logical innovations
This is a common response to the “why can’t we all just get along” question.
So what if you want to know more in a logical way? The answer is that the answer to that is probably “yes” because you are a smart person and there are a lot of people who seem to know more than you. It’s not as if we can just “get along” and do it all the way.
You may think that logic is a great way to get along, but it’s not. Logic doesn’t answer questions about your experience of reality. Logic is only one part of the equation. Sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself, “what’s the most logical thing I can do right now?” Sometimes the answer is sitting on the couch playing video games on a rainy day.
In a society where we are constantly learning about the world around us, logic is very important. The point is to make sure your actions are logical.
This is why logic is extremely important in an interactive environment. Logical thinking is a critical element of good logical thinking. It is also very important in any social context. The more you can understand the world around you, the more you are able to create the society that you want to live in. In a society where people are constantly talking, thinking, and arguing, the ability to be logical is a necessity.
In a logical world, people are allowed to make assumptions and draw conclusions based on the information they have at their disposal. It is important to take the time to reflect on the situation before acting. This isn’t just a philosophical concept, it is also a practical one. People with better logic will be able to make better decisions.
For example, a lot of people think that they can get a better deal from a better understanding about their lives by making assumptions and drawing conclusions based on the information they have at their disposal. The people who are the best at this type of thinking are the ones who are the ones who have the best idea for what they want to do. So, they will be able to make better decisions. We can think of ourselves as the best at this type of thinking.
This is why people often ask why we make decisions without considering all the possible outcomes. We’re not really making choices based on all of the information we have. We’re making choices based on our gut emotions and intuitions.
Sure, there are many different approaches to solving problems, but the more you think outside the box, the more likely your thinking is to be helpful. The problem is when you’re not thinking outside of the box, you’re not really thinking.
What kind of thinking is that? As with people, the best way to solve a problem is to figure out what your gut tells you. This is why I think a lot of times when we talk about getting smarter, we are only talking about our own thinking. Its not about thinking about the other people in the room, its about figuring out what feels like the best thing to do based on your thoughts. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12134 | {"url": "https://designrubicon.com/logical-innovations/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "designrubicon.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:03:22Z", "digest": "sha1:VM7CN5IRUMCHD5DAHNICHJCQALWS4TB2"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2974, 2974.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2974, 4383.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2974, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2974, 80.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2974, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2974, 129.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2974, 0.57165605]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2974, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2974, 0.04625736]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2974, 0.09503785]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2974, 0.09503785]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2974, 0.09503785]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2974, 0.04625736]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2974, 0.04625736]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2974, 0.01471825]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2974, 0.00756939]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2974, 0.01009251]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2974, 0.00318471]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2974, 0.11146497]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2974, 0.36813187]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2974, 4.35531136]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2974, 4.78319382]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2974, 546.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 50, 0.0], [50, 127, 1.0], [127, 389, 1.0], [389, 752, 1.0], [752, 902, 1.0], [902, 1323, 1.0], [1323, 1666, 1.0], [1666, 2123, 1.0], [2123, 2357, 1.0], [2357, 2596, 1.0], [2596, 2974, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 50, 0.0], [50, 127, 0.0], [127, 389, 0.0], [389, 752, 0.0], [752, 902, 0.0], [902, 1323, 0.0], [1323, 1666, 0.0], [1666, 2123, 0.0], [2123, 2357, 0.0], [2357, 2596, 0.0], [2596, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 30, 2.0], [30, 50, 2.0], [50, 127, 15.0], [127, 389, 58.0], [389, 752, 68.0], [752, 902, 27.0], [902, 1323, 73.0], [1323, 1666, 59.0], [1666, 2123, 87.0], [2123, 2357, 39.0], [2357, 2596, 41.0], [2596, 2974, 75.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 50, 0.0], [50, 127, 0.0], [127, 389, 0.0], [389, 752, 0.0], [752, 902, 0.0], [902, 1323, 0.0], [1323, 1666, 0.0], [1666, 2123, 0.0], [2123, 2357, 0.0], [2357, 2596, 0.0], [2596, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 50, 0.0], [50, 127, 0.0], [127, 389, 0.0], [389, 752, 0.0], [752, 902, 0.0], [902, 1323, 0.0], [1323, 1666, 0.0], [1666, 2123, 0.0], [2123, 2357, 0.0], [2357, 2596, 0.0], [2596, 2974, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 30, 0.03333333], [30, 50, 0.0], [50, 127, 0.01298701], [127, 389, 0.01145038], [389, 752, 0.01652893], [752, 902, 0.01333333], [902, 1323, 0.01187648], [1323, 1666, 0.01166181], [1666, 2123, 0.00875274], [2123, 2357, 0.01282051], [2357, 2596, 0.0083682], [2596, 2974, 0.01322751]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2974, 0.40866804]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2974, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2974, 0.0140478]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2974, -142.76298769]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2974, 90.01189393]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2974, -337.64021266]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2974, 33.0]]} |
Home›blog›look and feel
A look and feel is a way of defining a brand or product. A look and feel is the visual description of the product. You could describe a product by its look and feel, or the two together.
The look and feel are what sets a product apart from the rest of the pack. I can’t think of a brand that has looked and felt the way Deathloop has, so we’ll call it the look and feel of Deathloop.
The look and feel of Deathloop is definitely the visual style it has used to describe itself and its characters. I love the purple and blue color scheme of the game’s logo, and the black and white color scheme of its characters. The look and feel of the game that I first played was the simple and easy-to-impress black and white pixel art. I played it for a few hours and I wasn’t impressed.
The visuals of Deathloop are amazing. To my eyes, the game looks like it was designed by the people at the very top of the visual design business, and I wonder if there is any company that can say that. The game’s character art is really fantastic, too. While Deathloop’s character art is not as impressive as other games’ character art, it is still an impressive piece of art.
The game really takes a backseat to the game experience because while the game looks so amazing, it can really go some way to making it better. If you have a friend that’s on Deathloop, your friend’s car and vehicle-car combination can really turn him into some kind of superhero and your friend’s house-car combination into a great car-car combination.
The Deathloop experience is also very much about look and feel. The game looks amazing, but the game play is not. The game play is just amazing, but the game look is not. It’s very hard for me to believe that a game can look amazing, and be fun, but have the same game play as a great game.
You can look at Deathloop and say, “This looks cool, but I can’t play with my friends.” Or you can say, “I want to play with my friends,” and then just ask them to play with you instead. You can also look at the game and say, “This looks cool, but I can’t play with my friends, and the game play is terrible.” In either case, you have to ask them to play with you instead.
I can take you on a trip to my house. But I also know what I like to do when I get there. I also know that it’s not the same as me and my friends. And I also know that Deathloop isn’t me.
It is a great game to play with friends. But it is also bad. It takes a while for you to get used to it, so you have to ask them. They are just not interested in your story. It is just annoying. It is a nice game to play with friends. But I cant play with my friends.
I know this is a popular complaint of ours, but I think it has merit. Deathloop is a great game to play with friends. It just takes a while for you to get used to it, so you have to ask them. They are just not interested in your story. It is just annoying. It is a nice game to play with friends. But I cant play with my friends. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12135 | {"url": "https://designrubicon.com/look-and-feel/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "designrubicon.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:11:32Z", "digest": "sha1:VALJKDN7VLJZ77J2ARZ2XJSEW26DYJGH"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2982, 2982.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2982, 4404.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2982, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2982, 80.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2982, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2982, 198.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2982, 0.53267045]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2982, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2982, 0.16637931]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2982, 0.26034483]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2982, 0.2375]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2982, 0.21465517]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2982, 0.19137931]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2982, 0.16637931]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2982, 0.03318966]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2982, 0.03793103]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2982, 0.02413793]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2982, 0.02982955]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2982, 0.12784091]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2982, 0.29679595]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2982, 3.91231029]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2982, 4.55689852]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2982, 593.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 211, 1.0], [211, 408, 1.0], [408, 801, 1.0], [801, 1179, 1.0], [1179, 1533, 1.0], [1533, 1824, 1.0], [1824, 2197, 1.0], [2197, 2385, 1.0], [2385, 2653, 1.0], [2653, 2982, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 211, 0.0], [211, 408, 0.0], [408, 801, 0.0], [801, 1179, 0.0], [1179, 1533, 0.0], [1533, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 2197, 0.0], [2197, 2385, 0.0], [2385, 2653, 0.0], [2653, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 24, 3.0], [24, 211, 38.0], [211, 408, 41.0], [408, 801, 74.0], [801, 1179, 69.0], [1179, 1533, 60.0], [1533, 1824, 59.0], [1824, 2197, 76.0], [2197, 2385, 44.0], [2385, 2653, 59.0], [2653, 2982, 70.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 211, 0.0], [211, 408, 0.0], [408, 801, 0.0], [801, 1179, 0.0], [1179, 1533, 0.0], [1533, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 2197, 0.0], [2197, 2385, 0.0], [2385, 2653, 0.0], [2653, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 211, 0.0], [211, 408, 0.0], [408, 801, 0.0], [801, 1179, 0.0], [1179, 1533, 0.0], [1533, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 2197, 0.0], [2197, 2385, 0.0], [2385, 2653, 0.0], [2653, 2982, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.04166667], [24, 211, 0.01604278], [211, 408, 0.02030457], [408, 801, 0.0178117], [801, 1179, 0.01851852], [1179, 1533, 0.00847458], [1533, 1824, 0.01718213], [1824, 2197, 0.02680965], [2197, 2385, 0.04787234], [2385, 2653, 0.02985075], [2653, 2982, 0.02735562]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2982, 0.93214601]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2982, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2982, 0.91657919]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2982, -90.64661133]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2982, 89.47264043]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2982, -406.62973855]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2982, 41.0]]} |
It is an exciting time to be a nutritionist in Africa – in a profession that is “IN”, working in a continent that has an opportunity to show that it can turn the negative into a positive; that it can deliver. Ke Nako. But I also have a deep-seated fear that we might only continue with the endless talk and eloquent orations of the past few years and not turn the promises and commitments into actions. This opportunity – just as we refer to the 1,000 days window of opportunity – will not come again. We in nutrition in Africa have this one opportunity to turn words into actions. At a recent meeting, I was challenged by Mrs Graça Machel not to lump Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, together, and to acknowledge that some countries are making good progress towards the Millennium Development Goals, while others are seriously lagging behind. The difference between those moving forward and the laggers lies in true leadership that knows, quoting the words of John Ruskin, that “What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence – the only consequence is what we do.”

The Lady Chapel - The Royal Air Force Chapel
At the eastern end of the magnificent Lady Chapel built by King Henry VII is a chapel dedicated to the men of the Royal Air Force who died in the Battle of Britain between July and October 1940. This chapel received damage from bombs which fell in that year and a hole made in the stonework has been preserved and covered with glass. The Tudor glass in the window had also been blown out at the same time.
The Dean of Westminster was approached early in 1943 by Mr N. Viner-Brady who suggested the idea of a memorial to "The Few" and Dean Labilliere chose this small chapel as one suitable for the purpose. Lord Trenchard (Marshal of the RAF) and Lord Dowding (who led Fighter Command during the Battle) headed a committee to raise funds for the furnishing of this chapel and for a stained glass window. The English walnut altar was designed by A.E. Richardson with sculptured figures of King Arthur and St George (although an embroidered frontal usually covers them). The silver cross, candlesticks and rails were designed by J. Seymour Lindsay. The chapel was unveiled by King George VI on 10 July 1947.
The Battle of Britain memorial window
The stained glass window, by Hugh Easton, contains the badges of the fighter squadrons that took part in the Battle. In four panels are shown visions which symbolize the Redemption. In one a squadron leader kneels before the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. Below this she is represented in her sorrow with the dead Christ across her knees (a symbol of the sacrifice of the mothers and widows of those who died in the conflict). On the opposite side a panel shows a sergeant pilot kneeling before the Cruficifixion (a symbol of the sacrifice of the pilot himself). Lastly, above this, is the Resurrection seen by a pilot officer (representing the pilots' triumph).
Seraphim, with six wings and with hands outstretched to paradise, are shown in the top row of the window. In the central section are the Royal Arms, the badge of the Fleet Air Arm and the badge and motto of the RAF "Per Ardua ad Astra" (Through struggle to the Stars) together with the furled flags of New Zealand, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Belgium, and the United States of America. In two of the bottom panels are words from Shakespeare's Henry V "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers". Painted on the stonework below the glass are the names of six RAF war leaders (added in 1989). Trenchard and Dowding are buried in this chapel.
Badges in the window including Polish squadrons
The Roll of Honour
The Roll of Honour, illuminated by Daisy Alcock and given by Captain Bruce Ingram, contains the names of l,497 pilots and aircrew killed or mortally wounded during the Battle, of which 449 were in Fighter Command (whom the window specially commemorates), 732 in Bomber Command, 268 in Coastal Command, 14 in other RAF commands and 34 in the Fleet Air Arm. The names include those of 47 Canadians, 47 New Zealanders, 35 Poles, 24 Australians, 20 Czechoslovaks, 17 South Africans, 6 Belgians and one American, as well as those from the United Kingdom and Colonies.

Battle of Britain Sunday services
A Service of Thanksgiving for the victory gained in the Battle of Britain has been held annually in the Abbey since 1944. The victory in the air over the German Luftwaffe was the major factor in forcing Hitler to postpone and eventually abandon his invasion of Britain.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill said of these men on 20th August 1940 "The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen, who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the world war by their prowess and devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".

The Nile River is a river that flows in Northeastern Africa. The Nile River is known for its length as the longest river in the world. The Nile River passes through eleven countries, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan, and Egypt (Pedersen). The Nile River supplies these countries with water and fertile soil. The Nile River floods during season and helps out with the harvesting of the crops that are grown beside it, too much flooding though, can cause serious damage to the crops. In order to know when the Nile River would flood the Ancient Egyptians measured the depth systematically. In a land with so little rainfall, this flooding was essential for the well-being of the crops.
One of the first forms of measurement of Nile River depth was the nilometer, this was very similar to sticking a ruler inside a glass of water and measuring. They had “…a vertical column submerged in the waters of the river, with marked intervals indicating depth of the water.” (Kaushik). This was a very simple but rather effective technique for measuring the depth of the river. Later on they got a little more complex and began building “…a flight of stairs leading down into the water, with depth markings along the walls” (Kaushik). The communities that lived by the Nile River suffered for some time when the river would not flood because of the lack of rainfall in Africa.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Egyptians decided to start building what was known as the Old Aswan Dam or the Aswan Low Dam. This dam was completely built by 1902, but had to be raised twice before they decided to build the Aswan High Dam. These dams were built with the idea of being able to control the river floods and generating hydroelectricity. The construction of these dams developed a whole new aspect to irrigation. Before the construction of the dams the yearly floods were sort of unpredictable, some years it would be just the perfect amount to make great fertile soil, but sometimes it was too much and would wipe out the whole field. Sometimes it did not flood and therefore still ruined the crops by draught. The dams primary purpose was to help regulate the floods (egitalloyd.com). The Old dam was the first attempt at something so great in the whole world, it had it mistakes and was later on of no use, only used to control tailwater for the High Dam. The High Dam provided many benefits for the community. It efficiently controlled the dangerous floods and the droughts. The High Dam also provided a significant increase in farmland. The High Dam also provided great hydroelectricity, “When the dam first reached peak output it produced around half of Egypt’s entire electricity production and allowed most Egyptian villages to use electricity for the first time” (egitalloyd.com). The Aswan High Dam became a large part of the Egyptian population and is till today very important.
Recently the Nile River suffered a catastrophic event. Due to high amounts of heavy rain, this eminent water supply has turned brown due to all the soil that has been swept into the waterway. This massive flood has called to action of filtering the water for almost all of Egypt. Not only did it ruin the Nile but “…the floods caused power outages, displaced hundreds of people, and swept away dozens of cars…” (Associated Press). This is a great disaster because the government is not doing much about it, and many people are dependent on the river’s water and hydroelectricity.
The Nile River is very popular and most people know about it. When I encountered the Nile Gauge Readings chart in the Egyptian Gazette I was intrigued. The chart is big and catches everyone’s attention, therefore it caught mine. The chart does not explain what form of measurement they use to calculate the numbers provided, it just states the different places where they measure from. It totals up to eleven different measurements. Some of the measurements vary greatly from the others, which is crazy to me. This chart is meant to provide all the measurements for the whole month in the last issue of the month, but every week posts the readings for that particular week. The Nile Gauge Readings chart seems to be a complicated and therefore it was very hard to research much on it. In order to find typed information on other weeks I decided to go through the already completed weeks listed on the github website, when I looked through these markdown text and looked for “Nile Gauge Readings” many of these weeks did not have a chart at all. I understand filling out this chart is definitely a pain because of the many numbers associated so I decided to look for at least one that was complete. I found a complete chart on the 23rd of September in page 5. This chart because it was later in the month it had much more data than mine. This chart also had a different structure, it actually had comparison right next to each other of the levels of the water in 1905 and in 1904.
In most regions where the water level was measured it is seen that the differences in the numbers are minimal, some fluctuate by one, but not too much. By this data it can be assumed that the Nile River was rather predictable over the years and that is why people knew when the floods were soon coming. Comparing my chart from May to this chart from September the measurements are lower except in the “Assouan Reservoir” where the measurements were actually higher for the month of May.
Overall the Nile River was something very interesting to research about, although not many things were available, especially for the early 20th century. I made this paper more about the history of the Nile River in general and incorporated as much information as I could on the Nile Gauge Readings from the Egyptian Gazette. Overall I believe translating the newspaper in the microfilm to actual readable and researchable text is a great first step in learning about how life was back then.

Bill Maher: bitcoin like Monopoly money
According to Bill Maher, bitcoin is like Monopoly money. He said this in recent days during the Real Time with Bill Maher programme on HBO.
In one of the last episodes, the comedian and host addressed the issue of cryptocurrencies, starting with an anecdote: one in 10 US citizens has used the economic stimulus received to invest in crypto. And the landscape is vast. There is bitcoin, which is the best known, but there is also Ethereum, Tether and the more extravagant ones, among which he mentions “Cum rocket” (cum: sperm) and Dogecoin, which, he adds, was born as a joke.
However, he adds:
“As far as I can tell, it’s exactly the same as all the other cryptocurrencies because the whole thing is a joke”.
Cryptocurrencies according to Bill Maher
The US monetary system, says Bill Maher, is not perfect but at least it is real. He gives practical examples of this: Apple’s shares are worth something because there’s a company behind them that makes mobile phones, and it doesn’t matter if the people who buy them later drop them down the toilet.
Apple contrasts perfectly with Dogecoin:
“Dogecoin recently rallied to be worth more than the market cap of Ford and Kraft Foods and it has no product and no workers, it’s just easter bunny cartoon cash”.
Although it has been explained to him what cryptocurrencies are, Bill Maher, to the applause and hilarity of his audience, claims not to understand it. He then goes on to tell the story of Bitcoin which began with nerds.
“In 2008 one of them, we don’t know who because this person or group of persons is still anonymous, made up bitcoin out of thin air using the fake name Satoshi Nakamoto, which I think are the Japanese words for monopoly money”.
The host goes on to argue that capitalism is money that generates other money, but this money is generated by something real. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, show us that this is not the case.
Bill Maher merely echoes Warren Buffett’s thesis. The Oracle of Omaha argued in no uncertain terms that cryptocurrencies are worth zero. And then he recalls how Nassim Taleb also called crypto a Ponzi scheme.
The problem, he says, is that people who have grown up in a virtual world also believe they can live in it. And in a world where war has become a video game, he explains:
“Cryptocurrency is literally a game. Bitcoins are created by what they call mining”.
Where mining, he adds, is not that of the seven dwarfs and Snow White, but a complex algorithmic calculation that in a nutshell involves one miner in China and another living in the world of the Matrix. But since there is nothing underlying Bitcoin, in his words:
“It’s like Tinkerbell’s light, its power source is based solely on enough children believing in it”.
What is real, he says, is the energy Bitcoin consumes, which would be enough to light up the entire state of New York. A single transaction consumes more energy than a million Visa transactions, and has the same coal demand needed to watch 85,000 hours of YouTube videos. Bill Maher verdicts:
“Bitcoin uses more energy than Netflix, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Google combined”.
His point becomes even more irreverent when he implicates Tesla by questioning why a company that saves the world by producing electric cars, then destroys it by investing in this energy-consuming money.
The conclusion of his argument is that all those who belong to Generation Z, the millennials, the Silicon Valley, are not environmentalists but money-hungry opportunists who cannot be allowed to say that they care about the environment since Bitcoin can push the temperature up by 2°.
What Bill Maher doesn’t say about Bitcoin
In his 8-minute monologue against Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, Bill Maher omitted some details. The value of Bitcoin is determined by supply and demand and as long as there is someone willing to pay for even a fraction of Bitcoin, Bitcoin will not be worth zero.
Moreover, the problem of Bitcoin’s electricity consumption is a major one, also within the much-mocked Silicon Valley. Behind one of the projects for mining Bitcoin with clean energy, there is another nerd, if one wants to call him that, who goes by the name of Jack Dorsey with his company Square.
This, however, Bill Maher did not mention.

The Chain Breaker
Wednesday August 21st, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL
For one million dollars free and clear in unmarked $50 bills, I couldn’t honestly tell you what I did on my 18th birthday. That was such a long time ago now it just blends in to the big blur that is life. One would assume it should be a special event to be cherished forever, but it wasn’t for me.
I know what I didn’t do. I didn’t get high or drunk, as that’s never been my style. I didn’t have any parties or celebrations either. There was no big family get together or anything like that. My life was never ‘normal’, and by that time it was already going in a different direction than most.
That direction was south. I was on my own by 17, having to scrape together a living by night as I finished high school during the day. I seriously thought about dropping out, but my grandfather was in the final stages of cancer and made it his last request that I finish. My father dropped out, and Gramps was completely embarrassed by it. I didn’t want to cause him more pain so I did it.
I started my adult life in a big hole, and I’ve been digging my way out ever since. I had no time to party and chase chicks like most other kids my age, so I did what I had to do to survive. By the time I was 21 I was already getting started in comedy, and it was a long uphill climb from there.
My birthday is in March, and Gramps died in December of the year I turned 18. That’s when I needed him most, but too bad for me. When he died, the already delicate relationships I had with the rest of the family collapsed immediately and World War III broke out in full bloody combat.
My belligerent old man who was never there for me suddenly tried to step in and call the shots in my life and that went over like an accordion in Led Zeppelin. At first I tried the polite route to make an attempt at a father-son relationship, but that lasted just a few weeks before it got ugly.
I don’t take bullies well, and that’s exactly what that bastard was – especially to anyone weaker or smaller than him. He treated all of his children like personal property, and I for one absolutely refused to take it. I got in his face, and the more I stood up to him the more he would back down.
It’s never a pleasant time to be at war with one’s father, but that was an especially volatile time to be in that situation. Adolescence and puberty and all that goes with them are difficult enough, but not having parental support makes it downright scary. I’m surprised I didn’t turn to booze or drugs or crime, but I didn’t. For whatever reason, that just wasn’t in me. It’s not my personality.
I vowed I was going to prove to everyone – especially the cantankerous ogre that was supposed to be a nurturing father and not my most hated enemy – that I was better than where I came from, and I wasn’t going to let anyone take my life or my dreams away from me. I chased the showbiz dream thinking I’d ace it in a hurry, but that provided a whole new set of political games to play.
I made a ton of mistakes in comedy, but there was nobody there to reel me in. Gramps was the one steadying mentor figure in my life, but he was long gone at the time I needed guidance most. I made my choices with very limited perspective, and it launched my life path on an unnecessary detour that diluted my dream. With all of that on my plate, I’m surprised I made it as far as I did.
What really hurt was the bubbling cauldron of anger I carried with me for so many years. I lost years of productive time I should have been growing and learning to focus on getting revenge on a psychopath who shouldn’t have had children in the first place. What a useless waste of youth.
The reason I’m trudging up all this ancient mud from the past is my friend Max Bumgardner’s son Dustin turned 18 today. I couldn’t be more proud of Dustin if he was my own son – and Max is as high on my list as anyone can get. He’s one of my closest confidants and has been for years.
Not only do I think Max is unbelievably talented and one of the smartest people I know – he is also a big time dented can. Max’s father is frighteningly similar to mine, and I knew right away when we first met that we were kindred spirits. Max has fought his whole life to break out of his father’s shadow, and his path has been no easier than mine. It’s like trying to sprint in knee deep sloppy mud while carrying two full bags of groceries and a watermelon. It’s an impossible task.
Max and I became close when we worked on the morning show at 97.9 ‘The Loop’ in Chicago in 2004, but after we got fired we became even closer. He struggled with a lot of the same issues I did, and more than a few times we’d talk each other off a cliff when things got really difficult.
We kept each other going, and were one of the few people the other could go to when life took a nasty turn. Dented cans can only relate to the pain of other dented cans, much like women trade stories about how painful their pregnancies were. I can sympathize, but I can’t truly empathize.
I knew exactly where Max’s pain was coming from, and he knew mine. I never met his father, but we talked on the phone a few times on the radio. He actually seemed kind of nice, but that’s a very common trait of psychotic tyrants. Ted Bundy was nice enough to lure his victims to where he could do his deeds, and that was it. It was an act. My father often appeared gentle to outsiders.
The pride of Max’s life has always been his two kids Dustin and Skylar. I have watched them both successfully grow from cute kids to solid young adults. Max has gone out of his way to be a world class father, and he has done a spectacular job. I remember sitting with Max and Dustin at a Bears game in Chicago in 2004, and what a beautiful father-son moment it was for those two.
Max tells me all the time that Dustin looks up to me as an uncle figure. He plays my CDs over and over and Max told me I’m his ‘personal Rodney Dangerfield’. I remember how much I loved Rodney when I was that age, and to be put in that class is as flattering as it gets. I’m very grateful to have had Max and his family as friends all this time, and to see Dustin turn 18 is a major thrill.
I don’t see Dustin all that often these days, but through the years we’ve enjoyed all kinds of fun times. I could see at an early age he was a wonderful kid filled to the brim with potential. He has an extremely sharp mind and is a gentle and loving soul – just like his dad. He’s got all the tools.
He will have problems as we all do, but there won’t be that ugliness that goes with being from a rotten family situation. Any of us who have been through it know how sickening it is, and those who didn’t never truly will. I’m glad they won’t, and wish nobody had to. It’s not how I thought life should be – but for some of us it is. Dustin Bumgardner caught a break, and I’m glad he did.
Max and I are always going to have deep scars of a painful childhood, but he showed courage to the tenth power for not turning right around damaging his own kids. It takes guts to break the chain of dysfunction, and Max has totally done it. I couldn’t be more delighted to see it happen.
I called and left Dustin a message wishing him a happy birthday and telling him how proud he has made both his parents and me, and I meant every word of it. Max said it was a special day in his life, and he’s already ahead of ours by light years. Good for him. Dustin is the chain breaker.

Williams et al v. Ford Motor Company
MEMORANDUM OPINION re: #22 MOTION to Exclude the Opinion Testimony of Plaintiffs' Expert John Huffman filed by Defendant Ford Motor Company; motion is GRANTED. Signed by District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr on 7/25/13. (CSG)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI SOUTHEASTERN DIVISION SYBIL WILLIAMS and, JOSH NORWOOD, Plaintiffs, vs. FORD MOTOR CO., Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No. 1:12-CV-108 SNLJ MEMORANDUM This matter is before the Court on defendant Ford Motor Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment (#24) and Motion to Exclude the Opinion Testimony of Plaintiffs’ Expert John Huffman (#22), both filed May 1, 2013. The motions have been fully briefed and are now ripe for disposition. I. Case Summary The following facts are undisputed, except where indicated. The plaintiffs’ decedent, Steven Williams, was killed while jump starting a 1999 Ford Taurus sedan in the course of his employment with Dixie Auto Sales, Inc. (“Dixie”). Defendant Ford Motor Co. (“Ford”) manufactured the vehicle, and Bufford Dirt Cheap Auto Sales, Inc. (“Bufford”) had, a month before the accident, sold the used vehicle to Dixie under “as is” terms of sale.1 On March 24, 2008, Mr. Williams was using a screwdriver to jump start the car by connecting the two terminals of the starter solenoid; by doing so, Mr. Williams bypassed the 1 Bufford was previously named as a defendant in this case, which was then No. 1:10cv57. Because Bufford’s presence in the case destroyed diversity, this matter was remanded to state court. Bufford is no longer a defendant, and Ford thus removed this case back to this Court. functioning Transmission Position Switch (“TPS”) which is partly designed as a safety switch that prevents operators from starting the vehicle unless the vehicle’s transmission is in Neutral or Park. The car started in a Drive gear and ran over Mr. Williams, which resulted in his death. As of the date of the accident, the Taurus’s gear shifter could move from position to position, but moving the shifter did not result in any change of gear selection. The transmission remained in the same gear that it was in (apparently a Drive gear) regardless of the shifter’s position. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the Taurus’s gear shift cable had become loose from the transmission, which permitted the gear shifter itself to move freely without actually shifting the car’s gears. The gear shift cable connects to the transmission with a plastic-like clip (the “shift actuator cable fitting”) and a metal bracket. The parties agree that, sometime before the accident, the transmission and engine had both been replaced with components from a different vehicle. Ford’s experts testified that, probably during the course of the removal and replacement of the transmission and engine, the metal shift cable bracket had been bent. Then, as a result, the shift cable was improperly assembled to the shift cable bracket, and the bent bracket caused the shift cable to be improperly secured. As a result, the shift cable became loose, which allowed the shift selector lever to move freely between gear positions and prevented the transmission from being placed into Park. Plaintiffs’ expert, John Huffman, testified that the shift actuator cable fitting and the shift cable itself were defective, causing the car to be in an unknown gear. Mr. Huffman opined that the “plastic” clip used to hold the cable to the bracket was defectively designed, that it should have been a nut and bolt or other more robust fastener. Ultimately, plaintiffs state that their expert concluded that “the cause of the accident was the gear shift indication on the dashboard showing 2 park when the vehicle was actually...in drive, and that occurred because the shift cable was not properly retained to its bracket.” At his deposition, Mr. Huffman testified that the bracket did not appear bent when he examined it, but he agreed that he would have no reason to dispute that the bracket was, in fact, bent. The first owner of the Taurus traded the car in and observed that the car’s “service engine” light had been on at least three times during his ownership, and that the light had been on for two weeks when he traded the car in. At some point in the car’s history, the car was owned by Ford Motor Credit, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford, and former defendant Bufford purchased the car from Ford Motor Credit before selling it “as is” to Dixie. II. Legal Standard Courts have repeatedly recognized that summary judgment is a harsh remedy that should be granted only when the moving party has established his right to judgment with such clarity as not to give rise to controversy. New England Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Null, 554 F.2d 896, 901 (8th Cir. 1977). Summary judgment motions, however, “can be a tool of great utility in removing factually insubstantial cases from crowded dockets, freeing courts’ trial time for those that really do raise genuine issues of material fact.” Mt. Pleasant v. Associated Elec. Coop. Inc., 838 F.2d 268, 273 (8th Cir. 1988). Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(c), a district court may grant a motion for summary judgment if all of the information before the court demonstrates that “there is no genuine issue as to material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Poller v. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., 368 U.S. 464, 467 (1962). The burden is on the moving party. Mt. Pleasant, 838 F.2d at 273. After the moving party discharges this burden, the nonmoving party must do more than show that there is some doubt as to the facts. Matsushita 3 Elec. Industrial Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586 (1986). Instead, the nonmoving party bears the burden of setting forth specific facts showing that there is sufficient evidence in its favor to allow a jury to return a verdict for it. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 249 (1986); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 324 (1986). In ruling on a motion for summary judgment, the court must review the facts in a light most favorable to the party opposing the motion and give that party the benefit of any inferences that logically can be drawn from those facts. Buller v. Buechler, 706 F.2d 844, 846 (8th Cir. 1983). The court is required to resolve all conflicts of evidence in favor of the nonmoving party. Robert Johnson Grain Co. v. Chem. Interchange Co., 541 F.2d 207, 210 (8th Cir. 1976). With these principles in mind, the Court turns to the discussion. III. Discussion Plaintiffs brought two claims against Ford: (1) defective product, and (2) failure to warn of a defective and unreasonably dangerous condition. Ford seeks summary judgment on both claims. Notably, Ford brought a motion for summary judgment before the state court as well, and the state court denied that motion; however, neither party opines on the effect of the state court summary judgment denial. Because that denial of summary judgment was an interlocutory order, however, it may be reconsidered at any time. See Myers v. Moore Engineering, Inc., 42 F.3d 452, 455 (8th Cir. 1994). In addition, according to plaintiffs, Ford’s motion before this Court relies on additional argument not presented to the state court. A. Defective or Unreasonably Dangerous Product Plaintiffs’ complaint does not articulate whether their product liability claim is brought under strict liability or negligence theories, but the parties have proceeded as though plaintiffs’ 4 claim is brought solely under strict liability. The parties also agree that Missouri law applies to plaintiffs’ claims. To recover on a strict liability theory for an allegedly defective product, a plaintiff must establish that: (1) the defendant sold the product in the course of its business; (2) the product was then in a defective condition unreasonably dangerous when put to a reasonably anticipated use; (3) the product was used in a manner reasonably anticipated; and (4) plaintiff was damaged as a direct result of such defective condition as existed when the product was sold. Jasinski v. Ford Motor Co., 824 S.W.2d 454, 455 (Mo. Ct. App. 1992); Jones v. Ryobi, Ltd., 37 F.3d 423, 424 (8th Cir. 1994) (applying Missouri law). The fourth element — causation — is at issue here. Plaintiffs must prove that their “injury was the direct result of a defect that existed when the product was sold.” Leonard v. Bunton Co., 925 F. Supp. 637, 642 (E.D. Mo. 1996). Further, plaintiffs have the burden of proof to show that “the product was defective at the time it entered into the stream of commerce and that neither [they] nor any third person has made alterations to the product that would create a defect that could be the proximate cause of the damages incurred.” Boyer v. Bandag, Inc., 943 S.W.2d 760, 763 (Mo. Ct. App. 1997); see also Jones, 37 F.3d at 424; Jasinski, 824 S.W.2d at 455; Williams v. Deere & Co., 598 S.W.2d 609, 612 (Mo. Ct. App. 1980). However, “[s]ubsequent changes or alterations in a product do not relieve the manufacturer of strict liability if the changes were foreseeable and did not render the product unsafe.” Boyer, 943 S.W.2d at 763 . Ford argues that the accident was caused by the bent bracket and subsequent improper assembly of the shift cable, which is a condition that did not exist at the time of the Taurus’s manufacture. Plaintiffs state that the design of the shift actuator fitting (the “plastic clip” that 5 held the shift cable to the bracket) was the cause of the accident. Thus plaintiffs contend they have at least raised a question of material fact. Plaintiffs, who, again, have the burden to show there had been no alterations to the vehicle that could have caused the accident, make four arguments in support of their position that summary judgment should be denied. Each is discussed below. 1. Whether the bracket was bent. Plaintiffs dispute even that the bracket was bent. However, they do not support their dispute with any citation to evidence. Notably, their expert, Mr. Huffman, did not notice that the bracket was bent when he inspected the car, but and does not affirmatively opine that the bracket was intact. Indeed, he agreed that he has no reason to dispute that the bracket was bent. Accordingly, this is not a genuine issue of material fact. Further, as discussed below, Mr. Huffman’s testimony will be excluded from evidence. 2. Whether Ford was responsible for the bent bracket. Plaintiffs respond that even if the bracket had been bent, it might have occurred when Ford Motor Credit repossessed the vehicle or during assembly (nearly 10 years before the accident). As to the possibility that Ford Motor Credit possessed the vehicle when the modifications were made, that argument is a red herring: Ford Motor Credit is a separate legal entity from the defendant Ford Motor Company, and Ford Motor Credit is not a party to this 6 lawsuit.2 Plaintiffs suggest that one of Ford’s dealers may have caused the bent bracket, but, again, Ford dealers are separate legal entities, and no Ford dealership is a party to this case. As for whether the bracket was bent during assembly of the vehicle — nine years before the accident — Ford’s experts state that the modifications and bent bracket occurred after the car left Ford’s control, probably when the engine and transmission were replaced. Plaintiffs have not cited any deposition testimony, discovery responses, or affidavits to support that a genuine dispute exists here. The only testimony cited by plaintiffs to support that the bracket was bent during assembly is that of the vehicle’s former owner, who testified that he took the car to a Ford dealership after the check engine light came on, and that he understood that the check engine light came on because he had failed to tighten the gas cap. But the former owner also testified that, in the 25,000 miles he drove the car, he had never had trouble with the car’s shifting mechanism.3 Regardless, even plaintiffs seem to argue that the original owner’s testimony “leads 2 Plaintiffs’ argument that a parent corporation is responsible for the acts of its whollyowned subsidiary, without more, is contrary to black letter law. See, e.g. H.J., Inc. v. Int’l Tel. & Tel. Corp., 867 F.2d 1531, 1549 (8th Cir. 1989) (declining to hold parent corporation responsible for acts of wholly-owned subsidiary where parent company did not act or influence subsidiary and where there was no evidence that subsidiary was a “mere instrumentality or alter ego of” or “sham corporation formed to shield” parent). 3 Plaintiffs characterize the former owner’s testimony as follows: “The initial owner of the car testified that he traded the car because the check engine light kept coming on and [a Ford dealership] could not fix it.” The Court disagrees with that characterization. The former owner was asked whether there was “any particular reason” he traded it in, and he testified, “No. I...usually try to trade the vehicles in before the warranty is up, but this particular [vehicle’s] red light was on. It was on for maybe...two weeks, because I couldn’t get it into [the dealership service department] because they were on strike. That’s how I remember when I traded the vehicle.” Thus, the former owner clearly said that there was no particular reason he traded the vehicle in, except that he usually does so before the warranty is up; he just happened to recall that, on that occasion, the check engine light had been on for some time because the service department was on strike. The former owner testified that, at the time, he had driven the car approximately 25,000 miles, which indicates that the bracket was not bent at the time of the car’s assembly. 7 to an inference that the engine may have been replaced by Ford itself through one of its dealers,” which, as discussed above, does not support plaintiffs’ position. Even viewed in a light most favorable to plaintiffs, those facts do not support any inference that the bracket was bent at the time the car left Ford’s control. 3. Whether there was “substantial change” to the vehicle. Even if the bracket was bent, plaintiffs argue it was not a “substantial change” to the vehicle such that the manufacturer may avoid strict liability. Plaintiffs rely on Williams, which observed that “[s]trict liability in tort does not require that the product be new at the time of the occurrence but that it be in substantially the same condition as when it left defendant.” 598 S.W.2d at 612. In Williams, the plaintiff was injured when a tractor he was operating moved unexpectedly after plaintiff had put the tractor’s gearshift lever into “Park.” However, there was evidence sufficient to show that the tractor was in substantially the same condition when plaintiff was injured as when the tractor left the manufacturer. Id. at 613. As a result, the Missouri Court of Appeals determined that the plaintiff had made a submissible case under his strict liability theory. Id. Here, in contrast, plaintiffs have not shown that the Taurus was in substantially the same condition as when it left Ford’s plant. Although plaintiffs maintain that the bent bracket could not have been a “substantial” change because Ford’s expert acknowledged that the problem caused by the bent bracket could have been remedied with baling wire or a ziptie, that a simple solution existed is not dispositive. Plaintiffs attempt to argue that the changes do not relieve Ford of strict liability because they were foreseeable and did not render the Taurus unsafe. See Boyer, 943 S.W.2d at 763 . Plaintiffs assert, for example, that the car operated safely “long after the [engine] replacement,” 8 (#32 at p.6), but plaintiffs offer no support for such a statement.4 Regardless, even if the engine replacement was foreseeable, the improper assembly of the shift cable to the bent bracket was not, and such improper maintenance certainly rendered the vehicle unsafe. 4. Plaintiffs’ causation theory Ultimately, it is undisputed that the engine and transmission had been removed and replaced, and plaintiffs have done nothing to counter Ford’s experts’ opinions that an unknown person improperly assembled the shift cable to the bent bracket after the car left the manufacturer. Rather, as the Court understands plaintiffs’ argument, they rely on their own causation theory. Their different causation theory, however, does not relieve them of their burden to show that no third person made alterations that could have been the proximate cause of the accident. Boyer, 943 S.W.2d at 763; Jones, 37 F.3d at 424; Jasinski, 824 S.W.2d at 455; Williams, 598 S.W.2d at 612. Even if they could overcome that burden, the Court holds that they cannot make a submissible case to the jury on their own causation theory, either. Plaintiffs contend that a design defect — not the bent bracket/improper assembly caused by the unknown third party — caused the accident. Without identifying how the shift cable became loose, plaintiffs argue that a better design would have prevented the cable from becoming loose under any circumstances. They state specifically that the Taurus’s shift cable actuator fitting was defective because it “should have been designed not to come off” when the Taurus’s engine was replaced. (Am. Cmplt. ¶ 7(C).) Plaintiffs offer the testimony of their expert, John Huffman, in support. This argument fails, however, because of the necessary disqualification of Mr. Huffman’s testimony pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 702, Daubert 4 Indeed, no one seems to know when the engine was replaced or when the Taurus last operated correctly. 9 v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 589 (1993), and Kumho Tire Co., Ltd. v. Carmichael, 526 U.S. 137, 150-151 (1999) (discussing application of Daubert factors to “experienced-based” expert testimony). This Court must act as a “gatekeeper” to “insure that proffered expert testimony is both relevant and reliable.” Wagner v. Hesston Corp., 450 F.3d 756, 758 (8th Cir. 2006) (quoting Anderson v. Raymond Corp., 340 F.3d 520, 523 (8th Cir. 2003)); see also Daubert, 509 U.S. at 589. Federal Rule of Evidence 702 governs the standard for this Court’s admission of expert testimony. It provides: A witness who is qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if: (a) the expert’s scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue; (b) the testimony is based on sufficient facts or data; (c) the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods; and (d) the expert has reliably applied the principles and methods to the facts of the case. Fed. R. Evid. 702. The Supreme Court set forth in Daubert a nonexhaustive list of factors for the Court’s consideration as gatekeeper: “(1) whether the theory or technique can be (and has been) tested; (2) whether the theory or technique has been subjected to peer review and publication; (3) the known or potential rate of error; and (4) whether the theory has been generally accepted.” Sappington v. Skyjack, Inc., 512 F.3d 440, 449 (8th Cir. 2008) (citing Lauzon v. Senco Prods., Inc., 270 F.3d 681, 686 (8th Cir. 2001)). “Subsequent cases have proposed additional factors, including, whether the expertise was developed for litigation or naturally flowed from the expert’s research; whether the proposed expert ruled out other alternative explanations; and whether the proposed expert sufficiently connected the proposed testimony with the facts of the case.” Sappington, 512 F.3d at 449 (quoting Lauzon, 270 F.3d at 686-87). 10 Mr. Huffman opines that the “plastic” clip used to hold the gear shift cable to the bracket was defectively designed and that it should have been a nut and bolt or other more robust fastener. Ford argues that Mr. Huffman is not qualified as an expert in the relevant field, does not assist the trier of fact, and does not provide a trustworthy opinion. As to Mr. Huffman’s qualification as an expert, although he is a mechanical engineer, he has no significant experience with transmissions or even automotive engineering. Mr. Huffman states that his general mechanical engineering experience and that his work on his personal vehicles qualifies him as an expert, but this Court cannot agree. He has worked on some cars, including rebuilding a 1967 Ford Mustang while in high school and replacing parts on his and his children’s vehicles, but he has never even worked on a 1999 Ford Taurus nor any other model year Taurus. Mr. Huffman’s expertise — as revealed by plaintiffs’ argument at Document Number 31 — is limited to heating and air conditioning, refrigeration systems on vending machines, heating and cooling equipment for industrial use, electric heating systems, and thermodynamics and heat transfer in aircraft cooling. Mr. Huffman may very well be qualified to testify as an expert in those areas of engineering, but expertise related to heating and cooling systems does not necessarily carry over to automotive transmissions. Mr. Huffman’s heating and cooling systems experience, his teaching experience, and his patents may provide him with specialized knowledge, but that particular knowledge — having nothing directly to do with automotive transmissions and linkages — would not “help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue” in this case as required by Rule 702. Moreover, as shown below, even if Mr. Huffman were qualified, his testimony is not reliable. Mr. Huffman’s opinion regarding an alternative design for the shift actuator fitting has not been tested. He did not test it himself, and it has not been subjected to peer review or for 11 publication. He did not utilize any peer-reviewed materials or publications pertaining to the fitting’s design in formulating his opinion. Because there was no testing, the Court cannot know the known or potential rate of error for Mr. Huffman’s theory, such as unforseen complications that may arise, and, it follows from the above analysis that there can be no general acceptance of Mr. Huffman’s theory from experts in this field. Although not dispositive, Mr. Huffman’s proposed design was prepared solely for this litigation, and it is not used for any passenger vehicles. On the contrary, Ford provides evidence that its fitting (which is not “plastic” but actually glass-filled nylon) has been extensively tested and used in 50 million vehicles around the country. Finally, Mr. Huffman did not speak with witnesses or review depositions for this case in formulating his opinion, and he did not know that the transmission and engine had been removed from the Taurus and replaced. And the fact that Mr. Huffman did not realize that the transmission and engine had been replaced, nor notice that the bracket was bent, indicates that he did not rule out alternative explanations before concluding that the design of the fitting was to blame. In addition, it is not clear that Mr. Huffman’s opinion is that the design of the fitting more likely than not was the cause of the accident. Notably, Mr. Huffman did not produce a written report. His “notes to file” did not reflect any defect in the design of the vehicle, but, rather, he formulated his opinions “in the course of reviewing [his] notes to file in preparation for deposition” and shared those opinions for the first time at his deposition. (Doc. 22-4 at 75.) He testified as follows: Q. So as we sit here today, do you know what caused this accident? A. In my opinion, the cause of the accident was the gear shift indication on the dashboard showing park when the vehicle was actually – transmission was actually in drive, and that occurred because the shift cable was not properly retained to its bracket. 12 Q. As far as -- as far as a shift cable not being properly attached to the bracket, are you saying that that’s because of the fitting? A. I believe it’s because of the shift actuator cable fitting, the plastic part. Q. Okay. And tell me again what -- what evidence you have to base your opinion upon that the shift actuator cable fitting failed? A. I don't know for certain that it failed. Q. Okay. A. I believe it’s possible that it could based on the design. Q. And is it also possible that it could not have failed? A. That’s possible. (#22-4 at 84-85.) Thus, Mr. Huffman’s opinion appears to be that he believes it is merely possible that the fitting could have failed based on its design. Ultimately, it appears that Mr. Huffman’s opinions “amount to no more than ‘subjective belief or unsupported speculation.’” Weisgram v. Marley Co., 169 F.3d 514, 521 (8th Cir. 1999) aff’d, 528 U.S. 440 (2000) (quoting Daubert, 509 U.S. at 590). Plaintiffs argue that Ford’s criticisms of Mr. Huffman go to the weight of his testimony, not admissibility. But this Court is required to act as a gatekeeper to prevent just this sort of testimony from reaching the jury. The Court will exclude Mr. Huffman’s testimony pursuant to Daubert, Kumho, and Rule 702. Plaintiffs have offered no other evidence (expert or otherwise) to support their claim that the Taurus suffered from a defective design that caused the accident. Here, the plaintiffs are not able to make a submissible case for a jury regarding causation. Again, “[i]f plaintiff produces evidence that there were no alterations to the product which would create a defect that could be the proximate cause of the damages incurred, he makes a submissible case as to the existence of the defect at the time of sale.” Williams, 598 S.W.2d at 613. Because 13 they have no evidence that a design defect caused the accident, even if plaintiffs could meet their burden to show that a third party’s alterations “could be the proximate cause” of the accident, id., summary judgment will be granted to Ford on plaintiffs’ product liability claim. B. Failure to Warn Next, plaintiffs contend that Ford should have warned “of the danger of the [shift cable actuator fitting] being damaged” during the replacement of the Taurus’s engine. (Am. Cmplt. ¶ 7.) To prevail under a failure to warn claim brought under strict liability, the plaintiffs must prove (1) the defendant sold the product in the course of defendant’s business; (2) the product was unreasonably dangerous when put to a reasonably anticipated use without knowledge of its characteristics; (3) the defendant did not give adequate warning of the danger; (4) the product was used in a manner reasonably anticipated; and (5) the plaintiff was damaged as direct result of the product being sold without an adequate warning. Church v. Martin-Baker Aircraft Co., Ltd., 643 F. Supp. 499, 508-9 (E.D. Mo. 1986). Ford contends that it is entitled to summary judgment on plaintiffs’ failure to warn claim. As with a products liability claim, causation is a required element of failure to warn claims: plaintiffs must prove both that the product for which there was allegedly no warning caused injury, and “that a warning would have altered the behavior of [those] involved in the accident.” Mothershead v. Greenbriar Country Club, Inc., 994 S.W.2d 80, 89 (Mo. Ct. App. 1999); Arnold v. Ingersoll Rand Co., 834 S.W.2d 192, 194 (Mo. 1992) (en banc). If either causation element is not present, summary judgment is appropriate. Mothershead, 994 S.W.2d at 89. Plaintiffs, despite their denial of the bent bracket with respect to the design defect claim, focus on Ford’s alleged lack of a warning to the unidentified mechanic who was responsible for bending the bracket when the engine/transmission were replaced. Citing Moore v. Ford, 332 14 S.W.3d 749, 762 (Mo. 2011), plaintiffs argue that if such a warning had been given by Ford, then “it can be assumed it would have been heeded and the bracket not bent.” However, in Moore, the court states that “plaintiffs must show that a warning would have altered the behavior of the individuals involved in the accident.” Id. (emphasis added) (citing Arnold, 834 S.W.2d at 194). And, in Moore, the presumption was that the plaintiffs (who were involved in the accident) would have heeded the warning. The presumption therefore does not apply to the unidentified mechanic. There is no testimony or evidence in this case that any warning would have altered any individual’s behavior in this case. Moreover, the “heeding presumption” to which plaintiffs claim they are entitled applies only if plaintiffs can show that “there is sufficient evidence from which a jury could find that the [responsible party] did not already know the danger.” Tune v. Synergy Gas Corp., 883 S.W.2d 10, 13 (Mo. 1994); see also Arnold, 834 S.W.2d at 194. “[T]he burden is on plaintiffs to show that lack of knowledge.” Arnold, 834 S.W.2d at 194. Here, plaintiffs have made no effort to carry that burden. It is clear that plaintiffs cannot satisfy the causation prong of their failure to warn claim. As a result, summary judgment is appropriate. 15 IV. Conclusion In sum, Ford’s Motion to Exclude the Opinion Testimony of Plaintiffs’ Expert John Huffman (#22) will be granted, and Ford is entitled to summary judgment on plaintiffs’ claims. A separate order and judgment will issue. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Ford’s Motion to Exclude the Opinion Testimony of Plaintiffs’ Expert John Huffman (#22) is GRANTED.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI EASTERN DIVISION ERIC MCNEIL, Plaintiff, v. BEST BUY COMPANY, INC., Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) No. 4:13CV1742 JCH MEMORANDUM AND ORDER This matter is before the Court on Defendant Best Buy Company, Inc.‟s Amended Motion to Dismiss, filed September 9, 2013. (ECF No. 7). The motion is fully briefed and ready for disposition. BACKGROUND Plaintiff Eric McNeil alleges that in order to facilitate his switch from a Dell computer to an Apple computer, he contracted to have Defendant “transfer” and “recover” his personal, family, and business information and data. According to Plaintiff, in the course of providing its “data transfer” and “data recovery” services, Defendant inadvertently and negligently lost Plaintiff‟s Dell computer, information and data, and then failed timely to notify Plaintiff of such loss. As a result, Plaintiff maintains Defendant caused him great personal and business economic loss, and further subjected him to the risk that the security of his data and information would be compromised. On or about July 31, 2013, Plaintiff filed a Petition in the Circuit Court for St. Louis County, Missouri (“Complaint”), asserting claims for, inter alia, breach of contract and violations of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. Defendant removed the Complaint to this Court on September 4, 2013, on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. (ECF No. 1). In its Amended Motion to Dismiss, Defendant claims it must be dismissed from Plaintiff‟s suit, as the computer work at issue was performed by employees of Defendant‟s subsidiary, Best Buy Stores, LP, and Plaintiff has provided no basis to pierce the corporate veil between the parent and subsidiary companies. (ECF No. 7). DISCUSSION Under Missouri law, a parent company generally is not responsible for the acts of its subsidiary corporation. Doe 1631 v. Quest Diagnostics, Inc., 395 S.W.3d 8, 18 (Mo. banc 2013). The Missouri Supreme Court “has admonished that parent/subsidiary separation should be „ignored with caution, and only when the circumstances clearly justify it.‟” Id., quoting Cent. Cooling & Supply Co. v. Dir. Of Revenue, State of Mo., 648 S.W.2d 546, 548 (Mo. banc 1982). Courts therefore agree to ignore corporate forms and pierce the corporate veil only when the following three factors are shown: 1) Control, not mere majority or complete stock control, but complete domination, not only of finances, but of policy and business practice in respect to the transaction attacked so that the corporate entity as to this transaction had at the time no separate mind, will or existence of its own; and 2) Such control must have been used by the corporation to commit fraud or wrong, to perpetrate the violation of statutory or other positive legal duty, or dishonest and unjust act in contravention of plaintiff‟s legal rights; and 3) The control and breach of duty must proximately cause the injury or unjust loss complained of. Id. (citation omitted). Upon consideration, the Court finds Plaintiff fails to demonstrate that Defendant Best Buy Company, Inc., exercised complete domination over its subsidiary, Best Buy Stores, LP, with respect to the transaction at issue. In other words, Plaintiff offers no evidence regarding the -2- corporate structure and ownership of the two companies, the overlap (if any) in their boards of directors or corporate officers, or the financial relationship between the entities. See Doe 1631, 395 S.W.3d at 18. Furthermore, Plaintiff does not even allege that Defendant used such control to commit a fraud, or perpetuate wrongdoing. Defendant‟s Motion to Dismiss on this basis must therefore be granted. The Court‟s analysis does not end here, however. Rather than address the above factors, Plaintiff devotes his response to a discussion of one company‟s actual and/or apparent authority to act on behalf of another. “In order to establish a principal-agent relationship between two corporations, there must be such domination and control that the controlled corporation has, so to speak, no separate mind, will or existence of its own and is but a business conduit for its principal.” Weitz Co. v. MH Washington, 631 F.3d 510, 522 (8th Cir. 2011) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted).1 “To hold a parent liable for its subsidiary‟s acts, the control must be actual, participatory and total.” Id. (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Upon review the Court finds Plaintiff‟s analysis confusing, for two reasons. First, rather than address Defendant‟s alleged control of its subsidiary with respect to the transaction at issue, Plaintiff instead refers to Defendant‟s actions in attempting to settle Plaintiff‟s claim after the fact. More importantly, Plaintiff apparently considers the parent company, Defendant Best Buy Company, Inc., to be the agent, and its subsidiary, Best Buy Stores, LP, to be the principal. Under these circumstances, the Court finds it impossible to assess whether Defendant may be held liable on an agency theory. The Court therefore will grant Plaintiff leave to file an Amended Complaint, in order to set forth more clearly the alleged relationship between the two companies, and the asserted basis for holding Defendant liable for the damages alleged in this 1 “On balance, Missouri law is settled that alter ego liability and agency liability are separate causes of action.” Weitz Co., 631 F.3d at 522 (citations omitted). -3- case.2 CONCLUSION Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant‟s Amended Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 7) is GRANTED in accordance with the foregoing, and Best Buy Company, Inc. is DISMISSED without prejudice as a Defendant in this matter. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff is granted until Monday, November 25, 2013, within which to file an Amended Complaint. Failure to do so will result in the dismissal of Plaintiff‟s action without prejudice. Dated this 4th Day of November, 2013. /s/ Jean C. Hamilton UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 2 Alternatively, Plaintiff may elect to name an entity other than Best Buy Company, Inc., as Defendant in his Amended Complaint, if circumstances so indicate. -4- | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12148 | {"url": "https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/missouri/moedce/4:2013cv01742/129041/13", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "docs.justia.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:06:56Z", "digest": "sha1:MHLAPJ3ZWVVM7DRILOEUUPHEJJEXFMNI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 6847, 6847.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 6847, 9122.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 6847, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 6847, 116.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 6847, 0.91]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 6847, 327.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 6847, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 6847, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 6847, 3.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 6847, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 6847, 0.31182016]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 6847, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 6847, 0.10658421]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 6847, 0.15441979]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 6847, 0.13604947]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 6847, 0.11895235]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 6847, 0.10658421]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 6847, 0.10658421]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 6847, 0.01527828]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 6847, 0.01782466]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 6847, 0.0185522]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 6847, 0.04786077]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 6847, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 6847, 0.23350254]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 6847, 0.39664804]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 6847, 5.11918063]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 6847, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 6847, 5.47495025]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 6847, 1074.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 105, 0.0], [105, 134, 1.0], [134, 678, 0.0], [678, 6847, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 105, 0.0], [105, 134, 0.0], [134, 678, 0.0], [678, 6847, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 105, 16.0], [105, 134, 6.0], [134, 678, 85.0], [678, 6847, 967.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 105, 0.02040816], [105, 134, 0.0], [134, 678, 0.04085603], [678, 6847, 0.01837492]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 105, 0.0], [105, 134, 0.0], [134, 678, 0.0], [678, 6847, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 105, 0.14285714], [105, 134, 0.20689655], [134, 678, 0.15992647], [678, 6847, 0.07067596]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 6847, 0.13412189]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 6847, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 6847, 0.36511654]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 6847, -356.41947615]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 6847, -63.06077285]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 6847, -103.82492874]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 6847, 94.0]]} |

"Le clan des voltigeurs"
Le clan des voltigeurs, détail de l’installation de Bob Verschueren au Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, 2023 © Bob Verschueren
Bob Verschueren uses natural elements as his means of expression. Basing his work on plant life from the sites involved, he transforms trees, branches, leaves and so on into spectacular sculptures evocative both of the splendour and deliquescence of all living things. Each piece continues a reflection on human beings, their lives and deaths, and on the connection they maintain with their natural environment. “Each has the value of metaphor rather than symbol. I don’t want to encapsulate my installations in obligatory unequivocal interpretations. I prefer to leave them open to different interpretations by their beholders, each with their own sensibilities and experience. I seek to provide them with something of the character of an event. When an installation resonates with its host site, it seems self-evident, creating tension between is timelessness and its ephemeral character,” the artist states.
In the midst of the undergrowth, a sort of serpent emerges from a tree stump, undulating its way between the surrounding tree and ending its journey by burrowing into the ground with a final thrust: a path of life evoking the destiny of all trees, which come from the earth and return to the earth. Bob Verschueren has been working his magic at the Domain of Chaumont-sur-Loire since 2010, when he superimposed two uprooted trees in the footbath in the Farmyard (Réflexions) while a giant throne composed of wood and leaves was exhibited in the Bee Barn (Le règne végétal) and an installation in the Le Fenil Gallery (L’Enjeu), invited its beholders to reflect upon humanity’s propensity for destruction. “My installations don’t contain messages. They evoke my questions on the contradictory relationships between life and death, creation and destruction, on humankind’s place in nature and relationships between ethics and aesthetics”.
Bob Verschueren gathers, harvests, sorts and assembles elements that he finds in the surrounding area, working exclusively with plant life and creating installations in situ that take account of the site’s history and the architecture that acts as host to them. The fragility and perishability of the materials he uses obliges him to conduct continuous negotiations with nature. Their properties require experimental work processes, which the artist is much in favour of, often calling the initial project into question. “I need a measure of uncertainty, a chance of being surprised. Working with natural elements excludes any risk of controlling everything, of getting bored.”
Carrying out research on the notion of impermanence, Bob Verschueren is especially interested in the metamorphosis and degradation of plant life. His works are not always meant to last, but often simply to live for the duration of an exhibition before disappearing. An intention that he shares with visitors right from the outset, by encouraging them to turn their attention to what is here today but gone tomorrow: “A sweep of the broom like / a gust of wind. / Everything disappears / forever / but lives on in our memories”. A eulogy, if ever there was one, to the here and now. “In the great majority of cases, the materials used are basically waste. The transition from being “nature” to being “garbage” is one of the central points in my reflections. I regard all the work involved as a sort of initiatory journey, where nature gives me real lessons in philosophy, lessons about life”.
This new installation at the Domain brings together 250 parallelepipeds, most of which are nesting boxes for swifts, a rare species in danger of extinction, at the “top” of three branches, positioned vertically like a bouquet.
A Belgian artist known and exhibited across the world, a creator of countless exhibitions whose body of work is the subject of numerous catalogues, Bob Verschueren belongs to the environmental art movement, which includes such artists as Nils-Udo and Andy Goldsworthy and follows on from Land Art. Indoor and outdoor installations, wind painting, light painting, phytogravure, sequential works in which time acts on perishable materials – the artists maintains a very close relationship with nature and matter, time and space. His artistic practice goes hand-in-hand with ecological and philosophical reflection that gives it remarkable consistency. His interventions on a wide range of sites (railway stations, churches, museums, brownfields, art galleries and out in the countryside) feature branches, tree stumps, mosses, vegetables, mushrooms, coffee grounds, ears of wheat, terracotta pots, flour, natural pigments, stones and pebbles, and tell stories as fascinating as they are ephemeral, filled with strange beauty and power.
Bob Verschueren is a self-taught visual artist born in Etterbeek in Belgium in 1945. He began his artistic career in the late 1960s, starting out as a painter. In 1978, he turned to Land Art, creating wind paintings, natural pigments spread across the landscape by the wind, and light paintings, a photographic technique that fixes light by placing a light source in front of the lens. In the 1980s, he decided that he would no longer use anything but natural materials, plant life in particular. Since then, he has created over 300 installations in Europe and the rest of the world.
For each of his works, Bob Verschueren ensures that the site’s architecture, nature, and the selected materials are in perfect harmony. Removed from their natural settings, most of the components gathered are bound to decay. Hence, he persistently questions the unbreakable link between life and death. He also explores other areas, including sound (Catalogue de plantes, begun in 1995), engraving (Phytogravures, begun in 1999), photography and frottage. For him, a piece of wasteland, a forest or an exhibition venue all become areas for experimentation.
Several of his most recent works are perennial. For example, in Brussels, at the Erasmus House and the Jardin des Visitandines, two installations have been designed as calls to meditation within the city walls. Invited more than once by France’s Annecy Paysages art festival, Bob Verschueren has created several pieces for the event, three of which are on show all year round and bear witness to recent developments in his work. Composed of 10 trees assembled two by two and planted in the earth with their roots in the air, La Haie d’honneur straddles a path in the city’s Jardins de l’Europe. The work is a tribute to dead trees as well as an encouragement to city dwellers to celebrate nature. L’Arbre pourfendu, on the other hand, alludes to the depth of the philosophical tales by Italo Calvino (Le Vicomte pourfendu), an author dear to Bob Verschueren’s heart. A bare trunk is speared by a flimsy young tree. Is this a renewed quarrel between ancient and modern? To the surrealism of the scene, the artist adds the epic tale of mythological battles in which trees, like human beings, measure themselves against each other. The third, Implantations, is an extraordinary piece of architecture, a kind of treetop village for birds: a tree whose branches support miniature houses huddled against one another. The artist treats birds like a human community and provides them with a magical utopian city.
Bob Verschueren is a member of the Royal Academy of Belgium, in the Fine Arts division.

A fraud
“I’ve got God’s shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I’ll bet I’ve shed more tears than you can count, as president,” –President George Bush
When I read this quote I was not moved, in fact I was sickened. Here is a man who clearly doesn’t give a damn about what God thinks or for that matter what nearly 75% of his citizens think. This short sentence is the rambling of a person out of touch with God and man. This is a man who snickered when Carla Faye Tucker begged for her life following a cell block conversion to Christianity. This is the same guy who told the deputy prime-minister of Australia that we are “kicking ass in Iraq.” I don’t think you can have compassion sufficient to be crying and “kicking ass.” One emotion is almost the polar opposite of the other and I think both quotes were about the same situation. Mr. Bush initiated an elective war, a war that didn’t need fighting against a citizenry that had never seriously threatened either the United States of America or most Americans. This the same guy who told Michael Brown, former FEMA Chief, “Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job.” We have nearly five hundred days left in the administration of the worst ever president of the United States. I’m crying over the death of my country at the hands of a man who knows no shame. Mr. Bush has defecated on the Constitution of the United States. A man who swore to defend and uphold the instrument of our republic has torn it to pieces.
Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson interviewed Bush for Talk Magazine (September 1999, p. 106). Excerpt from this interview is quoted below:
In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, a number of protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Karla Faye Tucker. “Did you meet with any of them?” I ask. Bush whips around and stares at me. “No, I didn’t meet with any of them”, he snaps, as though I’ve just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. “I didn’t meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with Tucker, though. He asked her real difficult questions like, ‘What would you say to Governor Bush?'” “What was her answer?” I wonder. “‘Please,'” Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, “‘don’t kill me.'” I must look shocked — ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel — because he immediately stops smirking.–Wikipedia-Karla Faye Tucker

“You were cleared this morning, so you’re on your own.” Jody shook Meribah’s hand.
“How far to the nearest town?”
“Don’t know, we don’t trade with anyone else, and nobody who left ever came back. My brother wishes he could come with you.” She gave Joel back his sword and spear.
“He can,” said Lily extending her hand.
“No, he can’t. Last night you got his heart set on the future. Instead of what is, he and I now think of what will be.”
“For a person who’s never known anything else, he’s come a long way,” said Marc.
Jody shook Marc’s hand. “I hope that soon I will see everything that he does. Oh, and he apologizes for not being here. He has to improve his writing style, and he doesn’t want to lose a minute.”
“We’d better be leaving.” Joel grinned. “We aren’t sure where we’re going, but we have to move while the sun is out.”
“Goodbye then.” Jody waved and smiled back.
“Au revoir, you mean,” Lily corrected. “According to my friend Nathanial, we’ll all see each other again.”
The day wore on slowly. The tall trees, which that morning were exciting to look at, now made progress seem minimal, as there were trees to the horizon on left and to the right. Lily and Petal were the only ones who were undaunted by the trees. Lily told Petal about Utopia, about the trees many times larger than the ones they now walked.
“Something’s not right,” Joel looked into the woods.
“What?” asked Marc.
“I don’t want to sound cliché, but did you ever get the feeling you’re being watched?” Joel signalled for everyone to stay still. From their left, they heard a twig snapping. “If someone’s there please come out. We’re not dangerous.”
A girl, the same age as them, came out from behind a tree. Dirty blond hair fell to her shoulders, and green eyes stared from behind flat bangs. She wore the same gown as Marc, but it was much cleaner and less wrinkled. Behind her head, stretched two white feathery wings.
“Where am I?” she asked timidly.
“Uh, how do you mean? Where do you think you are?” asked Lily.
“Rotan?” she shivered.
Meribah, hearing the name Rotan, moved closer. “No dear, this is not Rotan. My father was on Rotan, I hear you have the most beautiful sunset in the universe.” The girl nodded. “We’re in heaven. In a very leafy part of heaven, but heaven nonetheless.” The girl fainted.
They carried the girl to a clearing, and started a fire to warm her. Joel prepared supper from the potatoes that Marc had found earlier, while Marc made a salad with Indian lettuce and hog peanuts. Lily watched after the girl, and Meribah went for a walk.
Meribah walked to the end of the clearing, and checked to see if anyone was watching her. She took out the piece of wood that Feg had given her and was about to push it to the ground.
“Hey you, don’t be planting any maple trees in my forest,” warned an old woman coming out of the woods. “These trees aren’t earth trees and I don’t know how they’d mix with maples.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to try out my tool.” Meribah looked at the tool that the old lady was holding in her hand. It was darker and more coarse than her own. “Where are these trees from, if not from earth?”
“Oh, these trees are crenates from Rotan.”
Meribah looked over to her friends and the girl. “Did you say Rotan?” she asked, but there was no reply. The old lady had gone.
“There’s something to it,” Meribah said firmly. “She’s a Rotanian and this is a Rotanian forest.”
The girl who had been sleeping, sat up and smiled. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to cause so much fuss.” She brushed her bangs out of her eyes. “What happened?”
“You fainted when we told you that you were in heaven,” said Petal.
“But were not. These trees are crenates. I’m on Rotan. And your joke is not funny.” She bit her bottom lip nervously.
“What’s your name?” asked Marc.
“Zirka. And where are your wings?” she asked.
“Listen Zirka, your name is Rotanian and you are speaking Heavenish. I’ll say something in your language.” Meribah paused for a second to make sure she would have the proper pronunciation, “Zirka, how are you today?” Meribah switched back to Heavenish, “In Heavenish, your name is Penny. When people come to heaven they know both their own languages and Heavenish.”
“If you’re not in heaven, then why do you have wings?” asked Joel.
“Everyone on Rotan has wings,” Penny said.
Meribah cleared her throat to get everyone’s attention, “It’s said that the angels who built their planet mingled with humans. Now they all have wings.”
“Half-breeds? A whole planet not fully Sorom and not fully Dorom,” Marc thought aloud.
“Anyway Penny,” Lily started, “Is it okay if I call you Penny? Good. If we were on Rotan, wouldn’t we have wings?”
“Mutants maybe,” said Penny. “That’s mostly why I fainted.”
“How old are you Penny?” asked Marc.
“Thirty-four.”
“Penny, I don’t know what you see us as. But we see you as an eight year old girl with blond hair and green eyes.”
“I don’t believe in heaven, besides why would God bring me here? I’m a prostitute, and a sinner.” She looked to the ground as tears formed in her eyes.
Marc inhaled and sighed. Here was another angel who did not believe in heaven. He decided to sit down and let everyone else work it out, after all, he had to help Joan all by himself.
“We’ll tell you what we know about heaven,” said Lily. “But we can’t change your mind.” Lily stopped and looked at Penny. “We share common ancestors, all of us do. Dorom, people born outside of heaven, are all children of Adam and Eve. I’m a Soron, that is a child of a Dorom who was born in heaven, so I’m also a child of Adam and Eve. You follow?” Penny nodded. “Because Adam and Eve sinned, all of their descendants were to be mortal, and have to be reborn until they had paid for the sins of their ancestors. The only way to escape being reborn would be to save the life of another while giving up your own.” Lily looked deep in her eyes. “Did you save someone?”
Tears rolled down Penny’s cheeks. “I don’t remember. The house next door was on fire, a little girl, Liziba, was screaming from a window. She wasn’t old enough to fly. I went in, and I don’t remember coming out. I just remember her screaming and the smell of burnt feathers. I woke up yesterday, in this forest.”
“Penny,” Meribah caught her attention, “I know that you find it hard to believe, but these trees were planted by angels. Probably the same angels who first planted the trees on your planet. I too, am a Soron, but Marc and Joel, they’re from earth. When a Dorom dies and comes here they almost always have young bodies. And Soron age very slowly, I’m seven hundred and twelve years old and Lily is eight hundred.” Meribah inhaled, “Dear, you’re here because you were a heroine, and you deserve to be here.”
“Guys, I’m sorry,” Joel cut in. “But if we’re going to get out of this forest today, we had to get moving. You’re more than welcome to come,” he assured Penny.
“No, go ahead. I’ve got to sort some things out. Maybe I’ll see you around.”
Everyone wished her well, and began walking again.
Penny looked around at the large trees from her home world. Sometimes their size and beauty was comforting, but now they made her feel lonely and small. “Uhm. Hey, can I come after all?”
“Let’s make camp!” Meribah shouted.
Even though night was falling and everyone was tired, Marc gave Joel an annoyed look. “Whose quest is this anyway?” he whispered.
“We’re a team, everyone has the right to make suggestions,” Joel whispered back. “Or did you like it better in that last city?”
“Point taken,” said Marc.
They set up camp which was still surrounded by the giant trees. Marc fell asleep quickly with Petal sleeping next to him. Meribah took out a pipe much like her fathers’ and began to chew on the stem. Lily spoke to Penny about their quest and told her a little about each person.
A while later everyone fell asleep.
“Marc,” whispered a voice, “Wake up! I need your help.”
Marc lifted his head from his pack. He looked up into the eyes of a young boy. “Robbie! What are you doing here?”
“I’m not really here,” Robbie waved erratically, “and neither are you. We’re dreaming, and as soon as you wish your friends away, we can do some talking.”
“How do you know we’re dreaming?” asked Marc.
“Because I’m standing on invisible legs.” Robbie put his hands on his hips.
“Okay, okay.” Marc stood up, and the trees and his friends disappeared. “It’s good to see you again. What can I do for you, Rob?”
“Well, the other day I went to an amusement park. And I really wanted to ride the roller coaster, but they wouldn’t let me because I don’t have legs.”
“Aren’t you getting artificial ones?” asked Marc.
“Yeah, but I won’t have them for at least another month. What’s left of my legs are almost finished healing, then I have to be fitted, then the exercises. And I’ll bet you they still won’t let me on,” said Robbie.
“Well I know it doesn’t seem fair but the safety bars probably work best with people who have legs. Maybe you should look for a coaster that has the over-the-shoulder-brace,” Marc explained. “It’s not guaranteed but its better than giving up.”
“I guess you’re right.” Robbie turned his back to Marc. “There’s a lot of things I won’t be able to do, and I guess this is just the first.”
Marc grabbed Robbie’s shoulder and spun him around. “I never said there were things you couldn’t do. All I said was that you would have to find special ways to do them. You’re a smart kid; you can find a way to do anything anyone else can do, and I think you can do more. Who knows, maybe you’ll invent a wheel chair to go up stairs, or maybe be the first physically challenged person in outer space, or become Prime Minister.”
“You think so?”
“Sure, I think so.” Marc pulled Robbie’s arm. “And to prove it, we’re going to ride that coaster.” Marc snapped his fingers and the very same roller coaster that Robbie had been denied appeared. “Okay, but I never rode a coaster before, so let’s sit in the back.”
“No way. That front buggy has our names on it.” Robbie giggled, and their names appeared on the buggy. Both names were printed in large crayon colours in front of their seats. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12151 | {"url": "https://doromthenovel.com/wp/?page_id=174", "partition": "head_middle",

Many people have a fascination with lighthouses, for some of us, it is even an obsession. Over the years I have visited many lighthouses myself and also have a small collection of miniature lighthouses to remind me of a few of my favorites that I had a chance to see and climb. We are attracted to lighthouses for our own reasons, some love the dramatic coastline where the lighthouse is situated, and others enjoy visiting because it speaks to them of a time gone by while connecting them with their own past.
For many families, the lighthouse is a tradition as they plan vacations to the shores and lighthouses they have yet to see. They are really extraordinary structures with amazing stories of how each came to be. The earliest known lighthouse was Egypt’s Pharos of Alexandria built in 280 BC, with a huge open fire at the top and stood 450 feet tall.
When I think about the history, nostalgia, and individual meaning and significance that the lighthouse holds, I am reminded of their primary purpose. The lighthouse was designed and built to keep ships from becoming beached in the shallow waters or crashing into the rocky coasts. Instead, ships avoided being shipwrecked and were guided safely into the harbor. They were invented to light the way for ships at sea.
We may not be at sea, but we could still be adrift. As we consider what we use in our own life to light the way, many of us are grounded in our values and beliefs and we use those to guide our steps and decision making. Others find something that is their North Star, something whether a virtue or value, that they follow in good times and when times get tough, keeping them on the right path. And then there are those who rely on their principles and strong moral compass. And yet for others, they struggle because they have yet to connect with their values, beliefs, virtues, their North Star, or moral compass. They struggle because they have yet to find what lights their way.
As we worked on developing a new leadership program, one of our consultants, Bryan Price, Ph.D., shared a concept that I had heard before, but hardly ever thought about again until now. The concept is this, it’s about someone holding a candle, and how they can in turn light the candles of others around them. And then those people could continue to light the candles of even more people. As we thought about leadership, it would take a long time for a leader to visit each and every person in their company or on their team to inspire them or individually show them the way, but if they lit the way for a few, those few can then go and replicate the same effect throughout the organization or team.
If you have ever been to any candlelight service or vigil, you may have been the first one to light the candle and then pass the flame along to others. Or, someone may have lit your candle first, and then you shared the flame and light with others. Before we know it, the entire room, area, or church is completely lit up because we all shared the light with the person next to us.
Now, just imagine it isn’t a lighthouse showing some captain the way around the rocks, or a candlelight service in church or candlelight vigil being held outside somewhere. Imagine that the light is each one of us, and that we have the ability to light the way for others. And what if we just lit a couple candles each day for those around us? The compounding impact of this would be tremendously amazing.
How about you? Has someone lit the way for you? Have you tried and maybe even enjoyed lighting the way for others? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we can be a living, breathing lighthouse for others, we really can make it a better than good life.

Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major health issue in developed countries. Although usually associated with obesity, NAFLD is also diagnosed in individuals with low body mass index (BMI) values, especially in Asia. NAFLD can progress from steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is characterized by liver damage and inflammation, leading to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). NAFLD development can be induced by lipid metabolism alterations; imbalances of pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules; and changes in various other factors, such as gut nutrient-derived signals and adipokines. Obesity-related metabolic disorders may be improved by activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)β/δ, which is involved in metabolic processes and other functions. This review is focused on research findings related to PPARβ/δ-mediated regulation of hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism and NAFLD development. It also discusses the potential use of pharmacological PPARβ/δ activation for NAFLD treatment.

Top social media platforms
Image by Sara Kurfeß
Many online users have subscribed to different social media, including Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn, among others for different reasons. Individuals and groups use them to publish their ideas in writing, images or videos. They also enable them to share hyperlinks to articles, pictures and videos. There are social media users who like to follow the updates of their friends, colleagues, acquaintances or individuals who share their interests. Very often, the news is broadcast through social networks and is disseminated in a viral manner through the social media users’ likes or shares before it is covered by the traditional media like television and newspapers. Online users may be intrigued to use the social media create their social network, or to join virtual communities. They may do so to connect with other individuals who shared their interests and values. Many online users have subscribed to different social media, including Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin, among others for different reasons.
Currently, Facebook has 2.45 billion users. Other popular social media networks include Instagram (1 billion users), Reddit (430 million users), Snapchat (360 million users), Twitter (330 million users), Pinterest (322 million users) and Linkedin (310 million users).
Individuals and groups use these social media to publish their ideas in writing, images or videos. They also enable them to share hyperlinks to articles, pictures and videos. There are social media users who like to follow the updates of their friends, colleagues, acquaintances or individuals who share their interests. Very often, the news is broadcast through social networks and is disseminated in a viral manner through the social media users’ likes or shares before it is covered by the traditional media like television and newspapers. Online users may be intrigued to use the social media create their social network, or to join virtual communities. They may do so to connect with other individuals who shared their interests or values.
Facebook is used by various organisations, including businesses to engage with its users. For example, different businesses are creating interactive pages and groups to disseminate information about their products and services. They utilise Facebook Messenger, or live videos to enhance their communications. Facebook is also used by academics to enhance the visibility of their publications and to raise awareness about the findings from their research. However, individuals use this medium to keep in touch with friends, colleagues, classmates, former classmates, former co-workers, and with other individuals who may share similar interests.
Like Facebook, other social media, including Twitter can be used to target large audiences and communities. Twitter is a platform that is based on topical content. Generally, its users are encouraged to use keywords and hashtags on particular topics, in particular locations. Twitter is restricted with a 280-character limit. Therefore, its subscribers have to post short, focused messages with relevant content that appeals to their followers. Moreover, they are expected to dedicate time to look after their account as they need to respond to their followers to avoid negative criticism. However, it allows direct, two-way communications among subscribers. Hence, it can be used to engage in interactive conversations with other users. Other digital networks include Instagram, Snapchat and Pinterest. Instagram and Pinterest are focused on the dissemination of images and visual content. Like Instagram, Snapchat also features videos and user-generated content and may include influencer marketing material. On the other hand, Reddit appeals to more than 150,000 communities and niches, who share similar interests on various topics.
The usage of social media has radically influenced the style of communication and the dissemination of knowledge and information. Platforms can be personalised, self-managed and interconnected as they can blend written content with images, videos and hyperlinks. This disruptive innovation has led individuals from different demographic segments in society, to refine their digital and communication skills. It is obvious that social media has impacted our way of thinking, talking and even our social lives.
This is an excerpt from one of my latest working papers entitled; “The impact of social media and fake news on socio-political contexts”.

Corporate Social Responsibility Communications through Digital Media
Companies are increasingly focusing their attention on integrated marketing approaches toward different stakeholders24. Many of them are becoming knowledgeable in using social media channels to protect their reputation from bad publicity and misinformation. Their content strategists and inbound marketers who care about customers are realising that they have to continuously come up with fresh, engaging content with a growing number of quality links.
Businesses need to make sure that their corporate websites offer relevant content for different search engines. Consistent high quality content ought to be meaningful and purposeful for target audiences25. Consumers and other stakeholders expect informative yet interesting content through digital channels, including blogs, podcasts, social media networking and e-newsletters. Such content marketing approaches bring customer loyalty26, particularly if the businesses deliver ongoing value propositions to promising prospects on their website27. Very often, they offer insightful stories to customers28 or inspire them with sustainable ideas and innovations29. Corporate web sites could even contain the latest news, elements of the marketing-mix endeavours as well as digital marketing fads.
Social media networks are effective monitoring tools as they could feature early warning signals of trending topics30. These networks may help business communicators and marketers identify and follow the latest sustainability issues. Notwithstanding, CSR influencers are easily identified on particular subject matters or expertise. For example, businesses and customers alike have also learned how to use the hashtag (#) to enhance the visibility of their shareable content (Some of the most popular hashtags on the subject, comprise: #CSR #StrategicCSR, #sustainability, #susty, #CSRTalk, #Davos2016, #KyotoProtocol, #SharedValue et cetera). Hashtags could be used to raise awareness on charities, philanthropic institutions and green non-governmental organisations. They may also help during fund raising events. Hence, there are numerous opportunities for businesses to leverage themselves through social networks as they engage with influencers and media.
The ubiquity of Facebook and Google Plus over the past years has made them familiar channels for many individuals around the globe. These networks have become very popular communication outlets for brands, companies and activists alike. These social media channels empower their users to engage with business on a myriad of issues. They also enable individual professionals or groups to promote themselves and their CSR credentials in different markets and segments.
Moreover, LinkedIn is yet another effective tool, particularly for personal branding. However, this social network helps users identify and engage with influencers. Companies can use this site to create or join their favourite groups on LinkedIn (e.g. GRI, FSG, Shared Value Initiative among others). They may also use this channel for CSR communication as they promote key initiatives and share sustainability ideas. Therefore, LinkedIn connects individuals and groups as they engage in conversations with both academia and CSR practitioners.
In addition, Pinterest and Instagram enable their users to share images, ideas with their networks. These social media could also be relevant in the context of the sustainability agenda. Businesses could illustrate their CSR communication to stakeholders through visual and graphic content. Evidently, these innovative avenues provide sharable imagery, infographics or videos to groups who may be passionate on certain issues, including CSR.
Moreover, digital marketers are increasingly uploading short, fun videos which often turn viral on internet31. YouTube, Vimeo and Vine seem to have positioned themselves as important social media channels for many consumers, particularly among millennials. These sites offer an excellent way to humanise or animate CSR communication through video content. These digital media also allow their users to share their video content across multiple networks. For instance, videos featuring university resources may comprise lectures, documentaries, case studies and the like.

How To Accsess The Dark Web
Additional Security – Using a VPN
PeopleConnect Announces Data Breach to Background Check Websites It Owns
Although these types of stories leave a negative impression of the dark web, there is plenty of legal and positive activity that the dark web gives you access to. I recommend that you only visit trusted, reputable sites and protect yourself with additional security measures. The dark web is the most controversial and dangerous part of the internet — and it can only be accessed with certain browsers, such as Tor.
The operating system is free to use and live boots from a USB stick or DVD. Therefore, you should never download the Tor browser from any source other than the official website. Ergo, you should also use a VPN when connecting to the dark web. It will encrypt your web traffic, ensuring it’s hidden from snoopers even if there’s a similar repeat of last year’s issues.
The following are examples of dangerous software that may be used to attack your company’s data, systems, and networks. The intelligence community, media workers, whistleblowers, and ordinary citizens are all users of the dark web who use it for lawful or unlawful reasons. Stand with us in the fight to protect privacy, civil liberties, and the right for anonymity. However, Tor isn’t the only browser you can use to access the dark web, although it is best known and most commonly used. This whole “node bouncing” process makes it very difficult if not impossible for someone you see your IP address and trace you.
Create an anonymous Gmail address like “” Other credible free email providers work, too. If a phone number is required, pick one at this site or one of these alternatives and receive SMS verifications online. Make sure to never visit your own websites, type out your name, or do anything that may reveal your identity on this account. The dark web is undoubtedly a dangerous place, but it can also create a lot of good for the world. It’s useful for research, helping journalists shed light on injustice, communicating anonymously, and investigating criminal activity. The difference is the order in which your internet traffic travels.
Once you’ve disabled the malware’s ability to infect other devices, you can then attempt to remove the malware. If you think you’re the victim of a data breach — for example, if there’s a string of unauthorized purchases using your credit card — you should act right away. Recently, however, it’s become more commonly used by cybercriminals and others engaged in illegal activity who are looking to obscure their identities. Tor is a network that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet.
The dark web forms a small part of the deep web, but requires custom software in order to access its content. Since then, especially in reporting on Silk Road, the two terms have often been conflated, despite recommendations that they should be distinguished. Not only this, but any time you visit the dark web, you’re vulnerable to a number of cyber threats — such as hackers trying to steal your data, malware, and viruses, etc. A VPN keeps you anonymous and protects your personal information so you can browse the dark web safely. VPN by Google One adds more protection to your internet activity no matter what apps or browsers you use, shielding it from hackers or network operators by masking your IP address. Without a VPN, the sites and apps you visit could use your IP address to track your activity or determine your location.
It’s a multiplatform problem-fixer that protects your entire digital life through a single app. Best of all, it’s jargon-free, personalized, and easy to use. Download Clario and make sure your private info stays that way. There are a lot of VPNs in the market, but not all VPNs were created equal. We recommend using Clario’s VPN, which is a highly-rated, easy to use and reliable VPN software.
If you’ve followed the news in the last two decades, you’ve probably heard stories and seen headlines about the deep web or dark web.
Plus Search results from Dark Web engines usually vary significantly as they tend to crawl the Dark Web differently and apply different filters to search results.
§ Dark Web Monitoring in Norton 360 plans defaults to monitor your email address only.
Close everything on your device, such as your password manager, regular browser, and non-essential apps like Netflix.
The technology only provides pseudonymity, which means as long as no one knows your Bitcoin addresses, you are anonymous.
Once installed, the browser works the same way traditional ones do.
Insurance companies are often highly sought after; at least, they are in the criminal world. They hold an extensive amount of information, and when information has fallen into the wrong hands, it could lead to a wide array of problems, most notably identity theft. Credit profiles are a significant part of everyday life for business and personal. The long, fascinating, and twisted history of financial scores, claims to encapsulate a person’s attitude toward credit and debt. Emory Healthcare, a part of Emory University, is Georgia’s most significant hospital system.
Potential Malware
Your ISP and the government might not be able to view your activity when on the Tor Network, but they do know you are on the Tor Network, and that alone is enough to raise eyebrows. In fact, a recent judgment by the US Supreme Court denoted that simply using Tor was sufficient probable cause for law enforcement to search and seize any computer around the world. To access the vast majority of the dark web, you’ll need Tor.
Black Market Darknet
TORCH is a very simple and minimalistic search engine you can try out if you ever get sick of the friendly duck. Bitcoins payment is hard to track but it’s not 100% anonymous. The technology only provides pseudonymity, which means as long as no one knows your Bitcoin addresses, you are anonymous. OnionWallet helps you break that chain – the Dark Web service mixes all Bitcoin and makes it impossible to track on the Bitcoin Blockchain. Knowing that there are tons of things you can buy here, you’ll probably know you have to pay for it as well. This site is sort of like a digital wallet and allows you to transact in Bitcoins.
I’ve made sure only to include the updated v3 Onion links. This means you can’t simply replace .com with .onion and expect it to work. The updated screen will confirm that you’re connected to Tor. Even though you already did so using your regular browser, run another quick IP, DNS, and WebRTC leak test. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12156 | {"url":

New Master’s programme in cyber security will meet market needs
This autumn Stockholm University launches a new master's programme in information security, a growing field in great need of expertise. The initiative comes from industry representatives, who also co-developed the content of the programme.
Every day, agencies and businesses are targets of cyber-attacks. As a response to the growing need for trained personnel in information security, the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University is now starting a new study programme "Master’s programme in Information Security".
”My hope is to attract ambitious students from various study backgrounds such as in economics, sociology, criminology and psychology. Information security is an interdisciplinary field requiring expertise in many different areas,” says Fredrik Björck, a lecturer at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences.
Information Security is one of the most exciting areas within IT. Global IT security spending is projected by business magazine Forbes to increase tenfold in the coming decade (from around 60 billion euros to 600 billion euros per year).

Significant increase of applicants for international programmes
DSV's Master's Programme in IT Project Management among top five most popular programmes, with a 60% increase of applicants.
The number of applicants for international master’s programmes at Stockholm University starting autumn 2016 have increased with 62% in the last application round, to 11,400 students.
Applications from countries in North Africa show a particularly strong increase, for example, the number of applicants from Egypt has increased from 46 to 872. One explanation may be the troubled situation in neighbouring countries and areas. There are also notable increases in the number of applicants from the USA, Turkey, Bangladesh and China.
About 80 percent of the applicants are fee paying students, i.e. students who come from countries outside the EU/EEA.
The five most popular programmes
These are the most applied for international programmes at Stockholm University (percentage change and list placement autumn semester 2015 in brackets):
Master's Degree (60 credits) in International Commercial Arbitration Law (new)

Earlham College in nation’s Top 3 for participation in study abroad experiences
Categories: Faculty , Off-campus study , Research , Students ,
Earlham College students participate in international learning experiences at a rate that far exceeds their peers and might defy common sense for those unfamiliar with how national benchmarking data is reported.
With 178 percent of students participating in study abroad programs, the College ranks third in the nation among all baccalaureate granting colleges and universities, according to the Institute on International Education’s 2020 Open Doors report. This report, which is sponsored by the U.S. State Department, divides the number of students participating in a credit-bearing study abroad programs by the size of its graduating class in ranking each institution.
“Our percentage is so high, over 100 percent, because we have so many students who go abroad more than once,” said Roger Adkins, the executive director of Earlham’s Center for Global and Career Education. “At Earlham it’s common for a student to go on a short-term faculty led program one year and do a semester-long program in another year. Some may go three times or more if they do a credit-bearing internship out of the country. These figures don’t even include our students who participate in domestic programs across the U.S.”
Earlham College students participated in public health campaigns across Costa Rica in 2018 and went whitewater rafting.
In a normal year not derailed by a global pandemic, about two-thirds of the student body participates in Earlham’s off-campus programs, which are located on every continent—except Antarctica. The national average is about 11 percent.
“Our off-campus programs are deeply integrated into the curriculum and a big part of the culture here,” said Jennifer Lewis, senior director of off-campus programs. “These experiences don’t happen in a vacuum. Our academic advisers often ask students not if, but where are you going? It’s the norm, not an exception.”
The College has been careful to limit costs as a barrier whenever possible. “Other schools obviously offer internships, short-term faculty-led excursions and off-campus study, but students usually go into a lot of debt to do all of that,” Adkins notes. “What we offer is very rare.”
Grant-based funding
Grant-based funding offers Earlham students opportunities that are financed up to the full amount of the excursion.
The College’s Epic Advantage program and an ongoing grant from the Freeman Foundation are catalysts for sending students all over the world on funded cultural immersion and career-discernment experiences, including internships, faculty-student collaborative research, and community-based projects.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, all Earlham students are eligible for the Epic Advantage grant.
Semester abroad expenses kept low
Semester-long programs are covered by the normal cost of tuition with added institutional support that covers program fees and cost-of-living expenses. “We assure every student that wants to do a semester or a year of off-campus study can do that for about the same pricing as being on campus,” Adkins said. For these types of programs, students are responsible for the cost of airfare, passports, visas, and personal spending, but in some cases scholarships are available to offset those expenses.”
Eighteen semester-long programs, several of which are led by Earlham professors, are available to students for the 2021-22 academic year after a year-long pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Longstanding programs in New Zealand, London, Japan, Spain, India and the U.S./Mexico border are available with new programs in Ghana, Thailand and Boston debuting in the fall or spring.
Students are eligible for semester-long experiences as early as their sophomore year and can participate in any program, regardless of their major or course of study. Required pre- and post-departure courses help students get the most out of their experience.
“Students from virtually any major can go on any program,” Lewis said. “While this takes planning for some majors with tight requirements, it can be done. The reason is because students earn a full semester’s worth of upper-level academic credit for our programs, and those credits can apply to general education requirements as well as some major requirements.
“We think of these as true liberal arts programs, and we love it when there are many different majors on our programs because it makes a richer experience for all involved.”
In addition to strong off-campus study programs, international students comprise about 20 percent of the student body. The IIE currently ranks Earlham 34th for the number of international students enrolled at the College.
International students are attracted to Earlham for its nationally recognized classroom experience, affordability and its mission of producing catalysts for good in a changing world. The College’s international student advisers provide mentorship to these students throughout their time at Earlham College, and serve as a source of advice, support, and information on matters of immigration regulations, cultural adaptation, and practical concerns.
“These recent rankings are evidence that Earlham is a leader in global learning and remains committed to ensuring that every graduate is ready for life in the global world of this century,” Adkins said. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12163 | {"url": "https://earlham.edu/news-events/earlham-college-in-nations-top-3-for-participation-in-study-abroad-experiences/", "partition": "head_middle",

Steep terrain in regions of Alaska can set the stage for landslides. A landslide may release spontaneously or be triggered by an earthquake, heavy rains, rapid snowmelt, construction activities, or other shifting. Landslides can occur in a variety of settings, from high inland mountains to coastal areas. For example, the thawing of permafrost in high mountains can release loosened rock and soil. Another example is a retreating glacier may cause valley slopes to become more unstable, increasing the risk of landslides. In a different example, many places along Alaska’s rugged coast are poised for landslides above or below the ocean’s surface. If the rocks, earth, and debris released in these locations displace water, they create a tsunami. Some of the largest tsunamis in history originated from landslides.
Researchers have documented massive landslides in Alaska, some of which caused megatsunamis. Some of the most notable events include:
2016: In June, pilot Paul Swanstrom followed a strange dust plume and found the aftermath of a more than 100-million-ton slide onto the Lamplugh Glacier.
2015: On October 17, the collapse of a mountainside near Tyndall Glacier into Taan Fjord after a period of heavy rains caused the giant wave of Icy Bay, with a run-up of 500 feet. (Run-up is the elevation above sea level that a tsunami wave reaches.) This was the largest non-volcanic landslide ever documented in North America.
2014: A 68-million-ton landslide—at least half again as large as the 1958 Lituya Bay rockslide—rumbled down the side of Mount La Perouse and spread out across the glacier below.
2005: A major ice-and-rockslide from the south face of Mt. Steller, possibly caused by a failure of both the hanging glacier at the mountain peak and permafrost instability downslope, spread about 1.5 square miles (4 square kilometers) over the Bering Glacier, covering it about 33-50 feet (10-15 m) deep. This event was large enough to register on seismometers around the world.
1958: Landslides in Lituya Bay following a M7.8 earthquake on the Fairweather Fault produced a megatsunami with 1,720 feet of run-up. The tsunami caused two fatalities, a married couple on a fishing boat that was never found. Four people on two other fishing boats managed to ride out the wave, including a father and his seven-year-old son.
Barry Arm fjord in the Prince William Sound region holds the potential for a dangerous, tsunami-generating landslide. In the summer of 2020, the Earthquake Center installed seismic stations along the fjord as part of a partnership with several state and federal agencies to monitor for landslides. On one of the Earthquake Center stations, a webcam provides visual information to supplement the seismograms.
Tidal Inlet in Glacier Bay has also been identified as a potential tsunami-generating landslide. There are many other potential landslides that have yet to be identified.

EB-5 Processing Times and Backlogs Discussed in the USCIS Fireside Chat
March 5, 2023 November 14, 2022 by Max Sanchez
Recent initiatives to shorten processing timeframes and eliminate backlogs were disclosed during an hour-long interview between Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CIS Ombudsman) Phyllis Coven and Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ur Jaddou.
On September 21, a fireside session covered the difficulties, successes, and objectives for the fiscal year FY 2023. Jaddou talked about funding, congressional appropriations, and customer service in addition to processing times and backlogs. Coven spoke on the office's support programs for the general public, suggestions for improving USCIS' fee-for-service funding model, and their 2022 Annual Report to Congress.
The publication of a temporary final rule that temporarily extends the automatic extension term for EAD categories from up to 180 days to up to 540 days was one of the successes in the previous 12 months, according to Felicia Escobar Carrillo, Chief of Staff at USCIS. She claims that doing this will allow 420,000 people to continue working while their EAD applications are being processed by USCIS.
Carillo said that they are aware that this benefits not just the affected people and their families but also their employers, the whole economy, and the neighborhoods where they interact and reside.
USCIS Aims to Connect with Communities Nationwide
Approximately 114 national engagements and more than 3600 local, virtual, and in-person engagements with more than 151,000 participants have been held because of increased national and local engagement strategies, according to Carillo.
When Jaddou joined USCIS, it was in the midst of the epidemic, and she claimed that since then, conditions had improved.
Jaddou stated that she entered at a time when the agency was experiencing, is experiencing, and at the time, it was still one of the largest backlogs this agency has ever had. She also left the company a year and a half or so after the agency's financial problems, which led to a hiring freeze and left vacancies unfilled. Consequently, a challenging moment.
She claims that the organization is always seeking new methods to reassure the public that USCIS is moving in the right path. She believes that the organization is attempting to increase efficiency to get ahead of the backlog.
Jaddou also remarked it is really large and difficult. She is aware that everyone is suffering extremely elevated processing times as a result of it. However, they have a lot of suggestions and solutions, many of which are currently in use. So, returning to regular order is her desire and objective.
Comments from USCIS Regarding the Effects of the Visa Backlog
The avalanche of backlogs, according to CIS Ombudsman Coven, was the focus of their annual report in 2022.
“And what that was really about was that we came to recognize that the backlogs themselves had sort of a snowball impact, that when people were waiting longer than they should get their cards indicating their status, they still needed to work, they still needed to be able to verify their employment they needed to travel and those needs created for the agency sort of secondary workloads or collateral workloads and so that the detriment of the backlogs is not only on the customers but also on the agency,” stated Coven.
She said that the focus of their report this year was on how to address some of those sources of tension for both the agency and its clients. For instance, they conducted research on the challenges of requesting advance parole for those who must go abroad urgently before their card is issued, as well as the procedure for submitting expedited petitions.
The advice, she added, "may help individuals get on with their lives and lessen some of the worries, right, that is generated by the lengthier processing periods."
According to Jaddou, every delay resulted in a call to their contact center, which caused someone else to have to wait longer. Every delay, according to her, may lead to legal action.
And now, Jaddou continued that lawyers and the Office of Chief Counsel are preoccupied with lawsuits rather than possibly examining issues of policy and law to make adjustments. They are now only concentrating on lawsuits, thus. Their offices are flooded with requests to prolong and requests to extend emergency advanced paroles around the nation. People ask for urgent action on their job authorizations, which, once again, has a snowball effect.
Jaddou claimed that the harm caused by USCIS's inability to handle cases quickly and effectively "ends up causing so many other portions of our agency to as well be overloaded with resources that were never allocated for that."
She claims that as a result of these factors, customer service is overburdened. She said that customer service is trying to ensure that consumers get prompt responses to their inquiries.
To ensure that the procedure doesn't take a year, 18 months, two months, or two years, Jaddou added, it needs to be done promptly.
How USCIS Manages the Processing of Visas
According to Coven, they have prioritized their cases and made a great effort to be open and honest with the public about the issues they can help with and the areas in which they can truly make a difference. When people have had trouble obtaining a safe document like employment authorization or a green card, this has to do with people aging out and losing the chance to acquire a benefit due to age.
The National Visa Center occasionally has trouble getting notification of accepted applications, which is required for consular processing, according to Coven. "And another huge area where we've done a lot of effort this year is in making sure that."
Jaddou expressed her happiness at being able to report that the USCIS and the State Department would soon be able to grant every visa for this fiscal year.
According to Jaddou, many family-based visas were not provided overseas for family-based petitioners and instead were carried over to this year in our employment-based system as a result of COVID and the consulates' limited opening as they were before COVID. And the majority of the employment-based visa numbers that we obtain are processed by USCIS as adjustments of status. We thus received more than we ever had.
"So taking all that we learned in the prior fiscal year and applying it to this fiscal year, we were able to beat even that achievement," Jaddou explained. "We have adjusted a lot more than we have ever done, 50% more."
USCIS and Cycle Time Objectives
Because of the restrictions, Congress has set on this program and, for that matter, visas, employment-based, and even family-based visas, Coven said she understands the suffering brought on by the years of waiting. Many individuals still wait, she added. Giving people information about
the few visas that are available and how they are divided up among the countries by the legislation, according to her, is highly beneficial.
Jaddou added that Cycle Time targets have been introduced. And by the conclusion of the upcoming fiscal year, they want to have the majority of their key forms completed within six months, often even sooner. According to her, they are moving forward. So far, they have made progress.
According to her, the Cycle Time for the N-400, the Application for Naturalization, was 13 months in December 2021 and was reduced to 9.6 months in July 2022. She claimed that they are also noticing that to some extent in other kinds.
"We require the time to resolve it. 8.5 million outstanding cases are almost 5 million more than the cycle time targets for the first six months, which is a very large quantity. Consequently, we have a ton of work, explains Jaddou.
Jaddou spoke on customer service as well, using the renewal of an I-90 and a Green Card as examples.
According to Jaddou, you require an appointment and must visit a field office when there is a delay or when it is about to expire. Just consider the resources required, not to mention the inconvenience to the person, of having to contact, schedule an appointment, travel, and obtain a stamp for them to have a longer time while they adjudicate taking into account the backlog.
According to her, the organization is looking at ways to prolong the time that appointments are automatically scheduled so that people don't have to call in the first place and to free up those resources.
To keep the wait time for a phone call coming in under 10 minutes, they are also considering the notion of a stakeholder inquiry mailbox for systemic concerns. They are figuring out how to make the automated systems more effective so that calls are sent to the appropriate individual.
USCIS is Considering a Method for Electronic Filing
Jaddou expressed her excitement for their plan to make the USCIS computerized so that applicants may finish the entire procedure online. 13 benefit forms are presently accessible for electronic filing, according to her, and 18% of their submissions are being made online. She said that the problem was that not everyone was utilizing it. People are still preferring paper even though 46% of the forms that are accessible for electronic filing can only be submitted electronically, according to her.
Jaddou explained they comprehend that the G-28, the attorney form, and the handshake between the lawyer and their client are two problems, and that the ability for the lawyers' representatives to have their case management systems and have those systems be able to communicate with theirs, rather than having to fill out those forms, is one of the issues. Therefore, these are all difficulties that they are overcoming.
Going electronic, according to Jaddou, increases efficiency and reduces the problem of human mistakes. She claims that the organization is aiming to simplify the procedure so that everything can be done online in one location.
"This will be very beneficial, effective, and economical. And I believe the outcomes will be better. However, we are aware that there are several problems and that we must reach representative accounts as well. But we have given these things a higher priority. And we are committed to," Jaddou remarked.
Coven stated that they are now deciding what topics they want to focus on for research and study as well as their objectives for the upcoming year.
One of them, according to Coven, had to do with a concern that stakeholders have been raising around RFEs and whether or not they're getting sort of repetitive and superfluous requests for further proof. And they already know that's a topic they want to research next year.
According to a study by CIS, USCIS employs more than 20,000 people, has more than 200 offices and other facilities around the United States and internationally, and has an annual budget that has averaged over $4 billion since 2018.

Boost Your Self-esteem With Mindful Meditation
By Sophie Brown
The concept of “self-esteem” applies to how we see and value ourselves. It refers to how we talk about the types of people we are. If we have a favorable opinion of ourselves, we have healthy self-esteem. High self-esteem is a positive personal asset that is associated with a variety of positive life outcomes. As a result, it is critical to consider factors that may boost self-esteem.
Low self-esteem is a prevalent issue that most of us face at some other point in our life. If we have frequent negative thoughts about ourselves, we, like many others, may have low self-esteem. But, it can be boosted through various practices. We can develop negative beliefs about ourselves if we are subjected to prolonged stress. Living in toxic relationships, such as narcissists or psychopaths, can also cause a distorted view of our worth. We are expected to maintain high self-esteem and to take action to protect their self-esteem when it is threatened. One of the most accessible yet beneficial methods to improve your self-esteem is mindful meditation. Various studies have shown mindful meditation to be effective in improving self-esteem. Here are some mindful meditation techniques that may prove to help boost confidence and self-esteem.
When your mind is not focused on the present, you must strive to be conscientious in your observation. When you notice your attention wandering, bring it back to the present moment. Focus on what you’re doing presently. Memories are to be cherished, whether good or bad. The good ones make us happy, and the bad ones teach us lessons. But, they must not be the reason why we are holding on to the past. That is why they must come and go, not become an obstacle in our lives. Mindfulness meditation is what comes the handiest in gaining focus on the present. Just step back from whatever you are doing and start focusing only on your breath. Make sure you are in a comfortable posture to avoid distractions.
Let go of negativity
You can remove all the negativity from your life step by step. Going with one thing at a time, try to eliminate the negative thoughts and the things and people that encourage them. Being mindful of what lets you down and severely affects your self-esteem will help you recognize the issue and resolve it.
You can also practice this with a sitting pose while meditating. Just sit in a comfortable position and focus on the positive things that happened to you one by one. Even if it was just a good cup of coffee that you made for yourself or got your paycheck, do not forget to acknowledge the good things in your life. Focusing on these positive things will help you get a grip on your negative thoughts.
Be mindful of your emotions
We have thoughts during meditation, but we can recognize them as fleeting. We let them go rather than identifying with them or using them to legitimize an old narrative in our heads. The more we practice, the easier it is to go beyond thought, which means paying less attention to thoughts and not letting them characterize who we are.
Get physically active
Doing even a simple set of mindful poses can go a long way in improving our thoughts and feelings about ourselves. It can be any physical activity, from yoga to cardio, to dancing, anything that suits you. Exercise has been shown to improve our mental state and influence our minds to think more positively.
Celebrate your individuality
Everyone has their personality, which cannot be taken away from them, nor should it be something to be ashamed of. We are all different and unique in our ways, and it is essential to acknowledge that. The importance and value of our own are what we need to understand to lose the critical thoughts and opinions we have about ourselves.
Acknowledge yourself
Everyone possesses this fundamental goodness, and everyone has the potential to relate with it. We can genuinely radiate goodness and confidence when we relate with our goodness and confidence. In that way, we can spread positive thoughts and confidence rather than pulling others down with negativity and burdening others with harsh criticism.
Whenever we see someone with a confident attitude and boosted self-confidence, we wish to be the same. But the truth is everyone has their battles that they go through every single day. All we have to do is rise above those fights and become the best version of ourselves by accepting everything we are and working on ourselves every day. Every good thing requires effort. The most significant investment we can make is ourselves. The more we invest in ourselves, the more we allow our thoughts and emotions to work in sync. We can start by taking small steps of improvement as investments. The journey towards mindfulness and better self-esteem is long, but we can achieve our goal only by moving forward, even if it is one step at a time.
Breath, our reference point, is a natural part of life. We sit and observe our breath without judgment when we meditate. We release any sense of comparison by focusing our attention on the breath; we sit without moral judgment.
Mindful meditation requires practice, but it works as a long-term and sustainable solution to calm down anxiety and other health issues of a person. Self-esteem issues can sometimes get the best of us, but that is just a phase that must pass. Meditation allows us to see the positivity and good things around us and acknowledge them.

Jeremy Clarkson makes £14 million from Top Gear
By Rory Reid
Fast cars, pretty women, enough free food to make you obese; the life of a motoring journalist can be a glamorous one. However it isn’t often well paid – unless your name happens to begin with Jeremy and end with Clarkson. According to reports, the Top Gear presenter bagged nearly £14 million last year, making him the BBC’s best paid presenter.
Jezza made approximately £1 million of that cash as salary, funded by the taxpayer, from fronting the popular automotive show. Another £4.6 million of of his heaving cash pile was earned as a dividend from Bedder 6, the company he set up with producer Andy Wilman to rinse Top Gear’s commercial potential, flogging stuffed toys, selling mags and taking the show on the road.
A further £8.4 million was received for his 30 per cent stake in Bedder 6 when the BBC struck a deal to take full control of the company in September 2012.
“No licence fee income was used by BBC Worldwide to pay the exiting shareholders of Bedder 6 in 2012,” said a spokesman for BBC Worldwide.
“In just five years the business grew its profits five-fold (and its revenue to £149 million), which would not have been possible without the involvement of the show’s creative talent. The deal also secured the future of the Top Gear brand for the BBC and BBC Worldwide and we now benefit from 100% of its profit stream.”
It’s unlikely Clarkson will will rake in this level of cash in the future, at least not from Top Gear alone. Following the sale of Bedder 6, Jeremy and his co-presenters were placed back on more conventional BBC staff contracts.

Data and Safety Monitoring/NIH Policy
Goldman, Israel David (PI)
The AECOM/AECC Data Safety monitoring plan establishes implementation plans for the policies set forth by the National Cancer Institute in the document entitled Policy of the National Cancer Institute for Data and Safety Monitoring of Clinical Trials (http://cancertrials.nci.nih.gov/clinicaltrials/conductinq/dsm-auidelines/paae2V These policies pertain to the monitoring of all clinical trials supported by NCI, and thus encompass all NCI funded clinical trials, intramural, multicenter and cooperative group. The policies and procedures for Data and Safety Monitoring of the clinical research programs at the AECC are established and monitored by the Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee and the Cancer Center Clinical Research Executive Committee. The Data Safety Monitoring Committee is a major component of the Cancer Center and reports directly to the head of the Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee, the CPDMU, the Cancer Center Director and the AECOM/Montefiore IRBs. The document includes the major functions and responsibilities of data and safety monitoring of our active clinical trials program(s) and includes a detailed description of the following: Individual responsible for monitoring The frequency of the review A description of what is being monitored The procedures for different classes of clinical trials The evaluation and investigator feedback/communication process The procedures for managing and averting conflicts of interest Adverse event procedures Suspensions of clinical trials Protocol compliance auditing procedures The Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) has the responsibility for ensuring data and safety monitoring along with each of the protocol Principal Investigators who are ultimately responsible for the ongoing monitoring and safety of clinical protocols. The DSMC is comprised of investigators from throughout the College and Cancer Center, and have a variety of different expertise. Dr. Richard Gorlick chairs the DSMC. The remainder of the membership is listed in the table below. The DSMC is provided with administrative support, database management, etc., by the CPDMU. The DSMC meeting occurs immediately prior to the PRMC meeting to ensure immediate transmission of information. Representatives of the CCI and PRMC serve in a non-voting capacity on the DSMC to assure communication.

Tips and Tricks for Hiring the Best Commercial Pest Control Services
Do you own or manage a business? Are you beginning to get some unwanted visitors in your office, retail space, or warehouse? Are you wondering if it’s time to look for commercial pest control services?
Pests in your business can do more than get you a bad reputation. They can damage your inventory as well as the structure of your building.
A commercial pest control company can end up saving your building and your ability to do business. They are well worth whatever you spend to get them on the job. Yet how can you be sure you’ve found one that will rid your place of pests effectively and professionally?
Here’s what you should be looking for.
1. Recommendations and Reviews
One of the best ways to start looking for a reputable company is to ask trusted friends, family members, and co-workers for recommendations. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about their experiences.
Were they able to rid their business of pests? Were they punctual and professional? Were there any unexpected costs along the way?
If you can’t get any personal recommendations, look up pest control professionals in your area. Read their online reviews.
Remember that you shouldn’t be going on what a single former customer said. Look for patterns in reviews that tell you what you can expect when you give the business a call.
You may, for example, notice that a lot of people mention the friendly servicemen. Or that more than one person says the business was overpriced. A comment that appears more than once is something to keep in mind.
Once you’ve found a few companies that seem reputable, give them a call and ask for at least three references that you can speak to about their experiences. Be sure to stick with local companies, as these will have the best knowledge of common pests and structures in your area.
2. Licensing
While states have different requirements when it comes to pest control licensing, all pest control companies are required to be licensed.
In the state of Utah, those who wish to become exterminators must take a training course and pass an examination. The final test covers categories such as local pesticide laws, environmental protection, and application techniques. Licensed pest-control workers will also get experience applying pesticides, identifying and eliminating different kinds of pests, and managing customer relationships.
Before you hire a particular pest control service, ask for their license number. If you want to be extra thorough, go online, and see if it checks out.
It’s also important for pest control workers to carry worker’s compensation insurance. This provides benefits for any employees in their company who may suffer work-related injuries on the job. It’s important for pest control workers because of the hazardous chemicals they work with.
If your pest control agent doesn’t have insurance, you could end up being held liable if an accident happens while employees are working at your business. Before you choose an exterminator, ask for their insurance number and call up the insurance company to verify it.
4. The Right Price
Generally speaking, an exterminator can cost you anywhere from $117 to $5,000. So much depends upon the type of pest that you’ve got, as well as the extent of the damage.
Ant infestation, for example, will run on the lower end. But bed bug treatments can get quite expensive. And your price will vary depending upon how many of the pests have taken up residence at your business.
The cost of your exterminating service will also depend upon your geographical area. Before you hire a company, call up at least three local companies and get them to give you an honest estimate based on your problem. Make sure the company you end up contracting with is giving you an estimate that’s in the ballpark of what other exterminators are saying.
Your pest control company should be willing to provide you with a written description of the fees they plan to charge you. This will ensure that there won’t be any surprises along the way. If you have any questions about a particular fee, the right company will be ready and able to explain it to you.
You’ll want a pest control company that has experience with removing the types of pests you have. They should know which chemicals to apply, and which doses are safe. They should also know exactly when to apply them.
When interviewing prospective pest control companies, ask them if they’ve had experience treating the type of pest you’ve got before. How many roach problems in grocery stores have they seen, for example? And what was their strategy for getting rid of them?
You can get a sense of the knowledge of skills a particular company has through an initial interview. You can also ask your company about their use of Integrated Pest Management, which means that they will use both chemical and non-chemical methods to treat the problem.
If you have folks with allergies or asthma working in your business, you’ll want to know that your pest management company can do everything they can to limit the use of harsh chemicals. The important thing is that your business is safely rid of destructive pests in a timely, effective manner.

Is it progress or stasis?
On March 28, 2013 By Emerging Runner
Today’s run (treadmill): 30 minutes
I spent the day in the city, so I got up early this morning and ran on the treadmill. I’d considered the elliptical, but I had some cognitive dissonance after yesterday’s run. I wasn’t sure that I was making much progress in my recovery and wanted to retest my hip. I’m not sure what that accomplished, because my experience on today’s run was exactly the same as yesterday.
As I ran on the treadmill, I thought about my decision to run, versus other alternatives. I knew I’d be covering a lot of ground on foot today, so I could have easily used city walking as my workout. I chose to run because I really wanted to gain some aerobic benefit. If my hip felt better today, I’d know I was on the right track.
I got through the run without much trouble, but my hip soreness remained. The pain was no worse than on Tuesday, but I wondered if I’d traded a recovery opportunity for some marginal conditioning. There wasn’t any post-run pain, so I don’t think I did any damage. Tomorrow I’m definitely returning to the elliptical for a lower impact workout.
The question right now is when to try another street run. The last two times I did that, my recovery was set back for days. I need to get back to race training mode, but I’ll need to be sure that I’ve passed the risk point for re-injury.

I don't know about you, but your doctor's visit can't come soon enough for me..
Yes indeed. If for nothing else than to determine the root cause of the problem. There has been improvement since yesterday, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking I'm ready to resume hard training.
Hmm. Very smart. The body will heal well providing it's an overuse issue and nothing serious. Why make a bad situation worse? I see it all the time in the clinic.Wishing for you a full recovery…
You know of what you speak! I'm listening to my body and it's telling me that moderate workouts are okay. It probably is, as you say, an overuse injury. But I'll find out more on Tuesday at the orthopedist. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12177 | {"url": "https://emergingrunnerblog.home.blog/2013/03/28/is-it-progress-or-stasis/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "emergingrunnerblog.home.blog", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:36:01Z", "digest": "sha1:VDWTYIV3QHRSRFSVTCH6AXO63KZGBJMC"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2229, 2229.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2229, 6247.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2229, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2229, 99.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2229, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2229, 338.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2229, 0.42519685]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2229, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2229, 0.00510783]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2229, 0.01362089]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2229, 0.01929625]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2229, 0.06496063]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2229, 0.0625]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2229, 0.16141732]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2229, 0.56435644]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2229, 4.36138614]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2229, 0.0019685]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2229, 5.04215008]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2229, 404.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 26, 1.0], [26, 63, 0.0], [63, 99, 0.0], [99, 474, 1.0], [474, 807, 1.0], [807, 1151, 1.0], [1151, 1389, 1.0], [1389, 1428, 0.0], [1428, 1461, 0.0], [1461, 1490, 0.0], [1490, 1532, 1.0], [1532, 1547, 0.0], [1547, 1627, 1.0], [1627, 1828, 1.0], [1828, 2023, 0.0], [2023, 2229, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 63, 0.0], [63, 99, 0.0], [99, 474, 0.0], [474, 807, 0.0], [807, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1389, 0.0], [1389, 1428, 0.0], [1428, 1461, 0.0], [1461, 1490, 0.0], [1490, 1532, 0.0], [1532, 1547, 0.0], [1547, 1627, 0.0], [1627, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 2023, 0.0], [2023, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 26, 5.0], [26, 63, 7.0], [63, 99, 5.0], [99, 474, 68.0], [474, 807, 66.0], [807, 1151, 59.0], [1151, 1389, 48.0], [1389, 1428, 1.0], [1428, 1461, 8.0], [1461, 1490, 4.0], [1490, 1532, 8.0], [1532, 1547, 1.0], [1547, 1627, 15.0], [1627, 1828, 34.0], [1828, 2023, 36.0], [2023, 2229, 39.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 63, 0.17142857], [63, 99, 0.0625], [99, 474, 0.0], [474, 807, 0.0], [807, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1389, 0.0], [1389, 1428, 0.0], [1428, 1461, 0.0], [1461, 1490, 0.0], [1490, 1532, 0.025], [1532, 1547, 0.0], [1547, 1627, 0.0], [1627, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 2023, 0.0], [2023, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 63, 0.0], [63, 99, 0.0], [99, 474, 0.0], [474, 807, 0.0], [807, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1389, 0.0], [1389, 1428, 0.0], [1428, 1461, 0.0], [1461, 1490, 0.0], [1490, 1532, 0.0], [1532, 1547, 0.0], [1547, 1627, 0.0], [1627, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 2023, 0.0], [2023, 2229, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 26, 0.03846154], [26, 63, 0.13513514], [63, 99, 0.02777778], [99, 474, 0.01866667], [474, 807, 0.03303303], [807, 1151, 0.02906977], [1151, 1389, 0.02521008], [1389, 1428, 0.0], [1428, 1461, 0.06060606], [1461, 1490, 0.03448276], [1490, 1532, 0.02380952], [1532, 1547, 0.2], [1547, 1627, 0.0125], [1627, 1828, 0.02487562], [1828, 2023, 0.03076923], [2023, 2229, 0.02912621]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2229, 0.08077097]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2229, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2229, 0.00524688]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2229, -97.38940982]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2229, 17.94193791]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2229, -355.36700876]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2229, 30.0]]} |
Sorry doctors, but I’m ignoring your advice
On December 17, 2013 By Emerging Runner
Today’s run (treadmill): 3.4 miles
Back in the early ’90’s, when I first moved to NYC, it seemed like I was always battling a cold or virus. One weekend my sister confronted my constant state of illness and asked me whether I took a multi-vitamin. I said that I didn’t think they provided any real benefits. She guaranteed me that if I took a daily vitamin for a month, my constant sniffling and coughing would go away.
I figured it was worth trying, if only to prove her wrong. Thirty days later, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d had a symptom. Ever since then, I’ve taken a daily vitamin. Except for a very very bad week, I’ve been pretty good at fighting off illnesses. My wife and kids have also taken vitamins on a daily basis and they rarely get sick.
When I saw on the news today that the Annals of Internal Medicine had published an article entitled, “Enough Is Enough: Stop Wasting Money on Vitamin and Mineral Supplements”, I had to disagree. After all, what makes these doctors, with their years of training and expertise, more qualified than me to decide if vitamins are good or bad? Not only are these doctors saying vitamins don’t help, they are saying that taking vitamins may pose certain risks. Does my sister know??!!!
Seriously, I’m conflicted by this news. I’ve taken a daily vitamin for over 20 years and have a healthy immune system. But I also run 20 miles a week and eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. So is it my diet or the daily supplement? It’s not quite as paradoxical as Schrödinger’s cat, but it’s pretty hard to prove one way or the other.

Well, I just read that article. They repeatedly say that subjects of the trials had NO dietary deficiencies. Why did they not do studies with people who were malnourished? Why are the test subjects 'well-nourished'? Of course any future trials in a well nourished population are more likely not going to see any benefits of extra supplementation. I can see studying the effects of what too MUCH supplementation, either multi-vitamin or individual fat-soluble supplements may have on an already well-nourished population. Ugh. Research.What outcome would you like? Anyone can design a study to make it turn out anyway you want. It's like politics. You just don't know who to trust.
Indeed he was, and no one can argue its benefits. I used to down a pint of OJ whenever I felt a cold coming on and it seemed to help. I suspect the case against OTC vitamins has more to do with the delivery method than the vitamins themselves.
I'm not convinced that vitamins provide a measurable level of protection to people with good diets, but I think vitamins may provide essentials that even those diets may lack. I don't believe in herbal supplements because they are often found to damage organs or be otherwise toxic.

An aggressive church planting network of Bible-believing churches in this small Central American country of 6.8 million people is in desperate need of Scriptures.
In the past five years, they have witnessed an extraordinary and increasing hunger for God throughout the country, and especially in areas of great poverty and hardship. The primary goal of this church network is evangelism and church planting — but they need our assistance desperately and immediately!
Therefore, Empower is immediately beginning to print and deliver to these Spanish speaking churches, Bibles, New Testaments, children’s Gospels, and a variety of other Scripture material as the needs arise. And more will be printed and delivered in years to come as people accept Christ and requests continue to grow.

Jen Smith
Co-Founder & Financial Planner
As a young college student, I helped settle my mother’s estate when she passed of a chronic illness and helped to get my father’s affairs in order as he dealt with the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. This difficult experience catalyzed my future: one in which I would dedicate my life to using my psychology and accounting education to assist other individuals, no matter what circumstances they are dealing with in life.
After spending a wonderful tenure at a premier wealth management firm in Cleveland, it was time to deliver my own holistic and unique approach to wealth management. In 2016, I created Younity Wealth Partners to bring a deeply individualized, more balanced approach to wealth management, grounded in both personal experience and interdisciplinary expertise. Younity took my passion for bringing order out of chaos and using it to help my clients accomplish their own dreams.
I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) practitioner and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, cum laude, with a concentration in Accounting from Bowling Green State University. I am the former Chair of the Financial Planning Association (FPA®) of Northeast Ohio Board of Directors, a non-profit volunteer organization that supports high standards of professional competence, ethical conduct, and growth of the financial planning profession as a whole.
As a proud Northeast Ohio native and lifelong resident, I enjoy giving back to the community in which I live. When I’m not in the office, I volunteer my time and expertise to helping underserved individuals and families by providing free, no-strings-attached, objective financial planning services. I also serve as Treasurer on the Board of Directors for the Cleveland Animal Protective League (APL), a non-profit organization whose mission is to foster compassion and end animal suffering through adoption, spay/neuter, cruelty investigations and education.
In the summers, you can find me at any number of local farmers markets, and arts and crafts shows. To unwind, I enjoy hiking with my rescue dog, a lab mix named Moki, in the Metroparks, practicing yoga, and trying new recipes in the kitchen. I currently reside in Hudson.
“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”

Feel Think Do Approach for Video Marketing
In marketing good content strategy really comes from simply understanding the human that you’re trying to reach. B2B, B2C, it really doesn’t matter. It’s all about the person and ultimately the goal is to move someone to take some sort of action. I kind of likened it to dating.
For entrepreneurs, business owners or non-marketers, the idea of creating a content marketing strategy can be really overwhelming. How do you know where to start? What will work for my business? How do I know what’s working and what I’m just throwing money away on? Have you ever asked yourself any of those questions? You see, in its simplest form, video marketing or any marketing really is simply about relationships – people connecting with people.
Harvard Business School professor Gerald Zaltman said that 95% of our decision making process when making purchase decisions happens in the unconscious mind. So how do we as marketers influence the subconscious mind? Mind control? Well, it’s simpler than that, you see. It’s about emotions, it’s about creating ways for our brand to connect with our ideal customer on an emotional level. You see by connecting with emotions we’re influencing the subconscious mind subconsciously and that’s exactly where good marketing begins. We want our ideal customer to feel something first and then to take action. As Zaltman was clarifying, people make buying decisions based on emotions and then they justify that decision with logic and reasoning. All action whether it be a purchase decision or not follows this same process Feel, Think and then Do. You feel something and then you think about it and then you take an action whether that be a purchase decision or not. If you have a headache which is causing you to feel pain, then you think about the options that will help you overcome that pain. Then you take the action, you take the paracetamol. If you’re feeling frustrated with your financial situation, then you consider your options and then you go and speak to a financial planner. If you’re feeling run down tired and overworked and then you stumble across a youtube video featuring a Fiji Island getaway and then you go and see a travel agent. You’re feeling, thinking and then you’re taking the action. I’ve oversimplified it for sure but when we consider any purchase decision we can recognise that there is always an emotional trigger that starts that buying journey.
So in a marketing strategy we need to connect with our prospects on an emotional level first and then work to change their beliefs about something before asking them to take some sort of action and potentially buy our product or service.
Feel, think, do – it’s human nature and i kind of likened it to the idea of dating. You see on a first date your goal is to get your prospect that person sitting across the table from you to feel something about you, to connect on an emotional level with you first. So you’re going to dress nicely, you’re going to tell great stories, you’re going to make eye contact. The idea is to make a great first impression on an emotional level to encourage them to go to the next level with you.
In that next stage in that dating analogy is when you’re going on second, third, fourth dates. Here, you want them to think differently about you. You want them to start to connect with you on a more cognitive level and understand that this is a relationship that is going to work for them, that there’s an alignment, that they like you and they trust you.
Finally in this dating analogy, that’s when you can go for the conversion, where the sale is made. When it comes to dating, you can consider what that conversion might be. But what happens if you go straight for the conversion on the first date? So why do so many businesses focus their marketing strategy around trying to influence the conversion on the first date? You don’t want to be slapping your prospects in the face.
So, how will you adopt this Feel, Think, Do approach when you’re creating and thinking about your marketing strategy?

Faith that Creates Miracles 1/15
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 In the frustrating moments when we pray and we do not receive an answer, when we observe the situation of the family worsen in front of our eyes, when illness seems like a giant that we cannot defeat, and when our financial problems seem so hopeless that we have uncertainty about tomorrow, many of us...
Sacrificing Our Greatest Treasure on the Altar 12/14
Sometime later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.” (Genesis 22:1-2) Obedience is an essential ingredient for prosperity. Abraham had learned to believe in God, however, his greatest challenge was yet to come. Abraham waited many years for his son to be born and when he finally received his greatest treasure, he was asked to sacrifice him on the altar as a...
Genuine Worship Produces a Great Victory 11/14
“Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” 2 Chronicles 20:20 Worshiping God is much more than just singing or dancing. In this story, we realize that true worship begins with a thankful heart. It comes out of a clean heart that is full of faith and trust in a God that is almighty and loving like our God...
Dare to Believe 10/14
“As scripture says: Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” Romans 10:11 In the Word of God, we find many great and wonderful promises that we, as children of God have the right to use. These promises are our tools in prayer since they provide the security that we receive what God has promised in His Word. One of His promises is this one: “All who put his trust in Him will not be put to shame.” This promise states clearly that all who believe in Him for salvation, healing, prosperity, or for any other need...
Unconditional Love 9/14
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 Love is a profound feeling that everyone wants to experience, possess, and caress. Many poets and famous writers across time have written about love. Artists have used their brushes to convey what they believe love us. Great composers have composed beautiful melodies that speak about love. However, although their work is beautiful, every one of those poets, writers, artists, and composers express love in an imperfect way because humans are imperfect beings. Perfect love, incomparable love, and pure love...
Peace in the Midst of Pain 8/14
For many years, farmers used a tool called Tribulum, which was used to separate the weeds from the wheat. Currently, we use the word tribulation which is derived from the artifact that the ancient cultivators used to separate the good wheat for their harvest. In the same way, God uses the tool of tribulation (Pain and suffering) to mature, equip, and sanctify us of all the spiritual weeds in our lives. When Thomas Dorcey’s wife died in labor, Thomas felt completely alone in such terrible agony, and in his despair he exclaimed: “God, where are you? Why did this happen...
Peace through Problems, Trials, and Tribulation- 7/14
In the literary work entitled: “The Aeneid” by Virgil, he explained that when a wounded soldier returned from war, he could barely sand up on their feet. Virgil exclaimed these words of determination: “In spite of everything, this man continued to stand firm.” Frequently, when we encounter problems, trials, and tribulation, we tend to run away and quickly give up. However, the reality is that Christ came to give us peace in the midst of our chaos. The person that rises up victoriously in life is one who does not quit in battle and although wounded with marks and scars...
Keep the Faith. Hold on to the Truth- 6/14
“Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.”1Timothy 6:20-21 The popular ideologies of our time completely contradict and are incompatible with what the Word of God says in scripture. From sexuality to philosophy, from incorrect theories that are called sciences to finances, the world has utterly rebelled against what God has established. Oftentimes, we might have felt like we had to reevaluate our faith or at least reevaluate the application of...
Acknowledging God in our Walk - 5/14
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6As human beings, we are prone to plan our own lives. We set goals that we want to achieve, we work hard to obtain material goods, and we struggle to gain the approval of others. We strive to get promoted in our jobs in order to achieve either a higher income or a higher social status. However, working towards all of this fills our hearts with anxiety. In this frantic...
Leaders and Servants - 4/14
"Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves." -Luke 22:25-27It is difficult to maintain a servant mentality these days.

Exposure Notification: Benefits and Challenges of Smartphone Applications to Augment Contact Tracing
If you were near a person who later tests positive for an infectious disease, an exposure notification app can let you know. These apps allow for more rapid and broader contact tracing—ideally helping to slow disease spread. About half of the U.S. states had their own COVID-19 exposure notification apps as of June 2021. A national app wasn't available. We found 5 challenges related to exposure notification apps, such as privacy concerns and a dearth of evidence showing that the apps are effective. To address challenges, we identified 4 policy options, e.g., collaborating on a national strategy for these apps.

Studying Cities: Social Science Methods for Urban Research
Universidad Erasmus de Rotterdam
Welcome! Are you looking to learn more about how to conduct scientific research, specifically in an urban or local context? Then you have found the right course: Studying Cities: Social Science Methods for Urban Research by the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS), Erasmus University Rotterdam. During the course you will gain more insight in the different steps of the research cycle, and build a firm foundation for your own future research endeavors. Before any (urban) researcher may start conducting research, it is crucial to understand the different aspects and elements of doing research. The course will guide you through the various steps of the research cycle to provide you with the basic knowledge necessary for any Master-level program, but with a special focus on urban and local development. The course starts with introductory lectures on the problem statement, research objective, empirical cycle and the research question. Over the following weeks you will also learn the components and criteria of the theoretical framework and operationalization, research strategies, and the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. You will be provided with the necessary tools to understand and evaluate these key steps in scientific research by watching video lectures with in-video questions and by completing the final peer review, which will use all the elements you have learnt throughout the course.

They presented a regular and coherent model of various quantitative and qualitative research methods in the best way, which was very instructive and useful for me.
A very useful course and worth to join. Learned new applied Social Science methods in specific details for doing urban research.
Theoretical Framework and Operationalization
By studying this week’s materials and by answering the related questions and quiz, you will gain more insight in how operationalization transitions theory to empirical research. You will learn how an empirical researcher creates the transformation from the research question to the conceptual framework, and from the complex concepts of this framework to measurable (unambiguous) indicators. You will also become aware of the most common mistakes inexperienced researchers make in the operationalization.

Hello, and welcome to this video on conceptualization. In the earlier videos, you have learned about the first steps of the research cycle. So you are already able to define a problem statement, research objective, research question, and to perform a literature review. In this video, I will discuss the next step, conceptualization. By the end of this video, you'll be able to define concepts, and define conceptualization, to explain why it's useful, and to conceptualize based on your literature review. After that, you will be ready for the next step, which is to design your own conceptual framework. I realize that I've used the term, conceptualization, quite casually up to now, as if we all know what it means, but do we? Do we all know it's definition? What's your definition? What image pops up in your head? Take a moment to think about it, about your own definition of this term, conceptualization. It is actually this thinking process, thinking about a definition of a term, that is what this video is all about. This conceptualization is simply specifying what we mean when we use a particular term. It simply means that you develop a concept, which is the same as an academic working agreements. Scholars may use many different definitions of one term, and you can choose one of them, or make your own definition. The concept has to be useful to your own study, it has to be specific, it has to be unambiguous. Let me give you an example of the concept, slum upgrading. You and I, we probably have different definitions and mental images of a slum, and of slum upgrading activities. After all, slums look different in different parts of the world. So now we're getting to the heart of the problem. Concepts such as slums and upgrading, they do not have an intrinsic undebatable meaning. By contrast, we all use different and often implicit definitions. Our mental images, they may overlap because most probably there is variance. As a researcher, you have to carefully define your own concepts. What is a slum? What is upgrading? This process of conceptualization specifies and sharpens your research. It ensures that your readers know exactly what you mean when you use the concept slum and upgrading. Even if they will use other definitions themselves. Preferably, the same concept, the way you define it, is used in other studies as well, because this would allow for comparison. So how can you conceptualize, or in other words, how do you create your own concepts? You can conceptualize by asking three questions. First, what are the main concepts, methods you mentioned in your research questions? If you know that, second, how have other scholars conceptualize these same terms? This question you answer in your literature review as we have discussed in the previous video. Third, how do you define these concepts yourself, for the purpose of your own research? Let me give you an example. Let's assume your main research question is as follows. How does community participation affect slum upgrading projects in cities in Vietnam? If that's your question, then the main concepts are: communities, participation, slums, and upgrading. These are ambiguous concepts. In your literature review, you can describe how others have defined the concepts, and then you can develop your own definition. A definition which is sensible for your own research, which is specific, which is unambiguous. So we are almost at the end of this video. Now, you've watched this video, you are able to define a concept, and conceptualization, explain why it's useful, and to conceptualize based on your literature review. As you have noticed, many concepts are ambiguous. We may define concepts differently, you and me, but that is not a problem, as long as you are concepts are specific, in the end, unambiguous, and useful for answering your research questions. The next steps of the research hierarchical are the creation of a conceptual framework using your concepts, and the operationalization and measurements. To practice these steps, you can conduct exercises and check out the discussion prompt. But for now, good job. This is the end of the second step in turning your preliminary research question into a full research proposal, through conceptualization. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12193 | {"url":

Discussion: Building a Health History
Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients’ health risks.For this Discussion, you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for a particular new patient assigned by your Instructor. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12194 | {"url": "https://essay-paper.com/building-a-health-history/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "essay-paper.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:30:13Z", "digest": "sha1:4DUIY2J7RC2UVS4ORTHLIUW3BRQCSMU5"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 813, 813.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 813, 2356.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 813, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 813, 68.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 813, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 813, 276.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 813, 0.39583333]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 813, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 813, 0.05357143]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 813, 0.08928571]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 813, 0.13095238]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 813, 0.00694444]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 813, 0.13888889]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 813, 0.67741935]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 813, 5.41935484]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 813, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 813, 4.22892389]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 813, 124.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 82, 0.0], [82, 104, 0.0], [104, 142, 0.0], [142, 813, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 82, 0.0], [82, 104, 0.0], [104, 142, 0.0], [142, 813, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 26, 4.0], [26, 82, 7.0], [82, 104, 4.0], [104, 142, 5.0], [142, 813, 104.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 82, 0.0], [82, 104, 0.25], [104, 142, 0.0], [142, 813, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 82, 0.0], [82, 104, 0.0], [104, 142, 0.0], [142, 813, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 26, 0.11538462], [26, 82, 0.10714286], [82, 104, 0.09090909], [104, 142, 0.10526316], [142, 813, 0.01043219]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 813, 2.98e-06]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 813, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 813, 0.00033617]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 813, -41.63937905]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 813, -6.48073193]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 813, -37.66194608]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 813, 5.0]]} |

In addition to that, the book fair offers a great opportunity to see the major Finnish-Estonian poetry programme, lead by Jenni Haukio, the programme director of the book fair.

The children’s area of the fair will be arranged by Ilon’s Wonderland from Haapsalu, gallery and theme centre for children and families based on the works of the world-famous illustrator of children’s books – Ilon Wikland.
As part of the sub-programme of the fair, there will be the Estonian-Finnish karaoke evening held on Friday, October 5, where several famous songs from Mikko Savikko’s collection 100 laulua. Laulamme yhdessä – 100 laulu. Laulame koos (100 Songs. Let’s Sing Together) will be sung. On Saturday, October 6, the Estonian-themed club night will take place with the ensemble Au-ensemble which consists of Asko Künnap (poetry), Adam Cullen (violin) and Kivi Larmola (guitar). After that, the poetry will be read by Kai Aarelaid, Kätlin Kaldmaa, Indrek Koff, Mika Keränen and Kauksi Ülle. The evening ends with Gogol’s disco (Paavo Matsin)! During the whole fair, the exhibitions “Estonian History in Pictures” and “The Road to the Clouds” will remain open at the Turku City Library.
The Estonian programme of the book fair is organized by the Estonian Embassy in Helsinki, the Estonian Institute in Finland, the Association of Estonia-Societies in Finland and the Tuglas Society.

The Best Japanese Games You Should Check Out, Please
July 30, 2022 | Tags: General
Some great games come out of Japan. So why not take a look at The Best Japanese Games, *according to Lahftel*.
Feeling a void in your backlog? Nothing looks fun to play till all the big games release? Welcome to the first edition of Lahftel telling you, “You should go and play some more Japanese video games.” Trust me, I happen to be a self-proclaimed expert and this is an attempt to raise literacy in some of the best games out there. That for some asinine reason is never coming up when we talk about the greatest games of all time. This piece solely exists to bully editor David. But you should check it out regardless, maybe your new favorite game is on here. Let's get to it!
All of the Yakuza Games
With all of them being available on the Xbox Gamepass and soon on the PlayStation Plus Premium and on PC, there is absolutely no reason not to check out this storied franchise. While the games have for the longest time been written off as ‘the Japanese GTA', Yakuza or in japan known as Ryu Ga Gotoku (Like a Dragon) is far more than that. On the surface, they are action loaded beat em ups set in the night life of some of Japans biggest cities. Their grim tales of guys in suits beating the heck out of each other are wonderful love letter to the underappreciated genre of Japanese crime movies.
Their presentation is throughout the series out of this world and it makes up for one of the most consistent series in gaming. The mainline titles are made up of 8 games, the first seven center around Yakuza outcast Kiryu Kazuma trying to do right by the people in his life. These games are more than just beating up goons with motorcycles and cooking appliances, you get to explore richly detailed recreations of some of Japans most famous party districts and just hang out in them. The series features the most insane minigame collections in gaming, ranging from bowling and crane games to a full on baseball team manager.
In my very humble opinion, every single one of them is worth playing through. Even if Kiryu's journey alone is six games and a prequel. With the recent remasters and remakes, it should not be that jarring to go back to some of the older titles. If you just want to check out the series, I highly recommend you check out Yakuza 0 which is not only a prequel to the entire series but largely stands alone, making only some references to the previous titles.
If you're looking for something more modern, check out Like a Dragon: Yakuza. A soft reboot of the series featuring the new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga. While the game continues some of the long running storylines of the previous series, it is a wholly new tale. It's also a classic turnbased JRPG, just that instead of monsters. You beat up perverts, creeps and gangsters while wearing silly outfits and summon mighty allies by sending them a text message.
If Hideo Kojima is the David Fincher of gaming, then Yoko Taro would be Adam West, Taka Waititi, Sam Raimi and Denis Villeneuve rolled in one person.. of gaming.
It all started with NieR, which recently got a remake called NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, which was a sequel to one of the joke endings of the Yoko Taro-directed Drakengard. Drakengard was a weird game, a B-moviesque hack n slay action game wrapped around this strange meditation on violence in video games. NieR Replicant follows this up on this heart-warming spin on classic adventure games and the closest you'll find it it is probably Zelda. Just that things are off and the game quickly devolves into much more than being a Zelda clone.
You play as Nier, a young man who's trying to find a cure for his sisters illness. He goes on a very JRPG adventure together with a strange book called Weiss, foul-mouthed fem fatale Kaine and a blind boy called Emil to destroy the Shadow Lord. Trust me this is the set up for one of the most powerful experiences you can have in gaming. At least play it for the breathtaking music of Keiichi Okabe and the stunning visuals. It is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
If that sounds just a little too weird for you, there is the Sequel. Don't worry you can enjoy NieR: Automata without having played any of Yoko Taro's previous work. Wjoe the story and lore of these games is really wild and sometimes too complex for their own sake, the themes and emotions they evoke on their own is what you're here for. NieR: Automata takes place in the far future were humans have fled to the moon after an alien invasion. In their stead, androids try to reconquer earth by dressing like french goth lolita maids to fight against the robots created by those aliens.
All of this lifts the curtain on what is probably one the best games of the last console generation. And you know you are in for a ride when Platinum Games' combat system somehow manages to be one of the less interesting selling points. It is amazing don't get me wrong, but NieR: Automata is much, much more than that.
While the thought of artificial life discovering their humanity is not a new theme and it is wrapped up in that ‘anime aesthetic' could probably be best observed in the Ghost in the Shell franchise. NieR: Automata is not interested in re-examining ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?', instead it uses the medium of video games to examine what a world without humans would look like and how our thoughts and ideas could influence whoever or whatever comes after us. All of this while also diving deep into the existential horror that is being alive in the first place.
NieR: Automata will mess you up if you let it. Despite the cool anime robots fighting the other robots with gigantic katanas and laser beam canons. And apparently, there are still secrets to be discovered! NieR: Automata is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch come October 6, 2022.
Great title for a video game isn't it? If you ever wanted to see what game inspired the sheer overwhelming style that made Persona 5 the JRPG for people who don't like JRPG's. Check out Square Enix's The World Ends With You. Initially released for the Nintendo DS in 2007, this game managed to be a cult classic even if barely anyone in the western gaming scene remembers it.
The game and its sequel which was released last year is this amazing love letter to culture in Tokyo's Shibuya district. Be it the outlandish fashion or the soundtrack that is just mixing and matching all kinds of genres. All of this is wrapped up in a beautifully paced action RPG presented as a visual novel with lots of exploration.
Its story is revolving around a group of teenagers being dragged into the Reaper's game, three-week long competition that pits them against monsters in order to make it out alive. And that's as much as I'm willing to tell you about. Honestly, while being deeply soaked in what we could lovingly call anime clichés it offers a completely unique experience with great characters and a flawless presentation. So check it out! The World Ends With You is available on Mobile and the Final Remix edition with some extra content is available on the Nintendo Switch.
Gravity Rush
Whenever we talk about Sony's great exclusives, you always hear God of War and The Last of Us come up. And those are great games for mature audiences, but at the height of the superhero craze, we got this gem. Gravity Rush comes from the unlikeliest of places. Conceptualized by Keiichiro Toyama the director of the original Silent Hill, Gravity Rush is a rather wholesome affair comparatively.
Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer Live 76 Announced!
Initially released for the PlayStation Vita in 2012, the game focuses on a young woman called Kat who fell from the sky and is now left without memories and a mysterious cat she calls Dusty. Kat has the power to manipulate gravity, powers she develops as you learn to play the game which creates this amazing ludo-narrative harmony (when gameplay and story create a narrative together), which is rare. Especially in the genre of superhero games.
Kat finds herself in the city of Hekseville, a floating city around a structure called the World Pillar that is going through some kind of crisis. And that's about all I'm willing to say about this game, while the first one is very much a PlayStation Vita game it is full of charm and loving touches. The game's aesthetic is a beautiful marriage of French-Belgian comic books and Japanese manga and anime. Also, all the characters speak in cute made-up language which sounds like a mix of French and Japanese. Oh, and the music is fantastic.
Go grab it, it's available on PlayStation 4 and if you love it, play the sequel which is just more of the first game but bigger and better. That one is also available for the PlayStation 4. Seriously, go and spread the word about these two games. They are some of the best titles for the PlayStation 4 and are criminally underrated and deserve way better.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Oh yea, Lahftel game recommendations are dominated by Square Enix titles, who would've thought? Why out of all the Final Fantasy games out there recommend this one? Well, because Final Fantasy XII is not only my favorite, it is also the only one that doesn't get the love it deserved. After coming out of a very troubled development cycle, it is suspiring what a complete experience the game ended up being.
Based on the world of Ivalice from Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII tells the story of Dalmasca, a small ancient kingdom caught up in the war between two empires. For a JRPG and especially a Final Fantasy, it is awe-inspiring how grounded the story of XII ends up being. You follow the perspective of Vaan, a young man who had been orphaned by ongoing war and is just trying to make ends meet for himself and his friends. And a daring heist would then spiral into him being dragged into the complicated politics of the world which, since it is a Final Fantasy also involves ancient powerful magic.
What makes the game is its amazing combat system which some had taunted as an offline MMORPG. Which is not that far from it but there is a lot more to it. Combat is rather slow so you have some wiggle room to control your entire party at once. The game also has the Gambit System, which allows you to program your party members so that they would heal each other if someone is in low health or to chain together attacks. It might sound weird, but the fact that you can use this system to absolutely annihilate bosses without even touching the controller just shows how good that system is.
All of this is complimented by the License Board system, which allows you to progress all your party members in whatever direction you like. Each character gets to pick two job licences, which they can then use to buy licenses for new abilities or gear. Want to play a mage with a gun? What about a fighter with pocket healer abilities? The game also features the coolest power couple in gaming with sky pirate Balthier and his partner in crime Fran.
And I should probably also mention that the team behind it went on to make and borrow a lot of Final Fantasy XII to make the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV and are currently working on Final Fantasy XVI which will release in the summer of next year. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. Go grab it, the HD remaster basically only upscaled the game's timeless art style and renders.
Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner M∀RS
Have you ever wondered what the video game version of Neon Genesis Evangelion would look like if you'd exchange all the Christian imagery with ancient Egyptian ones, set in space and written by the guy who made Metal Gear Solid? Here it is. Somewhat recently the second Zone of the Enders got a makeover and there is actually an HD edition of the first two games out there too for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. But I assume this game will be more accessible to more players, so we focus on this.
So yea, besides Metal Gear Solid and the Norman Reedus simulator Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima also made some other games while working for Konami. Besides Boktai, which was a GBA game about you having to go outside to collect sunlight. Zone of the Enders is a small series of games set in the mecha genre. Come to think it, the Metal Gear games only let you take control of their namesake mecha's once. And all of them are big and clunky and a stand-in metaphor for nuclear weapons.
ZoE on the other hand is fast, really, really fast and makes all of its genre colleagues move at a snail's pace in comparison. And it is very hard to explain the gameplay so… I'll try my best here. Imagine an action game in the vein of Devil May Cry, fast hack and slash just that you can move freely in 3D space. All of this happens super fast while you can select from an array of main and sub weapons while navigating through tightly designed levels. Zone of the Enders requires you to think fast and know your arsenal inside and out. It'll kick your ass if it finds you slacking and rewards perfect execution.
The gameplay is fantastic and there is even VR support for the PC and PlayStation versions. But if you're playing a Kojima game, you're expecting a story that seeks its equal. Don't worry, Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner does not require to you play the first one. The game centers around the conflict between humanity left on earth and the so-called ‘Enders' who left for the stars. After Dingo Egret's fate is intertwined with the mysterious superweapon Jehuty, he gets wrapped up in a conflict that threatens to destroy our solar system.
Not only is the soundtrack amazing, but even after almost 20 years and some HD enhancements the game still looks stylish and plays like a dream. Kind of like all of Kojima's work come to think of it. Even the old PlayStation One Metal Gear still plays smoothly compared to other titles of its age. Anyways! Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner M∀RS is available on PlayStation 4 and Steam.
I believe that Shadow of the Colossus and a lesser degree its predecessor ICO are those games that everyone in the industry knows that they are good. But as we're more and more removed from their release. None of the current crop of gamers has actually played them. And it is probably one of those titles, Shadow of the Colossus especially that lingers in the back of everyone's mind but is slowly being forgotten. With all the shiny melodramatic video games and multiplayer extravagances every year.
LEC 2023 Spring Split Teams Guide: Everything You Need to Know
So here is my ill-fated attempt to sell you on this classic. People like Zelda right? Especially the new one with the big open world that lets you go wherever you please? Now imagine that but the world is empty and desolate and your only mission is to find and slay 16 monsters roaming it. If you are used to open-world games with maps full of things to do, playing Shadow of the Colossus today is like trying to get sober. To this day there is nothing like it, the closest thing I've played in the recent years was probably Death Stranding in those stretches when it just shuts up and lets the world speak for itself.
All those little kinks like the camera doing its own thing, your horse not always listening and your character helplessly flailing about as the elements take their toll on him. You'll learn to appreciate them. And if I was to come out today and proudly proclaimed that Shadow of the Colossus is the greatest game of all time. I'm certain that there are many that would argue that as well. It is a lost art these days, to have games just shut up and speak for themselves. And while I'd like to gush about this game a lot more, I believe Shadow of the Colossus is more than capable to say a lot by just being experienced.
Go out and play this landmark title which should not be forgotten and probably should get at least a release on Steam, please Sony. There is currently an HD Remaster bundled with ICO, which is also one of the greatest PlayStation 2 games of all time. And more recently there was the PlayStation 4 Remake by Bluepoint which is an almost perfect translation of the original to modern platforms.
Tales of Berseria
The Tales of franchise is one of the great JRPG series. Similar to Final Fantasy, most entries have their own worlds and characters, with little crossover besides some references. The most recent Tales of Arise did really well in both reviews and sales and is probably the most modern version of those games you'll get to play today. But it is the previous entry in the franchise I want to talk about. Tales of Berseria. This game itself serves as a sort of prequel to Tales of Zesteria, but the games mostly draw on the same world-building and reference each other a little. So they can easily be enjoyed as standalone titles.
But Tales of Berseria earned a special place in my heart, yes it is at times one of those melodramatic anime games with a bunch of edgy, too cool for school characters. But that comes with the field. While being a JRPG, Tales of Berseria's twist is that you are playing the villains in a world trying to get rid of everything that is evil and unpure. Protagonist Velvet recruits like-minded individuals to enact revenge on those who wronged her. And what at first seems like a by-the-numbers revenge story, quickly turns into a rather heartfelt meditation on what good doing ‘the right thing' does for those who suffer for it.
Special praise goes to the English vocal performances, especially Cristina Valenzuela as Velvet and Erica Lindbeck as Magilou. Tales of Berseria was released in 2017 and is available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Steam, trust me its worth it.
Dragons Dogma
Ha thought you could get at least one article from me not mentioning Dragons Dogma you? Never! Dragons Dogma is an action RPG directed by the love of my life Hideaki Itsuno. Yes the Hideaki Itsuno behind Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5 aka three of the greatest action games of all time. The creator of Powerstone which also deserves more love and the guy who recently announced that there'll be a Dragons Dogma 2. I never stopped believing and I got rewarded.
When it came out, Dragons Dogma was wrongfully accused of being a Japanese spin on the popular Skyrim genre of video games. Because it had Dungeons and Dragons roots and centred around dragons. Instead, Dragons Dogma came out just before Dark Souls was released and quietly came to PC after everyone was already convinced that Dark Souls was the second coming of the video game Christ. I will cut myself short when I say, “I wish Dragons Dogma was in Dark Souls place”. And while I'm confident Capcom would've screwed it up, it would still be a net positive for the rest of the industry.
Yes, Dragons Dogma is one of my favorite games, actually, most tiles on this list are. But Dragons Dogma is one of those titles that is so much more than the sum of its parts, coming out in a time when the open-world RPG had yet to be defined by the Witcher 3. It is one of the most talented director's take on trying to gamify what it's like to be part in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. That's why a comparison to Dark Souls also feels a little unfair, because those two games try to create very different experiences.
Dragons Dogma is in love with its combat system, nothing plays like it. The closest you'll ever get is probably Monster Hunter. Here you scale enemies several times your height, hang on as they try to shake you off and make them fall for a devastating attack. Not only does it let you choose between several classes and their hybrids, every single one of them is broken in their own right. Want to one-hit kill griffons with a giant sword? Done. Want to break a dragon's head by parrying his dive? Sure. Use magic? You are god now.
All of this is combined with Dragons Dogma's pawn system, which lets you create your very own AI companion which you get to level up and teach things. You can also rent the AI companions of other players to take on adventures with you. Better yet, if a companion has already done a quest or defeated an enemy type they will shout enthusiastically solutions at you. (Wolves hunt in packs!) They will also learn and copy your behavior. So don't be alarmed when someone else's pawn strategically murders every single crate or barrel out there.
And the story of Dragons Dogma is also pretty good, it is your usual fantasy affair but it also feels very alien and weird. Something you don't really see in other games of its kind. And while it has many issues on a surface level, those issues make the experience so much better. Traveling from A to B sucks, so want to plan out your routes and stock up accordingly.
Go and buy it! It's really good and available on pretty much every modern platform. And the expansion Dark Arisen is a class of its own, also the music is amazing. Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen is available for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Switch.
And that's it with my recommendations of what you should put on your back burner. I think all of those games are more than worth playing, some of them really deserve more love and application. Especially since there are a lot of small design decisions you don't usually see in western games. But in fairness, I will also give you soon a list of great western games that I think to deserve a great audience. Till then, enjoy some more gaming shenanigans and eSports news here on ESTNN

Ethiopia: Copyrights and CopyCrimes
Posted on January 23, 2012 , Updated on January 23, 2012 by Alemayehu G. Mariam
Alemayehu G. Mariam
Crimes Against the Mind
If a person were to {www:maliciously} burn or {www:vandalize} another’s house, it would be regarded as a serious property crime under the laws of any nation. If one were to walk into a bookstore and steal thousands of books and give them away to any passerby, that would also be a major property crime. How about taking a copyrighted book, scanning it and making it available to anyone in digital form online? Is that a serious criminal act? Is it also an immoral and depraved act?
Is it fair?
When a publisher, author or artist produces a book, a piece of music, a painting or other similar work, s/he is creating intellectual property which is as valuable as any other kind of property recognized by law. Just as doctors, lawyers, engineers and others make a living by practicing their professions, those in the literary, artistic and publishing communities make their living from marketing their intellectual creations. But the total disrespect and contempt shown by some individuals to the intellectual property rights of Ethiopian musicians, artists and authors is downright sickening and maddening.
Today, the music of the legendary Ethiopian artists, including Tilahun Gessesse, Mahmoud Ahmed, Bizunesh Bekele, Alemayehu Eshete, Kiros Alemayehu, Kassa Tessema, Ketema Makonnen, Asnaketch Worku, Mary Armede, Hirut Bekele, Ali Birra, Aster Aweke, Kuku Sebsebie, Muluken Melesse, Teodros “Teddy Afro” Kassahun, Shambel Belayneh and so many others, are illegally and casually stored online and made freely available. The artists receive no payments and their work is distributed without their permission and often to the financial benefit (selling ads on websites, subscriptions, etc.) of the music pirates. The individuals who store the music illegally and those who download them illegally work together to not only impoverish these great artists but also destroy their creative potential and ability to enrich the culture.
Crimes Against the Press
This contemptible culture of online piracy passed another shameful milestone recently when an entire book was scanned and posted on the internet in clear violation of international and national copyright laws. The book in question was the recently published memoir of former Ethiopian junta leader Mengistu Hailemariam. The website that scanned and posted the book online justified its action as follows:
Mass murderer and brutal dictator Mengsitu Haile Mariam (exiled in Harare, Zimbabwe) has written a 500+ pages book that has been published by Tsehai Publisher of Los Angeles. This mass murderer has not yet atoned or paid for his horrendous crimes and the mass killings of the Red Terror. He now hopes to benefit from the sale of his book of lies. We strongly feel that this criminal should be tried before a court of law and should be hindered from benefitting from his crime. Thus, we have published the book in PDF and we are posting it for free usage of all interested readers.
The website operators defended their illegal copying and posting by claiming that they had a right to do so under American law:
Our action is protected by Son of Sam Law in the USA which prohibits criminals from profiting from their crimes by selling their stories to publishers. Accessories to such actions are also included in the prohibition and in certain cases the law can be extended beyond the criminal to include friends, neighbors and family members of the lawbreaker. Denying the holocaust is a crime in many countries and Mengistu denies firmly the Red Terror and the mass murders. Concerned Ethiopians are studying the possibility of a law suit against Mengistu and his LA based publisher who may also be a target of boycott by all Ethiopians. Assisting and helping mass murderers to profit from their crimes by publishing their book of lies is a crime by itself.
The illegal posting is allegedly motivated by the desire to prevent Mengistu from getting a “benefit from the sale of his book”, despite the fact that posting the digital copy of the book will give wider dissemination of what they described as a “book of lies”. Ironically, by posting the book online for all to read, the copyright infringers more likely gave great credibility to Mengistu’s claims about them than actually discrediting him. But the real target of the vengeance is the publisher, Tsehai Publishers, and not Mengistu. The copyright violators’ twisted message is simple: If they do not like the message of an author, they will retaliate by scanning and posting the author’s book online and bankrupt the publisher.
One can disagree deeply with Mengistu and the facts or lies contained in his memoir. Having read the book, I am critical of the accuracy and selective recollection of many of his “facts”; and disagree with his attempt to avoid personal and regime accountability for his gross violations of human rights. But that is the way of all dictators. They always try to tell their stories in heroic terms and attempt to justify their crimes as patriotic acts.
Although I disagree with Mengistu on numerous “facts” and unreservedly condemn his human rights record, I will be the first one to stand up and defend his right to write a book and publish it, even if it is all lies. To be sure, I defend Mengistu’s right to express himself just as vigorously as I defended the free speech rights of his successor Meles Zenawi when he spoke at Columbia University in September 2010. Why shouldn’t these two dictators be allowed to express themselves? Who is afraid of their “facts”, “lies”, ideas or opinions? Don’t the people have the right to hear these dictators and make their own judgment?
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” “Everyone” includes dictators and human rights violators. It is the moral duty of those of us who are committed to freedom, democracy and human rights to expose the lies, fabrications and brutality of dictators at every opportunity. By suppressing the views of the dictators, we not only undermine our own moral legitimacy against their lies but also prove to the world that we are indeed their clones. “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
Those who posted Mengistu’s book online are absolutely wrong on the law. The so-called “Son of Sam Law” they tout as authority for posting the book online was adopted in the State of New York in 1983 to prevent convicted criminals from selling their stories to publishers and profiting from the notoriety of their crimes. That law was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1991. New York adopted a narrowly tailored law in 2001 requiring, among other things, victim notification whenever a person convicted of a crime receives a certain amount of money. A similar law in California was struck down by that state’s highest court in 2002. Under federal law (18 U.S.C. § 3681 (2000) [Special Forfeiture of Collateral Profits of Crime]), the U.S. attorney may seek a federal court order authorizing “forfeiture of all or any part of proceeds from a contract relating to a depiction of such crime in a movie, book, newspaper, magazine, radio or television production…” There is no law in the United States that gives private parties the right to become “Special Prosecutors” to catch “mass murderers” who “profit from their crimes by publishing their book of lies” online, or violate the copyright of publishers in the name of preventing “mass murderers” from profiting. As a matter of law, no state or federal court has personal jurisdiction over Mengistu to deprive him of any “profits” he may get from the sale of the book. Even if such jurisdiction could be had, Mengistu would still be entitled to full due process of law before any court orders denial of proceeds from the sale of his book. Yes, dictators are also entitled to full due process before they are deprived of life, liberty and property.
Crimes Against Copyright Laws
The illegal posting of Mengistu’s memoir is not about lies, truths or criminals profiting from their crimes. It is about criminal infringement of copyrights. Since 1886, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works “Berne Convention”, see Art. 2) has been in place to protect literary and artistic works. Under 17 U.S.C. §506 (a )(1 )(B), “Any person who willfully infringes a copyright shall be punished as provided under section 2319 of title 18, if the infringement was committed… (B) by the reproduction or distribution, including by electronic means, during any 180–day period, of 1 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total retail value of more than $1,000.”
The whole idea in copyright law is to give the creator of an original work exclusive intellectual property rights for a specified amount of time, which in the U.S. is the lifetime of the author plus 70 years. During this period, the owner of a copyright has the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, perform, display, license, and prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work. Under the “fair use” rule, others may make limited use of the material for critical reviews of a work or for news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.
Crimes Against Culture
I suspect there may be some who are not familiar with Tsehai Publishers and the young man who has toiled so hard for so many years to create a publishing outlet to Ethiopian, African and other academics dedicated to scholarship on Ethiopia and the continent in general. Elias Wondimu started Tsehai Publishers in 1998. His aim was to create an institution that will “provide a venue for writers whose works may otherwise go unpublished.” Through these efforts, Elias hopes to achieve our goals of fostering intercultural dialogue and social justice.
Elias has an extraordinary and unrivalled record in seeking to enhance Ethiopian culture. He came to the U.S. in September 1994 to participate in the 12th International Ethiopian Studies Conference held at Michigan State University. Shortly thereafter, he began service as an editor for Ethiopian Review magazine, which appeared in print form until 2000. After closing out the print version of the magazine, he dedicated his time towards the establishing Tsehai Publishers, which is named in memory of his mother who died in Ethiopia in 1997. Over the past decade, Tsehai publishers, now based at Loyola Marymount University in California, has made available nearly 60 scholarly and literary works on a variety of topics, the vast majority of them concerned with Ethiopian and African affairs. The publications cover the entire political cross-section without partisanship and censorship.
Among the dozens of original scholarship and reprints of some classic works on Ethiopian and African history, politics, anthropology, sociology, economics, religion and culture include: Tradition & Change in Ethiopia (2010), Feudalism and Modernization in Ethiopia (2006), Wit and Wisdom of Ethiopia (1999), Enough with Famines in Ethiopia (2006), The Survival of Ethiopian Independence (2004), A Political History of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (2010), A History of the Beta Israel (Falasha) (2010), Protestant & Catholic Missions in Orthodox Ethiopia (2007), Life and Culture in the Townships of Cape Town (2007), AIDS Orphans and their Grandparents (2006), Wax and Gold (2005), Civil Wars and Revolution in the Sudan (2005), Ethiopia in Wartime (2004). A complete list is available here.
In 2004, Tsehai Publishers established The International Journal of Ethiopian Studies (IJES), currently available on JSTOR, the international online system for archiving academic journals. A number of Ethiopian academics and scholars including myself and professors Maimire Mennasemay, Worku Negash and Alula Pankhurst have served as senior editors. IJES is an interdisciplinary, refereed journal which is published twice a year and dedicated to scholarly research relevant to or informed by the Ethiopian experience. IJES publishes articles in English and Amharic. The Journal’s mission statement explains that
IJES will, for the first time, provide Ethiopian scholars with an Ethiopian venue for reflecting seriously on Ethiopian issues from a scholarly perspective… One of the deepest obstacles to African (including Ethiopian) progress towards democracy and economic prosperity is the peculiar situation of Africans being reduced to an object of knowledge by contemporary social science. The absence of Africans, including Ethiopians, as self-examining, self-evaluating, self-defining, and self-propelling subjects of history [has resulted in our] total dependence on external (European and American) definitions, interpretations, explanations, evaluations of who we are and what our problems and their solutions are.”
Tsehai Publishers has also organized a number of number of national conferences covering a wide range of issues and topics and sponsored a film festival for young filmmakers. The list of Elias’ contributions to the intellectual life of the Ethiopian, African and international communities is significant and much appreciated.
Those of us who take great pride in what Elias has accomplished could be faulted for speaking very highly of him. Perhaps others who have looked at his efforts could offer a more objective assessment. Prof. Wendy Belcher of Princeton University writes:
Elias is doing something unusual and important. There are very few publishers from the African continent, and, in the U.S., there are [only] a handful which are run by Africans and are publishing African texts. For an Ethiopian to have a press is more appropriate than almost any other nationality. They’ve had a written language going back 3,000 years and have long been in the business of printing and preserving the written word. He’s in a long, honorable line.
Such is the contribution of Elias and Tsehai Publishers to the preservation, conservation and glorification of Ethiopian and African history and culture. Those who illegally copied and posted the book are not attacking the author of the book, but Elias and Tsehai Publishers. Their crimes are against the very essence of Ethiopian and African culture and those scholars and authors who spend years researching their works. All Ethiopians and Africans are victims of this cowardly crime.
It is important to know that Elias has brought great honor and pride to all Ethiopians. In 2007, he was named Ambassador for Peace by the Universal Peace Federation and the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace to help establish lines of dialogue between African scholars, poets, historians, academics, aesthetes, journalists and scholars. In 2008, he was profiled in the inaugural edition of Who’s Who in Black Los Angeles along with such distinguished individuals as Steve Wonder, Tavis Smiley, Kobe Bryant, Isaiah Washington and Dr. Maulana Karenga. He was also profiled in a special edition of the LA Weekly as one the leading independent presses in Los Angeles. He has been interviewed on the Voice of America, National Public Radio, Deutsche Welle Radio, SBS Australia and other media on various cultural topics.
Let’s Right a CopyWrong: A Special Plea to All Ethiopians and Others Who Value a Free Press
This past week, the U.S. Congress considered two laws aimed at the type of copyright crime committed against Tsehai Publishers. The Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act (“PIPA”) would have allowed the U.S. Attorney General to require domain name registries to “suspend operation of, and lock, the domain name” of a website “dedicated to infringing activity.” The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) would have expanded the ability of U.S. law enforcement to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property. While lawmakers wrestle with the issues, we can all do our part to support, protect and preserve a unique and irreplaceable institution in the Ethiopian/African Diaspora. Above all, we should defend the right to press freedom and free speech against not only dictators who shutter newspapers and close down publishing houses but also those who use copyright blackmail and the threat of financial bankruptcy against publishers.
Let us do the right thing!
Those who have downloaded the book in digital or print form aware or unaware of the criminality of the act should delete it permanently from your computers and discard the printed version.
Those who have read the book online should have the courage of their convictions to contact Tsehai Publishers pay what is justly due at the link here.
Most importantly, we all need to show moral outrage by speaking out against such copyright criminality and moral courage by doing our part to support Tsehai Publishers for it is a treasure we cannot afford to lose.
Let us make our donations in any amount we can by pressing on this link.
On a personal note, I ask those who have followed my weekly commentaries and essays over the past six years to help me help Tsehai Publishers. I believe in Tsehai Publishers and fully support the efforts of Elias Wondimu and his associates who have toiled for years to make a gift of light (Tsehai) to all of us. It is a simple choice we face: We can do nothing and let darkness overwhelm our history, culture and future. Or we can do something and keep the sun shining brightly on Ethiopia, Africa and beyond!
Would you please help me help Tsehai Publishers? Please donate by pressing here. Any amount will do. THANKS….

The Week That Was…

4th Years Count Down the Days…
The Class of 2013 celebrated 200 Days to Graduation this past Monday by switching places with the Class of 2016 and going back to 1st Year for a day. As is tradition at the College, 1st Year Cadets could win the privilege of wearing 4th Year No. 4’s for the day by answering questions prepared by the 4th Years. The “new” 1st Years proved to be a bit of a challenge for their 4th Year staff to handle, but it was all in good fun.
More Cadets Move to the Ranks
It has become routine in the last few months: a small number of Cadets have been leaving the College to continue their careers in the CF as non-commissioned members. Each Relinquishment Ceremony is held in the Memorial Staircase of Mackenzie Building, and is conducted in exactly the same manner as a promotion ceremony would be. This past Monday morning, OCdt Alyssa Gladue, OCdt Justin George, and OCdt Sam Huyer, all from the Aboriginal Leadership Opportunity Year, and 26505 OCdt Tyler Van der Rijt, relinquished their status as Officer Cadets and became non-commissioned members of the CF.
“I am proud of you, and just think, maybe someday one of you will be back here as the College Chief Warrant Officer,” Col Stephen Saulnier, Head of the Applied Military Sciences Department and who officiated the ceremony in the absence of the Commandant, BGen Eric Tremblay, told the Cadets. “Wouldn’t that be something…? A College Chief with a College number.”
Australian Defence Advisor Visits College
Article by 25316 (IV) Victoria Benotto
This past Wednesday, RMC had the opportunity to host a visiting guest, the Australian Defense Advisor, Wing Commander Russel Page. Wing Commander Page gave two presentations: ‘Australia 101’, and the current state and future vision of the Australian Forces. ‘Australia 101’ touched on the history, geography, demographics, culture, and the beauty ‘Down Under’, but showed its dark side as well – the lethal wildlife. The second presentation was very informative and covered the organization and makeup of the Australia Forces, its roles, interests, equipment, weaponry, and the higher up’s vision for the Australia Forces (both its short and long term goals).
Probably the most interesting part of the presentation was the relationship between the Australian Forces and the Canadian Forces. The two forces share many similarities and have been allied militarily as far back as the nineteenth century.
Working in collaboration and fighting together in the two World Wars has fostered bonds that have since lead Australia to be one of Canada’s top allies. The two countries are both very similar with regards to their military forces, and they continue to support one another. One example of this is the multiple military foreign exchange positions that are made available in both countries annually.
In light of this, it is imperative for the Fourth Year class, the future leaders of our Canadian Forces, to be cognoscente of the background of our Aussie comrades. We look forward to working together with our brothers in future joint endeavors.

The Eastern Partnership: From Security to Resilience
Anna Barseghyan
In March 2020, the European Commission released a document entitled “The Eastern Partnership beyond 2020: Reinforcing resilience – an Eastern Partnership that delivers for all” which is meant to be its policy guide toward six eastern neighbors: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Since the launch of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) in 2009 as part of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) specialized in its eastern neighbors, the EU adopted several policy documents on which to anchor the relationship. However, these documents are derived from the EU’s foreign policy strategies and European Neighbourhood Policy. To understand the main policy approaches of the second decade of the Eastern Partnership, there is a need to trace back and do a comparative analysis of other similar documents adopted by the EU.
The core principle of the “The Eastern Partnership beyond 2020” document is resilience, which is taken from the “EU Global Strategy,” adopted in 2016. Resilience is defined as the ability of states and societies to reform, withstand and recover from domestic and international crises, on the basis of a minimum level of democracy, rule of law and sustainable development. The concept was accepted as the foundation for relations with neighbors. However, the concept is criticized for signaling the end of Europe’s normative power in favor of pragmatic power. Resilience is a pathway for the EU to develop relations with its neighbors without requiring them to enhance their democratic institutions. Back in the 2000s, the EU was criticized for having cozy relations with authoritarian states like Libya. By prioritizing resilience, the EU was able to rationalize establishing close trade relations with neighbors that did not share European values. Thus, the inclusion of the principle of resilience in the “The Eastern Partnership beyond 2020” document demonstrates that the pragmatic priorities of the EU have not changed and they will continue to be the pillars of its relationship with its neighbors.
Surrounding Oneself with Friends
The other focal principles of the new document are increased differentiation, greater ownership, enhanced focus and greater flexibility for each partner country. To understand how these principles came about, one needs to dig into the roots of the European Neighbourhood Policy. As a response to the EU’s great enlargement, when ten European states joined the “democratic club,” on March 11, 2003, the Commission presented the “Wider Europe-Neighbourhood: A New Framework for Relations with our Eastern and Southern Neighbours” document, which declares a new policy framework with the 16 new neighbors from Maghreb and Mashriq to the Caucasus. Among them are Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, Palestine, Russia, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine.
The EU aimed to create a ring of friends, a stable, secure and wealthy zone in its neighborhood. At the turn of the 21st century, war had erupted in Iraq, the world was shaken from the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and authoritarian regimes ruled the Mediterranean countries to the EU’s south. The democratization of the region became the objective of the EU. It was a center-periphery approach, which didn’t work well because it assumed one-size-fits-all. Of course, the challenges and the needs of Ukraine are different from Jordan, however. Eventually, the EU floated the idea of joint ownership, where both sides were more equal partners. However, it was still a strategy for the EU to impose its values. The main tool was positive conditionality – “more for more” – meaning that the countries that make more progress toward European norms will get more financial support. Unfortunately, the rich authoritarian states, which were already flush with cash as they were enjoying an oil boom at the time, weren’t interested in loosening their control. The ENP initiative was quite new both for the EU and for the neighbors. Many mistakes were made, but it provided a solid basis for future policy.
Committing to Deep Democracy
With the rise of the Arab Spring and the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU made a revision to the ENP in 2011, as a response to internal and external challenges. The situation around Europe and inside Europe was changing drastically. The main concept of the document was “deep democracy” and the EU considered its mission to be assisting these countries as they embark on the journey toward deep (institutionalized) democracy. It should be noted that the main focus was on the southern partners rather than the eastern ones. The main emphasis of the revision was on democracy promotion, institutional transformation, strengthening basic law and human rights, maintaining good governance, reforming the judiciary system, combating corruption, supporting economic modernization and integrating into the global economic system. There was more focus on civil society and, due to this policy, the “civil society facility” and the “European Endowment for Democracy” were created. However, the strategy could not find the solution the EU needed back then. One of the main drawbacks of the strategy was the absence of a mechanism for influence. The EU wanted to promote democracy; however, it did not have a mechanism to do so. Everything depended on the good will of the authoritarian leaders. Again, a “one size fits all” approach was taken, which did not meet the needs of each neighbor.
The EU had to revise the ENP one more time in 2015. Considering the geopolitical situation with Russia, the Ukrainian conflict and the migration crisis, the EU had to face new challenges and adopt an appropriate posture. The EU, which had proposed creating a ring of friends around itself, a zone of security and prosperity, had to deal instead with a “ring of fire.” Thus, the EU had to reduce its ambitions and adopt a more practical approach. The main focus was on differentiation, focus, ownership, visibility and flexibility. As mentioned above, these principles also guide the Eastern Partnership second decade strategy. With the 2015 revision, the center-periphery approach was replaced by the “pick and choose” approach. “More for more” or “less for less” had no place in the document. The EU let neighbors define the scope of the relationship. For example, if Azerbaijan was not interested in democracy promotion, they could engage in sector-specific cooperation, such as in energy security. The policy gave a flexible choice to the neighbors to decide the depth of the relations. As a result, three out of six Eastern Partnership countries – Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine – signed Association Agreements and established Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTAs) with the EU, which is considered the highest form of cooperation between EU and non-EU members. Armenia preferred a Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which allows keeping a balance between the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the European Union. Azerbaijan is negotiating a strategic partnership agreement, while relations with Belarus are frozen. It seems flexibility, ownership and differentiation were a response to the challenges the EU had faced since the launch of the European Neighbourhood Policy.
Resilience is the Key
Five years after the revision of the European Neighborhood Policy, the EU adopted a more specific policy approach for the six Eastern Partnership countries. Each partner is free to choose their framework for relations. However, we are left with a huge question mark: What is next?
“The Eastern Partnership beyond 2020” raised more questions than it answered. It is clear there is no prospect of membership for the countries who yearn for it. The Association Agreement and DCFTA are the highest forms of cooperation before membership. Usually, the EU makes these agreements with countries that have membership aspirations. It is a part of the step-by-step approach toward full integration. However, it seems that Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine will stay in this stage for a while.
The EaP beyond 2020 has five flexible and connected long-term policy objectives:
1. Working together for resilient, sustainable and integrated economies
2. Working together for accountable institutions, the rule of law and security
3. Working together toward environmental and climate change resilience
4. Working together toward a concrete digital transformation
5. Working together for fair and inclusive societies
One main concept that has been removed from the initial ENP document is democracy. The EU has slightly changed the zenith of cooperation from democracy promotion to the execution of functioning democracy. All the proposed objectives are concrete, straight and achievable. However, there is a risk that the Eastern Partnership countries, which are very fragile democracies and in between authoritarianism and democracy, will not demonstrate the willpower to transform into well-functioning democracies.
Summing up, the EU policy toward its neighbors has had several transformations. All external and internal factors had contributed to shaping policy perspectives, which are the driving force for the current setup. As a result, from a “one size fits all” approach, when the milestone for each neighbor was to sign an Association Agreement and DCFTA, the EU now suggests a “pick and choose” approach. From a holistic starting point, it has moved toward privileged sector-based cooperation. From center-periphery relations, the EU and its neighbors now have joint ownership. All these transformations assist the EU in building relations that are more pragmatic, goal-oriented and achievable. The EU has stopped being the “democracy inspector” of the region; however, by changing tactics, the EU wants to have a neighborhood of functioning democracies.

Delaware Charter School Network
I’m sure it will come as no secret that I don’t have a lot of love for the Delaware Charter Schools Network. I think they have entirely way too much influence on education in Delaware. Roughly 10% of Delaware students attend charter schools. In the grand scheme of things, that is not a huge number. The vast majority of charter school students are in Newcastle County, as they have the largest number of charters.
So why is it that these schools, representing not even a quarter of the population of students in Delaware, cause such controversy? It could be the propaganda behind them. The Charter School Law in Delaware was created in 1995. The original law’s intent is vastly different than the charter school landscape we see nearly 20 years later. What caused the ground to shift? One word: Rodel. When Paul Herdman took the reigns as executive director of Rodel in 2004, the charters were well-positioned in Delaware, and they were growing in popularity. When Herdman and his group of “education pioneers” started exerting their influence on Delaware education, No Child Left Behind was in full swing. Herdman’s blueprint almost disappeared, but he wisely backed Jack Markell in his candidacy for Governor of Delaware. Their blueprint is almost identical to what has come since: Common Core, standardized tests, teacher effectiveness, more charter schools, priority schools, etc. Many students have attended charter schools to escape problems in public schools: large classroom sizes, bullying, and sad to say, to be with their own race.
While the race issue is not seen so much in Kent County with it’s five charter schools, it is much more predominant in Newcastle County. So much so that the American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware and Community Legal Aid, Inc. have filed a complaint with the Federal Office of Civil Rights, targeting the State of Delaware and Red Clay Consolidated School District. The accusing parties feel the state and Red Clay have allowed segregation to reappear in Delaware schools.
As a response, the executive director of the Delaware Charter Schools Network, Kendall Massett, publicly stated the allegations against Delaware charter schools was a myth. Unfortunately, this “myth” has played out in many states across our country. I am a proud supporter of public education in Delaware, and I firmly believe if the public school districts were given more adequate funding, they would be looked at very differently by citizens of our state. The problem with charter schools is their non-transparency. Family Foundations Academy, and their current allegations of financial embezzlement, spotlight this very fact. How do we truly know the data provided by the charter schools is even accurate?
The way charters are presented in the media, they can do no wrong. There is a very good reason for that. The Delaware Business Roundtable pays for the bulk of the advertising in our major media outlets, such as the News Journal. The Business Roundtable is a consortium of the largest businesses in Delaware and they are also some of the largest supporters of charter schools in Delaware. I sent quite a few hints to the Delaware News Journal to pick up on the story of Family Foundations Academy. They reported nothing until the Delaware Department of Education announced there was a 200 page audit of the schools finances which caused a delay in the decision on their charter renewal.
Twenty years ago, any newspaper with a shred of decency would have jumped on a story like that and found out more facts than Kilroy’s Delaware and Exceptional Delaware did. But this is the reality we live in. Recently, Red Clay Educators Association President Mike Matthews and Delaware Secretary of Education Mark Murphy both had letters to the editor in the Delaware News Journal about the priority schools in Wilmington. A type of Facebook rivalry developed between the competing contributors, and Matthews was clearly in the lead with Facebook shares. By early afternoon that Sunday, all the Facebook comments and number of shared posts had been deleted on Facebook. Many of the opponents of corporate education reform have reported similar events occurring with the News Journal.
When you have a media bias going on, a large conglomerate of businesses supporting an ideal, and a system within the Department of Education and State Government stacking the deck for the charter schools there will be casualties. That is the public school district system in Delaware.
Nowhere is this more pronounced than the Delaware Charter Schools Network. I view them as one of the largest enemies of public school district education in Delaware. To truly understand any enemy, you have to understand them. My son went to a charter school in Delaware, and he had a horrible experience there. As a child who attended a charter school from 1st to the beginning of 4th grade, these were his key years. The foundations of his education happened during these years. Unfortunately, that foundation was made of glass and shattered. While this could be seen as a bias of my own, I am not alone in feeling this way. Hundreds of parents have gone through these types of problems at Delaware charter schools.
I recently started looking at what the Delaware Charter Schools Network puts out there. Aside from their “point of view” editorials in the News Journal, I went to their website. I began to more clearly understand what they tell parents to make them believe charters are better for students than regular public schools. One of my favorite blogs in Delaware, Transparent Christina, sometimes goes through editorials or articles and they will do what is called a “red pen” edition where they comment throughout. I will gladly copy that tactic (and I’m sure John won’t mind) with what I found in the Delaware Charter Schools Network November online newsletter:
Thankful for Our Schools
By: Kendra Giardiniere, DCSN Program Manager
A few weeks ago I was out to dinner with a group of friends who also happen to be educators at schools in Wilmington. We were talking about the new priority schools plan that the Department of Education has put into action for 6 district schools in Downtown Wilmington. You can read up on this plan HERE, but the main idea is that the State has set aside extra money to improve academic outcomes at these schools.
Which is essentially next to nothing with this amount of money per individual student. Most of these funds would go towards new school “leaders” (aka transplants from charter schools chains and TFA and TNTP organizations) and “planners” (more of the same).
To obtain the funds, the school has to create a plan to improve student academics, based on a rubric created by the Department of Education.
To obtain the funds, the schools have to resort to what can only be seen as bullying by Governor Markell, Secretary of Education Mark Murphy and Penny Schwinn.
They have to submit the plan by Jan. 1, and if it is approved, they will get the money.
If their plan strays too much from the DOE’s original MOU, Markell will take the schools anyways which is what he wanted all along, to personally insult the educators in these schools. The timeline has been extended into January, but I’m sure the DOE has planned for this all along as well, so they can paint the school districts in a more negative light in the media after the holidays.
If it is not approved, the school will be given the option of closing or flipping to a high-performing charter school.
The school doesn’t have that option, that rests solely in the hands of Governor Jack Markell, under executive order, with more loopholes in state code and regulation than any normal citizen can barely understand.
We were talking through this charter school piece when one of my tablemates said “But what I don’t understand is how turning a school into a charter will help. Won’t the charter school just kick out all the bad kids? Then where will they go?” Ouch. That comment stung.
It stung because it’s true. This is no myth, this is reality, played out time and time again in many Delaware charter schools. Especially to children with disabilities who are denied accommodations they are federally entitled too based on IDEA law. If these students have “behavior” problems, the schools can’t wait to either counsel them out or expel them.
But that’s the perception isn’t it? People believe that the reason charter schools are successful is because they take the “best kids” from the district schools and kick out children with behavioral disorders and disabilities.
Perception and reality are two different things. If a charter schools success is measured by standardized test scores, they don’t fare all that much better than the public school districts. Those that have similar test scores to the “priority” schools and other “partnership zone” schools, are sent to the Charter School Accountability Committee at the Delaware DOE and given warnings or a death sentence. But that’s okay, because for every charter school the DOE closes there are probably five more waiting in the wings.
If you know me, you know that prior to being the Program Manager at DCSN, I was a kindergarten teacher at Kuumba Academy in Wilmington. I also spent the last year tutoring two Kuumba 4th graders. One of my tutoring students was new at Kuumba — he came from a district school in Wilmington. Alton* was at least two grades behind in reading. He told me that he was behind because at his old school he was a “bad kid”– he spent a lot of time in the dean’s office or at home after having been suspended.
Which school was this? If you changed the name of the student, you can name the school. How do we even know this story is even true?
His teacher at Kuumba was a friend of mine, and hearing about his track record made us worried for this child’s progress. But week after week Alton came to class and tutoring, and week after week he had perfect behavior. He was far behind the rest of the students in the class, but that didn’t seem to bother him. He was engaged. He asked good questions. He did his homework and his classwork. He did the extra credit. The mom, the teacher, the student, and the tutor — we worked as a team. At the end of the year, I was shocked at Alton’s test scores. At his end of year conference, we revealed to Alton and his mother that he would be promoted to the fifth grade–Alton cracked a huge smile, his mother cried . . . I almost cried too! This child had never seen success in school. And here he was — the poster child for student success!
Once again, based on standardized test scores. Alton was obviously taught how to perform well on DCAS. That worked out well for Alton, but how many Altons are there in the priority schools. I would hazard to guess, there are probably twenty-five Altons in the priority schools for every one at Kuumba Academy. But let’s raise the bar of success at Kuumba based on one student getting tons of extra support provided with free tutoring. Have you ever tutored one of the kids in the priority schools?
When I think about all of the negativity and misconceptions surrounding charter schools, I think about this student. Maybe there is some truth to what they say — “Charter schools have the best kids”. Shouldn’t every school believe that their kids are the best kids? I’m so grateful for the children and families I met while I taught at Kuumba. They showed me that it is possible for children to overcome their circumstances.
What are you smoking? The playing field is not level. “Charter schools have the best kids.” Nobody has ever said that. What we have been saying is they have more economically advantaged kids and smarter kids in some schools, and high groups of minorities and low-income kids in others. I don’t believe for one second that many charter schools in Wilmington and other areas of the state don’t carefully screen and evaluate every single application they receive. I wouldn’t be shocked if the DOE gave many charter schools each student’s DCAS scores. They probably accept a few lower scoring students to make it look less obvious.
They showed me that if you set high standards, and if you work like failure is not an option, children can succeed despite any number of horrible and debilitating events going on in their lives.
You must belong to the Penny Schwinn school of thought were crime and violence in Wilmington “isn’t necessarily a hurdle to overcome”. And once again, these success stories are based on standardized test scores that have yet to be evidence of long-term success in any child’s life. Some students just don’t do well on these tests, no matter how intelligent they might be. Instead, these students with the promise of success feel like failures. That should never be an option.
I wish I could tell you that every single student I taught had success stories like Alton’s. For many students, it’s more of a long and arduous road to success, peppered with little wins along the way. But it’s that incredible growth mindset that keeps students moving year after year–the belief that a person’s situation is changeable. That growth mindset is taught through a school culture that embraces students for who they are, where they come from, and where they can go.
Where are they going? Do you have any statistical data to back up this claim? Do you have data showing students are more successful after college because they went to a charter school? Public schools don’t have the same mindset that embraces students for who they are? Where is the data for that?
This Thanksgiving, I want to encourage our community to think about the positive. What success stories have you witnessed? Where have you seen our charter movement succeed? Share it with us and add the hashtag #DECharters. If we share these stories of hard working students, dedicated teachers, loving parents, and infectious school culture, then together we can correct the misconceptions about our schools and help Delaware families understand that all kids have the potential to be the “best kids” — they just need the right environment, a school community that supports them, and teachers that truly believe in them.
Wow, what a rousing amount of public support you received under the hashtag of #DECharters. For the time period of May 6th until the present, I saw an astonishingly large number of 0 (that would be zero) parents commenting under that hashtag. What I did see was @DECharterNetwrk and other charter schools promoting charters in Delaware, along with some other education reform companies pimping their wares. This reminded me of the time Kendall Massett went on Delaware Townsquare’s website and wrote a column asking for the same thing, and the only comments were from like-minded citizens bashing charter schools in Delaware.

Okay, I went to your Facebook page. Once again, I didn’t see anyone other than one possible parent complimenting the performances students had at your organization’s IDEA Awards show in October. Which I’ve publicly stated is an insult to the actual IDEA law that serves students with disabilities. Something you banned me from your Twitter account for when I dared you to discuss special education. But I won’t go over all that again!
Where are all the parents? I don’t see the parents on your social media sites. Unless you pulled some Jedi mind trick on me, “These are not the parents you’re looking for.” So this leaves me to ask, what exactly is the purpose of the Delaware Charter Schools Network? I know you have your charter expos where parents can come and look at prospective schools for their children. From the attendance figures you report on social media, I’ll say you do get a bit of a crowd. Not a huge one, but a decent size.
I’m going to say you are more of a lobbyist group than a parent group. I believe your target audience is Legislative Hall and the Charter School Group at the DOE. I believe your primary goal is to get as many charter schools crammed into our little state as you possibly can. Your stated mission on your website states the following:
The Delaware Charter Schools Network provides advocacy and support for the charter school movement and charter schools in Delaware. The Network educates the public about charter schools, provides assistance to existing Delaware charter schools and those yet to open, and serves as a voice for the state’s charter schools at the state and national level.
In Delaware, charter schools play a critical role in our public education system – we are the educational choice for 10% of Delaware’s public school students. DCSN currently supports 24 Delaware charter schools educating 12,521 students and over 1000 school administrators and staff members.
I was just curious, where was your support for Gateway Lab School? Cause I didn’t see you charging out of the gate to support them when parents were crying foul over the DOE’s failed attempt at non-charter renewal. As well, I haven’t seen you mention one iota of a word about Family Foundations Academy. So I would have to see you only support schools that make you look good! Can’t be a part of any controversy! Although you did move very fast when I publicly pointed out Sean Moore, the head of school at Family Foundations, was the treasurer of your governing board. He was off your website within two days!
Shouldn’t that number be 22 (maybe 21 if Family Foundations gets shut down)? Since two charters will be on the chopping block this year, Moyer and Reach, and we didn’t see your public support for them, shouldn’t you be a bit more honest about your declared purpose?

38th coronation
Celebrating the Diamond Jubilee with 10 royal London locations – 4. Westminster Abbey…
by exploringlondon May 9, 2012
Westminster Abbey has played a key role in the life of Queen Elizabeth II – it was here on 20th November, 1947, that she was married to Prince Philip (then Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten) and it was here on 2nd June, 1953, that she was crowned Queen Elizabeth II.
First to the wedding. Princess Elizabeth was only the 10th royal to be married in the Abbey (her predecessors included her parents who married here on 26th April, 1923). The ceremony started at 11.30am and the princess, who wore a white dress designed by Norman Hartnell, entered to a specially composed fanfare accompanied by eight bridesmaids and two pages.
Due to post war austerity measures, only about 2,000 people attended the wedding (we’ve previously mentioned that the princess had to save coupons for her wedding dress like any other bride). On the day, the grave of the Unknown Warrior was the only stone that was not covered by the special carpet and the day after the wedding, the now married Princess Elizabeth followed a royal tradition started by her mother, Queen Elizabeth, which involved sending her wedding bouquet back to the Abbey to be laid on the grave.
It was about five-and-a-half years after her wedding that the princess returned to the Abbey to be crowned a queen.
Then Princess Elizabeth was in Kenya (on her way to Australia) when news reached her on 6th February that year of the death of her father, King George VI. After Prince Philip broke the news to her, the new queen chose Elizabeth as her “regnal name”, and the couple returned to England.
Queen Elizabeth II’s grandmother, Queen Mary, died on 24th March, but it was decided to proceed with the coronation anyway (Queen Mary had apparently asked that the coronation not be delayed by her death).
The coronation, the 38th to be conducted in the Abbey, was the first to be televised (with the exception of the anointing and communion) and was “instrumental” in helping to popularise it in the UK and elsewhere.
The building was closed for five months so preparations could be made for the more than 8,000 wedding guests. The Queen’s coronation dress, meanwhile, was made by Norman Hartnell (as had been her wedding dress) and was made of white satin embroidered with emblems of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
Having arrived from Buckingham Palace in the Gold State Coach, the Queen entered the Abbey at 11.20am and, having been invested with the Regalia while seated in the Coronation Chair, was crowned with St Edward’s Crown at 12.34pm. She left the Abbey at 2.53pm and rode through the streets of London back to the palace.
Of course, the Queen has since attended many other events at the Abbey – including thanksgiving services for their golden and silver wedding anniversaries and last year’s Royal Wedding – since her coronation which we don’t have space to talk about here. But it is worth noting before signing off that the Abbey continues to have a special relationship to her – it is a “Royal Peculiar” meaning it is exempt from any ecclesiastical jurisdiction but that of the Sovereign.

After Record-Setting Regular Season, Dodgers Flame Out in Playoffs
LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The Los Angeles Dodgers will begin their offseason Sunday, far earlier than expected.
After winning a franchise-record 111 games in the regular season, the Dodgers were eliminated from the postseason Saturday night with a 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres at Petco Park to lose a National League Division Series three games to one in one of the greatest postseason upsets in baseball history.
The Padres won 89 games in the regular season, 22 fewer than the Dodgers. The only greater difference in victories for a postseason series winner was the 1906 Chicago White Sox, who defeated the Chicago Cubs in the World Series after winning 23 fewer games in the regular season.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called the loss “crushing.” He said the “shock factor” was “very high” as was the disappointment.
“You’ve got to give the Padres credit,” Roberts said after a Dodgers season was ended by a team with fewer regular-season victories for the fourth time in his seven seasons as manager. “They outplayed us this series.”
The Dodgers won the opener in the best-of-five series when ace Julio Urías took the mound and four relievers limited San Diego to three hits over the final four innings in a 5-3 victory Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, then lost each of the next three games, never scoring more than three runs in a game.
The Dodgers had a 93.5% chance of winning Saturday when their lead grew to 3-0 in the top of the seventh inning on Will Smith’s sacrifice fly that drove in Mookie Betts, according to ESPN Analytics.
However, their lead was gone five batters into the bottom of the seventh after San Diego combined a walk to Jackson Profar, a single by Trent Grisham, an infield single by its No. 9 hitter Austin Nola, a double by Ha- Seong Kim and Juan Soto’s single for three runs.
Manny Machado struck out for the first out and Brandon Drury fouled out to Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman for the second out.
Yency Almonte, the second Dodgers pitcher of the inning, was supposed to throw to first to give Alex Vesia more time to warm up, Roberts said. Instead, he threw a four-seam fastball to Jake Croneworth for a ball.
“I don’t know how it got lost in translation,” Roberts said.
Vesia entered the game with the count 1-0. On the 1-2 pitch, Soto was credited with a stolen base when Smith, the Dodgers catcher, did not throw to second base. Croneworth hit the next pitch for single, driving in Kim and Soto and giving the Padres a 5-3 lead.
Robert Suarez, the fifth San Diego pitcher, retired the Dodgers in order in the eighth. Josh Hader struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth, ending the game by striking out Freeman on three pitches for his third postseason save in three postseason save opportunities in 2022.
The Dodgers were out-hit, 9-7, left nine runners on base and were 2- for-9 with runners in scoring position. The Padres left eight runners on base and were 4-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
Almonte was charged with the loss, allowing two runs and two hits in two-thirds of an inning.
Tim Hill, the third San Diego pitcher, was credited with the victory, retiring both batters he faced in the seventh.
Dodgers starter Tyler Anderson pitched five shutout innings, allowing two hits. He struck out six and walked two.
Roberts said “there was some thought” about allowing Anderson to pitch the sixth inning, “but I thought where he was at with his pitch count, who was coming up, I just felt that we had enough arms to get through that.”
“With a 2-0 lead, Soto, Machado coming up again, I just felt that he’s going to be in the 90s at that point in time, I felt that we had enough coverage,” Roberts said.
Anderson threw 86 pitches.
Padres starter Joe Musgrove allowed two runs and six hits over six innings, striking out eight and walking three.
The Dodgers opened the scoring in the third when Freeman doubled in Betts, who walked, and Trea Turner, who doubled.
The Dodgers added a run in the seventh. Steven Wilson issued a full- count walk to Betts, the first batter he faced. Betts moved to second on a wild pitch and third on Trea Turner’s bunt single. Freeman was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Smith followed with a sacrifice fly.
On Hill’s first pitch, Turner and Freeman executed a double steal, giving the Dodgers runners on second and third with one out, but Max Muncy struck out and Justin Turner grounded out to end the inning.
The victory advances the Padres to the National League Championship Series for the first time since 1998. They’ll face the Philadelphia Phillies beginning Tuesday at Petco Park.
The Dodgers were the second team to be eliminated from the postseason after receiving a first-round bye under the expanded playoff format instituted this season. The NL East champion Atlanta Braves lost their NLDS to the Phillies in another upset.
The New York Yankees, who also received a bye, trail their American League Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians, two games to one, entering Sunday’s play. The fourth team to receive a bye, the Houston Astros, swept their ALDS against the Seattle Mariners in three games.
The Dodgers concluded the regular season Oct. 5, but did not begin postseason play until Oct. 11.
Roberts said the layoff is “not something that we want to look at as an excuse.”
“That’s kind of the format the way it is, and you do the best you can in the regular season to put yourself in a position to get home-field advantage, to get the bye in the wild-card round, and it’s up to us to kind of prepare ourselves the best way we can to get through a division series, and we didn’t,” Roberts said.

Social Media: how much have our lives changed?

My best definition of social media is people on the left, people on the right, and technology in the middle. It is the democratization of information and content, the convenience and equal opportunity to share and connect with others, and the fulfillment of “the world is a global village” prophecy.
For some, social media is a magic wand to be wielded as they please, whether positively or negatively. It is at the heart of discussions around the world, from boardrooms to houses of parliament, marketplaces to bedrooms. It is alternate reality for some, and a mask to hide behind to perpetuate falsehood, bully, or exact vengeance against others.
Social media is many things, and does many things for many people. It is the voice of the common man, the route to recourse for offended customers and the immediate audience for the citizen journalist. Depending on where you are, local and international case studies abound of people deploying their networks to bring about a desired action or reaction. Social capital has a new field of play, and the rise and rise of influencers is ignored at the peril of the social media manager or strategist.

In Nigeria, the advent of social media broke and is still breaking many ceilings as far as communication across board is concerned but especially as it affects power. As a people we’re traditionally wired to follow or submit to constituted authority, whether in the home, in our communities, at school, at work or via our various religions; our embracing digital however disrupted all of that. The proliferation of media has provided access to global thinking, cultures, new streams of thought on the one hand, and courage for expression of existing streams of thought on the other. Questions have arisen where people weren’t questioning actions or inactions before, and those already questioning became equipped to be even louder and more visible with these questions. We are tasking government and public officials in a manner that was simply unthinkable before.
Love, relationships, and marriages have also had their share of disruption thanks to an audience constantly in need of a good ‘awww-worthy’ moment. Public displays of affection are no longer public enough if they’re not broadcast to friends, family, enemies, and complete strangers. We’re here for those moments though, egging on lovers to push the boundaries of rationality in expressing just how much they love their partner.
On the flip side, the pressure to claim that significant other and shield them from potential competitors or replacements is real, and there are studies that say social media has bred a new level of paranoia and mistrust in relationships. From sliding into private messages (also known as Direct Messages on Twitter and Instagram), to the curse of the misinterpreted emoji left as a comment, to spats that end in publishing nudes that were exchanged in times of peace, even to pedophiles grooming and then abusing teenagers (and thankfully getting their comeuppance), there’s just as much evil as there’s good online.
A little while ago, poverty porn was an issue, with international organizations attempting to clutch at our hearts (and purse) strings by depicting suffering across Africa. I was always embarrassed to watch those calls for help, especially when there would be three in a row (in whatever order); one to raise money to provide water for an African child, another to adopt a pet tiger, and another to stop cruelty to dogs. I was never comfortable with them, probably will never be.
Say hello however to Poverty Porn 2:0, the new version enabled by social media. We are in the age of philanthropy that must be broadcast to the world. And so without recourse to the dignity of the human beings in question (adults and children alike), people feel it is acceptable to film and broadcast their acts of charity. It is arguable that the publications inspire others to do good but is that really why we do it?

Tyler Perry Is All of Us Right Now: Says He’s ‘Exhausted’ By All the Hate, Division
By Jonathan Landrum Jr. AP Entertainment Writer
Though we are weary, “we must never give up.”
In a heartfelt first-person essay in People magazine, Tyler Perry detailed his thoughts on racial injustice and police brutality against unarmed black people in America.
Perry said he almost passed on publishing his essay in the upcoming issue, which will be released Friday, but the filmmaker felt compelled to follow through because he’s “exhausted” from what he’s recently seen across the country.
“I’m exhausted from all the hate and the division, the vitriol that I see online from one to another,” the actor-writer-director writes. “I’m exhausted from seeing these kinds of senseless murders play out over and over again with nothing changing in our society.”
Perry wrote on various topics including how he felt after watching the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after being restrained in Minnesota by a white officer. He also touched on separate moments of being stopped and frisked in New Orleans and Atlanta.
“The level of racism and brutality that George Floyd faced is something that we as black people know all too well,” he wrote. “When I saw that video, I had so many raw, guttural emotions. I felt for him and his family. I felt for all of us as black people. I felt for my 5-year-old son.”
Perry said he is mulling over how to explain racism to his son. When he does have the conversation, the filmmaker wrote that he wants to instill hope in him and that “progress is made in small steps.
“Looking at his young face, I often ask myself how to broach this conversation: How will I explain that even though Mr. Rogers once said, ‘Look for the helpers,’ sometimes those very helpers will judge his skin before they recognize his humanity,” he wrote.
“I know that as his father, a black man in America, it is my duty to prepare him for the harsh reality that awaits him outside of the watchful eyes of his loving parents. It will be a hard, heartbreaking conversation, but one that I must have and will have soon.

One of Those Moms
I want to share an enlightening conversation I had over the summer while sitting on a bench watching my kids play in the water splash area at my neighborhood park. A woman sighed and turned towards me and said, "Whew aren't you glad the summer is almost over and the kids go back to school?" I replied, "No actually, I'm sad summer is almost over..." More >>

Chris Dawson arrested for the 1982 murder of his wife Lyn Dawson after Teacher’s Pet podcast lead to murder breakthrough on cold case
Chris Dawson has appeared in court after the Teacher’s Pet podcast and media interest helped build evidence against him in connection with Lyn Dawson's murder 36 years ago.
The 70-year-old appeared before magistrates in Queensland, Australia for his extradition hearing, wearing a crumpled T-shirt and shorts.
Dawson — the subject of popular podcast The Teacher’s Pet — has been refused bail and will be extradited to New South Wales where he is expected to be charged with the murder of his wife, Lyn.
According to the Courier Mail, he showed no emotion, had his head in his hands and covered his ears as the magistrate read out police evidence, including allegations of domestic violence against his wife.
New South Wales Police confirmed a 70-year-old man was arrested shortly before 8am this morning in relation to the murder.
The case has grabbed worldwide media attention since the launch of the The Australian’ s investigative podcast series The Teacher’s Pet, for which reporter Hedley Thomas and producer Slade Gibson won the Gold Walkley, Australian journalism’s highest honour.
Detectives hoped Mr Dawson would first appear in Parramatta local court, in Sydney’s west, tomorrow morning but the intense public interest surrounding the case has delayed his extradition.
Dawson will not be extradited until tomorrow after a number of airlines admitted they were reluctant to carry Dawson because to his high profile and the potential of it becoming a security risk.
Police are reportedly looking into chartering their own flight to get Mr Dawson back to New South Wales.
Police Commissioner Mick Fuller told reporters Mr Dawson went “quietly” with police as he was arrested this morning. Detective Superintendent Scott Cook added he was “calm and little bit taken aback”.
Speaking to Ben Fordham on 2GB this afternoon, Mr Fuller said they received “wonderful information” earlier this week from the Director of Public Prosecutions that there was enough evidence to arrest Mr Dawson.
Earlier, police said they had a “voluminous” brief of evidence against Mr Dawson.
“No doubt it will be a voluminous briefs with an enormous amount of evidence and there are a number of witnesses that will be called,” he said.
Mr Fuller said detectives arrested Mr Dawson “to face, finally, to face court over the homicide of Lynette Dawson”.
Mr Dawson’s family released a statement earlier today, insisting the 70-year-old will be found not guilty.
“We are disappointed at the decision of the DPP as there is clear and uncontested evidence that Lyn Dawson was alive long after she left Chris and their daughters,” the statement, from Chris’ twin brother Peter said.
“We have no doubt whatsoever that Chris will be found not guilty as he is innocent.”
Mr Fuller said Lyn’s family was relieved to hear of this morning’s arrest.
“I have said from the start what is important to me was justice for Lynette Dawson and her family,” he said. “Today is an important step forward for that.”
When asked what new evidence had led to the arrest, Mr Fuller said statements from witnesses had “helped pull pieces of the puzzle together”.
These new statements came about as a result of media coverage.
“We have solved homicide before without identifying the body,” he said.
“Ideally in this case we will not give up on trying to identify the whereabouts of Lynette Dawson, but from our perspective, it is not crucial to finalising the matter.
“We haven’t given up hope in terms of finding Lynette Dawson’s body.”
Mr Fuller added that no new evidence arose from the latest dig at the former Dawson family home on Sydney’s northern beaches in September.
Mr Cook told reporters detectives were “confident” about their case against Mr Dawson.
“There are other examples in policing history and history of the courts where people have been convicted of murder without a body,” he said. “That may or may not be accepted in this particular case. It is a matter for the court in due course.”
Lyn’s family reacted with shock and relief.
“I’m shaking,” her nephew David Jenkins wrote on Twitter this morning. “There is a long road in front of us in bringing Lyn home, but this is a big step.”
Lyn’s brother Gregg Simms said he was “quite emotional” when he heard of Mr Dawson’s arrest this morning.
“We’ve had a cry, we’ve cuddled, we’re just completely over the moon that something has finally happened,” he told The Australian.
Speaking to A Current Affair tonight, Mr Simms said he was “stunned” by today’s development but was staying hopeful.
“If you look back over the years, you might say we’ve been kicked in the guts a few times but we were hopeful this time and we’ve got there,” he said. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12212 | {"url":

How Anxiety Disorders Affect Your Life
If you think you are having panic attacks or other symptoms of anxiety disorder, you should consult a healthcare provider for anxiety counseling in Dubai. The healthcare provider will begin by examining you and taking a full medical history. While no test can accurately diagnose an anxiety disorder, he or she may perform tests to rule out other possible physical causes of your symptoms. They may also ask you about how long your symptoms have persisted and how much they interfere with your daily life.
Anxiety is a normal part of life:
We all feel anxious at times, but anxiety is a normal part of life. It helps us prepare for things that can go wrong. It can also motivate us to complete tasks and prepare for tests. While it can be uncomfortable and frustrating, anxiety is a part of our lives. When you learn how to control your anxiety, you can make it a positive resource that fuels your goals.
It can lead to panic attacks:
Panic attacks are a very common symptom of anxiety disorders. They are sudden feelings of extreme fear or terror that may last for several minutes or even a few hours. A person experiencing a panic attack is likely to experience chest pain, heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and nausea. People experiencing panic-related anxiety will often try to avoid situations that might trigger an attack.
It can affect digestion:
Digestion is a crucial component of a healthy life, but the symptoms of anxiety disorders can negatively impact the digestive process. Managing your anxiety can help you control your digestive system and improve your overall health. For instance, if you are worried that you are going to experience a stomach cramp, a panic attack, or a digestive problem, you can try eating foods that are easier to digest.
It can affect self-esteem:
Anxiety disorders can affect self-esteem and other aspects of daily life. People with anxiety often focus on the distressing symptoms of the condition and may feel that intrusive negative thoughts are constantly roiling their minds. This can lead to a general feeling of ill-ease and jitteriness, which can affect sleep. These symptoms often mask a deeper problem with self-esteem.
It can cause serious health problems:
When we are stressed, our brain releases hormones and chemicals that can have negative effects on our health. These include cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones are known to increase heart rate, blood pressure, and the immune system. Long-term exposure can lead to weight gain and cardiovascular problems. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12213 | {"url": "https://fbqcqt.com/general/how-anxiety-disorders-affect-your-life/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "fbqcqt.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:32:32Z", "digest": "sha1:HLWW5RQ2M42RSROFAMZHPL52QQPW4T4I"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2574, 2574.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2574, 3575.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2574, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2574, 52.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2574, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2574, 263.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2574, 0.41443299]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2574, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2574, 0.02480916]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2574, 0.02480916]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2574, 0.02480916]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2574, 0.01431298]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2574, 0.01431298]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2574, 0.01526718]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2574, 0.00206186]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2574, 0.10927835]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2574, 0.48356808]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2574, 4.92018779]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2574, 4.87959499]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2574, 426.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 545, 1.0], [545, 579, 0.0], [579, 944, 1.0], [944, 974, 0.0], [974, 1386, 1.0], [1386, 1411, 0.0], [1411, 1819, 1.0], [1819, 1846, 0.0], [1846, 2228, 1.0], [2228, 2266, 0.0], [2266, 2574, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 545, 0.0], [545, 579, 0.0], [579, 944, 0.0], [944, 974, 0.0], [974, 1386, 0.0], [1386, 1411, 0.0], [1411, 1819, 0.0], [1819, 1846, 0.0], [1846, 2228, 0.0], [2228, 2266, 0.0], [2266, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 39, 6.0], [39, 545, 85.0], [545, 579, 7.0], [579, 944, 69.0], [944, 974, 6.0], [974, 1386, 65.0], [1386, 1411, 4.0], [1411, 1819, 68.0], [1819, 1846, 4.0], [1846, 2228, 59.0], [2228, 2266, 6.0], [2266, 2574, 47.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 545, 0.0], [545, 579, 0.0], [579, 944, 0.0], [944, 974, 0.0], [974, 1386, 0.0], [1386, 1411, 0.0], [1411, 1819, 0.0], [1819, 1846, 0.0], [1846, 2228, 0.0], [2228, 2266, 0.0], [2266, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 545, 0.0], [545, 579, 0.0], [579, 944, 0.0], [944, 974, 0.0], [974, 1386, 0.0], [1386, 1411, 0.0], [1411, 1819, 0.0], [1819, 1846, 0.0], [1846, 2228, 0.0], [2228, 2266, 0.0], [2266, 2574, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.15384615], [39, 545, 0.00988142], [545, 579, 0.02941176], [579, 944, 0.01369863], [944, 974, 0.03333333], [974, 1386, 0.00970874], [1386, 1411, 0.04], [1411, 1819, 0.00735294], [1819, 1846, 0.03703704], [1846, 2228, 0.0104712], [2228, 2266, 0.02631579], [2266, 2574, 0.01298701]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2574, 0.68839419]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2574, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2574, 0.00628573]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2574, -81.48186004]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2574, 4.76174526]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2574, -143.1994869]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2574, 24.0]]} |
Jessica McKay on Insight With Chris Van Vliet: Podcast Recap
Jessica McKay was a recent guest on Chris Van Vliet’s podcast Insight. On the show, they talked about Jessica’s time in WWE, including teaming with Cassie Lee [Peyton Royce] as part of The IIconics. They also discussed her recent solo, including the hilarious headshot resume gimmick and how it came to be. They also discuss how Jessica met her husband and more. The recap can be found below:
On the difference between Jessica McKay and Billie Kay:
“It’s so crazy. So I feel like I had this idea in my head when I was with WWE that Billie Kay had to be a certain image. I couldn’t talk about anything else, I didn’t want to, I was extremely private. I kind of let people know me, but I didn’t really, because it was just what you saw on TV, which was a couple of minutes at best. When I was Jess, my handle changes on social media and it was my name. It was so strange having people call me Jess, letting people in on who I am and what my daily life is like. For some reason I just had that wall up with WWE. I think people think you have to have a certain image to be in that company, like you can’t talk about certain things. That’s not the case, but that’s how I felt. I felt like I had to be this perfect little Superstar, and that’s not the case. But it was nice to have that relief come through.”
On being married and keeping her personal life private:
“It’s so funny. I would have people that I have worked with and saw every week have no idea that I was married. It’s something that my husband and I decided very quickly that we were going to keep private. He has his own career here, and I didn’t want to put him in the public eye. I was very private, I am private about my family too, I don’t post pictures of my family and I very rarely talk about them on social media. I feel like I am so protective of the people that I love. Let’s be honest, social media is a pain in the arse sometimes, I just want to protect them from that and be their shield. We made that decision and it was for the best, not many people knew [I was married] to be honest.”
On how they met:
“We have been together since we were 19 and we are 7 years married. We got married before I moved to America. So we literally got back from our honeymoon and I was like, OK bye, then I moved to America. He couldn’t move because he is on his separate work visa, so separate issues with immigration. We were apart for about 4 months before he came over.”
On expecting a WWE release:
“No. I was so shocked to be honest. There had been rumours. I remember someone saying ‘They are going to do releases after WrestleMania.’ I was like oh ok, I didn’t think that they would, just because the year before they did a ‘cleanout’ if that makes sense, but then I was like well maybe they will. But I never thought that I was in jeopardy so to speak. I was on WrestleMania literally 4 nights before I got released. I had been told of a possible storyline I would be going into, so that’s where the blindside came from.”
A post shared by Jessica McKay (@jessicamckay)
On letting Cassie know:
“The first thing I did was call Cassie [Lee] and she was in a massage. She finally called me back and she told me [that Cassie was released too]. I was shocked for both of us to be honest. I felt like I had so much more to give and Cassie had so much more to give too, they didn’t even scratch the surface with us.”
On the headshot resume gimmick:
“I really enjoyed that, and I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed it until I got released. When the breakup of The IIconics happened, I was so lost. I just felt like a piece of me was missing. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, and I was thinking what this character could be and where she could evolve. So I was really struggling, and TJ [Wilson] was the one who really helped me just embrace who I am, I would vent every week at SmackDown, and he would listen to me and would talk to me about it. When I told him about the idea of the headshot resume and what I wanted to do, he supported it. He was supportive of every idea I had and would make them 10 times better. It was a time for me to grow on my own, so I am glad that I got to do that.”
On how the resume segments started:
“So my first promo after being drafted to SmackDown, it was given to me. They said that I was going to hand a headshot resume to Adam Pearce. When we shot it I felt like there was something there. So I went to the writers and I said ‘I want to keep doing this. Because no one knows who I am on my own. I would love to keep doing this.’ They were like ‘Yeah let’s run with this.’ It took a bit of time to get caught on, but I was emailing a list of the people I could do this with. It was so neutral, it could be with a female, a male, a ring announcer, anyone. I would say ‘If you have 30 seconds to fill on a pre-show, I will be there.’ I can insert myself into any situation, and I think that’s what really helped. I was at every pay per view, I did a couple of pre-shows, then it was the Rumble and everything. It was just a lot of fun.”
On immigration issues:
“Yeah, it’s a long process. I feel like people don’t realize how tough it is for non-citizens to legally work in this country. It just takes a lot of time, especially with COVID and the pandemic. Everything is backed up by 2 years, so everything is still processing and we are still in this waiting game. But we are optimistic, we did everything the right way. Unfortunately there are so many people in our position that have been released and aren’t citizens. They have to figure it out on their own, which is what we had to do. It was very scary and very stressful, we didn’t know what that meant for our immigration, we had to figure it out on our own. But it was something that we got done straight away, and hopefully it’s kind of done soon.”
The meaning behind their new name The IInspiration:
“We were just spit-balling one day, I’m pretty sure Cass came up with it. She was like ‘Look. Here me out…’ and she said it and I love that. When we made that decision, it’s funny because the amount of times we say the word inspire or inspiration to each other, I notice it now and it’s all the time. It’s just crazy that we have never really thought about that.”
On not wanting to face Peyton Royce:
“Personally I didn’t want us to feud. I wanted it to be left open ended. I wanted there to be a reason for the break up, but not one of us blatantly turn on the other. That’s only because we thought that we would get back together in the future. But I also feel like every tag team does that, and I wanted to be different. And what’s different? Breaking up but not hating each other. It’s been done so many times, and we were thinking what hasn’t been done. So when we found out the stipulation was the loser was no longer a tag team I was like that’s perfect. It fits what we were going for, because they could have booked anything. But I always wanted to end it mutually so we could always come back to each other easier.”
On having some input in the split:
“We were spit-balling ideas and stuff, but at the end of the day, you just hope for the best. You could just show up and it be completely different. That was a lot of us talking and just trying to figure out what we would prefer, because we didn’t know when it was happening and there were question marks around it all. When we did find out about it and found out about the stipulation, I was like OK, we can work with this.”
On splitting up The IIconics:
“I feel like, and I’m not sure of the timelines of the stories, but from what I can remember, Vince saw Cass in the ring in a singles match. He thought she is incredible and she’s a star. Well duh! Yeah! I feel like there was a ‘What do we do with The IIconics? Maybe we should just split them up.’ I feel like that kind of sparked the conversation. But again, I wasn’t there. You don’t know what is said behind closed doors, you don’t know what is said in those meetings, so I have no idea what they thought the direction was. But we still had a little time together after she had that singles match so I feel like they were still trying to figure it out. But tag teams, unless you are The bloody New Day, I would have loved to be in a tag team for that long. It’s kind of inevitable that you evolve and go separate ways. I’m glad there was a draft coming up, because I knew they needed to put us on separate brands.”
On life after wrestling:
“I feel like when I got released I really had to look at that. That was the other confronting thing, I was like what do I do? This is insane. When I was released I was 31 and about to turn 32. I was like, hmm, this is life, I was so confused. But I quickly figured that out after the shock and grief went away. I’ve always been into acting, and I feel like all the people that get released say they want to get into acting. We are performers and we are on stage performing. But I’ve always been the biggest movie buff. My favourite memory is my brother and I growing up, obviously watching wrestling, but then him showing me movies. I would sneak into his room after school every day and watch Bring It On like 10 times. He showed me TV and films and I just fell in love with that. I’ve been doing acting classes for about a year now and I just fell in love with it. A lot of people say they would like to be an actor, as I did, but I didn’t know if I would love the process of that. Much like wrestling, you have to jump in and make it your whole life. When I started the lessons, I fell in love with it.”
On the WWE release:
“Yeah it was such a shock, and there are still good days and bad days. I just felt like I didn’t know who I was at all. My whole life I had been trying to get to WWE, and to have that ripped away from you, it was f*cking hard. People don’t realize that was my whole life. Everything I did was to be a WWE Superstar. You are in this bubble travelling, training and being on shows, and it’s amazing. But when you are out of that bubble, it’s like real life floods in. But it was tough, I didn’t leave my house for 3 weeks. I couldn’t talk to my family, I was so embarrassed and ashamed. And I had to really figure out who I was without Billie Kay. That sounds so silly but you really have to leave her. I had to say goodbye to her, she will always be a part of me but I had to let her go. I didn’t want to be defined by Billie Kay, that’s a part of me but that’s not who I am. It was so hard bringing out Jessica again, because I had been Billie for so long. I loved Billie so much, that’s why it hurt so much. The world won’t see her again, and she was f*cking cool, she was amazing. So it took a long time to get Jessica out again, and my family really helped with that.”
On advice given by Dwayne Johnson:
“Well when you look at his career you think wow! He just hustles, and I really respect that about him. When we met, he just said to me “Keep going.” I’ve never forgotten that. Amongst all the sh*t, negativity and drama, you just have to keep going. I have goals that I am going to reach, so I always have that advice in the back of my head.”
On what she is grateful for:
“My husband and family, Cassie, my life and my health.”

Join the Feminist Majority Foundation in an Emergency Action for Women’s Lives
On April 22, join the Feminist Majority Foundation and other women’s rights and abortion rights groups in Washington, D.C. for an emergency rally and action to save reproductive freedom and protect women’s access to birth control, abortion, and other reproductive health services. This summer, President Bush may have the opportunity to appoint as many as two anti-abortion Justices to the U.S. Supreme CourtÑa move that could overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion. “We will not go back to days of back-alley abortions where women will die,” said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation. “We’ve fought too long and hard for safe, legal and accessible abortion. The women’s community is not going to sit quietly and watch President Bush chisel away at our fundamental reproductive rights,” continued Smeal. “This emergency action is just the beginning. We are here for the long haul and we intend to win. We will not be the generation who both won and lost Roe v. Wade.”

Authored by: Sonya Kimble-Ellis
From the Series: Black Americans of Achievement: Legacy Edition
Bill Cosby began his career as a comedian while he was still a college student. A talented athlete who could have become a track star, Cosby believed that his knack for telling jokes could earn him a living. After dropping out of school, he began appearing in clubs in New York and Las Vegas, where his comedic talents quickly became apparent. His stand-up routines, films, books, and creation of and work on the TV cartoon Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids and the wildly popular sitcom The Cosby Show have secured his place as one of the greatest comedians in entertainment history. In addition to entertaining audiences, Cosby is also highly regarded as a philanthropist and community activist. Read about the one-and-only Bill Cosby in this all-new biography that highlights his contributions to American society and his influence on generations of black Americans.

Impact of the FORWARD Puerto Rico FUND
Sembrando Sentido
Sembrando Sentido is a nonprofit organization that works for a more transparent, responsible, inclusive and efficient central government that works for all Puerto Ricans.
The FORWARD Fund was able to kickstart Sembrando Sentido’s mission and all of its very ambitious goals. With the fund, they developed two projects under the umbrella of the Contracts in Law program, one for more transparency in public contracting and another for analyzing public policy around government contracts. Both projects enabled them to activate, through observation, awareness-raising and mobilization, civil society to lead the creation of a robust, open, comprehensive and efficient public procurement system. Aside from the Contracts in Law initiative, thanks to their constant advocacy on the issue, the Department of Justice developed a registry of convicted corruption offenders in Puerto Rico, something that by law should have already existed, but was not enforced until now. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12217 | {"url": "https://filantropiapr.org/sembrando-sentido/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "filantropiapr.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:01:56Z", "digest": "sha1:FHNYBGN733EGK24Q24HEHWO4AEEUJMQO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1021, 1021.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1021, 3242.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1021, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1021, 134.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1021, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1021, 339.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1021, 0.40229885]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1021, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1021, 0.01175088]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1021, 0.02820212]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1021, 0.039953]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1021, 0.01724138]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1021, 0.11494253]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1021, 0.64473684]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1021, 5.59868421]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1021, 4.3720807]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1021, 152.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 57, 0.0], [57, 228, 1.0], [228, 1021, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 57, 0.0], [57, 228, 0.0], [228, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 39, 7.0], [39, 57, 2.0], [57, 228, 24.0], [228, 1021, 119.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 57, 0.0], [57, 228, 0.0], [228, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 57, 0.0], [57, 228, 0.0], [228, 1021, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.35897436], [39, 57, 0.11111111], [57, 228, 0.02339181], [228, 1021, 0.02774275]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1021, 0.37270743]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1021, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1021, 0.08020848]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1021, -15.7508824]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1021, 19.27876084]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1021, 9.09296552]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1021, 5.0]]} |

Natural magnetic black sands are known from several sites often located in areas of volcanic origin. Their elemental and mineral composition provides information on the geology of their territory and depends on several factors occurred during their formation. A sample of black sand was collected on the seashore of the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean and its magnetic part was investigated by means of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Mössbauer spectroscopy at room temperature. The mineral composition is dominantly magnetite, in good agreement with samples collected in other sites of volcanic origin. Contrary to pure magnetite, a relevant fraction of Ti was detected by EDS. The 16% Ti and 1% Mn content increase the magnetite lattice parameter to 8.4312 (25) Å. The broadening of XRD lines pointed towards a significant degree of disorder. This was confirmed by Mössbauer spectroscopy and is attributed to the presence of Ti replacing Fe in the magnetite lattice. The presence of Ti modifies the local magnetic field on the Fe sites, leading to a broader and more complex Mössbauer transmission spectrum with respect to the one of pure magnetite. To study the effect of temperature, samples were heated for 12 hours to 600˚C and 800˚C in argon and to 1000˚C in air. Annealing in argon did not improve the crystallinity while annealing in air caused a complete decomposition of magnetite into hematite and pseudobrookite.
Magnetic Black Sand, Iron Minerals, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, Mössbauer Spectroscopy
The natural occurrence of strongly magnetic black sands is known from several sites, e.g. in Italy [1] , the Black Sea [2] , or Costa Rica [3] . Often these sands are of volcanic origin. After erosion of the primary rock, the heavy sands accumulate in alluvial deposits. Due to their high iron oxide content, some deposits attracted interest for mining as iron ore.
The chemical structure of natural samples depends on several factors and conditions occurred during their formation. In particular, the presence of elements different from iron, pressure and time of solidification determine changes in the structure that can be put in evidence and quantitatively studied by means of the experimental methods used in this work.
Due to their high iron content, magnetic black sands are radiopaque and, if present in sufficient quantity, can be detected within biological tissues using radiology based imaging techniques. If ingested or inhaled, magnetic black sands may lead to artifacts in medical imaging techniques (radiography, computed tomography (CT)).
This work originated from a case in forensic medicine. CT imaging revealed the presence of a highly radiopaque object in the trachea of a newborn corpse found on a beach of the isle of Mayotte [4] . The autopsy was performed some days later and showed only the presence of compact black sand in the esophagus and in the trachea. A characterization of this natural material was then performed and allowed demonstrating that compact radiopaque magnetite black sand faked the shape of a metallic weapon. The results of this characterization were found to be interesting beyond this study since the composition of magnetic black sand from Mayotte differs from the one of already published natural samples.
Along the lines of this case in forensic medicine, a sample of magnetic black sand from Mayotte Island was analyzed with the same methodology used in a previous study of black sand from the Mediterranean Sea near Rome [1] . In particular, the mineral and chemical composition were analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) [5] , powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) [5] , and Mössbauer spectroscopy [6] . Radioactivity was assessed via hyper-pure germanium (HPGe) gamma spectroscopy [7] .
A sample of natural black sand was collected from a beach situated on the north coast of Mayotte, a French over-sea department situated in the northern Mozambique Channel off the coast of southeast Africa. The sample was separated into a magnetic and a non-magnetic component by means of a strong permanent magnet. The magnetic fraction accounts for about 95% of the total mass, as reported in Table 1. Only the magnetic fraction was further characterized.
From the separated magnetic component three further samples were prepared. They were heated in a porcelain crucible inside a tubular furnace for 12 hours to 600˚C and 800˚C under argon and to 1000˚C in air.
The elemental composition of the magnetic fraction was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy using a Noran SIX NSS200 (Thermo Electron Corporation, Madison, WI, USA) detector attached to a Hitachi scanning electron microscope S-3000 N (Hitachi High-Technologies Europe GmbH, Krefeld, Germany).
Powder X-ray diffraction patterns were measured on a Stoe StadiP powder diffractometer (STOE & Cie. GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) in reflection geometry (Bragg- Brentano) at room temperature. Cu Kα1 radiation (λ = 1.540598 Å) was used from a focusing α-quartz (101) monochromator. Diffraction patterns were measured from 15˚ to 100˚ 2-Theta with a resolution of 0.01˚ using a position sensitive detector. Due to the vast iron content, the samples show a strong absorption of Cu Kα radiation and concomitant an intense X-ray fluorescence from Fe. The high background due to the X-ray fluorescence was subtracted from the data.
A Mössbauer spectrometer (Fast Com Tec MA-250) equipped with a 5 mCi 57Co source in a Rh matrix was employed. A proportional tube filled with 97% Kr and 3% CO2 at 1 atm pressure with a thin Be side window (LND 45431) was used to detect the 14.4 keV characteristic Mössbauer line.
3. Experimental Results
Three mm-sized black shiny grains belonging to the magnetic component were selected and analyzed by EDS. They turned out to be exactly identical in their composition and are therefore taken as representative for the sample. The elemental composition in atom% with respect to the metal atoms is reported in Table 2. The oxygen content is not quantitatively accessible by this method. The sample contains mainly iron with a significant amount of titanium and a small amount of manganese, all in the form of oxide compounds.
Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the magnetic component and of samples heated under argon to 600˚C and 800˚C are shown in Figure 1. The diffraction pattern of the magnetic fraction, the black trace in Figure 1, corresponds to a cubic magnetite phase

with space group Fd-3m. A calculated pattern is shown as red ticks below the black trace. The positions and the intensities of the Bragg peaks agree very well between measured and calculated patterns. Only a minor peak around 33˚ 2-Theta does not belong to the magnetite phase.
The cubic lattice parameter was refined with the STOE WinXPow diffractometer software as a = 8.4312 (25) Å. It is slightly bigger than for pure magnetite Fe3O4 for which a typical parameter value of a = 8.3930 (6) Å was found in literature [8] .
The increase of the lattice parameter is due to the significant Ti content of the sample. Ti4+ replaces Fe3+ on the tetrahedral site of the spinel lattice. The ionic radii are 0.42 Å for Ti4+ and 0.49 Å for Fe3+ for four-fold coordination (CN = 4) [9] . Due to the different valence of Ti4+ vs. Fe3+ charge compensation is required. It can be achieved in various ways, e.g., by replacing an octahedral Fe3+ by Fe2+. The respective ionic radii for CN = 6 are 0.645 Å for high spin (HS) Fe3+ and 0.78 Å for HS Fe2+. Accordingly, the replacement of Fe3+ (CN = 4) and Fe3+ (HS, CN = 6) by Ti4+ and Fe2+ (HS, CN = 6) results in a lattice expansion. Another realistic mechanism for the charge compensation of the Ti4+/Fe3+ substitution is the creation of cation defects.
The diffraction pattern shows rather broad peaks, which indicate a significant degree of disorder in the magnetite phase. Above about 50˚ 2-Theta, the peaks show indications for splitting which may be due to lattice distortions towards lower symmetry.
It was attempted to improve the crystallinity of the material by heating the sample in argon to 600˚C and 800˚C. The corresponding diffraction patterns are shown in Figure 1 as blue and red traces, respectively. The crystallinity was not improved by heating. Rather in contrast, a partial decomposition is observed. Additional weak Bragg peaks occur, especially for the sample heated to 800˚C. They are due to the formation of hematite Fe2O3 (space group R-3c) [9] and pseudobrookite Fe2TiO5 (space group Ccmm) [10] [11] . The pattern of the sample heated to 1000˚C in air is reported in Figure 2. It shows a complete decomposition of the magnetite phase into hematite and pseudobrookite. The decomposition is driven by the oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III) in air and the separation of Ti from the magnetite into the Fe2TiO5 phase.
Mössbauer spectroscopy was performed at room temperature on the natural sample as well as on the samples obtained after annealing at 600˚C and 800˚C in Ar, and at 1000˚C in air. More than 106 events per channel were collected for all spectra in order to reduce the statistical uncertainty at a level of less then 10−3 on each channel. The spectra were compared to the one obtained by analyzing the magnetic part of a black sand sample collected from the seashore of Ladispoli in Italy [1] , see Figure 3.
The spectrum in Figure 3 can be interpreted as almost pure magnetite with iron in both tetrahedral and octahedral sites and can be fitted by two sextets, as reported in
Figure 2. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern of a sample heated in air to 1000˚C. The pattern changed completely from magnetite to hematite and pseudobrookite. The pattern was measured with Cu Kα1 radiation (λ = 1.540598 Å) at room temperature.

Table 3. For the isomeric shift (IS) the data are referred to α-Fe taken as zero. These results are in agreement with literature [1] , where only a non-magnetically separated sample was analyzed by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The transmission spectra obtained with the sample from Mayotte island are reported in Figure 4.
The natural sample presents a complex spectrum with enhancements that correspond to the characteristic peaks of magnetite with iron in both tetrahedral and octahedral sites, as reported in literature [1] and in agreement with Figure 3 and Table 3. Contrary to the black sand from Ladispoli, the sample from Mayotte indicates a significant disorder in the magnetite phase in agreement with powder X-ray diffraction

results. This disorder affects the magnetic field on the iron sites, determining strong broadening effects in the spectrum. Annealing at 600˚C and 800˚C in Ar slightly improve the sharpness of the enhancements. Although the position of the enhancements correspond to magnetite, a fit of the transmission spectrum is not feasible.
As observed with powder X-ray diffraction, the sample heated to 1000˚C in air is completely transformed into hematite and pseudobrookite without any magnetite left over. The corresponding Mössbauer transmission spectrum (Figure 4(d)) also changes completely and can be fitted with one sextet and one doublet, compatible with hematite and pseudobrookite values reported in literature [12] . The results of the fit are reported in Table 4.
Traces of radioactive elements were searched for on a sample of non-magnetically separated sand by HPGe gamma spectroscopy. Naturally occurring radionuclides of terrestrial origin coming from the 226Ra (115 ± 13 Bq/kg) and 232Th (7 ± 5 Bq/kg) decay chains were found to be compatible with average natural radioactivity reported in literature [13] .
A sample of magnetic black sand from the island of Mayotte was studied by means of EDS, XRD, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Magnetite was found as main component, in good agreement with similar samples collected in other sites of volcanic origin. Contrary to pure magnetite, a relevant fraction of Ti was measured by EDS. Ti increases the lattice parameter of the magnetite phase. Furthermore, a significant degree of disorder in the magnetite phase was found by XRD. This was confirmed by Mössbauer spectroscopy, which showed a much broader transmission spectrum with respect to the typical magnetite pattern composed by two sextets. These effects are mostly due to Ti replacing Fe in the crystal lattice. In particular, the presence of Ti modifies the local magnetic field on the Fe sites, leading to the broader Mössbauer transmission spectrum. Samples were annealed in argon and air to study the effect of temperature on the structure. Annealing in argon did not improve the crystallinity while annealing in air caused a complete decomposition of the magnetite phase into hematite and pseudobrookite. Traces of radioactive elements were also researched and quantities compatible with naturally occurring radionuclides of terrestrial origin (Ra and Th) were found.

Governance, operational resilience, and business models remain crucial for banks in an environment of rising rates and digital banking
In an interview, Korbinian Ibel, Director General at the European Central Bank (ECB), shares insight on how bank-specific direct supervision works, what the current risks and challenges are, and priorities to look out for in the coming years.
What does the Banking Supervision arm of the European Central Bank do? Find out about its policies, methodologies, practices, and activities on its website. To learn more about how Banking Supervision is organised, see details here.
The ECB has organised bank-specific direct supervision in three directorates, based on the business model of the supervised banks:
Directorate General Universal & Diversified Institutions (DG/UDI) includes all the universal banks and all the diversified lenders (around 40 banks);
Directorate General Systemic & International Banks (DG/SIB) includes the largest and systemic banks;
Directorate General Specialised Institutions and LessSignificantInstitutions (DG/SPL) includes specialised lenders, and the institutional and sectoral oversight.
When looking at the three areas involved in bank-specific direct supervision, are there differences in terms of risk mapping or in the way banks are supervised?
There is no difference in terms of risk mapping, but there is a difference in the approaches we take when we address the risk. A joint supervisory team (JST) is composed of ca. 1/3 ECB and 2/3 NCA/NCB staff. The JSTs for each global systemic and international bank (GSIB) is larger than the JST for the universal and diversified institutions (UDI). Also, in DG/UDI we supervise business models which are not as complex as those of the globally systemic banks.
Still, the risk types we address are the same, and the largest bank in DG/UDI has nearly 1 trillion-euro assets. Within DG/UDI we have a wide geographical spread of banks – 14 European countries – from Finland to Cyprus. There are great differences among these institutions, and we use a proportionate approach in our supervision. We engage a lot of the specialists from the Directorate General Horizontal Line Supervision (DG/HOL) when our JSTs need additional specialised skills.
The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) recently published its supervisory priorities for 2023-2025. The focus on strengthening banks’ resilience remains and the EU institutions should address deficiencies in their credit risk management frameworks to boost their resilience to potential asset quality deterioration and to swiftly identify and mitigate any build-up of risks. The SSM is now also highlighting the funding risks, as sound planning and diversified funding sources can help banks maintain reliable access to funding, also if funding conditions should become less favourable in the future. In addition, the SSM will continue ensuring that banks address deficiencies in digitalisation strategies effectively and strengthen their management bodies’ steering capabilities. Banks’ governance will always be a priority in banking supervision. Digitalisation is extremely important for the SSM: as supervisors, we will focus on ensuring that banks have sound strategies and adequate arrangements in place to address the challenge. Deficiencies in operational resilience frameworks, including IT and cyber security, and in risk data aggregation and reporting are also in the SSM focus. Finally, stepping up the efforts to address climate change is a clear priority for the SSM and last year we had both a stress test and a thematic review in this area. EU banks have made great efforts and much progress in this area when compared to a few years ago.
How will the SSM approach its direct supervisory practices in the environment of growing interest rate risk banks have? How will the SSM monitor these risks in the coming months and years? In terms of leverage, operational resilience, and cost effectiveness, what are your expectations towards banks’ management? Do you see this context preventing banks in the euro area from consolidation?
When inflation and interest rates started to increase last year, the SSM performed a review on a wide sample of banks, focussing on rising interest rates’ risks. In the short term, higher rates will increase the net interest income (NII) for most banks. At the same time, this can negatively affect the banks’ economic value of equity, especially if banks have locked-in fixed interest rates for long term assets (e.g., the mortgage book), while the short-term funding reprices faster. In the medium term, such an “asset sensitive” exposure, produced by the sensitivity of the banks’ assets to interest rates being higher than the liabilities’ one, might worsen long-term earnings and capital adequacy prospects, which in turn undermines the sector’s ability to attract investments.
Banks make use of internal models when assessing their exposure to interest rate risk, in particular to account for changes in customer preferences and behaviours on some particular balance sheet components (e.g., non-maturing deposits, loan prepayment, etc.). Banks, in this respect, are expected to carefully calibrate the time window over which the estimation of their model is performed to account for periods of both high and low interest rates as consumer preferences may change when the macro-economic conditions shift away from the “low for long” rate environment and extraordinary monetary policy support is withdrawn. Now, as rates are rising fast, deposits rates start rising too, and institutions may start competing for deposits more aggressively. The higher the rates, the more attractive the deposits’ rate, the greater the competition to attract new depositors. There is no clear trend we can detect now although we cannot disregard the risk that there might be new players entering the financial industry and try to aggressively attract deposits from established banks. For instance, if a big tech with a well-established platform enters this market, it will have already a large customer base, which constitute a competitive advantage, without being burdened by legacy assets locked in with lower rates, which sets the ground for the possibility to offer higher returns to the customers. If this happens, banks will realise that their deposit models might have been too optimistic and will have to reprice their deposits much more than anticipated in the models while the asset side will be locked in with lower rates products.
The deposit modelling is a very specific topic which deserves full Management Body’s attention. They might benefit from making themselves better aware of the content of their behavioural deposit models. That is why we raised this point in our recent deep dives. We have identified outlier banks and the banks with the most aggressive modelling had a discussion with us in order to raise their awareness.
Operational resilience is a very big topic for us as well. If one looks at the media reports, most big issues do not happen because of a cyber-attack, but because of a new software release or an internal update gone wrong. Operational resilience must cover these internal issues as well as externally driven events and we as supervisors put a lot of efforts there. For example, the backup data centre and the primary data centre should not be geographically too close. Too close in this sense refers to being at risk to be affected by one single event. And this is not only subject to physical distance, but also to the conditions of the environment. In effect, banks should be able to continue to provide their services even in adverse situations: for example, in unexpected weather conditions or floods, in case of internal mistakes, but also if cyber-attacks happen. In our supervision we apply regulation from the European Banking Authority (EBA), for example on ICT and Security Risk Management, but also the Principles of Operational Resilience from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. And we expect that banks apply these regulations. We perform intrusive on-site inspections covering this risk area, and the JSTs, in their daily discussions with the banks, also assess whether banks apply the regulations. We also have a cyber-incident reporting process where banks must report significant cyber incidents to the ECB. All of this is normal supervisory day-to-day business.
We see that the degree of outsourcing and the use of cloud services is heavily increasing, IT outsourcing grew by 14% and cloud expenses grew by 45% last year alone. Outsourcing is a crucial element for banks. If a cloud service would stop working, whatever the reason, many banks might find themselves in a very unpleasant situation. And since there are not many cloud providers, the potential concentration risk should be carefully considered.
During the years of ongoing onsite inspections, has the ECB noted improvements in the quality of data provided by the significant European banks? Is there a particular area there where deficiencies still exist and how can banks approach these more constructively?
While we can observe some improvements in the area of risk data management, overall there is less progress than expected. Gaps vis-à-vis to supervisory expectations still exist and the push towards further advancement needs to continue. Accurate risk data availability is critical for the bank management, as much as it is for supervisors. The nature of new risks is usually that they are not known a priori, so one doesn’t know which data are needed. Therefore, banks need to have their data ready in a way to slice and dice flexibly. The capability of constructing and deconstructing bank’s risk exposures in the IT systems is essential.
Limitations in the IT systems and in human interfaces exist. Asking front office workers to add data they do not see any use for, usually doesn’t lead to perfect data quality. Therefore, the more banks use correctly designed and tested automation in this area, expand their access to information from several sources, assign clear responsibilities and promote a data culture, the better the quality of information likely becomes. In this sense, the real solution lies in an advanced fit-for-purpose IT architecture that does not rely on a lot of manual intervention and effective governance arrangements.
We fully appreciate that changing and modernizing an IT architecture takes much time, money, and effort. Therefore, this will remain as one of our clear supervisory priorities also in the future. While we are aware of all the difficulties, we still expect banks to do more.
We observe increased ability of banks to deliver quick and solid risk data today, which is the result of the right decisions of the banks management in the last decade. Financial entities which focused on modular IT strategies and had enough resources to implement them, are in a better position today.
The ECB has been focusing on sustainability, digitalization, and governance for some time now. Do you see these areas keeping their prevalence in the supervisory approach of SSM? What developments (if any) do you expect in the OSI’s and IMI’s methodology in relation to these three points? What changes should banks anticipate regarding SSM’s supervisory priorities in 2023? Finally, will the ECB issue new guidance?
The ECB will always develop further in the areas of sustainability, digitalisation, and governance, as they are “evergreens” in supervision. Every day there are new changes in the environment, and a good governance develops and adapts accordingly. We also constantly need to adapt our supervisory methodologies. If we look at digitalisation, this is a very broad and heterogenous topic. We don’t only care about the front end in our work on digitalisation. We are looking at the degree of digitalisation of the entire bank, including the straight-through process capabilities. Banks need to continue their digital transformation, while adequately identifying and mitigating risks, including by keeping their systems safe, resilient, and sound.
Presently, we have coordinated on-site inspections on cyber security, and in 2022 we also started with coordinated on-site inspections focused on digital transformation. With this coordinated approach, we have clusters of onsite inspections with aligned scopes and conducted using the same methodology within a certain time window. Afterwards, we consolidate the results to take a horizontal view on the outcomes of the inspections.
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) is putting together a new “Strong and Simple” regulatory regime in the UK and has also consulted on its own cut of Basel 3.1. These developments indicate that there could be a lot more regulatory divergence between the UK and EU than before. How would this divergence impact the supervision of branches or subsidiaries of UK banks operating in the EU, and vice versa?
We understand that this special regime would apply to small domestic banks and it’s for the UK only. There is no expected influence on the EU banks. We expect the UK to largely follow the globally agreed Basel rules for their internationally active banks. But the jury is still out: in both the UK and the EU the legislative process is still ongoing, and we need to wait and see the final outcomes on both sides of the Channel, before we will get a better view on the regulatory divergences. That said, we will ensure that any activities of UK-based entities in the EU – be it through subsidiaries or branches – is properly supervised,
We expect from their entities, which operate in the EU and have risk here, to maintain their risk management here as well.
The ECB, together with the EBA, has recently voiced that those deviations from Basel standards decided at the EU level could harm banks reputation and competitiveness. If those deviations were to be maintained in the final legislative text, especially on credit risk, should we expect the ECB to correct this bias via pillar 2 capital requirements?
We should faithfully implement Basel III. When implementation is not done properly, we cannot rule out the Basel Committee labelling the EU to “non-compliant” (the lowest possible rate) with the Basel rules. We should deliver an implementation of the Basel rules as close as possible to the internationally agreed standards in order to be seen by our international peers as a trusted partner. If not, in the end the European banks will be paying the price, as international investors will put a discount on the numbers of European banks.
Positive behavioural and cultural change: the implementation of an accountability framework
As regulated entities execute their post-Brexit strategies and relocate their European Union (EU) operations from the UK to other EU states, a key issue to be addressed for those relocating to Ireland remain to be the impending legislative changes surrounding increased accountability standards for executives and non-executives. Not least, the breaking of the participation link, […]
Implementation of post-crisis reforms and remaining challenges in 2019
At the last G20 summit in Buenos Aires, leaders called for the full implementation of all major international financial reforms intended to improve the financial system, in particular, those drawn up by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), the last being the review of market risk framework published […]
The Six Key Themes of Internal Governance Harmonisation
As recent as 26 September 2017, the European Banking Authority (EBA) under the Directive 2013/36/EU published its revised guidelines on harmonising the internal governance arrangements of banks across the European Union. The EBA Guidelines will apply as of 30 June 2018 to competent authorities across the EU, as well as to institutions on an individual […]
Are more stringent gender diversity measures required?
Gender equality, while not systematically embedded in national laws, is clearly set in European law. The Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) requires financial institutions to adopt a policy promoting diversity within their management bodies and, for the most significant ones, to set targets to reach gender-balanced boards. Despite these regulatory requirements, the conclusions of the European […]
Brexit, Volcker 2.0 and the Bipartisan Banking Bill lead topics of 2019 Institute of International Bankers conference

Agencies and regulators serving as speakers and panelists this year, included: •The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) •The Department of the Treasury •The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) •The Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) •The Office […]
Brexit Watch #6: Seeing past the fog of uncertainty – How are the regulators responding?
The British political landscape has been unsettled and uncertain. Boris Johnson defeated Theresa May in July 2019 to become Prime Minister with his “do or die” conviction for the UK’s exit from the EU, with or without a deal. While the Government has been successful in achieving Parliament’s support for a renegotiated withdrawal deal, MPs […]
European CIB firms penalised by their regulatory environment
September 2018 saw the tenth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the US corporate and investment bank that was symbolic of Wall Street. Its failure is still fresh in the mind, and marked a turning point for banking and financial regulation. The disappearance of Lehman launched a cycle of “re-regulation” intended to increase the […]
IBOR reform moves forward, but challenges remain
A raft of recent consultations on Ibor reform indicates that we may finally be making some progress. We have seen the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) issue another round of consultations for Inter-Bank Offered Rates (IBORs) trying to solve the issue of the spread and term adjustments in fall-back for derivatives referencing IBORs and […]
Brexit Watch #5: Brexit Extension – How are the Regulators Reacting?
During a meeting of the Special European Council on the 10 April 2019, EU leaders agreed to a flexible Brexit extension until 31 October 2019, to allow for the ratification of a withdrawal agreement. Despite this extension, there is still great pressure on Theresa May to secure a deal before the EU Parliament elections are […]
The digital euro as we know it today
“I see digital as the future of finance”. These are the words of the Executive Vice President of the European Commission (EC), Valdis Dombrovskis, voiced in the summer of 2020. He has undoubtedly been proven right as governments and central banks around the world have heightened their efforts to keep oversight of the digital transition […]
Sustainable finance series: Driving credible ESG actions
Implementing credible environmental, social and governance (ESG) actions requires successful enablers. So how can firms identify these enablers and, crucially, remove barriers to implementation? If we take our latest C-Suite Sustainability Barometer, we can see that out of the over 1,100 businesses accounted for in the survey, 75% are planning to increase their investment in […]
The Supervisory Answer to Hong Kong’s Worsening Economic Performance
Pierre Latrobe at Mazars discusses the measures the HKMA has taken so far to strengthen its macroprudential supervisory toolkit and address potential risks to the wider financial system. The Hong Kong economy is suffering from several lingering negative factors, the US-China trade war, the global economic slowdown and the ongoing protests, to name but a […]
LIBOR reform: Setting the cat among the pigeons
Could the transition period towards the new alternative Risk-Free Rates (RFRs) be more complex than initially envisaged? The speech given by Edwin Schooling Latter, Director of Markets and Wholesale Policy at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), on the 28 January 2019, suggests this might be the case. While Mr Latter re-affirmed that the key focus […]
A decade on from Lehman Brothers
Which is the more significant – the tenth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, or the tenth anniversary of the opening of the App Store? For the global financial community world, 15 September 2008 is a key date, weighted with as much symbolism as the great stock market crash of 24 October 1929 had […]
European banks are better armed against macro-economic shocks
On Friday 2 November, as expected, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published the results of the 2018 EU wide stress tests on European banks’ solvency in the event of macro-economic shocks. This was the fourth exercise of the now-biannual testing which has been carried out on European Union banks. Despite more severe tests than in […]
An IBOR revolution is on its way
The whole financial system relies on reference interest rates, more precisely on InterBank Offered Rates (IBORs) whose integrity and reliability have raised some concerns since the 2008 financial crisis and the LIBOR manipulation scandal. These IBORs are used to determine the unsecured short-term funding cost in the interbank market for a combination of currencies, tenors […]
IBOR Reform – key takeaways
With significant IBOR reform on the horizon, Mazars brought together industry experts, practitioners and regulators to discuss the challenges and opportunities they face. Speakers included the Bank of England Market Division’s Alastair Hughes, EFRAG’s Didier Andries and Mazars’ IBOR lead, Pauline Pelissier. From a comprehensive and illuminating session, Pauline sums up the key takeaways: “What […]
Is SOFR the ultimate replacement for USD LIBOR?
Financial market participants – at least the largest ones – are actively preparing for the expected discontinuation of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) after 2021.

Is SOFR a strong enough USD LIBOR alternative?
With COVID-19, being declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, financial institutions have had to shift most of their resources to mitigate the risks that have arisen.

Do Asian market Libor preparations pose systemic risk to world markets?
Since Libor was first used in financial markets in 1986, it has become the foundation of the global interbank funding market. However, regulators ruled that Libor’s volatility during the last global financial crisis (GFC) and a rate-rigging crisis in 20121 involving the world’s largest banks exposed a fundamental weakness with the rate’s publication methodology. Yet, […]

FRTB: has the journey finally begun or has it just ended?
It is truly amazing the turmoil 88 pages can produce. Yet while the whole Banking Industry is strongly opposed to some of the new Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) requirements, such as the Profit & Loss Attribution (PLA) test, could the EU Council now be considering to only include reporting requirements in CRR2?

New constraints threaten the future of internal model approaches
At the same time as regulators as a whole express their support for the harmonisation, transparency and comparability of banking models at the European level, a new consultative document published by the Basel Committee on 24 March 2016 partly calls into question the use of internal model approaches when evaluating credit risk. The release of […]

Ifs and Buts
The Brexit debate last week was overshadowed by Theresa May becoming the UK’s new Prime Minister and some of her more radical appointments to her Cabinet.

The banks’ business model – between function and transformation

Could regulation play a role in transforming the FinTech business model?
One of the main differentiators FinTechs have is their current positioning within the financial services value chain ecosystem: they focus on customer experience while their operations execution and control activities are often outsourced to banking institutions.

Unilateral deregulation by the USA would lead banks to seek new trade-offs
Solvency, liquidity, transparency and oversight requirements: as the Basel Committee meeting in Santiago, Chile in November 2016 demonstrated, there is still much to be discussed on the finalisation of the Basel III agreements. However, the inauguration of the new President of the USA could change the condition of the international dialog. Some might decide to […]

Creating a compliance pathway for dealing with NPLs
Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) are a key issue and will continue to be on the European agenda as a top priority for a long time.

What’s at stake with the ECB draft guidance to banks on non-performing loans?
The European Central Bank (“ECB”) recently launched public consultation on guidance to banks on non-performing loans (“NPL”). Consultation periods runs until 15 of November 2016.

IBOR Transition: modelling of SOFR risk factors
One of the major challenges of IBOR transition is the availability of historical data on alternative risk-free rates (RFRs) required to implement interest rate model changes or re-calibration. With the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) only published since April 2018, the available time series do not provide enough observations for risk modelling. Adding to that, […]

Climate change is now firmly in the focus of prudential regulators and supervisors across the globe.

2021: The year of Brexit for banks
Brexit, or the UK’s departure from the European Union, became a reality on 1 January 2021.

Climate change introduces considerable economic challenges.

Regulated firms: A matter of life and death
As the PRA transitions from a “rule-taker” to a “rule-maker”, small and medium-sized banks operating in the UK can expect to benefit from a more “streamlined” regulatory regime that could be easier to interpret, implement and maintain; but at the same time, they can also expect the PRA to be progressively more involved in scrutinising […]
NPL secondary market may solve the increase in credit risk
The identification and management of non-performing loans or NPLs as early as possible by banks are among supervisors’ current high-level priorities. Indeed, when prudential, monetary, and fiscal crisis mitigation mechanisms are tapered, the weakening of borrowers’ creditworthiness could materialise, along with increasing credit risks and therefore NPLs. This expected rise of new NPLs in European […]

Managing an increase in bank credit risk
While 2020 went relatively smoothly for the banking sector, uncertainties remain on the potential effects of Covid-19 on the real economy.

IBOR Transition: Modelling RFR term rates to price IR derivatives
One of the anticipated challenges in the transition from IBOR rates to risk-free rates (RFRs) is the management of its impact on quantitative models. The ones currently used for pricing IBOR-linked financial instruments account for term rates which are “forward-looking”. The RFRs replacing the IBORs are all overnight rates. This means that a term rate […]

Microsoft Launches Pilot Program to Recruit Autistic Employees
Microsoft announced earlier this month that it will be instituting a pilot program to recruit people with autism spectrum disorders for full time-positions on its Redmond campus in Washington state.
“People with autism bring strengths that we need at Microsoft,” Mary Ellen Smith, corporate vice president of worldwide operations, wrote in a blog post. “Each individual is different, some have amazing ability to retain information, think at a level of detail and depth or excel in math or code. It’s a talent pool that we want to continue to bring to Microsoft!”
Smith is also the mother of an autistic teen son, Shawn. The timing of the announcement was apt, as April is National Autism Awareness Month. There are more than 3.5 million people with autism spectrum disorders living in the United States.
Microsoft has contracted a specialty recruiting firm, Specialisterne, to help with the hiring process. The firm operates out of Denmark and the United Kingdom and has worked with several IT companies (as well as in other sectors) to promote the hiring of people with autism for specific jobs.
Initially, 10 positions will be made available.
Smith’s post asserted this decision is consistent with Microsoft’s longstanding commitment to diversity. “At Microsoft, we believe that diversity enriches our performance, our products and services, the communities where we live and work, and the lives of our employees. We provide an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work and have been investing in these programs for many years,” she wrote, going on to say that the company’s goal is to have a workforce that more closely represents its customers.
But, as many commentators have pointed out, the move also makes good business sense. Anna Remington, of the University College London Institute of Education, wrote for Australia’s Special Broadcasting Service April 15 that many companies worldwide are starting to recognize the contributions people with autism can make in the workplace. Specialisterne has said that people with autism find 10% more bugs when checking coding for errors, on average, than their non-autistic counterparts.
Remington also said that it’s clear advocacy efforts are working, with moves such as Microsoft’s being a “testament to the excellent work that many autistic people and their supporters have done to raise awareness of the strengths and abilities associated with autism.” The key to more fully involving people with autism in all areas of employment, she writes, is looking at those strengths instead of at difficulties.
Individuals interested in the Microsoft program can email resumes to msautism@microsoft.com.

Theft Lawyer in Philadelphia Doing Everything It Takes to Protect Your Rights
When it comes to theft, the punishment for the crime can vary depending on a number of factors. The severity of the theft, whether or not violence was used, and the value of what was stolen are all taken into account when determining a sentence. However, no matter what the circumstances may be, if you are convicted of theft, you will likely face some form of punishment.
Theft is defined as taking something that doesn’t belong to you without permission. This could be anything from stealing a small item from a store to robbing someone at gunpoint. While there are different levels of severity, all forms of theft are considered criminal offenses and can result in fines or jail time.

What is Considered Theft in Pennsylvania?
Theft in Pennsylvania is committed when a person unlawfully takes or exercises control over the property of another with the intent to deprive them of it. Additionally, it is considered theft to receive, retain, or dispose of someone else’s property that has been unlawfully taken with the intention of depriving them of it. The crime of theft can be classified as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the value of the property stolen.
Some common theft charges in Pennsylvania include:
Retail theft (shoplifting)
Any of these above crimes are forms of theft and can be punishable in a court of law. Theft can be done in a number of ways. One way is to physically take an item from someone without their permission. This is often called stealing. Another way to commit theft is to fraudulently take someone’s property, for example by using a fake ID to buy something. Theft can also involve taking money or other property through deception or by making a false promise. A theft lawyer in Philadelphia, PA can help you if you have been accused of any of these types of theft.
The Difference Between Misdemeanor Theft and Felony Theft
In Pennsylvania, a misdemeanor theft charge is defined as taking property that is valued at $50 or less. The penalties for a misdemeanor theft conviction include up to five years of probation, a fine of up to $2500, and/or a max of one year in prison. If the theft is robbery or in relation to organized crime it can be a second-degree misdemeanor, a third-degree misdemeanor, or bumped to a felony.
Felony theft is defined as taking property that is valued at more than $2000. The penalties for a third-degree felony theft conviction are much harsher and can include up to seven years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000 and range from first-degree felony theft, to second-degree felony theft and third-degree felony theft crimes.
The value of the property stolen is not the only factor that determines whether a theft crime is classified as a misdemeanor or felony. Other factors that can contribute to this decision include the type of property stolen and the manner in which it was stolen.
For example, if someone robs a bank, this is a felony because it is considered a robbery, which is a type of theft that is always classified as a felony. Additionally, if someone steals a car, this is also typically classified as a felony because vehicles are considered valuable property.
What Defense Can a Theft Lawyer Use for My Theft Case?
There are a few different types of defenses your theft lawyer in Philadelphia, PA can use on your behalf. The first is called Duress. This type of defense argues that the accused was forced to commit the crime due to threats or coercion.
The second type of defense is called Entrapment. This occurs when law enforcement officials induce someone to commit a crime, even if they would not have normally done so.
The third type of defense is insanity. In order for this defense to be used, the accused must have a mental disorder that prevented them from understanding that their actions were wrong.
Lastly, your theft lawyer may try to negotiate a plea bargain on your behalf. A plea bargain is an agreement between the accused and the prosecutor in which the accused pleads guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a lighter sentence.
If you have been charged with theft, it is important that you contact a qualified theft lawyer in Philadelphia, PA as soon as possible. They will review your case and help you decide what the best course of action is. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Will I Be Tried for My Theft Case?
Most theft cases in Philadelphia, PA are tried in the city’s Criminal Court. If you have been arrested and charged with theft, you will most likely need to appear in court for a preliminary hearing. At this hearing, the prosecution will present evidence against you and try to convince the judge that there is enough evidence for your case to go to trial. If the judge believes there is enough evidence, your case will be scheduled for a trial date.
At your trial, the prosecutor will attempt to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you committed the theft. The burden of proof is on the prosecution, and if they cannot meet this burden, you will be found not guilty. If you are found guilty, however, you may be sentenced to jail time, probation, or other penalties.
No matter what stage of the criminal process you are in, it is important to have an experienced theft lawyer by your side.

Renovating a basement can be a great way to add value to your home, but it’s important to consider the cost and potential return on investment before you start.
Basement renovations can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to $50,000 or more, so it’s important to assess your needs and budget before you get started. If your basement is in good condition and doesn’t need any major repairs, you may only need to invest in some new finishes and fixtures to achieve the look you want.
On the other hand, if your basement is in need of repairs or is unfinished, you may need to invest more money to bring it up to par. In either case, it’s important to consider the potential return on investment you can expect from a basement renovation.
According to HGTV, homeowners can expect to recoup around 70-80% of their renovation costs when they sell their home. This may vary depending on your location and the current market conditions, but it’s important to keep in mind that a basement renovation can add significant value to your home.
If you’re thinking of renovating your basement, be sure to consult with a contractor to get an idea of what the job will cost and how long it will take. By doing your homework and planning ahead, you can make sure that your basement renovation is a success.
If you are thinking about finishing your basement, you will want to know how much it will cost. The cost of finishing a basement can vary depending on the size of the basement, the type of finishes you choose, and the contractor you hire. In this article, we will give you an estimate of how much it will cost to finish a basement in Ontario in 2022.
The average cost to finish a basement in Ontario is between $10,000 and $25,000. However, this price can vary significantly depending on the size of the basement and the type of finishes you choose. The cost of labour and materials will also affect the final price.
Some of the most common finishes for a basement include drywall, insulation, paint, trim, and flooring. The cost of these finishes can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the quality and type of materials you choose.
If you are hiring a contractor to finish your basement, the cost will be higher. Contractors typically charge between $50 and $100 per hour, and the total cost will depend on the size and complexity of the project.
In general, the cost to finish a basement in Ontario will be between $10,000 and $25,000. This price includes labour, materials, and the cost of hiring a contractor. If you are on a tight budget, you can choose lower quality finishes, which will reduce the cost. However, if you want a high-quality finish, you will need to budget for more.
When renovating your basement, it’s important to have a clear idea of what you want and how much it will cost. This will help you create a budget that works for you.
There are a few things to consider when budgeting for a basement renovation:
1. The type of renovation you want
2. The materials you need
3. The labour costs
Before you can begin budgeting, you need to decide what type of renovation you want. Are you looking to finish the basement or just do some basic upgrades? Once you know this, you can start looking at materials and labour costs.
Finishing a basement can be expensive, so it’s important to be realistic about what you can afford. Decide on the features you want and research the average cost of each one. labour costs can also be expensive, so be sure to factor that in when creating your budget.
It’s also important to be flexible. Unexpected expenses can crop up during a renovation, so be prepared to adjust your budget as needed.
By taking the time to plan and budget for your basement renovation, you can ensure that the project stays on track and within your budget.
The average cost to finish a basement in Colorado is around $13,000. This price can vary depending on the size and scope of the project, as well as the specific region of the state.
There are a few things that can affect the cost of finishing a basement, such as the condition of the existing space, the type of finishes and materials that are used, and the complexity of the project. In general, the more work that needs to be done to prepare the space for finishing, the more expensive the project will be.
Finishing a basement can be a great way to add extra living space to a home, and it can be a relatively affordable way to do so. By taking into account the average cost to finish a basement in Colorado, homeowners can get a better idea of what to expect for their own project.
There are many things to consider when finishing a basement, but what really adds the most value? Here are four things to think about.
1. Extra living space
Finishing a basement can add a lot of extra living space to a home. This can be a great addition for a growing family, or for anyone who needs extra space. This can be a great way to add value to your home, and it can be a lot less expensive than adding on to your home.
2. A home office
If you need a home office, finishing your basement is a great way to add one without taking up any extra space in your home. You can create a completely separate space in your basement, which can be great for privacy.
3. A rec room
A rec room is a great way to add fun and entertainment to your home. It can be a great place to hang out with friends and family, or to watch movies. It can also be a great place to play games or have parties.
4. A bedroom
If you need more bedrooms in your home, finishing your basement can be a great way to add them. You can create a separate space for a bedroom, or you can turn part of your basement into a bedroom. This can be a great way to add value to your home, and it can be a lot less expensive than adding on to your home.
The hardest part of finishing a basement is undoubtedly the construction phase. This is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive part of the process, and it can be difficult to get things done right the first time. If you’re not experienced in construction, it’s important to hire a contractor who can help you through the process.
Another challenge of finishing a basement is making sure that it’s properly insulated and waterproofed. If you don’t take these steps, your basement could easily become damp and uncomfortable. It’s also important to choose the right flooring and furnishings for your basement, since it will likely be used as a living space.
With a little planning and effort, however, it’s possible to finish your basement and create a comfortable and functional living space. Just make sure to budget enough time and money for the project, and be prepared to dealing with a few challenges along the way."
Drywalling a basement can be a big job, but it’s a necessary one to make the space usable. The cost of the drywall itself will vary depending on the quality of the material you choose, but on average, it costs around $1.50 per square foot to install. So, to drywall a 1000-square-foot basement, you can expect to pay around $1,500.
In addition to the cost of the drywall, you’ll also need to factor in the cost of the labor. Hiring a professional to do the job for you will cost around $50 per hour, so if the job takes 10 hours to complete, you can expect to pay around $500.
So, in total, you can expect to pay around $2,000 to drywall a 1000-square-foot basement.

“Half-Crazy” by Johnny Gill (1985)
Three years before he released his first record as a member of New Edition, and five years before he rubbed us the right way, Johnny Gill had a modest R&B hit with “Half-Crazy”, a piano ballad I (if I remember correctly) overheard one night in my bedroom as my parents were watching the video in the living room. I fell in love with the tune immediately, although I’m pretty sure a fair amount of time went by before I heard it regularly. In 2019, this sentence I’m about to write seems so foreign, but up until the beginning of the century, if there was an old song that you wanted to hear again, you had to chase that motherfucker down. Particularly if, like “Half-Crazy”, neither the song nor the album that contained it was an especially big hit. I eventually ended up purchasing “Half-Crazy” on a Johnny Gill compilation that came out around 1999 or 2000, and it hasn’t left the rotation since.
JG is blessed with one of the all-time great soul voices, but “Half-Crazy” came out when Johnny was 18, and he still seemed like a boy that sounded like a man. It was hard to find material that suited him (which is why another few years passed before he was able to garner consistent solo success). “Half-Crazy” is definitely an adult song (and all praises due to one of the greatest unsung lyricists of all time, Linda Creed, for writing this song), and Johnny sings the shit out of it. How can you inhabit emotions like this before you can purchase alcohol?
Not a whole lot more I can say here. Just listen to the song…

In Search Of The Perfect Breast: The Most Popular Types Of Mammoplasty
Video: In Search Of The Perfect Breast: The Most Popular Types Of Mammoplasty
Video: Augmentation Mammoplasty in Korea 2023, March
Alexander Andreev, plastic surgeon, current member of ROPREH, specialist in mammoplasty, talks about the pros and cons of each type
In modern society, there are special requirements for female beauty. Therefore, many of the fair sex, whom nature has deprived of the "ideal couple" and who have lost their former forms due to breastfeeding, seek to gain beauty through plastic surgery.
1. Breast augmentation surgery
In the modern world, it is one of the most popular operations in aesthetic breast surgery. The breast is enlarged or restored in size through the installation of implants. Implants are divided into two classes. Round implants create a push-up breast shape. Anatomical implants are tear-shaped and look as natural as possible. Breast augmentation allows women to increase their self-esteem by achieving the desired body proportions. It is after the operation that many women improve their personal lives, since breast augmentation gives them self-confidence, has not only physiological, but also psychological effects.
2. Breast lift. Most often women apply for a breast lift after breastfeeding or after weight fluctuations. The breasts can seriously lose their shape, sag, which reduces the attractiveness of a woman, negatively affects her self-esteem. A plastic surgeon with the help of a lift removes excess skin, returns the breast to its previous or even more beautiful shape.
3. Breast reduction. This operation is chosen by women with too large breasts, which gives them uncomfortable sensations associated with heaviness and back pain. In the event of a surgeon's intervention, the size of the breast is reduced to the desired size, after which the breast is tightened.
All of these operations are performed under general anesthesia and last approximately 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. The longest operation - breast reduction - takes about one and a half to two hours, breast lift - an hour, breast augmentation, on average, can be performed in half an hour. Basic rehabilitation lasts about a month. During this time, the patient must wear a special compression garment. If there were no complications, then after a month the restrictions are almost completely removed, and after two months the woman can live the same life, forgetting that she had such an operation. There are also some recommendations - for example, doctors advise getting pregnant only after three months after the operation. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12227 | {"url": "https://folksyfitness.com/8836688-in-search-of-the-perfect-breast-the-most-popular-types-of-mammoplasty", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "folksyfitness.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:32:47Z", "digest": "sha1:RYYJQUNAWLG7GUSSTTAQ455VD45VWDKC"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2619, 2619.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2619, 6754.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2619, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2619, 79.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2619, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2619, 269.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2619, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2619, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2619, 1.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2619, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2619, 0.36680328]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2619, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2619, 0.05901639]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2619, 0.05901639]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2619, 0.05901639]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2619, 0.05901639]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2619, 0.05901639]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2619, 0.05901639]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2619, 0.01405152]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2619, 0.01967213]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2619, 0.01217799]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2619, 0.00409836]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2619, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2619, 0.15983607]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2619, 0.53170732]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2619, 5.20731707]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2619, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2619, 4.95235383]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2619, 410.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 149, 0.0], [149, 202, 0.0], [202, 334, 0.0], [334, 587, 1.0], [587, 618, 0.0], [618, 1236, 1.0], [1236, 1601, 1.0], [1601, 1897, 1.0], [1897, 2619, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 149, 0.0], [149, 202, 0.0], [202, 334, 0.0], [334, 587, 0.0], [587, 618, 0.0], [618, 1236, 0.0], [1236, 1601, 0.0], [1601, 1897, 0.0], [1897, 2619, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 71, 12.0], [71, 149, 13.0], [149, 202, 7.0], [202, 334, 20.0], [334, 587, 41.0], [587, 618, 4.0], [618, 1236, 92.0], [1236, 1601, 59.0], [1601, 1897, 48.0], [1897, 2619, 114.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 149, 0.0], [149, 202, 0.08], [202, 334, 0.0], [334, 587, 0.0], [587, 618, 0.03448276], [618, 1236, 0.0], [1236, 1601, 0.00282486], [1601, 1897, 0.00348432], [1897, 2619, 0.00573066]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 149, 0.0], [149, 202, 0.0], [202, 334, 0.0], [334, 587, 0.0], [587, 618, 0.0], [618, 1236, 0.0], [1236, 1601, 0.0], [1601, 1897, 0.0], [1897, 2619, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 71, 0.16901408], [71, 149, 0.16666667], [149, 202, 0.09433962], [202, 334, 0.06060606], [334, 587, 0.00790514], [587, 618, 0.03225806], [618, 1236, 0.01132686], [1236, 1601, 0.0109589], [1601, 1897, 0.01013514], [1897, 2619, 0.00831025]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2619, 0.40883052]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2619, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2619, 0.4170208]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2619, -30.43477179]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2619, 20.47341018]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2619, 18.84512227]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2619, 26.0]]} |

C 4: VI. The Rewards of God, P 1
Posted byrevmyronjones November 22, 2015 Posted inACIM Studies, ACIM Text
VI. The Rewards of God, P 1
1 The ego does not recognize the real source of “threat,” and if you associate yourself with the ego, you do not understand the situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it gives the ego any power over you. I have spoken of the ego as if it were a separate thing, acting on its own. This was necessary to persuade you that you cannot dismiss it lightly, and must realize how much of your thinking is ego-directed. We cannot safely let it go at that, however, or you will regard yourself as necessarily conflicted as long as you are here, or as long as you believe that you are here. The ego is nothing more than a part of your belief about yourself. Your other life has continued without interruption, and has been and always will be totally unaffected by your attempts to dissociate it.
It was necessary for me to know about the ego, to recognize it and understand it. Jesus will continue to coach me about the ego. I must see the ego and choose against it if I am to wake up and return to God. My part is so small, but it is absolutely essential. I must look with the Holy Spirit, and I must choose, unequivocally, to let go what I see. The rest is done for me, but I must do my part. This is why I must learn to recognize the ego wherever I see it. And this is why I must learn that I don’t value what it has to offer me and so choose against it.
When I first started this it seemed very hard. I wasn’t sure what was ego and what was Spirit. I had convinced myself that ego provided protection and so it seemed my friend. Here is an example. When I was married my husband and I argued over how to discipline the children. I would try to see this with the Holy Spirit but I would become confused as the ego mind would warn me that I had to protect my children, that my husband was the enemy in this case. My fear was blinding me to the truth and the ego was offering to protect me from what I feared.
From where I stand now, after years of watching my mind and asking for clarity, I see how the ego worked in this situation. I know that there is no one guilty in that scenario, and if I see guilt I am looking with the ego. That is always true, and there is never a situation in which it is not true. The ego jumps up and down when I say this, even now. It warns that without my outrage and my protection my children would have been hurt.
Let me say that my husband was not physically abusive and on looking back on the situation he was probably sometimes right when I thought he was wrong. But he disciplined from a place of fear using guilt and shame and I thought that was completely wrong and potentially damaging. The interesting thing is that when I tried to stop that behavior I did so from a place of fear using guilt and shame.
It is always my job to heal my own mind. If I had been clearer I would have done that. I would have ignored the ego and focused on healing my mind. Then from a place of love, I could have been a positive influence on everyone. I can still get lost in the ego story and become momentarily confused, but less so now because the Course has helped me to recognize the ego when I see it.
Now that I have a clear understanding of how the ego works and how to recognize it, and now that I know I don’t want the ego’s “help,” I am ready to understand what ego really is. Jesus says that the ego is nothing more than a part of my belief about myself. The ego is not a thing, or a being, and has no reality nor power outside of my belief in it. It is just something I believe about myself. Because it is just a belief system, I can dismantle it easily by choosing against it.
This is why I am vigilant for my thinking. I see signs of the ego thought system at work in my mind, and I ask the Holy Spirit to correct my thinking. I no longer value that belief and don’t want to be influenced by it, so I want it gone. The reason I need help is that I believe in it. Though I hide the memory from myself, I made it and I believe in it, so I can’t teach myself not to believe in it.
Try and teach yourself that blue is not blue, that it is not really a color. You can tell yourself over and over that it is not really blue, but you believe it is and reason keeps bringing you back to what you believe. That’s the problem with the ego. We can try to reason our way out of this and we can really want to, but we can’t. It is a closed system, and we need something from outside that system to help us.
The Holy Spirit is our help. The Holy Spirit understands our belief in the ego, and even understands our confusion as we identify with it and think we are the ego. But He also knows that the ego is not real, that it is an untrue thought system, and so while He understands it He doesn’t believe in it. This is why He can heal our minds, and thus free of us from our delusions.
The ego includes our bodies, our life, and all the world we see. It is all an illusion. We are not living, but dreaming we live within this illusion. But outside the ego illusion, our life continues as if we were not dreaming. We have a real life! And we can become aware of that life as we move our awareness from this dream. We do this when we see the ego thinking and choose against it by allowing the Holy Spirit to choose for God for us. Does your heart sing just a little as you think of your real life?

Will Smith apologizes for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, saying he was ‘out of line’ and ‘wrong’

Actor Will Smith has apologized for slapping Chris Rock on stage during the 2022 Oscars award ceremony on Sunday, calling his behavior “unacceptable and inexcusable.”
Smith, who won an Academy Award for King Richard, in which he played the film’s title character, made his apology on Monday in an Instagram post. He said he was “out of line” and personally apologized to the ceremony’s organizers, the public, and to Rock, who had made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” Smith said. “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable.”
Smith’s outburst shocked attendees and viewers of the Academy Awards ceremony and overshadowed the annual Hollywood entertainment gala in which the Apple original film CODA won best picture.
The Academy Awards organizers condemned the incident and said it would investigate. Los Angeles police said they would not pursue the matter after Rock declined to press charges.
Rock’s joke centered on the shaved head of Pinkett Smith, who has spoken publicly about having the medical condition, alopecia, which results in hair loss.
Here’s Smiths’ full statement:
