Effective verbal communication is necessary in almost every field of life. You need good communication to do everything from performing your job properly to ensuring your romantic relationship functions smoothly. Many people struggle with this skill, but it is not too difficult if you remember a few important details.
Method 1 of 3:
Preparing Yourself
1Make some mental notes first. You should always be prepared for what you are going to talk about. It can be very helpful to jot down some ideas ahead of time so you don't forget some of your key points, or just to help you figure out what you want to say.
2Practice in the mirror. All skills take practice, and good conversation skills are no different.[1] X Research source If you have a big speech to give or an important conversation coming up, it can be helpful to practice it with yourself in the mirror beforehand. This way, you'll at least have a run through in your mind already before you attempt the real thing. And it will help you work out any possible problems that may arise (in your argument, stumbling over words, etc.).
3Read a lot. The more you know about a topic, the better you'll be at talking about that topic. Reading will help you enhance your knowledge and will boost your diction in the process.Advertisement
Method 2 of 3:
Speaking in Informal Settings
1Make eye contact. This technique is so important, but many people forget about it when speaking to people. It shows attentiveness and interest in what's being said. Increased eye contact is associated with credibility and dominance[2] X Trustworthy Source Michigan State University Extension Extension program of Michigan State University focused on community outreach, education, and engagement Go to source , so it is important to maintain solid eye contact when speaking to someone.
2Smile. Something as simple as a smile can completely change the way a conversation goes. Smiling helps us form and sustain interpersonal relationships[3] X Research source , so it is an essential part of communicating with others.
3Practice open/relaxed body language. Your body language should be relaxed. This means that you should not cross your arms or stiffen your body. Keeping your arms open invites reciprocated communication rather than sending a message of being closed and unreceptive.
4Avoid harsh tones. Your tone of voice can be an immediate deciding factor for how someone interprets what you say. You could say a phrase in a positive tone and someone would interpret it positively, while saying the same thing in a harsh tone would lead to a negative interpretation.
5Don't get off on tangents. Verbal communication is different than other forms of communication in that it is easier to get off topic, which can make it hard to remember what the conversation was really supposed to be about. This is confusing for your listener. So, stay on topic.
6Show confidence. Before you start talking, you should be confident that you can achieve the goal you have for engaging in this conversation. If you are unsure of yourself, your conversation partner will be less receptive to your message.Advertisement
Method 3 of 3:
Speaking in Public/Formal Settings
1Be concise and clear. Do not add irrelevant elements in your speech. Get to the point and say what you mean so that your listener can respond accordingly.
2Don't get off on tangents. Verbal communication is different than other forms of communication in that it is easier to get off topic, which can make it hard to remember what the conversation was really supposed to be about. This is confusing for your listener. So, stay on topic.
3Be considerate. Always include a consideration for your audience/listeners when planning out a speech or thinking about an upcoming conversation. You don't want to say something that might be taken the wrong way or offend your audience.
4Make eye contact. Making and maintaining eye contact is crucial when speaking to people, whether one-on-one or in a group setting. It shows attentiveness and interest in what's being said. Increased eye contact is associated with credibility and dominance[4] X Trustworthy Source Michigan State University Extension Extension program of Michigan State University focused on community outreach, education, and engagement Go to source , so it is important to maintain solid eye contact when speaking to individuals or to a group.
- Note: When you are addressing a crowd, you should not look at one for more than 5 seconds. This is too personal/intimate for a group setting.
5Smile. Practice smiling while you speak. This is especially important when addressing groups of people because it is a simple way to build a foundational relationship with people you may not have any one-on-one interaction with. Smiling helps us form and sustain interpersonal relationships[5] X Research source , so it is an essential part of communicating with others.
6Pace yourself. Do not speak in hurry, as it will make the listener think that you are confused or that you don't know what you're talking about. Speak slowly and confidently.
7Avoid sarcasm. From the standpoint of a listener, a sarcastic remark requires a process of decoding and interpretation before they can understand what has been said, what has been meant, and if the two are the same.[6] X Research source
8Try to incorporate humor. Everyone likes to laugh, so humor can be a great way to lighten up your conversation and make your listener more receptive to your message.
- Note: Of course, you should avoid vulgar or inappropriate humor to avoid offending your listener.
9Practice open/relaxed body language. Your body language should be relaxed. This means that you should not cross your arms or stiffen your body.
- When addressing groups of people, it is important to use your hand gestures to emphasize your message.[7] X Research source Try not to be overly animated, but don't keep your arms stiff at your side either.
10Be sure of yourself. Your audience won't put any stock in what you say if you act unsure or timid. You have to show your listeners that you believe in your message before you can expect them to believe you too.Advertisement

The Wargamer's Guide to... The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937 - 45)10 Sep 2018 0
The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) is often relegated to the status of 'sideshow', only mentioned to better set the stage for the daring exploits of the British Army in Burma or provide context for the brutal struggles that faced Allied forces in the Pacific during WW2.
In reality the war for mainland China was so much more: Battles raged from the Great Wall in the north to the humid subtropics of the South China Sea, fought by millions of soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalists, Mao Zedong's Communists, and an eclectic assortment of regional Warlords. It was here that the majority of Japan's war materiel and active divisions were stationed, here where the hardened veterans that devastated Allied forces in the Pacific first saw combat, and here where the fate of modern China was decided.
It's not a 'hot topic' in terms of computer wargames, so finding credible gaming material is difficult, but we've rounded up some of the better and largely modern examples for anyone looking to take an interest in one of the grandest, and most underappreciated, theatres of the larger Second World War.
Order of Battle: World War Two (Morning Sun DLC)
Order of Battle (OoB) remains one of the few modern games that directly addresses the Second Sino-Japanese War. The pros and cons of the OoB system have been detailed in a handful of articles across this website, so I will sidestep a full review. Suffice it to say that OoB's revised Panzer General formula, especially the addition of a supply system, makes for an elegant, if simplistic means of fighting the expansive battles of the Second Sino-Japanese War.
The missions themselves cover the major beats of the war, with embellishments here and there in army composition and available resource. Oddly, the campaign is topped off by a fictitious final mission that sees your forces seizing Nationalist China's wartime capital, Chongqing, and (potentially) capturing Chiang Kai-shek himself! Morning Sun is an enjoyable, easygoing look at the Second Sino-Japanese War, though you should keep some reference material on hand to understand when and where the game strays from reality. You can also experience the periphery of the conflict in the more recent Burma Road DLC, which focuses on the British Army's endeavours in Burma, or Myanmar as it is known today.
The Operational Art of War IV
The Operational Art of War IV is not for everyone. It sits triumphantly atop a teetering tower of manuals, mocking the more casual among us who are put off by the numerous menus and detailed combat formulas. If, however, you are of stout heart and have a hardy grognard constitution, the beast can be unseated, and you can be treated to a thoroughly enjoyable and remarkably deep wargaming sandbox. Among the many scenarios included is a full campaign scenario for the Second Sino-Japanese War.
It is set up as a Play-by-E-mail (PBEM) scenario, and it shows. The war is laid out in remarkable depth, and I found myself excited at the lengths to which the designer went. Unfortunately, as I do not have any friends as crazy as I, I could not try out the PBEM mode. Instead I found my AI opponent making odd moves trying to cover so vast a battlefield. If you know someone that shares your love of hardcore strategy, there is probably no deeper an expression of the difficulties of the Second Sino-Japanese War than this scenario.
Hearts of Iron IV (Waking the Tiger DLC)
Hearts of Iron IV (HoI IV) is a fiercely divisive game. Some enjoy its streamlined nature, while others are put off by the simplification of old systems. Although apprehensive myself, and initially put off by bugs and 'interesting' AI, I can safely say that HoI IV is now one game that I return to again and again. As for the Second Sino-Japanese War, HoI IV initially missed the mark. I would often see Japan handily defeat the Chinese forces by 1938-9, and HoI IV's simplified infrastructure and supply systems did not do justice to the immense difficulties facing both sides.
The DLC Waking the Tiger made some significant improvements to the theatre, expanding decision trees for everyone in the region and allowing for multiple unique playthroughs in both China and Japan. The game is still not without problems, but I'm rarely dissatisfied with an evening playing HoI IV. As one of the few modern games that dedicated resources and time to (somewhat) realizing the political intricacies and what-ifs of the Second Sino-Japanese War, you'll rarely find yourself without a new strategy to try, even if the game system itself limits 'realistic' supply and infrastructure issues.
Company of Heroes (Far Eastern War Mod)
The scarcity of games covering the Second Sino-Japanese War has not stopped the more talented among us from creating modifications for existing products. Company of Heroes, an aged, but well-loved Real Time Strategy (RTS) is one of them. While Far Eastern War has no campaign, there are a solid number of skirmish maps and two new armies to fight over them. Each unit comes with a minor description indicating its role and utility and both the Chinese and Japanese armies can be refined, as in the base game, into one of three specializations.
Action is fast and requires frenetic yet accurate clicking to see your forces to victory. Some weapons could use re-balancing, the AI's pinpoint accuracy with knee mortars, for example. Overall there are few bugs, but the lack of appropriate voices takes you out of the experience. Hearing my Chinese officer urge his conscripted peasants on in a southern drawl was jarring. For a close arcade-y look at the small arms combat of the Second Sino-Japanese War, there are worse places to end up than a lovingly crafted mod for a tried and true game system.
Strategic Command Classic: Global Conflict
The cracks are starting to show in Strategic Command's older entries, yet the boardgame-like structure in Global Conflict works to create an appropriate vision of the Second Sino-Japanese War. The main scenario, which sees you fight as the entire Allied or Axis commands, forces you to balance preparations for the global war while struggling to maintain or reinforce the battle line in China. By 1939 the Japanese had made significant advances inland.
The gruelling slog that resulted from the inability of either side to administer a decisive blow meant little change would come until the Japanese Ichi-Go offensive in 1944. Constantly being aware of the cost of maintaining the line in China while trying to plan for future offensives as the Axis player is a daunting exercise but makes Strategic Command Classic: Global Conflict one of the few wargames that seems to appreciate the magnitude of Japan's commitment in China. As the Allied player you must consider how much to commit to battle in China, as it is difficult to resupply the Chinese forces until the other allies can make some significant gains elsewhere.
Perhaps while gaming the Second Sin-Japanese war, it is best keep in mind an old warrior's saying: "Keep men, lose land: land can be taken again. Keep land, lose men: land and men are both lost." -Mao Zedong.

BC couldn't get through the zone, or in it, against Syracuse on Tuesday night.
The last time Boston College men's basketball left the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York, the team was still aglow with the magic of the night. The 6-19 Eagles, flailing on their longest losing streak of the season, took on the most powerful team in the ACC and the No. 1 team in the nation, and came out victorious. Their sophomore phenom led the way, dropping 20 points. It took an overtime period, but it was enough, and the Eagles took home a win.
This season things are a little bit different. Syracuse remains unranked this year. Although the team is 13-5 overall and currently fourth in the ACC, it is 0-2 against ranked teams, and hasn't played one of the five ranked ACC squads yet this season.
The Eagles, meanwhile, picked up a new head coach, a win against Harvard for the first time in seven years, and three more wins than they had at this time last season. BC also came in fresh from one of its best games of the season against No. 2 Virginia, which only pulled away in the latter part of the second half. For a short stretch, optimism returned.
In the first edition of BC-Syracuse this season, however, the Eagles were tripped up again. After taking an early lead, BC could do little right on either end of the court. A late comeback in the final two minutes of the game made things interesting, but the Orange came away as the better team, wrapping up the contest with a 69-61 win.
For the first five minutes of the game, BC was almost still playing like a good team. On the defensive end, it certainly was—BC coach Jim Christian had his team use a series of double-teams and switches to keep the ball away from Syracuse's six-foot-nine leading scorer, Rakeem Christmas. It actually took Syracuse almost five minutes to hit its first field goal, going 0-6 until Christmas knocked down a jumper.
On the other end, BC's senior transfers shined. Aaron Brown and Dimitri Batten combined to go 4-6 from beyond the arc, launching BC out to a quick 12-4 lead.
Anyone who has watched BC this season, however, has heard this story before. While the team can have spurts of success in long-range shooting, a sudden cooldown is inevitable. In Tuesday night's game, that came just over five minutes into the half, when BC began a nine-minute stretch that included seven missed jumpers, one missed layup, and four turnovers. The only positive result: a made free throw by Patrick Heckmann.
In that same time, the Orange put up 18 points, which included four layups and a dunk. They would never relinquish the lead.
After such an abysmal first half, it's a wonder how BC could have ever hung with a ranked team, let alone the number two team in the country. The best answer? Try Syracuse's zone. The Orange began the game using it and rarely varied, and it wasn't until the second half that BC found ways to penetrate it.
In the first half, however, the Eagles had no answer other than to shuttle the ball around the perimeter and pray that someone else would make a play. No one did.
Instead, BC would shoot 10 threes before the team even attempted a single 2-point field goal. No one made a two until Brown dropped a jumper 14 minutes into the game, and BC's first successful shot at the hoop didn't come until two minutes into the second half.
Even though Syracuse's zone was a good one, BC had no excuse for playing this way. Against UVA, the Eagles rarely settled for 3-pointers, preferring to drive inside. Even though a good amount of their attempts weren't successful, this opened up enough space for BC to find good looks from in front of the arc. After all, as Christian has emphasized already this season, the Eagles depend on this type of offense..
Individually, this zone most seriously affected BC's top two leaders in offensive win shares: Dennis Clifford and Olivier Hanlan. Hanlan was held scoreless in the first half, completely failing to penetrate. He did hit a few 3-pointers of his own in the second half, but ultimately finished with an underwhelming 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting, certainly failing to surpass his 20-point performance last time at Carrier.
Clifford, who was locked in a battle with Christmas most of the game, proved to be almost a complete non-factor in the scoresheet. He attempted just one field goal, and finished with one point after going one-for-two at the line. He picked up just one rebound and one block, and fouled out with two minutes to go in the game—a direct result of guarding Christmas.
Christmas, though, fouled out just eight seconds after Clifford, adding some intrigue to an otherwise uneventful second half.
With both big men out of the picture, Syracuse faltered slightly, missing eight free throws and committing two turnovers. This prodded the Eagles into action—BC cut it as close six points—but they didn't have the same magic on their side, chucking up threes that clanged off the rim instead of finding the center.
Like a good amount of the games BC has played and will play this season, this wasn't one that necessarily should have been won. Syracuse has a talented basketball program, and at the moment, BC's isn't at the same level. But there are certain things that will drive Christian crazy. One of the biggest, perhaps, came in the waning seconds of the first half. Syracuse threw up a long, fadeaway 3-pointer at the shot clock buzzer. Instead of grabbing the rebound, the Eagles stood around and watched as Orange guard Trevor Cooney slipped through a hole, grabbed the ball, and laid it in, nearly uncontested, as time expired.
This wasn't necessarily the difference, but it was something BC could control—and something it should do if it wants to rise from the cellar of the ACC. Christian also has to figure out how to consistently get his three guards—Hanlan, Brown, and Batten—to drive and create better shots for themselves and one another, or the shooting streaks will stay cold for as long as a New England winter.

The freedom to choose
Forty years ago research conducted by Walter Mischel at Stanford University found one single factor that can predict the successful outcome of a person's life.. It was discovered through a test conducted on three years olds. A marshmallow was placed in front of them and they were given the option to eat it or wait fifteen minutes and have two marshmallows. The children continued to be followed up for over forty years and repeatedly the group who waited patiently for the second marshmallow succeeded in whatever capacity was being measured. In other words, this series of experiments showed that the ability to delay gratification is critical for success in life. So often the Christian church is portrayed as out of touch with life today. Here is a lesson the church has been offering for years; Success usually comes down to choosing the pain of discipline over the ease of distraction. Today's scriptures teach that we are planted in God, the vineyard of life, hedged with protection, provided with a watchtower to keep marauders away. We are given everything we need to produce good fruit, indeed we are expected to do so. Our actions have consequences and our moral choices matter. We are also given the freedom to choose. Do we have the discipline to choose wisely? How do you think Christians in NZ can get this message of life-giving discipline across?

Hangzhou Bay to get 2nd bridge
A PLAN to build a second bridge across Hangzhou Bay, which will reduce the drive time between Shanghai and Ningbo to less than two hours, was granted approval yesterday.
The 66-kilometer span, of which 54km will be over water, will link Shanghai's Jinshan District with Cixi City in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, the Ningbo government said.
The road-rail bridge will reduce the distance between Shanghai and Ningbo to 160km from 200km, officials said.
The government did not provide cost for the project, but said its traffic infrastructure budget for the year, which includes the new bridge, is 18.1 billion yuan (US$2.95 billion).
The new bridge is part of a wider scheme to improve traffic links between Yangtze Delta cities. The first Hangzhou Bay Bridge opened in 2008 at a cost of 11.8 billion yuan.
Last month, work got under way on the world's longest cable-stayed bridge, which will reduce the drive time between Shanghai and Nantong in Jiangsu Province to about an hour, from three hours at present.

While I have written occasionally on American electoral politics in the context of BDS and the US-Israel relationship, I don't think I've ever made any statements – besides the occasional aside – about an Israeli election.
This is not just because I don't subscribe to the fantasy that a lone US blogger can have an impact on international affairs. Rather, this omission is likely the result of being part of the overwhelming consensus within the pro-Israel community that appreciates Israelis – and Israelis alone – carry the burden of citizenship and thus should not be hectored (especially by those who bear no responsibility for electoral outcomes) over whom they should vote for.
But the latest election tumult in the Jewish state does cry out for analysis, albeit one that hopefully sheds light versus casts aspersions.
Especially since the person at the center of the tumult, long-time Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has not just helmed the Jewish state for so long, but that his tenure in many political roles makes him an historic figure, one worthy of being considered Israel's third founder.
The first founder was Theodor Herzl, the Austro-Hungarian writer and journalist who initially created an imaginary Jewish state in his fiction, then worked tirelessly to turn that dream into reality. While Herzl's political organization and advocacy made him a controversial figure in his day, the fact that he never became the leader of an actual state meant he did not face the awesome challenge of rule which requires hard choices and trade-offs, some of them with life-and-death consequences.
Israel's second founder was Ben-Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister who set in motion nearly all of the policies that define the Jewish state to this day: ingathering of exiles, standing firm against enemies while also holding out hope for peace, and creating and building institutions of statehood. Like all of the Prime Ministers who succeeded him, Ben Gurion made his share of mistakes and his ruthless approach to political enemies helped cement political fault lines that have yet to heal. But like Herzl, Ben-Gurion had a vision of a strong and independent Israel that served as his North Star, a vision that helps explain both his good and bad choices.
The leaders who succeeded Ben-Gurion includes impressive figures like Golda Meir, Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin and Arial Sharon, all of whom shaped Israeli history in their own way. But, ignoring their successes and blunders (some of them – like the Oslo fiasco – monumental) each of these leaders played cards they were dealt, rather than inventing an entirely new game.
Netanyahu's long-term vision, and his success at achieving it, pushes him past this pantheon into the tiny category of "founders," i.e., leaders who transformed a nation, rather than just managing its affairs or navigating it through crises.
While no single person can be credited with turning the Jewish state into an economic powerhouse whose brain-based industries put it on par with the oil wealth of Israel's enemies, Netanyahu's decades-long commitment to liberalizing the Israeli economy – freeing it from the shackles of Ben-Gurion's state socialism – was one of the prime factors leading to Startup Nation.
Other Israeli leaders have caved in to pressures (internal and external) or hubris to "do something" vis-à-vis the Arab-Israeli conflict, leading to fiascos like the Gaza withdrawal and the aforementioned Oslo disaster. But Netanyahu's vision of a Jewish state with enough economic, military and diplomatic strength to stand on its own – despite its diminutive size and limited resources – served as his North Star, which helps explain Netanyahu's ability to shape domestic politics and withstand foreign pressures (especially during an era when a hostile US administration required extraordinarily deft navigation) leading to the strong, wealthy, diplomatically successful Israel we know today.
Yes, Bibi has made his share of blunders, as have all his predecessors (and everyone else who has ever taken on the responsibility to lead a nation). But I suspect that the pathological hatred of him outside of Israel is the result not of his prickly personality but of his success. For if you look at what the Israel haters despise most (including Netanyahu, AIPAC and Israel itself) you see a list of those entities most effective at keeping the Jewish people safe, free and secure.
With that having been said, the title of this piece will ring a warning bell to those who know their Roman history. For the "Third Founder of Rome" was an informal title given to Gaius Marius, the general who saved the Republic from destruction by foreign enemies that had threatened the nation for years, in the process reforming Rome's military in ways that turned it into the most powerful in the ancient world.
Having saved the state and serving five times in the top executive position of Consul, Marius' star faded as a new generation of military and political leaders rose to power. Bitter at being left out to pasture, Marius threw in his lot with political radicals, giving him a sixth and seventh Consulship but leading directly to the first of many civil wars that would eventually destroy the Republic.
In bringing up Marius' story, I am in no way suggesting that any politician hanging in there past their sell date must lead to catastrophe. But if Marius ended up being the historic poster child for what happens when a political hero fails to know when to step back, another Roman – Cincinnatus – continues to serve as archetype for the democratic leader who knows when to call it a day.
Legend has it that after Cincinnatus was given supreme power to defeat Rome's enemies, and after succeeding in doing so, voluntarily gave up the heights of leadership to return to his farm. One need only visit our nation's capital where a marble statue of George Washington in toga, handing the sword he was given back to the people, demonstrates the impact Cincinnatus' story has had on democracy ever since.
Given his incomparable skill in outwitting political enemies, Netanyahu might emerge from the second Israeli election this year more powerful than ever before. But despite that spot of bother the Jewish people had with the Roman Empire way back when, Roman history provides powerful archetypes that can – or should – inform the choices of even the most powerful men and women today.
Unfortunately, many have forgotten lessons we should have learned from Roman folly – such as the consequences of trying to prosecute our political enemies, rather than defeat them democratically (one of the motivations for Julius Caesar to finally draw down the curtain on the Republic). But if we want more Cincinnatuses and fewer Mariuses in our political lives, we must find ways to give those who dedicate themselves to the nation a way to retire with the honor they (including their egos) deserve.

Previously we posted that formation of a business name is not sufficient to establish trademark rights. Generally, in order to acquire rights in and own a trademark, one needs to:
- be the first to use the mark;
You must be the first to use the mark. Furthermore, the mark that is chosen should be sufficiently different from others' marks in order to avoid confusing consumers as to the source of goods or services.
Limited exception: A trademark application can be filed prior to actual use that allows reservation of a mark for a limited time when there is a bona fide intent to use it.
- Using the mark in commerce means using the mark "the ordinary course of trade." This means that establishing rights can vary with the industry in which the mark is used. The typical manner of establishing use for a product is the sale of the product where the mark associated with the product. The typical manner of establishing use for a service is use of the mark in connection with a sale of the service. Typically, no rights are acquired by merely incorporating, organizing an limited liability company, filing an assumed name certificate, or registering a domain name.

A Queensland grandmother says heads must roll after teachers left her seven-year-old grandson at a public pool, prompting the distressed child to try to walk home.
The boy was found crying on a Townsville street after he was accidentally left behind after a school swimming carnival at a local pool on Wednesday.
He'd tried to make his own way home after realising his teachers and class mates had boarded a bus and left while he was in the change rooms.
Barbara Taylour says anything could have happened to the boy, and she's demanding those responsible lose their jobs.
"It's 11 years this week since Daniel Morcombe went missing," she told the Townsville Bulletin.
"Jaecob was even wearing a red shirt [the colour of the shirt Daniel was wearing when he disappeared]. Were we going to be that family today searching for our son and grandson?"
Ms Taylour later told the ABC she wanted the teachers responsible and the principal of Cranbrook State School sacked.
"They are supposed to be able to count," she said.
An education department spokesman told the newspaper that staff quickly realised the boy was missing, and searches were launched at the pool and the school.
Staff were still looking for him when a member of the public found the boy crying on the street, about half a kilometre from the pool.

Juanito Bayén Awarded Ciutat de Barcelona Prize
Juanito Bayén of Pinotxo, the perennial face of Barcelona's Boqueria market, has just been honored with the Ciutat de Barcelona prize as the most emblematic ambassador of the cuisine of Barcelona and of Catalunya.
"They have just given me a prize, you know," said Juanito with his thousand-kilowatt smile, undiminished in the 40 years I have known him. "Chef of the Year!" he jokes, poking fun at his little breakfast stand wedged into a corner of Barcelona's most famous produce market.
As usual in the early afternoon, bar stools are hard to come by at Pinotxo, which has been written about and celebrated ever since Barcelona began to become fashionable in the early 1980s. A group of four gentlemen from, apparently, Samoa or the Marshall Islands or somewhere very far away from the capital of Catalunya, was received like old friends by Juanito, whose generosity of spirit and general love of humanity, even more than his peerless fare, has made Pinotxo such a popular place, an oasis of conviviality in the swirling commercial maelstrom of the market.
"Que tomais? / What'll you have?" says Juanito, as he rattles off a list of his favorite über-fresh market ingredients of the day: oysters, razor clams, jumbo shrimp from Palamós. We stick with the tried and true: Juanito's iconic judias de Santa Pau (pygmy white beans from Santa Pau) with xipirones (baby octopus) and his cigrons amb morcilla (garbanzo beans with black sausage), all well irrigated with the house cava (Catalan sparkling wine) and accompanied by pa de pagés, literally peasant or farmer's bread, a crunchy yet tender and irresistible country bread for mopping up the juices.
The black sausage and chickpeas were dark and laced with cumin, while the white beans and xipirones were equally dark, cooked in squid ink. Both were liberally anointed with a light, flaky sea salt.
The Ciutat de Barcelona prize ceremony was held in the Saló de Cent, the Town Hall's standard venue for public events, where flying bronze bats (a ubiquitous Catalan and Crown of Aragón symbol) hang from the chandeliers and a sculpture of city patron Sant Jordi abusing a dragon occupies the left side of the dais. The Saló de Cent or Hall of the 100 commemorates the proto-democratic municipal governing body of Barcelona founded in 1249 (nearly 500 years before the establishment of the British House of Commons).
Assembled were nearly all of the leading lights of Catalunya's booming culinary world: Ferran Adrià, Joan Roca, Fermí Puig, Carme Ruscalleda, Carles Gaig, the Torres twins Sergio and Javier, Carles Abellán, and many others.
Ferran Adrià: "Juanito taught me to understand that gastronomy, beyond dining well, is enjoyment, affection, friendship, complicity, closeness."
Joan Roca: "Juanito is a living legend and will become a Boqueria myth. He represents authenticity, hospitality, perseverance in making people happy out of a little stand in the market."
Carme Ruscalleda: "Juanito knows how to make the gourmets on his bar stools happy. We love you and we admire you, Juanito!"
Fermí Puig: "To see a guy so happy so early in the morning while making your breakfast makes you feel like you're going to have a good day. Pinotxo, you still have enough energy to run marathons for years to come; you will end up with a statue in the Boqueria."
Carles Gaig: "Juanito is so overflowing with energy that you can't figure out whether he's 22 or 72."
Sergio Torres: "Juanito is an emblem of Barcelona, vital and with a sense of humor as big as he is. Anyone who wants to know Barcelona needs to visit Pinotxo to be impregnated by his spirit and experience true market cuisine."
Joan Bayén, Juanito, often confused with the long-nosed wooden puppet sitting on the roof over the corner of his bar, has been working here for 75 years and, at the age of 82, still rises daily at 4 a.m. to open Pinotxo at 6 a.m. sharp. At the age of six, he started helping his mother Catalina run her little hole-in-the-wall market bar after school. "I started by serving coffee and soon I was working at the bar, which changed places in the market several times." Married but without children, Juanito exudes an irrepressible sense of wellbeing, mirth, and mischievous humor, combined with a playful flirtatiousness that his legions of "novias" never fail to adore.
Photogenic and constantly photographed by clients and professionals alike, Juanito and Pinotxo are an ongoing media event. "Ah, this fame thing is starting to wear me down," he jokes through his enormous smile when we ask for a photo. Unchanged since I first saw him in 1975, Juanito sports a bristling head of reddish-brown hair, slightly spiky over the top, a frequent look among culinary asteroids around Spain, and it occurs to me for the first time that this is probably where it all began.

The JVM can turn heap allocations into stack allocations for the simple cases where it is actually possible.
Java didn't have the luxury of breaking backwards compatibility and forcing everyone to rewrite their software. They are looking at possible solutions that are less disruptive. Some of that is coming in Java 14/15.

Simply speaking,
De Icaza is a Microsoft fanboy and (secretly) evangelist.
Some years ago pushed mono to try to persuade opensource developers to use Microsoft tools and he get promoted in Xamarin.
Now Microsoft has a big problem: has lost control of web developing.
Web developers use opensource technologies and not microsoft ones. Also there are so many legacy third party Windows applications that must be ported on web.
The solutions is to push developers to use Blazor which is based on WebAssembly so C# developers can be recycled in building web applications and Microsoft can take again control of the developers' world.
So De Icaza again wears the evangelist hat and starts pushing WebAssembly.

Check out escape analysis for Java using stack memory
You can "box" data in VB.NET (and its sibling, Csharp.NET) but ultimately it is up to the VM processing the Bytecode to try to do the right thing. Just like the JVM.
Originally posted by Luke_Wolf View PostIt's cute of you to say that, but there's a reason that JVM programs are uniquely memory heavy, and that reason has nothing in particular to do with the underlying architecture of say a Java vs a C# application. In fact most of the broad strokes of how they're written are going to be the exact same, it is more in the fine strokes where they differ, and therefore an average C# and Java program should be using a similar amount of memory. Well they for all intents and purposes are (with the caveat mentioned in my previous post), the difference is that in the real world Java is throwing everything on the heap and you're at the mercy of the Garbage Collector whereas .NET handles about as much as a program written in other languages on the stack, and so the automatic memory management of the stack limits the impact on the memory overhead of the program.
(besides, the main benefit here would not be a reduction in overall memory usage, it would be increased performance from reduced object allocations and GC pressure, which is something that counts as an advantage C# has over Java for now)
Originally posted by Luke_WolfThey were almost as bad as Adobe. Sun Microsystems could have very easily have resolved the issue without forcing everyone to rewrite their software, a simple recompile with the artificial delineation between primitive types and Object derivatives being removed from the JVM ByteCode would have been enough, to be quite clear there's nothing in Java's fundamental language design that says primitive types can't be Objects and participate in generics.

No, Java is not throwing everything on the heap. That's what would happen if you had no optimizations at all (scalar replacement, escape analysis), but thankfully the JVM does do them in many cases. Also, you have to box value types in C# as well when doing anything interesting with them, and I'm not aware of C# applications being particularly memory efficient compared to Java, so this is all kind of academic stuff.
(besides, the main benefit here would not be a reduction in overall memory usage, it would be increased performance from reduced object allocations and GC pressure, which is something that counts as an advantage C# has over Java for now)
Changing the bytecode specification is a big deal... it's also completely unnecessary. They are implementing value types and generic specialization in what they call Project Valhalla.

The World's Largest Democracy Has Voted – A Second Chance for Modi's Economic Agenda?
Anil S. Paramesh
May 25, 2019
With a electorate of 1.2 billion, the world's largest democratic elections have just concluded in India. Narendra Damodardas Modi, the incumbent Prime Minister and his National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won an overwhelming mandate, taking 342 of 526 parliamentary seats. This margin of victory has not been seen for over four decades in Indian elections.
From Selling Roadside Tea to Confronting China
Narendra Modi's rise could be a made-for-movie story. A single man with humble beginnings, his first job had been a roadside tea vendor. A sharp mind and hard work ethic brought him into local politics, progressing to become a successful Chief Minister for the state of Gujarat, before he appeared on the world stage as the Prime Minister of India in 2014.
There has been a rise of right-wing nationalism across the world, whether this be in the U.S., Australia, U.K., and now with Modi in India. Modi's agenda is to make India great again, with his mantra for companies to "Make in India", in direct competition with China. He has instilled a sense of nationalistic fervor across the country, and in addition to building up the military, he famously had military showdowns with his hostile neighbors China (Doklam Pass standoff, 2017) and Pakistan (Balakot terrorist camp bombing, 2019). Both of these events made him hugely popular.
A Mixed Economic Legacy
Mr. Modi embarked on an ambitious economic agenda as soon as he took office in 2014. He invested in infrastructure to build better electricity, road and railway networks. He visited multiple countries soon after the election and allowed for privatization of industries and liberalization of economic policies to attract foreign investment. His government reduced bureaucracy, helping move India to 77th in the World Bank's 2019 Ease of Doing Business ranking, up from 134th place when he first took office in 2014. Similar to Social Security, he issued nationwide identity cards, tied to citizens' banking, social welfare, and other government programs. He simplified the tax code and created a nationwide Goods and Service Tax (GST). India's Foreign Exchange Reserves reached the highest they have ever been. In 2017, he was named the Third most powerful leader in the world in a Gallup Poll.
But all of his projects did not go as he planned. In an effort to root out corruption and "black" money, he announced overnight the demonetization of certain currency notes, to be exchanged at banks. While it was partially successful in curbing an underground cash economy, it was a logistical nightmare and turned out to become very unpopular. During his five-year term, unemployment increased to its highest level in 45 years. The overall unemployment rate was 6.1%, and in rural areas it was as high as 17.7%. His political party has been accused of inciting religious riots in the name of right-wing Hinduism.
A Second Chance
Despite some of these setbacks and a prolonged election process, Modi's message of nationalism appeared to resonate with the electorate. He won with a wide margin, encompassing all ages, genders and religions. He now gets a second chance to finish what he started. With his increased mandate, it is possible he may make bolder moves.
In his victory speech, he announced that by 2030, he would make India the third largest economy in the world (up from its current sixth place), and bring India to the $5 trillion club, which only a few First World countries hold a stake in. He is seen as business-friendly, and the Indian Sensex stock market hit a new high the day Modi's election victory was announced.
But his victory comes at a time when the world is the midst of economic turmoil. World markets are declining due to current trade wars between China and the United States. China remains India's largest trading partner, and a collapse of the Chinese markets would harm the Indian economy. As opposed to China, India's economy is a consumer-based economy, rather than a manufacturing one. And there is evidence that consumer spending is slowing. These may play against Modi's plans.
With his nationalistic stance, Modi has built up the Indian Armed Forces and vows to defend and respond to any military incursions. India has disputed land borders with both Pakistan and China, and there are frequent minor skirmishes along these. Increased military posturing may result in an escalation to war between three nuclear-armed nations, a scenario that the Indian Government and economy cannot afford.
Modi has been given a second chance to expand one of the largest economies in the world. He is intelligent, hard-working, and we can hope, well-intentioned. He has been given a clear mandate, with the large majority of the country behind him. The world is watching, as Mr. Modi gets a chance to wield this power and responsibility again.

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has told fans that they must be patient for him to get back to his devastating form, the Standard reports.
The 26-year-old suffered a three-month absence from playing football after sustaining an ankle injury in the summer. The Belgian effectively missed the first month of the season, with his only start coming in the Carabao Cup against Nottingham Forest. In the league, it's mainly been late substitute appearances for Hazard.
After recently been nominated for the Ballon D'Or as part of the 30-man shortlist, Hazard believes that getting on the pitch and finding his feet again is more important than him putting in great displays week in week out, as the Standard reports.
Hazard is quoted by the Standard saying:
"I worked out during the summer. I will miss some games, I will play some bad games. I just want to play football and try to bring the best out of me."
Despite Hazard's fitness certainly not being an issue as it was at the start of the 2015-16 season. It's important for Antonio Conte that he gets the player that was so influential in us winning the league last season.
If Conte can get Hazard anywhere near the same level, then we have nothing to worry about.

UPDATE 10.15pm : Blogger Saga Merah wrote an interesting article here. It asked questions which I am sure Chua Soi Lek and the rest of the chinese community leaders will find it hard to answer. Please share your opinion there.
There are talks that the Prime Minister, Dato Sri Najib Tun Razak will give the most watered down speech in the history of Umno General Assembly.
He disguised this with a new term which he calls the 'New Political Model'.
He has instructed all the Umno wings and Umno representative speakers not to use a hardline approach in this year's assembly.
This year we shall see an Umno assembly which is devoid of any keris thrusting or fiery speeches made by attention seekers.
Come to think of it, as far as I remember, the only time a keris was used as a prop for a speaker at the rostrum was back in 2006 when Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein tried to show the world that he has enough gumption and manliness to wade through any challenges towards Umno leadership. What a tough man he was (is?).
That was when Umno thought they can be popular forever.
That was when pride grew to become arrogance and conceitedness.
There are talks however that Najib will extend conciliatory effort in appeasing the public a little bit more, especially towards the community MCA is trying to woo. This is where risks of further alienating himself from the source of his political power will become more prominent.
These days, two other main components in Barisan Nasional had taken a strong approach in rebuking Umno out in the open.
In their party conventions, MCA has no qualms in stating that they will disagree with Umno from time to time especially when it is concerning the chinese.
MCA is doing what a communal party would do. That is understandable. Gone were the days when collective responsibility and tolerance were the founding principles of Barisan Nasional's administrative policy.
MCA is asking this and that to appease their community. Naturally, MIC as a party struggling for the benefit of indians is also demanding something from the government.
Although both MCA and MIC are not in the position to demand anything due to the fact that, after the 12th general elections, their powerbase had become so small, that it defies logic should they want to ask for more.
If you are not in the position to negotiate anything more, what else can you bring to the table for the whole group i.e., Barisan Nasional?
Cannibalising the group for the sake of vague, future profits is not a good strategy at all for the whole group.
Can MCA and MIC guarantee votes from the chinese and indians in the next general election? Only the most optimistic person on earth can give such guarantees.
This is where Umno clearly do not understand its role as a member of the Barisan Nasional party.
If Umno do not want to lose further support from its powerbase, taking a hardline approach is needed.
Let's look at the spirit of this coalition. It started as The Alliance of three main parties pre-Merdeka which were Umno, MCA and MIC.
Each one of them represented the community. The letter 'M' in Umno stood for 'Malay', the letter 'C' in MCA stood for chinese while the letter 'I' in MIC stood for indian.
Each of this party will demand concessions and benefits that will improve their community. They will ask for the sky in their own party meetings.
All these demands in the form of party resolutions will be thrashed out in The Alliance's weekly or monthly meetings. It became the Barisan Nasional monthly meetings after 1973.
All the racial resolutions and demands will be discussed, sorted and deliberated in these meetings. It is a tried and tested formula.
Your party will do all the posturings but it is Barisan Nasional who will have the final say. This is what we call collective responsibility and accountability.
Nowadays, the presidents of other parties besides Umno treat themselves as if they are not part of Barisan Nasional and not having collective responsibility altogether. Worse, they do not feel accountable to all the decisions made by Barisan Nasional.
Bear in mind. Umno is not the only party in Barisan Nasional. What on earth do you guys talk or do in Barisan Nasional monthly meetings?
Eating karipaps?
If Umno became the only party who do not wish to present themselves as the fighter for the Malay's cause IN ITS OWN general assembly, then like I said earlier, it will further alienate the Malays in the near future. It has failed to embrace the Demi Agama, Bangsa and Negara motto they had cradled so close to their hearts all this while.
Even PBB in East Malaysia will look after their community first. Is Umno ashamed to take up the mantle of thinking about its people first?
Yes Umno is allowed to talk about the Malays in their general assembly. Yes, they are allowed to talk about the fate of 16 million malays in this country. But talk in a sensible manner. Not like the ones we see in 2006. No keris is needed to deliver a point.
Barisan Nasional is there to water down any demands from all communities. Everything is held behind closed doors. Angry proposals, dire threats, tough negotiations are to be made behind this closed doors. But once a decision is made, everyone will stick to it with open hearts and a smile on their faces.
You then will have a strong coalition and importantly, a credible one.
What we see now is the breakdown of leadership in Umno. A weak leader going the wrong way of the spectrum trying to diffuse the rant and tantrums of a weaker partner in the coalition.
Is this the way forward? Bending over backwards to satisfy the demands from weak parties that won't necessarily translate into votes?
No more. Umno leaders must show they have a backbone. The annual assembly is the place to affirm their raison d'etre. Tell the Malays that Umno will always memperjuangkan nasib Melayu.
And back it up with actions.
The delegates can demand anything they wishes. No holding back. Show to the Malays that Umno, amidst the onslaught from racists and agents of disunity, have huge reservoir of Malay spirit left within the party.
Question, if other parties within Barisan Nasional are looking after their own communities first, should Umno lose focus and become more inclusive towards other races?
If the answer is yes, will the people now acknowledge the fact that Umno is indeed seen as the leading party in Malaysia? And if they are the leading party, should they be given the clear mandate to rule the political landscape?
I find it odd that people often asked Umno to be more multiracial in its approach but said nothing when other parties time and time again would take up issues that belong to their own race only.
Umno must never lose sight of their struggle. If they are too soft in their stance on the challenges facing the malays, they may be left alone going towards the next general election.
Therefore, one just have to ask, is Umno's current endeavour a misplaced struggle?
As usual, I am open for discussion. Thank you.

That Old Black Magic Has Us in Its Spell
by Timothy Spearman
Today's youth have been programmed to accept the New World Order of Satan just as the 60's generation was programmed to accept the revolution that would usher it in. For them it was "the dawning of the Age of Aquarius" as the Hair musical announced.Speaking of his travels and meetings with people from other lands and cultures, Friedrich Nietzsche commented, "What one people called good, another people called evil." We do not have a chance to judge the goodness of our customs unless we can compare them with the values of other lands. It is only when you travel that you are able to remove the rose-colored glasses of your youth and gaze on the practices of your own nation and people with uncolored vision. When I traveled to Europe, I could view North American culture through the eyes of Europeans. I had been deprogrammed. For the first time, I could see my culture through foreign eyes and I developed a dislike for some things I saw from my vantage point across the Atlantic. When I traveled to the East and lived in South Korea for 12 years, I could view western culture and civilization with Eastern eyes. The imposed Eurocentric view that western history was somehow more laudable and admirable soon disappeared as the cultural programming of my early life wore off.
In my youth, I spent hours listening to the rock 'n roll groups and progressive rock bands of the 60's and 70's in a hypnotic fog. Some of the lyrics fascinated me. Some I barely understood. Many were psychedelic and produced a feeling akin to a drug-induced reverie. It never occurred to me at the time that I was being hypnotized, brainwashed or mind-programmed as my mother maintained. It never dawned on me that the music industry could be controlled by music companies with affiliations to intelligence services engaged in MK-ULTRA-style mind control experiments through music. But then, I did not know then what I know now.
I now know that the All-seeing Eye of Lucifer, who George Orwell referred to as Big Brother, is keeping an eye on us all. Just look at the logo for British intelligence unit MI5 and you will see the same pyramid, missing capstone and All-seeing Eye you find on the Great Seal of the United States featured on the hind side of the American one dollar bill. Indeed, Lucifer, often represented by the sun gods of the ancient world, is watching our every move. The print, music, and film industries are dominated by the Luciferian Illuminati bloodline families who have engaged in occult practices and witchcraft for centuries. Indeed, the word 'media' is derived from Medea, where the Medes, the sorcerers and shamans of the ancient world met to perform arcane rites for the mind-control of their subjects. Is it merely coincidence? To those who dismiss conspiracy as a theory, it will always be coincidence, but then they are so somnambulant, they would sleep through an earthquake.
How many of the rock stars of the modern era have participated wittingly or unwittingly in the program to hypnotize the young into the service of Satan. The name of the rock group KISS, for example, is said to be formed of the anagram K.I.S.S. meaning Kids in Service of Satan.
The lyrics to Kate Bush's song "Experiment IV" is deeply disturbing in light of the Montauk and MK-ULTRA mind-control programs of the British and American Illuminati-controlled intelligence services. It is clear from the opening verses that the story is intended to be autobiographical, whether fiction or otherwise. The narrator is obviously relating an experience from his or her past. There is no definitive evidence that the speaker is Kate Bush. However, given that she is a musician, the experience seems to be close to her. Do the song lyrics convey something that happened to her or someone close to her? You be the judge:We were working secretly
For the military.
Our experiment in sound,
Was nearly ready to begin.
We only know in theory
What we are doing:
Music made for pleasure,
Music made to thrill.
It was music we were making here untilThey told us
All they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance.
So we go ahead,
And the meters are over in the red.
It's a mistake in the making.From the painful cry of mothers,
To the terrifying scream,
We recorded it and put it into our machine.Note also that the experience is told in the past tense as if recalled from memory. Did Kate Bush participate in MK-ULTRA-style experiments on behalf of the British or American military? If she did, then this is a very cleverly disguised autobiographical song. To the unassuming or those not in the know, it would appear to be a song with a science fiction theme. However, there is just one problem with that analysis. Science fiction tales are normally told in the future tense.
For those unfamiliar with the MK-ULTRA program, it is said to have been a joint operation of the Anglo-American intelligence services based on the mind-control experiments undertaken by Nazi scientists during the war. Researchers such as Noam Chomsky maintain that many of these Nazi scientists were spirited out of Nazi Germany at the end of the war as part of the joint American and British intelligence operation known as Project Paperclip. Nazi operatives such as Joseph Mengele carried on business as usual with mind-control and other experiments of horror in Brazilian rainforests and other locales in Latin America. Mengele purportedly changed his name to Dr. Green and was responsible for programming many mind-control subjects of the MK-ULTRA project. David Icke's interview with Arizona Wilder recorded on a videotape titled "Revelations of a Mother Goddess" provides chilling testimony on the subject.
Along with these experiments were others coordinated by the Tavistock Institute in London to devise means of programming the populations of the world through mind control techniques developed by the intelligence services of the western world. The aim was to perfect the techniques of the Nazis by using subliminal imaging in the mind. The human mind is only able to register 32 frames per second in film. However, the unconscious mind can pick up far more, so it is these subliminal images, which are invisible to the conscious mind, that are picked up by the subconscious. Slow the film down and you can actually see the subliminal imaging.The same technique was employed in the music industry with powerful effects. The Tavistock Institute would then conduct surveys in other countries to gather data on the effectiveness of their programming.
We speak of TV and radio 'programs'. Indeed, television does have a programming effect. When you think about how television was first introduced as wholesome family entertainment and how through slow covert means has become a corrupting influence in the home, you realize the entire programming effort has been conducted surreptitiously and with great stealth. Once the hearth of the home not unlike the fireplace of the 19th century, the television has evolved into the most insidious psychological programming instrument in world history. Who are the modern day Medes, the techno-shamans and sorcerers of the post-industrial age? They no longer meet in Medea but control us through the 'media'. They meet where witches have convened in covens for thousands of years, in tree groves like Hollywood and Pinewood Studios. As Ella Fitzgerald once sang so eloquently, "That old black magic has me in its spell."

Project Description
The renovation and reuse of a portion of the Grove City campus drove the 400 bed project that was developed next to the stadium and downtown Grove City. This project's unique semi-circle plan allowed it to be placed between two historic structures; the Siegel Center, which is currently serving as an alumni center, and the historic President's Residence. The facility contains apartments for upper-classmen, faculty apartments, a recreation center, visitation parlors, Administrative offices and a catering kitchen. The project's shape has led to its use for outdoor activities, plays and pre-game rallies.
