Welcome to the second of three exciting updates on OpenShot 2.0! This update will be a bit more technical than the last, but I'll try and keep it understandable for those who want to follow the process of developing software, and especially the process of developing a video editor. Sharing Data and Synchronizing Everything Using JSON to Communicate Changes Exciting Possibilities with JSON OpenShot 2.0 contains many different modules which all need to have access to the same information. For example, theneeds to know what files are available for a project, be able to undo and redo actions, communicate button clicks to the other modules, etc... Theneeds to know what clips to mix together, which effects to apply, what frame to display, etc... And theneeds to visualize this same data to the user, so they can see what's happening and arrange their clips, etc...When a user moves a clip on the timeline, many things must happen. First, the timeline must communicate the clip's new position / location to both the interface (so it can be saved in your project, added to the project's history, etc...) and the video player (so it can update the video preview, and display the new video). And similarly, when a file is deleted from the interface (i.e. video project), the timeline needs to remove any clips related to that file, and the video preview must be updated.So, they all need to access the same data, and communicate in 3 directions at all times. No problem, right? To accomplish this feet, we have built in some very robust support for JSON ( JavaScript Object Notation ). If you are not familiar with JSON, feel free to follow the link and learn more, but basically it is a simple, easy-to-write and understand notation, which can be used to share information between different programs.In other words, we have 3 basic programs: a C++ video library, Python user-interface, and a JavaScript timeline. Of course, there is no built-in way for all these different programs to communicate. So, using the powerful JSON notation just felt right, and has worked great for us.When something is changed in OpenShot 2.0, such as a new clip is dragged onto the timeline, a new file is added to a project, or the user clicks the undo button, this creates a small JSON string, which describes the change, and then distributes that change to all modules in OpenShot 2.0. Our powerful new video editing framework, libopenshot, can easily digest these special JSON "changes", and then only apply those changes to the current timeline. This is much faster than serializing our entire timeline on each change.Not only is this an efficient model for sharing data between the interface, timeline, and libopenshot, but it is human readable, simple, and also allows us to use JSON in other creative ways. Such as a powerful undo / redo system, which is actually just re-applying these JSON changes in reverse or forward order.By leveraging the power of JSON, it also allows us to save the project file as JSON, bind the JSON to our HTML timeline with Angular.js, and will allow users to easily edit their project files. In fact, it will even allow users to build their own project files dynamically with a little scripting... if they want to have some programming fun!Okay, so hopefully you see some of the cool features that JSON will bring to OpenShot, but let me now demonstrate how easy it is to generate and use JSON in libopenshot with just a Python shell.>>>>>>>>>r.Json()Okay, so that was pretty easy! How about we change a few properties of this reader, by using some JSON of our own.>>> rWhen Python, JSON, and libopenshot are combined, things suddenly become very fun! If you are especially bored one afternoon, you might find yourself in a Python shell editing a video project without any user-interface. When I catch myself doing that, it makes me laugh. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed part 2 of our special 3 part update! There are still many more updates to share, so I hope you will join me tomorrow evening for the final update (for now)!

I am ambivalent about money. A lot of it is wrapped up in my class background: a poor white girl from a failed working class family. Like many failed working class people, my family fell into drugs, addiction, and an endless series of scrounged jobs that went no where and didn't often last long. We were touched by the justice system, by disease there was no money to treat, and just a bit touched. Being poor in America without a stable job is considered so close to crazy it might was well be a diagnosable mental illness. When you are poor in America money is chained to shame. You are ashamed that you don't have it, you are ashamed when you do but don't share it with family and friends, you are ashamed when you want it, you are ashamed of what you're willing to do to get it. Like all unchosen masters, you hate it as much as you need it. Money makes you angry, it's what families yell and lie to each other about. Its power is mythologized. One of my most vivid memories of my childhood was my father declaring he didn't have any problems money couldn't solve. The poor don't get to keep their money. While it's well understood that the poor pay more for things and more often, that's not what I mean. Poor people survive by being part of a community. It can be a family, a neighborhood, or a subculture of alienated teens. Affiliation can take many shapes, and the poor often have more than one. It is implicit and absolute that poor people must support each other. You must make sure those in dire need get what they need even if it costs your savings. This is the fragile safety net that keeps so many people alive and able to function in America, and much of the world. It takes many names, mutual aid, remittance, resource sharing. But if you are making money, you are expected to contribute to keep other people going. To not share your money is to risk not only losing that path of support yourself, but social isolation and shunning. You're never going to save your way out of being poor unless you're willing to walk away from family and loved ones and let them suffer and sometimes die. Often, the only way you can keep money when you get it is to spend it at once, before the requests for help come in. Making money causes shame, having money causes shame, spending it is no better, and it rules everything you do. In America, even relying on community is a source of shame. The long admired idea of the “self-made man” isn't self-made because he's built the strong and loyal social connections that will support him, defend him, and turn to him for wisdom and affection throughout his long and social life. The self-made man is defined as someone who has hoarded enough money that he can pay for those things even if he is universally reviled, because destitution and need drive others, even if they despise him, into servitude to him until he dies, presumably alone. A word to America: you may want to rethink this conception of esteem, because that is all kinds of fucked up. In my 20s I started dating my way into Middle Class culture. The Middle Class get to keep their money, but in exchange for a social isolation that horrified me when I first encountered it. The truth is, it still horrifies me. The American Dream of a middle class life that the poor, like myself, are supposed to reach for is a nightmare of alienation and loneliness. It takes its physical form in suburbs, and other living arrangements where you can die and be eaten by the cats over a period of months before anyone bothers to check on you. Even the parent-child bond couldn't survive the distance built by suburbs and allowances and that most dreaded of American institutions, financial independence. In families, everything in the middle class pushes people to abandon each other as soon as they have the money to. Children are pushed to education and stable corporate jobs so that they can be shameless — never needing their families in any way. Parents are pushed towards saving for retirement, in either the hope of financially created independence or expectation that their grown children would never abide their presence. Most of my friends now are middle class, and many of them barely have any relationship with their parents. The ones that do usually have large immigrant families that haven't yet assimilated into the dream of American Loneliness. My mother and I have had a nightmare relationship, but we will always give each other anything we can, and we can talk about anything. My mother knows exactly what I do, understands the technology I work with, because she is interested in my life. I also know far more about horse racing, her thing, than I have any reason to, though I feel guilty for not knowing more. Our relationship, while atypical in most ways, is typical of how not just the poor but people have supported each other since we started dabbling in civilization, and perhaps before. The poor do not merely owe each other money, they owe each other life, which they give to each other in abundance. Money can be used to extract and isolate; it can be used to provide, to bind, to protect, to strangle. So, it is with no small trepidation that I watch my beloved internet start to play with the idea of creating a native variety of this strange cultural talisman.

Japanese teens say 'only the fox god knows' when they will return to the festival https://link.brightcove.com/services/player/?bctid=4456642801001 J-Pop/metal teens Babymetal have revealed that they hope to take the headline slot at Reading and Leeds one day. NME spoke to the group at Reading on Saturday (August 29) about whether they would like to come back and play the festival. Su-Metal of the talked-about three-piece said: “Absolutely! We were very nervous for there to be so many people. Some day I would like to see everyone in the crowd holding up a fox sign.” When asked if they could plot a potential date for their return performance, the band – made up of Su-metal, 16, Moametal, 14, and Yuimetal, 14 – said: “Only the fox god knows.” Babymetal were also asked why they think they connect with people across so many different cultures. “I think people like catchy and new type of music,” said Babymetal’s Yuimetal. “Fans here and outside of Japan are all so welcoming. Watching them have fun makes us more happy and it gives us the motivation to move on further with Babymetal and do more.” The three-piece recently supported Lady Gaga on her US tour, opening up for the singer at five shows in July and August. They had been due to make their UK debut at Sonisphere this June, but organisers cancelled the event because they couldn’t get a suitable line-up together. Sharethrough (Mobile) Opening the Main Stage on the Saturday, Babymetal here“>delivered one of the most batshit crazy sets Reading has seen. Their Sunday performance at Bramham Park brought ‘true metal’ to Leeds.

109 SHARES Share Tweet Whatsapp School holidays are well underway in many states and about to begin in others. How do you keep the extra people in the house occupied and happy? We all love our kids but let’s face it, having them around the house all day can still lead to some tension as they unwind the tiredness from the school term and sometimes struggle to keep themselves occupied happily. Most days we can find an activity to get out of the house, head to the park, visit a friend or pick up some things at the store but here is one strategy that I sometimes use to fill in a morning or an afternoon at home. Brainstorming Spend a few minutes with each child alone writing down some activities that they enjoy doing in and around the house. I let them write down as many as they like and then we sift through to highlight five or six things that we think would give them a balanced afternoon. By balanced I mean not too much screens, some individual activities and possibly some combined activities. School holidays are usually fairly short and so I’m a little more flexible than I would be throughout the term. Here are a bunch of ideas to prompt them with if they can’t think of them: read a book draw an epic picture play a board or card game watch some TV play with some toys that they haven’t seen for months dress up … Yes it works for boys and girls jump on the trampoline play some sport make paper aeroplanes clean out or organise a small space, desk, cupboard etc Planning I then let the kids make a plan from those top activities. It’s much more likely that they will be enthusiastic about the plan if they’ve had a chance to create it themselves but I’m always careful to call it a draft plan because there is often more than one of them and I need to coordinate to make sure there’s no clashes. Initially I was basically doing all the work but as the cherubs get older they can pretty much sort it out themselves. Let Them Go In early primary school I’d often ring a bell every 30 minutes or set a timer for when to switch activities … and reward them with a snack or something for occupying themselves well (if they did haha). We had our share of failures but more often than not by spending 5-10 minutes planning we could get through a half a day pretty pleasantly … And it always worked best with some sort of reward to look forward to at the end. For my boys that was often a movie night or some kind of outing or special dinner of their choosing. Nothing revolutionary here but give it a go and let us know how it works.

At the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City Monday afternoon 10 people were killed in an air strike — nine of them children from the Abu Shafka and Al Maqdad families. Residents told VICE News that a large group of children had been playing in the camp's playground when a missile struck. The narrow road and play area was left stained with blood, and nearby houses and cars were torn apart by the shrapnel blast. According to Palestinian reports, the strikes came from the Israeli military. This charge has been denied by Israel, and the IDF instead blamed the casualties on “failed rocket attacks" launched by Hamas. Once again, the morgue at al-Shifa Hospital was inundated with bodies. At nearly the same time as the strike in the Shati camp, a concurrent strike in the Zeitoun area of Gaza City killed the Dhaher family of five. Relatives scrambled to collect the bodies of their loved ones from the morgue in order to bury the bodies before sunset. Since the offensive began nearly three weeks ago, none of the more than 1,000 funerals in Gaza have taken place after sunset. Residents believe it is too dangerous to collect together after dark, for fear of being targeted by an Israeli airstrike.

Right now, both allies and enemies need the same time to capture a spire (2 seconds), get the same amount of gold (15 to 30), and have the same lock-out time (15 seconds). The ability should favor certain parties in certain regards though. >##For Skarner's Allies **They should be easier to capture**: This could scale downwards with level (2 seconds --> 2/1.75/1.5/1.25/1) or it could just be slightly lower (1.75 seconds or 1.5). Capturing spires for or as Skarner shouldn't be a chore, it's supposed to benefit his whole team. Right now all it does is benefit Skarner a little and root one of his allies for 2 seconds. **They shouldn't grant gold**: Skarner's spires are different from other summoned "units" in that they can be summoned by his allies as well. However, this shouldn't allow them to grant gold. Even so, the gold almost seems like a pittance for making you waste your team capturing the spire. Instead, they should grant other, better rewards. **Their lock-out time should scale up with level**: That way Skarner is still encouraged to capture spires before or during fights in the early to mid game, but he needn't worry so much about that in the late game. Instead, he'd have zones he can rely on and conquer. **Their vision should last longer**: Instead of gold, spires should grant Skarner's allies a tangible reward for being captured. Currently the vision they grant when captured only lasts for 1.5 seconds. I suggest upping that to 3 or 5 seconds. The vision could decay during this duration and the duration could scale with Skarner's level, but Supports would be much more willing to capture spires if they helped with vision control. >##For Skarner's Enemies: **They should be harder to capture in comparison**: The capture duration could stay at 2 seconds, as long as it is shorter for Skarner's allies. It could also be upped to anything from 2.25 to 3 seconds. Capturing spires as Skarner's enemies *should* be a chore. But it should have its own rewards as well, which are ... **... They should grant more gold**: Instead of 15/30 something like 25/50. **... Their lock-out time should last longer**: This would encourage enemies to capture Skarner's spires before fights to deny them for the fight. This lock-out time would still be shorter than Skarner's allies' in the late game though. >##Capture Denial Lastly, the means of capturing spires should be different. Standing on a spire to deny capture is too difficult for what they do and leads to frequent shifts in control of spires. **Skarner should be the only one who can capture spires despite enemies**. So the only thing keeping Skarner from conquering what's his is the lock-out time. Everyone else should have their capture attempt canceled if they are damaged by an enemy champion or if an enemy champion is standing on the spire. P.s.: Spire size (the inner capture zone, not its radius) could also be slightly increased. Title Body Cancel Save

2017, so far: President Trump has called for 45% tariffs on goods imported from China; Xi Jinping is now hailed as "globalization's greatest defender;" and Jack Ma has admonished, "If trade stops, war starts." But with the tech industry increasingly reliant on globalized supply chains, the free flow of data across borders, and international markets to drive growth, what are companies to make of this shifting trade landscape? Could China's Great Firewall and its concept of "digital sovereignty" become the new trading norm? And will changes in American trade policy unsettle the established economic order? This expert panel will discuss the new Administration’s tough stance on trade, and how actions here at home could impact new forms of innovation in a mobile, networked, data intensive and cloud-based world.

When Simon Parkin published his review of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception at Eurogamer, a mild firestorm erupted, launching a contentious debate about the role of criticism during the review process. Parkin’s review took issue with the Uncharted design philosophy as a whole, but still awarded the game an 8/10 at the bottom of the page--a respectable score from an outlet as tough as Eurogamer! Fans, developers, and even some writers wondered aloud whether Parkin had picked the appropriate venue for his examination of Naughty Dog’s choices. I wrote my own piece about the ensuing response, which prompted a more intimate conversation about the subject with game developer Manveer Heir, who is currently a senior designer on Mass Effect 3 at BioWare Montreal. Heir has been kicking around the industry for a while now, having landed at BioWare Montreal and the Mass Effect series after five years with Raven Software in Wisconsin, the home state of my dearest football rivals. Heir is known for his outspoken nature, and isn’t one to walk away from a controversial subject. In fact, it was Heir that proposed we start a back-and-forth letter series about game reviews and publish it. I suggested we throw it up on Giant Bomb in its entirety, and he agreed. If you’re not familiar with Heir, you can read his dusty blog Design Rampage (which he promises to update), follow him on Twitter, scope this Kill Screen interview about his early years, or load up a Gamasutra interview about race. Take it away, Manveer. Note: This exchange took place over email, and I've done minimal editing to reflect the casual style. -- Patrick, Heir is working on Mass Effect 3, a sequel to one of this generation's most beloved games. Thanks for agreeing to discuss the role of game criticism and reviews with me. It's something that has been bothering me for some time now, and I wanted to discuss it with someone who works in the field, instead of just talking to other people like myself who often bitch on Twitter. So you know where I'm coming from, I'll give you a brief background about myself before I became a game developer. I used to cover the news, write previews, reviews, and do interviews for the enthusiast press (what is now known as bloggers) for a couple sites when I was in high school and early college (late 90s, early 2000s). It was a means to an end to get connected to the game development community, instead of wanting to be a journalist, but hey, it worked. More specifically, I don't think I was particularly good at my job. I judged games on 100-point scales that broke scores down into component parts like graphics, sound, etc. (something I find abhorrent now in my life). I say this so you understand that I've actually done the job (to a novice extent) for over five years, and so I understand some of the pressures reviewers are under in today's climate, as well as how the job goes. My issues currently stem from games criticism and games reviewing, and should they even be the same thing. I am of the mind that they should not, and here's why. I should explicitly note that all my opinions are my own and not my employer's. Games criticism is new, it's in its infancy, and it's growing with every day. Game reviews, on the other hand, have been consumed for a very long time. As a developer, I love game criticism. I love reading my issues of Kill Screen, I love reading how someone finds a game sexist or offensive due to certain elements that are engrained in our culture, when we never stop to sit and think WHY they are engrained. I love all of that, I want more criticism. As a developer, I thrive and grow off criticism. I need it from my peers and those outside to better my own sensibilities, lest my colleagues and I rest on our collective laurels in the future. But when we give those criticisms a score, we do something else. We make the criticism the focus of the entire product. To use specific examples, let's look at Simon Parkin's Eurogamer review of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Parkin is an author I greatly respect and someone whose work as a critic I find to be on point often times, and his review is recent, which is why I cite it. In his review he states "Uncharted 3 is the most exciting game in the world, but only until you deviate from the script." He goes on to expand on how the game makes you feel like nothing more than an "interactive butler" at times. Now, this is a criticism of how linear the game is. Like Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3 is very linear. In fact, like Modern Warfare 2, it is very linear. Like Gears of War 3, it is very linear. Like countless other 90+ rated titles, it is very linear. Many blockbuster games that are coming out are very linear. This is the choice they have made. All of them have this problem. The issue I have isn't with this criticism, but rather the calling out of this criticism on Uncharted 3 as a reason for a rating. Because, if that's the case, then shouldn't Modern Warfare 2 have similar criticisms embedded in it and review score docked accordingly? Yet a review of that game by Parkin doesn't mention, in-depth, the linearity issues like it does with Uncharted 3. If a sequel is just following the path established by the other games, is that a knock against it? The issue does not lie with the criticism. The issue lies with what the game is. I do not judge a pie poorly because it is not cake. Both are delicious desserts, and there is a time and a place for both (the place, specifically, is in my belly). So when talking about player agency regarding linear vs. open-world games, I find these to be drastically different styles that are like comparing pies to cakes. I have a strong preference to see more player agency, and I, too, get frustrated when it is stripped away from me in games. But how do we reconcile this when all of our games that are linear have the same base problem? Do they all just get judged down a point because they are linear? Do we make sure all reviewers from a publication know that when they have different reviewers judge a game? It seems difficult to handle things this way. I think making pointed criticisms about Uncharted 3's linearity, and then potentially tying it in into the entire industry's reliance on scripted narrative, Parkin could have made a wonderful piece that wasn't overshadowed by the 8/10 score he gave that sent fans into an uproar. The existence of the score took the piece away from criticism of the work and into a review of the work, and sadly, to me, it took away Parkin's ability to actually make a wonderful point because people got too up in arms about a number. To me, a review serves a different purpose. Criticism exists absolutely. Reviews exist relatively. What I mean is, I don't rate Iron Man the movie the same way I may rate Crash. However, if you asked me what I thought of both pieces I would say, in a word, "must see." But clearly their goals are different; one is a well-done piece of Hollywood blockbuster and the other is a poignant piece about race relations in contemporary society. Sometimes I'm in the mood for Iron Man. Sometimes I'm in the mood for Crash. Sometimes I'm in the mood for pie. Ok, I'm almost always in the mood for pie. But I think you get the point. Shouldn't we then review our games in the same light? Shouldn't a game that is trying to be a linear piece of Hollywood blockbuster be rated against how those types of games typically play and the expectation of the audience? Shouldn't a review tell me if this piece of work is worth my time or not? Is that not a different question than "does this piece of work have flaws"? Trying to relate Uncharted 2 to something like Dark Souls is very hard to do, and I think we go down a bad path when we try to do it. Let's keep criticizing games. Let's do it louder than ever. The development community needs it! But let's not mix our critique with our reviews. To me one is about recommendations to an audience, and the other is about the state of the art. The latter is far more useful than the former in my world. I'm all for the abolishment of reviews, but I think sites like yours may take a readership hit if that happens. So, without that happening, I think we should separate the two. Am I crazy? Do I have the wrong expectations for what the function of the two are? Or are my opinions just colored too darkly from my life as a developer who has to live with the score of reviews? Let me know your thoughts. Sincerely, Manveer -- Manveer, Skyward Sword is a terrific Zelda game, but it's also a very familiar game for many reasons. One of the things I love about the video games industry is our collective commitment to self-reflection, a willingness to open ourselves up in the pursuit of becoming better players, creators or writers. In my case, I'm a journalist first and a critic second, a path I started walking down in high school, when an English teacher suggested the best way to ensure I could make a buck putting words on a page was journalism. I'd been writing about video games earlier than that, however, having attended my first E3 back in 1998. If memory serves me right, I was 14 back then, and I've been writing about games in some form since then, attending college for print journalism and rotating between news posts at various outlets. And while reporting is my daily bread and butter, I'm also a reviewer, having recently endured the trial-by-fire that was reviewing a new Zelda game--The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. My experience giving the latest Zelda a less-than-perfect score fits right in to this conversation, as it was the first review I'd written after reading Simon's review of Uncharted 3 and writing a follow-up editorial that criticized the hyperbolic response from fans. Before I launch into my own process, perhaps we should back up and examine the purpose of a review. Until only recently, reviews have had more in common with what you'd read in Consumer Reports than a serious critical analysis, an attempt to explain what a game is, isn't and whether it's worth spending any money on. That alone is useful to a great many people, and part of the reason reviews are so important to video games in particular is because, individually, they cost more money than other mediums. You don't feel as burned about wasting $10 on the latest bucket of CGI from Michael Bay compared to shelling out $60 at GameStop, realizing the marketing mislead you, and having nothing but a set of achievements to show for it. There is a very real, important role for reviews that intends to accomplish no more than answering the question of yes or no. But is that all we should expect from our reviews? Often times, we already know if we're going to buy a game or not, and a review is just a way to read about the game in some opinionated specificity before the game unlocks on Steam. For that audience, of which I'd argue there's a very large one visiting most enthusiast publications, a typical review doesn't provide any real service. As publications evolve, game companies have only themselves to blame for the predicament we're now in. Metacritic has its own issues, but the importance publishers have placed upon Metacritic is the bigger problem, and it's clear publications are beginning to understand the power of Metacritic to varying degrees. For some, it's a recognition that reviews may not impact video game sales in any meaningful way, but the reviews (and the scores attached) are, in fact, meaningful, as publishers have made them important, and the words that appear in those reviews suddenly take on a different weight. Few took issue with the script-driven design in Uncharted and Uncharted 2, but Uncharted 3 took heat. I don't want this to become yet another conversation about Metacritic, as it's only part of the issue, and the evolution of the review seems more encouraged by the homogeneous nature of so many of them. Unless I'm seeking out the opinions of a specific author, I'm not interested in reading a dozen glowing reviews of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I want to read the review from the one guy that fucking hated it, the guy who wants to make the argument about why it's actually terrible. Maybe I don't end up agreeing with this hypothetical guy, but I don't need my opinions validated, I need my opinions challenged. You do point to one real problem with game reviews that publications deal with in different ways. Edge does not specify who actually reviewed a game. Edge is known for being tough, so when Edge proclaims your game is worthy of a 10 (which, for the record, does not mean perfect!), that actually means something. Most publications, however, have a byline in the review, and when it comes to games that don't receive 10/10 or 5/5, the comparative analysis begins. "Well," so the argument goes, "they gave Skyward Sword and Fruit Ninja Kinect a 4/5, so they're both of equal quality." This isn't fair to either game or the reviewer. I'm not of the mind a publication should find itself beholden to making sure its reviews are wholly consistent against everything that has come before it, as games are good, bad and weird for entirely individual reasons that aren't comparable. What a 4/5 means for Fruit Ninja is a bit different than what 4/5 means for Skyward Sword. And here's how I'll circle back to my Skyward Sword review. The Zelda series has existed for more than 20 years, essentially becoming a genre unto itself. This happens to many longtime franchises, and it's happening before our eyes with Call of Duty. The reviews for Modern Warfare 3 almost universally ding the game for being more of the game, but the game's sales suggest that doesn't mean very much to the fans--they want more of the same. The struggle for the reviewer, then, is the audience he's writing to. Haven't most Call of Duty fans made up their mind about whether they are buying the new Call of Duty? Is there anyone who is really "on the fence" about buying Modern Warfare 3? Knowing that, a review that's targeted directly at Call of Duty fans isn't much use to anybody at all, and launching into a larger criticism of this subgenre could be useful to someone like myself, who isn't really interested in yet another on-rails shooter. Parkin didn't review Modern Warfare 3, so we can't predict what he would have said about that one, but the Uncharted series falls into the same boat, and writing 1,000 words about how "Did you like Uncharted 2? Let me tell you why you would like Uncharted 3!" isn't much use, and a grand critique of the foundational philosophy of the series' game design is only possible with the perspective of three games. With Skyward Sword, I found myself as someone who was no longer satisfied with many of the tropes that had come to define the Zelda series, even if Skyward Sword is a game that works within them very well. The review I wrote, if successful, will read like a five to someone who doesn't have the same hangups, but I'm not that person and I can't write a review for that person. I can only hope to string together a series of words and sentences that allow them to see why I came to my conclusion, and how they might draw another one. But writing a review of Skyward Sword that ignored everything around it would be purposeful ignorance, and a disservice to the same amount of lavish, immaculate detail Nintendo spent crafting the game. The easy way out would be to drop scores, but let's not kid ourselves, as that won't happen. What's the middle ground? Good luck finishing Mass Effect, Patrick Look for the next installment of our three-part conversation on Monday. Want more pieces like this? Let me know.

3 Ways God Brings Things to You – Craig Cooper Articles About Craig Cooper Categories : all Miscellaneous Church Leadership Gifts – 5 Fold Discipleship Faith Fiction Gifts – Holy Spirit Marriage, Family & Parenting Worship & Music Holy Spirit Hearing God Small Groups ‹ › 3 Ways God Brings Things to You By Craig B. Cooper July 15, 2012 There are 3 ways that God brings things to you. This includes needs, wants, and fulfillment of promises. 1. To You This is the direct approach. This is where God just gives you what you need directly to you. This could be a surprise check in the mail, a great idea gotten in the shower, or a gift from a friend. An analogy for this approach is when your Father gives you a present on your birthday. You didn’t do anything to get the gift. It’s fun and basically no work to have something given to you. God does this often and it is awesome. 2. For You This is the indirect approach. This is where God provides what you need through others for you. God does this because He enjoys seeing others minister and serve others. It is a reflection of His nature. It teaches His people to be servants and sensitive to His leading. This approach requires us recognizing where God leads others to work on our behalf. It is often a humbling experience and shows that we are not an island but a part of the entire body of Christ. 3. Through You This is where God wants to work through you to accomplish what you need in your life. The ‘To You’ approach is where a father gives a fish to his son. The ‘Through You’ approach is where he teaches you how to fish. Father God loves doing this with His sons and daughters. Instead of just giving us stuff He teaches us how to create and get our own stuff. It is like a Father passing on the family business to his son over a long period of time. The Lord loves training us to think like Him, act like Him, do business like Him, and speak like Him. This is why He loves the ‘Through You’ method of giving us stuff. If He just gave us stuff then we would never know much more about Him except that He was generous. This is one reason that He will not rescue us from our problem. He wants us to draw close to Him and seek advice on how to overcome our problem. If we are constantly rescued from our problem then we will always be vulnerable when that problem comes up again. But if we learn how to overcome our problem then the problem can’t overtake us again in the future. We have become mature and victorious in that area! Enjoy the To You, receive the For You, and become awesome in your journey of Him working Through You? Share this: Print Email Facebook Twitter Tumblr LinkedIn Reddit Like this: Like Loading...

Gina Rinehart-backed Bannister Downs Dairy has warned Australia has a problematic new "workforce culture", in which young people did not want to do menial labour or wanted to get paid too much money to do it. Bannister Downs managing director Sue Daubney said many young people did not want to work in agriculture, which is why the sector needed to recruit foreign workers on 457 or temporary work visas. "It's the new workforce culture that is the big problem. They expect to be paid high dollars and expect certain conditions. Agriculture can't afford that.": Bannister Downs Dairy managing director Sue Daubney. Credit:Philip Gostelow "It is not just the cost of [labour] and the cost of managing it,which we all share in WA but the growing issues that we are getting with culture and the work ethic that is coming through and the preparedness to do what needs doing," Ms Daubney told a Committee for the Economic Development of Australia luncheon in Perth on Tuesday. "Sometimes in agriculture, I can tell you that's not very attractive and that's why we often end up with 457 visas or temporary residents because they understand the value of having a job and nothing is too much trouble as long as they get paid for it."

E3 2015 . Hopefully, you just saw Sean go out on stage at Sony’s E3 press conference to present the first time we’ve played No Man’s Sky live in public. We’ve been building towards this moment for a long time, and we’ve found that expressing all the things you can do in an infinite universe in just three or four minutes on a stage is pretty hard. But what we hoped is to give you a real flavour of the kind of shape your journey towards the centre of the galaxy might take. No Man’s Sky is about the choices you make within a living, breathing universe, and we wanted to show you reasons for why you might want to explore it, and what stands in your way. We really hope that you liked what you saw. This isn’t all we’re doing at E3 this year. We wanted to let you know about a few more things you can expect from us. We’ll also be talking to as many press as we possibly can, and showing them the game. Look out on your favoured local outlet for more 🙂 Thanks so much, as ever, for all the amazing support and good feels you give us. Love, Hello Games

ROH TV Episode 316 10/7/17 Las Vegas, NV There are still shots & highlight videos of all the big match results from “Death Before Dishonor XV” including Jay Briscoe turning on Bully Ray, The Motor City Machine Guns and Kenny King becoming the new ROH World Tag Team and Television champions respectively, Punishment Martinez and Silas Young ending their feuds with Jay White and Jay Lethal respectively in brutal fashion, and Cody making Minoru Suzuki kiss the ring of Honor after he bested him. Silas Young came out to show off his scars from the Last Man Standing match with Jay Lethal. Claiming he was beaten like a dog, but couldn’t be kept down, Young declares he’s better than the golden boy. But unlike Lethal, Young isn’t selfish as he wants tag team gold alongside Beer City Bruiser. “The Last Real Man” had an offer for a third man in the locker room to join forces with “Milwaukee’s Worst” because he’s a real man just like them: Minoru Suzuki. Young, stating Suzuki is up for the task, called out The Hung Bucks. Upset was Matt Jackson that they had to stop signing autographs to come out to not only officially dub themselves “The Hung Bucks”, but also accept the challenge … only when it’s the main event. ROH World Television Championship: Kenny King (c) vs. Josh Woods Great reception for the hometown champ before the tie up that eventually saw King be tripped to the mat and almost rolled into a pinning combination. The champ seemed a little surprised just how fluid Woods was, but King kept his composure and lured Woods into picking up the pace and running into a side headlock. While commentators Ian Riccaboni & Colt Cabana announced that we’d not only get that Six-Man Tag title match tonight, but also we’ll hear from Jay Briscoe about his actions, Woods muscled Kenny into a fall away slam against the turnbuckles for a two count heading into the commercial break. The episode returned and Woods was crawling to the ropes to save himself from that Last Chancery. Though King was working over the neck of his opponent, that fall away slam had done some damage to the champ. Unleashing a spinning heel kick, King put Woods on the apron. The two started struggling for a chance to suplex the other, only for King to opt for the Eddy Gordo into a twisting plancha when “The Goods” hit the floor from that capoeira kick. Woods stopped what seemed to be a sure three count, kneeing & kicking his way to his feet before landing a knee strike that knocked the spit out of Kenny. The rolling gut-wrench suplexes were a precursor to Woods’ doctor bomb … that gave him a near fall! Death By Knee failed for Woods, but not the triangle choke as King’s springboard attack sent him careening right into the submission. King was fading fast when he stood up to relieve the pressure and press Woods’ shoulders to the mat. Forgetting this isn’t MMA, Woods didn’t let go of the hold in time as the referee counted him down for a Kenny King victory. King followed the Code of Honor before taking the microphone. King wanted everyone to know he will be a fighting champion; promising to take on anyone in honor of Las Vegas. Shane Taylor apparently heard the champ and came out to put his name on the list of future challengers. Chuckie T. soon followed, as did Punishment Martinez from the crowd and Mark Briscoe from the locker room. King didn’t care who was first, but they would bend a knee at his throne when it’s all said & done. In the promo area stood Marty Scurll to personally invite viewers to witness Cody signing the lucrative contract in ROH history next week. ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship: The Hung Bucks (c) vs. Silas Young, Beer City Bruiser & Minoru Suzuki Suzuki, who seemed to revel in the fans’ adulation on his way to the ring, had qualms about shaking hands with his own partners. Nick Jackson was all kinds of fired up, screaming for a tag when he realized he had angered the much larger Beer City Bruiser. Matt had to save his brother, becoming a human springboard to dropkick BCB, knock down Silas with a triple dropkick alongside Page, and threaten Minoru (to no fear in regards to the latter). Page tagged in, calling out Suzuki. Minoru unleashed a blistering chop that weakened Page’s knees, but “The Hangman” was glad to return the favor before slamming him. Suzuki crab walked off his back to cinch in the kimura. Matt tried to save Page, but got a kimura, too. The champs were all stuck in kimuras when Bruiser grabbed an incoming Nick, sending The Bullet Club scurrying to the floor as Young & Bruiser gave each other a little too sweet action prior to the commercial break. The challengers were still in control with Young mocking the fans for clapping for The Hung Bucks as Minoru illegally cinched in a knee bar on Matt from the apron where he performed some sit-ups during the activity. Suzuki became the legal man, going after the left ankle of Matt while mocking & threatening his other opponents. Suzuki even positioned the referee to not see illegal attacks from Young & Bruiser. Getting too mouthy with his opponent, Young couldn’t stop Matt from catching him with the springboard ace crusher. BCB tried to halt Matt’s tag, only to be lured into a chase around ringside where Nick kicked Bruiser as Page tagged in to become the proverbial house of fire. Page pulled off an impressive combo by turning a dropkick on Bruiser into a moonsault on Young after connecting with a Samoan drop on “The Last Real Man”. Bruiser recovered, taking out The Young Bucks with a cross body after they super kicked Suzuki. Page was the next to feel Bruiser’s girth when he was taken down on the floor with that cannonball. The fans were on their feet as BCB became the legal man and climbed the ropes for the frog splash off Suzuki’s Gotch Piledriver to Page … that gave BCB a near fall thanks to interference from The Young Bucks before the commercial break! #SuperKickParty was stopped by the Suzuki Sleeper on Matt. Page saved Matt, only to anger Minoru in the process. Drilling Suzuki with a forearm after being spit on, Page had to contend with Young. Matt & Nick ran in to prevent the Peegee Waja Plunge and allowed Page to moonsault atop Young & Bruiser. Young was prone to an Indytaker on the floor that saw “The Hangman” use his shooting star press off the apron to drive Silas against the concrete. Bruiser was alone and couldn’t stop the impressive show of strength by Page as he hit the Rite of Passage on the big man to pick up the three count for his team. Bruiser blamed Minoru for the loss, shoving him around. Suzuki responded by punching both men, locking in the sleeper on Bruiser before security ran out to stop a brawl between Minoru & Young. Jay Briscoe came out to finally explain himself & his actions in regards to bashing Bully Ray on the head with a table that knocked the former Tag Team champion out cold. Before an obviously angered Jay Briscoe could get out anything of substance, the crowd went crazy as someone stepped onto the stage. It was Tommy Dreamer! But Dreamer wasn’t here to soak in the crowd’s adulation, but to tell Briscoe about just how tough Bully Ray is including having a permanent limp for wrestling at “Barely Legal” with a broken ankle, losing a part of his ear due to a bar fight, and being concussed by Chris Jericho in a TLC match to the point he forgot his mother passed three months prior to that match. On that night in Las Vegas in 2002, Dreamer saw the effects of years of abuse for the love of this business. Dreamer turned his attention solely to Jay Briscoe and warned him that he had seriously messed up and there might not be an opportunity to right that wrong. Dreamer thanked the crowd before leaving. Jay had no follow up and simply left as well to a booing audience. Overall: The first official episode taped after “Death Before Dishonor XV” definitely was a good one thanks to two exhilarating matches and a pair of promos sandwiching it all together. From an in-ring perspective, both title matches had a lot of time to work and delivered in spades. The Six-Man title match wasn’t surprising for being so good considering the talent, but the TV title match really impressed because it showed just how much both men have grown as wrestlers – in regards to Woods, in a very short period of time. So far King’s reign is off to a good start and here’s to it really being accepted across the board as a main event talent. The promos at the top & bottom of the episode were also very good as Silas Young not only got a chance to gloat over defeating Jay Lethal, but also give the fans knowledge of his goals – something that wrestling has been lacking a lot as of late where the viewing audience has no idea what a wrestler’s current motivations are. Dreamer coming out to explain Bully’s status and why Jay should be looking for forgiveness was enthralling and still left the big question for Jay as to why he did what he did to be explained down the road (maybe when Bully comes back to confront him). The episode wasn’t perfect though. Having Silas on the losing end of a match so quickly after “DBD” is disheartening even if he didn’t take the fall. It would’ve been great to see Young, Bruiser & Suzuki win a match here and then maybe get the title shot during the “Global Wars” tour that all three are a part of. It also would’ve been nice to have some type of build for the TV title match – Woods dominating the competition while he was being ducked by every other TV champ before King; being a little upset that Kenny leapt over him in the figurative rankings; how Las Vegas could’ve been his night if Woods got what was due to him instead of King. Also there was no “Coleman’s Pulpit”, or at least a promo by Coleman to promote a future guest. But most of those things don’t even come to mind during the actual show because of how good the episode is while pushing forward a couple of stories both major and minor heading into ROH’s next inter-promotional series of events.

Graphene really seems to be setting itself up as the eventual replacement for silicon, especially now that IBM is revealed to have managed the creation of a transistor much faster than any created so far. Graphene is a single layer of carbon arranges in hexagons and has, for quite some time, been tested upon. The goal is to use it in the creation of semiconductors, as a substitute for silicon, although the research efforts are still a way off from practical implementation. Nevertheless, advancements seem to be made on a more or less regular basis, sometimes even more often that one would expect. Just recently it was discovered that graphene transistors can actually cool themselves, meaning that they will contribute to energy efficiency not just through their own low power draw, but also through not needing much extra, active cooling, if any. Now, yet another research accomplishment has been reported, one that IBM is behind. Apparently, the company was able to make a transistor that can execute 155 billion cycles per second, a rate that is 50% beyond that of any previous experimental transistors. This is quite the progress, considering that electrons naturally move faster on graphene than on conventional transistors anyway. What these solutions lack (and makes them unsuited for PCs for now) is the on-off ratio needed for digital switching. Either way, 155 GHz is quite the performance considering that a 100 GHz one was demonstrated way back in 2010 (last year). High-performance RF (radio frequency) transistors are one of the possible practical applications for graphene, since it can process analog signals very well. It is also implied that it shouldn't take too long for high-performance transistors to start being commercially products, at low costs, using standard semiconductor manufacturing processes. Just how long is “not too long” continues to remain unclear, however.

TORONTO — An al-Qaida faction has claimed responsibility for missile strikes aimed at U.N. forces in Mali as the Canadian government is poised to announce details of its peacekeeping deployment to Africa. Photos posted on social media by Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb show two Grad missiles being fired at Timbuktu airport Tuesday, targeting what it called “French forces that invaded the lands of the Muslims.” We give the French invading forces and their henchmen glad tidings of more strikes with permission from Allah At Gao airport, the UN peacekeeping office was destroyed Tuesday by an explosive-laden truck, Reuters reported. The armed group Ansar Dine claimed to have attacked a French armored vehicle with a mine Sunday. Nobody was killed in the attacks but the intensification of the Islamist insurgency comes as the government is expected to announce it will contribute 600 soldiers and 150 police officers to a peacekeeping mission in Mali. “We give the French invading forces and their henchmen glad tidings of more strikes with permission from Allah,” according to a translation of AQIM’s statement by the SITE Intelligence Group. “And what is coming is more grievous and bitter.” The missiles missed their target, landing outside the airport perimeter, Reuters reported. The Gao bombing was claimed by the AQIM-linked Al Mourabitoun, whose “goal is to spread jihad across North Africa,” according to the Public Safety Canada website. The Long War Journal reported there had been 228 al-Qaida-linked attacks in the region so far in 2016, many of them in northern Mali. “This represents a significant increase in the al Qaeda-led insurgency in northern Mali since last year, which has also spilled over the borders more frequently than the prior two years.” • Email: sbell@nationalpost.com | Twitter: @StewartBellNP

Optimizing things in the USSR As a data scientist, a big part of my job involves picking metrics to optimize and thinking about how to do things as efficiently as possible. With these types of questions on my mind, I recently discovered a totally fascinating book about about economic problems in the USSR and the team of data-driven economists and computer scientists who wanted to solve them. The book is called Red Plenty. It’s actually written as a novel, weirdly, but it nevertheless presents an accurate economic history of the USSR. It draws heavily on an earlier book from 1973 called Planning Problems in the USSR, which I also picked up. As I read these books, I couldn’t help but notice some parallels with planning in any modern organization. In what will be familiar to any data scientist today, the second book even includes a quote from a researcher who complained that 90% of his time was spent cleaning the data, and only 10% of his time was spent doing actual modeling! Beyond all the interesting parallels to modern data science and operations research, these books helped me understand a lot of interesting things I previously knew very little about, such as linear programming, price equilibria, and Soviet history. This blog post is about I learned, and ends with some surprising-to-me speculation about whether the technical challenges that the brought down the Soviet Union would be as much of a problem in the future. Balance sheets and manual calculation: Kind of a trainwreck The main task in the centrally planned Soviet economy was to allocate resources so that a desired assortment of goods and services was produced. Every year, certain target outputs for each good were established. Armed with estimates of the available input resources, central administrators used balance sheets to set plans for every factory, specifying exactly how much input commodities each factory would receive, and how much output it should produce. Up through the 1960s, this was always done by manual calculation. Since there were hundreds of thousands of commodities, and since the supply chains had many dependency steps, it was impossible to compute the full balance sheets for the economy. The administrators therefore decided to make some simplifying assumptions. As a result of these these simplifying assumptions, resource allocation became a bit of a trainwreck. Below are a few of the simplifications and their consequences. Dimensionality reduction by removing variables. Because there were too many commodities to track, administrators often limited their analysis to the 10,000 most important commodities in the economy. But when the production of those commodities were planned, there was often a hidden shortage of commodities whose output was not planned centrally but which were used as inputs to one of the 10,000 planned products. Factories that depended on those commodities often sat idle for months as they waited for the shortages to end.

Factories that depended on those commodities often sat idle for months as they waited for the shortages to end. Dimensionality reduction by aggregation. Apparently, steel tubes can come in thousands of different types. They can come in different lengths, different shapes, and different compositions. To reduce the dimensionality of the problem, administrators would often track the total tonnage of a few broad classes of steel tubes in the models, rather than using a more detailed classification scheme. While their models successfully balanced the tonnage of tubes for the broad categories (the output in tons of tube-producing factories matched the input requirements in tons of tube-consuming factories), there were constant surpluses of some specific types of tubes, and shortages of other specific types of tubes. In particular, since tonnage was used as a metric, tube-producing factories were overly incentivized to make easy-to-produce thick tubes. As a result, thin tubes were always in short supply.

In particular, since tonnage was used as a metric, tube-producing factories were overly incentivized to make easy-to-produce thick tubes. As a result, thin tubes were always in short supply. Propagating adjustments only a few degrees back. Let’s say that during balance calculations, the administrators realized they needed to bump up the target output of one commodity. If they did that, it was also necessary to bump up the output targets of commodities that were input into the target commodity. But if they did that, they also needed to bump up the output targets of commodities that fed into those commodities, and so on! This involved a crazy amount of extra hand calculations every time they needed make an adjustment. To simplify things, the administrators typically made adjustments to the first-order suppliers, without making the necessary adjustments to the suppliers of the suppliers. This of course led to critical shortages of input commodities, which again led to idle factories. Even if the administrators could get the accounting correct, which they couldn’t, their attempts to allocate resources would still be far from optimal. In the steel industry, for example, some factories were better at producing some types of tubes whereas others were better at producing other types of tubes. Since there were thousands of different factories and tube types, it was non-trivial to decide how to best distribute resources and output requirements, and it was not immediately obvious which factories should be expanded and which should be closed down. Supply chain optimizations In the late 1960’s, a group of economists and computer scientists known as the “optimal planners” began to push for a better way of doing things. The group argued that a technique called linear programming, invented by Leonid Kantorovich, could optimally solve the problems with the supply chain. At a minimum, since the process could be computerized, it would be possible to perform more detailed calculations than could be done by hand, with less dimensionality reduction. But more importantly, linear programming allowed you to optimize arbitrary objective functions given certain constraints. In the case of the supply chain, it showed you how to efficiently allocate resources, identifying efficient factories that should get more input commodities, and inefficient factories that should be shut down. The optimal planners had some success here. For example, in the steel industry, about 60,000 consumers requested 10,000 different types of products from 500 producers. The producers were not equally efficient in their production. Some producers were efficient for some types of steel products, but less efficient for other types of steel products. Given the total amount of each product requested, and given the constraints of how much each factory can produce, the goal was decide how much each factory should produce of each type of product. If we simplify the problem by just asking how much each factory should produce without considering how the products will be distributed to the consuming factories, this becomes a straightforward application of the Optimal Assignment Problem, a well-studied example in linear programming. If we additionally want to optimize distribution, taking into account the distance-dependent costs of shipments from one factory to another, the problem becomes more complicated but is still doable. The problem becomes similar to the Transportation Problem, another well-studied example in linear programming, but in this case generalized to multiple commodities instead of just one. By introducing linear programming, the optimal planners were modestly successful at improving the efficiency of some industries, but their effect was limited. First, political considerations prevented many of the recommendations surfaced by the model from being implemented. Cement factories that were known to be too inefficient or too far away from consumers were allowed to remain open even though the optimal solution recommended that they be closed. Second, since the planners were only allowed to work in certain narrow parts of the economy, they never had an opportunity to propagate their recommendations back in the supply chain, although one could imagine extending the models to do so. Third, and perhaps most importantly, the value of each commodity was set by old-school administrators in an unprincipled way, and so the optimal planners were forced to optimize objective functions that didn’t even make sense. Ideas about optimizing the entire economy While the optimal planners were able to improve the efficiency of a few industries, they had more ambitious plans. They believed they could use linear programming to optimize the entire economy and outperform capitalist societies. Doing so involved more than just scaling out the supply chain optimizations adopted by certain industries. It involved shadow prices and interest rates, and a few other things I’ll admit I don’t totally understand. But while I don’t really understand the implementation, I feel like the broader goal of the planners is easier to understand and explain: Basically, in a completely free market, at least under certain assumptions, prices are supposed to converge to what’s called a General Equilibrium. The equilibrium prices have a some nice properties. They balance aggregate supply and demand, so that no commodities are in shortage or surplus. They are also Pareto efficient, which means that nobody in the economy can be made better off without making someone else worse off. The optimal planners thought that they could do better. In particular, they pointed to two problems with capitalism: First, prices in a capitalist society were determined by individual agents using trial and error to guess the best price. Surely these agents, who had imperfect information, were not picking the exactly optimal prices. In contrast, a central planner using optimal computerized methods could pick prices that hit the equilibrium more exactly. Second, and more importantly, capitalism targeted an objective function that — while Pareto efficient — was not socially optimal. Because of huge differences in wealth, some people were able to obtain far more goods and services than other people. The optimal planners proposed using linear programming to optimize an objective function that would be more socially optimal. For example, it could aim to distribute goods more equitably. It could prioritize certain socially valuable goods (e.g. books) over socially destructive goods (e.g. alcohol). It could prioritize sectors that provide benefits over longer time horizons (e.g. heavy industry). And it could include constraints to ensure full employment. What happened None of this ever really happened. The ambitious ideas of the optimal planners were never adopted, and by the 1970s it was clear that living standards in the USSR were falling further behind those of the West. Perhaps things would have been better if the optimal planners got their way, but it seems like the consensus is that their plans would have failed even if they were implemented. Below are some of the main problems that would have been encountered. Computational complexity. As described in a wonderful blog post by Cosma Shalizi, the number of calculations needed to solve a linear programming problem is: , where is the number of products, is the number of constraints, and is how much error you are willing to tolerate. Since the number of products, , was in the millions, and since the complexity was proportional to , it would have been practically impossible for the Soviets to compute a solution to their planning problem with sufficient detail (although see below). Any attempt to reduce the dimensionality would lead to the same perverse incentives and shortages that bedeviled earlier systems driven by hand calculations.

Any attempt to reduce the dimensionality would lead to the same perverse incentives and shortages that bedeviled earlier systems driven by hand calculations. Data quality. The optimal planners thought that optimal computer methods could find prices that more exactly approximated equilibrium than could be done in a market economy, where fallible human actors guessed at prices by trial and error. The reality, however, would have been the exact opposite. Individual actors in a market economy understand their local needs and constraints pretty well, whereas central planners have basically no idea what’s going on. For example, central planners don’t have good information on when a factory fails to receive a shipment and they don’t have an accurate sense for how much more efficient some devices are than others. Even worse, in order to obtain more resources, factory managers in the USSR routinely lied to the central planners about their production capabilities. The situation became so bad that, according to one of the deep state secrets of the USSR, central planners preferred to use the CIA’s analyses of certain Russian commodities rather than reports from local Party bosses! This is especially crazy if you consider that the CIA described its own data as being of “debilitatingly” poor quality.

This is especially crazy if you consider that the CIA described its own data as being of “debilitatingly” poor quality. Nonlinearities. The optimal planners assumed linearity, such that the cost for a factory producing its 1000th widget was assumed to be the same as the cost for producing its first widget. In the real world, this is obviously false, as there are increasing returns to scale. It’s possible to model increasing returns to scale, but it becomes harder to solve computationally.

Choosing what the society should value is really a political problem, and Cosma Shalizi does a very nice job describing why it would be so hard to come to agreement. Incentives for innovation. The central planners couldn’t determine resource allocation for products that didn’t exist yet, and more importantly neither they nor the factories had much incentive to invent new products. That’s why the Soviet Union remained so focused on the steel/coal/cement economy while Western nations shifted their focus to plastics and microelectronics.

That’s why the Soviet Union remained so focused on the steel/coal/cement economy while Western nations shifted their focus to plastics and microelectronics. Political resistance. As described in a previous example, the model-based recommendations to shut down certain factories were ignored for political reasons. It is likely that many recommendations for the broader economy would have been ignored as well. For example, if a computer recommended that the price of heating oil should be doubled in the winter, how many politicians would let that happen? Could this work in the future? Had the optimal planners’ ideas been adopted at the time, they would have failed. But what about the future? In a hundred years, could we have the technical capability to pull off a totally planned economy? I did some poking around the internet and found, somewhat to my surprise, that the answer is actually… maybe. It turns out that two of the most serious problems with central planning could have technological solutions that may seem far-fetched but are perhaps not impossible: Let’s start with computational complexity. As described above and in Cosma Shalizi’s post, the number of steps required to solve a linear programming problem with products and constraints is proportional to . The USSR had about 12 million types of goods. If you cross them over about 1000 possible locations, that gives you 12 billion variables, which according to Cosma would correspond to an optimization problem that would take a thousand years to solve on a modern desktop computer. However, if Moore’s Law holds up, it would be possible in 100 years to solve this problem reasonably quickly. It’s also worth pointing out that the economy’s input-output matrix is sparse, since not every product depends on every other product as input. It may be possible that someone might develop a faster algorithm that leverages this sparsity, although Cosma is somewhat skeptical that this could happen. [In an earlier version of this post, I discussed a sparsity-based proposal that supposedly brought things down to complexity. This was apparently a red herring that doesn’t actually solve the optimization problem.] As described earlier, the second serious issue with a centrally planned economy was data quality: Central planners’ knowledge about the input requirements and output capabilities of individual factories was simply not as good as the people actually working in the factory. While this was certainly the case in the Soviet Union, one can’t help but wonder about technological improvements in supply chain management. Imagine if every product had a GPS device to track its location, with other sensors and cameras to determine product quality. Already Amazon is moving in that direction for pretty much all consumer goods, and one could imagine a world where demand could be measured with the Internet of Things. Whether a government would be able to harness this data as competently as Amazon is doubtful, and it’s obviously worth asking whether we would ever want a government to be using that type of data. But from a technical point of view it’s interesting to think about how the data quality issues that destroyed the USSR could be much less serious in the future. All that being said, it’s still unclear to me how an objective function could be chosen in way that would democratically satisfy people, how innovation could be incentivized, or how political freedoms could be preserved. In terms of freedom, things were obviously not-so-hot in the Soviet Union. If you’d like to read more about this, you should definitely check out Red Plenty. It was one of the weirdest and most interesting books I have read. Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.

Flash storage springbok OCZ, which suddenly lurched into the intensive care ward and ditched its founding CEO, now has less of a spring in its step; it's received news of an SEC probe into the company. This is to do with OCZ's inability to file a required business report for its latest quarter - some background here - due to some customer incentive programmes which are hard to unravel. The SEC letter to OCZ mentioned other, unrevealed, matters as well. New CEO Ralph Schmitt said: "Since we delayed the filing of our second quarter 10-Q, we had proactively contacted the Commission and have been expecting them to conduct an investigation. We intend to cooperate fully regarding this non-public, fact-finding inquiry and are also continuing with our own internal investigation as previously announced." Trading in OCZ shares was briefly suspended when the news came out. Stifel Nicolaus' Aaron Rakers notes: The company has recently stated that it would likely need additional financing. ... it is working on raising cash via inventory liquidation ... OCZ has announced a 28 per cent global workforce reduction, excluding production personnel, which has been reduced by 32 per cent including outside contractors. The company reduced its production from three shifts for six days a week to two shifts per day for five days a week. ... notification from Nasdaq provides the company until mid-December to be up to date on its financial filings. With nearly two dozen ambulance chasing lawyers drumming up investor support for class action lawsuits against the company over share price falls when the CEO was ditched - trying to blame some improper actions by management - Schmitt has his work cut out to get OCZ back on an even keel and back to trading normally. ®

Obama’s War on Energy is about Control When one thinks of energy, the thoughts about economic growth rarely come into play. : In fact, most take it for granted. : It charges our iPhones, laptops, and Kindles, but it also is the lifeblood that keeps our economy growing. : It’s also the critical element that keeps our health services running. : It allows us to channel our resources elsewhere — to be more productive during the day. : However, we’re starting to see a shift occur through the policies of the Obama administration. : This radical reconfiguration of our energy infrastructure will be disastrous in the long run, and some in the media don’t seem to care. I had the pleasure of speaking with Thomas Pyle, President of American Energy Alliance, Robin Millican, Policy Director for Institute for Energy Research (IER), and Dan Kish, Senior Vice President for Policy at IER on October 26 to discuss this issue further — and how it’s currently shaping the outcome of the 2012 election. : I mentioned the study Professor Gabriel Calzada conducted on Spain’s green energy investments and how he predicted a bubble, which seems to be bursting on the Iberian Peninsula. : Most disconcerting was the fact that for every green job created — 2.2 jobs were lost as a result. : In fact, Professor Gabriel Calzada found himself targeted by liberals and the Center for American Progress, John Podesta’s bastion of progressivism, as a consequence of his study concerning Spain’s green energy economy. : Nevertheless, regardless of the outcome in Spain, President Obama plans to use it as a model and apply it here, which would enter a more aggressive phase if he were reelected on November 6. Furthermore, IER conducted: a study on the impact of green energy initiatives in Germany. : Here are the key points: Financial aid to Germany’s solar industry has now reached a level that far exceeds average wages, with: per worker subsidies as high as $240,000 US . . In 2008, the price mark-up attributable to the government’s support for “green” electricity was about: 2.2 cents US per kWh.: For perspective, a 2.2 cent per kWh increase here in the US would amount to an average: 19.4% increase in consumer’s electricity bills. For perspective, a 2.2 cent per kWh increase here in the US would amount to an average: Government support for solar energy between 2000 and 2010 is estimated to have a total net cost of: $73.2 billion US,: and: $28.1 billion US for wind. A similar expenditure in the US would amount to about: half a trillion dollars US. Trending: The 15 Best Conservative News Sites On The Internet Green jobs created by government actions: disappear : as soon as government support is terminated,: a lesson the German government and the green companies it supports: are beginning to learn. : a lesson the German government and the green companies it supports: are beginning to learn. Government aid for wind power is now three times the cost of conventional electricity. However, one area that is salient to American voters is coal. : Obama’s War on Coal has been brutal for thousands of families who live in states along the Appalachian Trail. : With new greenhouse gas regulations the EPA is doling out, it’ll prevent the creation of new plants and is scheduled to shut down 10% of existing coal plats that are operational today. Pyle warned that there will come a time when the economy will begin to grow again and the energy infrastructure that President Obama and the environmental left envision for America will not be adequate to meet the demands of commercial expansion. There’s no special switch we can turn to get our power back to appropriate levels for economic development. Furthermore, it doesn’t help our long-term energy development when government shuts down coal mining, offshore drilling, or puts the kibosh on the Keystone Pipeline. : As a result, the Gulf States, Alaska, Colorado, and Wyoming are suffering under Obama’s war on energy. While the Environmental Protection Agency has the reputation of being a ‘protector,’ they have recently become the heaviest portion of the boot that is on the throat of American enterprise. : One thing the United States can never compete in again is the labor market. : However, with the derivatives from oil/gas/and coal such as petrochemicals, smart phones, computers, Kevlar, shaving cream, toothpaste, and gum — we can still retain our economic vigor. : However, EPA regulations are making it harder to produce such products for American and international markets. Dan Kish, Senior Vice President of Policy for IER, noted how the air is cleaner and the water is better.: In fact: Since 1990, nationwide air quality has improved significantly for the six common air pollutants. These six pollutants are ground-level ozone, particle pollution (PM2.5 and PM10), lead, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). Nationally, air pollution was lower in 2008 than in 1990 for: 8-hour ozone, by 14 percent annual PM2.5 (since 2000), by 19 percent PM10 , by 31 percent Lead, by 78 percent NO2 , by 35 percent 8-hour CO, by 68 percent annual SO2 , by 59 percent Additionally, the EPA has affirmed this claim. : As a result,: life expectancy has increased dramatically — which is an effective metric at gauging the socioeconomic health of a nation. : Yet, the EPA feels that more needs to be done, despite that fact that states have their own safety and health provisions, which are tailored to accommodate the environments of each respective state. : However, given the dependency mentality of the Obama administration, the EPA insists on a one-size fits all model. : I guess the principles of federalism have taken a back seat. Concerning coal, we have 497 billion short tons, which is enough to power the country for over 500 years — at our current levels of energy use. : When you incorporate Alaska into the picture, it dwarfs the lower forty-eight, with 10.38 trillion short tons for our use. : As a result, the United States is the ‘Saudi Arabia’ of coal. : And not all coal is used to generate electricity. : Thirty-eight percent of coal can be used to make jet fuel. : Fifty percent of all freight loads carried in the country are comprised of coal. : In fact, 25% of all rail revenue is derived from coal transportation. : What happens if that were to disappear, which is what the Obama administration wants as the end game in this power play. We current use 1 billion tons of coal a year. : China uses 4 billion tons a year. : As a result, even if coal were to cease of an arm of the American economy, the effects on global CO2 emissions would be de minimis at best. : Kish noted how coal consumption has increased in Europe. : The reason is simple. : It’s cheap. : It works great, and is good for electricity. Pyle touched upon the moral aspect of energy, which is seldom reported on in the press. : He reiterated the fact how 40% of India’s population don’t have access to affordable energy. : Kish noted how villages in Africa keep their kids to school, although they would like to send them there, because every available hand is needed to collect biomass to keep the home warm, to cook, and possibly fend themselves from predators at night. : If those kids were able to go to school because they had affordable energy, and access to it, increased economic activity from their education would have a ripple effect upon their community.: Energy allows people to savor and spend their time more efficiently and purposefully. Until the Industrial Revolution, life expectancy had flat lined around age thirty for years, which saw a dramatic increase when people were able to utilize their time more efficiently due to proliferation of energy resources. An example of the economic benefits in expanding our energy development can be seen in North Dakota. : Dan Kish recently visited the state, of which 97% isn’t owned by the government, and noticed the economic boom that has occurred from extracting the shale oil from the Bakken formation. : Williston, North Dakota has the busiest McDonald’s in the country. : A entry-level worker could earn up to $90,000 in his first year alone working the rigs. : In fact, five to ten years ago North Dakota wasn’t even a player in oil production. : Now, it’s ranked #2 — behind Texas — producing 18 million barrels of oil in March of 2012. : In all, between 2008-09, it’s proved reserves have increased from 543 million barrels to 1046 million barrels. : Some farmers, who’ve sold their land rights, are earning as much as $150,000 a month from the royalties. : Although, the monetary values is based on volume, but it’s possible. As a result, North Dakota’s unemployment rate remains at 3%, the GDP per capita is well above the national average at $50,096, it’s spurred a budget surplus of $ 1 billion dollars, and increased the workforce from 5,000 in 2005 to 30,000 in 2012. : Here’s to prosperity. We have the resources to be energy independent. : Pyle mentioned that in 1944 it was estimated that America’s proven oil reserves amounted to about 20 billion barrels. : However, from 1945-2010, the United States production exceeded 176 billion barrels of oil. : That’s because proven reserves tend to increase in volume as we continue to explore for more energy resources. : Case in point, the Bakken Shale. : However, the boot of the EPA and government regulation seems to be aimed at halting this process. : It’s because government, especially the one we have now, is set on breaking the independent arms that are harvesting these resources to the will of the state. : It’s about centralization of energy distribution. It’s trickle down government incarnate. Last May, IER Policy Director Robin Millican spoke at an Americans for Prosperity rally in McLean, Va. There she said that the military has become victim to these government policies. : In her speech, she noted how: the Department of Defense signed a: $12 million dollar contract: with two biofuel companies: to produce 450,000 gallons of the advanced liquid. : In short, it’s incredibly expensive. : This ludicrous expenditure is: grounded in the words of: Navy Secretary Ray Mabus: who said: “We are doing this for one simple reason: It makes us better fighters…our use of fossil fuels is a very real threat to our national security and to the U.S. Navy ability to protect America and project power overseas.” : I’m sure the environmental left enjoys this change in course, but as Millican pointed out, the federal government has a portion of land in Alaska called the Naval Petroleum Reserve which is specifically set aside to meet the energy demands of the military.: : Yet, we are going to pay companies to make fuel for our armed forces that is: four times more expensive: than standard fuel. Additionally, Millican also delivered some remarks about the $500 million dollar loan allocated to Solyndra. : A company principally financed by George Kaiser, who was also: a huge bundler: for the Obama campaign in 2008. : In all, big government breed corruption, crony capitalism, and dependency. She aptly pointed out that these subsidies are not meant to better society, but are goodie bags to the politically connected. : She says, “look no further than a government funded program that relies on a stamp of approval from a group of unelected bureaucrats who have no technical experience.” The process in determining which system maximizes efficiency is not rigorous and comes down to nothing more than corporate welfare. : Continuing with the narrative of waste this administration has incurred due to its quest for clean energy initiatives, Millican detailed the Section 1603 program that has allocated $20 billion dollars in cash payments, not loans that need to be repaid, to companies that install solar, wind and geothermal properties. : Congress wants to extend this program for an additional year at the tune of $3 billion dollars. Relating to AFP’s media campaign, Millican discussed the $529 million dollar loan to Fisker, which produced the $100,000 dollar Karma automobile that is principally made in Finland. : Is this investing in America? Ms. Millican astutely pointed out that renewables only constitute 1.5% of our entire energy consumption, but get the majority share of the funds allocated from Congress. If Mitt Romney is elected President of the United States on November 6, it’ll be partially due to Americans’ disgust towards Obama’s war on energy — specifically coal. : The war on coal has affected thousands of families who live along the Appalachian Trail. : An aspect the Obama campaign should’ve taken more seriously since Virginia and Pennsylvania are both battleground and coal-producing states. : Currently, the small town of Grundy, Va is under siege by federal regulators who are preventing them from expanding their runway at the local airport because of coal. : It’s a three-year battle, which is really an assault on the American Dream. : The expansion of the airport would allow corporate jets to land, which could possibly spur economic development in Grundy and the surrounding counties. Debra McCown reported on Grundy’s war with federal regulators: back on October 17. I: wrote, in a previous post,: that since: “the original airport was built on a piece of land made flat by surface mining by: United Coal Co., which gave the land to Grundy,” the government won’t allow them to expand the runway. : It’s big government run amok. McCown also reported in The American Spectator: on October 22 “more than 5,500 people turned out Sunday afternoon at a mountaintop park in remote Buchanan County to show their support for coal.”: She noted how the mood of the crowd exuded a certain dubiousness since most of these workers have an uncertain future, especially if Obama is reelected. : McCown quoted Jerry Shortt, who said,: “the only promise Obama kept was to kill coal.” : “Jerry Shortt [is] a coal miner from Richlands who was laid off temporarily right after Labor Day — and learned Friday that for him, along with 189 other employees at the mine where he worked, the layoff would be permanent,” according to McCown. She also noted that the EPA regulations that will be the harbingers of death for the industry. First, new air emissions standards prompted utilities to announce the closure of dozens of coal-fired power plants, cutting the demand for coal and costing jobs. In some cases, utilities chose to convert those units to natural gas, which because of new technology for extraction has become relatively cheap and plentiful. Rules for coal-fired boilers have also affected factories and other facilities that use industrial boilers. Second, a new proposed EPA rule would require any new coal-fired power plants to be constructed with technology to control carbon dioxide emissions — technology that’s not been fully developed. With this proposal, even state-of-the-art coal burning technology, like that being used at the new power plant that just opened in nearby Wise County, couldn’t be permitted, utility officials have said. On the water pollution side, coalmines are now subject to new restrictions in obtaining the permits needed from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Targeted specifically at mountaintop mines in Appalachia, according to industry supporters, the change effectively prohibits modern surface mining and has also created significant problems for deep mining. With the state in a statistical dead heat, the policies from the Obama administration to gut this business, and leave the families of those involved with coal mining in destitution — might be a deciding factor in how Virginia might vote on November 6. The Washington Times’ Ben Wolfgang: reported on October 23: that Obama’s crusade to destroy coal has put Pennsylvania in play. : More than anything, if Romney wins PA on November 6, it’ll be a very short election night. : While West Virginia was never going Democratic, Democrats there have eviscerated the Obama administration: over recent coal miner layoffs. Energy giant: Consol: announced Tuesday that it will idle its surface mining operations in Mingo County after failing to secure necessary Clean Water Act permits from the: EPA. The Miller Creek surface mine facility has been in operation for decades, and the company had planned to construct the new “King Coal Highway” as part of a reclamation project after mining is complete. Coal mine employees,: Consol: said, would eventually have been assigned to the highway project, once the coal supplies had been exhausted. Democrats in the state, already angry with the administration’s “war on coal,” unloaded on the: EPA: on Tuesday afternoon. “I am incensed and infuriated that the: EPA: would intentionally delay the needed permit for a public-private project that would bring so many good jobs and valuable infrastructure to communities that so desperately need them,” West Virginia: Sen. Joe Manchin: said in a statement. For those affected, it’s called a “regional genocide.” : For government, it’s a shift towards a cleaner future, despite the data suggesting otherwise. : At the end of the day, it’s about government controlling more of the means of production through our energy consumption.

For the World War I and NATO military use of this facility, see Orly Air Base Paris Orly Airport (French: Aéroport de Paris-Orly), commonly referred to as Orly (IATA: ORY, ICAO: LFPO), is an international airport located partially in Orly and partially in Villeneuve-le-Roi, 7 NM (13 km; 8.1 mi) south[2] of Paris, France. It serves as a secondary hub for domestic and overseas territories flights of Air France and as the homebase for Transavia France. Flights operate to destinations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, North America and Southeast Asia. Prior to the construction of Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly was the main airport of Paris. Even with the shift of most international traffic to Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly remains the busiest French airport for domestic traffic and the second busiest French airport overall in passenger traffic, with 33,120,685 passengers in 2018.[3] The airport is operated by Groupe ADP under the brand Paris Aéroport. Since February 2018, the CEO of the airport has been Régis Lacote. Location [ edit ] Orly Airport covers 15.3 square kilometres (5.9 sq mi) of land. The airport area, including terminals and runways, spans over two départements and seven communes: Essonne département : communes of Paray-Vieille-Poste (West Terminal and half of South Terminal), Wissous, [4] Athis-Mons, [5] Chilly-Mazarin, [6] and Morangis; [7] : of Paray-Vieille-Poste (West Terminal and half of South Terminal), Wissous, Athis-Mons, Chilly-Mazarin, and Morangis; Val-de-Marne département: communes of Villeneuve-le-Roi[8] and Orly (half of South Terminal).[9] Management of the airport, however, is solely under the authority of Aéroports de Paris, which also manages Charles de Gaulle Airport, Le Bourget Airport, and several smaller airports in the suburbs of Paris. History [ edit ] First years [ edit ] Originally known as Villeneuve-Orly Airport, the facility was opened in the southern suburbs of Paris in 1932 as a secondary airport to Le Bourget. Before this two huge airship hangars had been built there by the engineer Eugène Freyssinet from 1923 on.[citation needed] World War II [ edit ] As a result of the Battle of France in 1940, Orly Airport was used by the occupying German Luftwaffe as a combat airfield, stationing various fighter and bomber units at the airport throughout the occupation.[10] As a result, Orly was repeatedly attacked by the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), destroying much of its infrastructure, and leaving its runways with numerous bomb craters to limit its usefulness to the Germans.[citation needed] After the Battle of Normandy and the retreat of German forces from the Paris area in August 1944, Orly was partially repaired by USAAF combat engineers and was used by Ninth Air Force as tactical airfield A-47. The 50th Fighter Group flew P-47 Thunderbolt fighter-bomber aircraft from the airport until September, then liaison squadrons used the airfield until October 1945.[11] The USAAF diagram from March 1947 shows the 6140-foot 27/207 (degrees magnetic) runway (later 03R) with 5170-foot 81/261 runway (later 08L) crossing it at its north end. The November 1953 Aeradio diagram shows four concrete runways, all 197 feet wide: 03L 7874 ft, 03R 6069 ft, 08L 5118 ft and 08R 6627 ft.[citation needed] The American United States Army Air Forces 1408th Army Air Force Base Unit was the primary operator at Orly Field until March 1947 when control was returned to the French Government. (The United States Air Force leased a small portion of the Airport to support Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) at Rocquencourt). The Americans left in 1967 as a result of France's withdrawal from NATO's integrated military command, and all non-French NATO forces were asked to leave France.[12] In May 1958 Pan Am Douglas DC-7Cs flew to Los Angeles in 21 hr 56 min; TWA, Air France and Pan Am flew nonstop to New York in 14 hrs 10-15 min. Air France flew to Tokyo in 31 hr 5 min via Anchorage or 44 hr 45 min on a seven-stop Lockheed Constellation (1049G model) via India. Air France's ten flights a day to London were almost all Vickers Viscounts; the only other London flight was Alitalia's daily Douglas DC-6B (BEA was at Le Bourget).[citation needed] A development project voted in 2012 planned to merge the airport's south and west terminals with the construction of an 80,000 m2 building to create one great terminal.[13] On 14 April 2016, the Groupe ADP rolled out the Connect 2020 corporate strategy and the commercial brand Paris Aéroport was applied to all Parisian airports, including the Orly airport.[14] Terminals [ edit ] Paris-Orly Airport features two separate passenger terminal buildings, Terminal Sud (South Terminal) and Terminal Ouest (West Terminal):[15] Terminal Sud (South Terminal) [ edit ] The innovative 1961 steel-and-glass southern terminal building consists of six floors. While the smaller basement level -1 as well as the upper levels 2, 3 and 4 contain only some service facilities, restaurants and office space, level 0 features the arrivals facilities as well as several shops and service counters. The airside area and departure gates are located on the upper level 1. The waiting area, which features several shops as well, houses gates A1-A10 and A40-A42 and is furthermore connected to the gate areas Hall A (gates A11-A27) and Hall B (gates B2-B20) to each side of the building.[15] 15 of the terminal's departure gates are equipped with jet-bridges, some of them are able to handle wide-body aircraft.[16] Terminal Ouest (West Terminal) [ edit ] The western terminal has a different layout than Terminal Sud, consisting of two floors and a gate area of four "fingers" rather than a brick-style layout. The ground level 0 features the arrivals facilities including 8 baggage reclaim belts as well as several service facilities and shops. The departures area is located on level 1 with more stores and restaurants located here. This central departures area is connected to four gate areas named halls 1-4 which contain departure gates 10A-10P, 20A-20L, 31A-31F and 40A-40G respectively.[15] 23 stands at this terminal are equipped with jet-bridges, with several of them also able to handle wide-body aircraft.[17] Junction building [ edit ] On 19 March 2019, a junction building between west and south terminals will open. Terminal Ouest will become terminals 1 and 2, the junction building will be used as terminal 3, and Terminal Sud will become terminal 4.[18] Airlines and destinations [ edit ] Other facilities [ edit ] AOM French Airlines had its head office in Orly Airport Building 363 in Paray-Vieille-Poste.[24][25][26] After AOM and Air Liberté merged in 2001,[27] the new airline, Air Lib, occupied building 363.[28] Ground transportation [ edit ] Terminal South Terminal South Interior of Terminal South Interior of Terminal West Train [ edit ] Car [ edit ] Orly Airport is connected to the A106 autoroute (spur route of the A6 autoroute).

The California State University faculty union will bring teaching to a halt at all 23 campuses in April — an unprecedented move for the 470,000-student university system — unless an agreement over salaries is reached before then, it announced Monday morning. The strike would be held for five days: April 13-15 and April 18-19. “We don’t want to strike, but we will,” said Jennifer Eagan, president of the California Faculty Association and a professor at CSU East Bay. “The faculty will not back down.” Citing the state’s economic recovery and the additional funding flowing to the massive university system, the union is demanding 5 percent raises for its members and an additional 1.2 percent for some faculty, a proposal that would cost nearly $102 million, according to CSU. The 5 percent raises alone would cost $82 million. The union argues CSU can afford it, and that it must make faculty pay a priority. The average salary of its members, including part-time employees, is about $46,000, the union reports. Faculty members tightened their belts during the Great Recession “in the hopes that when the good times came, we’d be able to negotiate a good contract,” Eagan said. “Then the good times came, and we’re still not able to negotiate a good contract.” The CSU administration — which has offered the union a 2-percent raise — has said it needs to balance faculty pay with other needs, including access to courses, facility upgrades, the hiring of new faculty and student-support services. The faculty union rejected the 2 percent raise and in October voted to authorize a strike. Before the union can legally strike, however, it must wait for a report from a neutral arbitrator, expected in mid- to late March. The April dates were announced this week, Eagan said, to help faculty prepare. Faculty at CSU East Bay and CSU Dominguez Hills, held a one-day strike in 2011, but have never held a strike across the system. “This is a historic strike, if it happens,” Eagan said.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Centre whether it has forgotten to take steps to increase the salary of judges of constitutional courts, whose emoluments are far less than bureaucrats after implementation of the 7th Central Pay Commission’s recommendations.During the hearing on a case relating to grant of washing allowance to apex court staff and officers, a bench of Justices J Chelameswar and S Abdul Nazir asked additional solicitor general P S Narasimha, “What about the salary of judges of the Supreme Court and high courts which was to be brought at par with 7th Pay Commission recommendations for central government employees?”The proposal to increase judges’s pay was accepted in principle by the Union government in March but has been pending further action. Salary of judges can be increased only through an amendment passed by Parliament.After implementation of the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations, the highest ranking bureaucrat, the cabinet secretary, gets a salary of Rs 2.5 lakh apart from allowances.Compared to this, the Chief Justice of India, who figures above the cabinet secretary in the table of precedence, draws a salary of Rs 1 lakh, excluding HRA, other allowances and perks. SC judges and chief justices of HCs get a salary of Rs 90,000 per month plus allowances. HC judges get a salary of Rs 80,000 per month along with allowances.Prior to amendment of salary and service conditions of SC and HC judges by Parliament in 2009, SC judges and HC CJs got a salary of Rs 30,000 per month and HC judges got Rs 26,000 a month, both excluding allowances and perks. The CJI got a salary of Rs 33,000 per month.TOI spoke to SC and HC judges, who said it was not entirely an issue of money but a question of self-respect. The hierarchy of SC and HC judges has been entrenched in tradition and set by constitutional mandate. To allow a situation where judges of constitutional courts continue to draw salaries far lower than bureaucrats would not be in keeping with the independence and prestige of the judiciary, they said.In March, the Centre had substantially accepted a proposal, framed by a three-judge panel of the SC, and agreed to increase the CJI’s monthly salary to Rs 2.8 lakh, excluding allowances, and that of SC judges to Rs 2.5 lakh, in view of the steep increase in salary of top bureaucrats.The government, as reported by TOI on March 26, had also contemplated increasing the salary of HC CJs to Rs 2.5 lakh a month and that of HC judges to Rs 2.25 lakh a month. The three-judge panel had proposed a salary of Rs 3 lakh a month for the CJI. After in principle acceptance of the proposed hike, the government had to move a bill in Parliament to amend the salary structure for judges.During the hearing on Tuesday, ASG Narasimha said he would take instruction from the government on this issue and get back to the court on November 14. Turning to the main issue in the case relating to grant of washing allowance to court staff and officers, the ASG said under the Constitution, the constitutional courts could not have initiated grant of washing allowance to its staff without consent from the President.Narasimha said Delhi HC had suo motu started giving washing allowance to its staff, which was legally impermissible.Following this, SC employees too filed a petition seeking parity with HC employees, he said. The ASG said the government had abolished as many as 158 types of allowances being paid in various offices and places and brought it down to six or seven allowances.

Dilaforette, as many Swedish Biotechs, started out from the Karolinska Institute and is now one of the portfolio companies of Karolinska Development (see the interview of the CIO here). The company is tackling Sickle Cell Disease with a small molecule drug (Sevuparin) and is currently undergoing a Phase II with Orphan drug designation. The interview is about this last development as well as the history of the company and how Herder perceives the Swedish Biotech ecosystem. Here’s a teaser: ‘the Swedish market is just too small, we have to go international‘.

((NOTE: This was fixed in patch 3.02. Critting off the bonus Q damage is no longer possible.)) For those that aren't familiar, Nasus Q has always been able to crit, however the crit only modified your BASE damage, and then your Q damage was added on top of it. However, I just confirmed that Nasus Q is now critting off ALL of your damage, including your base AD, base Q damage, AND bonus Q damage. It is not clear just now exactly when this change went through, as it was not in any patch notes, and we have no word from Riot on the matter yet. Previously when you would crit on a Nasus Q with a Tforce: (150 * 2) + 225 + 110 + 400 = 1035 (That is, 150 base AD * 2 = the crit + 225 from your tforce proc + 110 from Q base + 400 bonus Q damage) NOW WHEN YOU CRIT ON NASUS Q WITH A TFORCE: (150 * 2) + 225 + (110 * 2) + (400 * 2) = 1545 THE PROOF: See this screen shot posted by lavalampe on the EU bug report forums a week ago: http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=112429&d=1359283008 This shows 99 base damage, 110 base Q damage, and 144 Q bonus damage being added up to 353. 100% crit modifier means * 2 making it 353 * 2 = 706 Previously this crit would give you 452 damage because the crit would modify your base AD and then your Q damage would be added after the fact. You can also see it live in this video posted by TheNomiraven if you suspect the image is shopped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJw3hCPcOn8 Do the exact same as above... add up the base AD, base Q, and bonus Q. Multiply by all of it by 2. This was not in the patch notes, and I have no idea why/when the change slipped through, or if it is an intentional ghost change or a bug that is going to be reverted back. However, if it is not reverted this could have pretty massive implications for Nasus builds. You could literally be seeing Nasus critting for over 2k on Qs. It is hard to say the practical implication this actually has for Nasus, because trying to build crit going to be tough with the way he needs to itemize (tanky/CDR oriented), but you can bet your ass people are going to have some fun with this and look for ways to abuse. Edit: Please don't post in here arguing that you could always get 1k + crits on Nasus. I know that. I know the Q attack has always been able to crit. But it was your base damage critting + tforce effect + Q bonus added on after the fact. Yes it was a big number. But now EVERYTHING is criting and it is going to be MUCH BIGGER.

Abandoned more than 150 years ago, the tiny isle of Rona now only echoes to the siren songs of salt-winds and sea-birds. In this bleak place, the acclaimed Scottish poet Kathleen Jamie found not just abundant wildlife and beauty, but alarming signs of environmental crisis in the north Atlantic Sometime around 1680, the steward of St Kilda, a man called MacLeod, his wife and a "good crew" were sailing from that island home to Harris, when a great storm blew up. It drove them northwards for hours, north even of the Butt of Lewis, until at last it cast them ashore on the island of Rona. They managed to save themselves and their provisions, but their boat was destroyed. In the drama of their scrambling up the rocks - there are no beaches - no one came to help. Perhaps it was night, or perhaps they'd landed unseen on the island's north side. But it must have seemed strange, as they filed through fields towards a village, that they could smell no smoke. Rona was inhabited; it could support about 30 people and had done for centuries. There was a chapel, already ancient, and an oratory built by St Ronan himself, and a huddle of thatch-roofed houses dug into the ground. MacLeod's party must have called out a Gaelic greeting, louder and louder, but no one replied. Later MacLeod recounted how they had buried the bodies they found. There had been a calamity - a plague of rats had come ashore, "but none knows how", and devoured the people's crop. No supply boat had reached the island that year. "So those deceased persons ... died of want." More people have heard of, indeed visit, St Kilda, with its extravagant cliffs and its own affecting narratives of isolation and abandonment, but Rona is even further out in the Atlantic: 45 miles north of Lewis, on the same latitude as Orkney. The maps give every crag and inlet their Gaelic names, but no one is there to speak them now. There were attempts at resettlement. Tenant farmers carried on for another 150 years, but in 1844 the last family quit and went back to Lewis. With that, the island was finally abandoned. There is little to it; a mile and a half long, it has one 300ft hill, Toa Rona, which descends westwards to become a ridge, which in turn slopes down to the sea in rocky promontories. A flat peninsula runs out on the northern, wilder side. On the south-facing hill, though, the land is almost lush. There the ruined chapel remains, as does the forsaken village and the long-overgrown farmland. Rona's roll-call nowadays is limited to yachtsmen, lighthouse engineers and shepherds from Lewis who arrive perhaps once a year to round up the half-wild sheep. And naturalists: there is a tradition of parties of naturalists heading for Rona, for the seals and birds. Kittiwakes and guillemots breed on the cliffs; there are great black-backed gulls on every knoll. Aside from the lighthouse - a modern one, built to warn oil tankers - there is just one usable building: a bothy that houses some field biologists who come every autumn to study the island's grey seals. And there is the sea, and the sound of the sea, everywhere and always around. Our own island-going had been arranged by a man called Stuart Murray, who is well known among Scottish ornithologists. Murray was for several seasons warden at St Kilda; he has conducted important surveys of sea-bird populations, including one on Rona. To their aficionados, the far-flung Scottish islands sing siren songs of vast skies and salt-winds and sea-birds. They speak of occupation and relinquishment and an austere spirituality. But how to get there? Murray's ploy was simple. He chartered a motor yacht called the Poplar Voyager (he knows the skipper, Bob Theakston, from previous ventures), then set about offering places to 11 other people of his choosing: naturalists, ecologists, photographers, an archaeologist, an authority on early Christian monuments - all with our interests and obsessions and experiences. It is the kind of call you dream of, sitting at your desk in January, or stuck on a bypass. Wonderful to know it will come again, sunlight and surf, pink thrift and gulls' call. We sailed from Kinlochbervie on the mainland. The skipper warned it would be a bit rough, and when he put out of harbour and turned north-west, the sea was lumpy on the horizon. Six hours across dark blue sea, with waves breaking to white. When free of blowsy clouds, the sun was intense; it picked out the occasional gannet as a white dart. But the wind was freezing. To be out on deck as the boat rose and fell meant being wrapped in waterproofs, hats, gloves. Bonxies - great skuas - patrolled overhead, and parties of guillemots or puffins went whirring by just above the water. After an hour, with the cliffs of Cape Wrath fading behind, there was a moment of shouts and excitement: three killer whales had appeared, females, their black dorsal fins cutting quickly through the water, a swift vision of black and white just beneath the surface. Another hour, and only a few die-hards remained standing. By then I was lying flat on the rear deck, with one of my shipmates curled clinging to the rail, another leaning like a corpse against a chair. When, in mid-afternoon, the shout came that you could at last see Rona, my first sight of this far-flung jewel was while retching over the side. A couple of dozen grey seals, hauled out on low rocks, lifted their whiskered faces to watch as Bob slowed the engines and manoeuvred the Poplar Voyager carefully past them into a steep-sided inlet. The seals were sanguine enough, but guillemots stacked on the cliff-ledges above greeted us with gargled screams. The idea that remote islands are somehow "timeless" is a nonsense. Of course you want to slow down and fill your mind with space and sea, to examine every inlet and flower, but unless you want to be marooned, you always have to bargain with the weather. There are no safe anchorages on Rona, and Bob was concerned about the east wind. If it rose a couple of notches, as was forecast, we'd have to turn and leave again, simple as that. But we'd have the night at least, and probably the next morning, too. We went ashore in the tender, each choosing our moment to jump as it leapt in the swell, then clambered up slippery rocks on to the hillside. Just that small elevation, a hundred feet or so, gave an astonishing view: a green morsel of an island, already dipping back towards the sea, and the sea shifting away forever. The seal researchers' bothy stands proud on the island's south side, like a garden shed pretending to be a lighthouse. A vague path led uphill towards it. A bonxie flew alarmingly close overhead, big and brown, but it didn't attack. Always there was the sound of surf, beating on the rocks. There was a plan: after we'd pitched tents and had explored a while, we'd eat aboard the boat, then just as it was getting dark, we'd assemble in the derelict village. The day was long: it was almost 11 before the light drained from the sky. The village is encircled by fields that are still clearly defined on the ground. They're not square fields, but the old so-called "lazy-beds" - long, heaped-up mounds which alternate with drainage ditches. They rise and fall in waves, as though the land, being so close to the ocean, had assumed the same sea-swell. A narrow path winds through the lazy-beds to the abandoned village houses. Only when you're among the walls do you realise that's what they are: rough stone walls of dwellings, built half into the ground. As night fell, the breeze grew colder. Darkness pooled in the ditches and the roofless shells of houses. Though the sky was clouded, a pewtery light lingered on the sea. We were gathered in the ruins for a purpose: one of our party, John Love, had established himself in the lee of a wall and set out a few tools: minuscule pliers, a small ruler and a spring balance. As night came on, quietly we listened to the surf and to the seals crooning mournfully from their rocks. Far over the sea, a full moon was rising, brightening the bank of cloud that was waiting to receive it. A solemnity fell over everyone, as we waited for things to begin. Then, when it was quite dark, someone started chortling. Not a person, but a pixie. John and the other birders smiled and roused themselves. Again, and more: from gaps in the old walls came wonderful sounds of pixies and elves, burbling, chattering and riding little two-stroke scooters. The village walls, which we in our dull anthropocentric way call "poignant" and "silent", were alive with gleeful, tin-toy, chatterbox sounds; and then something flew quick and bat-like through the dark. This is one reason ornithologists come to Rona. Leach's petrels are rare birds that live out at sea, and which come ashore only to breed. They nest in burrows, usually on clifftops, and come and go by night. To catch and ring them requires a special licence, which Love holds. He had spent the early evening erecting two mist-nets (a bit like badminton nets) across gaps between walls. Now the birds were plopping in like shuttlecocks. It does them no harm. They didn't flutter, they just waited for deft hands to disentangle them. After it had been taken from the net, each bird was put in a cotton shoe-bag, and the bag carried to Love. We who'd never seen petrels before crowded for a look as he removed the first one. About the size of a thrush, but smoky dark, they have a tube nose like a fulmar's, and exquisite, tiny, black webbed feet. (The name petrel comes from Peter, who walked on water.) Love showed us the forked tail - the bird's full name is Leach's fork-tailed petrel - and demonstrated how best to hold the bird so it feels secure; you enfold it in your hand so its head sticks out between your middle and index finger. The fine feathers on the petrels' heads reminded me of the inside of puffballs: a rich, musty, dusty brown, but with a quick dark eye. Love measured the length of each bird's wing, then he took a minuscule ring and, with the pliers, closed the ring around the bird's leg. Each ring is numbered, and for a while my small task was to act as scribe, noting by torchlight the number of the ring as he read it out, and the weight and size of the bird to which it was being attached. Before the birds were released they were weighed. Then, if you catch an individual again in the future, you'll know how old it might be, how well it's faring, if there are fewer or more than there were 10, 20, 50 years ago. Many of the night's birds were "re-traps". Though small, they can live for more than 30 years. How to weigh a petrel? You slip it back into its cotton bag, then hang the bag from your spring balance, being mindful to deduct the two grams the bag weighs: 48, 47, 50 grams, a scant two ounces of feather and bone - yet petrels winter far out at sea, weathering the storms. Then they're released, with a casual throwaway gesture that gets them airborne and away, none the worse. By about 1am, after the chill hours lying queasily on the boat's deck, I was bitterly cold, and though the petrel party would go on till dawn, I was ready to retreat to my tent. Perhaps it was the effect of the cloud-obscured moon, but the island was gilded in a strange bronze light. It had been my birthday, and I'd been heaped with gifts: sea, and orcas, Leach's petrels and seals singing their loopy, consoling songs. As I climbed, fully clothed, into my sleeping bag, I noticed that my hands smelled. It was a funky smell, almost sexual, dusty and oily at once, the smell of petrels, like a mushroom made of whale breath and herring-scale. Were it not for that lingering smell, I might have thought the petrel business a dream. The morning sunshine was bright, and full of sea light. There, again, was the vastness of the sea. The wind was holding off, but clouds were building. We had breakfast on the boat, then went ashore again. I made my way across the hill and through the lazy-beds to the village and St Ronan's chapel, so to see them by daylight. The nets, of course, were gone. Love and the others had stayed till about 4am, and caught about 100 birds. Now the low walls, with their coats of turf and lichen and tufts of sheep's wool, were again inscrutable. The doorway to the chapel is so low you must creep through bent double. Within is a small rectangular nave. There is no roof now, only the dry-stone walls remain, but even with the sky above there is a feeling of age and sanctity. Great age: it's 1,200 years since St Ronan arrived in his boat. Leaning against the walls are some broken quernstones and a number of rough stone crosses, stained with bird droppings. Twin symbols of Rona life, you can sense toil in the quernstones, a residual paganism in the crosses. In the chapel's eastern wall, a further low doorway opens into the tall, corbelled chamber of the saint's oratory. The lintel is hewn from quartz; the whole structure feels Neolithic. Inside, but for a small square window, the sea and sky are quite abolished. It smells of earth. A visitor from the inconceivable future, I remained there for a short while, imagining what it was to sail the seas in a small boat until one found a faraway island, under a vast sky, where one could build a stone cell in which to pray. Could Ronan, at his most solitary and contemplative, have imagined these times to come? Easier to imagine the kingdom of heaven. Pixies on motor-scooters, saints in their open boats, shipwreck and quernstones; it was true, I suppose, what someone whispered last night, as we stood in the darkened village waiting for the petrels: "Oh, you can feel your imagination run riot!" Now, in the light of day, I wasn't sure. Imagination, certainly, but not "riot". I crept out from the chapel into the bright day, and spent a little time in the graveyard where more crosses are slowly sinking into the soft earth. To be born and live and die, all in the compass of this little island, always with the sound of the sea, far from anywhere else, what would that do to your imagination? Martin Martin, the 17th-century Gaelic travel writer from whom we glean so much, records one beguiling detail about the Rona people: "They took their surnames from the colours of the sky, rainbow and clouds." Not riot, because I think places like Rona offer very clear direction to the imagination. The ancient chapel, the village and the long-forsaken lazy-beds are truly poignant, truly evocative of a lost past. We can imagine that past as sweet, as though bathed in bronze light. As I crept around the houses, though, I wondered if such places aren't now offering us pictures of a possible future, too. A remote, changed future, when more once-inhabited places will be abandoned. We can see beginning already floods here, drought there. We may need such images as Rona provides to help us imagine the world to come, because beneath the surf and birds' calls you can hear the long withdrawing roar of human occupation. Inevitably, the chapel is in need of attention. The south-west corner is badly slewed out of true. The east wall was repaired last century, now the west needs work. The chapel, indeed the whole village, is a scheduled ancient monument. Ironic, in a way, that we've assumed a duty to preserve such places. It's illegal to tamper with them. It's illegal to cause change in these changed places, places that could offer us ways of thinking about change to come. "Change" is a word you hear all the time from the ornithologists. The petrel-ringing was fun, and faintly ludicrous, but that's how you know when things are in need of repair, when things are slewing out of true. Down on the shore I could see the tall figure of Sarah Wanless, an expert sea-bird ecologist, moving around over the rocks. There had been shags standing there, wings outstretched in their sepulchral way, and now she was looking for shag-pellets. Shags, like owls, bring up what they can't digest, and from their pellets ("like a mixture of earwax and phlegm") Wanless can tell the species and age of the fish they've been eating. It all adds to the picture, increasingly grim, of what's happening in the north Atlantic. Already the birders had made a quick assessment of the numbers of breeding birds on the cliffs, the numbers of eggs they could glimpse at the guillemots' feet, and they were fearful that this year will be another famine year. A collision of over-fishing and climate change has left no sand eels for the puffin and guillemot chicks to eat. Adults are failing to nest, puffin chicks are starving in their burrows. Like MacLeod of old, the naturalists are returning from the Atlantic islands with doleful news. By afternoon the clouds were a little darker, moving a little more quickly. The sea was taking on the grey colour of a fulmar's back. We would stay another night, though, so there was a chance to explore Rona's northern side, which is a different, harder place. There are cliffs and inlets. The waves surged in with a hollow boom, then retreated in confused turquoise swirls. Guillemots, their backs turned, held their ground on the ledges with nervous fidget and fuss, and I walked along the clifftops a short distance, trying to move carefully - the birders had dinged this into us - so that I didn't panic the birds. If they're frightened, they leave their ledges and fly in great banners out to sea. It's a wonderful spectacle, but in that instant, great black-backed gulls arrive to take the unguarded eggs. Wanless had shown me already a plundered guillemot's egg, broken on the turf. A lovely thing, bigger than you might imagine, deep turquoise with brown blotches. But once it's gone, it's gone, and the bird won't lay another this year. Then the land falls to sea level, and runs three-quarters of a mile northwards in a peninsula called Fianuis. The rest of Rona is plump and green, but this part is low and narrow. Winter waves can quite inundate it. This is where the seals come every year, a thousand of them, to pup and mate in a great squalor. I liked its ambivalence, its low broken rocks, so I picked my way to the end over grass and thrift and brackish puddles. At the end, where the land disintegrates, a handful of wild geese took to the air. I thought about the sea-birds, and the hard times we've dealt them, and village life and change. Rona, of course, is named for its saint, but later, seized by some inspiration, I asked Love, who speaks a little Gaelic, if he knew what "Fianuis" meant. An outflung peninsula on an abandoned island whose birds are in crisis and whose people are long gone, "Fianuis" means "testimony", or "witness". The following morning the wind was stronger, and the sea had turned restless and grey. We could see the Poplar Voyager rolling uncomfortably at anchor, just a little offshore. MacLeod's party had to wait seven months, a long Atlantic winter, before they could fashion a new boat of driftwood and wreck and sail home like revenants. Our skipper had other ideas. At about 9am he could wait no longer, so he blew the ship's horn many times, each blast breaking across the island like a storm wave. It was a signal we were expecting. Already we were packing up to leave. · Kathleen Jamie is the author of Findings (2005), published by Sort Of Books

Two types of visitors: Germany applies different standards to dictators and their victims By Ute Reissner 13 August 2015 Hundreds of refugees, many of them from the Middle East, have been camped out in the searing heat in front of the central reception centre in Berlin’s Moabit district. The conditions are horrific. Women and children are compelled to sleep in the open air. The miserable sanitary conditions are also a danger to the health of the asylum seekers, many of whom have completed long and grueling journeys. The sympathy from the city’s population has been considerable. Organisations supporting refugees have been flooded with donations, and concerned residents have provided water, fruit and blankets. By contrast, reports constantly claim that the authorities are “overwhelmed”. Mario Czaja (Christian Democratic Union, CDU), Berlin state senator responsible for social affairs, sought to make miserable excuses for the situation by declaring—while on holiday—that his colleagues were inundated. The Berlin Senate (state legislature) is now rushing to get the people off the street and cram them into temporary accommodations, so as to deport as many as possible in a short period of time. It is clear that this is a “problem”, a “burden” which they intend to get rid of at the lowest price and as quickly as possible. Whether or not government institutions are snowed under in such circumstances is entirely dependent on who comes to visit. Within close proximity to the refugee centre, foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier met his Saudi Arabian counterpart Adel al-Jubeir on Monday, doubtless in a comfortable, air conditioned, well lubricated environment. The spending of tens of thousands of euros on the meeting was of no consequence. Jubeir thus discovered, in contrast to the refugees, that Berlin was a “nice, large and cosmopolitan city”. The situation in the homeland of the honoured guest was described in a December 2014 report by the non-government organisation Bonn International Centre for Conversion: “The human rights situation in Saudi Arabia is bad, since fundamental human and civil rights are ignored. Women are treated as second class citizens, torture is widespread and the death penalty is often passed and carried out. Hard physical punishments (lashings, amputations) are methods frequently used by the regime. The feudal Saudi Arabian regime, which has guaranteed a high degree of internal stability by means of generous spending on the security sector on the one hand and repression on the other, confronts a serious crisis”. The generous aid Germany is rushing to provide the endangered and hated Saudi dictatorship stands in stark contrast to the alleged “overwhelming” of the state by a few thousand refugees. German firms have been equipping the Saudi regime extensively for decades with the most modern weaponry. As the previously cited report notes, German arms exports to Saudi Arabia reached a high point in 2012 of €1237.29 million. Three-quarters of the military supplies are made up of equipment used in civil war settings, such as “weaponry for securing borders”, “target recognition systems”, “targeting weapons” and “guided weapons systems”. When such lucrative and politically critical business dealings are involved, the red carpet is rolled out. At the beginning of June, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was welcomed in Berlin with full honours. The collaboration with blood-soaked dictatorships in the Middle East is one means by which the German government pursues its economic interests in the region and draws closer to its desired status of an imperialist great power. All of the establishment parties share this goal. “German firms can make an important contribution to the modernisation of infrastructure”, commented Social Democrat leader Sigmar Gabriel during a visit to Saudi Arabia in March. One month later, Bavarian state premier Horst Seehofer (Christian Social Union, CSU) followed him with a phalanx of industrialists. At issue were potential contracts worth billions of euros for arms manufacturers in Bavaria, where Boxer and Leopard tanks are produced. On the other hand, the people who arrive in European cities as refugees and asylum seekers are victims of the great power politics pursued by Germany and the other imperialist governments. The inhumane treatment to which they are subjected has absolutely nothing to do with the “overwhelming” of the authorities, but is rooted in politics. It shows the kind of treatment that the victims of the imperialist system can expect throughout the world. The tent cities and old army barracks being established as mass internment centres for refugees must serve as a warning. In a powerful country like Germany, people are once again being confined to camps and treated like dirt. Refugees are not the only ones threatened with this treatment, but everyone for whom the capitalist system has no place and offers no future.

Restructuring of the debt will provide a grace period of as long as six years and extend the maturity by 10 years, the Finance Ministry said in a report on its website. “$2.5 billion in principal and interest payment has been postponed for five years by commercial creditors under the first external debt restructuring scheme,” according to the report. The announcement comes after Ethiopia in January requested to rework its debt under the Group of 20 common framework — an initiative to secure debt relief for poor nations from all creditors, including China and commercial lenders. The plan to restructure at least $1 billion more doesn’t include Eurobonds, State Minister of Finance Eyob Tekalign said by phone on Wednesday. Also read: Ethiopia announce tender process to sell 40% of Ethio Telecom G-20 Request Separately, the International Monetary Fund on Tuesday urged Ethiopia to quickly create a creditor committee to support the nation’s debt plans. The IMF in February said it backed Ethiopia’s move to rework its debt under the G-20 program as it would strengthen debt sustainability, and boost the nation’s efforts of recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. With sovereign debt, Chinese loans and other official credit, Ethiopia is considered a key test for the G-20 push aimed at averting a slew of defaults in the developing world. “The IMF strongly encourages the swift formation of the creditor committee for Ethiopia to enable the timely delivery of the debt operation that Ethiopia is requesting” under the G-20 common framework, IMF spokesperson, Gerry Rice, said in an emailed statement. The committee will support Ethiopia’s plan to create fiscal space for development spending and lower the risk that comes with reprofiling debt-service obligations, according to the statement. Yields on Ethiopia’s $1 billion of 2024 securities climbed 30 basis points to 9.79% by 3:26 p.m. in London. That’s the biggest jump in seven weeks.

Hillary Clinton in New York in November. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews, File) If retweets were votes, Hillary Clinton would win a 2016 Twitter election in a blowout. Clinton has only tweeted three times in the past four weeks, but those three tweets racked up more retweets than any other possible 2016 candidate by a margin of tens of thousands. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ken.) is her nearest competition, but he tweeted nearly 200 times, and he was still more than 16,000 retweets behind her. There are a few things from Twitter that mirror what is going on in real life, namely that Clinton is an early front-runner who's laying low, Chris Christie is preoccupied with things going on at home, and Rand Paul is a troll. Here's how many tweets the politicians have sent out in that time frame: Paul and Christie tweet the most. Paul's feed is filled with tweets asking followers to "RT if they agree" and social media "burns" against other politicians. Christie's feed the past few weeks is mostly him talking about problems in New Jersey, but weather and not investigations and pensions. His most retweeted tweet is one declaring a state of emergency on Jan. 26 before a blizzard. Here's the number of retweets each politician received: It's Clinton, Paul, and then Ted Cruz in third. Cruz tweets about stopping Obamacare, Obama's immigration plan, and Obama's attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch. There's definitely a few common themes. He's also a fan of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), whom he retweets. Cruz's top tweet was about Abbott declaring Feb. 2 "Chris Kyle Day" in honor of the man whose memoir "American Sniper" is based off. Scott Walker is in fourth. He tweets a lot about normal, everyday life, like pictures of his lunch and a photo of when he was a Boy Scout. It is, as our Nia-Malika Henderson noted, brilliantly boring, but apparently more interesting than what's being put out by Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. Bush's Twitter account doesn't received much attention, and he seems to prefer other social media sites like Facebook and Instagram. Interestingly, his top two tweets in the past four weeks are both about former Republicans who ran for president, although neither is related to him. His tweet thanking Mitt Romney for his service was retweeted 471 times, and one commemorating Ronald Reagan was retweeted 362 times. When you average the number of tweets with number of retweets, it's apparent how efficient Clinton's Twitter dominance is. For every tweet, she was retweeted an average of more than 14,000 times. Cruz follows with 260, and Rubio is last among the group with 61. Here are those averages: Since Clinton isn't officially running yet, she's able to drop in on the national conversation on her timetable. Her tweet during the vaccine debate earlier this month was well phrased and well timed, and it was retweeted more than 41,000 times. It's an advantage she won't have once she officially declares her candidacy.

Stingray Documents Show Law Enforcement Using 'Terrorism' To Obtain Equipment To Fight Regular Crime from the because-WMDs-but-here's-a-low-level-drug-dealer-we-busted dept Scott Ainslie at MuckRock has pried loose a few more Stingray documents with a FOIA request. What was requested were contractual documents, which seem to be something law enforcement agencies feel more comfortable with releasing. Anything pertaining to the actual use of Stingray devices still remains heavily shrouded, thanks in no small part to the intercession of the federal government. Still, there is some useful information to be gleaned from the responsive documents, not the least of which is the fact that the DHS will happily fund local law enforcement's surveillance technology if they cross themselves and say the word "terrorism" three time during the requisition process. The entire purchase is itemized on the request form under "Homeland Security." Specifics are redacted, not only on the purchase order, but also the letter from the governor's office signing off on the acquisition. But a few details manage to escape the black marker. The letter from the governor's office notes that this is no normal purchase. The Illinois State Police has issued a request for a Procurement Code exception in order to covertly purchase [redacted] from Harris Corporation for conducting covert investigations. This exception is requested so that the Illinois State Police may purchase components directly from the vendor and decrease the possibility of sensitive information being disseminated inappropriately. A. Publicity. Neither party will, without the prior written consent of the other party: (a) make any news release, public announcement, denial or confirmation of this Agreement or its subject matter, or (b) in any manner advertise or publish the fact of their Agreement. "The Harris (REDACTED) equipment is proprietary and used for surveillance missions," the agreement reads. "Its capabilities can only be discussed with sworn law enforcement officers, the military or federal government. This equipment's capabilities are not for public knowledge and are protected under non-disclosure agreements as well as Title 18 USC 2512." Release of the information requested would endanger the life or physical safety of law enforcement personnel. Police officers, as well as the valuable and dedicated support personnel who work with them, face unknown and unpredictable dangers every day. Recent and unpredictable attacks on police officers and other criminal justice employees and their families point to an alarming trend in violence targeted directly at those persons simply because they represent law and order. Examples of violence toward law enforcement, criminal justice personnel and their families include: the shootout with a suspect in California armed with an AK47 on September 11, 2011; The murder of Maywood Police Officer Tom Wood as he had finished his shift in October 2006; Violence has not only been directed toward police officers. Damon Daniels was killed November 13, 2004 during a home-invasion robbery at the home he shared with his mother, Gery Gilbert, a secretary for the Oakland, California Police Department. In Texas, Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland, his wife Cynthia, and Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse were murdered by former Justice of the Peace Eric Williams in purported retaliation for prosecution of Williams for theft, which resulted in Williams losing his position as Justice of the Peace. Additionally, in April 2013, two members of a white supremacist prison gang were arrested for the murder of Colorado Department of Corrections head Tom Clements. Finally, consider the murder of the husband and mother of Judge Joan Lefkow. The suspect in that case, Bart Ross, was upset with Judge Lefkow because of an adverse ruling in a medical malpractice case. These are just a few incidents of violence directed at police officers, criminal justice system employees and their families. And this bit of sloppy redaction allows part of what must be a very ominous sentence to be revealed:If you can't make it out, the last three words of the redaction are "weapons of mass destruction." The letter also confirms that the purchase is funded by a DHS grant.As is the case when agencies reluctantly provide responsive documents, many of the documents look like they were scanned in by a poorly-trained monkey with an inner ear disorder, while others are apparently scans of tenth-generation copies made by the ancient copier kept around past the point of usefulnessfor responding to FOIA requests. This helps keep much of the text from being searchable, and in some cases early on, evenOther points of interest include wording in the Harris contract. As has been pointed out before, Harris ties law enforcement up with non-disclosure agreements that (supposedly) prevent them from ever revealing information like this or, indeed, seeking warrants before using the equipment. Things may have changed since 2008 (when this requisition was completed), but the wording here doesn't seem to be nearly as extreme as the interpretation provided by law enforcement agencies.This contractual language seems rather minimal as compared to what has surfaced more recently.Apparently, Harris felt added restrictions were necessary to keep the public from learning about the technology public servants were deploying against them.This Stingray was obtained in the fall of 2008, and it appears to be the only one the Illinois State Police own. But there are documents from 2006 and 2007 showing warranty replacements and repairs to existing Harris equipment, but most likely not a cell tower spoofer.Then there's this remarkable paragraph that's included in the letter justifying redactions , which is a masterwork of unchecked fear:There's no real trend here. Law enforcement is safer than it's been in 50 years. The only thing "alarming" is that the state police are using a highly-subjective fear to make supposedly "objective" redactions -- ones that weigh the public interest rather than just a handful of unrelated events scattered over a decade.The most notable aspect of the documents is what it confirms: that law enforcement agencies are leveraging terrorism fears to acquire pervasive surveillance technology (that was initially developed for use in war zones ) -- and that the DHS is more than happy to oblige them by funding the purchases. This intertwining of law enforcement and national security explains the federal government's intercession in Freedom of Information denials.[Postscript: bonus points for anyone who can figure out why a regular DUI bust police report was included in the responsive documents (embedded below).] Filed Under: crime, dhs, law enforcement, stingray, terrorism

Tweet In my most recent column for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, I continue my discussion of occupational-licensing legislation. I would abolish all such licensing. Here’s a chunk: But what about more “significant” professions, such as doctors and lawyers? The case for licensing these professions is no stronger than is the case for licensing florists and hair braiders. The reasons are many. Here are just two. First, precisely because medical care and legal counsel are especially important services, it’s especially important that competition to supply these services be as intense as possible. If the price of flowers is unnecessarily high or the quality poor, that’s unfortunate but hardly tragic. Not so for the prices and quality of the services of doctors and lawyers. Too high a price for medical visits will cause too many people to resort to self-diagnosis and self-medication. Too high a price for legal services will cause too many people to write their own wills or negotiate their own divorce settlements. Getting matters wrong on these fronts can be quite serious. Won’t, though, the absence of licensing allow large numbers of unqualified doctors and lawyers to practice? No. People are not generally stupid when spending their own money on themselves and their loved ones. Without government licensing, people will demand — and other people will supply — information on different physicians and attorneys. Websites and smartphone apps will be created that, for a small fee, collect and distribute unbiased information on doctors and lawyers. People in need of medical care or legal advice will be free to consult this information and to use it as they, rather than some distant bureaucrat, choose. And competition among physicians and lawyers — made more intense by the absence of government licensing — will drive these professionals to offer high-quality services at affordable prices. The same open competition that leads supermarkets, restaurants, dry cleaners and department stores to constantly improve their offerings and lower their prices will do the same for all those occupations that are now licensed by government.

The substance, along with a number of rounded stones and walls, was discovered by archaeologists while excavating the King’s Seat hillfort in Dunkeld. And now experts say this could be evidence the area was a seat for elite ruling during the early medieval period. During the digging work earlier this year, Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust and Dunkeld and Birnam Historical Society were joined by volunteers and school pupils to explore the trenches and find out more about the site. Among the exciting finds included metalworking waste, crucible fragments and stone moulds, which the trust says indicates precious metalworking took place on the site. Gavin Lindsay, an outreach officer with the heritage trust, said: “One of the reasons we’re so excited about these moulds is that their shape is characteristic of metalworking in the early historic or Pictish period (600-900AD). “So, while we wait for the radio carbon dates to come back from the lab, finds like these can help us work out when the activity at King’s Seat was taking place.” A number of small rounded stones were also discovered near the summit, which were probably collected and used with slingshots, and a number of walls and large stone boulders suggest the site had many different phases of historical activity. The upper area of the site was found clear of soil with “interesting” features cut into the rock, which one expert says could indicate the site was a ruling seat of power during Pictish times. Cath MacIver, from AOC Archaeology, explained: “Comparisons can be drawn between the hole drilled into the rock on King’s Seat and St Fillan’s Chair on Dundurn near Loch Earn, where a wide ledge was sculpted from an outcrop to form a sort of rock seat. “The lead archaeologist working on Dundurn theorised that this ‘seat’ could have been an inauguration seat for the rulers of Strathearn. The features at King’s Seat could have served a similar purpose.” Andy Heald, also from AOC Archaeology, said: “Considered together, the material culture recovered from King’s Seat is hugely important and clearly indicates in situ activity on the site. “While it seems obvious to the modern archaeologist that some sort of elite would have controlled, if not occupied hillfort sites, it is still rare for such sites to produce such a wealth of evidence.” He continued: “The fact that evidence for metal working was identified in every trench certainly suggests that the site was hugely important for the production of prestige metalwork and, similarly to important high status early hillforts such as Dunadd [in Argyll] and Dundurn, may have been a centre of production. “Dundurn. Dunadd and King’s Seat all share similar characteristics including topographic location, working and utilisation of exposed bedrock outcrops.” Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust is planning to return to the hillfort in 2018 with guided walks planned, and are looking for more volunteers to join their excavation projects.

DETROIT (AP) — Many tractor-trailers on the nation's roads are driven faster than the 75 mph their tires are designed to handle, a practice that has been linked to wrecks and blowouts but has largely escaped the attention of highway officials. Nearly all truck tires have been built for a maximum sustained speed of 75 mph since the middle of last decade, when drivers across the vast majority of the U.S. were allowed to go no faster than 65 or 70 mph. But 14 states, mainly west of the Mississippi River, now have speed limits of 75, 80, even 85 mph in part of Texas. Some of those states acted without consulting the tire industry. Safety advocates and tire experts say that habitually driving faster than a tire's rated speed can generate excessive heat that damages the rubber, with potentially catastrophic results. "It's a recipe for disaster," said James Perham, president of Extreme Transportation Corp., an automobile-hauling company near San Diego that filed a complaint with regulators about Michelin tires after seven blowouts caused an estimated $20,000 to $30,000 in damage to its rigs. The disconnect between highway speed limits and safety standards was discovered by The Associated Press in a government document that detailed an investigation into truck tire failures. Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration closed the investigation into blowouts involving certain Michelin tires after determining that truck operators, not the tires, were at fault. An investigator wrote that exceeding the 75 mph rating was the most likely cause in all 16 complaints examined. The blowouts resulted in three crashes but no injuries. State officials and the tire and trucking industries point the finger at each other for causing the problem. Highway officials in three states that allow trucks to go 80 mph or more either disregarded tire safety ratings, wouldn't answer questions about them or told the AP they were unaware of them. From 2009 through 2013, there were just over 14,000 fatal crashes in the U.S. involving heavy trucks and buses, killing almost 16,000 people, according to NHTSA. Tires were a factor in 198 of those crashes and 223 deaths. (AP) This March 18, 2015 photo shows the load index, 146/143, and speed rating, L, on a... Full Image Forty people died in truck tire-related crashes in 2009, and that rose to 52 in 2013, the latest year for which statistics are available. It's hard to pinpoint the cause of most blowouts. Road debris can be a factor. Underinflation, heavy loads and high speeds can also damage tires over time. States set their own speed limits, having been given sole authority to do so by Congress in the mid-1990s, while the federal government, through NHTSA, has authority to raise tire standards. For now, NHTSA contends the most effective way to attack the problem is a regulation to require devices that would prevent trucks from going over 75 mph. But the proposed measure has been stalled for years in a morass of cost analyses and government reviews. Another possible solution would be for manufacturers to make tires that can handle higher speeds. Some companies already produce a small number safety-rated at 81 mph that cost about the same as those built for 75 mph. (AP) In this Nov. 28, 2006 file photo, a truck driver walks to his truck at a... Full Image But manufacturers are hesitant to make more, fearing sales won't be big enough to justify the cost of redesigning and retooling, said Dan Zielinski, spokesman for the Rubber Manufacturers Association. He said many trucking companies would not be interested in higher-rated tires because they already equip their 18-wheelers with speed governors that prevent them from going over 75 mph. Michelin sells more truck tires than any other manufacturer, followed by Bridgestone, Goodyear, Yokohama and Firestone, according to Modern Tire Dealer magazine. The problem does not extend to ordinary car tires. Ever since Firestone tires started failing on Ford Explorers in the 1990s, the government has required car and light truck tires to be designed for well above highway speed limits. Even the most basic car tires can safely go up to 112 mph. The American Trucking Associations, an industry group, says it opposes speed limits over 65 mph, and it has petitioned the government to require speed-limiting devices on trucks. (AP) This Sept. 6, 2012 file photo shows part of a 41-mile stretch of Highway 130... Full Image ATA spokesman Sean McNally provided a 2007 survey done by the group showing that 69 percent of trucking companies already had such devices on at least some of their rigs, with an average limit of 69 mph. Still, it took federal regulators five years to propose a regulation, and it is still being reviewed by government agencies. It could take months, if not years, to go into effect. For now, truck drivers keep driving at high speeds — legally and illegally. NHTSA began investigating the Michelin tires last October after getting complaints about tire failures, mainly from auto-hauling companies. In one case, a truck going more than the 75 mph speed limit on Interstate 10 in Deming, New Mexico, blew a tire and rolled onto its side. Of the states that now let trucks travel 75 mph or more, three allow 80 or higher — Texas, Utah and Wyoming. South Dakota is about to raise its truck speed limit to 80, and three more states — Missouri, Nevada and Washington — may go to 75 or higher. (AP) This March 18, 2015 photo shows the load index, 140/137, and speed rating, M, on a... Full Image In Utah, the Transportation Department said it didn't know about the truck tire speed ratings until told by a reporter. In Texas, a spokeswoman refused to answer repeated questions about whether the state knew about the tire standards before raising speed limits. The sponsor of the law that allowed the Transportation Department to set an 85 mph limit along a new toll road was also unaware of the tire limitations. "We don't have any knowledge of this," said Chris Steinbach, chief of staff for then-Rep. Lois Kolkhorst, now a state senator. In Wyoming, which raised speeds on some rural highways to 80 mph last July, "it doesn't look like necessarily there was any consideration of truck tire speed ratings," said Bruce Burrows, a spokesman for the state Transportation Department. Wyoming hasn't seen a spike in tire failures, he said. Burrows also noted that the speed limit doesn't require truckers to go 80 mph, and said they should be aware of how fast their equipment can safely travel — a common refrain among state officials. Tire and trucking industry groups blame the states for allowing unsafe speeds, though they say drivers should be aware of tire limitations. (AP) In this May 21, 2009 file photo, big rigs stack up at the Flying J Truck Stop... Full Image Along Texas Highway 130, which has an 85 mph speed limit for big rigs, driver David Ortiz said he didn't know about the 75 mph rating for most truck tires, or how fast his tires were designed to go. He said his company has limited the top speed of his truck to 65 mph, and he normally goes 63. But Ortiz conceded that a speed limit higher than the tires can handle is a safety problem for truckers who drive faster. "Somebody needs to think about it," he said. Although many truck operators maintain their vehicles well, NHTSA found a number with problems. As part of the Michelin investigation, the agency tested trucks and surveyed over a dozen drivers in Pennsylvania, finding that more than half had overburdened tires because of heavy loads or low air pressure. Sixty percent of drivers didn't know the proper inflation pressure for the trucks they were driving. To make sure drivers know their tires' limits, NHTSA is considering a requirement that maximum speeds be listed on the sidewalls of all truck tires. Truck tires are generally reliable and are responsible for a relatively low number of accidents, said the rubber association's Zielinski. But he added: "An 18-wheeler is not a Porsche, and shouldn't be driven like one."

(Rodrigo Reyes Marin/Pool Photo via AP, File) Read Less by: MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press Posted: Aug 24, 2022 / 04:57 AM CDT Updated: Aug 24, 2022 / 08:20 AM CDT SHARE TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Wednesday instructed his government to consider developing safer, smaller nuclear reactors, signaling a renewed emphasis on nuclear energy years after many of the country’s plants were shut down. Kishida made the comment at a “green transformation” conference on bolstering the country’s efforts to curb emissions of greenhouse gases. Japan has pledged to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Anti-nuclear sentiment and safety concerns rose sharply in Japan after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear plant disaster, but the government has been pushing for a return to nuclear energy amid worries of power shortages following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a global push to reduce greenhouse gases. The government, however, previously insisted it was not considering building new plants or replacing aged reactors, apparently to avoid stoking criticism from a wary public. Kishida’s comment on Wednesday represents a sharp change from that stance. He said the panel presented proposals for the development and construction of “new innovative reactors designed with new safety mechanisms.” He called on the government to speed up its examination of “every possible measure” and reach a decision by the end of the year. “In order to overcome our imminent crisis of a power supply crunch, we must take our utmost steps to mobilize all possible policies in the coming years and prepare for any emergency,” Kishida said. “It is extremely important to secure all options to redesign a stable energy supply for our country,” Economy and Industry Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura told reporters. “From that perspective, we will also consider all options regarding nuclear power.” Most of Japan’s nuclear power plants were taken off line following the Fukushima accident for safety checks under tightened standards. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami destroyed key cooling functions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in March 2011, causing three reactors to melt and contaminating the region with massive radiation that still keeps some areas uninhabitable. Japanese utilities have since set more than 20 reactors for decommissioning, largely because of the high cost of safety measures. Of the 33 workable reactors, 25 have been screened for safety checks by the Nuclear Safety Authority. Seventeen have been approved so far, but only 10 have restarted after gaining consent from local communities, including three currently off line for regular safety inspections. The government has already announced plans to speed up restarts and have up to nine reactors restarted by winter to cope with the energy crunch. It aims to restart seven other reactors after next summer and to further prolong the operational life of aging reactors to beyond 60 years from the initial 40 years. Some energy experts say so-called next-generation reactors, such as small modular reactors, could be costly and add a financial burden to plant operators. Toyoshi Fuketa, commissioner of Japan’s nuclear watchdog, the Nuclear Safety Authority, told reporters on Wednesday that his agency’s safety standards are not affected by the government’s nuclear energy policy. Japan does not yet have safety standards for next-generation reactors and it would take more than a year to set such guidelines, while the safety of aging reactors needs to be carefully examined individually, he said. Critics say the true cost of nuclear energy would be much higher if the expense of radioactive waste management and final storage facilities are included, and that there are long-term environmental hazards of another Fukushima-like accident. They also say Russia’s attacks on a nuclear plant in Ukraine show they are a potential security risk and need to be better protected. Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, has come under fire over lax safeguards at another plant, Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, where it is seeking to restart two reactors.

This camp was closer to the summit of Viento as the crow flies than a camp at El Arenal would be, but wasn’t really the best place to climb it from as it meant we had to cross over a number of valleys before finally being able to head up to the summit crater. It therefore took us 2h45 to climb, despite the summit being only 500m vertically above our camp. The summit is on the eastern side of the crater, and it was suitably windy for the last 50m. This was the steepest part of the climb, and we had to go on all-fours for a bit when the big gusts hit. At the top there is a cairn with testimonios underneath (though not many as it is only infrequently climbed), and good views of Cazadero/Walter Penck and Nacimiento which are the closest two big mountains. We took a better route on the descent, staying high to avoid the valleys, though it still took 1h45 to make it back to camp.

CLOSE Check out the highlights from Week 3 of the Amway Coaches Poll. There was widespread agreement coming out of the weekend that Ohio State is a top College Football Playoff contender. (Photo11: Kevin Jairaj, USA TODAY Sports) The greatest debate in this week’s USA TODAY Sports’ 1-128 ranking of the Football Bowl Subdivision: Which team deserves to be No. 1? There are three strong contenders. The first is Alabama, the reigning top seed from last week’s rankings, which snapped its two-game losing streak against Mississippi with a road win. The second is Ohio State, which answered any questions about its youth and inexperience with a dominant victory at Oklahoma. And then there’s the newcomer, Louisville, which announced its presence in the championship race by ripping through Florida State. In the re-rank, at least, Ohio State gets the nod. The Buckeyes sit at No. 1 after yet another superb showing, this time in one of the most unfriendly environments in college football. But it’s close: Alabama is wholly deserving of staying on top, and Louisville has a case of its own. As an aside, the re-rank does not include teams from the Football Championship Subdivision, so there’s no North Dakota State on the list. But what if the Bison were eligible? I’d slot them in at No. 24. NDSU did beat Iowa on the road, but remember that the FCS powerhouse needed overtime to beat Charleston Southern and Eastern Washington. New to the top 25: Nebraska, Oklahoma State, South Florida, Miami (Fla.), LSU and TCU. Out of the top 25: Texas, Oregon, Ole Miss, Iowa, Notre Dame and Oklahoma.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - MAY 19: Gorilla baby Mjukuu, who was born in 2014, is seen with his mother Mbeli as another yet to be named baby is seen on display at Taronga Zoo on May 19, 2015 in Sydney, Australia. The newest baby gorilla was born to Western-lowland Gorilla Frala and Silverback, Kibali and at this stage the sex is yet to be determined. (Photo by Mark Kolbe/Getty Images) style="float: left; margin:10px"My blogs are normally about dogs. As an animal lover, however, I am so angered and saddened by a recent incident at the Cincinnati Zoo that I can't help but speak out. Piecing together various accounts, here's what happened: A 4-year-old boy crawled through a barrier and fell into a gorilla enclosure. Zookeepers quickly moved the 2 female gorillas into another area, but the 17-year old male gorilla was still inside. An eyewitness reported that the gorilla "rushed toward the boy and led him by the arm through the water in the enclosure," and that he, "seemed protective and only alarmed by all the screaming." The boy was in the enclosure for 10 minutes with no injuries. The zoo president says, "while Harambe didn't attack the child, the animal's size and strength posed a great danger." The zoo's Dangerous Animal Response team felt a tranquilizer would have taken too long to take effect and so, with the boy between the gorilla's legs, they shot Harambe dead. The boy was taken to a hospital where he was determined to have sustained non-life-threatening but serious injuries. How did this happen in the first place? To reach the gorillas, the boy had to go under the safety rail, crawl through wires, and climb over the moat wall. According to one eyewitness, the boy's mother was "tending to several other children" when he slipped away. Unfortunately, this is far from the first time this type of thing has happened. In 2014, a 3-year-old boy at the Little Rock Zoo "fell into" the big cat exhibit after his grandfather put him up on the railing to see the cats. A zookeeper reported seeing a yellow jaguar with its jaws around the neck of the boy. In this case, the staff used a fire extinguisher to drive the cat back, lower a ladder, and rescue the boy. The boy was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Need more? Last year at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, a 2-year old boy fell into a cheetah exhibit. The boy's mother was "holding him and another child" over the railing when he fell in. Fortunately, they were able to get the boy out and the cheetah seemed more curious than anything. There have been many similar incidents at zoos over the years. I'm not a parent (unless you count my fur-kids), and I'm sure it's difficult to keep an eye on your child 24/7. But in each of these cases, had a parent been supervising, not to mention not doing anything incredibly stupid like standing the child up on a railing or other precarious spot, these incidents would never have occurred. I spend time photographing zoo animals, and almost every time I visit I see exactly this kind of insanity. Regardless of how you feel about whether zoos should exist, they do, and a large part of their income comes from families with children. Instead of blaming parents or zookeepers, what about coming up with a solution? Here's mine, and it has two parts: First, any family with a child that is seen up on a railing or other precarious area must be escorted out of the zoo immediately. Highly visible signage around the zoo should warn them this will happen. Second, there are harness/leash combinations that are specifically designed for children. Children of a certain age and below should be required to wear one while on zoo grounds. This would prevent this sort of tragedy from ever happening again. It would also prevent children from running into other visitors (something I have experienced quite often) and from getting lost. The death of Harambe, a western lowland gorilla -- a critically endangered species -- could have easily been prevented. So could many other similar incidents. Let's learn from this heartbreaking tragedy and change things so it can't happen again.

Probability is everywhere. But what is it exactly? – TOM ROCKS MATHS TOM ROCKS MATHS Maths, but not as you know it… Menu Skip to content Watch Read Listen Play Numberphile BBC Teddy Rocks Maths Oxford Cambridge Interns Partners Press Awards Events Profiles Music Tattoos About Contact Shop Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube March 7, 2022 March 15, 2022 tomrocksmaths Probability is everywhere. But what is it exactly? Vlad Bercovici You may have seen the most recent match-day graphics for the Premier League and noticed a quirky new thing “powered by Oracle” describing the win probability of each team. Maybe you wanted to place a bet on the latest US Open match and checked the odds of each player beforehand. Perhaps you flipped a coin, rolled 2 dice at once, or played Rock-Paper-Scissors with your friend, praying that you’d get tails, or 2 sixes, or that your buddy picks scissors. At the very least, you may have uttered a phrase such as “What are the chances?” or even seen a meme along the lines of “Every event has 50% chances of happening: it either does, or it doesn’t”. Even in the unlikely event that nothing in the list above applies to you, what matters is what they have in common: the concept of probability. It makes its presence felt at all times, and in some aspects it even guides our lives. But what is this probability thing exactly? And why has it been studied so intensively by mathematicians for almost 5 centuries? Consider an event in the future, any event. Will Chelsea win the league this year? Will you be given homework to do next Thursday? Answering such questions constitutes a prediction, a belief that something will happen. Probability is a quantifier of how strong that belief is, a numerical description of how likely that prediction is to come true and of the corresponding event to occur. The mathematical probability assigned to an event is a number from 0 to 1 (which is why we often see it described as a percentage from 0% to 100%), such that 0 means impossibility and 1 indicates absolute certainty. Furthermore, as you may have guessed, the higher a probability is assigned to an event, the more likely it is to happen. Of course, with events in the past, or those based on scientific facts (e.g. sunrise and sunset) it is very easy to assign a probability, either 0 or 1. However, the future is usually filled with many variables, inconsistencies and what-if’s. Probability can extinguish some of the fear about upcoming events, providing a sense of certainty in our world of uncertainties. With the correct mathematical theory applied, it can serve as an objective predicting tool for the price of stock, the quantity of wool sheared in Scotland, the number of cases of HIV next year, and so on… However, it is dangerous to interpret probability as more than a simple measurement of likelihood and to take the numbers assigned to an event as acts of clairvoyance, especially if they are very close to either 0 or 1. No matter how many experts tell you to buy Tesla stock, a single catastrophe can make its value drop faster than a barrel down the Niagara Falls. While probability is a very useful tool to make somewhat informed and reasonable decisions, it should be treated with the utmost care as, in some cases, mathematics cannot replace instinct. Such examples of “defying the odds” can be seen in stock trading, with the famous GME saga, or in sports, with the well-known case of Leicester City winning the Premier League despite bookmaker odds of 5000-1. An extreme example of how probability can be so beautiful, yet so fragile was spotted in American football, more specifically in Super Bowl 51, the game to determine the winner of the NFL between the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots. The Falcons, shown at the bottom-left of the graph, were leading 28-3 in the middle of the 3rd quarter; in terms of actual football, it roughly translates to winning 4-0 with about 20 mins to go. At that point, the win probability for Atlanta was so dangerously close to 100% (it quite literally intersects with the x-axis of the graph), that if anyone had only seen this portion of the graph without knowing the events, they’d all predict an easy win for them. Here’s the second portion of the graph: In the end, the Patriots (upper part of the graph) mounted an incredible comeback to win 34-28 and lift the trophy. In doing so, they defied their very minuscule win probability and seemingly maths itself. What on Earth happened? Well, simply put, Atlanta choked. It isn’t what happened on the field that matters to us though, but the squiggly line that the win probability took as it swung completely from one side of the graph to the other. It started at a certain point before the match, with New England having the slight edge, and it fluctuated wildly as the game progressed. Each event on the field, be it a touchdown, an interception, or an injury to a key player, altered the belief of what was going to happen, and thus the confidence in predicting a winner. As a result, the win probability changed constantly, until the Falcons snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The idea that the probability of an event depends a lot on other events and does not simply remain constant until it happens is also captured by mathematical theory. Namely by the concept of ‘conditional probability’. For 2 events A and B, the conditional probability of A happening given B has already happened is represented by the following formula (which only makes sense if the event B has a non-zero chance of happening): As you might have guessed, P(event) is the notation used for the numerical probability of an event occurring, e.g. P(Arsenal win the Premiership this season) = 0. The event referenced in the numerator is that both A and B occur, as suggested by the intersection sign. Thus the conditional probability “of A given B” depends on both events happening (simultaneously or one after another), but also on the second event actually occurring in the first place. Many events in real life are inter-related; Ford stock depends on the market performance of the company, as well as on rivals such as Chevrolet. To win the Premier League, Liverpool need the results of 19 other teams to go their way (including matches against them). This is why understanding how events condition one another and, more importantly, which events actually influence something else is essential, regardless of what the butterfly effect might tell you. Of course, if two events are clearly independent of one another, then the probability of “A given B” is just the probability of A, since the event B does not influence it; the second dice roll is never affected by the first, regardless of any superstitions. More impressively, one can reconstruct the original probability of an event using entirely the events on which it depends. This is known as the ‘law of total probability’ or the ‘partition theorem’. The second name is given because the events on which we “condition” have to form a partition, namely to constitute all possible events that can happen…in some sense. For example, all the results of a football match, of tossing a coin or rolling a die can be a partition. The formula for an event A and a “partition” of events {B1,B2,…} is The formula can be understood as follows: since the Bi’s form a partition, only one of them can happen at a certain time step (you can’t get heads AND tails at the same time), so whenever the event A happens, exactly one of these events will also occur. Adding them up is a natural consequence of considering all possible cases. For example, suppose that you play a simple game where you roll a fair dice twice and you win if the sum of your rolls beats a certain randomised score. The RNG Gods weren’t too kind, giving you a score of 8 to beat. Using the law of total probability, you can compute beforehand your winning odds by conditioning on what the first roll might give you, so that you know whether it’s worth trying to roll again. Thus, a partition we can use is the 6 possible outcomes of a die roll; we can denote Bi as the event that we get the number i on the first throw, and A as winning the game. Since both dice are fair, we know that P(Bi)=1/6. Hence the probability of winning turns out to be: To finish the computation, we simply need to look at the conditional probabilities, and the corresponding events. If the first roll is a 1, you simply cannot win, so P(A|B1)=0. If the first roll is a 2, you can only win if the second roll is a 6, and there are 6 events that can happen after the first roll, namely the outcomes of the second, so P(A|B2) = 1/6. If the first roll is a 3, you can win with a second roll of at least 5, and there are still exactly 6 total possibilities, so P(A|B3) = 2/6. Continuing in the same fashion, P(A|B4) = 3/6, P(A|B5) = 4/6, P(A|B6)=5/6, and the winning odds are P(A) = 1/6 * 15/6 = 15/36. (You can verify all these equalities by simply writing down all possible rolls and their sum, then comparing it with 8). In the end, we cannot talk about probability without at least mentioning betting and gambling. After all, the theory of probability was only developed after a man named Gerolamo Cardano studied the gambling games of his time back in the 16th century. Of all the mathematical theory related to gambling developed since then, a particularly depressing concept sticks out: the gambler’s ruin. It is not just a theoretical idea, but also a topical problem that millions of people in the UK are affected by, as many go against probability to try to secure great riches. In this 3 part series, our aim is to mathematically argue why gambling is much more foolish than it seems, with the gambler’s ruin concept playing a key role. In the next article we will move on to the seemingly unrelated ‘recurrence relations’, but before doing so, we need to acknowledge once more just how intriguing of a concept probability actually is. The fact that mathematicians, interested in absolute certainty through their pursuit of mathematical proof, have been studying the opposite of what they believe in for 5 centuries is nothing short of incredible. Thanks to their work, we can now make more analytic predictions and decisions. But, as beautiful as it may be, probability is no clairvoyance. No one really knows what will happen in the future (I’m looking at you Atlanta…). So, always make the choice that you will regret the least!

This gives a rate of 18.75 pounds per hour. A human typically consumes 4 pounds of food per day - meaning we would need to eat all of our meals in under 13 minutes to keep up with an elephant! #tomrocksmaths #elephant #safari Did you know giraffes only have 7 neck bones - the same as a human or any other mammal - though of course they are much longer than ours, reaching up to 10 inches long. If all the bones were at maximum size, would the neck be taller than me? (I’m 6 foot). #tomrocksmaths #giraffe #safari Wild dogs are an endangered species with only 4 remaining populations - one of which is in Kruger National Park. There are approximately 500 so we were incredibly lucky to see two separate groups of around 20 individuals.

The Best Movies About Mental Health By Laura Greenstein | Dec. 20, 2017 It’s becoming increasingly more common for Hollywood to highlight mental health conditions in films. Because mental illness affects millions of Americans, it’s an extremely relatable theme. Sometimes, these movies show mental illness in a way that is inaccurate or stigmatizing. For those in “the business” who don’t have lived experience, it can be difficult to depict. However, there are some movies that realistically show what it’s like to experience mental illness. Here’s a list of a few movies that get it right. A Beautiful Mind (2001) This movie, based on a true story, highlights the life of John Forbes Nash, Jr. (Russel Crow), a mathematical savant who lived with schizophrenia. The movie beautifully captures the challenges John faced throughout his life, including paranoia and delusions that altered his promising career and deeply affected his life. Through the magic of film, viewers can live John’s hallucinations with him, which feel as real to the audience as they did to him. Matchstick Men (2003) Roy (Nicolas Cage) is a con artist working with his protégé to steal a lot of money. While he may be confident in his ability to steal from the rich, he struggles in other aspects of his life. His debilitating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), agoraphobia and panic attacks make it difficult for him to leave his apartment or even open a door. When he discovers he has a 14-year-old daughter, he’s forced to evaluate his career choices and isolated lifestyle. Matchstick Men is an honest depiction of the rituals and behaviors of someone living with OCD. It’s Kind of a Funny Story (2010) You wouldn’t think a movie set in a mental health hospital could be a comedy. However, this well-crafted film tells the story of 16-year-old Craig (Keir Gilchrist) who checks himself into a psychiatric ward because of his depression and suicidal ideation. He ends up staying in the adult unit because the youth wing is under renovation. The hospital is not a scary place and the patients are not portrayed as “mad” or “insane”—it’s a safe place where people struggling are getting help, and using humor as a relief from the serious conditions that brought them there. This Hollywood approach to a psychiatric unit may be more comical than any real-life scenario, but it helps normalize the fact that sometimes people need this level of care. Silver Linings Playbook (2012) After a stay in a mental health hospital, Pat Solatano (Bradley Cooper) is forced to move back in with his parents. His previously untreated symptoms of bipolar disorder caused him to lose both his wife and job, and he is determined to get his wife back. In his efforts, Pat meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), who offers to help him in exchange for Pat being her ballroom dance partner. Silver Linings Playbook represents the range of emotion that often occurs with bipolar disorder in a real and riveting way. The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) Socially awkward Charlie (Logan Lerman) starts high school isolated and anxious. Luckily, he becomes friends with a group of charismatic seniors, including Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller). His friends bring joy to his life, but his inner turmoil reaches a high when they prepare to leave for college. As the film goes on, we learn more about Charlie’s mental health journey—from his stay in a psychiatric hospital to the details of a childhood trauma. This coming-of-age movie does an exemplary job of showing the highs and lows of growing up with mental illness. The Skeleton Twins (2014) The opening scene of Skeleton Twins shows the film’s main characters, Milo (Bill Hader) and Maggie (Kristen Wiig), both attempting suicide. Milo’s attempt lands him in the hospital, which reunites the brother and sister after 10 years of estrangement. Both characters express their depression in candid and humorous ways as they learn to accept each other and themselves. Infinitely Polar Bear (2015) Cam (Mark Ruffalo), a father with bipolar disorder, becomes the sole caregiver for his two daughters while his wife (Zoe Saldana) goes away to graduate school. Throughout the movie, Cam faces many challenges that make it difficult for him to take care of his daughters. However, despite the severity of his condition (and some unique parenting methods that accompany it), Cam learns that he is a good father who cares deeply for his family. Infinitely Polar Bear is a very meaningful portrayal of how families can be impacted by mental illness. Welcome to Me (2015) Alice (Kristen Wiig) has just decided to go off her medications for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) when she wins the lottery. She impulsively buys her own talk show with the money, in which she shares her opinions with the world. Although portrayed in a humorous way, Alice shows many of the traits of BPD, including mood swings and unstable relationships. As her behavior pushes away the people closest to her—including her therapist—she starts to take her mental health condition more seriously and works to keep her loved ones in her life. In the process, she falsifies the myth that a person with BPD is selfish. Inside Out (2015) This quirky animation personifies the different emotions inside a young girl’s mind. Characters Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust try to help Riley through her family’s move to San Francisco. The emotions learn to work together to help Riley process the turmoil of adjusting to her new life. Inside Out is a clever, modern and well-made film that puts mental health into a new context. Hopefully, as we continue to spread awareness and education, Hollywood will continue to make movies like the ones in this list that show what mental illness is really like.

During his year-long transition from professional support player from Tempo Storm to one of North America's foremost casters, Wade "Dreadnaught" Penfold has developed a reputation as a critical but respected voice on the desk. Bringing the analysis and interpretation of a former pro and a forthright willingness to call what he sees, Dread quickly cemented himself as a casting staple on the 2016 Heroes Global Championship circuit. Before he took to the stage at the Anaheim Convention Center for BlizzCon, Dread sat down with theScore esports to talk about why he decided to move to casting, the advice he got from Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski, and why he doesn't feel obliged to unilaterally support North America. I find the idea of entering casting to be almost like rolling the dice; it's such a scary proposition. It hit me when I saw [Josh "Jhow" Howard] tweet a picture of his empty office and announce that he was going full-time esports. First off for you, what drew you to casting? What is it about you that pulled you in that direction after you decided to retire? It's weird, actually. I was originally a big fan of League of Legends, and played a lot of League and after watching when the LCS kind of came into play, I actually originally wanted to be a caster. Largely because I realized I could never play League professionally, and I didn't have the time or effort to really commit to it. So I got into Heroes and everything else and found competitive success with [Symbiote Gaming] and Tempo Storm. But when I backed out of it, I thought: number one, I had a couple friends who told me I should consider getting into casting, because they felt like I would be effective at it. But then, it was like those original aspirations — like I enjoy the idea of being a medium, kind of like a translator if you will, for what's happening at a competitive level to the consumer. So a lot of it I'd argue is just based off of my friends, and people involved in esports, saying I should give it a shot. And then also my enjoyment from competitive Heroes, competitive gaming in general, and being a way to stay involved in it while also trying to be that translator. I think that describing yourself as a translator is interesting because a game like Heroes, which is casually approachable but has this depth at the competitive level which casual fans might not be able to interpret. Did you always approach it from that perspective, to make it accessible? Or did you just fall into that? I think it's a little of both. I don't know if I'd say I pushed for it, but I wouldn't say that it's not natural for me, specifically. I can tell you that like, looking at some of the interest that I had in League for instance, I enjoyed casters that told me what I couldn't see. And I think that was something that was really appealing for me specifically. So take that, and my position in the community was already kind of an educational [one], a lot of the time, and it seemed to be what people really enjoyed. And I realized I enjoyed it myself. It made it very natural for me to kind of be that guy, or at least try to be. Are you full-time esports right now? I've been full-time esports right now, for almost a year and a half, two years. I quit my senior year of college my very last semester, to try and pursue video games full-time. And that was before we got picked up by Tempo Storm, like four or five months. What were you studying? I was a double major in criminal justice and psychology. What was that moment like, when you decided to go full-time? A lot of it was my own philosophy on things, more than anything else. It wasn't so much that there was a breaking moment where I was like, 'you know what, I can do this.' I mean, there were a couple where I realized it might be a realistic goal. But I view a lot of what I do in life as, I would rather all-in something and fail than split my interest and focus in two different things and be mediocre at both. And so I viewed it as, if I want to pursue college and everything else ― which I think is still a reasonable thing, and honestly I probably took the more radical route ― but I'd rather all-in to esports and fail, and then just come back and finish my schooling. But I felt like, as you mentioned about "rolling the die," that window is a lot smaller, and I realized that mine might not exist if I didn't just commit then, so I went for it. Seemingly you've picked the right window, as you'll be casting on the BlizzCon stage here. Were there any surprises during your transition that you didn't anticipate? I think I was surprised at the work ethic you see from the other casters. It was something I maybe didn't totally understand. But without a doubt, the one thing that did really catch me off-guard by a large margin was how subjective, but also firm people are in their casting preferences. And how you can provide the same information 50 different ways, but only five of them are appreciated, or are valuable to a large amount of the audience. The farther you go up in the numbers, the smaller the demographic it kind of appeals to. It's as simple as repeating the same word ... I can almost the same thing, but if I said the word value three different times, suddenly I'm almost this buffoon that's trying to speak teach you about the video game and how simple those small things can be, and how big they are from an audience perspective. Like, "You said it three times, nothing you say is applicable?" It's like, "I can't even listen to you anymore because you didn't choose a different word," things like that I found really interesting. You've casted with people who have been around esports a long time. Every single person has been around a lot longer than me. For me personally, my favorite pairing for you in Heroes has been Khaldor. For me, it's because you guys are willing to take little jabs at each other, but it's all in good fun. Do you have a preference for what kind casting dynamic you like to have when you're up there? I think, first and foremost, making it exciting but not over-exaggerating the skill or the quality of the game while having fluid conversation, which I think is a huge part. But also, being educational. I think those are the three major points that I look for as an ideal cast. And that fun side can come from poking jabs, or it could be as simple as small joked elsewhere, they don't always have to come in that form. My first major tournament I ever casted was the Spring Global Championship, and I got to cast with Artosis, and hang out with him. When I first got into casting I asked people, as somebody to learn from, who is the best caster in the world? And for a lot of people, his name was frequent to pop up. I got to ask him about a lot of the philosophies he had on casting, and why he felt the way he did. One of them that he brought up, that I thought was really cool, was: you should view your cast as two best friends from college drinking a beer and watching your favorite game. And you want the audience to be the third guy. They want to be that third guy on the couch. And though they aren't going to be able to give that feedback, you want them to desire to be in your conversation. Granted, I'm not sure I share that exact same philosophy now on my own, but I think it was a really good foundation to start on. Shifting to the North American region, Astral Authority's CauthonLuck called you one of their greatest detractors in a recent interview. I have never put my faith into them as a team, and I feel like a lot of it comes down to the fact that I don't think a lot of them have the common traits that you see on good or great teams. I can see why they view that as unfair, but ... I'm not here to represent North America. In my opinion, I'm here for the best games in the world. If that is not something from the North American region ... I don't have that nationalistic perspective. I want to see the best team in the world vs. the best team in the world, and great games. If North America ― not even them specifically ― is not the one providing it ... I'm not saying it's wrong, but I've never really been the one to be like, "But it's North America, so my heart has to be behind it." I always, in my heart, want to see someone take out the Korean team, any time that I can. But I also realize how good they are, and I've studied a lot of them to try and understand what they do that is right and wrong, and everything else. I feel like, if those teams are consistently doing so well, it's hard for me to view the traits of things they do so well, and then not see that anywhere within your own region, and then be like, "there's still a chance because I want there to be one, not because there really is." I can see how some people might view that as rude, but it's something that I've not really been able to wrap my head around. What about Astral against their own region? In the Fall season, many people ― myself among them ― seemed surprised by their initial success. I think this is a very talented roster, but even in their own region they seemed to have been cast aside, with people saying, "There's no way they do it." I did that. I did that to them whole-heartedly. And granted, after putting up the results twice, I was one of the first people to be like, I do think they are definitely the team [that should be representing NA]. I think, for me, why they see such success is ... when you look at what they do really well, it's bullying their opponents in the draft. I even referenced that in the Town Hall episode. It comes down to them bullying in the draft. They will constantly attack weak hero pools and put you on things that you aren't very comfortable on. And whenever that happens, whether it be through draft or picking it themselves to isolate it, they always pick on the two weak links, or the weak link of their opponent. And that puts them in a position to have the upper hand in the draft. Now, as long as they play reasonably mechanically and at a team level, they will be the ones to come out on top at the end of that game. Now, every single team we see the teams like that go to the international level, suddenly you don't memorize what your opponent loves to play. When it comes down to knowing your opponents to be successful, you're almost never going to thrive in the international perspective. You're good within your territory, within your comfort zone. But international play always pushes you out of it. Looking at the games they've had here, they didn't do anything to attack a team like Please Buff Arthas, who showed they had holes in their draft. They have major comfort picks, and they didn't stab at any one of those. And they lost the games every time when they gave their opponents two of them, because there's two players that have that weak hero pool. So if that's your strength in NA ... at the international level, the team that is by far the most weak in your area of strength, and you aren't willing to abuse that? I don't know what you want from me, as a guy who is supposed to support. And again, it could be any region. I'd say the same words. Josh "Gauntlet" Bury is a news editor for theScore esports.

Alwaght- Hundreds of Palestinians poured to the streets of besieged Gaza Strip on Saturday to Protest US President's Decision to recognize al-Quds as Israeli regime capital as well as to condemn behind-the-scenes support of Saudi rulers to the move. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) organization cancelled its 50th anniversary commemorations to protest against Trump's move, whit its supporting carrying placards rebuking Trump and Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Angry Gazan protesters in an unprecedented move burned picture s of Saudi king and his 32-year old son, whom the accuse of moving Saudi Arabia closer to Israeli regime. "The PFLP also emphasized that its march of anger and revolution will raise its voice against US imperialism, Zionist colonialism and Arab reactionary collusion," the group said in a statement on their website. "It demanded the Palestinian Authority end its continued reliance on negotiations and end security coordination with the occupier." The protests came after reports emerged that Saudi rulers are working to the advantage of the Israeli Regime under the guise of mediating in Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Four Palestinian officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity on Friday that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman had communicated a proposal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that would give away the right of return for Palestinian refugees and the status of al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of a future Palestinian state in return for conditions unfavorable to Palestinians. That proposal has reportedly been shaped by Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and “senior adviser,” who has developed a close relationship with Mohammed bin Salman. The Palestinian officials expressed concern that the proposal is too much in line with Israeli interests and to the disadvantage of Palestinians, whose land Israel has occupied. According to one of the Palestinian officials, the US proposal that bin Salman communicated to Abbas included establishing “a Palestinian entity” in Gaza as well as the West Bank administrative areas A and B and 10 percent of area C. Under the plan, however, Israeli settlements would stay in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian refugees would not be able to return to their homeland, and the Tel Aviv regime would maintain control over borders, the source added. Another Palestinian official said bin Salman had asked Abbas to back the US initiative when the two met in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, last month. “President Trump in a phone call told Abu Mazen (Abbas): ‘I will have some proposals for you that you would like.’ When Abu Mazen pressed him on details, Trump didn’t give any,” the source said. A third Palestinian official said the Saudi crown prince had told Abbas, “Be patient, you will hear good news. This peace process will go ahead.” Jordanian political analyst Oraib Rantawi warned of “direct dealings and a desire to present a deal that is unfair to the Palestinians in return for securing US backing and paving the way for [Persian] Gulf-Israeli cooperation to confront Iran.” In November, Lebanon’s al-Akhbar daily published a secret undated letter from Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir to bin Salman that laid out a number of conditions in exchange for normalizing ties with Israel. One of the conditions was that the Saudis would contribute to the resolution of the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict by proposing the resettling of Palestinian refugees in their host countries rather than their return to their homeland. Saudi Arabia has also cultivated better relations with the administration of Trump, a former businessman, by purchasing billions of dollars’ worth of American arms.

Inflamed with a burning love, Francis began to repair the church of San Damiano, but later realized that God was calling him to restore the whole Church, the Body of Christ. The San Damiano icon crucifix was painted to teach the meaning of Christ's saving death and Resurrection. This icon, like all others, is a "window to heaven" which helps us encounter, by grace, our God who loves us unconditionally and who calls each of us to build up His Body on earth.

Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four has already promised a more “gritty, grounded” approach to fantasticness, a tone Fox’s comic-book movie hopes to achieve by staying away from the sort of outlandish stories one might find in comic books. In keeping with that, certain adjustments must be made to the characters themselves, giving them new origin stories, making them younger and hotter—and therefore more believable as scientists—and, in the case of villain Doctor Doom, updating them to a more contemporary version of evil. For example, the old Doctor Doom was the gypsy son of a witch and medicine man who wielded sorcery and science as the ruler of the fictional nation of Latveria. He was a man of unparalleled arrogance who used his skills only to threaten the world. So obviously, in the modern parallel, he’s an asshole on the Internet. Advertisement Doctor Doom (evil medical license pending) will be played by Toby Kebbell, who discussed his character’s new backstory in an interview with Collider. In it, he revealed the “minor change” of Doom’s name, lineage, and occupation: The only thing I can tease you about is what I worked on most was the voice because nobody—even in the cartoons, when I was watching them I was like, ‘So where’s he from?’ There’s a mild change…He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor von Doom in our story. And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer. Very antisocial programmer. And on blogging sites I’m ‘Doom.’” Kebbell did not specify which “blogging sites” face the godlike wrath of Doom, stoked by his daily, white-hot irritation at others’ sloppy coding and lukewarm sodas, and expunged in a series of progressively nastier subreddits. Nor did he mention Doom’s surely vast army of merciless Twitter Doombots, just waiting to clog up the mentions of any who would stand in his way. Advertisement Still, it’s clear that this Doom will have his dangerous pride reinforced by something even more insidious than his vast wealth, scientific genius, or mysticism: the echo chamber of the Internet. Indeed, the new Doom firmly believes it’s about ethics in fantasticness. However, the character’s first name will still be “Victor.” You don’t want to lose the important things.

Credits are about to roll on an East Colfax mainstay. Hollywood Posters at 326 E. Colfax will close its doors for good in the next few weeks after 35 years in business. Shop owner John Caruso said a drop in sales is forcing his business to shut down. “People just aren’t buying posters like they used to,” he said. “Half of the people have no money and half just browse and walk out of the store.” Caruso said Hollywood Posters currently has a month-to-month lease for the space, which city records show is owned by C&L Acquisition LLC. Hollywood Posters has not set a final closing date, but Caruso said it could be anywhere between about two and six weeks away. The poster shop will be the second business to close in recent weeks on the 300 block of East Colfax. Emilio’s Mexican Restaurant two doors west of Hollywood was shut down, owing the state nearly $12,000 in unpaid sales taxes.

Nill, a native of Hanna, Alta., had accepted the job with the Thunderbirds just three months before, taking over following a successful run with the University of Calgary Dinos and before that with the Saint Mary’s Huskies, winning two Vanier Cups in seven trips to the CIS title game. It was spring 2015, just days into his first camp with the University of British Columbia football team when head coach Blake Nill, feeling frustrated and annoyed with how his defence was practising, called an impromptu meeting on the field.

This article was published 8/9/2016 (900 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current. It was spring 2015, just days into his first camp with the University of British Columbia football team when head coach Blake Nill, feeling frustrated and annoyed with how his defence was practising, called an impromptu meeting on the field. Nill, a native of Hanna, Alta., had accepted the job with the Thunderbirds just three months before, taking over following a successful run with the University of Calgary Dinos and before that with the Saint Mary’s Huskies, winning two Vanier Cups in seven trips to the CIS title game. Upset with what he was getting from his players, now huddled around him as the rain poured down, Nill saw it as the perfect time to send a message — and he had the perfect man to do it with. "See that guy up there in the stands?" Nill told them. "He is going to come in and take someone’s job, so you better start picking it up." In the stands was Taylor Loffler, a 6-4, 220-pound beast of a man who, in his only season with UBC, would become the driving force on defence. "The plan worked just the way it was supposed to — it was a win-win," Nill, who with the help of Loffler led the Thunderbirds, a team that had gone 2-6 the previous year, to their fourth Vanier Cup in school history and first in 18 years, said in a telephone interview Thursday. The plan: if Loffler, who had two tears to the ACL in his right knee and labral surgery on both his hips and therefore was limited to just one full season in four years at Boise State University of the NCAA, could help bring some stability to UBC’s football program then Nill, who over his decades of coaching in the CIS had built close relationships with CFL scouts, would help him get noticed. "That was the biggest thing talking to him, knowing he’d had a lot of success and that he had a lot of connections," said Loffler, who first learned the game while living in Australia, where he played Aussie rules football. "That was my biggest goal going there, just to be able to move on and make it to the CFL, and I knew he would probably be the best man for that." Months later, Loffler would get his wish, selected in the third round — 19th overall — by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 2016 CFL Draft. Now with the Blue and Gold, Loffler finds himself in the same position, only this time taking over the starting job at safety that once belonged to Macho Harris. Harris, who had played well before pulling up lame in Week 5, returned to practice this week and has been taking second-team reps with the defence behind Loffler. BORIS MINKEVICH / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive back Taylor Loffler practises at Investors Group Field Thursday. "He’s been getting better each week with his coverage, with reading offences while working with the other defensive backs," said Bombers defensive backs coach Tony Missick, speaking about Loffler. "He doesn’t take any practices off, he basically takes every rep at the free safety position and never complains. He’s still surprising us coaches as to what he can actually do." In nine games with the Blue and Gold — five at safety — Loffler has 24 defensive tackles, two interceptions and a quarterback sack, while also chipping in with four tackles on special teams. In those games he’s shown a keen football IQ, flashed his deceptive speed, earned respect with his hard hits, all while building a trust within the team’s secondary. Though he remains a work in progress — "we’re not ready to let him loose just yet," said Missick — Loffler has quickly emerged into one of the most compelling stories for the Bombers this year and maybe even in the CFL; a quick trajectory that has put him in the discussion for CFL rookie of the year. Of all his upside, it’s his ability to throw the big hit that has Bombers fans eager to see how his story plays out. "The biggest thing is it sets a precedent," said Loffler, who was born in Regina but grew up on a ranch in Montana before moving to Kelowna, B.C., where he played high school football. "You want to be physical out there, especially at safety. You want guys looking at you as you’re coming across the middle." In his first start at safety in a Week 6 win over the Edmonton Eskimos, Loffler brought fans to their feet when he went toe-to-toe with former Bombers receiver Adarius Bowman, separating him from the ball with a crushing hit that left Bowman briefly dazed on the turf. Two weeks ago against the Montreal Alouettes, Loffler threw every inch of himself at receiver Nik Lewis, knocking the 5-10, 240-pounder off his feet. "It’s like the nail and the hammer theory," he said. "If you’re the nail, that’s when injuries happen." Want to get a head start on your day? Get the day’s breaking stories, weather forecast, and more sent straight to your inbox every morning. For Darian Thompson, a former teammate of Loffler’s at Boise State and now a safety with the NFL’s New York Giants, it comes as no surprise to see Loffler doing so well. Thompson saw it first-hand as a teammate, both his ability to deliver punishing hits and his drive when it comes to overcoming injuries. "One thing about Taylor, whether he’s practising or playing, is the sideline has to be aware because if somebody is running down that sideline he’s going to fly in full-speed like a missile," said Thompson. "He has an extreme love for the game of football, and a couple of serious injuries left him standing around watching sometimes for a full year before he was able to get back onto the field. You could tell when he got back out there he had been waiting for the opportunity and he tries to make the most of it." That’s exactly what Loffler is doing, trying his best to enjoy the moment and not take things for granted. "You just got to keep working every week. You can never get satisfied with how you’re playing," he said. "It’s been a great experience so far. I love the city, love the fans, love my teammates, and love my coaches — I couldn’t be happier." jeff.hamilton@freepress.mb.ca Twitter: @jeffkhamilton

Opponents of the $2 billion wind farm bid and Meridian have started fresh legal action, which could put on hold an Environment Court rethink set down for November. In August, the High Court upheld an appeal by Meridian against the Environment Court’s rejection of its planned 176-turbine wind farm in Central Otago. The decision by justices Lester Chisholm and John Fogarty called for a nine-step rethink by the Environment Court, which cancelled consents for the proposed farm on the outstanding natural landscape of the Lammermoor Range last year. Meridian Energy counsel Hugh Rennie, QC, Andrew Beatson and Humphrey Tapper, filed a memo on September 6 seeking clarification. Court documents asked for changes and additions to clarify directions in the 63-page decision. Meridian’s High Court appeal objected to the Environment Court’s “new test” that a project such as Hayes should demonstrate how it was economically better than any other potential generation scheme and consider alternative sites. Justices Chisholm and Fogarty said Meridian was not obliged to go beyond a “reasonably detailed” description of alternative sites to satisfy this. Meridian’s memo asked for consideration of alternative sites using the Central Otago district plan landscape categories. Central Otago’s district plan does not recognise the definition of outstanding natural landscapes. High Court directions should explicitly say alternatives should use the district plan, ruling out independent analyses of other potential wind farm sites, the memo says. Meridian says all parties can present further submissions. Umbrella group Save Central – which represents opponents of the wind farm bid – filed notice with the High Court seeking leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal. Notice was filed by the Maniototo Environmental Society, Upland Landscape Protection Society, John and Sue Douglas, of Alexandra, and Ewan Carr. If the High Court grants the application, the opponents may take the case to appeal or continue with the Environment Court rehearing. But the High Court must also arrange a hearing to consider Meridian’s call for clarification, before any decision about whether the matter proceeds to the scheduled Environment Court rethink or another jurisdiction.

The City of Winnipeg will begin plowing residential streets on Sunday, January 5 at 7 p.m. With more snow in the forecast beginning Friday morning, crews will plow residential streets soon after to improve their overall condition. “The city is urging motorists to move their vehicles when their zone is scheduled to an off-street parking location such as a driveway, parking lot or nearby street not currently scheduled for clearing,” said Jim Berezowsky, manager of the city’s streets maintenance division. “When vehicles are parked in violation of the regulations, it impacts the snow clearing operation and no one wants to see streets only partially cleared due to vehicles parked in the way.” Vehicles parked in violation of the residential parking ban will receive a $150 ticket ($75 if paid early), and may be towed.

Be careful what you post online — it could come back to haunt you. This has been popular advice for a while now, repeated by a chorus of onlookers and pundits each time a public figure is called to task over a controversial comment posted online. Politicians and public figures face their fair share of scrutiny, but it is average teens that seem to bear the brunt of this perilous landscape. Teens are coming of age, experimenting with their identities and figuring out personal relationships — all against the backdrop of social media and instant messaging and the possibility that any online communication could become public fodder. Despite the fact that the internet has been around for decades, this is still fairly new territory without clearly defined rules, says MIT professor Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other. "The blunders that come hand in hand with growing up are going to live on the internet forever, essentially making the moratorium for youth almost non-existent," she said. No 'moratorium for youth' But what is the line between youthful blunders and truly harmful behaviour? There have been numerous stories recently in which teens have received severe punishments in response to questionable online activities. Harvard University rescinded admission offers to 10 students based on comments and memes in an obscene Facebook group. Meanwhile, because of a new bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, a person under 18 caught sexting could face 15 years in prison. While the two cases are quite different, both are examples of attempts to bring order to the digital Wild West. Matthew Johnson, director of education for MediaSmarts, says that in the Harvard case, "the primary goal was to avoid admitting students who had shown that they were likely to behave in ways that might make other students feel uncomfortable or unwelcome." He says the sexting bill, on the other hand, is clearly intended to send a message to producers and distributors of child pornography, which some point out also includes teens who are consensually sharing sexts. According to Danielle Citron, a professor at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law, and a leader in the fight against online harassment and revenge porn, there need to be repercussions for harmful online behaviour, just as there are consequences for the offline equivalent. There have been numerous stories recently in which teens have received severe punishments in response to questionable online activities. (iStock photo.) "It's true that we are in the early stages of learning about the harm that can result from online behaviour, but we should view what happens online and off the same way." She says "to not hold students to some level of accountability or to say it's no big deal is wrongful and misses an educational opportunity." Teens don't fear punishment But Johnson adds that for repercussions to have any effect, they have to be made public and have to be part of a consistent policy. In other words, creating a healthy culture where teens can learn by example is far more beneficial than punitive rules meant to scare them from engaging digitally. "In general, teens aren't much motivated by the fear of punishment. They're much more likely to be influenced by what they see as the norms and values of their community – particularly their peers and role models," says Johnson. In fact, in some cases, a punitive approach might do more harm than good. "The evidence is absolutely clear that taking a punitive approach does not work in convincing youth not to send sexts," says Johnson. "There's reason to believe that it actually makes things worse for those who are victimized when sexts they've sent are shared more widely without their consent." Not only can fear of prosecution make teens afraid to turn to the law for help, but it also encourages others to blame the victim rather than the person who redistributed the sexts. "This tendency to deny youth agency mostly comes out of an instinct to protect them," adds Johnson. Citron says the "law can be stupidly or foolishly enforced" but that "we are in dangerous territory if we start carving out states of exception of social behaviour where we say, 'Ah, you're young, you didn't know better.' We are far beyond that in terms of how pervasive our networked tools are." These are complex issues, especially considering that those making the decisions, or laws, didn't themselves grow up in this unique era in which any post is a swipe away from going viral. "Unfortunately, it actually has the effect of making them less able to manage the risks they encounter," says Johnson. Which means that while the decision-makers are opting for new rules and legislation, perhaps the bulk of the effort should be more preventative and proactive — namely, making sure teens are involved in conversations about negative online behaviour at home and in the classroom, and giving them a platform to have their voices and concerns heard. Growing up constantly connected, teens are essentially the canary in the 21st-century coal mine. Having spent most of their lives online, they will ultimately show us the long-term effects of saying — or sharing — too much online. This column is part of CBC's Opinion section.

The Great 12 Livery Companies of the City of London & their Coat of Ar – Seal & Scribe Skip to content Submit Close search Seal & Scribe Home Shop About Us Blog FAQ Testimonials Submit Search Log in Cart Home Shop About Us Blog FAQ Testimonials The Great 12 Livery Companies of the City of London & their Coat of Arms by Seal & Scribe January 26, 2022 The Livery companies of the City of London have played an integral part in the development of the city. So much so that even today, the activities of the various liveries are intertwined with the daily life of the Square Mile. Often beginning life in medieval times as a loose association of tradesman with similar interests, they grew into what were essentially trade bodies. These organizations were also a brotherhood of sorts, founded originally on religious principles, but also utilized as a safety net for their members in times of hardship, illness, injury, etc. The liveries grew to become so important that if you wanted to work in a particular trade in the city then you needed to do your time. First as an apprentice learning your trade. Accountable to your master for many years before becoming a freeman of the city after the apprenticeship was completed. The companies governed who could trade. Membership of one was essential if you wanted to make your own way in life. Becoming a freeman was important as once awarded such status you could ply your trade and become your own man. Until such time though all apprentices would have been at the whim of the master of the company. It was those decisions as to their future which would have been of great importance. In this blog post, we look at the 'Great 12 Liveries' of London, and their coat of arms, which are often cheeky, sometimes perplexing, but always glorious, and a reminder of their importance in their time. Order of Precedence In 1516 the livery companies were given an order of precedence by the Lord Mayor of the time. The precedence list was basically ordered around wealth and some of the companies were incredibly wealthy and very powerful. At the time there were only 48 companies but the ranks have now grown to 108. Out of the original 48, a ‘Great 12’ was created. These were the 12 most powerful and influential companies in the City of London controlling all sorts of aspects of daily life and trade, but they all still play an important role in the life of the City of London. 1. The Mercers Company The word ‘Mercer’ comes from the Latin term for merchandise and the Mercers’s were generally traders. The ‘Mercery’ was a market area which existed around the church of St. Mary Le Bow in the City of London. According to the Worshipful Company of Mercer’s themselves, a Mercer “might have run a shop or market stall selling fabrics and accessories”. Mercers might also have been traders who moved from town to town selling goods. The present Mercer’s Hall is on Ironmonger Lane in London. 2. The Grocers Company Originally known as the Ancient Guild of Pepperers, the name was changed in 1376 to the Company of Grocer’s. Its first royal charter was granted in 1428 by Henry VI. The original Pepperer’s were responsible for ‘garbling’ which was the prevention of the impairment of spices and drugs, hence the cloves that are prominent upon it's shield, and the camel on its crest which likely represents the areas of the world where spices came from. They were also responsible for the Kings Beam from which goods were weighed and so become responsible for weights and measures. The term ‘Grocer’ comes from the Latin ‘Grossarius’, meaning a person who works with large amounts of trade goods. The present Grocer’s Hall is on Princes Street in London. 3. The Draper’s Company The Draper’s would have traded in wool and cloth, hence a golden sheep as it's majestic crest. Drapers had powers to regulate the woollen cloth trade in the City. It controlled the sale of Cloth at Cloth Fairs and determined the unit of measurement by which wool and cloth was sold. The word drapery comes from the Latin ‘Drappus’ and is a general term referring to cloths and textiles. The company itself had its first Royal Charter issued in 1364. The Draper’s Hall is on Throgmorton Street in London. 4. The Fishmonger’s Company The Fishmonger’s were granted their first Royal Charter by Edward I in 1272. At one time they enjoyed a monopoly in trade of fish in the city. As fish was such a staple part of the diet and the city being intimately connected to the Thames and the Sea, this increased the influence of the company significantly. The Sea, marine folklore, and fish all play prominent and whimsical roles in this livery's coat of arms. Now the company still maintains links with its past and provides support for a number of fish and fisheries related organisations. The Fishmongers Hall is on the city side of London Bridge on the banks of the Thames. 5. The Goldsmith’s Company The Goldsmith’s were responsible for testing the quality and Gold and Silver and regulated the trade of the Goldsmith. The word ‘hallmark’ comes from the time when craftsmen were required to bring their goods to the hall for ‘assaying and marking’. We love the scales for weighing gold that appear as this livery's crest, as well as the gold garter buckles and orbs (meant for royalty and those of the highest social standing), and the leopard's head, which is still the assay mark for London and was first used in 1300 as the King's mark of authentication, introduced by Edward I to protect and preserve the standards of gold and silver wares. It was also responsible (and still is) for checking the quality of the coins produced by the Royal Mint. This is a process called ‘The Trial of the Pyx’. The name ‘Pyx’ refers to the chests in which the coins were transported. It derives from the ‘Pyx chamber’ in Westminster Abbey where the chests were kept. The ‘Trial’ is named after the Metal Plate against which the coins are tested against. The Goldsmiths Hall is on Foster Lane in London. Determining presidence must have been tricky. For positions six and seven the issue became insurmountable especially with feelings running high and honour at stake. The Skinners and the Merchant Taylor’s had a history. In 1484 it turned to violence during the Lord Mayor’s river procession. With such a delicate scenario, a solution was devised which meant that the Skinners and the Merchant Taylors changed position every year. It is thought that the phrase “at sixes and sevens” came about because of the dispute. 6&7. The Merchant Taylor’s Company (alternating w/ Skinners for position 7 every year) The Merchant Taylor’s were given their first Royal Charter by Edward III in 1327. Initially an association of citizens who worked as Tailors and Linen Armourers. The company grew to such an extent that it controlled the tailoring trade. Linen Armourers made the padded tunics worn underneath suits of armour and these were important pieces of clothing in a City often at the heart of warfare. This livery utilizes a sheep as their crest, as well as the royal capes they would have made. Their camel supporters may have originated as a nod to exotic camel hair, used for the finest cloaks. The Merchant Taylor’s Hall is on Threadneedle Street (quite appropriately) in the City of London. 7&6. The Skinners Company (alternating w/ Merchant Taylor’s for position 6 every year) The Skinners had their origin in the fur trade which back in medieval times was an extremely luxury item. Expensive as it was to import, it was a status item and its use was strictly controlled. Different types of fur were restricted to different classes. Ermine and Sable for example was only for Royalty and the Aristocracy. Common folk had to make do with less exotic furs from Rabbit or Cat. This livery utilizes cats and what looks to be a weasel, as their crest and supporters. The Company was granted its first Royal Charter in 1327 by Edward III. Skinners Hall is at 8 Dowgate Hill in London. 8. The Haberdashers Company Haberdashers sold things such as ribbons, gloves, pins and caps and Hats. The company first received its Royal Charter in 1448. The Haberdashers were joined by the Hatmaker’s Fraternity in 1502. This meant that there were two groups representing Haberdashers of Small Wares and Haberdashers of Hats. Haberdashers Hall can be found at 18 West Smithfield in London. 9. The Salter’s Company Salt was an important commodity in medieval times as it was used extensively to preserve meat and fish. The importance of Salt as a commodity goes back years and the word ‘Sal’ is the origin of the word ‘Salary’ as Roman soldiers were given salt rations. Other uses for salt included cleaning, dyeing fabric, bleaching, degreasing, dehairing and softening leather. Salters were experts in the dry salting of meat and fish. They would also have been aware of the many other ways in which salt could be of benefit in medieval daily life. We love the salt spilling out from each side of these wonderful salt urns, which elevate the humble salt to it's rightful place of importance. The company received its first license from Richard II in 1394. Salters Hall is on Fore Street in London. 10. The Ironmonger’s Company Originally known as the Ferroners the Ironmongers Company regulated the quality of iron which would have been used extensively in the wheels of carts used to transport goods. We love how the flourishes and the front grill of the knight's helmet give the look of flames that would be found at an ironworks. The Salamander is the heraldic symbol of protection, perhaps adopted here due to the various injuries that might have occurred back then whilst working with foundries, fire, and hot metals. They were given their Royal Charter in 1463 by Edward IV. After the iron industry moved into the North and Midlands, the Ironmongers Company shifted tack to works within philanthropy and education. Nestled within the Barbican estate the Ironmongers Company can be found on Shaftsbury Place, a little alley off Aldersgate. 11. The Vintner’s Company Vintners controlled the important wine trade in medieval England and its first charter of 1363 gave it a monopoly for trade with Gascony. As wine made up one third of all the imports at this time then controlling the trade route to a major wine production centre was important. We adore the ship taking it's place as the crest, a nod no doubt to wine coming from France to England, as well as the barrels on the crest (for French brandy and other spirits), and the elegant swans with their necklaces of grapes! It shows a bit of humor to go with the act of drinking! Today the Vintners Company still retains the right to sell wine without license in the City of London but a lot of its other purpose has changed to more charitable works. The Vintners Hall can be found on Upper Thames Street in London. 12. The Clothworker’s Company The Clothworkers were formed following the amalgamation of the Fullers and the Shearmen in 1528. 'Fullers' were people who prepared cloth ready to use by removing the impurities such as the grease and dirt, the process of ‘fullering’ would also thicken the cloth. 'Shearmen' were finishers of cloth and would further prepare the material ensuring that the surface of the material was even and loose fibres removed. This is one of three of the 'Great 12' liveries that uses a sheep or ram as its crest, and deservedly so as they worked on refining spun wool to create the highest quality fabrics of the times. They also have what appears to be a thistle on their shield, perhaps a nod to the Fullers having to remove impurities like thistles and burrs from the cloth. Also noted on the shield are ermine, perhaps to denote the high quality of their finished cloth, fit for royalty. The Clothmakers Hall is on Dunster Court in Mincing Lane. We hope you've enjoyed learning a bit about London's 12 Great Liveries, their history, and their wonderful coat of arms. If you have any comments or queries, please feel free to leave a comment!

The number of dogs and cats put to death in U.S. shelters is about one-fifth of what it was four decades ago. “They were euthanizing about 15 million pets back in 1970,” said Betsy McFarland, vice president of companion animals at the Humane Society of the United States. “We’re now down to about 3 million every year. Of course, that’s 3 million too many. But that is tremendous progress that’s been made over the last four decades.” During that same time period, the number of dogs and cats in the U.S. increased from 64 million to more than 160 million, according to Humane Society estimates. McFarland attributes the decline in euthanasia rates to spay/neuter campaigns targeted to underserved communities, better coordination among animal welfare organizations and changing social attitudes toward pets. “I mean pets are really considered part of the family,” McFarland said. “And that has been a shift over the many decades where maybe pets were a little more utilitarian.” Although the number of pets entering shelters has decreased nationwide, euthanasia rates at these shelters average close to 50 percent. But the Humane Society and other groups say their goal is to bring the number to zero, and they’re finding creative ways to head in that direction. More On This... How owning a dog can improve your health In the Atlanta area, the non-profit LifeLine Animal Project has helped two shelters lower their euthanasia rates from historic highs of 85 percent to less than 20 percent. LifeLine, which now manages shelters for Georgia’s DeKalb and Fulton Counties, brings its pets to adoption drives at shopping malls and other areas with large crowds. LifeLine also keeps many animals from entering shelters by offering “surrender counseling” to owners who are considering giving up their pets. “What we found was that so many of the calls from the people who wanted to surrender their pets, they didn’t actually want to surrender their pets,” said Debbie Setzer, Lifeline’s community outreach director. “They may have had some financial hardship where they couldn’t afford dog food. They may have had a fence complaint where the dog was getting out.” Pet owner Adrian Robinson, who’s already caring for a foster child and two adopted kids, says she felt overwhelmed when a highly energetic puppy joined her household. “Keno doesn’t know his own strength,” Robinson said. “He was running around, jumping on the kids.” LifeLine arranged free neutering, vaccinations and a training crate for Keno that helped calm him down and made it possible for Robinson to keep him. The mother and pet owner says she’s grateful to LifeLine’s staff for their assistance and advice. “I love them,” Robinson said. “They did something for me that I couldn’t do for myself.” Lifeline has helped other owners by repairing fences and helping them obtain donated pet food. “Anything that we can do to keep that animal from coming into the shelter, we’ll try to do,” said LifeLine CEO Rebecca Guinn. Before helping to create LifeLine, Guinn worked as a lawyer specializing in white-collar crime. While assisting a neglected dog in her neighborhood, she learned about the high euthanasia rates at her local shelter. Reducing those rates became her new passion (and full time job). “There are more pets in American households than there are children. So, they’re a part of our lives,” Guinn said. “The idea that we use taxpayer dollars to round them up and then end their lives, to me, is not the right way to do it. And we’re working on a model where a shelter is truly a shelter -- where the pets come in here, receive the care that they need and then can be re-homed -- and where the community at large becomes a better community for pets to live in.” Fox News' Chip Bell contributed to this report.

Today Haxe 2.04 was released. Thanks to the hard work of Hugh Sanderson, Haxe now have support for the C++ platform. It then mean that you can compile any Haxe program directly to C++, and get the performances of the one of the world fastest languages ! C++ support open also a lot of new possibilities for Haxe targets, including huge progress on running Haxe on iPhone In order to use the C++ platform, you will have to use the -cpp target, but before that you need to install the hxcpp library that contains all things needed to compile. This is easily done by running the following command : haxelib install hxcpp Now, you can simply write a small Haxe program : class Test { static function main ( ) { trace ( "Hello World !" ) ; } } And compile it with : haxe -cpp out -main Test This will give you a file out/Test.exe that when run will simply display Hello World . Easy, isn't it ? In order to go further, you can use the APIs that have been made accessible from Haxe/C++, they are fully listed on the Haxe API pages. It's of course possible to interoperate with other C++ programs, but these details will be soon documented. Actually, C++ is the 6th platform supported by Haxe, since there is already : Flash (for Flash Player versions <=8) Flash9 (AVM2, for Flash Player versions >= 9) Javascript Neko PHP ... and now C++ Which will be next one ? ;)

[JURIST] The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Tuesday that probable-cause warrants are not required to access cell phone location information. In a 2-1 decision, the Fifth Circuit reversed lower court decisions that said the location data was protected by the Fourth Amendment [Cornell LII backgrounder]. The court stated that warrantless access is “not per se unconstitutional” because mobile location data is “clearly a business record” and therefore unprotected by the Fourth Amendment. Authorities were requesting cellphone data under the Stored Communications Act [Cornell LII backgrounder], part of the Electronics Communications Privacy Act, which the court stated gives authorities the option of obtaining a court order, but does not require the higher standard necessary for a search warrant. The Fifth Circuit is the third federal appeals court to allow authorities to track mobile devices without a warrant. Courts and lawmakers remain divided on what types of warrants are required to perform cell phone searches. Last week the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled [JURIST report] that police must obtain search warrants before obtaining tracking information from cell phone providers, marking the first time a state supreme court has recognized a Fourth Amendment protection for cell phone location data.

One of Double J's founding staff members has passed away. ABC Journalist and Double Jay foundation staffer Mark Colvin has died at the age of 65, his family confirmed today. In January 1975, Colvin commenced work at the ABC as a reporter with new youth-oriented station Double Jay, the station that became triple j and that which we are named after. Colvin spent three years working at Double J, helping shape what it was to become for many years to follow. Soundcloud He went on to work with Foreign Correspondent, Four Corners and The World Today, as well as filling roles as correspondent for the UK and Europe for many years. Colvin's time at Double J coincided with the beginning the punk movement, a mammoth social and musical revolution that resonated with both the station's audience and staff. But Colvin remembered Double J as being a diverse place, not just a "Radio Birdman comes along and they've got this weird mixture of punk and surf and a whole lot of other weird stuff which is particularly Sydney and particularly Australian," he recalled. "On Double J what you get is this mix of really weird stuff. Not just the wall smashing punk but also lots of odd stuff. I remember a song called ‘Is God a Man?' by the Snivelling Shits, which has got really interesting lyrics. A whole bunch of out of leftfield stuff was being played. "The thing you've got to understand about Double J is that you never really knew what you were going to hear on any given shift. The idea of high rotation was just not there. People went on air with what they wanted to play." For the past 20 years, Colvin has been the host of the ABC's Current Affairs program, PM, where his tenacious interviewing and informative reporting positioned him as one of the leading journalists in the country. Colvin's health had been unstable for several years after contracting a rare blood disease – Wegeners Granulomatosis – while working on a story in Rwanda and Zaire in the mid-‘90s. Issues with his kidney meant Colvin was forced to receive dialysis three times per week while he waited for a donation. In 2012, Colvin received a kidney transplant from a friend he met while investigating the News Of The World phone hacking scandal. He allowed the ABC's Four Corners to film the process and invested considerable time and energy into advocating for organ donation. A theatre production about the transplant recently played in Melbourne. Mark Colvin returned to Double J in 2014 to present an episode of The J Files looking at the first decade of triple j. He narrated Double J/Radio National co-production, A Kangaroo Has Three Ears in 2015. In 2016, he joined us to remember his friend and colleague Mac Cocker. Soundcloud It was through the hard work of people like Mark Colvin that we can exist today. Our thoughts go out to Colvin's family and his huge number of friends and fans across the world.

Unification – Battle Pedant Skip to content Battle Pedant Being my Quora content, and therefore a bit random. Category: Unification If Northern Ireland voted to leave the UK, does the Republic have to take them? Would there be a poll in the south or would it just happen? Under the Good Friday Agreement, if there’s credible information that the majority of Northern Irish voters would vote to leave the UK, then the Northern Ireland Secretary of State is empowered to call a formal vote on the issue. The rest of the United Kingdom has no input. That is, Westminster cannot, in theory, stop or postpone Northern Ireland’s vote on the matter, nor can Westminster ignore or cancel the outcome, regardless of whether it’s stay or leave. Officially. However, the Tories, who are in power now, are the Conservative and Unionist Party. Extrapolating from their response to the SNP’s calls for another independence referendum for Scotland, they and their Northern Ireland Secretary may choose to be ‘blind’ to any and all credible information that the Northern Irish people want to leave the UK. A Labour Party government, or a coalition government without the Tories, is more likely to permit a border poll, but the chances of Labour forming a government at present, either alone or in coalition, seem remote. Similarly, under GFA, the Republic of Ireland can call a vote to decide whether or not to unite the two jurisdictions. As part of GFA, the Republic gave up its constitutional claim of jurisdiction over the island of Ireland, and officially see unification as a long term aim, subject to the wishes of the people of the island of Ireland. Again, depending on economic conditions, the Irish government might try to postpone a border poll, but, unlike the UK, none of the parties have a vested interest in preventing one taking place. If NI voted to stay in the UK, they stay, the result of a border poll in the Republic notwithstanding. If NI voted to leave, but the Republic voted against unification… I don’t know. I don’t know if the Republic would vote against unification. However, there would be a transitional period during which Northern Ireland’s exit was thrashed out: perhaps, if the Republic did vote against unity, that period could be extended so that further talks and negotiations could take place. Northern Ireland would not be in a comfortable place during that process, though. No change there… thornmaiden Ireland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Unification Leave a comment June 26, 2017 August 3, 2022 2 Minutes How many people in the Republic of Ireland want to join the United Kingdom? Realistically, none. Rhetorically, it gets bandied about occasionally. Some decades ago, during a period of economic implosion, the top chat show host in Ireland, Gay Byrne, used his weekly monologue to say that if Ireland and its people had any manners, they would hand the country back to the Queen of England, and apologise for its condition. In no way was Byrne serious – it was a device to express the disgust of the country with our leadership which had put us in such a disastrous economic position. It’s that sense in which rejoining the UK is mentioned – an expression of the utterly unthinkable, the last resort of the already damned. Rejoining the Commonwealth is a separate issue. The Commonwealth centres around the monarch, not the United Kingdom as a political entity, and many Irish people are quite fond of the Royals, as, for example, many Americans are, so the Commonwealth is perhaps more palatable to the Irish than the UK. We left at a pretty low point in British-Irish relations, but we might rejoin as relations improve. On the other hand, why fix something that isn’t broken? There isn’t the will now to make the change. Perhaps, if Ireland were re-united, rejoining the Commonwealth might be used as a sop to tender unionist feelings. Brexit makes either option virtually impossible, however. Ireland likes being in the EU, despite some whinges here and there. Rejoining the UK or the Commonwealth doesn’t really improve on Ireland’s EU membership, and could damage it. thornmaiden Hypothetical Scenarios, Ireland, UK, Unification Leave a comment June 25, 2017 August 3, 2022 1 Minute What will happen in Northern Ireland now that UK has voted to leave EU? Will they secede from UK and form their own country? or join the Republic of Ireland? or neither? Simple: Northern Ireland is comprehensively buggered. Slightly longer: NI will leave the EU, will not become an independent country, might get special EU-adjunct status because of the border with the Republic, and will in the fullness of time be re-united with the Republic (but not necessarily soon). Northern Ireland is heavily dependent on EU funding, and receives extra funding for projects related to the peace process and cross-border cooperation. The UK has done little to invest in the province over the years, and I see no prospect of Westminster replacing Northern Ireland’s funding out of their EU membership “savings”. Actually, I doubt any part of those “savings” will ever be seen again, but that’s another story. The majority here voted to Remain. Unfortunately, the Unionist parties – foolishly and shortsightedly – campaigned to Leave, and they have the majority vote at present. Only just, but a majority nonetheless. This means that the majority that voted to Remain has no representation on Brexit. The recent assembly elections here may indicate a sea-change in NI politics. We now have voters who were born after the Troubles, after the ceasefires and their breakdowns, after even the Good Friday Agreement. The endless green and orange wrangling means very little to them, and many of the rest of us are sick of it. We’re not quite at the point of abandoning our entrenched positions just yet, but we’re less enchanted with all the mud. The DUP could well lose their majority in the next round of elections. If that happens, the NI Secretary of State may well call a border poll. This probably won’t happen until after Brexit, though, so NI will be leaving the EU no matter what. The outcome of a border poll will therefore depend on the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland, which I imagine will not be good. It may be bad enough that the unionist voters would prefer being a roughly 20% minority in the Republic to being a less than 2% minority in a UK that can’t wait to be shot of them. The border situation might result in Northern Ireland getting special status within the EU. What that looks like is the most mysterious aspect of Brexit. I suspect it will look like a transitional arrangement until a border poll endorses Irish unification, though. thornmaiden Brexit, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Unification Leave a comment June 25, 2017 August 3, 2022 2 Minutes Looking for something in particular?

Rob Ninkovich’s versatility in the Patriots’ modified Fairbanks-Bullough 3-4 system was demonstrated exceptionally versus the Colts. According to ProFootballFocus, Ninkovich finished the AFC Championship game with a score of +9.2 with 6.6 of his points coming from his pass rush. In this game, he totalled four tackles, two QB hits and nine QB hurries constantly making his way into the backfield while setting the edge on running plays. In this breakdown, we will look at Ninkovich’s role in this system and how he fared in all aspects of his game versus the Colts. First, the Patriots run a modified version of the Fairbanks-Bullough 3-4 system. The original Fairbanks-Bullough system featured two gap assignments for the defensive lineman while allowing the linebackers to roam behind the larger body defensive lineman to collect tackles around the edge. The Patriots version of the system is even more flexible than the original stressing versatility in their defensive roles. In addition to the typical 3-4 roles, Belichick likes to shift defensive lineman to over and under positions creating a modified 4-3 to crowd the line of scrimmage to confuse the offense. In this defensive scheme, Ninkovich fills the role as a defensive end in the 4-3 unit, and outside linebacker in the 3-4 unit. Click here for a breakdown of Patriots Pass Defense versus Andrew Luck. Pass Rush At 6’2″ 260 lbs, Ninkovich is on the smaller side for a 4-3 defensive end or 3-4 outside linebacker. Traditionally, defensive ends or outside linebackers tend to be 2-4 inches taller. So what makes Ninkovich special in Belichick’s modified Fairbanks-Bullough 3-4 system? Let’s take a look at his pass rushing plays versus the Colts to determine this answer. Play 1 Situation: 2nd and 8 at IND 23 Description: Q1 – (14:21) (Shotgun) A.Luck pass incomplete short right to D.Allen. The Patriots line up with eight men on the line of scrimmage. This is a very confusing look for Luck. Instantly, Luck can determine that he has man-to-man coverage on the two wide receivers on the right, so the shallow cross route by the tight end is probably going to be his best bet. http://i.imgur.com/XRWahDx.png The Patriots drop three off of the line of scrimmage into zone coverage and one into man-to-man coverage on TE80 Fleener. Ninkovich lines up wide left and rushes around RT76 Reitz. In this play, Ninkovich uses his speed to engage with Reitz and then dips his interior hip to turn around the blocker. Luck sees the pressure and backfoots his throw leaving the ball short of his target. Play 2 Situation: 2nd and 8 at IND 34 Description: Q1 – (8:58) (Shotgun) A.Luck scrambles right tackle to IND 39 for 5 yards (D.Hightower). NE-D.Revis was injured during the play. Just like Play 1, Ninkovich rushes from the left outside and uses his speed to get around the right tackle forcing Luck to step up into the pocket. Luck uses his mobility to scramble outside and for a gain of five yards on the play. http://i.imgur.com/9gEXieQ.png The reason why I’m showing this play is to demonstrate Ninkovich’s individual effort and pursuit. After, Luck steps up into the pocket, Ninkovich works his way all of the way back around the formation. http://i.imgur.com/NDLBmTm.png Most defenders at this point would just give up and stay in the backfield recovering for the next play, but Ninkovich doesn’t quit his pursuit. Just love the individual effort on this play. Play 3 Situation: 2nd and 5 at NE 41 Description: Q1 – (6:01) A.Luck pass incomplete short right to J.Doyle (R.Ninkovich). The Colts run a packaged play that is very common to Seahawks and the Redskins fans alike. It is a play-action bootleg right where TE84 Doyle runs across the backfield to be Luck’s first read on the play in the flat. Ninkovich first reads the interaction between Luck and the runningback to make sure it’s not a running play seeing Doyle running to the right flat. http://i.imgur.com/LeOO2vp.png Ninkovich chips Doyle legally, since the contact is within five yards of the line of scrimmage. A technique very common among the Patriots linebackers as seen in our Forsett vs Patriots breakdown. http://i.imgur.com/h5RGXvm.png This chip slows down Doyle, but also it allows Ninkovich to get in the throwing lane of Luck to swat down the ball. Excellent stop on the play and great recognition of the play design. Play 6 Situation: 3rd and 10 at IND 33 Description: Q2 – (15:00) (Shotgun) A.Luck pass incomplete short right to T.Hilton (D.McCourty) [Cha.Jones]. Ninkovich lines up wide left and bull-rushes RT76 Reitz. This play demonstrates the power Ninkovich can develop and deliver while driving into the blocker. He also, places his hands with great technique on the inside shoulder pads of Reitz generating great leverage. The one improvement Ninkovich should make is that after he takes his three steps towards his target, Ninkovich stutter steps. This is something that doesn’t add anything to the pass rush and gives the right tackle more time to adjust his body to attack the angle more correctly. Excellent edge rushers like Kansas City’s Justin Houston take two to three steps toward their target and commit to the move without stutter-stepping. This should help Ninkovich penetrate better in the future. Play 10 Situation: 2nd and 10 at NE 23 Description: Q2 – (6:06) (Shotgun) A.Luck pass short left to C.Fleener ran ob at NE 12 for 11 yards [R.Ninkovich]. Ninkovich lines up wide left and speed rushes around the outside of the right tackle. Ninkovich starts more inside and then uses his arms to double-swipe away the hands of RT76 Reitz to get around him. For more details on the Double Swipe move read more in our Ryan Kerrigan – Double Swipe article. After Ninkovich makes it around the right tackle, he dips his right hip and continues to pursue Luck delivering a hit on the scrambling quarterback. Another play showing his excellent pursuit and effort. Please continue reading on the next page.

Sisters | Dykes Who Dare Dykes Who Dare lesbian fiction series characters' blog Menu Skip to content Home About DWD Contact Us Buy Our Books Search for: Category Archives: Sisters 5-Star Review for Sisters October 27, 2008 Book Reviews, SistersLesbian Book Review, Sisters book 5Kate Sutter Holy shit! The fifth book in the Lesbian Adventure Club series just got a 5-star review at Rainbow Reviews. All five got five stars. Put that in your Zig-Zag and smoke it! As always, another month has passed and it is time for another gathering of the Lesbian Adventure Club. This month the hosts are Alison and Janice which is especially fitting given what the women have been dealing with. There was an injunction hearing and Alison went to court to get a restraining order against her ex-girlfriend Lisa. Over the month the women of the group have given Alison as much support as they can and although Lisa has been silent, no one trusts that she is done. In order to trick Lisa, and keep their group meeting location secret, the story starts out with Kate, Susan, Laura, Janice and Ginny being quite stealthy, hiding their cars at various locations and creating diversions. When all the couples are finally together, what transpires isn’t the typical monthly adventure. For the first time, the women want to be the “Dykes Who Don’t Dare”. They want a fun weekend that is not overly competitive, to be able to relax and simply enjoy each other’s company. But what fun would that be? They begin by each woman writing down a worry onto a piece of paper that is then burned in the fire. Despite their worries, they each have a lot to be grateful for and the ceremony helps them see that. Then Alison and Janice reveal that the weekend will be filled with each woman getting to make one law that will last for an hour. And of course, there is a baby pink cowgirl hat with a silver star badge on the front to denote the current law maker. There will be no competition and the “beloved big-boobed bimbo babe” will remain with its current owners. What transpires is multiple rounds of Truth or Dare, jumps into the lake, overfilled hot tubs, crazy antics and bossy older sister rights. Unfortunately, the women quickly learn that Lisa knows where they are and it is suspected that she has broken the restraining order. All of the women band together to help protect Alison, especially detective Laura. She feels fiercely protective of the group of women, and holds herself personally responsible for making sure they are all safe. Laura is desperate to pin charges on Lisa to make it all stop so that Alison no longer has to be afraid. When some of Kate’s stuff is damaged or goes missing, Lisa’s stalking cuts very close to home and encroaches on their weekend. “Everything felt tainted to me … as though someone had spit on what was precious to us. I wanted to rewind the clock to yesterday in the cop shop parking lot. I wanted to start over, to do whatever necessary to keep what was ours untouched. I wanted Alison back. I wanted Janice back. I wanted to hold onto Claudia, tight. I wanted someone to stand up laughing and scream, “Got you, you b-words! We were only kidding!” I wanted it to be just another stupid game we made up, but it wasn’t.” In working together to protect one of their own, the women realize how strong they are and how dependent they have become on their group as a whole. They vow to remain family, sisters in every way, and to keep each couple together no matter what. Through the actions of an outsider trying to mess with one of the sisters, the bond between the women is further strengthened in every possible way. Sisters is a fabulous story about the relationships between each of the five couples as well as their bond as a group. Over time each couple has grown and changed, becoming stronger thanks to the relationships they have forged. There is a level of trust and love amongst the women that is evident through every story, most especially this one. I enjoy these characters so much, and know each time I pick up a new book that it will provide an adventure as well as a touching story about strong women. I enjoy following each of the couples but my personal favorites are Kate and Claudia as well as Laura and Holly. The love is so evident every time each couple is together and the friendship between the four of them is amazing to watch. These adventures are always filled with a wealth of humor, one of the many reasons why I enjoy them so much. I had to be careful not to laugh out loud on the train when reading about the “Crappie Cabin” and the “Celestial Symbiotic Slumber Chamber” lest I get strange looks from the other passengers. I always giggle at the use of “f-er” and “b-word” amongst the friends, each of which is either a “littermate” or a “crybaby”. And amongst the humor there are important life lessons such as, “when a naked woman is flying overhead preparing to cannonball, do not, under any circumstances, look up.” Who can possibly argue with that? I highly recommend this entire series for readers who enjoy adventure stories with wonderfully engaging characters. This story can be read on its own, but to fully enjoy and understand all the subtle references I encourage reading the stories in order. Scavengers, Ledge Walkers, Savages and Loose Sleuths are the first four books in the series and each is just as enjoyable as Sisters. What more can I possibly say about this series? Each addition is as good as the previous and is always an adventure. These characters have gone through so much and I hope Wraight continues the series for a while to come! Come on, Roz! Continue the series!

MILTON, Fla. - An Amber Alert was issued Wednesday for a missing 4-year-old Florida girl then canceled shortly before 1 p.m. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said the girl was found and is safe. Alanda McCoy was last seen in the area of the 6000 block of Berry Hill Road in Milton. Alanda was described as a white girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She is 3 feet tall and weighs about 40 pounds. She was last seen wearing a yellow spaghetti-strapped tank top, a light-colored skirt and blue flip flops. Alanda may be in the company of William Kavchak, who goes by the name Billy, officials said. Kavchak, 27, was described as a white man with black hair and brown eyes and 6 feet 2 inches tall. Alanda McCoy,4, and William Kavchak, 27, on the right. Authorities later released a photo of Kavchak and Alanda leaving a hospital. Kavchak may be traveling in a green 2007 Mercury Montego with the Florida tag Y53UNW. The vehicle may appear light blue in color and it has a dent on the right front passenger bumper. The tail lights have plastic covers with silver lines on them. Watch News 6 and stay with ClickOrlando.com for more on this story. Copyright 2017 by WKMG ClickOrlando - All rights reserved.

My mom — like all moms worth their mom jeans — is on a lifelong quest to get all of her children to move back home to Asheville, N.C., so we’re close enough for her to drop in on uninvited. She brought this up on the phone recently when I was bitching about the high cost of living in Seattle and how I’ll never be able to buy a house in this city. “I know where you can buy a house,” she said. “In fact, I’ve got one for sale. We’re downsizing.” “Can’t,” I told her. “I’m looking at property under an overpass. Besides, Asheville’s not safe. Haven’t you heard of danger days?” She hadn’t, but danger days occur when the heat index is 105 degrees or higher, and Asheville, my hometown is predicted to have 157 danger days by 2050 — second in number only to Charleston, W.V. It’s a terrifying thought: My parents moved to the mountains of North Carolina in the 1970s for the temperate climate — it was rarely too hot or too cold in those hills when I was a kid — but the climate is changing there, as it is the world over. Despite these sobering predictions, the current crop of leaders in my home state prefer to stick their heads in the sand rather than deal with the reality of climate change: In 2012, the state legislature banned research into climate change, proving that politicians are much like five-year-olds. They don’t like something? They just ignore it. But that’s not the only embarrassment. The internet was set aflame recently by the story of a small North Carolina town that rejected the construction of a solar farm after citizens voiced concerns that it would drive away young people, cause cancer, and kill vegetation. The kicker of the story was a quote from a local named Bobby Mann who was afraid that the panels would somehow deplete the sun of energy. It was a dumb thing to say, and the story spread widely, with Mann — rather unfairly — as the butt of the joke. Grist (me, specifically) was a part of that media: I called a solar expert and fact-checked the residents’ concerns. I won’t lie — I knew it was a bully’s move to pick on this town, but the opportunity to join the global media in poking my homeland in the side was too good to resist. And that’s because North Carolina deserves it. Things are bad back home. There was a conservative takeover in North Carolina in 2010, when Republicans won both the Senate and the House for the first time since 1898. Two years later, Pat McCrory took over the governor’s mansion, the first time a Republican has held the office in two decades. Before then, North Carolina had always been a little bit more liberal than most of the South — state politics were dominated by Democrats, and we even helped Obama win the national victory in 2008. But after 2010, all that has changed. In addition to the categorical denial of climate change by elected leaders, North Carolina’s ample natural resources have also suffered since Republicans took over. In 2014, 40,000 tons of toxic coal ash and 27 million gallons of wastewater spilled into the Dan River from a defunct Duke Energy coal plant. Subsequent investigations revealed the utility has over a dozen coal ash ponds leaking into watersheds across the state, which they have still failed to clean up. After the spill, the state imposed a $25 million fine on Duke Energy to clean up a single coal ash site, but in a shocking reversal, the NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) later privately negotiated the settlement down to $7 million for all coal ash sites in the state. Frank Holleman, attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, called the deal “a total surrender and collapse by DEQ” in an interview with Indy Week. Pat McCrory, by the way, worked for Duke Energy for 28 years, and the company gave $3 million to his Super PAC in 2014. There’s more. The story that should have blown up this week doesn’t have to do with a solar farm in a town with 800 residents. Rather, we should be talking about how Facebook has threatened to take their data center out of the state because North Carolina revoked tax credits for construction of renewable energy. “We are only considering states with strong policies and a determination to produce renewable energy,” a representative from the company said at the Paris climate talks. That, as it turns out, does not include North Carolina. It’s a shame — the solar tax credit generated over $700 million in the state in 2014, according to data from the N.C. Department of Revenue, while costing the state just $126 million. I asked my fellow North Carolina natives to share what they thought was the most shameful thing that has happened in the state since McCrory took over. Responses included: the recent appointment of Margaret Spellings, an openly homophobic member of the Bush administration, to head what was once one of the finest public university systems in the country (with a cushy base salary of $775,000); cutting food stamps for people without kids; making it a criminal offense to reveal what chemicals are used in fracking; making it legal to carry guns in bars; effectively reinstating segregation in public schools; and the infamous motorcycle abortion bill, which limited access to reproductive healthcare under the guise of a motorcycle safety law. Also under Republican leadership, North Carolina rejected Medicaid expansion, effectively denying healthcare to half a million residents. My home state is suffering, and so are the people in it. Luckily, North Carolina is full of people who care deeply about their state. Since 2013, thousands of North Carolinians have gathered on the lawn in front of the statehouse for Moral Mondays, peaceful demonstrations against state leaders. Last year’s Moral March was the largest racial-justice protest in the South since the Selma to Montgomery March in 1965, and attracted a crowd of over 80,000. For every rally in support of the Confederate Flag, there is another one opposing it. And even Republicans are pissed at what’s happening — Jason Thigpen, a state House veteran, recently changed his party affiliation after tiring of the extremist GOP platform. “I simply cannot stand with a Party where its most extreme element promote hate and division amongst people,” Thigpen said. People like Jason Thigben — and everyone who is working for change — show that there is still hope. There’s also an election coming up. But the truth is, it may already be won: North Carolina has one of the most gerrymandered maps in the country, with Democratic districts splintered into tiny fragments. The Republican stronghold is written into law. It’s clear from 3,000 miles away that North Carolina’s danger days are well underway. These are the things I think about when my mom brings up moving home: 100-degree days, rivers filed with toxins, and politicians who care more about money than people. It’s funny that it was Asheville’s native son who wrote You Can’t Go Home Again. Of course you can — the question is, why in the hell would you want to?

Fashion November 9, 2008 / Sidhu / 2 Comments Well, in my second attempt, finally i managed to watch the full movie. First the famous statement about the movie: it exposes the realities of fashion world. Period. Now as a movie, the first 1 hours is almost crap. People either are over-acting or not acting at all. It gets little better after 1 hour. In the acting department Kangana Ranaut does pretty well. Priyanka Chopra is ok types. Raj Babbar has a very small role to play. For the whole 2 hours 45 mins, i was thinking, when the heck its gonna end ? So you can think for yourself how good it is ? I won’t rate it more than 2 out of 5.

My Portion | Significant Encounters Significant Encounters "You are fearfully and wonderfully made" Menu Skip to content Home Welcome Encounters Under the Hill About Deborah Donations My Portion Jul27 Psalm 73:25-26 (NIV1984) 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. How can I get this some days, most even? But then there are days when it is far from me? Some days my flesh overwhelms me and I feel like my heart is not near to Him at all. I know that I know, That is to say I know in my knower, That whatever I feel, means nothing. What matters is that I act on what I KNOW to be true. Here is what I know to be true. The earth holds nothing for me. Oh there are momentary pleasures. They are hardly worth losing fellowship with my Heavenly Father over. I may feel weak in my heart and mind, But as stated earlier in this post, God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. I so want to look at that word portion. Portion. The Encarta English Dictionary defines it like this; Fraction, a part or a section of a larger whole Fate, an unavoidable event or part of somebody’s life Inheritance, a part of an estate that has been bequeathed to an heir The Thesaurus (English) calls it a piece or a share. The Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is quite a bit more descriptive. (Strong’s tells the root meaning of the original words in the Bible, verse by verse.) Part of it reads as follows; Result of search for “2505”: 2505 chalaq khaw-lak’ a primitive root; to be smooth (figuratively); by implication (as smooth stones were used for lots) to apportion or separate:–deal, distribute, divide, flatter, give, take away a portion, receive, separate self. 2506 cheleq khay’lek from 2505; properly, smoothness (of the tongue); also an allotment:–flattery, inheritance, part, X partake, portion. I still don’t know everything in this description, but I know that lots were like dice. So how they were thrown and how they landed determined how goods would be distributed. Now according to verse 25, this world has nothing I desire. Only God is my strength, and my portion. (The unavoidable part of my life, my fraction, my inheritance, my part, my piece.) Another verse I look at a lot is this one; Psalm 16:5-7 (NIV1984) 5 Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. 7 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. There! See it? There is that portion word again and this time it tells me that God has assigned my portion, and that He has made me secure. The boundaries He has secured for me fall into pleasant places. Mine is a delightful inheritance. I praise Him, He councils me, and instructs me even when I sleep. So. Let’s talk about what we know in our knower. What we need to see, learn, know is that regardless of how we FEEL, God has assigned us our inheritance. We do not have to earn it. We do not have to look for it. It has been assigned to us. We simply have to receive it. If I have a gift for you, you need only choose to receive it from me. It would not do either of us any good if we left it in the box. If you have relationship with God, It does not automatically mean that everything, Every day will come up roses. Quite frankly, we see the opposite a lot. People in deep relationship with God endure some pretty tragic stuff, Just as those who do not profess His name. The difference is that we know in their knower, That even in deep sadness, We can rest in pleasant places. We can choose to receive our portion from Him, We can watch Him use it for the greater good of those around us. We can see it as an opportunity for growth. We can use it to grow our “Faith muscle”. And God will receive glory. Then, assign some to us as part of our portion. I needed to hear these words today. So I preach them here to myself. I don’t FEEL it, but I know it. My portion from Him is enough. The world has nothing to even compare to His peace. * If you NEED a relationship with God the Father, And would like help learning how to receive His incredible portion and gift, Please click on the “Rescue” tab above for further assistance, And always remember, You are fearfully and wonderfully made. * Share this: Tweet Like this: Like Loading...
