Virginia Republicans gathered this weekend at the Homestead resort in Hot Springs to discuss their recent losses in races for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. Among the things they decided is that the party will nominate their candidate to challenge Sen. Mark Warner at a convention rather than allowing the people to have a role in the decision. This is exactly how the Republicans wound up with three too-conservative losing candidates in November. The convention attracts people like Nancy Stone of Harrisonburg, who might be just a tad more conservative than your average persuadable Commonwealth voter.
She was at [E.W.] Jackson’s hospitality suite, which he catered on a tight budget by encouraging attendees to bring pies for a pie-tasting contest. Stone bagged top prize with a pecan pie she had made.
“He was the real deal,” she said. “I think we need more candidates like him.”
In case you forgot, E.W. Jackson was the Virginia GOP’s candidate for lieutenant governor, and not only is he certifiably insane and uncommonly dishonest, but he was drubbed by Ralph Northam by over 10 points.
Of course, it isn’t certain that E.W. Jackson will challenge Warner. When asked about it, he replied, I’m running for Jesus right now and that’s enough. If that ever changes, you will be the first to know.
You’d think that Jesus would be the first to know. | positive |

When it comes to pregnant women, my misguided attempts at chivalry frequently backfire.
Whether it's nobly giving up my seat on the subway or making friendly conversation by inquiring about a woman's due date, I've basically reached a point where I absolutely NEVER ask a woman if she's pregnant unless she's in the hospital, has her feet in stirrups, and the baby is at least halfway out.
Unfortunately, I somehow forgot to pass this important life lesson onto my four-year-old daughter.
Today, the Peanut had her holiday party at school. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the Peanut beckoning to one of her friend's moms. "Can you come here please? I want to ask you a question."
The woman walks over to the Peanut, gently leans over and says, "Hi Sweetie, what is it that you want to ask me?"
The Peanut points to each of her hugely ginormous breasts and says, "So, do you have twins inside there?"
The woman is not quite sure she heard correctly so, to my utter chagrin, she asks the Peanut to kindly repeat the question.
Regrettably, the Peanut assumes that she is being asked to repeat the question because the woman is obviously hard of hearing. So what does she do? She stands up, explicitly points to each of the woman's giant breasts again, and yells out, "I said, you have two GIANT tummies! Does that mean you have twins inside there? WHAT.ARE.THEIR.NAMES?"
Completely mortified, I quickly pull the Peanut aside and whisper a lecture in her ear about never assuming that a woman is pregnant. I don't remember exactly what I said but I vaguely recall babbling random things like "false assumptions," "macromastia," and "mammoplasty."
Of course the Peanut looked at me like I was totally nuts and went back to shoving a giant cupcake in her face. Meanwhile, I simply made eye contact with the woman and and gave her a look conveying not only my sincerest apologies but also my total embarrassment.
However, I've got to admit that it's been four hours since this happened and I've still got an enormous grin on my face. That shit is straight-up funny. I tell you, this parenting thing is a barrel of non-stop laughs.
Ok, your turn. What's the funniest or most embarrassing thing to come out of your kid's mouth? Special prize to the story that makes me laugh so hard that Diet Coke comes out my nose! | positive |
DETROIT -- The Tigers will be playing a man down in Baltimore.
Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter is expected to miss the first two games in Baltimore so he can attend his children's high school graduations in Texas later this week.
Hunter will play both games in Pittsburgh before joining his wife, Katrina, in Texas late Wednesday. He will miss games Friday and Saturday before rejoining the team Sunday.
“This is just once in a lifetime,” Hunter
. “I hope people forgive me for it.”
His son, Torii Jr., committed in February to play football for Notre Dame. He has two other sons, Monshadrik and Darius McClinton-Hunter, who will reportedly play football at
and Southeastern Louisiana, respectively.
The Tigers will be shorthanded for both games. According to Major League Baseball's guidelines, they aren't able to deactivate Hunter and call up a player in his absence.
"That's just part of the equation anymore and it's certainly fine," manager Jim Leyland said. "I just think you roll with the punch. We'll get by."
The bereavement list may only be used when a player leaves the team to attend to a series illness or death in the immediate family.

The New Assembly Row MBTA Stop Is Opening Soon
Just a few more weeks to go.
Get a compelling long read and must-have lifestyle tips in your inbox every Sunday morning — great with coffee!
Next stop: Somerville.
An MBTA official confirmed Friday that the new Assembly Square T Station will be welcoming riders to the Assembly Row mixed-use redevelopment site real soon, so they can shop, peruse the Legoland display, and check out an array of eateries, without having to rely on a car to get there.
“It will be open to the public within a few weeks,” said T spokesman Joe Pesaturo.
According to a Tweet from Somerville officials, passengers should expect to have access to the new stop by September 2, just days after the MBTA’s predicted end-of-August target date. The station will debut in Somerville “before every last element of the project is finished in the fall.”
A ceremony will be held to welcome riders to the newest stop.
The “substantial completion” of the overall project, which will make it the 20th stop along the Orange Line, is slated for sometime in November.
The multi-million dollar Assembly Square MBTA stop, paid for through a public-private partnership with state and federal agencies, as well as the developer, Federal Realty Investment Trust, has been in the works for years, leading to weekend train diversions and bus replacement services that left many passengers frustrated during their commute.
Once opened, the Assembly station will add an extra stop along the T’s Orange Line, just past Sullivan Square, making it the first Somerville stop accessible by that specific train line, and the first rapid transit stop added in more than two decades.
“The people of Somerville fought for this station,” said Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone. “We made the case that this was the right thing to do for our community and that it was smart business infrastructure investment for the state.”
The construction of the new station was part of the Assembly Row redevelopment project, a massive overhaul of a large-scale piece of property that sits on the outskirts of Somerville, just beyond I-93. Aside from the designated MBTA stop that carries passengers in from Boston or Malden, the Assembly Row project has included the addition of The Somerville Brewing Company’s 60-seat, open-air beer garden, new housing properties, an updated movie theatre, and a Legoland Discovery Center.
Other retailers and outlets such as an Adidas store, Brooks Brothers, Charlotte Russe, Chico’s Outlet, Clark’s, Converse Factory Store, Kay Jewelers Outlet, Le Creuset, Luggage Factory, and Orvis have been opening on a rolling basis down at the site of the new development.
According to an announcement made by Somerville city officials back in May, at the start of the summer, by the end of September, a total of 32 stores and restaurants will be ready for the public as the first phase of the $1.5 billion redevelopment project comes to an end. An additional 10 new tenants are slated to open just in time for Black Friday in November. | positive |
Passengers flying to the U.S. from Dubai and Istanbul no longer have to pack laptops and tablets in their luggage.
Emirates and Turkish Airlines confirmed that a U.S. ban on electronics devices larger than a smartphone in cabins was lifted on Wednesday.
"Emirates has been working hard in coordination with various aviation stakeholders and the local authorities to implement heightened security measures and protocols that meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's new security guidelines for all U.S. bound flights," the Dubai-based airline said in a statement.
The U.S. introduced the ban in March over concerns that devices could be used to smuggle explosives on board.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has refused to detail all the new requirements for security reasons, but they include greater scrutiny of passengers entering the US, enhanced screening of electronic devices, and better deployment of canines that detect explosives.
Turkish Airlines tweeted: "#WelcomeOnBoard to our U.S.-bound flight. Please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your own electronic devices."
A separate electronics ban on flights from Turkey to the U.K. is still in place.
Last week, the DHS lifted the ban for Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways after it put additional security measures in place.
The ban still applies to U.S.-bound flights from seven other airports in the Middle East and North Africa. It will continue to affect six airlines, including Qatar Airways.
The Doha-based airline confirmed that the ban is still in place. It declined to comment on whether it was introducing new security measures to meet the DHS requirements.

Saudi Arabia's national carrier, Saudia, said Tuesday it was working to implement the DHS measures and aims to have the ban lifted by July 19.
"We're not in a position to confirm so far in advance," a DHS spokesman said on Tuesday. "Saudi Arabian Airlines is still operating under the [portable electronic device] restriction." | positive |

I always dreaded those shopping trips and the fact that I had to try stuff on. I found the whole process tedious and claustrophobic. We all like a little novelty with the clothes we put on each morning, but most people spend a tremendous amount of time and money on buying stuff. I often wonder why people don’t challenge what the definition of ‘new’ should mean or take into consideration how their purchases may affect the planet. I’ve never understood people’s fascination with changing fashion. Over the years, I've met many people who felt they were somehow stale or boring if they didn’t go out and buy a new fall outfit or new summer shirts… I don’t know where that mindset comes from or why I don’t have it. It’s a mystery to me why people do that regularly. There are so many second-hand stores and transfer stations that are filled with good, serviceable clothing that just need a little love to become something special again. I like shopping at Goodwill Buy the Pound, where donated items deemed unfit for store shelves are sold to the public extremely cheaply. Sweaters may have holes in them, shirts may have stains on them and everything there is either damaged or simply didn’t sell at the retail store. But it doesn’t matter to me, because all I need is some fabric to make my own clothes. In my line of work, I can have something new to wear whenever I want without paying for more materials to be extracted from the environment or sent back out into the environment when they are used up. I’m not a seamstress by any means, so I use a serger, which cuts out all the hard work associated with the process. I don’t take apart the parts that have to fit you. I just add to the bottoms and tops to make them longer or to add different fabrics onto a piece of clothing. For example, if I were to find a shirt where the sleeves are worn out at the ends I would probably just cut them off and add on different fabric with my machine. It’s really that simple. And it’s honestly quite fun. I’m almost 77 years old, but I seem to be flunking retirement. I still work to repurpose old clothing by choice because I love doing it. I owned a small handbag company for 43 years until 2013, but once I sold it I missed making stuff. This time around I’m trying to keep my company, Rags 2 Riches, a bit more simple. I don’t want to scale it up and feel too pressured to spend hours at a sewing machine, I just want to have fun. — Patti Dowse, Maine Marketplace Area Coordinator and Maine Artisan Bread Fair Vendor Wrangler Filter Articles All News Alerts & Notices Community News Employee Announcements Press Releases Fraud & Identity Theft Security Newsroom Community Meet our Team FacebookInstagramLinkedinYoutube Routing Number: 211272630 NMLS Number: 460343 SACOBIDDEFORDOLD ORCHARD BEACHPORTLANDSCARBOROUGHSOUTH PORTLANDWESTBROOK HomeContact UsSecurityCareersPrivacy PolicySite DisclaimerSite Map Maine Cash AccessFDICEHL © 2016 Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution.

Share variables between JavaScript and CSS | falldowngoboone Skip to main content Home Archive RSS Share variables between JavaScript and CSS 12 min read 28 Feb 2021 Whether you need site breakpoints for matchMedia or access to theme colors, sharing values between your JavaScript and CSS is sometimes unavoidable. The easiest solution is to copy and paste values, but how can you ensure values stay synchronized when that brand blue color changes to indigo? The answer is to create a single source of truth by sharing values between the JavaScript and style layers. There are several ways to accomplish this, and the best approach for a project depends on its frontend stack. Here are all of the ways I know how to pass data back and forth between all the layers. ICSS CSS Modules, gives us two ways of sharing variables, the Interoperable CSS (ICSS) spec and the PostCSS Modules Values spec. ICSS appears to be the older of the two specifications, so I’ll start there. ICSS is a low-level specification that’s mainly for loader authors. It describes how to treat CSS modules as JavaScript dependencies and introduces the :export directive to act as a way to export defined values. Coupled with Sass variables, it allows you to export theme values: // colors.module.scss // assuming this is within Create React App; the `.module` lets CRA know // this is a CSS Module $my-red: #ff0000; :export { myRed: $my-red; } The exported values are imported like much like any other JavaScript module: // MyComponent.js // assuming this is within Create React App import * as React from 'react'; import * as colors from 'theme/colors.module.scss'; export function MyComponent() { return <p>myRed's value: {colors.myRed}</p> } The above should work in Create React App out of the box. If you are rolling your own Webpack configuration (may God have mercy on your soul), you’ll need to configure modules with a compileType of icss: module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { compileType: "icss", }, }, }, ], }, }; CSS is the source of truth Great solution if you’re using Create React App Webpack configuration could be a challenge Aimed more at library authors than app developers Non-standard CSS Setting @value CSS Modules also offers the @value directive, which explicitly defines module values. @value can also be used to import values from other CSS modules. It’s a catchall solution for passing values to and from CSS modules to anywhere. // breakpoints.module.css @value larry: (max-width: 599px); @value moe: (min-width: 600px) and (max-width: 959px); @value curly: (min-width: 960px); // MyComponent.module.css // this is one of the multiple ways you can import @value definitions // see https://github.com/css-modules/postcss-modules-values @value larry, moe, curly from "theme/breakpoints.module.css"; @media larry { ... } @media moe { ... } @media curly { ... } // MyComponent.module.js import * as React from 'react'; import Media from 'react-media'; import { larry, moe, curly } from 'theme/breakpoints.module.css'; export function MyComponent() { return ( <Media queries={{ larry, moe, curly }}> {matches => matches.larry ? ( <p>Oh, a wise guy, eh?</p> ) : matches.moe ? ( <p>Why I outta...</p> ) : ( <p>Nyuk nyuk</p> ) } </Media> ); } CSS is the source of truth Easy to implement in Create React App Again, Webpack (meh) Appears to be more of a dev-friendly solution Allows you to share values between CSS modules Non-standard CSS Sass compiler Sass’s JavaScript API can add custom functions by defining the functions option of render. You can use this to define getter functions that return your theme’s values directly in Sass. I implemented this on our website using node-sass, which exposes the functions option in its CLI: node-sass src/styles/ -o build/styles --functions path/to/sass-functions.js And the sass-functions.js file looks like this: // sass-functions.js const sass = require('node-sass'); const theme = require('../theme/index.js'); module.exports = { 'getColorMap()': function () { return Object.entries(theme.colors).reduce( toSassMap, new sass.types.Map(Object.keys(theme.colors).length) ); }, 'getMqMap()': function () { return Object.entries(theme.mqs).reduce( toSassMap, new sass.types.Map(Object.keys(theme.mqs).length) ); }, }; function toSassMap(list, [key, value], idx) { list.setKey(idx, new sass.types.String(key)); list.setValue(idx, new sass.types.String(value)); return list; } Note that I’m having to define Sass types. The getColorMap() and getMqMap() functions return Sass maps that include all of our theme variables. Very handy! Unfortunately, LibSass, the core engine of node-sass, has been deprecated, along with node-sass. The canonical Dart version of Sass lacks a nice CLI option for custom functions. If you want to recreate this functionality, you’re stuck building a compiler using Dart Sass’s JavaScript API. JavaScript (or JSON) is the source of truth Requires Sass Easy to implement with node-sass, but it’s deprecated[1] You have to role your own compilation if you want to define custom functions in Dart Sass CSS-in-JS A common variable sharing solution in React is to simply let JavaScript do all the work. And as controversial as CSS-in-JS seems to be, it presents an easy way to share variables simply because you are defining CSS in a JavaScript file. Here’s how you might share a variable in the library Emotion: import { css, cx } from '@emotion/css'; import * as colors from './theme.colors.js'; render( <div className={css` color: ${colors.primary}; &:hover { color: ${colors.secondary}; } `} > I get so emotional, baby. </div> ) I mean, it’s easy. It’s so easy that I’d debate whether or not this is classified as sharing variables between JavaScript and CSS, but I’m throwing it in anyway. I’ve already mentioned Emotion, but other CSS-in-JS libraries to check out include Styled Components, JSS, Theme-UI, Radium, and Aprhodite. JavaScript (or JSON) is the source of truth Good option for shared React component libraries Requires JavaScript to apply styles (no JS, no styles) Non-standard CSS Custom Properties If you need a lightweight, “proper” way to share variables between JavaScript and CSS, look no further than Custom Properties. Custom Properties allow you to create arbitrary CSS properties and set them to any value you want. :root { --color-brand: #BADA55; --color-secondary: #005DAB; } import * as React from 'react'; function MyComponent() { const brandColor = getComputedStyle(document.documentElement) .getPropertyValue('--color-brand'); return <p style={{ color: brandColor }}>I'm brand color!</p> } If you access these properties a lot, you may want to create a utility function to save on typing: function cssValue(property) { return getComputedStyle(document.documentElement) .getPropertyValue(property); } Custom Properties are completely standard CSS spec, and this is the only solution that is dynamic, meaning properties can change based on context: :root { --color-brand: #BADA55; --color-secondary: #005DAB; } @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) :root { --color-brand: white; --color-secondary: #ccc; } } When you access those properties, they’ll be different depending on the user’s preferences. This is incredibly powerful. CSS is the source of truth Context-specific (CSS updates custom properties live based on the context) Easy to implement Not supported in Internet Explorer 11, but you can sort of polyfill it Can’t use Custom Properties for breakpoints 😩 Standard CSS Lots of options Sharing variables between CSS and JavaScript can help reduce toil and cut down on unintentional tech debt. And if you need to, you have no shortage of options. Just make sure you understand what you want to act as the source of truth and know your technical requirements.

Cornelia Walther is UNICEF Haiti's Chief of Communication. Why is Haiti so Vulnerable? Because of its steep terrain, Haiti is particularly vulnerable to devastating floods. Massive deforestation over decades has left countless hillsides and mountains devoid of the trees that usually hold back water. Haiti Photo #1.jpg Two Haitian children at a UNICEF-supported mobile vaccination station set up outside a church by the side of the road in Thomand II. © UNICEF/UNI155815/Vardy With sixty percent of the population living on less than $ 1.25 a day, many families reside in houses that are barely able to withstand heavy rainfall. Typically, these are built of wood with fragile corrugated steel roofs. As I hear the wind intensifying outside, my thoughts are with those families who now feel their walls shake. Fifty years ago, on September 29, 1966, Hurricane Ines struck Haiti. It was a Category 4 storm — just like Hurricane Matthew on its way today. Hurricane Ines left close to 1,000 people dead, thousands of wounded and over 60,000 homeless. Damage was estimated at $20 million (in 1966 dollars). Clean drinking water is the first commodity that runs short in an emergency like this. In a country where less than one in five people living in the countryside has access to improved sanitation, and around forty per cent use unprotected water sources, Hurricane Matthew may worsen an already dark situation. How is UNICEF Helping? UNICEF teams are ready to ensure that children are protected from harm. Their rights to education, protection, health, water and nutrition are not suspended in times of crises, but weigh even more heavily. Over the last few days, UNICEF Haiti has been working hand in hand with the government and the humanitarian community in order to position crucial stocks for 10,000 people. Safe water is a top priority, and water bladders and chlorination tablets have been delivered to regional departments via the government’s health department. UNICEF teams are ready to ensure that children are protected from harm. Because less than one in seven Haitians has electricity, and literacy rates only range around sixty percent, access to information remains a rare commodity, and yet tomorrow it may be lifesaving. To better prepare vulnerable families and children for Hurricane Matthew, we are publicizing protection measures as quickly as possible, particularly in Les Cayes, the area that is likely to be the worst affected. Here, agents from the government’s civil protection department and UNICEF’s partners are walking the streets, urging residents to assemble emergency kits, secure their homes and spread preparedness messages to their neighbors. How Can You Help? Haiti has so much beauty to share and courage to build upon, that Hurricane Matthew, no matter what its consequences, will not get the upper hand. In the coming days and beyond, we must do whatever we can to support Haitian children, women and men, so that they can survive and thrive. Help UNICEF assist families and children affected by Hurricane Matthew.

Most parents would deny it, but Canadian researchers have found that physical attractiveness affects how children are treated, according to a report Tuesday in The New York Times.
Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton watched how parents interacted with their children while shopping in supermarkets and found that so-called ugly ones were more neglected and allowed to engage in potentially dangerous behavior.
The team lead by Dr. W. Andrew Harrell, executive director of the Population Research Laboratory, followed more than 400 parents and their 2-to-5-year-old children around 14 Canadian grocery stores, noting whether the adults strapped their youngsters into the grocery cart seat, the newspaper reports.
Researchers also observed how often the child wandered more than 10 feet away and whether the kids were allowed to engage in risky behaviors such as standing up in the shopping cart.
The children's attractiveness was rated on a 10-point scale by the research team.
Best genetic material?
The differences were striking. The researchers found that 1.2 percent of the homely children were buckled into the shopping cart, compared with 13.3 percent of the prettiest ones. When a man was in charge of shopping, none of the unattractive children were strapped into the carts, while 12.5 percent of the cute children were.
Less attractive children were also allowed to wander further away and were out of sight of their parents more often.
Age played a factor as well. Younger children were more likely to be secured and older adults were more lax about letting kids wander out of sight.
The researchers speculated that Darwinian behavior was responsible for the parents' actions. Pretty children represent the best genetic material and, therefore, get more attention, the researchers hypothesized.
Other experts disagreed, saying that there's no evolutionary reason for parents to favor pretty children over less attractive ones, the newspaper reported. | positive |
Does Donald Trump even know what the latest Republican healthcare bill would do to people with pre-existing conditions, or is he lying about it? It’s like a Schrodinger’s lie—Trump is profoundly ignorant and it’s unlikely he knows what’s in the Graham-Cassidy bill, but he would certainly lie about it without thinking twice (or once, for that matter) if he did know. Either way, this tweet is false:
x I would not sign Graham-Cassidy if it did not include coverage of pre-existing conditions. It does! A great Bill. Repeal & Replace. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2017
Here's reality:
The bill wouldn't repeal the Affordable Care Act's rules about pre-existing conditions. But they might end up only existing on paper, the Kaiser Family Foundation's Larry Levitt said. Graham-Cassidy doesn't let states waive the part of the Affordable Care Act that says insurers have to cover sick people. But it does allow states to opt out of several other ACA rules that can cause people with pre-existing conditions to pay more for their health care. Those provisions include: The ban on charging sick people higher premiums than healthy people.
It’s the trick Republicans have been trying to play all along—claim that you’re protecting people with pre-existing conditions because insurance companies can’t say directly “we will not insure you,” but let the insurance companies charge people with pre-existing conditions so much that no one could afford coverage. We’re not denying you insurance, we’re just charging you $100,000 a year! Your pre-existing condition is totes covered! What a “great Bill.”
We haven’t won the battle to save health care yet. Republicans are STILL pushing to repeal Obamacare. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and urge them to vote “NO” on any repeal bill. (After you call, please tell us how it went.) | positive |

A bridge to the 19th century
The complaint — which was filed today by Florida Secretary of State Kurt Browning — argues that federal preclearance requirements for state election laws are “unconstitutional.” [...] Working to implement the Legislature’s elections overhaul, Browning’s office has asked a federal judge to approve four of the law’s most controversial measures: new restrictions on third-party voter registration drives, a shortened “shelf life” for signatures collected for ballot initiatives, new restrictions on voters changing their registered addresses on election day, and a reduction in the number of early voting days. In the 62 Florida counties not covered by Section 5, Browning’s office has already implemented the new elections rules.
The Republican drive to repeal the 20th century continues. In this Florida-based version, we learn that the 1965 Voting Right Act, which prevents states from making laws that discriminate against voters and requires the federal government to issue approval for changes in voting laws in certain, shall we say, problem areas, is unconstitutional. Because the Republican secretary of state in Florida says so
You might note that each of these new restrictions is meant to reduce the number of people voting, and/or make it more expensive for people to vote. It's not quite poll tax territory (the new ID requirements being pushed by multiple states fills that role nicely), but it's still intended to be discriminatory by making it more difficult for people to support initiatives, to register, or to vote, come election day. Since poorer voters tend to be less able to overcome increased barriers to voting than better off people, this benefits Republicans. Same story as always.
I'm not sure why Browning is going all out for a "the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional!" approach. Perhaps it is the only argument they have; perhaps Browning is feeling especially emboldened of late, and thinks it's high time to make the good Republican case that having states implement discriminatory voting laws is their damn right, you federal government communists. Maybe we'll get to hear about "upholding southern tradition" or the like. Who knows? It's a brand new era in Republicanism, an era in which every element of progress on civil rights or economic justice that took place in the last hundred years needs to be dismantled, so we can get back to the good old days of slave labor (see: Georgia's new indentured servitude laws, for Christ's sake) or speculator-driven economic collapses.
Just contemplate that for a bit. Republicans are now fighting over whether to keep the 1965 Voting Rights Act. "Conservative" seems a weak word for that; reactionary seems the better choice.

A Roma couple were formally charged on Monday with abducting a blonde girl found living with them, despite claiming that they had taken her in as an “act of charity” because her natural mother could not look after her.
Greek police released photographs of Christos Salis, 39, and Eleftheria Dimopoulou, 40, alongside the child, known only as Maria, as a magistrate remanded the pair in custody pending a full investigation.
The photographs showed the stark difference in appearance between Maria and the couple that raised police suspicions during last week’s raid for weapons and drugs at the ramshackle settlement in Farsala, 200 miles north of Athens, where they lived.
A DNA test confirmed that Maria, referred to as the “blonde angel” by the Greek media, was no relation to the pair, leading to an international effort to find her true identity.
In a closed hearing on Monday in Larissa, the capital of Thessaly province, the couple told a judge that they had taken the girl in when she was a few weeks old after she was brought to them by a third party who begged them to look after her.
They denied snatching her, and instead asked the court to trace a Bulgarian man who they claimed had helped the child’s mother find a family to care for her. They told the court that their taking in the child had been an “act of charity”.
“There has been no kidnapping, no robbery, no trafficking,” Constantinos Katsavos, one of the lawyers representing Mr Salis, told reporters after the hearing.
“It was an adoption that was not exactly legal but it took place with the mother’s consent.”
Mr Salis provided the court with the name of the “Bulgarian Roma middleman” and his mobile phone number and urged the court to trace him so he could confirm the story.
He also said that he could identify the mother, whom he described as a Bulgarian Roma speaker, and that she would confirm her consent if she could be found.
The couple appeared separately at the hearing, which lasted several hours.
Mr Salis, who was the first to be questioned by the judge, described how “at first they were reluctant to take her in but it seemed no one wanted the child so they said they would care for her,” a judicial source said.
Despite their version of events, the couple were remanded in custody after being charged with child abduction. They were also charged with procuring false documentation. The charges carry a sentence of up to 20 years.
Police discovered that Ms Dimopoulou had two different identification documents and that she had registered 14 children in three different municipalities. Six of the children she claimed to be her own had their births registered within less than 10 months of each other.
The charity Smile of the Child, which is caring for Maria, who speaks the Roma dialect and a smattering of Greek, disclosed on Monday that medical tests had shown she was aged between five and six years old and not four, as claimed by Mr Salis and Ms Dimopolou.
It is one of several discrepancies that cast doubt on the legitimacy of the story told by the couple.
When first arrested, the pair gave various and contradictory accounts as to how Maria came to be in their care and a photograph of the blue-eyed blonde girl suggested her hair had previously been dyed a darker colour, perhaps to make her presence in the camp less conspicuous to outsiders. The case has raised questions about whether the child may have been stolen to order or if the couple formed part of a wider child-trafficking ring.
Connections were made immediately with the cases of high-profile missing children, including Madeleine McCann, who disappeared from an apartment in Portugal just before her fourth birthday in May 2007, and Ben Needham, the toddler who vanished from outside his grandparents’ home in Kos, Greece, in 1991.
Smile of the Child has received thousands of inquiries about Maria, while the Greek media reported on Monday that her DNA was being compared with samples from people in several other countries.
For the first time on Monday, police released details of items seized during the raid on the camp when Maria was discovered, including a haul of weapons and drugs, a range of chainsaws, balaclavas and stolen credit cards. Home video footage also emerged of a girl believed to be Maria dancing with members of the family when she was a toddler.
Outside the courthouse, at least five dozen members of the Roma community where the arrests were made gathered in an apparent show of support for Mr Salis and Ms Dimopoulou.
Among them were several barefoot children.
The crowds were openly hostile when approached by media and claimed they were being stigmatised unfairly.
“The truth is that this couple were looking after the child because the Bulgarians couldn’t. But instead we as a community are being victimised over this, accused of stealing children,” said Nikos Paiteris, the head of the Roma Association of Thessaly.
Greece’s justice minister confirmed in August that there were 40 individual cases of child trafficking under investigation.
In recent years Greece has seen several high-profile cases in which pregnant Bulgarian women have been forced by gangs to cross the border to Greece to give birth and their babies sold to childless couples.
The Needham family on Monday questioned whether Maria’s case could shed light on a child trafficking culture in Greece, something they believe was not investigated properly at the time of Ben’s disappearance.
“We have always believed that Ben’s abduction was gipsy-related. We hope that the investigation into Ben’s disappearance will now be looked at again,” Kerry Needham, his mother, told ITV. | positive |

The battery, of unknown size and composition, will sit transversely ahead of the engine and behind the seats. Power will be distributed through a module in the tunnel between the seats and sent to or received from the front and rear electric motors. According to video simulations shown by Acura, the NSX will be able to drive under full electric power in the city, but will be effectively front-wheel drive in that scenario, with only the front electric motors powered and the rear drivetrain shut down. Under harder driving, power will come from all three electric motors as well as the gasoline engine.
Acura has so far refused to announce power figures, part of a calculated strategy that speaks to the company's philosophy on this car. Rather than let the Internet shred the spec chart and make all sorts of numbers-only comparisons, Acura wants people to hear about how the car drives and feels first, then look at the numbers. As such, don't expect much in the way of hard numbers before the car's production debut. Still, we know this much: The new RLX Sport Hybrid claims 310 horsepower and 272 lb-ft of torque from its naturally aspirated V-6, and when combined with its three electric motors, the total drivetrain output is 377 horsepower and an unspecified amount of torque. The RLX uses two 27-kW independent electric motors in the rear and a 35-kW electric motor embedded in the transmission. At the bare minimum, we're certain the NSX will make more total power from its new turbocharged engine and potentially upgraded electric motors. The Ferrari 458, for what it's worth, makes 557 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque.
The NSX's party trick, though, will be its ability to use regenerative braking with the electric motors to increase performance and handling. Using technology from the RLX Sport Hybrid, the NSX will use its electric motors to drag on certain wheels when cornering in a form of electronic torque vectoring. The independent front electric motors will be able to apply a small amount of regenerative braking to the inside wheel when cornering, slowing it down and changing the car's inertia while simultaneously accelerating the outside wheel to help steer it around the corner. Because the rear drivetrain uses only a single electric motor powering both rear wheels, it will only be able to apply regenerative braking and not the torque vectoring effect, though it's possible Acura could use the rear brakes or differential to achieve the same effect.
We're told Acura's benchmark in developing the new NSX is the vaunted Ferrari 458 Italia, with Acura hoping to provide a comparable or better driving experience for less money (911 prices, it says) and with more technology. The high-tech powertrain will be augmented by a surprisingly low curb weight that one engineer suggested was targeted at 3200 pounds, though he quickly stopped talking after that. We don't know much about the NSX's body and frame construction yet, but Honda confirmed it will be an aluminum monocoque. The Ferrari, by way of comparison, weighs a shade less than 3450 pounds.
Acura has also declined to offer details on the NSX's suspension, but we expect a fully independent design. Some kind of active damping system is also likely, possibly the variable rate dampers currently employed on the RLX and MDX.
Despite the massive changes to the design and engineering of the car, Honda officials insist that the NSX will be completed in 2015. We're told the first drivable prototype with the new drivetrain only hit the pavement a month ago, so engineers are likely working around the clock to keep the development on schedule. We've also learned that Honda Performance Development, which just recently began working on street applications in addition to racing, is working with the NSX team on a special high-performance model. If Honda's game plan so far is any indication, we'll likely see more information on the car released in small doses as the premiere nears. | positive |
SAN LEANDRO — The city, already tracking license plates on vehicles, is getting more surveillance cameras.
The City Council gave the police chief the green light Tuesday to launch a pilot program that would put surveillance camera systems in at least two public places with high-crime rates, or in areas used by criminals as escape routes. The program could be expanded in the future.
Approval of the new program Tuesday night on a 5-2 vote — Mayor Stephen Cassidy and Councilwoman Ursula Reed voted against it — came after half a dozen community members expressed opposition, saying the plan was a violation of their civil liberties. Four others favored the program as a way to curb crime.
“I think it is disappointing that the decision was based on so little evidence,” Mike Katz-Lacabe, a school board member, said after the vote. “So little evidence of their effectiveness. So little evidence of the need for them and frankly a lack of concern for privacy rights.”
Katz-Lacabe, who may run for City Council, has been a vocal critic of the city’s existing surveillance program after seeing images of his family in his driveway captured by license plate readers. That data is stored with the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center in San Francisco for a year.
The city’s license plate reader technology will be part of the new system. San Leandro’s use of the plate readers recently garnered national attention, in part because residents were unaware the city had been using them since 2008.
Specifics of the new program — including the location, type and cost of the cameras, and how long the data will be retained — have not been decided and will come back to the council for a vote.
Janet Gebhardt, a community member of the police chief’s advisory board, said she believes San Leandro needs to do everything it can to fight crime.
“Being between Oakland and Hayward is not an easy place to be,” Gebhardt said. “These cameras will not be in our backyards … but in public streets on public property where complete privacy cannot be assumed.”
Police Chief Sandra Spagnoli said the Police Department also plans to add three new license plate readers to the city’s two existing ones. When up and running, San Leandro will have three readers in patrol cars and two stationary readers, not including those in the new camera program.
Spagnoli argued that police should be using the technology available to save time, nab criminals and keep the community safe. The growing use of cameras in other cities and in Oakland’s planned 150-camera Domain Awareness Center will bring more criminals into San Leandro, not unlike the criminal spillover effect seen in Antioch after Pittsburg expanded its camera program from five cameras in 2005 to 86 cameras in 2013, she said.
Spagnoli said private property surveillance and traffic cameras led to arrest of a suspect within 24 hours of a violent sex crime in San Leandro.
For 20-year city resident Arlene Lum, that’s enough.
Lum, president-elect of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, said she wished her home had been equipped with cameras when her husband was robbed at gunpoint in their garage four years ago. She said she is in talks with Oakland police about the best places to install $80,000 in grant-funded cameras in Oakland’s Chinatown, where bank robberies, late night break-ins and muggings of seniors in broad daylight have risen, she said.
“It has gotten so bad that people do not want to come into Oakland Chinatown to eat or shop in the evenings,” she said. “What we had to do was take control of our community.” But for Tim Holmes, police chief advisory board member, president of the Broadmoor Neighborhood Association and owner of Zocalo Coffehouse, the city’s track record isn’t helping matters.
He said it would be irresponsible for the city “to impose surveillance on its citizens without making a significant effort to ensure awareness of this by the people who live here,” adding, “Our city has already gone down the path without the public, or in many cases even the council being informed.”
Cassidy expressed concerns about the mass sharing of data and possible use of facial recognition software in the future, something not currently used or included in the city’s plans.
Using cameras with facial recognition abilities “is part of the future of public safety,” Spagnoli said, as is sharing data among law enforcement agencies. She said she hoped to later expand the public safety camera program to include public-private partnerships like other cities have done while still keeping data secure.
A “very clear concern that came out of 9/11 was the failure of agencies to share information,” Spagnoli said, “and I can tell you that the future is continuing to share information with public safety agencies and it’s to solve crime.”

Pope Benedict today pinned responsibility for the worldwide recession squarely on greed and an amoral fascination with technological progress for its own sake.
This must be tackled, he said, by the creation of a global political authority and financial order based not just on the search for ever greater profits, but on ethics and a sense of the common good.
The pontiff made the appeal in a 144-page encyclical – a reflection on doctrine that is the highest form of papal writing – three days before he was due to discuss the global downturn with Barack Obama.
Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth) is Benedict's third encyclical and the first to deal exclusively with economic and social issues. In one section, he says the current economic crisis is "clear proof" of the "pernicious effects of sin".
The pope's analysis echoed some of the criticisms made by the archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, of government policies that target growth to the exclusion of wider social considerations. But, as its title suggests, the papal encyclical is a primarily theological discourse which takes as its point of departure the argument that only a belief in the truth as proclaimed by Christianity can offer the necessary answers.
"A Christianity of charity without truth would be more or less interchangeable with a pool of good sentiments," Benedict writes. His reflection – delayed by more than a year by the world economic crisis – nevertheless contains numerous specific criticisms and recommendations. Though the pontiff does not use the word "capitalism" in the encyclical, there are lengthy reflections on morality in economics.
In a key passage, the encyclical says: "The conviction that the economy must be autonomous, that it must be shielded from 'influences' of a moral character, has led man to abuse the economic process in a thoroughly destructive way. In the long term, these convictions have led to economic, social and political systems that trample upon personal and social freedom, and are therefore unable to deliver the justice that they promise."
Then in an unequivocal critique of unbridled markets, the pope writes that "grave imbalances are produced when economic action, conceived merely as an engine for wealth creation, is detached from political action, conceived as a means for pursuing justice through redistribution."
At a press conference in the Vatican, the pope's technical consultant, Stefano Zamagni, an economics professor at the University of Bologna, denied the encyclical was anti-capitalist, but added that it "views capitalism in its historical dimension and goes beyond it".
He noted that "the market economy is broader than just capitalism", which was merely one variant. In another section of the reflection, Benedict argues that "financiers must rediscover the genuinely ethical foundation of their activity … right intention, transparency, and the search for positive results are mutually compatible and must never be detached from one another."
Then, in a passage that builds on ideas first voiced by his predecessor, John Paul II, the pope argues that globalisation has made necessary a "reform of the United Nations Organisation and likewise of economic institutions and international finance so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth".
One of his most senior advisers, cardinal Renato Martino, said: "The encyclical is not asking for a super- or world government." But it comes very close to doing so. It proposes a "true world political authority" that "would need to be universally recognised and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice and respect for rights." It would be asked to "manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis [and] to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis."
But its responsibilities would be more than just economic. They would include securing "timely disarmament, food security and peace". The new body, a reformed UN, would also be called upon "to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration".
Often regarded as the first "green" pope, Benedict also took advantage of his encyclical to make clearer his ideas on the importance of respecting the environment. But Zamagni said the document implicitly rejected forms of environmental thinking that put other forms of creation on a par with humankind. | positive |

To add tracks directly from the browser, right click on the track to see options. Step 3: Browser viewing options When viewing collections within the browser, the following viewing options are available: Re-order collections within the browser Drag and drop collections (composite tracks) within the browser to rearrange the order in which they appear in the browser. Sorting by similarity To sort by similarity, right-click the collection in the browser window and select Sort by Similarity . For the given region visible in the browser window, tracks within the collection will sort in order of similarity. Sorting by similarity counts the number of pixels set in each column and then uses matrices to build a neighbor joined tree, which then has its leaves sorted to make an optimal ordering. The source of the optimal leaf sorting algorithm is credited below. Sorting by magnitude To sort by magnitude, right-click the collection in the browser window and select Sort by Magnitude . For the given region visible in the browser window, tracks within the collection will sort in order of magnitude, with the highest in magnitude at the top of the subtracks in the collection where magnitude reflects the total number of pixels set when drawing each track. Tip: Displaying collection names in the browser: Once a collection has been created and tracks have been added to it, click GO (upper right) to view the collection in the browser window. In the browser, mouse-over the gray vertical buttons at the left window frame to see the name of each collection. Step 4: Configure collection Track Color: Track color for all subtracks in a collection can be set by double-clicking the collection folder in the right window of the Track Collection Builder, which will display a pop-up dialog box. In the pop-up, a color can be set for the subtracks in the collection. Color will be applied as a gradient to subtracks in the collection (e.g., if red is selected, the subtrack graphs will appear in varied shades of red within the browser window). To revert back to the original track color, change the color picker to '#000000'. To change the track color to black rather than any non-black original color, set the color picker to any shade of black besides '#000000', such as '#000001'. For example, if a track's original color is green, you can change it to red with the color picker. To change this track back to the original color (green), set the color picker to '#000000'. If you instead want to change that track to black, select any shade of black in the color picker, such as '#000001'. Merge methods (aggregate/overlay graphing view options): None Default setting; no overlay/merge is applied. Subtracks appear as individual tracks within the collection/composite. Transparent Subtrack graphs are merged together with transparent overlay views. Solid Subtrack graphs are merged together with solid overlay views. Stacked Subtrack graphs are layered horizontally with solid overlay views for each subtrack. Add Subtrack graphs are layered horizontally and merged into one solid overlay color; the silhouette of 'stacked.' For this 'add' view, there is also the option to configure how missing data are treated (see section below). Subtract The first (top) subtrack is subtracted from the sum of the others. Note: Re-order collection subtracks in the 'Collected Tracks' pane to change which subtract is at the top. For this 'subtract' view, there is also the option to configure how missing data are treated (see section below). Tracks in collections can be displayed with multiWig aggregate/overlay "merge" methods (stacked, transparent, etc.) as well as new add & subtract options. Missing data treatment: Missing=0 Default setting. Missing data are replaced with a 0 (zero). Graphing will be drawn at the zero point for the x-axis and y-axis (0,0). Note: Calculations (where 'Merge Method' = 'Add' or 'Subtract') will use a zero in the arithmetic. Missing=missing Graphing will not be drawn for missing data points. Where data are missing for any point in the calculation, the calculated result for that position point will be missing. Step 5: Saving and sharing collections Collections will be available 48 hours before expiring. You must save your session to preserve collections long-term and to allow sharing. Even after saving collections and their configurations in a session, it is still highly recommended to keep local back-ups of your session contents and any associated custom tracks.

Enbridge Energy has failed to establish the need for its proposal to replace its aging Line 3 crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota and it might be better to just shut down the existing line, the Minnesota Department of Commerce said Monday.
In filings with the state Public Utilities Commission on Monday, the agency said refineries in Minnesota and the upper Midwest already have sufficient supplies of crude oil and little capacity for processing more of it. It said Minnesota's demand for gasoline and other refined petroleum products appears unlikely to increase over the long term. And it said the proposal carries serious environmental and socio-economic risks that outweigh the benefits to Minnesota.
"In light of the serious risks of the existing Line 3 and the limited benefit that the existing Line 3 provides to Minnesota refineries, Minnesota would be better off if Enbridge proposed to cease operations of the existing Line 3, without any new pipeline being built," said a filing by Kate O'Connell, manager of the department's Energy Regulation and Planning Unit.
Decision rests with commission
The proposal by Calgary, Alberta-based Enbridge to replace Line 3, which was built in the 1960s to carry Canadian crude to its terminal in Superior, Wisconsin, has generated strong opposition from tribal and environmental groups. That's because the company's preferred route cuts through the Mississippi River headwaters region and pristine lake country where Ojibwe bands harvest wild rice, and because the new pipeline could carry tar sands oil, which they consider dirtier to produce than lighter crude. Business and labour groups back the $7.5 billion Enbridge project.
The final decision on whether to grant a certificate of need is up to the commission, which is independent of Gov. Mark Dayton's administration, though the Democratic governor appointed all five commissioners. The commission must also decide on a route. Enbridge wants to follow Line 3's existing corridor at the start of its route across Minnesota, but take a more southerly path for the rest.
The commission is scheduled to decide those questions in April after extensive further proceedings and more chances for the public to weigh in.
'Considerable controversy'
Dayton called the Commerce analysis "very comprehensive," but said he would wait for the "complete record" to emerge from the 30-day response period before declaring his view on the project. He said he was confident the commission would make a decision in the state's best interests.
"This document will arouse considerable controversy," the governor said in a statement. "That discord should be recognized as part of the wisdom of the process."
Republican House Speaker Kurt Daudt called the filings "yet another example of (Democrats) siding with extreme environmental activists while putting Minnesotans' jobs and safety at risk."
In a statement Monday evening, Enbridge said it disagreed with the state agency's filings and is reviewing the evidence.
Chance to respond
The company called the infrastructure critical, adding that it would be "replaced with the most advanced materials, most up to date technology and under superior construction methods."
The company will have a chance to file a formal response with the commission within the 30 days. But Enbridge previously said it needs to replace Line 3 because it has had to sharply restrict the volume the pipeline carries to just over half its original capacity of 760,000 barrels per day. And it said the old pipeline's maintenance needs continue to grow. It calls Line 3 a vital link for meeting the demand for Canadian oil from refineries in Minnesota, Wisconsin and elsewhere. The replacement would have a capacity of 844,000 barrels per day, the Commerce filings said.
Commerce said that if the PUC approves the project, it should require a stronger emergency response plan, thicker pipe and other safety measures, as well as more insurance coverage and other financial assurances for cleaning up major releases and decommissioning the pipeline when it reaches the end of its useful life. | positive |
Images of a group of university students wearing hanfu, the traditional Han Chinese dresses, at Changsha’s Taiping Street calling for a boycott of Christmas celebrations have gone viral and sparked heated discussions online.
Each of the students held a sign with calligraphy in traditional Chinese characters, which reads “Boycott Christmas. Chinese people should not celebrate foreign festivals”.
One sign read, “Foreigners have created Apple. What about us?”
Chinese people should celebrate traditional Chinese festivals instead, the students said.
On the microblogging platform Sina Weibo, many commenters mocked the students for wearing cheap costumes rented from photo studios rather than the real traditional hanfu.
“Are these guys trying to sell us something or are they really dumb?” asked Sina Weibo user @i定哥 who works in Shenzhen as a history teacher in a secondary school. “If you want to celebrate traditional Chinese festivals you go ahead, why oppose other people’s celebration of Christmas? This is our freedom and our personal right.”
“If you’re going to boycott foreign festivals, will you also boycott foreign cosmetic products? Foreign movies and drama serials? Foreign-made mobile products and computers? Only stupid people will keep asking for boycotts and advocate a return to a closed nation. Learn from the Tang Dynasty, that was one great nation!” he added.
An editorial in the Global Times observed that for most young people in China, Christmas is a completely secular affair, and a day of revelry devoid of religious significance. Rather than having been changed by foreign festivals such as Christmas, it’s the young people of China that have changed Christmas by celebrating it their own way, it said.
“The popularity of Christmas and other foreign festivals will not pose a threat to traditional Chinese festivals,” the Global Times added. “In fact, we may be able to find some inspiration here to see what we need to do to ensure that traditional Chinese culture lives on.”

A new technology that re-creates important characteristics of structures in the lung could eventually be a safer alternative to certain types of respiratory and cardiac machines used to treat people whose lungs have failed due to disease or injury.
Dark red blood flows into the device, where it exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen and emerges on the other side much brighter.
By using manufacturing techniques originally designed to make computer chips, biomedical engineers have in recent years made significant progress toward mimicking the mechanisms of certain organ systems, the healthy functionality of which is contingent on very precise chemical and physical conditions. Blood, for example, is extremely sensitive to environments other than the ones it encounters in healthy living systems. Now engineers at Draper Laboratory say they’ve designed a new lung therapy, composed of tiny channels molded into a biocompatible polymer that is capable of handling high blood flow rates. If things go as they plan, the therapy will be much safer than those used today.
It’s common for critically ill people to experience acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in which fluid builds up in the lungs and prevents the normal exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Mechanical ventilation of the lungs, the most commonly used therapy for such patients, is akin to asking someone to “exercise a broken arm,” says Jeff Borenstein, who leads the microfluidic lung project at Draper. The invasive therapy involves forcing high concentrations of oxygen into the lungs at high pressures, and does not allow the diseased or damaged tissue to heal, he says. Even worse, it commonly leads to serious complications including lung tissue toxicity and pneumonia.
An alternative to mechanical ventilation is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which entails drawing a patient’s blood and running it through a device that removes carbon dioxide and adds oxygen to it before returning the blood to the patient’s body. Traditionally, ECMO has been used mainly as a life-saving measure if mechanical ventilation doesn’t work or is impossible, and is more commonly used in children. Today’s ECMO machines, in which blood flows over a bundle of porous fibers through which oxygen is pumped, are complicated and require specialized expertise to operate. Blood tends to clot in the device, which is very unlike the environment in the lung, so patients must take large doses of anti-clotting medication. This can lead to other dangerous complications such as bleeding in the brain or gastrointestinal system.
The new microfluidic device, which is simpler in design and provides the flowing blood an environment much more like what it encounters in the lungs, could essentially replace the “guts” of conventional ECMO machines, says David O’Dowd, program manager for biomedical systems at Draper. If things go as planned, it will be ready to test in animals in two years, and ready for human testing in three, he says.
By stacking layers of biocompatible plastic with microchannels patterned on their surface, Borenstein’s team has built a “three-dimensional branching structure” in which larger channels gradually branch into smaller ones similar to the way larger blood vessels branch into capillaries.
Other research groups are also pursuing microfluidic-based gas exchange technologies, but Borenstein says his team’s device is unique in the degree to which it mimics the actual biological system—something made possible by the proprietary methods the group used to achieve the 3-D branching. While flowing through the device, blood is much less likely than it is in an ECMO machine to “think it should be clotting,” says Borenstein. It also puts the oxygen and blood into closer proximity, which allows for more efficient gas exchange compared with conventional ECMO.
This unique design is what has allowed the team to achieve blood flow rates at least 10 times faster than competing microfluidic technologies, according to Borenstein. Recently, the group demonstrated a flow rate of 100 milliliters per minute using bovine blood. Now the goal is to scale it up so it can handle liters of blood per minute without sacrificing the attributes that reduce clotting risk.
Because a device like this would be simpler, more efficient, and would not require patients to take lots of blood thinners, it could be much safer than today’s ECMO machines for long-term use, says Phillip Camp, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston who researches mechanical support systems for patients who have heart or lung failure. That could be especially useful to help people through flare-ups of common chronic lung conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If the technology can be successfully scaled up and commercialized, he says, it has the potential to “revolutionize how we take care of folks who have acute respiratory failure.” | positive |
Ivy Book Bindings: Mini-Reviews: The Nightmare Affair and Perfect Scoundrels Pages Home About Review Policy Contact Sunday, February 17, 2013 Mini-Reviews: The Nightmare Affair and Perfect Scoundrels Title: The Nightmare Affair Author: Mindee Arnett Rating: 2 Stars/DNF Release Date: March 5th, 2013 From first glance, Arnett's debut seems to have a lot going for it. An eye-catching cover? Check. Gorgeous title fonts and imagery? Check. A fascinating new idea? Check. Unfortunately, however, The Nightmare Affair is - no pun intended - a nightmare to read. While it starts off promising enough with a unique premises, it soon deteriorates into nothing more than a stereotypical paranormal mystery, riddled with a Hogwarts-eque boarding school and topped off with silly, unrealistic dialogue and characterization. The Nightmare Affair starts out well enough, grabbing the reader in from the first chapter itself as we are introduced to our protagonist, Dusty, and her nighttime duty of gracing humans with nightmares. On this particular night, she happens to be in the home of Eli, an extremely good-looking guy from her former high school. Usually, kneeling over a hot, shirtless guy while he sleeps to give him a nightmare wouldn't be a problem, but tonight, everything goes wrong. For one, Eli's nightmare takes place on the grounds of Dusty's current school, a place for those with paranormal powers - such as werewolves, faeries, and nightmares - to hone their powers and, also, a place that Eli should know nothing about. Yet, to make matters worse, when Eli wakes up, Dusty's magic refuses to work on him and the girl they've both seen dead in his nightmare is found to be murdered just hours later. Needless to say, with such an engrossing beginning, I had high hopes for this one. Yet, to my immense disappointment, Chapter 1 is as good as it gets. Dusty is whisked away, back to her boarding school and from there, everything just gets worse. One of my biggest issues with this debut is the dialogue. It is obvious that Mindee Arnett doesn't really know - or understand - teenagers. Not only are the conversations in this story riddled with cliches, but the interactions with adults seemed too stereotypical and unreal to truly seem plausible. Dusty's mother, Moira, is cast in an utterly ridiculous light, failing to provide a foundation for a strong mother-daughter bond and Dusty's rivals in her school are just as predictable as your run-of-the-mill blonde cheerleader, from their expressions to the next words that come out of their mouth. If all this wasn't bad enough, the romance set-up between Eli and Dusty is obvious - and far too boring - from the very beginning. As characters, Eli and Dusty bring nothing new to what we've already seen done time-and-time again and as a reader who went into this book looking for originality, I came across only the same old bland story lines, characters, and settings. From what I've heard from my trusted friends, it turns out that Arnett's debut has a love triangle to top this all off, one that seems wholly unnecessary since even I can already tell you who Dusty will chose, despite not having met the second guy yet. Honestly, this book is just too simplistic, poorly executed, and unoriginal to be worth my time. I gave it nearly a hundred pages before giving up and simply have to arrive at the conclusion that it is not for me. I know plenty of readers who have found to be a fun and enjoyable piece, but I am unfortunately not one of them. If you don't mind a rather typical, but entertaining, paranormal mystery, The Nightmare Affair will most likely be your cup of tea, but if, like me, you were drawn to this novel because of its potential uniqueness in an overdone genre, look elsewhere. Title: Perfect Scoundrels (Heist Society, #3) Author: Ally Carter Rating: 4 Stars Obviously, Ally Carter and I need to have a chat. A long one. Preferably ending with her releasing her books all in the summer so I don't waste my day reading instead of studying for my tests or doing my physics homework, all which I have to do now at around 10 PM. Still, I have to admit, this was worth it. Perfect Scoundrels is hands down the best HS novel so far and I hope they just continue to get better from her on out. Unlike the last two novels which focus solely on heists, Perfect Scoundrels is about stealing back Hale. Nope, he hasn't been kidnapped, but ever since the death of his grandmother, he hasn't been the same. Now, Kat has to do everything in her power to make it okay and bring back the Hale she knows, even if it means finding his grandmother's real will and taking on a criminal who may just be as clever as she is. What makes Perfect Scoundrels such a phenomenal novel is the mere fact that Carter has written three-dimensional characters. Finally. While her previous novels were fun, engaging, and compelling, Perfect Scoundrels blows them all away by exposing the more vulnerable side of Hale, showing us the deep ravine that actually separates the worlds that Hale and Kat live in, and ultimately forging stronger relationships. We get to see a different side of Hale, but also of Kat, especially since family plays a huge role in this book. Not just the family you're born into, but the family of friends you decide to trust and who remain loyal to you, no matter what. For me, though, Perfect Scoundrels came alive because of all the raw emotion in it. Carter still retains her classic style of writing, fast-paced plot lines, intelligent con plans, and she throws in a fair share of heists too, but there's so much more of everything in this novel. It is more, more than what we've come to expect from Carter and in the best possible way. I can now only keep my fingers crossed that this series will continue to improve and its characters will retain the depth we've been lucky enough to glimpse in this installment.

It sounds really middle of the road, although the very beginning reminds me of Monsters Inc.! And, I really want to read Ally's books - they all sound so goo ReplyDelete Replies Reply Maja (The Nocturnal Library) February 17, 2013 at 5:08 AM Yes! We pretty much felt the same way about both of these. You know I agree about Perfect Scoundrels, it WAS the best one yet, and apparently, there will be mooooore! I DNF-ed The Nightmare Affair for the same reasons you did. It felt like a complete waste of my time and I figured I have better things to read. I really wanted it to be original and special but oh, well, what can you do. Great reviews! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Suzanne (Parabooklover) February 17, 2013 at 5:55 AM I finished the Nightmare Affair and gave it 3.5 stars. I'm on the blog tour for it next week. But I did find it disappointing. Having met the second guy, he wasn't impressive and it was a very predictable read, but was slightly redeemed by the ending. I will pick up the sequel when it comes out, and hopefully things will have improved. I'm glad to see you enjoyed Perfect Scoundrels, I haven't read this series. Great review Keertana ReplyDelete Replies Reply tthepageturner February 17, 2013 at 6:13 AM You took the words right out of my mouth. After seeing the lovely cover and reading the quirky synopsis I was really looking forward to The Nightmare affair, but I was left sourly disappointed. The dialogue didn't really work for me and tbh I was quite bored after the first few chapters. Thanks for the honest review! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Sam (Realm of Fiction) February 17, 2013 at 6:42 AM I enjoyed The Nightmare Affair more than you did, but I was also a little disappointed. I suppose as it was one of my most anticipated releases this year, I was expecting it to blow me away. Sorry you couldn't finish it. :( I haven't read your review of Perfect Scoundrels as I'm starting the series soon, but I'm really glad to see a high rating! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Jasprit February 17, 2013 at 9:03 AM I felt exactly the same way about both of these books as you did Keertana, I rated The Nightmare Affair 2 stars and had to literally force myself through it, I found it a bit cliched and parts of it so predictable, it's a shame as like you I had such high hopes for it! Also yay for loving Perfect Scoundrels, I hated seeing Hale this way, but like you said it definitely made Perfect Scoundrels a more of an emotional read compared to her previous two books! Great reviews Keertana! :) ReplyDelete Replies Reply Rachel February 17, 2013 at 10:45 AM I have The Nightmare Affair as well, so this is disappointing news. Although, sometimes it's nice to have a light predictable read. Yet, who has the time to waste? Everyone seems to have enjoyed the latest installment of Heist Society. I haven't yet picked up the series, and to be honest, I probably won't, but glad to see you loved it. It says something if a book distracts you enough you put off other things to finish it. Darn homework! ;) Great reviews Keertana, as usual. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Livvy February 17, 2013 at 3:38 PM I'm sorry to hear about The Nightmare Affair. I have that one to read. Cliches do annoy me quite a lot so I will probably be annoyed, but I'm willing to give it a try. I've yet to read a book by Ally Carter, but I definitely need too. Especially since I've heard such brilliant things about Heist Society. Great reviews, dearest! :) ReplyDelete Replies Reply Savindi@ The Streetlight Reader February 17, 2013 at 3:42 PM Lol I love your definition of a "mini review." Your reviews are always so awesome Keertana.I liked your review for The Nightmare Affair a lot. I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy this one. I guess I liked it a bit more than you did, but I do agree with you about the dialogue and the characters. I've never read anything by Ally Carter. I've heard good things about her books. Maybe I will pick them up someday :) ReplyDelete Replies Reply Lauren February 17, 2013 at 6:29 PM Oh bummer about Nightmare Affair. I just downloaded that one, but I have a feeling it's going to be a miss for me too. Reading Perfect Scoundrels now and loving it so far—I love seeing the more vulnerable side of Hale too. Great mini reviews! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Jess February 18, 2013 at 12:21 PM Perfect Scoundrels was probably my favourite book in the series yet and although I felt bad for Hale his grief added a new layer to these usually fun light hearted books, lovely review Keertana! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous February 18, 2013 at 12:26 PM What a shame! I was looking forward to Nightmare Affair because it had such a unique premise but now I don't think I want to read it. I've had enough of typical YA paranormal romances. I need something different. And I really need to read something by Ally Carter. I will have to get on that. Glad you liked this one! Great reviews, Keertana! ReplyDelete Replies Reply elena February 18, 2013 at 5:53 PM I was really looking forward to The Nightmare Affair but after all the mixed reviews, I'm wary. I'm really glad you enjoyed PS though! I totally agree about characters getting more depth. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Kailia Sage February 18, 2013 at 10:17 PM Ah so sad about The Nightmare Affair! The cover is gorgeous and idea sounded so amazing but oh well. Perfect Scoundrels is a book I am so scared to read! I'm not sure how I feel about it ending (this is the last book in the series, right?) so I've been worried about reading it. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Unknown February 19, 2013 at 8:00 AM I had high expectations from The Nightmare Affair!! I am so sad to hear you didn't like it... The romance is always the most important part of the book and it's really bad that the romance here wasn't good. Off my to-read list! Thank you for your honest opinion. New follower! Please check out my new blog too. Thank you (: Sapir @ Diary of a Wimpy Teen Girl ReplyDelete Replies Reply Candace February 19, 2013 at 9:51 PM Shoot. I just skimmed The Nightmare Affair after seeing your rating. All I can say is that I really hope I like it more. I already have it, so I'll be trying it anyway. I'm so happy to hear Perfect Scoundrels is the best yet. While I have enjoyed the books in the series I always felt like the characters were lacking something. And the romance was so frustrating cause it never went anywhere. So I'm excited to read this one since you say it's the best yet. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Add comment Load more...

Romania captured the world’s attention last week when hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets, protesting a government decree that many saw as backtracking on fighting corruption.
Corruption is an endemic problem across Eastern Europe. But Romania’s long struggle against it has placed the issue at the center of its political debate. The government decree would have decriminalized some corruption offenses, which alarmed Romanian judges and prosecutors. In Brussels, the European Commission expressed concern, as many people inside and outside Romania feared the decree could undermine the rule of law in one of Europe’s youngest democracies.
Although the government revoked the decree and survived a no-confidence vote on Wednesday, opponents vowed to continue to fight, and on Thursday the justice minister, Florin Iordache, submitted his resignation.
As the protests intensified last week, The New York Times asked Romanians to share their personal encounters with corruption. They spoke of constant, everyday bribery — at hospitals, schools and public institutions. Some people felt helpless, saying that corruption was a deeply rooted cultural problem. Many were infuriated by the government’s decree, which would have directly benefited some prominent politicians, and feared the edict could erode the country’s long-term commitment to fighting corruption. | positive |
Canwest Global Communications Corp. reported today (July 10) that its publishing revenues are down $138 million in the first nine months of this fiscal year.
The parent company, which includes the broadcasting assets, lost $109.6 million in the most recent quarter, which ended May 31. Over nine months, it has lost $1.58 billion including a $1.2-billion writedown earlier this year.
Canwest owns 13 daily newspapers, including the Vancouver Sun, Province, and National Post. It also owns 26 community papers including the Vancouver Courier, North Shore News, Richmond News, Royal City Record, Delta Optimist, and Now papers.
Canwest acknowledged in its news release that Canwest Limited Partnership, which is the corporate name of the publishing arm, is “in default under the terms of its senior credit facilities”.
Publishing advertising was off 18 percent, but that was slightly offset by an increase in circulation revenue over the nine-month period. Employment advertising was down 60 percent in the third quarter compared to the same period a year ago, whereas real estate advertising was off 47 percent, and automobile advertising declined 21 percent.
In the March 1 to May 31 period, Canwest circulation volume fell seven percent over the same period a year ago, according to the company’s management discussion and analysis document, which was released today.
Canwest reported that circulation was approximately 23 percent of publishing revenue from March 1 to May 31. That’s up from 19 percent of publishing revenue during the same three months of 2008.
Canwest recently announced a $1 monthly increase in home-delivery fees to the Province and Vancouver Sun, effective August 1. | positive |
Update: Another GTA Online cheat menu and trainer, called 'Menyoo', has also shuttered, its website now only displaying a message similar to the one found on Force Hax's website, though this one states the charity has been specifically determined by Take-Two Interactive:
"After discussions with Take-Two Interactive, effective immediately we are ceasing all maintenance, development and distribution of the Menyoo cheat menu services. We will be donating our proceeds to a charity designated by Take-Two. We apologize for any and all problems Menyoo has caused to the Grand Theft Auto Online community."
Menyoo was (and appears to still be) usable in singleplayer mode for free. For use online, however, it required players to purchase it.
Original story: This past week we reported that modding tool OpenIV, which has been used for years to create and play singleplayer mods for Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5, was shutting down following the developers receiving a legal notice from Take-Two Interactive. It now appears OpenIV isn't the only tool targeted by GTA's publisher.
While the developers of OpenIV took measures to insure that its modding tools couldn't be used in GTA Online, only in singleplayer, there are other mod tools and menus that can be used to cheat and grief in GTA 5's multiplayer mode. 'Force Hax', a subscription-based cheat and mod menu for GTA Online, is one such tool—or at least it was. Force Hax has closed after being contacted by Take-Two.
The Force Hax site, which billed itself as 'The Dark Side of GTAV PC Modding' and boasted it was an 'Undetected GTAV Modmenu for PC' that 'Bypasses Latest Rockstar Anti-Cheat' offered its services to paying customers for $6.99 a week, $15.99 a month, or $31.99 for three months. The site has been taken down and now only displays the following message:
"After discussions with Take-Two Interactive, effective immediately we are ceasing all maintenance, development and distribution of the Force Hax cheat menu services. We will be donating our proceeds to charity and we apologize for any and all problems Force Hax services have cause to the Grand Theft Auto Online community."
A YouTube video from May of the Force Hax mod menu in action shows an Online player generating sacks of cash, while a warning "Do not bank the money. Keep it as cash or you will get banned" appears on screen. The video also shows the player using other cheats and griefs, like teleporting other players to their location, spawning cars and weapons, enabling god and noclip mode, teleporting around the map, and insta-killing other players remotely.
Meanwhile, in the wake of singleplayer modding suite OpenIV's shutdown, reviews of GTA 5 on Steam have plummeted to 'Overwhemingly Negative' and a petition at change.org to 'Save OpenIV' has received over 35,000 signatures (up from 20,000 just yesterday).
I don't expect a petition to appear in support of bringing back the Force Hax griefing tools, considering how much misery it no doubt caused the non-cheating players of GTA Online. It also hasn't been revealed which charity the makers of Force Hax will be donating their proceeds too, or how much they plan to donate. | positive |
In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that mice can be cloned from intact urine-derived cells without harm to the animal’s body. There are several methods for collecting donor cells from animals noninvasively. For example, cells can be obtained from the skin surface by scratching or from hair follicles. However, these cells are usually dried and have a hardened cell surface compared with living cells. These cells can be used to extract DNA for the purpose of identifying victims or parentage. However, it is difficult to use these cells for NT for technical reasons.
In this study, two or three different types of cells could be identified in the mouse urine samples. These cells could be squamous epithelial cells from the urethra and bladder, and renal tubular cells9. Some could not be used because of their large size and hard cell surface. However, the small and round cells with a soft surface could be used as nuclear donors immediately after collection. It was easy to inject their nuclei into enucleated oocytes, and the ease of injection of these cells was similar or superior to the injection of cumulus cells and fibroblasts. Moreover, most of the urine-derived cells survived until use.
The ingredients contained in mammalian urine are not optimal for cell survival. The osmolality is high, and uric acid and ammonia are toxic. Although mice have the enzyme uricase24, which converts uric acid to the less toxic allantoin, urine is still not an appropriate environment for survival of somatic cells. Therefore, it was thought that even if live cells could be collected from urine8,10, the extreme environment would negatively affect cell survival and nuclear integrity. However, we generated male and female cloned mice from young and old mice, and demonstrated their fertility by mating them with each other and producing offspring. This strongly suggests that newly collected fresh and intact urine-derived cells are sufficiently viable to be used as nuclear donors for animal cloning.
In this study, we also tried to establish ntES cell lines from urine-derived cell nuclei. The establishment rate was high (24%) compared with full-term development (1–3%); these values are similar to those reported previously22,23. When the establishment rate was calculated for the urine-derived cells, one cell line was obtained from only 15 urine-derived cells (389 total NT/26 total established cell lines). Therefore, if few donor cells are available, it is better to establish ntES cell lines than to produce cloned mice. Once established, ntES cell lines will divide indefinitely or can be cryopreserved until use. Cloned animals can be produced from ntES cell nuclei via serial NT20,21,25,26. Thus, establishing ntES cell lines provides a better overall chance of cloning animals from endangered species. We are now trying to generate chimeric mice using these ntES cells.
The numbers and concentrations of cells in urine varied between individual mice, and some individuals provided only a few cells in urine (Fig. 1C). It is unclear why cell numbers differed between individual mice because all mice were housed in a clean facility (SPF condition) and therefore all could have been considered to be in good health. The number of cells collected for urine from wild animals is expected to vary widely between individuals and to reflect the state of health, such as the presence of urinary tract infection.
One advantage of the NT method is that only a few cells are required as nuclear donors. Although the current success rate of animal cloning is not high, cloning procedures and the success rates are continuing to improve with new methods such as adding histone deacetylase inhibitors to the medium16,18,27. The number of required donor cells will continue to decrease with increased success rate; therefore, in the future, fewer urine-derived cells will be needed to rescue endangered species.
Recently, one cloned cow was generated from urine-derived cells, but clean cells were selected and cultured until a sufficient number of cells was achieved after several passages28. However, in practical terms, it is difficult to collect fresh urine from individual animals in the field, especially from small animals. If urine is collected long after urination, the urine-derived cells may be infected or damaged, and it may be difficult to increase the number of cells by in vitro culture. Our previous study demonstrated that cloned mice could be produced even from dead cells of frozen cadavers26. Therefore, even if urine-derived cells are not fresh or are dead because of delayed collection, it may still be possible to produce cloned animals from endangered species. Further research is needed to determine how long urine-derived cells can survive after urination and whether dead cells can be used for NT.
In conclusion, our study suggests that urine may be a good source of cells for NT to rescue endangered species without causing harm to animals. | positive |
All eyes are on Greece, where left-wing Alexis Tsipras became the new prime minister on Monday, Jan. 26. An open secularist, he took the oath of office without wearing a tie, and declined the blessing of the Greek Orthodox Church. Tsipras is the leader of Syriza, or Coalition of the Radical Left, a loose alliance of left-wing groups, including some who formerly split from the Greek Communist Party (KKE).
A triumphant Alexis Tsipras told Greeks that Syriza’s win in Sunday’s early general election meant an end to austerity and humiliation, and that the country’s regular and often fraught debt inspections were a thing of the past. “Today the Greek people have made history. Hope has made history,” Tsipras said in his victory speech at a conference hall in central Athens. A new epoch in Greek, and European, history has broken forth.
As expected, Syriza won Sunday’s elections in Greece with 149 of the 300 seats in the parliament. But that left Syriza two seats short of a majority, which obliged them to find a coalition partner.
Only two parties were potential partners, the centrist To Potami (the River) and the rightist anti-austerity ANEL (Independent Greeks). The KKE had said that it would not enter a coalition government with Syriza. Some have suggested that Syriza could have formed a minority government and then forged temporary alliances on the floor of parliament, issue by issue, but the Syriza leadership did not want that and chose the ANEL alliance route. What commitments Syriza made to ANEL to get it into the new government remain to be seen.
Tsipras has put together a cabinet that is in line with the more left-wing positions his party articulated during the campaign. His finance minister, the economist Yanis Varoufakis, has blogged scathingly about the austerity measures imposed on Greece by the “Troika” of the European Commission, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund as conditions for the 2011 financial bailout, calling them “fiscal waterboarding.”
The head of a new super-ministry in charge of negotiating with the Troika, Deputy Prime Minister Yanis Dragasakis, is a former member of the Central Committee of the KKE. The new minister of interior, in charge of police, Nikos Voutsis, was prominently involved in anti-austerity demonstrations in the past. His appointment is important because under the old regime the police were accused not only of brutality but of links to the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party.
The new foreign minister, Nikolaos Kotzias, is also a vocal opponent of the austerity measures. Minister of Productive Reconstruction Panagiotis Lafazanis is another former KKE member. Aside from the defense portfolio which went to ANEL leader, Panos Kammenos, ANEL got only minor cabinet posts.
Initial policy announcements by Tsipras are strikingly radical. On domestic policy, he immediately stopped further privatizations, including of port facilities, and doubled the minimum wage. He announced free electrical service for 300,000 of the country’s poorest families. There will be food aid and efforts to create jobs in a country where a quarter of the workforce is unemployed. Unpopular property taxes will be cut, but will be more than made up for by a crackdown on Greece’s notorious practice of tax evasion by the rich, and higher taxes on the wealthy. In the past Syriza has promised to tax the country’s wealthy shipping industry, which currently pays no income tax.
The new government plans to go to the Troika, not hat in hand, but with new demands, including the repayment by Germany of a “loan” that Greece was forced to hand over to the Nazis when they occupied the country during World War II. Greece will ask for new conditions for the repayment of its current bailout loans, amounting to a renegotiation and a moratorium on current payments.
On foreign policy, Tsipras repudiated a European Union statement blaming Russia for the recent bombing of a streetcar in Mariupol, Ukraine, which happened in the context of the ongoing fighting between the right-wing Ukrainian government in Kiev and dissident forces in Eastern Ukraine. In the past, Tsipras has denounced the Kiev regime as including “neo-Nazis.” However, for now there is no talk of pulling Greece out of NATO, nor out of the European Union and the euro.
Some European communist parties and others were elated by the Syriza victory. Pierre Laurent, national secretary of the French Communist Party, said, “With the victory of Syriza, the Greek people move to restore their dignity and write a new page in history … In France, it is possible also.” A similarly congratulatory message came from the United Left (Izquierda Unida) in Spain, an alliance which includes the Communist Party. But others were more cautious and critical, expressing worry about the appointment of Kammenos as defense minister, the lack of women in Tsipras’ cabinet, and the NATO question.
Among the Greek and European ruling classes, reactions to the election mix panic and rage. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble declared that the Troika and Germany would not budge from their harsh position toward Greece: that the Greeks have only themselves to blame for their current sufferings caused by irresponsible and dishonest management of their economy by past governments. The fact that Syriza has raised the issue of Nazi German despoiling of Greece during World War II, for which Greece was never compensated, did not improve the mood in Berlin. Other ruling-class figures threaten to push Greece out of the European Union.
If Tsipras sticks to his guns, there will be a mobilization of right-wing forces in Europe and beyond. The European ruling class does not just fear what might happen in Greece, it fears the example Greece might give to other poor nations such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland, which might throw over the Troika regime of austerity and privatization and demand that the crisis of capitalism not be balanced on the backs of workers and the poor.
Calls are coming in from organized labor to rally support for Greece against the threat of retaliation. The International Union of Food Workers issued a statement calling the Syriza election “a potential breakthrough.” But, the union said, “to carry out their program a government of the Left will need massive understanding and support abroad. Unions should be in the forefront of building that support.”

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Gunmen killed a senior female politician from a reformist party in Pakistan on Saturday night, the latest violent incident in a bloody election campaign and one that set off a war of words between two major opposition parties.
Around 150 people were killed in the run-up to national elections held last week, which handed a landslide victory to opposition leader Nawaz Sharif and his PML-N party.
It marked the first time an elected government replaced another one in a nation that has been run by military leaders for more than half its history.
Results from a handful of constituencies are still awaited amid accusations of vote-rigging. The shooting came hours ahead of repolling in a key area beset by allegations of voting fraud.
It was not immediately clear who killed Zara Shahid Hussain, a senior member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. The PTI has promised to reduce endemic corruption in the nuclear-armed nation of 180 million people.
The PTI’s leader, former international cricket star Imran Khan, immediately blamed the killing on the Muttahida Quami Movement. The MQM has a stranglehold on politics in Pakistan’s biggest city, Karachi.
“Her death has sent shockwaves across the rank and file of the party,” Khan said in a statement.
Police said that two gunmen shot Hussain dead outside her home in an upscale neighborhood of Karachi, he said.
“I hold (MQM leader) Altaf Hussain directly responsible for the murder as he openly threatened PTI workers and leaders through public broadcasts,” he added in a tweet.
“I also hold the British government responsible as I had warned them about British citizen Altaf Hussain after his open threats.”
MQM leader Hussain is wanted on murder charges in Pakistan and leads his party remotely from exile in England. His party is designated a terrorist organization by Canada, a charge it strongly denies.
In recent days he gave a speech which many Pakistanis felt was an incitement to attack political rivals. The British police have been flooded with complaints demanding an investigation.
The MQM leader insisted his words were taken out of context. MQM leaders held a press conference within hours of Hussain’s death to disclaim responsibility and demand a retraction from Khan.
Khan’s election campaign electrified many Pakistanis, pushing the PTI from a marginal party with no seats in the legislature to become Pakistan’s third largest party.
National polls held a week ago gave the MQM 18 out of 19 national assembly seats in its power base in Karachi. Repolling is due to be held Sunday in the final constituency, thought to be a stronghold of PTI, after many polling stations failed to open on election day.
The steamy port city of Karachi is Pakistan’s financial heart and home to 18 million people. It typically sees about a dozen murders a day, a deadly combination of political killings, attacks by Taliban and sectarian militant groups, and street crime. | positive |

There is a hallucinatory quality to the way intoxicating substances are bought and sold in Ontario these days. Choose your alcoholic poison — beer, wine, spirits — mindful that robust government regulation (not to mention revenue) remains on tap.
Antiquated drug laws that once dispatched small-time dope dealers and tokers to jail never made any sense. But in our haste to decriminalize and legalize marijuana, we have opened up a regulatory vacuum that looks increasingly dopey, writes Martin Regg Cohn. ( Dreamstime photo )
But choose your leafy medicine — marijuana, whether truly medicinal or merely recreational — knowing that government enforcement has gone up in smoke. Antiquated drug laws that once dispatched small-time dope dealers and tokers to jail never made any sense. But in our haste to decriminalize and legalize marijuana, we have opened up a regulatory vacuum that looks increasingly dopey. Now, all three levels of government are messing up while missing out on money.
Article Continued Below
First, federal plans to liberalize marijuana usage, while well-intentioned, are sending mixed signals across the country. Second, Ontario is moving slowly on its plans to profit from marijuana usage while safeguarding public health. Third, municipal enforcement, by police and zoning inspectors, has become so haphazard that a marijuana free-for-all is taking root. More than 100 pot dispensaries have magically mushroomed across Toronto, like so many pop-up stores smoking out the latest retail trend. This isn’t the first time governments have been caught flat-footed by fleet-footed entrepreneurs — Uber is expert at flouting laws for profit — but there are broader public and fiscal health considerations at play. While booze and tobacco are legal, they remain controlled substances sold only in licensed establishments. The Ontario government made a deliberate policy choice to limit expansion of beer and wine to selected supermarkets while pointedly excluding corner stores, motivated by social responsibility concerns and, yes, profitability. Sales of spirits, however, were kept out of supermarkets — restricted to the LCBO because of their much higher alcohol content and social concerns.
All those considerations apply equally to marijuana. Yet since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s public pledges before and during the 2015 federal election, a once-banned substance has become commonplace in corner stores — not the mom and pop variety, but those pop-up stores selling pot. Decriminalizing dope has always been the right thing to do, given how the social and policing costs of prohibition were prohibitive. But just as alcohol transitioned from prohibition to regulated distribution, so do marijuana sales cry out for enforcement. If one of the goals of decriminalization was to reduce lawlessness in an underground market of dope dealers, why reward and legitimize the network of uncontrolled sellers that arises in its place?
Article Continued Below
In recent weeks, police have belatedly cracked down on these storefront operations, whose suppliers are unregulated and unknown to us. But like pop-up stores anywhere, they will crop up again and again as long as the legal ambiguity and commercial opportunity remain. It is more than a game of cat and mouse. We now know that the marijuana sold today is far stronger than in the past, and its higher potency risks greater abuse. All the more reason to move quickly on controlling dope as we do cigarettes and alcohol. Medical marijuana requires a prescription from a medical doctor and can be supplied only by federally licensed producers. Like other controlled substances, it lends itself to distribution through pharmacies whose trained personnel have experience in dispensing narcotics. Recreational marijuana, on the other hand, could benefit from a pre-existing retail channel that has experience in province-wide distribution. No, not the Beer Store. The LCBO remains reasonably popular with customers despite (or possibly because of) its old Holiday Inn character — no surprises, for better or for worse. Its unionized staff are well-trained and primed for the task. Just as they recommend fine wines, LCBO workers would doubtless rise to the occasion when called upon to suggest a particular strain of grass highly regarded for its distinctive highs. With its 650 outlets across the province, the LCBO also has the virtue of being government-owned — ensuring any weed windfalls flow into the treasury at the very time its revenue base is being diluted by the encroachment of supermarkets into its erstwhile wine monopoly. An interdepartmental working group of government bureaucrats is mapping out future marijuana sales to “legalize, regulate and restrict access,” Finance Minister Charles Sousa told the Star’s Robert Benzie last week. At least there are no foreign-owned cartels to deal with . . . . Common sense in the distribution of dope means shutting down Toronto’s pop-up pot stores. And rebranding the once-liquor-focused LCBO. Perhaps the ICBO — Intoxication Control Board of Ontario? Martin Regg Cohn’s political column appears Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. mcohn@thestar.ca , Twitter: @reggcohn | positive |
Drone Racing In A French Forest Looks Just Like Star Wars Pod Racing
FPV Racing drone racing star wars style Pod racing are back!
Drone racing and Star Wars, it's as if these two things were destined—probably written of long ago in scrolling yellow writing—to come together. And now they have finally, thankfully, been united by a group of French quadcopter racing fanatics.
With a nod to the insanely good speeder bike chase on the forest moon of Endor in Return of the Jedi, and also the fast-flying pod race (below) from the not-so-insanely good Phantom Menace, this group of drone enthusiasts take to the woods in Airgonay, France for a trial run with the aim of organising a drone race event in the future.
The video is in French, so you'll have to hit the subtitles button to get an idea of what they're saying. But once you do you'll see them talk about what they call a "new discipline", which involves FPV (first person view) remote-controlled quadcopter racing on a 150m forest circuit.
The pilots compete in groups of four and see the circuit through video glasses only. The camera-mounted drones, which are custom-built to a smaller size to maximise effectiveness, relay the footage of the track back to the user.
"Shaped for the race, these racing drones offer the best trade-off between speed and manoeuvrability." states the video. "And the main difference is in the pilot's vision which, unlike in the traditional use where they never lose sight of the drone, the pilot doesn't see his drone but only what the camera of his drone is revealing." So it's a bit like a headset-enabled VR video game except set in the real-world, as confusing as that sounds.
And with woodland obstacles like low-hanging tree branches plus your fellow racers, combined with the shadow-play of the light edging through the trees, you need the instincts and reflexes of a Jedi to compete. Or so they claim. You need to use the Force. There, I said it.
If you fancy getting involved, they have a Facebook page and mention in the vid that they'll be running an international competitive event next year. | positive |

How to use “the steak clause” to win your next negotiation
Ryan Holmes Blocked Unblock Follow Following Jul 26, 2016
In the 2001 hit movie A Beautiful Mind, we got a peek into the brain of Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Nash. Brilliant (but also schizophrenic), Nash pioneered a negotiating concept known as the Nash Equilibrium. His insights, in particular about when it pays (or doesn’t) to change course, would go on to be applied to everything from nuclear arms negotiations to traffic planning and penalty kicks in football.
I’m not a mathematician. I’m certainly no John Nash. And this is no Nash Equilibrium. But I’d like to humbly present my small contribution to negotiation strategy: I call it the Steak Dinner Clause. It probably won’t change the course of global affairs, but it might just improve your next business deal.
Some context. A few years ago, my company was negotiating with a vendor and we had reached an impasse. For background, Hootsuite is a social media management tool. We also offer online education and certification in social media. To reach the right clients, we work with vendors to sell our education product. In this instance, we had spent weeks negotiating with this particular vendor on price, revenue sharing and other terms. And we were almost home free — until an overlooked detail brought us to a standstill.
No one had thought of credit card fees. When you buy something with a credit card, the seller generally has to eat the fee (around 2 percent of the purchase price). In this case, we couldn’t agree on who would have to swallow this fee — us or the vendor. For some reason, neither side was willing to budge on this small detail. We wouldn’t pay; they wouldn’t pay; and no one was willing to split the difference. In the end, the sum in question was no more than a few thousand dollars. But it threatened to derail everything.
Finally, we conceded: Fine, we’ll pay the credit card fees, but on one condition, the Steak Dinner Clause. (Note: This was a stroke of genius from my colleague and good friend Michael Blondé).
18 (s) Account Management:
Upon every $100,000 in revenue generated, and at the discretion of Hootsuite, Vendor will take two Hootsuite representatives out for a steak dinner, at a price not more than $450 including tax and gratuity.
In other words, we agreed to cover the fees, but they’d have to take us out to a steak dinner — their treat. In one sense, we got the short end of the stick — the fees far exceeded the value of the dinner. In another sense, however, this represented a huge win-win.
Why? The dinners would turn out to be a powerful way to build a business relationship with this vendor. Every few months, members of our team get together with members of their team — always at the same spot (a classic steakhouse called Hy’s in downtown Vancouver). Over the years, a lasting partnership has been built and expanded over porterhouses and New York strips. In fact, we’ve gone so often that our server knows our order by heart. (Thanks, Tim.) We now do more business with the vendor than ever, a relationship that both sides have benefitted from.
This might not seem so revolutionary. But consider the alternatives: Either the negotiation would have foundered completely or someone would have been left with onerous terms — hardly a healthy way to start a business relationship. Instead, we found a way around that impasse that was actually additive. Rather than a compromise that no one was happy with, we found a way forward that benefitted everyone.
Obviously, the Steak Dinner Clause doesn’t have to be about steak. (In fact, considering the environmental footprint of beef, we’re considering vegetarian alternatives.) It doesn’t even have to be about going to dinner. You might have a ski-weekend clause or an NHL-night clause or a spa clause. At its heart, this strategy is about turning an impasse and potentially adversarial situation into an opportunity to build a relationship. It requires a small concession on one side (with an eye toward bigger opportunities and up-sells down the road). In exchange, the other side agrees to host some kind of collaborative, social experience — something that gets both parties together, ideally on a recurring basis.
Yes, one party has to swallow a small loss. Yes, this approach is marginally more costly than a compromise solution. But the long-term payoff can be huge. The social gatherings become a platform to discuss what’s working (or not) and deepen the business relationship. In a world where actual face time with partners is increasingly rare — and long-term, trusted allies are harder than ever to come by — the return on a steak dinner (or equivalent) can be profound.
I know the Steak Dinner Clause idea is a little unconventional, but give it a try the next time you’re stuck in a negotiation. When our lawyer, Paula, first saw it in our contract, she laughed and thought it was a joke. Then she thought for a while and said it was one of the best pieces of legal work she’d seen. In the end, anything that can transform an roadblock into an opportunity is probably worth a second look. | positive |
Attorney general Loretta Lynch (Chip Somodevilla/Getty)
Like Newton’s or Mendel’s or Rothman’s, an incontrovertible law seems to govern the reaction to acts of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. It runs something like this: If the perpetrators of terrorism are Muslims, the most pressing problem American authorities face is not Islamic terrorism; it’s anti-Muslim rhetoric/crime. Thus, as the nation reeled from the deadliest act of Islamic terrorism on American soil since September 11, Loretta Lynch declared her “greatest fear” to be the “incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric” in the U.S., and promised that her Justice Department would “take action” (though how, precisely, is a matter of dispute).

But just how common are crimes against Muslims?
According to the FBI’s annual Uniform Crime Report, there were 1,014 hate-crime incidents motivated by religious bias in 2014. Of those, 154 — 15.2 percent — were anti-Islamic, a slight uptick from 2013’s 135 incidents (13.1 percent).
How alarming are 154 anti-Islamic crimes? Consider this: Last year saw 609 anti-Jewish incidents, and anti-Jewish attacks accounted for 60 percent of religiously motivated hate-crime incidents. This would be uninteresting if the Jewish population in the United States were four times the Muslim population — but it’s not. In fact, the Jewish population (6.8 million) is only about 1/3 larger than the Muslim population (4.5 million, extrapolating from various estimates). That means that not only are anti-Muslim crimes lower in the aggregate; they happen at a lower rate per capita, i.e., There is one anti-Muslim crime for every 29,221 American Muslims; there is one anti-Jewish crime for every 11,166 Jews.

Where is the outcry about the epidemic of anti-Jewish violence?
Of course, just because anti-Muslim hate-crime incidents are comparatively few in a given year does not mean that they are rare historically. Those concerned about the ever-present threat of an anti-Muslim “backlash” constantly point out that, prior to 2001, anti-Muslim hate crimes numbered about two dozen annually.
#share#But, in fact, anti-Muslim hate crimes have been comparatively rare since 2001, too, even if they have not receded to pre-2001 levels. The 154 incidents in 2014 are in line with the historical, post-2001 data, which shows an average of 139 incidents per year, with a low of 105 in 2008 and a high of 160 in 2010. Even in 2010, when numbers spiked, anti-Islamic attacks accounted for less than 2.5 percent of all hate-crime incidents.
RELATED: Dispelling the ‘Few Extremists’ Myth — the Muslim World Is Awash in Hate
And in 2001 itself? There were 481 anti-Islamic incidents — but that accounted, still, for less than 5 percent of all hate-crime incidents, and was still less than half of the anti-Jewish incidents that year.
More and more it seems that this administration has trumpeted a fabricated threat because it is unwilling to face up to a very real one.
Conservatives have been chastised for their condemnation of Loretta Lynch’s remarks. Writing shortly after last month’s attacks in Paris, The Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf preemptively defended the attorney general: “Urging people against turning their anger against innocent people is not an unserious priority. It is a reasonable, pragmatic, decent act.”
Advertisement
With that no reasonable person is in dispute. Every threat and assault committed against a Muslim on account of his or her religion is a reprehensible act. One hate crime is too many.
Advertisement
But Lynch and her ilk go further, playing down the threat of Islamic terrorism while playing up the threat American Muslims face from their own countrymen. That is a narrative that has no basis in fact. The notion that American Muslims face a unique, outsized threat of violence is simply not true, while the notion that the Islamic State is far from “contained” is tragically obvious.
More and more it seems that this administration has trumpeted a fabricated threat because it is unwilling to face up to a very real one.

Editor’s Note: This piece originally stated that Jews were “four times more likely” than Muslims to be victims of hate crimes. That number failed to account for victimization per capita. The revision above reflects this change. Also, a comparison to “anti-white” hate-crime incidents has been excised. | positive |

With the humidity stifling and the temperature soaring into the 90s, Bobby Kirk said this was not a good day for fishing.
"It was no good this morning. I never got a bite," Kirk said, standing in the shade of his porch off Rogers Road, one of the few dirt roads left in Oconee County. "I reckon it was too hot."
But the previous week, the 76-year-old man had caught the largest fish of his life -- a 40 pound flathead catfish.
"I sold him for $40," Kirk said as he chewed on a wad of J.D.'s Blend tobacco.
Kirk, who is known in this neck of the woods as an expert at training beagles to run rabbits, said he fishes most days at Lake Oconee, especially around the Dyar Pasture area of Greene County.
On the morning of July 12, Kirk went to the lake and set trot lines for catfish, which he planned to check the following morning. He organizes fishing ventures like Tuesday's to avoid the heat. He arrives at the lake before 6 a.m. and returns home by 10 a.m.
"I can't stand the heat. Now I could when I was young, but I can't do it now," he said.
The lifelong Oconee County resident still raises rabbit dogs.
"I raise those dogs pretty good. If it's a deer dog I ain't gonna keep it. If you go rabbit hunting you don't want to have to hunt a dog for three days," he said about beagles that chase deer and disappear in the woods.
Kirk fishes off a boat with a 1958 model outboard motor that he keeps in running shape. Recently it gave him some problems.
"I made the biggest mistake of my life. I went out to crank my motor on my boat and it wouldn't hit a lick. I went and got a set of points to put in it and it still wouldn't hit a lick. Finally I discovered one thing -- I didn't turn the gas on," he said with a laugh. "That's a good story. Tell me I'm getting old."
Kirk has a knack for growing plants, and his garden is filled with onions, tomatoes, okra and beans. He plans to can his abundance of tomatoes.
"I cold-process them in a jar and when you get ready to eat peas, you can take that tomato out and put it in your peas," he said.
While he has had some health problems, Kirk is ready for some adventure if he wins the lottery.
"If I was to hit it, I'd try to fly around the world and back. I wouldn't wear nothing but these camouflage overalls, but I'd get me some new ones," he said.
"Boy, you know what. Going to different places like that -- and they see you with your camouflage overalls on -- lots of women like them."
Kirk chuckled as he described the possibilities, then decided it was time to go inside.
"You know why people can't take the heat?" he asked. "Air-condition has ruined everybody. You know what I mean?" | positive |
Yesterday, numerous news outlets – including the Wall Street Journal and Reuters – published stories about a startling new study claiming that some 30% of employers plan to stop offering health insurance to workers as a result of the Affordable Care Act. There’s no doubt that this figure, derived form a study conducted by McKinsey consultants is noteworthy. Previous other reputable studies have said far fewer businesses would drop coverage, as the White House was eager to point out in the wake of news coverage stemming from the McKinsey study.
Rather than just report what was contained in the McKinsey study, however, I wanted to know more about the study itself. So I called up McKinsey today to ask about the methodology behind the employer survey. A McKinsey Quarterly article about the study said the results were based on a survey of 1,300 employers varying in size from variety of industries and regions. What the article didn’t say was anything else about how the study was conducted. Here’s what we would need to know to evaluate the integrity of the McKinsey study and make any judgments about the ACA based on it:
* What were the precise breakdowns of size, geographic location and industry for the businesses included in the survey? This would tell us if the sample was representative of American business as a whole. Small businesses, for instance, might be more likely to drop coverage due to the structure of the ACA.
* How were the businesses chosen? An unbiased sampling method here is key. If the list of businesses was culled from Chamber of Commerce memebrship or McKinsey client lists, this is important to know. Ditto if the list was generated in a more randomized way.
* What was the response rate? And how were businesses surveyed? If 13,000 businesses were contacted, but only 1,300 responded, such a 10% response rate could call into question the results. Also, there is, for example, a huge difference between surveys conducted in person, over the phone and over the Internet.
* Lastly, this tidbit was included in the McKinsey Quarterly article about the survey:
“…our survey educated respondents about [employer sponsored insurance] implications for their companies and employees before they were asked about post-2014 strategies.”
In other words, those conducting the survey may have primed respondents to say they would keep or drop coverage.
I asked McKinsey if a third party paid for the survey and they said no. On my other questions – about the methodology and what script was used to “educate respondents” – they declined to comment. | positive |

EDMONTON — A teenager from the Edmonton area has been arrested and charged with trying to leave Canada to take part in terrorist activity.
The RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in Alberta made the arrest on Thursday.
The 17 year old boy – who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act – was arrested in Beaumont, a bedroom community south of Edmonton.
The youth is facing two charges:
– Attempting to leave Canada to participate in activity of a terrorist group
– Attempting to leave Canada to commit offence that is terrorist activity
Court documents say the alleged offences involve the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and are to have taken place on or about March 8 at or near Beaumont, Edmonton, Calgary “and elsewhere.”

“While it may be difficult for parents to come forward to the police, it is important for families and communities to contact police as soon as they suspect that an individual is being radicalized,” said Sgt. Harold Pfleiderer, a media relations officer with the RCMP.
“While early intervention is our primary approach, after assessment, arrests and charges may be the only option in the interest of public safety. This also ensures that the individual has access to necessary support and assessment services,” added Pfleiderer.
The teen was denied bail Thursday by a justice of the peace, who cited safety and protection of the public.
The accused has been remanded in custody and is to appear in youth court April 9.

“We congratulate our police and national security agencies for their work in this case,” said a spokesperson for the federal minister of public safety.
“This is a further reminder that the threat of terrorism is real.

“That is why our government has put forward the Anti-terrorism Act, 2015 to better protect Canadians against jihadi terrorists, and that is why we are not sitting on the sidelines – as the Liberals and NDP would have do – and are instead joining our Allies in the international coalition in the fight against ISIL,” the ministry spokesperson continued.
Bill C-51, introduced in January, would give police broader powers and allow them to detain terror suspects and give new powers to Canada’s spy agency.
Opposition parties have criticized the bill for being too broad and vague and point out that are already some powers in place that Canada’s security agencies aren’t using.

By and large, nature is disgusting. It's chock full of bugs and hobos and other things that roll in feces. But amidst that slurry of nasty, science has been finding a number of medical breakthroughs. Nauseating, repulsive medical breakthroughs.
6 Hippo Sweat
Hippos are the guidos of the animal kingdom. They're huge, oily and they never sunburn. They're also known for being ridiculously territorial animals capable of gnawing a man to shreds with their vicious gums and Rubenesque, flapping jowls.
But, in studying these chubby, ill-tempered animals from a distance, one of the first things scientists noticed was their sweat. Rather than being clear like human sweat, hippo sweat is red and viscous. Noticing this was totally weird, researchers collected a bunch of hippo sweat probably by sacrificing a few grad students and running a swab across some hippo ass while they were distracted.

After a few hours of hard sciencing, they discovered that the sweat turned out to be a first-rate sunblock. It's filled with little microscopic structures that actually break up and scatter light molecules. It's also a first-rate antiseptic and an effective insect repellent. Kind of makes your sweat's ability to scare away women look pretty shitty by comparison, doesn't it?
Also this is how Hippo Trees are made.
Considering all the things it can do, hippo sweat is the obese, aquatic mammal wet-dream of any cosmetics company. As soon as scientists find a way to make it not smell like hippo B.O. and advertisers find a way to disguise the fact that it rolled off a hippo's ass, expect to see squeeze tubes of this stuff being sold around the globe. | positive |

Ryan Nyhuis has come in for David Mundy (illness) to face North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.
Ryan Nyhuis will become the 200th player to represent the Fremantle Dockers after the 20-year-old was brought in to replace midfielder David Mundy for Sunday’s clash with North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.
Mundy was a late withdrawal from the game with illness.
A product of the NT Thunder in the Northern Territory, Nyhuis was taken with pick no.34 in the 2015 rookie draft and was elevated onto Fremantle’s senior list to be a travelling emergency for Freo’s round 12 clash with Brisbane.
The young defender was again a travelling emergency for Sunday’s clash with North Melbourne and comes into the side to make his debut.
He becomes the seventh Fremantle player to make his AFL debut in 2017, with five of these in the lineup against North Melbourhe in Nyhuis, Griffin Logue, Luke Ryan, Brennan Cox and Sean Darcy.
All five of those players have under 10 AFL games experience, with Fremantle fielding 11 players against North Melbourne with under 50 games experience.
Nyhuis has played 25 games for Peel at WAFL level during the past two seasons and is coming off one of his strongest performances against Claremont in round 15.
Against the Tigers, Nyhuis racked up 30 disposals at half-back, 25 of those kicks, while taking six marks and laying four tackles.
The replacement of Mundy with Nyhuis means that versatile midfielder Connor Blakely is likely to return to midfield duties after playing in the backline against Geelong in round 14, opening up a space for Nyhuis in Fremantle’s defence.
As a result, Fremantle will field on of their youngest backlines in recent years, with Nyhuis joining Ryan (4 games), Logue (6 games), Ethan Hughes (16 games) and Joel Hamling (37 games) in a backline led by 223 game veteran Michael Johnson. | positive |
Object Properties (Guile Reference Manual) Next: Sorting, Previous: Equality, Up: Utility Functions [Contents][Index] 6.9.2 Object Properties It’s often useful to associate a piece of additional information with a Scheme object even though that object does not have a dedicated slot available in which the additional information could be stored. Object properties allow you to do just that. Guile’s representation of an object property is a procedure-with-setter (see Procedures with Setters) that can be used with the generalized form of set! to set and retrieve that property for any Scheme object. So, setting a property looks like this: (set! (my-property obj1) value-for-obj1) (set! (my-property obj2) value-for-obj2) And retrieving values of the same property looks like this: (my-property obj1) ⇒ value-for-obj1 | negative |

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan have joined Rutger Hauer in the cast of Russian-Chinese fantasy adventure movie “Viy-2,” producer Alexey Petrukhin has told Variety.
The film is the sequel to the 2014 Russian box-office hit based on a horror novella by the Russian writer Nikolai Gogol. It grossed $33.2 million in Russia, and was released in multiple international territories.
The cast on “Viy-2” is led by Jason Flemyng (“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”), who also starred in the first film, Charles Dance, Martin Klebba and Christopher Fairbank. The director was Oleg Stepchenko, and the screenplay was by Stepchenko, Dmitry Palcev, and Petrukhin.
The movie was shot in China, and is now in post-production. The film, which is budgeted at $48 million, is expected to be released early next year.
The movie centers on English explorer Jonathan Green (Flemyng), who receives an order from Peter the Great to map the Russian Far East. “Once again he sets out for a long journey full of incredible adventures that will eventually lead him to China,” according to a statement. “The cartographer will face many breathtaking discoveries, encounter bizarre creatures, meet with Chinese princesses, and confront deadly martial-arts masters and the Dragon King.” | positive |
Like so much of the exuberant food imagery that I’m drawn to in anime, the katsudon in “Yuri!!! on Ice,” a series about a competitive figure skater in his early 20s, appeared as a less detailed but somehow more vivid version of itself. A Japanese rice bowl capped with golden slices of pork cutlet, held together with barely cooked eggs and translucent onions — textures exaggerated, colors saturated, aromas made visible — occasionally twinkling in soft focus, as if seen through a Vaseline-greased lens. “Is this what God eats?!” one character asked another, trembling, cheeks flushed, eyes wide with the shock of its pleasure. What I love about food in anime is the truth in its hyperbole.
I meant to watch just one episode of the 12-part first season when it came out last fall on some streaming sites. My friend Whitney had told me I’d love it, but I didn’t realize how much: I stayed up and watched them all, more and more charmed and hungry. At first, Yuri is anxious. And he makes mistakes when he’s anxious, and he tortures himself over those mistakes. When he’s celebrating a win, or stuck in a professional slump, he finds comfort in katsudon. “Yuri” devotees from all over the world were quick to recreate his favorite dish at home, posting photos of their versions online like ephemeral fan art. They styled the dishes faithfully, with an addition of peas (at the fictional hot-springs inn that Yuri’s parents run in Kyushu, the dish is served with peas). By the time I finished the series, I wanted to do the same, so I asked Whitney to come over for dinner.
The foundation of the dish is tonkatsu, a deep-fried breaded pork cutlet that became popular in Japan by the early 20th century. Tonkatsu may have started out as an imitation of European-style cutlets — thin, flimsy slices of veal and lamb, sautéed in butter and served with a fork and a knife — but Japanese cooks soon owned it, revised it and deviated from the European recipes to develop their own style. By the 1920s, restaurants in Tokyo specialized in thick, evenly crisp cutlets, made from pork and deep-fried, often in lard. They served these in slices, so people could grasp them with chopsticks. Tonkatsu is now omnipresent, under heat lamps and behind glass at convenience stores, and on boards with shredded cabbage at high-end restaurants. In a Japanese home, it wouldn’t be unusual to have one or two in the fridge, like a leftover piece of fried chicken. | positive |

ROME — Despite widespread perceptions of animosity between Pope Francis and American Cardinal Raymond Burke, seen as the leader of the pope’s conservative opposition, the pontiff has declared in a new interview that “I do not see Cardinal Burke as an enemy.”
Francis also denied that the recent decision to send him to Guam to lead a canonical trial of an archbishop accused of sexually abusing minors was any kind of exile.
“Cardinal Burke was [in Guam] because of some terrible incidents there. For that I’m very grateful to him, he’s an excellent lawyer, but I believe the assignment is almost completed,” the pope said.
Speaking about the Order of Malta, which made headlines recently over the firing and re-hiring of its grand chancellor and the role of Burke, chaplain of the knighthood, Francis says that there were problems the American prelate wasn’t able to cope with, but that “he continues to be the patron of the order of Malta.”

Pope Francis did, however, issue a gentle critique of what he described as “fundamentalist Catholics,” a group with which Burke is sometimes associated.
Asked about how the faithful can help each other through “crises of faith,” the pontiff said that crises are essential for growth, both in life and in faith. He referred to a passage from the Gospels in which Peter denied Christ three times, after asserting he would never do so.
“When Jesus feels that certainty of Peter, it makes me think of so many fundamentalist Catholics,” Francis said.
Peter, Francis said, “denied Jesus, had a massive crisis, and was made pope!”
The pope’s comments came in a new wide-ranging interview with the German newspaper Die Zeit, published on Thursday.
RELATED: Talking to Die Zeit Pope Francis signals openness to ordaining married men
One of the many issues Francis was asked about was a recently set-up commission to study the historic role of female deacons in the Church, where the pontiff seemed to downplay expectations for rapid breakthroughs.
“I was asked, why don’t we form a study commission to figure out what these women did and whether they were consecrated or not. I answered, yes, why not?” he said, referring to an audience he had last year with the superiors of female religious orders last year.
“It’s about exploring the subject, not opening a door … Time will tell what the commission finds. They’re supposed to come together again in March for the third time, and I’m going to inquire about where things stand,” Francis told journalist Giovanni di Lorenzo.
The issue of papal trips was also touched upon during the interview, and Francis revealed that a trip to Egypt is in the works for 2017. He also said that, despite recent talks, a trip to South Sudan and the two Congoes (Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo) this year has been almost ruled out. Another trip that he won’t be able to make, is Russia, “because I would have to go to Ukraine too.”
He did, however, confirm that he’s going to India and Bangladesh, which has been in the works for a while, but with no date having been announced yet, and Fatima, in Portugal, mid-May.
Another trip that is being planned for 2017 is Colombia, which has been a possibility almost since the beginning of the pontificate, even more so after the government signed a peace deal with the country’s largest guerrilla, the FARC, to put an end to the longest civil armed conflict in recent history.
Asked if the attacks he receives, particularly those coming “from the Vatican” hurt him personally, Francis responded no.
“From the moment that I was elected pope, I never lost my sense of peace,” he said. “I understand that some might not like my way of acting, I even justify it: there are so many ways of thinking; it’s even licit, human and even a richness.”
On the recent posters that accused him of not being merciful and the spoof version of the Vatican’s newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, the pope said that even though he found no richness in the latter, he did in the posters.
“The Romanesco [Italian dialect] in those posters was beautiful!” Francis said, adding that they had been written by a cultured person.
“Someone from here?” the journalist asked, meaning the Vatican, where the interview took place.
“No: a cultured person!” Francis said, laughing.
Later on, he revealed that every day he prays St. Thomas More’s prayer, asking for a sense of humor. “The Lord hasn’t taken my peace, and gives me enough sense of humor,” he said.
As he’s done before, the pope acknowledged that he’s a sinner, and that there have been moments in which he’s been mad at Jesus or said that he didn’t understand why something was happening, including things of the pope’s own making, caused by “my own sin: I am a sinner, and I get mad … now I’ve gotten used to it.”
Francis also says that he doesn’t feel like “an exceptional man,” and that the expectations put upon him, “that exaggerate,” don’t do him justice.
“I am not a poor guy, no, but I’m a man who does what he can, but common. That’s how I feel. And when someone says to me: ‘No, you, you are…’ this doesn’t do me any good,” he said.
Asked if he didn’t fear disappointing those in the Roman curia with these words, who have the need of an impeccable father, Francis says that there’s no such thing, because there’s only one, God.
“Every father is a sinner- thanks be to God- because this even encourages us to go forth and give life, in this epoch of orphanhood, where there’s a need for paternity,” he said.
“I am a sinner and I am fallible, and we must not forget that the idealization of a person is always also a subliminal type of aggression,” he said. | positive |

I got this nickname a few years ago when I was “brave” enough to say the things I really feel. I take the title seriously, any opinion I have is rooted in an at least base understanding of the piece. So I’m seldom a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. So in the spirit of being the Awesome Me, I wanted to go over a few unpopular opinions. A friend of mine threw out the number 33 so let’s get there! These will be sort of hot-takes, I may got into detail on some but if you want further explanations, leave me a comment! I will answer! Also due to the nature of these sorts of things…spoilers for some stuff, probably. I don’t like The Dark Knight. I know, shocker. I’m not crazy about Heath Ledger’s Joker. He was great in that movie! Just when your lore base is Batman The Animated Series, his Joker is a departure. The rest of the movie was a bit of a slog and I’m all for gritty reimaginings but Batman was always pretty gritty if you ignore the campy 1960s. I really like dubbed anime. I use anime as background noise a lot. I often don’t have time to entirely give my attention to a thing. Also, my time coming into anime was during the Golden Age of Dubbing. I had AMAZING voice acting experiences with English dubs. Now, there are some that are hot garbage, but for the most part, gimme a good dub. Cadbury Creme Eggs are magical. Fight me. Peeps are also magical. Continue to fight me. I dislike Attack on Titan. Mostly, I dislike the anime’s fandom. If I wanted to watch a lesser version of Evangelion, I’d just watch the movies. Tumblr is a place that I intensely dislike in places but I also refuse to leave it. I really like the original run of Fullmetal Alchemist. Brotherhood is closer to the manga, sure, but it changed things that vastly changed how I related to the story. Gravitation is a garbage anime but I will fight people over it. That series was probably one of the most important things to me as a troubled youth. I really liked it when Blink 182 and Green Day went emo in the 2000s. Those are probably some of my favorite albums and I still listen to them. A lot of folks who listened to those bands when they were still grunge hated the transition to emo but I was just a little too young for the grunge days and I was a moody teen during the emo days. Doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the older stuff, I just really emotionally jived with the emotional moaning of Tom DeLonge. I don’t like wearing high heels. God made me short. Naruto shouldn’t have ended up with Hinata. She deserved better. ICHIGO AND RUKIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MAIN PAIRING IN BLEACH. Paris Franz was the worst part of the animated The Killing Joke movie. And hell, the rest of the movie was fine even though I can fully admit that it’s an old story that just doesn’t work in the modern era. I don’t understand Modern Art. It’s been explained to me. I’ve taken art classes. I just don’t get it. I don’t hate Justin Bieber’s newer songs. Don’t @ me. I don’t like Chipotle. I more or less just don’t understand what niche it fills. That being said, I still go because it’s downtown and it’s close and it’s there. I’m not proud of myself. Bianca del Rio is my least favorite RuPaul’s Drag Race winner. But I won’t say that too loud. She can hear me and feeds upon my fear. I am not crazy about JRPGs. I love the story of many of them like the Persona series but you could not pay me to play those games. The grind exhausts me.That being said I will absolutely still cosplay as Teddie and Yusuke. Commonly said unpopular opinion: Yuri On Ice ruined anime and even though I hate it a lot less, I still will forever be disappointed at what it did for the discourse. I’m pretty over Steven Universe. I think that show can just end now. It had a good run. I also for some reason really dislike how Rebecca Sugar uses references sometimes. I’m not sure why. It may be totally irrational but for some reason when she obviously parodies something it just makes my blood boil. I don’t hate the Star Wars prequels. Hell, I still have my ticket stub for Revenge of the Sith. I can admit they are bad movies but dammit those lightsaber battles. Not crazy about the new Star Wars trilogy. Rey is an aggressive Mary Sue and it does feel like an intense re-tread of older things. That being said, porgs are great: fight me. Ewoks scare the hell out of me. They clearly eat people and have weird human teeth. I will happily watch baseball over football. French fries are made to be dipped in a chocolate frosty. Vanilla frosties are an abomination unto the Lord. I still play Pokemon Go. Team Mystic forever. Harry Potter is a fantastic universe and franchise but dammit Jo Rowling exhausts me and I am bored to tears with her mains. Thus says a proud Slytherin. Also, I will holler this on the top of a mountain: I WANT MY DAMN MARAUDERS MOVIE. Justice League: Gods and Monsters may be one of my favorite animated superhero movie. Vampire Batman forever. I’m weirdly bored of Marvel movies. They have a time and a half balancing humor and seriousness and everyone being a quip monster is starting to wear on me. That may explain why I’m tired of Guardians of the Galaxy and Spiderman as franchises. The Sam Raimi Spiderman does not get enough credit and it’s wonderful. Spiderman 2 may be one of the greatest comic book movies ever made. I don’t like Frozen. The collective pop cultural subconscious can absolutely Let it Go. That was a fun little exercise wasn’t it? Did you learn a lot about me? Good. Let’s do this again sometime!

Microsoft has always taken a fairly simple approach to app management on Windows Phone, avoiding folder interfaces that iOS and Android have adopted with the company’s "Metro-style" interface. It appears that’s about to change. A now removed support article over at Microsoft’s Windows Phone site has revealed the company is planning to natively support folders for apps on the Start Screen. The method will work similar to iOS, where you drag one Tile on top of another and it creates a folder that can then be renamed. Apps can then be accessed from within the folder.
Microsoft notes that to create folders on the Start Screen "you need to have Windows Phone 8.1 Update installed on your phone," which suggests this functionality is coming in an update to Windows Phone 8.1, rather than the OS update itself. The Verge understands that Microsoft is currently in the final stages of testing its first update to Windows Phone 8.1, which is expected to debut in July or August. The folder functionality could work in a similar, but more native, way to the method that Nokia used to bring some folder-like functionality to Windows Phone 8 earlier this year. We’ve reached out to Microsoft for comment on its "Windows Phone 8.1 Update" plans, and we’ll update you accordingly. | positive |
Editors Note: This post is part 3 of a 3-part series on tuning Elasticsearch performance. Part 1 can be found here and Part 2 can be found here.
Shard Allocation, Rebalancing and Awareness are very crucial and important from the perspective of preventing any data loss or to prevent the painful Cluster Status: RED (a sign alerting that the cluster is missing some primary shards). Apart from shard allocation, everyone loves to tweak threadpools. For whatever reason, it seems people cannot resist increasing thread counts.
The default threadpool settings in Elasticsearch are very sensible. For all threadpools (except search) the threadcount is set to the number of CPU cores. If we have eight cores, we can be running only eight threads simultaneously. It makes sense to assign only eight threads to any particular threadpool.
In this tutorial, we’ll be focussing on Shard Allocation and Threadpool Configuration settings to keep our cluster's health green and improve overall performance.
For this post, we will be using hosted Elasticsearch on Qbox.io. You can sign up or launch your cluster here, or click "Get Started" in the header navigation. If you need help setting up, refer to "Provisioning a Qbox Elasticsearch Cluster."
Diving deep into Shard Allocation and Rebalancing
We can setup ElasticSearch to have multiple shards and replicas of each index it serves. This can be very handy in many situations. With the ability to have multiple shards of a single index we can deal with indices that are too large for efficient serving by a single machine. With the ability to have multiple replicas of each shard we can handle higher query load by spreading replicas over multiple servers. In order to shard and replicate ElasticSearch has to figure out where in the cluster it should place shards and replicas.
Cluster Based Shard Allocation
Shard allocation is the process of allocating shards to nodes. This can happen during initial recovery, replica allocation, rebalancing, or when nodes are added or removed. ES includes several recovery properties which improve both Elasticsearch cluster recovery and restart times. The value that will work best for us depends on the hardware we have in use (disk and network being the usual bottlenecks), and the best advice we can give is to test, test, and test again.
The following dynamic settings may be used to control shard allocation and recovery and can be configured in the elasticsearch.yml config file or updated dynamically with the Cluster Update Settings API:
cluster.routing.allocation.enable - Enables or disables allocation for specific kinds of shards:
all - (default) Allows shard allocation for all kinds of shards.
primaries - Allows shard allocation only for primary shards.
new_primaries - Allows shard allocation only for primary shards for new indices.
none - No shard allocations of any kind are allowed for any indices.
This setting does not affect the recovery of local primary shards when restarting a node.
cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_outgoing_recoveries - Number of concurrent outgoing shard recoveries are allowed to happen on a node. Outgoing recoveries are the recoveries where the source shard (most likely the primary unless a shard is relocating) is allocated on the node. Defaults to 2.
cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_incoming_recoveries - Number of concurrent incoming shard recoveries are allowed to happen on a node. Incoming recoveries are the recoveries where the target shard (most likely the replica unless a shard is relocating) is allocated on the node. Defaults to 2.
cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries - A shortcut to set both cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_incoming_recoveries and
cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_outgoing_recoveries .
cluster.routing.allocation.node_initial_primaries_recoveries - The recovery of replicas happens over the network but recovery of an unassigned primary after node restart uses data from the local disk. It should be fast so that initial primary recoveries can happen in parallel on the same node. Defaults to 4.
cluster.routing.allocation.same_shard.host - Allows to perform a check to prevent allocation of multiple instances of the same shard on a single host, based on hostname and host address. Defaults to false and applies if multiple nodes are started on the same machine.
indices.recovery.concurrent_streams - Controls the number of parallel streams to open to support recovery of a shard.
indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec - Closely tied to the number of streams, is the total network bandwidth available for recovery.
Disk Based Shard Allocation
Elasticsearch looks into the available disk space on a node before deciding whether to allocate new shards to that node or to actively relocate shards away from that node.
The following dynamic settings may be used to control the disk based shard allocation across the cluster:
cluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold_enabled - Defaults to true . Set to false to disable the disk allocation decider.
- Defaults to . Set to false to disable the disk allocation decider. cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low - Controls the low watermark for disk usage. It defaults to 85%, meaning ES will not allocate new shards to nodes once they have more than 85% disk used. It can also be set to an absolute byte value (like 500mb) to prevent ES from allocating shards if less than the configured amount of space is available.
- Controls the low watermark for disk usage. It defaults to 85%, meaning ES will not allocate new shards to nodes once they have more than 85% disk used. It can also be set to an absolute byte value (like 500mb) to prevent ES from allocating shards if less than the configured amount of space is available. cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high - Controls the high watermark. It defaults to 90%, meaning ES will attempt to relocate shards to another node if the node disk usage rises above 90%. It can also be set to an absolute byte value (similar to the low watermark) to relocate shards once less than the configured amount of space is available on the node.
Note: Percentage values refer to used disk space, while byte values refer to free disk space. This can be confusing, since it flips the meaning of high and low. For example, it makes sense to set the low watermark to 10gb and the high watermark to 5gb, but not the other way around.
An example of updating the low watermark to no more than 85% of the disk size, a high watermark of at least 60 gigabytes free, and updating the information about the cluster every two minutes:
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "transient": { "cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low": "85%", "cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high": "60gb", "cluster.info.update.interval": "2m" } }'
Shard Rebalancing
The following dynamic settings may be used to control the rebalancing of shards across the cluster:
cluster.routing.rebalance.enable - Enables or disables rebalancing for specific kinds of shards:
all - ( default ) Allows shard balancing for all kinds of shards.
primaries - Allows shard balancing only for primary shards.
replicas - Allows shard balancing only for replica shards.
none - No shard balancing of any kind are allowed for any indices.
cluster.routing.allocation.allow_rebalance - Specify when shard rebalancing is allowed:
always - Always allow rebalancing.
indices_primaries_active - Only when all primaries in the cluster are allocated.
indices_all_active - (default) Only when all shards (primaries and replicas) in the cluster are allocated.
cluster.routing.allocation.cluster_concurrent_rebalance - Number of concurrent shard rebalances are allowed cluster wide. Defaults to 2. This setting only controls the number of concurrent shard relocations due to imbalances in the cluster and does not limit shard relocations due to allocation filtering or forced awareness.
Shard Balancing Discovery
The following settings are used together to determine where to place each shard. The cluster is balanced when no allowed action can bring the weights of each node closer together by more than the balance.threshold .
cluster.routing.allocation.balance.shard - Defines the weight factor for shards allocated on a node (float). Defaults to 0.45f . Raising this raises the tendency to equalize the number of shards across all nodes in the cluster.
- Defines the weight factor for shards allocated on a node (float). Defaults to . Raising this raises the tendency to equalize the number of shards across all nodes in the cluster. cluster.routing.allocation.balance.index - Defines a factor to the number of shards per index allocated on a specific node (float). Defaults to 0.55f . Raising this raises the tendency to equalize the number of shards per index across all nodes in the cluster.
- Defines a factor to the number of shards per index allocated on a specific node (float). Defaults to . Raising this raises the tendency to equalize the number of shards per index across all nodes in the cluster. cluster.routing.allocation.balance.threshold - Minimal optimization value of operations that should be performed (non negative float). Defaults to 1.0f. Raising this will cause the cluster to be less aggressive about optimizing the shard balance.
Configuring the Threadpool Properties
A node holds several thread pools in order to improve how threads memory consumption are managed within a node. Many of these pools also have queues associated with them, which allow pending requests to be held instead of discarded.
There are several thread pools, but the important ones include:
index - For index/delete operations. Thread pool type is fixed with a size of available processors count and queue_size of 200. The maximum size for this pool is (1 + No. of available processors) .
search - For count/search/suggest operations. Thread pool type is fixed with a size of int(((No. of available_processors * 3) / 2) + 1) and queue_size of 1000.
bulk - For bulk operations. Thread pool type is fixed with a size of available processors count, queue_size of 50. The maximum size for this pool is (1 + No. of available processors) .
Thread Pool Types:
The following are the types of thread pools and their respective parameters:
Fixed: The fixed thread pool holds a fixed size of threads to handle the requests with a queue (optionally bounded) for pending requests that have no threads to service them.
thread_pool: index: size: 30 // number of threads, defaults to the number of cores times 5 queue_size: 1000 // size of the queue of pending requests that have no threads to execute them, defaults to -1
Scaling : The scaling thread pool holds a dynamic number of threads. This number is proportional to the workload and varies between the value of the core and max parameters.
The keep_alive parameter determines how long a thread should be kept around in the thread pool without it doing any work.
thread_pool: warmer: core: 1 max: 8 keep_alive: 2m // how long a thread should be kept around in the thread pool without it doing any work
Note: The number of processors is automatically detected, and the thread pool settings are automatically set based on it. In some cases it can be useful to override the number of detected processors to avoid some rare faulty detection use cases by setting:
processors: 2
Optimal Configurations:
Elasticsearch Config ( elasticsearch.yml ) can be tweaked to overcome default limitations and to increase the concurrency. if searching is the primary use case i.e. more search operations and less indexing operations, the threadpool for search can be increased and the threadpool for indexing can be much lower.
#for search operation threadpool.search.type: fixed threadpool.search.size: 50 threadpool.search.queue_size: 200 #for bulk operations threadpool.bulk.type: fixed threadpool.bulk.size: 10 threadpool.bulk.queue_size: 100 #for indexing operations threadpool.index.type: fixed threadpool.index.size: 60 threadpool.index.queue_size: 1000
ES by default assumes the primary use case as searching and querying. It thus allocates 90% of its total allocated HEAP memory for searching. This can be changed with the indices.memory.index_buffer_size setting but the implication of this setting can be significant as we are reducing the memory allocated for search. The following setting grants ES 30% of its heap memory for indexing purpose.
indices.memory.index_buffer_size: 30%

Oskar Schindler
German businessman Oskar Schindler (1908-1974) saved Jews in Poland and Czechoslovakia from death at the hands of the Nazis during World War II by employing them in his factory.
Oskar Schindler was the unlikeliest of heroes-indifferent to religion and politics, partial to gambling and drinking, and not averse to skirting the law in his many business ventures. Yet to the eleven hundred Jews whose lives he saved during World War II, he was nothing less than a saint. Until the 1980s, his name was barely known outside the world of Holocaust survivors. Thanks to a book and then a movie about his exploits, however, he has taken his place among those the Israelis call "Righteous Gentiles"-non-Jews who took great risks to ensure the safety of Jews doomed by the Nazis' "Final Solution."
Schindler was born in 1908 in the industrial city of Zwittau, Moravia, then a German province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and now part of the Czech Republic. Also known as the Sudetenland, the region was home to several million ethnic Germans, including the Schindler family. It was there that Oskar grew up (his father owned a farm-machinery factory) and attended a German-language school. Among his childhood playmates were the two sons of a local rabbi.
During the 1920s, Schindler worked in sales for his father. In 1928, however, the young man's marriage to a woman named Emilie caused a rift in the relationship between the two men. Schindler subsequently left his father's employ and became a sales manager for a Moravian electric company. His new job often took him to Poland on business, and over time he developed a strong affinity for the city of Krakow, the ancient seat of Polish kings.
Meanwhile, the political landscape in Europe was undergoing major changes, especially in Germany, where Adolf Hitler assumed the post of chancellor in 1933. Hitler's vision of a new German empire included the Sudetenland, which had been annexed by the fledgling Republic of Czechoslovakia at the end of World War I in 1918 following the destruction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German Empire. Hitler began stirring up ethnic passions among the Sudeten Germans, pointing out that their "rightful" ties were with Germany, not Czechoslovakia.
By 1935, Sudeten Germans who wanted to avoid being labeled as Communists or Social Democrats joined the pro-Nazi Sudeten German Party. One of those who jumped on the bandwagon was Schindler-not out of any love for the Nazis, but because it made business sense to go along with the prevailing wind. In 1938, Hitler forced an international crisis over the fate of the Sudetenland when he threatened war if the region was not turned over to Germany. The leaders of Great Britain and France acquiesced, and Hitler annexed the Sudetenland without a struggle.
Within weeks of the annexation, officials of the Abwehr, or German military intelligence, approached Schindler about gathering information on Polish military activity during his frequent visits to Krakow. A gregarious, attractive, and charming person who always found it easy to get people to talk to him, he agreed to pass along whatever he could to the Abwehr. In exchange for his help, he was exempted from military service.
On September 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland, prompting Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany. Within a week, Schindler arrived in Krakow, eager to find a way to profit from the conflict in one way or another. Fortuitously, in mid-October, the city became the new seat of government for all of Nazi-occupied Poland. Schindler quickly cultivated friendships with key officers in both the Wehrmacht (the German army) and the SS (the elite armed Nazi unit), plying them with black-market goods such as cognac and cigars.
It was around this same time that he also made the acquaintance of Itzhak Stern, a Jewish accountant who served as his liaison with the local Jewish business community. With capital he borrowed from some of the men he met through Stern, Schindler purchased a bankrupt enamel kitchenware factory, renamed it Deutsche Emailwaren Fabrik, and opened it in January 1940. Stern hired on as the bookkeeper and soon established a bond with his employer that proved to be tremendously influential in the difficult years ahead.
Relying on his legendary panache as well as his willingness to bribe the right people, Schindler secured numerous German army contracts for his pots and pans. To staff his factory, he turned to Krakow's Jewish community, which, Stern told him, was a good source of cheap, reliable labor. At the time, some 56, 000 Jews lived in the city, most in the ghetto (a neighborhood that was traditionally reserved for Jews). By the spring of 1940, however, the Nazi crack-down against Jews had begun. Schindler was ordered to pay his Jewish employees' wages directly to the SS rather than to the workers themselves. In August, Nazi authorities issued a new regulation ordering all but "work-essential" Jews to leave the city. This touched off a panic that sent Jews scrambling for work deemed "essential." (At Stern's urging, Schindler hired about 150 of them to work in his factory.) And by the end of the year, all of Krakow's Jews were ordered to wear a four-inch wide white armband emblazoned with the Star of David.
Near the end of 1941, Schindler was arrested by the SS for dealing in black market goods. With the help of his high-ranking Nazi friends (not to mention a few well-placed bribes), he was quickly released to return to work. On April 29, 1942, however, he was arrested again and jailed, this time for violating the Nazis' "Race and Resettlement Act." The charge stemmed from a kiss he had given a young Jewish girl at the factory during his birthday party the day before. Once again, Schindler secured his release within a short time thanks to his connections in the SS and the Abwehr.
In June of 1942, the Nazis began deporting Krakow's Jews to labor camps. Some of Schindler's workers, including his office manager, were among the first group of people ordered to report to the train station. Furious at what he regarded as unwelcome SS interference in his business affairs, Schindler raced to the station and argued with an SS officer about how essential his workers were to the war effort. (It became his standard argument when dealing with similar situations over the next few years.) By dropping the names of some of his Nazi friends and making a couple of threats, he was finally able to rescue the workers and escort them safely back to his factory. But Schindler could only do so much; by the end of 1942, deportations had reduced the ghetto's population of around 17, 000 to about 4, 000 or so. And the warnings he personally delivered that fall to leaders of the Jewish community in Budapest, Hungary, about what was going on in Poland fell on deaf ears-they could not believe that the Germans were capable of such actions.
In early 1943, the Nazis ordered the final "liquidation" of the Krakow ghetto. The man put in charge of the operation was a young SS officer named Amon Goeth, the commandant of the Plaszow forced labor camp just outside the city. Those Jews who were healthy and could work went to Plaszow; the rest were sent off to death camps or executed on the spot. Goeth then met with Schindler and other industrialists in the area to convince them to relocate their factories inside the camp. But Schindler had a somewhat different idea. He proposed establishing a labor subcamp within his factory that would continue to employ his own workers. He would run it, and the Plaszow guards would not be allowed on the premises without his permission. Schindler secured Goeth's support for this unusual plan after making it clear that cooperation would be generously compensated.
Schindler's Emalia Camp, as it was known, thus served as a haven for Krakow's Jews, at least for a few months. There they knew they would not be beaten or executed. Despite widespread food shortages, they could also count on eating much better than those imprisoned in the main camp at Plaszow because their boss regularly purchased his supplies on the black market at exorbitant rates. Nor did they have to endure the degrading living conditions in the main camp, because they were housed right in the factory. To make sure his camp stayed open, Schindler regularly handed out bribes to selected SS officers.
In early 1944, however, Plaszow's designation was changed from that of a labor camp to a concentration camp. This meant that its prisoners were suddenly earmarked for transport to death camps such as Auschwitz. Then came word in the summer that the main camp was to be closed and Schindler's factory dismantled. In anticipation of these changes, his workers were moved from the subcamp into the main camp. Once again, however, the canny businessman offered a counterproposal. He approached Goeth about moving his factory and his workers to Czechoslovakia so that they might continue to supply the Third Reich with vital munitions. After some money exchanged hands, the SS officer agreed to throw his support behind the plan and told Schindler to draw up a list of those people he wanted to take with him.
It is impossible to pinpoint the exact moment when Schindler ceased to be merely an exploiter of cheap labor to become a rescuer of those condemned to certain death. There probably was no single incident that brought about his transformation; more than likely, it was the cumulative effect of many different events that ultimately led him to take bold action. From the earliest days of the war, he had displayed a sense of humanity and concern for his workers (whom he referred to as his "children") that set him apart from most of the other Germans the Jews of Krakow encountered. But now, faced with the task of actually having to name those he wanted to save, Schindler realized that his choices were quite literally a matter of life and death for people he had come to know and respect. No longer could he act solely out of self-interest as a war profiteer. So he came up with a list containing some eleven hundred names, including all the employees of Emalia Camp and a number of others as well.
During the fall of 1944, Schindler made the necessary arrangements (and paid the necessary bribes) to begin the process of moving his factory to the town of Brunnlitz, Czechoslovakia, not far from his hometown of Zwittau. The liquidation of the Plaszow camp began that October. Shortly after around eight hundred men were shipped out in boxcars bound for Brunnlitz, three hundred women and children who were supposed to join them there were mistakenly routed to Auschwitz instead.
Meanwhile, Schindler had been arrested in Czechoslovakia and questioned about his relationship with Goeth, who had been jailed for various black market activities. The ever-wily businessman managed to convince the authorities (with some help from his friends in high places) that he was innocent of any wrongdoing. Once released, Schindler immediately set about retrieving those on his list who had been sent to Auschwitz. Armed with diamonds as bribes, he told the SS that the women and children they were holding were essential to the war effort because their smaller fingers allowed them to polish the insides of anti-tank shells. The SS believed his story, and the women and children were sent on to Brunnlitz.
Over the next seven months, Schindler's factory never produced a single useful shell. He attributed it to "start-up difficulties"; in reality, he had deliberately undermined the manufacturing process to make sure that the shells failed quality-control tests.
Finally, on May 8, 1945, the war came to an end after Germany surrendered to the Allies. Schindler gathered all of his workers together on the factory floor to pass along the good news. He then asked them not to seek revenge for what had been done to them and called for a moment of silence in memory of those who had perished. He also thanked the members of the SS who were present and encouraged them to go home peacefully and without further bloodshed.
As Schindler prepared to leave, his workers (who referred to themselves with pride as Schindlerjuden, or "Schindler Jews") gave him a letter they had written attesting to his good deeds in case he was captured and needed it to defend himself. In addition, they presented him with a special gift-a gold ring (made from the bridgework of one of the prisoners) inscribed in Hebrew with a verse from the Talmud, "He who saves one life, it is as if he saved the entire world." Along with his wife, Schindler then fled west to avoid Russian troops advancing from the east. (He preferred to take his chances with the approaching American forces instead.) A couple of days later, the twelve hundred or so Schindlerjuden were liberated by a lone Russian officer who rode up to the factory on horseback.
Much like his life before the war, Schindler's postwar life was marked by a string of failed business ventures, profligate spending, and plenty of drinking and womanizing. In 1949, after receiving a substantial sum from the Jewish Distribution Committee in appreciation for his wartime efforts as well as a large settlement from the West German government to compensate him for the loss of his Czechoslovakian property to the communists, he moved to Argentina and purchased a farm. By 1957, however, Schindler had gone bankrupt and was relying on the charity of the Jewish organization B'nai B'rith to survive.
In 1958, Schindler abandoned his wife and returned to West Germany to live. Once again, the Jewish Distribution Committee and several grateful individuals came through for him with money he used to start a cement business in Frankfurt. It failed in 1961, and from then on, he lived mostly off funds provided by the Schindlerjuden as well as a small pension the West German government granted him in 1968.
The same year he lost his cement business, Schindler was invited to visit Israel for the first time. He was delighted with the cordial reception he received, which contrasted sharply with how he was usually treated at home. (Many of his countrymen despised him for saving Jews and testifying in court against Nazi war criminals.) Every spring for the rest of his life, he returned to Israel for several weeks to bask in the admiration of the Schindlerjuden and their offspring, whom he regarded with great affection as his own family.
Shortly after his fifty-fourth birthday in 1962, Schindler was officially declared a "Righteous Gentile" and invited to plant a tree on the Avenue of the Righteous leading up to Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Museum, a memorial to the Holocaust. Upon his death from heart and liver problems in 1974, he was granted his request to be buried in Israel. About five hundred Schindlerjuden attended his funeral and watched as his body was laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Thanks to Oskar Schindler, more than six thousand Holocaust survivors and their descendants were alive in the 1990s to tell the remarkable story of "Schindler's List" and of the equally amazing man who compiled it.

AN unprecedented influx of fighters from the communist New People’s Army is making the Compostela Valley look like a large “red zone,” the military said Thursday. A military intelligence said the increase in communist fighters in the region could be traced to the booming mining and agro-industrial activities there. “The NPA benefits from mining through extortion, which they call revolutionary taxes,” the source said. “NPA activities would not survive without these taxes.” The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the displacement of indigenous people in large parts of Eastern Mindanao as a result of mining and palm oil operations, and militarization gave the communist rebels a pool of new recruits.
The Communist Party of the Philippines and National Democratic Front have placed the number of NPA fighters at 10,000, which is in contrast to claim by the Armed Forces of the Philippines that it has already reduced them to 3,000 to 4,000. The number of NPA fighters peaked at 24,000 in the 1980s. The growth in the number of rebel fighters has also been evident in eastern Mindanao, as more indigenous people are displaced by large-scale mining, agro-industrial operations and logging. The military says two of every three rebel recruits in the region come from displaced tribal communities. Thousands of lumad are still staying in evacuation centers such as the one in Tandag City as the military and NPA have turned their communities into war zones. The military has also been accused of organizing, training and arming para-military groups such as the Magahat-Bagani and Alamara, which have been blamed for the deaths of several tribal leaders and activists in Surigao and Agusan provinces, Bukidnon, and Davao. On Wednesday, a young officer and two other soldiers were killed while two others were wounded in at least two separate encounters between government troops and rebels in two different locations in Pantukan town.“These incidents confirmed the assessment of the 10ID [10th Infantry Division] that large formations of NPAs are in Pantukan,” Capt. Rhyan Batchar, the division public affairs chief, said. Another private was killed in an encounter in Sitio Biasong, Barangay Napnapan when around 10 rebels encountered his platoon. After the encounter, the rebels burned two makeshift houses before vanishing from the encounter site. Batchar said the large formations of NPA rebels in the province were operating under the Pulang Bagani Command 3 of the Southern Mindanao Regional Committee. Batchar lambasted the local chapter of the human rights group Karapatan in the region for accusing the military of human rights violations against the people during the course of their operations against the rebels. “These deceptive propagandas were intended to distract [the battalion] and divert its focus away from its efforts to help bring peace and development in the said municipality,” he said. Southern Luzon Command chief Lt. Gen. Ricardo Visaya said Thursday that at least two communist guerillas were killed and four high-powered firearms were seized after a fierce encounter Wednesday in Bato Camarines Sur. He said the encounter occurred at 12:50 p.m. at the temporary encampment of the NPA in Barangay San Isidro. “The firefight lasted for 20 minutes with two slain rebels and no casualty on our side,” Visaya said. “Our troops in the area had been monitoring the movement of the rebels for several days and when it was time to strike they did it with precision. Our troopers had first allowed the rebels to settle down in a place where they constructed their temporary encampment and then the surprise strike,” Visaya said.

Warren's website says that 23,000 Massachusetts donors gave an average of $64 to her campaign in the last three months, bringing her total contributions to $8.8 million since she declared her candidacy in mid-September.
She now has $6 million to spend, less than half of Scott Brown's $12.8 million. But Warren is currently leading Brown by a four point margin, according to the latest UMass Amherst Poll.
The Harvard law professor is on her way to becoming the best-funded candidate in 2012. With advertising rates at a premium in Massachusetts, the race there is likely to be one of the most expensive this election season.
Democrats are counting on a victory in Massachusetts in order to maintain control of the Senate. | positive |

IN a diatribe clearly intended to heap maximum embarrassment on Scottish Labour and its leader Kezia Dugdale ahead of this weekend’s Party Conference, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has claimed that Labour and Conservatives “formed friendships” during the Better Together campaign.
In a new column for the Conservative Home website, she added that Labour “seems embarrassed” by its role in the referendum, and claims that the Conservatives are now attracting “3,000 people a week” from Labour.
Davidson wrote: “I am often asked how, during the independence referendum campaign last year, Conservatives got on with our Labour opponents.
“My answer is always the same: they might always have squabbled with each other like proverbial rats in a sack, but Conservative and Labour rubbed along fine.
"Behind the scenes, friendships were formed across the no-man’s land that usually separates us. And, in front of house, we complemented each other well.
“Working with people from such wildly different political standpoints was often testing (like much of the Better Together campaign). But I remain convinced that in showing our cause was above politics – in demonstrating that it united rivals as bitter as Conservative and Labour – the sweat and the effort was worth it.”
Davidson said that Scottish Labour is “struggling for relevance” ahead of its conference, and added: “Rather than celebrate last year’s referendum win, Scottish Labour nowadays seems embarrassed by its role in keeping the United Kingdom together – regularly trying to distance itself from our cross-party effort. And seeking to find any distinctiveness in the face of the opportunistic and quick-witted nationalists, it is casting itself into irrelevance.
Admitting that “Scottish Conservatives are in no position to crow over the difficulties of a rival party” Davidson claimed that 3,000 people a week are “leaving the Labour party and deciding to back the Scottish Conservatives.”
She added: “I hope more will follow, and I expect to see them doing so. For thousands of ordinary families across Scotland, the reasons for voting Labour are fast diminishing. Jeremy Corbyn is turning a party of power into one of protest; a machine designed for raging, not leading.
“And whatever comes out of Scottish Labour’s latest internal review of its own structures, it will have the same old Labour traits: chaotic, disunited, discoloured by ancient personal feuds that make the MacDonalds and Campbells look like a match on Tinder.
"People of whatever political party allegiance can vote Scottish Conservative in the knowledge that it will be a vote which declares our wish to remain within the UK family of nations.
"We will base our campaign in the centre-ground of Scottish politics, based around the principles of an old-fashioned blue-collar Conservatism.
In reply, A Scottish Labour Spokesperson said: "The Tories are desperate to talk about the constitution to avoid talking about the record of the Tory Government. Ruth Davidson can pretend to be a compassionate Conservative but we all know she's just another Tory." | positive |

Washington D.C. Metblogs » DC Metblogs’ Favorites: Quick Lunch Spots Search DC Metblogs’ Favorites: Quick Lunch Spots By Tom Bridge August 4th, 2005 @ 11:34 AM Favorites DC’s long-lunch culture is directly tied to that genuinely unique art of Lobbying that is so common in this town. However, there are those days that you just need a quick bite, and Washington has much to offer in that regard, too. Click on for some of our favorite spots to grab a quick bite to eat. Michael Darpino: DJ’s Fastbreak 2145 G St NW Washington, DC 20037 Without a doubt my favorite place for a quick lunch in DC is DJ’s Fastbreak, Foggy Bottom best-kept secret. Sitting on the corner of 21st and G st. amidst the massive buildings of George Washington University, this unassuming little place has been serving State Department wonks and open-minded gee-dub’s for years. The food is served in a fast, cafeteria-style line, but it is all cooked fresh to order. They specialize in an interesting mix of simple dishes from around the world. This is the one place in DC that I can think of that combed the planet for quick-dishes from every culture and combined them into one menu. From hamburgers to fried dumplings to hummus to to-die-for soaked beans-and-rice dishes, they’ve got almost anything you could want when you are in a hurry. What got me hooked back in ’93 and keeps me coming back at least once a month is their red-beans and rice with chicken dish. These guys have the best, soaked beans in the city. I have been trying to figure out their soak recipe for years. The process at DJ’s is quick and easy. You have a choice of black or red beans (go with the red), your choice of toppings (chicken, beef, pork, veggie) and your choice of sauces (a lot of people like the curries, I go for the house sauce). Try it once and you’ll be addicted. I’ve been going there for 12 years and I have never ordered anything else. Wayan The American Café Coffee Shop & Bakery 675 15th Street NW Washington, DC I work a hectic life in my McPherson Square office. Doing my good deeds for the world at large while posting like mad on the side. In all that flurry of motion, I don’t get much time for lunch, with 10 minutes being a leisurely meal. In all that movement, there is one place that is my oasis. Across the street from my building, and even visible from my office, it’s The American Café Coffee Shop & Bakery The ladies there service up hot and tasty sandwiches and soups as well as my Spanish lessons for the day. I always get the soup and sandwich special, which for $6 is a meal deal that none can beat. Food in hand, I either retire to their comfortable outdoor seating or head over to McPherson Square for the beautiful view. Julia: Julia’s Empanadas 1221 Connecticut Ave. NW Washington DC Freshly made tasty food with no waiting and no reservation hassles.and all for less than a ten-spot*?!? Sounds too good to be true, but that’s exactly what you’ll find if you venture into one of the four Julia’s Empanadas locations in town. It’s easy to walk past one of these little unassuming storefronts and never even turn your head. They don’t look chic. Heck, they aren’t chic. But what they are is home to a little piece of handmade heaven, my friends. Julia’s is a walk-in-and-take-out affair, although most locations have a few outdoor tables. Empanadas are the perfect quick lunch – filling, tasty and highly portable. Julia’s are among the best I’ve ever eaten – and I’m not just saying that because they taste particularly good after a night of enjoying the 18th Street/Connecticut Avenue club scene (Julia’s stays open until 4:00 am Fridays and Saturdays) – I’ve eaten there sober plenty of times and can tell you this is some quality food. The menu offers a great variety of fillings, and you’ll find something to suit even the most discerning taste buds, from the authentic Chilean Beef, featuring ground and chopped beef, raisins, hard-boiled egg, onion and ripe olive, to my personal favorite: the Turkey and Spring Onion, a taste explosion filled with cilantro, onion and jalapeno seasoned with turmeric. There are even a couple of vegetarian options on the menu. In addition to the empanadas, you can pick up a quick salad, or even some black bean soup or gazpacho. Julia’s also offers ever-changing varieties of fruit and marzipan filled dessert empanadas that are remarkably tasty. Everything is freshly made and tastes great, but don’t take your eyes off the prize: the real attraction here is the empanadas – everything else is just a sideshow. *Truth be told, I find that all I really need for a quick lunch from Julia’s is an empanada, so that puts you out the door – and happy – at under five bucks. Tom California Tortilla 728 7th St. NW Washington DC 20001 When things get hectic, usually I need a short walk to clear my head around lunchtime. That’s when I walk the four or so blocks over to California Tortilla for a delicious burrito and some chips & queso. More than just Chipotle, The Tilla provides unique burrito combinations like a Thai Burrito (with extra peanut sauce! mmmmm), or their amazing Greek burrito (extra feta for me, thanks!) and especially their blackened chicken caesar burrito. Always speedy, always delicious, Tilla never fails to fill that void when I am craving some quality lunch on a little dime (less than $7!) and a little time. Of course, today is their birthday, which means cupcakes and double burrito card stamps for everyone! Tiffany Naan & Beyond Connecticut & L Sts NW Washington DC Upon starting my current job in January, I learned quickly what the default choice for a quick lunch was in the office. Naan & Beyond has several of the most important criteria for the busy staffing agent: It’s CLOSE! If you go out the back door of our building, you walk less than half a block to get there. Great for both nasty cold in winter and stifling heat in summer. It’s FRESH! They cook all day, unlike several downtown lunch establishments. So if you’re swamped and don’t get to catch lunch until 3:00 PM, you still get freshly cooked food, instead of stuff that’s been sitting out for hours. It’s CHEAP! $5.45 for the chicken tikka sandwich (wrapped in naan bread). And filling for the price. It’s YUMMY! The chicken tikka wrap is tasty, but I have become a convert to the sheesh tikka wrap (sheesh being a sort of spicy beef sausage). I’m told the lamb is also excellent, as are their biryani and samosas. It’s ENTERTAINING! These guys have it down for the lunch rush. I love watching them rush around to bake the naan and cook the tandoori chicken while the guy at the register calls out, “Half-cheecken! Sheesh tikka, cheecken tikka, chicken tikka, veggie samosa!” Naan & Beyond has proven so successful that they’ve opened Metro Center and Arlington locations as well, so I can get my tikka fix on the weekends, if need be. Simone: SoHo Cafe 529 14th St. NW Washington DC A great place to grab a bite on the run, but without all the fat and calories would be SoHo Cafe! First off, there are tons of them in the area. There are several of these joints located within the District, however, the one that I know best is on 14th St, downtown. Inside, you’ll find a deli counter, where you can custom order a sandwich to go, or you can take advantage of the vast salad bar. This salad bar is not just any old bar though. It’s filled with all sorts of eats like veggie dumplings, baked salmon, green beans, and enormous egg rolls. There are a few “cold” stations as well, with Caesar or garden salad, and an array of fruit. Beverage choices are plentiful, but tend to be a little pricey. On a recent hot day, most people seemed to go for the regular water (versus the bottled) from the soda machine, which is free. The only thing to be mindful of is the weight of what you’re loading into your container/plate. They weigh your food at checkout and the heavier (obviously) your selections, the more you’ll pay. Finally, the best deal around though, is that you can get two scoops (large ones to boot) for $2. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am ready for lunch! Desert Island Boy: Booeymonger 4600 East West Highway Bethesda, MD 20814 Every once in a while, I’ll be in Bethesda for work, and a great place to stop by is Booeymongers. For those of you who are die-hard districters, I do believe there is a Booey’s in Friednship Heights. And I do believe the chow and aura is comparable! Booey’s has a rather eclectic fare, although I usually grab a rather conservative sandwich and fries. What I enjoy is the decor, which harkens to days of yore. It just adds a hell of an atmosphere for a lunch counter. I usually almost always end up sitting in front of the cartoon map of Bethesda and try to figure out how much has changed since they published it (which I think was sometime in the early 80’s). Everyone’s wearing bellbottoms. Jenn B: Panera Bread Various Locations Lately I’ve found myself wandering over to Panera once or twice a week for lunch. Mainly this is because it’s close to my office, but it’s also because they have good deal on a number of different combinations and you can get in and out quickly. Want soup and a salad? Less than $7. Soup and half a sandwich? Same. Half a sandwich and a salad? Same. Tons of choices, and all for the same price. Panera has perfected the quick lunch process with fast cashiers and even faster packers. You may have to wait in line for a few minutes when you arrive, but once you get to the register and place your order, you’ll get your food in a good amount of time. Usually I’m only there for about 10 to 15 minutes. Panera is starting to pass the point of trendiness, but it’s still my favorite place to grab a quick meal and make it back to work on time. 3 Comments so far darpino (unregistered) on August 4th, 2005 @ 2:06 pm There is a Booeymongers in the heart of Georgetown also. It’s on 3265 Prospect Street, NW AsianMistress (unregistered) on August 5th, 2005 @ 11:01 pm There’s a Booey in G-town and one in Arlington! Ellie (unregistered) on October 13th, 2005 @ 6:22 pm Julia’s Empanadas 2452 18th St., NW Washington, DC My friends and I were rudely informed that we weren’t allowed to sit and eat our empanadas at the window counter despite the empty stools. We were boorishly told that they are a “carry-out only” establishment only after paying. The neon sign outside may proclaim their empanadas are “Baked with Love” but should state Served with a Big Side of Rude.

“I’ve not got a clue who she is – but she’s a snob.” This is how Dan Ware, whose St George’s flag-bedecked house in Strood, Kent, was notoriously photographed by Emily Thornberry, described the then shadow attorney general in November 2014.
It’s an assessment of the Labour MP for Islington South – at once vague and damning – that is now as common in Westminster as it was during that fateful winter in Kent.
Thornberry was ejected from Ed Miliband’s shadow cabinet during the Rochester and Strood by-election, which Ukip won, after she was accused of snobbery. She tweeted the picture of Ware’s driveway, complete with white van, and captioned it blankly “Image from #Rochester”, apparently finding Ware’s outward display of patriotism remarkable.
The blunder exposed a long-time problem in Labour: the disconnection between the London left – the so-called metropolitan elite – and its blue-collar core voters elsewhere in the country. Thornberry, who lives in Islington and is married to a high court judge, became the unlucky pin-up for the worst of the excesses of Labour’s champagne socialist set.
Thornberry, now shadow foreign secretary, was publicly ridiculed again last weekend when she failed to name the French foreign minister during a live interview with Sky News’s Dermot Murnaghan. She also did not know that the president of South Korea is a woman. Rather than confess ignorance, or challenge the presenter on his “pub quiz” questioning style, she accused him of sexism.
“I certainly think sometimes when it comes to sexism, some Sky presenters need to look at themselves . . .” she said, “because you do not do it with anybody else and I do think that it’s patronising.”
Unfortunately for Thornberry, the Westminster village consensus was that her claim of sexism was unconvincing, and she ought to know the names of her European counterparts if she aspires to be Britain’s most senior diplomat.
The right-wing press loathes Thornberry. Like Harriet Harman, she is their worst type of woman – the politically correct, pious and posh type. Although she was raised on a council estate in Surrey by a single mother on benefits, and attended a secondary modern school after failing the eleven-plus, her present wealth has rendered her background irrelevant. The Daily Mail calls her “Lady Smug” and “the biggest hypocrite in Britain” – and says her “property empire” is at odds with her socialism.
She does live in a smart Islington townhouse (the Blairs and that veteran of Islington Labour, Margaret Hodge, once lived on the same road, where houses are valued at £3m) and part-owns two other properties in London. Her husband, Sir Christopher Nugee, provides another source of glee. Tory grandee Nicholas Soames likes to point out that she is properly “Lady Nugee”. The couple have three grown-up children.
Yet the “comeback queen”, as the BBC has described her, has had a tougher return to the front bench than most. Thornberry is the most senior shadow cabinet member who is not an overt Corbynite. She has been a constituency neighbour of the Labour leader since she was first elected to parliament in 2005, and nominated him for the leadership in 2015, but voted for Yvette Cooper. After Corbyn won, she responded by saying that “there’s no point sulking”, after which she got stuck in.
A sharp debater in the Commons chamber, she is also loyal. Her support for both Ed Miliband and Corbyn shows a dedication to making opposition work. She was one of Miliband’s inner circle and during the Rochester scandal it was a sign of his panic that he fired such a close ally.
Born in 1960, Thornberry is an experienced lawyer – for twenty years she specialised in human rights law as a barrister at Tooks Chambers, in London, the set led by the lefty QC Michael Mansfield. An obvious choice for shadow justice secretary under Corbyn, she was given the defence brief instead in the January reshuffle. In true Thornberry style, she chirruped to the press that she didn’t “know why Jeremy gave me this job”, to the chagrin of colleagues whose constituents rely on the defence industry.
Her support for unilateral disarmament was opposed by incredulous pro-Trident Labour MPs and union reps, who decried her apparent lack of knowledge. At a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party, hecklers drowned her out and colleagues called her “cringe-worthy” and “appalling”.
Though Thornberry is gaffe-prone, her anger at sexism should not be ignored. She is an easy target because of her gender. There is a sense that some (mostly male) politicians and commentators see her as a smug north London liberal mummy type. They hear her smart vowels. They observe her arched eyebrows, her headmistress-like pout of disdain and her tendency to bomb merrily around Islington on a bike. And they decide that what is more likely resilience and defensiveness must be haughty disdain.
Or perhaps, as she lamented in November 2014, it is just a “prejudiced attitude towards Islington”. | positive |
Red Solo Cup – A Sprinkle of Faith Skip to content A Sprinkle of Faith Menu Who I Am Word Prompt Fun Home Late Night Fiction #7 Recalibrating Red Solo Cup 9 May 15, 2020 July 9, 2020 Written by Janet Country songs, red solo cup— Metaphors for simpler things.

One of the Baltimore Ravens biggest needs this offseason is improving the pass-rush. With Terrell Suggs in the twilight of his career, and Elvis Dumervil probably on the chopping block, the Ravens will have to address the position in the draft and during the free agent process.
Matt Judon showed promise in 2016, and Za'Darius Smith demonstrated his abilities in 2015. Smith regressed in 2016, but is primed for a bounce back season, especially if the Ravens add to the position and give Smith, Judon, and Suggs some back-up.
With free agency approaching next month, it sounds like the Ravens will indeed be in the market for a pass-rusher, including one from head coach John Harbaugh's old stomping ground, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sources told Mark Eckel of NJ.com that Eagles defensive end Connor Barwin will have a "handful of suitors" this offseason if the Eagles decide to cut or trade Barwin. Eckel lists three teams possibly interested in Barwin: Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens. All three teams are in need of pass-rushing help and Barwin would fit the bill nicely.
One of the biggest reasons why Barwin may be on the way out of the city of brotherly love, is because of the Eagles 4-3 defensive scheme under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Barwin was not a good fit as a hand-on-the-ground defensive end, accumulating only five sacks in 2016. Compared this to the previous two seasons in the 3-4 defense Philadelphia ran under then-defensive coordinator Billy Davis, Barwin notched 21.5 sacks. Including 14.5 sacks in 2014. Barwin also had 244 tackles in the three seasons he played under Davis, before the hiring of Jim Schwartz.
Eckel says Barwin is scheduled to make $7.75 million this season, and is a salary-cap hit of $8.35 million, fifth highest on the team. Cutting or trading Barwin would save the Eagles the $7.75 million in cap space and carry $600,000 in dead money. He does leave the option of Barwin staying with the Eagles if they decide to restructure his contract.
Overall, this situation will be very interesting to monitor in the coming weeks. If Barwin is available, the Ravens should do their very best to get him on board. Barwin produced very nicely in the 3-4 defense in Philadelphia, the same scheme the Ravens and defensive coordinator Dean Pees operate. Barwin would help add to a pass-rush needing reinforcements and could be a game-changer along with guys like Suggs and Judon. Also, an acquisition like Barwin would lessen the pressure for Ozzie Newsome to get a pass-rusher in the early rounds of the draft, giving his scouting team more focus on other needs like cornerback and wide receiver. As we all know, an Ozzie Newsome with more cards to play on the draft table is the best possible scenario. Getting Barwin would set the tone for the Ravens offseason nicely. | positive |
International Skeptics Day Date When Celebrated : January 13th, or October 13th or first Friday the 13th of the year International Skeptics Day is the perfect day for you...the "doubting Thomas". Perhaps the earth isn't really round!? Maybe, the sky isn't truely blue!? Does he(she) really love me!? ........These are the words and questions of the classical skeptic. By definition, a skeptic is a person who questions or doubts facts and theories. He, or she, is a mis-believer. A skeptic does not accept the "Given". If you are inclined to doubt things that you see or hear, then International Skeptics Day is for you. If you practice a little, I'm sure we can make a good skeptic out of you. Go ahead, give it a try. And, what better day to practice skepticism, than International Skeptics Day? Origin of International Skeptics Day: We suspect that a real skeptic created this day. And, they did so by first creating doubt about the date to celebrate this special day. We found three dates: January 13th, October 13th, and the first Friday of the year. While Friday the 13th sounds intriguing, we have our doubts.......... We encourage you to celebrate skeptics and skeptical behavior on all three dates! There is some reference to this as an "International" day. True, there are skeptics organizations all over the world. However, we found no documentation of this day being celebrated anywhere outside of the U.S. More Information: Skeptical Organizations - In case you doubted their existence, there are skeptics groups all over the world.

Reply ↓ Columnist on July 10, 2012 at 3:25 pm said: Why is it that when we bomb Afghanis they become angry, but when the Taliban uses violence, the Afghanis become afraid? Maybe the type of violence is important. Why would using drones be morally superior to cutting of noses and ears? Maybe we should adopt local customs, and mutilate some troublesome Afghanis.

Backbencher Barry Coates’ indiscreet words are just what National wanted, writes Toby Manhire.
Gaffes come in a range of sizes and colours. One garden variety is the Kinsley Gaffe, named after the veteran American journalist who first identified the species, Slate founder Michael Kinsley. He describes it as the kind of gaffe “when a politician tells the truth – some obvious truth he isn’t supposed to say”.
The obvious truth just spoken in New Zealand politics is that the Green Party could, if denied any place in a Labour-NZ First government after September’s election, throw its toys and trigger another election. The politician who spoke it was Barry Coates, the newbie Green MP and former NZ Oxfam boss, who entered parliament late last year after the resignation of Kevin Hague.
The proverbial “nuclear option” is always there for parties who hold the balance of power – as would the Greens should Andrew Little and Winston Peters cobble together a coalition marooning them, in an echo of 2005, on the cross benches. It is implicit in any negotiations that take place: you need us, and, in extremis, we could bring down your government, forcing the country back to the polls. In reality, it’s a button that most parties are highly unlikely to push, especially close after an election: the risk of a voter backlash is acute.
What you certainly don’t want to be doing, in the current febrile atmosphere around a change-the-government three-way especially, is pontificating about it all aloud. Not if you’re a Green MP. Whether or not it was a good idea for Green co-leader Metiria Turei to launch a weekend offensive against Winston Peters and his “racist approach” is debatable – it certainly returned the Greens to the front foot, and would have chimed with their base and Labour voters disillusioned by their stance on immigration – but it was clearly calibrated. Not least because, whatever Peters’ rumblings of “consequences”, it suits him fine to be able to righteously proclaim his non-racism, and by implication the non-racism – how very dare you! – of those who love him.
So the Greens’ salvo was calculated, but hardly meant as a clarion for an all-out pile-on. It was not intended as an encouragement for their lowest ranking MP to bound into the public square, “threatening a new election if Labour goes with NZ First”.
In truth, Coates didn’t quite do as described in that Newshub headline. He wrote a post on blogger Bomber Bradbury’s leftwing blog The Daily Blog, saying, “if we were not part of the coalition, we would not accept a Labour-New Zealand First government and certainly not a National-New Zealand First government. Neither will be acceptable to the Greens.” That in itself was going beyond what his leaders have said. Their line has been more nuanced – if people don’t want to see that play out, then vote Green, they’ve said.
And next, asked by Newshub if “this meant forcing the country back to the polls for another election”, Coates replied, “It could do.” And before he knew it he was threatening to take New Zealand to the polls for a second time by Christmas.
The Greens have been in damage limitation mode this morning, with co-leader James Shaw repudiating the remarks and publicly reproaching his MP. He has been forced to rule out forcing another election. Top of his mind, that dreaded row boat. The 2014 TV ad, since made famous by the “pretty legal” Eminemesque soundtrack and ensuing lawsuit, featured what National campaign manager Steven Joyce called “the Laboureens’ boat”, with one of the figures coloured purple in post-production to represent the added Internet-Mana oar, alongside another vessel, filled with a sleek bunch of blue figures rowing in time. It was “a symbol that showed how New Zealand was a team that was working together and really starting to get somewhere”, said Joyce, up against a rabble “arguing with each other”. They kept playing and playing the thing because the “opposition campaign steadily appeared more and more like that boat”.
In recent days on RNZ Morning Report, Andrew Little and James Shaw have separately used the phrase “strong and stable” to describe the kind of alternative government on offer. That they’d reach for the three words that made Theresa May look so foolish in the recent British election is striking enough in itself, but it underscores how keen, desperate even, they are to persuade us that they are sea-worthy.
Coates’ intervention, from that point of view, is a serious headache for the Greens and their would-be partners. Steven Joyce will meanwhile be licking his lips, drafting already lines about the piratical Barry and the Laboureen ship-sinkers.

REUTERS • BBC Matt LeBlanc said he doesn't know if he will return to Top Gear
The 49-year-old joined the motoring show's new line-up after Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond left their coveted spot last year. While avid fans waited in eager anticipation for the revamped show, audience ratings were less than favourable and Matt's co-host Chris, 50, left after the series' last episode aired. At the time, sources claimed that the former Friends star would carry on without him, but it seems that he is in the dark about what will happen next. Confessing that he would definitely like to return, Matt told a Television Critics Association press panel for his upcoming CBS comedy Man With A Plan that nothing "official" has been set yet.

Phansalkar, J.W. Nam, S.N. Chen, J.B. McAlpine, J.G. Napolitano, A. Leme, C.M. Vidal, T. Aguilar, A.K. Bedran-Russo, G.F. Pauli Grape seeds are a rich source of polyphenols, especially proanthocyanidins (PACs), and are also known for the presence of galloylated oligomeric PACs (OPACs). The present study focuses on the phytochemical methodology for grape seed (O)PACs and their potential role as dentin biomodifiers to be used in restorative and reparative dentistry. A new method using centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) was developed for the preparative separation of the grape seed (O)PACs. Orthogonal phytochemical profiling of the resulting CPC fractions was performed using C18 and diol HPLC, normal phase HPTLC, and IT-TOF MS analysis. A galloylated procyanidin dimer (1) was isolated from a CPC fraction in order to evaluate its potential to enhance dentin bio-mechanical properties. Moreover, it helped to evaluate the impact of the galloyl moiety on the observed bioactivity. Structure elucidation was performed using ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR analyses. For the first time, (1)H iterative full spin analysis (HiFSA) was performed on this type of molecule, enabling a detailed proton chemical shift and coupling constant assignment. The CPC fractions as well as 1 showed promising results in the dentin stiffness bioassay and indicate that they may be used as dental intervention biomaterial. Funding The authors are particularly grateful to Dr. Benjamin Ramirez from the Center for Structural Biology at UIC for his general NMR support and his invaluable assistance in performing the low temperature NMR experiments. We also thank an anonymous reviewer for helpful suggestions regarding the nomenclature of oligomeric proanthocyanidins. This research was funded by grant R01 DE021040 from NIDCR/NIH.

If you watched the midseason premiere of The Walking Dead – and please stop reading if you have not – surely you must have concerns about Daryl, who chose Merle over Carol; Andrea, who appears to be standing my her man; and Rick, who has officially checked into crazy town. Series boss Glen Mazzara was kind enough to explain what the hell is going on in everyone’s heads. (And sure, I might have overthought that moment Beth welcomed Rick back with a kiss. Just looking out for Carl!)
With Rick going crazy, can you talk about (what appears to be) other leaders emerging?
Hershel will see Rick hallucinating as a threat to the group’s survival and that pushes him into a leadership position, for sure. Glenn is now bent on getting revenge on The Governor, and he’s torn between loyalty for Rick and his own agenda, so he’s also vying for leadership. These are not dynamics that we’ve faced in the past, back when people were saying, “Oh, what do we do? What do we do?” This is really the group fighting amongst themselves, their backs against the wall without options and feeling the pressure. Meanwhile, the Governor knows where they are, and he’s pissed off, and he’s coming for them. It’s going to be an exciting ride, I can promise you that.
This might be reading too much into it, but when Beth welcomed Rick back with a kiss on the cheek, and the camera kind of lingered on it, I immediately thought it would mean trouble between Carl and Rick.
I’ll leave that open to interpretation. I do think what’s sweet about that moment is that Rick does so much for this group and to have someone gracefully thank him is just a heartfelt moment. People write a lot about the surprises and the character deaths and the twists and turns and the zombies and all that fun stuff, but the show really comes down to these moments. Maggie saying goodbye to Hershel, the Carl-Beth relationship, Carol being happy when she sees the baby but then realizing it means that Lori is no longer there… You’ll see those types of moments in every episode.
Carl appears to be handling his mom’s death better than Rick so far. Is it only a matter of time before it hits him?
I don’t think the loss of his mother can ever easily be resolved. I will say that Carl develops in interesting ways. He makes some choices that make a lot of sense – as well as some choices that scare the hell out of Rick and the group. Carl is fearless to some extent, and that’s not necessarily a good thing in this world. I won’t say he’s reckless, but having put down his own mother, he is perhaps the most battle-tested out of any character in the entire show. That is frightening.
Why didn’t Andrea bolt immediately after seeing the Governor’s true colors? She even found out he had been keeping Glenn and Maggie from her.
But is the Governor the sole reason to stay in Woodbury? There are innocent people who were attacked by her own group. As the Governor becomes fixated on revenge for Rick and Michonne, Andrea is forced into a leadership position in Woodbury. She is certainly a person who wants to save innocent people, but she also wants to reconnect with her friends and figure out what’s going on. So the question for her is: is there a solution in which she can bring it all together instead of picking one side or the other?
What’s up with the Governor laying low after losing his daughter, his eye and getting the crowd to turn on Merle?
One of the things we’re trying to do is keep the show grounded and real, so the events in episode nine are the same day as Rick’s attack. The Governor is only taking the afternoon to figure out what’s going on. He wants to put together a plan. Yes, he’s dealing with the loss of his child, the loss of his eye, but he’s not a stupid character who is going to immediately charge into battle without having his questions answered first. I wouldn’t say he’s restraining himself.
I’m very glad both Merle and Daryl made it out alive. What’s next for them?
Michael Rooker is so much fun to work with. He’s such a wild card. You want that guy in the middle of the action screwing things up. What you’re going to see next is Daryl falling into an old pattern of behavior he’s had his entire life, which is something people do when they’re under stressful conditions. Think of all the history he’s had with his brother. He’ll fall back upon that and become the little brother again after we’ve seen him grow into a leader in Rick’s group. Now Daryl has choices: does he remain loyal to his blood? Does he remain loyal to Rick, who is now cracking under the pressure? | positive |
A vigil in support of peaceful anti-fascist protesters in Charlottesville, Va., was held on Boston Common on Sunday.
The City of Boston is making preparations for a conservative rally scheduled for Saturday on Boston Common, following the eruption of violence in Charlottesville, Va., that has raised troubling questions about the rise of extremists’ views across the country.
After a woman was killed when a car rammed a crowd of counterprotesters and others were injured, Twitter and Facebook exploded with postings about a rally next weekend in Boston that they say might attract white supremacists. Organizers were spreading information about the rally on Facebook, urging supporters to gather from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday on the nation’s oldest park for a Boston Free Speech rally.
Vehicle plows into peaceful marchers in Charlottesville
The mayor and Boston police sought on Sunday to reassure residents that violence would not be tolerated in the city.

“I don’t want that type of hate” coming into our city, Mayor Martin J. Walsh said when asked about the upcoming rally. “We don’t need that. We’ve worked real hard’’ to make Boston a tolerant city.

The police department’s Boston Regional Intelligence Center is on alert and State Police and local police pledged to be ready should any problems arise.
“We want to be clear that incidents of violence [or] inciting violence are not going to be tolerated at any events in Boston,’’ said Officer Rachel McGuire, spokeswoman for the Boston Police Department.
McGuire said the intelligence unit was aware of a planned Boston Free Speech rally “a while back.’’
State Police will monitor intelligence from a number of sources, including social media, about the rally and assess any credible public safety threats, according to spokesman David Procopio.

Councilor Tito Jackson, who is running for mayor, also said he condemns any event that allows “hatred, anti-Semitism, homophobia” in Boston.
“We will stand loud and proud and ensure the voices of who we are in Boston are heard,’’ said Jackson.
Governor Charlie Baker said through a spokesman that he is saddened and disturbed by the tragic events in Charlottesville, and believes “hatred, bigotry and violence as well as those who promote it have no place in our Commonwealth or country.”
Alexander Sender, a 23-year-old Cambridge resident who is a member of the New Free Speech Movement, which is organizing Saturday’s rally, said he has received a city permit to hold the event. But city officials said that although the group has filed an application for a permit, it has not received a final approval to rally Saturday.
Monica Cannon, who is helping to organize a counterprotest Saturday, said her group will be on the Common to speak up for civil rights.

“We watched what happened in Charlottesville and how people were treated,’’ Cannon said. “Not in our city. You don’t get to come here or think it is OK without being approached with resistance.”
Cannon said protesters heading to the counter-rally, which will include Black Lives Matter groups from Boston and Cambridge, plan to meet in front of the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center and then march to the Common.
She said fliers advertising the event on social media include names of speakers whose Twitter feeds include extremist views.
Another member of the New Free Speech Movement described the group as “Libertarian and traditional conservative leaning.” He would only identify himself as Louis, citing threats that group members have received.
Louis said his free-speech group is in no way affiliated with the Charlottesville rally organizer Jason Kessler, described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a white nationalist blogger.
“We have nothing to do with him,’’ said Louis. “The rally in Charlottesville was organized specifically by white nationalists. There is no link whatsoever with the group.”
Kessler did not respond to the Globe’s request for comment.
Gavin McInnes, one of the scheduled speakers for Saturday’s rally, said his group — known as Proud Boys — opposes “the kind of people who were in Charlottesville, and the Proud Boys made damn sure we had nothing to do with it,’’ he told the Globe in an e-mail.
“The rally on Saturday in Boston couldn’t be farther from the rally we just saw,’’ McInnes said. “We are socially liberal, fiscal conservatives who think America has a lot to be proud of. . . . We are pro-gay, multicultural, pro-Israel, pro-family and anti-Nazi. The alt left will try to twist this into being about bigotry but that’s a lie.”
Other speakers either did not respond to a Globe inquiry or declined to comment.
The rally and counter-rally have raised concerns with organizers of the New England Cosplay Community, which is planning its sixth annual picnic Saturday at the Common’s Parkman Bandstand. The group, whose members dress up in costumes depicting their favorite comic book or TV characters, has a permit to hold its event at the Parkman Bandstand Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. — at the same time and place where the Free Speech rally is scheduled to be held, according to the event’s page on Facebook.
Ashley Linkevich, a board member, said she is concerned that the rallies might “frighten our attendees.”
The Free Speech group, which held a rally on the Common in May, began planning a second rally shortly thereafter, Louis said. He said the group had initially eyed this past Saturday, but moved the date because of the rally in Charlottesville, he added.
He and Sender — both white males in their 20s — said the group is all about freedom of expression. Louis said the group values the right to extreme views, which, he added, are healthy for social advancement. Both disavow the use of violence to hurt or intimidate people.
Sender said the rally will probably attract people from both sides of the political spectrum, noting tensions have been building up over time.
“The purpose of it’s just to do free speech,’’ he said. “That’s all it’s ever been.”

"I love listening to music with my mate. We don't do it often, but when we do we'll just sit there and lose our heads in it. Sooner or later he'll start saying something to the effect of "Hey, Thom, can you put in something else now?" but I'll just nod coldly and respond "not just yet". But after awhile, I'll finally budge. And that's when I crack a big smile and take out The Bends and put in Kid A. My friend just sighs and leaves the room, and I can't blame him. He's not ready for that leap yet." - Thom Yorke
"You know, it's never easy to understand why I do what I do. For other people, I mean." - Thom Yorke
"I don't eat food, I Thom Yorke it. What's the difference? When normal people "eat" food, they first chew it with their "teeth" until it's small enough to go through their "esophagus" and then be broken down in their "stomach" and absorbed. When I Thom Yorke food, I chew it with my Thom Yorkes until it's small enough to go through my Yorke tube. It's then broken down in my Thomach, where if I eat too much sweets, I get a mean Thommy ache! But it's okay because Jonny's usually there to rub the pain out." - Thom Yorke | positive |

Nature Hikes in 2015 | Save West Coyote Hills Toggle navigation Home News News About About Us Board Of Directors And Advisory Council Our Accomplishments What is West Coyote Hills ? Why Save West Coyote Hills ? What Will it Be Saved As ? How Can It Be Saved ? Development Will Destroy West Coyote Hills FAQ Donate Pledge Support Support Join Our Email List Events Caption Text2 Nature Hikes in 2015 May21 admin Events Please join us for an enjoyable Nature Walk along the trails of West Coyote Hills. In Winter, we often have surprisingly wonderful hiking weather between days of refreshing rain showers. Many bird species overwinter here. And we always have the rare opportunity to hear or see a threatened bird, the California Gnatcatcher, which lives here year ’round. On clear days the views of Orange County and nearby snow-covered mountain peaks are spectacular and picture-worthy. It’s an easy 2 to 2 1/2 mile hike suitable for the entire family.

Fire breaks out in DPRK side of demilitarized zone
Fire broke out on Monday in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) side of the demilitarized zone, spreading to the South Korean side, Yonhap News Agency and YTN reported.
The fire, which started from the DPRK side near the Military Demarcation Line, spread to the South Korean side in front of the Dora Observatory, which is located on top of Mount Dora.
The observatory is South Korea's northernmost point in the western front, near which the inter-Korean transit office is situated for customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) for South Korean workers traveling to and from the inter-Korean factory park in the DPRK's border city of Kaesong.
The fire spread to the South Korean side at about 1:15 pm local time. Going to and returning from the Kaesong industrial complex was banned from 2 pm.
Firefighting and military authorities were quoted as saying that border areas near the site were full of gray smoke and the fire spread south rapidly due to strong wind.
Seven fire engines and about 50 firefighters and soldiers were dispatched to the scene to stop the flames from spreading further. The military plans to send three firefighting helicopters to the site after receiving approval from the DPRK.

China’s influence in the world has become a persistent theme of these early days of the Donald Trump era. During his campaign, Trump portrayed China (not entirely incorrectly) as the leading malefactor in the politics of international trade—holding its currency down in order to pump out exports, while making it hard for foreign companies to enter its own vast market. Then, after his victory, Trump as president-elect came up with the provocative idea of accepting a congratulatory phone call from the Taiwanese president. His intent seemed to be to knock the Chinese off balance in hopes of starting trade negotiations on a more favorable footing. Predictably this angered Beijing, which believes that it should control Taiwan, the self-governing island that Western nations, in deference to China, have long excluded from full diplomatic recognition.
But upon taking office, Trump executed a quick about-face. During a phone conversation in early February, Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping that his administration would abide by the One China policy, a vague formulation that China interprets to mean that Taiwan is part of China. In other words, the new administration caved. The score: The Art of War 1, The Art of the Deal 0.
One obvious conclusion is that the new administration has, as on so many other matters, shown itself to be a diplomatic dilettante. If the U.S. really wanted to challenge the fiction that Taiwan has no choice but to unite with mainland China, then it would have needed a real strategy and not just bluster. Similarly, the new administration withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, one widely regarded as favorable to the U.S., without any backup plan. Devoid of substance, the administration’s forays into China policy have left the U.S. weaker in its dealings with China, and looking less reliable to China’s neighbors.
Books Everything Under the Heavens Howard W. French From the former New York Times Asia correspondent and author of China’s Second Continent, an incisive investigation of China’s ideological development as it becomes an ever more aggressive player in regional and global diplomacy.For many years after its reform and opening in 1978, China maintained an attitude of false modesty about its ambitions. That role, reports Howard French, has been set aside. China has asserted its place among the global heavyweights, revealing its plans for pan-Asian dominance by building its navy, increasing territorial claims to areas like the South China Sea, and diplomatically bullying smaller players. Underlying this attitude is a strain of thinking that casts China’s present-day actions in decidedly historical terms, as the path to restoring the dynastic glory of the past. If we understand how that historical identity relates to current actions, in ways ideological, philosophical, and even legal, we can learn to forecast just what kind of global power China stands to become–and to interact wisely with a future peer.Steeped in deeply researched history as well as on-the-ground reporting, this is French at his revelatory best. —Penguin Random House
Seen from a broader perspective, however, a less obvious and more interesting point emerges: China is now such a strong regional power, and has such a focused strategic vision, that some sort of U.S. eclipse in East Asia is inevitable, regardless of who is in office in Washington. The first part of this point is easy to understand: 40 years of rapid economic growth have allowed the Communist Party to modernize its military. That’s made it a budding world power. But what of the second part: the strategic vision? What pushes China to want to dominate this part of the world? What is the ideology driving not just Xi and his team, but successive Chinese leaders who have looked out over East Asia, bided their time, and built their strength until now, in the second decade of the 21st century, they suddenly assert it?
Howard French helps answer these questions in his provocative but clearly argued book Everything Under the Heavens. The title comes from the Chinese phrase tian xia, which refers to China’s historic view of the world: China sitting in the middle as the sole possessor of civilization, with its much smaller neighbors on its periphery at best able to approach this perfection by imitating it. In French’s view, Beijing is reasserting these ancient prerogatives and means of controlling its neighbors. The Trump administration’s foreign policy helps China by shunning alliances and trade deals that might have helped East Asia’s smaller countries resist China’s pull. But overall, China’s growing power has mainly resulted from a reassertion of traditional worldviews coupled with the newfound might to realize them.
French’s book is filled with memorable sentences, such as: “Soon after 2010, China began a concerted push toward something that, if it succeeds, will constitute the biggest grab of territory the world has seen since Japan’s imperial conquests of the 1930s and 1940s.” Although readers might initially draw back at such formulations, upon reflection they are not only defensible but may be closer to reality than the “strategic ambiguity” approach to China favored by many in the foreign policy establishment, according to which we should avoid drawing large conclusions when discussing the Chinese government’s aims (and our own) because doing so would lead to disputes—better to kick the can down the road than to deal with troublesome reality.
Indeed, recent events bear out the need for clarity of thought and expression. For the past few years, China has methodically overrun its neighbors’ interests no less brutally than Russia has in Eastern Europe. This has not gone unnoticed but hasn’t caused quite the same level of alarm in foreign capitals. One reason might be trade. Unlike Russia, China is a crucial economic partner for many Western countries—for example, in 2016 it overtook the United States and France to become Germany’s biggest trading partner.
But part of the reason is also that Beijing’s intentions have been much harder to gauge. Russia clearly wants to annex lands it sees as its historic territory—Crimea, for example. But China? Some analysts suggest that its primary aim is not to dominate the coastal waters surrounding it. There must be more benign reasons, such as economic ones—it just wants the gas and oil under those waters and will eventually cut a deal to get access to them.
In fact, as French points out, China’s leaders really do want to control these areas. This is borne out by recent events. In 2010, China launched its first foray by sending fishing boats (which are pawns answering to the Chinese navy) into Japanese waters. The goal was to assert Chinese claims over the Senkaku—or in Chinese, the Diaoyu—Islands. The Japanese navy responded by seizing one of the boats, in what became the beginning of a series of feints and thrusts between the two countries.
Met with a forceful response—Japan has the most advanced navy in East Asia—the Chinese leadership pivoted southward toward weaker neighbors, such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines. There it began its most audacious move, one that the international community has not been able to counter: building artificial islands and declaring them Chinese territory.
Between 2013 and 2015 it built more than three thousand acres of new land in the South China Sea by occupying and expanding shoals and reefs just off the coast of the Philippines into islands big enough to support radar stations, runways, and docks for its growing navy. In the Spratlys alone it built 1.1 square miles (or about seven hundred acres) of new land; all the original islands and reefs in that island chain only covered two square miles.
Along with this building campaign has been Beijing’s novel—contemptuous might be a better word—interpretation of the law of the sea. First, the Chinese government violated any accepted understanding of maritime law by declaring the reefs and shoals to be sovereign territory. (These sorts of partially submerged rocks are not legally claimable land.) Then it claimed the waters around them as its exclusive economic zone. Finally it declared that economic zones of control are virtually the same as territorial waters, giving it the right to chase off any ship that passes through. The effect has been to make the South China Sea into China’s South Sea. This means more than Beijing being the dominant power in the region; it wants to control these waters as if they were an inland lake.
China’s leaders have not directly discussed these actions, but broadly say that their claims are based on history. The argument is simple: because Chinese ships once sailed here, the reefs and shoals are Chinese. But as French puts it:
These historical claims are not worth exploring because of any legal power they might possess. Almost all non-Chinese experts agree that claiming distant waters as one’s own “historic waterway” is not something that international law or conventions governing the sea either contemplate or permit. . .
They merit our attention instead because of how they speak to China’s ambivalence about the international system itself, and to the continuing resonance of a certain imperial perspective—tian xia.
This opens what for me was the most interesting part of French’s book: a look at the origins of this idea and how it manifested itself historically. French is not a historical determinist, but he sees China’s push to Southeast Asia as a “march to the tropics” that began millennia earlier with Chinese civilization moving southward from its origins in north-central China toward the Yangtze River and then down to the area around modern-day Hong Kong and Yunnan. Chinese rulers and officials eventually came to see three peripheries: an immediate zone that could be conquered, such as the modern-day province of Yunnan and its many hill tribes; an intermediary zone including Vietnam, Burma, and Siam, which could be assimilated; and the further reaches of Southeast Asia, which could be occasionally conquered but were too remote for effective control.
Vietnam and the people of what was then known as the Yue kingdom bore the brunt of this thrust to the south. After losing territory in present-day Guangzhou province (which is still known in China as Yue), Vietnamese rulers hunkered down in modern-day northern Vietnam and pushed south, conquering other peoples in what was essentially a mini-version of China’s imperialist mission. Vietnam’s rulers even had a Chinese-style name for neighboring Cambodia: “the pacified west.”
China’s last great gambit south was in the Ming dynasty, from the 14th to the 17th centuries, when it initially sent armadas to the South China Sea and beyond, most famously under the eunuch Zheng He. Like the Great Wall, Zheng He’s exploits were largely forgotten in China until Westerners discovered him and saw him as a Chinese Columbus or Magellan. Chinese nationalists in the 20th century latched onto this, constructing a version of history that persists today—mainly that Zheng He was a peace-loving explorer who went to trade with the natives.
In fact, the historical record is clear that Zheng He’s ships were designed not to explore but to carry large armies that fought and bullied local governments into surrendering booty. As French argues, this makes China a classic gunpowder empire that pillaged territories by using new technologies that its neighbors hadn’t yet mastered.
What stopped China from more firmly controlling these areas—and essentially giving them their independence today—was domestic turmoil. The Ming court decided it was not interested in far-flung seas, instead concentrating on pressure from northern nomadic tribes that eventually conquered the Ming and set up the Qing dynasty in the mid-17th century. The Qing also had little interest in lands beyond their coasts, but they did create an enormous land-based empire that China mostly still possesses today, including control over Xinjiang, Tibet, large swaths of historically Mongolian territory, and the northeast of the country, none of which had been under long-term Chinese control until the Qing. (Only modern-day Mongolia is now an independent state.)
This gives modern China a great land mass reaching deep into Central Asia—the equivalent, perhaps, of India controlling today’s Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Afghanistan. But paradoxically, even though China ended up with generous modern borders, it still suffers from what scholars call the “frustrated state” narrative: that it was a loser in history. In the 1920s and 1930s, influential writers like Liang Qichao bemoaned this loss. China, they felt, rightfully should have pursued Zheng He’s journeys and become a maritime empire.
This mattered to China’s modernizers—and today’s rulers—because they saw the world as built on sea-based empires and trade. So in 1947, the Chinese government (the Nationalists under Chiang Kai-shek) came up with the “nine-dash line,” a crude demarcation of China’s claims to the South China Sea that seemed to have been drawn with little more than chutzpah and a magic marker. It delineated China’s claims to all of the sea right up to the coastline of Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, as if they didn’t exist and didn’t deserve their own coastal territorial waters. Zheng He had been there, and that trumped the centuries of kingdoms and empires in those countries. Their history didn’t matter.
Unfortunately, this untenable claim is what successive governments have adopted and every schoolchild learns that this is China’s inalienable territory. At first China was hesitant and downplayed these claims—Mao didn’t care about these sorts of issues, while Deng was realistic enough to know that China was too weak to challenge its neighbors. But 40 years after Mao’s death and 20 years after Deng’s own passing, China is now strong and its neighbors are divided and weak. Hence the push to fulfill China’s historic mission and recreate the imagined lost empire of Zheng He.
As French makes clear, these efforts didn’t start with Xi Jinping. As early as 2003, shortly after Hu Jintao took over from Jiang Zemin as the president of China, Beijing began underwater mapping of Japanese inner coastal waters without notifying Japan. A little over a year later, it sent a nuclear-powered submarine into Japanese waters. That was followed by the fishing trawler episodes, which occurred two years before Xi took office.
But Xi has pushed this vision more vigorously as part of his cornerstone project of “the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.” Part of this is recapturing lost territory, but domestically Xi has also promoted traditional notions of patriotism and identity. Like his overseas adventures, these can be seen from a purely realpolitik point of view as a way to bolster domestic support at a time of falling economic growth. Yet this would be too narrow an interpretation. Instead, they are part of a greater national project of restoring the lost center of gravity to Chinese society, one that sees the state not as a provider of services or citizens’ rights, but as a guarantor of China’s rightful place abroad and shared values at home.
Unfortunately, this is an exercise based on recreating a myth. Chinese leaders might have fancied that other states eagerly awaited Zheng He’s ships and his civilizing gifts. But the record suggests that they kowtowed to the Chinese emperor as a strategy of survival. And even if Zheng He did force recalcitrant rulers to tremble and obey, that is not the basis of a viable international order.
This isn’t to say that relations were always bad or only based on violence and power. On the contrary, reality was much more interesting, as I learned during a recent visit to Singapore. There I had the chance to spend some time with the Chinese religious studies scholar Kenneth Dean of the National University of Singapore. Dean has devoted his career to studying how Chinese societies are organized, focusing first on the social life of coastal Chinese communities in Fujian province. He was struck by how contemporary religious life in one province, Fujian, was rebuilt after the Cultural Revolution with huge help from overseas Chinese in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. They brought back not only money but knowledge that had been lost, helping to recreate ritual life in these areas.
That sent Dean across the oceans to learn more about these overseas ties. He has found that this interaction isn’t new; it has been going on for centuries and has greatly enriched Chinese life. For example, Chinese traders had to shed some of their culture’s extreme patriarchalism when they came into contact with Malay culture. Greater emancipation for women then filtered back into southern Chinese coastal communities. Southeast Asia became a giant laboratory for new ideas that have mutually enriched its myriad cultures. They also helped make areas like southern China more independent of central control, giving them autonomy and the flexibility that today make them motors of China’s economy.1
China’s current approach threatens these fragile but fertile networks. By centralizing at home and pushing hard abroad, the Chinese state is stifling the cultural ferment and independent interactions that underpin true influence and innovation. Some countries, like Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia, have been so overwhelmed by China’s sudden dominance that they are now led by servile leaders eager to appease it at any cost. (French wrote his book before Rodrigo Duterte’s election as president of the Philippines but the country’s inability to deal with China was already so clear that he writes of the failure of the Filipino political class.)
Far wiser would be a China that has a hands-off approach to these countries and waterways. Given China’s size, it will inevitably dominate the region, but could do so more magnanimously—and arguably at greater strategic benefit to itself—for example by jointly drilling for oil and gas, and declaring the islets and reefs to be under international or some sort of joint jurisdiction, instead of pushing a hard-line 19th-century view of sovereignty and national greatness. This could help lead to a new kind of tian xia, one in which people are equal under heaven, instead of arranged hierarchically under new emperors and overlords. | positive |

Because there are so many ways that an organisation’s data might be lost or compromised, it is critical to take a multi-pronged approach to safeguard it. This refers to three critical areas: data protection, data security, and data privacy. Defining data protection, data security and data privacy Data protection, data security, and data privacy are often used interchangeably, but there are important distinctions among them. What is data protection? The safeguarding of important data from corruption, compromise, or loss is referred to as data protection as well as having the capacity to restore the data to a useable state if an incident occurs to make the data inaccessible or unusable. Data protection guarantees that data is not corrupted, can only be accessed for authorised purposes and adheres to data protection regulations. Protected data should be available when required and usable for its intended purpose. Data protection requires the implementation of controls, policies and procedures to meet data privacy regulations. What is data privacy? Also known as information privacy, data privacy refers to the correct collection, sharing, and use of sensitive data, which includes types of data such as personal information, financial data, and intellectual property data. The proper handling of this data is necessary to meet regulatory requirements and importantly to protect the confidentiality of the data. The most important aspect of data privacy is access control and managing who should and should not have access to data. In Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) protects the handling of personal information about individuals by relevant organisations, known as the Australian Privacy Principle Entities. This includes the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information in the federal public sector and the private sector. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to all businesses that gather personal data from EU citizens. What is data security? Data or information security refers specifically to the measures and tools used to safeguard digital information from both internal and external malicious threats and accidental loss or theft. For data to be adequately secured, the IT infrastructure must be secure as well. If the IT environment is vulnerable or unsecured, it is very difficult to ensure the safety of the data it contains. There are many security measures and data security tools to ensure data is secure. An example of such a measure is multifactor authentication (MFA), which employs at least two methods to ensure the identity of a user before granting access to the data. For example, an MFA system might use a traditional username and password in combination with a code received via text message to the user’s smartphone. What are the key differences? Data protection can be said to be the overall term used for data protection, data security, and data privacy. While there is a certain overlap between the three, there are also some key differences: Data protection vs data security Data protection is distinct from data security in that it ensures data can be restored if necessary, whereas data security is concerned with preventing malicious attacks on an organisation’s data and other IT resources. A data security strategy protects an organisation from being breached through the use of a multi-layered approach, meaning that if an intruder breaches one of the organisation’s defences, there are still other barriers in place to prevent access. The last line of defence in this strategy is data protection. If an organisation’s data were to be successfully encrypted by a ransomware attack, a backup application could be used to recover from the attack and get the data back. Data security vs data privacy An example of where data privacy and data security overlap is the use of data encryption to keep data private. For example, while encryption protects data, it can also be used as a data security tool. Only those with the proper permissions can access the data is what data privacy refers to. Data security, on the other hand, focuses on defending against malicious attacks. Data privacy vs data protection Data privacy and data protection are distinctly different. Data privacy refers to preventing unauthorized access to data, while data protection is concerned with ensuring that an organisation can recover its data after a data loss incident. Due to these differences, data privacy and data protection are frequently employed together. For example, backup tapes are frequently encrypted to prevent unwanted access to the information they hold. Data protection governance and compliance with the experts Data protection cannot be guaranteed by simply implementing one or more data security technologies. Rather, when creating data privacy protection guidelines for your business, you need to understand the type of information being collected, how it is being used, and what happens to it, alongside implementing robust data backup and recovery and adequate data security measures such as access control.

In this Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017, photo, visitors walk by Foxconn's exhibition booth promoting its Sharp 8K flat screen TV in Beijing. The Wisconsin Senate approved nearly $3 billion in cash payments for Foxconn Technology Group on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2017 while also giving the Taiwanese company a slightly less expedited path to the state Supreme Court for certain legal challenges related to a planned massive electronics manufacturing factory. (AP Photo/Andy Wong)
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Assembly sent a $3 billion incentive package for Taiwan-based Foxconn to Gov. Scott Walker on Thursday, signing off on a deal to lure the electronics giant to the state with the biggest subsidy to a foreign company in U.S. history.
The bill approved on a bipartisan 64-31 vote would make $2.85 billion available to Foxconn Technology Group in cash payments if it invests $10 billion and hires 13,000 workers. The Senate approved the proposal Tuesday.
The Republican governor was in South Korea on a trade mission at the time of the vote but pledged to sign the incentives package into law soon.
Walker, who negotiated the deal and is its lead champion, joined President Donald Trump in announcing Foxconn’s plans to build in Wisconsin at a White House event in July, heralding it as a game-changer for American manufacturing.
Assembly Democrats, who didn’t have the votes to stop it, slammed the proposal Thursday as being unfairly rigged to benefit Foxconn at the expense of taxpayers. But Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos defended it as an unprecedented opportunity for the state and country.
“What’s rigged is the deal for the taxpayer, the workers, the families and ultimately those of us who have the good foresight to realize when a good deal is put in front of you,” Vos said.
Foxconn is the largest contract manufacturer of electronics, best known for making iPhones, but with a long list of customers including Sony Corp., Dell Inc. and BlackBerry Ltd. The Wisconsin plant would construct liquid crystal display panels for televisions, computers and other uses.
The total incentive package is 10 times larger than anything ever approved in Wisconsin and would be the biggest state subsidy to a foreign company in the United States.
Foxconn issued an unsigned statement thanking Wisconsin, saying the incentives “will help us move forward with our plans to build the state-of-the-art advanced display manufacturing campus.” It also pledged to make extensive use of the supply chain in the state to make Wisconsin “a center of worldwide high-tech manufacturing.”
Critics have warned that there aren’t enough protections for taxpayers to recover payments to Foxconn if it automates production and fires workers. They’ve also said more needs to be done to guarantee that Wisconsin workers and businesses get preference during the construction phase of the plant, and once it’s up and running. Foxconn has said it hopes to open the plant in 2020 with 3,000 workers, but that the workforce could grow to 13,000.
The Assembly passed the bill with all Republicans and four Democrats in support. Two Republicans joined all other Democrats against.
Opponents objected to a provision that would allow the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take appeals of certain lawsuits related to Foxconn, skipping the appeals court. No other business in the state is provided such an expedited route to the Supreme Court.
Under the bill, the company would have 15 years to access the maximum $2.85 billion in cash payments tied to meeting the investment and hiring numbers. They can also receive $150 million in sales tax exemptions on construction equipment.
The Walker administration is charged with negotiating minimum hiring numbers to trigger the payments in the contract with Foxconn which has not been finalized. Foxconn has also not selected the exact location for the plant, but it has focused on property in Racine County in between Milwaukee and Chicago.
Democrats have also raised alarms about exemptions under the bill that waive requirements for Foxconn to first develop an environmental impact statement before constructing what could be a 20-million-square-foot (1.86-million-square-meter) campus. Foxconn would also be allowed to build in wetland and waterways.

A gust of fresh air blew past Raven Stormshroud as she scanned the skies. It was supposed to be a reminder of the freedom of the air, of the carefree life in the floating cities above Toran. The life that the townsfolk would be experiencing, if not for the gauntlet of enemy ships that besieged the city, a siege now in its thirty-third day.
No gaps in the cordon of ships, or none that she trusted, anyway. She'd learned early in the siege that when the dark elf Emiry Uriks left an opening, it was a trap. He might be brutal and cruel, from all the reports she'd heard, but he was also a master tactician.
She let her roof-prism glasses fall. Fancy instrument, the best binoculars money could buy, but they couldn't show her a way to break the siege. Leaving the parapet, she swung down by rope to the city below. The city of Toranfide couldn't be said to have streets exactly. The tightly woven base of the city was the closest thing to a street and often functioned as one. Through chinks in the weave, the mountains of Toran were visible far below. Raven hurried along that webbing toward the High Hangar command tower. Maybe her lieutenant Domi would have some new ideas. As if any of their ideas had done them a bit of good so far.
Now that you've learned about the game and its mechanics, why not journey deeper into the evolving world of Asyria by reading an awesome short story about Panstrom Swiftra, Praetan High Overseer, written by Studio Writer Daniel Ausema.
If you’d like to learn more about the creative process behind CLASH! Dawn of Steam, feel free to check out these interviews about the entire game design process. You’ll see some of the hurdles that you, the awesome tabletop gaming community, have helped us overcome.

http://www.allusgeeks.com/2014/04/the-game-of-crowd-funding-jared-barry-interview-04-17-2014/
We've spent the last 12 months ensuring that the game mechanics were as fun and balanced as possible, while slowly commissioning the art for the game out of pocket, one piece at a time. This project is (and always has been) a labor of love, which is why we've had no problem locking ourselves in our homes and living modestly in order to fund the game to this stage. We've self-funded all of the art for an entire 2-Player Boxed Set as a show of our passion and ever-growing belief in this evolving world of Asyria. We here at Mad Ape Games fully believe this game is ready to be enjoyed by the amazing tabletop community.
And so, the time has finally come to share our game with the world, and we need your help so that our world class artists can finish up the artwork, and we can send the game off to final production.

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian police confirmed on Monday (July 4) that a grenade blast which wounded eight people at a nightclub in Puchong, Selangor last week was the first successful ISIS attack on Malaysian soil.
Police said they believed that there were Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) elements that were behind the grenade blast at the Movida nightclub in Puchong, a town outside Kuala Lumpur, last Tuesday, The Star reported. Eight people, including a woman from China, were injured in the blast.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said the attack was carried out by locals who were directly instructed by ISIS member Muhamad Wanndy Mohamad Jedi from Syria.
Police said they have arrested 15 people as part of a counter-terrorism crackdown following the attack, including the two men believed to have carried out the blast.
“The two of those arrested had received instructions from Muhamad Wanndy, who had commanded them to carry out attacks in Malaysia, on our government leaders, top police officials and judges. These three groups are considered as threatening to (ISIS) activities,” Khalid said at a news conference, according to Reuters.
Khalid said those detained during the crackdown had all received instructions to carry out attacks on top officials “and also entertainment centres, which they consider un-Islamic”.
Seven of the men were arrested in Kedah, four in Selangor, two in Kuala Lumpur and one each in Malacca and Penang, the New Straits Times (NST) reported, and all were aged between 19 and 52.

It was confirmed that two of the 15 were also policemen.
Khalid said the main perpetrators of the attack were arrested in Port Klang on July 1 and the suspects had worked in a factory there, the NST reported. Police believe the mini grenade used was smuggled in from a neighbouring country and police had also seized multiple sharp weapons, balaclavas, as well as ISIS flags and ideology materials during their operation.
All those detained, including the two linked directly to the attack, are Malaysians.
The attack on June 28 occurred in the early hours of the morning as patrons were at the Movida nightclub to watch a Euro 2016 match.
The police had previously ruled out terrorism as the motive for the attack, saying a more likely motive appeared to be business rivalry, or a targeted attack on someone in the bar.
But doubts were raised over the motive after a Facebook page linked to the militant group claimed responsibility for the attack.
Reuters previously reported that counter-terrorism officials were trying to establish the credibility of the claim, which was posted on the Facebook page of Muhammad Wanndy a known Malaysian ISIS fighter. Muhammad Wanndy had claimed on his Facebook page that the attack had been carried out by two followers of ISIS.
The ISIS recently released a video of its fighters from South-east Asia calling on its supporters to stay home and unify under one umbrella group to launch attacks in the region.
Four suspected militants were arrested in January, and in April last year 17 people were arrested on suspicion of plotting terror attacks in Kuala Lumpur. | positive |
