[ null, "It could take weeks to restore power to millions of people left in the dark by Tropical Storm Irene.\n\nThe lights went out for around five million people and businesses from Folly Beach, S.C., to Portland, Maine. And thousands of utility workers have begun the race to restore power.\n\nGetting the lights back on will be an enormous job for crews fanning across the East Coast. Irene ripped down power lines and crushed critical equipment near power plants. It flooded coastal cities with seawater, dousing electrical stations and threatening underground wires. Crews are still assessing the damage.\n\n\"We're dark across the whole map,\" said Theresa Gilbert of Connecticut Light & Power. Irene blacked out half of the utility's 1.2 million customers Sunday, making it the biggest outage in Connecticut history.\n\nMore than five million people and businesses remain without power, and the storm had led to the deaths of at least 22 people in eight state. Some areas in its path, like Manhattan, were relatively unscathed by the weekend storm, while other areas will need days, or even weeks, to recover.\n\nThe outages could be critical for the elderly, disabled and others who rely on community services.\n\n\"What if we're without power for days?\" asked Pat Dillon, 52, who is partially paralyzed from a stroke. Dillon's senior care facility in Milford, Conn., lost power when a generator failed. As she sat in the dark, Dillon worried that her wheelchair's batteries would run out. Even worse, she needs to keep her diabetes mediation chilled.\n\n\"Once the refrigerator gets warm, my insulin goes bad,\" Dillon said. \"I could go into diabetic shock. It's kind of scary.\"\n\nPower companies say they'll try to get critical services running first. But many are just starting to understand the full extent of damage to the grid. Utility workers must traverse thousands of square miles to find out what's down before they can start repairs.\n\n\"It's going to be several days at least for our most severely damaged areas\" to get power back, said Mike Hughes, a spokesman for Progress Energy in North Carolina, which serves about 3.1 million customers.\n\nGilbert, with Connecticut Power, said it took two weeks to restore power after Hurricane Gloria knocked out service to 477,000 customers in 1985.\n\n\"And this definitely blows those numbers away,\" she said.\n\nIn Virginia, Irene knocked out power to more than 300 critical services, including hospitals, emergency call centers and fire stations. Dominion Resources expects half of those facilities to be restored by the end of the day and most of the rest fixed by Monday.\n\nMost public health and safety facilities have backup generators, Dominion spokesman Dan Genest said. \"For those that don't, we're asking them to take care of their people as well as they can. We'll get them up as soon as possible.\"\n\nLights were already flickering back on in the South, where the storm hit first. Crews have started clearing uprooted trees and reconnecting electrical lines. Power is returning to more than a million homes and businesses in the region. In southern Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, utility companies said they'd restored power to more than 1.3 million customers as of Sunday afternoon.\n\n\"A number of rivers in northern New Jersey are under an extreme flood watch,\" said Ron Morano, a spokesman for Jersey Central Power & Light. He said the number of outages would keep going up.\n\nSome of the storm's damage will be easy to spot: a tree smashed into a power pole, for example. Other problems will be tougher to figure out. Sometimes power has been cut off but there's no apparent damage. That's a tougher situation because crews need to move slowly down power lines to find the sections without electrical current. That can take days.\n\nPower companies will focus on parts of their system where they can restore power to the most people at once. They'll start with massive transmission lines that supply entire counties. Then they'll deal with smashed utility poles that serve individual neighborhoods.\n\nMeasuring by power outages, Irene was more significant than the last hurricane to make landfall in the continental U.S. Nearly 3.9 million people lost power in 10 states back in September of 2008 as Hurricane Ike carved a path of destruction from Texas to Illinois, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.\n\nNew York City appeared to escape with relatively little damage. Irene weakened to a tropical storm just before it pushed over Coney Island Sunday morning. It knocked over trees and washed the southern tip of Manhattan with seawater. But with just 121,000 power outages, the city fared better than it did during a March 2010 nor'easter.\n\nCity officials had worried that flooding would seep into underground lines that power the New York Stock Exchange and thousands of other Wall Street businesses. But the seawater didn't rise as high as feared, and it receded quickly. The main stock exchanges were set to open as scheduled Monday.\n\nNew York City's biggest power company, Consolidated Edison, said it should have the lights back on by Tuesday evening for most of its customers.\n\nAs skies clear, Progress Energy said it is ramping up power to its nuclear generating units in Southport, N.C. and expects to be at full power within 24 hours. The nuclear plant was powered down before Irene hit as a precaution.\n\nAs they switch off nuclear power plants, the utilities turn to other energy sources like natural gas-fired generators to keep the power flowing to customers." ]

[ "Chicago is the capital of Illinois. The city has approximately 2.7 million residents. It is also called as \"Chicagoland\", and it is the third-largest in the United States, with an estimated 9.8 million people. During the mid-18th century, the area was inhabited by a Native American tribe known as the Potawatomi, who had taken the place of the Miami and Sauk and Fox peoples. The 1780s saw the arrival of the first known non-indigenous permanent settler in Chicago, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, who is believed to be of Haitian and French descent. In 1795, following the Northwest Indian War, an area that was to be part of Chicago was turned over by some Native Americans in the Treaty of Greenville to the United States for a military post\nThe name \"Chicago\" is derived from a French word of the Native American word shikaakwa, translated as \"wild onion\" or \"wild garlic,\" from the Miami-Illinois language. The first known reference to the site of the current city of Chicago as \"Checagou\" was by Robert de LaSalle around 1679 in a memoir written about the time.\nBEST HOLIDAY PACKAGES", null, "Chicago is located in northeastern at the southwestern tip of Lake Michigan. It is the principal city in Chicago Metropolitan Area situated in the Midwestern United States and the Great Lakes region. Chicago fits on a continental divide at the site of the Chicago Portage, connecting the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes watersheds. The city lies beside freshwater Lake Michigan, and two rivers the Chicago River in downtown and the Calumet River in the industrial far South Side - flow entirely or partially through Chicago.\nThe results of the Great Chicago Fire led to the largest building boom in the history of the nation. In 1885, the first steel-framed high-rise building, the Home Insurance Building, rose in the city as Chicago evolved in the skyscraper era, which would then be followed by many other cities around the world. Today, Chicago's skyline is among the world's tallest and most dense. The United States two tallest towers are both located in Chicago, Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower, and the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere), and Trump International Hotel.\n\nThe Navy Pier originally opened in 1916 as an amusement area and shipping facility but is now one of Chicago's most popular tourist attractions. Today, the Navy Pier is made up of 50 acres of gardens, attractions, shops, restaurants, concert venues, and parks.\n\nBuilt in 1927 as a donation from the family, the Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain is one of the largest in the world. Designed in the period's iconic Art Deco style, the central fountain is surrounded by four seahorses that represent Lake Michigan's four bordering states.\n\nWhen talking about the most exquisite places to see in Chicago, the Art Institute has to be on the list as it houses a collection of more than 300,000 pieces of artwork.\n\nKnown for hosting the concerts and festivals, this is one of the most popular Chicago attractions which is all about the city’s weekend vibe.

The CTA operates an extensive network of buses and a rapid transit elevated and subway system known as the 'L' (for \"elevated\"), with lines designated by colors. These rapid transit lines also serve both Midway and O'Hare Airports. The CTA's rail lines consist of the Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Brown, Purple, Pink, and Yellow lines. Both the Red and Blue lines offer 24 hour service which makes Chicago one of a handful of cities around the world (and one of two in the United States -the other being New York City) to offer rail service 24 hours a day, every day of the year, within the city's limits. Metra, the nation's second-most used passenger regional rail network, operates an 11-line commuter rail service in Chicago and throughout the Chicago suburbs. The Metra Electric Line shares its track age with Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District's South Shore Line, which provides commuter service between South Bend and Chicago. Pace, provides bus and para transit service in over 200 surrounding suburbs with some extensions into the city as well. A 2005 study found that one quarter of commuters used public transit.\nPort authority: The Port of Chicago consists of several major port facilities inside the city of Chicago operated by the Illinois International Port District.

SIM chair Iqbal Survé is cited as one of the respondents to the application.\n\nParliament’s finance committee heard in October that the PIC issued a letter of demand to Sekunjalo over its failure to repay the loan it gave the company to acquire Independent Media.\n\nSIM spokesperson Takudzwa Hove said the action was “designed as a further attempt to embarrass and undermine the Sekunjalo Group and Dr Survé personally and is aimed at provoking a run on SIM’s major subsidiary, Independent Media, which is fully operational”.\n\nPIC senior market risk analyst Tshifhango Ndadza told an inquiry into the asset manager in May how it initially invested R1.285bn in 2013 to enable Sekunjalo to buy the Independent Media group from its Irish parent, Independent News and Media Plc in 2013.\n\nIndependent Media owns a range of well-known publications including The Star and Cape Argus.\n\nSekunjalo would later table an offer to buy the PIC’s shares and loans in Independent Media at almost double their book value, representing a substantial premium. However, Ndadza testified that there was a catch.\n\n“The proposal also carried with it an implicit investment consideration for PIC to invest in Sekunjalo’s listed entity, Sagarmatha Technologies,” Ndadza said.\n\n“This conditional exit mechanism could have presented reputational risk as the PIC/Government Employees Pension Fund would be perceived to be funding its own exit,” he said. “Independent Media had liabilities exceeding assets by about R500m-600m.”\n\nThe PIC had already begun impairing its loans to Independent Media given that it had not been able to service them since inception.\n\nBy March 2018, those loans had been completely impaired in the books of the PIC and the GEPF, which provides the large majority of the more than R2-trillion the PIC manages." ]

[ null, "United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions looks on during a cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House. Olivier Douliery/picture-alliance/dpa/AP\n\nOn Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions warned that colleges and universities are “coddling” young people instead of encouraging them to engage with different viewpoints. At a high school leadership summit hosted by Turning Point USA, a conservative national student group that promotes free-market principles, Sessions laughed off chants of “lock her up,” and escalated his rhetoric against college free-speech policies, both openly mocking universities and criticizing schools, in stark terms, for creating a “generation of sanctimonious, sensitive, supercilious snowflakes.”\nHere are some of Sessions’ prepared remarks:\n\nThrough “trigger warnings” about “microaggressions,” cry closets, “safe spaces,” optional exams, therapy goats, and grade inflation, too many schools are coddling our young people and actively preventing them from scrutinizing the validity of their beliefs. That is the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do.\nAfter the 2016 election, for example, they held a “cry-in” at Cornell, they had therapy dogs on campus at the University of Kansas, and Play-dough and coloring books at the University of Michigan. Students at Tufts were encouraged to “draw about their feelings.”\nRather than molding a generation of mature and well-informed adults, some schools are doing everything they can to create a generation of sanctimonious, sensitive, supercilious snowflakes.\nThat is a disservice to their students and a disservice to this nation.\n\nIf these remarks sound familiar, it’s because Sessions and his Justice Department colleagues have spoken often on how they feel colleges and universities are falling short when it comes to free speech on campuses, including those that protest conservative, and at times far-right, voices. At a speech at Georgetown University last September, Sessions warned that campuses have become “an echo chamber of political correctness and homogeneous thought, a shelter for fragile egos.” In January, his principal deputy attorney general, Jesse Panuccio, suggested that colleges should punish students who protest speakers, telling a crowd at Northwestern University, “If schools would impose serious consequences on those who shut down events and engage in violence, it is likely such tactics would abate.”\nNotably, Sessions told the crowd of high school students Tuesday that the Justice Department would continue to intervene in legal challenges against university free-speech policies. Since September, the agency has filed “statements of interest” in four lawsuits against colleges and universities brought by students challenging free speech policies, including a case at the University of California-Berkeley regarding policies adopted after the high-profile protests against conservative speakers that embroiled the campus last year.\nMost recently, in June, the department filed a brief in a case against the University of Michigan alleging that the university’s policies governing bias and harassment had a “profound chilling effect on protected expression.” The federal lawsuit, filed in May by the nonprofit Speech First, which advocates free-speech rights on campuses, argued that the definitions for harassment were too broad and that the university’s “bias response team,” a group of officials that investigate reports of bias on campus, posed a “grave threat to free expression.” The group’s complaint claimed the university’s policies had prevented three anonymous students from speaking openly about their views. In their court filing, Justice Department attorneys argued the university “imposes a system of arbitrary censorship of, and punishment for, constitutionally protected speech.”\nThe same day Justice Department attorneys filed the June brief, Michigan officials announced the university had narrowed the definitions for bullying and harassment. University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald told NBC News that month that the lawsuit “misstated University of Michigan policy and painted a false portrait of speech on our campus.” If Sessions follows through on his remarks today, the department’s intrusion on the free-speech case at the University of Michigan will not be the last.", null, null, null ]

[ null, "It’s a rarity, but when the 74th Senior Amateur kicks off in Old Lyme, there will be one single, definitive favorite. That’s Bill Hermanson. A Black Hall member, Hermanson has won 25 club championship here, in addition to, with partner Dave Szewczul, back-to-back Two Man Championships, which Black Hall hosts annually, in 2015 and 2016. Hermanson loves the course and it fits his game. To begin with, he’s long and straight off the tee.\n\n“Black Hall has always been a course where a player has to drive the ball well,” he says. “That doesn’t necessarily mean long, though that helps. You simply can’t spray the ball the way you can at some courses. You’re not going to recover.”\n\nWhich is why, Hermanson says, Black Hall endures as a championship venue and why it’s such a good match for a strong Connecticut senior generation. (Thirteen members of this year’s field qualified for the New England Senior Amateur Championship at Biddeford-Saco Country Club in Maine, September 17-18).\n\n“It’s a course where you just have to step up and hit good shots,” he says. “There’s not a lay-up hole out there really. Maybe the [par-5] second. But you can’t fake it at Black Hall.”\n\nDesigned by Robert Trent Jones at the peak of his powers in 1967, the course is fair but stern. Jones is an architect not as much in fashion today as he once was, but in Black Hall he used length, the challenge of many strategically positioned trees, elevated approaches to create a beautiful track where accuracy, as Hermanson says, is at a premium.\n\nPast CSGA champions at Black Hall attest to that. Steve Sokol won the 2003 Open there. Jeff Hedden (2006) and Mike Kennedy (2017) won Mid-Amateurs there. Evan Grenus, now a professional, won the 2015 Amateur at Black Hall.\n\nFor the 74th Senior Amateur the par-70 course will play to about 6400 yards, about the length of Shorehaven last year. Three of the course’s par 4s measure more than 400 yards and two others come within a few yards of it. Most of the shorter par 4s play uphill or around doglegs to elevated greens. In short, Black Hall is not short.\n\n“The course plays longer than its yardage for sure,” agrees Hermanson, a 2012 Connecticut Golf Hall of Fame inductee. “You’ve got a lot of uphill holes, some that don’t even look uphill. Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9….they just go on and on. And you have a lot of doglegs. Distance control with approach shots is critical.”\n\nThough decidedly a favorite, Hermanson, who could have easily won last year at Shorehaven but for a balky putter, doesn’t make a big deal of any “home field” advantage. “You can argue pro and con about that,” he says. “But on balance, having the choice between playing somewhere else or here, I’ll take Black Hall.”\n\nThe favorite faces a formidable field.\n\n—Dave Szewczul, of Tunxis Plantation Country Club, who this month won the New England Super Senior Championship in Maine, and is a three-time Senior Am champion, the last in 2016\n\n—2007 Champion Richard Stevens of the Eclub of Connecticut\n\nIn addition to Senior Amateur winners, other recent CSGA champions include:\n\n—Eric Litke of Keney Park, who won Siderowf (senior) Division of the 2019 Tournament of Champions at Bull’s Bridge early in September.\n\n—Tom Yellin of the Stanwich Club has qualified for several USGA championships, including the 2014 U.S. Senior Amateur. He is a past U.S. Amateur quarterfinalist.\n\n—Paul Fitzsimmons of Brooklawn Country Club won the senior division of the MGA’s Richardson Memorial in May.\n\n—Mike Fitzpatrick of H. Smith Richardson, who lost in a playoff at last year’s TOC.\n\n—Mike Hooper, also of Brooklawn, was a finalist in the Senior Match Play in 2018 and a contender at the Senior Amateur last year as well.\n\n—Jim Romaniello of Shorehaven Golf Club, the 2017 Westchester Golf Association Player of the Year, placed second at Bull’s Bridge in the Tournament of Champions.\n\n—Bob Murphy of Brownson Country Club, medalist in the Senior Match Play for the past two years and a semi-finalist this year, was third at Bull’s Bridge in the TOC.\n\n—Rick Malafronte of Indian Hill Country Club was a quarterfinalist in the last two Senior Match Play Championships. He finished T4, along with Szewczul, in this month’s 2019 New England Senior Amateur Championship.\n\n—Derek Waddington, Jeff Dolin and and Randy Rizy, all of whom, along with Hermanson and Szewczul, made the cut at Shuttle Meadow in the Mid-Amateur.\n\nA great track. A Hall of Fame favorite. A very strong field. The 2019 Connecticut Senior Amateur promises to be quite a show." ]

[ null, "Liquid biopsy performed on serum samples taken from breast cancer patients can provide increasingly accurate information on cancer progression and enable earlier detection of cancer recurrence, a new study from the University of Eastern Finland and Kuopio University Hospital shows. The findings were published in Cancers.\n\nIntratumoral heterogeneity is a major challenge for cancer treatment\n\nIt is possible that some cancer cells tolerate treatment well enough to survive, which can lead to recurrent breast cancer later on.\n\n“Time is a key factor in intratumoral heterogeneity. Over time, the spectrum and properties of cancer cells tend to change and develop in a direction that is more therapeutically challenging,” Doctoral Researcher Jouni Kujala from the University of Eastern Finland says.\n\n“In addition, tumor samples are representative at the time of sampling only, and intratumoral heterogeneity cannot really be monitored much after sampling.”\n\nLiquid biopsy that utilizes biomarkers released by cancer cells has been proposed as a possible method for the early detection of recurrent breast cancer, and for the monitoring of cancer progression. A major advantage of liquid biopsy over traditional tumor biopsy is the ease, safety and repeatability of sampling.\n\nThe researchers observed mutations characteristic of recurrent breast cancer in cell-free DNA months before the recurrent cancer was detected during a medical examination. With the mutations observed, the researchers were also able to assess changes in intratumoral heterogeneity, and to establish a more accurate understanding of the clinical picture.\n\n“By monitoring the cancer mutations detectable from cell-free DNA, it is possible not only to detect recurrent breast cancer but also to identify mutations that are relevant to treatment planning and thus to support medical professionals’ decision-making,” Professor Arto Mannermaa from the University of Eastern Finland explains." ]

[ "“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing”\n\nChristian Mission has a long history and the meaning of the word “mission” has evolved through time. It used to be that when people talked of “missions” they were referring to people from the North who went overseas to “evangelize” or live with poor communities in the villages in the Global South. These people were called “missionaries”.\n\nWhat I would like us to do here is to revisit how different understandings of Mission evolved through church history. Kwame Bediako from Ghana argues that church history is mission history.\n\nIn the first century of the Christian movement, many of the first ecclesial communities believed that the promised return of the Christ was happening anytime soon. The goal of mission then was to “preach the gospel” to as many people as possible so they may be “saved”. Christianity spread from Palestine to the rest of the Mediterranean world until it became the official religion of the Empire in 380 CE.\n\nGiven the diversity of groups and gospels, the Church focused its energies on “right belief” and in the process went to battle against those who held other beliefs (e,g. heretics). Seven ecumenical councils (e.g.Nicaea, Constantinople, Chalcedon) worked to create right language around Christian belief in the form of doctrines and creeds. In 1054, the Church of the East broke away from the Church of the West over doctrinal differences.\n\nDuring the 15th century, powerful countries in Europe started explorations into distant lands. In what is now referred to as the “Doctrine of Discovery”, mission came to be understood as “civilizing mission” that went hand in hand with “discovering” and taking ownership of new lands and turning them into colonies. Civilizing missions were conceived as bringing “the light of the gospel” to “the heart of darkness”, the backward, uncivilized colored indigenous peoples in the colonies.\n\nIn the 20th century, after the experience of two world wars, former colonies struggled and won their independence. People from former colonies started to migrate and settle in the countries of their colonizers (eg. UK, France, USA). Migration gave rise to pluralist societies marked by a diversity of worldviews, languages, cultures, religions and traditions. By this time, the center of World Christianity had shifted to the Global South.\n\nNow in the 21st century, much of the language around Christian mission has changed but some of the previously held interpretations are still present. In “Together Towards Life” (TTL) the World Council of Churches (WCC) during its 10th General Assembly in Busan, South Korea (2013) spoke of Mission as “resistance and struggle”. This is the frame I am working with in this series of blogs on “Refugees and Resistance: Enacting God’s mission in liminal spaces.”(Vallejo, 2020)\n\nI think of Missio Dei as engaging the powers and domination systems that are operative in today’s world. I want to re-describe the heart of the Triune God’s work as struggle in a world dominated by “Empire”. Empire as defined by the Accra Confession 2004 refers to “the convergence of economic, political, cultural, geographic, and military imperial interests, systems, and networks for the purpose of amassing political power and economic wealth.” Empire is what stands in opposition to God’s purposes for the world. They “obstruct the fullness of life that God wills for all” (TTL 45)\n\nI find support for this view in resistance literature embedded in the biblical narrative. In the people’s struggle in Egypt, the narrator shows the fragility of the Pharaoh’s power compared to the mighty arm of the deity, later to be known as YHWH. The same theme of resistance and struggle runs through apocalyptic literature in the First and Second Testaments.\n\nIn many ways, border crossings performed by refugees/migrants today is an act of resistance against nation-states who consider it their absolute right to decide who may or may not enter their borders. Refugees are resisting not having voice or visibility by breaking the silence and showing up in huge numbers at international borders, even in the midst of the current pandemic. While this kind of resistance may not be enough to improve their situation or change the system, at the very least they hope to raise awareness that something needs to be done. I believe our God struggles with them as they travel through liminal spaces.", null, "I invite us to think of our mission as mobilizing the church for social engagement and prophetic witness and the flourishing of all of God’s creation.

[ "Report: NFL could lose $5 billion if season played without fans", null, "The NFL has avoided any major setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic thanks in large part to timing. If things don’t improve in the next few months, though, the league could be on the brink of an unprecedented financial hit.\n\nIf a full 17-week regular season is played without fans in attendance, which remains a possibility, the league could collectively lose billions of dollars in revenue.\n\nWhile the league is confident there will be an NFL season in 2020, there is no guarantee fans will be able to attend games. States across the country are opening up to sports, but there are also fears that there could be a second wave of COVID-19.\n\nIf that hits in September, right when the regular season begins, the economic fallout for every team would be staggering. According to estimates from Forbes’ Mike Ozanian, the NFL would lose $5.5 billion in stadium revenue this upcoming season, a 38% hit to the league’s total revenue, if games are played in empty stadiums.\n\nThe projection is even worse than earlier estimates for one of the NFL’s nightmare scenarios. At a time when many hoped the salary cap would skyrocket next season thanks to new television deals, a 38% revenue hit would send the cap tumbling down for years to come.\n\nWhat NFL teams would be hurt the most by empty stadiums\n\nThe NFL itself would have to deal with the lost revenue, but some teams would be hurt far more than others. A variety of factors generates each team’s total revenue, but several organizations greatly depend on fans coming to the stadium for a majority of their income.\n\nAs estimated by Ozanian based on figures from 2018, some of the NFL’s most popular teams would be the most impacted by a fan-free season.\n\nWhile some of the money could be made up with new television contracts and record-breaking ratings, it wouldn’t be enough to cover the losses. It could be even worse for the Cowboys, who could lose out on revenue generated from Alabama facing USC at AT&T Stadium.\n\nTexas, Colorado and Florida are still expecting to have fans in attendance for games this fall. However, the same can’t be said in New York.\n\nThe NFL will certainly remain hopeful for now that the season will start on time with some fans in attendance. But given the financial hit at stake if that doesn’t happen, don’t be surprised if the NFL season is delayed." ]

[ null, "I bet you thought this was going to be another article about Japanese Chin breed history, grooming techniques, or judging procedures. Since other fanciers have already addressed those topics in the past, I thought it might be fun to share some of the “inner secrets” about our special breed, from my perspective. So, with tongue firmly in cheek, here are some things you should know before acquiring one of these little imps.\n\nJapanese Chin Have no Shame\n\nI remember, 20 years ago while potty training my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Saffy, that I caught her in the act of peeing on the den area rug. In my best scolding voice, I admonished, “Saffy!” and hurried her outside to show her the right place to potty. Poor Saffy looked up at me with those soulful eyes and had a look of torment as if she knew she had let me down and would never do it again.\n\nDon’t count on such luck with a Chin. I’ve caught my Chin peeing on the floor, gleefully trailing toilet tissue through the house, and pulling buttons from my tufted sofa. One of my dogs was so excited after tearing up the toilet tissue that he started running around the house, then scrambled back into the bathroom at full speed and jumped right into the toilet!\n\nWhen catching my Chin acting up, I’d remember my effective training voice previously used with Saffy, and I’d say, “Penny!” or “Dottie” or “Magnus” or… (well, you get the idea) in my most shaming tones. However, on those occasions, my corrections would be met with either a selective deaf ear, a blank stare, or most often, a disgusted look as if to say, “Yes, what do you want? And how dare you\ninterrupt me!” I swear, if Chin had middle fingers, I think they would be flashing them at me regularly.\n\nJust know that there was a dear price to pay to get that photo. You can be assured that for every good photo of my Chin that is published, I have taken 477 bad ones\n\nA Japanese Chin could have made Helmut Newton look like a rank amateur. When photographed well, they are stunning; it’s just getting that elusive great photo that’s the challenge. We’ve all seen photos of a Toy dog proudly posed; head up in the air, tail proudly carried, all four feet in perfect position, and eyes intently surveying the horizon. And, at times, you’ve even seen a Chin in this very pose. Just know that there was a dear price to pay to get that photo. You can be assured that for every good photo of my Chin that is published, I have taken 477 bad ones! A Chin will stack perfectly, then, for no apparent reason, decide to squint right as the shutter closes; despite the clouds covering the sun. Or, the expression will be perfect, but just as the photo is taken they decide to twist their body, and their feet end up being splayed left and right like a ballerina’s.\nWoe to the show photographer who has the challenge of taking a big win photo of a Chin with a co-owner staring over his shoulder saying, “Please take just one more!” He or she is in for a long afternoon!\n\nIt’s been said that every Japanese Chin comes equipped with his or her own personal, invisible pedometer. It numbers the total number of steps a Chin will take on a lead, usually in a ring, in its lifetime. Once it reaches that number, the Chin is done… no more steps to be had. If you’re lucky enough to get more steps after the pedometer expires, they are taken at the Chin’s will, pace, and pattern. Sometimes, mysteriously, the number of steps can be extended… but only if the Chin is given special attention, free from all other interferences. (You know, a Chin does not like sharing your affections!) But, more often than not, every Chin will revert to its wild, unattainable, spirit-animal and will never be captured again.\n\nIf you wear black clothes around a Chin, what was once a sleek shirt or sweater soon becomes covered in soft, white, Chin fur.\n\nA Japanese Chin will soon teach you that your favorite clothing color is white, and that you should only buy leather upholstered furniture. When I acquired my first Chin, I loved wearing black shirts and sweaters, and my den was newly decorated with a lush couch upholstered in the softest of fabrics. Little did I know that my six-pound bundle of joy would not only command my personal attention, but would also direct where thousands of dollars in clothes and furniture purchases were directed. That’s right… Chin don’t want you wearing black, and they view any upholstered piece of furniture as a personal challenge to their ability to shed hair at the speed of light. If you wear black clothes around a Chin, what was once a sleek shirt or sweater soon becomes covered in soft, white, Chin fur. I’ve walked civilian (yes, non-doggy people are referred to as civilians in my home) guests to my front door and been aghast to see the back of their clothes covered in white fur. I’m sure many of them thought I was being awfully hands-y as I repeatedly rubbed their back and shoulders as they left my house, but what I was really doing was desperately trying to remove the Chin hair! And, after years of lint-brushing, vacuuming, wiping, and banging couch cushions outside, I finally gave in and bought a beautiful leather couch. Now all I have to do is wipe or blow the hair off of the cushions onto the floor where my Dyson Animal is waiting to vacuum it all up!\n\nOn a more endearing note, I have never met or owned a breed with a more unusual temperament and manner of expression. How many times have you heard a story of a new mom or dad (of either a human or a puppy) holding their baby for the first time and having those feelings of love at first sight? And so it’s been with other breeds I’ve owned, from German Shepherds to Lhasas to Cavaliers. Each of them joined (or were born into) my household and instantly wrapped my heart around their little paw. Chin, to me, are different. I’ve bought and bred Chin through the years. Every Chin I’ve bought has joined my household and been met with an honest, immediate, love; but, a love that grows in a most unusual way. I don’t find that Chin are typically instant bonders, or are particularly worried about impressing you or pleasing you. They have a quiet confidence, and while they are happy, they don’t give you all of themselves on the first day. As time passes, they become more and more enmeshed in the household and confident in their position, and that is when the real love kicks in. It’s a love borne of routine, trust, understanding, and tenderness. For every bit of those things you give to a Chin, you will begin to see returned tenfold. What was originally a new addition to the family is now a cherished family member with a permanent home.\nI think that’s why you see so few Chin breeders place their older show dogs in pet homes. They are so much a part of the family that they are hard to let go.\n\nArmed with this information, I hope you have a bit of fun insight into our special breed. The next time you see a Japanese Chin, give him or her a loving pat… but don’t wear black!", null, null, null ]

[ null, "WASHINGTON — As its trail of arrests gets closer to U.S. President Donald Trump, the Russia investigation is facing a multi-front assault. The attacks have ramped up following news that Trump’s close confidant Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty and become an informant.\n\nThe president’s defenders are now seeking to poke holes in, and undermine, the investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller. Here are six avenues of attack:\n\n1. Mueller is biased: “It’s so disturbing and troubling,” Trump aide Kellyanne Conway told Fox News on Monday. She was speaking about weekend news that the Mueller probe removed a top investigator over the summer, after the discovery of texts to a lover blasting the president. This is atop reports that the same FBI investigator, Peter Strzok, was a key figure in the emails investigation that yielded no charges against Hillary Clinton. And there’s more: a paper trail of political donations shows several senior probe employees have a history of donating to Democrats. Another report said Strzok was involved in interviewing Flynn. Said Republican lawmaker Ron DeSantis: “It was almost as if they bent over backwards not to make the case on Hillary. With the Mueller probe, they’re just scorching the earth finding whatever little ticky-tack charge they can find on anyone… (Strzok’s role) undercuts the legitimacy of both those investigations.”\n\n2. Presidents can’t be charged for obstructing justice: This is potentially a key question. There’s evidence Trump tried thwarting an investigation into Flynn. The argument here is he’s allowed to. Trump lawyer John Dowd expressed it via the Axios website: “The president cannot obstruct justice.” Harvard scholar Alan Dershowitz says Trump has constitutional power — to pardon Flynn himself, to fire the FBI director, and to issue instructions to the Justice Department. So what’s the legal problem if he orders the FBI to lay off Flynn, Dershowitz asks: “We’d have a constitutional crisis (if Trump is charged with obstruction),” he told Fox News. “You cannot charge a president with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional power.” He says presidents can only be charged with obstruction that involves innately illegal acts — like the Nixon White House destroying evidence and paying hush money. Other legal scholars call this a laughable, quasi-regal, anti-democratic argument. One headline on the Vox website said, “Trump’s lawyer: the president can’t obstruct justice. 13 legal experts (say): yes, he can.” A list of law professors cited legal precedents, and the fact that the president’s power comes from the Constitution — the same Constitution that says he must faithfully execute the law. Peter Shane of Ohio State University called the Dershowitz-Dowd argument “nonsense.”\n\n3. It’s a nothing-burger: They say this investigation is built on a flawed foundation. Mueller’s probe was struck to examine collusion with Russia — during the election. His critics note that four people are now charged — two for financial crimes predating the election, two for lying to the FBI after the election. This view is articulated in a Washington Examiner piece, “Was it all about the Logan Act?” In this narrative, the root of the probe is a dust-gathering, never-used law from 1799, the Logan Act, which forbids people from undermining U.S. foreign policy: Flynn spoke with Russians during the presidential transition; the FBI then questioned him about it; Flynn lied; he and Comey were forced out; Flynn was charged; now he’s a co-operating witness against Trump. A closely related argument involves the notorious Steele dossier — a document filled with jaw-dropping allegations that the Russians spent years recruiting Trump as an asset, and collecting blackmail material on him. The document was gathered by a former British spy and handed to the FBI. But his original customers were Trump campaign opponents. Critics now argue that any evidence stemming from this dossier is illegitimate. Others say this entire line of attack is wishful thinking — there are already several documented communications during the campaign with Russians, or suspected Russian intermediaries like Wikileaks, and some other investigation targets, like Paul Manafort, had reportedly been under surveillance for years.\n\n4. Cut off funding: This is reportedly the route suggested by Steve Bannon. Trump’s ex-staffer, and still-ally, doesn’t want him to fire Mueller. He’s publicly said so. What he’s urging, reports say, is that Congress slash Mueller’s funding. That view is articulated by pro-Trump senator Steve King, who told Politico: “For them to say to us, ‘Vote for an open-ended appropriation into a Mueller witch hunt,’ I think you’ll see significant objection.”\n\n5. Fire Mueller: Canadian friend of Trump Conrad Black suggests how to make this happen. Deriding the investigation as a “never-ending fishing expedition,” Black proposed a chain-reaction of moves, starting with Rex Tillerson’s removed as secretary of state — shift the CIA director to the State Department; appoint to the CIA Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has recused himself from Russia-related matters; have Dershowitz replace Sessions; have Dershowitz kill the probe.\n\n6. Rally the base: Ultimately, politics could decide all of this. Trump’s fate could eventually rest with Congress, given the legal realities — the president’s power to pardon; doubts about whether a sitting president can be charged; and the aforementioned debate about obstruction of justice. Impeachment, the ultimate political punishment, requires a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress. That’s 290 in the House, 67 in the Senate." ]

Kaley Cuoco is not a fan of her husband Karl Cook’s new haircut.\n\nOn Thursday, January 21, the actress, 35, shared a picture of her hubby kissing her on the cheek as she sports a very concerned look. The reason for this worried glare? Cook’s new mullet chop.\n\n“I don’t remember saying ‘in sickness and health oh and mullets,’” she hilariously wrote in the accompanying caption.\n\nFans flooded the comments joking and laughing at the ‘do, including family friend Mavis Spencer. “Saw @mrtankcook and when I asked how he was doing he said ‘still married’ and took his helmet off for a second…,” she commented. “You are a GOOD WOMAN!! ??‍♀️”\n\nMeanwhile, Young Sheldon actress Annie Potts has a solution. “Cut it whilst he sleeps dear… ?”\n\nThe mullet made a big comeback in 2020. It wasn’t just guys like Blake Shelton and Brooks Laich who debuted the look last year, but female A-listers such as Rihanna and Miley Cyrus also rocked a choppy party-in-the-back style.\n\nIn fact, the former Disney Channel star revealed she always knew the mullet would be trendy again. In May Cyrus posted an old video on Instagram of herself talking to a reporter about it. Even though she has her long wavy Hannah Montana hair, she told the journalist, “You know what, it’s kind of, like, getting in again. Like if it’s edgy and spiky, it’s actually kind of cool. I think it’s actually starting to come back.”\n\nShe wrote in the caption, “The mullet is officially back when ‘08 Miley says so….. perioTTTTT.” So there you have it! Even if the Big Bang Theory star doesn’t like her husband’s strands, Cyrus says it’s cool and always will be.\n\nAnother celeb known for sporting a mullet hairstyle is Billie Eilish. However, hers came to be totally by mistake.\n\nWhen attending the LACMA Art + Film Gala in November 2020, the “Bad Guy” singer showed off a mullet version of her rooty green hair. When a TMZ reporter asked her about it later she responded, “You know what happened? Somebody dyed my hair and they burnt half of it off and now it looks like a mullet. That s–t is not on purpose though.”\n\nWe have to admit, we were kinda disappointed to hear it was a mishap. After all, the edgy style totally works with her overall aesthetic. But hey, to each their own!\n\nGingham is back!

[ null, "It gets increasingly difficult for one to assume how uninformed the President of the United States is on the matters of the economy and finances of his own nation. Is he surrounded by ignorant and unqualified individuals or he refuses to believe the advice he is given?\n\nBiden brought about his ambitious Inflation Reduction act recently to control the record-high inflation in 4 decades. He later went on to make claims that the US economy had ‘zero inflation’ in the month of July. This was a sabotaged attempt to announce a zero % rise from previous levels and not net zero rate overall.\n\nUS stocks on Tuesday registered their steepest one-day decline since June 2020. The sudden drop in prices was brought on by the release of US inflation data on Tuesday, which revealed that, in contrast to expectations for a 0.1% drop, the Consumer Price Index increased by 0.1% month-over-month in August.\n\nAnd well the fateful day is marked by a celebration thrown by its very own orchestrator. President Joe Biden was busy partying on the White House lawns on the day the Consumer Price Index report was released and the US stock market took a bad enough hit.\n\nWell, it is getting quite hard to understand what he is actually celebrating. The incumbent President seems to be very happy to have orchestrated a Covid-era-like fall in the nation’s stock markets. He seems to be celebrating the evaporation of billions of dollars of funds from the nation’s market.\n\nInvestor wealth wiped off as Biden plans to increase rates\n\nIt looks like Joe Biden is living in cuckoo land. His administration is refusing to admit that inflation is not the product of only strong demand from the consumer. The black clouds looming over the American economy are in actuality supply driven.\n\nHindered supply routes of many products from a plethora of vital sectors have pushed up prices exponentially. A majority of these disruptions are due to the conflict in Ukraine. Apart from the effect of sanctions, reduced energy supplies have now made it difficult for many exporting nations to facilitate trade.\n\nHowever, the Biden administration, although having enough money to fund the war in Ukraine, seems to be reluctant to invest in the development of infrastructure to solidify trade and decrease inflation the natural way.\n\nRead More: Biden vows to eliminate 11 million jobs in the next two years\n\nOn the other hand, inflation numbers suggest that the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, may hike interest rates for a record fifth time this year, next week.\n\nThe fear of rising rates is the reason that many investors pulled out money as the trust in US-backed stocks deteriorated.\n\nUS Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said Biden and Democrats were “out of touch” on inflation.\n\n“You can’t make it up: Hours after this terrible inflation report, the White House is hosting an ‘inflation reduction’ celebration. Democrats have pushed our economy into disaster and now they’re partying while families pay. They could not look more out of touch if they tried.” tweeted the Republican leader.\n\nIt’s quite obvious that the American populace would take notice of Biden’s ignorant attitude and teach him a lesson in the approaching midterms." ]

[ "At the time of writing, the Sushi token price is near $1 in price, according to Coingecko.", null, "It slipped even below $1 in some crypto exchanges. We previously analyzed why the Sushi token price will drop below $1 soon. This post confirms our analysis for more reasons.\n\nThe tightening regulations on blockchain projects pose great pressure for the industry's future. Just yesterday, the owners of BitMEX, one of the biggest crypto exchanges, were charged with operating an unregistered trading platform Illegally and violating multiple CFTC regulations. The event will have a great negative impact on tokenized blockchain projects, especially those with financial services, as most of them are unregistered.\n\nThe tightening regulations on tokenized blockchain projects are on the rise globally. Earlier last month, the largest and third-largest crypto exchanges in Korea were raided by the police. Bithumb, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, was raided by police on more than one occasion within a week span.\n\nOther popular projects like Binance, EOS, and Bitfinex have also been reported to be suffering from class actions.\n\nDEX token as a new form of ICO project?\n\nMost decentralized exchanges have their native tokens and created lots of \"wealth\" from thin air. It is wise to turn these tokens into real wealth by holding more stable coins like ETH or fiat money. It is also worthy to note that the project is illegal if it is unregistered, even if it is a well-constructed one. For example, Telegram returned $1.2 billion to investors and paid an $18.5 million penalty for SEC charge due to its TON blockchain ICO which investment was led by Softbank’s Vision Fund.\n\nSushi token is the native token of Sushiswap which is a fork of UniSwap. Sushiswap took advantage of UniSwap and the main “innovation” is its native token serving as an incentive for liquidity providers. As UniSwap founder critically said, any competent developer could create SushiSwap in one day. At the time of writing, the identity of the SushiSwap founder remains anonymous.\n\nIn an alleged exit scam, the SushiSwap founder had converted all his Sushi token into Ether (ETH), transferred the project ownership to the FTX CEO, and then mysteriously, on a change of heart, returned back all ETHs. From the price chart, we can conclude that the sushi token holders are still always selling. As the CEO of FTX, the Binance strategic partnership, Sam Bankman-Fried has already made a disclaimer on Twitter, saying \"FTX Services and FTT not available in the United States or prohibited jurisdictions.\"\n\nThe bitcoin and overall crypto market will dip\n\nAlthough democratic congress has passed a $2.2 trillion stimulus plan, it still remains in question whether the Senate will pass the bill as well. Now, with Trump testing positive, the impact of COVID-19 is even greater than we expected. The stock futures plunged immediately after the news spread. Then Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 all opened low and closed lower. As the crypto market is highly correlated to stocks since unlimited QE, the stock market will pull down the bitcoin and overall crypto market. Sushi token is no exception in this downtrend." ]

[ null, "Head Start may be the first Evanston program to access an electric bus.\n\nWith help from Northwestern University students, the nationwide Head Start early childhood education program will acquire its first electric school buses and charging infrastructure in Evanston. Compass Transportation, which provides local transit to the Evanston program, received part of a $4.2 million grant from Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Driving a Cleaner Illinois Program as the result of a proposal generated by student sustainability fellows.\n\nThis marks the first U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Head Start program in the country — which promotes school readiness for young children from low-income families — to be served by an electric bus, a move that could translate to significant health benefits for communities exposed to higher levels of air pollution. The greater Chicago area is one of the top 16 metro regions that would most benefit from electric vehicles.\n\nAccording to the American Lung Association, transitioning to electric buses by 2050 could prevent 6,300 premature deaths; 93,000 asthma attacks; and 416,000 lost workdays, especially in underserved communities of color that are disproportionately impacted by pollution.\n\n“We are thrilled that our students were able to facilitate positive change in the community while gaining hands-on experiential learning,” said Holly Benz, who oversees the fellows and serves as the director of the Master of Science in Energy and Sustainability (MSES) program at Northwestern. “The result is a win for the students and for local residents.”\n\nThe Northwestern Student Sustainability Fellowship began last summer when the University entered a five-year partnership with Ameresco, Inc., a leading clean technology integrator specializing in efficiency and renewable energy. The partnership guaranteed funding toward an annual program that provides a tuition stipend for 16 students each year.\n\nInitiatives like the partnership and fellowships have positioned Northwestern as a leader in sustainability and green energy, exemplified through several EPA ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Awards, an exemplary collegiate sustainability rating, and a new award, granted today through the Department of Education.\n\nThe Green Ribbon Schools Award, announced annually on Earth Day, is presented to schools that reduce environmental impact and costs; improve the health and wellness of schools, students and staff; and provide effective environmental and sustainability education.\n\nThe cross-disciplinary graduate team — coming from backgrounds ranging from oil to chemical manufacturing — showed that electric buses also hold immense opportunity through excess energy stored in batteries that can be deployed for other uses.\n\n“Historically Compass just had a diesel school bus that would just sit there all day,” said J.J. Sarsfield, a sustainability fellow and MSES student. “School buses are the optimal vehicles to do vehicle-to-grid because they have bigger batteries, are used so infrequently and as more people adopt them, they can generate more revenue.”\n\nTypical electric passenger vehicle battery storage ranges between 20 to 100 kWh. The battery capacity of a typical electric school bus, however, is significantly larger — about 210 kWh — equivalent to the amount of energy needed to power seven homes in the Evanston area for a full day. Since school buses are only used approximately 10% of the year, they are a huge source of untapped energy. Using excess energy from electric school buses would increase the reliability of the local power grid, which is rated as one of the top issues for nationwide electric infrastructure.\n\nNorthwestern supports a cleaner and more resilient power grid in its operations as well. Enabled by a 15-year partnership between the University and Clearway Energy, one of the largest developers of clean energy in the U.S., Northwestern’s long-term commitment will enable the development and construction of 16 community solar projects across seven Illinois counties. The projects generate clean renewable energy for the surrounding communities and bring green jobs to the Chicagoland area. Once completed, power generated from Clearway’s project portfolio will be equivalent to removing 12,000 cars from the road each year.\n\nThe team hit a wall only when they bumped into existing policies and regulations — but saw that things were moving in the right direction. For now, said Sarsfield, they’re focused on deploying pilots to demonstrate vehicle-to-grid capabilities, like in the bus they’ll introduce soon in Evanston.\n\nWhile Head Start may be the first Evanston program to access a bus — and the first Head Start program in the country to access a bus — they likely won’t be the last in either category. Projects that both master’s students and fellows are working on will continue to bolster laws and infrastructure changes that benefit the city of Evanston in the long term.\n\n“We believe that in this field, tactical, on-the-job experience is critical,” Benz said. “We’ve been very intentional about what we want to teach the students, and the practicum is vital to bringing this to life in an applied way.”\n\nThis spring, students will work on projects, including iron-based long duration storage and workforce development with the City Colleges of Chicago, innovative waste management for Northbrook, Ill., carbon farming and biodiversity in the Midwest, and small-scale nuclear energy." ]

[ null, "20 Years International Prize of the Peace of Westphalia: At the anniversary in Münster on Saturday, whole countries were awarded for the first time with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.\n\nThe three Baltic states share the 100,000 Euro prize with the Pathfinders who received this year’s Youth Prize. The Peace Prize is awarded every two years by the Economic Society for Westphalia and Lippe (WWL) in the historic town hall of Münster – based on the end of the Thirty Years’ War in 1648, which went down in history as the “Peace of Westphalia”.\n\nSince German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier presented the bronze sculptures of the Westphalian horse to Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid, Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė and Latvian President Raimonds Vējonis at noon, the populations of all three states can also feel that they have won the Peace Prize. In his laudation, Steinmeier praised “the performance of people in the Baltic States to look the past in the face without letting themselves be captivated”. The Federal President addressed himself directly to the Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians: “We are grateful that you and your countries are not only keeping the memory of the injustice, but are prepared to reconcile with us Germans.\n\nIn their thank-you speeches, the three heads of state expressed their unity on Europe, peace and reconciliation. Dalia Grybauskaitė, Lithuanian President, praised the role of the Germans: “Germany is investing a lot in Europe’s future”, she explained, “We stand by its side. Latvian President Raimonds Vējonis warned that “whenever Europe was divided and torn, it caused suffering”. “Europe has a future only if it is united,” he underlined. “The times of peace are times when peace must be built instead of resting on it,” said Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid.\n\nIn his laudation, Laschet praised the scouts as “role models who embody the ideals of a peaceful, tolerant world”. The Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia emphasized that it is more important today than ever to stand up for each other and look after each other. “Once a scout, always a scout: That is a good motto”, which should apply to all of us, says Armin Laschet.\nThe International Peace of Westphalia Prize, which has been awarded since 1998, has already gone to Václav Havel, Helmut Kohl, Carla del Ponte, Kurt Masur, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Kofi Annan, Daniel Barenboim, Helmut Schmidt, the crews of the ISS space station and the Jordanian King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein. Together with personalities or representatives of states that have become role models for peace work in Europe and the world, young people are also always honoured whose actions have set an example for political, social and ecological reconciliation and thus for peace in the world. Most recently, the Aktion Sühnezeichen Friedensdienste and the youth work of the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e. V. were honoured here." ]

His narrative is laced with the experiences of participants and onlookers and introduces the men and women who, for better or worse, stamped their wills on Africa. The continent was a magnet for the high-minded, the philanthropic, the unscrupulous and the insane. Visionary pro-consuls rubbed shoulders with missionaries, explorers, soldiers, adventurers, engineers, big-game hunters, entrepreneurs and physicians. Between 1830 and 1945, Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Italy and the United States exported their languages, laws, culture, religions, scientific and technical knowledge and economic systems to Africa. The colonial powers imposed administrations designed to bring stability and peace to a continent that seemed to lack both. The justification for occupation was emancipation from slavery - and the common assumption that late nineteenth-century Europe was the summit of civilization. By 1945 a transformed continent was preparing to take charge of its own affairs, a process of decolonization that took a mere twenty or so years. There remained areas where European influence was limited (Liberia, Abyssinia) - through inertia and a desire for a quiet time, Africa's new masters left much undisturbed. This magnificent history also pauses to ask: what did not happen and why?", null ]

[ "Before the New Year, in the American magazine Newsweek, journalist Jason Lemon scared readers with Bandera, Petliura and the blossoming of ultranationalism in Ukraine.", null, null, "Jason Lemon is a journalist at the American magazine Newsweek. Previously, he wrote for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on topics of health, science and the environment. But now, Mr. Lemon writes about politics in the \"World\" section of Newsweek.\n\nOn December 27, he published a text titled \"Ukraine Makes Birthday of Nazi Collaborator a National Holiday and Bans Book Critical of Anti-Semitic Leader\".\n\nInstead of an objective coverage of the situation in Ukraine, Mr. Lemon's article contains Soviet and Russian propaganda clichés. And it violates number of journalistic standards.\n\n\"Ukraine’s parliament has officially designated the birthday of a prominent Nazi collaborator as a national holiday\",Mr. Lemon writes. But in fact there is no \"national holiday\". The author violated the journalistic standard of accuracy of information.\n\nSecondly, if Mr. Lemon calls Bandera a Nazi collaborator, then France and Norway, and Sweden, and Croatia, and Romania, and Slovakia, and Hungary \"collaborated\" in those years too. The Soviet Union also collaborated with Nazi Germany during 1939-1941.\n\nMr. Lemon occasionally recalls that Bandera collaborated with the Nazis to create the Ukrainian state. It was proclaimed on June 30, 1941, after which Stepan Bandera was thrown by the Third Reich into a concentration camp, and his three brothers were killed by the Nazis.\n\nThere has been written a lot about Bandera and the Jewish question. For example, Volodymyr Kovalchuk of the Institute of Archeography and Source Studies points out: \"If one finds at least one document in which Bandera gives orders to destroy the Jews, this would be a huge discovery for historians.\" But obviously they are no such documents.\n\nThe text by the journalist Jason Lemon does not include a single comment from an expert from Ukraine, which is a violation of the journalistic standard of balance of opinion. Instead, the position of Israel is repeatedly mentioned.\n\nThis is probably because the Newsweek journalist was very inspired by the text of Cnaan Liphshiz, which appeared several hours earlier that day at JTA.\n\nJason Lemon continues: In December 2018, a book by Swedish historian Anders Rydell Book of Thieves was also banned in Ukraine. \"The book critically analyzed the actions of Ukrainian nationalist Symon Petliura, whose forces killed large numbers of Jews in the early 20th century,\" the journalist writes.\n\nThe State Committee on Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine then explained the prohibition by the fact that in this book \"the author repeats the widespread by Russian propaganda fabrications about the leaders of the Ukrainian People's Republic.\"\n\nFor example, the Swedish author quotes the words of the murderer of Symon Petliura, the head of the Directorate of the UNR, Samuel Schwartzbard who is associated with the Soviet secret service OGPU - Joint State Political Directorate. Also, KGB agent Peter Deriabin called this assassination a special operation of the GRU.\n\nSchwartzbard put seven bullets into Petliura on a street of Paris. The offender told the court that he had done this because allegedly 14 members of his family were killed under Petliura. Although during the arrest, he said that he had only \"heard of the terrible pogroms that his fellow believers had suffered under Petliura's government.\" More on how a person who publicly killed Petliura was found not guilty at the trial by the French jurors can be read in the material by Alla Lazareva \"Petliura in Paris. On the 85th anniversary of shots on the Rue Racine.\"\n\nRecently declassified document from 1921 shows in black and white that Petliura, by contrast, tried to stop the wave of anti-Jewish pogroms. His signature bears the document stating: \"As the Chief Otaman of the Ukrainian Army, I order you: to punish mercilessly Bolshevik Communists and other criminals, making pogroms and destroying the Jewish population, and all to a man to stand in defense of the poor and exhausted population and to deal with the bandits immediately through your military courts.\"\n\nProfessor of the National University of Ostroh Academy Petro Kraliuk states that anti-Semitic sentiments were stirred up already in the times of the tsarist Russia. Under the conditions of political changes in the years 1917-1920, they also became widespread in Ukraine, but Ukrainian state institutions tried to resist them. In addition, the UNR led by Petliura did not fully control this territory where other military formations such as the White Guardsmen also acted.\n\nThat is, \"Petliura's forces that killed large numbers of Jews\" is a myth of the Soviet Union's time. That is why the book was banned by the State Committee on Television and Radio Broadcasting.\n\nLacking only the FSB point of view\n\nBandera and Petliura are not enough? On December 17, Ukraine also voted against the UN resolution on combating glorification of Nazism and neo-Nazism! The source of this information for Jason Lemon was the central Russian State News Agency TASS.\n\nMr. Lemon only mentions that Ukraine and the United States (!) voted against this resolution, and that it was backed by 129 countries. However, he fails to mention that 44 countries abstained from voting. Most of them are European countries.", null, "The countries that voted for the draft resolution by Russia on November 15, 2018 (colored green), against it (colored red) and abstained from voting (colored yellow). Source: reddit.com\n\nMr. Lemon simply repeated by this passage the messages of Russian propaganda. The guise under which the Russian media presented this \"victory\" is identical to the text of the Newsweek's journalist. You can check this out by reviewing news on other Kremlin websites: \"RIA Novosti\", RT, Regnum, \"Pervyi Kanal\" etc.\n\nThe journalist gives only one quotation concerning this vote; it is of the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Nikolay Patrushev.\n\nNo, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. In the fifth year of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, after the occupation of the Crimea, the support of militants in the Donbas, an open attack in the Kerch Strait, Jason Lemon, in his text on Ukraine's voting in the United Nations, quotes a general of the Russian Army.\n\n\"The decision of the United States and Ukraine to vote against the resolution initiated by Russia is within the strategy of these countries for the use of neo-Nazi and ultra-right forces in their political interests,\" says Nikolai Patrushev, ex-director of the FSB of Russia. And for Mr. Lemon, this is a very valuable piece of information that readers should be told of.\n\nAlthough, it seems, he was not interested at all, why suddenly the US, Ukraine and almost all of Europe did not vote for this resolution. If he were interested, he would discover for himself that the document has been adopted every year since 2005. Ukraine and the US have been voting against it on a regular basis over recent years. There are meeting records on of the discussion on this resolution on the UN website. They are in English and, if desired, Mr. Lemon could read them. But he did not do this and thereby he violated the standards of completeness and balance of information.\n\nIt is an annual power play by one country [Russia] attempting to exert influence over a region without genuine efforts to actually combat Nazism. And instead it is seeking to criminalize free speech and expression,\" stated the representative of the US to the UN.\n\nVolodymyr Yelchenko, representative of Ukraine to the UN, reminded of the huge contribution of millions of Ukrainians in defeating Nazism. He once again confirmed that Ukraine condemns Nazism, racism, xenophobia, and stressed that the resolution has nothing to do with Nazism and other forms of intolerance. Yelchenko condemned the cynical attempt of the Russian Federation to present itself as a supporter of the struggle against Nazism and neo-Nazism, while simultaneously committing crimes against other nations. Referring to the propaganda motives of the resolution, he called on all delegations to vote against it.\n\nWhy the West does not support this resolution, explained in detail professor of European Constitutional Law at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands Dimitry Kochenov in an interview to BBC in 2016 (!).\n\n\"European countries will never support such an international document, because it is absolutely natural that Nazism and similar ideas are purely subjective. It means that who is to be considered a Nazi, who is to be called a Fascist depends, as a rule, on the speaker's point of view... The introduction of any prohibitions on the active discussion of such ideas into international law will in fact be a ban on historical research in this area,\" he said.\n\nJason Lemon, after a quote from the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, went on to outline the situation in Ukraine with \"broad-brush terms.\"\n\n\"Human rights activists have raised serious concerns about the rise of neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine, particularly since Russian-backed separatist rebels took control of sizable portions of the country in 2014. The conflict has led to an increase in anti-Russian sentiments and ultranationalist feelings. Some of the nationalists have turned to neo-Nazi ideology as well,\" he wrote.\n\nThe question arises: Who are all the people that the author refers to? Who are those \"concerned\" human rights activists? Where did the journalist learn about the \"increase in ultranationalist feelings\"? Similar generalizations are a violation of the journalistic standard of reliability. Recently, Euronews journalist Damon Embling has also used such manipulation when he has told about the introduction of martial law state in Ukraine.\n\nIn support of his judgments, the Newsweek journalist provides a text of a human rights defenders petition to Israeli court requesting the cessation of arms exports from Israel to Ukraine, which was published in the Haaretz newspaper. The weapon allegedly \"falls into the hands of neo-Nazis\". Although in the same material the Haaretz noted that the petition was turned down by the Ministry of Defense of Israel.\n\nMr. Lemon also provides a quote by Freedom House's Ukraine project director Matthew Schaaf, who said that \"numerous organized radical right-wing groups exist in Ukraine.\"The conclusions of a report by this organization state: \"Far-right radicals and extremists at present can claim neither significant parliamentary representation nor any plausible path to power in Ukraine. However, their street activities are having a serious impact on everyday life and societal development in the country.\"\n\nLet us go over to the data. Kyiv International Institute of Sociology conducted a survey in September 2018. It discovered that after the annexation of the Crimea and the war on the Donbas from 2014 to 2018, the level of xenophobia increased slightly, but later returned to the level of 2011.\n\nAnother survey called \"Tolerance or intolerance. The sociological view\" was held in December 2018 and showed that 73% of Ukrainians surveyed dislike the torchlight procession of nationalists. The photo of this procession is presented in the Newsweek material as if confirming the growth of \"ultranationalistic feelings\" in Ukraine.\n\nUkraine as a center of right-wing radicalism is a myth of Russian propaganda. During the war, no ultra-right party came to the Verkhovna Rada, although in many European parliaments such parties were represented.\n\nHere is another surveyby the American organization Pew Research Center. According to its data, Ukraine has the lowest level of anti-Semitism in Central and Eastern Europe.", null, "Percentage of the adult population who answered that they would not want to have Jews as fellow citizens of their country.

[ "In Ancient Egypt Isis was the South and Nephthys the North. - María Rosa Valdesogo\n\n\nIn Ancient Egypt Isis was the South and Nephthys the North.\n\nIn Ancient Egypt the Legend of Osiris was so important that it was integrated into the solar theology. As a result Isis and Nephthys, the two mourners of Osiris, became an essential part of some solar iconography, so both from the New Kingdom were depicted flanking the solar disk in its daily rebirth.\n\nIt also had an effect in the holy conception of geography in Ancient Egypt. If the rising sun occupied the east and the sunset the west, the two mourning goddesses had to be also located somewhere, so they had to have also a geographical assignation: north and south. At that point the titles of the two goddesses are quite explicit. In Ancient Egypt, Isis was “The One of the South” and Nephthys “The One of the North”.\n\nThese two points, the geographical relationship of Isis and Nephthys with south and north respectively and the involvement in the solar cosmogony, has also its expression in the art of Ancient Egypt.", null, "Book of the Dead of Nespakashuty. XXI Dynasty. Photo: www.louvre.fr\n\nFor instance, in the Book of the Dead of Nespakashuty (XXI Dynasty) the ancient Egyptian artist joined the two conceptions introducing some changes in the typical osiriac scene of Osiris seated in his throne and behind him the two standing goddesses Isis and Nephthys.\n\nOn one hand, the artist of Nespakashuty drew the solar god Ra-Horakhty, “Horus of the Two Horizons” (a combination of both deities, which formed a god of the rising sun, so the east) on the throne instead Osiris. On the other hand, behind him the two goddesses (the two mourners) were not identified as “Isis” and “Nephthys”, but as “The One of the South” and “The One of the North”.\n\nIt seems that here the ancient Egyptian artist pretended, not only to unite both, osiriac and solar, traditions, but also to allude to the geographical references of a typical funerary scene." ]

I started with 5 at the back to move him into cdm at the start of the game and he did a great job for me.\n\nPace: I played him with a shadow so his pace was on 92. He definitely didn't feel slow and won many races, but from time to time I noticed his base speed being relatively low.\n\nShooting: His shooting stats look unreal and really made me want to try this card. His finishing inside the box felt okay/good, but I really noticed it being \"only\" 85, so he did miss some easy goals. His shooting from outside of the box was very decent and this guys secured me some amazing last minute screamers.\n\nPassing: His passing was nothing special to me. His short passing is on 90 and it was very solid, I didn't have the feeling of a Messi or Pirlo when building up a game with him, but he was very solid.\n\nDribbling: I didn't expect a lot from his dribbling and especially from his agility, but he really surprised me in that regard. His reaction and composure were great, but on the ball he didn't feel that great with his dribbling stat being only 80.\n\nDefending: His defending was very good. He intercepted a lot of passes and basically won every tackle (in good gameplay). With the shadow chem style all of his important def stats are 99 and you definitely notice that. This guys will provide you with some solid defensive controll, however his height isn't the best for a cdm (imo), which eventually will result in some missed interceptions.\n\nPhysicality: His physicality felt good, but not special. He neither has the best physicality stats, nor the body type to really convince in that regard.\n\nAll in all I really enjoyed this card as my offensive cdm, however, I eventually decided to sell him. I felt like there was just something missing in this card and he didn't have this \"op feeling\" such as a De Jong toty, Vieira, Gullit or those top tier cdms have. Compared to other options with the same price, though, I can really recommend him. He was fun to use and decided some games with important and beautiful goals. If you're looking for a solid defensive player who can control the game with his presence and shooting, Koeman is a really good choice for you.\n\nSo it’s late August, the games in its final throws & I’ve been experimenting with various CB’s to try and balance my back line. Over the past few weeks I’ve used TOTSSF Ramos, Upemecano. Robertson (LB), Varane & UCL showdown Alaba along with PIM Maldini, Nesta & Campbell- all with varying degrees of success. This card was not really on my Radar, until it dropped from a PIM SBC, so i decided to give him a try in weekend league s i was fed up of Upemecano having to be subbed due to stamina in tight games.\n\nFirstly- this is not your primary defender card. If he’s last man & most end game strikers are past you- you’re in deep trouble. He needs to be partnered with a last man defensive rock like Ramos or Van Dijk to get the best out of him.\n\nSo sounds pretty worthless yes? Wrong- you just have to alter your play style. Where this card excels is quite unique- shoulder to shoulder with an attacker- your coming away with the ball. He’s done multiple times against TOTSSF Ben Yedder, Benzema & PIM Pele- He buzzes around other CB’s sweeping lost balls & then is comfortable playing the ball out with his incredibly high passing & dribbling.\n\nhe feels like a high end CDM but the security of a CB. Particulary in the box, he relieves pressure from rebounds & runners with the skill base to really initiate unexpected counters from runs & crossfield passes.\n\nWhere this card really shines is offensively- he’s continuously making darting runs down the Center of the pitch, dispossesing opponents- intercepting in the channels then laying off. Multiple times I’ve found him pushing into the final third. Yes, a few times I’ve fought out at the back with him but it’s feels like I have an extra CDM & my possession stats have rocketed as a result. he’s also incredible at set pieces, Particularky long range free kicks- I’ve already scored a few far post 30 yarders with him. Just ensure he doesn’t default to corners- whilst great, if the opponent counters even with shadow he doesn’t have the pace to make it back.\n\ni’ve finally settled on him & Ramos as my CB pairing- I’m conceding a few more against the best opponents in 1:1 scenarios- but the pay off in possession, pressure release in crowded penalty boxes & initiating counters is truly worth it. This is is the CB for those who don’t mind conceding so long as they score more than the opponent." ]

[ null, "It’s a good day for actors associated with “Saturday Night Live,” both past and present. The NBC sketch series earned 21 Emmy nominations this morning, including a whopping nine citations for acting. Nominated cast members for 2018 include Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Aidy Bryant and Kenan Thompson, on top of recurring guest Alec Baldwin and guest hosts Donald Glover, Tina Fey, Tiffany Haddish and Bill Hader. The love for “SNL” extends beyond the current cast, though, as there are many alums who have since moved on to other projects that were also nominated this year.\n\nFormer staff members recognized in the 2018 Emmy nominations include Fey for producing “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” Hader for starring in, directing, writing and producing “Barry,” Larry David for starring in “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Maya Rudolph and Molly Shannon for their respective guest spots on “The Good Place” and “Will & Grace,” Seth Meyers for writing his late night show, Jimmy Fallon for producing his short form variety series, and John Mulaney and Martin Short for writing their variety specials. It seems that more than ever there is major respect for “SNL” even as its cast and writing staff move on to bigger and better things.\n\nThese are the first acting nominations for Thompson and Bryant, who have been on the series since 2003 and 2012, respectively. Thompson’s nomination is most noteworthy, considering he is now the longest tenured cast member in “SNL” history at 15 years. Now known as the elder statesman of the cast, this is most certainly an overdue nomination, despite technically earning his first bid last year in Best Original Music & Lyrics for co-writing the song “Last Christmas.” As for Bryant, she was also previously nominated for writing an “SNL” song in 2014, but as an actress she has been on the rise, having branched out to other roles in film and television. Thompson is nominated for Best Comedy Supporting Actor with Baldwin, last year’s winner, while Bryant is nominated alongside McKinnon and Jones in the Best Comedy Supporting Actress category, where McKinnon has won two years running; Jones was also nominated last year.\n\nSEE Ready the trolley! Ted Danson and Maya Rudolph put ‘The Good Place’ on the map with two Emmy nominations\n\n“Saturday Night Live” is the favorite to win Best Variety Sketch Series again this year, considering the show has more nominations than its five competitors (“At Home with Amy Sedaris,” “Drunk History,” “I Love You, America,” “Portlandia” and “Tracey Ullman’s Show”) combined. While “SNL” may have dipped slightly in buzz and headline-making stories compared to last season’s highs, the Emmys have certainly not fallen out of love with the show. It may be no coincidence that this year’s hosts are the show’s Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che, while the ceremony will be produced by the boss himself, Lorne Michaels." ]

[ "Manic Monday: I Knew There Wasn't a Garbage Disposal in My Kitchen for a Reason.", null, "Well you better believe it. Last night, I of all people, got to see one of the first showings ever of a movie. What does this mean exactly? Was I one of the few people that didn't have a blossoming social life and was able to attend such an event? Pssssssh hardly. I personally like to think that, well, that I was just in the right place at the right time. Being invited to such an event is quite terrifying for more than one reason. On the one hand you could be sat down to watch the next big thrill in horror movie history. On the other, you could be sat down as a joke and be forced to watch some grotesque form of pornography involving rabbits and albino midgets. Don't ask. Luckily for me, and all of you, this was actually amazing. Think Paranormal Activity proportions well before the hype monster stole it's thunder.\n\n\nManic Monday follows the story of the Gamble family, a seemingly normal middle class family who like most of us hiding a little something in their closet. Board games of course! We all have them. Anyways, the daughter one day accidentally opens a portal to hell while playing with the Ouija Board, and it's up to her parents to save her and well... the rest of humanity as well. Hmm perhaps it's better going into this without knowing every bit and detail about the plot so I'll just stop there. It may sound outrageous but believe it or not it's a plot that completely works.\nI've found myself as of late, being a bit jaded by everything that I've been seeing, but Manic Monday has re-instilled my faith. This movie was for lack of a better word--incredible. The fear and terror is something that kind of starts early on but in such a subtle way that you almost forget it's scratching and ready to come out. By the time that climax kicks in, you better hold onto those sodas. And I'm not just saying that because I did actually drop my soda (my hand was slippery from the butter on my popcorn.....or NOT because I won't spoil which part but it literally made me flip a shit and hence drop my soda..which was both depressing and embarrassing at the same time) Anyways. As you all know I am a firm hater of movies that rely entirely on jump scares. Manic Monday however has broken that mold. The horror that you feel and the fear that you feel is so real and so genuine, that it almost feels surreal. I honestly cannot remember ever feeling this scared while watching a movie.\nOne thing that really stood out was this enigmatic character of Ezekiel Smit, the Gamble's neighbor. He seemed like a crazy hybrid of the Tall Man, the scary skinny thing in REC and Al Pacino. Don't ask, just trust me. His performance literally made me wince sideways at the screen which you know means I was so disgusted and terrified of him that I hoped turning my face away would hopefully save me from his wrath. The other performances are great but Tom Huston as Smit really stood out to me.\nNotable moments that I hope will entice you are- the sudden and unforgettable appearance of Dick Miller so what if it was just a picture of him (it elicited an actual \"ooooh!\" from me. Again, I embarrassed myself a lot during this screening and I'm proud of it), the garbage disposal scene which I owe my post title to(Freaking RIDICULOUS. In a good way of course) that even includes the so strange it works addition of Aerosmith's Dream On in the background and last but certainly not least the showdown at the end.", null, "I'm trying not to give too much away here because I'm really worried that this film will meet the same fate as Paranormal Activity. But since Manic Monday does not contain an annoying couple with a strange excess of money and an excess of night vision camera work, I think Manic Monday will be okay.\nAs we were told at the beginning, the studio is trying to keep an extremely tight lid on this, so there is little to know or find out about when using the Internet. We were given stills, and a short press release while the rest was left to us. I'm not sure how widely this will be distributed, but my guess is very narrowly. If you do see this playing somewhere near you please do yourself a favor and check it out immediately. Words can express how terrified, excited, exhilarated and just pumped I was upon exiting the theater. There are more terrifying moments than you can count and for once it's not about the sound effects or jump scares. This is pure and un-tampered with terror. Horror fans will be floored by the film's ability to create subtle homages to favorites like Hellraiser and Poltergeist without ruining or stealing those film's legacies. Each little homage is just that, a homage, and the film takes it and makes each and every moment it's own. This film is not to be missed, so catch it if you can..!\nPosted by Andre Dumas at 9:00 AM\n\nGlad you enjoyed it as well - if this ever goes into wide release, people are going be lining up for blocks to see it!\n\nSorry about the spoilers there. I didn't realize that cameo was supposed to be a secret. Amazing film though." ]

[ "Following my recent trip to Be Fit London, I continue to be interested in the link many people made between health/fitness and the gluten-free diet, so I was delighted to be asked by my local Sweaty Betty team to write a blog about gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, barley & oats) to mark Coeliac Awareness Week.\n\nUp to 30% of people are believed to be cutting down on the gluten in their diet, but with only an estimated 1% suffering from coeliac disease, with many of those undiagnosed, what is the truth behind some of the common reasons that are leading people to try a gluten free diet?\n\nGluten is bad for you\n\nThis poor protein gets a bad wrap. If you are one of the 1% that suffers from coeliac disease, then yes, the gluten proteins cause an autoimmune reaction in your body that causes damage to your gut, and a variety of symptoms including headaches, stomach pain, diarrhoea and lethargy; over time the resultant gut damage can lead to malnutrition, osteoporosis and potentially cancer. Pretty serious stuff!", null, "But beyond this, research into ‘gluten intolerance’ or ‘non coeliac gluten sensitivity’ (NCGS) has so far not shown that gluten is to blame for the IBS like symptoms that many other people report to experience when they eat gluten containing foods.[1] Many high street ‘food intolerance’ or alternative practitioners ‘food sensitivity’ tests which point the finger at gluten have also been widely discredited.[2] So why are so many people convinced that gluteny foods cause them problems?\n\nThe latest thinking points to so-called ‘FODMAPs’ – types of carbohydrate (found in wheat amongst other foods) that are poorly absorbed by the gut, but this is a very new area of research and much is unknown.\n\nEither way, the important thing if you think you have problems with gluten, is to NOT remove it from your diet, and to ask your GP for a blood test for coeliac first – it won’t be accurate if you don’t have gluten in your diet when it’s done. Diagnosed coeliacs receive support in making the transition to a gluten free diet from a registered dietitian.\n\nA gluten free diet can help you lose weight\n\nIf you replace the gluten-filled bread, cakes, pizza and pasta with fruit and vegetables, perhaps! The weight loss reported by many trying out a gluten free diet is often related to it being a naturally low in carbohydrates, rather than because of the gluten itself.\n\nBut if you replace them with gluten-free bread, cakes, pizza and pasta; then I’m afraid not. In fact, most coeliacs put on weight when they go gluten free! Gluten free alternative products are just as filled with carbohydrates, sugars and fats (if not more so) which leads me on to…", null, "No gluten, plenty of calories!\n\nThe manufacturers of gluten free loaves may like you to believe they are healthier, but slice for slice they usually contain double the fat and about 50% more calories[3]. Extra sugar, colourings and preservatives are usually added to replicate the ‘gluteny’ texture, improve the flavour and shelf life – not exactly the nutritional profile of a health product!\n\nA naturally gluten free diet (based on meat, fish, plenty of fruit and vegetables, and gluten free whole grains like rice, buckwheat, uncontaminated oats and quinoa), however, can be very healthy. It’s advisable to get advice from a professional dietitian before undertaking it though, as unguided you risk missing out on a number of key nutrients including calcium, and you must pay close attention to getting enough fibre.\n\nThe lethargy and inability to absorb key nutrients that comes with coeliac disease is unlikely to help athletes (and us amateur gym-enthusiasts!) perform at their best, so recovering coeliacs may well see a resultant improvement in their performance when they go gluten free; assuming they pay adequate attention to their wider nutritional needs. Sadly, though, despite some clever marketing and sponsorship arrangements between gluten free brands and sports teams/personalities, the same is unlikely to be true for everyone else. The evidence at best, is anecdotal.\n\nAnd for every anecdote, there is a counter anecdote. The sports ‘poster boy’ for gluten free is perhaps Novak Djokovic, however his reasons and rationale for going gluten free have been roundly critiqued; not least by other Wimbledon winner, Andy Murray who also dabbled in the gluten free diet: “I tried it for a couple of months and felt awful. I lost all my energy and felt so weak. I didn’t feel it helped me at all, so I just went back to do doing what I did before. It was working fine for me, so I haven’t changed that too much since.”\n\nBut let’s give the last word to Rafa Nadal: “Now, it seems like the gluten-free diet is great. After three years or four years, we will find another thing that will be great too. Then the gluten-free will not work anymore.”\n\n11th-17th May is Coeliac Awareness Week. Whilst awareness of coeliac disease and the gluten free diet are higher than ever before, there is still a way to go to find the estimated 500 000 people undiagnosed in the UK. If you or someone you know experiences symptoms when you eat gluten containing foods, speak to your GP. Coeliac UK have also created an online assessment: http://www.isitcoeliacdisease.org.uk/", null ]

The Party’s task, as formulated by General Secretary Jerry Tung, was to reach out to all who would listen, and proceeding from a spirit of uniting with them around this question, to struggle to ’ provide direction and organization for all who were being drawn into the struggle. Within thirty days of November 3rd, the CWP began a national tour of the widows of the CWP 5, Party speakers like Central Committee member Philip Thompson, and prominent friends.

[ "I am currently working on OMRON pick-and-place robots. Basically, the overall layout of the system is similar to what is shown in the following picture:\n\nThe system has a rotary encoder that reflects the conveyor belt motion.\n\nThe calibration can simply be completed after teaching 3 points on the belt as shown in the following image:\n\nThe steps are as follows:\n\nAfter I followed these steps for a test robot in hand, I got the following quantities:\n\nLet b = [bx by bz] be a belt point. Since the belt motion is having a magnitude along the x direction, then the scale factor in units of mm/pulses can be calculated by:\n\nAlong with this scale that we get during calibration, we need to calculate all members of the transformation matrix T which relates belt coordinates with robot coordinates. This has the rotation matrix R and translation matrix D. $$ p=Tb = \\begin{bmatrix}& R & & D\\\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\end{bmatrix}b $$\n\nSince b always has one component along the x axis of the belt, then the coordinate of the first calibration point with respect to belt coordinate is (Belt did not move yet): $$ b_1 = \\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\\\ 0\\\\ 0\\\\ 1 \\end{bmatrix} $$\n\nand the coordinate of the second calibration point with respect to belt coordinate is (Belt moved from P1 to P2):\n\nTherefore, from P1 calibration, we have:\n\nAs seen, the first column and 4th conform with the results that we got. However, I am not really sure what the mathematical way to follow using the third calibration point to calculate the rest of the transformation matrix that I have. How would I be able to calculate r12, r22, r32, r13, r23 and r33?\n\nI have tried your equations to find P4 for a sample coordinate that I got from the Google Sketchup 3D Designer, however I am getting big illogical values a and b and consequently for its x, y and z. I created a Google sheet which contains the design with assigned values of each point and I also implemented your equations in it to calculate a, b, and P4 as well as $\\vec v_1 = P_3 - P_4$ and $\\vec v_2 = P_1 - P_4$. Here is the link for this sheet that I shared and can be publicly edited:\n\nWhy I Need to Know This in The First Place!\n\nI am an experienced software engineer with robotics and control engineering qualification. I am planning to program 3D models and create a simulation platform and solve a problem in hand for the robotics world. Clear understanding of this field in mathematics is required.\n\nA general approach would be to construct a so called axis-angle representation and convert that to a rotation matrix representation.\n\nOn order to do so, one could start with a normal vector of the triangle.\n\nLet's take the $P_1P_2$ line and construct the perpendicular of the triangle from $P_3$ to $P_1P_2$. Let's call $P_4$ the point where the perpendicular intersects $P_1P_2$ .Based on this answer the coordinates of this point can be found as:\n\nApplied to the coordinates described in the attached google sheet file the triangle (in blue) and the perpendicular in red is presented in the following figure:", null, "We can now construct 2 perpendicular vectors, in the $P_1P_2P_3$ plane which share their origin in $P_4$\n\nThe cross product of these two vectors will be the normal of the $P_1P_2P_3$ plane.\n\nPlease note that $\\vec v_2$ has been chosen as $\\vec x_n$ based on the additional information in the question, that $P_1P_2$ is parallel to the $X$ axis of the belt/rectangle frame.\n\nNot the answer you're looking for?

The poem is created by first announcing in the program a series of lists of words, which are then returned randomly in an order determined by the type of list they are in and displayed in phrases that create a poem. “Taroko Gorge” is what N.

One iteration of the poem could be printed and distributed as print, but the intention of the piece would be lost.\nThe piece is a straight forward example of combinatory poetics. Scott Rettberg describes combinatory poetics as programs that “access and present data… and then through algorithmic processes, modify or substitute the data.” “Taroko Gorge” uses Javascript create lists of data, words in the poem, and select and present them randomly to form a poem. This is a similar process to the recipe for a Dadaist poem Tristan Tzara describes, cutting words out of a newspaper and gluing them down randomly as you draw them from a mixed bag. Combinatory poetics uses computer programming languages to create Dadaist poems instantly." ]

Of that, a majority of the increase ($4 billion) was due to increasing debt levels while higher interest rates accounted for $2.2 billion of the increase.\n\nAgain, figure 4 shows these changes over time. Rising debt levels have steadily pushed interest expense higher. Over the six years, the impact from higher debt level has been small on an annual basis (less than $1 billion annually) but has been consistently pushing the expense higher.", null, "While higher interest rates seem to receive much of the attention and blame for higher farm interest expense, higher levels of debt are also a factor. In recent years, these two factors have contributed to changes in interest expense differently.\n\nWhile the Federal Reserve recently announced no plans for rate hikes in 2019, this does not mean agriculture is out of the woods. Creditworthiness and total debt will continue to be factors in 2019 and beyond." ]

I currently have no proof of this so I’ll just include one I found of OBJ.

Radim Vrbata proved why anyone that can truly sync with the Twins will be succesful; this is the blue collar guys turn. No more Kesler drama, no more Luongo questions, no more bras on the ice, actually that was a good time in Canucks history.\n\nJannik Hansen already has a pretty impressive stat line this season, 8 goals and 1 assist , more importantly this week. 1st star of the week honours came right at the end of the week for the Great Dane and now the Canucks are finding out they might have more in the lineup than they thought.\n\nHe’s on pace to get back to his 2010-11 stats which a group of people that are good at the stats know, the Canucks did pretty well that year. Hansen is also playing his way onto another prestigious club:\n\nSo is this the peak of Jannik’s performance or is the glue finally holding the talent this team has together? It’s so much fun right now because I don’t even know what I’m supposed to believe. I mean, we beat the Blackhawks, err, Jannik Hansen beat the Blackhawks and we really didn’t put any hate into it.

Located on the south bank of the River Thames, it is named after a ford of the River Ravensbourne. Historically, it was one of the first Royal Dockyards built and was famous for being a major shipbuilding dock. Deptford originally began from the two small communities, one at the ford and the other, a fishing village on the Thames that grew together and flourished until the metropolitan district of Deptford, formed in 1900 and included in the borough of Lewisham in 1965. With the decline of the Dockyard, the economy of the region had deteriorated in the 19th century; however later it was gradually redeveloped and gentrified with plants to renovate the riverside and the town centre. Deptford Street Market on the High Street is one of London’s best known street markets and sells a diverse range of exotic goods. The Laban Dance Centre has become a place of creative talents from Shoreditch to this area, with the Albany Theatre hosting radical community arts and music and The Bird’s Nest opening live music, film and art performances from local bands and artists. Deptford is well connected by the National Rail and Docklands Light Railway services at Deptford Bridge and Elverson Road. Apart from Deptford station, New Cross station also provides links to the rest of the city. Surrey Quays and Canada Water tube stations are both walking distance from north Deptford." ]

[ "Woof, the last wicklog was in January? I really let these slip. However! I have been writing. A lot. Out of the avenues for getting funding, I think that grant-writing is the best choice for CL. Grants are hefty, don’t come with many strings, and usually have for-public-good goals that line up well with CL’s educational aspects.\n\nI wrote a grant about a year ago to get a sense of the process. As expected, I didn’t get it. They told me that they loved the idea, but I needed a business plan. Which was fair —I didn’t really have a plan beyond “I dunno, sell it to people, I guess?”.\n\nSo I’ve spent the intervening year talking with folks working in edu games get a sense of what works business-wise (and to make friends!). Cold-calling, setting up meetings, and going to socials was NOT AN EASY THING for me, an introvert who once bussed across town for a meetup, saw that it was in a ~bar~, and got so scared that I turned around and got on the bus going back. Emailing a handful of people to ask for something is usually a full day’s work for me.\n\nSo I’m hecka proud of myself and thankful to the folks I worked with, because we pulled all this together into a finished Grant Proposal #2: Operation: Get Crescent Loom Into Classrooms:\n\n(It was an SBIR application to the Department of Education, for reference)\n\nThese fifteen pages (plus a stack of supporting materials, e.g. budget) are a culmination of the last year’s worth of work, including a business plan that I think will be able to thread the needle between profitability and making it available to low-resource organizations.\n\nI think we have a solid shot, but these grants are very competitive (I think they select ~12 out of 500 applications). Even if they don’t go for this one, I now have a good footing for future shots.\n\nThey’ll let us know about the grant on June 20th, so I have a few months to do some free-form tooling around with the design. I want to 1) make it run faster so there can be more critters on the screen, and 2) experiment with different layouts to make the initial contact with the brain stuff more intuitive.\n\nThere’s always a balance between what to simulate and what to simplify. I’ve taken the tactic of initially simulating as much as I could and then paring away what is unnecessary. I think simulated action potentials traveling down axons is now on that cutting block.\n\nIt used to be that you could see a pulse of activity travel along an axon, like so:\n\nBut setting up simulation values such that they worked for both the very-fast, very-large conductances of an action potential AND the slower dynamics of a cell body was difficult; it forced me to average things out so action potentials were slow enough that the simulation time-step could catch them. It also added a bunch of math overhead to calculated current flowing through these long wires.\n\nSo I asked myself: what does simulating them add? I think it’s really cool to be able to see the chain-reaction of a pulse going down the length of an axon, but functionally, is it worth it to do 20X more work to get “A activates B” to be a little more fancy? By treating it like a single unit, I cut out a ton of overhead and can get them to fire at slightly-more-realistic rates:\n\nI have a few reservations:\n1) I like how the original animation looked a LOT more.\n2) There is an intuition that players have that pulses take longer to travel down longer connections, which is actually correct and is lost in this new simplification.\n3) You won’t be able to stimulate any part of an axon anymore and see a pulse travel outwards from that, which I thought was the coolest way to understand what axons were actually doing.\n\nBut I’m pretty sure I can cheat most of these back in with a more-simple hard-coded mechanisms. It’s not as elegant, but pursuing structural elegance over usability is one of the deadly programmer sins.\n\nAs far as different layouts go, I’ve never been happy with how separated the brain is from the body. It’s a hold-over from the very earliest designs of the prototype, but I haven’t found a better solution yet. But I would love it if instead of working on the brain floating off next to the creature, you could zoom into the creature and work there. Something like this:\n\nThere’s a lot of challenges of this design (how do you see what’s going on in both the creature and brain at the same time?), but I’ll play around with it to see how it feels.\n\nI wanted to get a better picture of where I was in my process, so I made a timeline of CL’s development thus far:\n\nI’m a little surprised at how little time over the last two years I’ve actually spent working on it full-time. A bit after the kickstarter, a bit at Stugan, but wrangling with business stuff and writing and day jobbing has meant that it’s been only a bit under 50%, overall. Hopefully getting more resources with the grant will help stabilize things?\n\nWhere is our Steam for education?\n\nThese are my compiled notes from talking with a bunch of folks about how to make a living working on educational games. Unless something’s in quotes, it’s paraphrased.\n\n“If there’s a good easy solution, I haven’t found it and I’ve been searching for two years.”\n\n“If you want to make money, go make Math Blaster.”\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nBefore starting game development, I tended to have this notion that, once completed, art sorta existed in a vacuum. High-school-Wick at one point argued that you could seriously judge a piece of art on its own merits, regardless of the context in which it was created or the artist’s intentions.\n\nI now appreciate how the environment that a piece of art is designed for totally dictates the shape of that art. These are design decisions that are so fundamental, that feel so natural, they’re invisible unless you’re looking for them. One of the reason Charles Dickens’ books are engaging is that he ends most chapters on a cliffhanger — due to the fact that he originally wrote the chapters for magazines and needed to get people to buy the next one.\n\nIn games, the most clearest example of this is the concept of “lives”. Needing to start a game over from the start if you fail a few times wasn’t something a designer came up with because they thought it would enhance the experience; it’s because it drove people to insert more quarters in the machine to buy more lives to continue their game.\n\nAn arcade machine’s entire design — lives, levels of increasing difficulty, high score lists, colorful graphics — is molded around its business model. This isn’t inherently a bad thing; you can find games that worked with this structure to tell a story (such as in Missile Command, which was developed during the height of the cold war and whose mechanics demonstrate the inevitability of mutually assured destruction). However, the structure itself is unyielding. The economics demand it.\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nCommon wisdom says that most of the time campaigns see a big spike at the start, have a big plateau in the middle, and another spike at the end.\n\nWhat happened? Lemme back up and give some context to what things were like right before that huge jump.\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nThat is to say, ah, it’s been a busy couple days. Weeks. I don’t even know any more. @_@ I’m tired and sleep-deprived but it’s coming together and (despite the wretched political situation) I have a spark of hope and excitement in my heart.\n\nThis’ll be a bit of a pre-mortem.\n\nWhatever happens in the next few days is gonna have a huge effect on the course of my life. Making an interactive neural circuit game has been a dream of mine for almost a half-decade. I believe that Crescent Loom has an enormous potential to teach and do some good in the world.\n\nFingers crossed, into the breach we go. See you on the other side!\n\nOver the last month, we’ve done a couple of experiments in publicity. Starship Rubicon was in the Bundle Stars Trinity 3 Bundle, we run a couple of Steam Visibility Rounds, started releasing Steam Coupons, participated in the Steam Exploration Sale, and put out a demo. My notes ended up being longer than I expected, so I’ve split things up a bit. Here’s my take on how the bundle went:\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\n(Note: Valve has asked us to not share our exact sales numbers. I feel like that takes a bit of the teeth out of a postmortem, but there are still plenty of lessons to be shared)\n\nI was going to write a standard postmortem for Starship Rubicon— explain what we tried, show some stats, and pull out some lessons. I’ll do some of that later, but I think I’m starting to realize that any specific tips I can share is less important than something else I learned.\n\nSteam traffic is a gigantic morass — having my game on the front page that first morning felt like timidly standing in the empty floor of the stock exchange moments before it opens. Suddenly, before I can take a breath, the wave of humanity hits. One million (1,000,000) views on the front page, Steam promises. It only took a couple hours. Store page clicks were two orders of magnitude lower than that.\n\nNot gonna lie, I was disappointed. I’d seen the ocean and only felt a drop. END_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED", null, "I think our traffic graph speaks for itself. We had a huge initial surge (I assume from being on the front page of Greenlight for being “recently submitted”) which QUICKLY dropped off over the week as we moved further and further away from the front page. The later minor spikes came from exposure through Let’s Players and Twitch streamers (huge shout out to Stream Friends, Maris from GamerQuest, and many others).\n\nThen came what is only known as the Dark Times, where we weren’t actively promoting it and were more-or-less sitting pretty at a steady ~40% of the way to the top 100. We were banking on getting more bumps down the line from doing some conventions and maybe a bundle. Then BAM! Out of the blue, Greenlit! So what on Earth happened??? Why did we get Greenlit when we did? Read on for our best guess:\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nFull disclosure on the statistics of Rubicon’s Kickstarter campaign:\n\n:: STATS & COMMENTARY ::\n———–\nGoal: $2,000\nRuntime: 29 days\n———–\nI set my goal to the absolute minimum I needed to do the project. My expenses were low: I only needed to cover my own cost-of-living and I focused on backer rewards that were mostly free for me to fulfill (emails, beta tester status, adding backer names into the game). After doing the math, I was surprised by what a low number I needed- a lot of video game projects on the site ask for $10,000+. I guess there are perks to doing everything yourself.\n\n[ Press Kit ]\nBy Olive Perry | © 2020 Wickworks\nProud to be a member of PIGsquad, Playful Oasis, and Explorable Explanations." ]

[ "Have you ever met someone with a mischievous twinkle in their eye? I have, and their names are Jim and Jean Southworth. And no one understands better than when tough times hit, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. Even if it’s coming from the headlights of a truck.\n\nAbout 5:30 one morning, Jim, Jean, and their 3 kids were sound asleep inside their house on a peaceful residential street. Their eldest son had just poured himself a drink of milk and headed back to bed. On a nearby hill, the Curly’s Dairy guy rolled his van to a stop to make a delivery. When he returned, he watched in horror as his van took off- without him. It went down the hill backwards, gathering speed. The van took out a maple tree, flattened some shrubs, and toppled a picket fence. Then it levelled the Southworth’s’ front porch and crashed to a halt in their darkened kitchen.\n\nJim told me that it was like a bomb had gone off in the house. When they finally made it to the kitchen, Jean stood there crying over a spilt milk truck. Then she saw the slogan on the van staring out at her from the ruins; “Here Comes Curly”, and Jean started to laugh. Her husband talked Curly’s out of three gallons of ice cream. Jean wasn’t so sure she wanted them delivering anything to her house ever again. After all, the front porch was totalled. The eating nook was toast. And the front door? Well…no one quite knew where it was.\n\nInsurance covered the damage, and once the renovation was complete, the Southworth family threw a party to celebrate the closing of a (literal) open house. 67 friends gathered, and guess who was among them? You guessed it. When the Curly’s driver arrived, they had signs telling him where to park. Through the truck window, Curly’s served 8 flavours of ice cream. I asked Jean if they ever considered a lawsuit. “Never,” she said, “But we were surprised at how many people wanted us to. When the story hit the city newspaper, we wondered why our reaction was newsworthy at all. That’s the way it’s should to be. We’re followers of Jesus. We’re supposed to practice love and forgiveness.”\n\nIf you ever visit the Southworth home, you won’t be able to help but notice their love for God’s Word. In it, they’ve discovered a secret to responding when tough times come. That secret? Gratitude. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 is one of their favourites; “Be joyful always, pray continually, be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”\n\nI don’t know what has slammed into your life today, but I do know God’s Word to you; “GIVE THANKS”. God will cause all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.\n\nIf something has crashed into your life, remember this: suffering and difficulty can be destroyers, or they can give you a chance to rebuild. They can pull your family apart or bring them together. It all depends on you. On how you respond. “No matter what happens to us, there’s always something to be thankful for,” says Jean. “In our case, God protected us. The truck could have easily come into our bedroom instead of the kitchen that morning. Besides,” she laughs, “My husband is a dentist. He’s used to filling cavities!”\n\n“Pulitzer prize winners know what will be in their obituaries,” Jean said. “At my funeral, somebody’s gonna say something about the day we got creamed by a dairy truck.”", null ]

It is totally conducive to prayer. As Mass was celebrated by Fr. Johannes Lechner, I could only think of the earliest Christian gatherings when there were no formal churches but rather the faithful met in the homes of prominent Christians.\n\nI took this photo as I crossed St. Peter’s square on my way to Mass:", null, "The Church of San Lorenzo in Piscibus (English: Saint Lawrence at the Fish Market) is a 12th-century small church in Rome’s Borgo rione (neighborhood).\n\nThe church is dedicated to St, Lawrence, the Roman deacon martyr. The first document to reference it dates to 1143, at which time it was referred to as S. Laurentius in porticu maiore (“Saint Lawrence near the great portico”), referring to its vicinity to the great Portico that in the Middle Ages connected Pons Aelius with the old St. Peter’s Basilica, stretching along the Borgo. The title in piscibus, which first appeared in a 1205 bull of Pope Innocent III, translates literally to “near the fishes.” The name refers either to a fish market that was operated nearby, or the Roman de Piscibus family.\n\nIn the Middle Ages the governance of the church was transferred to the canons of the Vatican Basilica, as attested in bulls of Innocent III (October 15, 1205) and Pope Gregory IX (June 22, 1228).\n\nThe church housed Poor Clares for some time, before Leo X moved them elsewhere. He replaced them with a lay community from the nearby Church of Santo Spirito in Sassia.\n\nSan Lorenzo was held by the Piarist fathers into the early 20th century. It underwent major changes when the central part of the Borgo neighborhood, the Spina di Borgo, was demolished in order to construct the modern Via della Concciliazione, a work that went from 1936 to 1950.\n\nThe church was sold by the Italian government to the Holy See in 1941. It was, however, consequently deconsecrated, having been declared redundant. It was afterward converted into a study hall for the Scuola Pontificia Pio IX, and later used as a studio for the sculptor Pericle Fazzini, who used it while working on his massive “Resurrection” piece for the Paul VI Audience Hall between 1970 and 1977.\n\nPope John Paul II saw the old church – by then more or less forgotten, being hidden by the modern propylea around Piazza Pio XII – as a potential site for a youth ministry center at the Vatican. He reconsecrated it with a special youth Mass in March 1983, expressing the desire that the church become “a hothouse of faith-filled evangelization.” It continues to house the Centro San Lorenzo, which is overseen by the Pontifical Council for the Laity. In November 2007, it was designated a titular deanery by Pope Benedict XVI and given to Cardinal Paul Cordes. (source: in part from Wikipedia)\n\n(franciscanmedia.org) “I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.”\n\nThese are the words of Thérèse of Lisieux, a Carmelite nun called the “Little Flower,” who lived a cloistered life of obscurity in the convent of Lisieux, France. And her preference for hidden sacrifice did indeed convert souls. Few saints of God are more popular than this young nun. Her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, is read and loved throughout the world. Thérèse Martin entered the convent at the age of 15 and died in 1897 at the age of 24.\n\nLife in a Carmelite convent is indeed uneventful and consists mainly of prayer and hard domestic work. But Thérèse possessed that holy insight that redeems the time, however dull that time may be. She saw in quiet suffering a redemptive suffering, suffering that was indeed her apostolate. Thérèse said she came to the Carmel convent “to save souls and pray for priests.” And shortly before she died, she wrote: “I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth.”\n\nThérèse was canonized in 1925. On October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II proclaimed her a Doctor of the Church, the third woman to be so recognized in light of her holiness and the influence of her teaching on spirituality in the Church.\n\nThérèse has much to teach our age of the image, the appearance, the “self.” We have become a dangerously self-conscious people, painfully aware of the need to be fulfilled, yet knowing we are not. Thérèse, like so many saints, sought to serve others, to do something outside herself, to forget herself in quiet acts of love. She is one of the great examples of the gospel paradox that we gain our life by losing it, and that the seed that falls to the ground must die in order to live.\n\nPreoccupation with self separates modern men and women from God, from their fellow human beings, and ultimately from themselves. We must re-learn to forget ourselves, to contemplate a God who draws us out of ourselves, and to serve others as the ultimate expression of selfhood. These are the insights of Saint Thérèse, and they are more valid today than ever.\n\nSAINT THÉRÈSE IS THE PATRON SAINT OF:" ]

[ "THE VOLUNTEER was the winner of BEST PERFORMANCES at the August 2018 FANTASY/SCI-FI Film Festival in Los Angeles.\n\nMichael Willer: I love films that highlight a strong female perspective, usually flipping the dynamic where the woman has the power and the know-how, and she’s the one who is actively involved in the plot and making things happen. That and shooting out in the wilderness, the woods, which I love, were huge selling points.\n\nThe process took almost exactly 2 years, from the time that Sarah sent me the script to the time that post was finished. Part of that was a slow development process, and once we started shooting it took about 6 months to finish.\n\nThis project was strangely blessed. We kept checking ourselves, knowing that something would go horribly wrong, but no… the worst that happened was a series of locations we’d planned on weren’t available when we showed up to shoot (a bridge had been removed from the stream we wanted to cross). But that resulted in finding a new location and my favorite shot in the film (the long shot early on when he’s chasing after her trying to convince her to help him… magic hour, bugs flying in the foreground, shafts of sunlight, it just all clicked).\n\nI got giddy. I was actually in the room at the screening and got to listen firsthand to people’s feedback and it blew me away. The word “perfect” was thrown around a couple times, which just wows me. I’m so proud of our little film. We were a tiny team, just 4 of us on set, and just me in post-production. I couldn’t be happier with the reception.\n\nFrom Sarah, the creator: “I was and always am into Star Wars and desperately wanted to work on something female-driven in a scifi world that had that post-apocalypse vibe. Something that featured a strong woman as the lead and the savior type, rather than a man.”\n\nFor my part helping in the development, I knew Sarah and Schoen (now married) had to star together in something. I’d just seen them in a play together and man, it just felt wasteful not to put them on screen after that.\n\nProbably Inception or Fight Club. The craftmanship that went into those films is mindblowing. I could watch either on repeat and find new things to marvel at. (That’s a super limited look at my tastes, though!)\n\nFilmFreeway is so easy to use. As long as the festival’s self description is clear, I have no concerns about submitting through that platform.\n\nWell, I know I’ve actually counted the number of times I listened to Celine Neon’s “Vacation Time” because I shot their music video and I was really immersing myself (it’s somewhere around 100). But honestly, probably “Falling For The First Time” by Barenaked Ladies. Love that song.\n\nI just wrapped a documentary shoot in South Africa and a 48 Hour Film Project shoot which was exhausting… But! The team I got together for that was amazing and I’m going to set us up as a creator collective, producing shorts in an anthology style web series.", null ]

[ null, "President Biden’s Leaders’ Summit on Climate may have delivered a shot in the arm for climate ambition – but indicators of global warming show the planet is in deep peril, and least developed and small island nations say rich nations have failed to make sufficient funding pledges to help vulnerable people. Mairi Dupar of CASA reports.\n\nThe Government of the United States has geared up its climate ambitions by pledging to reduce economy-wide emissions by 50 – 52% below 2005 levels by 2030.\n\nPresident Joe Biden made the announcement at the Leaders’ Summit on Climate (watch here on youtube), which he convened virtually on Earth Day, 22 April 2021.\n\nPresident Biden had marked his first day in office by taking the U.S. back into the Paris Agreement – and this new pledge on emissions reductions marked the conclusion of his first 100 days in office.\n\nThe U.S. is the world’s second-largest emitter and is responsible for 15 percent of global emissions. The new pledge – if achieved – will make a real difference to the world’s progress towards the Paris goals.\n\nThe Leaders’ Summit also created a platform for other high-emitting nations to announce their pledges for greater emissions reductions. President Biden cast world leaders’ task as a ‘race to the top’ :\n\n“The signs [of climate change] are unmistakable, the science is undeniable, the cost of inaction keeps mounting,” he said. “Those that do take action, that make bold investments in their people, in their energy future, will win the good jobs of tomorrow and make their economies more resilient and more competitive. So let’s run that race…win a more sustainable future than we have now, overcome the existential crisis of our time.”\n\nNudging down the dial on emissions\n\nAs well as the United States’ headline commitment, several other large emitters made enhanced climate pledges at the Summit. According to official State Department reports:\n\nWelcome action – but against a solemn backdrop\n\nThe Summit occurred against a backdrop of bad news in the battle against climate change:\n\nWhat does it all add up to?\n\nAn infographic and analysis released by the Climate Action Tracker show that “[The] climate action announcements at US President Biden’s Leaders’ Summit on Climate, together with those announced since September last year, have narrowed the 2030 emissions gap by around 12 – 14%, according to a provisional post-Summit analysis by the Climate Action Tracker. The largest contributions came from the U.S., the EU+UK, China and Japan.”\n\nHowever, there is still a very large amount of work to do, to align global emissions with the 1.5°C temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. The graph by Climate Action Tracker (below) shows how global emissions need to drop in the next decade. The blue dotted line shows projected 2030 emissions levels, based on (left arrow) countries’ pledges and targets in September 2020, compared with (right arrow) estimates of the collective pledges and targets made by April 2021.\n\nClimate scientist Stefan Rahmsdorf added: “How much warming do we expect after the latest pledges and targets announced at the Biden climate summit? The Climate Action Tracker is the go-to source for this. They show: the emissions gap is reduced by ~3 Gt [Gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent], but still over 20 Gt to go.”\n\nWhat least developed and small island countries are saying\n\nBefore the Leaders Summit, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa had remarked that “current levels of climate ambition are very far from putting us on a pathway that will meet our Paris Agreement goals” and that “an increase in ambition must be accompanied by a significant increase in support for climate action in developing nations, fulfilling a key element of the Paris Agreement.”\n\nThe lack of notable new finance for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) was a theme that resonated after the conclusion of the Leaders Summit, too. LDC Group Chair Sonam Wangdi of Bhutan, who represents more than a billion people in 47 LDCs, issued a statement praising President Biden’s emissions reductions target, and the US commitment to double public climate finance and triple adaptation finance by 2024.\n\nHowever, the “support must not end there,” H.E. Wangdi said. “The LDCs are counting on support from the whole international community to help implement our ambitious climate plans that will safeguard the lives and livelihoods of our people and their children, allowing us all to thrive with nature.”\n\n“Developing countries and particularly LDCs must be provided with support measures to address the climate crisis. Our people are already suffering. The billion people we represent need more than talk. We need urgent climate action.”\n\nA statement by the Alliance of Small Island States stressed the particular circumstances of its members:\n\n“The economic situation of our countries was already grave before the COVID-19 pandemic. It is now dire, particularly for tourism dependent nations. We are literally teetering on the edge of despair. Over the years, the debt of small states has risen to unsustainable levels, because of repeated borrowings to rebuild and recover from continuous debilitation by natural disasters, arising from climate change. Mechanisms, introduced by International Financial Institutions (IFIs), for addressing the looming debt crisis are insufficient.”\n\nWithout tailored and much increased financial assistance for Small Island Developing States, Prime Minister Browne of Antigua and Barbuda concluded, after the Summit: “we congratulate the US on their much improved 2030 target and commitment toward climate financing…but it is not yet enough to give our islands a fighting chance.”" ]

It was great to get the Minister down to set out how the government is prioritising building on brownfield sites and the extensive protections in place for valuable green spaces on our urban fringe.”\n\nPlanning Minister Brandon Lewis added: “I was delighted to come down to Brighton yesterday, Simon is a very assiduous constituency MP who regularly raises constituency issues with myself and ministerial colleagues. The meeting came on the day I announced the shortlist of areas in the running to receive Government funding to build on brownfield sites.”\n\n“It is baffling that Brighton and Hove City Council did not even bid for any of this funding which would help protect green spaces that I know are so important to local communities.”\n\nSince 2010 the Government has taken a number of steps to ensure brownfield land is prioritised for new housing development – including abolishing top-down regional strategies which had earmarked Green Belt land for new development, and selling enough publicly-owned, surplus brownfield sites for 100,000 homes.\n\nSimon continued: “The Minister also spoke about the importance of local plans and how the Government has devolved real power and control to local people.\n\n“In my view, if the City Council produces a robust plan to meet the housing need that it identified itself by building on brownfield sites, by considering city centre developments where the existing infrastructure is able to support development, then these vital green lungs on the urban fringe can be protected. It is the Council’s decision where housing goes and it is important they make the right decision, and protect our urban fringe. If they do not do so then I will be asking the Government to “call in” the decision.”" ]

[ null, null, null, "Summer leave beckons for many in the Armed Forces, but if anyone needs some recommendations of military books to gen up on, here are a few suggestions.\n\nFor many in the Forces, the Summer leave period provides the longest stretch of time off all year.\n\nPerhaps your time off has been and gone, and you are instead facing some months away on deployment in places such as Estonia or the Middle East. If so, these bergan-fillers will absolutely provide you with a literary escape.\n\nWith subjects spanning espionage, WW2bomber raids, Nazi war criminals and war in space, our top military-themed reads for the summer should be right up your street.\n\nA Spy Called Cynthia – by Anonymous\n\nElizabeth Thorpe, codenamed Cynthia, was a glamorous American socialite recruited by MI6 to obtain intelligence from the Polish Foreign Ministry and the Italian and Vichy French embassies in Washington.\n\nHer method was to seduce whatever targets could provide her with vital intelligence, a practice in which she hardly ever failed, enabling her to secure first the French and then the Italian naval codes.\n\nIn the landings in North Africa, she was credited with having saved the lives of hundreds of Allied soldiers.\n\nThis unique account by a British spymaster of his relationship with Cynthia, detailing his subsequent involvement with Kim Philby and the Cambridge spies and his dealings with his counterparts in the CIA and French intelligence, was entrusted by him to a junior colleague on the basis that it was not to be published until everyone in it was dead. Necessarily anonymous and impossible to fully verify, though most of it undoubtedly did happen and is part of the historical record, A Spy Called Cynthia provides a special insight into the world of intelligence and one of its most effective practitioners.\n\nIn the years before the Second World War, in a sleepy air force base in central Alabama, a small group of renegade pilots put forth a radical idea. What if we made bombing so accurate that wars could be fought entirely from the air? What if we could make the brutal clashes between armies on the ground a thing of the past?\n\nThis book tells the story of what happened when that dream was put to the test. The Bomber Mafia follows the stories of a reclusive Dutch genius and his homemade computer, Winston Churchill’s forbidding best friend, a team of pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard, a brilliant pilot who sang vaudeville tunes to his crew, and the bomber commander, Curtis Emerson LeMay, who would order the bloodiest attack of the Second World War.\n\nIn this tale of innovation and obsession, Malcolm Gladwell asks: what happens when technology and best intentions collide in the heat of war? And what is the price of progress?", null, "Originally published in German in 1987 as Der Vater, this huge seller forced Germany to confront its past.

But where some in Germany’s immediate post-war generation wanted to move on and forget, Niklas Frank wanted revenge.\n\nBitter and unforgiving, The Father is a devastating settling of accounts, a son’s ‘hate letter’ to his father in hell.\n\n2021 marks the 75th anniversary of the verdict of the Nuremberg trials and the execution of the top Nazis, including Hans Frank.", null, "Katharine Campbell’s father, Sholto Douglas, was the hero of her childhood, an unconventional senior commander in the Royal Air Force described as ‘a gloriously contentious character’. Following childhood abandonment and poverty, Sholto rose through the ranks of the fledgling RAF in the First World War before taking on a crucial role in the Second as head of Fighter Command and serving as Military Governor in Germany in the war’s devastating aftermath.\n\nBut when Katharine was five years old, he began to be stolen away by strange night-time wanderings and daytime distress – including vivid flashbacks to his time signing death warrants in post-war Germany.\n\nThe doctors called it dementia, but decades later, Katharine started researching her father’s story and realised that she had observed the undiagnosed consequences of post-traumatic stress disorder.\n\nPTSD is a hot topic today. We’re aware of the front-line soldier suffering from ‘shell-shock’ – but what about the senior officer giving the orders, who may be carrying hidden wounds accumulated over many years? We don’t expect our military leaders to have PTSD, nor is it something they often recognise or acknowledge in themselves. Yet, this secret burden likely affects a surprising number of those making important tactical decisions. A thought-provoking insight into the damage done by military conflict, Behold the Dark Gray Man is the story of a daughter’s search to understand the impact of war upon one of its most charismatic senior commanders.\n\n“An army may march on its stomach but it leans on its funny bone.”\n\nSo says Brigadier Charles Ritchie, and he should know. Postings to Yemen, Northern Ireland, Bosnia and other far-away trouble spots gave him many opportunities to demonstrate that the ability to laugh – and make others laugh – is an invaluable skill in an officer’s kitbag.\n\nIn Laughter is the Best Weapon – the Remarkable Adventures of an Unconventional Soldier, Charles abandons the popular trend for military heroism and angst-ridden confessions. Instead, he leads the reader on a forthright yet light-hearted and self-deprecating journey through his 38 years’ service as a Royal Scot. In the process, we witness his sometimes significant but often comedic participation in a wide range of recent British military operations.\n\nIf you prefer your military history more entertainingly honest than earnestly intellectual and your soldiers hilariously slapstick rather than heroically stoic, then this is the book for you.\n\nLiberally sprinkled with career-limiting cock-ups, bizarre near-death experiences and the clatter not of gunfire but shameless name-dropping, these delightfully varied anecdotes deliver a hugely entertaining glimpse into the extraordinary life of one of the British Army’s most spirited and loveable characters.", null, "As a Cabinet minister attending meetings of the UK’s National Security Council, Oliver Letwin took a profound interest in our relationship with China. So much of the discussion of world events inevitably turns into a debate about the attitudes and intentions of Beijing. But the more Letwin became involved in such discussions, the clearer it became to him that there was an absence of any settled Western strategy for conducting a peaceful long-term relationship with China.\n\nWith China’s authoritarian market socialist regime becoming increasingly assertive, and with the authorities in Washington becoming progressively hostile towards the growth of Chinese power, the world is now in a much more precarious state than it was a decade ago, and the situation is only going to deteriorate.\n\nRecent repressive moves by China in Hong Kong and Chinese military activities in the South China Sea have only served to heighten tensions, exacerbated too by concerns in the West about China’s lack of transparency in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic and by increasing Western measures directed against Chinese companies such as Huawei.\n\nChina vs America traces the contours of history, both ancient and modern, to explain how China has emerged as a challenger to American power in the twenty-first century and the discomfort that this is causing in the West. This book is a powerful call to correct the collision course on which the world’s great powers are currently embarked before it is too late.\n\nAs a ‘lowly Pilot Officer’, Johnnie Johnson learned his fighter pilot’s craft as a protégé of the legless Tangmere Wing Leader, Douglas Bader. After Bader was brought down over France and captured on August 9 1941, Johnnie remained a 616 (South Yorkshire) Squadron member. He became a flight commander and was awarded the DFC a month after Bader’s devastating loss.\n\nIn time, Johnnie came to command a Canadian wing in 1943, when the Spitfire Mk IX at last outclassed the Fw 190. He participated in some of the most important battles of the defeat of Nazi Germany, including Operation Overlord and the D-Day landings in 1944, Operation Market Garden and the airborne assault at Arnhem, and the Rhine Crossings, throughout all of which Johnnie also commanded Canadian wings.\n\nJohnnie’s remarkable career is revealed through this unparalleled collection of archive photographs, the majority of which are drawn from his own personal album or from other members of the Johnson family. Many have not been published before. Between them, they present a fascinating insight into the man himself, the machines he flew, and the men he served alongside.\n\nWar in space presents a theory of spacepower and considers the implications of space technology on strategy and international relations. The spectre of space warfare stalks the major powers as outer space increasingly defines geopolitical and military competition. As satellites have become essential for modern warfare, strategists are asking whether the next major war will begin or be decided in outer space. Only strategic theory can explore the decisiveness and effects of war in space on grand strategy and international relations.\n\nBleddyn E. Bowen applies the wisdom of military strategy to outer space and presents a compelling new vision of Earth’s orbit as a coastline rather than an open ocean or an extension of airspace, as many have assumed. Rooted in the classical military works of Clausewitz, Mahan and Castex, to name a few, Bowen puts forward new principles for strategic thought about space that explain the pervasive and inescapable influence of spacepower on strategy and the changing military balance of the 21st century.", null, "George Jellicoe, son of Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, commander of the British Grand Fleet at Jutland, was never compromised by his privileged upbringing.

Over four years, it embraced the North African and Mediterranean campaigns and culminated in saving a newly-liberated Athens from the communist guerrillas of ELAS.\n\nThe brutality of Stalinist communism led him to join the post-war Foreign Office.

[ "We had the good fortune of connecting with Thomas Zambeck and we’ve shared our conversation below.\n\nHi Thomas, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking\nIn my opinion, if I hadn’t been risky early in my career, I wouldn’t have failed – and failure is often the best catalyst for success. It was through my early missteps that I learned not only resilience, but how NOT to do certain things, and a better way to move forward. In a sense, that philosophy was what guided my partner (Brian Katz) and I to form Umbrelic: we saw film investment as pitfall for both artists and entrepreneurs alike, and sought to educate both parties on the best way to benefit from a symbiotic relationship. Simply put: lessen the risk, by understanding what risk really means.\n\nGenerally speaking, though, I think some level of risk of crucial for success in any walk of life. It was a leap of faith that led me from Detroit to Los Angeles 14 years ago. Risk, at it’s core, is betting on oneself. I think the willingness for anyone to believe in themselves, and know that they’ll always right the ship, can allow a person more upward mobility and happiness.", null, "Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?\nI’ve made my career in post-production – which is the least-glamorous (but oft-overlooked) part of making a film. Essentially, I ensure that films are delivered according to the up-front contracts agreed upon by the financiers and distributors. In this role, I got a peak behind the curtain (so to speak) on what it takes to finance a film: what boxes need to be checked, what to avoid, and how to provide an increased security on film investment.\n\nIt was always amazing to me that even the most savvy investors don’t often have an entertainment component in their portfolio – in spite of the fact that entertainment generates billions across the globe, year after year. Plenty of people make money in this ecosystem; why are so many private investors so intimidated by it, and unwilling to get involved? It occurred to me that the barrier of entry was often too difficult and too specific. If a person had been courted for film investment in past, it was likely a straight equity play: an artist who hoped their movie was good enough (and the market conditions were just right) for their magnum opus to sell at Sundance.\n\nUnfortunately, that’s the exception – not the norm. However, there are ways to lessen the risk up front, and we sought to educate people on those parameters. We don’t fully eliminate risk, but we analyze it through a strict rubric, and can often work with producers, tailoring their project to our investors’ needs and expectations.\n\nIf you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?\nIt isn’t hard to find a good time in Los Angeles, but the abundance of great food and attractions can make it hard to decide what NOT to do!\n\nGrowing up in Detroit, I’ve noticed that (weather-aside), Los Angeles is not wholly dissimilar. There’s a central downtown, surrounded by satellite cities and neighborhoods, each with their own character and personality. My personal favorite areas: Culver City, Venice, Little Osaka, Koreatown, and the Arts District.\n\nI’m a film geek, so I point out film locations everywhere (Culver has them in spades, from Flynn’s Arcade to the backdrop of Arrested Development). My favorite restaurant (which my wife introduced me to) is Malibu Seafood – great views, with the freshest fish. Huge fan of Bestia, Jon & Vinny’s, Dang Sun Sa, and Wurstkuche. I think any trip to LA needs some Korean BBQ, sushi, and a solid burger. Arts District Brewery, Angel City, and Golden Road for us beer drinkers.\n\nIf it’s baseball season, Dodger stadium is a must.

[ null, "Wilmington, Delaware – President-elect Joe Biden lashed out Tuesday at the Trump administration for failing to strengthen the nation’s cyber defenses and asked it to publicly identify the perpetrator of a massive intrusion into government agency systems, a hack that some of Trump’s top allies attribute it to Russia.\n\nBiden, who receives high-level intelligence information as part of preparations for his inauguration next month, said plans for the hack may have started as early as 2019. Various federal agencies, such as the Treasury Department, have said they were victims of the intrusion.\n\n“There’s still a lot we don’t know,” Biden said during a news conference in Wilmington, Delaware. But we know this: This attack represents a serious risk to our national security. It was carefully planned and carefully orchestrated. “\n\nThe US government has not made a formal review of who was responsible, but both Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Attorney General William Barr have said that everything indicates that it was Russia. But Trump, who has long avoided blaming Moscow for his provocations, has not followed suit and instead suggested, without evidence, that China could be responsible for the hack.\n\nThe intrusion into the Treasury Department began in July, but experts believe the entire operation began months earlier, when malicious code was placed in updates to popular software that monitors business and government computer networks.\n\n“The truth is, the Trump administration did not prioritize cybersecurity,” Biden said. “This attack happened under the supervision of Donald Trump, while he was not observing.”\n\nGiven Trump’s reluctance to publicly blame Russia, any formal retaliation by the United States for the hack is likely to fall on Biden. The president-elect said he would work with allies to establish international rules to hold states accountable for cyber attacks and promised that his government would make cybersecurity a priority.\n\nBiden spoke a day after Congress approved a $ 900 billion coronavirus aid package that includes direct payments to many Americans and assistance for small businesses that have been affected by the pandemic. He said the initiative was a “down payment” on a larger aid project that he plans to introduce once he takes office in January.\n\n“Like all commitments, this one is far from perfect,” said the Democrat. “Congress did its job this week, and I can and should ask it to do it again next year.”\n\nThe president-elect also expressed empathy for families who have struggled this year due to the pandemic and the economic ravages that resulted from it. It highlighted frontline workers, scientists, researchers, clinical trial participants, and those with family members who were deployed during the holiday season.\n\n“Our hearts are always with you, keep the faith,” Biden said while warning that the nation faces a “dark winter” as COVID-19 cases increase in the territory. More than 320,000 people have died from the virus in the United States.\n\nHe urged Americans to continue to take precautions, especially during the holidays when many often gather with family and friends. He noted that the pandemic has altered his own celebrations, which generally included more than twenty family members. “Not this year,” Biden pointed out.", null, null ]

[ "For the first time since the summer, this week in Fantasy Movie League (FML) presents us with our first Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday (FSSM) weekend featuring a single holiday that follows a normal Friday/Saturday/Sunday (FSSM). You might recall that Christmas and Hanukkah overlapped with each other for a FSSM weekend a few weeks ago, which was then followed by the rare back-to-back FSSM weekends with New Year’s Day.\n\nHow is MLK weekend different from others? Are the results of the Golden Globes a big deal?\n\nBefore we examine that, let’s look at last week and how an often overlooked data source championed by a Skynet member helped me.\n\nWhat Did We Learn From Last Week?\n\nData later in the week matters more than data earlier in the week. In this space last week, based on the ProBoxOffice.com Long Range Forecast for “Hidden Figures”, I compared story of NASA legends Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson to “Selma” but as the week wore on it became clear that it might, instead, be closer to “The Help”. Given that it was already in limited release, we had daily numbers to compare to and if you followed things closely in The Chatter, you probably saw that most people set a bar of a $1M Thursday as an indicator that the film would be headed over $20M despite Thursday returns not counting towards the FSS gross. Sure enough, when it came in at $1.2M for Thursday most lineups turned towards three screens of “Hidden Figures”.\n\nThat makes me happy, because this is an important story that more people should know about. You might recall that I had similar hopes for “Queen of Katwe” not too long ago that didn’t pan out. That “Hidden Figures” went for more than $20M hopefully sends a message to Hollywood executives that not all movies have to be about cool guys who don’t look at explosions.\n\nBut what did it for me in advance of the weekend that indicated “Hidden Figures” would do well was another source, one that BSWhite1970 has long advocated, and that’s the Movietickets.com “Trending Now” widget. Thursday night, had you gone to Movietickets.com and scrolled down about half a page, you would have seen that “Trending Now” was reporting that 11% of the movie tickets sold in the prior 24 hours were for “Hidden Figures”. That alone wasn’t terribly interesting, but that “Sing” also sold 11% of movie tickets over that same period told me all I needed to know about “Hidden Figures”. It doesn’t get talked about a lot, but this data source can be an informative one.\n\nNot all holiday weekends are created equal. This week we have one in January, when consumer spending tends to be lower, and following a significant awards show but it also overlaps with the second week of the NFL playoffs (as a Saints fan, I root for anybody but the Falcons to take home the Lombardi trophy). So for tables this week, I went back two years and compared the FSS weekend prior to MLK weekend. First, here’s 2015 (full table, corresponds with the 72nd Golden Globe awards):\n\nand for 2016 (full table, corresponds with the 73rd Golden Globe awards):\n\nMovies whose titles are in orange were new that week and the following three columns look at how all movies performed for the FSS of MLK weekend (in other words, not counting Monday). That is then followed by the theater count (TC) and the change of TC from the prior week. Then comes FSSM grosses for the full MLK weekend and the FSSM Per Theater Average). Much like I did for Boxing Day, the MLK Day Bump column takes the Monday only gross and divides it by the FSS to give an indicator of how much of an audience saw a particular film on Monday. The final column compares the FSSM of the MLK weekend to the FSS for the prior weekend.\n\nWhat does all this tell us? Not surprisingly, family films and those involving stories centered on African American characters get a bigger bump from Monday of MLK weekend than other movies do. Take a little bit of caution on the latter, though, as “Selma” has a more direct link to the holiday than other films starring and about African Americans have and, therefore, likely saw a larger bump. In 2016, “The Revenant” basically “won” the Golden Globes and saw a very strong hold with a modest TC increase. Other smaller films that didn’t do quite as well with awards still saw some nice returns with TC increases, just like any other weekend.\n\nSo, results at the Golden Globes don’t necessarily have the impact on the box office as you might think. Simply being part of the conversation can be enough, all things being equal. In support of this, last year in FML, “The Big Short” won Best Performer despite not doing as well as it could have on Golden Globes night. Keep in mind that we are rumored to be seeing an expansion for “La La Land” this week which won’t be confirmed until as late as Thursday. Its FSSM business this weekend will have a lot more to do with that than how it did on Sunday night at The Beverly Hilton.\n\nWhat about new films?\n\nIt’s been awhile since we had five new wide releases entering the market (with a limited Scorsese film as well) and we’re sure to see expansions on awards-centric movies as well, so theater counts on the low end choices will be especially important to monitor this week.\n\nFor the second time in less than six months, we are asked whether or not the public will respond to a film on a topic already covered by an HBO documentary. In September, “Snowden” failed to turn a profit and how much of that had to do with the widely praised “Citizenfour” versus interest in the topic was unclear, but we are met with a similar situation this week with regards to “Patriots Day” and “Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing”. As an avid HBO NOW subscriber, I’ve seen the latter and it’s incredibly moving, leaving me no incentive to see this movie. How many people fit that description, though?\n\nHow about “Monster Trucks”? With “Sing” and “Rogue One” still in theaters competing for families, it comes in with a low Rotten Tomatoes score and an unimpressive foreign box office to go with the $125M it cost to make. You’ll see plenty of “Norm of the North” comparisons in the forums based on release timing (which had to go up against “The Force Awakens” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip”), but this movie may have a chance for that coveted family audience based on the simplicity of its message and the fact that it’s a Nickelodeon film, which will help its marketing for an opening weekend even if word of mouth dampens it after that.\n\nThe “Sleepless” trailer is interesting except for the fact that Open Road Films didn’t bother to redo the graphics after they moved up the release date. That hints that they didn’t think it would do well in the spring and thought they could cut their losses on a less competitive weekend, relying on the general awesomeness of Jamie Foxx to pull people in.\n\nFilm award regular Ben Affleck came up empty on nominations this year with “Live By Night”, which expands this week. “The Bye Bye Man” rounds out the new wide releases with what is already our second horror film of 2017. I think the latter has a chance to surprise based on horror fan behavior in general, but I hesitate to think that’s a slam dunk with “Underworld: Blood Wars” still in theaters. “Silence” is a long time passion project for Martin Scorsese and the showtimes report will be worth examining on Thursday to see just how dense its limited release is this weekend but as the lowest price film on out palette this week it is likely at best a low end filler.\n\nWhat are the Combos to Watch this week?\n\nIt’s been a few weeks since we had multiple new films, but per usual on Monday the Lineup Calculator had new movies with ProBoxOffice.com Long Range Forecasts (LRFs) set accordingly and all others defaulted to the average value of those LRFs, $72.84K. From that, it’s clear that the Triple Dog Dare this week is “Monster Trucks”, which fits on seven screens with any number of fillers.\n\nCCR set his Bonus Bar much higher than that though, at $100K. His top three contenders are “Hidden Figures”, “Sing”, and “Fences” so if you set the Lineup Calculator for those three to a $100K value, a number of 3x “Hidden Figures” and 4x “Fences” combinations look attractive or even 5x “Fences”. The math doesn’t support using “Sing”, though.\n\nIf you take CCR’s next tier and do the same for “Monster Trucks” and “The Bye Bye Man”, the “Hidden Figures”/”Fences” combos still show strong. Discount “Hidden Figures” and “Fences”, some “Sing” combinations with an empty screen rise in value but nothing anchored by either of the two newcomers in that “Risk/Upside Plays” tier rears its head.\n\nSet both the “Top BP Contenders” and “Risk/Upside Plays” back to $100K value and do the same for “Upper Mid Tier” and a 2x “Hidden Figures”, 2x “La La Land”, 4x “Fences” hedge play reveals itself. Bump “La La Land” to $16M, which is possible given its TC expansion potential, and a 5x “La La Land”, 2x “Passengers”, “Fences” combination is worth watching as well.\n\nAll told, here are the combinations I’m keeping an eye on pending more data later in the week (full table):", null, "Needless to say, the numbers to look for throughout the week are the daily values for “Fences”, “Hidden Figures”, and “La La Land” and the deciding factor for the week will likely be how large the TC expansion is for “La La Land”." ]

The numbers for cannabis sales predictions in December were reported through as $146 million, which means that they’re in for a pretty big payout if these trends continue.\n\nIn comes the COVID-19 to add to the struggles that legal cannabis sales and marijuana stocks were already facing. Putting many of the cannabis shops into lockdown, and those that stayed open were forced to utilize a different delivery service or type of stock. The deeming of essential services put cannabis sales into a different mode of serving the consumer, as they are just trying to survive.\n\nStill today, the cannabis industry is not showing remarkable profit growth. Cannabis sales growth has been, to say the least, disappointing for investors monitoring marijuana stocks. As always, some people think the cup is half-full and believe that there is a long-term potential still available for the growth of marijuana stocks. However, a word to the wise has been given by investors who said to analyze marijuana stocks as one would do for any other kind of investment.\n\nAs some of the marijuana stocks lick their wounds, others celebrate the victories achieved. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Despite the many setbacks that cannabis sales and stocks have suffered, the experts say to hold on to your hat, because the industry is on the way back from an unexpected decline in both cannabis sales and stocks.\n\nSome of the insights include:", null, "Experts predict the top 10 states for cannabis sales in 2020\n\nThere is absolutely no way to know for certain, as unseen forces are typically responsible for sudden shifts in the market, but it’s fun to try to guess...." ]

[ null, "The day started with the short film FEEDING TIME. I actually caught this one earlier in the year at the Chattanooga Film Festival, so I will link to my review of it from there (which also includes my first thoughts on SEQUENCE BREAK—see below). But the short version is that writer/director Matt Mercer has crafted a super-fun horror comedy with some honest scares, laughs, and a nifty gore gag.\n\nJust as the first time I saw it, FEEDING TIME screened before SEQUENCE BREAK. That first viewing was a late night show, so I was exhausted when I saw it. While I really liked the nightmarish imagery, odd tone, and performances in the film, I felt like I did not fully absorb the intricacies of some of the plot. I was hoping that a decent night’s sleep and seeing the film at an earlier time might heighten my ability to grasp the finer nuances of writer/director Graham Skipper’s look at fate through the lens of a sci-fi film that turns into gooey, slimy existential horror. Alas, I still had the same questions about the film’s third act after this viewing.\n\nThat said, Skipper has created a film that nails a tone of creeping dread with a visual style that neatly goes between naturalistic and stylized horror with blacker than black pools amidst primary colored streaks of light. The performances—especially Chase Williamson’s turn as an awkward video game repairman—are solid across the board and a killer score by Van Hughes lend some texture to the film that keeps it from taking a totally deep dive into complete surrealism in the third act.", null, "I still really like SEQUENCE BREAK as purely a tonal and visual exercise in dread and longing. I just wish some of the story elements were not as elusive as they sometimes are. But Skipper—long a fixture as an actor in the horror genre—clearly has a future behind the camera.\n\nBLOOD SHED was up next. A silly short film about a man who accidentally builds the most evil tool shed possible, it is a slight story that lives up to its title and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Believe it or not, I mean that as praise.\n\nLike most people I know, I am burned out on zombies. But if you look at the current cultural landscape, most people I know are clearly in the minority.

Given that I mentioned the dreaded “z word,” you can probably guess what happens next—and you would mostly be right. But co-writer/director Peter Ricq and his cast manage to wring enough comedic moments out of the film before and during the zombie material to not only justify the existence of DEAD SHACK, but also make it a modest success.", null, "Most of the comedy comes from the interactions between the rambunctious family unit as Jason awkwardly tries to play along with behavior that is far outside of his reserved comfort zone. Roger is a forty-year-old who behaves like he might be a year older (at best) than his teenage son. His love of stupid/crude jokes has passed on to his son fully intact while Summer has taken that sense of humor and added a smart, acerbic edge to it. For her part, Lisa simply wants to be left alone to drink herself into a coma and ignore the abrasive family she finds herself in.\n\nIn all honesty, much of the dialogue that springs from this sitcom-like set up sounds like it should be performed in front of a live studio audience. Initially, that set up—punchline rhythm annoyed me, but then Ricq unwaveringly sticks with the formula to the point of absurdity. The film got me to the point when Colin and Roger make the same “sausages equal penises” joke three times in a row, I couldn’t help but laugh.\n\nStinson, Boys, and LaBelle are up to the task, taking their paper thin characters and making them likable enough that you want to see them survive once zombies start chowing down on people.\n\nI had fun with DEAD SHACK and I don’t think anyone is more surprised than me.\n\nAfter learning about it in late spring and including it in the Daily Rundown all summer and fall, I finally got see the newly discovered 35mm uncut print of SUSPIRIA. Since I can safely assume that if you’re reading this site, you know all about the film, I will skip any real review and focus on the experience of seeing it.\n\nAs a 35mm print for a movie released in 1977 that was found in the basement of an Italian movie theater, it is in remarkably good shape. There is some expected fading and a couple of scratches here and there, but I have seen much more recent 35mm prints of films in far worse shape.\n\nInitially, it was odd to watch the film while the characters spoke in Italian. I have seen this film so many times over the last 25 years that I was used to the roughly dubbed English version and hearing Jessica Harper and Joan Bennett’s actual voices. But once that odd feeling passed, I was able to just soak in the slightly muted visuals and Goblin’s amazing score just like I always do.\n\nHarper was on hand for a Q&A after the film and talked about the idiosyncratic working methods of Italian movie crews compared to American productions, how she got the role, and the difficulty of acting opposite someone who speaks a language you do not understand. She also gave credit to the print as a historical document, but was frustrated by its slightly faded look, urging everyone to watch the Blu-ray when it comes out. I understand her point, but as a film nerd who is just as interested in film history as the actual movies, I was thrilled to finally see the film uncut on a 35mm print.\n\nThe short film WE SUMMONED A DEMON was up next. A fun horror-comedy that delivers some laughs, gore, and roughly thirty gallons of stage blood from one rooster. It’s silly and slight and I laughed a lot. It is well worth your six minutes.\n\nThe new film from Spanish director Paco Plaza is VERÓNICA. A supernatural horror flick that draws on several well-worn tropes in the genre, the characters thankfully are interesting and likable enough to pull the film above the clichés into which it could have fallen.\n\nThe titular character (Sandra Escacena) is a fifteen-year-old latchkey kid living in Madrid in 1991. While her widowed mother works late nights in a bar, Verónica takes care of her three younger siblings, getting them ready for school in the mornings and making sure they eat dinner in the evenings before putting them to bed. While she handles the various strains that come from basically raising her younger sisters and brother with poise, it is clear that she longs for a more traditional teen experience.\n\nStill mourning her father, Verónica joins two of her classmates in a séance using a ouija board to try to contact him. But if hundreds (if not thousands) of supernatural horror and satanic panic films have taught us anything, it is that you should probably never try to contact the dead during a solar eclipse—which is what she does. The séance ends with Verónica passing out after the ouija board goes into overdrive.", null, "After the séance, things go haywire in Verónica’s apartment. Hot water seemingly turns on by itself, scalding her little brother in the bathtub. Silhouettes appear on the bottoms of mattresses that look like they could either be burn marks or mold. A shadowy figure walks through the apartment, visible only to Verónica. And that is all before Verónica starts to act…strange.\n\nIf this all sounds familiar to seasoned horror fans, that’s because it largely is. There is even a spooky blind nun who gives our hero cryptic advice, for god’s sake. What makes the film worth seeing is the care that Plaza and co-writer Fernando Navarro put into the characters with Verónica emerging as a resourceful heroine in over her head, but who is nevertheless sympathetic and believable. She is ably supported by Bruna González and Claudia Pacer as her bickering, hilarious younger twin sisters. They provide the perfect amount of comic relief without ever becoming annoying or tilting over into false movie kid cuteness.\n\nVERÓNICA is purported to be based on true events. I cannot speak to the accuracy of this. I wish Plaza had not made this claim because it only seems to exist in the movie to provide an unearned X-Files-like ending that is intended to be eerie, but that struck me as silly.\n\nDespite my issues with the film, it is still an entertaining horror flick that indulges in some clichés and over-used imagery, but overcomes those stereotypes with winning character work and performances. Watch it alone on a dark night and it will give you a jump because of just how much you wind up caring for Verónica and her sisters." ]

[ null, "No school embraces tradition in their appearance like Penn State: for over six decades, the team has worn the same white and blue striped helmet and unadorned uniforms. But this fall, all that will be changing, thanks to a collaboration with Nike. The school will be brought kicking and screaming into the recent past via a hyperfuturistic uniform redesign and rebranding.\n\n\"I know, I know, we already designed some Pro Combat uniforms for Penn State,\" said head designer Christopher Polyblend. \"But pressure has come down from on high to go back to the drawing board. The athletic department, the university, and the university's lawyers, feel strongly that the football team needs to make a clean break with the past, and these uniforms will most definitely do that.\"\n\nThe new uniforms feature several never-before-seen features, such as a computerized heads-up display, hologram-based wrist playbook, and sweat-powered electro-luminescent striping (see infographic). The most noticeable change, however, will come in the form of new colors and a new mascot. Dark blue and white will be replaced by electric blue, and the team formerly known as the Nittany Lions will be now known simply as \"The 'Net\".", null, "The new uniforms are sponsored by several cutting-edge internet companies.\n\n\"We thought about bringing Penn State fully to the present day, but decided that the shock would be too great for the fans, and so we have brought the uniforms up to 1991 instead,\" said Polyblend. \"The bright cyan colors, the singular nickname, and the fascination with all things internet-related were state of the art in that era. Think of the Charlotte Hornets, San Jose Sharks, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, the Sandra Bullock movie The Net, etc. We are bringing the hopelessly nostalgic Penn State fan base as far into the future as we believe we can without causing cerebral hemorrhaging.\"", null, "Bill O'Bren has promised to cooperate with the new uniform designs by installing the run-and-shoot offense of the Warren Moon-era Houston Oilers. \"It may be a bit of a shock to the system, but if we can jolt the fan base at least into the Clinton administration, we'll all be a lot better off.\"\n\nThe reaction of former 'Net players has been somewhat mixed. Franco Harris punched a hole in his own head at first sight of the new design, while Matt Millen tore off his own mustache in a blind rage. Meanwhile there is no sign of a stop to the rioting and armed insurrection that has overtaken State College in the days since the uniforms were first announced.\n\n\"All we ask is that the uniforms go back to the way they were,\" said the masked rebel leader known only as Linebacker U Thant. \"Then we will gladly put down our arms and release those National Guardsmen.\" The U.S. army is currently considering countermeasures to put down the revolt, the first ever incited by a football uniform change.", null ]

Lindh pulled alongside and the two cars bumped several times speeding along the back straight. They touched again in Turn 14, with McAleer sliding into the grass and Lindh speeding away to win by 0.305 seconds over Dickerson.\n\nThe runner-up finish was enough to push Dickerson and Sarchet into the points lead in the Lmp33-1 class. They hold a 100-point edge on Kranz, who finished 10th in class with de Wilde in the No. 21 Muehlner entry.\n\nHe and Kok strung together five straight second-place finishes in LMP3-2 – without a win – to secure the crown.\n\nBrothers David and Keith Grant, co-drivers of the No. 40 JCD MotorSports Duqueine, were winners in Bronze Cup for entries with only Bronze-rated drivers." ]

This may be a physical location (like the NYSE, BSE, NSE) or an electronic system (like NASDAQ). Much trading of stocks takes place on an exchange; still, corporate actions (merger, spinoff) are outside an exchange, while any two companies or people, for whatever reason, may agree to sell stock from the one to the other without using an exchange. Trading of currencies and bonds is largely on a bilateral basis, although some bonds trade on a stock exchange, and people are building electronic systems for these as well, similar to stock exchanges.\n\nDerivative (finance) Many money managers use derivatives for a variety of purposes, such as hedging — by taking a position in a derivative, losses on portfolio holdings may be minimized or offset by profits on the derivative.", null, "Likewise, derivatives can be used to gain quicker and more efficient access to markets; for example, it may be easier and quicker to purchase an S & P 500 futures contract than to invest in the underlying securities.[3] Derivatives are a contract between two parties that specify conditions (especially the dates, resulting values and definitions of the underlying variables, the parties' contractual obligations, and the notional amount) under which payments are to be made between the parties.[4][5] The most common underlying assets include commodities, stocks, bonds, interest rates and currencies, but they can also be other derivatives, which adds another layer of complexity to proper valuation.\n\nStill, even these scaled down figures represent huge amounts of money.

At the end of 2006, this was USD 415.2 trillion, more than 8.5 times the 2006 gross world product. However, since the cash flow generated by a swap is equal to an interest rate times that notional amount, the cash flow generated from swaps is a substantial fraction of but much less than the gross world product—which is also a cash-flow measure.

[ "The Science of Forecasting: The Special Sauce", null, "“Where’s this special sauce?” CIA operative Bernadette in The Report asks psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, after 60 days of waterboarding Muhammad Rahim yielded no results. “You have to make this work. It’s only legal if it works.”\n\nOracles, augurs, prophets, and pundits studied entrails, birds, and dreams looking for the special sauce, but the science of forecasting is young. A new article in the International Journal of Forecasting, which I wrote with colleagues Deniz Marti and Thomas Mazzuchi, claims to have found the special sauce—or at least some key ingredients—in the classical model for structured expert judgment. Torture isn’t among them.\n\nHere’s the first key ingredient of the special sauce: the common scale is probability. How likely is an error of three aircraft years or three daughter years? That would be easy if we had a universal likelihood scale for all responses, but alas, we don’t. The next-best thing is the subjective probability of the expert forecaster herself. Suppose that for every forecast of a quasi-continuous unknown quantity, we tally how often the true value, revealed after the fact, falls within the expert’s 90 percent confidence bands.\n\nWhy would this help? Aren’t all experts pretty much equally able to assess how much they know? As it turns out, no. For some experts, saying they’re 90 percent certain that the true value falls in some interval confers a less than 10 percent chance of that predicted result actually happening. For other experts, you can take that 90 percent to the bank. Understanding an expert’s ability to gauge the likelihood of her own predictions might be good to know before we bet the farm on her advice.\n\nAn Example of These Principles in Action\n\nIn a recent expert elicitation on foodborne illness pathways at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one of the 14 calibration questions is the following: “Between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016, a total of 11,277 samples of raw ground beef from 1,193 establishments were tested for Salmonella spp. Of these samples, how many tested positive for Salmonella spp?” The medians and the 5th and 95th percentiles of the 48 participating experts are shown in Figure 1, as is the true value: 200 samples tested positive. Had we simply asked the experts for their best guesses, we would have gotten something like the average of the 48 median values, which is 553.\n\nOf course, this is just one example chosen to illustrate these features; we need more examples to draw accurate conclusions. Our article chronicles several applications of the classical model. Other highlighted examples of professional applications include nuclear safety with the European Union and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission; fine particulates with Harvard University and the government of Kuwait in 2004–2005; foodborne diseases for the World Health Organization in 2011–2013; ice sheet dynamics; and volcanic hazard, forecasts, and risk level assessments in different parts of the world. From 2006 to 2018, 49 commissioned applications have involved 530 experts, who are scored by assessing 580 calibration variables from their fields. The judgments of about 75 percent of these experts, considered as statistical hypotheses, would be rejected at the traditional 5 percent significance level.\n\nWhat Have We Learned?\n\nSo, what have we learned? Is one expert as good as another? Are the measured performance differences just noise? This sounds like the beginning of a fruitless debate, but we can actually test the ideas with performance data.\n\nFor each of the 49 studies, we repeat this random scrambling 1,000 times. How does the statistical accuracy of the best-performing expert in the original panel compare with the best performers in each of the 1,000 scrambled panels?\n\nOf all the PW predictions, 48 have a fractional error greater than 2. In other words, if the true value were 200, the prediction would be greater than 600. For EW, there were 60 such predictions and for the simple average of medians, 112, or about 20 percent of all predictions.\n\nAll in all, we may have some special sauce, but we do not have a silver bullet.", null, "Expert Forecasting with and without Uncertainty Quantification and Weighting: What Do the Data Say?", null, null, null ]

[ null, "Until the Chace Act in 1891, no international copyright law existed between Britain and the United States, which meant publishers were free to edit text, excerpt whole passages, add new illustrations, and substantially redesign a book's appearance. In spite of this ongoing process of transatlantic transformation of texts, the metaphor of the book as a physical embodiment of its author persisted. Jessica DeSpain's study of this period of textual instability examines how the physical book acted as a major form of cultural exchange between Britain and the United States that called attention to volatile texts and the identities they manifested. Focusing on four influential works”Charles Dickens's American Notes for General Circulation, Susan Warner's The Wide, Wide World, Fanny Kemble's Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation, and Walt Whitman's Democratic Vistas”DeSpain shows that for authors, readers, and publishers struggling with the unpredictability of the textual body, the physical book and the physical body became interchangeable metaphors of flux. At the same time, discourses of destabilized bodies inflected issues essential to transatlantic culture, including class, gender, religion, and slavery, while the practice of reprinting challenged the concepts of individual identity, personal property, and national identity.\n\n\"Jessica DeSpain brings together an intriguing combination of works by Charles Dickens, Susan Warner, Fanny Kemble, and Walt Whitman to produce a rich understanding of the culture of reprinting. The result is a thought-provoking and informative exploration of reprinting and textual adaptation in a transatlantic context.\"\n\n\"DeSpain’s Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Reprinting and the Embodied Book will surely be a touchstone of future scholarship on textual studies, cultural materialism, and nineteenth-century literary culture. Her close, critical reading of texts – paired with her archival research and reproduced artwork – articulate a deep historical concern about modality and materiality that persists today, and her monograph contributes to an ever-expanding field of study where DeSpain’s voice is sure to find its audience.\"" ]

While many modern women struggle, many women in the past were destitute.\n\nThe Molton House was built circa 1858 at 706 Adams Ave. by lawyer Jefferson Franklin Jackson. Planter Charles H. Molton purchased it as his “in-town house” in 1860. The home remained in the extended Molton family until 1881. According to historian Mary Ann Neeley, “In the late 19th century, as a social consciousness swept the nation, women’s groups in the South turned toward assisting their less fortunate sisters.” Thirty-nine of these women in Montgomery formed The Association Aiding Working Women and the Helpless and bought the Molton House. A series of Montgomery Advertiser articles tells “The Women’s Home” story.\n\nOn Sept. 18, 1881, in what was then The Montgomery Weekly Advertiser, the announcement that the mission of the association “to establish an institution for the benefit of working indigent females” had resulted in a home that would open Dec. 1, 1881, was coupled with the reminder that “needs are greater than just bare walls,” and an appeal: “Everyone urged to give ... no matter how small an amount. ...”\n\nThe house was home to women who worked, but could not support themselves; some had children. A housekeeper, or “matron in residence,” for many years, Mrs. M.C. Pye, supervised the children while the women worked. Elderly and infirm women were also granted rooms, food and medical attention.\n\nAs need soon exceeded the main house, members of the community built cottages on the grounds; many were built in memorial of a loved one. In addition, two “lean-tos” or “saddle bag” structures, which probably once served as a kitchen and slave quarters, also became residences.\n\nKing and Pell have published two books: “Montgomery: Then and Now,” and “Montgomery’s Historic Neighborhoods.”" ]

[ "One of the perennial discussions in climate circles is about which impacts will break through the noise and apathy to finally galvanize people to do something about the problem. The usual suspects are droughts and food shortages, since they’re expected to bite first.\n\nMy own dark-horse candidate has been sea level rise. As I wrote last year, the carbon in the atmosphere today has already “locked in” enough sea level rise to swamp hundreds of coastal cities and towns around the world. Some 316 settlements in the lower 48 states, with a cumulative 3.6 million residents, are already doomed. If we continue on our current trajectory, 1,400 American towns and cities will eventually, inevitably be lost to the ocean.\n\nBut when? Problem is, we don’t know. It’s likely in the next several hundred years, but it could be a thousand. The science is maddeningly difficult to nail down. It’s not exactly enough to get people fired up.\n\nBut! It turns out rising sea levels don’t have to rise very much before they get annoying, and then burdensome, and then overwhelming. This fact is well-captured in some interesting new research from NOAA scientists William Sweet and Joseph Park. (Over on Mashable, reporter Andrew Freedman has a great write-up.)\n\nRather than focus on average sea level, researchers focused on the frequency of “nuisance-level” flooding events, defined as water one or two feet higher than local high-tide level. (The name is deceptive — it’s expensive to clean up and repair after such events, especially if they reach vulnerable infrastructure.) Two important insights emerged.\n\nFirst, the frequency of nuisance-level flooding is rising faster than average sea level, and on a non-linear trajectory. Such floods are already five to 10 times more common than they were 50 years ago. Long before the sea rises far enough to literally swamp coastal towns and cities, it will rise enough to bedevil them with frequent floods.\n\nSecond, lots of American cities and towns are on the verge of serious trouble. The researchers identified 30 or more days of nuisance-level flooding a year as a “tipping point,” the level at which flooding goes from burdensome to overwhelming. The tipping point has already passed in some places and it’s rapidly approaching in others.\n\nIn addition to [Washington] D.C. and Annapolis, Maryland, other cities that will soon exceed their tipping points include Baltimore, Maryland; Charleston, South Carolina; and Atlantic City, New Jersey. These locations should pass the 30-day flood-frequency benchmark within the next five years, the study found.\n\nHere’s a handy chart showing just when your city is f*cked!", null, "The last word on this goes to Freedman:\n\nThe study is a warning to decision-makers in many coastal areas that they need to think more proactively about protecting their critical infrastructure from coastal flooding, rather than assuming that most of the impacts of sea level rise will be delayed until the end of the century.\n\nThe study, as well as a recent report from environmental advocacy group Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), shows that floods reaching such heights are becoming the norm — rather than an outlier — in many places.\n\nThe UCS report, for example, warns that flooding at high tides may become so common along the East Coast that “sections of coastal cities may flood so often they would become unusable in the near future.”\n\nWhat about the somewhat farther future? Sweet says that “by 2100, most coastal locations analyzed in the [NOAA] study are predicted to have almost daily flooding.”\n\nDaily flooding. That will be fun.\n\nIn light of this background, let’s quickly check out a couple of stories from one of the cities that will be first in line for flooding damage: Miami.\n\nStart with this story by reporter Nick O’Malley. The purported focus is the effect of rising seas on South Florida, though under cover of that topic O’Malley manages to squeeze in a considerable amount of political background on climate. It’s a great story, but in this blogger’s humble opinion, he rather buried the lede.\n\nIn the latter half of the story he talks to Harold Wanless, chair of the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Miami, about why South Florida is so vulnerable to even small increases in sea level. What should be done about it?\n\nWanless believes the hundreds of millions of dollars that have already been spent of flood mitigation infrastructure around Miami have been wasted because the sea cannot be held back.\n\n“We are in the position where we think we are going to fight it and win. We are not going to win.”\n\nSoon, he believes, insurance companies will stop underwriting homes in the worst affected areas and then owners will be unable to sell.\n\nMoney should be saved for moving people away while all levels of government work to reduce emissions, he argues.\n\nSo the head of the Geology Department at the University of Miami thinks that large swathes of Miami should be abandoned, starting now. OK!\n\nThese decisions are going to press themselves on Miami more and more unavoidably, within our lifetimes. So far the city’s response is … not entirely rational, as this darkly humorous Washington Post story reveals. To raise money to build the $300 million storm-water project they desperately need to deal with increasingly frequent flooding, they need property tax revenue, so they’re allowing a bunch of high-end condos to be built … on Miami Beach, one of the nation’s most vulnerable flood plains. D’oh.\n\nMiami Beach Mayor Philip Levine says, “We’re showing the world, the investment community — what we do works. That brings calm, comfort and security to everyone.” I picture him wiping flop sweat off his forehead, looking nervously over his shoulder.\n\nWhen wealthy areas of Miami become uninhabitable — which could happen within decades — it’s going to make a splash. Half the people in America live within 50 miles of a coast! Maybe getting repeatedly smacked in the face by floods is finally going to wake the public. One can hope.\n\nThis was an epic year for droughts, floods, and extreme weather" ]

He has had 24 No.1 hits.\n\"Once I started with Lucille [in 1977], it was like an indescribable career for anybody, so you have a look at that and say: how can you not have enjoyed that?\" Rogers says. \"But I have to tell ya: too much success is not good either. I'm at a great place right now where I sign enough autographs to satisfy my ego, but not so many that it invades my privacy.\"\nIn 2009 Rogers did widespread touring under the anniversary banner The First Fifty Years. He still performs or records about 100 days annually. But turning 74 next week, with a much younger wife and twin eight-year-old boys at his home in Atlanta, he expects his Australian concerts will be his last here.\n\"This is probably gonna be my last international tour,\" he says. It's because his family can't be with him. \"So I think when I come back … that's gonna be it. I'm gonna stay home then.\n\"I'll continue to tour the States. I'd just like to be able to get home [more] so I can spend what I think is quality time with the boys … I really wanna be there for 'em instead of being gone all the time.\"\nRogers has said his one regret is the toll his pursuit of success had on his relationships. But \"I don't want to go back and rehash things that I was honest about and paid the price for. I don't want to pay it again.\"\nKenny Rogers will also play at the State Theatre tomorrow night, again supported by John Williamson.\nIf Rogers other performances down under in Australia are anything like tonight's, fans are in for a massive treat from this true music legend, and his new Aussie legend mate.\nAustralian Tour Dates...\nSYDNEY, NSW AUSTRALIA\nAugust 16, 2012 9:00 p.m.\nState Theatre\nWith Special Guest John Williamson\nDARWIN, NORTHERN TERRITORY AUSTRALIA\nAugust 18, 2012 9:45 p.m.\nDarwin Festival\nGeorge Brown Botanic Gardens\nWith Special Guest Sara Storer\nPERTH, AUSTRALIA\nAugust 21, 2012 9:00 p.m.\nRiverside Theatre\nPerth Convention & Exhibition Centre\nWith Special Guest Troy Cassar Daley\nMELBOURNE, VIC AUSTRALIA\nAugust 23, 2012 9:00 p.m.\nPalais Theatre\nWith Special Guest Troy Cassar Daley\nNEWCASTLE, NSW AUSTRALIA\nAugust 24, 2012 8:00 p.m.\nNewcastle Entertainment Centre\nWith Special Guest Lee Kernaghan\nGYMPIE, QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA\nAugust 26, 2012 8:00 p.m.\nGympie Music Muster\nADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA\nAugust 29, 2012 9:00 p.m.\nAdelaide Entertainment Centre\nWith Special Guest Beccy Cole", null ]
