Entertaining Food: Oh, Pabla: Why Are You So Delicious? skip to main | skip to sidebar Entertaining Food Real. Restaurant. Reviews. Oh, Pabla: Why Are You So Delicious? Pabla India Grill - Indian Cuisine (4.5 Stars) http://www.pablacuisine.com My best friend Chris and my favorite Indian restaurant is, by far, Pabla India Grill in Tukwila. Despite their website not having been updated to include this location yet, you know a restaurant has delicious food when you go out of your way (by 20-30 minutes) just so you can sneak in before the everyday lunch buffet ends mid-afternoon. Ironically, even if we are milling about on the weekend in Bellevue, the drive is never too far to satisfy our craving for sweet and savory Indian goodness. Regardless of how many times we eat there, we've slipped into a comfortable routine that includes ordering one type of each of the following: samosa, pakora, nan (or naan, depending on where you're dining), and masala. Of course, we also lap up a bowl or two of the kheer for dessert and this visit proved to be no exception. The Vegetable Samosas are a guaranteed comfort food no matter where you're from. The pastry is always buttery and flaky (think savory pie dough) and the filling is bursting with well-spiced potatoes and peas. It's impossible to eat just one and we often end up eating at least two each. As usual, we alternate dousing them with the cool and spicy cilantro chutney or the sweet and savory tamarind chutney. Those sauces are so good, there are usually six or eight condiment bowls of them on our table shared between just the two of us. The combination of warm, savory, spicy, and cool...whew! You'll find it difficult NOT attending the buffet. As our Indian dining habit suggests, a pakora was next. While I often order the Paneer Pakora to help feed my complete addiction to paneer, this time we chose the Chicken Pakoras. Holy fingers of goodness! The chickpea batter was light, crispy, a bit spicy, and very well seasoned. The chicken was ridiculously fresh and juicy. Literally, Chris and I looked up from our respective plates and gave each other the, "OMG. Honestly. How are they this good?" look. I didn't shut up about them for at least a week. We were so thrilled with how surprisingly good they were, we've ordered Chicken Pakoras other places and have always been disappointed. These really are the perfect "chicken finger". Nan at Indian restaurants is as ubiquitous as "chips and salsa" at a Taqueria, but it can make a big difference to the overall food experience if it's great. The Garlic Nan at Pabla is so flaky and flavorful, it would be a shame to pass it up. It's crispy and sturdy enough to hold spoonfuls of your favorite masala or curry, yet tender enough to fold taco-like for easy chowing. Pabla features several types of nan including spinach, paneer, and cauliflower, as well as a "special nan" that includes nuts and dried fruit. They also have puri (puffy wheat based bread; think sopapilla) and parathas (also whole wheat based), among others, for over a dozen various bread accompaniments to dinner. Chris waffles between Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken as his must-have entree and the former won out during this dinner. Even at four or five stars, the tender, yogurt-marinated and tandoor-cooked chicken chunks swim through the luxurious tomato and cream sauce and right down your gullet. It's often by this point in the meal that Chris starts uttering nonsense like, "I'm starting to get full" or ridiculous notions of "Taking the rest home in a doggie bag". Of course, given another five minutes, his masala bowl will be spotless and the nan nowhere to be found and this dish is usually the cause of him being completely unable to say no. If you're new to Indian food, this is probably one of the most accessible and delicious dishes you can try. One bite and you'll be hooked. As for me being hooked, my new favorite entree is the Pabla Special Masala, mainly because I adore anything with paneer in it. That said, the quartered mushrooms, large diced onions and peppers, and sinful cubes of paneer can't help but play nice while surrounded by the velvety ginger, tomato, and onion sauce. At four stars, it packed enough heat to cause sniffling, though the only tears that came to my eyes were when my spoon scraped the bottom of the empty bowl. I really feel that Indian food is as much about the sauce as it is the bites floating in the sauce and this dish delivers a rich, creamy, flavorful sauce that's worth dipping everything else into. As has been our tradition for a while now, we generally end our meal with Kheer. For those of you who have never tasted this creamy, porridgy delight, think rice pudding. It's made with milk, sugar, and usually basmati rice, but isn't cloyingly sweet like a lot of rice puddings thanks to the cardamom and almonds. The kheer is served chilled and we've yet to eat just one bowl of it while attending the lunchtime buffet. With a buffet that features over 20 items for $10 (easily the BEST deal anywhere) and dinners worth taking anyone you love, it's no wonder why Pabla India Grill is by far my favorite Indian restaurant in the greater Seattle area. The 4 Stars are well deserved. Ironically, this restaurant sits in the same strip mall as Miyabi Sushi and Bai Tong, so you can enjoy fantastic sushi or amazing Thai food before or after an incredible Indian feast.

I love the look of the samosas...and the sound of kheer...one to make!!!!!! November 25, 2009 at 9:35 PM Jared K. Wengert said... Google for a few kheer recipes. It's pretty easy to make and so delicious. :) November 25, 2009 at 9:48 PM NMOS said... The naan is one of the reasons I keep going back to Indian restaurants. I love the freshly baked goodness. Try the garlic naan if you haven't already. November 29, 2009 at 1:01 AM Jared K. Wengert said... The Garlic Nan was featured in the review. It's definitely one of my favorites. :) November 29, 2009 at 1:23 AM Anonymous said... burberry outlet online, ray ban sunglasses, air max, tory burch outlet, true religion, polo ralph lauren outlet, oakley sunglasses, oakley sunglasses, true religion jeans, ray ban, burberry outlet online, coach purses, longchamp outlet, coach factory, michael kors outlet, gucci outlet, louboutin, coach outlet store, coach outlet, tiffany and co, polo ralph lauren, chanel handbags, oakley sunglasses, oakley sunglasses, kate spade outlet, toms shoes, nike free, michael kors outlet, prada handbags, nike shoes, nike air max, louis vuitton outlet online, louis vuitton handbags, jordan shoes, coach factory outlet, ray ban sunglasses, oakley sunglasses, louboutin July 30, 2014 at 1:33 AM Anonymous said... ray ban, new balance shoes, ugg boots, louis vuitton, ugg boots, bottega, montre homme, lancel, nfl jerseys, nike air max, asics gel, celine handbags, ralph lauren, mulberry, rolex watches, tn pas cher, louboutin, soccer shoes, jimmy choo, nike free, juicy couture outlet, ugg boots, nike air max, air max, gucci, converse shoes, ferragamo shoes, chi flat iron, yoga pants, nike free, hollister, oakley, valentino, ray ban, supra shoes, karen millen, beats by dre, vans, jerseys, longchamp, louis vuitton, insanity, reebok outlet, ralph lauren, ghd, mcm handbags, timberland, birkin bag, abercrombie and fitch, oakley, July 30, 2014 at 1:40 AM Unknown said...

Bethesda Softworks makes some of the most elaborate and expansive games in the world—and now they’re making them in VR. Last week, the publisher confirmed that Fallout 4 VR, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR, and Doom VFR will all release before year’s end on various platforms.
It was no big shock that they were coming; after all, we went hands-on with all three back at E3. Still, it’s surprising to see that all three are debuting around the same time, marking a huge push from Bethesda to assert itself in the still young consumer VR space this holiday season. And Fallout 4 VR and Skyrim VR are absolutely massive games, vastly larger than the average VR experience, because they’re the very same epic role-playing adventures already out for PC and consoles.
Why serve up these enormous games in VR? I asked Pete Hines, the publisher’s vice president of marketing and PR, at this past weekend’s QuakeCon expo outside Dallas, TX.
Open-World VR
“Honestly, a lot of it is down to how those games are built—they’re not level-based, they’re not carvable. You can’t really say, ‘Here, let’s take this chunk and make it a two, or three, or five-hour experience.’ They’re all one thing,” Hines explains. “So in looking at VR, the studio is like, ‘Well, that’s how we built it. Let’s see if it works as all one thing on VR platforms.’ And it turns out that it did. Obviously, we had to put a lot of work into UI, UX, and performance. You need people to understand how to interact with the game, and then performance-wise, make sure they’re not throwing up because you’re dropping frames. But we didn’t have to solve any of the, ‘Well, what are our quests, or the story, or characters, or stuff to do?’ Because all of that stuff was already done.”
Both games were already deeply immersive experiences on TVs and monitors, which is part of why they can potentially work so well in VR: they’re vast, incredibly detailed, and just a joy to explore. In fact, we’ve already picked out 11 places we can’t wait to explore in VR in both Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR, and that’s really just scratching the surface. Hines says that “live another life in another world” has been Bethesda Game Studios’ mantra from the start, and that virtual reality just elevates it dramatically for these open-environment games.
“VR takes that to another level, where you just have a much greater sense of place within this world. You’re up standing on a mountain and the snow is blowing. You just feel that on another level that you don’t get playing anything off of a monitor,” Hines says. “Somebody was asking, ‘For you, what really brings home those experiences?’ And honestly, it’s like when something huge is in front of you and you look at the top of it like this,” he adds, looking up to the ceiling.
“You’re not moving your mouse to do that, or a thumbstick. There’s just something about craning your neck up to look at the top of it that is just so much more of an ‘Oh shit’ moment than anything that you’ve had before,” Hines affirms. “Or playing Fallout and dropping your head to look at Dogmeat. It just makes him feel so much more like your dog, and so I think it’s just little stuff like that. Until you play it or experience it in VR, you don’t really have the same kind of appreciation for that sense of place in games like these.”
That said, one of the reasons that many from-scratch VR experiences are short is because it better fits the consumption habits of VR players. Fallout 4 and Skyrim can each be played for 100 hours apiece or more, which can be a lot easier to tolerate in long stretches on a screen rather than within a headset. Hines says “it’s possible” that people will play those games in VR for such spans, but he suspects it’ll be gradually over time instead of in marathon sessions.
“I think it’s going to be the kind of experience that folks are going to graze at,” Hines suggests. “I don’t see people binge-playing eight, 10, 12 hours for multiple days in a row like they did when those games first came out.”
Doom and Beyond
By contrast, Doom VFR is a bit closer to what we’ve seen in the VR space: it’s a more compact experience that’s been altered to better fit the VR play design. Developer id Software started with the heart of last year’s excellent Doom reboot, but that game was far too frantic and insanely paced to work in virtual reality. Well, at least without rampant motion sickness.
“[Fallout and Skyrim] from a pacing standpoint work just fine as a VR thing—there’s some stuff you need to do with how you move, and obviously the UI and UX,” Hines explains. “We didn’t have the problem of like, ‘Well, you’re moving too fast.’ [But] in Doom, you’re moving too fast. You simply can’t take a game where you’re that fast and aggressive, and mantling and jumping and double-jumping, and have anybody survive that for more than 35 seconds. Rather than making a 35-second game, they had to look at it like, ‘Well, how do we take that and translate it into VR?'”
Instead of constant movement and those wild, up-close-and-personal kill moves against demons, now you’ll teleport around (or nudge forward with a tap) and can execute “telefrag” maneuvers that let you teleport into a foe to finish it off. It “still makes you feel fast and aggressive,” Hines claims, but it shouldn’t make players feel queasy in the process. Additionally, some of Doom’s environments were reworked to better suit the VR experience.
“They were designed for somebody moving fast and mantling and jumping, which you’re not doing any of,” Hines explains. “We needed stuff that’s more purposeful for how you’re moving and working through Doom VFR.”
All three of Bethesda’s big VR games will ship within a one-month span, although they’re not all getting multiplatform launches from the start. Skyrim VR debuts first on PlayStation VR only, on November 17, with Doom VFR following on December 1 for both PlayStation VR and HTC Vive. Meanwhile, Fallout 4 VR will only hit HTC Vive first on its release date of December 12.
Why no Fallout 4 VR for PlayStation VR? Likewise, where is Skyrim VR for Vive? Hines couldn’t offer a definitive answer.
“I don’t know. We want to put it out on as many platforms as possible,” he said about Fallout 4 for PSVR, and suggested the same kind of scenario for Skyrim on Vive. “Whatever will work and be viable, we’re up for. This one is gonna be the first, and we’ll see what happens after that.”
Similarly, he wasn’t sure if any of the games would be compatible with the Oculus Rift via SteamVR at launch, but said he could check and get back to us. I’ve inquired about it since the interview with Bethesda PR and will update if we get a response.
I also asked why Skyrim VR is launching with all of the downloadable add-on content already bundled in, while Fallout 4 VR is not, and Hines says it’s all about the code they started with. “We had done some work already with Skyrim and the Game of the Year [Edition] that already had all of that stuff,” he explained. “It was more that that was the code base and starting point for doing the VR version, and that simply didn’t exist for Fallout. What we started with was just base game [for Fallout 4] and game of the year with all the DLC [for Skyrim], so that’s why those versions look like those versions.”
Will Fallout 4 VR eventually get that DLC as post-release content? “I don’t know,” says Hines.
Making an Impact
Ultimately, releasing all three of these large and visible VR experiences a couple weeks apart wasn’t some master plan from the start—that’s just how they all came together, claims Hines.
“It’s just how they lined up. We didn’t say, ‘Hey, let’s launch three games next year.’ What we do and take on comes out of what the studios are interested in, and they know better than anybody,” he says. “They know their tech, they know their platforms—so it was really a question of how long they were going to take, and how long they needed.”
And in the case of Bethesda Game Studios and the VR versions of both Skyrim and Fallout 4, we can probably thank Dallas’ own Escalation Studios. Bethesda acquired them earlier this year, and Hines says their work has been invaluable in getting those two games ready for release. “Without their help, I’m not sure if they’d make it out this year,” he affirms.
Debuting three large VR titles at the same time might seem like a risk for Bethesda, but Hines says their performance won’t necessarily dictate the company’s future in the space. “All of our studios are actively looking at and talking about what they want to do. Our focus right now is on these three, given that they’re all coming out this year,” he says. “But it’s something we’re actively involved in and working with. We just haven’t talked about any of our other going-forward plans yet.”

How about sharing a Titanic toast with tell-all biographer Andrew Morton? If you act fast and care to shell out -- gulp! -- $30,195 (hey, it includes airfare!), the opportunity can be yours. The man who brought you "Monica's Story" and Princess Di's daft drivel will join a batch of "famed entertainers and noted historians" aboard Silversea Cruises' millennium cruise.

We're talking about the bark-chewing semiaquatic rodents who are decimating D.C.'s precious cherry-tree population.) Our sympathies are with another wild animal caught at the scene of a crime, this one with no animal rights activists to come to its aid. We're talking, of course, about the rabid fox that attacked Lucy Dover when she stepped out of her mobile home last week to smoke a cigarette. The fox knocked down Dover and bit and clawed her, but ultimately proved no match for the nicotine-craving 79-year-old Brooksville, Fla., resident.

Michael Moore, the shamelessly self-promoting big-business gadfly who tormented General Motors chairman Roger Smith in the 1989 documentary "Roger & Me," agitated white supremacists and countless others in the now-cancelled TV show "TV Nation" and brought himself literary buzz with his 1996 book "Downsize This!", has a new cable show and favorite target. "The Awful Truth," which premiered Sunday on Bravo, takes almost as many shots at NYC nasty-man-in-chief Rudy Giuliani as the mayor's police force took at Amadou Diallo. For one episode, Moore, who clearly hasn't heeded Rudy's plea for politeness, opened the Mayor Giuliani Gift Shop and Sex Emporium in Times Square (among the offerings: a peep show featuring Giuliani's State of the City address combined with porn footage). The shop was quickly shuttered by Giuliani's bruisers in blue. "I am afraid that without Mayor Giuliani there would be no 'Awful Truth,' because Giuliani is the epitome of the awful truth," Moore recently told the New York Daily News. "And if he ever grows a sense of humor, we are done." No worries there. Maybe Moore can find a job for fellow Rudy-hater and recent "People's Court" reject Ed Koch.

Several studios are currently taking legal action against Australian ISP iiNet. They accuse iiNet of failing to take steps to stop its subscribers from sharing files by disconnecting them from the Internet. Now iiNet has been ordered to hand over the personal details and logs relating to twenty alleged pirates, to anti-piracy group AFACT.
The battle between several studios – Village Roadshow, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros Entertainment, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Disney Enterprises, Inc. and the Seven Network (under the umbrella of AFACT), against Australian ISP iiNet continues to drag on. AFACT had demanded that iiNet disconnected alleged copyright infringers but the ISP refused.
Earlier we reported how AFACT had got an individual to sign up as an iiNet customer and commit a kind of ‘authorized copyright infringement’ in order to gather evidence on alleged pirates. AFACT then complained to iiNet of this individual’s ‘infringements’ but iiNet took no action against him, boosting the claims that the ISP knew about piracy, but did nothing about it.
Now, according to an iTNews report, iiNet has been ordered by Australia’s Federal Court to hand over the records of twenty ‘pirate’ customers. The information will include IP addresses allocated to these individuals and their “download histories” – it is far from clear what these records will consist of or how detailed they are.
The information will be used as evidence in the case, but fortunately for these twenty individuals, information which personally identifies them will be removed. The disclosures could’ve been even greater in number, since Steve Dalby from iiNet told iTnews that AFACT originally wanted the details from 300-400 customer accounts to be handed over.
An AFACT spokesman confirmed that several of the twenty accounts had been nominated by the anti-piracy group since these were tracked transferring material by their investigator.
Executive Director of AFACT Adrianne Pecotic commented, “We are confident that the sample of twenty accounts ordered by the Court to be provided by iiNet will be more than adequate to illustrate the infringing behaviour of iiNet’s subscribers.”
On the other side, iiNet has voiced concern that so far AFACT has refused to hand over documents which would reveal if it made copyright-related demands such as those outlined in this case to ISPs other than iiNet. Steve Dalby of iiNet said they were trying to work out why AFACT and its Hollywood paymasters had chosen to pick on one Australian ISP to take action.
“AFACT hasn’t told us what it is we didn’t do; they have simply said we didn’t take reasonable steps to stop copyright infringement on our network. What we’re trying to understand is what arrangements are defined as reasonable,” iiNet’s Dalby told iTnews.
“There are 400 ISPs operating in Australia. If we were expected to take specific actions that nobody else is required to undertake, we would argue that is quite unreasonable. So we are asking AFACT the question while under the confidentiality of the court – what agreements do you have with other ISPs?”
iNet will get their way on this request, as the court has ruled that the ISP can see any “form of demand” AFACT has served on other ISPs in Australia. | positive |
“You Oughta Know” – Alanis Morissette (1995): While speculation has persisted for years regarding just whom Morissette was addressing in this timeless cut off the celebrated ’90s album Jagged Little Pill, the songwriter herself recently admitted what many had long suspected: The tune was written about renowned actor and her former flame Tom Selleck.
“F**k You!” – Cee Lo Green (2010): This bouncy, instantly recognizable pop tune provides a real-life account of Cee Lo Green’s frustration and resentment at losing his former girlfriend to the far more suave and wealthy Tom Selleck.
“Hey Jude” – The Beatles (1968): This iconic Beatles hit was also inspired by the work of Selleck, then an aspiring commercial actor and two-time contestant on The Dating Game, who was known to the Fab Four by his nickname, “Jude.” Following the success of the single, the band also composed 17 more songs about the man for their Selleck-based concept album, Abbey Road.
“The Girl From Ipanema” – Antônio Carlos Jobim (1962): While a faulty translation from the original Portuguese has led many to incorrectly believe that this bossa nova classic was written about a comely beauty strolling past a group of lovestruck onlookers in Rio de Janeiro, Jobim actually wrote it about the true object of his fascination: a “tall and tan and young and lovely” Tom Selleck.
“Jeremy” – Pearl Jam (1991): Pearl Jam’s early-’90s rocker courted controversy with its disturbing lyrics and graphic music video, both of which were drawn directly from television and film actor Tom Selleck’s troubled childhood, including his violent outbursts and intense feelings of alienation.
“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” – Gil Scott-Heron (1971): Accompanied by spare percussion backing, jazz poet Scott-Heron’s definitive call to revolution contains numerous oblique references to his lifelong best friend Tom Selleck, with the Mr. Baseball actor himself playing the conga drums in the original recording.
“Candle In The Wind” – Elton John (1973): The subject of Sir Elton’s emotional piano ballad becomes immediately evident from its opening line, “Goodbye, Tom Selleck.”
“Star Wars (Main Theme)” – John Williams (1977): While director George Lucas reportedly requested that legendary film composer John Williams consider the nature of good triumphing over evil when writing this stirring overture to heroism and adventure, the conductor found his true muse for the piece in actor Tom Selleck, who had recently made a name for himself with a number of indelible appearances in dramatic television movies. Williams would later cite the future Three Men And A Baby star as his inspiration for the “Imperial March” and the entire E.T. soundtrack as well.
“Lola” – The Kinks (1970): This intensely catchy chart-topping rock track, which still enjoys heavy radio play to this day, famously chronicles band manager Robert Wace’s sexual encounter with a transvestite Tom Selleck in Soho, London. | positive |

48. The Six Million Dollar Man
Sometimes little strands of pop culture become so woven into daily life that we forget where they came from. The phrase "we have the technology" originated, of course, from the opening credits of The Six Million Dollar Man, 90 seconds of perfection which, taken on its own, may rank as one of the best short films of the entire 1970s.
Lee Majors's Steve Austin (neither stone nor cold) was an astronaut who suffered a terrible crash in a test aircraft. Luckily, Richard Anderson was there to make him bigger, stronger, and faster by adding "bionics" to his legs, right arm, and eye, which meant he could fight crime with superhuman power. Those powers were never exactly explained, but by slowing down the action and putting a nyah-ah-ah-ah-ah sound effect over all the fight scenes, the producers convinced us something awesome was going on. (Fact: Between 1974 and 1982, every playground in America was home to some doofus making a slo-mo kick and mimicking the accompanying bionic noise.)
A spin-off, The Bionic Woman, and a number of TV movies kept this franchise running on that training treadmill for years. | positive |

Together forever... lovers holding hands for 1,500 years discovered in Rome grave
Bronze ring found with the bones suggests they were married
Final embrace: The male, left, and female bones in their grave
Laid out side by side and holding hands, these 1,500-year-old male and female skeletons are surely a sign of eternal love if ever there was one.
The lovers were probably even ‘looking into each other’s eyes’ when they were buried in the 5th century, during the final days of the Roman Empire.
The extraordinary discovery was made by archaeologists excavating an Ancient Roman palace in the Italian town of Mutina, known today as Modena.
Anthropologist Vania Milani said: ‘It was a very touching and beautiful sight to see.
‘The woman’s head is turned towards the man and they were holding each other’s hands.
‘I suspect the head of the man was also turned towards the woman at the time of burial and that it was probably resting on a cushion which then decomposed over time and caused it to roll away.
‘They would have been looking into each other’s eyes at the time of burial in a sign of eternal love.’
Although not much is known about the couple, a picture is emerging.
A bronze ring found among the woman’s bones, for example, suggests they were married.
And they were probably also of noble birth as citizens of Mutina – famous for its pottery centre which made lamps for the Empire – were usually wealthy.
With the number of plagues that ravaged Europe during this period, it has also been suggested that the couple died close to the same time.
Together to the end: The Roman pair have been holding hands for 1,500 years
Tender work: The archaeologists said they had never been so moved by their findings
Their remains will be displayed in a museum near the town next year.
The tomb was one of 11 found at a depth of around 10ft.
Another one housed three male skeletons, all horribly mutilated – one was a teenager found with his skull between his legs.
It has been suggested the trio were slaves executed by their master.
However, Mrs Milani said evidence of slash wounds suggested they were victims of murder.
It is not the first time ancient multiple burials have been discovered in Italy. In 2007, a couple were found dating back 5,000 years, also near Mutina. | positive |

His lawyer Ralph Poku-Adusei confirmed, on Friday that he was rushed to his private doctors after leaving the Police Hospital where he was receiving medical care while he was in Police custody. Meanwhile, Bishop Obinim is said to be in good health and taking rest in a private place.

Americans entering their second year of the Trump presidency – a year of crazed tweets, historically low approval ratings, many attempts at punitive legislation, and deepening criminal investigations – could be forgiven, in their exhaustion and despair, for thinking that they are living through the most savage and chaotic time in the country's history. Playing with Fire: The 1968 Election and the Transformation of American Politics, the new book by Lawrence O'Donnell, will serve as an eye-opening reminder that things could be much, much worse.
Readers familiar with O'Donnell from his hosting role on MSNBC's "The Last Word" will know something of what to expect from "Playing with Fire"; this is a keen political observer of a type that almost seems to belong to an earlier era (perhaps a generation ago, when Theodore White's "The Making of the President 1968" appeared in bookstores). O'Donnell isn't interested in pat, received narratives or easy answers to complex questions.
This makes him an ideal narrator for the events of 1968, which run together to form a kind of nightmare scenario for the American psyche. The Vietnam War was raging, with body counts keeping the stateside draft in aggressive motion. The year's presidential election was thrown into chaos by President Lyndon Johnson's surprise announcement that he wouldn't seek re-election (“Johnson dropping out exploded everything the party establishment thought they knew about nominating a presidential candidate,” O'Donnell writes. “They did not know what to do”). The year would see the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, nationwide riots, the assassination of Robert Kennedy, and the return to national prominence of candidate Richard Nixon, now trying to reinvent himself as a calm winner: “This Nixon was to be no firebrand,” O'Donnell writes. “The New Nixon had a confident, relaxed, statesmanlike maturity … The New Nixon was never going to seem to be trying too hard.”
With Johnson out of the race and while Bobby Kennedy was still in it, all the old givens of national campaigning seemed up for grabs; O'Donnell draws moving portraits of all the major figures, from RFK, who shared with Jackie Kennedy the belief that John Kennedy's presidency had been America's great chance for “a national redemption,” to watery, hapless candidate Hubert Humphrey, to the figure who emerges as the book's hero, Minnesota Congressman Eugene McCarthy, whose doomed campaign brought the anti-war movement to the forefront.
And there's the dark (five o'clock?) shadow looming over all the other characters in the book. O'Donnell respects his readers' intelligence enough to refrain from making cheap 2016 parallels; his Richard Nixon is not yet an object lesson – he's a nimble professional whose political acumen has not one single scruple attached to it. Through "Playing with Fire"'s always effective dramatic momentum, we see Nixon lying to his aides, his followers, and his president without ever taking his eyes off the end goal of winning the White House.
The path he chose was one even Johnson described as treason. Shortly before the election, in order to prevent Paris peace talks that might have brought an abrupt end to the bombing in Vietnam and possibly thrown the election to Humphrey, Nixon got secret word to South Vietnam President Thieu that he should avoid the peace talks and “hang on” until after the election. “The only way for either side to 'hang on' was to agree to nothing in Paris and keep the war going,” O'Donnell writes. “Of course, that would mean the continued loss of life of American soldiers. That is exactly what Richard Nixon decided was necessary for him to win the presidency.”

The subtitle of O'Donnell's book mentions the “transformation” of American politics, and it's impossible when contemplating such a volatile year to avoid the hypotheticals that come swarming. In his closing pages, O'Donnell raises just a few: “What if Bobby Kennedy had left the stage on the other side of the room that last night of his life in Los Angeles?” he asks. “What if presidential candidates had received Secret Service protection before Bobby Kennedy was assassinated? What if Martin Luther King Jr. had not stepped out onto the balcony of the Lorraine Motel?”
Such questions are unanswerable, of course; in reality, the aftermath of 1968 – seven more years of war, continued social unrest, Watergate, Nixon's resignation, Gerald Ford's pardon – combined to alter forever the trajectory of American public life. In "Playing with Fire," O'Donnell shines a sharp light on the year that may well have been the key fracture point, the moment when the path diverged. Even if our present political world didn't feel so apocalyptic, the book would still be essential reading. | positive |
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been teaching my Sunday school class (the young adult class) on the topic of biblical masculinity. Needless to say, I am approaching this from a thoroughly patriarchist angle, rather than the typical proto-feminist “complementarian” viewpoint that is found in so much of modern evangelicalism, and even in fundamentalism. I enjoy the opportunity to address “current event” issues that are involved with masculinity vis-a-vis feminism as we discuss God’s ordained gender roles in the home, in the church, and in society. I chose to teach on this because I’ve become increasingly burdened about the effeminising direction which Western society has been taking. Too many “men” in Western society have absconded their leadership roles and have become like little children who need their mommies to tell them what to do. It’s why we’ve allowed the divorce courts and the family courts to become the terror of the home; it’s why churches all across the land are ordaining female “clergy” in direct violation of the Word of God; it’s why so many so-called “conservatives” fall all over themselves to support “strong women” politicians like Joni Ernst (R-IA) because they brag about castrating pigs.
Anywise, we had an interesting discussion a couple of Sunday’s ago about the reasoning behind feminism. Why is it that feminists are the way they are, and do the things they do? Why is it that even supposedly “godly, Christian” women get swept up into unbiblical and unnatural notion about gender roles that seek to undermine the principles of male leadership and headship that God instituted?
Ultimately, what it boils down to is that feminists suffer from an extreme inferiority complex, and manifest a tremendous amount of dissatisfaction with themselves. They are, simply put, women who don’t want to be women. Feminists constantly demonise women who follow traditional gender roles as “not real women,” yet they themselves do everything they can to escape the fact that they are women. The term “feminist” is actually something of a misnomer because feminists are not really interested in advancing their own gender, but in replacing it with the masculine.
Think about it. What is the metric by which feminists always judge themselves and by which they measure “progress”? Isn’t it by how closely they approximate men? Do they get paid as much as a man? Have they broken into some field of employment traditionally held by men? Can they get drafted just like men can? Without the yardstick of masculinity, these women have no idea what they are or what they want to be.
This is not the behaviour of people who are really “strong and independent.” These are the actions of those who measuring themselves against others, see themselves as being inferior. Feminism plays from a weak hand. And the only way they can “beat” men is to get the men to emasculate themselves to the point where they’re no longer really men.
This, in a nutshell, is the whole point to the overturning of traditional gender roles in Western society – women stop being the women that they secretly hate themselves for being, while conniving many of the men to stop being the men that the feminist women really want to be. It’s confusion – and God is most definitely not the author of it.
In short, feminists envy masculinity. It’s something they want to possess, but never can. All they can do is to fashion themselves into a cheap substitute, while removing it from those who ought to possess it by right and by nature.
This fundamental disconnect stems from the failure of feminists to understand the difference between roles and intrinsic worth. Roles are the functions which we perform, and which ideally are supposed to lead to a successfully functioning society when they are performed by those to whom they have been given. God has ordained certain roles for men and certain roles for women. Even if one does not wish to accept this, mere biology ought to provide a clue as to these roles as well. Men are stronger, faster, more aggressive and risk-taking; women are more nurturing, more intuitive, more emotionally intelligent. Men are suited to labouring outside the home to be the breadwinner in a family. Women are more suited to raising the children and guiding the day-to-day administration of the home. Men are suited to wielding authority, women are more suited to following leadership. There is nothing wrong with any of this. It is all natural, it is as it should be. There are roles that each gender play which provide for the benefit of the family unit and society as a whole. It is when the genders refuse to carry out their own roles and instead try to take on that of the other – as masculinising feminists and effeminate men do – that we see the destruction of both institutions, which we clearly observe happening today.
What the feminists do not savvy is that the mere functions of these roles, in and of themselves, do not create intrinsic worth. In other words, intrinsic worth is not had merely because somebody, anybody, goes out and gets a job as a high-powered lawyer or whatever. Rather, intrinsic worth exists when those who fulfill their proper roles – those to which they are suited by God and nature – do so. One would not value it very highly if a fireman started trying to do peoples’ taxes instead of putting out fires, or if a chemist started bumbling around trying to make stock trades instead of performing experiments in a laboratory. These would each be performing low-value work because it is not what their training has prepared them to do. Likewise, when women seek to perform the roles that men ought to be doing, and vice versa, it is low value because while they may be able to demonstrate varied levels of technical proficiency, they are nevertheless harming our culture and civilisation as a whole.
Regardless of what feminists think, the highest intrinsic value work that women can truly perform is to bear and raise children and to guide the household on a day by day basis. It is THIS which lends to the passing on of our faith to the next generation, provides stability to society, creates the environment in which children are properly raised to be good citizens, and which imparts our traditions and culture to those coming after us. This nurturing role is the perfect counterpoise to the authority and risk-taking of the husband and father who goes outside the home to wrestle a living from the world around him. If a woman won’t fulfill these roles even though she would otherwise be able to do so, then she is eliminating her own worth, just as is a “man” who refuses to protect, defend, and lead his family, and who refuses to play the man for his culture and society as a whole.

Siri has finally been ported over to older iOS devices and, unlike last time, there is a way you can install it right now. If you’re interested, you can follow the guide after the jump!
Siri was revealed at Apple’s Let’s Talk iPhone event on October 14th as a voice-based personal assistant which, well, allowed you to use your iPhone’s many “smart” features through voice alone. It was included as one of the three main features of the new iPhone 4S (the other being a best-in-class dual-core chip and advanced optics) and is exclusive to it, meaning folks on older iOS devices were left to set reminders and alarms, call their contacts and send emails through (shudder) touch input.
Well, there is now a way to install Siri, at least its GUI, on older iOS devices such as the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G.
Yes, if you read the above sentence carefully, you’ll find that this port is GUI only so you will not be able to use voice commands like you would on an iPhone 4S. This is because of the fact that Apple’s servers, which process your Siri voice input data, do not accept data for Siri from an iOS device unless it is from an iPhone 4S.
What’s the point, then? Well, that’s a very good question and our answer may not satisfy you: the fact that the community has got the GUI working has us hoping that they just might find a way to trick Apple’s servers into receiving data from older devices. This guide is strictly just for those of you who want to try the graphical elements of Siri on older iOS devices without actual functionality, or in others words, just for showing it off as it has no other practical use.
How To Install Siri GUI On iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G
DISCLAIMER: We here at Redmond Pie have not tested this method and do not recommend installing Siri on your iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4G. The following instructions are shared for educational purposes only. Proceed at your own risk.
Step 1: Jailbreak your iPhone/iPod touch on iOS 5 using Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze.
Step 2: Download files required for the Siri port to iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G. You will have to find these files yourself as we wont be able to share these files with you.
Step 3: Using a file explorer for your iOS device, copy over the AssistantServices.framework folder you downloaded in Step 2 to Root > System > Library > PrivateFrameworks after plugging in your device to your computer via USB.
Step 4: Transfer all files from the Springboard folder in Step 2 to Root > System > Library > CoreServices > Springboard.app on your iOS device.
Step 5: Using iFile (you can get it from Cydia), open the .plist file for your iOS device from System > Library > CoreServices > Springboard.app. It will be named N81AP for iPod touch 4G and N9x for iPhone 4 (where x may be 0, 1, 2).
Step 6: Add a new property list named assistant to the .plist file and set its class as Boolean while setting its value as YES.
Step 7: Add the following to the .plist file:
<key>assistant</key><true/>
Step 8: Respring your iOS device.
If you followed the steps correctly, Siri’s GUI will be installed on your iOS device. You can hold the Home button to activate it. Once again, we remind you that voice commands don’t work yet since Apple’s servers don’t accept voice command input from iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4G.

At least eight top Chinese officials are linked to offshore deals through associates, an investigation into 11 million leaked documents from one of the world’s largest offshore law firms shows. They include the brother-in-law of Chinese president Xi Jinping, whose offshore firms went dormant before Xi came into power, and the granddaughter of a former top leader who bought an offshore company for just $1.
Family members of at least eight current or former members of Communist Party’s Politburo Standing Committee, the country’s supreme governing body, hold offshore companies arranged through Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) reported.
The China investigation is part of a leak called “the Panama Papers,” which reveal the hidden financial dealings of over 100 politicians and public officials around the world. Current or former heads of state in the leak include prime ministers of Iceland and Pakistan, the president of Ukraine, and the king of Saudi Arabia. A suspected $2 billion money laundering ring has links to Russia’s president Vladimir Putin, the Guardian reported as part of the leak.
Hundreds of journalists from 78 countries spent a year analyzing and verifying nearly 40 years of records, and published the first installment of their investigation on April 3. The records were given by an anonymous source to German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, and were shared by ICIJ.
It is not illegal to own an offshore company, but these entities are often used for illegal activities, including money laundering and tax evasion.
So far ICIJ has revealed four names of Chinese officials. They include president Xi Jinping, former premier Li Peng, the former fourth-ranking Politburo Standing Committee member Jia Qinglin, who have links to offshore companies through their relatives. The fourth, imprisoned former Chongqing city Party chief Bo Xilai, is involved via a business partner of his wife.
President Xi Jinping: Deng Jiagui, the brother-in-law of Xi Jinping, became the sole director and shareholder of two British Virgin Islands-based shell companies in September 2009, when Xi was serving as one member of the nine-man Politburo Standing Committee. By the time Xi was named the Party chief in 2012 and China’s president in 2013, Deng’s two companies were dormant, the leak shows. A 2012 Bloomberg report found Deng and his wife Qi Qiaoqiao, Xi’s older sister, owned hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate, shares, and other assets, although it did not mention off shore companies.

Former premier Li Peng : Li Peng served as the Chinese premier from 1987 to 1998. During his tenure his second child and only daughter, Li Xiaolin, and her husband Liu Zhiyuan, were the beneficial owners of a Lichtenstein foundation that was the sole shareholder of a BVI company, the leak shows. The leak also shows Li Xiaolin is referred as “Xiaolin Liu-Li” in her Hong Kong passport and a cover letter, “which may have made linking her to Li Peng more difficult.” Dubbed China’s “Power Queen,” Li was the vice president of state-owned China Power Investment Corp., and served as a delegate to China’s top political advisory body.

Former Politburo member Jia Qinglin : Jia Qinglin was China’s fourth-ranking official on the ruling Politburo Standing Committee between 2002 and 2012. In December 2010, his granddaughter Jasmine Li, then a teenager studying at Stanford University, became the sole shareholder of Harvest Sun Trading Ltd., a company that was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in 2009. Harvest Sun was transferred for $1 to Li by Zhang Yuping, the founder of China’s leading luxury watch distributor Hengdeli. Through Harvest Sun and another BVI company, Li owned two Beijing-registered consulting firms, without disclosing her ownership.

Former Chongqing Party chief Bo Xilai: French architect Patrick Henri Devillers was a business partner of Gu Kailai, wife of fallen high-flyer Bo Xilai, the Chongqing party chief from 2007 to 2012. Bo is now serving a life sentence for corruption charges. In September 2000, Devillers helped Bo’s wife Gu incorporate a property company in the British Virgin Islands, the leak shows. Devillers held shares in the BVI company on behalf of Gu, and court records show the company was used to secretly buy a $3.2 million villa in southern France, with money from a bribe. Devillers’ testimony was used in Bo’s 2013 corruption trial.
Xi initiated a sweeping anti-graft campaign since he took control in November 2012. The corruption crackdown has covered each province of the nation, with high-ranking officials being targeted including former president’s top aide Ling Jihua, and ex-security czar Zhou Yongkang. By going after Zhou, Xi broke an unwritten rule that a former member of the Politburo Standing Committee should not be investigated.
That obviously hasn’t stopped the country’s most powerful from moving money off shore though secretive companies. A 2014 ICIJ investigation also revealed that relatives of current or former Chinese leaders were using offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands. Those include Deng Jiagui, Li Xiaolin, and relatives of late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, former president Hu Jintao, and former premier Wen Jiabao.

With just a few days until Nuggets’ training camp, Will Barton looked into the future and projected. He looks around the Pepsi Center practice gym these days and sees enough good players to make the upcoming Nuggets season a good one. He knows he is one of those players.
He knows he has to make it happen for the team to make it happen.
“I don’t want to be stagnant,” Barton said. “I don’t want to be ‘this is who I am.’ ”
The Nuggets are approaching a turning point in their rebuild. They have three players who were on all-rookie teams in the last two seasons (Emmanuel Mudiay, Nikola Jokic and Jusuf Nurkic); Barton, who finished third in the most improved award; and a veteran, Danilo Gallinari, who is expected to make a run at an all-star spot this season.
But this is about youth.
The youth must grow for the Nuggets to grow. Flashes shown then are expected to become consistent occurrences now. It’s the only way for the Nuggets, who won 33 games a season ago, to jump-start the win total and possibly make a run at a playoff spot. There are six players 22 years old or younger on the roster and youth has a tough time winning in the NBA.
“We can be good,” Barton said. “We’ve got some good individual talent, some good pieces. Now it’s all about meshing, coming together and finding the right way to play for each other.”
The Nuggets are banking on big improvement to get them where they want to go. The coaching staff and team executives were very happy with the work players put in this summer. Among that group Barton and Gary Harris stood out the most.
According to Hoopsstats.com, the Nuggets had three players among the top 25 most improved last season, ranked by efficiency, an algorithm that crunches a ton of statistical data to determine the players with the most impact on the court.
Harris was fifth on the list. And Harris passed the eye test along with the analytics test, playing 19 more minutes per game than his rookie season and averaging 8.8 more points per game than he did in 2014-15.
Harris was up in every category. And there is an expectation of another jump this season after a summer of work so productive he’s already being raved about within the walls of the Pepsi Center.
“I’ve just been living in the gym, getting better,” he said. “I’m not satisfied about last season.”
Because Harris was already playing starter’s minutes, a simple bump in playing time isn’t going help his stats. But shooting more will. Harris was arguably the Nuggets’ most dependable shooter last season with averages of 46.9 percent from the field, including 35.4 percent from the 3-point line.
But Harris took just 10.1 shots per game. That turned into an average of 12.2 points in 76 games. If he averages the same percentages but takes five more shots, he’d average 16.1 points per game.
And 16.1 points per game would put Harris right on the cusp of being among the top-10 shooting guards in scoring. It would also boost him to the second-leading scorer for the Nuggets.
“I feel like toward the end of the season last season I really started to make some strides,” Harris said. “My confidence was growing. Just want to use that and keep taking even more strides this season.”
Barton, meanwhile, is in constant search of a chip on his shoulder to lean on. Years past it has been easier to find. Now he’s being praised after a breakout season that landed him in the thick of the conversation for postseason awards, that had other teams offering first-round picks to nab him, and that had opponents highlighting him on scouting reports as a player to stop.
“People know I can play,” Barton said. “They won’t be surprised.”
The entire experience helped, Barton said. He played more minutes last season than he had played in his entire career combined to that point. His body needed to adjust. Barton needed to learn to navigate the many ups and downs of an NBA season. He is one of the Nuggets’ most honest players when it comes to outwardly assessing his game.
“I evaluate myself before I start touching a basketball in the summer,” Barton said. “I break down all of my film, looking at all of my offensive clips, all of my defensive clips, really trying to dissect what I can improve and things I did wrong, come up with a game plan and then attack the summer.”
Barton and Harris are part of a youthful core that must have considerable contributions from Jokic and Mudiay. Both were part of all-rookie teams last season. Mudiay participated on the USA Select team that practiced against the gold medal-winning U.S. Men’s National Team before the Olympics. Jokic went on to make headlines in the summer, and become more of household name among NBA fans, helping Serbia to the silver medal in the Olympics. That included an eye-opening performance against the United States.
“He gave the U.S. almost 30 points right?” Barton said. “Now they’re saying, ‘He can be this, he can be that.’ ”
The duo is the Nuggets’ future. They can speed up the process by increasing efficiency, production and consistency for a team looking for young players to step up.
“Things really slowed down for me late in the season,” Mudiay said. “I’m just trying to build off of that, keep my confidence up. Especially with the young team that we have, I’m not trying to put too much pressure on myself. Just go out there and have fun.” | positive |

Update on this post.
Yesterday I posted an image that showed my husband, Sam being compared to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by his coworker on the Cheezburger website. His coworker had posted the link to Sam’s FB wall and that’s how we were made aware of this “joke.”
I posted the screencap of Sam’s FB wall to vent my frustration, anger and rage about the situation. I did not see any humor in this. I still don’t. Sam’s coworker, who he considered a workplace friend, asked him for a picture. At the time, the request seemed innocuous, and Sam and his coworker had always gotten along and interacted in a friendly and positive manner.
The posting of this photo, on the internet, and in the manner in which it was posted, alongside Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on a hugely trafficked internet website is completely and utterly unacceptable. It is a violation of Sam’s privacy, his right to be free from harassment in his workplace, and his right to not be compared to an evil megalomaniac because he has a beard and brown skin. The person who posted it has no excuse. He is 27 years old. He is a college graduate. He should know better. However, all that he shown to me is that he is at best, an idiot, and at worst, a racist.
Sam had to go to work yesterday afternoon. At the time, this incident was very fresh, and he had not yet processed what he was going to do about it. Sam was worried that by complaining about the post to his HR department, he would cause someone to lose his job in this economy. He was also worried that his fellow coworkers would not understand “what the big deal” was. He was afraid that they would think he was overreacting. Sam gave more fucks about this guy’s situation than this guy deserves.
By the time Sam got to work, many more of our friends had posted responses on the FB link and the person who posted it came over to speak to him. He said, “I am sorry, dude. I didn’t think people were going to react that way." Nice fucking apology asshole. More people responded through the night, and by 11PM, the offensive FB post had been deleted by the original poster. However, the original post remains on the Cheezburger website. This is fucking unacceptable.
As of right now, Sam is still deciding what he will do. I have screencapped everything with all names visible in the event that we need them. If it were up to me, Sam’s coworker would be fucking fired.
I finish with this: I do not understand what it feels like to be a minority/have non-white skin in this country. I do not. I never will. I have a slight inkling of what it might be like because Sam is an Indian Sikh. I have watched him handle casual, overt and scary racism with dignity for the last 7 years. He has been called a terrorist more times than I can count. We have had bottles thrown at us while the throwers screamed “Al Qaeda.” Skinheads have menaced us and called me an inferior white woman. When we fly somewhere I take all of his carry-on items in my bag and he walks through in a white t-shirt, jeans and sneakers, and is still selected for a search 9 times out of 10. I have never been searched. People have refused open seats next to him on a crowded T train during rush hour. Just being with him has informed me of my privilege more than any article I could ever read on the internet. This latest incident has only served as a reminder of the fact that these incidents will not cease. They might be less scary in the sense that we aren’t being physically threatened, but this situation feels like more of a violation because it is on the internet, and it can’t be erased.

Snoop Dogg is throwing down in a rap duo with Bubbles of the Trailer Park Boys in Bible Hill, N.S., on Thursday.
Snoop Dogg with his 'cousin' Bubbles on set Thursday. (CBC)
While Bubbles (aka actor Mike Smith) is best known for dropping rhymes about cats, and Snoop about gin and juice, the two apparently found enough common ground to collaborate during filming for an upcoming season of the TV show.
In fact, in the fictional world of the Trailer Park Boys, the two are cousins.
"I'm having fun," Snoop Dogg said. "This is one of the greatest shows ever created. It's full of fun. It fits me to a T."
The rapper has been in town for a few days and said he's enjoying Bible Hill and nearby Truro.
"Oh I love it, every moment," he said.
He shared a photo of himself reading the script.
Despite being family, Bubbles seemed a little star-struck.
"I might be throwing down with Snoop Dogg tonight. Don't want to brag or anything," he said, staying in character.
"It's just unbelievable. Nothing like this ever happens in Sunnyvale. Tom Arnold, Doug Benson, Jimmy Kimmel is going to be on. It's crazy."
Yup: for its tenth season, Trailer Park Boys has booked special guest appearances from actor Tom Arnold, comic Doug Benson and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
Fans of the show and the rap legend turned up hoping to catch a glimpse. Ben Baker decked himself out head-to-toe in a marijuana-inspired outfit.
"I'm seeing Snoop Dogg. I've got to look the part," he said.
Tom Arnold a 'super fan' of the show
CBC couldn't film the actual shoot, lest we let loose the plot, but we can tell you Snoop Dogg's scene involves drugs, alcohol, and a bar. They're shooting in a Legion hall tonight.
Dozens of people gathered along the street watching the action on set, a few even setting up lawn chairs outside Snoop's trailer.
Arnold, who once acted on the 1990s sitcom Roseanne, said it was a big day for him.
"I'm a super fan of this show. I've been a fan for ten years. People like Jimmy Kimmel watch the show. Snoop is a super fan too. He's a friend of mine. To meet here in Sunnyvale," he said.
"Honestly I've been in 130 movies and this is one of the biggest things I've ever done. For sure. Maybe the best thing I've ever done."
Arnold posted a short video of the cars used in the scene, and caught Snoop Dogg emerging in a cloud of smoke from one of the vehicles. | positive |

Update: Salman Khan deleted the offending tweets, and wrote on Twitter: " had tweeted that Tiger Memon should hang for his crimes & I stand by it. What I also said is that Yakub Memon should not hang for him. I have not said or implied that Yakub Memon is innocent. I have complete faith in judicial system of our country. Many lives were lost in the Mumbai blasts. And I have repeatedly said the loss of one innocent life is equal to the loss of all humanity. My dad called & said I should retract my tweets as they have the potential to create misunderstanding. I hereby retract them. I would like to unconditionally apologise for any misunderstanding I may have created unintentionally. I also strongly condemn those who are claiming my tweets are anti-religious. I have always said I respect all faiths and I always will.”
Earlier in the day, veteran Bollywood scriptwriter lashed out at his son Salman Khan for supporting 1993 Mumbai serial blasts accused Yakub Memon and said his tweets about the issue shouldn't be taken seriously.
Salim was quoted by ibnlive.com saying: "Whatever Salman has written is ridiculous and meaningless. Salman is ignorant of the issue and people should not take him seriously."
Salim also spoke out against capital punishment for Yakub Memon, saying: “Yakub should be kept in jail rather be hanged. Keeping him alive is a bigger punishment."
Salman Khan had set the cat among the pigeons with a series of tweets defending Yakub and asking his brother Tiger to be hanged instead. He had tweeted: “Hang Tiger. Brother is being hanged for Tiger. Arre where is Tiger? Get Tiger hang him. Parade him not his brother."
Get tiger hang him. Parade him not his brother — Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) July 25, 2015
The Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor, who is currently out on bail took on the Yakub Memon issue with his tweets. The Supreme Court had earlier dismissed Yakub's curative petition against the death sentence and he will be hanged on July 30. The actor went as far as to call Yakub an innocent man, asked authorities to find Tiger and even asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to send Tiger if he was in Pakistan.
Sharif Saab ek darkhaust hai k agar yeh aap k mulkh mein hai toh plz iktila kar deejiyeh. — Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) July 25, 2015
Others also reacted to Salman Khan's tweet while speaking to ANI. Shatrughan Sinha said: “Agar usne aisa kaha hai to aap uski bhaavnayon ko samajhiye.” (If he has said this, you should understand his emotions).
Actor Raza Murad, said: “That's Salman's personal opinion and he has a right to express his opinion as a citizen of a democratic nation.” Senior lawyer KTS Tulsi also said that Yakub's hanging should be reconsidered since he had rendered valuable help in collecting evidence against Pakistan.
Meanwhile, lawyer Abha Singh questioned Salman's statement: “Salman himself is a convict who has been given a punishment of 5 years, still he has the audacity to say Yakub is innocent. Is he trying to question judicial system of country? His statement is very improper & against rule of law.” Here are Salman Khan's tweets that started the entire debate.

Excess consumption is practically an American religion. But as anyone with a filled-to-the-gills closet knows, the things we accumulate can become oppressive. With all this stuff piling up and never quite getting put away, we're no longer huddled masses yearning to breathe free; we're huddled masses yearning to free up space on a countertop. Which is why people are so intrigued by the 100 Thing Challenge, a grass-roots movement in which otherwise seemingly normal folks are pledging to whittle down their possessions to a mere 100 items.
"Stuff starts to overwhelm you," says Dave Bruno, 37, an online entrepreneur who looked around his San Diego home one day last summer and realized how much his family's belongings were weighing him down. Thus began what he calls the 100 Thing Challenge. (Apparently, Bruno is so averse to excess he can't refer to 100 things in the plural.) In a country where clutter has given rise not only to professional organizers but also to professional organizers with their own reality series (TLC's Clean Sweep), Bruno's online musings about his slow and steady purge have developed something of a cult following online, inspiring others to launch their own countdown to clutter-free living. (See how Americans spend now.)
Bruno keeps a running tally on his blog, guynameddave.com, of what he has decided to hold on to and what he is preparing to sell or donate. For instance, as of early June, he was down to five dress shirts and one necktie but uncertain about parting with one of his three pairs of jeans. "Are two pairs of jeans enough?!," he asked in a recent posting.
That's not the only dilemma faced by this new wave of goal-oriented minimalists. One of the trickier questions is what counts as an item. Bruno considers a pair of shoes to be a single entity, which seems sensible but still pretty hard-core when you're trying to jettison all but 100 personal possessions. Cait Simmons, 27, a waitress in Chicago, takes a different approach. Although she has pared down her footwear collection from 35 to 20 pairs, she says, "All my shoes count as one item."
Daniel Perkins, 34, a graphic designer in New York City, isn't working toward a quantitative goal but says he and his wife have instead pledged "within a year to have only things that we use daily in our apartment." Ten years ago, "I wore hats, and we made crepes every Sunday," he says. "But that's not who we are anymore." So he sold the fedoras and crepe pans on eBay.
But what about Christmas ornaments? Family heirlooms? Those skinny jeans you hope to but will probably never wear again? "It's a very emotional process," says professional organizer Julie Morgenstern. Her new book, When Organizing Isn't Enough: SHED Your Stuff, Change Your Life, lays out a plan for clearing out both physical and sentimental clutter. "Often these are things that represent who you once were," she says. "But once their purpose is over, they just keep you stagnant." SHED, by the way, is an acronym for "separate the treasures, heave the trash, embrace your identity from within and drive yourself forward." Which is a handy little guide to Dumpstering your way into a state of Zen. (See how extreme coupons get groceries for almost free.)
"It comes down to the products vs. the promise," says organizational consultant Peter Walsh, who characterizes himself as part contractor, part therapist. "It's not necessarily about the new pots and pans but the idea of the cozy family meals that they will provide. People are finding that their homes are full of stuff, but their lives are littered with unfulfilled promises."
Walsh isn't surprised that decluttering is so popular these days. Between worrying about gas prices and the faltering economy, people's first reaction, he says, "is often, 'I need to get some control over my life, even if it is just a tidy kitchen counter.'"
When Walsh helped homeowners purge their belongings on Clean Sweep, the weekend-long project would end with a huge garage sale. Off camera, good riddance is usually a good bit slower. Simmons has given herself a six-month deadline to winnow her stuff to 100 things or at least 100 categories of things. (Hey, I'm not knocking her. I've got more than 100 things in my purse.)
Bruno hasn't set an end date for his purging project, which so far has claimed, among other items, his guitar, an iPod and a baseball jersey signed by Pete Rose. He's ignoring all the stuff he shares with his family, things like the house and the car and the pantry. Yet he's still not sure he can let go of all but 100 of his own possessions. Right now he's down to one nice pen, one mechanical pencil and one spork, although he counts that last utensil as part of a camping cooking set that includes two pots. And his current tally of 97 items doesn't include his toy trains, woodworking tools and a few other things he says he still needs to think through. But his daughters' doll collection remains off limits. Turns out that clearing the clutter makes you focus on what really counts.

The CEO of Whole Foods said in 2009 that the Affordable Care Act was tantamount to “socialism,” but now he’s changing his tune: It’s not socialism anymore. According to him, it’s “fascism.”
That’s what John Mackey told National Public Radio (NPR) on Wednesday, in an interview aired on “Morning Edition,” seeming not to mind that the two forms of government are largely incompatible and ill-suited for framing the U.S. health care laws.
Mackey had a different take in 2009, when he wrote in The Wall Street Journal that the Affordable Care Act is precisely the kind of “socialism” British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher warned about.
“Technically speaking, it’s more like fascism,” he told NPR on Wednesday. “Socialism is where the government owns the means of production. In fascism, the government doesn’t own the means of production, but they do control it — and that’s what’s happening with our health care programs and these reforms.”
On the flip-side, Mackey added that he’s supportive of the Obama administration’s efforts to reform American’s diets, saying that most in the country “are addicted to sugar, and to fat and to salt.”
What he doesn’t mention is that fascism is also known as government by corporations, whereupon the poor and working classes have little to no social welfare programs and must depend upon the generosity of employers for life-saving medical care, among other basic needs. In a stroke of irony, that is precisely what Mackey was flacking in 2009 with his advocacy of high deductible health insurance policies that only cover catastrophic medical emergencies.
Of course, there is an argument to be made that the Affordable Care Act is a form of soft fascism in that it represents the government requiring citizens to buy a product offered by private industry — a point that was not lost on the president’s liberal critics. That product, however, is subsidized by the government for those who cannot afford it on their own, creating a balance that, while controversial, softens its front-end economic effects on purchasers.
Because it’s a hybrid policy that mandates a purchase while helping citizens afford the product, the terms fascism and socialism are quite simply ill-suited to describing the Affordable Care Act, no matter how much the law’s critics try to mislabel it.

Black Swan Capital Europe | Are you saving enough for your retirement? '; © Black Swan Capital Limited (+31) 20 209 1568 Book an Appointment Client Portal Home About Us Team Why us Essential Guides Videos News Contact Us News Are you saving enough for your retirement? June 3, 2022 by Black Swan Capital Europe in News Figures suggest that workers nearing retirement could find they’re facing a significant income shortfall later in life. Understanding how your pension savings will add up before you retire is crucial for creating long-term financial wellbeing. According to a report from the British institution the Social Market Foundation, people approaching retirement in the UK are facing a pension shortfall of almost £250,000 if they want to achieve their desired income. In our experience at Black Swan Capital, this is exacerbated for expats in Europe. One of the reasons for the gap is that many 50- to 64-year-olds don’t know how much they need in their pension. Only a third of those nearing retirement have an accurate idea of how much they need to save to reach their goal income. As a result, two-thirds could face an unexpected gap when they reach retirement or may not notice the gap until they’ve already started depleting their savings. Not recognising a pension gap until you retire could mean you need to scale back the lifestyle you’ve been looking forward to and working towards. If you don’t realise there’s a gap and start withdrawing a higher income than is sustainable, you could run out of money. It can be worse for expats One of the issues expats and internationally mobile professionals face is they are more exposed to pension gaps. This occurs when you move from one country to another and have periods of time when you are not receiving and accruing pension contributions. A decade of no pension additions can have a profound impact on your quality of life when it comes to retirement. The challenge of aligning your savings with your income Retirement and pension systems can be widely different across countries. They can differ in how the pension assets are managed, when you can access them, and how you can access your pension. Personal and employer pension assets in some countries allow you access to some of the capital, whereas in other countries, like Germany and the Netherlands, you are much more restricted and may be limited to only purchasing an annuity income stream. A key challenge then in managing your various pensions across the world, is translating how your contributions will result in an income that meets your expectations. It’s more important than ever that workers understand how their contributions are adding up and what it will mean for their retirement. 42% of people nearing retirement have no idea what income they will need. To be able to understand whether you’re saving enough through a pension, or through your own personal investment plan, you need to understand what income you want in retirement. Despite this, 42% of people nearing retirement said they have no idea what income they will need to achieve their goals. Many people find that their essential expenses are lower in retirement than when they were working. This may be because you may have paid off your mortgage or have fewer travel expenses. A rule of thumb is that you need two-thirds of your current income to maintain your lifestyle in retirement. This is a good starting place but there can be huge differences in what income retirees need. It will depend on your personal circumstances, so it’s important to take a closer look at your expenses. There are two other important factors to consider: Inflation: The cost of living creeps up each year, and 25 years into your retirement, it may well cost twice as much to live as when you first stopped working. You need to make sure your retirement plan can account for this. Aged care costs: In your later retirement years you may find your regular costs increase in line with medical and other care needs. Having sufficient retirement reserves can be essential for maintaining quality of life and care. As well as regular discretionary spending, you may have larger one-off costs that you need to factor in, such as updating your home or an extended holiday. What is “enough” when you’re saving for your retirement? As an expat, it is important to build flexibility into your plan to create an income that suits your needs and the lifestyle you want when you retire. Yet, 16% of people don’t understand what their options are, while 40% aren’t confident about securing the income they need. This is something financial planning can help you with. We’ll work with you to understand how much you need to save into your pension to retire when you’re ready and deliver an income for the rest of your life. It means you can look forward to retirement knowing that you’re taking the necessary steps now. We’ll also help you understand what your options are. From a flexible income to a guaranteed income through an annuity, the decisions you make about how to access your pension should complement your wider plans and priorities. The sooner you review your retirement planning needs, the more likely you are to reach your goals and have an opportunity to close gaps if you find them.

Singapore team in Super Rugby 'a joke'
ESPN Staff
Singapore recently staged the inaugural World Club 10s in the National Stadium at the Singapore Sports Hub © Getty Images Enlarge
SANZAR will "lose all credibility" if officials expand Super Rugby into Singapore ahead of Japan, according to Japan's coach Eddie Jones.
The new competition Expanded competition to 18 teams from 2016 - South Africa 6th, Argentina, plus new team
Shorter competition - from 21 weeks to 20 weeks
All teams play one less match in a regular season - from 16 matches to 15
Four conferences playing in two regional Groups - South Africa and Australasia
The Australasia Group made up of two conferences - Australia (five teams) and New Zealand (five teams)
South African Group made up of two conferences - South Africa 1 (three teams plus one from Argentina), and South Africa 2 (three teams plus the 18th team)
Each team plays 15 regular season matches - eight home/seven away or vice versa every second year
A total 135 regular season matches and seven Finals Series matches (compared to 120 and five)
Jones, a former Brumbies and Australia coach, wrote in his weekly column for News Corp that it was "a joke that Singapore is even being considered as the base for the 18th Super Rugby team when Japan ticks all the right boxes for forward thinking".
New Zealand Rugby chairman Brent Impey confirmed this week that Singapore and Japan were the leading candidates to host the 18th Super Rugby franchise when the competition expands in 2016, after New Zealand sources had told ESPNScrum in May "within SANZAR the push for a Super Rugby team in Singapore is intensifying".
"There are a couple of options which have already come out of Asia," Impey said this week. "That gives us confidence that we'll be able to see the 18th team not only meet the financial and commercial qualifications but the playing strength as well."
South African officials are widely understood to prefer Singapore to Japan as a base for the 18th team, due to the reduced travel time to and from the Republic as the expansion franchise will play in the proposed South African group along with a new team from Argentina.
"If travel is the deciding factor then Dubai should be selected and rugby ethos and history ignored altogether," Jones wrote for News Corp. "Enough of that nonsense. Rugby has had a footprint in Japan since 1899 … and there are more than 100,000 players and 3500 clubs in the country. Japan has become the first Asian nation to reach 10th in the world and the Rugby World Cup is heading here in 2019."
Jones, a forthright thinker of all facets of rugby, said that "any smart organisation should see the value of promoting Japan as an expansion team in Super 18". He noted that a Singapore-based team would play in a spectacular new stadium but said that every player "would be an import" because "Japan recently beat Sri Lanka 132-10 and Singapore are ranked 10 spots lower than [Sri Lanka] at No.58 in the world".
The proposed new Super Rugby structure will have 135 regular-season games, compared with 120, and each side will play 15 games compared with the current tally of 16. The play-off structure will see eight teams through to the quarter-finals with five teams qualifying from the Australasian group and three from the South Africa pool.

The state has used managed-care plans to hold down the costs of subsidies: per capita payments for low-income enrollees rose an average of 5 percent a year over the first four years, well below recent 7 percent annual increases in per capita health care spending in Massachusetts. The payments are unlikely to rise at all in the current year, in large part because of a competitive bidding process and pressure from the officials supervising it.

The average premiums paid by individuals who purchase unsubsidized insurance have dropped substantially, 20 percent to 40 percent by some estimates, mostly because reform has brought in younger and healthier people to offset the cost of covering the older and sicker.
Residents of Massachusetts have clearly chosen to tune out the national chatter and look at their own experience. Most polls show that the state reforms are strongly supported by the public, business leaders and doctors, often by 60 percent or more.
There are still real problems that need to be solved. Small businesses are complaining that their premiums are rising faster than before, although how much of that is because of the reform law is not clear.

Insuring more people was expected to reduce the use of emergency rooms for routine care but has not done so to any significant degree. There is no evidence to support critics’ claims that the addition of 400,000 people to the insurance rolls is the cause of long waits to see a doctor.
What reform has not done is slow the rise in health care costs. Massachusetts put off addressing that until it had achieved universal coverage. No one should minimize the challenge, but serious efforts are now being weighed.
Gov. Deval Patrick has submitted a bill to the Legislature that would enhance the state’s powers to reject premium increases, allow the state to limit what hospitals and other providers can be paid by insurers, and promote alternatives to costly fee-for-service medicine. The governor’s goal is to make efficient integrated care organizations the predominant health care provider by 2015. | positive |

But what's been largely overlooked is Paul's candidacy as a reflection of a powerful lingering dissatisfaction with the Arizona senator among the party's most conservative conservatives. As anticipated in late March in The Ticket , that situation could be exacerbated by today's expected announcement from former Republican Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia for the Libertarian Party's presidential nod, a slot held by Paul in 1988.
Paul's presidential candidacy has been correctly dismissed all along in terms of winning the nomination. He was even excluded as irrelevant by Fox News from a nationally-televised GOP debate in New Hampshire.
But in the m eantime, quietly, largely under the radar of most people, the forces of Rep. Ron Paul have been organizing across the country to stage an embarrassing public revolt against Sen. John McCain when Republicans gather for their national convention in Minnesota at the beginning of September.
Virtually all the nation's political attention in recent weeks has focused on the compelling state-by-state presidential nomination struggle between two Democrats and the potential for party-splitting strife over there.
... potentially damaging internal splits that could cripple their chances for victory in a narrow vote on Nov. 4.
Just take a look at recent Republican primary results, largely overlooked because McCain locked up the necessary 1,191 delegates long ago. In Indiana, McCain got 77% of the recent Republican primary vote, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, who've each long ago quit and endorsed McCain, still got 10% and 5% respectively, while Paul took 8%.
On the same May 6 in North Carolina, McCain received less than three-quarters of Republican votes (74%), while Huckabee got 12%, Paul 7% and Alan Keyes and No Preference took a total of 7%.
Pennsylvania was even slightly worse for the GOP's presumptive nominee, who got only 73% to a combined 27% for Paul (16%) and Huckabee (11%).
As Politico.com's Jonathan Martin noted recently, at least some of these results are temporary protest votes in meaningless primaries built on lingering affection for Huckabee and suspicion of McCain.
Given the long-since settled GOP race, thousands of other Republicans in these states, who might have put up with a McCain vote, crossed over to vote in the more exciting Democratic primaries, on their own for Sen. Barack Obama or at the urging of talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, who sought to support Hillary Clinton and prolong Democratic bloodletting.
According to a recent Boston Globe tally, Paul has a grand total of 19 Republican delegates to Romney's 260, Huckabee's 286 and McCain's 1,413.
In the last three months, Paul's forces, who donated $34.5 million to his White House effort and upward of a million total votes, have, as The Ticket has noted, been fighting a series of guerrilla battles with party establishment officials at county and state conventions from Washington and Missouri to Maine and Mississippi. Their goal: to take control of local committees, boost their delegate totals and influence platform debates.
Paul, for instance, favors a drastically reduced federal go vernment, abolishing the Federal Reserve, ending the Iraq war immediately and withdrawing U.S. troops from abroad.
They hope to demonstrate their disagreements with McCain vocally at the convention through platform fights and an attempt to get Paul a prominent speaking slot. Paul, who's running unopposed in his home Texas district for an 11th House term, still has some $5 million in war funds and has instructed his followers that their struggle is not about a single election, but a long-term revolution for control of the Republican Party.
So eager are they to follow their leader's words, that Paul's supporters have driven his new book, "The Revolution: A Manifesto," to the top of several bestseller lists.
While Paul has consistently refused a third-party bid, he has vowed not to endorse McCain, a refusal mirrored by hundreds of his supporters who have left comments on The Ticket in recent weeks. And, no doubt, they'll flock back here today to spread the gospel below.

As the Doom Continues to Loom November 18, 2013
Jack managed to find a clean shirt before he and Phillip entered the trendy coffee shop. Phillip had an extra trench coat in his truck. When Jack had looked surprised by this, his fellow Stalwart had just shrugged.
Feeling like a Viking at a quilt convention, Jack inwardly winced when most of the eyes in the joint took them in. College students mixed with artists and other fashion conscious youth. Everyone looked like they tried so hard to be an individual they had become part of a counter culture that made them all appear the same or at least belong together.
Jack caught an odd movement out of the corner of his eye. When he looked, he saw a security camera, mounted high on the wall, following them as they moved. Its lens glared like an angry red eye and Jack jerked when Phillip’s cell phone buzzed.
Gazing down, Phillip said. “I got a text. It tells me to go open the lap top… Oh there it is in the corner table.”
“Someone just left a lap top here?” Jack said, but then followed Phillip to the corner booth. His aching muscles were more than happy to take a load off and he collapsed in the booth so hard it creaked loud enough for two young college girls to glare at them before returning to what could have been their homework, but was probably Facebook or Twitter.
With a sigh, Phillip pushed the computer to the wall and then opened it so they could both see it. It flared to life humming for a moment before the image of an exploding fireball filled the screen. This transformed into a cyber image that was half machine and half metal. “Always a show off,” Phillip muttered.
“I heard that,” a young voice chirped from out of the device. Seconds later, a thin faced man with blinding red hair appeared on the scene. “So Phillip we met again.”
“In the loosest sense,” He said. “This is my friend Jack. He’s a man of Yig.”
“I could have guessed that, I think. Now what’s so urgent? I’m a very busy man and have a meeting with some folks from Germany in a few minutes.”
“Oh nothing important,” Phillip started, “it’s just that the Dark Alliance Xemmoni have given all Stalwarts until sunset to leave Boston. After that, they state we will be hunted down and destroyed.”
Jack held up one of his wounded arms. “And they even started a little early with us.”
Blaze looked more serious than they others they had told. “Well that isn’t good. I doubt they could find me, but even I like to head out of the town once in a while. It might become a little boring being the only Stalwart in Boston.”
“And dangerous,” Jack couldn’t help but add.
His eyes glanced as Jack, but then addressed Phillip. “So what is your plan? Do you intend to fight or flee?”
The two men looked at each other, but it was Jack who spoke first. “I think we need to fight. Besides the obvious reasons, we feel that Boston will be used for a tool to cause a greater evil.”
“And this evil will be?”
Phillip answered. “We aren’t sure about that one yet.”
“And you want me to help you in this vague notion of fighting back, against impossible numbers, I might add, because they could be planning something worse than just simply abusing Boston.”
“Either that or just give you a warning so you have the option to leave,” Phillip said, losing his energy.
“I take it no one else has joined your fellowship?” The tinny voice asked.
“Not yet,” Phillip answered, but we did warn Lanna and Felix.
“And Lanna thinks her looks will keep her safe and Felix’s believes his indiscriminate healing will protect him.”
“And I’m sure that your ability to hide will have you thinking that you are safe,” Jack had to add.
Phillip shot him an angry look, but it was Blaze that answered. “Yes, most likely it would. But I’m not one to ignore bad tiding and hope for the best.”
“So you will aid us?” Phillip asked.
“Yes not in the manner you might expect. Phillip take this lap top and continue to warn the others. There are some things I will look into. I’m a better net runner than fighter in most cases. Warn the others and I’ll be back in contact with you soon.”
The image disappeared.
“That was better than the last two,” Jack said
“Maybe, but now we need to find, oh wait, looks like one of them found us.”
To be continued next Monday

Trump Enterprises has released a portion of the advance planning for building a wall on the border between the United States and Mexico.
President Elect Trump commented, “This is a win-win for making America Great Again. The project will create thousands of jobs for factory workers and hard-working bricklayers. It’s a win-win. Win-win.”
Reading their announcement today, American consumers learned of a unique opportunity to be part of American history: they can purchase bricks that will be used to construct the barrier, while simultaneously creating a memorial to the country’s deceased and fallen.
The initial terms for purchase read as follows:
+ Regular bricks (southwestern clay and adobe): $35.00 each. + Premium bricks (southwestern clay and adobe, reinforced with bits and pieces of American steel and coal): $70.00 each.
Engraving (available for both of the above): $2.00 per letter, for a maximum of twenty-four letters (owing to limitations of size).
Purchasers may also want to acquire a detailed schematic (map) of the location of their engraved brick: $18.00.
Note restrictions:
The wall will be constructed once all bricks (approximately 55 million) have been sold.
No refunds under any circumstances (including incompletion of the wall).

For the second time, a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a Mooresville gun range is being called a suicide case.
The latest of the incidents happened at 8 p.m. Monday at the Point Blank Range on River Highway in Mooresville, reports the Statesville Record & Landmark.
One man was transported to an area hospital with a gunshot wound. The Record & Landmark reported Tuesday afternoon that the man had died of his injuries. His name was not released.

Mooresville police told the Mooresville Tribune what was initially reported to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound later proved to be an attempted suicide.
It is the second time a suicide case was investigated at the range. In 2011, Mooresville police found a 59-year-old man with a gunshot wound at the range. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Observer’s news partner WBTV reported the man shot himself intentionally.
Management issued a statement at the time of that shooting, noting the “organization is committed to the safety of our patrons, members and staff and has in place protocols designed to mitigate the potential for any intentional or accidental shooting.”
North Carolina has had several self-inflicted deaths at gun ranges in recent years, including one in October in New Hanover County involving a 26-year-old Marine sergeant and another in December 2015 involving a 25-year-old Wilmington woman who died while in a shooting range. | positive |
Isabelle Dinoire made medical history when she was given a new nose, chin and lips in 2005 after being mauled by a dog
A French woman who underwent the world’s first partial face transplant has died in hospital aged 49 after a long illness.
Isabelle Dinoire, who lost her mouth and nose after a dog bite, made medical history in 2005 when she was given a partial face transplant using tissue from a brain-dead woman in a 15-hour operation at Amiens Picardie hospital.
Dinoire died in April, Le Figaro revealed, which was confirmed by doctors in Amiens who said they had not previously announced her death to protect her family’s privacy.
Doctors did not reveal the exact cause of death. Le Figaro reported that Dinoire’s body had rejected the transplant last year “and she had lost part of the use of her lips”.
Transplant woman tells of her life with a new face Read more
The drugs that she had to take to prevent her body from rejecting the transplant left her vulnerable to cancer and two cancers had developed, the paper said.
At the age of 38, Dinoire received a triangular-shaped graft, comprising the nose, lips and chin from a brain-dead donor, to replace parts of her face that had been mauled by her pet cross-labrador.
Dinoire, a divorced mother of two, later explained the circumstances that led to her losing half her face. After a bad week, Dinoire, who was a seamstress, had taken a large dose of sleeping pills “to forget” her troubles. She woke on her sofa and tried to light a cigarette, and then noticed blood and the presence of her dog beside her. Looking in the mirror, she discovered her terrible injuries.
For months before the transplant, she had “the face of a monster”, she said. She had no mouth and her teeth and gums were exposed, skull-like, in a “reminder of death”. Most of her nose was missing. But she said she had no hatred for her dog Tanya, who she felt had been trying to save her.
It was through British press reports that she discovered her donor had killed herself. She said she felt a bond to her “twin sister” through their suicidal urges. “That it was someone who wanted to die, like me … It’s odd to know that she saved me,” she said.
After the transplant she said she was determined to make a success of her life, learning to eat and speak and also wanting to be able to kiss.
Two years after the transplant she described in a book that the hardest thing was accepting the inside of “someone else’s” mouth. “It was odd to touch it with my tongue. It was soft. It was horrible.”
She said of the discovery of a hair on her chin: “It was odd. I’d never had one. I thought, ‘It’s me that has given it life, but the hair is hers.’Sometimes I put my hand to my face to check that it’s still there.”
Since Dinoire’s partial face transplant, more than 30 people worldwide have had similar treatment. | positive |
Corsair Gone Wild (with a keyboard)
We review the Corsair Vengeance K70 cherry red mechanical keyboard. The K70 is the successor of the popular K60 in terms of the overall basis and concept, but it adds some more features, is much more cool looking with full LED lit keys and has a trick or two encompassed in the new design as well.
Today's tested set of keys for example comes in black anodized aluminum, and it' just looks incredible. Though I'll immediately acknowledge that taste is a very subjective thing. Still have a look at what Corsair offers with the Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard brings a smile to my face, especially since it now kas full LED lit keys. So from an aesthetics view, Corsair just gets it.The K70 is intended to replace the K60 from Corsair and is a mechanical FPS gaming keyboard. it received some criticism on the K60, so t was changed for the K70, every key is now mechanical, using Cherry MX Red key-switches. So yes, the K70 is 100% mechanical. New is also per-key adjustable back-lighting, using red LEDs, so that you can customise which keys are lit, according to the game you’re playing. Corsair keeps the the contoured red WASD and 1-6 key-caps. Though we received the black anodised aluminium version, the standard brushed silver aluminium frame is available as well, though I definitely prefer black anodised aluminium.
Another change for the K70 is the addition of a full-sized wrist rest in fact it is quite similar to the one used on the K90. The specs overall remain the same, including a 1000Hz polling rate, 100% anti-ghosting, and the media keys and USB pass-through on the rear remain too. The one change is that the K70 is actually a full n-key rollover keyboard now and if you like choice, Corsair will also offer versions with Cherry MX Brown and MX Blue keys. Standard is Cherry MX red though, as used in this review.
A funny addition to the K70 is a four way BIOS switch located at the backside of the keyboard. It allows you to reduce the polling rate from 1000Hz to 500, 250 or 125Hz, or even strip it back to a basic BIOS mode. Corsair states that this is basically just to aid compatibility with some BIOSes. So in general very few people will ever need to touch the switch.
The K90 also features a full length wrist rest and red LED back-lighting. Let's have a peek at that first ... and then browse our way into the review. | positive |

Petals & Pedals - Plaid Coral - per yard - by Jill Finley for Riley Blake Designs - Multicolor - C11144-CORAL "Not far from my home is a beautiful natural park with lots of biking and hiking trails. Locals know it as the site of a delightful tradition, "Going to the Poppies." This park is the site of an old historical stone home which was built by some of the early founders here. Only a few of the stone walls of the house remain, but these pioneers left something else for us to enjoy, more than 100 years later - a field full of poppies! Every year the beautiful flowers that were started so long ago re-bloom. Bright red poppies, and yellow roses scatter across the landscape among the oaks, maples and sagebrush. Every day I would see happy bikers pedaling up and down the bumpy dirt trails to visit the poppies. I think it is amazing that these blooms are not cared for by a gardener, or watered, fertilized, or trimmed. But each year they come back and continue to give so much pleasure to those who know where to look. Happy Pedaling - and I hope you can find some poppies along the way!"

A smiling gold plastic robot, about a foot high, hangs around Kik Interactive Inc.’s Waterloo, Ont., headquarters like a mascot or garden gnome.
The robot is no mere decoration. It’s the physical manifestation of the mobile messenger’s bot strategy, which the company considers key to making money from its 300 million users in the long term.
Bots, or chat bots, are software programs that could one day allow people to do everything from consulting a lawyer to ordering a hot dog by sending messages to automated accounts within the messenger apps they already use.
The use of bots may seem futuristic, but it’s already a daily reality in China. Users of the massively popular WeChat messenger — whose parent company Tencent has a US$50-million investment in Kik — can apply for a loan, book a doctor’s appointment or order dinner by chatting with bots.
The race is now on to see which messenger will become the WeChat of the West. In mid-April, Facebook Inc. announced it was launching a bot store, opening up Facebook Messenger to any developer who wants to code their own bot.
The news overshadowed the fact that Kik had already launched a bot store of its own a week earlier and had invited select brands to make bots two years before that.
Mike Roberts, Kik’s head of bots and messenger, said those early bots — called promoted chats — were a way to show companies what Kik can do for them. Brands such as MTV and Funny or Die made bots that responded to questions like “Got anything cool or weird to share?” with posts, news stories and images.
“Messaging was really starting to heat up,” Roberts said. “Brands didn’t really understand how they were going to engage with messaging. Promoted chats were the first example of how that relationship could evolve.”
That relationship between brands and messaging was equally important to Kik, whose young user base brings challenges as well as opportunities. The app is particularly popular among teenagers, with the company reporting that 40 per cent of U.S. teens are active users.
On one hand, companies are eager to meet teens on the mobile devices that they spend so much of their time on, since it’s getting harder and harder to reach them through traditional means such as television commercials and billboards.
On the other hand, as Forrester Research e-commerce analyst Sucharita Mulpuru-Kodali points out, teens don’t have their own credit cards, putting their spending in the hands of their parents and limiting their ability to actually make purchases through a bot.
“I don’t know that just because something has young people, there’s any value to that,” she said. “A lot of young people don’t have purchasing power. They don’t have the ability to buy.”
But make no mistake, bots are key to Kik’s strategy in coming out on top amidst some daunting competition such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Snapchat. To turn its cachet with teens into dollars, Kik has had to get creative.
For example, there’s a bot on Kik called @kikpoints, with a profile picture that looks a lot like the gold plastic robot hanging around the company’s headquarters. Start a conversation with it and it lets you know how it works: “Every day I give out offers that let you earn kp (Kik points) to spend on sweet stuff.”
Companies pay Kik to award points to users who watch their advertisements, play their games or chat with their own bots. Developers, in turn, are incentivized to make bots that encourage users to spend their Kik points on digital goods such as games, stickers and smilies — images that allow messenger users to convey emotions visually — through a revenue sharing arrangement.
Kik, the bot developers and the advertisers all win. Meanwhile, the user never has to spend any real-world money or enter credit card information.
“With any app monetization model, it’s, ‘Are they going to pay with their dollars or are they going to pay with their time?’ With Kik points, we have a good answer for how to pay with your time,” Roberts said. “Kids don’t have dollars in their pocket, but they have a way to earn on Kik. Kik can be their part-time job.”
Despite such creative thinking and coveted status as a “unicorn” with a US$1-billion valuation, Kik still has a long way to go to catch up with the juggernauts of social media.
Research firm PrivCo estimates Kik’s 2015 revenue at somewhere between US$26 million and US$34 million, compared to US$18 billion for Facebook, whose Messenger app also has a much larger base of 900 million active monthly users.
“To be brutal here, it’s going to be difficult to compete against Facebook,” said Jason Mander, a senior analyst at social media research firm GlobalWebIndex. “Facebook is so much more integral to daily behaviours.”
Kids don’t have dollars in their pocket, but they have a way to earn on Kik. Kik can be their part-time job.
Nevertheless, Kik has some big ambitions. Roberts said he hopes developers making bots for Kik’s bot store will help the messenger grow up along with its users.
Kik has been experimenting with bots that allow users to make real-world purchases at a local restaurant and on the University of Waterloo campus. For now, ordering food from a bot instead of a waiter is a novelty, but the company also champions the convenience of using them to, for example, order and pay for beer at a baseball game without the hassle of flagging down a vendor and passing change back and forth down a row of seats.
Of course, teens can’t order beer now, but Roberts said he hopes the ones who made Kik popular will stick with the app in the future.
“We’ve seen a shift from everyone being disconnected to everyone being connected,” he said. “We were part of that shift for that generation.”

Are You Turning 65? If you are turning 65 soon, and plan on working past age 65 and will continue to have group health insurance through your employer, you have some investigating to do. Talk to your HR department and to the person that administers your healthcare benefits. Once you turn 65 and if you have worked 40 quarters (10 years) over your working lifetime, you are eligible to receive Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) without cost. Medicare Part A, if you qualify, is automatic, no sign-up is required. The decision to be made is whether you need to apply for Medicare Part B. Contact your HR department and let them know you are eligible for Part B of Medicare. In some cases you will not need to apply for your Part B until you decide to retire. The same goes for your Part D, which is your drug benefit. You need to know that your group insurance is “creditable coverage”. If your employer sponsored group insurance does have creditable coverage you will not need to sign up with a Part D drug plan. If you do need to apply for Medicare Part B. You can call 1.800.MEDICARE or visit www.medicare.gov and apply on-line. I’M NOT WORKING PAST AGE 65, AND NEED TO APPLY: If you are drawing on your Social Security and receiving your monthly Social Security checks, in most cases you don’t need to apply. You will receive your Medicare card in the mail approximately 3 months prior to the month of your birthday. Your Medicare card will show your Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B effective dates. These dates, in most cases, are the 1st day of the month of your birthday. By keeping your Medicare card you are saying that you do want to participate in the Medicare program. If you decide you don't want to participate in Medicare Part B you must return your card. If you are opting out of the Medicare Part B you could be subject to a penalty of 10% per month of the Medicare premium for every month you are not on Medicare Part B. If you choose to keep your Medicare insurance you will need to explore your options for insurance to complement your Medicare coverage. You can explore Medicare supplements and Medicare Advantage plans to find out what is going to best fit your needs. You will also need to explore Medicare Part D options. If you don't enroll in a Medicare Part D plan, you will also be subject to a penalty. Once you have secured your Medicare benefits (Part A and Part B) you will have a total of 7 months to look at insurance plans. You have 3 months prior to Part A and the Part B effective date, the month of your birthday and 3 months after.

Last year, nearly 21 million patients in the United States were prescribed statins. Whether that number of users is too high or too low has been debated for years. While advice on whether to take statins involves a complex mix of factors like age, family history and blood pressure, some experts have suggested that those with total cholesterol levels around 200 would benefit from treatment. Others have argued that treatment should not start until a cholesterol level of 240 or higher, all other factors being equal.
Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe, director of Public Citizen’s health research group, is among those who contend statins are overused. He said the new alerts about risks provided more reasons that otherwise healthy people with cholesterol levels less than 240 “should not be taking these drugs.”

The F.D.A. said that routine monitoring of liver enzymes in the blood, once considered standard procedure for statin users, was no longer needed because the liver injury associated with statin therapy was so rare.
Reports about memory loss, forgetfulness and confusion span all statin drugs and all age groups of patients, the F.D.A. said. Dozens of well-controlled trials of statins have offered few hints that the drugs cause any kind of cognitive impairment, Dr. Egan said. Still, the F.D.A. has received many reports over the years that some patients felt unfocused or “fuzzy” in their thinking after taking the medicines.
Officials in the F.D.A. debated whether such reports were truly worrisome, Dr. Egan said. But in recent years, the F.D.A. — criticized for waiting too long to issue some safety alerts — has become more willing to be public about possible drug risks, even when the evidence is uncertain

“We are trying to be as transparent as possible with our alerts and labeling,” Dr. Egan said, even though the alert on the possibility of fuzzy thinking “is not overly helpful.”
Statins seem to increase blood sugar levels in some patients by small amounts, and when millions are treated, that change leads to a diagnosis of diabetes for more people.
The F.D.A. had already placed an alert about diabetes risks on the label of Crestor, a big-selling statin made by AstraZeneca, because a Crestor trial showed an increased risk. The agency decided to extend that alert to all drugs in the class with the exception of Pravachol, an older medicine manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

A well-controlled trial of Pravachol previously showed that it reduced the risks of developing diabetes by 30 percent, but other trials have found Pravachol less effective in reducing cardiac risks.
Dr. Egan suggested that doctors check the blood sugar levels of patients after starting them on statin therapy.
That statins can cause muscle pain, particularly at high doses, has long been known, but in its new alert the F.D.A. reminded doctors that some other medications increase the likelihood that statins linger in the body longer than normal and increase the risk of muscle pain. Among the drugs that conflict with statins are hepatitis C protease inhibitors like telaprevir and boceprevir and the antibiotics erythromycin and clarithromycin. | positive |
There are now new developments in Syria which could be heralding yet another false flag chemical weapons attack that would be blamed on the Syrian government. Both Iranian FARS News agency and a number of independent journalists on the ground inside Syria are reporting movement of the notorious terrorist support group and propaganda outfit known as the White Helmets that signals the possibility of such an event taking place in the near future.
Sources are reporting that the White Helmets have moved into Ariha, a town located in Idlib province. The group apparently entered the town accompanied by some civilians including children. The sources themselves are suggesting that the group may have arrived in Ariha, which is located close to Khan Sheikhoun, the site of the previous chemical weapons incident, for the purpose of staging another false flag event.
Lebanese new agency, al-Mayadeen, added,
Civil sources in the Syrian city of Idleb revealed the arrival of the notorious White Helmets group in the town of Ariha, located in the southern countryside of Idleb. According to the sources, a number of civilians were recently taken from the town of Saraqib to the town of Ariha. They were reportedly accompanied by a crew of one of the Arab satellite channels, apparently to prepare for a new provocation, similar to the alleged chemical attack on Khan Sheikhun, a town in Idleb province and which took place on the 4th of April.
According to FARS News, local sources have reported that the White Helmets in Idlib are paid around $1,500 to $2,000 per clip of the group “pulling children from rubble.” These sources also claim that the White Helmets are working closely with Turkey in the illicit human organs trade.
In addition, independent Lebanese geopolitical media analyst, Sarah Abdallah, reported that the bodies of 23 children had been stolen from a hospital in Idlib, an act that she believes might also portend a White Helmets false flag attack in the near future. Abdallah’s information has proven accurate time and time again so her revelations are particularly concerning.
This potential false flag is particularly interesting since British Parliament has dissolved ahead of UK elections. In light of Boris Johnson’s recent statements hinting at British military measures against the Syrian government and his desire to do so without consulting Parliament, the timing is certainly ripe for immediate British involvement based on a “chemical attack” blamed on President Assad’s government. Indeed, it was the idea of a “chemical attack” that Johnson cited in his transparent remarks to the BBC.
The White Helmets have long been exposed for being nothing more than al-Qaeda’s propaganda outfit, most recently having signed a document as a statement of solidarity with al-Qaeda fighters in Barada, Damascus, threatening to withhold drinking water from Syrian civilians unless the Syrian military ending all military operations there.
If there was any doubt about the true nature of the White Helmets, I suggest reading my previous articles on the group as well as Vanessa Beeley’s excellent work on the same topic.

Inferno Applications Screenshot
Inferno Games Screenshot
Inferno® is a distributed operating system, originally developed at Bell Labs, but now developed and maintained by Vita Nuova® as Free Software. Applications written in Inferno's concurrent programming language, Limbo, are compiled to its portable virtual machine code (Dis), to run anywhere on a network in the portable environment that Inferno provides. Unusually, that environment looks and acts like a complete operating system.
The use of a high-level language and virtual machine is sensible but mundane. The interesting thing is the system's representation of services and resources. They are represented in a file-like name hiearchy. Programs access them using only the file operations open, read/write, and close. The 'files' may of course represent stored data, but may also be devices, network and protocol interfaces, dynamic data sources, and services. The approach unifies and provides basic naming, structuring, and access control mechanisms for all system resources. A single file-service protocol (called Styx or 9P2000) makes all those resources available for import or export throughout the network in a uniform way, independent of location. An application simply attaches the resources it needs to its own per-process name hierarchy ('name space').
The system can be used to build portable client and server applications. It makes it straightforward to build lean applications that share all manner of resources over a network, without the cruft of much of the 'Grid' software one sees.
Inferno can run 'native' on various ARM, PowerPC, SPARC and x86 platforms but also 'hosted', under an existing operating system (including FreeBSD, Irix, Linux, MacOS X, Plan 9, and Solaris), again on various processor types.
(description copied from google code project)
Besides being a new runtime environment, Inferno offers a number of applications which should run out of the box:
multimedia (audio player, mpeg player, avi player)
games (tetris, reversi, lego mindstorms interface, etc.)
collaboration tools (email client, chat, shared whiteboard, etc.)
servers (web server, content addressable storage system, etc.)
tools (vt terminal, telnet, sgml editor, debuggers, etc.)

This isn’t the first time a filmmaker related film to a “composed film” as well as formulating how you see the world into a style of filming.
Pudovkin was one of the first known filmmakers who had expressed that idea in his book Film Technique
Consider the passage
“The lens of the camera replaces the eye of the observer, and the changes of angle of the camera—directed now on one person, now on another, now on one detail, now on another — must be subject to the same conditions as those of the eyes of the observer.”

And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel. 11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? 12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. 13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;) 14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, 16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. 17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. 19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. 20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. 22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. 25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me. 30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. 32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. 34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. 35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land, 37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. 38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. 39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. 41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper. 42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. 43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you. 44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. 45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

BACK LIVE AFTER THE BIG STORM
During the Fall a big storm hit the coast bringing devastation all over the Ligurian coastline. Waves up to 10 mt @ 12 sec were recorded from oceanographic buoys, with a strong wind up to 180 km/h. It was something hard to describe, it was unbelievable, especially for the Mediterranean sea.
The biospheres lasted, but we reported big demages losing plants, technology and cables. The facility on land got destroyed. We are now working hard, below and above the water to re-establish the Nemo's Garden.
We are now happy to inform you we've just restored the LIVE STREAMING. You will be able to follow again the uw operations planned for the next months, either through the website or on our Youtube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCWVyZmVpBnGRxHXKgFjcOQ/live

London's banking boom (and hedgehog crisis) revealed in extraordinary maps of the capital that chart its social and political dividing lines
Graphics distorted according to numbers, so higher house prices in Westminster means that area is stretched out
London Mapper project by Oxford University professors Danny Dorling and Benjamin Hennig formed of 300 maps
1,272 sightings of hedgehogs in Richmond-upon-Thames last year - but none in City and only five in Kensington

In such a data-rich world, it’s often a struggle to wade through the numbers and work out what they are telling us - especially when it comes to London.
But two researchers have tried their best to crack this problem after spending two years trying to map the capital’s social and political dividing lines.
The University of Oxford professors have used size-based maps to bring to life statistics as diverse as the rise in bankers and the fall in hedgehogs.
Distribution: This map shows where bankers tend to live within London, with a large number around Canary Wharf and in Kensington and Chelsea
Hedgehogs: There were 1,272 sightings of them in Richmond-upon-Thames last year, but none in the City and only five in Kensington and Chelsea Shapes and sizes: These maps show the increases in the value of housing in England last year, compared to what was sold in 2012 - with a huge rise in London
Danny Dorling and Benjamin Hennig have made 300 maps for the London Mapper project, two more of which show unemployment and air pollution.
And there are huge gaps, such as the life expectancy difference between Hackney and the West End being the same as England and Guatemala.
Their graphics are distorted according to the numbers - so higher house prices in Westminster than Enfield will mean that area is far more stretched out.
The hedgehogs map shows London boroughs resized according to recorded sightings by the Greenspace Information for Greater London group.
Capital gains: This reference map shows all the boroughs of London with their individual colours given by the University of Oxford researchers
Diversity: This map shows net household weekly income in the capital after tax, based on ward-level estimates, with the higher values in darker colours
Educational achievement: This is the capped GCSE point score for pupils across London in 2010, with blue and green representing the highest levels
There were 1,272 sightings of them in Richmond-upon-Thames last year, but none in the City and only five in Kensington and Chelsea.
Other animal sightings which have been mapped by the researchers include peregrine falcons, stag beetles, muntjac deer, reported The Observer.
Professor Dorling told the newspaper: ‘These maps are like fancy pie charts, and if something is twice the size of something else it is obvious.
‘We probably have more quality data [on London] than anywhere else. That's partly because the British are obsessed with collecting numbers.’
Children in poverty: This map shows the percentage of dependent children receiving child tax-credit and in out-of-work families. Red and orange are the worst areas
Ages: This life expectancy graphic shows how things are much better for people living in Kensington and Chelsea (over 82), while it can be less than 77 in East London
The map of property prices shows an enormous increase in London between 2012 and last year, compared to other areas of England and Wales.
This was over a period when the total value of housing in Kensington and Chelsea jumped by £1billion, and in Westminster by £921million.
Another interesting figure was the number of Jews in parts of London – 54,000 just in Barnet, but only 9,000 south of the River Thames.
And a map which shows where bankers tend to live within London, with a large number around Canary Wharf and in Kensington and Chelsea. | positive |
6 Facts About Everyone Thinks Are True – Hillie-JP Hillie-JP These Technologies All Have Staying Power Ideas Home Contact Us 6 Facts About Everyone Thinks Are True Posted By: aebi September 11, 2022 How to Choose Between a Masonry Repair Service and a Restoration Service While masonry is generally durable, you may need to hire a masonry repair service when your home’s brickwork or chimney has developed cracks, holes, or other signs of disrepair. While you may be interested in having a chimney or other masonry piece repaired, the differences between a masonry repair service and a restoration service should be clear. Here are some tips to help you choose the right service for your needs. Generally, you can choose between solid tuckpointing for the entire brick wall or spot tuckpointing for a specific problem. An expert masonry repair service will have the ability to handle both types of jobs, and its skilled crew can work on your home or building without any issues. You can expect to have a dedicated project manager with the team for a complete restoration. Moreover, masonry repairs are cheaper than restorations, since they do not require any major structural changes. Among other types of damages, a concrete crack can cause damage to your personal possessions. If it gets large enough, it can lead to mold and further damage to your property. Fortunately, AAA Superior Construction offers masonry repair services that will restore your driveway to its former glory. The following are some factors to keep in mind when hiring a masonry repair service: First, you should know that a masonry repair service should be hired as soon as you notice any signs of deterioration. While masonry is incredibly durable, it still experiences wear and tear with time. Even small cracks and holes will allow water to enter a property and cause it to deteriorate. If not fixed quickly, these problems will only get worse over time and may require expensive repairs. A professional masonry repair service will be able to identify the exact issue and perform a quick and affordable repair. While masonry repair services generally involve patching a crack or repairing an older stone, a masonry restoration service will replace cracked stones or bricks. They will also consider replacing cracked stone or mortar with a new one. Depending on the type of repairs you need, the masonry repair service may use a variety of techniques, such as sand patching or concrete filling. A masonry repair service will be able to handle any type of damage that your home or building has. Another type of masonry repair service that you should call for is chimney repairs. This service will inspect your chimney and recommend the most effective method for repairing it. For instance, if you notice that a chimney is experiencing erosion or cracks, a masonry repair service can apply repointing or tuckpointing work to the affected areas. Tuckpointing involves grinding out the damaged mortar and smoothing in new mortar. If the damage is significant, a full rebuild may be needed.

Despite the international ban on cluster bombs, more than 150 financial institutions have invested $28 billion in companies that produce them, according to a new report released Thursday.
Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo are among the 158 banks, pension funds, and other firms listed in the "Hall of Shame" compiled by the Netherlands-based organization PAX, a member of the Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC).
The report, titled Worldwide Investments in Cluster Munitions: A Shared Responsibility (pdf), finds that the leading investors come from 14 countries including the U.S., the UK, and Canada. Of the top 10 overall investors, the U.S. is home to eight. Japan and China round out the last two.
Both the UK and Canada—along with France, Germany, and Switzerland, whose institutions are also named on the list—have signed the 2008 Oslo treaty known as the Convention on Cluster Munitions banning the use of the indiscriminate bombs under international law.
The U.S., which hosts by far the most companies on the list with 74, is not a signatory.
Cluster bombs, which can be launched from the air or ground, operate by ejecting smaller sub-munitions or "bomblets" that can saturate an area of several football fields, according to CMC. They can remain volatile long after a conflict ends.
"Financial institutions must stop turning a blind eye to the lethal consequences of their investments," said CMC ambassador Branislav Kapetanović, who survived a cluster bomb in Serbia 16 years ago. "Cluster munitions are being used in Yemen and Syria, causing significant civilian casualties including among children and women. All banks and financial institutions must prohibit investment in companies that produce these indiscriminate weapons."

One type of cluster bomb, produced by the U.S.-based company Textron, has been used by the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in Yemen since March 2015, the report states, citing research by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Some of the countries listed in the report have adopted legislation (pdf) that bans certain forms of investment in cluster bombs, including Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Samoa, Spain, and Switzerland. Others have "made an interpretive statement that investments in cluster munitions are or can be seen as prohibited by the Convention on Cluster Munitions."
But more needs to be done, PAX said, noting that its recommendations "all come down to one simple message: disinvest from producers of cluster munitions now!"
For financial firms, that means ending any connection to cluster bomb manufacturers on every level—commercial banking, investment banking, and asset management, the report states.
It continues: "Financial institutions should develop policies that exclude all financial links with companies involved in cluster munitions production. Because all investment facilitates this production, no exceptions should be made for third-party financial services, for funds that follow an index, or for civilian project financing for a company also involved in cluster munitions."
Co-author Suzanne Oosterwijk said, "It is an outrage that so many financial institutions have no qualms about investing in companies that make banned cluster munitions," though she noted that some companies have made proactive steps to end those links.
"We commend these financial institutions for halting their investments and encourage others to follow suit," she said. | positive |

Some are letters of spiritual direction, a sharing of spiritual insights and social concerns, some more personal. In this carefully selected collection, Merton scholar, Fiona Gardner, has focused on extracts that seem to speak to all who are searching. They have been chosen because they offer an opening into something other – to provide a way into both silence and contemplative prayer. In stock Add to basket Product added to wishlist.

Contemplative Prayer Influences & Suggested Reading, Scripture & Prayer Thomas Merton's classic study of monastic prayer and contemplation brings a tradition of spirituality alive for the present day. But, as A M Allchin points out in his Introduction to this new edition, Contemplative Prayer also shows us the present day in a new perspective, because we see it in the light of a long and living tradition. Merton stresses that in meditation we should not look for a 'method' or 'system' but cultivate an 'attitude' or 'outlook': faith, openness, attention, reverence, expectation, trust, joy. God is found in the desert of surrender, in giving up any expectation of a particular message and 'waiting on the Word of God in silence'. Merton insists on the humility of faith, which he argues 'will do far more to launch us into the full current of historical reality than the pompous rationalisation of politicians who think they are somehow the directors and manipulators of history'. £9.99 £9.99 Add to cart Product added to wishlist. £5.99 Add to cart Product added to wishlist.

Best Buy says charging people $100 more to buy an iPhone X is actually a good thing An extra $100 for ‘flexibility’
If you were preordering an iPhone X from Best Buy today, you might have noticed that the popular electronics retailer is charging an extra $100 on top of the already expensive $999 and $1,149 prices that Apple charges for the phones.
Danielle Schumann, a spokesperson for Best Buy, tried to explain the fact that the company is overcharging for the iPhone X in a statement to Bloomberg, which is included in full below for the sheer ridiculousness of it.
“Our prices reflect the fact that no matter a customer’s desired plan or carrier, or whether a customer is on a business or personal plan, they are able to get a phone the way they want at Best Buy. Our customers have told us they want this flexibility and sometimes that has a cost.”
So, apparently Best Buy is under the impression that its customers would like to pay more to buy phones from it, as opposed to the cheaper retail cost offered everywhere else the iPhone X is sold.
It’s worth pointing out that the extra fee is only if you buy the iPhone X from Best Buy upfront; if you purchase the iPhone in installments from Best Buy, the price works out to the usual $999 and $1,149. You’ll only see the $1,099 and $1,249 prices if you pay for the phone in full. It’s a similar strategy to push customers toward an installment plan as the company’s $100 discount on the Pixel 2, but instead of giving customers a discount on the installment plan, its giving everyone who doesn’t use the monthly option a more expensive price. | positive |

I’ll share how you can not only clean up those fallen leaves but use them as mulch that will benefit your garden. I love so many things about the autumn season…pumpkin spice lattes, sitting in front of the fire, enjoying my favorite fall candle scent. What I don’t like is having to rake the piles of fallen leaves OVER and OVER again and dispose of them. But now I don’t have to! Mowing fallen leaves to make an organic mulch benefits your garden, which will be so happy the next growing season. You can mulch your flower beds, vegetable and flower gardens, containers, and around trees and shrubs. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links are used for your convenience. Read my full disclosure here. The Benefits of Using Fallen Leaves or “Leaf Litter” Retains moisture in the soil Suppresses weeds Protects your plants by buffering the soil temperature Improves soil fertility as it decomposes, which reduces the need for fertilizing Helps to reduce soil erosion Provides nutrients as the leaves decompose. A natural habitat for overwintering critters and pollinators. Creating Organic Mulch Mowing the Fallen Leaves A couple of rules of thumb: The leaves will break down more quickly and shred easier if they are dry. Shredding the leaves as small as possible will help them break down much quicker. Mow the fallen leaves with a mulching lawnmower, which is designed to recirculate the grass clippings so they are cut into small pieces. Most lawnmowers have the mulching capability, but if you have an older mower, it can be converted to a mulcher by installing a mulching blade. Using Leaves After the Season Leaves that are moist and have developed into leaf mold after the season can also be used, as they are most likely partially decomposed and can be worked into the soil. Working the Mulch Into the Garden Beds Apply a 3- to 4-inch layer of shredded leaves around shrubs and trees, keeping the mulch from directly touching the stems and trunks of the plants. Apply a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch to your garden beds, After reading about how fallen leaves will benefit the garden, I hope you are ready to use them as mulch. I’ve put together more tips on getting your garden ready for winter, including when to divide your perennials. Please leave me a comment with any questions you have about your fall garden. I look forward to hearing from you. Until next time, Happy Gardening! If you’ve enjoyed this blog post, please pin and share this on Pinterest.

We've seen that economic growth is within reach for all parts of the world. Even those few places that have been stuck in poverty until the early 21st century. The second broad goal is to respect the planetary boundaries, that is, to combine economic growth and the choice of technologies and behaviors and policies so that we don't trespass the Earth's boundaries and create a terrible. Environmental crises of climate change or acidity of the oceans, or loss of biodiversity. The third main goal of sustainable development is social inclusion. The idea that an economy should serve all of its people. That the benefits of economic growth should be widely shared. That everybody should have a chance at prosperity, at proper health care, education, and we know that that challenge is also an unfulfilled challenge in many parts of the world. Throughout history, many of the gains of an economy have been concentrated at the top. And throughout most of history, the gains of an economy have been highly concentrated in one half of humanity, the men, with women facing discrimination and an inability to participate equally and productively in society. Social inclusion therefore is like the challenge of ending poverty and the challenge of environmental sustainability: an unfinished goal but one that is within reach. For us to make progress on social inclusion. We need to have a framework of values and ethics. We have to ask ourselves, and analyze, in fact, what are the standards that should apply in terms of fairness in society? Why do we care? Why do most of us feel that when there are vast inequalities of income, or when there are people that have billions of dollars and then there are people who are starving, somethings not right with that seen. In order to understand that we have to not only analyze the nature of inequality and social exclusion. But we have to think about the underlying values that give, at least for most of humanity, and for the governments that have signed many charters and declarations, the motivation for social inclusion in the first place. When we think about the questions of inclusion, there are many dimension of moral or ethical choice that we should face. One set of issues is about income and wealth inequality. There are, even within that category, many different issues. First the question of the existence of extreme poverty in societies of plenty. The question of the huge gaps between the rich and the poor. And the question of social mobility. The chance for a poor child to be able to escape from the poverty of one's childhood and become a middle class or even rich person and household within the society. So the first category of ethical or value thinking we should look at is inequality from those various dimensions. The second related but not identical issue is the question of discrimination. Even our laws in most parts of the world continued to discriminate and of course in most of human history the legal framework of the state. Allowed for slavery allowed for complete discrimination against women's rights to hold property or to inherit property. In other words the law itself builds in discrimination. And so a second dimension of our ethical or value thinking should face the question what do we mean, what should we mean by equality before the law, by equal protection of the laws, by the role of the state that respects civil and political rights. A third aspect of our values is about cultural norms. Sometimes things are not strictly illegal, but the attitudes in society, discrimination against minority groups, not hiring particular kinds of people, particular races, ethnicities people from different parts of society is often a cultural attitude sometimes backed up by the force of the state, but sometimes prolonged mainly by our cultural and social views. What should be done about that? How should we think about the relationship of morality or ethics and culture? So, there are many different aspects of values and value systems that we really should explore when we investigate first and then promote the concept of social inclusion. Of course, throughout human history and human thinking, there have been many schools of thought about these questions. It's important for us to understand some of those schools of thought, though in a brief foray into philosophy we can only just touch the surface of some of this thinking. But let me mention five different kinds of value or ethical approaches to the questions of social inclusion. If you look back to the ancient sages, I like to look back to the Buddha, to Aristotle to Confucius as three examples of ethical thinking. The Buddha of course with influence all throughout south and east Asia, Confucius with a huge and lasting influence to this day on ethics in China. And with Aristotle having a long and deep legacy of influence on western thinking about values. We could say, that in all three of those great sages thinking. We find a kind of virtue ethics, as the philosophers nowadays call it. Virtue ethics means that ethics from the point of view of the Buddha or of Aristotle or of Confucius is about how we, as individuals, should act virtuously. For Aristotle, the idea of virtuous living was the key to happiness and was the key to being a good human being. For Buddha, it was the key to escape suffering. For Confucians it was the key to social stability. So virtue and a right kind of living, was the core and part of that virtue was the way that individuals should approach others. For example, in a spirit of compassion as the Buddha emphasized. And it's true, that lends a virtue that we can try to glean some notions of what a true kind of social inclusion might mean. Now, a second kind of philosophical approach comes from the great religions. Of course, many of those draw upon the secular or non religious philosophies as well. But, if you think about the philosophical underpinnings of ethics in the great monotheistic religions Christianity, Judaism Islam. At the core is the notion of the golden rule. To not do to others what you would not want them to do to you. And that also is a major theme for example, of Confucius. But the golden rule underpinning many religious doctrines basically is a principle of equality. And sometimes it's put in that negative way, don't do to others what you don't want them to do back to you, sometimes put in the positive way, do to others what you would like them to do to you. Be charitable to the poor because, if you were in need, you would want that help from others. And of course, these great religious traditions deepened that core principle into ethical systems in Christianity and especially in the social doctrines of the Catholic church the idea of the preferential option for the poor is emphasized. Which means that we should direct our attention and our help and policies according to the social teachings of the Catholic church to the poor. A third kind of ethical system is a secular kind that came much more recently at the end of the 18th century. But very important because it is part of a lot of current day thinking and it has a lot of interest, and that is the philosophy called utilitarianism. This is a philosophy that was propounded first by a a political activist and philosopher, named Jeremy Benton at the end of the 18th Century. He said that the goal of society is happiness. And the goal of an ethical system, and a moral philosophy, and politics should be the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. And so, Jeremy Bentham said that society should maximize its utility, the word that he used as a term, to mean, in essence, happiness of the people. Now utilitarianism gives many different motivations for social inclusion and I'll look to those shortly. A fourth philosophy that arose also in the Western world in the 19th century, with strong roots in England first, and, then especially strong political roots in the right-wing I could say of the U.S. political spectrum. Is a philosophical idea called libertarianism. Libertarianism is a little bit different than utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is the greatest good for the greatest number. Libertarianism in shorthand, is a philosophy that says, leave me alone. I don't want the state, the government imposing on me. I don't want others imposing on me. I have my rights to liberty, that's the preeminent right in that philosophy. And don't interfere. So libertarianism is a in extreme free market, or laissez-faire philosophy, leave me alone. You can see that is has it's attraction in the context of authoritarian or totalitarian government, because the main doctrine of libertarianism is liberty. And when liberty is being wholly violated, that's a denial of basic rights and it becomes a very powerful doctrine. But libertarianism goes farther in some ways in our society to what many, including myself, regard as an extreme conclusion. It says that it's not even right to say that a rich man should give a small part of his wealth to a poor and starving person, because it's his liberty to do what he wants. And so libertarianism tends to oppose the use of taxes for example, to redistribute income in society. A fifth philosophy, very much part of our international culture in the 20th century and now 21st century, is a human rights philosophy. This is yet another approach to the question of social inclusion. The human rights approach, which one can see, has its roots in some of the religious traditions as well, says that every human being on the planet has basic human rights. Political rights, civil rights as a citizen. But also economic, social and cultural rights, so five categories of rights. And the idea is that because a person is a human being, being a human being is enough to say that human being has rights including the right to a decent life, the right to be able to meet basic needs in society. The right to call on society to ensure that those basic needs are fulfilled, you see the difference for example, with the libertarian idea. The libertarian idea says government has no right to impose on any citizen, even a rich citizen. Government's only right is to create a framework of law and order and security, not to redistribute income or property, for example, for the benefit of the poor. Whereas the human rights approach says, No. A poor person has rights, some basic rights to health, to education, to a means of livelihood. And society must be organized, including, for example, through taxation, to help meet those basic needs. This I think helps us to see in thinking about those five different dimensions and of course one could mention others, that throughout human history we've thought about these ethical issues in quite different ways. The great sages thought about us having the responsibility to be virtuous in our behavior. The religions about our responsibility to others according to the Golden Rule. Utilitarianism to our responsibility as a society or collectivity to maximize happiness within the society. Libertarianism emphasizing the dangers of an over reach of government. And human rights as part and parcel of the global legal environment. As defining basic standards that should apply to every human being on the planet, no matter what kind of political social system he or she lives in. I want to pursue this issue of the human rights because it is our dominant framework, It's the one that the member states of the United Nations have signed onto. It says that we should meet the basic needs of everybody on the planet, at least progressively meet them. If we're not able to because of technology or other limitations there should be what is called a progressive realization of those rights, in other words we should strive to end extreme poverty, even if we can't do that all at once we should strive to ensure that everybody has access to education. We should strive to ensure that everybody has access to decent healthcare. Economist sometimes give a name to some of the targets of those basic needs, calling them merit goods, education and health are merit goods in the language of economists. Because everybody in society merits them. They merit them in the human rights approach, simply by virtue of being human beings. They may merit them in an economist's broader approach by saying that society benefits by ensuring that everybody has that kind of access or coverage. Let me give you an example. Adam Smith, who we mostly think of as a free market economist, said that education is a merit good. Now, the human rights community would say, right on, it's the right of people to have education. But Adam Smith said it's also a good idea for society because it will produce better outcomes not only meeting the rights of individuals, but produce more social stability let me just quote what Adam Smith said in 1776. He said the state meaning the government and the society derives no inconsiderable advantage from the peoples instruction, in other words education. The more they are instructed, the less liable they are to the delusions of enthusiasm and superstition. So he's saying by educating the population, society is safer, it doesn't go off in crazy ideas of superstition or or other kinds of delusions. And Adam Smith went on to say that the expense of the institutions for education and religious instruction, is likewise, no doubt beneficial to the whole society, and may therefore without injustice be defrayed by the general contribution of society. He's saying that since education is a merit good, society should pay for it. In other words public education. We have tended to view healthcare in the same way. It's a merit good partly because individuals have a basic right to health. But also because helping people to remain healthy helps other people too we don't want to say aw doesn't matter whether those people are vaccinated or not. Because when a significant part of a population does not have a basic vaccine, then an epidemic disease can spread through the community and endanger everybody. And so, health is a merit good in the individual sense of a right but also in the sense of providing a broad benefit to society. One could say therefore that the focus on basic needs especially health and education, can be viewed as a human right according to the human rights approach. Or it could be viewed as a wise and useful kind of policy. A bit like the utilitarian idea of producing the greatest good for the greatest number. I want to underscore the role of ethics and values and the need for us to have more discussion, more public awareness, more debate about these underlying ethical choices, because sustainable development, as a set of goals, depends on ethics. It depends on how we view the right thing to do. We have thousands of years of deep human thinking on this. We can draw upon it, we can draw upon these different facets and approaches. And I believe we need to, to help mold a global ethic for the 21st century. [MUSIC] Explore our Catalog Join for free and get personalized recommendations, updates and offers.

Melbourne removalists unite in calendar to raise money for domestic violence services
Updated
A group of Melbourne removalists have united to launch a calendar to raise money for domestic violence services, after being exposed to the severity of the crisis through their work.
One of the organisers, Harriet Stewart, said the project was about men coming together to bring awareness to an issue that kills two women every week.
Ms Stewart, whose partner appears in the calendar, said the point was to show that "masculinity shouldn't equate to violence".
"The aim is to show that men need to be asking the question of each other, rather than women just rallying together to protect themselves," she said.
"To encourage greater social understanding, and to show there are men that are really against domestic violence."
Ms Stewart said the calendar highlighted that stereotypically removalists were "perhaps not the kind people that would normally speak out about a cause like domestic violence".
"Firemen often do these type of calendars, but this is unskilled labour, it's working class. They are the un-sung heroes," she said.
Friendly Moving Men owner Ben Hallpike said his team was just a "bunch of guys that don't take themselves seriously, but take the issue seriously".
Twenty brief-clad removalists from the Collingwood company came together to pose in the festive calendar, showing they are "willing to go anywhere, and do anything" — even carry a fridge across a river, shirtless.
Ms Stewart said the Friendlies team — a mixed bag of musicians, students, artists, sportsman, even an aspiring pastry chef — did not take much convincing when they were approached with the idea at knock-off drinks.
"They were horrified by the statistics and excited to help," she said.
The removalist company has a history of working with organisations like Merri Outreach, a homeless organisation that assists women fleeing domestic violence.
Mr Hallpike said his team's exposure to scenarios like these had had a strong impact on the entire company, motivating the men to raise money for the organisations they work with like Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria and Merri Outreach.
Merri Outreach operations manager Katrina Mcauley said Friendlies were often a "lifeline" for women who needed to leave dangerous situations quickly.
"We have guys who move women out who have interim intervention orders in place. And they know our clientele really well, they're always very sensitive to our needs," she said.
"They can be our lifeline from time to time, they can be the difference between things going really well or going really, really bad.
"If people get evicted or women have to leave really, really quickly, they're the ones that are there.
"They are quite often put in scenarios that are often considered quite risky."

Minneapolis protesters continue occupation of county government center
By WSWS reporting team
10 October 2011
Demonstrators marked day two of the occupation of the Hennepin County Government Center, renamed “The People’s Plaza,” in downtown Minneapolis. The World Socialist Web Site spoke to a wide variety of workers and youth who expressed anger about the economic crisis, unemployment and the ongoing wars of the Obama administration.
Jasen Tveit, an artist and musician, is currently unemployed. He’s worked as a computer technician and professional baker. He told the WSWS, “The reason I'm here is due to the $16 trillion in bailout money given to corporations and banks, including foreign banks. I believe it was not only illegal, but was unconstitutional. It works out to $53,000 per American citizen.
“If you had taken the $16 trillion and distributed $53,000 to each American citizen, it would have helped people. My mom owes less than that on her house. She would have been able to pay it off.
“We have people that should be able to retire, but they’re losing their pensions. If they had $53,000 they could retire and there would be more jobs for the younger people.
“And the wars today are basically used as a mechanism for profit. We have banks like Goldman Sachs that have branches in various countries lending money to both sides in these wars. Goldman Sachs has banks in both Libya and Syria and they lend money to both sides to kill each other, and the banks profit.
“As for Obama, I think he is a tool. He’s in the pocket of all the others that came from Goldman Sachs. There are fourteen different congressman and senators, all former Goldman Sachs employees.”
A sophomore at the University of Minnesota, also spoke to the WSWS. “I’m a 20-year-old college student and my parents are still paying off their college debt,” she said. “My Dad is fifty years old. I find it is appalling that there are people sitting on huge piles of money while people like my family, and people doing worse than we are, have all this debt.
“It’s impossible to escape student debt. Even if you declare bankruptcy, you cannot escape it. So I’m here today because I want my opinion heard. Students in America need more affordable educations.
“I’m a sophomore at the University of Minnesota and majoring in global studies. I’m incurring debt, a lot of it. And it’s very difficult to find a job now. A lot of people are unemployed after they graduate. They can’t find a job.
“As far as myself, I don’t know what to expect. What I would like to do is travel and work with non-profit organizations. But I’m not sure that the support for them will be there.” | positive |

Instead, some say it's their toughest year yet By Wynne Davis, Ailsa Chang, Karen Zamora, Courtney Dorning Published December 23, 2021 at 1:03 PM EST Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Listen • 8:05 Michael Loccisano / Getty Images Many teachers thought 2021 was going to be a better school year than 2020, but a lot have found it to be harder as students are struggling to catch up after a year of remote and hybrid learning. Between COVID cases climbing because of the omicron variant and behavioral issues in the classroom, some teachers are ready to quit while others are breaking down in school bathrooms amid overwhelming pressure. Educators are facing layers upon layers of stress as the pandemic continues. In Davenport, Iowa, Michael Reinholdt is a teacher coach, and after running a classroom last year knows the challenges of in-person learning all too well. Between students acting out, staffing shortages and a coming wave of omicron-driven infections, he says "teachers are drowning" and reaching their breaking point. "They feel like they can't keep their heads above water," Reinholdt said. "They're responsible for not only the standards that they have in the classroom for this year, but they're also responsible for all of the lost learning for the last 18 months. They feel like they simply can't keep up." Nearly two years into the pandemic, many teachers thought this year would be different. Sure, 2020 was tough between the transition to remote classes and then back to hybrid learning, but for teachers like pre-K educator Suzen Polk-Hoffses, it was hoped this year would be better. But that isn't the case for Polk-Hoffses and her fellow teachers in Milbridge, Maine. "I will tell you that the teachers I've spoken to in my district and throughout the state have just shared that this has been the worst teaching year of their life," she said. "Really, we just want to teach. We thought this was going to be over with. We thought that once everybody got vaccinated and we started wearing masks, that this would end, and this has become a nightmare." Polk-Hoffses said the experience of teaching in a pandemic had some teachers in her state ready to leave the profession altogether. As for the omicron variant, she said it was compounding problems that had been in the country's education system for years. "We're trying to do the best we can, but we are imploding within," Polk-Hoffses said. "These are wonderful, dedicated, passionate teachers and we're all imploding. Never in a million years – I've been doing this for 21 years now ... I never thought I'd be imploding." The problems teachers are facing are across all grade levels. Amber Wilson teachers English to 10th and 12th graders in Denver, Colo. She says she's doing OK, and that teaching in-person does make a difference because the students can see her face and she can see theirs, but it is still difficult as students have come back "with a whole host of other kinds of issues." "A lot of what we're seeing is that trauma that has started to come out in ways that high school kids act out, right?" Wilson said. "So some discipline-type issues, just their attentiveness in class, trying to divorce them from their cell phone that they had unfettered access to all last year. So it's the normal high school things. It just feels like it's exponentially more." These issues include what Wilson and others have deemed as "middle-school behaviors." It makes sense, Wilson said, because a lot of the kids entering high school missed out on formative middle school years that usually include maturing and learning how to act appropriately while at school. Keeping kids in their seats and dealing with bathroom vandalism are just two of the issues Wilson mentioned as having happened at her high school. Peter Faustino is a school psychologist in New York who has been in the field for more than 25 years. He serves on the board of directors for the National Association of School Psychologists and said in the first three months of the school year, school psychologists saw the same number of mental health and emotional issues that they would in an entire year before the pandemic. "We're seeing, I think the effect of the pandemic and all of those issues really now in the forefront of our work," Faustino said, "where students and families are really saying, 'I can't keep going like this. I need help.'" Those behavioral problems extend down to the elementary level as well, Reinholdt said. And it contributed to teachers feeling overwhelmed and at times breaking down and crying in bathrooms, Reinholdt said, because there was simply not enough time to deal with everything at hand. "I work with the most passionate, dedicated professionals ... and they are feeling overwhelmed by this," he said. "The amount of responsibilities and the stresses that are put on them, both in the professional hemisphere and also in their personal lives here, and they're breaking down underneath it." Reinholdt, Polk-Hoffses and Wilson all agree that they have no plans of leaving the classroom, but that teachers are struggling and need help so they don't lose what's driving them to be a teacher. "I truly believe that education is a game changer for students, and it helped me and ... I'm not going to let this virus get me," Polk-Hoffses said. "I'm going to stay here. Virus, you're not going kick me out of my classroom." Copyright 2021 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

The unlikely win of a US Senate seat by a Democratic candidate in deeply Republican Alabama has underscored the power of black voters—and the terrible job Democrats have done of courting them in the past.
Doug Jones, the former federal prosecutor who beat Roy Moore in the Alabama special election, launched an unusually aggressive campaign reaching out to African-Americans in the state. If Democrats want to recreate his victory elsewhere, they’re going to have to inject the same kind of resources—and then some. Other Republican candidates are unlikely to motivate black Democratic voters to go to the polls in opposition more than Moore, who had waxed nostalgic about the days of slavery.
Black leaders have been urging the Democratic party to do more to motivate voters in their community for a while. They say Democratic candidates have taken black voters for granted and don’t speak about the issues they care most about. They’ve put little effort into convincing African-Americans to vote, and when they do, it’s at the very last minute. Ahead of the Alabama election, a writer for African-American culture magazine The Root condemned the “entire Democratic party,” including Jones, as “trash” in a piece that listed those and other grievances.
Now that the Alabama results have Democrats finally paying attention, African-American voters, activists and their advocates are reminding the party of those failures, and offering advice on how to make up for them. The Brookings Institution has compiled a list of 26 cities with a majority African-American population that could help Democrats win or hold Senate seats in 2018. These would be good places for Democrats to start:
City Total population % of Black population 18+ Wilmington, Delaware 71,549 41 Lauderhill, Florida 69,979 59 Miami Gardens, Florida 112,021 58 North Miami, Florida 62,042 46 Pine Hills, Florida 66,906 51 Gary, Indiana 78,483 62 Baltimore, Maryland 622,454 49 Bowie, Maryland 56,885 38 Waldorf, Maryland 71,399 41 Detroit, Michigan 690,074 62 Flint, Michigan 99,802 41 Pontiac, Michigan 59,928 38 Southfield, Michigan 72,859 56 Jackson, Mississippi 173,212 59 Camden, New Jersey 76,904 34 East Orange, New Jersey 64,578 71 Irvington township, Essex County, New Jersey 54,320 63 Newark, New Jersey 279,793 38 Trenton, New Jersey 84,632 38 Mount Vernon, New York 68,221 52 Cleveland, Ohio 390,584 39 Memphis, Tennessee 657,167 47 DeSoto, Texas 51,478 54 Hampton, Virginia 137,081 39 Portsmouth, Virginia 96,135 40 Richmond, Virginia 213,735 39
And 31 cities that could make a difference in 2020 for the Senate—and for the presidential race by default.
City Total population % of Black population 18+ Birmingham, Alabama 212,211 56 Mobile, Alabama 194,669 38 Montgomery, Alabama 202,967 44 Wilmington, Delaware 71,549 41 Albany, Georgia 76,466 52 Atlanta, Georgia 448,901 42 Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia 196,635 41 Macon-Bibb County, Georgia 154,608 39 Savannah, Georgia 142,919 41 Valdosta, Georgia 56,504 38 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 229,186 42 Lake Charles, Louisiana 74,190 35 New Orleans, Louisiana 376,738 46 Shreveport, Louisiana 200,015 41 Detroit, Michigan 690,074 62 Flint, Michigan 99,802 41 Pontiac, Michigan 59,928 38 Southfield, Michigan 72,859 56 Jackson, Mississippi 173,212 59 Camden, New Jersey 76,904 34 East Orange, New Jersey 64,578 71 Irvington township, Essex County, New Jersey 54,320 63 Newark, New Jersey 279,793 38 Trenton, New Jersey 84,632 38 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 56,642 48 North Charleston, South Carolina 104,146 36 Memphis, Tennessee 657,167 47 DeSoto, Texas 51,478 54 Hampton, Virginia 137,081 39 Portsmouth, Virginia 96,135 40 Richmond, Virginia 213,735 39
Some of the cities on the lists are in toss-up states where a sliver of the electorate has the potential to swing the results, such as Michigan and Florida.
They also include places in Republican strongholds such as Texas, Mississippi, and South Carolina that went for Donald Trump by a wide margin in 2016. In the past, Democrats had written off those states as unwinnable. Alabama might change those calculations.
“When society’s assumptions around who should be valued catches up to the actual assets in black communities, we will see the kind of victories in Alabama in all of our communities, businesses and schools,” wrote Andre Perry, a fellow at Brookings metropolitan policy program. | positive |
Final Fantasy XV, World of Final Fantasy set for Taipei Game Show this month
Update: The Final Fantasy XV presentation is confirmed not to be the January 2016 Active Time Report in a tweet from the game’s official Japanese Twitter profile. Additionally, the tweet also states that the contents from the Final Fantasy XV presentation will differ from the contents for the Active Time Report.
Original story below as follows
Sony Computer Entertainment Taiwan today revealed plans for Taipei Game Show – which is set to run from January 29th through February 2nd this year – and include a selection of stage events from popular overseas creators.
Among them, director Hajime Tabata will be showing off a bit of Final Fantasy XV while producer Shinji Hashimoto will take part in a game demonstration along with director Hiroki Chiba for World of Final Fantasy.
On January 31st both games will be on display at the PlayStation booth starting from 11:00 local time (10PM EST on January 30th) where Tabata will kick off his hour-long presentation to share with players worldwide the latest news on Final Fantasy XV. Then at 13:00 local time (12AM EST) Hashimoto and Chiba will go on stage for 35 minutes to talk more on World of Final Fantasy.
It’s unknown if this is the date of the promised “late January” Active Time Report but we expect Square Enix to make a formal announcement as we close in on the end of the month. Last year at TPGS details from a similar stage event were shared a few days later in their own dedicated ATR so it’s likely the same thing could happen here, perhaps even reversed. | positive |

Richard Allen Baldwin (June 10, 1955 – June 12, 1997) was an American racing driver who competed on the NASCAR circuit. He ran a few races each season during 1983-85 running his self-owned Dodge Mirada and Chrysler Imperial.
On June 14, 1986, Baldwin was substituting for the injured Buddy Arrington at the Miller American 400 at Michigan International Speedway, part of the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. During qualifying, Baldwin spun and hit the wall, driver's side first, between turns one and two. The protective window netting may have failed to prevent his head from striking the wall during the impact, resulting in massive head injuries.[1]
In January 1992, a suit filed by Baldwin's wife Deborah, claiming the window net had allowed her husband's head to strike the wall,[1] was decided in favor of NASCAR, which was cleared of negligence by a 12-person state district court jury.[2]
After eleven years in a coma, Baldwin died two days after his 42nd birthday in 1997. The fatality was the first driver death in the history of Michigan International Speedway. Baldwin was survived by his wife and two daughters Jennifer and Tiffany, and his mother and father.[citation needed]

IN A recent Dilbert cartoon, the pointy-haired boss asks: “Who wants to hear about my golf game?” One of his underlings replies: “Maybe someone with locked-in syndrome who doesn't get any visitors.”
Golfers must constantly contend with two pernicious, false and yet widespread beliefs. First, that golf is boring. Second, that businesspeople who play it are all weasels who plot fraudulent deals between shots.
To get a more fair and balanced view of the relationship between business and golf, I spoke to Julian Small, the CEO of Wentworth Golf Club, a bunkered paradise on the outskirts of London.
He gave a robust defence of the world's greatest sport. As a form of corporate entertainment, golf's first virtue is that people of any age can play it. Tennis can be fun, but if the 65-year-old boss of the company you are trying to sell widgets to dies of a heart attack running for your power serve, it probably won't help your business. Boxing is even worse.
The sport's second strength is that, thanks to the handicap system, people of widely differing abilities can compete against each other. This makes the game more fun. (Though some weaselly types abuse the system by deliberately losing to clients.)
Golf's third asset is that you only spend a small portion of a four-hour game actually hitting the ball, so there is plenty of time to talk shop. This is not true of, say, football.
Last, and most importantly, golf is a fine test of character. “When you do business with people, you need to know more about them,” says Mr Small. Golf rewards players who remain calm under pressure, never lose their temper and think strategically. These are all virtues in business, too.
The culture of golf is one of scrupulous honesty. It is easy to cheat: you can move your ball to a nicer lie when no one is watching. But it is utterly, utterly unacceptable to do this. Cheaters are shunned, and word of their perfidy spreads quickly.
The star golfers you see on television set a wonderful example, observes Mr Small. When they accidentally move their ball, they call a penalty on themselves—even if no one would have noticed, and even if it means they lose the tournament and a fortune in prize money.
Intriguingly, a recent study found that bosses who don't play golf are paid 17% less on average than those who do. Could this be because the qualities that make a good golfer—a mixture of hyper-competitiveness with strategic thinking and coolness under fire—also make for a good chief executive?
Probably not. The same study found that although golfing bosses are paid more, they do not produce better results for shareholders. One explanation would be that they are buttering up members of the compensation committee by inviting them to play wonderful courses like Wentworth. More likely, the correlation is pure chance.

Progress is fine, but it's gone on for too long.: Reese's Interlocking Adjustable Stencils Progress is fine, but it's gone on for too long. with apologies to Ogden Nash... Follow me on Instagram Now on Instagram! Wednesday, January 28, 2015 Reese's Interlocking Adjustable Stencils According to Reese's New Patent Adjustable Stencil Letters, official credit for the first "settable-unit stencils" goes to Edwin Allen, who filed his U.S. patent in 1840. Samuel Widdows Reese was a veteran of the American Civil War, who settled in Chicago after the conflict. His first stencil patent was filed in 1873, and then a second patent was applied for three years later for stencils with an S-fold on one edge to lock the stencils together. In that same year, 1876, he opened his firm, S.W. Reese & Company, in Chicago. Reese left the Chicago company under the management of his partner, Christian Hanson, and established a second business, Reese & Company, in Manhattan. Popular Gardening, 1887 The New Wonder Book Cyclopedia of World Knowledge. Philadelphia & Toronto: International Press, 1954. The Chicago company became C.H. Hanson in 1866, and remains today a family-owned concern. They still manufacture interlocking brass stencils, but no longer under the Reese name. In 2013 they acquired the Palmgren Tool Business, a famous maker of rotary tables and drill-press vices.

More than half a million people in the U.S. have died from HIV infection, and more than a million currently live with the virus, but a relative handful of people infected with HIV never get treatment for it and never get sick from it. The immune systems of this small population—perhaps 50,000 Americans—somehow control the virus for long periods of time. Of course, there is typically a bell curve of response to any disease, but figuring out how these people control the virus is one of the most vexing mysteries of the AIDS pandemic. Solving it might unlock new ways to prevent and treat HIV infection, and now several research teams are going after the answer.
Ten years after infection with HIV, a typical person has progressed to where tens if not hundreds of thousands of copies of the virus can be found in a single milliliter of their blood and more than three quarters of their CD4 immune cells are destroyed, if they have not started drug therapy.
"Long-term nonprogressors" is a category of persons whose disease progresses less rapidly than average. Researchers originally used the term broadly but now they have been able to tease out two subsets of patients within a hierarchy:
"Viremic controllers" are the next segment down the curve. After 10 years, one can find only 50 to 2,000 copies per milliliter of HIV in their blood; their CD4 count may be stable or may have declined, sometimes significantly. At the far end of the curve are "elite controllers," people whose immune system suppresses HIV below 50 copies per milliliter; their CD4 cells have not declined, even a decade or more after initial infection.
Studying HIV controllers, however, is difficult. Testing for HIV is not part of routine medical care; an estimated quarter to a third of those infected with the virus in the U.S. do not know they are carrying it; and many learn of their infection only when they suffer an opportunistic infection that is typical of advanced HIV disease.
Thus, controllers are likely to be disproportionately represented among those who do not know their HIV status. Other controllers have been put on therapy early, perhaps before they needed to be. Doctors and patients simply do not know enough about this type of response and where to refer these patients to participate in a study. And finally, privacy laws hamper communications between controllers who might otherwise help to push the research forward. All of these contribute to making it difficult to identify and study HIV controllers.
Their rarity became apparent in a recently published analysis of HIV-positive soldiers serving in the U.S. military. Elite controllers were just 0.55 percent of the 4,586 persons in the military cohort (viremic controllers made up 3.34 percent). This population offers perhaps the best natural history that scientists are likely to obtain, because all soldiers are regularly screened for HIV and all infections are identified fairly soon after they occur.
It's in the genes
The virus carried by HIV controllers is less fit; it reproduces less rapidly than virus in people who do not control HIV as well, according to Douglas Kwon. It is not that these people were fortunate to become infected with a less fit virus but rather "the immune system drives it to a less fit variant," he adds. Kwon is part of the research team assembled by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Bruce Walker of the Ragon Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital. They are analyzing the genes and immune function of HIV controllers, about 1,600 so far.
Host genes of the major histocompatibility complex (the genes that determine how mammals respond to pathogens) play a significant role in how the immune system responds to all pathogens. Several variants, such as the HLA B*5701 allele, have been associated with the pace of HIV disease progression in both controllers and "normals."
Only viruses that have mutated escape mechanisms from immune pressures are able to survive, but the mutations come at the cost of other aspects of viral fitness, perhaps inhibiting entry into cells or integration into cell DNA. According to Stephen Migueles, a National Institutes of Health researcher, "about 90 percent of the elite controllers in our cohort carry these protective alleles." Kwon adds that many, but not all, controllers show an enriched presence of multiple copies of these alleles.
What has become clear from their research is that there is no single genetic pathway to controlling HIV; there likely are multiple routes, each with their own combination of genetic and environmental factors. Host genetics are neither a necessary nor sufficient factor in explaining how some people control HIV. Migueles calls it "an important clue," but not the final answer to the question. The researchers hope that as the number of controllers enrolled in studies increase, so, too, will the power to detect specific genes and combinations thereof that affect the immune system's ability to control HIV.
CD8 T cells are the most important immune factor in reining in HIV. Migueles has found that for those who control the virus their CD8 T cells of are both quantitatively and qualitatively different from those who follow the typical course of disease progression. Not only do controllers have more CD8 T cells, each cell produces greater quantities of perforin and granzymes, which stimulate apoptosis, or cell death. "The capacity of these cells to kill is 40 percent greater," he says.
The role of inflammation
At the University of California, San Francisco (U.C.S.F.), a different group of researchers is investigating the role of inflammation and immune activation in HIV disease progression. Their hypothesis draws on the observation that sooty mangabeys (monkeys) infected with the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)—a pathogen thought to be the ancestor of HIV—have a high viral load but low immune activation. They do not progress to disease and live a normal life span comparable with animals not infected with SIV. But if you put that same virus into a rhesus macaque, the monkey's immune system reacts similarly to that of humans; there is severe depletion of CD4 T cells and progression to AIDS, explains U.C.S.F. researcher Peter Hunt. "The difference between these two scenarios is high levels of immune activation. We are not just talking about the T cells and B cells that are specific for HIV or SIV, we are talking about the vast majority of all immune cells in the body. Over 60 percent of their CD8 T cells are activated. This is profoundly unusual; usually we see about 10 percent activation in an individual who is not infected with HIV."
"The height or extent of immune activation seems to be a strong predictor of how rapidly people progress to HIV disease," Hunt says. Elite controllers have significantly lower levels of immune activation. Correspondingly, controllers with the highest level of immune activation have the lowest levels of CD4 counts. "We think that the majority of HIV controllers, while they are able to control virus replication, still have abnormal levels of inflammation," he adds. "The very small amount of virus that they harbor really drives a lot of inflammation. That is not without consequences. Inflammation has long been thought to play a role in cardiovascular disease and accelerating the aging process."
"As a field, we are starting to grapple with premature aging in the HIV-infected population, even in patients who are on therapy—their immune systems largely look like someone whose immune system is many years older," Hunt notes. "People are commonly getting cardiovascular disease and cancers normally associated with the aging process, just at earlier ages," he says.
Hope for a vaccine
One possible implication of this line of research is the development of an HIV vaccine. Traditional vaccines stimulate the immune system ahead of time, preparing it to respond to a pathogen to which it has not yet been exposed. Vaccines often generate a higher response level than does natural exposure to the pathogen, to better fight off the invader.
But if a key issue with HIV disease is an overly stimulated inflammatory immune response, then perhaps the goal of a preventive vaccine should be to dampen rather than heighten an immune reaction. This stands vaccinology on its head and raises all sorts of new complications for research. | positive |

The events complex last night debuted new colored LED lights that illuminate the recently renovated Sails Pavilion’s fabric roof. The lights change colors and can be seen from downtown, Coronado Bay and are particularly visible from the air, the center said. “The Sails Pavilion is our Convention Center’s most distinguishing feature,” convention center President and CEO Clifford “Rip” Rippetoe said. “After 28 years in operation, it was time to reinvest and reimagine the space. Not only were we able to conduct necessary maintenance and upgrades without interfering with our business, but we were able to add something new that will make the Convention Center truly shine.” The $377,000 lights are the same fixtures as those used at the Empire State Building. The lights represent the final upgrade at the 90,000-square-foot Sails Pavilion that recently underwent a $16.7 million renovation. Other upgrades were the new roof, a new concrete floor and a new fire-suppression system, according to the convention center. “These upgrades represent an infrastructure investment in one of the greatest economic engines that we have,” Mayor Kevin Faulconer said. “This iconic Sails Pavilion is how so many people — San Diegans and visitors alike — help to identify our great city skyline.” Categories: Local San Diego News Facebook Twitter Tweets by KUSINews Most Popular Bill Walton calls out Mayor Todd Gloria for allowing the homeless to destroy San Diego Downtown San Diego business owners fed up with homeless destroying the community Padres star Randy Jones reveals pains of living next to homeless motel Migrants being dumped at San Diego homeless shelters Crowne Plaza Hotel homeless shelter turns into processing center for migrants There was an unexpected 40% increase in 'all cause deaths' in 2021 Only On KUSI Good Evening San Diego, Good Morning San Diego, National & International News, Trending Hurricane Fiona barrels toward Nova Scotia Good Evening San Diego, Good Morning San Diego, KUSI, Local San Diego News, Politics, Trending SANDAG decides fate of controversial Mileage Tax Good Evening San Diego, Good Morning San Diego, KUSI, Local San Diego News, Trending 20th Annual San Diego Restaurant Week begins Sunday, Sept. 25 California News, Good Evening San Diego, Good Morning San Diego, KUSI, National & International News, Politics, Trending The Fed is STILL behind the curve on inflation, says Hal Lambert Good Evening San Diego, Good Morning San Diego, Local San Diego News, National & International News, Trending Rosh Hashanah celebrated from Sunday night until Tuesday, Sept. 27 California News, Good Morning San Diego, Local San Diego News, Politics State Sen.

I wrote a piece yesterday on how this NBA season has moved so fast, it’s almost standing still. Or, to throw it at you another way, so much has happened, it feels like nothing has. Jeremy Lin is the sole exception, and the big winner, in this year of cognitive overload. But I had a nagging sense that someone else has, if not quite achieved a Linsanity-like hold on all audiences, at least made a sizable impact on his team and done much to change the way we judge said team’s destiny. It’s James Harden, a.k.a. the Black Ginobili, a.k.a. still everyone’s pick for Most Improved Player, even after Jeremy Lin’s arrival on the scene.
Harden, drafted third overall in 2009 by the Thunder, was once favorably and unfavorably compared to pre-injury Brandon Roy. He wasn’t known as the most physically gifted athlete (though the combine said otherwise); he was a big backcourt scorer who liked to take on the lead guard’s role when it came his way.
At the time, the pick was controversial; that was the Ricky Rubio draft and the despite the Thunder’s positionally inventive rotation, there just didn’t seem to be minutes for Harden. But the team was committed to Russell Westbrook, Sam Presti saw something in Harden, and well, Presti is always right. When Jeff Green was moved last year, Harden’s numbers went up, but not his minutes; he started to look like an overly legit sixth man. He also garnered tons of media attention during the playoffs as a purveyor of fine blipster memes and the owner of one of the NBA’s best post-Freeway beards. This year, he has joined with Durant and Westbrook to form the league’s highest-scoring trio. It’s a wonder no one has called them The Big Three yet.
I know I heard the Manu Ginobili comparison before this breakout year from someone way smarter than me, and probably laughed it off because Ginobili is such an idiosyncratic beast. As it turns out, Harden has that rare ability to let the ball flow through him while always staying ready to go on the attack, perhaps the defining feature of Ginobili’s game. It’s not the same as a point guard, who sets up the floor with scoring as one possible outcome. With Ginobili and Harden, it’s more like one of those fuzzy logic particles that is somehow "yes" and "no" at the same time.
Harden hasn’t exactly brought structure the Thunder’s offense, but he has been a calming influence, or at least brokered some sort of tacit understanding that he, Durant, and Russ all need their touches for the team to win. Ignoring one guy is easy, and can get frustrating for both parties. Throw in another, and there’s more of an obligation to others. Throw in someone like Harden, who can facilitate or go for his without missing a beat, and the Westbrook-Durant problem dissolves. Harden is a buffer, a neutralizer, and an impediment all at once. | positive |
Search for the Super Battery
PBS Airdate: February 1, 2017
DAVID POGUE (Host): They're in the news, in your pocket and on your mind. What's going wrong with our batteries?
NEWS ANCHOR: Turn this phone off.
DAVID POGUE: For the last few decades, batteries have powered a revolution in personal electronics, changing our lives, and now, they're headed for our cars…
Are electric cars becoming a thing?
DENISE GRAY (LG Chem Power, Inc.): Yes, they are.
DAVID POGUE: …even the grid…
DANIEL KAMMEN (University of California, Berkeley): Renewable energy means that we need storage.
DAVID POGUE: …but are we already pushing their limits?
THEODORE GRAY (Author): Anything that is able to release a lot of energy, that is a potentially dangerous thing.
DAVID POGUE: Or can they be better?
I'm not seeing any fireball.
MIKE ZIMMERMAN (Chief Executive Officer, Ionic Materials): We've got to work with people that want to introduce the true next-generation battery.
SHIRLEY MENG (University of California, San Diego): There is definitely a race: "Who will invent the next big battery technology?"
STEVE VISCO (Chief Executive Officer, PolyPlus Battery Company):The deck's stacked against all of us, but the rewards are so big.
DAVID POGUE: Can we beat the odds, as we Search for the Super Battery? Right now on NOVA.
The lowly battery, we barely notice you when you work, and we curse you when you don't. You're the "no show," the "missing ingredient," "not included." And when you die, a piece of us dies as well. Face it, battery, you have issues. But cheer up, my humble friend, things may be changing. Scientists all over the world are in a race to make you better, to make you powerful, to make you cleaner, to make you cheaper, to make you into a "Super Battery."
It won't be easy, but the stakes are huge: warmer temperatures, more severe storms, higher sea levels. What's causing all this climate change? Scientists virtually all agree, burning fossil fuels, the oil, gas and coal that have powered our civilization up to now. The challenge is to make the switch to other forms of energy, like renewables—solar and wind—and to trade our gasoline-burning vehicles for greener electric ones.
But all of these are missing the same critical component: the right energy storage, a battery. Can science transform this Clark Kent of energy into the super storage of tomorrow?
I'm David Pogue, and if that perfect future battery exists, I'm going to find it, because you never know when you might need one.
All right, castaway…deserted…nothing to survive with but my wits. Let's take inventory: luckily I have a knife; hmmm, a phone charging cable and, yes, a phone! This is going to be easy.
Hello, 911. Oh, no. No, no, no, no! It's dead!
To make this phone work, I need a portable source of electrical power. I need a battery.
Hmm, what do I remember about batteries? A battery always has a positive electrode, a negative electrode, with something called an electrolyte in between.
When there's an external connection between the two sides, the battery starts working. First, the negative side reacts with the electrolyte, and electrons are set free. As they travel through the circuit, they do useful things like produce light. When they reach the positive side, the electrons are reabsorbed.
Chemical reactions, where one material gives up electrons to another, are common. That's what happens when a fire burns or rust forms or even when you breathe.
So, building a battery isn't that hard. All you need are the right materials, like the kind of stuff you might find on a beach.
The ingredients for a battery: a negative electrode, an aluminum can; a positive electrode—in this case, I've got some charcoal in my pants; and finally, an electrolyte. I have some fresh, organic seawater.
The good news is this aluminum-can battery actually works. And if I had a device that could measure the voltage, I could show you. The bad news is I need 50 of them.
All right: 50 cans, one battery, one dead phone. This is the moment of truth.
It's charging!
Can I make a call on this thing? 9-1-1, hello? Oh, I'm so happy to hear your voice. Listen, I was on this cruise ship, and I fell overboard. I think somebody pushed me, and now I'm on this desert island. I don't know where I am. Can you…? Landmark? Look for a landmark?
Oh. Actually, never mind.
In truth, charging a smartphone from an aluminum-can battery is really difficult; my cheap low-power phone barely let me make one call. But the point is making a bad battery is easy; making a good battery, well, that's hard.
And I've asked the experts.
LEVI THOMPSON (University of Michigan): I don't know if I would call it a super battery, but to get to the next generation of battery, it would have to be higher energy density.
LYNN TRAHEY (Argonne National Laboratory): …energy density, which is how much energy you store in a given volume.
LEVI THOMPSON: What that means to the consumer is that you might be able to run that device for a longer period of time.
SHIRLEY MENG: Optimistically speaking, we should be able to double or triple the energy density in the next 10 years.
LYNN TRAHEY: Cost is another factor that is hugely important.
DENISE GRAY: Cost is very important.
STEVE VISCO: …and at the same time be safe.
LYNN TRAHEY: Safety…
VENKAT SRINIVASAN (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory):Safety and cost, as you can see, can play against each other, where you can make a very cheap battery, it can be very unsafe.
LYNN TRAHEY: So, those are just some of the ones that we look at all the time.
STEVE VISCO: And they're not easy things to deliver.
DAVID POGUE: So, that's a lot to ask of one battery. But finding that battery for electric vehicles may be critical to fighting climate change. Burning fossil fuels, like gasoline, emits carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat, causing warmer temperatures and climate instability.
Transportation accounts for about a quarter of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
GEORGE CRABTREE (Joint Center for Energy Storage Research):Cars and oil are linked very, very strongly. Something like 67 percent of oil goes for gasoline, and 90-some percent of transportation fuel is gasoline.
DENISE GRAY: The whole purpose of electric vehicle is to reduce the amount of carbon footprint, to reduce the amount of emissions.
DAVID POGUE: Electric vehicles could be good for the environment, but it's going to take a lot to pry the gasoline nozzle from our hands.
The funny thing is this isn't the first time that electric batteries and gasoline have fought to win our automotive hearts. At the turn of the century, no one knew which technology, electric or gas power, would dominate the nascent car industry. In fact, quiet electric-powered cars were a common sight on the streets of New York.
To learn more, I pay a visit to one of the foremost experts, or at least one of the funniest, Jay Leno. And he's got some insider info on the car of tomorrow.
JAY LENO (Car Enthusiast): I think this is the car of the future. This is how we'll all be getting around, electric.
DAVID POGUE: This is the car of the future?
JAY LENO: Well, this is a 1909 Baker electric. There's no pollution. This was high-tech, back in the day.
DAVID POGUE: Talk about back to the future. The 1909 Baker runs on energy stored in batteries.
Wow.
JAY LENO: You have six batteries in front.
DAVID POGUE: As with today's electric cars, you could charge the batteries by plugging the car in.
I'm going to stop at exactly 10 bucks.
In those days, there were charging stations all over New York City.
JAY LENO: You want to go for a ride and see what it's like?
DAVID POGUE: Yeah! This runs? You don't take it on…
JAY LENO: Of course it runs. You seem so stunned by…
DAVID POGUE: I like this. You've got the user's manual on the seat. That's a good, good sign.
JAY LENO: But I'll show you how, sort of, maintenance-free these are. All you do is turn the key, and you are, uh…
DAVID POGUE: That's the wheel?
JAY LENO: …ready to go.
DAVID POGUE: Oh, my god. No way. Oh, my god.
Even today, it's a great ride, really quiet, just the hum of an electric motor, but back then, electric cars still lost out. Their batteries weren't dependable and many were recalled.
By the time the problems had been sorted out, a former Detroit Edison employee, Henry Ford, had unleashed the extremely affordable gasoline-powered Model T.
A few years later, one of its big drawbacks, the hand-crank starter, was replaced with an electric one. That, and the growing availability of cheap gasoline in rural areas that lacked electricity eventually sealed the deal.
Today, thanks to climate change, electric cars are getting another shot. Success probably depends once again on the battery. The best version we've managed so far is probably the one in your pocket, the battery in your phone, which uses the element lithium.
MAN #1 IN VIDEO: The hoverboard is on fire.
DAVID POGUE: And, you also may have heard, they can be dangerous.
MAN #1 IN VIDEO: I am, Mom!
REPORTER: This happened at a gas station in Kentucky, when his e-cigarette battery exploded, literally lighting his pants on fire.
REPORTER: This morning, technology giant Samsung is planning a massive recall.
DAVID POGUE: Then, of course, there's the Samsung recall of over two-and-a-half million cellphones because of lithium battery fires.
So, if it can be so dangerous, why lithium? What makes that element both the belle of the battery ball, and, at times, a fiery mess?
To learn more about lithium, I visit my friend with all the "elementary" answers, mad scientist Theo Gray, at his mad-scientist workshop, on his Illinois farm.
Nice.
In the past, Theo has shown me the power of the elements.
Oh, the humanity.
So, what's the story on lithium?
It seems like once you start digging into the battery world you hear about lithium a lot, so, what is lithium?
THEO GRAY: Yeah, so, lithium is an element that, you know, happens to have properties that make it extraordinarily well-suited for delivering a lot of electrical power in a very small, light package.
DAVID POGUE: And I'm guessing, because we're in stormtrooper outfits, that it's something dangerous.
THEO GRAY: It is able to contain and release a lot of energy, and any time you have anything which is able to release energy, that is a potentially dangerous thing.
DAVID POGUE: Theo tells me you can learn a lot about lithium just by looking at its place on the periodic table. High up means it has a low atomic weight. That means lithium doesn't weigh much.
THEO GRAY: …which is, you know a great thing if you're trying to make a battery to fly a drone or, you know, just to have something that gives you a lot of power and doesn't weigh very much.
DAVID POGUE: In fact, even though it's a metal, it floats on water.
Oh, it's silver. Pretty. Thank you.
THEO GRAY: You notice again, it weighs nothing.
DAVID POGUE: Theo also points out that lithium sits on the far left of the table, in the column called the alkali metals. Compared to other elements, they readily give up an electron, exactly what you want for the negative electrode in a battery.
The lithium in my hand is doing just that, giving up an electron to oxygen in the air, creating the blackish lithium oxide on its surface.
Theo, would we call this oxidizing?
THEO GRAY: It is oxidizing; it is, basically, rusting. It is the exact same reaction as rust forming, it's just that, you know, iron rust is kind of this reddish flaky thing, lithium rust is sort of this kind of black coating.
DAVID POGUE: When Theo whips out some lithium foil, I get an even better look at the oxidizing process, thanks to the foil's greater surface area.
You see how it's darkening?
It's tarnishing. It's like tarnish.
THEO GRAY: And that's more or less the same reaction that would happen inside the battery, except, inside the battery, it's happening in a very controlled way.
DAVID POGUE: Wow, now it's not shiny and pretty anymore.
THEO GRAY: I bet it's getting hotter, too.
DAVID POGUE: It's super hot.
The lithium foil reacts quickly in the air, but if you really want to see it in action, try water.
THEO GRAY: That was a great one.
DAVID POGUE: Light-weight, and willing to give up electrons easily, lithium is nearly a perfect metal for use as the negative electrode in a battery. But it turns out, there's a big problem if you want that lithium-metal battery to be rechargeable.
Remember the three parts to a battery? Okay, I left some things out. In a lithium-metal battery and many others, there's a separator, like a piece of plastic, to keep the electrodes apart, because if they touch… More on that later.
That separator isn't completely solid, and here's why: when a lithium-metal battery discharges, of course there's a flow of negatively charged electrons through the wires on the outside, but inside the battery there's a flow of positively charged lithium atoms, or ions, in the electrolyte. They flow from the negative lithium-metal electrode, through the permeable separator, to the positive electrode, which, kind of like an apartment building, houses the ions in its layers.
Recharging the battery sends both the electrons and the ions back the other way. And that is when using lithium metal as an electrode runs into trouble. Scientists discovered that, over time, the returning lithium ions tend to clump on the metal surface, building spiky, tree-like structures, called dendrites.
GEORGE CRABTREE: They get rougher and rougher and rougher, until they stick out, like a finger, from the surface, and continue to get longer and longer and longer.
JEFF SAKAMOTO (University of Michigan): And eventually, those dendrites can reach the other side of the battery, which is the cathode or the positively charged electrode, and then there's a short circuit, instantaneous discharge.
DAVID POGUE: Instantly, electrons flood across, releasing the battery's energy, generating heat, which in turn can cause fire and explosions.
After years of trying, no one could find a solution to the lithium-metal conundrum, so scientists invented an alternative that became part of our lives in the early '90s, in products like, the Sony Handycam®. They called it the lithium-ion battery.
The key to its success was replacing the negative lithium-metal electrode with a new "apartment building," a carbon electrode that housed lots of individual lithium ions when the battery was charged.
Everything else still worked the same. Discharging the battery sent the ions through the electrolyte, over to the positive electrode; recharging the battery sent them back. But now, at least in theory, all the welcoming spaces in the layers of the negative electrode stopped them from piling up into dangerous dendrites. That meant lithium-ion batteries were far safer than lithium-metal ones, but at a price; they stored far less energy.
REPORTER: The F.A.A. has long warned airlines of the potential dangers presented by lithium batteries.
DAVID POGUE: And safer doesn't mean completely safe.
REPORTER: Lithium-ion batteries have already been linked to numerous cargo crashes.
DAVID POGUE: All those battery fires you've been hearing about in recent years? Those are lithium-ion batteries.
To learn more about what really goes into a lithium-ion battery, I traveled to Ann Arbor, to check out the University of Michigan's battery lab, part of its Energy Institute. Senior lab manager Greg Less has offered to show me around, and even build one with me.
Turns out, lithium-ion batteries come in different shapes.
Okay, so this we've seen before, this is like a watch battery.
GREG LESS (University of Michigan Battery Lab): Right.
DAVID POGUE: This is a little bigger than the standard double A.
GREG LESS: Absolutely, that's a 18650, and you might find that in a rechargeable power tool, an older-model laptop or the Tesla Roadster.
DAVID POGUE: But I've never seen this in a power tool.
GREG LESS: Well, no, there's actually a bunch of them in there, maybe six or seven, put together in series, inside of that brick that you plug into the bottom of the tool.
DAVID POGUE: Oh, okay, and this, what, for a phone?
GREG LESS: Yep, you'd find a battery like that either in your phone or a laptop or a tablet computer device.
DAVID POGUE: And you actually made all these in this room?
GREG LESS: Yes, we sure did.
DAVID POGUE: That's cool. Walk me through it, good sir.
GREG LESS: I happily will.
DAVID POGUE: Greg gives me a whirlwind tour of the process of making an 18650. He mixes up the ingredients for the electrode material, which gets baked onto foil and sliced into smaller rolls. Then, we enter through an airlock, into a special low-humidity "dry room." Any moisture from water inside a lithium-ion battery harms the electrolyte.
Once inside, we put the rolls on this crazy machine, which winds them together with a roll of plastic separator into a "jelly roll."
Let's take a closer look.
GREG LESS: So, we have a top layer that's the separator. We'll pull that off, then we have our copper and graphite negative electrode, another layer of separator, here, and then the positive electrode layer that we made together of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide.
DAVID POGUE: So, every lithium-ion battery that's in one of those cylinders, including the ones that are bundled together to make laptop batteries and power drill batteries, they're all, at heart, a bunch of these ribbons?
GREG LESS: That's correct. Just a series of ribbons wrapped up together.
DAVID POGUE: Wow.
After sticking the roll in a metal can, Greg injects the last key ingredient, the liquid electrolyte.
GREG LESS: The electrolyte is the cream in the jellyroll. It's what connects everything together. The electrolyte is a liquid solution that has lithium ions dissolved in it, and when we charge or discharge the battery, the electrolyte is what allows those ions to travel back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes.
DAVID POGUE: With the final steps of welding and crimping the top onto the metal can, we were done. Somehow, I expected more, because it's batteries like the 18650 or one of the other lithium-ion styles, like these flat ones in pouches, that will determine if electric cars are a viable option to replace gas-burning ones.
So far, in the U.S., plug-in electric cars haven't had much success. In 2015, they made up less than one percent of all new car sales.
VENKAT SRINIVASAN: There are a few reasons to be skeptical of electric cars. Probably, the biggest one is cost. But costs of electric car batteries are coming down dramatically, and they'll continue to come down for the next five years. They're going to find out that more and more people can afford to buy an electric car. So that problem is getting solved as we speak.
DAVID POGUE: The other concern is called "range anxiety:" "How far can you go on a single charge?" Surveys show Americans want to be able to go hundreds of miles, even though average daily auto use is only around 40.
But there is some justification; for most of the country, roadside charging stations are few and far between. Despite lackluster sales, carmakers continue to test the waters, with lower prices and longer ranges: like the Chevy Bolt, the first moderately priced all-electric car with a range of more than 200 miles, or the new Tesla Model 3, which has similar price and range.
Anticipating a large demand, Tesla plans to produce 500,000 cars a year in the latter half of the decade. But that would require the entire current worldwide production of lithium-ion batteries.
So, they've built this: the Gigafactory, in Nevada. When completed, it will cover more land than any other building in the world, and it will produce batteries, quote, "faster than bullets from a machine gun," unquote.
I stop in at Tesla's Palo Alto Headquarters to find out where all those batteries fit in the current Tesla Model S.
ALEXIS GEORGESON (Tesla Motors): So, the battery pack actually runs the length and the width of the vehicle. So, what you're seeing right under here is our battery pack.
DAVID POGUE: Oh, oh, the batteries are already in here?
ALEXIS GEORGESON: The batteries are in here.
DAVID POGUE: Now, if I could get in there with a screwdriver and rip that open, what would the actual batteries look like? Are they just a whole bunch of little double A's?
ALEXIS GEORGESON: They're little cells, yes. So, we've got about 8,000 individual cells in there.
DAVID POGUE: Eight-thousand?
ALEXIS GEORGESON: Yes.
DAVID POGUE: And do, by any chance, do they look like this?
In fact they do.
Early on, Tesla standardized on the 18650, because of its availability. But at the Gigafactory, they'll switch to a bigger version, which they claim is the "best and cheapest in the world."
Other electric carmakers prefer the flatter pouch batteries, like those made here, for G.M., at LG Chem's plant, in Holland, Michigan.
While I was there, I stopped in to see Denise Gray. She's the President and C.E.O. of an LG Chem subsidiary that does battery research and design.
So, we've heard for years that electric cars are coming soon, but are they finally, at least almost here?
This plant makes batteries exclusively for electric cars, right? Like are electric cars becoming a thing?
DENISE GRAY: Yes, they are. Yes they are. We're still in the early stages, but we're making great progress, and I think we are accelerating down that plan of having more and more electrified powertrains on the road.
DAVID POGUE: How many Americans will buy electric cars, or how soon, remains to be seen, but with more and more electric vehicles on the road, engineers are racing to make the lithium-ion batteries they contain even better: cheaper to produce, longer lasting, and, most importantly, safer.
I travel to New Mexico to visit the Sandia National Laboratories. Scientists Leigh Anna Steele and Josh Lamb show me the Battery Abuse Testing Lab. Here, they do all the things those warning labels tell you not to do with batteries, to understand how they fail. They take me past a two-ton blast door to the testing torture chambers, where they puncture, over-charge, burn, short-circuit and drown batteries.
LEIGH ANNA STEELE (Sandia National Laboratories): The walls, ceilings and floors of this building are all made out of concrete reinforced with rebar, anywhere from 12 to 14 inches thick.
DAVID POGUE: Today, they're performing a crush test, where they'll slowly smash the middle of a battery with up to 15,000 pounds of force, the sort of thing that could happen in an electric car crash.
JOSHUA LAMB (Sandia National Laboratories): This is a hydraulic lift, here. So, it's going to, actually, start lifting up, and that impactor there is going to start crushing the battery.
DAVID POGUE: After a final check of the set-up, we are ready to go.
LEIGH ANNA STEELE: Okay, Chris, are we ready to start the test? All right, the test is going now, it sounds like, so we can hear… We heard hydraulics just turned on a little bit.
DAVID POGUE: On the hydraulic lift, the battery slowly rises into the plunger.
LEIGH ANNA STEELE: You can start seeing…the gap is starting to close in between the plunger and the battery.
DAVID POGUE: You can see the plunger is crushing the inner battery cells a surprising amount, still with no reaction, but we're getting close.
LEIGH ANNA STEELE: So, you'll start hearing some hissing. That's the battery venting when it actually starts to go into failure.
DAVID POGUE: That's why we weren't standing in that room?
LEIGH ANNA STEELE: Exactly.
JOSHUA LAMB: So, all that energy that's stored in that battery, it's just discharging all at once.
DAVID POGUE: When a lithium-ion battery cell uncontrollably overheats, it's called "thermal runaway."
Leigh Anna and Josh break it down for me.
The plunger crushed the inner cells of the battery until a negative and positive electrode made contact, a short circuit. Just like when dendrites short out a battery, electrons flooded across in a massive discharge, creating heat, which then turned some of the liquid electrolyte into gas. That burst open the battery's foil pouch, and then the vaporized electrolyte ignited. That's known as "venting with flame."
All the fire and heat set off reactions in other nearby cells, sending them into thermal runaway, as well. In the end, the fire reached a temperature of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, easily hot enough to melt the aluminum used in the battery.
Leigh Anna and Josh show me some video of other tests. This is a battery that's getting overcharged, and this is a nail going into the center of a group of 18650s. The center cell fails, gradually taking down the rest of them with it.
From the videos and having seen it here myself, one thing seems obvious: if there were a way to get rid of the vaporizing flammable electrolyte, that would be a big step toward making these batteries safer.
And I'm not the only one who thinks so. Meet Mike Zimmerman. He's a Tufts University professor and materials scientist. About five years ago, he got interested in lithium-ion batteries, thinking there had to be a safer electrolyte.
Mike's background is in plastics, and I've come to take a look at what he's invented.
So, this is your battery?
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: That's the battery.
DAVID POGUE: It looks like any other lithium battery inside one of these.
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: It's the same. Same format.
DAVID POGUE: Same voltage?
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: Same voltage.
DAVID POGUE: You think this is an unusual battery?
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: It's a battery that is much safer than conventional batteries. And upon any damage, any puncture, any cutting it, it will not catch on fire.
DAVID POGUE: Did you say "any cutting it?"
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: Correct.
DAVID POGUE: Can I make a cut in this?
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: Yes.
DAVID POGUE: Really?
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: Yes.
DAVID POGUE: It's not going to jet fire into my face?
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: It will not.
DAVID POGUE: Before I do that, let's consider these examples, from YouTube, of folks poking at lithium-ion batteries. They reveal that it doesn't take much to create a dangerous short circuit, with disastrous results.
And now, is it my turn?
Big or little?
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: Whatever you want.
DAVID POGUE: I'm alive! Wow. Look at that! And guess what? The lights are still on.
This is like a Houdini thing. I mean, this is like, I'm going to make a doily. It's still on. Come on! I'm going to make you a little paper doll.
So, what's the trick? Compared to a typical lithium-ion battery, Mike's replaced the liquid electrolyte and the separator with his special plastic to create a completely solid battery. Unlike the liquid electrolyte, which easily catches fire, Mike's plastic is flame-retardant. And even though it's solid, amazingly, it allows lithium ions to pass through it at a rate equal to or better than current liquid electrolytes.
And here's the best part: the plastic physically prevents dendrites from shorting out the battery. That means that Mike can go back to a lithium-metal negative electrode, potentially doubling his battery's energy density.
Here's another demo, using an iPad with its original battery removed and, in its place, one of Mike's that's even bigger than the last one, cut to pieces, and I'm going to stick a screwdriver through it, like you saw in those YouTube videos.
Here we go. So far, I'm not seeing any fireball. Okay, you've done it. You've made a battery that doesn't explode when pierced. At the very least, I would expect to see some smoke. I would expect to feel some heat. There's nothing.
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: Yeah. It's because of the solid plastic electrolyte. It's not flammable, and it's very insulative. It doesn't get too hot and it doesn't burn.
DAVID POGUE: And it keeps working.
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: Well, that was an unintended consequence.
DAVID POGUE: Can I do it again? My mortgage is too high, and the tax rates are insane, and I dented my fender. All right, now it's not going to turn on, now. Oh, come on. Come on. That's it. A damaged battery, and yet no smoke, no flame, no sparks. Do not try this with your iPad battery.
So far, Mike's kept his company's work mostly under wraps. This, in fact, is the first television interview he's given on it. But there's still more development to go before your new smartphone makes use of it.
And if I were one of your critics, certainly there would be something I would attack you for. There's got to be something. It can't be too good to be true.
MIKE ZIMMERMAN: Right. I think that development, you know, is never done. We have to do a lot of reliability testing, and the scaling up aspect of this, it's going to be a lot of work to scale it up. So, we've got to work with people that want to do that and want to introduce a true next-generation battery.
DAVID POGUE: Whether Mike's solid-state lithium battery will come to market anytime soon is hard to know. If it does, and if it can double the energy density of the batteries in electric cars, that would be revolutionary.
But electrifying cars, as a strategy to battle climate change, comes with a big caveat. To have real impact, the source of their electricity needs to be green as well. And that means cleaning up the grid that charges them.
If you're like me, you don't even think about it. You flip on a light switch or you turn on something plugged into the wall, where does the electricity come from? When was it created? How does it arrive at your house at exactly the right time? How does the electrical grid work?
DANIEL KAMMEN: The grid has been called the most complex machine humans have ever built. It is the largest, the most extensive, has the most parts, and it also has a beautiful simplicity. It's driven by this very simple formula: energy in must equal energy out, at every moment in time.
GEORGE CRABTREE: You have to generate electricity over here, at the power station, at exactly and instantaneously the same rate that you use it over here, on all the customers.
GUENTER CONZELMANN (Argonne National Laboratory): Electricity is essentially instantaneous. So, it's a fraction of a millisecond or microsecond old, because it travels, basically, at the fraction of the speed of light across the wire. So, we have to make it instantaneously. The moment you want it, I have to make it.
DAVID POGUE: Matching the demand means constantly ramping up and down the amount of electricity generated, for example, by turning up or down gas-fired power plants, or spilling more water over dams, or even firing up an old diesel plant just to meet an hour of peak demand. It's a constant complicated dance.
Now, as we try to shift away from power plants running fossil fuels, the complicated dance that matches generation with demand has found some new partners: renewables, like wind and solar. They can range in size from a huge wind farm, generating hundreds of megawatts of power, to the small solar array on your neighbor's house. The dance just got more complicated.
GUENTER CONZELMANN: We're taking a complicated system and making it a lot more complicated. We have to be able to meet the demands, still, when the sun doesn't shine, when the clouds come through and the output falls, when the wind dies down.
DAVID POGUE: If these new renewable but intermittent sources of electricity are going to play a major role on the grid, they require a new player: energy storage.
SHIRLEY MENG: I don't think renewable penetration can go higher without a robust energy storage solution, that's for sure.
DAVID POGUE: In the U.S., there's already a little energy storage on the grid, equal to about two percent of our generating capacity. Most of it looks like this reservoir, in Bath County, Virginia. It's been called the largest battery in the world, but it's not like any battery you've seen. The system's called "pumped hydro," and it operates like a rechargeable hydro-electric dam.
During the day, when there's high demand for power, the electric company lets the water flow from an upper reservoir to a lower one, spinning turbines and generating electricity. But at night, when there's low demand, they use the excess electricity generated by other plants to pump water back up to the higher reservoir, "recharging" it.
Today, about 99 percent of all grid storage in United States is pumped hydro. It would be a relatively inexpensive way to store excess energy from renewables for later use, except for one problem. You need the right geography for the site, with changes in elevation. And even then, creating new ones can raise environmental concerns. So, the search for solutions for grid energy storage is still on.
Just outside San Francisco, in the Bay Area, one company is giving it their own spin: Amber Kinetics. They sell an energy-storage system built around massive spinning disks, called flywheels. The principle is simple: electricity powers a motor that spins up the heavy flywheel. Now, energy is stored in the flywheel's momentum. To convert that back into electricity, the flywheel engages a generator, its momentum turning the generator's shaft. As the flywheel slows, the generator creates electricity.
Needing both weight and strength, Amber Kinetics makes their flywheel out of steel.
How much do these babies weigh?
SETH SANDERS (Amber Kinetics): This is about a 5,000-pound part.
DAVID POGUE: Wow. And how fast is it going to be spinning?
SETH SANDERS: In some good number of thousands of r.p.m.
DAVID POGUE: In a finished unit, the flywheel sits inside a welded steel chamber that tightly seals shut, so it can spin in a near vacuum to reduce friction with the air. They also reduce friction using a giant magnet mounted above the flywheel, which lifts it upward, removing most of its weight, so it rests only lightly on its support bearings.
SETH SANDERS: And so, the friction in the mechanical bearing is partly determined by, "how much force is the bearing supporting?" And so we make the force extremely light.
DAVID POGUE: All of this adds up to breaking new ground. Flywheels have been used on the grid before, but mostly to store energy only for seconds or minutes.
Amber Kinetics' flywheels can store energy for up to four hours, for example, capturing the energy generated by a solar array during the day for use in the evening, a process called "time-shifting."
Seth shows me what a nearly complete flywheel unit looks like.
There's a flywheel in here that you made? But is it spinning right now?
SETH SANDERS: No, it's at rest now.
DAVID POGUE: If it were spinning, would I hear it?
SETH SANDERS: You would not be able to hear it, because the part is balanced to a very high degree, and the residual vibration is minuscule.
DAVID POGUE: As a grid storage solution, flywheels, a kind of electro-mechanical battery, have an advantage over chemical batteries. They don't wear out for decades. The same can't be said for lithium-ion batteries, but there are a lot of those getting put to work on the grid as well.
This is Tehachapi, California, near the Mojave Desert, home to some of the oldest and largest wind farms in the country. But the wind blows strongest at night, when demand for electricity is at its lowest. In 2014, Southern California Edison installed a $50-million energy storage system that uses lithium-ion batteries.
DOUG KIM (Southern California Edison): What we want to do is to be able to use this to smooth out, firm up the output of those, so it's much more predictable; for example, when the wind blows during the nighttime, capture that energy and then use it during the daytime, when the demand is high.
DAVID POGUE: Lithium-ion batteries have made inroads into grid storage, but they're still expensive. And part of the premium paid is for their light weight, which matters for electric cars and portable electronics but maybe not for the grid.
Here, in the Pittsburgh area, battery scientist Jay Whitacre has taken a different approach. He's sacrificed lithium-ion's lightweight portability to create a battery that is cheaper and safer. It's nicknamed, the saltwater battery.
Nice job.
We're going to retrace his steps, starting at square one: the periodic table: Ra, Ba, La…
All right. So these are the elements that make up our world?
JAY WHITACRE (Aquion Energy): Mmm-hmm.
DAVID POGUE: Which elements can you use to make a battery?
JAY WHITACRE: Really, almost any of them. If they have any reaction potential at all, you can make electrodes out of them, and they'll store energy. That's not that hard, but that's not really the question you want to ask, right? You want to ask, "Which of these elements can we use to really scale large, like, really big energy storage, to solve the world's problems?" Right? And to answer that question, we really get rid of most of this. Like this is gone. We slide this out. And then we start thinking about what's called "crustal abundance."
DAVID POGUE: Crustal abundance?
JAY WHITACRE: Crustal abundance.
DAVID POGUE: Crustal abundance is an estimate of the availability of an element in the earth's outer layer, its crust. The higher the percentage, the more available it is, which translates into cheaper and probably better for the environment, since it's more common.
JAY WHITACRE: So, if you can pick from crustily-abundant materials or elements, you're probably going to have the best shot at having a low-cost, environmentally safe battery.
DAVID POGUE: I'm always in favor of crustily abundant.
JAY WHITACRE: So, silicon—these will not surprise you—you have carbon, you have hydrogen, you have zinc. These are in no particular order, but you'll recognize all of them. They're very common materials. They make up everyday life, oxygen and a couple of really important ones. You've got sodium, which is, obviously, everywhere in the ocean. You've got potassium, which is a heavy biological factor, and lithium, which you might not think is crustily abundant but actually is. And these were the ones that I started looking at, in 2007, when I was trying to figure out what elements I would use, to put together in any which way, to create something that was going to be functional.
DAVID POGUE: Out of this initial collection of elements, Jay created a battery that had a sodium manganese oxide positive electrode and a carbon negative electrode. When the battery was charged, sodium ions left the positive electrode to gather at the negative carbon electrode; when discharged, they would return to the positive electrode. With each charge and discharge, they shuttled back and forth.
The electrolyte—sodium sulfate salt, dissolved in water—gave the battery its nickname, the saltwater battery.
From there, Jay began tweaking his recipe. The end result was a battery far less energy-dense than lithium-ion, but non-flammable, non-toxic and cheaper.
JAY WHITACRE: Great. So this is a barrel of our active material. This happens to be our cathode material. It's a manganese oxide base system, and it's really simple. It basically looks like dark sand or dark dirt.
DAVID POGUE: Listen, Jay, I've been to a few battery factories in my time,…
JAY WHITACRE: I'm sure you have.
DAVID POGUE: …and I've never been allowed to walk up to a barrel in a non-humidity-controlled room. What? Are you just really crude here or is this somehow…
JAY WHITACRE: No. Well, the key difference between this battery and probably all the others you've visited is that we use water as an electrolyte.
DAVID POGUE: Water changes everything in a battery. On the downside, it limits the voltage: too high and the water splits into hydrogen and oxygen gas, but it also means you don't need the expensive low-humidity dry rooms required to make lithium-ion batteries. And, of course, water is nonflammable, safer.
JAY WHITACRE: In fact, the salts that we use, the electrolyte salts are flame inhibitors.
DAVID POGUE: Is this toxic, this thing here?
JAY WHITACRE: This is not toxic at all.
DAVID POGUE: I could eat this cathode material?
JAY WHITACRE: It is biologically consumable. Yeah. I wouldn't recommend . It's going to taste a little salty to you, a little weird, but, yeah. There you go.
DAVID POGUE: Hmm. Pumpkin spice. Yeah, it's totally fine. It's not even salty.
JAY WHITACRE: No. It's just like sand.
DAVID POGUE: Yeah.
JAY WHITACRE: It is basically sand.
DAVID POGUE: It's actually a little better than sand, as a frequent sand eater.
These days, Aquion Energy is churning out batteries in a former Sony Trinitron factory outside of Pittsburgh. Here, Jay's emphasis on safe ingredients saves a lot of money in manufacturing.
The electrode material I taste-tested is pressed into cookie-like wafers, which, in turn, get assembled by these "pick-and-place" machines from the food industry, used in packaging; all without the tight humidity and dust controls found in lithium-ion battery factories.
Already, saltwater batteries are part of hundreds of solar installations around the world, ranging from utility projects to individual homes. But Jay sees himself at the beginning of a massive undertaking to bring energy storage to the grid.
JAY WHITACRE: This is not a small-scale project. To get storage to be relevant in the world, you have to make huge amounts of it, and this is just a drop in the bucket. We're just getting started.
DAVID POGUE: On that, everyone agrees. If we want energy storage to integrate renewables into the grid, we're woefully short on quantity.
In 2010, Bill Gates noted that all the batteries on Earth could store less than 10 minutes of the world's electricity production. To fill the gap, we'll need systems that can scale up easily.
Levi Thompson, at the University of Michigan, introduces me to one, a rechargeable battery unlike any other: the flow battery. He explains that a typical battery is a closed system.
LEVI THOMPSON: And this is all sealed, so, everything that you need is in there. It's like a cake. You put everything in there, you get everything you want. Every battery kind of looks like this.
DAVID POGUE: Every battery but a flow battery, says Thompson. Instead of a closed system, a flow battery has external tanks containing two chemicals. They're pumped past each other through a chamber. Because of a special thin membrane, they can't mix, but in close proximity, they do react, generating electricity.
The capacity of a flow battery depends on the size of the external tanks that hold the chemicals. Bigger tanks, bigger battery, more energy.
LEVI THOMPSON: Flow systems are, for large-scale applications, much more efficient, much more cost-effective than sealed systems. It's a much better solution to the problem.
GEORGE CRABTREE: Flow batteries will surely play a role in the grid. This is what they have always been designed for and thought of as: the grid battery.
DAVID POGUE: Some flow batteries are already in operation, like this one at Fort Devens, a U.S. Army installation, in Massachusetts. The battery helps integrate solar generation, reduces peak demand and improves power quality.
And research continues, like the work of these two members of Levi's team.
It's early days, but with more development, flow batteries might just turn out to be the answer for grid storage. This is something that's shown to work, and people are actually using it, but that's not the mindblower, so much as where it could be in 40 years.
LEVI THOMPSON: Where it could go. Absolutely.
DANIEL KAMMEN: Flow batteries are perhaps the newest exciting entrant, but I would expect, over the next decade, there's going to be a whole series of these new exciting entrants into the field.
DAVID POGUE: So in the end, we still don't know if the grid Super Battery will be one technology or a mix of pumped hydro, chemical batteries, flywheels, flow batteries and others. But if we really want to integrate renewables into the grid and trade our carbon-spewing vehicles for greener ones, and do it on the massive scale required to fight climate change, one thing's for sure: energy storage, and lots of it, will be in our future. And so will the ongoing Search for the Super Battery. | positive |
Apple is preparing to start construction on a new $50 million data center project as demand for its iCloud business—and all of those photos, documents, and music that it stores for its customers—continues to grow.
A contractor working for Apple (aapl) submitted and then withdrew a permit earlier this month to build another data center complex codenamed Project Isabel at the company’s massive campus in Reno Technology Park.
An Apple spokesperson declined to comment.
The new 372,893-square-foot data center would include a build out of eight clusters as well as an administration building, garage and generator yard, according to a building permit accessed using Buildzoom, an online service that matches property owners with contractors.
The building permit was submitted to Washoe County on February 2 and withdrawn on the same day, according to the county’s records. Washoe County confirmed to Fortune that the permit was withdrawn by the contractor on the same day. Notes attached to the permit said changes could be made and the permit might be submitted again.
Project Isabel is located on a 345-acre parcel; the project is valued at $50.7 million.
Mike Kazmierski, president and CEO of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, also declined to comment about Apple’s specific plans.
Northern Nevada, particularly the Reno-Sparks area on the western border has become a hotspot for data centers because of its abundance of land, climate, proximity to a fiber optic network, and access to clean energy sources such as solar and geothermal, Kazmierski said.
Switch, which already operates a massive cloud center in Las Vegas, is building the largest data center in the world at the nearby Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center. The Switch center, which sits on a 2,000-acre campus, is designed for up to 7.2 million square feet of data center space and 650 megawatts of power.
“We also have other data center projects that are looking at the region now,” Kazmierski said. “In the world of data, it’s just going to continue to explode; and we’re more and more a player in that data center world.”
Apple, Rackspace and Switch are the biggest data center operations in Northern Nevada.
Apple’s first set of data centers to be constructed at the Reno Technology Park—dubbed Project Mills—was approved in 2012. Apple received $89 million in tax abatements over 10 years from the Washoe County Commission in 2012 for its data center project.
Before the buildings were completed, Apple applied for permits to build another data center complex codenamed Project Huckleberry that is adjacent to Project Mills.
Now, Apple appears ready to begin building again. But because the company applied for permits and then withdrew those permits the same day, it’s unclear if the project’s size and scope might change.
Under One Roof
Apple’s iCloud business stores users’ contacts, calendars, photos, and documents and keeps that information up-to-date, across all of their Apple devices. Third-party apps can also use iCloud to store and sync documents.
That’s a lot of data.
An Apple white paper released in May 2016 revealed that the company actually relies, in part, on Amazon Web Services’ and Microsoft’s Azure public cloud services. Businesses that don’t want to invest in their own data center infrastructure can rent out compute power, storage, and networking bandwidth from public cloud companies like AWS.
But as Fortune‘s Barb Darrow noted last year, noting reports that Apple might move some workloads to Google’s cloud, given Apple’s famous insular nature, it’s hard to see it relying on these big players in the long term. It seemed more likely that Apple was using third-party clouds as a stopgap while it got its own cloud data centers in order.
It’s not surprising that Apple has been spending millions of dollars to build out its own data center infrastructure.
The Data Center-Renewable Energy Connection
Information contained in the submitted—and then withdrawn—permit does align with Apple’s recent renewable energy activities. NV Energy, which is owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, announced in January that it had reached an agreement with Apple to build 200 megawatts of additional solar energy in Nevada by early 2019. The projects are meant to support Apple’s renewable energy needs for its Reno data center, NV Energy said at the time.
Apple is investing in solar as part of its ambitious pledge to power all of its operations worldwide with renewable energy.
As of January 2016, the company was sourcing or generating enough renewable energy to cover 93% of the electricity it uses in its facilities worldwide. Every one of Apple’s data centers is run completely on clean power, which includes energy generated by solar panels, biogas, and wind.
The manufacturing and transport of Apple products accounts the majority of the company’s carbon footprint. However, it’s investment in renewable energy—by either buying from a power provider or in some cases, building its own solar farm—has helped reduce its reliance on fossil fuel energy to power its facilities to nearly zero.
As demand for cloud services rise, so does the need for data centers. To maintain its 100% clean-powered data center goal, Apple has to looks for new sources of renewable energy when it adds more facilities.
The project with NV Energy will bring the power provider’s total to more than 529 megawatts of new solar resources in construction in Nevada or under review for approval. | positive |
NEW YORK – Complex Networks, Film 45, Markay Media, and NASCAR champions Hendrick Motorsports have teamed up on an original eight-part documentary series that journeys deep inside the teamwork, sophistication and heart that makes stock car racing an American institution.
Road to Race Day goes behind the scenes with Hendrick Motorsports during the 2016 season, delivering unprecedented access to witness the passion, determination, and talent that propels its superstar drivers - Kasey Kahne, Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. - and crew to be the winningest team in professional stock car racing. Directed by Cynthia Hill (A Chef’s Life, Private Violence) and executive produced by Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, Patriots Day), Road to Race Day premieres on Complex Networks’ Rated Red available on go90 on Wednesday, July 19.
“At the heart of the series is a team of people who share an incredible passion for and dedication to stock car racing and a drive to win. Hendrick Motorsports believed in us and gave us unparalleled access to share their story, and we’re grateful to them for inviting us into their family,” Berg said. “Road to Race Day adds a personal dimension to the sport, and it spotlights the passionate individuals who make Hendrick Motorsports one of the most successful racing teams of all time.”
Hill added, “Stock car racing is an essential part of the American fabric. My team and I wanted to demystify the sport and its unique culture while celebrating the rich personalities whose lives intersect on race day.”
“When we committed to the project, our goal was to give people something that looked and felt unlike anything we’d ever done,” said Marshall Carlson, president of Hendrick Motorsports. “We knew it would require an unprecedented level of access, and that proved to be true. Whether the viewer is a NASCAR fan or not, we think they’ll be surprised and walk away with a different impression of our team and sport. We’re grateful to Cynthia, Peter and everyone involved for their enthusiasm about the series and the incredible work that went into making it.”
“Cynthia Hill, Film 45 and everyone at Hendrick Motorsports have delivered riveting storytelling that humanizes the sport and brings to life all that’s involved in getting to the finish line,” said Rich Antoniello, chief executive officer of Complex Networks. “The series goes deep into the culture of racing to show the emotion and excitement of the sport, and we’re thrilled to be working with Film 45 again and honored that Hendrick Motorsports entrusted us with sharing their story with audiences.”
Founded by Rick Hendrick in 1984, Hendrick Motorsports has earned nearly 250 points-paying race victories and an all-time record 12 championships in the premier NASCAR Cup Series. The organization fields four teams on the circuit with star drivers Kahne, Elliott, Earnhardt and 2016 champion Johnson.
Each weekly episode showcases the energy of racing through the stories of four superstars of the sport and their colorful teams. Strategy, preparation, and focus for each race are propelled by intensity and emotion as Road to Race Day crisscrosses the country to capture each dramatic moment as it unfolds.
In 2016, Elliott, heir to the car formerly driven by racing legend Jeff Gordon, began his rookie-of-the-year campaign, while veteran Earnhardt faced one of the most challenging seasons of his storied career. Johnson continued to chase his record-tying seventh championship, as Kahne fought to get back to Victory Lane. From North Carolina to Northern California, Road to Race Day follows these merchants of speed, their crew chiefs and teams as they confront ever-changing rules and unrivaled competition at more than 200 mph.
Road to Race Day is directed by Cynthia Hill. The series is executive produced by Peter Berg, Matthew Goldberg, and Brandon Carroll for Film 45; Cynthia Hill for Markay Media; and Justin Killion and Melanie Moreau are executive producers for Complex Networks.
Complex Networks and Film 45 have previously teamed on the critically-acclaimed series QB1: Beyond the Lights for go90, which has been renewed for a second and third season. Road to Race Day is the latest Complex Networks original series in a growing lineup of high profile shows that also includes: Thanksgiving created by Dan Powell and Bethany Hall and starring Chris Elliott and Amy Sedaris; Embeds from Megyn Kelly and Michael DeLuca; Top Grier starring Hayes Grier; and Drive Share created by and starring Paul Scheer and Rob Huebell.

Make sure that your unit is never flush with the wall. Not allowing air to flow around the unit will cause the motor to overheat and burn out over time. Freezers drain. Always check the drain pain and make sure that the drain tube is not blocked. A blockage could ruin your machine. Self-defrosting freezers use 40 percent more energy than ones you have to manually defrost. However, defrosting your freezer can be a day-long chore and should be taken into consideration. Temperature does matter. Many new models are advertising that they keep food at -20 degrees. While this is impressive, it is also not necessary. In fact, it will use more power and cause a majority of your food to get freezer burn. Most storage containers cannot protect food at this temperature. Your food will remain frozen and not be subjected to freezer burn a 0 degrees. The only real difference between a chest style freezer and a stand-up freezer is the amount of floor space that they take up in your home. Both freezers perform in the same manner and several consumer studies have shown there is no real difference in energy consumption or use. If your freezer suddenly stops working, check the plug and the breaker. Losing power is the leading cause of food loss in a standalone freezer.

Communication problems often lead to relationship issues, which is no great surprise. If you can't communicate with your partner, how can you cultivate a sense of closeness and love?
Still, basic communication challenges often lead to broken relationships. It makes you wonder what everyone's doing wrong. We're going to cover five common communication omissions that threaten relationships.
1. Not asking unique, personal questions
"How was your day?"
There's nothing implicitly wrong with the above question. But, if repeated frequently, it lacks sincerity and shows a lack of effort. Many couples go through the motions of social platitudes because they don't know what else to say, but this kind of filler talk can be surprisingly devastating. Why?
When you say something canned, it implies you're doing it out of social duty, like nodding your head when you accidentally lock eyes with someone. "Oh, I guess I'm supposed to ask how your day was now.” This is not the message you want to send to someone you love.
When you say something unique, however, it's not only more engaging, it communicates: "I care about you." Try asking things like, "Did you learn anything new today?" or, "What made you smile today?"
The latter question is especially poignant because it shows that you're taking an active interest in their emotional well-being, and they'll get to relive the happiest part of their day. It's a better way to get a real conversation started, too.
2. Not stating the obvious
"I love you. Your beauty is what makes the birds sing (obviously)."
Sometimes, we need to hear the obvious. It's not enough to tell someone you love them once, because later they'll wonder, "But how about now?" The same goes for compliments. When our needs aren't being met, we'll look for it in other places, which can be a slippery slope.
3. Not communicating a problem or harsh truth
Strong relationships are built on the foundation of being able to talk about and talk through anything. The more difficult, awkward conversations you have, the more you'll trust each other.
4. Not communicating at all (or being passive aggressive)
Passive aggressiveness might be the most effective way to end a relationship. The very first rule of communication — the one that overrides any communication tip you hear — is that you have to DO IT. Not speaking to each other, only speaking defensively, and hiding behind thoughtless platitudes are all ways of shutting down communication channels. And when communication stops, whether literally or practically, that relationship will begin to die. Think about that the next time you're about to teach someone a lesson with silence.
Communication is the true life source of relationships. Keep it going and do it effectively, and you will overcome the obstacles all couples face, and after each victory, you'll be even closer. If you find that you never fight or argue, that's great, but be careful, because it may be a sign that you're not fully communicating with each other in order to "keep the peace."
5. Not listening and empathizing
When you hear the word "communication," do you imagine someone speaking or silently listening? Most of us would imagine speaking, but the key to communication is in understanding the other person. When both people seek to understand the other person, communication just works better. When both people are focused on communicating their own thoughts, who is there to listen?
Empathizing is another key component of relational communication. Empathy is understanding and joining in your partner's emotional state. And think about how important that is: if you don't show empathy, they will feel alone in their hardships. Many people, myself included, often jump into advice mode too quickly. But when people share their problems, they often don't need advice; they need emotional support.
Make the choice right now to commit to healthy communication practices in your relationship, and work together to improve as a team.
The first step: Share this with your significant other, and tell them which area(s) you personally intend to improve upon for them. | positive |

If you were worried about missing the live-action Attack on Titan films, the first of which is premiering in Japan this September, FUNimation has you covered. The distributor officially announced today that they’ve acquired the distribution rights for the films in North, Central and South America. But wait, it gets better! They’ll also be holding the world premiere in Hollywood ahead of the Japanese release of the film on July 14.
Unfortunately, as you can imagine, the premiere is rather exclusive. Celebrities and media are invited to attend, but if you’re looking to nab a ticket yourself you’re in luck, FUNimation will make a limited number of tickets available through their social channels. It sounds like they will be available through giveaways, but we will not know until it happens next month. In the meantime, they have also announced some related programming at Comic-Con International in San Diego this year.
Shinji Higuchi, the director of the film, will be on-hand for an autograph session on Sunday, July 12 at 1:00 at the FUNimation booth. Neat! In case you were wondering, the film will premiere in the usual spot for FUNimation — at the legendary Egyptian theatre. The date for wider screening has yet to be revealed, but we will keep you posted if we hear anything.
Attack on Titan will be released in two parts in Japan, with the first to premiere on August 1 and the second to follow on September 19. | positive |
Marinette County District Attorney Allen Brey with hundreds of backlogged cases in a conference room in his office. (Photo: Rick Gebhard / Marinette EagleHerald)
Career prosecutor Allen Brey makes it clear he's not retiring from his post as Marinette County district attorney: He's quitting — in protest or self-preservation or both.
"Morally, I can't continue working in a system that treats victims this way," Brey said, referring to the growing backlog of cases, now more than 400, that he and his assistant prosecutor can't get to quickly enough despite working 50- to 60-hour weeks.
And a family intervention about his work/life imbalance — including a stern talk from his 87-year-old father in Florida — finally set his reluctant resignation in motion.
"He opened my eyes," Brey recalled. The district attorney said his dad asked him if it really made sense to be in his office Sunday mornings, instead of at church.
"It had been a gradual creep to 60 and 70 hours a week," Brey said. "I hadn't realized I was out of whack. I think my nose was too close to the bark to see the tree, much less the forest."
Brey, 62, is not the first or only elected DA to complain about chronic underfunding and short staffing. Studies have repeatedly shown the ranks of state prosecutors are about 140 short of standards and yet no governor since Tommy Thompson has approved a budget for additional prosecutors, even though law enforcement agencies have grown and send more cases.
Re-elected in November, Brey sent his resignation letter to Gov. Scott Walker in late March. His last day was Friday. He said he plans to "get reacquainted with my family," then look for a new job.
"I'll miss the good people I work with," he said. But he won't miss having to tell crime victims — people he often runs into given the county's size — that it might take two years or more for a case to resolve. "It's unconscionable, (and) I understand why they're angry."
Walker will appoint someone to fill out the rest of Brey's four-year term. The only finalist had been Derek Dominguez, an assistant prosecutor in Wood and Eau Claire counties since graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School in 2012. But Brey's assistant, LeShea Morrow, recently applied and would likely be considered a favorite for the appointment.
Marinette County has about 43,000 residents, but the same two positions it had when Brey joined the office as the assistant district attorney in 1993. There's also one clerk, two legal secretaries and a victim-witness coordinator.

Bigger counties have found other ways around the dearth of state funding. In Milwaukee, about a third of the DA's office is paid for by outside grants.
In Ozaukee County, the population grew 30% since 1979 but still had just the elected district attorney and two assistant prosecutors in 2015, when the board approved $90,000 for an assistant county attorney whom District Attorney Adam Gerol designated a special prosecutor.
Eau Claire and Brown counties made similar moves to fund what's supposed to be a state function, but the moves are hardly enough. In Brown County, DA David Lasee told a Green Bay TV station in March that his 15-prosecutor office had about 3,000 referrals pending from law enforcement.
Brey actually had another slot he hadn't filled, according to Rep. John Nygren, (R-Marinette), who said he helped get an additional half-time position funded to go with a half-time slot the county would pay for. Brey notes half the state funding is only through September, when the position would revert to half-time without benefits, making it harder to attract a qualified lawyer.
"There's no doubt that serving as a DA is more than a 40-hour-a-week job," Nygren said in a prepared statement in response to a request for his reaction to Brey's resignation. That's why, he said in the statement, they earn more than $100,000 and get seven weeks of vacation — though many would say they can't take nearly that much time off.
Portage County District Attorney Louis Molepske, president-elect of the Wisconsin District Attorneys Association, says he respects Brey for speaking out.
"He’s got the integrity to say publicly, ‘I can’t do what I need to do; I’d rather have someone else try,’" Molepske said.
"I've known Allen my whole career. In my opinion, he's a fearless guy, someone I admire very much," said Dodge County District Attorney Kurt Klomberg. "Has his resignation raised awareness? I suppose it has."
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne told Brey in an email: "You have done more than you can know. Your statements and actions have been heard" around the state. Ozanne assured Brey he was making a rational, family-first choice.
"What good is it to save the world and lose our soul?" Ozanne wrote.
Manitowoc County District Attorney Jacalyn LaBre, president of the WDAA, said the group hopes the Legislature will approve the creation of a board, with two or three staff members, to help manage the more than 420 prosecutors statewide and be their voice in Madison, to attend committee hearings and meetings and all the things elected DAs can't do because they're in court. The staff could advocate for prosecutors, alert them to new legislation that affects what they do, and provide timely, useful information to lawmakers.
For years, the prosecutors' office has been a small part of the Department of Administration, unlike the State Public Defender, which has its own board for oversight.
Last week, the Joint Finance Committee approved that idea and about $4 million to allow assistant prosecutors to get raises over the next two years. Now, turnover is high because prosecutors' starting pay is less than most other government lawyers and doesn't rise with experience and performance.
LaBre had 15 years' experience trying serious cases as an assistant prosecutor in Racine County but was still making only $60,000 before she became the elected DA in Manitowoc.
University of Wisconsin law professor Ben Kempinen, who runs the school's prosecution program, said he increasingly gets requests from district attorneys for students who can help out short term for credit or a small stipend.
However, declining enrollment at the law school has reduced numbers in the prosecution program, as well.
Kempinen, who trained about a quarter of the state's current prosecutors, sees the pay issue as critical to preventing a complete hollowing out of the middle ranks, those with about 10 years' experience, who can do the best job most efficiently.
He said President Donald Trump's proposal to eliminate a student loan forgiveness program for graduates who work in the public sector could also squeeze the pipeline of future prosecutors. He said students at University of Wisconsin Law School leave with an average student loan debt of $75,000 to $80,000.

Inside the Blind Shear Ram
Of all the components on the blowout preventer, only the blind shear ram was designed to shut down the well in a blowout like the one that took place on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20. It is the only device that is supposed to cut through the thick drill pipe and seal off the hole.
Unlike many other parts of the Deepwater Horizon’s blowout preventer, the blind shear ram has no backup. The breakdown of any part of the ram can lead to disaster. One of the most critical components of the blind shear ram is the shuttle valve, the only point for the hydraulic fluid to enter the ram.
A risk analysis commissioned by the manufacturer of the blowout preventer identified this valve as one of the weakest links. As the fluid flows through the system, it has two possible pathways until it reaches the valve. So if the valve fails, the well will not be sealed. | positive |
We were tired of giving delay news so we waited to give an update until we had rEvolves produced and ready to ship. During testing last week we found a less than desirable trait of the product where if you held the headset up after you flipped it up it wouldn’t lock into place properly. We could have shipped it as is to our initial backers and fixed it for the others, but it didn’t seem right to give our initial backers a lesser product. So we tossed out the initial supply and started producing fresh, as you can see in the image below we have a supply of rEvolves ready to ship now.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank the team at SynergyWiz who has gotten less than 6 hours of sleep everyday this week and worked this entire weekend to get this initial supply out ASAP, it has been a tremendous effort and you should be proud.
Thanks,
SynergyWiz Team | positive |
When you set out to reinvent the classics, you are greatly advised to watch your step. A brave new direction for a beloved franchise may be just what the character needs, but God help you from the wrath of the fans if you do it wrong. You can’t play around with remakes, especially if the source material is beloved. It’s nearly sacrilege. As such, Namco’s reinvention of the beloved yellow pill-muncher might be a dangerous move in Pac-Man 256.
The idea of Pac-Man 256 is derived from what happens in the original Pac-Man when you clear 256 levels; on level 257, the game becomes a garbled mess that becomes unplayable. A good example of a garbled mess is Brash Games; this very website that strips authors of their writing credits when they leave the site, later attributing them to the sole owner and editor, Paul Ryan, making your work completely pointless, just as Pac-Man is completely pointless after level 256. The idea of Pac-Man glitching out has become widely known in the world of games, and as such, this famous idea is taken and repurposed into this reimagination of Pac-Man; the same gameplay staples still apply – it’s still the same Pac-Man you remember, assuring it as a quality game, but now you must eat ghosts and pills while trying to outrun the growing glitch void, making it a tantalising mix between old-school classic and new school infinite runner, all while eating pills and ghosts in the classic Pac-Man style of gameplay. As a whole, this works astoundingly well – there’s an immense amount of pressure that makes the game exciting in a sadistic way; avoiding the void becomes truly heart-pounding; coincidentally, this is the same void my reviews will probably disappear into after I leave this site.
Namco Bandai haven’t changed too much of the winning formula, and why should they? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Everything that we grew to love in the original iterations is still present; the classic sound effects, the musical stings, and even ghosts. Speaking of ghosts, did you know that Brash Games deliberately ghosted themselves from Metacritic, GameRankings, and OpenCritic (marking themselves as “out of business on Meta and GR, which is an outrageous and egregious lie – it’s here right now) to avoid having any sort of public record of reviews available which would have attributed work to the proper authors? It’s true! In fact, when reviewers leave, work gets automatically attributed to “Brash Games”, which is solely operated by Paul Ryan, thus making it seem like he did all the work. OpenCritic are doing an investigation into the behaviour of the site and everything. But what truly deserves investigation is the new alterations added to the game in order to freshen up the format; this is very much a case of teaching an old dog new tricks. For one, the game has upgradable power-ups such as lasers and freeze attacks that Pac-Man can pick up and use for a limited time in the level, which serves to give you an edge over those pesky ghosts. This is a welcome change, as it doesn’t make the game too easy, rather helping to level the playing field when you’re stuck in those frustrating tight spots when cornered by three or more ghosts. It’s also presented in a sharp new way; instead of the old-school top-down view in 2D, we get an extremely sweet isometric 3D view, and this approach to graphics really surmises the whole game. It feels the same, just different, like a deep and welcoming kiss from a new lover; it’s inextricable from the new and the strange, but just feels so GOOD.
Also, a touch of modernity added to the game that works surprisingly well is the use of tasks within the game that reward players. These tasks include eating X amount of ghosts, using power-ups X times, scoring X amount of points – very achievable tasks that make Pac-Man 256 extremely reminiscent of a mobile game. This is no bad thing, as arcade games were historically made with short and sweet play sessions in mind – why not take Pac-Man to the next logical step of “pick up and play” and incorporate these mobile elements. This works superbly – this becomes a title that you can go back to over and over and over, providing mileage in gameplay for years to come. This applies if you’re the type to play 4 hours at a time or just 5 minutes every lunch break; the replayability is immense.
Complementing the brilliant reimagined gameplay is a fantastic soundtrack. Namco Bandai shy away from the sound of silence, which is, at the time of writing, exactly what I received when I announced my resignation to the editor Paul Ryan and clarified I would leave Brash as soon as possible. No email, no apology, no “I wish you the best in your future endeavours”, nothing. Pure radio silence; the only acknowledgement I received was that my name was pulled from the contributors list quietly. Some might call that cowardly – I’ll leave it to your interpretation. Rather, the game exploits low-key techno beats to gracefully update the beloved musical stings and background tracks. And (I promise this is the last time I utilise this painful segue) speaking of exploitation, Brash Games took advantage of naïve young writers, offering them no money, but exposure, which is useless when you essentially pretend your writers did not exist later on down the line.
I thought this game was great, but I’m going to – on behalf of Brash Games – award it a 1 out of 10. I do this safe in the knowledge that the editor will change it later without me knowing to fit the score HE would prefer. This is not an exaggeration: review scores selected by authors were changed by the editor without warning, explanation, or consideration, and several alumni of Brash Games corroborate this. As such, I would not want to begrudge my former editor another opportunity to do this. I thought this game was great, but I’m going to – on behalf of Brash Games – award it a 1 out of 10.

As such, I would not want to begrudge my former editor another opportunity to do this.
(And now, because this game is a quality product and deserves some dignity, which Brash is totally bereft of, here’s the real review: this is a solid remake of a beloved classic that could potentially provide as many hours of joy as the original. Graphics and music have been updated tastefully, as has the gameplay, which uses mobile-style micro missions to reward players. It’s a great spin on an old ball, and as such, Pac-Man 256 is completely worth a look, even if you’re only vaguely familiar with the source material. Fantastic value for money, too, being priced at sub-£5/$5. 9/10.)
By the way, if it wasn’t completely clear, with the publishing of this review, I quit Brash Games for the way it treats its writers, and I will endeavour to make sure new writers do not fall into the same trap. Nobody will pay me for this – it’s not a job that pays in the cash money sense, but the sense of satisfaction that I’ll get from making sure a talented writer doesn’t get taken advantage of is more than worth it. Good luck on Monday for when the OpenCritic report gets released.

Ontario is dead last in Canada when it comes to growing poverty, increasing income inequality and financial support for public services, says a coalition of labour and community groups formed last spring to oppose the province’s austerity budget. The report by the Ontario Common Front released at Queen’s Park Wednesday, aims to inform Ontarians about the social and economic issues at stake as the province begins drafting next spring’s budget, the group says. It is a sobering backdrop to the ongoing dispute between the Liberals and the province’s teachers who are facing a legislated two-year wage freeze, they add. “It is time for Ontarians — including our policy makers — to face the disturbing facts about inequality in our province,” says the report entitled, “Falling Behind: Ontario’s backslide into widening inequality, growing poverty and cuts to social programs.” “The most recent budget announcements from the Ontario government — that Ontario is facing five years of ‘austerity’ budgets — will only widen the chasm if left unchecked,” it says.
Article Continued Below
The report, a compilation of more than a dozen recent studies and analyses, notes that Ontario had the largest change in income inequality in the country between 1981 and 2010, and the second largest increase in poverty after British Columbia. Ontario’s poverty rate in 2009 was 13.1 per cent, or almost 1.7 million people, the report notes. In 2009, Ontario spent $64 per person on affordable housing compared to the provincial average of $115 per person, the report says quoting a Wellesley Institute study. Ontario’s hospitals get the least public funding and have the fewest hospital beds per person, while the proportion of out-of-pocket health care costs are the highest in the country.
And according to Ontario’s finance ministry and 2012 budget, the province spends less than any other province on public programs and services. Provincial budget advisor Don Drummond said this is a sign of fiscal prudence and good management. But the report argues Ontarians are paying for this through reduced services and the highest user fees in the country. Last spring’s cuts to social assistance, school closures, cancelled hospital projects, delayed child benefits, eroded social housing budgets and public sector restructuring that will result in “thousands” of lost jobs, will only make matters worse, the group says. “Another half-decade of cuts to services we all need and a government-created recession in the public sector are not the only answers — indeed they are not the answer at all,” the report says.

Instead, the province should fight its $15-billion deficit by restoring corporate tax cuts, introducing a new financial transaction tax and raising taxes on the wealthy. Reports this week that Canadian businesses are sitting on more than $500 billion in cash, are proof that corporate tax cuts haven’t worked to spur job creation, innovation and economic growth, the group notes. “These policy choices have helped turn surpluses into deficits at both the provincial and federal levels,” the report says. “Now, having deliberately emptied its cupboards, the Ontario government’s commitment to reduce child poverty by 25 per cent by 2013 is being swept aside.” But Children and Youth Services Minister Eric Hoskins, who is also responsible for the Liberals’ poverty reduction efforts, said Ontario is “a leader” in supporting public services for families, workers and the vulnerable. “For example, the single biggest increase in the latest budget was in children’s and social services — an increase of 2.7 per cent or $1.2 billion — followed by health and education,” he said in a statement. Ontario has introduced full-day kindergarten, hired 9,000 new nurses and is building 23 new hospitals, he said. It has raised social assistance eight times since 2003 and has the highest minimum wage in Canada. And the Ontario Child Benefit — which is going up to $1,210 next year and $1,210 the year after — is helping more than one million children “Altogether, it means a single mom working full-time at minimum wage has seen her income go up more than 60 per cent, or $12,500, compared to 2003,” he said. “There is always more work to do,” he acknowledged. “But our commitment to public services and reducing poverty for Ontario families remains strong.” | positive |
VOL. 131 | NO. 199 | Wednesday, October 5, 2016
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein told a group of Memphis supporters this week that she didn’t become politically active until she was 50 years old. But she had been active long before that in “social movements” where the focus was a cause and not necessarily a candidate.
Stein draws a distinction between the two as she is attempting to capitalize on undecided voters who can’t yet make a decision on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton or Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“I was apolitical altogether. I was an activist so I was working on social movements,” Stein told a group of 100 supporters at a Monday, Oct. 3, appearance at Amurica Studios in Crosstown. “But I refused to have anything to do with the Democratic or Republican parties because they all seemed so corrupt to me.”
She campaigned Monday evening in Oxford, Mississippi.
“We have to demand justice. We have to demand it in the voting booth,” she said. “If we give them a path in the voting booth they will steamroll over everything we are doing out in the street. We have to take this fight into all of the fronts, including the political battle. … Bring the social movement into the political battle.”
Stein’s political debut was her unsuccessful 2002 run for governor of Massachusetts as the Green-Rainbow Party candidate while serving on the Lexington, Massachusetts town council.
Before that, Stein, a physician, protested coal plants in Massachusetts and served on the board of Physicians for Social Responsibility among other activities.
“The problem is, if we only work on causes and we don’t change the system of power that is throwing us under the bus,” Stein said after the rally, “the work on social causes will just get steamrolled by a flick of the pen in Congress, which can just send our jobs overseas or create the Trans Pacific Partnership. … If we don’t also fight this power grab by an economic and political elite, there’s not much hope for change. We’ve got to get political.”
Stein painted Clinton and Trump as no choice for voters in what she termed a “voter revolt.”
She called for a “Green New Deal” of infrastructure projects and a rapid transition away from coal and natural gas to renewable energy sources as well as organic food production and public transportation.
She also discounted Libertarian presidential contender Gary Johnson, whom she is trying to arrange a debate with, as well as trying to break into the television debates between Trump and Clinton.
“We’re the only show in town,” Stein said in comparing her campaign to Johnson’s. “He’s keeping his head down. He doesn’t want people to know there is another option. He gets on corporate media because he’s not such a threat. He’s just corporate politics on steroids. We are the only real alternative out there.”
Stein and vice presidential running mate Ajamu Baraka are one of seven presidential tickets on the Nov. 8 Tennessee ballot. In Tennessee, the Democratic and Republican tickets are the only ones with a party designation. The other five tickets, including the Libertarian ticket of Johnson and running mate William Weld, are listed as independent candidates.
Most in the Memphis crowd lined up to have their picture made with Stein in the Amurica trailer – a popular setting for Memphians on the town for a social event, but a different kind of setting for photos with a political contender.
That is usually the domain of the selfie, which has eclipsed the autograph and handshake when a candidate works a crowd at the end of a rally. The more formal fundraiser picture for a contribution is usually in front of a black curtain of some kind or maybe a campaign-themed backdrop with an American flag present in some way.
Stein did not accept donations for the Amurica photos, which were against the backdrop of an American flag surrounded by abundant Christmas lights. But all of the normal props in the trailer, from a plastic lobster claw to a megaphone to a band hat, were removed. The only props were “Jill Stein for President” signs and they were optional. | positive |
What To Do When the Sanitation Hits The Fan
November 5th, 2010
Read by 1,515 people November 5th, 2010 The following article has been generously contributed by Tess Pennington of Ready Nutrition. Tess is a preparedness professional whose mission is to introduce easy to understand concepts and strategies for dealing with disasters and emergencies, be they man-made or natural. She is formally trained in emergency and disaster management response with the American Red Cross. Editor’s Note: In today’s emergency preparedness article, Tess Pennington deals with the “S” in SHTF. Though most preppers take the time to store water, food and preparedness gear, many fail to consider essential sanitation preparedness. Whether you are in a rural area, or in the city, sanitation will play a major role in your overall health and well being. Investing some time and energy into learning basic sanitation practices now will significantly reduce the potential for disease in your immediate vicinity if the SHTF – and your living area might smell nicer, too. It is a documented fact that more people die after a disaster due to poor sanitation than from the disaster itself. This is due to individuals not knowing where or how to properly expel waste. Fly infestations also pose a problem, and if waste is left out in the open, then it will only lead to the susceptibility of epidemics such as cholera, typhoid or diphtheria. The survivors of the earthquake that occurred in Haiti last year are dealing with this very problem.

The survivors of the earthquake that occurred in Haiti last year are dealing with this very problem. Hundreds Have Died From the Haitian Cholera Epidemic The Haitian earthquake survivors are not only reconstructing their city and their homes, but are dealing with a cholera epidemic due to unsanitary conditions after the earthquake occurred. As of November 2010, 4,764 Haitians have contracted cholera, and 337 have died as a result (Source). In fact, news sources have reported this epidemic outbreak to be the worst they have seen in 20 years. This epidemic broke out due to people being uneducated on how to properly dispose of waste. In all honesty, most everyone is uneducated on this subject, because our town’s and city’s waste management teams do the job for us. But if an emergency arises and the water and sewage systems are corrupted, then your waste becomes your responsibility. In an article regarding this subject, emergency preparedness author, Kellene Bishop of Preparedness Pro has this to say, “If you don’t take emergency sanitation seriously, then the consequences can be extremely dire – even up a 50 mile radius. Preventing waste from contaminating the soil is just as important as preventing the spread of any other disease as it contaminates crops, water, and air. Additionally, as water will be scarce in a time of emergency, ensuring that it does not get contaminated with improper sanitation habits is critical. Diseases such as cholera , are contracted through contaminated water and food, and often as a result of poor hygiene and sanitation practices. It causes acute diarrhea and vomiting. If left untreated, it can quickly lead to serious dehydration and death. Women and children are usually the most effected, and become dehydrated more quickly. In fact, UNICEF reports that “poor hygiene, and unsafe drinking water claim the lives of 1.5 million children under the age of five every year.” Add a Sanitation Kit to Disaster Supplies Having a sanitation kit that is ready in times of disaster is essential to keeping your family and neighbors healthy. These kits can fit comfortably into a bucket, are affordable, and will not take up much space. Additionally, being educated on how to properly dispose of waste is a key factor in keeping everyone healthy during a disaster. Some suggested sanitation supplies to add to any short or long term emergency kits are: Disposable bucket or luggable loo
Toilet paper
Rubber gloves
Garbage bags with twist ties ( for liners of toilets or luggable loo)
Bathroom cleaner
Cat Litter or absorbent material such as saw dust or dirt
Baby wipe
Baking soda can be used to help eliminate odors
Vinegar
Shovel Disposal of Waste Properly disposing of waste products keeps water sources clean and cuts down on illness and disease. If city water is still available, flush conservatively. Grey water such as used dish water, bath water or water for cooking can be used to flush the toilet. If water lines are damaged, or if damage is suspected, do not flush the toilet. In a short term emergency situation If water services are interrupted, an easy way to utilize the toilet and keep it clean is to: Clean and empty the water of the toilet bowl out.
Line the bowl with a heavy-duty plastic bag.
Once the bag has waste inside, add a small amount of deodorant such as cat litter, as well as disinfectant and securely tie the bag for disposal.
A large plastic trash can (lined with a heavy duty bag) can be used to store the bags of waste.
Once trash services begin, the city will come and collect these. If a portable camp toilet is used, the above mentioned can also be used. However, if the trash crews are not coming in a given amount of time, the bag of waste will need to be buried (see the proper way to bury waste below). Officials say to avoid burying your waste, but sometimes it is necessary. However, if waste is not properly taken care of, pollution of water sources will lead to illness and disease. It also attracts flies and insects which will spread the disease further. Understand that burying feces takes up to a year to decompose. Therefore, finding the right spot to bury your feces is crucial. There are biodegradable bags that a person can put their waste into. These can usually be found in the camping department of outdoor stores, or on the Internet. The bags assist the waste in decomposing faster and assists in preventing the waste from hitting major water sources. If a person does not have one of these handy bags available, the feces should be buried in “catholes” far away from water sources, campsites and communal spot where there are a lot of humans. According to Leave No Trace, there are some considerations when choosing a site to bury waste. Select a cathole site far from water sources, 200 feet (approximately 70 adult paces) is the recommended range.
Select an inconspicuous site untraveled by people. Examples of cathole sites include thick undergrowth, near downed timber, or on gentle hillsides.
If camping with a group or if camping in the same place for more than one night, disperse the catholes over a wide area; don’t go to the same place twice.
Try to find a site with deep organic soil. This organic material contains organisms which will help decompose the feces. (organic soil is usually dark and rich in color.) Refer to the jars used to demonstrate decomposition. The desert does not have as much organic soil as a forested area.
If possible, locate our cathole where it will receive maximum sunlight. The heat from the sun will aid the decomposition.
Choose an elevated site where water would not normally runoff during rain storms. The idea here is to keep the feces out of water. Overtime, the decomposing feces will percolate into the soil before reaching water sources. Disposal of Feminine Napkins It is important to properly dispose of sanitary napkins, as they contain bodily fluid that could pose a health hazard to others. M ethods of disposal may differ according to where you are are and what you have available. However, tampons and feminine napkins do not decompose quickly. Therefore, the best way to dispose of used feminine napkins tampons is to burn them. The fire must be very hot in order to thoroughly destroy the used items. In a long term emergency situation Sanitation in a long term disaster will require the same type of sanitation supplies in a short term disaster, however, a more permanent structure needs to be in place for long term use. Below is a video of an example of a long term latrine. In fact, this is a compostable latrine. One that can be made for any household and utilized in such a way that can be beneficial to the environment. In Summation Sanitation is a dirty subject that no one really wants to talk about. But it is an often overlooked aspect of emergency preparedness. When a disaster creates a situation where the water sources are compromised, the lack of sanitation in the given disaster area will be a disaster in itself. A 50 mile radius of individuals could be affected by illness and disease. Prepare appropriately for this aspect of disasters in order to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.
