Implementation of BENEFIC continues
In this newsletter, we give you an overview of new BENEFIC project realizations in 2020. After two open calls for proposals in 2018, a total of 7.324.232 euros was granted for (ultra) (fast) charging infrastructure, gas stations for hydrogen and (L)CNG, and shore power installations.
As a result of several delays during the implementation of projects (among others due to the COVID-19 crisis), the BENEFIC partners requested an extension which is currently being processed. The BENEFIC partners are also considering the organization of a third, reflow call in 2021. Stay tuned!
Fastned - (ultra)fast chargers
This Fastned station in Amsterdam is located on Tafelbergweg, on the so-called Foodstrip with a number of roadside restaurants. Fastned installed 10 spots for charging up to 300kW. The number of chargers may be expanded in the future because the occupancy rate is already high.
This Fastned station is located on Stadionweg, on the outskirts of the city and close to the entrance and exit of the motorway. The station is well located for a large part of the residents and visitors of Rotterdam South. As a land owner, the municipality of Rotterdam has made a new location available for a fast charging station. This has helped to speed up the construction of a station in Rotterdam. The station with roof is clearly visible and accessible for both passenger cars and city distribution.
The Fastned station in Ostend is located on the site of Ostend-Bruges Airport. The station serves both coastal traffic, as well as the taxis and shuttle services that serve passengers at the airport. The site has been made available by the airport operating company. Fastned installed 4 spots for charging up to 300 kW, with a possibility to expand in the future.
The awarded BENEFIC subsidy helped to partly cover the start-up investment costs for all three projects, thereby creating more certainty that the total investment in the station will be earned back.
Drive Systems - 2 LNG/CNG stations
On 9 November 2020, the first LNG trucks were able to refuel at the brand new station of Drive Systems in Ranst. The station offers LNG in the direction of Eindhoven and Hasselt, and CNG in both directions, on the grounds of the E313 motorway station of Q8.
By offering LNG on the motorway, a new, efficient refueling option has been added for both international and regional transport, and detour kilometers are avoided.
Also in Londerzeel, an LNG/CNG station was recently opened, in the heart of the Londerzeel - Willebroek logistics zone. This project was realized in collaboration with Transport Van den Broek and Brandstoffen Maes.
The 'Gasdrive' project lowers the thresholds for switching to gas-powered vehicles. This will give transport companies access to an alternative fuel that reduces both costs and environmental impact. Both stations will offer bio-LNG in the near future.
The financial support from the BENEFIC project was decisive in taking this new step in the expansion of the network of CNG and LNG stations for Drive Systems. The fact that the Flemish government is taking the initiative here to activate and make European funds available is particularly encouraging for smaller companies.
Port of Antwerp - 14 shore power cabinets
In this project, the Port of Antwerp installed new berths for inland vessels with shore power installations at the nature reserve "de Zouten". In total 14 shore power cabinets are available, each with 3 connection points that can be used simultaneously. The shore power cabinets are linked to a technical management system and a user platform, in this way skippers can log in and purchase and monitor shore power independently, without the help of third parties.
After a rather slow start, the shore power cabinets are now being used more and more, partly thanks to strict enforcement and reports from the local government. To date, a consumption of +/- 117 MWh has been registered. The implementation of a new user platform for shore power installations, in collaboration with De Vlaamse Waterweg, North Sea Port and a number of Dutch ports, should further increase ease of use and consumption.
The Benefic subsidy made it possible to more than double the existing shore power infrastructure (from 13 to 27 shore power cabinets for inland shipping) and thus significantly increase the available waiting places for inland shipping in the Port of Antwerp.

South Indian super star Rajnikanth, who is taking rest presently in Singapore, even though he is keen on to start Rana as early as possible. He is making calls to all the cast and crew of Rana and asking about the updates on Rana project.
He is in regular touch with the movie director K.S Ravikumar and lyricist Vaira Muthu to know about the updates on movie pre production works.
Now the latest news is that Rajinikanth called Deepika Padukone and asked to adjust the call sheets for Rana, which is going to start in September. Normally if movie gets delayed, the actors and actresses are unable to adjust their call sheets due to their prior commitments. But, Deepika Padukone assured to adjust the call sheets for Rana movie, because the movie delayed due to the Rajnikanth's health.
So soon Rajni is coming back to India with good health and as soon as he comes the movie will go on to sets.

I've been pondering this idea for a while now, and I'm not sure if I'm reaching the right conclusion:
According the the theory of relativity, nothing exceeds the speed of light. According to special relativity, any object can consider itself at rest. Say we have two objects approaching each other in a vacuum, each with a velocity of 99.9% the speed of light. At the instant they pass each other, either one of the objects can claim to be at rest, which would make the other object appear to be moving at 199.8% the speed of light (99.9% + 99.9%).
My question is this: Is this even possible? Reality is to the eye of the beholder, and in a vacuum either object could correctly claim to be at rest. If this is true, then the other object is exceeding light speed, which is supposed to be impossible.
One way I saw around this problem is the time dilation at moving at such a speed. Would the dilation reduce the apparent relative speeds to the observers so that, to one another, they don't appear to be approaching so fast?
Curious about this scenario, I wanted to find the apparent dilation between these two objects. If one of the observers claimed to be at rest, what would the passage of time for the other object appear to be? Using
Delta t = "proper time"
Delta t prime = time measured by the other observer
v = relative velocity
c = speed of light
I came up with an undefined number, specifically 1/sq. root of -2.992
Again, I don't know what to make of this. This scenario seems plausible, but the ramifications don't. There would be an undefined apparent time dilation and one object would appear to exceed the speed of light, even though claiming to be at rest is legitimate under special relativity. Is the scenario flawed? Light always moves at the same speed regardless of how it's observed, but these are objects with mass. Ideas / points are most welcome.
EDIT: Maybe the problem is my concept of speed. I pointed out each has a speed of 99.9% the speed of light, but I didn't specify in relation to what. Perhaps it would be better explained as each object approaching a third object exactly between them at 99.9% the speed of light. With that clarification, though, I don't think it changes any of the fundamentals of the problem.

A stunningly sleek five-door crossover utility vehicle flashing edgy arched fenders and a massive split-wing grille glides smoothly through compound chicanes on Beach Drive, which winds through the leafy canyon of Rock Creek Park in the heart of Washington, D.C.
Actually, this redesigned Lincoln MKX CUV romps through the park, a new six-pack engine lighting a fire on the humongous 245/50R20 tires mounted on chrome-coated alloy wheels.
The big tires dance independently over Rock Creek Park rippled pavement as the vehicle's unibody chassis, forged with an extra wide 65-inch track and wheelbase length of 111 inches, maintains a flat stance through so many bends in the two-lane park road.
And in the cockpit one driver strapped securely to a contoured bucket seat maintains a firm grip on the leather-wrapped steering wheel while plying a shift-it-yourself automatic transmission.
We're encased in a luxurious five-seat mobile environment, all leather and metal and high-tech electronic gizmos to help us move safety along the parkway pavement as well as keep in touch with the outside world via voice-activated controls over in-car phones, media players and the on-board navigation system.
This Rock Creek Park excursion occurs in Lincoln's 2011 MKX, a mid-size CUV revamped with new powertrain, revised chassis and suspension, fresh sheetmetal styling outside and a reworked cabin that drips luxury goods and way-cool electronic hardware.
The original MKX popped up in Lincoln's 2007 line. Initially, it offered one thrifty-fuel V6 engine tied to a six-speed automatic transaxle with standard front-wheel-drive (FWD) or optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) traction.
A deluxe Limited Edition package showed up on 2009 MKX models, along with Lincoln Sync which brought voice-activated control over in-vehicle phones, media players and USB storage devices.
For 2011, however, the MKX scores a makeover inside and out with that bold body sculpting, reworked suspension and stronger brakes, forceful new engine with sophisticated valvetrain technology, and the five-seat passenger compartment redesigned and fitted with improved materials wrought with fine craftsmanship.
Lincoln still offers the option of FWD or AWD traction.
Each version of MKX uses a monocoque structure which unites chassis and body into one cohesive unit that remains extremely rigid when set to motion.
The fully independent suspension -- MacPherson struts and an isolated subframe up front and a four-link design in back also with isolating subframe and monotube shocks for precise suspension tuning -- produces car-like smooth ride sensations as well as excellent behavior in a curve set.
Our dynamic driving tests indicate that the MKX can take a hard line through chicanes and hold it, with little concession from a tall body to lateral forces of physics.
Brakes on MKX consist of a disc at every wheel with linkage to an anti-lock brake system (ABS) plus the AdvanceTrac electronic stability control device with Roll Stability Control (RSC), which measures vehicle motion on both the yaw and roll axes.
New brake-related features on 2011 MKX issues include Hill Start Assist (HSA) to check rollback on inclines, Trailer Sway Control (TSC) to help stabilize a tow rig, and Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) to apply more braking force during emergency stops.
And Lincoln packs aboard a load of safety gear.
The strong unibody structure serves as a first line of defense for passengers, surrounded by a safety cage rigged with force-deflecting energy management zones fore and aft plus reinforced side panels and doors.
Front riders have dual two-stage frontal air bags plus seatbelts with load-limiting retractors and buckle pretensioners, while in the rear there are anchors to tether a child's safety seat. Side-impact air bags mounted on outboard front seats and curtain-style air bags concealed in headliners above side windows front/back are also on tap.
Other safety tools extend to integrated blind spot mirrors and the MyKey programmable vehicle key to encourage safer vehicle operation from teenaged drivers by limiting the top speed to 80 mph, preventing deactivation of the vehicle's traction control system and capping the volume level on the audio system.
The 2011 MKX draws a new high-performance V6 engine with vastly more power.
The aluminum six-pack displaces 3.7 liters and has DOHC (dual overhead cams) and performance-enhancing Ti-VVT (twin independent variable camshaft timing) technology to deliver 305 hp at 6500 rpm and torque of 280 lb-ft at 4000 rpm.
A six-speed electronic automatic transmission with SelectShift manual controls works with the new V6.
This powertrain achieves EPA fuel economy scores of 19 mpg for city driving and 26 mpg on the highway for FWD versions and 18/23 mpg (city/highway) with AWD.
MKX's optional AWD equipment -- the Control Trac system from Ford paired with a traction control system (TCS) -- also relates to safety, as the mechanism has an automatic mode that monitors grip for all wheels and can selectively distribute traction front-to-rear as well as side-to-side even before wheel slippage occurs in order to maintain a constant tire bite on wet and slippery pavement.
In the spacious cabin are new leather-trimmed seats with standard tuxedo stripe and aluminum streaks on doors and center console. Optional wood trim -- Olive Ash or Walnut Swirl -- apply to steering wheel, dash and doors.
New equipment packages dress up the MKX for 2011.
* The Premium package brings 18-inch alloy wheels, adaptive xenon headlamps, power tilting/telescoping steering column, a rear-view camera, rain-sensing wipers, premium leather on seats with contrast piping, heated second-row seats and illuminated scuff plates.
* The Elite package installs 20-inch chrome wheels, Panoramic Vista Roof, voice-activated navigation system, Sirius Travel Link and a 14-speaker premium audio system.
* The Limited Edition package nets 20-inch polished wheels, aluminum interior trim and bronze metallic leather seats with black and charcoal trim.
MyLincoln Touch, a new optional electronic control that enhances Lincoln Sync, adds two five-way thumb switches on the steering wheel, two LED screens in the instrument cluster and a larger LED panel at the center dash, all to run climate and audio systems, plus phone and navigation gear.
MSRP figures for the 2011 Lincoln MKX begin at $39,415.

When Jesse Yang first saw his Rottweiler puppy, he thought the tan mark on his chest looked like the medals that pilots are given when they earn their wings.
"I decided to call him Pilot because he already had his wings," Jesse said.
In keeping with the theme, Jesse taught Pilot, now five months old and thirty-eight pounds, commands using the lingo from the movie Top Gun. For example, Pilot knows to bark when he hears the word "bogey"—an unidentified aircraft in fighter-pilot speak. If Jesse tells Pilot someone is "friendly," the dog will lick them.
Pilot also "tumbles" instead of rolling over, since he is a fighter pilot, to both the left and the right. He can also climb, fetch, and bow.
At just two months old, Pilot became one of Doggedly Devoted's first clients. He hadn't had all of his vaccinations yet and had to be isolated from the other dogs, though he got plenty of human attention.
Now his days at Doggedly Devoted are more action-packed as he wrestles, romps, and plays tug of war with both big and little dogs.
At home, his favorite thing is getting his belly scratched. And eating. Jesse's mom says Pilot takes after Jesse in his enormous appetite.
Pilot has one fear—carts. Shopping carts, ice cream carts, anything with wheels except cars. When he sees them "he goes in between my legs," Jesse said. He is trying to teach Pilot not to be afraid.
"He's supposed to be brave," Jesse said.
Pilot earns his name, and another Top Gun reference, in one other respect, Jesse said.
"My friends thought he was a really good wingman when we went on walks."

Grand Canyon helicopter crash: Experts say crowded airspace is 'a recipe for disaster'
A day after a tour flight crashed in the Grand Canyon, killing three people and injuring four others, Helicopter Alley was silent.
Air tours over the Grand Canyon were suspended Sunday as investigators tried to determine the cause of the crash. The quiet was rare in an area that normally rattles under the sound of hundreds of helicopters a day.
Demand for flights over the Grand Canyon has spiked in recent years, transforming empty airspace into a travel destination. Thousands of helicopters now fly over the Canyon each year, all competing for business and the same limited space.
"Everybody wants to see the same thing," said Gary C. Robb, a Kansas City attorney who specializes in helicopter-crash litigation. "It is a recipe for disaster."
Closely regulated flights
The constant pulse of engines over the West Rim led one visitor to dub the stretch "Hurricane Alley." It also turned up the volume on a decades-long debate over conservation, federal oversight and helicopter safety.
The Federal Aviation Administration wants to more closely regulate tour flights. Tourism companies want to make more money. Conservationists want to keep the Canyon clean and quiet. Tribal leaders want to maintain control of their land and their economies. And tourists just want to fly.
"You've got these agencies that are suspicious of each other," Dick Hingson, who spent years working on the issue with the Sierra Club, told The Arizona Republic in September. "That's going to drag it out."
Grand Canyon helicopter crash: Rescuers endured 'extreme and hostile conditions'
Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters involved in 3 other deadly incidents in 20 years
Grand Canyon flights have deadly history
Three dead, 4 injured in Papillon Airways helicopter crash in Grand Canyon
Long history of disasters
The Grand Canyon has a long history of air disasters. A 1956 mid-air collision there killed 128 people and led to the birth of the FAA. Two sightseeing aircraft crashed and killed five people in 1986. A daredevil pilot nicknamed "Kamikaze," known for dipping in and out of the Canyon on tours, killed himself and six passengers when he crashed in 2003.
Papillon Airways, which operated Saturday's fatal flight, has been investigated after at least three other fatal crashes in the last 20 years.
As the industry grew and accidents piled up, the FAA tried to limit the danger. It barred flights from dipping below the Canyon rim and mandated a 500-foot buffer zone between aircraft and any obstacles.
Restrictions don't go far enough
But Robb and other critics argue the restrictions don't go far enough. They argue that packed flight schedules often leave little time for routine maintenance and inspections, and tour-flight companies don't pay enough to attract top-tier pilots.
A report from the National Transportation Safety Board noted the pilot in a 2001 crash had once chased thrills to entertain his passengers.
The Canyon walls also create flight conditions unlike anywhere else in the U.S. Twisted edges and jagged cliffs sometimes send gusts of wind cutting in unexpected patterns. Rough terrain on the canyon rim can make emergency maneuvers difficult to pull off. Even minor mishaps can turn a helicopter into a mid-air phone booth, with nowhere to go but down.
"The machine and the pilot are put through a lot," said Michael Slack, another attorney with experience in helicopter-crash cases. "They're not that strictly regulated."
On Sunday evening, with flights at the Canyon still grounded, Papillon Airways wasn't accepting reservations for Monday flights. A booking agent said the company had canceled all flights for that day.
Reservations were available for Tuesday.

How To Copy Your WordPress Blog To Your Localhost
This how to tutorial will explain how to copy your WordPress blog from your webserver to your home pc and run it on your localhost. First we'll talk about what I'm using because your situation might be different. Then, we'll talk about a couple things that you should already know how to do that are prerequisite.
The goal of this tutorial is to be hacker proof by knowing how to back your blog up to your home pc. There are other conveniences of being able to 'run' your blog from your localhost too, like being able to tinker with it. This is conceptually no different than backing up files at home to an external hard drive. After you've done this a number of times, the whole process should only take you 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of your blog. Once you have this process under your belt, you can screw around with PHP and CSS to try different things out with no fear. If you get hacked you won't care either because you'll be backed up. This is a good procedure to add to your knowledge tool box.

Jimmy Page Week Day 2 – JPJ Is Not Forgotten
Jimmy Page week rolls on today on the Jenna James Corner.
I caught some heat yesterday for not mentioning that it was John Paul Jones' 65th birthday. I dedicated this week as Jimmy Page Week seeing as how I have the whole week to dedicate to Jimmy. My apologies. That being said, please accept this as my amend before I move on to Jimmy.
John Paul Jones is an immensely talented musician, producer, arranger and composer, not only writing songs for Led Zeppelin, but also taking on the roles of bass, keyboard, steel guitar, mandolin, etc. within the band and also influencing several great bass players including Gene Simmons and Geddy Lee. John has a new band now that you should really check out called Them Crooked Vultures.
Now, on with the countdown.
In 1952, Jimmy's family moved in to a house where he found a guitar. No one seemed to know why it was there, and in 1956 at the age of 12, he picked it up and taught himself to play it. One year later in 1957, Jimmy and some of his mates played two songs on the Huw Wheldon Show. Keep an eye on the lad in the dark sweater on the left.

What, from the technological and economic points of view, has been the worst problem faced by poor countries? The brain drain.
What has been their worst problem in patriotic and educational terms? Talent theft.
In poor countries, local newspapers and honest individuals who are interested in sports begin to ask themselves why they must endure the theft of their nation's talented athletes, after the many sacrifices and investments it took to train them.
They gave a detailed account of how the shameful business of purchasing and selling boxers works. I quote their statements below, in the order they reached me:
Castro's accusations reached Muller-Michaelis through DPA, which, in an article today published by Cuban newspapers, confirmed the desertions of two-time world and Olympic champion Guillermo Rigondeaux and world champion Erislandy Lara, members of Cuba's delegation at the Pan-American Games held in Rio de Janeiro.
Hamburg, July 25 (DPA) – The two Cuban boxers who deserted during this year's Pan-American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Guillermo Rigondeaux and Erislandy Lara, turned to mediators to come into contact with the German promotional agency Arena Box Promotions, according to declarations for a Berlin newspaper made by Turkish German promoter Ahmet Oner, president of the company.
In the brief declarations he offered the newspaper, Oner claims it was the boxers who separated themselves from their country's delegation and sought contact with his company, and not the other way around, as was insinuated in a number of Cuban media.
In view of this, Oner, who is not currently in Germany but vacationing somewhere in Southern Europe, said that he decided to send emissaries to South America to try and contact Rigondeaux and Lara, offering no further details.
Oner's declarations were confirmed in

Fidel, naturally, is angry, but he has no reason to be surprised. His boxers do not want to be amateurs their entire lives, they want to make money, Oner declared for the paper.
Fidel wants to hide his formidable boxers from the world. I show them to the world, the young, 34-year-old promoter underscored.
Twenty-six-year-old Rigondeaux is extraordinarily talented. Between 1999 and 2003, the two-time bantamweight Olympic champion won 142 consecutive fights.
Oner told Morgenpost that, Castro's anger vis-à-vis the
"German mafia" notwithstanding, he wants to do business with the Cuban
president. I will suggest to him organizing a boxing evening in

We are winding down to the last few days of Ramadan. The last ten nights are said to be the most abundant in blessings, so naturally we should all strive to make the most out of them. If you feel that this Ramadan has slipped away, do not trick yourself into losing hope or stop trying to gain that state of bliss – it's never too late! Here are some simple tips to help you to embrace the beauty of these last few days of Ramadan:
Worship all 10 nights
Try your best to go to the masjid, and even if you are unable to, for whatever reason, don't lose hope and don't feel bad! You can still 100% worship at home. If you feel like you are unable to worship every night, then try to aim for the odd nights. Laylat Al Qadr (the Night of Power) will be on any of the odd nights of Ramadan, and you don't want to miss out! Focus in your salah the best that you can, stay in sujood for a longer period of time, talk to Allah (SWT), be grateful to Him, and make dua.
Give charity every night
Whether it's donating money, clothes, food, or even just simply smiling and saying a kind word to someone, strive to be conscious of giving back in any way you can.
Make a list of duas to make
Sometimes writing out your thoughts can be super helpful in giving you a clear insight into who you are. Allah (SWT) has blessed us with so many duas for so many different occasions. Researching duas is great; Sujood.co is such an amazing site that allows you to easily search for the exact dua that fits any emotion you have. Remember, you can also make dua from your heart and just talk to Allah (SWT). Keep your loved ones, those who are struggling, and the ummah in your duas as well. Never underestimate the power of dua and always remember that Allah is near.
Pray two extra rakats every night
Make an effort to pray extra rakat at night. The benefit that follows with it is something that nothing else can replace.
Surat Al- Ikhlas
Although Surat Al-Ikhlas is one of the shorter Surahs, its benefits and message are powerful. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) told his companions, "Gather, because I am going to read you a third of the Quran." (Abu Huraya RA). After they gathered Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recited, "Say: He is God, the One!" – Quran, Surah Ikhlas, 112:1. The Arabic root of the word ikhlas means, sincerity or purity. This concept is a running theme throughout the Quran as we are constantly being reminded to attain this state of sincerity in our faith, and genuinely believing that Allah (SWT) is One and nothing should be worshipped, except Him.
Keep your heart pure
If you find yourself having bad thoughts, make dua to Allah and recite any Surah (preferably Surah Al-Fatiha, Surah Al-Falaq, Surah An-Nas, or Surah Al-Ikhlas). If you've had a falling out with someone, sincerely forgive them in your heart. Remember, Surah Baqarah tells us, "Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury." (2:263). Be conscious of your actions and keep your intentions pure in whatever you do. You will find your soul becoming lighter in return, insha'Allah.
Keep your motivation up
Even if you feel like this Ramadan went by too quickly and you haven't done enough, it's not too late! Focus on these last few days and nights. Allah (SWT) wants to forgive you and during the last few nights He is the most merciful. Push through and turn back to your Rabb.
You don't have to stay up all night for your worship to count
A lot of people feel like you have to stay up all night and worship throughout the night but Allah (SWT) knows what's in your heart and if you are trying then that is enough. All of your efforts and all of your worship counts.
Memorize duas for forgiveness
Allah (SWT) could forgive you for any gesture of yours that he likes. Remember to make dua for forgiveness in these last nights of Ramadan. This website has great duas for forgiveness that are short and simple.
Eat light
Eat light so that you are not constantly worried about breaking your wudu and you can focus on your ibadah (worship). But also remember to hydrate so you don't feel hungry and are awake and focused!
Remember that any of the odds nights can be Laylat Al Qadr so in these final days give it your all! Ramadan is still in our grasp, and even when it leaves us, we should still strive to strengthen our faith in every way.

Jonathan Lethem on America, Robert Mitchum, and Very Bad Interviews
In Jonathan Lethem's newest novel—touted as his first detective novel since 1999's Motherless Brooklyn—a young woman named Phoebe Siegler abandons her metropolitan media career to go on the hunt for a friend's daughter in the Wild West. She enlists the help of Charles Heist, the feral detective himself. The two become embroiled in a conflict between two warring factions called the Bears and the Rabbits, and Phoebe must reckon with her frustrations over Donald Trump's impending inauguration and her burgeoning feelings for Heist.
On Monday, November 12, Lethem will headline the third evening of Inprint's 2018–2019 Margarett Root Brown Reading Series with Gary Shteyngart. We caught up with Lethem to talk about hologram Robert Mitchum, audiobook narrators, and election mania before he visits Houston.
Charles Heist seems like the sort of character that Joan Didion would've profiled back in her Slouching Towards Bethlehem days.
(Laughs.) I love that!
He's so that type of person, and at one point Phoebe actually name-checks Didion, which made me happy. What inspired Charles Heist?
Oh boy. There's layers and layers of references that I could cite. One baseline condition is that I've always been interested in the image of the feral child and ferality as an idea. It's really specific, but also really elastic and strange because it encompasses superheroic figures like Tarzan and Mowgli, as well as victimized children who are kept in closets and denied the experience of language or social culture.
I've also made no secret of the fact that I'm into cowboys in a kind of embarrassing way. I like large westerns, I like John Wayne—but I also find him horrible at the same time. I grew up on the East Coast, and for a long time, that was just an archetype or an image: John Wayne striding through Monument Valley, this craggy, hairy man in open space. What did that mean? What was that all about? As I got older, I realized that this was an allegorical figure that was saying something about the idea of America, about freedom and the frontier and what it meant to seize control of this land and "civilize" it. And it was often men of violence and men of genocide that were "civilizing" it, making it what we see today.
Heist comes out of this thinking about the West, and the cowboy, and that image: the hardboiled detective as a cowboy or knight in the urban frontier. And then again, he's like a joke. A joke about the Marlboro Man, or Clint Eastwood. There's a joke early on where Phoebe lays eyes on him and is like, "Finally I see what Meryl might've seen in Clint. It never made sense to me before." But I think that Heist is kind of a cipher—the book is puzzling over him. Phoebe is trying to figure out what she feels about him, and she's doing that work on behalf of the reader and behalf of myself.
The book is set during a very specific period of time—Phoebe feels unmoored by Donald Trump's election and his inauguration. Was the setting something you had in mind from the get-go, or something that developed over time?
I was just going to write the book in a more or less timeless present. I didn't have any interest in anchoring it to cultural events when I was conceiving it. And then the election came along and just sort of kicked me sideways, like it did to so many of us. My way of coping was to just throw it into the book and see what that looked like. I was afraid that nothing would make sense anymore. So I decided to just set the book during the time period when I was writing, to set it during the inauguration and see what happens.
It works for Phoebe as a motivation. You understand why she's spiraling out so much, and then it's funny when she gets caught up in current events when she's in a stressful moment. Like when she's in the middle of all the violent drama halfway through the book and yells at everyone and says, "DID YOU F***ERS EVEN VOTE?"
(Laughs.) Yeah. In a way, the book was accidentally about that stuff even before it happened. I was thinking about this condition of going off the grid and the idea that the American reality was unbearable, and that you would look for an exit door. The whole thing about Phoebe asking people who they voted for—she's actually asking people who don't consider that a very urgent question. They might not even be aware that there was an election. For her, that's stunning to consider. The search for another frontier hiding inside the American desert, another place to reinvent society—that desire isn't born in a vacuum. It's born out of a sense that we've exhausted the present American reality.
I saw before I started reading the book that Zosia Mamet narrates the audiobook version, and it was so easy for me to picture her as Phoebe while I read. Did you get any say in picking the audiobook narrator?
There's an interesting backstory. Because Edward Norton is filming Motherless Brooklyn and my publisher wanted to associate the two books and because I have access to Norton, they were like, "Will you ask him to do it?" And I thought that would be pretty great. So we tried, but Norton is editing the movie right now and is deep in the editorial suite every day for 10 hours, and he just couldn't do it by when they needed it to be done. So then my publisher asked what our fallback position was, and I said it should really be a woman. We started throwing names around, and Zosia's name came into it really quickly. I thought that would be incredible, and she would be fantastic. And she gratified our fantasy on that. It was just very lucky.
I was just picturing Shoshanna from Girls going on a bender, and it was great. Thinking along those same lines, who could be a great Charles Heist?
I'm bad at this game because I'm so engaged with old movies. I always think of dead people instead of viable actors who are the right age. Robert Mitchum? I'd love to see Robert Mitchum at the age he was when he did Night of the Hunter as Heist. But who would be him now? Who do you have?
I kind of felt like it should be a British actor doing an American accent, but I also really like the idea of it being hologram Robert Mitchum.
That would be good! It probably should be some really genteel actor who's getting roughed up—that would be kind of fun, seeing someone do the guttural thing. The other way to go is someone who could do a semi-autistic He-Man who's good to look at. There's a part of the character in which he can't really talk. I keep coming up with a steady stream of people who I'm sure the people in the Hollywood casting game would say, "He would've been good 20 years ago." I've lost his name—but the dude who plays Strider in Lord of the Rings.
Viggo Mortensen! Yeah.
Viggo Mortensen! He would've been good. He's got that little scar on his face. He would be perfect. I'm sure a Hollywood casting agent would be like, "You're too late for Viggo Mortensen." They'd want someone younger.
Phoebe says that part of her job at NPR was "prepping the one-sheets that made interviewers sound like they'd read books they hadn't read," which made me laugh.
Yeah… (Laughs.) You get interviewed enough, and you know the difference. And a lot of radio hosts are very, very good at what they do. But they do it at a rate that pretty much ensures that they're going to be working from a tip sheet.
So after reading that, my question was: What's the worst interview you've ever had about one of your books?
Well, I'll tell a story that's sort of unfair because it involves translation problems. One of the interesting things that happens on book tour is that you go to Europe and find yourself answerable for American reality. So you're asked big questions about the president, current events, and it leads you into some strange situations.
I happened to be in Italy on tour very shortly after 9/11. It was intense. Everyone was feeling for New York and America in a very different way. I lived through 9/11 in relatively intimate proximity. It was something I was talking about quite a bit. There was a live radio interview, and you're always nervous about going live on the radio in another country, because what if there are translation issues? But the people who were getting me set up said the host was a superstar, and her English was great—there'd be no need for simultaneous translation or interpretation. She would ask me questions in English, and I'd answer, and they'd take it from there.
So I relaxed and the red light blinked, and the woman's first question was, and this is verbatim, "What did you wear on 9/11?" And I froze! She wants to know what I was wearing on 9/11? I don't know! And there was this dead air. And then she heard herself and caught her mistake and said, "Where were you on 9/11?" (Laughs.) I came really close to trying to describe what I was wearing on 9/11 live on Italian radio. That was the worst moment.

An Unnofficial History Ch. 03
Ben Esra telefonda seni bosaltmami ister misin?
Telefon Numaram: 00237 8000 92 32
Thanks again to all who have read the other two. This one is a bit different- it was definitely a hard one to write (if only because it was such a tricky situation) but I hope it came out ok. This is the last appearance that Sarah is going to make for a while at least, I moved to the city not long after this occurred. I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to write about next, but if anyone has a particular topic they might like to read about, chances are that I've got a story about it, so feel free to leave a comment or send me a message- I've found this whole thing to be quite therapeutic.
Bu anyway, the story. Something that I've never really told anyone, but after reading half the stuff that gets put up here, I'm happy enough to let it loose.
The week that followed our afternoon fun was particularly uneventful- work kept us both fairly busy which made I hard to find time for each other, let alone time alone. When the weekend arrived we were both looking forward to having an evening with friends and a night with each other, however it was not to be. When Sarah called me on Friday afternoon I assumed it was to get me to pick her up, but instead it was quite the opposite.
"How would you like to come over to here for dinner…?" Her voice had a distinct quiver of unconfidence.
"Is your mother out?"
Silence for a while.
"She says that I spend too much time with you so she wants me here for dinner."
"… And me?"
"Well, I said that I had plans with you and wouldn't cancel them unless you came here too."
"No thanks."
She exhaled angrily. "Please? Please. I'll die of boredom. If I don't do it then she'll just bitch and bitch until I die. Or she dies. She's just jealous I think."
The whole thing put me in a foul mood. Having plans spoiled is ok, but having them spoiled by Sarah's crazy mother Deborah was a different thing entirely. Deb had seldom been kind to me in the year I had known her, something that I had always seen as a result of being very protective of her daughter mixed with general man-hate. To look at, she was a completely unremarkable middle aged woman; to talk to, she was a somewhat reclusive woman who liked wine and hated everything she didn't like. The fact that we didn't get along was to me at least, simply unfortunate, however I couldn't stand the tension she often created in my relationship with Sarah.
Dinner was lamb chops in front of the television, Sarah and I sitting in the two seater with Deb in her recliner, legs tucked away under a blanket making the middle aged mother seem like a ninety year old grandmother.. We ate. We finished eating. We sat in silence. We watched primetime TV. After an appropriate waiting period, I made the suggestion that we leave- I had foolishly assumed that having satisfied my part of the bargain, I would be able to take my sexy prize and go home. Foolish.
Deborah went off. "You are just going to leave me?" She drilled holes in Sarah with her eyes. "You are NOT going to leave me. You are spending at least ONE night under this roof. You are my daughter!"
Etcetera etcetera. It shouldn't be any surprise what the end result was at any rate. Sarah begrudgingly accepted to stay when Deb begrudgingly accepted to let me stay as well.
We went to bed early- as early as possible really. It was either bed or watching some documentary about meerkats. As we settled into bed, we could hear the muffled voice of David Attenborough through the wall and see the soft glow of the television sneak under the door- Sarah's room joined directly on to the lounge room, her bed against the dividing wall.
Deb had, in my imagination at least, resolved to stay up as late as possible in an attempt to deter any 'inappropriate behavior' on the part of her twenty year old daughter. Unfortunately for her daughter and I, it was working- the last thing I wanted to do was unleash a weeks worth of sexual frustration with her 15 feet away watching the circle of life unfold on the African savannah. Better she was on the African savannah herself, I thought- see how her humourless face and bitchy attitude dealt with a pack of hyenas.
We lay in the dark, waiting. Our hands strayed, accompanied by kisses and whispers until eventually we had given up waiting. She crawled down the bed until she found my hard cock, begging for attention. At first she watched it closely as she stroked it- as if to gauge how it felt in her hands, but soon my shaft was slowly sliding between her lips. She sucked me slowly for a while, with no rush or urgency, her mouth lulling me into a sensual relaxation that seemed to last forever.
Eventually though, she changed her tack. Gaining speed, she went from her slow and deliberate to hungry cocksucking. My cock was much too big for her to take it all, but the length she could manage was more than enough to make me groan from her work. She looked up at me with impish eyes, knowing full well that I was attempting to be as quiet as possible; amsterdam shemale she tried her hardest to make me moan. She sucked hard and as deep as she could, and whatever didn't fit in her mouth she squeezed in her elegant hands. I couldn't let it go unanswered. Reaching down, I got hold of her leg and swung her around- her mouth still worked my cock but now her clean shaven cunt was within reach. She quickly caught on and threw her leg over me, her pussy waiting to be pleasured, her clit swollen as if to demand attention.
But it wasn't to last long. As soon as I started to lap at her engorged clit, she bucked and moaned like an animal. Forgetting the mission of secrecy and quiet, I latched my arms around her hips and held her fast and I sucked and licked at her pussy, with her cries only getting louder as I pleasured her more and more.
But her mother, not 15 feet away! I remembered and immediately held off, but she would have none of it. She pushed herself onto me, grinding and fucking my mouth until I licked her again. She moaned quietly, then loudly, then it got even worse.
"Fuck yeah…. Kiss me there, kiss my clit…."
I tried to voice my concern but didn't get far- between groans she gave her retort.
"If she isn't drunk and asleep, then she's asking for it…. Now give me a finger, get me ready for this massive thing"
I slid my index finger into her cunt- between her excitement and my moth it was well and truly drenched. Another moan, this time muffled by my cock as it slid slowly between her lips again. For a moment, that is how we stayed; her gorgeous ass right in front of me, tight wet pussy around my finger, her stomach and breasts pressed against my body and her pretty mouth slowly working my cock.
She broke the silence. "give me two…"
I slid my forefinger in to join the other…. But….
Silence? I whispered to Sarah. "she's gone to bed?"
"Maybe we scared her off. Fuck my pussy and give me that tongue back."
Of course, I complied.
"yeah, god that feels good. You lick me so well. I hope I suck you as well as you lick me…"
It was the most vocal Sarah had ever been during sex, and at the time I was enjoying it too much to ask myself why. I knew she enjoyed me talking to her immensely, and for the first time I got to experience it myself.
"You like me sucking your thick cock?"
"I do, I loved it since the first day you did it."
"Do you love it when I swallow your cum?" She started to push back hard, forcing my fingers deep inside her.
"I love flooding your mouth with cum and having you suck it down."
"FUCK I need your cock. I want it."
I waited for her to change positions, bring her head back up the bed and lay with me- instead she didn't move.
"I want to try something new…"
She kept her legs either side of me and simply moved herself down until her pussy was over my cock. Sitting up, she reached down and guided my hard cock to her dripping sex and pushed herself down until it sank inside her. It was too much for me, finally experiencing her tight pussy, trying out a previously untried position and getting to watch her pussy and ass from a fantastic viewpoint all combining to make me snarl.
"You like it? It feels good for me…" She started to grind back and forth. "Feels very good for meeeee….. You like the view too?"
"Uh huh" There was still too much pleasure to be had for me to be of any use.
"What can you see? Can you see your big cock sliding into me? Can you see my ass?"
I didn't say anything, I just roughly grabbed her perfectly shaped ass and pushed and pulled her as she continued to grind into me. It sent her even further, her hands grabbing at my thighs to keep her upright while she fucked me even harder, her moans becoming louder with every thrust.
We fucked like this for god knows how long, she came at least once, maybe twice and kept going. I watched her ass as she moved and felt the cum build up inside me.
"You like my ass, don't you. I want you to touch me again." She reached back, grabbed one of my hands and pulled it until I brought it to her mouth. Then, after sucking it in her mouth slowly and sensuously, she let it go and leaned forward. Before I could give it to her though, she reconsidered.
"No, wait…."
I was disappointed, but tried not to let it show.
"Watch me fuck my ass with it while I take your massive cock. I know you like to watch."
I watched that beautiful long finger delve into her tight hole, then once again, I felt it inside her as it gave that unmistakable pressure on my cock. I expected her to start slow, but I was wrong- she immediately fucked both me and herself with gusto.
"You know, I masturbated like this…. Every day… I love it… I love fucking my ass. I love the feeling…… you HEAR that? I love to… Fuck my… Asss…. And I love. This .Cock… FUCK ME….."
In the back of my mind, what she was saying was a little rotterdam shemale strange. Of course I could hear her, but I was too engulfed in pleasure to care.
"That's it, that's IT!" She bucked and screamed and squealed, her tight cunt squeezed and twitched and her hand that rested on my thigh dug its nails into my skin. Then in one movement, she slid her finger out of her ass, my cock out of my pussy and rested her head on the bed, completely spent.
I gave her some time to recover, but as I lay in the dark, I noticed something.
The faint glow of a TV screen creeping under the door.
Sarah had noticed it too, because when I went to whisper it to her, I could see her eyes fixed on it. Did this mean she had fallen asleep on the couch? I HOPED it meant she had fallen asleep on the couch. In the quiet, I heard breath from the next room- She must be asleep, breathing heavy, much to my relief. I opened my mouth to speak to Sarah regarding what she planned to do about my now close to bursting cock, but was cut off by
"THE BITCH!" She whispered the words but they still carried all the emotion of if they were screamed at full volume. I was confused. Very confused. Sarah jumped up, got a sarong from her dresser and left the room, wrapping the sarong around her lithe, sweaty body as she opened the door. I resigned myself to confusion and did what any normal man would do in that situation, I slowly and lazily masturbated.
I heard the kitchen tap run and assumed it was Sarah getting a drink or washing her hands, then heard the sound come back on the television.
"Oh mum, I thought you mustn't have liked the sound?"
"Because, well you had it turned off, so you mustn't have liked what you heard…. On the TV I mean."
Deb was indignant. "You don't need sound to watch TV. I just like watching it sometimes, this show is interesting…"
"Well I heard some strange noises and wondered what was going on."
Deb's voice cracked and quavered. Like many bombastic people I've met before and since, she couldn't lie to save her life. "It was the TV…. I was asleep…"
"Which was it?"
"YOU heard noises??? I heard much worse. Missy!"
"You did! And you fingered yourself to it, you sick bitch!"
Silence again. I had stopped mid stroke, wondering what the fuck was going on and how I would get out alive.
"I did not…." Deb's voice was quiet. "You disgusting little girl. Shame on you for thinking such disgusting thoughts! And the things you said in there! No mother should ever have to-"
"Oh shut up, you did. You masturbated to me getting fucked. You sat out here and waited, then you gave yourself a treat. Didn't you!"
"I wanted to watch the TV."
"With no sound."
"I wanted to make sure you two didn't get up to any disgusting things in there!"
"And then we did. And you banged on the wall and told us to stop." Sarah paused for a while, then spoke again; this time her voice was softer. "Did you finish? Did we give you enough material? We mustn't have… "
I heard cloth hit carpet, then saw Sarah standing at the doorway minus her sarong.
"Come here"
She leant down, wrapped her fingers around my cock and slowly lead me off the bed.
"Come on, this way. I'm going to finish you off. Don't you want me to make you cum?" She had an almost painful grip and was still leading me towards the door.
"Here is fine, here. Here will do…"
"Here will not do…" she spoke like a cat purrs. "Here is no good at all." She was still reeling me in, coaxing me into a very bizarre position- naked and smelling of sex in front of her mother. I could see the lounges now, one more step and I would be at the threshold of the room. I half expected and half hoped that Deborah would scream or cry or just plain leave, but nothing happened. I took the step, completely lost and confused and found myself basked in the glow of late night TV and watched with an extra set of wide eyes.
"Hmmm…." Sarah said as she sank to her knees. "He's gone a little soft. I want you to be impressed by it- I'll give it a little suck."
I didn't know where to look, so I stared at the ceiling as she licked up and down my shaft. It was a bizarre place to be, very uncomfortable but completely accepting of what was happening. I really felt that I could do nothing about it.
"There you go, nice and hard now. Don't get too excited though, I know you like to cum in my mouth but I want something different. She needs to see it, and if I swallow it all then she'll miss out." Sarah led me to the middle of the room, between the TV and the couch and sat down on one of the ottomans that made up the generic furniture store lounge suite that Deborah had recently bought. The way she was seated was so casual- elbows resting on knees, leaning lazily forward, despite the fact she was an arm's length away from her mother. Her pale, perfect skin glowed in the dim light and despite her somewhat blog shemale ridiculous position she was extremely arousing. Her eyes drew me over to her, and I eventually stood directly in front of Sarah, the two of us facing each other in front on Deborah, still sitting under her blanket in silence.
Sarah began to stroke my cock in front of her face, just as she had done at the start of the night. "I love it, it pleases me so well… It was hard to take at first, but now it makes me cum over and over again. Have you had one this big?" Deborah may have nodded or shook her head and I wouldn't have known. I was still looking at the ceiling.
"But you've got to look after it," she continued. "It made me come a lot tonight but it hasn't cum yet…." She sucked it a little between sentences. "So I've got to make it cum. You going to watch? You sort yourself out too, it's only fair. What do you want to see? Do you want to watch me suck him; have him spray all over my body? No, you want to watch me too, don't you… you want to see your daughter get fucked."
She moved the ottoman forward a little, then knelt down in front of me and rested her elbows on it, presenting her pussy to me. She had positioned herself so that our hips would meet right in front of her mother's gaze, giving Deborah an uninhibited view of the proceedings. For the first time I gathered the strength to look at Deb and saw her eyes taking in Sarah's body, then My cock, then Sarah again. I could see the slight movement underneath her blanket and assumed that she had well and truly given in.
Sarah reached back between her legs and beckoned for my cock. "You ARE a sick bitch, already working yourself up over our bodies. I haven't even stuck his nice big cock in yet…. It should be nice and easy, I'm still all relaxed and dripping from before."
And it was. I sank into her easily, filling that glorious cunt up once more and forgetting all doubts and reservations to the point that I allowed a moan to escape my lips- a moan that was joined by two others.
"That's it, we are all relaxed now…. Give me that big cock, fuck me. Show this sick bitch how you fuck me."
Grabbing her hips, I started to pound her. My hips slapped against her ass as she took every inch that I had, forcing grunts and moans out of her with every stroke. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Deborah respond as well, any attempts on her part to hide her efforts abandoned. She had two hands working furiously under her blanket, her eyes going on a steady patrol from her daughter's head to my toes.
"Better than listening through the wall, isn't it…" Sarah's voice came through strained and broken between strokes, until looking her mother in the eyes she slowed it down to a steady, languid pace. "I used to think you were jealous of him for spending time with me, but now I know you are jealous of both of us. Of me for getting him, and him for getting me…. You wish you had that cock, don't you. You wish you had it to enjoy, and you wish you had it to own, so you could have this sweet little pussy…"
It was crazy. Even in my sex crazed state I knew she was saying…. Bad… things… I freaked out a little on the inside, but Deborah's reaction was very much external.
"Fuuuu…. Ohhhh…" she moaned, the first major sound she had made since I had entered the room. She worked herself so hard the sound of her fingers fucking her cunt was audible, the unmistakable squelch of a wet hole being filled coinciding with her now obvious hand movements. Sarah responded in kind by resuming her now trademarked move of fucking back onto my cock with hungry necessity.
"Watch me. Watch your daughter get filled and fucked. You sick bitch. You want to fuck this big cock and you want to fuck me too. Fuck your daughter. You like my body, you sick bitch? Watch my breasts, watch my little tits bounce when he fucks me. I know you got implants, you didn't like your breasts, but he doesn't mind them. Do you baby?"
It was so wrong. She was so wrong, but it was sexy as hell. My conscience had been well and truly silenced the moment I heard Deborah fucking herself as hard as she now was.
"I love your breasts…"
"You do. At first I was scared you wouldn't, but now I know you love them. You know what we did the other week, mother? I squashed my little tits together and rubbed them all over that beast of a cock…" Deborah was really moaning loud now. "… and when he started oozing from excitement, I rubbed it all over my chest. You watch those little tits bounce you disgusting bitch."
I'd never met this girl before, but I loved fucking her. This went way beyond the surprise I had felt any of the other times our sex had gone somewhere I didn't expect. I was well and truly close now, lucky that I had held on this long. Luckily, I could feel her cunt constrict me and I knew she wasn't far off herself.
"Watch those little fuuuuuck…. Fuuucking… tits… Fuck yeah… You are close, aren't you baby, I can feel your cock throb in me. I want you to flood me, but only after Mummy says it's ok… It's her house after all, she's the one in charge of us, aren't you you sick perverted bi bitch. You tell us when you are ready for him to fill me up. Fucking…. Tell… Fuck…"

While growing up, I was fortunate to have values around education, hard work and perseverance instilled in me by my mother. As part of our WoMen March Initiative, I would like to celebrate the personal lessons in leadership that I learned from her.
Very few people within my mother's extended family finished high school and none of them went to university. She, however, had a passion for learning and held a lifelong belief that we can better ourselves and our situation in life through learning. Against all odds, she finished high school, went to university and graduated with a degree in Pharmacy. She was also the only woman in her class at university. Upon graduation, she opened a pharmacy in Beirut in the early 1970s and co-managed it with my dad for 39 years until she passed away five years ago.
Through her experience, she instilled in me a passion to learn and taught me invaluable lessons in leadership.
Personal Lesson in Leadership #1: Learning is a lifelong journey
- Good leaders continuously strive to better themselves through learning.
- Good leaders seek to learn from all people around them and all situations they encounter.
- Good leaders stay humble in their learning, as pride could make us impervious to learning.
Personal Lesson in Leadership #2: Live Above the Line
Ownership – Accountability -Responsibility
Blame – Excuses -Denial
This second lesson is about growing a keen sense of responsibility. Whatever we do, no matter how great or small our role is, having an attitude of "the buck stops with me" always makes such a profound difference.
Whether in my work or my personal life, I naturally face difficult situations; sometimes it's a project that I don't like, sometimes it's being posted in a location that is not great, often it's having to deal with a really difficult situation. Whatever that situation is, I try to keep the following in mind:
- This situation is temporary and would eventually go away.
- How can I seek feedback from my colleagues and what can I learn from it? Can I enhance my negotiation skills? Can I build more resilience when dealing with difficult people? Can I become better at influencing people? Can I become better at multi-tasking? Etc
- Whatever this situation is, am I taking fully ownership of it? Am I taking responsibility or am I dropping the ball? Am I spreading blame or does the buck stop with me?
The lessons can be endless, as long as we keep on looking for them.

Motorola selects Qt/Embedded for the A760 Linux smartphoneOct 31, 2003 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — 4 views
Trolltech has announced that Motorola's much anticipated A760 smartphone will be based on Trolltech's Qt/Embedded application development framework. However, the device will not make use of Trolltech's Qtopia Phone Edition, which Trolltech has pre-released to select customers but not yet formally shipped.
The Motorola A760, launched in Asia Aug. 22, 2003, is not yet available in the U.S. It runs MontaVista Linux, and it integrates mobile phone technology with a digital camera, video player, MP3 player, speakerphone, advanced messaging, instant Internet access, and Bluetooth wireless technology.
The A760 is the first handset from Motorola that will use the Linux operating system, but the company has said it will make Linux a cornerstone of its software strategy for mobile devices. Such an endorsement — from a leader in the mobile phone market with total annual sales of 22.7 billion in 2002 — lends Linux credibility in a smartphone market thus far dominated by Symbian and Microsoft.
"Motorola's commitment underscores Linux as a viable operating system for mobile phones," said Mike Sudol, Vice President and General Manager for Motorola's GSM Products in Asia Pacific. "The combination of Linux and Trolltech's technology provides a flexible and customizable operating environment."
Haavard Nord, CEO and co-founder of Trolltech, says, "Motorola is at the forefront of smartphone technology, and we are excited to be a part of this development."
"We are also excited for the Linux community," adds Eirik Chambe-Eng, President and co-founder of Trolltech."
Trolltech hopes Motorola's choice of Qt/Embedded for the A760 will open the way for a vibrant third party developer community. There are already thousands of existing mobile applications created for Qt/Embedded, all of which can be ported to the A760, the company claims.
Qt/Embedded and Trolltech's Qtopia mobile application stack are used in several mobile Linux devices and PDAs, including Sharp's popular Zaurus line. Several Internet communities are dedicated to developing, sharing, and selling Qt/Embedded and Qtopia based software, among them Zaurus Software Index, ZaurusZone, and pdaPointer.

Course Hero, "The Scarlet Letter Study Guide," July 28, 2016, accessed October 1, 2022, https://www.coursehero.com/lit/The-Scarlet-Letter/.
Course Hero's video study guide provides in-depth plot summary and analysis of Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter.
The Scarlet Letter takes place from 1642 to 1649 in Boston, Massachusetts. (The colonial dates have been established by scholars studying the work; they are not stated explicitly by Hawthorne.) At that time Boston was part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, a settlement controlled by the Puritans, a Protestant group. Far less tolerant than later Protestant leaders in Connecticut and Rhode Island, the Puritans established a repressive theocracy. Any sin against God's will (as that will is expressed in the Bible) was considered a crime against society. The crime of adultery was punishable by death because it violated the seventh commandment.
The first part of the novel, "The Custom-House," is set in 1850 in Salem, Massachusetts. A 30-page introduction to the romance, this section merges an autobiographical account of Hawthorne's ordeal as a customs inspector with the fiction of his finding a faded scrap of cloth in the shape of an A accompanied by a manuscript describing the origin of the fragment.
The first chapter, "The Prison-Door," establishes the time, 1642, and the setting, Boston, for the rest of the novel. It opens with a crowd of people in "sad-colored garments and gray, steeple-crowned hats" gathered around the city's grim prison. They await the emergence of Hester Prynne, a beautiful young woman who had arrived from England, ahead of her husband, a "misshapen scholar" devoted to the investigation of the human soul. In the opening scene, Hester emerges from the prison with a baby in her arms. She has been convicted of adultery: her punishment, thought too easy by some, includes a few months of incarceration followed by a public shaming on the scaffold at the "western extremity of the market-place ... nearly beneath the eaves of Boston's oldest church." Stitched to the bodice of her dress is an elaborately embroidered A. Although Hester has been sentenced to wear the scarlet letter as a constant and public reminder of her sin, all marvel at her artistic needlework and the lively design wrought in gold thread that seems to mock the austere habits of dress among the Puritans.
Hester appears on the scaffold with her infant daughter Pearl—proof of her illicit affair—clutched to her breast. Many of the onlookers, put off by her flaunted beauty and dignity, demand to know the identity of her lover. She refuses, her misery heightened when she recognizes among the crowd her long-lost husband. She also suffers at that moment the demands of her minister, Arthur Dimmesdale, who begs her to reveal the name of her "fellow-sinner and fellow-sufferer." Hester refuses and returns to prison.
Her husband joins her there. A doctor, he provides medicine to calm both Hester and the baby, who is hysterical. Hester's husband has taken the name Roger Chillingworth to hide his identity so he can discover who her lover is and thus get his revenge. He extracts a promise from Hester not to expose him, a promise she makes but fears she will regret.
Released from prison, Hester supports herself and Pearl by making and selling beautiful needlework. Although she is free to go anywhere, Hester settles in a small home on the outskirts of town. Pearl is very disobedient, even wild. After a few years, Pearl's refusal to obey the strict Puritan rules becomes widely known and the authorities decide to remove the child from Hester's care. Hester begs Governor Bellingham not to take away her child. When Dimmesdale speaks up, Hester is allowed to keep her daughter.
Chillingworth, on his vengeful quest, moves in with Dimmesdale, claiming to help the minister recover his health. In reality Chillingworth is subtly torturing Dimmesdale, whom he suspects to have been Hester's lover.
One evening Hester, Pearl, and Dimmesdale meet on the scaffold where Hester had stood seven years before. Dimmesdale admits his guilt in not acknowledging his role in the affair, but he lacks courage to admit his guilt freely to the entire town. Hester is now beloved by the community for unselfishly helping everyone. The once despised A, a sign of sin, has come to be a welcome sight. Some say it now stands for able. Hester has become drab and plain; Dimmesdale has become shockingly frail and thin. Worried about Dimmesdale's decline, Hester convinces Chillingworth to release her from her promise to hide his identity. She, Dimmesdale, and Pearl meet in the forest. Hester tells Dimmesdale who Chillingworth really is, and they make plans to secretly leave for England.
Three days later on Election Day, Dimmesdale gives the greatest speech of his life. The people celebrate his saintliness, not realizing he is a sinner. To everyone's shock, he climbs on the scaffold and confesses his sin to the entire community. He rips off his shirt, baring his chest, and then dies in Hester's arms. In the final chapter, the narrator speculates on what Dimmesdale revealed on his chest: was it an A? Was there nothing at all? Chillingworth, having lost his reason for living, dies within months. He leaves all his money to Pearl, making her the richest heiress in the New World. Hester leaves Boston but then returns, remaining in her small house for the rest of her life. She is buried close to Dimmesdale, sharing with him a headstone carved with an A."

HOT: ICP vs. FBI
In one of those "I don't like what you do, but I'll fight to the death for your right to do it" moments, many Juggalo-haters had at least a slight change of heart when it was announced that Insane Clown Posse is considering suing the FBI. The real FBI. The clown-makeup-wearing "Rap" duo is arguing that it's discriminatory for the agency to target ICP fans as "gang members" simply because of the kind of music they like. We agree and support ICP wholeheartedly and ask that "Juggalos" be replaced with "Beliebers" on the FBI's National Gang Threat Assessment taskforce watchlist. (Walk up to one and say, "Justin looks like a 12-year-old girl," to see what I mean.)
WARM: NBC-Ya-Later
NBC took loads of crap for its prime-time Olympic broadcasts of non-live sporting events, showcasing competitions for which everyone with a TV, radio, computer, smartphone or Olympics-fanatical BFF already knew the results. But whichever NBC exec's 14-year-old niece edited the final cut of the network's Olympic closing ceremonies broadcast — largely a tribute to the music of the U.K. — was the games' biggest villain. Left in the broadcast: One Direction, Take That (not even with Robbie Williams), Jessie J (singing with anyone who'd let her), Kaiser Chiefs covering The Who and multiple Spice Girls songs. Left out: Elbow, Muse, a Kate Bush dance number, Ray Davies' gorgeous "Waterloo Sunset" and the grand finale — a medley by one of the U.K.'s biggest and most influential acts, The (actual) Who. NBC delayed The Who bit in favor of premiering its high-larious new sitcom, Marcus Monkeypants MD (or whatever it's called).
COLD: Amy Winehouse … for Heineken?
In a Heineken commercial recently premiered in the U.S., a slammin' Soul/Funk band is featured jamming in a speakeasy fronted by Amy Winehouse. Or at least that's what you'd think if you didn't look closely enough. The beer company hired Winehouse lookalike/soundalike Clairy Browne for the spot, one of the most tasteless since a reanimated Fred Astaire showed us how easy it was to use Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners. Nowhere down the chain of command did someone say, "Maybe reminding viewers of a beloved Pop singer who died a year ago from alcohol isn't the most tasteful way to sell our alcohol?"

I have a lot of civilian contractor clients working in the Middle East and African war zones. One just renewed his life insurance coverage another year and ran into an all too frequent problem. Working in a location devoid of printers or scanners, or in his case, ink, he couldn't sign the required form. All he needed to do to secure his AD&D and APTD insurance for another year was to send an email telling us so, making payment, and completing a single form.
If it had only been Accidental Death and Dismemberment we would have been fine, but renewing his Accidental Permanent Disability requires a good health statement to be signed. I called my underwriting representative with Lloyds of London and explained that this client didn't want the coverage to lapse but there was no way he was going to see ink in the next 10 days.
I got an email back from the underwriter within a few hours and they had created the form in an e-sign format so nothing needed to be printed, faxed or scanned. So now, from first contact when a client is already in a war zone, we can do an application, acceptance, payment authorization and everything it takes to renew it if they stay that long, with e-sign documents.
What a blessing!
War Zone Life Insurance Coverage Limits
Last year I had a client who was so far in the boonies of Afghanistan that he was not able to sign and return a form for two months. Fortunately, we were able to keep him covered with an exception from Lloyds while waiting, but now if we need it, we can get it about 20 seconds after the client opens the email with the link. Customer service is alive and well.
Keep in mind that in most situations, if a client in a dangerous area is concerned about dying from natural causes, we can write an additional policy to for natural causes only. Since these are one year contracts of insurance there probably aren't a lot of situations where this would come into play, but Lloyds used to offer a rider on their accidental death for sudden cardiac arrest, and they no longer offer it. So, if you had a heart attack induced by a loud noise it would no longer be covered as a death with NCO coverage.
Bottom Line
Whether you're stateside and need a quote on war zone insurance for a possible job, or you're in a forward operating base in the middle of a war, we can get you the price and the insurance in force within just a few days. If you have questions or need quotes or insurance, call or email me directly. My name is Ed Hinerman. Let's talk.
