By people and the fact that there seems to be such a snobbery around the cleaver vanilla. Yeah because it's kind of like okay. It seems like if you're oh. I don't want vanilla ice cream. It's too basic from your whatever. The vanilla stands come through the woodwork. And they're just like. Oh well maybe you just don't get it see my palate is so sophisticated and i can sense the the notes of vanilla bean better than you may be. There's just such an elitism with vanilla. Vanilla has put in no work. Wow okay. I've been biting my tongue for a long time. I saw. I saw the list of what matt steele was saying for his rants. Two out of three of them including this one our personal attacks against me. It is very common knowledge in our home that i am very pro vanilla and pro. French allah whipped cream. We've argued about this several times. I feel like this is now being used as a platform to attack me. And i don't know that that's fair. Yeah i think it's funny. I had the same reaction. I think it's funny. That you've invented this villain of like stand like our bonilla's stands out there. How often malign vanilla as like a boring flavor. And now i feel like i need to assume the role of manila bill. And because i. I will go hard for me. I feel like i recently came into my love of vanilla because it is often people are like it's just boring. We need something else mixed in. We need something but it sounds like you've become an adult and so i'm excited for matt steel to join the party. I will never join this party. I i am on the opposite end of town at a different party. And that is the chocolate party because chocolate maybe as subtle as someone punching you in the face like obviously like it's the opposite of vanilla at least chocolate puts in the work like vanilla does nothing for you sure. No one needs something to compliment it. In order for me to handle it i i would agree that i am often like. I'm never like oh. I would love scoop of vanilla ice cream right now like i.

Online courses existed before Covid, but it has been their normalization and standardization that has made most realize how difficult it is to keep the attention of those who are being trained through a computer screen. . However, and before the pandemic came into our lives, the founders of Go4clic were already aware of the challenge of maintaining the interest of online training.
Go4clic is a social learning platform, that is, a technological tool that allows course or content creators to design gamified online training or courses. According Leonardo Gimenez, CEO of the startup, the platform “makes these learning processes playful through challenges” that the user must complete to develop their training path.
The resolution of these challenges is published so that they can be “viewed by all colleagues”, who can also assess the response by accessing metrics made available by Go4clic. Thus, those who participate “have the gaze and opinion of their peers”, which allows us to speak of “multidirectional” learning.
The platform has found a business niche for its tool, mainly in companies that sell training services, such as human resources consultants, business schools or educational institutions, entities that must meet and “exceed the expectations of their clients”. However, the project was not born with that objective. In the year 2018, Giménez, together with Agustina De Nicola, Esteban Zozaya, Mauro Gallardo and Máximo Zarza, founded Go4clic, although the project did not start shooting until mid-2020, the year in which they went on the market. At the beginning, explains Giménez, the idea was to focus on the formal academic world, such as universities. “What we were looking for was to generate that attraction of people towards training, a much more flexible space than taking a course,” explains the CEO. However, the evolution of the business was not as expected. Entrepreneurship has its own challenges, but in education other factors come into play: “Paradigms, a lot of opinion, many pedagogical currents and a lot of fundamentalism,” reflects the director. Reason for which they discarded this market and approached the companies. «They were more open to try, to innovate. They have the need for people to be trained effectively and for that they need to get involved, commit to the training process and that is what we achieve”, reflects Giménez.
The startup, which was born in parallel in Argentina and Barcelona, has an ambitious growth plan with which it hopes to “multiply the year’s turnover by three”, reaching 400,000 euros. Among its plans for the newly released financial year is a financing round of 500,000 euros.

Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, has written his own version of «The Martian Chronicles» where he envisions a day in the not-too-distant future when scores of humans colonize the red planet. Although his new paper «Making Humans a Multi-Planetary Species» is not as literary as Ray Bradbury’s classic, Musk says he thinks it’s possible to put 1 million humans on Mars within the next 50 to 100 years.
Musk published his Martian vision in the June 2017 edition of the journal New Space. His paper is a summary of a presentation Musk unveiled at the 67th International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico in September 2016.
«History is going to bifurcate along two directions,» Musk writes. «One path is we stay on Earth forever, and then there will be some eventual extinction event … the alternative is to become a space-bearing civilization and a multi-planetary species.»
Mars is the only planet in our solar system capable of sustaining human life, Musk says. Mercury is too hot because of its proximity to the sun, and Venus has a whole host of issues that would make survivability impossible. While one or two of Jupiter’s or Saturn’s moons might prove hospitable, they’re too far away, Musk explains.
Only Mars, he continues, is the logical choice. It is close by (in terms of outer space) and has enough sunlight, although it is colder than Earth, especially at night. Mars has a mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere, which although deadly to humans, could be very helpful in growing plants. The planet’s gravity, about 37 percent that of Earth, would make it easy to lift heavy objects.
Musk admits getting to Mars and settling the planet will be expensive, and using traditional methods, such as those employed during the Apollo moon landings of the 1960s and 1970s, are not cost-effective. Also, using conventional spaceflight systems would cost about $10 billion per person, Musk says.
spaceship to Mars
Musk plans to build reusable rockets and spaceships that will be able to take as many as 100 people at a time to and from Mars.
To that end, Musk envisions using reusable rockets and spaceships, such as SpaceX’s planned Interplanetary Transport System (ITS), which would be the most powerful rocket ever built. When coupled with the spaceship that will carry human passengers — 100 people per trip — the ITS will stand 400 feet (122 meters) tall. Musk says the ITS will be strong enough to put 300 tons (272 metric tons) into low-Earth orbit. The ITS rocket booster will be powered by 45 Raptor engines, which could accelerate the rocket to 5,281 mph (8,500 kph). Each ITS can be used 1,000 times.
SpaceX has already built and tested a prototype of the Raptor engine, and developed a light carbon fiber fuel tank. It’s made progress in developing reusable rockets and boosters, which are essential to the project. As for the spaceship carrying the crew and passengers, each would hang out in Earth’s orbit and then leave for Mars once every 26 months when Earth and Mars are aligned in a favorable position.
SpaceX is even building a new launch pad near Brownsville, Texas, to accommodate the ships it plans to send to Mars.
In his paper, Musk also outlines some of the countless problems associated with travel and colonization, admitting the risks would be enormous. «There is a good chance we will not succeed,» Musk writes, «but we are going to do our best and try to make as much progress as possible.»

As long as you don't mind cell shaded art, I highly recommend this game. The single-player campaign has a decent story and excellent music that matches the game's style perfectly, and come on, who doesn't like sneaking up on random soldiers and smacking them in the back with a broom, shovel, pool cue, brick, ash tray, and so forth?
Multiplayer is addictive if you have people to play with, but due to a limited number of stages in the GameCube version, it can get old fairly fast. The bots are also not much of a challenge even on their hardest difficultly in the GameCube version. Luckily, the XBox and PS2 versions provide much more challenge (though mostly through giving the bots the ability to shoot while they're not even facing you and other typical broken gaming elements).
The PS2 version has a special game mode called Power Up Mode that the GameCube version doesn't. Random items will show up that give you increased firepower, armor, speed, and so forth. The XBox version has Sabotage Mode, which is basically a form of king of the hill. The XBox version also has several more stages, which greatly improves its multiplayer playabiliy.
If you're considering picking this up and you have the luxury of choosing which system you want it on, I'd recommend the XBox version so you can benefit from the more difficult bots, more stages, and Sabotage Mode. | https://thebrink.us/contrib/review.php?r=14 | dclm-gs7-052900035 |

That's why a lot of us don't even ask for evaluative input or ignore it when we get it. But if we take a second to let the sting subside and analyze the content of the message, there's often something of value there. Something we can use to improve.
Grabbing that kernel, that tiny insight, and acting on it can have big impact. It's not about refuting, it's about reacting. If the issue's easily resolved, resolve it. If it's thornier, develop an action plan and start working on it. And share that. Show people the results of your immediate actions and decisions, and explain the plan to you have to fix the bigger stuff. Keep people informed about your progress until you reach your goal.
Accepting constructive criticism (even if you have to mine it from un-constructive intentions) actually creates a competitive advantage. So few people, organizations, brands do this that those of us who do improve performance, increase loyalty, drive positive word of mouth, and more.
So next time negative feedback comes your way, rethink your response, and if there's something useful in there, use it!
Here are your steps:
1. Acknowledge the input (people want to feel heard)
2. Look for legitimate information
3. Act
4. Share progress/results | https://thewordfactory.com/handling-negative-feedback/ | dclm-gs7-052960035 |

22 - Version control support (primary is Subversion, but now others)
23 - Milestones and Roadmap

30== Installation troubleshooting
32=== Installation from source
34==== Q: Why do I get `NameError: global name 'log' is not defined` when trying to use ``?
37../trunk/$ python egg_info
38running egg_info
40 File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/setuptools/", line 55, in get_sections
41NameError: global name 'log' is not defined
44**A:** You're most likely working from a Subversion **1.7** checkout and you're using a too old `setuptools` package, eg `/setuptools-0.7a1dev_r66608`. Upgrade to a newer setuptools, downgrade to svn 1.6.x, or use distribute. See also #7598.
46==== Q: Why does installing `distribute` fail with `ValueError: A 0.7-series setuptools cannot be installed with distribute.`?
48You tried to install `distribute` as advised elsewhere:
50$ curl | python
53but you're greeted with:
58**A:** Don't give up, it's just `setuptools` giving you a last fight. You can remove the offending setuptools .egg and if it keeps re-appearing, you have it installed not only in the virtualenv but also in the parent Python installation, the one in which you installed virtualenv itself. If this is the case, remove it from there as well and installing distribute should now work.
60==== Q: Why does Apache crash (500) with a `ZipImportError` in the error log?
63[Tue Aug 07 09:08:26 2012] [error] [client] mod_wsgi (pid=16444): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/packages/trac/virtualenv-0.13/bin/trac.wsgi'., referer: http://dserver/trac/bct/timeline
65[Tue Aug 07 09:08:26 2012] [error] [client] File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/", line 1197, in _get, referer: xxx/trac/bct/timeline
66[Tue Aug 07 09:08:26 2012] [error] [client] ZipImportError: bad local file header in /packages/trac/virtualenv-0.13/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Genshi-0.6-py2.7.egg, referer: xxx/trac/bct/timeline
69**A:** You probably forgot to stop and restart your server during an upgrade. The zip importer mechanism keeps an internal cache which has trouble detecting replaced files, so a restart is needed, see TracUpgrade#ZipImportError.
71==== Q: Why do ticket notification emails contain unexpected backslash characters?
73You installed Trac from PyPI using `easy_install` or `pip`, along with Genshi 0.7. Your ticket notification emails have unexpected backslash characters (for an example, see #11572).
75**A:** This is the result of a defect in Genshi 0.7 (genshi:#569). Until Genshi 0.7.1 is released, your options are:
76 * Use Trac 1.0.3 or later. The zip archive has been built on Linux rather than Windows since 1.0.3.
77 * Downgrade to Genshi 0.6.1
78 * Convert the line endings of the ticket notification email template from `CRLF` to `LF`. For example, on a Unix-like system you can run the following from the directory in which the egg is installed:
79 {{{#!sh
80$ dos2unix Trac-1.0.1-py2.7.egg/trac/ticket/templates/ticket_notify_email.txt
82 You may need elevated privileges, and your egg may have a different name depending on your Trac and Python versions.
84==== Q: Why do I see `IndexError: pop from empty list` when trying to add an attachment?
86The issue is seen with Genshi 0.6.1 and 0.7 for languages other than English. The issue can be avoided by downgrading to Genshi 0.6 or upgrading to Genshi 0.7.1.
88=== Upgrade troubleshooting
90==== Q: Trac /about says 1.0, but the style looks pre-1.0
92**A:** You probably just need to convince your browser that the CSS files have changed. Try force reloading by entering `CTRL+R` or `CTRL+Shift+R`, depending on your browser. This is a common issue, see #10797.
94If that still doesn't work, look in your server configuration to see where the chrome files are supposed to be served from (`Alias` or `AliasMatch` directive), and maybe you are serving them as static files from a different location:
96Alias /trac/bct/chrome /packages/trac/virtualenv-0.13/share/htdocs
99In this case, don't forget to:
101$ trac-admin <yourenv> deploy /packages/trac/virtualenv-0.13/share
104See TracUpgrade#a5.Refreshstaticresources.
106==== Q: Attachments are missing after upgrade
108**A:** Most likely failed. See #11370. Please report any additional information on the MailingList.
110If the attachments are not moved when upgrading your Trac instance, add the following code to ``:
112# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
114# Execute `do_upgrade` in trac/upgrades/
116# Usage: python /path/to/tracenv
119from __future__ import with_statement
121from trac.env import Environment
122from trac.upgrades import db28
124def main(args):
125 for arg in args:
126 env = Environment(arg)
127 with env.db_transaction as db:
128 cursor = db.cursor()
129 db28.do_upgrade(env, 28, cursor)
131if __name__ == '__main__':
132 import sys
133 main(sys.argv[1:])
136Then run the script against the broken environment:
138$ python /path/to/tracenv
141== Trac development
143=== Q: How to extend Trac?
145**A:** The primary way to extend Trac is to write [TracPlugins plugins] in Python. Look for the extensive documentation below TracDev/, maybe starting with the [TracDev#Overviews overview] pages. Also, we regularly migrate plugin functionality into Trac core, if that functionality is used often enough.
147The community site [TracHacks:WikiStart] is the portal where close to 1000 Trac plugins are hosted, and there is a [ trac-hacks organization on GitHub]. It also contains a few [TracHacks:wiki:tutorial tutorials] to get you started.
149=== Q: How to contribute to Trac?
151**A:** There are many ways to contribute back, see HowToContribute for details.
153Also have a look at the documentation below TracDev/, in particular the pages below the [TracDev#Contributing Contributing] section. | https://trac.edgewall.org/demo-1.4/wiki/sottopagina?action=diff&version=3 | dclm-gs7-053000035 |

This paper explains that political socialization is the process through which individuals acquire the information, beliefs, attitudes, and values that help them to understand the workings of a political system, and as part of the process, adopt some of the beliefs, attitudes and values. The author points out that the importance of the process lies in the fact that the beliefs and the values of the people are the basis for a society's political culture, and such culture defines the parameters of political life and governmental action. The paper states that some people argue that people having similar social background, income or education levels, a common religion, race or gender share largely similar political views; hence, political socialization is more of an innate rather than a learned process.

Diagnosed autism prevalence has risen dramatically in the U.S over the last several decades and continued to trend upward as of birth year 2005. The increase is mainly real and has occurred mostly since the late 1980s”. That was the conclusion reached by Dr Cynthia Nevison based at the Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder in the United States (U.S.) in a new research paper published in the journal Environmental Health*.
Based on an analysis of data from the CDDS (California Department of Developmental Services) and and the U.S. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Nevison reported indications of an upward prevalence in the rate of autism not substantially influenced by changing diagnostic criteria.
The possible role of environmental factors in relation to the increase in cases was also examined by the author. She concluded that “most of the suspected environmental toxins examined have flat or decreasing temporal trends that correlate poorly to the rise in autism” suggestive of no single ‘smoking gun’ as being causative. That being said, some environmental factors did show some correlation at certain time points which could indicate a variety of different environmental issues driving the increase in cases at different times.
Whilst detailing some interesting data, the report does contain some methodological weaknesses. The datasets used for example to highlight the numbers of cases of autism, may not have counted every case of autism. Data on the environmental factors described is likewise subject to some degree of error or generalisation. That also the paper describes correlational analysis between numbers of cases of autism and environmental factors is also a limitation given that causation does not necessarily imply causation. It also assumes that direct contemporary exposure patterns are the only way that such environmental variables can affect autism rates so not taking into account inter-generational effects nor synergistic effects.
That all being said, the data generated are consistent with other independent readings of the trends in cases of autism including those estimated by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and further prompt more detailed investigation into the increasing frequency of a diagnosis of autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Winning: Word Counters
Counting my words again.
Today my fellow Word Counters and I are sharing our monthly group post. The bloggers who are joining me this time all picked a number between 12 and 74 and sent it to me. I gave the numbers out as assignments to other bloggers who are then challenged to write something (or a few somethings, as the case may be) using that exact number of words. Today we all share what we came up with.
I got the number 31. It was submitted by Dawn of Spatulas on Parade.
As I've been doing in these Word Counters posts, I've chosen a theme and am using my word count multiple times in keeping with the theme. This month I've chosen the theme Winning. I chose it because I've written so many posts lately about being sick for 3 months (sorry, when you're sick nothing much is happening in your world so there was little else to talk about), that I thought I'd go for something positive. I choose Winning.
~ Although you're legitimately overly alert (terrified), when it turns out that a cough is just a cough or a sneeze is just a sneeze, no indication of any new plague. Winning.
~ You know how it only snows on days when you're out of everything and have to shop? Well the one time it snows the day AFTER going to the store. Winning.
~ When you're on your way to the store, turn on the car radio and instead of hearing the last cords of an old favorite song, you hear the first ones. Winning.
~ You forgot to consider the consequences of those grocery choices. Yet you get those pistachios open without ripping out a nail and that orange peeled without ruining your nail polish. Winning.
~ When you finally start cleaning out the bottom of the hall closet, find an old forgotten still wrapped gift you never delivered (oops), open it and it's something you like. Winning.

Spicy and Sweet Meatballs, Crockpot or Stovetop
~ After a long day you finally get a chance to sit down. Bad news, that crunch you hear is you sitting on your glasses. Good news, you didn't break them. Winning.
~ That spider on the floor that startled you into jumping up from the couch screaming ends up just being a black thread. AND no one saw you jumping around screaming. Winning.
~ You find a show about the worst cooks which makes you feel like you're doing better than you'd thought. And, Alton Brown's pained face is priceless (hysterical). Winning (me, not Alton).
~ The new season started and I'm excited for my favorite Oxygen murder shows . . . so much to learn about new ways to kill a spouse. And if I ever need it? Winning!
~ You've created a recipe and would actually {{gasp}} like a bite. You go to the fridge and there it is, one last piece (yes, still counts if you'd hidden it). Winning.

Dawn aka Spatulas On Parade
1. I have to admit that I'm finding many mistakes I made during that time but at the moment I'm just concentrating on feeling healthy and gaining back my strength.
2. Winning is still having a sense of humor after your past few months. For me: Winning is finding a blog that makes me smile. Winning is falling when no one is around and you haven't hurt yourself (much). And it's having vacationed in Florida before this week, when it's going to be cold cold cold. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
1. Hope those Florida memories help you through the cold snap.

The Frogger game is among the most notable games all over the planet. In fame, we can contrast this game with Pacman or even Asteroids.
It was in the year 1981 that Frogger was first presented by Sega. The game had been created by a game improvement organization in Japan known as Konami. It has now been more than twenty years since the game was first sent off, yet its notoriety has not grew dim at all.
Since its send off, the game has seen its rundown of fans consistently expanding. Notwithstanding, the players from this age are luckier, and presently, following 30 years they can play their cherished game online free of charge. The mechanical turn of events and approach of Internet has made this conceivable. Would it be able to improve than this?
Best of all, the possibility of this game is basic. You won’t see as any sort of story line, at all. The game is about a frog that you want to assist with getting on the opposite roadside. Your work, as a player, includes taking the frog securely to the opposite side, while saving it from all risks and deterrents that would be coming.
The game has various levels and trouble เว็บบอล increments as you advance through the stages. The perils that you will experience are as weighty traffic cruising by. The frog would have to cross various paths securely to arrive at the opposite side. As you push ahead, impediments you will face might incorporate crocodiles, different creatures, logs, and water out to suffocate the frog. One more significant thing to know is that you make some given memories to get the frog securely across.
In the event that you decide to play the paid variant of the Frogger game, you will have the valuable chance to acquire rewards, which you can use to get free prizes. You can acquire these rewards by getting bugs or assisting one more frog with intersection securely. This release is in reality significantly more engaging than the free form.
To win a level, you really want to assist the frog with getting its objective. The objective is the lily cushion which is sitting tight for them across the street. You can then continue on to a higher level, however as you progress through levels, things begin turning out to be increasingly troublesome, with a ton of difficulties sitting tight for you on the way. | https://www.bestreplicawatchesuk.co.uk/frogger-games-online-for-free/ | dclm-gs7-053290035 |

Why were camels imported to Australia?
During the 1860s as pioneer explorers raced to map the interior of Australia the camel became their greatest support to get further inland as camels, unlike horses, thrive on desert flora and fauna, not only getting enough nutrition, but also enough water. The first camels arrived in small numbers in the 1840s from the Canary Islands. However, it was George Landells, who had worked in India that persuaded the Victorian Government to allow him to import camels for use in exploration. In June 1860 Landells, 8 highly experienced cameleers (camel handlers) from India, Pakistan and Afghanistan and a load of camels arrived Melbourne.
Did they ride camels?
The first exploring party to add camels to their horse team to carry supplies was Burke and Wills. Joining them on their expedition were Landells as ‘officer in charge of camels’ and the cameleers, Samla, Dost Mahomet, Esau Khan, Belooch, and a man from Kelat and 26 camels. All did not go smoothly: Burke and Landells disagreed over the camels’ treatment. By Menindee Landells left and at Coopers Creek depot Dost Mahomet stayed with 16 camels. Only 6 camels remained on the trek to the Gulf; some were lost or abandoned, and on the way back from the Gulf, eaten by the doomed exploration party. Later, Giles and other explorers used the camels for exploration.
Camels’ main task was carrying bulk supplies to outback towns like Alice Springs, mining communities and pastoral stations as well as in the construction of rail and telegraph lines. Camels were also used as a means of transport for outback residents and Aboriginal families.
Camel breeding
In 1907, there was an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in India that stopped camel imports. There was still a demand in Australia for camels, so the Governments in SA and WA established camel depots where they bred and trained camels. Private breeders like Thomas Elder also supplied camels. Approximately 20,000 camels were working at their peak.
Feral camels
From the 1920s camel transport was largely abandoned in favour of road and rail and their numbers grew in the wild. Because they impact of the food chain of native animals and some plant species, camels are today classified as feral or noxious animals.
Camel industry
Attempts have been made in the Northern Territory to establish a camel industry to process camels for meat and by-products, and a live camel export industry. As a desert resource, camels can produce meat and milk in extreme conditions, with less water intake. Their milk is lactose free with three times the amount of Vitamin C than cows’ milk. The fat in their humps can be made into moisturisers and potentially, bio fuel. Several dairies operate in Australia. Overseas, camels are prized for racing, meat, milk, wool and tourism as well as properties in camel blood, urine, tears, eyelashes and other by-products.
Where can you ride a camel in Australia
A popular camel ride is along the beaches of Broome Western Australia, which is where our Marcus Williams, the camel man of Pyndan Camel Tracks learned all about living with camels. Marcus has worked with camels for more than 40 years. He caught his first two herds in the Simpson Desert as wild camels, trained them in the bush, and walked them back to Alice Springs.
Which camels can you ride?
Our camels go to camel school with Marcus over several months before they are ready to join you on your tour. Please meet our trained camels here.
Can you ride a camel in Darwin?
Camels prefer the arid climate; Darwin is in a tropical zone and there aren’t any camel rides. Book a camel tour by clicking here.
Are there camels at Uluru?
There are wild camels in the desert around Uluru. The camel cup held at Uluru is lots of fun and you can have camel rides too. | https://www.cameltracks.com/camel-rides-australia/ | dclm-gs7-053330035 |
0.035499 | <urn:uuid:61331fc8-5aeb-4e2e-ae83-34c6e28e05cc> | en | 0.986191 | Martin Lewis has explained a furlough rule which could help parents having issues with childcare during the third national lockdown.
Schools have been closed until February half term at the earliest to help stop the spread of the highly infectious mutant coronavirus strain.
Only the children of key workers and vulnerable children are now allowed to attend school, meaning many parents have been left with a childcare problem.
But the Money Saving Expert has now revealed that parents can request to be furloughed if their firm is allowing that as an option, reports The Mirror.
"I want to shine some light and warmth on your finances," he told viewers of ITV's Martin Lewis Money Show.
But there were some caveats.
"Furlough is available until the 30th of April. You have to understand though, that furlough is always at the employer's discretion - they do not have to furlough anyone," Martin explained.
"To get furlough you need to have been on the payroll by the 30th October - it applies to zero-hours contract people, agency workers... you can be furloughed.
"And furlough now is flexible."
That means you can work just a few hours a week and be furloughed for the rest of it, or take just a few hours a week off on furlough and work the rest at normal pay.
And that flexibility could be a godsend to parents.
"It's important to understand that if you can't work because of childcare responsibilities, your kids are now at home, then firms can furlough you just because f that," Martin said.
"Ask them, they don't have to, but I hope they would be considerate on that."
If they won't furlough you, that doesn't mean they can force you to work when your children need someone with them.
"If they won't furlough you, you do have a legal right to time off to look after your children," Martin said.
"But you don't have a legal right to be paid for it.
"Which is why furlough is a very good option - and of course flexible furlough works there too."
Martin also had some good news regarding furlough for people classed as at risk.
"Similarly, if you've been told you have to shield - and millions of people are getting their letters that they have to shield and shouldn't leave their homes - firms can furlough you for that reason," he explained.
"But they don't have to."
But, unlike with childcare, you do have some rights to pay if your boss won't sign off on furlough.
"You might be eligible for sick pay, or statutory sick pay, but not everyone will be and there are gaps," Martin said. | https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/uk-news/martin-lewis-parents-furlough-childcare-19584763 | dclm-gs7-053370035 |

Those were my initial thoughts when I got the heads up that the Saracens prop would be switching clubs this summer.
Granted, many other ingredients within that Wasps pack are currently on the shelf with Jack Willis and Joe Launchbury being the biggest name absentees, but for all the power and attributes they bring, or the dynamism and potential Tom Willis and Alfie Barbeary possess - there's only so much you can do if your scrum is haemorrhaging penalties.

On so many occasions in a season where Wasps have lost six of their opening nine Premiership games, razor-thin margins have been the difference and penalties awarded against them at scrum time have been repeatedly damaging.
It kills momentum and lets opponents off the hook. It rallies packs that get those awards and fans who roar with appreciation. Suddenly a knock-on in a promising position becomes a penalty and they're 50 metres worse off, without the ball. It's happened time and time again. Of course, not all of this can be attributed to the right side of the scrum, but few champion teams in modern rugby do not have a world-class tighthead within their ranks.
And that is exactly what Koch is; world-class. A current world champion, a former European and Premiership champion.
Wasps went into the 2021/22 season with a big question mark hanging over the number three shirt. Kieran Brookes had quietly gone about his work during most of his three-season stay and was a mainstay in the side that went all the way to the final in 2019/20, which he unfortunately missed due to Covid-19 reasons. The former England prop wasn't a tryscoring threat or a metre-maker. He was the rock of a pack that came from nowhere to claim a runners-up medal.
Toulon came calling with a deal the 31-year-old couldn't turn down at this stage in his career and his last England cap coming five years ago, at the very start of Eddie Jones' reign.
Former All Black Jeffery Toomaga-Allen was left as the leader of the pack. Undoubtedly, he's made improvements after early struggles adapting to the scrummaging demands of the English game. Big Jeff is not the penalty machine he once was. So far this season, across penalties of all descriptions, he averages just one conceded per game. His carrying, handling, tackling and workrate are big ticks against his name. Yet he's still not a dominant Premiership force where it really matters for a tighthead, and rarely turns the screw to pin a loosehead into submission. It's just not his strong suit.
Powerhouse front row Biyi Alo was another who shone in that run to the final. Since arriving from the bench in that rain-soaked evening at HQ in November 2020, he has played only six more times in Wasps colours due to injuries and form of others.
Elliot Millar Mills, signed from Ealing Trailfinders, has shone during five substitute appearances and is pushing for a start. Meanwhile, we've barely seen South African Pieter Scholtz hasn't featured in the Premiership since October in the heavily-rotated side that took on Saracens.
The concluding point to make from the current tighthead situation is that while Toomaga-Allen has bagged seven of nine number three shirts issued on matchday, it remains an area where teams can target and get at Wasps.
Vincent Koch of Saracens
Vincent Koch of Saracens
Although, we must point out that so far this term the main issues have fallen on the left side of the scrum with Ben Harris out long-term after neck surgery and Tom West only managing his first back-to-back games recently. Robin Hislop, signed from Doncaster Knights, had a fast start to life in the Premiership with his aggressive carrying and tackling, unfortunately, that is weighted against the concession of 18 penalties - four of which came last time out against Worcester.
Even at hooker, Wasps have had issues. Gabriel Oghre, Tom Cruse and Dan Frost have all been unavailable for periods due to injuries and suspension, prompting the club to field three short-term signings already in that crucial position.
Signing Koch is a big statement. The South African's talents are not on the decline, as Wasps saw first hand at the StoneX Stadium in October when he beat four defenders with ball in hand drove through the heart of the visiting scrum.
Wasps supporters are heartened by their summer recruitment. Vaea Fifita, Elliott Stooke and Dan Frost have slotted in seamlessly and others aren't far behind. The temporary arrivals that have followed - all 12 of them - have largely been quick fixes to issues presented by a crippling unavailable list that has consistently hovered in the high teens. Fans, who have become conditioned to being underwhelmed by the mid-season new-signing announcements, were blown away by the Koch revelation.
It might not be the highlight reel hot-stepping, tryscoring backs that first caught the eye in the Coventry-era of the club. It's an acknowledgment of what is needed, and going after solving that problem aggressively and securing a best-in-class solution. When was the last time they did that?
Wasps needed a shot in the arm; something to excite, generate conversation and evoke some joy in a time when the narrative hanging over the club is a gloomy mix of injuries, dwindling crowds and poor results - Koch's arrival has done that and whet appetites for what could follow.

0.2938 | <urn:uuid:b4ba35a7-0382-4ef0-a6fa-5028815d05c5> | en | 0.967656 | Two different air bag glitches have forced Toyota and Honda to recall more than six million vehicles worldwide, the car companies said on Tuesday.
Both problems present different dangers to motorists.
The Toyota recall affects some 3.4 million vehicles globally and is being undertaken because the air bags might not inflate in a crash.
The cars have air bag control computers, made by the company ZF-TRW, that are vulnerable to electrical interference and may not signal the bags to inflate.
The problem could affect as many as 12.3 million vehicles in the US made by six companies. It is possible as many as eight people have been killed due to non-inflating air bags, in cases being investigated by US safety regulators.
Honda's recall covers some 2.7 million vehicles in the US and Canada with Takata air bag inflators. Those involve a different version of air bag than the ones blamed for 25 deaths worldwide. Still, it is possible the air bags could blow apart a metal canister and propel shrapnel at drivers and passengers.
In a statement, Toyota said a computer controlling the air bags might not have adequate protection against electrical noise that can happen in crashes, such as when one vehicle runs under another. The problem can cause incomplete opening of the air bags, or they may not open at all. Devices that prepare seat belts for a collision also may not work.
The recall covers certain 2011-2019 Corollas, the 2011 to 2013 Matrix, the 2012 through 2018 Avalon and the 2013 to 2018 Avalon Hybrid in the US. Owners of cars subject to the recall would be notified by mid-March, Toyota said.
The Honda recall covers certain Honda and Acura vehicles from the 1996 to 2003 model years.
In this case, the inflators do not contain ammonium nitrate, which is blamed for previous Takata problems that have killed 25 people and injured hundreds worldwide.
In Texas, the car had a salvage title with a date that coincided with a major flood, while the two cases in Japan were in salvage yards where car windows were typically left open, the company said. | https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/six-million-toyotas-hondas-recalled-17609352 | dclm-gs7-053490035 |

BY foxsports • January 14, 2012
For over two months Joe Paterno has kept silent about the mess surrounding Jerry Sandusky's tenure at Penn State and the recent criminal charges. Now he's finally spoken to the Washington Post's Sally Jenkins. You can read that full interview here. As Sally Jenkins says in the article, Joe Paterno's lawyers were present for the interview and so were his sons, at least one of whom is a lawyer as well. As a profile piece this was incredibly well done, but that's the flaw with the "interview" as well, we don't actually get to see the questions and the responses. We don't know how much editing took place.
Sally Jenkins writes beautifully, but is now the time for beautiful writing or is it the time for a Bob Costas style interview? Do we need a profile piece or do we need answers? I've never said this before, but halfway through the piece I thought, if only Bob Costas had been able to conduct this interview. He would have cut to the heart of the issues and left us better informed. Just as Costas did with his amazing Jerry Sandusky interview back in November.
As I read Jenkins' piece I returned time and again to the question of how much control she actually had over the interview process. With lawyers there how often could she press Paterno on his answers? How much could she get Paterno to expound upon his comments when more detail was required. Jenkins attempts to deftly deflect this question with this sentence: "His attorney Wick Sollers of the Washington law firm King & Spalding, and a communications adviser, Dan McGinn of TMG Strategies, monitored the conversations, in part to be sure Paterno was lucid, since he has experienced fogginess from his chemo treatments, one of which he underwent the day before the first interview."
Note the key words there, "in part to be sure Paterno was lucid."
The way the sentence is drafted you naturally focus on the chemo treatments and Paterno's lucidity, but that's only part of the reason why they were there.
Paterno's advisers were there to ensure that what was said comported with their specifications. That Paterno didn't say anything he was supposed to say.
Now, you can argue that an "interview" with set parameters is better than no interview at all -- and you may well be correct -- but finessing what could and could not be answered and only releasing a couple of audio clips leaves much to be desired.
Sally Jenkins has written beautifully, but has she written informatively?
I don't think so.
Even still, the important takeaways from the interview are as follows:
1. Joe Paterno categorically states that he didn't know about the 1998 investigation of Jerry Sandusky.
That seems downright impropable, but it's Paterno's story.
“You know" Paterno said, "it wasn’t like it was something everybody in the building knew about. Nobody knew about it.”
If Paterno didn't know about it, it's awfully convenient that Sandusky chose to retire the next year after three decades as a top assistant coach.
2. Paterno seems old and out of touch.
This is probably not that surprising, but Paterno's insistence that he didn't know one man could rape another man should have nothing to do with his age.
Does he have no idea what goes on in jail? Never heard anyone making a don't drop the soap joke in all his years in a locker room? That seems pretty implausible.
In particular, Paterno claims he'd never heard of "rape and a man."
(Of course it was rape and a boy which is even worse. Surely he knew child predators existed in the world, right?)
Surely Paterno knows that men can sleep together. He's a student of history, fond of quoting ancient Roman wisdom. Well, the ancient Romans definitely were in to some kinky things, including male on male sex.
So if he knew men could sleep together, isn't it pretty evident that one man could rape another man?
Paterno says no.
“You know, he (McQueary) didn’t want to get specific,” Paterno said. “And to be frank with you I don’t know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man."
3. Paterno claims he didn't really know why Jerry Sandusky decided to retire in 1999.
Instead, Paterno suggests that Sandusky decided to retire because he'd been a state employee for 30 years.
So you work closely with a coach for three decades and then he suddenly decides to quit and you have no real idea why other than retirement benefits and the fact that he won't get the job when you retire?
As if that wasn't enough Sandusky's "retirement" happens one year after an investigation into inappropriate child sexual contact?
I'm sorry, that just seems way too coincidental.
Especially because Paterno also says he can't recall the last time he talked to Sandusky. In a town this small, when we know that Sandusky continued to use Penn State gyms and facilities, isn't that almost impossible to believe?
Put another way, if you worked alongside somebody for 30 years in a small town and then never talked to him again, would you do that without a reason to do so?
Something still isn't adding up here.
4. Sue Paterno says she would have killed Jerry Sandusky if he'd touched their children.
I don't doubt this at all.
Ultimately Jenkins wrote delicately about a man who most respect.
That may be well and proper, but it wasn't particularly informative.

Located in Portugal, is a retreat treat. Known for its shocking good times. Visitors here, experience scary encounters at the Quinta Nova da Assuncao mansion, near Lisbon. They don’t know what to expect next.
Quinta Nova da Assuncao mansion
This location, provides a rather ominous background to scare folks who frequent here. The actors that have worked here, have mentioned seeing actual apparitions while being here at night. This mansion plays tricks with your eyes and ears it seems. Perhaps this location really is haunted after all.
Lisbon’s Metropolitan Area, represents around 3 million people (around 27% of the country’s population). It is the 11th most populated urban area, within the European Union.
Those daring enough to enter the mansion during this fright fest, will be greeted by an eerily empty house. Sounds of doors randomly shutting, moving shadows and live action actors, take center stage. Shrieking screams of terror, can later can be heard as crowds gather around.
Fright in Quinta Nova da Assuncao mansion
The Portuguese theatre company known as Reflexo are responsible for almost all of the frights. The location is now known as “Casa Assombrada” which means “Haunted House”. This immersive experience, leads groups of 25 through the house by using an audio guide. People are often seen staggering through, holding hands or onto one another as they brace for the next scary moment to happen.
Riddles and rumors lead people to other rooms, as some people are left fleeing in tears of terror. Some people, quite literally leave before making it to the end of the show. They have been seen running as fast as they can, to the front door exit.
Quinta Nova da Assuncao mansion actress
The entire production has been running since last June at the house which has been empty for the last several years. It seems they are putting it to good use. Visitors continue to pour in from the village of Belas, for a frightful freaky experience.
“Normally what you see is the scary actor running through corridors … It’s not like this. You don’t see the things, you are not sure if you are seeing things,” said director Michel Simeao. “It’s a very intense experience.”

Between the two objects in question is a telegraph pole. On the pole is a 3 digit number in white.
A: What is the first number divided by 2?
B: What is the middle number?
C: What is the middle number divided by the first number?
Then concentrate on the postbox
D: Look at the postbox number - LS20 ?9?D - add the two missing numbers together.
E = B
F: Look at the very bottom of the postbox information plate and find this CP?D, what is the missing number?
Using the above information use the following formulae to work out the cache coordinates.

Her Excellency Dilma Rousseff,
President of Brazil
Brasilia, BRAZIL
Dear President Rousseff,
We are writing to share Human Rights Watch’s serious concerns regarding the counterterrorism bill approved by Congress on February 24, 2016. The bill contains overbroad and vague language that will endanger basic human rights such as freedom of association and expression in Brazil. We urge you therefore to veto the entire draft law.
While we understand that by introducing the original draft bill in Congress your government sought to comply with the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, the current version of the bill is not consistent with international human rights standards.
The United Nations General Assembly has urged countries to “ensure that their laws criminalizing acts of terrorism are…formulated with precision.”[1] Similarly, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has warned that laws that prescribe “a comprehensive definition of terrorism that is inexorably overbroad and imprecise” violate the principle of legality.[2] According to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, “definitions of crimes must clearly describe the criminalized conduct, establishing its elements, and the factors that distinguish it from other forms of conduct that are either not punishable or punishable with non-criminal measures.”[3]
The bill approved by Congress, 2016-F from 2015, does not meet this standard. Article 2 of the bill defines terrorism acts as those carried out “for reasons of xenophobia, discrimination or prejudice based on race, color, ethnicity and religion; when committed with the purpose of creating social terror or generalized terror; [and] endangering a person, property, the public peace or public safety.”
Although there is no universally established definition of terrorism in international law, international standards provide that the term should not be used to criminalize acts that lack the elements of intent to cause death or serious bodily injury, or the taking of hostages.[4] Yet, the bill does precisely that, by defining as “terrorist” acts that expose people or property “to danger” without requiring a showing of intent to cause bodily harm. Moreover, “endangering” a person or property, “public peace,” and “public safety” are vague concepts that are not defined in the draft law. A person convicted of one of these vaguely-defined terrorist acts would face between 12 and 30 years in prison, even if no injury or death occurred or was threatened.
In cases of serious bodily injury, the penalty would increase by one third, and in cases of death, by one-half.
Under Article 2 of the bill, damaging any public or private property, and “taking over” various sites, including schools and bank offices, can be considered terrorist acts. This broad provision also does not specify any requirement that those actions involve an intent to cause death or serious bodily injury. Brazil already has laws in place to protect against offenses such as unlawful trespass and criminal damage, which carry penalties including prison terms of up to three years if there is damage to property.
Article 3 establishes the crime of “promoting,” “forming,” “joining” or “aiding” terrorist organizations without providing a definition of what constitutes a “terrorist organization.” The crime is punishable with a prison sentence of five to eight years. Given the bill’s overbroad definition of “terrorism” this provision could be used against peaceful advocacy groups.
Article 4 establishes the crime of “advocating” terrorism without any explanation of what “advocating” entails. The crime carries a prison sentence of four to eight years, which can be increased by up to two-thirds if it is committed on the internet. Consequently, an individual who makes a comment on social media that could be interpreted as supporting a terrorist could potentially face up to 13 years in prison. Such a broad provision threatens freedom of expression.[5]
Article 5 makes it a crime to carry out “actions in preparation” of a terrorist act, without any explanation of what type of actions those may be. This crime carries a prison sentence of six to 23 years. Combined with the overly-broad definition of “terrorism,” this provision could make it possible for the state to prosecute and impose a severe penalty on people who engage in legitimate protest activity.
The bill does include an important safeguard in article 2 that states that its definition of terrorism does not apply to political demonstrations, social movements, unions, and religious and professional movements that engage in the defense of “constitutional rights, guarantees, and freedoms.” However, this clause would be open to interpretation by judges, who might rule that a legitimate cause promoted by a group does not fit this category and the group is therefore not protected from the other overly broad provisions of article 2. In addition, the safeguard does not apply to acts which are not described in article 2, such as “advocating” terrorism or carrying out “actions in preparation” of a terrorist act.
In sum, by failing to narrowly define the scope of the acts it criminalizes, the proposed terrorism draft law does not provide sufficient precision and clarity so that its application is foreseeable, or allow people to regulate their conduct with certainty to comply.
Thank you for your attention to this very important matter.

How long did he get? The length of time is going to be a big component in how things turn out. Obviously it is a very emotional time for you both and any decision you make should be done with a lot of thought and contemplation. Of course the support can be through sending books, magazines, letters and photos. The more photos you send (of yourself), the closer your bond will be. If you do though, recognize what it's doing for or to, you both. You can do this if it's in your heart. If you are feeling guilty, that will only last a few months before that wears off and you are over it. It's gonna be tough on you either way. Please let us know if you have other thoughts you'd care to share.

Lorenzo Tanos
Scientists are fascinated by what looks to be a historic first – a fully-preserved dinosaur tail in amber that also includes bones, soft tissue, and the creature's feathers.
According to National Geographic, this isn't the first time that dinosaur feathers were preserved in amber and later discovered. But this marks the first time that researchers have been able to link intact preserved feathers with a specific species of dinosaur. And it could lead to a much greater understanding of how dinosaur feathers evolved over time.
The dinosaur tail is believed to be 99 million years old, dating back to the mid-Cretaceous era. It was described as being similar in size and shape to a dried apricot, and measures about 1.4 inches in length, with a chestnut brown hue and a "pale or white" underside. The researchers claim that the fossil represents one of the earliest points of divergence between dinosaur feathers and those of flying birds.
Study co-author Ryan McKellar of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum told the Christian Science Monitor about the peculiarities in the preserved dinosaur tail's feathers that made them so different from modern feathers.
"In this specimen, we're seeing barbs that are looking like they're branching off of each other."
As the dinosaur tail came with articulated vertebrae, that eliminated the chance that it belonged to an early bird. As National Geographic noted, modern birds and their ancestors from the Cretaceous era had pygostyles, or fused vertebrae in their tails that allowed unified movement in the tail feathers. McKellar describes the pygostyle as a feature that "you (may have seen) if you've ever prepared a turkey."
Given the lack of definition in the rachis and its peculiar design, the researchers concluded that the dinosaur tail feathers are "more similar to modern ornamental feathers" to those designed for flight. As mentioned above, flight feathers have better feature definition in the rachis, barbs, and barbules, optimizing them for the birds that carry them.
The researchers believe that if the dinosaur tail was completely covered with the type of feathers found preserved in the amber, that would have prevented the coelurosaur from flying. McKellar said that the feathers, if not used for flight, may have been used for temperature regulation, or "served a signaling function."
In all, the new study on the dinosaur tail and its feathers is consistent with an evolution model created in the 1990s by Yale University ornithologist Richard Prum.
According to the Christian Science Monitor, Prum theorized that there are five stages in feather evolution, starting with a mere filament in stage 1, and moving on to stage 2, which includes multiple filaments, also known as barbs. Once at stage 3, the model diverges, with stage 3a representing a rachis with barbs extending off it, and stage 3b featuring smaller barbules, but no rachis. This combines to form stage 3a+b later on, including feathers with a rachis, barbs, and barbules. And once at stage 4 and stage 5, the barbules become more complex and similar to those on today's birds of flight.

"I watch the monsters day in and day out. They never notice me the lowly human. But I watch them. I know them. I know their weaknesses, their strengths, their desires. They don't think anybody could ever figure it out. Ha! One only has to watch and listen to see what is really going on. Of course nobody watches. And nobody pays attention to the dying girl. The girl that is quiet and mousey, the girl that doesn’t say two words unless she is in class or spoken too. No nobody notices the dying girl. And because of that I can watch them. Study the monsters. And learn how to kill them. I don't have the strength to kill them. To get rid of the evil that plagues this town. But I hope that some day that humanity won't be lost to them. I hope that some day that someone will have the strength to take them down. But I watch. That is all I can do. Watch and record. And now I want to share this all with you. Share with you how I came to find out how things go bump in the night. And the stories of Monster University."
Rachael sat and watched the new students. Rachael was a professional student. She choose this life because she was dying. She always knew she would die young. Terminal Genetic Conditions. She snorted. People ignored her. She was always quiet. Afraid of trying to find friends. Afraid of falling in love. Why do so when you are just going to leave them? Even her parents were distant after she was diagnosed at the age of eight. Two years later her very healthy baby brother and sister were born. They were the only ones she really cared about in life anyways. She always made sacrifices for her brother and sister. They were her life. She gave them everything that she refused to give anybody else. Because of that most people thought she was lost in her head a lot. Her books, her stories, her writings and musings. The fact that she refused to get a job even with her numerous degrees. But really she was watching. Observing. Writing what she saw. And as the new students moved in and the town got a new bar, a new restaurant, new businesses... okay let's be honest it wasn't that strange. They were a college town and people moved in and out all the time. Sometimes families moved to be with their kids; sometimes people moved to try to make a go of a business in a college town that would have a lot of people for at least eight of the twelve months of the year. The bonus with this town is that it was very, very close to the larger towns in the state. And was considered a larger town itself. So even 'seasonal' businesses could make a go of things year round.
One day Rachael was helping with the registrations. And she noticed some strange behavior in a group of kids. Now it was a college campus and strange and abnormal behavior were generally normal. But some of these kids were speaking as if they were misplaced out of time. They dressed as if they looked into a catalog and just choose to mimic what the model was wearing. So Rachael did what Rachael did best and observed them. She watched them every day and started to eavesdrop in on their conversations. She started to write down everything. She started to list everything. She discovered the truth not long after they all started. They never noticed her and talked around her. They were monsters! Vampires, werewolves, mummies, zombies, undead killers they were all real! What could she do?
She knew she could never fight these monsters. Instead, she stayed in the shadows. She documented the monsters. She watched them day in and day out. She was dying and they killed to live. It made her made. It pissed her off. She watched them kill to live. She watched them kill for sport. She watched them laugh about it. She watched them live life when she would die. She vowed somehow that people would know their stories. Their weaknesses and their powers and their rituals; so that one-day people could rise up and bring them down. She wrote these stories and hid them when she was finished. She followed them. She got to know them. She probably knew them better than they knew each other at times. This went on for months. She would put the pieces together. And being a woman who was used to being in the shadows she knew how to stay hidden.
One day Rachael had just finished documenting the last of the monsters in town. She found the rituals they had to perform. Their weaknesses. And their strengths. She wrote them in the forms of short stories. She left the bank to be surrounded by the very monsters she had been hunting. She had messed up just a few days before. She had known it too. She had gotten so angry that one of the women was so bored with life that she was just going through the motions. That she kept doing her rituals only so she wouldn't have to pay the price of burning in hell. She yelled at her when she went to the bar to watch one of the last monsters. She had yelled that she wished that she could live. That she had the opportunity that the soul sucking monster she was had but she was dying. She messed up and quickly finished her documents. She had too. Her will stated to publish them. To publish them as fiction so that way people would read them. But those who were smart, those who could put the pieces together, that they would understand that they were while. And maybe one day hunt them down and destroy them all.
Now she stood surrounded by them. Taken into a back alley into the city. She swallowed. She took a deep breath. She closed her eyes for she knew her time had come. She asked one thing. "Let my parents bury my body..." She whispered as her world went black.

The Monster Within
The Monster Within

I flip the channels on the television. I am sick of all these black and white monster movies. They were big in the 1940’s. Now that was a time to live in for a monster. They started to romanticize us; I had a blast. I miss those days. Where I could at least be myself; until they started to romanticize the monsters, we were hunted. And a hunt is how I ended up the monster I am. This is my story.
“Henry,” my wife called out to me. “Lord Baron is at the door.”
I looked up from my journal. I couldn’t stand that man, but he was the leader of our little group of monster hunters. “Coming, love.” I stood up from my desk and threw my journal in the drawer locking it.
“Henry! Old man, how are you?” Lord Baron greeted me as I walked into the drawing room.
“Jacob.” I said in a way of greeting. “What has caused the pleasure of your company?”
“Heard about a monster or two, werewolves I think. I am not sure if it is only one or two, but it seems like a lot of death for just one.”
“They are nasty things to hunt during the full moon cycle. Do we have an idea who their mortal host is?”
“No.” Jacob stated simply as the maid set down our tea tray, a tray I knew would sit untouched, but it was the proper thing to offer.
“How about a nice brandy?”
I knew he would ask, so I walked to the bar and poured him a good portion. “Here you are.” I stated and sat down across from him.
“So when do you want to start the hunt?”
“Tomorrow night is the first night of the full moon.”
“Fine. You contact the others?”
“Of course. How is that little project to try to increase our strength going?”
“I am going to test it on myself later.”
“Shouldn’t you try it on a servant first?”
“Should the servants really have that much strength if it works?” I said, though I was a fair boss and didn’t believe my help was below myself, I didn’t want to endanger their lives, however Lord Baron thought otherwise.
“Fair point. Let me know how it goes.” Jacob finished his brandy and stood up to leave.
I stood with him. “Jacob, until tomorrow.” I stated and showed him out.
“What did he want?” My wife asked.
“Love, just business. We are going to have a meeting tomorrow night. I won’t be back until late.”
“I hate your meetings.”
“I know, but they must happen.” I kissed my wife’s check and retreated back to my study.
I pulled out my journal once more and started to look over my notes. I had brewed the formula yesterday, and let it set. It was a moment of truth. A moment that would have defined our hunting expeditions.
I drank it. At first nothing happened and then a burning sensation traveled through me. It threw me to the ground; I thought I for sure was going to die. But I didn’t. I stood up. Nothing about me had changed. I was upset. I tried to pick up the desk but could not; that meant the last three months were for naught. I would have to start from scratch again another day.
The next night I took my horse and rode off to meet up with Jacob and the rest of the group of hunters. When I got there they were all there looking quite worried, the town had already been destroyed by the monsters. The moon wasn’t even up fully yet. What type of being were we dealing with? “What happened?” I asked.
“We do not know. The moon isn’t even high in the sky.” Jacob responded.
“What are we dealing with?”
“A monster of the likes we have never seen before.” An older man came up to us.
“Lord Earle.” I said in way of a greeting.
“Henry, my man. Did your potion work?”
“Richard, it did not I am afraid. It is back to the beginning.”
“Pity. I have a feeling we could have used it with this beast.”
“Well, let’s get to it.” Jacob stated and mounted his horse.
We rode in silence. It seemed like days, but only hours before we heard the howl. We knew that it was only a matter of time before it was upon us. We jumped off our horses and prepared for the beast. We waited only moments but it felt an eternity.
The beast came into the clearing, and I gasped. It was huge. It was larger than any wolf we had hunted before; about three times the size! Its teeth dripped with blood, it walked on hind legs like a man, but was quick. Before I could figure out what had happened he had Byron and Richard both on the ground at its feet. Their throats were ripped from them, and they chocked on their own blood.
I was upset. So upset that the feeling of death came over me, just like the day before when I had taken my potion. The next thing I knew was blackness. When I awoke the next day I lay in a pool of blood. The bodies of all the hunters as well as a new body, which must have been the wolf, lay dismembered and scattered around me. There was blood on my hands, in my mouth, and in my hair, all round me there was blood.
I stood and discovered I was naked. I quickly grabbed a blood stained coat and ran. The horses were even killed. I could do nothing but run. I ran all the way back to town. I ran to my house and threw myself into my study. I had no idea what happened. No clue but I knew I would be labeled a coward. Because I had lived.
I stayed in my office for days. I only came out to eat with my wife. Soon Lord Baron’s nephew and heir came to see me. I answered the door. “Lord Baron.” I said as a greeting.
“Lord Jekyll.” He came into my foyer, and removed his coat. “I came to talk about what happened to my uncle. I take it you were injured which is why you haven’t came out with the rest of the hunters.”
“Yes. Please come with me to the drawing room. We can discuss it there.” I walked into the drawing room and right to the bar. I poured both of us a large brandy. “Here you are Lord Baron.”
“Thank you Sir.” He said and accepted the drink; he took a large drink before speaking.
I sat down across from him and waited. I was unsure of what he would say.
“I will get to the point. You are the only one that lived. What happened?”
“The wolf was larger than any we had ever seen. It was about three times the size. It walked upon hind legs. It attacked. I ran to attack it, upon seeing Jacob and Richard killed. The next thing I knew I woke up in a pool of blood.”
“Why did it let you live?”
“We were able to kill it somehow. I don’t know when or how.”
“It is interesting that you were the only one that lived. Especially since you tested your concoction on yourself that night my uncle came to tell you about the hunt.”
“I don’t like you implication.”
“You don’t have to coward.”
“I am no coward.” My blood began to boil. I, again, felt death upon me. Before I knew it my world had gone black, the last thing I heard was a scream.
I came too just hours later. I lay quite nude in my drawing room. Blood and body parts all around me once more, and worse my wife stood in the doorway. “Love?”
“Mr. Edward Hyde says to congratulate you on finding a woman such as me.” She stated.
“Mr. Hyde?”
“He said that was his name. The monster you became.”
“I… A monster?”
“Yes. You killed Lord Baron when he called you a coward.”
“Well, you did not this Mr. Hyde did. But he is really you…”
I just stared at my wife. At that moment I knew that I had made a mistake. In an attempt to play god, God had turned me into the very thing I hated… A monster…
“We will return after these messages.” The announcer states bringing me back to the present. I sigh. My love had long since passed. She had lived a normal mortal life, by my side. She loved me no matter the monster I became. She was the last person to truly accept Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as one in the same.
I turn off the television. It is playing the 1940’s version of the movie based upon a romanticized version of my life. My friend Sir Stevenson had written my life as a short story and found his fame. I sigh and know that one day Mr. Hyde will be back and there was nothing I can do to stop him… Nothing I want to do to stop him… I have finally embraced the monster within…

Sleeping Death
Sleeping Death
All Rights Reserved
Katherine Rochholz
Once upon at time there was a vain Queen and King, they had a child who was as pretty as can be. They hired three witches to bless the child with beauty, grace and pose.
But there was a fourth witch that was not invited. She came to the christening and gave this proclamation. “This beauty, Briar Rose, shall have her beauty, grace and pose, as long as her heart beats within her chest. The moment her heart stops beating, she will lose all three. Her body however shall never die!” The witch then bent and kissed the sleeping beauty on the head.
She turned on her heel and disappeared from the castle, she left to ponder who words, what they meant. The Queen bent and picked up her child; they found the note left by the witch. “Briar Rose shall prick her finger on a spinning wheel on her eighteenth birthday. That prick shall stop her heart from beating, bringing about the curse I have placed upon her.”
The Queen and King were worried about the curse, though they did not know exactly what it meant; did not know how her heart would stop beating but her body would not die? So they sent the baby to live with the three witches they had hired to make sure of their daughter’s beauty, grace and pose.
The years went by and the young Briar Rose grew up with a normal childhood, never once told that she was the heir to a mighty kingdom, which meant that one day she shall be Queen. She grew up as Twila, the ever loving peasant girl, who had the beauty of a queen.
On the morning of her eighteenth birthday she went upon her day as she normally would have; she got up and picked flowers, feed the animals, and went about her day. The witches, that were in charges of raising her, went to her after lunch as they needed to fit her for her new gown. One that was fit for a princess; as she was now of age, she would now go home and become the princess the land needed, it was time to return to the world of royalty.
They did the fitting and left to get some much needed supplies for the birthday celebration that was to happen that night. After all it would be her last night with them and they felt the depressed at that very thought.
Well they were gone; the other witch took her opportunity to lead young Twila to the spindle of her curse. With a bit of magic, she had Twila follow a small bird to the spindle that spun on its own accord, it weaved a string that was black as sin.
The witch used the bird, and spoke in a soft tone, she instructed Twila to prick her finger on the spindle needle. Which, of course, the young princess did, without hesitation. In that very moment her heart stopped beating. She fell to the floor. The three witches appeared instantly, but were too late to stop what had happened. Instead they froze time, they froze her and the kingdom in an endless sleep, that could only be undone by true loves first kiss. So they protected the sleeping kingdom until they could find a cure for the curse on the young princess, however they never found one. For many years, many decades, the kingdom was frozen in time. Many princes to come ‘save’ the sleeping princess, however the witches prevented anybody from reaching the sleeping princess, thus they left her in the frozen state.
One day a prince from a far away kingdom heard of the sleeping kingdom and thought of the land to be gained from such a union. So he set out across he many lands to get to the kingdom. Once there he faced the three witches, the first put up a field of knifes and spikes, that had to be carefully navigated, and could not be torn down. However this Prince, upon his birth, had been blessed by witches of his own kingdom, with the smarts, and a sword that could cut down any object within its path. He cut through the maze of blades, and made it to the second task set froth by the witches.
He reached a room of fire. The flames would burn through anything. The witches were sure that the prince would never make it through. However, also upon his birth, he was given a shield that would protect him from any supernatural danger. It allowed him to cross the flames of the witches’ passions. It allowed him to face the third and final task.
A monster of the worse sorts, part dragon, part Griffin, colored the deepest of blues with eyes the color of a sunset. A creature that was sure to kill the prince. The prince knew he would defeat it. He was gifted strength, brains and pride upon his birth. He fought though the flames of the creature dodged the spikes upon its tail, evaded the razor sharp teeth that tried to chop down on him, but in the end his sword met the creature’s heart, and it turned to dust.
The three witches looked on in shock as he stood by the bedside of the cursed Princess Briar Rose and he leaned down and kissed her. The moment the kiss ended, she awoke. But she was no longer human, her pale skin, had long ago shrunk. Her beauty she once held was gone; in its place was death. The prince’s kiss had broken the spell which froze time, but not the curse.
The Princess opened her eyes, she got up and then Briar Rose did the unthinkable. She attacked the prince! She bit him. He stabbed her with his sword, but still she came at him. He ran from her, and fell down the stars and broke his neck. The witches waited, their breaths held. They waited to see what would happen now as the undead Briar Rose started to move. Her beauty, her grace, and her pose all gone from her once lovely soul. She did not grow up royal; yet she is the one that paid for the sins of her parents.
The witches watched as the prince’s body also started to move. The curse had extended itself to her victims. The witches watched as Briar Rose set the neck of her undead prince and they went off together, to wreak havoc among their kingdom.
The Queen locked herself in her chambers and cried out in pain as she watched her kingdom become the kingdom of the undead. She cried out to the witch that placed the curse upon her daughter, the one they didn’t invite because of her views of the world. “Hekate! Come to me! I beg you! Come to me! Make me a deal!” The Queen needed to stop the pain of her soul, the pain of seeing her daughter as a zombie. Her soul was drowning in the pain.
“You called Queen Emma?” Hekate appeared.
“Make me a deal! Anything! Reverse your curse! Allow my daughter a life full of happy ever afters.”
“You put you and your family above your people. You hired witches to bless your children, though you know it curses another! You make sure your children know all the comforts of life, while your people go hungry, while they freeze, they know all the hardness and pain, while you and your children know only comfort and joy! And you have the nerve to ask me to reverse the curse? To reset time?”
“Yes! Please I will do anything!” The Queen begged.
“Fine. I will reset time on these conditions and these alone! One, the child will be raised far from you. She shall be raised a poor child, that way when she is queen she will be fair. Two, no longer will you hire the witches to bless the children of royalty. Instead each child born in the kingdom will be bestowed one blessing and one hardship to overcome. And last but not least, your life for hers. You shall die in her place. It is the only way I can reverse time. I need to balance the universe. I took her soul, her life, so yours will be the price to save hers.” Hekate said with a sneer, sure the Queen would not take the offer.
The Queen looked out the window and watched as her daughter took a spoon and scooped out a heart from some poor soul and watched as she ate it. She could not bear this pain. Death would be welcomed for a chance her daughter would live. “Deal.”
Hekate was in shock. “So be it!” Hekate snapped her fingers and time reversed, the conditions now set in blood and soul.
“King Richard! You have a beautiful baby girl! Briar Rose! She was gifted with grace, but cursed with the inability to sing.”
“Fantastic!” The King said with a smile.
“But my King, we regret to inform you the Queen has died in child birth…”
“My wife is gone…?”
“She looked at her daughter and said ‘For you my life.” Then she decreed that she shall be raised by the three witches away from the kingdom until her eighteenth birthday, when she will marry and she said she shall become the queen she never was, then she passed, sir.”
“Then may her wishes be fulfilled.” The King stated and walked way from the servant and his daughter, who would never know the curse once bestowed upon her… | https://www.katherinerochholz.com/2016/09/ | dclm-gs7-054020035 |

Last night, the US blog, Calculated Risk, had an interesting argument about whether or not “event” shocks have a different effect on consumer psychology than do more enduring economic shocks. He produced the following table to make the point that the recent debt-ceiling debacle was an event-driven blow to confidence that is likely to be fleeting:
This is an important question. In the normal run of things, I would agree that such an episode is unlikely to do lasting damage to consumption patterns. But, as a part of a broadening pattern of policy failure, I wonder if the event, in tandem with the downgrade and increased equities volatility, won’t have a more lasting effect.
Anyways, I thought it might be an interesting excersize to ask a similar question for Australia. Here, for starters, is the history of consumer confidence:
The most obvious observation we can make here is that recessions do by far the deepest and most enduring damage to consumer psychology. Beyond that, it’s probably fair to observe that the three other outstanding events that had some sort of recognisable impact on confidence were the ’97 Asian Financial Crisis, the 2000 NASDAQ rout and 2004 housing correction.
Now, let’s have a look at each in terms of retail sales. Here is a long term chart of retail sales per capita (h/t Cameron Murray):
As you can see, not all shocks are created equal. The two big stock markets shocks of the past twenty five years, Black Monday 1987, and the Tech Wreck of 2000 left very little mark on consumption patterns (despite the deep impact on confidence).
On the other hand, offshore financial crises do seem to have a nasty and lingering effect on consumption patterns, going by the 1990 recession and banking crisis, as well as the Asian Financial Crisis and the Global Financial Crisis.
I think it’s fair also to suggest that housing corrections also have a greater effect on consumption than do stock market shocks, going by 2004. And that is consistent. Threats to banks and house prices go hand in hand.
None of this is terribly forensic. There are myriad variables at work around each of the shocks I’ve cited. But it does offer the hope the that recent stock plunge and further collapse in consumer confidence recorded last week won’t necessarily impact consumption all that much.
The ongoing housing melt and European financial crisis are another matter.

1. you say:
I wonder if the event, in tandem with the downgrade and stock crash, won’t have a more lasting effect
I wont endorse the use of the word ” stock crash” . I reserve those 2 words for the fall in stock markets- englobo on 19th and 20th October 1987.
Inexperienced, cub reporters in mainstream media may use the words for effect but I am surprised to see them used in this enlightened forum .
Increased volatility is far more tolerable..and accurate.. I suggest.
2. I think housing corrections have much bigger impact on Australians that stockmarket corrections, hence the all pervading gloom around the country at the moment.
Having said that, a lot more people are invested in equities (via super and directly) than in 1987 or the turn of the century. There are a lot more boomers approaching retirement today as well, and big drops in super balances (and house prices) have a big impact on boomers consumption patterns.
• The ASX equities market capitalisation is about $1.3 trillion and Super aside Australian households have fairly limited exposure to equities.
Figures I’ve seen quoted vary, but the Aussie housing stock is valued somewhere between $3 trillion and $4 trillion. And with about 70% of Australia’s adult population being homeowners Australian households have a much higher exposure to falls in housing than equities (for simplicity’s sake I’m conveniently ignoring Super).
I see more potential for the negative wealth effect to hit the Australian economy from modest falls in house prices as opposed to full on stockmarket crashes.
• As a non-economist chap I lke your argument and I think your right.
Safe as H*****?! they may say in the future!
3. I think Calculated Risk has cause and effect backwards for 4 of the “event shocks” listed. All “events” except Katrina and 9/11 were caused of preceding declines in social mood/consumer psychology. | https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2011/08/the-shocks-that-matter/ | dclm-gs7-054060035 |

DNA section biased[edit]
The text in the DNA analyis is misleading
"Despite this, tests comparing the genetic profiles of northern Han, southern Han and southern natives determined that haplogroups O1b-M110, O2a1-M88 and O3d-M7, which are prevalent in southern natives, were only observed in some southern Hans (4% on average), but not in northern Hans. "
This would imply the paternal contribution of southern natives is only 4% when this is far from the truth. Y-DNA O1 (all subclades) is very common in (and perhaps more associated with) Dai populations. It is also very common in southern Chinese. Y-DNA O-P201 is very common in southern natives and is very common in Guangdong. There are many subclades of Y-DNA O1, O2 and O3 shared by both Dai and Han alike. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

@Ganbaruby: Thanks. Would it be OR to simply assert so on Wikipedia? There's practically no source which would suggests so, given the very fact that no such data is collected in censuses and there is no survey on this. (talk) 12:41, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Indonesian Chinese[edit]
The official figure for Indonesian Chinese is only 2.8 million. Why do people use unsubstantiated figures?
The unsubstantiated figures for other countries would be also higher and it will all be a mess.
This wikipedia Indonesian Chinese figure has been changed many times in the past. Please follow official figure from Indonesian government which is 2.8 million.

Singaporean Chinese[edit]
A lot of the times, people are confused between the words citizens and residents. The residents in Singapore shouldn't be counted because they are citizens of other countries especially Malaysia and China. If they are counted , you are artificially double counting in their home country and Singapore.
Singapore Chinese citizens is around 75.9 or 76% of the total citizens as of 2020 census.

Is there any statistics on how many of them are Han (or belong to one of the sociolinguistic (sub)groups of Han)? (talk) 12:26, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
Any breakdown figures on how many would be non-Han within the "Others" grouping under the table titled "Population Profile of Singaporean Chinese Subgroups"? (talk) 11:40, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Singaporeans are citizenships/ nationalities, but Han Chinese is a ethnic group which does not belong to certain nation. There are many Chinese immigrants in Singapore indeed, but the population of citizenship alone shows over 75% local people with Chinese decent, which is already excluded the immigrants. (talk) 18:56, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Against the disruptive editing made above by (LVTW) in the last month changing it like 20 times without consensus being formed. Before consensus is reached the table should be kept at the October 29 form before (LVTW) made disruptive changes. Taekhosong (talk) 19:20, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Again, let me stress again the reason why singporean Chinese is not region with significant population is that it is NOT a region with Han Chinese significant in BOTH number and percentage. The only two regions meeting the above criteria are PRC and ROC. That’s why the page has been like this way long before you started this edit. Thanks. Taekhosong (talk) 19:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Then I would just bring my first response over here again... Han Chinese, as a ethnic group, the race, the ethnicity, not nationality as "Chinese people", which does not restrict to certain nationalities or defined by the politics, if you refer it to certain region or specific nationality then there is already an article called "Chinese People". The context also mentioned that Singapore has a majority (over 75 %) of ethnic Chinese group[1][2][3] along with the other two, also the main article of Singapore indicates the information clearly, and the title indicates the definition clearly as "Regions with significant population". Worth to note, I never regard Singapore as a "Chinese nation", but itself indeed is a nation with ethnic Chinese/ Han Chinese forming the majority of population, which is pure fact; This is your own problem keeping on confusion between the concept of ethnicity (Han Chinese) and nationality (Chinese people). I recommend you to do some reserch for the concepts between 中国人,华人, and 汉人. Similar to the case you gave by "Koreans", they also have a concept in distinguish by " Joseonjok" and "Hanminjok", or the concept between Yamato people (ethnicity) and Japanese people (nationality). Again, please build consensus in talk page before any further reversion, thank you.LVTW2 (talk) 20:48, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
You keep bringing up I go by “regions”, and I this is how listing the distribution of a certain ethnic group works — for every ethnic group you list the population where you can find it in each country/region, which has nothing to do with nationality to begin with, it is you who confuse them and this is not a problem with me and the rest of the editors. Let me stress my point for the last time, region with significant population means two things: high in both quantity and percentage. In Singapore Han Chinese people have a majority but in quantity it falls behind many other countries, so it is not a region with significant number of Han Chinese. By your reasoning, any foreign Chinatown would have majority Han Chinese population, and should we count them too in the first panel? Not to mention not all Singaporean Chinese are Han. Taekhosong (talk) 21:25, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Your logic is funny and laughable. Are Chinatowns forming their own countries? The regions in this sense mean the individual political unit or at least a dependent territories such as Hong kong or Macau... when the heck is San Francisco Chinatown or London Chinatown being counted individually in any statics? Singapore is a sovereign city state, of course it is certain to be included as individual entry of its own. Otherwise the quantity of American Jews are more numbers than total population of Israel but how come it's not counted as "majority" or as "significant population" in the US? I doubt you really know what "majority" means? According to Collins English dictionary[4], the majority of people or things in a group is more than half of them, relative percentage among a region, not about what you said to be the total numbers or quantity. You should go back to school for redoing your math, or check a good English dictionary for the definition of "majority". LVTW2 (talk) 09:29, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
The word is “significant”, not majority. I get it, you just want to show Taiwan and Singapore are no different in Han Chinese population but they aren’t. Taiwan is part of the greater China homeland whereas Singapore is a foreign land where the Han immigrant happens to be majority Taekhosong (talk) 01:13, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
Guys, this article needs a big shuffle. First of all, this article is about a particular ethnic group called Han Chinese (汉人), not about nationalities, so no politics should get involved. Secondly, this article should align with other similar articles that focus on a particular ethnic group, see Punjabis as an example. The so-called "Overseas Chinese" section should be removed and all countries and territories should be placed under "Regions with significant populations" with their figures ranked purely by number, not percentage of total population. Finally, I would like to point out the fact that even though a lot of those overseas Chinese residing outside Greater China are believed to be Han Chinese, their exact number is unknown. Therefore, other than mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, figures for all other countries need a disclaimer attached informing the reader that these figures are approximates only. (talk) 08:03, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
Therefore, other than mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, figures for all other countries need a disclaimer attached informing the reader that these figures are approximates only. Hong Kong got no statistics on how many people are Hans, how many are Tibetans, how many are Manchus, etc. So the number of Hans among its population is unknown. The same is the case for Macau and Singapore. (talk) 14:43, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

The 1st Osterley Scout group's van disappeared from Osterley Road, Osterley , where the troupe is based, on Sunday July 3.
The vehicle was eventually discovered the following Sunday (July 10) evening in Heston , after numerous sightings of it being driven around west London with the group's name and logo emblazoned across the side.
Beavers leader Inez O'Hara thanked all those who supported the appeal to trace the vehicle, after its disappearance had placed an upcoming camping expedition in jeopardy.
But she delivered a withering message for the thief, whose identity remains unknown.
"We provide scouting for 200 young people in that area, and taking that van was denying them access to activities we run for them," she said.
'Where's your head at to steal from local children?'
"Where's your head at to steal a van in the first place, and what's more to steal it from the local children?"
Ms O'Hara said the vehicle had been hot-wired but was otherwise intact when it was recovered.
She said there had been sightings from as far afield as Wales, though that turned out to be another van.
One scout leader, who spotted the stolen vehicle and followed it around Whitton and Teddington before losing sight of it, described the driver as a grey-haired man with a bushy beard.
Ms O'Hara said the van and the scout group's other vehicles were now securely locked up.
Police said the van was reported as stolen on Thursday (July 7) and had been recovered undamaged on Sunday (July 10). A police spokeswoman said nobody had been arrested.
Ms O'Hara said the van had not been reported as stolen immediately since it was not initially clear whether or not it had been borrowed legitimately. | https://www.mylondon.news/news/west-london-news/scouts-van-thief-slammed-stealing-11598312 | dclm-gs7-054210035 |

The parents and brother of a 32-year-old developmentally disabled man killed during a confrontation with an off-duty Los Angeles police officer inside a Corona Costco expressed outrage Thursday over a grand jury decision not to indict the lawman and Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin's decision to defend the finding, without pursuing any criminal charges.
"We are extremely heartbroken," Russell French, the father of Kenneth French, told reporters during a news briefing at the Ayres Suites in Corona. "This is another blow to our family. We have lost faith in the U.S. justice system."
His wife, Paola, broke down in tears while speaking, saying the policeman, Salvador Sanchez, "clearly saw we were unarmed. He was wrong to fire 10 shots at our family."
She remembered her eldest son as "extremely caring and kind."
"It's such a sad end," she said tearfully. "We lost him. As a mom, this is the worst case. I wouldn't wish this on anyone."
The French's attorney, Dale Galipo, announced during the briefing that he would be filing a federal civil rights lawsuit against Sanchez, the Los Angeles Police Department and the city of Los Angeles.
However, he said the family had retained a second attorney who specializes in criminal law to push for inquiries by the U.S. Attorney's Office and the California Attorney General's Office, either of which could pursue criminal prosecution of Sanchez for the June 14 shooting.
Galipo said he was "not surprised" by the lack of an indictment and Hestrin's decision to forgo filing charges.
"There have been thousands of officer-involved shootings, and not one police officer has been prosecuted," the attorney said. "That's one reason why there are so many shootings. If this had been anyone other than a police officer, that individual would've been arrested and charged in 48 hours."
Galipo said that when Russell and Paola French gave testimony to the grand jury, the panel seemed to spend the majority of the time asking questions regarding their dead son's general behavior, rather than the circumstances of the shooting.
"How was the evidence presented and argued before the jury?" Galipo wondered.
He could not understand how "someone can fire 10 shots at unarmed people, wounding them in the back, and the jury could not indict on a single charge?"
Kevin French, the decedent's younger brother, said he spoke to employees at the McKinley Street Costco, and they believed his sibling had been the victim of a "cold-blooded murder."
"My entire family was unarmed," he said. "They were moving away from this officer. They had their backs turned. None of them were posing an imminent threat ... D.A. Hestrin is giving someone with a badge a permit to shoot without consequences or accountability."
Hestrin said Wednesday that he respected the grand jury's determination, emphasizing that "we had to put our passions and emotions aside and marry the facts with the law. We don't pay attention to public outcries or social media rants."
According to the D.A., evidence collected from the shooting was presented to the grand jury beginning on Sept. 9, and they announced Tuesday that no indictment would be handed down.
"I would file charges if I thought there was a problem with the process," he said. "All the evidence we had was presented to the grand jury. I stand by their decision."
Hestrin denied Sanchez has been favored with "special treatment" because he's a cop.
"This is viewed as an officer-involved shooting," he said. "Police officers have to respond (to an attack) as if they're on duty."
When Russell French first spoke to reporters on Aug. 26, he said that he had "begged (Sanchez) not to shoot," telling him, "our son is sick."
Galipo said the parents and son were moving away from the off-duty cop when he opened fire. According to Corona police Chief George Johnstone, Kenneth French was shot once in the shoulder and three times in the back. Paola French was shot in the back, and her husband was shot in the abdomen, resulting in the loss of a kidney.
Galipo said the trio had been shopping for a half-hour when they stopped at a food sample booth in the store to nibble on sausages. Why Kenneth French turned physical with Sanchez, shoving him to the floor while the off- duty officer held his 18-month-old son, is unclear, Galipo acknowledged.
He said the decedent was a diagnosed schizophrenic and nonverbal, with no history of aggression.
According to the attorney, the next opportunity to get answers as to why there was any contact will be when Sanchez is deposed for the lawsuit.
"I will get every bit of information I can," Galipo vowed. "There will be a lot of details released to the public."
Hestrin played a security surveillance videotape from the Costco that partially captured the deadly 7:45 p.m. confrontation. The clips mainly revealed the tail-end of the encounter between French and Sanchez, with the former appearing to be the aggressor, and Sanchez falling somewhere out of frame. Russell French is clearly visible, standing in front of his son to turn him back, at which point both men are struck by gunfire and collapse to the floor of the store.
According to Sanchez's attorney, David Winslow, the lawman was knocked down and briefly lost consciousness. When he awoke, he found his son next to him, screaming. The attorney said his client "had no choice but to use deadly force."
Hestrin said there was no evidence that Sanchez ever lost consciousness. The lawman was not hospitalized, and his son was not injured.
Sanchez is on paid administrative leave by the LAPD, where he has been a patrolman for seven years, most recently assigned to the Southwest Division.

Gonfreville transitions to hydroelectricity
"We are pleased to contribute to Chevron and France’s common goal of advancing a lower- carbon future by exclusively powering our facility with hydroelectricity,"
said Olivier Clavaud,
General Manager of the Gonfreville plant
Beginning January 2021, 100% of the Gonfreville l’Orcher (GV) plant’s forecasted electricity need comes from a French hydroelectric source*. Leading up to this achievement was the plant’s ISO 50001 certification in 2018. For 2018 and 2019, the facility saw a 2% reduction in its steam, electricity, compressed air, and gas consumption. In 2019, the plant implemented projects to conserve energy with tank and pipe insulation. Activities and knowledge are shared with Oronite’s Oak Point (Louisiana) and Singapore plants and are embedded in Chevron’s energy transition strategy.
* If annual consumption exceeds forecasted demand, additional energy needs may come from other sources
reducing energy consumption by over 30% since 2006
Replacement of LED light bulbs and updates to the chiller are actions that have helped lower energy consumption at the Omaezaki plant in Japan by more than 30% since 2006.
Our Omaezaki facility in Chevron Oronite Japan Limited (COJL) has made great progress reducing energy consumption. The plant has implemented a range of energy efficiency actions over the years. For example, between 2008 and 2009 the replacement of inverter compressors and high-efficiency boilers, as well as the introduction of a cooling water pump control, helped reduce the plant’s energy consumption. And between 2015 and 2016 there was an increase in boiler energy savings due to insulation of the piping and changes in the operational procedure.
The Omaezaki plant in Japan continues its trend of lowering energy consumption through its diligent practice of efficiency.
Going forward, COJL aims to reduce energy consumption annually by a rate of 1% on average via new energy efficient equipment and upgrades. Energy reduction plans are updated annually, and supply chain experts monitor progress at monthly committee meetings.
enabling automotive engine hardware changes that reduce GHG emissions
By applying modern engine technology such as downsizing, turbocharging, direct injection, and variable valve timing, OEMs can achieve about 15% greater efficiency compared with typical port fuel injected engines, while maintaining engine reliability and enhancing low-speed acceleration.
Auto manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to deliver more efficient vehicles in response to regulation and customer demand. Turbocharged, direct injection technologies are examples of reducing fuel consumption by creating smaller engines, while still delivering as much or more power than their larger predecessors. However, with these new technologies come new operating challenges. For instance, these engines operate at high loads at low engine speeds, resulting in high pressure and high temperature in the cylinders – challenges that can cause significant engine damage as a result of low speed pre-ignition (LSPI). LSPI is a condition where the fuel/air mixture ignites before the spark plug is fired, resulting in very high cylinder pressures and temperatures, possibly leading to severe and even catastrophic engine damage. Typical engine oils can be a significant contributor to LSPI, but with careful reformulation, engine oils can help significantly reduce or even eliminate the LSPI phenomenon. Oronite additive solutions for passenger car engines such as OLOA® 55516, OLOA® 55600 and OLOA® 54720, are examples of products that enable more efficient engine technology with less fuel consumption by helping reduce LSPI compared with GF-5/SN oils.
new technology used to reduce sulfonate waste
New technology has helped reduce solid byproducts of high overbased sulfonate by about 4,000 metric tons per year at this sulfonate detergent unit in Gonfreville, France.
The production of high overbased (HOB) sulfonate, a detergent used in additive packages, creates a sludge-type waste. With new technology using decanters in the production process, Oronite has been able to recycle more of the waste material, reducing the solid byproducts at its plant in Gonfreville, France, by about 4,000 metric tons per year. Previously, this sludge waste was sent off site to be incinerated. By managing the waste on site, Oronite reduced the raw material carbon footprint of sulfonate production by approximately 16 percent. Soon, this method will be extended to the carboxylate production units in both Gonfreville and Singapore to promote further waste reduction across Oronite operations.
Singapore manufacturing lauded for energy efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emission
Ongoing work to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions at our Singapore manufacturing plant was highlighted in a recent speech by the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Masagos Zulkifli, to the Singapore Parliament.
Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, cited Oronite as an example of a company that can pursue both growth and environmental sustainability, and noted that it had achieved “annualized energy savings of $1.8 million and a carbon abatement of 4,800 tonnes by installing new equipment,” according to The Straits Times article (3/20/18). “The improvements referenced included a waste heat boiler and mechanical vapor recompression system installed as part of the Carboxylate Expansion Project,” said Kathiresan Marimuthu, who was the project engineering manager. The Singapore Parliament recently passed a bill which will require all facilities producing 25,000 MT or more of greenhouse gas emissions in a year to pay a carbon tax starting in 2019.

Re: [Phys-L] Sequence
I dont believe there is research that has checked every starting point. I was certainly taking some liberties with that statement. Is there research that states kinematics the best place to start? I doubt it.

I certainly understand (and sympathize with) "you can start anywhere you want," but the real way to answer this question is through physics education research. Does the research say it is equally good to start anywhere you want?

You can start anywhere you want. What changes is the depth the related content is understood at that time and what we hand wave about at that time.
We are so used to kinematics first that we forget that students are discussing constant velocity but have "no physics understanding"* of why the thing goes at a constant velocity. We follow that with acceleration and the kids have "no physics understanding"* of why the thing accelerates. We teachers / instructors are fine with that because that is what we are used to.
Switching it to Energy First, Forces First, Momentum First, Circuits First, just changes where the hand waving is. Right now we hand wave over the discussion of net force = 0 for constant V and net force = constant for constant a.
Force first and we can hand wave over velocity a bit, but still hit, "what happens to its speed?
I don't do forces first, but I can see a real advantage to starting out with Forces in equilibrium. Structures with Fnet=0 dont change velocity.
How do you measure force? with a scale. What are their units? N or lbs. It says so on the scale. What is a Newton? It is a 1/4 pound. Go to McD's and order a Newton Burger.
All set for forces.
I don't remember who mentioned it, but I really like starting with Newton's third law. We use N3L in TONS & TONS of free body diagrams but hand wave through it.
Why does the car go forward, the person able to walk, the helicopter able to hover, the airplane able to move forward... We use generic terms like thrust. In my opinion, that is missing a HUGE spot to grow their understanding of physics. Do N3L first, and all the fbd can actually be pretty acurate and fictionless (no R).
Have a good one.
*no physics understanding because some kids will feel they know what is going on, but they usually are the prior-conceptions that need to be cleaned up.

On Behalf of | Dec 29, 2020 | Family Law |
It is most common to have a joint parenting situation after a divorce. Even once you sign the divorce paperwork, if you have children with your ex-spouse you will be partners with them in this for the rest of your lives.
The good news is that there are multiple ways to have a happy family and comfortable living arrangements post-divorce. One non-traditional living arrangement that is becoming more popular is nesting. Nesting involves the children staying in the same house while the parents move in and out taking care of them like parent birds with babies, according to Psychology Today.
Why would we want to do this?
A very common reason families decide to nest is cost. Particularly if the family home is in a very expensive area, there is the possibility of the parents not being able to maintain households in that neighborhood as single entities. If the parents decide that they want to keep the children in the same school system with the same friends, they may decide to combine their incomes and nest after divorce.
Nesting is also relatively common at the beginning of divorce. Often at this stage the parents want space from each other, but they also do not want to prematurely disrupt their children’s lives. Thus, nesting becomes a stopgap.
How long does nesting last?
In some situations, nesting has lasted until the kids are old enough to move out on their own. However, this is less common. It is more common for nesting to be temporary until the adults move on and start their own households and lives. | https://www.planerlawfirm.com/blog/2020/12/nesting-is-an-option-post-divorce/ | dclm-gs7-054420035 |

Arin Rungjang (born 1975, Bangkok; lives and works in Bangkok) is known for deftly revisiting historical material, overlapping major and minor narratives across multiple times, places, and languages. His interest lies in lesser-known aspects of Thai history and their intersection with the present in the sites and contexts of his practice. Objects, which can draw together distant events across time and space, are central to his investigations. He has a practice that spans different media and often involves video and site-specific installation. In his exploration of history and everyday life experiences he artfully dissects material and revisits master-narratives through the agency of small events.
Recent exhibitions include Oblivion, Nova Contemporary, Bangkok, Thailand (2021); Ravisara, DAAD Galerie, Berlin, Germany (2020); Arin Rungjang: They Beat Your Father, ShanghART Singapore, Singapore (2019); Spectrosynthesis II - Exposure of Tolerance: LGBTQ in SEA, Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre, Bangkok, Thailand (2019); Bengawan Solo, Portikus, Germany (2018); SUNSHOWER: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia 1980s to Now, Mori Art Museum and The National Art Center, Japan (2017); Mongkut, Satellite 8 Programme, Maison d’Art Bernard Anthonioz, Paris and CAPC Musée d'art contemporain, Bordeaux, France (2015); APB Foundation Signature Art Prize, Singapore Art Museum, Singapore (2014).

This isn't a huge surprise, but it's great news for Matthew Vaughn and those who are interested in a seriously violent adaptation of Mark Millar's comic series. Just a week ago we heard that three studios were vying for distribution rights to Kick-Ass, which adapts Millar's comic of the same name. Now a press release confirms that the film will bear the Lionsgate banner. Since the project in question has been called 'teenage Tarantino' and is anticipated as much for its level of (er) kick-assery than anything else, distribution by the studio that brings us Saw makes a lot of sense.
Variety's piece doesn't offer as many more details other than the deal is "big" and that Lionsgate has committed to a wide release of the film in 2010. With Vaughn essentially holding all the bargaining chips in this arrangement, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Lionsgate making a big marketing push for this film come next year.
Universal and Paramount were the other two studios interested in the film, but it's hard to see how either one would have put the energy behind the film that will be necessary to make it a success. Granted, Lionsgate didn't do so well last year with a couple of violent, under the radar movies: Punisher and Midnight Meat Train, but there's a huge gulf between those two b-pictures (both of which I quite liked, as it goes) and a new effort from the very promising Matthew Vaughn.
Kick-Ass was one of the most audacious and pleasantly surprising pieces of footage we saw at San Diego Comic-Con 2009. As discussed on this week's episode of the /Filmcast, the film was completely independently financed and Vaughn really took a lot of chances with his depictions of violence and youth. Here are the salient bits of the press release:
LIONSGATE, the leading next generation studio, announced today that it has acquired U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to KICK-ASS, the hotly anticipated action-comedy from writer/director Matthew Vaughn (LAYER CAKE, STARDUST). Based on the groundbreaking, best-selling comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., KICK-ASS stars Nicolas Cage (the upcoming SEASON OF THE WITCH, KNOWING, NATIONAL TREASURE), rising star Aaron Johnson (the upcoming NOWHERE BOY), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (SUPERBAD) and Chloe Moretz ((500) DAYS OF SUMMER). The screenplay is written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman. The producers are Matthew Vaughn, Brad Pitt, Tarquin Pack and Kris Thykier; Millar and Romita Jr. are co-producers. The announcement was made today by Joe Drake, Lionsgate President, Motion Picture Group, and Co-Chief Operating Officer, and Jason Constantine, Lionsgate President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions.
KICK-ASS was the buzz sensation of the July Comic-Con in San Diego, where early footage was shown to wildly appreciative fans. The film is a privately financed independent production from Vaughn's Marv Films and Plan B Entertainment, and is currently in post-production. Lionsgate anticipates a wide release in 2010.
Said Constantine, "Matthew Vaughn is an amazing talent and a true original, and he has brought a whole new mindset to the action genre with KICK-ASS. KICK-ASS redefines the boundaries in terms of humor, action, story, character and tone — it's the kind of movie that reminds us of why we go to the movies in the first place. Lionsgate is thrilled to bring KICK-ASS home to give it the next-generation launching pad it deserves."
Said Vaughn, "Making and financing KICK-ASS has been an amazing experience, and we've had two important goals from the start: make a singularly entertaining film and find the right studio to release it. With Lionsgate, I know that I've got a supportive and fearless team behind me. It's going to be fun working together to bring the film to audiences and those who are already fans of the comic book."
Said Pack, "The massive response we received at Comic-Con has been hugely important in launching the next wave of momentum for the film, and Lionsgate's marketing and distribution talents are a perfect fit for us. Lionsgate is a studio that is not afraid to do things differently, and that is the attitude that has characterized KICK-ASS from the very start." | https://www.slashfilm.com/504993/lionsgate-to-distribute-kick-ass/ | dclm-gs7-054680035 |

Dysfunction and disability accrue as PLS progresses. These are dealt with by the treating physician as they arise. (See Prognosis and Treatment.)
The slow rate of progression of PLS provides most patients and families with time to adapt to the changes and identify resources for support. Conversely, the overall duration and magnitude of the burden placed on the family and caregivers is commensurately greater than it would be in a more rapidly progressing disease.

KUALA LUMPUR - Two North Korean men who helped four suspects flee Malaysia after Kim Jong Nam was killed, themselves left the country in March, after a tense diplomatic stand-off between Malaysia and the reclusive nation.
The duo - second secretary to the North Korean Ambassador in Kuala Lumpur Hyon Kwang Song and Air Koryo manager Kim Uk Il - were initially identified as suspects by police, who recorded their statements.
Investigating officer Wan Azirul Nizam Che Wan Aziz told the court in the murder trial yesterday (Nov 8) that the police were unable to serve issued arrest warrants on Hyon and Kim Uk Il as they had sought refuge at the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
When asked if Hyon and Kim Uk Il had left the country on Mar 30 without his knowledge, Mr Wan Azirul said: "Correct, your honour".
The four wanted men, also North Koreans, are charged with two detained women, Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, 29 with common intent to kill Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, using the chemical weapon VX, at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Feb 13.
The women have said they were duped into thinking they were playing a prank for a reality TV show.
The murder sparked a diplomatic row between Malaysia and North Korea, in which nine Malaysians at Malaysia's embassy in Pyongyang were prevented from leaving the country until Kuala Lumpur allowed Mr Kim Jong Nam's remains, and three men holed up in the embassy, to return to North Korea on March 30.
The three were Hyon, Kim Uk Il and another North Korean man Ri Ji U.
The embassy's involvement has again cast the spotlight on whether Mr Kim Jong Un's regime was behind his brother's killing, an allegation denied by North Korea.

for product departments
Keep everyone in your company in sync
on the latest updates and plans.
app screenshot min.png
Keep all your roadmaps, specs, and release notes in sync
As Product Managers, we create a lot of documents:
market research summaries, customer interviews, specs, release notes, roadmap... The list goes on and on.
A single PM might be able to keep all those documents in place (if she's organized), but as the team grows, it becomes more and more difficult to align across different teams. Very often, different PMs will be using different naming conventions to save their content, or even use different tools to do so, One might like using Google Docs, while swears by Notion, and a third just puts all his research in his everlasting Evernote.
For those reasons, PMs often work in silos, disconnected from other teams and other PMs. It's easy to see how this can backfire, right?
Product management in the new world
Imagine you're starting research for a new feature, say, adding a new user role. You're new on the team, and you feel a little bit like you're working in a vacuum.
You'd love to get your hands on some relevant customer feedback, You open TagBox, click "customer interviews", and search "roles" and "permissions". Four interviews come up, saving you countless hours in looking for interviewees.
Before you start writing the spec, you think to yourself that surely there has to be an original spec for Roles & Permissions. You open TagBox again, look for "specs", and quickly find the original design. It was actually written a while ago, by the guy you replaced, who now works somewhere else... No way you'd find it otherwise, right?
Easy organizing with TagBox
Drive platforms are optimized for individual use, and it's next to impossible for teams to properly collaborate on them. Our minds are just far too different, and we save our content using different logic. But what if each PM could keep their workflow, yet others could see everything in one, organized place?
This is exactly what TagBox is designed to do. The platform connects to your existing tools such as Google Drive, and auto-tags every file according to its location and contents. Then, our AI suggests merging similar tags together. This way, if one PM has a folder named "Specs" and another as a folder named "PRDs", we'll suggest you group them together, according to your preference.
From this point onward, all specs will appear together within TagBox, regardless of whether they were saved under "Specs", "PRDs", "User Stories", or "Requirements".
Get notified when it matters
Organizing your team's documents is a huge step forward. It will help you conduct research, get to those hard-to-reach customer interviews, and find old specs.
But what if you could get notified as soon something important happens? Whenever a new feature is released, or a new customer is interviewed? With TagBox, you can subscribe to tags, and get notified by email whenever new content is added, or an old one is updated.
Update EVERYONE without spamming them
But wait, why stop there?! It's not only the product team who needs to stay updated - it's also Sales, Marketing, Support... And each of them is interested in different updates. For example - we all know how Sales are interested in shiny new features they can sell, while Support is mostly interested in solving that bug that has everyone all riled up.
With TagBox, they can registed for the updated they care about. No more company-wide emails that people auto-archive without giving them a second thought. By personalizing the updates, you get better engagement without having to worry about remembering to add that new guy who just joined the sales team.

UNC Football: Scene Setting
Making sure everything is just so.
North Carolina v Florida State Photo by Don Juan Moore/Getty Images
There’s a golden summer light splashing through the window beside my desk, falling heavily onto my keyboard and briefly setting aflame the dust motes and dog hairs stirred by the fan lazily turning overhead. A clock ticks somewhere in another room; counting down the late-afternoon minutes as the day winds down. The sunlight spilling through this window, bereft of its heat after yet another long day of beating down ceaselessly on parked cars and blacktops, is half as thick as honey. It drips off of the leaves of the oaks and sycamore trees outside, filtering through pine needles before settling in my little corner of this apartment, setting it aglow for a few minutes before the shadows of the woods surrounding the building grow longer and longer as day turns to night.
Three miles away for a car, or just over two for our feathered friends, there are folks hard at work behind the scenes. While I sit in my computer chair, spinning slowly side-to-side, soaking in the sunlight for these few moments and trying to think of something to write, there are people who are trying to think of answers to questions that we haven’t even thought to ask yet for the upcoming season. There are coaches watching game film today to build a defensive scheme that won’t be discussed for weeks. There are players putting in extra reps in the weight room, or running extra sprints, to give themselves an edge for the eventual moment in which that extra rep is the thing that tips the scales between victory and defeat. There are administrators and staffers running crazy to make sure the team has what it needs to be successful in the coming months. There are Bojangle’s ad folks brainstorming ways to work the word ‘supreme(s)’ into a Heisman campaign. This has the potential to be a special season, no doubt; but only if all of this work is put in ahead of time.
There are better writers than I currently writing previews of each Carolina position group right here on this very blog, beginning to get fans prepared for what’s to come. There are national folks covering the landscape of college football at large, setting up a way for us to frame the successes and failures of our Heels on a larger scale. There are talking heads on the four-letter network reacting to all of this work being done and presenting it to a larger audience. All of this work is vital, and there’s a reason the stage directions come before the dialogue in a play. Without the effort put in to set expectations and establish context, our responses to the way the season will play out can only be reactionary, and that’s not nearly as much fun. How would we poke fun at opposing fanbases for their crushed dreams if those dreams aren’t made built up before the season starts?
Without a set, actors are just folks yelling onstage. Without context, a college football season is just game after game until basketball season starts. The work that’s going on now is imperative to how we understand the season as it plays out, and ought not be missed. | https://www.tarheelblog.com/2021/8/4/22608475/unc-football-north-carolina-tar-heels-scene-setting | dclm-gs7-054810035 |

How to Watch Anything, Anywhere
Missing out on some of your favorite television shows while away from home can become frustrating. Certain shows are rarely replayed during the same week or even month so if you aren’t in the position to tune in as it’s being broadcasted on TV, you might have to wait until the season ends in order to catch any reruns. However, that certainly isn’t always true.
If you subscribe to a service such as Hulu Plus, you’re able to watch specific television shows shortly after they premiere on cable TV. This is a great option for those who may enjoy watching shows once in a while, but can’t justify paying for television service, as it allows them to watch shows that they may not have access to otherwise. Even if you do have cable at home, you can use Hulu while on the go…or at least when you’re in the United States, which is somewhat handy.
Watch Anything, Anywhere
But what about outside of the US? Unfortunately, many services such as Hulu and Netflix are geo-restricted, meaning that they can only be accessed by users in specific countries. They aren’t the first companies to do this either. Many popular online services restrict access as well.
As you can imagine, this is somewhat of a problem if you’re using a paid service and happen to travel overseas. Some cable companies will allow you to watch TV from your computer or smartphone so long as you’re a paying customer, but once again, it’s not likely you’ll be able to access this feature if you’re connecting to their app or website from an IP address located outside of your home country.
So what options are available that will allow you to watch anything, anywhere? Let’s take a look.
Begin With a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is one of the easiest and most effective ways to unblock websites that use geo-restriction. You can think of a VPN as a secure tunnel. When you connect to the VPN, all of your internet traffic is routed through that tunnel, making it appear as though you are connecting to the web from a different location.
The VPN is a remote server so wherever the server is that you connect to is where websites will believe you are located. This is because of the IP address, which is a combination of numbers that act as sort of an online ID, displaying your location to others online (this is why you’ll sometimes see ads online that mention your city on them, even without ever typing it into any online forms on that website).
VPNs do more than just hide your location, making them even more useful than just for the purpose of watching what you want from wherever you are. They also encrypt your internet connection and provide a simple way for you to browse the internet anonymously. Encryption makes you less vulnerable to malware and cyberattacks.
It’s common to utilize unsecured internet connections such as public WiFi, especially when away from home, and that’s one of the main ways hackers can make their way into your internet-enabled devices. Even when you aren’t using an unsecure internet connection, a VPN can add additional security to your devices beyond what the typical anti-virus program can because of the level of anonymity it provides. This is especially important because when you’re browsing the net for new websites offering streams of movies and television shows, you’re likely to come across some fakes that could be harboring hackers and malware.
In order to begin using a VPN, you’ll need to choose and subscribe to a VPN service. SecureThoughts.com has made it easy to compare VPN services with their list of the best VPNs for Hulu. Even if Hulu isn’t your top choice for streaming videos, the VPNs mentioned will work for streaming videos online from any website.
Check Local Listings
Another option for watching shows while away from home is to check the local listings in the area that you’re visiting. It may be that your favorite television shows are broadcasting on cable in that city or country as well. Chances are you’ll have access to some TV, as hotels typically offer basic channel lineups at the very least.
If it’s sports you’re mainly interested in watching, you can also visit local pubs in the area that often have sports playing for their customers.
Browse the Net
Many people have heard of Netflix or Hulu before, but may not be aware that there are other similar services available that they may be able to view from other countries without a problem. Some offer only specific genres of shows and movies, but are useful nonetheless. To find some of these, try doing a Google search for something along the lines of “movie streaming service” and include your specific country or city in the query.
As always, be wary of what websites you input your information into or download anything from. Sometimes websites will lure you into downloading or sharing your information with them in an attempt to steal your identity or inject malware onto your device. Streaming websites tend to be a popular way for people to do this, as they are something many internet users tend to search for.
An anti-virus program can be helpful, so be sure to have one installed on all of your internet-enabled devices (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.). I’ve used both Panda and Avast, but there are other good free choices available as well.
Watching What You Want When You Want
Enjoying movies and television shows while away from home is something you definitely do not have to go without just because you’re traveling. Whether you just prefer to receive what you paid for when traveling abroad (you pay for Hulu Plus and Netflix after all) or are simply looking to view geo-restricted content from anywhere in the world, a VPN is your best bet because of its ability to mask your location.

Nikki Haley US ambassador to UN

The administration of President Donald Trump has withdrawn the United States from a United Nations pact to improve the handling of migrant and refugee situations, deeming it "inconsistent" with its policies, the US mission to the global body announced Saturday.
"Today, the US Mission to the United Nations informed the UN Secretary-General that the United States is ending its participation in the Global Compact on Migration," the Americans said in a statement.
In September 2016, the 193 members of the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a non-binding political declaration, the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, pledging to uphold the rights of refugees, help them resettle and ensure they have access to education and jobs.
"The New York Declaration contains numerous provisions that are inconsistent with US immigration and refugee policies and the Trump Administration’s immigration principles.
As a result, President Trump determined that the United States would end its participation in the Compact process that aims to reach international consensus at the UN in 2018," the US statement said.
US Ambassador Nikki Haley said the country would continue its "generosity" in supporting migrants and refugees around the world, but that "our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone."
Under Trump and his "America First" policies, the United States has withdrawn from several global commitments made under the administration of president Barack Obama, including the Paris climate deal.
More recently, American pulled out of the Paris-based culture and education body, UNESCO, accusing it of "anti-Israel bias." | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/03/us-pulls-un-migrant-refugee-pact/ | dclm-gs7-054840035 |

0.14366 | <urn:uuid:c833fbbe-7add-4213-87b2-c8234f1eb85e> | en | 0.901198 | Editors’ note: Taking the advice of C. S. Lewis, we want to help our readers “keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds,” which, as he argued, “can be done only by reading old books.” So to that end we continue our Rediscovering the Forgotten Classics series as we survey some forgotten and lesser-known Christian classics. Given the political upheaval in recent weeks and months, we asked Bruce Ashford to highlight an overlooked work of political theology that uniquely encourages and equips Christians today.
The 2016 election cycle put on full display the dysfunctional, vitriolic travesty that is American politics and public life. Any person with only the dimmest spark of critical reflectiveness can recognize the social, cultural, and political breakdown in our nation.
Of course, the more difficult task is to identify the causes of that breakdown and offer a way forward. For that task, the work of Canadian political scientist David Koyzis is especially helpful. In Political Visions and Illusions: A Survey and Christian Critique of Contemporary Ideologies (2003), he argues that the problem with modern politics isn’t found principally in political parties, disputes, candidates, or policy issues. Rather, it’s discovered in the deeper, more pervasive phenomenon of idolatry.
According to the Bible, idolatry is absolutizing some aspect of God’s creation. Instead of worshiping God as God, we elevate some part of his creation to the level of ultimacy reserved for him alone. Thus an idol—or a combination of idols—sits on the thrones of our hearts, commanding our loyalties and shaping our lives.
Idols sit on the thrones of our hearts, commanding our loyalties and shaping our lives.
Yet it would be a mistake to think the effects of idolatry are limited to the private lives of individuals. Idolatry and its negative consequences spread like a plague, radiating outward from a person to society as a whole. As idols move into politics and public life, they manifest themselves in modern political ideologies. As Koyzis argues, every modern political ideology tends to deify—or idolize—some aspect of the created order.
Here are four such political idols.
1. Liberalism (sovereignty of individual).
In its earlier forms, liberalism arose from within the Christian tradition and wasn’t idolatrous. By definition, it denoted commitment to a constitutional and representative government that emphasized liberty and personal freedom. Yet it quickly took on ideological dimensions by absolutizing individual autonomy.
Liberalism’s emphasis on the individual reduces the community to little more than a collection of autonomous individuals, and government to a “necessary evil.” Early on, liberals insisted that the state should be minimal, existing only to protect individuals and their property. Before long, though, they expanded the state so that it would protect them from more ambiguous threats, such as lack of resources.
Eventually, liberals came to expect the government to accommodate their personal desires—and to do so in a religiously and morally neutral manner. So when a person’s poor judgment or immoral choices cause negative consequences, a liberal populace expects the government to ameliorate or even eliminate the consequences (e.g., “Have you fathered five children out of wedlock? We’re happy to tax other citizens to alleviate the consequences of your actions, but we’d have been even more happy to take those children’s lives in the womb beforehand.”).
Every modern political ideology tends to deify some aspect of the created order, thereby making an idol out of it.
This type of liberalism—“late liberalism” or “secular liberal progressivism”—functions as a false system of salvation. It venerates autonomy, identifies society’s “root evil” as heteronomous authority, and places trust in ideologically liberal political parties promising to maximize free choice. In its worst forms, it forthrightly banishes God so that individuals can freely “create” themselves (e.g., create your own morality or determine your own gender). As a result, citizens in a politically liberal regime lose freedom as government inevitably swells to enormous proportions; and they experience a degraded civic life because of the combination of vanishing community and disintegrating moral norms.
2. Conservatism (tradition as source of norms).
Conservatism is often viewed as the polar opposite of liberalism. Yet, as Koyzis notes, conservatism isn’t a single, stable, or unified ideology we can encapsulate in an identifiable doctrinal position. It doesn’t even qualify strictly as an ideology, since it tends to feed off other ideologies. Its tendency is to “conserve,” and usually it seeks to conserve a particular era in a nation’s cultural heritage. Conservatism tends to deify a certain era in national life and ascribe evil to grand social reform agendas.
One problem with pure conservatism is that it’s always “on the move.” Like progressivism, it’s less an abstract ideology than a contextual response. Consider American “conservatism,” whose adherents are having the most difficult time making tactical—much less strategic—alliance with each other. From our nation’s cultural heritage, what are conservatives trying to conserve? Individual liberty? Moral norms? The economic conditions of a previous era? Ethnic primacy?
Another problem with pure conservatism is that, on its own, it lacks transcendent principles. In spite of conservatives’ high view of the past, they intuitively know they can’t uncritically accept it all. So when they do criticize an aspect of the past (e.g., slavery), they’re forced to rummage around for transcendent norms. For this reason, pure conservatives have often allied with Christians, drawing upon Christianity’s transcendent norms when and where it pairs well with their agenda.
Regardless, a pure social conservatism elevates “cultural heritage” to a level of ultimacy reserved for God alone, and for that reason it has a twisting and distorting effect socially and culturally.
3. Nationalism (nation deified).
Nationalism takes on ideological tendencies, Koyzis avers, when a people absolutize the nation, viewing it as the savior that’ll protect them from being ruled, corrupted, or influenced by nations and peoples different from them.
In the modern West, nationalism often manifests itself as an inordinate allegiance to a modern nation-state. Nationalists usually view their nation as superior to others in the ability to exemplify some transcendent value. For Americans, this value is usually freedom. Since our nation possesses the highest virtue, the argument goes, we must be God’s favorite. This thinking goes beyond patriotism (which is healthy and good) to idolatry.
IVP Academic (2003). 281 pp.
IVP Academic (2003). 281 pp.
Yet nationalism also manifests itself in ethnic or tribal varieties. Consider the re-emergence of white nationalism in the past decade, and especially during the 2016 election cycle. Proponents such as Jared Taylor and Richard Spencer argue that black communities are uncivilized and unable to perpetuate civilization, that they have corrupted our nation, and that white people should therefore give preference to whites and seek to preserve whiteness above all else.
This type of ethno-nationalism functions as a false and grotesque religion. It claims to seek justice—which is noble and reasonable—while failing to value or protect those not of its kind. A Christian political view subverts nationalism by refusing to deify a nation or locate its root evil in “otherness,” and by rejecting political platforms or politicians who aspire to restore a nation’s greatness by elevating one group of citizens over another. A proper Christian patriotism will engender humble patriotism rather than arrogant nationalism.
4. Socialism (common ownership as salvific).
Socialism comes in many varieties. Some versions take a revolutionary approach, others a more gradual and peaceful approach to undermining the free market. Some base their claims in science, others in philosophy or religion. Nonetheless, all variations of socialism have in common an impulse toward coercing society toward material equality and communal property ownership. Although these factors are economic, they can’t be realized without the exertion of political force.
Socialism deifies material equality, locates evil in material inequality, and then vests “communal ownership” with messianic qualities to fix society. Historically, Marxist states have become inherently totalizing (employing coercive power in their micromanagement of every dimension of life) and radical (wanting to reconstruct society from the roots up). Socialist states have a long and sordid history of harming the economies of nations who adopt it as an official ideology; although socialism increases “equality” in those nations, it’s the type of equality ships experience when they all sink with a receding tide.
Alternative for American Politics
How should we respond to these modern political ideologies? We should affirm the good intentions and insights found in each, while at the same time anathematize their idolatrous corruption and misdirection. And—as Koyzis does in the last several chapters of Political Visions and Illusions—we should work together to construct a non-ideological alternative for Christians who wish to recognize God’s sovereignty over the nation and draw upon our Christianity to work for the common good.
For this task, we’ll need to raise up a generation of Christian political theorists and public intellectuals like Koyzis—thinkers who view the gospel as a public truth that challenges society as a whole. These Christian thinkers will soak themselves in the biblical narrative so that they’ll be able—reflexively and intuitively—to challenge the reigning narratives of politicians, parties, and cable news networks. They’ll unmask the follies that dominate the public square, challenging societal axioms with biblical ones. They’ll challenge every modern ideology—including those on the left, right, and everywhere between.
The task won’t be easy for young Christian thinkers who wish to bring the West—as Lesslie Newbigin put it—into a missionary encounter with the gospel. It’ll be difficult, but no matter how arduous it turns out to be, we can’t be alleviated of our responsibility.
So we must enter the American public square with the same humble confidence with which the early church entered the Roman public square. We’re confident because the Lord will return to restore his kingdom; we’re humble because it’s he, not we, who’ll set the world aright; and in light of those truths, we’re determined to witness to his kingdom and be the heart and strength of every good movement of American political concern.

Clowns Celebrate Russian Master Comic Nikulin

Award-winning comics on Sunday showcased the art of clowning and tomfoolery as they honored Russia's brightest circus star Yuri Nikulin who would have turned 100 at the weekend.
During a gala in the second city St. Petersburg entertainers from a variety of countries including Russia, Italy, Brazil and Mexico delighted the audience with skits and animal acts involving poodles and a goose.
The performance wrapped up a four-day festival dubbed "The world's best clowns" which was dedicated to Russia's beloved clown and actor Nikulin, who would have turned 100 on Saturday.
David Larible, a prominent Italian performer who took part in the festival, said clowns all over the world knew and remembered Nikulin.
"He is a master, he is our father, he is a magnificent artist," Larible told AFP.
Under the Soviet Union, the circus was one of the country's most cherished institutions.
Known for his signature sailor cap, cropped trousers and warmth, Nikulin became a cultural icon entertaining Russians for decades.
He starred in iconic Soviet comedies but was also known for his dramatic talent.
When the legendary comic died in 1997, Boris Yeltsin, Russia's president at the time, addressed the nation in a televised address, saying the country was grieving.
"We've all become orphans today," Yeltsin said at the time.

How waterproofing increases the value of your property
How waterproofing increases the value of your property
Owning a property in a city with such bipolar weather like Sydney can be a pain. One minute, the sun is beating down on your cracking and peeling paint. And the next, you’re mopping up litres of water from a roof leak that fell through during a spontaneous thunderstorm.
Your home is more valuable when protective and preventative measures are installed or set in place. They can help reduce unnecessary cost and minimise damages.
Waterproofing increases your properties’ value. It prevents unwanted moisture from seeping into your walls, which would normally allow tough mould to grow. And mould impacts our health in a negative way.
This unwanted moisture causes damage in the foundations due to water seepage which can ruin the structural integrity of your home. It also causes metals to rust and wood to decay.
It is obvious that unhealthy living areas and weak foundations will affect the property value of your house.
Concrete and waterproofing on your property
In the simplest terms, water breaks down concrete. When waterproofing concrete, masonry and other cement-based materials, the waterproofing system prolongs the lifespan and durability of the structure.
In some parts of Australia, if you have masonry, concrete or block walls, it is required by law and building code to waterproof these structures. A high-water table, flood-prone building area or high rain levels dictate these types of waterproofing codes.
In high-rise buildings, all substructures must be waterproofed. They are load-bearing walls for incredibly heavy complexes and a material breakdown is unacceptable.
When concrete is moist and mould ridden, not only does it start looking bad, but is also weakens. You have likely seen surface damage on a sidewalk or old mortar. The concrete erodes, exposing matrix materials and base concrete.
In extreme cases, water will destroy concrete quickly, but generally, it takes a few years to start showing.
If you see damage on the surface of the concrete, it’s a safe bet that the underlying structure of your wall or floor is damaged too.
If you want a concrete project to maintain its strength and fresh appearance, you need to waterproof it. When you waterproof concrete, you are also protecting the re-bar inside the concrete from rusting and eroding.
Some other benefits of waterproofing concrete include the prevention of and mildew from getting into the walls and floor. It reduces maintenance costs and clean-up.
With waterproof structures, you have a lot less work to do when cleaning up after a heavy rainstorm or flood. Basic maintenance is much easier, the waterproof factor keeps things clean.
When the time comes to sell, a waterproofed basement or sub-floor is a good selling point – no one wants to buy a house with water problems. Furthermore, waterproofed walls and floors increase property value.

How waterproofing increases your property value in various ways
When it comes to waterproofing benefits, the most obvious one is protection from water. However, did you know that doing this to your home or balcony is one of the best things you can do for your property?
Water damages generally account for 20% of all insurance claims made by homeowners. Waterproofing can prevent costly repairs including basement flooding.
It only takes 24-48 hours for mould to grow on a damp surface. Therefore, waterproofing helps create a healthier home environment for your family. This is because prolonged exposure to mould and mildew can cause asthma, hay fever, and other severe medical conditions.
Waterproofing helps prevent structural damage inside and outside to your home. As water seeps through into the foundation of your home, it can cause significant foundation cracks and compromise the structural integrity of the property.
When you waterproof your home, you can rest easy knowing your home, belongings and your family will be safe without worrying about the effects of water damage and leaks.
You can increase your wellbeing and decrease your stress when you call experts like Titan Waterproofing to do jobs like these for you.
As the leading waterproofers in Sydney, Titan Waterproofing will take care of your property so you don’t have to! Call today on 1300 761 219.

Charles Law
For most people, the words “ideal gas” might conjure up the image of some kind of super fuel, perhaps a near-inexhaustible kind that creates zero air pollution! Sadly, this is not what is meant by ideal gas. In reality, an ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of a set of randomly-moving, non-interacting point particles. At normal conditions such as standard temperature and pressure, most real gases such as air, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, noble gases, and some heavier gases like carbon dioxide behave like an ideal gas and can be treated as such within reasonable tolerances. It is only when they are treated with higher temperatures and lower pressure that they deviate from this trend. Once they get into this territory, experimental gas laws, such as Charles’s Law, come into play.
Also known as the law of volumes, Charles’s Law is an experimental gas law which describes how gases tend to expand when heated. It was first published by French natural philosopher Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802, although he credited the discovery to unpublished work from the 1780s by Jacques Charles, hence the name. This law applies generally to all gases, and also to the vapours of volatile liquids if the temperature is more than a few degrees above the boiling point. Given the interest in hot air balloons at the time, it is certainly understandable why Gay-Lussac, Charles and other scientists around the globe were so interested in the relationship between volume, pressure and temperature when it came to gasses.
In lay terms, the law states that: at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature on the absolute temperature scale (i.e. the gas expands as the temperature increases). This can be written as: V? T, where V is the volume of the gas; and T is the absolute temperature. In mathematical terms, the law can also be expressed as: V100 – V0 = kV0, where V100 is the volume occupied by a given sample of gas at 100 °C; V0 is the volume occupied by the same sample of gas at 0 °C; and k is a constant which is the same for all gases at constant pressure. Gay-Lussac’s value for k was ½.6666, remarkably close to the present-day value of ½.7315.
Combined with Boyle’s law, these laws make up what is known as the “Ideal Gas Law” which was first stated by ÉmileClapeyron in 1834.
We have written many articles about Charles’s Law for Universe Today. Here’s an article about the Combined Gas Law, and here’s an article about Boyle’s Law.
If you’d like more info on Charles’s Law, check out a discussion about Charles’s Law, and here’s a link to an article about Charles’s Law by the Glenn Research Center.

A man with short hair
Just trying to be “funny” huh.
According to the NY Daily News, 17 year old Tyler Rabenhorst-Malone put cow tranquilizers in his stepdad’s energy drinks to be “funny,” but not to hurt him.
Seems like a smart kid…
Apparently his stepdad is a dairy farmer so the cow tranquillizers were readily available.
I’ve taken too much of an edible before and thought it was a cow tranquilizer after the fact, but it wasn’t. It was just me living on Pluto. I digress…
Of course, after spike energy drink, the stepdad went to the hospital with a droopy face, slurred speech and heavy breathing… they told him to get rest, and lay off the energy drinks.
According to a complaint obtained from ABC13, the kid’s mom and stepdad reported that a box of oxytocin mixed with rompun was missing from their barn in April 2018.
Looks like they found it…
The stepdad started to suspect his stepson was poisoning him, and eventually, he found a bunch of old syringes that had previously been used.
Of course, the drinks tested positive for the cattle sedative.
He looks like he just shit himself after being charged with “placing foreign objects in edibles and second-degree recklessly endangering safety.”
I love Wisconsin, but this is almost too Wisconsin.
Kid probably hates his stepdad, who happens to be a dairy farmer (of course), so the kid starts poisoning him with tranquilizers typically used on cows giving birth.
It pretty much writes itself.

Southern wall of the main chamber (Illustration)
This is the mural on the southern wall of the main chamber in Tokhung-ri Tomb. The murals in the main chamber include scenes of private life associated with the Youzhou Provincial Governor Jin and the First Lady, mounted archery in the western yard, Seven-Treasure Ceremony (a type of Buddhist ceremony), lotus pond, and depictions of the estate that display the couple's wealth. The centerpiece in the main chamber is the mural on the northern wall that depicts the noble couple sitting under a pavilion. The ceiling of the main chamber conveys a sense of luxury through the unique double joist depiction decorated with flame patterns. The main chamber ceiling is in stark contrast to the vibrant and mystical depictions of celestial objects, immortals, auspicious animals, and patterns of the antechamber.
The two-tier mural on the southern wall of the main chamber consists of a lotus pond depicted to the left of the threshold and a horse stable and barn to the right.
The ceiling features depictions of architectural elements and flame-pattern decorations. Elegant depictions of trusses and connecting nodes can be seen between the large and medium-sized joists on the ceiling, and they represent the framework of the roof structure. Depictions of the noble couple's daily lives under the magnificence of the double-joist architecture can be considered as a reflection of their extravagant lifestyles. | http://contents.nahf.or.kr/english/item/level.do;jsessionid=44B78B5382503736127F28178E9A6B08?levelId=kk_002e_0100&langTypes=e | dclm-gs7-055150035 |

Good Greetings to All:
I am reading an interesting book called
"The Coming Global Superstorm" By Art Bell and Whitley Strieber.
I have been studying Climate Change and many of its components.
I have read many of the books written by Marshall V. Summers who writes about the "New Message."
I am in the process of comparing this book with the New Message "Great Waves of Change" books.
I am finding this book to be very interesting. Perhaps you will too
I bless all with Love

Chapter 1: Present Danger
1999 was the most violent year in the modern history of weather. So was 1998. So was 1997. And 1996. Anybody who glances at a weather report from time to time can see that something extraordinary is happening. But exactly what that is remains a matter of controversy.
For twenty years, we have been bombarded with warnings that global warming is a real and present danger. Equally, there have been claims that it's all nonsense.
On March 15, 1999, scientists at the University of Arizona and the University of Massachusetts reported on their construction of a thousand-year record of earth's average temperature. The results were shocking. What has happened is that a nine-hundred-year-long cooling trend has been suddenly and decisively reversed in the past fifty years. Due to the rise in heat-trapping greenhouse gases, ferocious warming is under way. The scientists predicted that the earth will shortly be warmer than it has been in millions of years.
A climatological nightmare is upon us. It is almost certainly the most dangerous thing that has ever happened in our history. However, there is a surprising amount that we can do about it. Some of it involves personal action. Some of it involves the whole society. None of it is particularly difficult or expensive, and none of it will place a cost burden on government, business, or the individual.
How effective will it be? That remains to be seen. So far, the fact that we cannot answer the question of just how dangerous global warming actually is, has meant that nobody is doing anything very decisive. But the situation is getting more and more serious. It has become clear that the deterioration of the atmosphere -- indeed, of the whole biosphere -- is happening a lot faster than even the most concerned climatologists imagined just a short time ago.
What does this mean? What might happen? We must find a way to understand. We must, because we have to empower ourselves to prevent it. Could it be that the worst climate disaster of all -- an event barely whispered about -- is actually happening right now? Could we be at the edge of runaway climate change -- an event so devastating that it could abruptly leave the world unable to feed itself, perhaps even visit it with unimaginable destruction?
To find out, we must take a journey not only through the shocking record of current climate change, but also into the amazing history of the world's weather.
Earth's climate works like a rubber band being stretched and suddenly released. For years, eons even, the stresses slowly build as the chemistry of the air changes. And then, in a matter of a few years or even a few months, there is a shift so vast that we can scarcely begin to imagine it.
Earth, it seems, has a powerful regulatory mechanism built into its climate. Heat increases to a certain point, and then the whole system breaks down. Cold air comes roaring down from the north, flooding the previously overheated Northern Hemisphere.
Suddenly, a new era of cold weather begins. We know, generally, how this happens. But not even science has as yet faced the fact that this change must be accompanied by an absolutely massive release of energy, as earth's climate strives to reorganize itself. In other words, this great shift of climate is almost certainly accompanied by a great storm or series of storms, a weather upheaval outside of contemporary human experience. We believe that it has happened before, and that traces of what we are calling the superstorm exist in the fossil record. We believe that it comes on suddenly and that it is so destructive that it has the potential to end our civilization.
These are sensational claims, but we can prove that nature pulls the trigger suddenly and, therefore, that the rebalancing of the climate that follows must also be very sudden and involve titanic energies. This suggests that our present situation may be extremely perilous.
Over the past three million years the earth has been locked in an unusually harsh climate system. During this period, our climate has flipped from warm to cold conditions and back again many times. Again and again, earth has warmed up, getting hotter and hotter until -- very suddenly -- the glaciers have come back and entombed a quarter of the planet in ice for upwards of a hundred thousand years. Sometimes, the cooling event has not resulted in a long-term buildup of ice. Sometimes, as happened around 8,000 B.C., sudden cooling has not led to the return of the ice, but has only interrupted the warming process for a short time.
All of the factors that have caused sudden climate change in the past are lining up right now. This change, which we will show is part of a vast natural cycle, has been sped up this time by human activity. When the change comes, it is likely to be much more violent than ever before, and we will offer evidence from recent and unexpected climatological data that indicates why this would be so.
We will look at the last great upheaval through the eyes of the people who were living then. Examining the fossil record, we will identify the season in which it took place. And we will see why that particular event did not result in a new ice age and learn exactly how to tell if the changes the next one brings will cause one or not.
What will this climate change be like for you and your family? This depends on where you live. The farther north your home, the more likely you will have to move quickly south.
Say you live in Dallas or Madrid or Rome. Your first indication that the superstorm is building might be weather reports to the effect that a series of cold fronts are moving down from the Arctic, one after another. This could happen at any time of the year. You would hear that more northern places -- Toronto, Stockholm, Beijing -- were receiving extremely heavy weather -- extraordinary rain in the summer, unprecedented blizzards in the winter. This would continue for a week or more, always building in intensity. Across the northern plains of the world -- the American High Plains, the central Asian steppe -- wind gusts of upwards of one hundred miles an hour would start to be recorded. We believe that it would get worse, and we will make our case over the course of this book.
Places like Edmonton and Semipalatinsk, then Minneapolis and Moscow, would cease to communicate with the outside world. Alaska and northern Siberia would have gone silent before.
From Europe to Asia to America, whole populations would be desperately attempting to move south. Because the same changes that affected currents in the North Atlantic would alter the movement of currents in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand would also be affected. There, summer would have turned to winter, or normal winter would have become extremely cold. Heavy seas would devastate the southern coasts of the continent. Typhoons, blowing up suddenly, would smash into the Philippines, Japan, and the Pacific islands.
The farther north you were, the more extreme conditions would be. Day after day, the storms would continue, becoming more complex and organized, larger, taking on forms never observed before.
All over the Northern Hemisphere, massive population movements would be taking place. There would be mass disorganization, and many, many people would be overrun by the superstorm.
After the superstorm was over, it would gradually become clear that a catastrophe of breathtaking proportions had occurred. The only reports from Europe would be coming from Portugal, southern Italy, and southern Spain. The entire American Midwest would be under a sheet of ice, one that would extend across Siberia and northern Europe as well. This ice would reflect vast amounts of sunlight and heat back into space.
If the storm -- as the last one appears to have done -- hit in summer, the ice would probably melt. It is possible that this happened the last time and, as we shall see, was recorded in myth all over the world.
If the storm took place in the fall or winter, then the ice could conceivably compress so much in the next few months and reflect back so much heat and light that the next summer simply would not be warm enough to melt it. The winter that followed would be the coldest in history.
The ultimate and ironic effect of global warming would have become clear to the survivors: a new ice age would have begun.

This sounds like a lot of fear mongering to me but at least he makes the correct point in my opinion that it's the cold and the possibility of another ice age which is far more dangerous to the earth's ecosystem than global warming will ever be. However when we look back in geologic history these events always seem sudden because the earth's history is so long. In actuality a sudden event in geologic time is usually something that occurs over the course of 500 years which is plenty of time for humans to move or engineers to find ways for humans to adjust to staying where they are.
ChrisBowers's picture
But that doesn't explain the animals seemingly frozen in place with fresh food in their mouths and stomach. Not only that, but we are seeing right now in real time weather events that are severe enough to give some credence to the possibility that at some critical mass point the Earth hits a triggering mechanism leading to a relatively quick move to ice age to cleanse itself for 1000 years. It makes a lot of sense, especially if the Earth is indeed an intelligent evolving Being, as I believe She is.
Even without an abrupt ice age event, we will still see mass migrations from rising sea levels in the next 35 years, upwards of 9 feet I hear from the recent "Oh My God" report. Even if we stopped burning all fossil fuels immediately, stopped fracking and drilling and mining coal, these coming climate change events are "baked" into the equation.
And that's just fine with me because I trust the Earth will be fine and has gone through rough times before. It's us who cannot "weather" such events. Just ask Atlantis & Mu (Lemuria). What does threaten this planet is a Maldek type scenario (mentioned by Ra in the Law of One sessions).
tscout's picture
It sounds like the "Day after tomorrow theory".Maybe it is fear mongering in a sense, but there have been many abrupt changes climate wise, which is why they find frozen animals, perfectly preserved. For those who don't watch Sonews reports online, the satellite photos have been showing the jet stream as far south as the equator for a couple of months now, which is a big factor in the theory these guys are putting forth. Then again, they never seem to integrate the fact that all the planets in our solar system are changing, which points to other causes for the changes. That throws a wrench into their theory imo. Either way,changes are coming, and I wouldn't count on them being subtle. Statistics for all activity, earthquakes, volcanoes, extreme weather have skyrocketed in the last 20-30 years, and the pace is increasing. Their is so much energy pouring into the atmosphere through the almost non-existent magnetosphere right now, anything could happen. But none of this is mentioned, or integrated into their computer models. So I think they are leaving something out when they produce these scenarios. An axis shift would junk their theory instantly as far as the ice age goes, but would definitely change climates dramatically. We are ripe for one now with the magnetic field almost non-existent. There have been reports already of continents moving . Australia is moving(atop it's tectonic plate) towards Indonesia right now. The reports are out there, and those symptoms fit theories about what happens to land masses as the magnetic field weakens. Just bits and pieces to the puzzle of what's actually going on, but we never see reports, or even theories based on all the facts integrated together. Throw in the theory that our consciousness is heating up the core of the planet, and they have to start from scratch,haha! The "schumann resonance", or pulse of the planet is up over 9 now,,,the pulse that matches the human heart,,or,,did when it was 7. something. So,,,maybe our hearts need to catch up!!!
Eyejay's picture
Right on Todd, there are major frequency upgrades happening as we speak, the pulse of life is adjusting upward, and we do need to catch up. I have just come through the mildest winter in years here in Auckland N.Z. so much so that birds started nesting in our roof during May, I have not seen any young though. Also many of the deciduous trees (most of which were imported here by our ancestors) especially the Oaks, have been very slow to drop their leaves, some trees were bare on the South or shaded cold side with the warmer side still bearing green leaves well into Late June, many flora with flowers also well before their time. I realize now that seasons as defined by Man are slipping out the window very quickly..
I say lets catch up quickly Todd
tscout's picture
Wow,,,it's freaky just listening to you describe the shaded"south side",,ha! Your way down under brother! I'm just finishing up my first year in California,so it's all new to me here. Everything was green all winter here,even through the few snowstorms we had. It started raining in November last year after two years of bad drought, so everything took the chance to come back to life. But now it hasn't even considered raining since May, and most everything is dried up again,ha!
The rising frequency issue is so true! Even though it is measurable with tech now,and is monitored constantly, it is never mentioned as being part of the equation in the computer models that are predicting all this mayhem. I think that, watching all the changes, being in tune with them, is a good way to keep up with it, just like you're doing. I am usually surrounded by squirrels here every morning when I exercise,,,but today, I noticed there wasn't a squirrel in sight! It worried me for a minute, like,I thought they might of known something was about to happen, but nothing did! A couple of hours later,when I went to work,there they were. I sit outside a lot at night before sleeping. Last month, I saw a ufo, pretty close up, that I mentioned here. Since then , I have seen another, but it just cruised by silently overhead. I also saw a huge fireball last week which seemed to burn up right in front of me,,,,,that one showed upon you tube a couple of days ago.Oh, and the shooting stars have been visible every night! Night time is my favorite time here. If some of the theories out there come to pass, this area where I am, (by Yosemite Nat. Park) could be the new west coast,ha! No one really knows which way it's gonna go, so I'm just trying to observe as much as I can. Oh! Have you noticed the wobble down there at sunrise or sunset? There is a guy in New Zealand who has been monitoring it. I can see it regularly here, as some days the sun comes up a full 10 degrees off from normal. I stand on the same spot every day, and have markers, and it really seems to be happening,it is a big difference. After I saw it a few times, and was sure it was happening, I stumbled on a site where they keep daily records, and lo and behold, they are showing a full 10 degree wobble in the Earth's daily rotation. They can't blame that on global warming, but they could blame global warming on whatever is causing that wobble! As the Sonews guy says,,,"Keep your heads up,eyes open,,,nofear!"
ChrisBowers's picture
10 degree wobble? That huge! Especially if it is happening inside a 24 hour period. I don't get it - how can this be happening without something much more drastic happening with the oceans and tides?
Could this be Trump's fault, Haaa Or maybe Hillary and Lucifer, Hahaaa
Noa's picture
I couldn't find anything on the internet verifying a 10 degree wobble, but I did find this interesting little video:

How global warming stats are skewed:
tscout's picture
Haha! I love the video on the different graphs used to create more dramatic results. This came up in the past here and someone posted a similar video. It's pretty easy to see how they can manipulate statistics, real handy in election years!!
I have also been looking for more info on the wobble. I am going to email the Aussie who posted the wobble graph(it wasn't like the graphs above, it was an overhead planetary view with the normal wobbling monitored,and the strays that are reportedly taking place). I couldn't find the link in his screenshots.
What I did find was a lot of info on the wobbling that is going on all the time. Just the forward motion of the spin,(the procession), supposedly gives us a wobble. They claim there are 2 other effects that cause wobbling,,,,a total of 3 that are monitored regularly. It sounds like the 10 percent figure might have been measured from 0, as opposed to 10 percent beyond the normal wobbles. No mention as to whether the tides are caused by our common,ongoing wobbles, or the moon,as is so commonly believed.
I wouldn't of even stopped to look at it, but I had noticed these oddities at sunrise several times. I stand in exactly the same spot every morning, for the better part of an hour. I have tracked where it rises since last October or so, when I moved to this part of the ranch. I stand on basically the only flat ground to be found,ha. At the solstice in June, I had a perfect marker, a dead, straight as an arrow, bull pine tree, exactly between me and the sunrise. The sun rises straight up behind the trunk of that tree. But,,,at least three times, it has risen a good 10 degrees to the right, or south of that tree for one morning.Then,,,the next morning,,,it's back where it was!! That was very noticeable,, no mistakes. So, does that fall in the range of what they say is going on all the time? I don't know. Haha! If the flat Earthers are right, it's all BS anyways. Is it just a glitch in the matrix? I don't know. When I set my compass up outside, I also see the sun rising in the northeast, so I am inclined to believe what the elders are saying. They engage the sun in their lives on a daily basis, and speak based on their daily observations, rather than data collected who knows where. They aren't claiming to know why,, just pointing out what their seeing. My compass says it's rising in the northeast,and we are well past the solstice. It seems odd after watching that video where they say it normally never rises north of the Tropic of Cancer! That is the South China sea,,,almost on line with the Gulf of Mexico in latitude. But I guess that's because we are in the northern hemisphere. It is also funny to hear Eyejay speak of the cold spots on the south sides of the trees, because of our geographical opposition.
If it's true that all these changes are connected to the rise in frequency on Earth,and in the solar system, then maybe the best way to rise with it is just to observe,and embrace it. The video on graphs Noa posted is a great reminder that all statistics are presented to put forth an idea,which can just as easily be an agenda... Personally ,I am in awe when watching the videos of all the extreme weather and earth changes. I am not indifferent to the suffering that accompanies it, but often wonder how in tune people are with where they live, and with what's going on around them. We can no longer say,,"oh no,,,we don't get that here!"
Eyejay's picture
Todd, I recall very succinctly the day the Tsunami hit Thailand.....
The Thai government reported 4,812[1] confirmed deaths, 8,457[1] injuries, and 4,499[1] missing after the country was hit by a tsunami caused by the Indian Ocean earthquake on the 26 of December 2004. The Thai authorities estimate that at least 8,150 are likely to have died.
So many souls leaving at one time, I felt a huge lift in awareness, and a real feeling of peace came over me. In comparison to the Twin Towers where we all watched the event in horror.

2022.01.28 21:50 NoMansSkyWasAlright Has anyone gotten MonoDevelop or something similar to run on EOS?
When I've run Ubuntu/Debian-based distros, monodevelop wasn't really something I used often. But it was nice to have the option. But now I need it. One of my profs has a pretty open-ended course where basically do/build whatever we want to demonstrate that we understand concepts he's taught in the course and I'd planned on using WinForms/WPF for a handful of projects for my portfolio. But today I found out that he plans on testing our programs on his personal computer by & large and only runs Debian on said machine. So GTK#2.0 seems like a shoe-in for a desktop-application because I'm lazy and don't want to build GUI's programatically. But it seems like there's no support for monodevelop anymore on the arch-based distros. So has anybody had any luck recently getting monodevelop to run on their EOS machine? Or does anybody have suggestions for a good alternative?

2022.01.28 21:50 aessa_ [QUESTION] Valentine's day gift recommendations for my guitarist boyfriend
I'm looking to get my boyfriend a Valentine's gift related guitars since he's a somewhat obsessed. We've been together a few months and my knowledge on this topic is very limited. I'm located in Italy and willing to spend up to around EUR400.
He's very talented, loves Guns N Roses (particularly Slash), owns several guitars including a Les Paul, some type of Strat, a double neck (sorry I can't be more specific), and he has more pedals than he can possibly use. I'm brainstorming ideas and I know gear can be super personal and dependent on preferences/style so I'm not sure that's a good move. I was thinking of a really nice strap, maybe some books, a custom box to hold pics, etc. but that all feels a bit cheap. I just want to be sure that whatever I get is something of proper quality.
So I thought I'd ask, what would you like to receive as a gift?

I can do the actual atomistic modelling on the supercomputer but training and stuff I wanna put a build together. My budget is tight so if I went with a gpu I couldn’t spend more than £200 or so on the gpu, therefore that would be like 4gb (my total budget is around 600 to 700 £).

2022.01.28 21:50 Copussy 21 [F4M] globally/online - looking for someone who lives on Earth 🌎🌍
Sometimes... I don’t want soft and gentle, I want hard and brutal.
Yeah I'm talking about truth. I really and I mean really hate it when I am middle of reading the spicy sex scene on romance books and at that very instant: my mother, my brother, sister, or a friend needs me. I don't care if there is a bomb blast beside me just lemme read the main action in PEACE! FOR GOD'S SAKE!
But anyway... I know life sometimes makes it impossible to believe that trust me I know. But still, you're awesome. I'm just here to spread some positivity because the internet is negative af and we don't wanna add more to it so if you're struggling tonight with anything mental health related just posting it out there that I'm here to listen. I don't believe in offering solutions when people are down, I'll just calmly listen and let you speak your heart out (if you so wish) or just be there in silence.
You are worth way more than that. You know that you are amazing right? Because you really are! So I you are feeling down, talk about it. Share your feelings and thoughts and vent yourself of all sadness. I know that there are people that care about you, so if you need to talk about it. Just send me or anyone else for that matter a message and hopefully you'll feel better soon.
Also don't hesitate to explore my profilepage before DM 😂

2022.01.28 21:50 daffle7 This season is going to be another season of trolls. Riot support will never do anything about it and it’s getting out of hand.
I see people here belittle low elo and talk down on it. Climbing out of bronze elo is having to 9 vs 1 almost every game and it shouldn’t be that way.
Having to your team every game. Seeing that they’re at 23% win rate, but you just dodged twice so you have to accept the loss or dodge and wait 12 hours. In bronze, you never have to worry about the enemy team as it’s irrelevant. Your team is your worst enemy in this elo and 49% of the time, they’re trying to lose to get to iron 4. It sounds silly, but people really try to lose. It’s not them being bad, no one is actually bad or incapable or learning. People really are trying to lose without being banned.

2022.01.28 21:50 DarthTrader357 BTC at another decision point
We've seen this pattern 2x before, and it's here again a 3rd time. BTC either runs to $41,000 which may be a bull trap, the previous two have been.
Or it just falls off the cliff, which its down 2x before as well. We've had 4 total "decision points" since the sell-off began.
Anyone who remembers me may know I cashed out of RIOT, I still think this is the right decision until proven otherwise.
Studying other macroeconomic factors, what I call the "market ecosystem", I'm convinced what we are witnessing is dried up money supply. Not disinterest.
There are no pool of buyers just waiting for a rally to start buying...there's no more money.
What ends-up happening in these "bull traps" which there are also 2 in the NASDAQ and there's sort of one (a pause) in the SPY, is that any little money anyone can raise gets thrown back into the "dip".
Then the money dries up and the price collapses even further.
I am convinced we are witnessing a huge money supply problem unravelling in front of our eyes, and the inflation won't go away because - guess what - prices can still inflate if the supply side collapses or "deflates" due to money supply problems.
This has only happened once before in history, not to be cliche, it was obviously the 1929 crash and the Great Depression.
After spending enormous amounts of money to cope with the Great War, and then inflating the economy through their own pandemic, money began to dry up around 1928....without throwing a lot of history at you, the FEDs made the wrong decisions (but necessary geopolitical decisions) in 1928 to tighten the money supply.
Like it seems now, but more realistic then, war loomed on the horizon. The war planners were already planning for the armistice to end, like a Mexican standoff. It's why Silver, Tungsten, and copper mines were raging through the entire depression. If you owned anything that went into munitions you did great.
I am eager to see what BTC does at this decision point. But it has to prove it's not a bull trap, and that's around $41,000.
You can hedge your position "take profit" at $41k BTC if it helps you sleep at night.

*New Story* Do autonomous trucks dream of CW McCall?
I've got some serial stories I'd like to tell about living with (and in) technology and the industry.
Do autonomous trucks dream of CW McCall?
Falstaff’s story
“For a bright shining moment, we added a lot of shareholder value”. Falstaff had a comic with that caption in his double sized cubicle, the kind reserved for senior engineers. For a while he thought it showed that he didn’t fully buy into the corporate line, but that he’d still do as he was told as long as he had a shot at the big payout. RSUs, the big acquisition. The end of year bonus. That was the deal in the before time, when things mostly worked out for most people it seemed.
Falstaff knew he wasn’t the smartest, but he didn’t complain, didn’t pick fights and lived pretty well. His bad habits didn’t impact his work life and he still might hit it big enough to quit and try something else. To have options.
Then everything happened at once. The fires. The diseases. The chaos. Nobody knew who was in charge for a year or so. Things came back. A few years passed and the wealthy parts of the coastal cities looked shiny again. Most people called it normal. To the casual eye, it was. You could still get sushi delivered to the office late at night, ski in the Rockies if you could take the time off. Things were pretty good if you stayed where you belonged and kept your metrics up. Things fell off as you went East or to the not-so-quaint rural areas that couldn’t swing a music festival or good photo opportunities for social media. Go far enough and you found the places where the Feds just walked away. Not our problem any more.
That’s how Falstaff saw the world and his place in it. He had’nt had much sleep. Drugs, risky behavior and the self-loathing kept him occupied, making his morning commute that much less pleasant. He stopped staring at the RVs and tents parked on the land next to the on-ramp as he got on the 101. He jabbed the infotainment system to find some noise to sooth or at least distract him.
“Today, the Department of Energy announced that repairs have been completed ahead of schedule for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. Radiation levels are now below acceptable levels for the first time in three years”
“We’ve got an autonomous truck accident with a car by Exit 6 on the 280 Eastbound, so expect delays while CHP and a support team from Freightliner gets that cleaned up”
It didn’t work. He still felt adrift and unhappy in the morning commute, so he silenced the radio and drove to the office.
The office was uneventful. Park, security checkpoint, a long walk to his building, a coffee on the way to his cubicle. He pulled the privacy screen closed behind him and sat down. A quick scan of his eyes and there was his project- a payment processing application that would cut out another payment application for a small percentage of a massive stream of money.
He looked over last night’s chatter, split the tasks into ‘do the work’ and ‘show that I’m adding value’ categories.
The fear and sadness caught up with him. He wasn’t ever going to get out. If he ran as fast as he could, he’d stay exactly where he was until his rent outpaced his income. His stock options would vest just fast enough to keep him going, but he’d never get out.
The morning dragged. Tweak this, report this to someone else. The bureaucratic minutiae and make-work washed over him until lunch. He looked forward to lunch with Tran, hoping that might get him out of his funk. Tran wasn’t so much a friend as one of the few people who admitted how screwed up everything was, so there wasn’t any danger of speaking the obvious and getting a negative reputation.
Tran was out today, so Falstaff ate leftovers and instant noodles in his cubicle.
His phone buzzed. There was a message on MomTalk, a chat for wealthy mothers to discuss brunch, day drinking and their children.
An engineer friend of Falstaff’s set it up as a joke to lampoon the women she couldn’t stand and her friends played along, adopting over the top personae and complaining about nonexistent spouses and domestic staff. After things came back, it was a way to talk freely, if in code.
Heather: Hey. I’m in deep trouble. The Nanny’s unhappy and I need someone to pick up the kids.
Falstaff sighed. Tran must need something.
Sheila: Missed you for lunch. Not feeling well?
Heather: Serious. My kid is stuck under my desk and I need him to come home. UNDERSTAND? NOW!
He got up, took his brown cardboard biodegradable instant noodle container and walked a few rows over to Tran’s cubicle. Where Falstaff’s cube was disorganized and well worn, Tran’s was sparse with better furniture. Falstaff felt under the desk and noticed a decal with one end loose. A quick pull and the label peeled off into his hand, along with a small flash memory card, the size of a fingernail.
He stood up and quickly looked up and down the aisle between the cubicles. Nobody noticed. Nobody really paid much attention to him on a good day unless they needed something from him anyway.
Back in his own cubicle, he went back to the chat:
Sheila: How urgent is this? Chip can have dinner with us or we can drop him off on the way to fencing class.
Falstaff was concerned. Tran didn’t make jokes. Laughing at Falstaff’s attempts at humor was enough. He had figured that Tran’s talk of ‘having gangsters in his family’ was an attempt to seem dangerous despite being a cubicle denizen, the way middle aged men bought loud motorcycles that they never rode.
He folded the decal over the card, pressed the sides together and dropped it in the instant noodle cup, then pushed it down with the corn-plastic chopsticks.
The background chatter got quiet and multiple employees raised their heads prairie-dog like. Several members of the company security detail were looking through Tran’s cubicle. Geoff, the brush-cut ex-cop security guard for this building was standing in the aisle attempting to look like he mattered to the operation as the more polished and definitely better paid detail carefully boxed the contents of Tran’s cubicle.
Falstaff picked up his phone and noodle container and started walking towards an exit away from the commotion. Geoff noticed and walked briskly after him. As Falstaff walked out of the building, Geoff called out his real name, then jogged behind him, puffing his half a size too small corporate logo’d golf shirt.
Ironed golf shirt.
Falstaff heard Geoff behind him, but decided to ignore him. Geoff was a blue-badged contractor, safely ignored. Normally.
Geoff ran in front of him and blocked his path to the parking garage.
“You wouldn’t happen to know where Tran is, would you? I’ve seen you with him ”
Falstaff tapped on his white badge. “You’re not my real dad. You can’t tell me what to do”
Falstaff squeezed past him into the parking garage’s doorway.
Geoff glared at him while Falstaff got in his car and put the noodle carton in the fancy retracting cupholder. He started his car and drove off as calmly as he could manage. Despite his attempt at seeming indifferent, his mind was racing. He attempted to make good time without getting attention. Luckily, silver Porsches were a cliché and therefore almost invisible in the Valley.
Twenty minutes later, he was in his mid-grade two bedroom apartment overlooking the parking lot. His cat, Hank, greeted him with a raised head and half open eyes.
Falstaff gave the cat some perfunctory petting, while trying to sequence the next few tasks.
He went to the refrigerator in the kitchen, carrying the ramen cup in one hand. He selected a can of energy drink and thought for a second.
His smartwatch and phone went in the freezer. Fishing the wrapped memory card out of the cup, he picked up the can and walked to his couch, where a bestickered high end laptop rested. Debating between speed and security, he turned off networking on his laptop, then inserted the card into the laptop gingerly, mounting it read-only in case Tran left something aggressive on the card.
Huh. A couple really large encrypted files. And seven smaller files with long filenames of seemingly random numbers and letters. He ejected the card and gingerly placed it on the arm of the couch.
The file names were bitcoin addressses. A lookup showed a total value of almost $600 million in value there.
The files themselves were encrypted. Falstaff stared at the wall for a minute or two, then realized that Tran had decided to quit and take an unauthorized retirement bonus from their shared employer. Enough money to kill for.
Who knew about this, and more importantly, who knew Falstaff had the key? Tran did. Perhaps his gangster friends knew.
He pulled his phone out of the freezer. A few project related emails and three MomTalk direct messages.
Heather:Where y’at?
Heather:I have investors. They’re quite insistent. They’re on their way to you.
It was time to go. Now.
Falstaff put the laptop down and ran to his bedroom. He pawed through a closet and pulled out the giant duffel he used to carry two week’s laundry from his grad student apartment to the cheaper off-campus laundromat. He quickly shoved a variety of clothes, some scuffed hiking boots and some corporate branded technical outdoors gear into it.
Behind a shelf, he found a long, antiquated Russian bolt-action rifle and a few paper-wrapped boxes of bullets. It wasn’t the firearm someone on the run would want, but it’s what he had. It went into the duffle bag, which he dragged into the living room. Hank jumped down and inspected the bag.
“Hank, I’ll hook you up in a second”
A quick scour of the kitchen and Falstaff had two thick trashbags and a box of water jugs with his current employer’s old logo on them, which he emptied into the sink and turned on the faucet.
As the sink filled, he filled the trashbags with whatever looked useful- tools, hobby electronics, his laptop and cat food. He pulled out a fat stack of cash from the bottom of his drug stash box. He contemplated forced sobriety, then carefully closed the box and put it in the bag, along with the cash.
Don’t change everything at once, he thought. Now isn’t the time to risk sobriety.
Falstaff rummaged around in the hall closet and dug out a bright pink cat carrier and stuffed Hank into it, then turned to the overflowing sink in his kitchen. He opened and filled the bottles in what he hoped was an efficient use of time, then pushed them back into the box.
His phone buzzed again. He contemplated throwing it back in the freezer, then thought better of it, shoving it and the watch back in his pocket.
Hank started meowing.
“We’re not going to the vet today, dude. Shut it for now”
Falstaff looked out his window. Typical traffic. Typical parking lot. A few charging stations, a fence and tents on the other side. He opened the window and threw the bags into the bushes below. He picked up Hank’s carrier, his laptop and looked at the box of water bottles.
Wait. Stop. Think. Breathe.
Tran’s card. A minute of searching found where he left it on the couch. He stuck that in his pocket, then ran out of his apartment. He considered the elevator, then decided on the stairs as they were closer to the bags and his car.
A few minutes of pushing and shoving had the trash bags in the front trunk , the oversized duffle in the passenger seat and Hank’s carrier seat belted in the tiny back seat. He spun the tires and entered the flow of traffic, such as it was.
He looked at his phone. More people seemed to want a response. Ignoring them, he found the closest florist’s shop and fifteen minutes later, pulled into the strip mall that contained it.
A few minutes later, he was in possession of three “Birthday Balloon Extravaganzas”, finishing off the shop’s tank of helium and a bit of Falstaff’s cash. He tied the strings around his smartwatch and let it rise and drift past the confines of the parking lot. The hastily constructed wad of tape and ribbon connecting his phone to the other two Extravaganzas generated a more labored flight, but eventually it drifted away. He looked into the shop’s camera and flipped it the bird as he left and jumped back in his car.
Soon he was back on the road, relaxing with his elbow out the window. Despite the stop and go traffic, he felt safe enough to relax and make longer range plans. Even Hank had settled down for the moment. The hot air felt less oppressive somehow. He contemplated the right set of music for an escape from civilization, trying on a few genres to decide. The screen also showed that the freeway was less than a quarter mile on the right and traffic would be light.
Then he looked again at the screen and thought about antennas. His radio talked to the cell tower, which talked to the Internet. Every application knew where he was.
Which meant Tran’s investors or their ex-employer could know as well.
One hand on the wheel, he looked around for something to pull the radio out of the dashboard. Hank meowed.
“You have an idea? No? Please be quiet”
Rummaging around in the glove box, he noticed an old folding knife. Falstaff slowly pried the radio from the dashboard while occasionally looking up at the tailgate of a modern SUV ahead of him. Realizing there was a rear-facing camera on the SUV staring at him, he slid down below the dash as best he could.
A few more stop and go cycles and the radio was free of the dash. He unplugged cables by feel, but one took his attention away from the road while he pried at it with his knife
He was distracted by a horn blast by his ear. Another SUV was forcing itself into his lane while the driver gesticulated at him.
Falstaff reciprocated by waving angrily at him, knife still in hand. The driver of the SUV held the horn down, angering Falstaff enough to open the window and throw the now free radio at the noise.
Feeling the embarrassment, he jerked the wheel to the right and accelerated into the bicycle lane with a chirp of tires and howl from the engine behind him.
A minute later, he was on the highway, quickly leaving Silicon Valley. He hoped to make the Nevada line before anyone figured out what he was doing.

17 Apps That Will Save You Money Passively (Best Passive Saving Apps 2018)
Part 1
This post was too long for reddit's character limit, so I've split the post into two separate posts. This is part one. Click below or at the bottom of this post to continue on to part 2. Thanks!
Click here for part 2.
Since we're right in the holiday season and I've gotten a lot of requests to update this post again, I'm deciding to give it another go for Q4 2018. Hopefully this post goes up at a convenient time since right now is around the time where many people are out and about holiday shopping. If you've read this post in the past and you've used some of these apps/sites in the past but have since stopped, I'd really encourage you to reread this post if anything sounds interesting. I've actually rewritten much this post this time around, so everything here should be up to date.
My goal is that if you read this post and use some of the apps I suggest, you can find yourself making/saving as much as 5-10%+ of your entire purchase in the form of cash back, and the best thing is that in many cases, these apps will stack savings for you, meaning that you'll be getting all of these savings on top of any coupons you might already have. What's nice about this post is that one you set some of these apps up, you can just let them be for months or even years and one day come back and see a ton of money sitting there waiting for you.
Anyways, that'll conclude my prologue for this post, so let's get started!
17 Ways to Save Money Passively 2018
Credit Cards
I've refrained from listing credit cards on this post for a long time. Maybe because I thought it was too obvious, or maybe it was unnecessary, but since the number of younger people using this subreddit has been increasing, I think it's good to introduce it right at the beginning of this post.
If you think you might be interested in trying out the Chase Freedom Unlimited card, you can read more about it here. Do note that this is a referral link, and I'll earn $100 if you end up getting the card (thanks!) You'll also earn yourself a $150 cash back bonus once you spend $500 with the card in the first 3 months of having the card.
EDIT: As jeffiesos points out, there appears to be a $200 public offer available here, which might not be available if you sign up through my referral.
Drop - (iOS | Android)
Ref = fish
Drop is a passive loyalty program that allows you to choose 5 popular stores where you'll earn cash back (automatically) at as soon as you shop at them (both online or in store). You'll start off by linking your cards to drop (credit or debit), and they'll automatically track your purchases and once they notice a purchase from one of the 5 stores that you selected, you'll automatically earn cash back in the form of drop points which can be redeemed for instant gift cards to several stores.
As mentioned above, once you register you'll be presented with a list of store options. Do note that the stores you choose might be stuck with you forever, so pick stores you plan on shopping at a lot in the future, since you might never get the opportunity to change them.
For a new user signing up today, here are the current options you'll be presented and the corresponding rate:
• Walmart (2 pts/$ | 0.2%)
• Target (8 pts/$ | 0.8%)
• Starbucks ( 12 pts/$ | 1.2%)
• Uber (10 pts/$ | 1.0%)
• McDonald's (8 pts/$ | 0.8%)
• Lyft (10 pts/$ | 1.0%)
• Walgreens (8 pts/$ | 0.8%)
• Chipotle (12pts/$ | 1.2%)
• Seamless (16 pts/$ | 1.6%)
• HEB (10 pts/$ | 1.0%)
• Fred Meyers (12 pts/$ | 1.2%)
• 7-Eleven (16 pts/$ | 1.6%)
• Safeway (8 pts/$ | 0.8%)
• Trader Joe's (12 pts/$ | 1.2%)
• Peets Coffee (8 pts/$ | 0.8%)
• Blue Bottle (8 pts/$ | 0.8%)
• Macy's (8 pts/$ | 0.8%)
• Dunkin' (14 pts/$ | 1.4%)
• Bath & Body Works (15 pts/$ | 1.5%)
• Whole Foods (8 pts/$ | 0.8%)
Do note that this list may change at any time, but historically whatever rate you receive when you sign up is the rate that will be locked in for you.
Here are a couple things that are worth noting:
• Minimum cash out is $5 (5,000 points). If you're looking for Amazon, the minimum will be $10 (10,000 points).
• It is stated on Drop's TOS that you can only earn 5,000 points ($5) per week with your ongoing offers (the ongoing offers are the offers you initially sign up for when you register, aka: the 5 stores you pick from the list above). However, from my experience, the limit doesn't seem to be enforced. The limit does, however appear to be 5,000 points per transaction maximum.
• I recommend reading the TOS because there are some things listed that might be worth paying attention to, especially the limitations as well as qualifying transactions.
Other ways to earn with drop:
While the passive options have already been discussed, I think it's important to highlight some other features that the Drop app provides. In addition to your ongoing offers, you can also earn on Drop by participating in mini game challenges, one time offers, mobile offers/linked offers, Supercharge mini game, and referring friends.
Let's talk a little about that:
• Mini Games:From time to time (multiple times per week), drop will have a short mini game session where you'll be invited to play a short game, such as a matching game. You'll be given a time period to play the game, and whatever score you post is the score you'll be judged on. The game usually takes just a minute or two. The top placers will often receive a prize, such as a $100 gift card or some crazy amount of Drop points, but all of the other placers will usually receive drop points just for participating. Depending on your score you can usually receive anywhere from 15-60 drop points for playing the mini game.
• One-Time Offers: Every once in a while you'll receive a one-time offer to one of the store options for the ongoing offers that you didn't select. For example, I've gotten an offer something like 'earn 500 points when you spend $30+ at Nike using a linked card'.
• Mobile Offers: If you're looking to shop somewhere online, Drop can also act as a portal to earn you cash back for your entire purchase. For example, as of posting you can receive 20 points/$ on Walmart.com when you shop through the Drop app. The Drop app historically has had some really good deals with their offers, so it's a good idea to check them frequently. For example, they recently had 10% cash back at Apple, which worked to net people 10% cash back on a new iPhone purchase.
• Supercharge Mini Game: The Drop supercharge is a neat feature that rewards you for shopping at the stores for your ongoing offers. Every 5 times you shop at your linked stores, you'll be able to play drop supercharge, which is basically just a game of snake. Each dot you eat will earn you an additional 1+ drop points, and you get 3 lives. You play until you lose and keep what you win. It's really not hard to get a score of at least 200, so if you think about it, it should be a bonus of $0.20 (at the bare minimum) for every 5 times you shop at one of your linked stores.
• Referrals: Drop's referral scheme is really nice right about now. With Drop you can currently refer a friend and receive $5 when they sign up, and your referral will earn $5 when they sign up as well. So when it really boils down to it, as of posting someone could sign up under a referral, link a card, and instantly cash out a $5 gift card without actually doing anything. If anyone's interested in supporting me, you can use my referral code: 5ajb9 and we'll both earn $5 when you sign up :)!
Bumped - Sign up & join waitlist!
Bumped is a new addition to this list. Bumped was originally discussed for the first time over a year ago on /Beermoney, but has recently started accepting more people into the program, so I think it's a good time to add this wonderful app to this list.

Pei ref = fish
Pei is another new automatic cash back app, very similar to Drop & Spent (listed below). Pei is (as of posting) in an invite only system and they seem to be slowly letting users in. I was able to get early access since I'm 'Media'. When you sign up you might be able to register with my referral code: fish.
pei_tom is the CEO of Pei and he has also been letting everyone (AFAIK) who sends him a PM into Pei without needing to wait. Here's a comment he left on the previous post:
I wanted to start by reassuring everyone that we are bringing people on everyday and are moving quick to make sure we can make Pei the best service for unlocking card benefits directly from retailers. If you have not received an invite code and you are a part of this community, we want to get you on ASAP! Please feel free to dm me or reach out to [email protected] and we will get you on.
Pros of Pei:
• Cash Back at a lot of locations (way more than any of the other Empyr apps).
• Cash out via PayPal, Bitcoin, or Prepaid Visa.
• Stacks w/ Drop & Spent
• Panda Express - 1.5%
• Target - 1%
• Petco - 1%
• PetSmart - 1%
• Sephora - 1%
• Banana Republic - 1%
• American Eagle Outfitters - 1%
• Gap - 1%
• Old Navy - 1%
• Chipotle - 1.2%
• Taco Bell - 2%
• Dominos Pizza - 1.5%
• CVS - 1%
• Starbucks - 1%
• AMC - 2%
• GameStop - 1.2%
• Subway - 1.5%
• 7-Eleven - 1%
• Dunkin' Donuts - 1.5%
• Walgreens - 1%
• Nordstrom - 1%
• Supercuts - 2%
• ZARA - 1.2%
• Express - 1%
• H&M - 1.2%
• Urban Outfitters - 1%
• + Local locations - ~5%
In addition to receiving cash back at many locations, Pei also just recently added a 'loyalty bonus' where if you shop at a certain store 5x you'll earn a bonus of $0.50!
The one important thing to note about Pei is that it does run on the Empyr network. I was in contact with Pei about this and they confirmed that if you link a different Empyr app you will no longer receive the benefits from Pei. This is different from Spent since with Spent you can link your card (at which point your card will unlink from your previous Empyr app), but then link your card to a different Empyr app and you'll still get the 1% cash back offers to pay out. Just the local offers on Spent won't pay out. With Pei if you unlink your card, the whole app might break.
I also want to clarify limits for Pei, similarly to how I clarified limits for Drop. Pei currently has a limit of 500 points per day from certain larger brands. For example, I shopped at Target and spent over $1000 but only 500 points posted. Do keep this in mind if you're planning on shopping somewhere and you plan to spend a lot.
Also, since Pei is a newer addition, you might have some additional questions. Pei's support has been top-notch, even responding to me as early as 3 AM on a weekend, so don't be afraid to email and ask them anything, [email protected].
Spent (iOS | Android)
EDIT: Spent Rewards seems to have died. App has been removed from both the Play Store and the App Store, and they tweeted here
Spent is very similar to Drop... so if you like Drop, chances are you'll also enjoy Spent. Unlike Drop, with spent you'll earn 1% cash back at all of the stores they offer, so you don't need to pick just your favorites. Here are all of the stores that Spent offers 1% cash back at:
• McDonald's
• Uber
• Starbucks
• ExxonMobil
• 7-Eleven
• iTunes
• Netflix
• Chick-Fil-A
• Whole Foods
• Shell
• Chevron
There are a few things about Spent that are better than Drop, but there are also a few things that are negatives here.
I'll go ahead and make a nice little pros/cons list of Spent.
Pros of Spent:
• PayPal cash outs.
• Manage transactions in the app.
• Cash out minimum $0.01 w/ Gift Card Discount
Cons of Spent:
• $20 Minimum cash out (PayPal).
• Cash Back takes 1 month to get approved from pending.
Spent is also similar to Drop because you must link your bank account to it. This seems to be a common trend with these apps. And yes, Spent does stack with Drop, but Spent might not stack with other Empyr apps. You'll learn more about Empyr later in this post, or just CTRL+F for "Empyr". Just note that when you link a card with Spent you might have just unlinked your card from another Empyr app.
One thing I want to update about Spent is how cash outs work now. Since the original post a year ago I think it's important to note some changes. Cash outs for Spent are done through PayPal at $20 minimum. However, in the app they now have an option for you to purchase gift cards at a discount. So for example, you could be somewhere that Spent doesn't support.. Let's say Papa John's... and they'll let you buy a Papa John's gift card on the app and you'll receive 3% back. If you have any cash back balance you'll be able to use that to help pay for the gift card (or pay for it entirely, if you have enough balance). I can see this being a viable "cash out" option for users who feel like they'll never hit the $20 minimum. It won't be a free gift card, but a discount nonetheless. Do note that if you're someone who is only using drop for the 1% cash back at the select retailers listed above it will take you $2000 in spend to reach the $20 minimum cash out. That could take a while for some people, depending on how much you spend at these places.
One other thing about Spent that's worth mentioning is that it does also offer shopping portals online (spentapp.com) and you'll be able to find cash back for Travel/Hotels/Rental Cars. Just something worth checking out if you're interested in it. They also have an app called Spent Travel you might want to check out.
CoinSeed (Ref | Nonref)
I'll actually start CoinSeed off by mentioning that they have a $5 referral program currently. Both you and your referrer will receive $5 once you invest with CoinSeed, so do keep that in mind since it might come handy later in this portion of the post.
CoinSeed is another addition to this list this time around. CoinSeed originally released about a year ago as an app similar to Acorns, where you're able to passively invest money by setting up a recurring investment or invest through 'rounding up' transactions. What makes CoinSeed different from Acorns is that they will take your money and invest it into cryptocurrency. Just recently they have also added a cash back section to the app which allows you to earn points in the app each time you spend at certain locations. Before we talk about the cash back from this app, I want to talk a bit about what you're getting yourself into.
Since CoinSeed is an app like Acorns, they're expecting you to use the app to invest money. If you're reading this and you're actually thinking that you'd be interested in using this app to invest into Bitcoin, there are a couple things I think should be pointed out. 1. There is a 1% fee taken from each deposit. 2. There is a fee of $1 per month that you use the app. I've reached out to CoinSeed to clarify what causes the fee to be charged, but they have not yet responded. Your first month is waived, so the fee will only kick in on the second month. In theory, if you're using this app solely for the sake of earning the cash back (which we'll talk about in just a second), there should actually be no $1 monthly fee. The wording is confusing, but it seems like the fee will only apply if you deposit and invest in the given month. So let's talk about cash back.
Similar to many apps on this list, you'll link your cards to CoinSeed and that's how they'll track your transactions. CoinSeed actually has two different cash back offers. First of all they offer regular portals in the app. For example, shop at through our link and earn cash back! The reason I think this is important is because currently they're offering 2% cash back at Amazon.com when you shop through their link. Cash back is uncommon enough to find at amazon, but what's great is that the only restrictions listed is, "Doesn't apply on Gift Card." Which makes me think that so long as you're buying anything other than gift cards, you should be eligible for the 2% cash back. I've reached out to CoinSeed to clarify exactly what they mean by that (whether or not it is referring to just Amazon gift cards or third party gift cards as well).
The other offers on the app, which they call "Premium" are the passive cash back options, meaning that every time you spend at any of the brands listed, you'll earn cash back. Here are the options that are currently available:
• Uber (1% cashback)
• Netflix (1% cashback)
• Starbucks (1% cashback)
• 7-Eleven (1% cashback)
There's one issue, though. When you try to activate the premium offers, a popup will appear saying, "Sorry, this feature is only available for users who have made an investment using the auto investing feature." What this is essentially saying is that in order to earn cash back from premium offers you must invest with the app. I reached out to CoinSeed to try and figure out what exactly would qualify as using the auto investing feature, so I'll update this post once I get a response.
Here's an ideal scenario in my head for how the average user could get these offers to work:
Once you've linked a bank account and cards, set up a 'recurring investment' of $5 (which will trigger the $5 referral bonus). You should see $10 worth of cryptocurrency purchased in your account once the investment goes through. At this point you'll turn off the recurring investment (unless, of course, you'd like for it to continue) and you should not ever incur the $1 fee since it's your first month. AFAIK you won't ever have to incur that $1 fee unless you invest again after the month. At this point you've gotten a free $5 worth of crypto and you should now have access to the premium offers. I also believe that you can cash out your investment as soon as you'd like.
Of course, this is a good scenario that nobody has tested, so feel free to be a guinea pig :) I'm still waiting to hear back from CoinSeed to confirm that this is a viable option for members who want to earn cash back.
This is still a really new addition to this list, so feel free to try it or feel free to come back (probably in a few months) when this post gets another update.

The Mother of Exiles and the Destruction of Babylon
Regulus is a part of the constellation Leo and considered "the heart of the lion". Considering Regulus is a very important star in Trump's birth chart apparently, and that star was known as The King in Babylon (known as the little king as well in other places), that would make Trump the King of Babylon.
On Thursday, March 20 2014, Regulus will participate in a rare celestial event when an asteroid passes directly in front of the star, as seen from Earth. The asteroid in question is 163 Erigone. Asteroid 163 Erigone is about 45 miles (72 km) wide, but its "shadow" slanting to Earth's surface will be 67 miles (108 km) wide.
This "once in a lifetime event" eclipsing right over New York. Where the Statue of Liberty is.
Revelations 17
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet
and was glittering with gold
precious stones and pearls.
In the torch, the flames are covered in gold. Looks enough like a cup. Also, in Isaiah 14:12 (another prophecy detailing the fall of Babylon that I didn't bother copying and pasting all of here) it refers to Babylon (or it's king) as "Lucifer, son of the morning". Lucifer means "light bringer" (hence the torch and the statue's original name being Liberty Enlightening the World) or "morning star" which is another name for the planet Venus which is associated with Inanna/Ishtar.
The 10 kings + the beast = 11.
It has 7 spikes coming out of the head.
We're a very diverse country and Lady Liberty represents us taking in people from all countries. We pretty much control the world (for now) as the 7 hills represents the 7 continents, which is literally what is said they represent. Plus she's literally sitting on an island in the water.
Then there's the poem that is inside the base.
The New Colossus
The Mother of exiles.
Prophecies of the Destruction of Babylon / America / New York
Jeremiah 51
Well, we're definitely hearing of rumors of violence here in America and if there aren't rumors of ruler against ruler, we're going hear them soon.
With the eclipse of Regulus in 2014 for 14 seconds right over New York. I think they might get hit with something major. Maybe a hurricane. This season is suppose to be bad and FEMA is saying they are completely unprepared. I'm sure that wasn't on purpose or anything. I think maybe a big earthquake might happen soon too in the next month. Seeing a lot of weird shit. A lot of polarity with the planets and asteroids. I think it's all connected to our polarity as the Trump Delusion continues. You seeing these reports and videos of these racist people just saying mean shit to people all over the place now for no reason? They're lashing out because they're scared their delusion bubble might burst so they're acting out. It's only going to escalate until both sides completely lose their fucking minds.
The New Roman Empire / Fourth Reich & The Double Headed Eagle of Lagash
Welcome to General Election 2016 – The Transition
The Hegelian Dialectic is the transition of things. And the Illuminati loves to use it. We have been expecting it.
We have read about it. And now it is here, in front of our faces. And many are IGNORING it.
Folks, we are witnessing Hegelian logic on display.
How we got here is an aside, but here we are. The disease is Hillary, and the medicine is Trump. For most folks, that’s all that matters. Case closed. What most citizens do not realize is that this is all a ruse. A mirage.
It is being carried by, “they.”
“They” are using the illusion, because America was stationary and stubborn.
“You can’t New World Order me!” Americans said, “…Because we know about you.”
Did the globalists go away and cry in their beer? Nope. They knew this would happen. It was expected. Butsome of the citizens heard a few radio shows that told them, “we’re gonna win.”
Hegel’s dialectic utilizes the “mirage.” And then steers the people through its house of mirrors with scary monsters. In America’s case, the monster is a short woman with a trucker’s voice named Hillary. Their task is simple. Globalism. But how do they get there?
Scare them with the Thesis – Hillary / the Enemy of Freedom.
And offset her with the Anti-thesis – Donald the Lion-Hearted / Champion of the People.
…Next stop – the Synthesis. Ashes with a rising phoenix.
It's right there in front of us. Do you see it folks?
This is also known as
Problem > Reaction > Solution
Ultimately this is leading to:
Problem: Trump vs Deep State
Reaction: Global Disaster
Solution: One world government and one world currency
They say this is a double headed eagle, it's not. It's a double headed Phoenix. And it's the symbol of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonary.
“The Double Headed Eagle of Lagash” is the oldest Royal Crest in the World… No emblematic device of today can boast of such antiquity. Its origin has been traced to the ancient city of Lagash. It was in use a thousand years before the Exodus from Egypt and more than two thousand years before the building of “King Solomon’s Temple.”
“As time rolled on, it passed from the Sumerians to the men of Akkad, from the men of Akkad to the Hittites, from the denizens of Asia Minor to the Seljukian Sultans from whom it was brought by the Crusaders to the Emperors of the East and West, whose successors were the Hapsburgs and the Romanoffs.”
“In recent excavations, the city-emblem of Lagash was disclosed also as a lion headed eagle sinking his claws into the bodies of two lions standing back to back. This is evidently a variant of the other eagle symbol”.
“The city of Lagash is in Sumer in Southern Babylonia, between the Euphrates and the Tigris and near the modern Shatra in Iraq, Lagash had a calendar of twelve lunar months, a system of weights and measures, a banking and accounting system and was a center of art, literature, military and political power, five thousand years before Christ”.
“In 102 B.C. the Roman Consul Marius decreed that the Eagle be displayed as a symbol of Imperial Rome. Later, as a world power, Rome used the Double-Headed Eagle, one head facing the East the other facing the West, symbolizing the universality and unity of the Empire. The Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire continued its use and the symbol was adopted later in Germany during the halcyon days of conquest and imperial power”.
So far as is known, the Double-Headed Eagle was first used in Freemasonry in 1758 by a Masonic Body in Paris – the Emperors of the East and West. During a brief period the Masonic Emperors of the East and West controlled the advanced degrees then in use and became a precursor of the “Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite”.
The Latin caption under the Double-Headed Eagle – “Spes Mea in Deo Est” translated is “My Hope Is In God”.
A part of this sounds familiar
So it represented the universality and unity of the Empire of Rome and was later adopted by Germany during their days of conquest and imperial power. For these Freemasons, it represents two emperors, one from the east and one from the west coming together to create one empire. Hmm.. I wonder if that has any significance to today's world.
The imperial bird with two heads simultaneously facing East and West has been Russia’s official coat of arms for centuries, with only a break during the Soviet era. The emblem, however, is far older than the country, with roots dating to ancient civilizations.
An eagle on a country’s coat of arms is quite common – this bird is as popular a national symbol as the lion. “He is the king of birds; just like the lion is believed to rule all animals, and he is associated with the cult of the sun,” Georgy Vilinbakhov, head of Russia’s Heraldic Council, explains.
So Trump's new coat of arms has the same symbol as Russia which symbolizes 2 empires, one from the east and one from the west, combining into one.
Does the way they dress look familiar to anyone?
The Rise of The Phoenix and One World Currency
Title of article: Get Ready for the Phoenix
So it was a random Sunday: bed, eat, repeat until I went online and I saw a link by a new user called @limon. There was a small introduction to a YouTube video which at first glance didn’t look interesting, but what the hell? Lets read this.
He talked about an article from The Economist, year 1988, coin, phoenix and then Zoin… wtf?
Anyways, I opened the link (don’t open links from strangers) and watched the video in Youtube, (it’s in Spanish)
@limon claims in the video (minute 5) that he actually found a not so well know cryptocurrency (yet) by doing some research on an article from 1988 and he is somehow convinced it’s going to be huge. Yes, @limon saw the writing and thought maybe I should check this and find out which is the coin of the future.
As crazy as it seems, finding a cryptocurrency by doing research on a 1988 magazine its quite incredible. Is it a coincidence or is it a prediction? Not even @limon knows, but there’s a few things that can blow up your mind here.
This is the article from 1988. It claims that there will be a currency (referred as “phoenix”) that will be used by everybody in several countries in 2018.
So yes, you all might say “the coin is called the Phoenix”. There’s actually a coin called Phoenixcoin but that didn’t seem to convince @limon once he checked it out in www.coinmarketcap.com (it sucked even for @limon who wanted to believe with all his heart)
But @limon didn’t give up, he thought what if its hidden? So he decided to take a closer look at the magazine cover.
He noticed that he could read the letters backward (um…interesting)
He got XIN3ONd NET by reading the cover letter backwards and he said well, XIN is Chinese, and found out in google translator that XIN meant NEW.
Then 3ONd he looked at it and thought this is Russian… and it was. That weird word that would not mean anything to someone meant something for @limon so he decided to google translate it.
Well yeah 3ONd is Russian and means ZOI, but wait is this a coin? @Limon decided to search “ZOI” in www.coinmarketcap.com.
WOW, Zoin existed. He ended up with the sentence NEW ZOI NET, in which Zoi was an actual currency.
He starting searching now all about Zoin (DYOR) and liked everything he saw. The team, the community and development its very much updated.
Got even more carried away when he saw Zoin’s logo:
And when he researched even deeper, he found out that ZOIN was left by its first developer and got taken over by its community from all over the world.
Yes, Zoin emerged from the ashes. What? wait. Zoin is also a Phoenix.
Anyways, @limon found all the signs of a prophecy from 1988.
He couldn’t wait so he joined Zoin’s community and shared his video.
By the way he bought some Zoin. After finding the last lost prophecy he had no plans on missing out.
Check all about Zoin in the following links.
You can reach out to the team on Discord, website address is www.zoinofficial.com and their twitter @zoinofficial
You better don’t miss it. Its a prophecy.
Thank you limon.
Notice the year on the coin and at the end of the article, 2018. "Pencil in the phoenix for around 2018, and welcome it when it comes". Trump and Russia both have a double headed Phoenix signifying the union of an Empire. This article talks about a one world currency called "Phoenix" coming in 2018. The number 10 upside down is 01. It's a bit on a coin
I posted about an Israeli company that can do things with blockchain and DNA in my previous postings on this topic. I think that this will have something to do with the Mark of the Beast.
Trump is the Tip of the Spear for the NWO Plan
Notice the spear tip coming out of the Phoenix's head on the cover of the Economist magazine? Trump. has a spear on top of both of his coat of arm. Trump is the tip of the sphere. I think once he's fulfilled his purpose in wrecking everything and nuking North Korea, I think they might have someone take him out. Then things would get even crazier.

Transcript of Proof of Stake & Name Discussion in Slack
Discussion starts off around Tone Vays’ Decred segment
sambiohazard: he is generally pessimistic about altcoins
praxis: Yes, he's a notorious Bitcoin maximalist.
simmysong: what’d he say about decred?
ty13r: weren't you watching the show? @jimmysong I saw your name in the chat
jimmysong: I popped in just now but then he wasn’t talking decred anymore so i left I also didn’t say anything
ty13r: @jimmysong good to know :slightly_smiling_face:
jrick: oh i found my next avatar
ty13r: @jimmysong he talked about the chart for a minute. I'm not sure what else he said prior. not sure what he said after either lol
go1dfish: sounds like he’s fundamentally opposed to proof of stake
sambiohazard: he just said there is probably downside on price, and maybe its warranted for goo future growth he hadnt researched/read about fundamentals so pure TA
ty13r: sounds like he won't like decred because it's has a form of proof of stake built into the protocol sounds like he hates all ideas related to proof of stake
pvtwarren: he hates all ideas that are not bitcoin pretty much
ty13r: except monero and ethereum i guess
pvtwarren: he doesn't hate ethereum?
ty13r: apparently monero and ethereum deserve to be #2 and #3 not sure I don't see why he wouldn't
pvtwarren: back in January I remember he was still calling it a scam maybe I remember incorrectly
cryptocasca: His problem with PoS guys is the "rich people control the blockchain" problem He told me himself
go1dfish: since when is mining cheap?
cryptocasca: He just needs to hear how our devs got around that I'm not agreeing. Obviously. I'm just saying he thinks of PoS is a system where it's the rich people who control the direction of the coin and proletariat eat the crumbs
dustinb: Congrats on the news y'all - what do you think this trend means for the industry at large?
ty13r: Well I'm not exactly sure we really differ. People who hold a lot of decred and stake it, directly control the future of the blockchain.
cryptocasca: I'm not agreeing. Obviously. I'm just saying he thinks of PoS is a system where it's the rich people who control the direction of the coin and proletariat eat the crumbs The more decred you stake the more say you have.
cryptocasca: There's a cap though @ty13r on the ticket amount that can exist
ty13r: No That's what the sdiff algo does
cryptocasca: Well not a hard one Right
ty13r: I think that's nice though Anyone can participate at any time With enough funds of course
cryptocasca: That's not how he spins it. And we need to combat that mentality. He thinks if you're just a mega whale and buy a bunch of coins that you control the show. That essentially DCR is a system run by whales not people
davecgh: So, regardless of the specifics here, I think this is very likely going to be one of those cases where there will simply be a fundamental difference of opinion on the topic. While a lot of people love to rail on the rich as being evil (while simultaneously wanting to be rich -- the hypocrisy there is quite amusing), the fact of the matter is people with more skin in the game have more incentive to keep their stake more valuable. Loving it or hating it won't change the facts.
cryptocasca: Yes. I agree.
ty13r: Yep.
cryptocasca: I think the staking aspect is important here.
ty13r: But same can be said for PoW mining
cryptocasca: The locking up for 28+ days
ty13r: Buy more miners, you have more say. Well also just like PoW mining anyone can participate at any given time. And people are getting paid for putting skin in the game 142 days is a long time in crypto land Which is the period it takes for a ticket to expire.
dustinb: The problem isn't just that the rich have control, it's that the rich get richer. PoS is similar to compound interest.
go1dfish: the power over traditional bitcoins is in the mining hardware and that is not specific to the currency they back, which is why you have worries about bitcoin forks attacking each other
coin_artist: But also earlier contributors who earned decred build the grassroots community
go1dfish: @dustinb I think that’s a large aspecting driving anti-pos perception but it applies similarly to mining hardware
dustinb: Ya @go1dfish - the combination of long term staking + PoW changes things, I need to think more on it. Tendermint's solution has always been the credible threat of hard fork if anyone's stake gets too big.
go1dfish: but mining also ends up specifically favoring some people due to external factors like power pricing
davecgh: The other thing here is something which doesn't exist yet, so it's completely understandable why it's not considered, but there is a huge difference between hard-fork voting and proposal voting.
dustinb: Proposal wouldn't solve it. The non-majority would have to hf.
ty13r: I believe this is another reason why 60% of the reward goes to PoW
davecgh: Hard fork voting is changing the rules. It's the kind of thing where you could destroy the currency if you aren't careful. That, in my opinion, should consequently very much have a high barrier to entry. Proposals, on the other hand, should definitely have a lower barrier to entry and thus would be much more inclusive.
dustinb: Ya - that's the exact reason I like decred, save the hfs for the big stuff.
davecgh: These things are not the same and they shouldn't be treated as such. Again, this is my own opinion. I'm sure not everyone agrees.
ty13r: @davecgh but how will you differentiate them economically?
davecgh: e.g. you wouldn't need a full ticket to vote on proposals, but you would for HFV.
ty13r: You might split tickets 32 times, but 1 ticket is still worth 32 votes.
davecgh: On the HFV side, yes. However, you can count them however you want on the proposal side. It's l2. You don't need to weight them the same.
ty13r: So a split ticket weight might have the same weight as non-split ticket? But if that's the case couldn't someone stake their funds with splits to get more votes? Without some sort of identity system it seems difficult to prevent Sybil attacks in that case.
davecgh: I'm spitballing here, so don't take this as gospel or anything, but you could definitely look at the snapshotting tickets and see there are 40960 tickets in total and those tickets are split up such that there are 163,840 participants. So, when you do the proposal system vote, the majority is required to be X% of 163,840. Meanwhile, the on-chain HFV is still 1 ticket = 1 vote.
dustinb: I like making it difficult to hf, but is the goal to make it impossible? Not only does that goal technically seem unlikely but aren't there some advantages to hf when we have very serious disagreements within a network about how to proceed?
davecgh: It's not impossible at all. There is a very nice distribution of holders.
ty13r: We're referring to the proposal system vote right now
dustinb: ah.
ty13r: Basically the signaling mechanism for work and spending funds.
davecgh : The other thing to keep in mind is that the l2 system can be wildly different if we so choose. You can create HLTCs to locked up funds for "layer 2" tickets that can potentially have arbitrary division. You don't have all of the limitations as the on-chain system.
ty13r: The HF vote makes it real. @dustinb we just had what should have been a contentious vote that passed with ease surprisingly.
davecgh: Then, you still have demonstrable skin in the game, just much much less for participating in the lead-up to a hard fork. However, the actual hard fork vote, a.ka. the thing that actually changes the rules, will, necessarily, use the on-chain system. Again, I totally get this is rather abstract right now since it isn't fully built out and mostly just still in our heads.
ty13r: But doesn't attacking the l2 system pose a larger risk? Definitely :slightly_smiling_face: It's like controlling the seeds And the hf vote is like controlling when to harvest If the seeds never get planted there will never be anything to harvest I'm all in favor of lowering the barrier to entry, but increasing the favor of Sybil attacks seems tough to juggle if tickets can have a different weight on the l2 system.
davecgh: Well, people with more skin in the game will still have more influence. So, the majority would still win in that case. It just means it allows more inclusivity, which I think we all desire.
ty13r: Yeah I think that's fair. @davecgh so could the proposal system have completely separate tickets not related to the HF tickets? For example...
davecgh: If we so desire, absolutely.
ty13r: I have a bunch of decred that I'm not HF staking But there's a proposal vote going on that I want to vote for I lock up tickets in the l2 vote for a week (no reward) and get my funds back after the vote has concluded
davecgh: You'd need to think through the adversarial cases as we've done with the on-chain system in order to prevent the case where you vote, all of your locked funds immediately unlock, and then you dump. So, you'd want some type of randomness factor in there to prevent gaming of it.
ty13r: People HF staking still got to vote as well, but so did I without having to lockup my funds for a longer, unknown period of time. What do you mean by dump?
davecgh: However, from a pure perspective of whether or not it's possible, you can definitely have a different ruleset. For example, one of the biggest differences, everything else aside, is that the voting period duration will be much faster. Rather than taking a full month, only having 5 votes per block, etc, in the proposal system, the vote would go on for, say a week, and so long as you own a ticket, you can vote whenever you want within that period. Notice how that ruleset is entirely different already. I personally can envision a need for differing voting periods too. There will very likely be time-sensitive things that need to be voted on more or less immediately and maybe they are only 2 days. On the end of the spectrum, perhaps there are things that need longer than a week.
moo31337: murmurs something about how not interesting ticket splitting is
davecgh: By dump I mean something like "Lock up a bunch of coins, vote down some proposal, all of my coins immediately unlock, sell all of my coins". If you can do that, you no longer necessarily have any incentive to vote according to increasing your holding's values.
moo31337: you really dont want my raw opinion on it
davecgh: That doesn't apply to the on-chain system because you can't snap vote. Your coins are locked, potentially for months, and you can't influence when they unlock at all. So, if you try vote in a way that would decrease your holding's value, you would be doing so to your own detriment.
ty13r: Let's hear it @moo31337
Davecgh: I can sum it up easily!
ty13r: That's what she said
moo31337: @davecgh nailed it
ty13r: Yeah splitting seems like it has a lot of obstacles
moo31337: I super dont want to write that code
ty13r: @moo31337 assuming increasing the ticket pool size was easy (which I know it's not and could hurt the network) would you be in favor of that? Also increasing votes per block proportionately of course
jy-p: I wouldn't from a on-chain footprint perspective having a "ticket split" similar to a stock split would be a ton of work even having 32 split would lead to a massive footprint for offchain votes in the proposal system let's say you have 100 B for each vote in the proposal system, then take 100 B x 40,960 = ~4 MB for the proposal vote multiply that by 32 to get ~128 MB of offchain data to track for proposals this is one proposal too we'll be experimenting with ways to shrink this footprint soon, so this constraint may improve substantially with time
ty13r: Yeah and on chain votes are even bigger
jy-p: exactly imo, the real solution to the ticket price barrier is to allow tickets to be purchased via a variation on LN
davecgh: Agreed, and that's why I was talking about l2 tickets above.
ty13r: how do you keep people from getting more voting rights though?
davecgh: You don't. Just like in the on-chain system. If you're willing to lock up more funds, you get more influence. However, it allows "smaller fish" to participate too. They just have influence proportional to their stake.
ty13r: But if you own 51% of a ticket you can vote it however you want So you could turn 100 tickets into more tickets
davecgh: Oh, I see your confusion. Yeah, your talking about buying partial tickets. We're talking about just having more tickets period.
ty13r: Ahhh ok sorry So more tickets...but anchored through the LN
davecgh: No worries! Like I said, abstract stuff is always fun to discuss for this reason! Right.
ty13r: I like it.
jy-p: there are a variety of approaches we could take, e.g. fractional voting that is tallied via L2 and rolled into a single ticket we'll start with the simple stuff and see what we can get done first
davecgh: Yeah, one of things you guys might have noticed is we're pretty keen on taking things one step at a time. Trying to do everything half-assed at once is a recipe for failure, imo.
ty13r: So for example you'd have maybe 5 tickets vote directly on chain and 5 tickets vote via LN? Definitely agree with that
davecgh: It might look great on paper when you can tout via marketing that you have X, Y, Z, and a BBQ too! The reality is that if all of those systems are poorly implemented though, it isn't going to make it long term.
moo31337: 40k tickets ought to be enough for everyone one ticket one vote!!!
ty13r: Another reason why I advocate for this project is you guys spend the painstaking time to do things right. So I definitely appreciate the non rush to the finish line mentality.
moo31337: oh there is a rush we just tend not to compromise when it matters I think we need a code is boss meme
davecgh: Right. We do have quite aggressive timelines. However, as @moo31337 said, if we have to bump an estimated release date to make sure something is right, that's what we'll do.
jy-p: speaking of which, i think we're nearing time for 1.1.0 release. that will include the proposal system backend
moo31337: you don’t want my working hours and certainly not @davecgh hours; i dont think anyone understands how @davecgh puts 28 hours in a day
ty13r: I know you guys work your asses off. Feels weird when dave goes offline for a few hours honestly lol Feels like he's been gone for days :joy:
reddit thread suggesting name change appears
ay-p: Ahhh that daily "let's change the name" thread
jy-p: I'm 100% sick of these posts
ty13r: lol I was about to say the same thing
jy-p: "I know you're named john, but i think you'd sound much more attractive if you were named " look at the names of these other major projects - they are beyond retarded
go1dfish: you just know it’s going to be a popular proposal when that system is ready.
davecgh: I'm actually looking forward to that proposal. It will be voted down once and for all. Then, in the future we'll just be able to link to the failed proposal. No fuss.
davecgh: I'm never going to shop at Amazon because it has too much to do with rivers and jungles and women warriors!
jy-p: the word Amazon triggers me b/c of the systematic destruction of the rainforest there
moo31337: see my turquoise was dead on! colors are hip for branding these days and it has to be calming
go1dfish: I like the name I think where the branders can win the fight is in suggesting good unit names decred works as a project name, but it seems a bit clunky as a unit name.
davecgh: Well, we probably shouldn't be so dismissive, but after seeing the same thing so many times, it's kind of comical. What is especially funny is that if you actually followed some of the others that people now claim are "good" names, there were the exact same threads about them not being good names too. Now, they are magically good names though because they're popular.

Why hasn't Shopify done a stock split before now? To come up with a rationale for why a particular company might split its stock in the future, the first thing to do is look at its past practices. A stock split may impact a short seller because the price moves down faster than they were anticipating. However, from an intrinsic value standpoint, it has no effect because the total value the investor borrowed is the same as before. For example, if a short seller borrows 100 shares of a company’s common stock that is trading at $30 per share and the company issues a stock split ratio of 2 ...

Feral Hogs Are Tearing Up Texas
Tourists Are Shooting Them from Helicopters.
"The problem is extremely serious," said Olivia Johnson, co-owner and business manager of helicopter outfit Cedar Ridge Aviation in Knox City, Texas. "It would be like if you woke up and there was 3 million rats living in your house. You wouldn't live with them. You wouldn't just say, ‘Oh, well, welcome to my home.'"
Now, companies sell seats to thrill-seeking tourists for as much as $5,000 per person. Cedar Ridge charges about half that, hosting guests from as far as Australia and China.
Dustin Johnson acknowledges that some object to killing dozens of pigs from helicopters, and says those people have never fought the pig problem in Texas. But Bubba Ortiz, a hog trapper in New Braunfels, Texas, isn"t a fan of their approach.
"I'd prefer to take them alive than dead, because when they're dead, I want to do something with the meat," said Ortiz, a Pueblo Nation member with Tigua and Acoma Sky City heritage. He sends hogs to certified hunting ranches or to meat processors for shipment overseas, where wild boar is a more popular menu item.
Ortiz said he trapped 417 hogs within the city limits of San Antonio in 2017, and another 300 in the county. "I don't hate the pigs," Ortiz said. "I'm not a big fan of the pigs cause they're just so destructive. But I look at them like a good adversary."
-- end of the article related to the video.
I've written about the huge problems created by feral hogs. Besides killing family pets and attacking people, they are negatively impacting agriculture throughout the South. Of course, Texas and Louisiana are being hit especially hard. And while feral hogs thrive in almost any condition, climate, or ecosystem, they do especially well in those states.
Feral hogs are a menace. And since they are considered opportunistic omnivores, they will eat anything when given the chance to do so. Of course, since they can root as deep as three feet, they destroy agricultural fields of every produce including potatoes, rice, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, melons, and others. They even destroy sod farms, hayfields, and cornfields. According to sources, "farmers planting corn have discovered that hogs will go methodically down the rows during the night, extracting seeds one by one."
Because they are intelligent, they evade traps and hunters. And since they have no natural predators, their numbers are exploding. Sows breed at 6 to 8 months of age and have two litters of four to eight piglets every 12 to 15 months during a life span of 4 to 8 years. A litter of a dozen is not unheard of.
This all means killing them can be an expensive and full-time job that takes vital funds and time away from the arduous task of farming. And here's more, it should be noted that while feral hogs are costing farmers immense amounts of money to stay in business, livestock producers are also adversely affected since feral hogs attack livestock as well.
They need to be eradicated.

Prevaricators In The Old West
As I said in a recent post, yarns and tall tales were a very popular form of storytelling back in the day. Well, here's another story that you might enjoy. It's a story that reminds us that some things haven't changed in the world.
The U.S.Army was responsible for manning weather stations when they were initially created. One such remote weather station was located in the Rocky Mountains in 1876. Gurnsey's Rocky Mountain U.S. Signal Station and Observatory on Pikes Peak sat at an elevation of 14,336 feet. It opened on November 1st, 1873. During that first winter, the temperature dropped to 26 degrees below zero, the wind was clocked at 85 miles per hour, and they recorded 15 feet of snow.
The U.S. Signal Service was a part of the U.S. Army. It was later redesignated as the Army Signal Corps. The weather stations were set up throughout the United States all in an effort to gather information. It was one of the early attempts to forecast the weather. As for the people manning the stations, it's very understandable how such duty as manning such a desolate place can be lonesome, boring, and isolated. It's also understandable how one's imagination and creativity can run wild.
The first indication of an imagination running wild took place that first winter. That was when an article on a giant lake creature in Mystic Lake, what is believed to be present-day Lake Moraine, appeared in an issue of the Colorado Springs Weekly Gazette on December 6th, 1873. The article reported how a soldier stationed at the Pikes Peak station sighted the giant creature.
The man making the report was U.S. Army Sgt. Robert Seyboth. He was the first man to pull duty at the station. Seyboth reported that he was riding past Mystic Lake when he heard a loud splashing sound. Upon inspection, he reported that he saw a monster that was at least 100-feet long moving very fast through the water. The creature was pale brown and covered with scales. He went on to say that the monster had a long skinny neck and its head was sort of oblong with small beady eyes. Such a monster living in the lake was big news. In fact, it is said that several newspapers carried the story here and in Europe.
Was there a rush to see if someone could find the beast? No. Was a scientific search of that ever conducted for the creature? No. Was there ever another sighting? Well, no one knows.
Why not you ask? Well, tall tales in newspapers and magazines were not out of the ordinary. Some stories were shrugged off as simply being a yarn because they were too unbelievable, while other stories were taken as gospel. Of course, that's how tales of monsters begin. One person laughs it off as just a tall tale, while others will buy it completely -- hook, line, and sinker. Right or wrong, that's how things still are today. It's as if people want to see monsters when there aren't any.
As for Seyboth's tall tale, while not bad, his story was eclipsed later when his replacement told a bigger whopper. That storyteller was Army Private John Timothy O'Keeffe. O'Keeffe's spectacular tale actually appeared in the Pueblo Chieftain entitled, "Attacked By Rats, Terrible Conflict On The Summit Of Pikes Peak," published on May 25, 1876.
In O'Keeffe's story, he warned visitors of vicious "mountain rats." He talked about how the rats lived in the rocky crevices on the summit of Pikes Peak. He spoke about them being aggressive, dangerous, man-eaters. His story didn't leave anything to the imagination as he described in detail the attacks that he and his family endured on the summit.
According to O'Keeffe, the rats would normally feed on a sweet gum that was a by-product of volcanic action that shook the mountain at irregular intervals. The volcanic action percolated the gum through the pores of the rocks. The gum was freed for the rats for longer than human history ever recorded. When the gum wasn't enough, the rats would seek out food -- including attack those there at the weather station.
Private John O'Keefe had a vivid imagination. His job was to collect the meteorological information. That must not have kept him busy since he was known to pass the time by sharing tall tales with visitors. Of course, he supposedly had a drinking buddy who was also a newspaper editor.
As for the rats, O'Keefe said they were nocturnal and dangerous. He supposedly told his wife on several occasions to guard their young daughter since he feared she would be attacked. His warnings were said to be an omen of what took place.
The story goes that while O'Keefe was busy working on weather reports that needed to be sent off, he heard his wife scream. The rats were attacking and they had gotten into their kitchen. The rats swarmed over an entire side of beef and devoured it in the blink of an eye. It was then that the rats attacked Mrs. O'Keefe and their daughter Erin.
O'Keefe, acting as the hero in the story, immediately protected his wife by wrapping her in a sheet of plate steel from the stove. He then ripped the stovepipe down and placed the sections over his legs as he fought the rats with a chair leg that he used as a club. It was about that time that Mrs. O'Keefe grabbed a spool of wire and hooked it to a nearby battery to electrocute the rats. The sparks made the rats flee back to the cracks and crevices of Pikes Peak.
Private John O'Keefe found the remains of their infant daughter Erin. She was attacked because the rats climbed into her cradle. Private O'Keefe and his wife buried what was left of their daughter beneath a pile of rocks near the summit of Pike's Peak. He then placed a wooden marker on her grave.
The marker read: "Erected in Memory of Erin O'Keefe, daughter of John and Nora O'Keefe, who was eaten by mountain rats in the year 1876."
Friends, it didn't matter that volcanic action didn't percolate a gum through the pores of the rocks. It didn't matter that Army Private John Timothy O'Keeffe was not married, there was no Nora O'Keeffe, nor was there ever an infant daughter named Erin. It didn't matter that the whole story was a complete fabrication.
It's said that O'Keefe's drinking buddy wrote down the story after visiting that gravesite. And after the story was published in a local newspaper, it's said hundreds of visitors made "the pilgrimage" to the weather station at the top of Pikes Peak just to view the infant's grave and pay their respects.
Was there a grave as shown in photographs? Absolutely yes. There was indeed a grave. Of course, after realizing that his tall tale had gotten out of hand and that he may get in some sort of trouble, he finally admitted that the grave was a hoax. It was in reality the grave of a government mule that had died. The mule was used at the station as a means of transportation when relaying the weather reports.
Of course, even after Private John Timothy O'Keeffe confessed to making up the hoax, people still believed there are mountain rats on top of Pikes Peak. And yes, there were people who still believed that those very same fictitious mountain rats once ate an infant named Erin O'Keeffe.
Even when finding out the truth, many refuse to believe it. People are stubborn that way.

Presidential Line of Succession Explained
Next in line?
Let's Debunk The Internet
I'm getting a lot of messages on Facebook and emails telling me that Nancy Pelosi may be the next Vice President of the United States. The idea behind this is that if Joe Biden is removed from office through the use of the 25th Amendment because of his inability to do his job or impeached for high crimes or misdemeanors, then Pelosi as Speaker of the House automatically becomes Vice President under Kamala Harris who would automatically become President.
The notion that this would take place comes from the fact that the Speaker of the House, whoever that is, is third-in-line as a matter of ascension. The presidential line of succession is the order in which officials of the United States federal government assume the powers and duties of the office of the president of the United States.
There is an important distinction to be made here. That distinction is important, and Americans need to understand how it works. The importance of that distinction has to do with the "simultaneous" death, incapacitation, or removal of the president and vice president. Not merely the death, incapacitation, or removal of the president "or" the vice president. Both positions have to be vacant "simultaneously."
If the incumbent president becomes incapacitated, dies, resigns, or is removed from office, then the order of succession specifies that the office passes to the vice president. The order of succession also states that if the vice presidency is "simultaneously" vacant, or if the vice president is "also" incapacitated at that "same instant," the powers and duties of the presidency pass to the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The keyword is "simultaneously." So what happens if there is not "simultaneous" death, incapacitation, or removal of both the president and vice president? What happens if one or the other is still functioning? What happens if the President or the Vice President dies, is incapacitated, or is removed from office?
The answer to that took place in 1973. Yes, just a matter of a mere 48 years ago. And as for what took place, the Speaker of the House stayed the Speaker of the House.
In the 1972 Presidential Election, incumbent Republican President Richard Nixon from California defeated Democrat U.S. Senator George McGovern of South Dakota. Spiro Agnew was President Nixon's vice president. Agnew had served as Vice President since 1969 as a result of President Nixon winning the 1968 Presidental Election.
Spiro Agnew was President Nixon's vice president until he resigned in 1973. Agnew is the second and most recent vice president to resign the position. The other vice president to have resigned was John C. Calhoun in 1832. So yes, Agnew resigning took place in our recent history.
Why did he resign, and what came as a result of that? Well, if memory serves me right, Agnew was the Governor of Maryland before being chosen by Nixon as his running mate in the 1968 Presidential Election. Agnew had become Governor of Maryland after defeating a Democrat opponent who was for segregation and against interracial marriage. When Agnew entered office as Governor, he cut taxes, allowing citizens of that state to keep more of their hard-earned money. He created clean water regulations that were new to the nation at the time. He repealed laws against interracial marriage in Maryland.
Political enemies targeted Agnew, and by 1973, Agnew was being investigated by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland on suspicion of criminal conspiracy, bribery, extortion, and tax fraud. Supposedly, Spiro Agnew took kickbacks from government contractors when he was a Baltimore County Executive and then as Governor of Maryland. Believe it or not, those kickbacks supposedly continued even after becoming Vice President of the United States. This was a shock that made all of the newspapers at the time. Of course, even though he said he was innocent, Agnew finally pled "no contest" to a single felony charge of tax evasion. It was then that he resigned as Vice President.
On October 10, 1973, Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned. As for Agnew, he was never convicted and spent the remainder of his life out of politics. As for any involvement in the Watergate scandal, Agnew was never connected to it.
Just as a side note, I remember all of this taking place because that was the year that I went into the Marine Corps.
So now, with the Vice President resigning, did the Speaker of the House become Vice President? If we believe the misinformation on the Internet today, then Democrat Speaker of the House Carl Albert should have become Vice President in 1973. But that didn't happen because that's not how the system works.
In fact, President Richard Nixon replaced his former-Vice President Spiro Agnew with Republican House Minority Leader Gerald Ford. Ford served as the House Minority Leader from 1965 to 1973. He was tapped for the job of Vice President after Nixon consulted with Congression leaders. It's said that Nixon wanted someone else at first, but was told by the Democrat-controlled House and Senate that Ford, who was seen as very respected and liked in the House, would be confirmed.
According to newspaper reports at the time, while President Nixon "sought advice from senior Congressional leaders about a replacement," Democrats in control of Congress "gave Nixon no choice but Ford."
Gerald Ford was nominated to take the position of Vice President on October 12, 1973. It was the first time that the vice-presidential vacancy provision of the 25th Amendment Section 2 clause had been implemented. The 25th Amendment Section 2 clause states "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."
After being nominated, the United States Senate voted 92 to 3 to confirm Gerald Ford as Vice President on November 27. Then on December 6, 1973, the House confirmed him by a vote of 387 to 35. After the confirmation vote in the House, Gerald Ford took the oath of office and became our nation's 40th Vice President.
Because of the Watergate Scandal, Vice President Gerald Ford had to prepare himself to replace President Nixon. On August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon resigned the presidency, and Gerald Ford became the 38th President of the United States.
So now you ask, with President Nixon resigning and Vice President Ford becoming President, did the Speaker of the House become Vice President? Again, if we believe the misinformation on the Internet today, then Democrat Speaker of the House Carl Albert should have become Vice President in 1974. But that didn't happen because again that's not how the system works.
The 25th Amendment Section 1 clause states " In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President." So when Gerald Ford moved from Vice President to President, a vacancy at the Vice President level was created. That meant that the 25th Amendment Section 2 clause again kicked in. Since it states "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress," President Ford had to nominate a replacement for the position of Vice President.
On August 20, 1974, President Ford nominated fellow Republican former New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller to fill the vice president vacancy that he himself had just vacated. After months of a lengthy confirmation process, on December 10, 1974, the Senate voted to confirm Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President by a 90 to 7 vote. The House of Representatives confirmed his nomination by a 287 to 128 vote. Nelson Rockefeller took the oath of office as Vice President of the United States after the House confirmation on December 19, 1974.
As for Nelson Rockefeller, he became the second person ever appointed Vice President by way of the 25th Amendment. Of course, Gerald Ford was the first. And to date, this was all the last "intra-term" U.S. presidential succession to ever take place in American History.
Please understand that for almost two months, from October 10th when Agnew resigned to December 6th, 1973, when Ford was confirmed as Vice President, the United States did not have a Vice President. And yes, for almost 4 months, from August 20th when Ford became President to December 19th, 1974, when Rockefeller was confirmed as Vice President, the United States did not have a Vice President. During each case when the position of Vice President was vacant, the Speaker of the House did not ascend to the position of Vice President.
Frankly, this episode in our history proves that the Speaker of the House is not in line for the Presidency if the President or Vice President have not died, become incapacitated, or have been removed "simultaneously."
We know that if Joe Biden is removed -- then Kamala Harris will move into the Presidency. She would have to then nominate a Vice President. She would be able to nominate anyone to that position, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Of course, as one reader just pointed out, Harris would not be able to nominate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for that position of Vice President until October 13, 2024, since Cortez would be under the Constitutionally required age of 35 for the office of Vice-President or President.
If Kamala Harris is removed because of her incompetency, and possibly emotional instability as demonstrated with her constant laughter, then Joe Biden has to nominate a replacement for Vice President. And yes, Biden could nominate anyone to that position, including Rashida Tlaib or even Nancy Pelosi. But as far as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi simply ascending to the position of Vice President merely because a vacancy is created, that's not how the system works.
Sorry, Nancy!

Extermination of Wild Bison by Charles Goodnight (1931)
Still Hunting Buffaloes
On March 5th, 1931, The San Saba News and Star reported the following on Page 2:
As told to Annie Dyer Nunn
by Charles Goodnight
Charles Goodnight, one of the first pioneers of the Panhandle, was known as a breeder of buffaloes and cattaloes. The cattalo is a cross-breed between buffalo and native cattle. His old ranch near Clarendon, Texas, where Col. Goodnight lived for half a century and where he established his buffalo herd, still flourishes and is known far and wide as a breeding ground for the native buffalo. Colonel Goodnight died December, 1929.
His knowledge of the buffalo in its native habitat dates back to the year 1845 when, as a child he saw buffalo grazing west of the Cross Timbers in Central Texas. He knew them in the ’60s when their numbers had increased to over two millions. He knew them in the ’70s–those years that marked their passing–when hunters killed them by the thousands for either mere sport or for the hides, which sold in the open market; from 10 cents to one dollar each.
“When you were in the buffalo country,” related Colonel Goodnight, “you were in it, that’s all. Buffaloes meant buffaloes by the hundreds of thousands. The prairies were literally thick with them. In all directions, as far as the eye could reach, there was a sea of these moving animals. They ranged, for the most part, in groups as close together as they could conveniently graze. They migrated from necessity only. I have known small herds to haunt some particular region for years, but the main herd, due to scarcity of grass or water at certain season of the year had to move or die.
The “Southern” and “Northern” Herds
“There were two main herds in the United States–the southern and the northern,” said Mr. Goodnight. “The southern herd ranged south of the Arkansas River, through a portion of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas; the northern herd stayed north of this river, in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and Dakota.
“While the Civil War was in progress I was with Norris’ regiment of Texas Rangers, fighting Indians on the frontier, and during that time I was in close contact with the southern herd. After the war, as a drover, trailing cattle from Central Texas into New Mexico and Colorado, I was still in the heart of the buffalo country–for the next ten years, in fact, which was as long as the southern herd continued to exist.
“The herd would come into southern Texas for the winter, returning northwest into New Mexico and Kansas when the grass started; but not until it did start. I had good reason to remember this peculiarity, as the result of an experience I had on the trail when in 1867, I was retuning home from Fort Sumner, New Mexico, where I had gone to deliver 3,000 head of steers.
“Although it was the latter part of June and grass, owing to a drouth, barely up, the buffalo were still on their winter ground. Incredible numbers had died from starvation, and everywhere I looked I saw hundreds of carcasses rotting in the sun. The odor was fearful and the air black with flies. For two days and two nights my course led me through this belt of dead buffalo and desolation.
Killing for Commercial Purposes
“In the United States buffalo hunting for commercial purposes had been going on more or less since 1830, but in 1868 it began in deadly earnest. By this time wholesale decimation from every conceivable quarter descended upon the buffalo. They were slaughtered for meat by the settlers and by Indians in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska; by professional hunters employed to supply meat to military forts and railroad construction companies; by “sportsmen” who killed merely because they could kill.
I have seen passengers on a train, which had been held up by a herd that was slowly crossing the track, shoot buffalo for hours at a time.
The performance of the sportsmen was to me one of the most distressing features of buffalo extermination. The majority killed needlessly and with ruthless abandon. I have seen passengers on a train, which had been held up by a herd that was slowly crossing the track, shoot buffalo for hours at a time. Hundreds were slaughtered in this was, while others were wounded and left to a lingering death. For years the most conspicuous objects along western railroads were bleaching bones of these defenseless creatures that had furnished “sport” for passengers.
“There are stories of wanton slaying of buffalo by Indians, but I know this did not occur in the southern herd. The Indians killed what they could use and no more. They were maddened beyond measure by the wholesale slaughter of buffalo that was being waged all around them. It was the main cause of the Adobe Walls battle which occurred in Texas in 1874 between Indians and buffalo hunters. Buffalo meant everything to the Indians–food the year round, hides for tepees, robes to cover their bodies, etc.
Hide Hunters by the Thousands
“With the completion of the Union Pacific and the Kansas Pacific railroads in 1868 and ’70, buffalo hide hunters poured into the country by the thousands. They made military forts their bases of supply and their ammunition centers. There were some good men among the hide hunters but, generally speaking, they were a hard lot.
“At one time it was estimated there were 3,000 buffalo hunters in the Panhandle of Texas. From sun-up until sun-down their guns boomed death and destruction. Seasoned frontiersman though I was, I could never become inured to these scenes of brutal and wanton butchery. The buffalo had to go, of course, but there was no excuse for the hurry, waste and savagery that attended their extermination.
“Sharpshooters were employed mainly. The hunters moved in companies of from four to fifteen men whose work was systematized–some did the shooting, some the skinning, some the gathering of hides. I have talked with hunters who claim to have killed as many as one hundred buffalo in a day.
“‘Still hunting’ was the most popular method, for shooting on the run left the dead animals scattered over a wide area and increased the work of skinning. A sharpshooter would conceal himself in a thicket, behind a rock, or some other place he could not be seen by the herd, and begin operation. He would first kill the leaders of the herd, knowing that the dull-witted animals would seldom leave the spot where the leaders fell. Killing the leaders so bewildered the rest of the herd that they usually milled around in one spot until they were all killed. Aside from the fatigue of holding a gun for hours at a time, the hunter would experience no difficulty in continual slaughter.
Kills 1,114 Buffaloes in Six Weeks
“One Kansas still hunter killed 1, 114 buffalo in six weeks. Another hunter who built a blind around a mesquite bush near where a herd was passing shot them for three consecutive days. His partners did the skinning. The outfit followed this herd for many days, separating from it only when they ran into the teeth of a Kansas blizzard.
In Fort Elliot, the first and largest settlement in the Panhandle, I saw 300,000 hides at one time.
“Fresh hides were stretched on the ground by means of small pegs, then salted and dried. For years after the buffalo were gone cattle outfits moving through any part of the country had firewood in abundance from these pegs. After the hides were dried they were hauled into military forts and stacked there to await the coming of wagon trains which would carry them to railway centers for shipment. In Fort Elliot, the first and largest settlement in the Panhandle, I saw 300,000 hides at one time.
Wagon trains which hauled the hides constituted one of the most interesting and picturesque phases of frontier life. They brought supplies to the forts and to the big ranches. Low prices were made on hauling hides, since they were incidental freight; without them the wagon trains would have returned empty to railway centers. Lee & Reynolds owned the largest wagon train outfit in the West. It consisted of 1,000 head of mule, 1,500 head of oxen and a big string of wagons.
“Thirty wagons comprised a train. There were ten drivers, each operating three wagons and six head of oxen or mules. The oxen were used only in the summer time and were called “grass trains.”
Low Prices for Buffalo Hides
“Buffalo hides in 1870 brought as much as $3.50 each, but after it was discovered that they made inferior leather, the price dropped, each year, until they were bringing but seventy-five cents for a cow hide and fifty cents for a bull hide. Owing to improper curing of hides there was a great loss. It was estimated that every hide sent to market represented from three to five dead buffalo. Some hunters received as little as ten cents a piece for hides. Later, when the art of curing hides had passed the experimental stage, there was practically no losses of this kind.
“Some of the buffalo meat was sold to border settlers and some of it was shipped out of the country, but it was never handles in sufficient quantities to make this phase of buffalo hunting an industry. The meat that rotted in the wake of hunters would have fed a million people every year. No attempt was made to eat any part of the carcass but the tongue and the hump–the two choice morsels of the buffalo. The hump is on the top of the spine, just behind the neck. It had alternate layers of lean and fat, and was tender and delicious when broiled or fried. When cut out it was a strip about three feet long, ten or twelve inches wide, and four or five inches thick at its heaviest point. I never tasted anything better than a slice of hump meat about an inch thick, fired rare.
Wiped Out in Nine Years
“For nine terrible years a ceaseless slaughter was waged upon the southern buffalo herd. But gradually it became no longer possible to kill without reducing numbers; at last it was necessary to “hunt” for buffalo. The vast herd had dwindled to a few small bunches that fled into canyons. I had hoped that this remnant might be spared, but by 1878 it too disappeared, killed to the last animal. The four buffalo calves I captured that year were the only buffalo left in Texas.
“There were miles and miles of bleaching buffalo bones. Eventually they were gathered up, carted away and sold. They were made into phosphate fertilizer and into carbon used in the refining of sugar. The price generally paid for buffalo bones was $7 to $10 a ton at the markets.
“The … hunters moved northward and in Nebraska, Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. The fate that had befallen the southern herd descended upon the northern. At the of the year 1883, the buffalo were practically exterminated from the United States. The last carload of hides was shipped from Dickerson, Dakota in 1884.

Cancelling the Alamo by Nate Hochman
by Nate Hochman
The woke iconoclasts come for Texas history—and Texas fights back.
A controversy has broken out in Texas over Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth. The 417-page broadside against the “heroic Anglo narrative” of the Battle of the Alamo, as it was dubbed by authors Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford, makes all of the predictable 1619 Project-style arguments—except its central target is not 1776, but 1836. According to a promotional synopsis, the book’s central aim is to “show how the sausage of myth got made in the Jim Crow South of the late 19th and early 20th century. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear for some, celebrating the Alamo has long had an echo of celebrating whiteness.”
Forget the Alamo’s thesis—that the Battle of the Alamo’s central place in the “Texas creation myth” is fundamentally racist, that the men who sacrificed their lives during the fight against the oncoming Mexican army were not nearly as heroic as they were portrayed to be, and that the Texan war for independence from Mexico was waged to protect slavery and enshrine white supremacy—has quickly taken hold in all of the credentialed narrative-setting institutions, lauded by progressive critics and uncritically repeated as fact by sympathetic journalists.
But the book itself is plagued by flaws. “I am very well aware of how left-of-center the whole American history profession has become,” says Kevin Roberts, a historian and CEO of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. “But I was astonished by the groupthink with this [embrace of the book]. It’s not a surprise that most historians’ political inclinations are going to align with the authors—the surprise was that they wouldn’t even offer a mild critique of any of the major problems in the book, which is that their historical research is awful. It’s riddled with omissions. Even if I agreed with the thesis of the book, I would have given it an F and told the student to rewrite it. It’s just embarrassing.”
It is a misunderstanding to view the book as a serious attempt to tell the truth about Texan history; its central purpose is political, not academic. As with the 1619 Project—which succeeded in making racism and white supremacy the core of the American tradition in the eyes of the ruling class—the release of Forget the Alamo initiated a process that serves as a blueprint for how the left wields institutional power to shape elite opinion: Left-wing activists create an ideologically skewed narrative under the auspices of beginning a “conversation,” rubber-stamp it with the imprimatur of elite institutions, and then weaponize that institutional legitimacy to discount and discredit any of the narrative’s critics as jingoistic reactionaries.
Once Forget the Alamo was embraced in elite circles, the progressive intellectual establishment was quick to paint the debate over the book’s dubious account of Texas history as between hard-nosed, objective historians on one side and chauvinistic right-wing propagandists on the other—what left-wing Los Angeles Times columnist Mark Barabak smugly described as “caught between those who like their history soothing and sanitized and others who prefer a truer, if less comfortable, rendering.”
Never mind that none of Forget the Alamo’s authors are historians, and one of the three is literally a Democratic Party operative—facts have little bearing on the preferred ideological narrative of the moment. “The company line for people who are historians was that this is a great book, and you darn well better agree with that,” says Roberts.
Don’t Mess With Texas
Rather than assume the GOP’s traditional stance of appeasement on cultural issues, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick went on the offensive against Forget the Alamo’s “fact-free rewriting of TX history,” canceling a discussion panel featuring the authors scheduled at the state history museum. “We must make certain that the information being put forward at state-sponsored events is well-researched and based in fact,” Patrick said in a statement to local media. “That is not the case with Forget the Alamo, which has been debunked by a number of professional historians who point to the book’s shoddy research and selective use of facts. With its incendiary title, the authors clearly want to make Forget the Alamo another 1619 Project—a polemic posing as history which has also been debunked.”
The reaction was what one would expect. “I’ve worked all over the world for 35-plus years and I had to return to Texas to get my first government censorship,” tweeted one of the book’s three authors, repeating a talking point that was widely echoed in Texas media. (“Forget, for a moment, the Alamo. Remember the First Amendment,”declared the title of a July 8 missive from the Austin American-Statesman editorial board). But the willingness of a high-ranking GOP official to stand firm in the face of elite outrage, and to enter the fray to fight the progressive abasement of American history rather than to protest weakly from the sidelines, is a positive sign.
In June, Governor Greg Abbott—though not always a reliable executive when it comes to the culture war—signed into law a bill that created the “1836 Project,” which “would establish,” according to the bill analysis, “an advisory committee to promote patriotic education and increase awareness of Texas values.” Later that month, Texas became the third state to ban critical race theory in public K-12 education.
The Purpose of the Past
Americans, Irving Kristol wrote in 1996, “have a most emphatic relation to our past—an ideological relation, some would say.” Rather than a shared ethnicity, institutional religious authority, or any number of other traditional sources of national identity, our self-conception as a people is rooted in a collective attachment to our distinct political inheritance. We are defined by the story we tell about that inheritance; how we understand our history has everything to do with how we understand ourselves.
If the progressive project is to succeed, it must recast American history as a source of shame rather than wisdom and inspiration, replacing all residual loyalty to the past with allegiance to the symbols and pieties of the new regime. Independence Day and the national anthem are out, hopelessly passé and chauvinistic; true patriotism, as Joe Biden has argued at various intervals, is paying higher taxes and continuing to wear one’s mask indefinitely post-vaccination.
The crucial importance of our historic understanding is precisely why American history is the central target of the radicals at the vanguard of our revolutionary moment. History is, ultimately, where the fight for America will be won or lost. The national GOP has been slow to realize this—just look at the near-unanimous Republican support for the institutionalization of Juneteenth as the new “National Independence Day”—but there are real networks of resistance forming at the state level, as we have seen with the slate of red-state bans on critical race theory and the burgeoning resistance to anti-American history in states like Texas.
Texas in particular “is the big prize,” says Don Frazier, a Texas historian at Schreiner University. “I mean, by 2050 we’re gonna double the size of this state’s population—so all of a sudden, California doesn’t matter so much. The stakes are starting to get really high, and they’re having to come in and try to dismantle the scaffolding of the Texas story, but they’re having a hard time getting it fully dismantled because we’ve been tending to it pretty nicely in this state for years. And so this is a desperate attempt to throw a Hail Mary pass and see what happens.”
Initiatives like Forget the Alamo and the 1619 Project are about the exercise of ideological power, undermining America’s traditional self-understanding with the dutiful compliance of captured American institutions. But as Dan Patrick and the Texas GOP have shown in recent months, much of America is not yet ready to roll over. States like Texas are still filled with decent, patriotic men and women of conviction willing to defend the history of the country they love. Pushing back against these pressures will require more political courage than the institutional conservative movement has traditionally demonstrated.

Freed Black Slave John Nolan Was William Quantrill's Chief Scout
John Nolan attended the 1906 Quantrill's Raider Reunion.
His is located at the far right on the back row,
William Clarke Quantrill was born on July 31, 1837. As a young adult, he became a teacher. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, he joined the Confederacy. During his reign of terror, his band of guerrillas murdered, raped, and slaughtered the innocent. Besides the Lawerence Kansas Massacre, they burned and pillaged, and destroyed lives, all in the name of the Confederacy.
By May of 1865, Quantrill was mortally wounded during a clash with Union troops in Central Kentucky. It was one of the last engagements of the Civil War. He died of those wounds weeks later on June 6, 1865. He is most notorious for "The Lawrence Massacre."
For those who are unfamiliar with what became known as "The Lawrence Massacre", the attack took place on the morning of Friday, August 21, 1863. Quantrill's Raiders picked Lawrence, Kansas because the town was known for its support of abolition. It also had a reputation as a center for the Jayhawkers.
The term Jayhawkers came about in the 1850s in the Kansas Territory during the period known as Bleeding Kansas. The term was adopted by both free-state militia and vigilante groups known for attacking plantations in pro-slavery Missouri's western counties. Jayhawkers were also seen as guerrillas who fought against pro-slavery groups known at the time in Kansas Territory as "Border Ruffians" or "Bushwhackers."
Quantrill's Raiders were also known as Bushwhackers. When they entered Lawrence, Kansas, on that Friday, August 21, 1863, they knew they were about to attack a Unionist town. They killed over 165 men and boys -- and burned the town.
John Noland was an African slave born sometime in 1844. He was a Freedman, a freed slave, who was, in fact, Confederate William Quantrill's chief scout. Nolan is known to have helped in scouting Lawrence, Kansas, before the massacre by Quantrill's men in 1863. John Nolan scouted Lawrence before Quantrill's men attacked that unsuspecting town. Since he was a freed black man, Noland was able to come and go as he pleased. He entered Lawrence without a problem.
On June 25, 1908, The Kansas City Globe reported the following:
John Noland Followed Leader During War.
John Noland, the only negro member of Quantrell's band of guerrillas, died last night at the county farm in Kansas City, Mb. He wa3 taken there -two weeks ago. , Noland was devoted to Quantrell and followed the fortunes of the famous guerrilla chief as a personal servant. Several years ago an organization of the survivors of Quantrell's band was effected and an annual reunion is held each summer in or near Independence, Mo. John Noland was a unique and conspicuous figure in these gatherings.
As I said before, John Noland was William Quantrill's chief scout. He was very effective as a scout because he was in fact a freed black slave. And frankly, it's easy to understand why he was so effective since no one would have ever suspected a freed black man of being a part of Quantrill's Raiders.
As for his being proud of being a part of William Quantrill's band of guerrillas? He was obviously very proud of his being a member of Quantrill's Raiders. That's evident since Nolan was known to have attended the annual reunions of Quantrill's Raiders. In fact, it's said that John Noland tried to attend most of the reunions and was extremely popular among his fellow Quantrill veterans.
John Nolan was described by his Quantrill comrades as being "A man among men." That phrase was actually inscribed on his tombstone when he died in 1908. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery which became known later as Independence Cemetery in Independence, Missouri. It is said that all of his pallbearers were his Quantrill comrades. All were white men.

My Horses, Saddle, & My Preferred Bit
Hello Friends!
Some of you have asked about my horses, and if I have a favorite breed. Some of you have written to ask if I raise cattle, or if I have goats, pigs, and chickens. A few have asked if I own a custom-made saddle, and what sort of bit I prefer. Well, I hope you don't mind that I decided to answer your questions here instead of responding to the emails.
As for my horses? These days I only have a few horses, no cattle or goats or pigs. And no, no chickens. We actually don't need chickens and pigs since we have neighbors who raise and sell pigs and neighbors whose chickens put out a lot of eggs.
As for my favorite breed of horse? I love Quarter Horses. But in reality, I also love horses of most breeds. In fact, while I prefer stocky cow horses, I really love all horses,. And lately, I've become a real admirer of the Draft/Quarter Horse crosses that I've seen. I wouldn't mind finding one for myself since I really don't think it's fair to the horse to put a lot of weight on a horse.
What am I talking about? I weigh in at 320. My saddle is 42 pounds. That's a lot of combined weight to put on a horse for pleasure riding, nevertheless moving cows all day. So yes, I've been looking at Draft/Quarter Horse crosses horses lately as an alternative to ride.
As for my saddle? No, I've never had the kind of money that it takes to splurge and buy an expensive custom-made saddle. My first saddle belonged to my grandpa. As you know, my family is originally from Hawaii and I've lived permanently in California since 1977.
My grandfather had a few saddles. One was a Hawaiian Tree and the others were saddle that he bought while visiting California in the 1950s and 60s. I used one of his saddles for years. Then in 1983, I bought a Billy Cook saddle. For some reason, I didn't fit right and I ended up giving it to a close friend. I bought a Circle Y saddle another in 1986. In 1995, I was handed a great deal on a Billy Cook saddle that I couldn't pass up so I bought it. But then in 1996, I bought myself a Tex Tan Hereford Brand saddle that I absolutely fell in love with.
The Hereford Brand by Tex Tan saddle that I bought, to my knowledge, has now been discontinued. The model is a Prescott Rancher. While every saddle that I had was a roper built with a Cheyenne Roll cantel, my Tex Tan Prescott Rancher is a basic working ranch saddle with an old fashion straight cantel -- what some folks call a "pencil" cantel.
My saddle is nothing fancy other than some hand-stamped basket tooling. I like the large brass dees and its one-piece smooth-out seat. Because of the horses that I've ridden, its bullhide-tree and Full Quarter Horse bars have fit me and those horses very well. Besides how I like its fit, I really like its drop rigging. It was something that I saw on old saddles when I was a kid, and I like it on mine.
As a matter of full disclosure, I haven't ridden in a while because of medical problems. That has made me give away a couple of saddles. But, that hasn't stopped me from keeping my Tex Tan saddle in good condition and ready to use. After all, I don't think I've seen my last day in a saddle. At least not yet.
As for my choice of a bit? I used to work my horses a lot and they responded well. Because of that, a medium port Quarter Horse bit was all I've ever needed. The one that my horse Murphy loved was a medium port with a copper cricket, a 5" mouthpiece, and a 6 1/2" short shank. I have to admit that my horse Murphy loved to play with that cricket. He liked that copper roller and would play with it for all it was worth.
It's a safe bet that someone will write to tell me that such bits are too cheap and don't give the action that other bits will give. Friends, I've found that choice of bit, and the fact that some bits are too severe for my horses, is all a matter of personal choice. The bit below give a little more control than a normal medium port.
The Reinsman Medium Port Copper Roller Jr Cutter Bit is probably one of the two best all-time shanks with medium-plus leverage and excellent balance. The mouthpiece is good for a nervous horse that likes to play with the bit. It does add some tongue pressure to help break a horse over at the poll for a better headset. It has 7" Cheeks. 5" Mouth. 1 1/2" Port.
Friends, I can say that over the years I've tried hackamores, snaffles, spade bits, and even some bits that looked like contraptions out of a torture chamber. And while that's true, and there are hundreds of different western bits with all sorts of subtle variations as well as some very strange names, I keep going back to basics with simple curb bits.
Grazing bits and Quarter Horse bits are curb bits. They are probably one of the most common western bits around. The shanks are angled back so, in theory, a horse can graze with the bit in its mouth. And since I was taught that there were times while working cattle that a hand might want to just let his horse graze some while bridled and saddled, I've sort of stayed with simple medium port curb bits.
There is something else, there were times that I used to just use a set of Side-Pulls to go riding. As most know, using Side-Pulls, especially one without a bit, is great for starting a young horse. Its contact on a horse's nose gives you control and the rein rings enable you to teach a horse to give his head. They are perfect for getting a good head set.
While I never used Side-Pulls to work cattle, it worked out well when pleasure riding the backcountry or just getting some time in at an arena. And really, I've found that sometimes using Side-Pulls was a great way for a refresher.
I hope this answered your questions. During my next post, I'll take on your questions about my guns and my shooting range.
See you then!

Ejercicio de clase 2. Cálculo de intereses
En primer lugar, vamos a ver el siguiente vídeo para entender las soluciones de más abajo
María pide prestado 10.000 € a un banco y le dicen que tiene que devolverlos en 3 años pagando un 5% de tipo de interés anual.
a) Calcula cuáles serán los intereses y la cantidad total a devolver.
b) ¿Qué ocurriría si el tipo de interés fuera el 5% mensual?
Intereses a pagar al año = 5% x 10.000 = 500 euros al año
Pero ojo, estos intereses son al año. Para saber la cantidad total de intereses hay que tener en cuenta que el préstamo dura 3 años.
Intereses totales = intereses al año x número de años
Intereses totales = 500 x 3 = 1.500 euros
La cantidad a devolver será igual a la cantidad prestada más los intereses totales.
Cantidad total a devolver = cantidad prestada + intereses totales
Cantidad total a devolver = 10.000 + 1.500 = 11.500 €
Si el interés es mensual la cosa cambia (y bastante) ya que los intereses se pagan cada mes.
Intereses a pagar al mes = tipo de interés mensual x cantidad total prestada
Intereses a pagar al mes = 5% x 15.000 = 500 euros al mes.
Por lo tanto, los intereses totales y la cantidad total a devolver es:
Intereses totales = intereses al mes x número de meses
Intereses totales = 500 x 36 = 18.000 €
Cantidad total a devolver = cantidad prestada + intereses totales
Cantidad total a devolver = 10.000 + 18.000 = 28.000 €
Como vemos un interés mensual del 5% nos hará pagar mucho más que interés anual del 5%

Saving the best for last, this entry is all about my game of the year.
I had high hopes for a certain strategy game that was to arrive in 2014. It had a great lineage, was inspired by one of my favorite games of all time, and was being made by a great studio, who know the genre inside out. Alas Beyond Earth ended up with too little of Alpha Centuari in it, and felt too much like a civilization expansion. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I hoped. It was neither new or exciting.
Good thing then that I was blindsided by a brilliant addition to the genre that I had not really heard of prior to asking around for a new 4x type game.
Endless Legend is easily my game of the year. I put the most hours into it, and enjoyed multiple playthroughs. It was the one game that captured my imagination and had me pondering strategies whenever I wasn't actually playing.
From a design perspective the interesting part of the game is that it innovates in small, almost unnoticeable ways, for the genre. That innovation isn't brash, or in your face, it's in every little design decision under the hood. The sum of all its parts elevate it beyond its peers. You almost can't quite put your finger on why it's so compelling, but you know it is.
For fans of the genre it's a godsend.
The game itself is part Civilization, part Heroes of Might and Magic. The overview is civ inspired, while the battles, complete with hero units, owes more to HoMM.
The art style, which feels like it was inspired by the intro from Game of Thrones, looks great, and helps with the feeling that you are playing something crafted with a love for the genre.
The true genius lies with the games factions. Each one truly plays out in interesting ways. This is not just the odd bonus or special unit of civ, this is total diversity. Each race looks, plays, and operates differently, often in very unique ways. There are factions restricted to one city, who rely on indoctrinating others, there is a nomadic tribe who have a mobile culture, there are magic users, monsters, or steampunk knights. You truly do get a unique experience with each that genuinely encourage replay.
The game mechanics also make interesting choices at every turn. There are quests that allow you to influence other tribes. Resources that can be consumed to provide short term buffs rather than simply being a trade currency. There are two distinct seasons in the game, which actually impact campaigns. Just as in history, beware going far afield in harsh winters! The games heroes and units can be upgraded (essentially so in the later game) and money and resources have to be balanced as there is a tempting market system that always provides the option of a short term 'fix' (that is usually bad for the long term budget!)
The tech tree isn't a tree, rather it's a set of grouped 'tiers' of knowledge, which you can learn in any order you like. It allows you to choose whether to advance slowly, but in all areas, or to speed to some later tiers earlier in the game, but with clear holes in your capabilities. (Holes the enemy AI will often exploit at harder difficulties)
The world itself is also interesting. The lore and background of each of the factions adds enough new spice into the traditional fantasy flavors that it feels like a unique setting.
Where the game falls is that much of this is hidden from the user at the start. Never has a game so badly needed a comprehensive manual. Never. Seriously, so many awesome elements are so buried in the depth of the game you almost stumble upon them by accident. Upgrading your city tiles was the worst culprit there. You can see early on it needs to be done to unlock some other stuff, but finding out how was incredibly obtuse. (You had to build other city tiles on a certain number of sides for the central hex to upgrade)
The learning curve is steeper than it needed to be due to that, but maybe that was also part of the charm. It certainly helped me want to go back for more.
I would not want that to put you off though, because it's a fantastic strategy game. Probably one of the best in years.

Can Labour Go Backwards?
The telephone rings. It is Tess in early labour. The surges seem regular. We arrange that I will drive to her farm. I gather my midwifery toolkit and place them in the boot of my car. It’s a long drive. I arrive at her home and quietly settle in, placing my equipment in an unobtrusive corner of the house so as not to startle Tess or her family. The house is full of people and busyness, and I suggest that Tess and I go for a walk. I observe quietly for some time to assess the rhythm and momentum of her labour. After listening to the baby’s heartbeat, I listen to the mother’s hopes and concerns. Her parents are visiting to ‘look after’ her son. The house is alive with anticipation and expectation, because Tess had a previous caesarian and this time, wishes to give birth naturally.
Contractions seem erratic and I stay the night. Tess, is being ‘watched’ and labour does not seem to progress. I suggest that we all leave Tess to carry on at her own pace. Her father leaves for his home 3 hours drive away. Tess and I agree to meet the following week if labour does not progress. I return home.
Help or Hindrance?
This is a very common scenario and the disturbances to women in labor vary. For some women it is the journey to the hospital that slows them down. At home, the labour seems to be sailing along merrily, then as soon as the mother arrives at hospital, the surges slow down or stop completely amid the bright lights and examinations. The mother is directed to a hospital bed and is soon attached to lines and probes, unable to move. For some women, the doctor’s arrival and clinical manner provides the sense of intrusion that stalls all progress. The midwife may have examined and found the mother’s cervix to be at 5cm and the doctor emphatically says not more than 3cms. Is the midwife’s examination faulty or is it just that the mother’s body has closed her cervix and stalled the labour in response to the release of flight or fight hormones?
A mother who has traumatic memories may find that until she has had a chance to release her pain to a listening midwife or doula, the labour is slow. Mothers who have previously been victims or rape and or sexual abuse may not be able to ‘let go’ easily and allow their bodies to open up. ‘Opening the cervix’ is too reminiscent of being forced to ‘open up’ under duress. Warmth, peacefulness and loving the mother, allowing her to take it at her own pace, is the best way to be with her during labour.
A strange person entering the room, too many bright lights, an untimely phone call, a tense husband are all stimuli that may slow a mother down in labour. Often, I have witnessed a speedy birth when the father has left the room in search of coffee or breakfast. The mother is then able to release her sphincters without fear of being embarrassed and the baby is born quickly and efficiently. This implies that the cervix responds to simple flight or fight mechanisms to protect a mother’s privacy. When the stimulus causing fear and tension is removed, the oxytocin and endorphins are once more released and the cervix opens suddenly to release the baby.
Home birth allows a mother to be ‘at home’ and relaxed in her own environment. The bathroom is her own to use, she can walk around as she pleases. To sleep on her own bed with familiar smells and comforts is not frightening. When she is hungry, a mother in labour at home is entitled to eat and drink from her own kitchen. A doula or continuous care midwife may help mother to stay calm.
Walking in early labour with Tess
In rare cases a labour may appear to go backwards when the fit between the mother and baby is in conflict. A baby is sometimes unable change its position, resulting in a poor fit within the birth canal. Occasionally a baby grows too large or gets into a difficult position and is unable to sink into the birth canal. In these instances, labour will often stall, cervical dilation may recede.
Creating a Safe Space
We were not sure what was happening in Tess’s case, but trusted her process over a period of 2 weeks, and worked together to create a safe space. This meant changing her doctor at 41 weeks of pregnancy and finding a doctor in another town. It meant moving the birth to a ‘birth home’ provided by a friend. It meant a rebozo treatment to position the baby correctly for birth. When all the factors were ‘right’, Tess finally experienced a very quick labour.
During labour, we were in the bathroom together and I sensed that Tess felt self-conscious with me in the room. I excused myself for a few minutes to give her some privacy, while staying close by outside the room. Once she was alone, Tess could release her inhibitions and bear down, and give birth to her baby.
Tess called me back to the bathroom as the baby emerged and we both reached out our hands to welcome her little baby girl into the world. What a moment of triumph after 2 weeks of waiting and arranging her safe space. Tess tested the process, waiting for her body and mind to be in synchronicity. I provided physical assistance in the form of Rebozo technique, which is a skill that Mexican midwives have used for generations to position babies correctly in the birth canal. Tess gave vaginal birth after caesarian at 42 weeks. Active labour was three hours. Her patience was rewarded and Tess was ecstatic.
It would have been so easy to interfere and diagnose poor labour progress, malposition of the baby, or lack of cervical dilation. Instead we waited patiently while providing a safety net at the same time.
The look on Tess’s face with baby in her arms says it all.

Monday, March 9, 2020
Fine motor skills are defined as the coordination between small muscles, like those of the hands and fingers, with the eyes. Fine motor skills involve the small muscles of the body that enable such functions as writing, grasping small objects and fastening clothing. Your child's mastery of fine motor skills will allow them greater independence.
These skills are so important in your child's development and anytime you can give them added practice will benefit them. Whether you are reading this as a young mom or a preschool teacher I hope I can answer some questions you may have regarding the importance of this skill.
Why is it so important? Fine motor skills are essential to have in place to be successful at everyday life skills. For instance tying your shoes, holding a pencil, cutting, coloring, writing, etc. These are all academic examples, but also brushing one's teeth, eating (cutting with a knife, using a fork) , buttoning and unbuttoning clothing and playing are all examples of when and how fine motor skills can be used in everyday life.
It's important to carve out time in your toddler's, or young child's life to build these skills up and strengthen them. Some examples include:
*informal play time ( legos, blocks, dressing dolls,puzzles, etc. )
*coloring, gluing, painting
*touching, clapping, fingerplays
*using zippers, straps
Other ideas:
* teach your child or student how to properly perform the 'pincher grasp'. Examples: picking up cheerios, turning knobs, switches, dials etc.
* give them opportunities to squeeze something. That is a different sensation with the hands. Give them a wet sponge and squeeze it over the sidewalk, also give them a paintbrush and a pail of water. They will have a blast painting the sidewalk and it will dry and disappear.
* teach your child finger plays...they are a lost art. With you tube and videos and songs it seems the old nursery rhymes have gone out the window. BUT research has shown that rhyming carries a lot of importance and is a precursor to being successful at reading. So, look up some finger plays and get busy. The itsy, bitsy spider is a great one to start with and here are a couple others you might like:
fine motor skills for kids
Some other ideas that are very helpful are having your student or child practice cutting or tracing things, I have some things to help you as well:
fine motor skills tracing practice
fine motor skills tracing practice
fine motor skills tracing practice
These packs are perfect for 'little hands' you can find them here:
Have fun with your child/student and make these skills fun through play and some structured practice time too.

Making patients ‘partners in their own care’ is an essential part of this, with prehabilitation they have a chance to work with practitioners to increase their functional reserve, increase their rate of recovery and avoid difficult long term outcomes. The longer this partnership lasts the more effective it is. In this respect, how do we manage to emphasise the importance of early access to patients? The evidence of the benefits of exercise is overwhelming, even just two weeks of activity can make a huge difference, how do we articulate this to patients? How much focus should there be on nutrition?

Bill Corbett talks the Tribeca RiffTrax performance of THE ROOM
Bill Corbett, Kevin Murphy and Mike Nelson
Three weeks ago I spoke with Bill Corbett one of the minds behind RiffTrax about the upcoming appearance and riffing of THE ROOM at the Tribeca Film Festival. For me this was the opportunity to talk with someone whose work I’ve admired for decades since Corbett one of the people who did Mystery Science Theater before RiffTrax. A book and comics author in his own right, Corbett has also written plays which have been performed all over the world. He’s also a very nice man.
What follows is pretty much the conversation that I had with Corbett. Our talk was brief. I was offered ten minutes and we went a little bit past that. The talk is focused firmly on Tribeca and RiffTrax and didn’t really waiver from there. I am aware that some of these question and answers are not new to longtime fans of Corbett or RiffTrax, but I wasn’t aiming to reinvent the wheel, I didn’t have the time, I simply wanted to put together a piece that would act an introduction to for those who don’t know RiffTrax and be a good warm up for those who are looking to go to the show Friday night. I think that what follows fills the bill.
(For more information on RiffTrax products, Fathom Events or the Tribeca screening click on the links embedded in the names)
STEVE(S): Why has it taken so long for you to come to New York to do a live show?
BILL (B):The answer is we really don't do live shows often at all except the ones that we broadcast through Fathom Events, So we don't really tour. We do shows from Nashville three or four times a year. The reason we're doing them there is Fathom Events hooked us up with the production company in Nashville when we started out and we kind of have a protocol with them and they have their staff there and we have a theater that works there. It's more or less a three or four times a year studio. ...But every now and then we make little exceptions when the city and the opportunity seems right-and this is one of them. And I'm really glad we're getting to New York because I'm from New York
S: I know you're from Brooklyn and I was curious if they threw you out and you couldn't come back
B: (laughing) No I think my exile is over now. I think I might have to wear a mustache and glasses. I think they'll let me in.
S:All is forgiven
B: (laughs)
S: I find it funny that you're coming to the Tribeca Film festival and you're doing a show in Chelsea some 40 blocks from Tribeca.
B: That's not our fault
S: You're better off than the Python guys, they're all the way up town some 100 blocks from Tribeca. I don't know what they did....
B: I think the Tribeca part is getting looser and looser
S:You're doing THE ROOM. Is there going to be any differences between this and the simulcast May 6
B: Probably a few. This is sort of our first go at it but when ever we do a performance we learn a little something. But I don't think there will be gigantic changes. I think the main change will be the audience will tell us what they think funny and not in each individual show and that changes quite a bit as we've learned.
S: When you do the simulcast do you and the guys and just do it or do you do a run through with an audience?
B:No, we don't,but we probably should. We just do seat of the pants. The only run through we do is just sitting around by ourselves running through the lines. But since our thing is pretty scripted,the riffing part, there's not a lot that can wrong on our end. technical stuff is another matter. We do a technical rehearsal the day of the show which is really just checking that all the mics run - it's usually about 15 minutes long and it's usually like a sound check.
S: Do you approach the live stuff differently then one of the RiffTrax say for THE AVENGERS? Do you approach the jokes differently?
B: A little bit. We've learned over the years that we have to watch to make sure our script doesn't get too dense for a live show. And I think that's now boomeranged back into out regular RiffTrax offerings. We realized that some of our early ones sound a little over crowded with jokes, which I guess is a good testament to our work ethic.But humor-wise it doesn't play well. You have to let a thing sit sometimes before you bark out another joke. So we try to make the live shows a little more leisurely and give audiences time to react and give us time to improv here and there.
I think the other thing we try to do is simplify jokes where they need them so they're not really complicated constructions either like the sentence itself or like imposing some reference on a situation that takes a couple of beats of thought. It's a bit like a run away train on a live show and you kind of have to go down to basics a little more, so we try to balance that with trying to make it not too dumb or not too obvious, to keep the thing that people like about RiffTrax is that we try to make smart jokes even when they are not sophisticated.
S: Is it hard for you to see a movie without seeing how you're going to riff it?
B: Not really if I get absorbed in it it's just the greatest thing in the world and I don't. People have been asking us for years and my answer is only when I feel like the movie is going off the rails and I'm not enjoying it or it seems dumb. I mean I never talk in the movie theater. I'm pretty puritanical about that. But watching Netflix at home with my wife I can be a little annoying...but so can she. A couple of years ago when we were having breakfast and I had been up for two hours and had coffee and was full of energy and I'm making all these quips and she said "Honey please quit riffing breakfast". I'm like "Okay" Let me dial it down and wait for work.
S: Do you find it hard not to be on or is it just the way you are constantly riffing everything?
B: No I don't find it hard because really the majority of my time, even for RiffTrax, is spent writing just like any writer, mostly by myself. We do get together eventually but these days the way we write a script is we each take a chunk and write a first go at it., a first draft and from there we smoosh it all together and see how it works. As we get closer to the day of the show we're sitting together more and seeing how the whole thing works. But a lot of the time I'm just living the life of a writer quiet and monk like.
S: How long does it take for you to put something together?
B: Well for a given movie it depends on how many writers we have working on it. It's now Mike and Kevin and I and we have two staff writers Conor Lastowka and Sean Thomason, younger guys we were lucky to find because they are such a great fit. They Keep us apprised of culture that has passed by us old farts.
But I'd say to write a first draft the better part of a week and then we have a rehearsal day where we're flagging lines, trying to make sure we don't have too many duplicate jokes. Then as we get closer we're just throwing a couple of lines overboard here and there.
Maybe 10 days from beginning of writing to recording. That's not consistent in a row days. Usually it's a staggered process
S: You have other stuff going on.
B: We do have other stuff going on so we try to record a couple of things at once just for efficiency's sake. What I mean is that the calendar isn't a straight line, one project and then one project, they kind of overlap depending on who's in town and when the recording studio is available.
S: Do you guys always go in together to record the riffing or do you do it in pieces
B; We were for a while. We all met here doing Mystery Science Theater in the Minneapolis area, but for a while Mike was in Southern California in San Diego where the RiffTrax office still is, because it was an off shoot of another company - it's a little bit long and not very interesting to explain...
S: Was it for Film Crew?
B: No it was unrelated to Film Crew. It was right after that, it was Legend Films....
S:That's the one where they colorized stuff like the Three Stooges....
B: Yea yea. They had a process for colorizing and then it became more of a 3D conversion company. RiffTrax became an increasingly odd fit for them so we've spun off into our own company. But when we were associated with them out in San Diego Kevin and I would go there periodically and Mike was sort of on the ground living there. We kind of realized that we could do it half and half rather than fly Kevin and I out there. After a while Kevin and I would record our lines here (we had a great sound editor)and Mike would do his lines solo listening to ours . But it got a little complicated and not as much fun frankly. Part of the fun is hanging around together. Now Mike moved back here so we're in the same studio.
S: You've probably been asked this before but do you have any guilt, I have a lot of friends who love RiffTrax, who can never go back and watch the movies again. They'll watch your versions of the films a couple of times and then they can't watch say the AVENGERS or the Harry Potter films because now they fill in the jokes watching them straight.
B: I haven't heard that as much as you have. Here's my feeling - if a movie is good it's bigger than us and it withstands us and even if a small percentage of people can't get our voices out of their head, and I feel sorry for them if that's true that's a horrible fate, I don't think that speaks to most people.
I just watched the AVENGERS with my kids after the RiffTrax because they're old enough now and I wanted to show them THE AVENGERS and we really enjoyed it. And it's not in my head. Maybe I'm just off loading it into other poor people who are our victims.
I also think that there is a distinction between AVENGERS and other good films we've done.
We did CASABLANCA as a lark to see if we could do a good RiffTrax of it and we all acknowledge thats a wonderful movie. We did THE WIZARD OF OZ - it's a different kind of source of humor in a way. It's more a celebrity roast then accerting over and over again that this movie is really dooky.
But for something like THE ROOM or any of the lesser known really bad movies we're doing I don't think people are going to be watching without us anyway. Maybe a slight exception with THE ROOM which had it's own fame before us but the vast majority of movies we do people haven't seen before us and won't seek out again without us
S:Is there anything that you wouldn't do?
B: Absolutely. The two examples I always come up with when people ask us this is SCHINDLER'S LIST and HOTEL RWANDA. Anything about a real life tragedy even if it's not the greatest movie in the world and both of those movies are quite good, but even if they were lesser versions of themselves to try and be funny over and over again in the face of tragedy would be monstrous and it would be hard...we wouldn't find much to talk about.
S: There's not a lot of jo...
B: The closest we came in the early days of RiffTrax Mike and I did The original X-MEN, the first X-MEN movie and it begins with Magneto, young Magneto in the concentration camp and we had a joke that I didn't believe it was a superhero movie. You Know "What have you gotten me into Nelson!" but that joke was sustainable as the the 2 minutes it took and you couldn't do that the whole movie.
RIFFTRAX THE ROOM plays Friday at the SVA Theater in Manhattan. For more information and details on Rush tickets go here.

Breville Air Fryer Vs Ninja Air Fryer
Air Fryers are a great invention or probably convection oven is a great cooking appliance because they can cook faster and more thoroughly. Today we can buy air fryers or convection ovens at a much smaller size such as the Breville Air Fryer Vs Ninja Air Fryer which are ideal for single or small families. These air fryers or convection ovens are affordable and versatile but they are also different. If you are curious, today we are going to compare the two popular options here.
In this article, we are going to talk about:
• What is an Air Fryer and How do It Works
• What are Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer
• How are the Built of Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer
• What are the Menu in Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer
• How are the Timer & Temperature in Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer
• How are the Experience with Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer
• Breville Air Fryer Vs Ninja Air Fryer
Air Fryer
In modern days we realize that not all of our favorite foods are wise to be consumed as often because some have too many calories for one serving or there is a dangerous substance that can lead to some health problems. This is what we are experiencing with fried foods because almost everyone loves the crisp and dry texture of deep fried foods like battered chicken or French fries yet, the hot oil being used to cook them not only increases the amount of calories but also unhealthy fat that gets into the body.
The solution to deep frying is using an air fryer and it sounds interesting at first but the method is actually the same as baking since the way they cook food is through hot air which is what our oven or convection oven is doing. However, baking and air frying is not exactly the same but is identical to a convection oven. Patented by Philips back then when they released their first air fryer, the actual method of air fryer is by using a heating panel at the top and a fan.
We place the food in the basket which looks like a drawer and start cooking like when using an oven by adjusting the temperature and timer. When started cooking the hot air will rush down around the food and the fan will keep the air moving in the cooking chamber, circulating between and around foods to crisp all exposed areas. This is why they are called air fryers and this is claimed to mimic the result of deep-frying despite there is no oil being used.
Theoretically, frying means submerging something in hot oil so the air fryer term itself is a bit misleading. However, if questioning whether air fryers can make food as crispy then the answer is possible because hot air can also create maillard reaction. What’s impossible is probably creating the same color as deep fried foods because it is necessary to use oil in order to create that mouthwatering golden brown outer. This is why manufacturers or recipe books often suggest to spray or apply some oil on the food.

In terms of versatility, we can cook almost anything with this method depending on what type of air fryer you have. The most common is frozen finger foods because it makes food preparation more convenient and other foods like chicken, fish, or meat. We can make dessert or baked goods as well such as apple fritters, small pies, toasting a bread or warming leftover foods like pizza and lasagna. Their operation and control are the same as an oven so we do think anyone can get used to them in no time.
About Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer
If you already have a full size oven or convection oven, we can cook the type of foods in the available appliance but if you want to have another alternative whether it is due to the size or smaller power consumption, an air fryer is a great addition in your kitchen. They are also getting cheaper and tons of other brands have more than one size of air fryer today. To save time, we can go with our favorite brand or which seems to fit your budget best.
Many popular kitchen appliances have their own version of air fryer based on what they are designed for. Breville and Ninja are two famous names in the kitchen appliance category and we are sure most people are familiar with them as well, or even have at least one of their products at home. We know these brands from their coffee maker but it seems they have a larger collection including air fryer. Both of them are known for budget options but Breville usually tends to be more expensive.
You will find several options from their catalog but today we are interested to compare the Breville Smart Air Fryer and Ninja AF101 which both are among the most popular models from the collection. You can find plenty actually and these two are separated by a pretty wide price gap, more than twice as expensive if you want to get Breville’s. Ninja is a favorite because it is straightforward and versatile while costing you very little for what it can offer.
On the other hand Breville Air Fryer is probably more advanced, especially with the “Smart” title we can expect that there is some intelligent system here and yes, it is called the Element Qi system which is supposed to replicate the ideal cooking environment for all cooking methods it offers. The one we are comparing today is the BOV860BSS since you can find similar models with the same name but comes with more or less cooking profiles. Read also: Emeril Air Fryer Vs Ninja here.
Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer Design
Before seeing what these Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer can offer, let’s start with the unit first. As you can see, the main difference between both appliances is the styling because Breville is using the traditional toaster shape in which you can place a regular tray inside unlike the Ninja which is more modern or what most air fryers are built like today. The difference in material is also prominent since Ninja is using plastic while Breville has a fancier stainless steel built.
On the capacity, the Ninja is 4 quart size while the Breville is larger and about 4.5 or 5 quart approximately since you can fit a 4.4 quart Dutch oven inside. Because the Smart Oven has a glass cover, the best thing here is you can see the food while cooking and it is also bigger so we can use a standard tray. Both are easy to clean so we don’t have any issue keeping them spot free but, in Ninja the accessories are all dishwasher safe.
Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer Cooking Menu
Now for the most important part, let’s see what Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer can offer starting with the cooking menu which are going to make your life more convenient. This is what Breville is boasting with a total of 11 cooking options you can access from the control panel. The display is here to show you the collection of menu with timer and its temperature. The available menu items are toast, bagel, bake, roast, broil, pizza, reheat, warming function, pizza, air fry, and slow cooking.
On the other hand, the Ninja air fryer is much simpler because this appliance is only offering air frying function, roasting function, reheating, and dehydrating function. The rest of control functions are the same such as timer and temperature with the start button to start and pausing the cooking process.
Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer Timer & Temperature
Both of them are able to cook with a pretty long timer and a wide range of temperature settings. Starting with Breville, this air fryer is able to cook from as low as 120 degree to 500 degree Fahrenheit when you are selecting the Broil setting. Similarly, the Ninja is also cooking with a wide variety of temperature but can start at slightly lower from 105 degree up to 400 degree Fahrenheit. What’s quite different is the timer because Ninja can cook longer.
With Breville, you can only cook for up to two hours so if we want to cook for longer, we have to readjust the timer after the previous one is done while Ninja can cook up to 12 hours in dehydrate mode. This mode can cook for longer but the temperature range is lower as well, only up to 190 degree Fahrenheit.
Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer Cooking Experience
Lastly we want to talk about cooking with Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer because the shape and design gives them different advantages. In comparison Breville is bigger and there is no issue fitting a whole chicken or smaller pot inside for slow cooking, in general it is almost like a petite size of your main oven. With Ninja, the space is more limited and mostly we can only fit fries, chicken wings, some small baked goods or roasting veggies and meat.
Breville Air Fryer Vs Ninja Air Fryer
Both Breville Air Fryer and Ninja Air Fryer are good for different types of users because Breville is more convenient when you need to cook larger pieces of food or placing a larger tray. But, Ninja have a longer cooking time and the dehydrating function is very useful if you are often making snacks or drying veggies and meat using the fryer. For the temperature range, it can go lower as well in order to slow cook or dry food. Breville do have a model with dehydrating function but is more expensive.

- The unit will need time to preheat before reaching temperature. We recommend preheating the unit for 3 minutes before adding your ingredients to achieve the best results.
You can go amazing with any of them based on which seems to fit in your application the most but, personally we recommend Ninja because this air fryer is very convenient and what most air fryers will be useful for which is making finger foods or cooking in smaller amounts.

Did he narrowly *miss* being discovered? Which is the way the word 'narrowly' would normally be used in this context.
If so, how would anyone know?
You can't narrowly miss making a discovery and also know about the fact that you've missed discovering. Only the person that narrowly missed being discovered can know about it... and even then not always. So, unless we have documentary evidence from him, which seems unlikely, we can't know if he narrowly missed being discovered. | https://alanduvalmbpss.medium.com/this-line-doesnt-make-sense-b51707c896fb | dclm-gs7-055670035 |

Google Glass is the future of eyewear. The idea behind this fascinating piece of technology is to overlay digital information on the front of your eyes, like Google Glass does with the laser eye project. Imagine walking through the shopping mall with a headset that constantly updates the world around you. You see what is around you, not by seeing it through the lenses of your glasses, but by viewing it via a 3D overlay of digital information. The idea is not far from Minority Report and its amazing abilities to overlay digital information on the real world.
glasses like google glass
As interesting as all this may sound, there are many different manufacturers of head-up displays for vehicles and for use in the home, businesses and entertainment venues. Although Google has not yet announced any plans for these types of devices, one company that already makes some of these kinds of glasses like Google Glass is called epson moverio. Epson movers has been in the business of creating projection units for years, and they have developed some of the best and most popular projection units for automobiles, computers, video games and LCD televisions. They have several different kinds of glasses like google glass, and their newest creation is called the epson moverio goggles.
When you think about augmented reality glasses, you probably imagine using glasses on the computer or a gaming console. But these days there are also armpit mounted glasses, wrist mounted glasses and even glasses you wear as sunglasses. This technology is still very new and has yet to reach mainstream popularity, but the concept is not far from reality. Instead of just reading the book, Epson has developed a way to blend your entire vision with that of others when using their glasses.
Phones with GPS, accelerometers, wireless and touch-screen capabilities are not the only things phones can do anymore. Companies such as Epson have developed completely wearable computer devices. This type of computer phone is the ultimate mobile assistant. With this device you can access maps, check your email, text, surf the web, connect to a networking site, and even take photos and videos – just like with a smartphone.
The Epson Moverio Glasses includes a small LCD screen and a miniature form factor that makes it easy to slip into your pocket. The glasses include an optical lens projector, which projects an image on the surface of the lens. The display is crisp and clear, and you can view images on a large display screen. You can then interact with the device through one of the user approved apps, or do almost anything else with the multi-touch control pad on the headset.
The Google Glass is capable of doing virtually everything a smartphone does, but with a twist. This amazing new device does not use a smartphone for its primary processor. Instead, the smart glasses’ software allows it to make use of what is known as the Oculomotor System (OS), which gives the device the ability to perform multitasking through the use of a passive infrared light detector. As a result, you can easily run multiple apps simultaneously on a Glass device, allowing you to get the most out of your smartphone experience.
But before you go and purchase the Glass device outright, be sure to read the comprehensive guide, Glass Spy, which provides a detailed look at the Glass software, the advantages of pairing the device with an air unit, how to maximize the functionality of the OS, and more. In addition, many insurance companies are now making wearable smart glasses in order to benefit drivers and consumers. For example, Geico has developed a driver’s eye-wear that will allow the wearer to read the map on a highway, as well as taking phone calls hands-free. The same company also has developed glasses that can be programmed to play MP3s, access a web browsing site, and control the television. All of these applications were previously only available to the well-heeled.
If you’re thinking about buying a Google Glass, be sure to review the extensive product spec sheets, which will provide you with useful information, such as the exact processing speed of the device, the connection speeds with specific networks, and much more. If you’re interested in purchasing the device but don’t have a credit or debit card, you may need to use Google Wallet as an alternative payment method. In order to use Google Glass, you’ll need a smartphone with Bluetooth capabilities, a high-speed internet connection, and a Glass display. | https://augmentedrealitysmartglasses.site/be-careful-to-choose-the-right-glasses-for-your-needs/ | dclm-gs7-055820035 |

Segway is looking to ride the scooter-sharing boom for all it’s worth. The company, best known for its eponymous two-wheeled vehicle now has a fairly large business manufacturing scooters for sharing services. Now Segway is looking to expand the use of its scooters in those services.
The company is partnering with Vulog, a tech company that provides the software backends for various sharing services, to help develop scooter-sharing services. Segway will provide the scooters and Vulog will provide its AiMA software platform to manage the services. The first service benefitting from this partnership will launch in Europe later this year.
In a press release, Vulog said this was its first collaboration with a “mobility manufacturer” like Segway. Vulog typically partners with third parties, operating sharing services on their behalf. It’s already working with Groupe PSA on the Free2Move car-sharing service in Washington D.C., and the all-electric Emov service in Spain and Portugal.
The new European scooter-sharing service will also include cars, according to Vulog, but no other details were offered. Vulog said it hopes to work with automakers in the future “so that they can offer ‘sharing ready’ cars to operators.”
Scooter-sharing services like Bird and Lime have proven immensely popular, but have also attracted criticism for the haphazard way scooters are deployed in cities. Most operate using the “dockless” model also favored by some bike-sharing services. That means scooters can be left anywhere, making it convenient for users but not for ordinary pedestrians.
Vulog already operates what is basically the automotive analog to this. It specializes in “free floating” car sharing, where vehicles can be picked up and dropped off anywhere within a given area. The company claims to have policies that ensure cars don’t all get clustered in one place, such as temporarily lowering rates in certain areas. Could Vulog’s experience with cars help it manage the scooter chaos?
Updated: This article originally stated that the European scooter-sharing service will be operated by Vulog and Segway. It will be operated by a third party, with Segway providing scooters and Vulog providing its software platform.

It was founded in 1134 on the initiative of Arnold II, Count of Loon. Its activities soon included agriculture to ensure its sustainability. Over the centuries however, the abbey faced many trials such as looting, fires and the plague. Indeed, in the late 18th century it was even sold and demolished.
From the 19th century onwards the abbey began to flourish once more. Monastic life was resumed and it became the hub of many activities such as missionary work and a publishing house. In the 20th century, the Norbertine monks founded different schools. Today Averbode Abbey faces a bright future with a wide range of products and a brand new experience centre. | https://averbodemoment.be/en/the-abbey-2/history/ | dclm-gs7-055840035 |

A proposed constitutional amendment managed to get on the ballot. Considering that an initiative needs get more than half a million signatures to become a ballot measure, it's slightly depressing to think that so many people want to restrict the happiness of others. It would be understandable if gay marriages could bring harm to society, but there's no real reason why this would be so.
What's more depressing is that a measure to ban gay marriages actually passed in 2000. I'll be charitable and assume that this was only because the whole concept was so new that people couldn't get their head around it. I'm definitely going to vote against the proposed amendment, and I have a feeling a lot more people would be agreeing with me come this November than in 2000. | https://blog.chungyc.org/tag/ballot/ | dclm-gs7-055990035 |
