Down the rabbit hole: how QAnon conspiracies thrive on Facebook
Guardian investigation finds more than 3m aggregate followers and members support QAnon on Facebook, and their numbers are growing

In early May, QAnon braced for a purge.
Facebook had removed a small subset five pages, six groups and 20 profiles of the community on the social network, and as word of the bans spread, followers of Q began preparing for a broader sweep.
Some groups changed their names, substituting 17 for Q (the 17th letter of the alphabet); others shared links to back-up accounts on alternative social media platforms with looser rules.
More than just another internet conspiracy theory, QAnon is a movement of people who interpret as a kind of gospel the online messages of an anonymous figure Q who claims knowledge of a secret cabal of powerful pedophiles and sex traffickers. Within the constructed reality of QAnon, Donald Trump is secretly waging a patriotic crusade against these deep state child abusers, and a Great Awakening that will reveal the truth is on the horizon.
Why we are addicted to conspiracy theories
QAnon evolved out of the baseless Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which posited that Hillary Clinton was running a child sex ring out of a Washington DC pizza restaurant, and has come to incorporate numerous strands of rightwing conspiracy mongering. Dedicated followers interpret Qs cryptic messages in a kind of digital scavenger hunt. Despite the fact that Qs prognostications have reliably failed to come true, followers rationalize the inaccuracies as part of a larger plan.
Qs initial commentary on the Facebook bans was concise: Information Warfare, Q posted on the website 8kun. Two days later, in a post that included a collage of dozens of news headlines about the takedowns, Q went further, speculating that there had been a coordinated media roll-out designed to instill fear in believers and dissuade them from discussing QAnon on social media. When do you expend ammunition?
Q wrote. For what purpose?
The anticipated purge never came. Instead, QAnon groups on Facebook have continued to grow at a considerable pace in the weeks following the takedown, with several adding more than 10,000 members over 30 days.
A Guardian investigation has documented:
- More than 100 Facebook pages, profiles, groups, and Instagram accounts with at least 1,000 followers or members each dedicated to QAnon.
- The largest of these have more than 150,000 followers or members.
- In total, the documented pages, groups and accounts count more than 3m aggregate followers and members, though there is likely significant overlap among these groups and accounts.
These groups and pages play a critical role in disseminating Qs messages to a broader audience and in recruiting more believers to the cult-like belief system, researchers say.
Facebook is a unique platform for recruitment and amplification, said Brian Friedberg, a senior researcher at the Harvard Shorenstein Centers Technology and Social Change Project who has been studying QAnon for years. I really do not think that QAnon as we know it today would have been able to happen without the affordances of Facebook.

Composite: Eric Pratt/The GuardianMoreover, Facebook is not merely providing a platform to QAnon groups. Its powerful algorithms are actively recommending them to users who may not otherwise have been exposed to them.
The Guardian did not initially go looking for QAnon content on Facebook. Instead, Facebooks algorithms recommended a QAnon group to a Guardian reporters account after it had joined pro-Trump, anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown Facebook groups.
The list of more than 100 QAnon groups and accounts was then generated by following Facebooks recommendation algorithms and using simple keyword searches. The Instagram accounts were discovered by searching for QAnon in the apps discovery page and then following Instagrams algorithmic recommendations.
Receiving QAnon recommendations from Facebook does not appear to be that uncommon. Once I started liking those pages and joining those groups, Facebook just started recommending more and more and more and more, to the point where I was afraid to like them all in case Facebook would flag me as a bot, said Friedberg. Erin Gallagher, a researcher who studies social media extremism, said she was also encouraged to join a QAnon group by Facebook, soon after joining an anti-lockdown group.
Facebooks own internal research in 2016 found that 64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendation tools, the Wall Street Journal reported, primarily through the same Groups you should join and Discover algorithms that promoted QAnon content to the Guardian. Our recommendation systems grow the problem, the internal research said.
I really do not think QAnon as we know it today would have been able to happen without the affordances of Facebook
Brian Friedberg
Facebook did not directly respond to questions from the Guardian about its policy considerations around QAnon content. Last month, we took down accounts, Groups, and Pages tied to this conspiracy theorist movement for violating our policies, a company spokesperson said in a statement.
We also remove Groups and Pages that violate other policies from recommendations and demote in search results. Were closely monitoring this activity and how our policies apply.
The company also claimed that all of the Pages and the vast majority of Groups documented by the Guardian had been removed from recommendation algorithms prior to the Guardians query. The company did not provide evidence for this claim, which is contradicted by screenshots of pages and groups appearing in recommendations that were taken in May.
The Guardian also continued to receive recommendations to join additional QAnon groups after its initial query to Facebook.
Asked about this discrepancy, Facebook said that the pages and groups in question had been marked as non-recommendable as of 8 April 2020 for violations of policies against clickbait, viral misinformation and hate speech, but that a page or group can be restored to eligibility for recommendations if its behavior improves for several months.
Over the course of reporting this article about one month the aggregate membership of the documented groups and pages grew from 2.75m to more than 3m, or approximately 8.5%. Groups and pages that the Guardian had documented to have been promoted through Facebooks recommendation algorithms grew 19.9%.
One page that appeared in recommendations We are Q saw its following grow nearly 60%, from about 24,000 to about 38,000 over the month despite the page not having posted any new content since February.
To Friedberg, the window for Facebook to act on QAnon may have already passed. Im starting to wonder if were just waiting for the next shoe to drop another act of violence, he said. That seems to be what the platforms wait for, and that in and of itself is terrifying.
A ban that stuck
While QAnon thrives on Facebook, another social media site took timely and decisive action against it. Nearly two years ago, Reddit, the link-sharing network of interest-based message boards, carried out a site-wide purge of QAnon and made it stick.
Reddit had been central to the development of the QAnon movement, which began in October 2017 with the emergence of Q on 4chan, the anarchic image board that has served as a launching pad for memes and internet culture but also racist extremism and harassment campaigns. Q, whose cryptic messages and predictions claimed to be based on a high-level government security clearance, quickly decamped from 4chan to the even more extreme 8chan, where believers could read Qs latest crumbs directly from the source.
Q went briefly silent in 2019 when 8chan was forced offline in the wake of the El Paso massacre, but re-emerged on the new site founded by 8chans owners, 8kun.
Anonymous internet posters claiming to be high-level government officials are not entirely uncommon; in recent years, other so-called anons have emerged with claims that they were revealing secrets from inside the FBI or CIA. But Q is the first such figure to have achieved such a broad audience and real-world political influence. This is largely due to the activism of three dedicated conspiracy theorists who latched on to Qs posts in the early days, according to an investigation by NBC News. These activists worked to develop a mythology and culture around QAnon and cultivated an audience for it on mainstream social media platforms.

Photograph: Rick Loomis/Getty ImagesReddit was significantly easier to use for the kind of crowd-sourced research and interpretation that forms the core of participation in QAnon, and the site was host to a large pool of potential recruits, such as the 1.2m members of the subreddit r/conspiracy. It had also long enjoyed and at times even earned a reputation as one of the danker cesspools of the social web, for years tolerating communities known as subreddits dedicated to sharing non-consensual sexualized images of women or advocating rape.
But the violent anger of adherents to QAnon crossed the line for Reddit in less than a year. On 12 September 2018, citing its ban on content that incites violence, disseminates personal information, or harasses, the company banned 18 QAnon subreddits, the largest of which had more than 70,000 members.
Social media bans are often difficult to maintain, but Reddits move was uncommonly effective. Today, QAnon remains unwelcome on Reddit, with the few subreddits that address it dedicated to either debunking the theory or providing support to people who have lost friends and family members to QAnon.
Taking the red pill
QAnon did not disappear after Reddit pulled the plug, however. Instead, its believers moved on to other platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, Discord and crucially Facebook. At the time of the Reddit ban, one of the largest closed Facebook groups dedicated to QAnon, Qanon Follow the White Rabbit had 51,000 members, according to NBC News. Today that group has grown to more than 90,000 members.
And while YouTube and Twitter have played an important role in providing a broadcast platform for QAnon content, the specific structures provided by Facebook are uniquely suited to the participatory work of engaging with QAnon. Facebook also provides QAnon with an even larger pool of potential recruits than Reddit could, especially for the somewhat older, Evangelical crowd that has proven susceptible to QAnons messaging.
Will Partin, a research analyst with Data & Society, and Alice Marwick, a professor of communication at the University of North Carolina, describe QAnon as a dark participatory culture, which is to say that it is a community that takes advantage of the infrastructure of social networking sites to bring disparate people together and foster discussion, collaboration, research and community, but directs those energies toward anti-democratic, regressive and even violent ends.
Everything about our research suggests that these people are not irrational; theyre hyper-literate, even if theyve come to beliefs that are empirically inaccurate , Partin said. Thats partly because they have a fundamentally different epistemology to judge what is true and false.

Photograph: Patrick T Fallon/ReutersThe digital architecture of Facebook groups is also particularly well-suited to QAnons collaborative construction of an alternative body of knowledge, Friedberg said. The platform has created a ready-made digital pathway from public pages to public groups to private groups and finally secret groups that mirrors the process of falling down the rabbit hole or taking the red pill.
You can mechanically take those steps, he said. Very few of the contemporary Q-following base actually need to engage with 8chan at all.
To ban or not to ban
While Facebook has policies banning hate speech, incitement to violence and other types of content that it considers undesirable on a family- and advertiser-friendly platform, QAnon does not fit neatly into any single category.
Much of what is shared in QAnon groups on Facebook is a mix of pro-Trump political speech and pro-Trump political misinformation. Memes, videos and posts are often bigoted and disconnected from reality, but not all that different from the content that is shared in non-QAnon, pro-Trump Facebook groups.
The pages and groups that were removed in early May violated the companys ban on coordinated inauthentic behavior ie the kind of digital astroturf tactics that Russian operatives used to support Trumps presidential campaign in 2016. Those rules are aimed at operations in which actors make false representations about their identities in order to mislead people a description that could encompass Q but Facebook only applies its policy to deceptive behavior that occurs on its platform, not on 8kun.
When a common sense of what is real and what is correct breaks apart, it becomes nearly impossible to reach a democratic consensus
Will Partin
To enact a blanket ban akin to Reddits under its current rubric of rules, Facebook would likely have to designate QAnon as a dangerous organization the category it uses to ban both terrorist and hate groups and any content published in support or praise of them. QAnon is hardly an organization, though as a movement it has certainly caused harm and could be considered dangerous.
There are innate societal and individual harms to convincing people of a version of reality that is simply false, as QAnon does, said Data & Society research analyst Will Partin. When a common sense of what is real and what is correct breaks apart, it becomes nearly impossible to reach a democratic consensus.
And QAnon followers enthusiasm for misinformation is not confined to politics; as the coronavirus pandemic took hold, the groups became a hotbed for medical misinformation something Facebook has claimed to be working hard to combat. Analyses by Gallagher, the social media researcher, and the New York Times demonstrated how QAnon groups fueled the viral spread of Plandemic, a 26-minute video chock full of dangerously false information about Covid-19 and vaccines.
Facebooks algorithms appear to have detected this synergy between the QAnon and anti-vaccine communities. Several QAnon groups are flagged with an automated warning label from Facebook that reads, This group discusses vaccines and encourages users to go to the website of the Centers for Disease Control for reliable information on health.
It appears that anti-vaccine propagandists are also taking notice, and attempting to capitalize. Larry Cook, the administrator of Stop Mandatory Vaccination, one of the largest anti-vaxx Facebook groups, has begun incorporating QAnon rhetoric into the medical misinformation he peddles, as well as making explicit invitations to QAnon believers to join his group.
Cook has begun referencing the deep state and stoking fear of forced vaccination and FEMA camps.
I have discussed the concept many, many, many times that vaccines destroy our connection to God and that we are in a spiritual war with Principalities of Darkness that have a death wish for our children, and humanity at large, he wrote in one QAnon-inflected post. (Cook also uses the site to aggressively promote his various products and a subscription-only platform for medical freedom patriots.)

For those individuals who truly believe in the QAnon narrative, the crimes of the cabal are so grievous as to make fighting them a moral imperative. Theyre talking about a group of people who are operating our government against our wishes and theyre molesting and torturing children and destroying our society, said Joseph Uscinski, a professor of political science who studies conspiracy theories. Its an incitement to violence.
Indeed, there have been numerous incidents of real-world violence linked to QAnon, and in May 2019, the FBI identified QAnon as a potential domestic terrorism threat in an intelligence bulletin. While anti-government conspiracy theories were not new, the bulletin stated, social media was allowing them to reach a larger audience, and the online narratives were determining the targets of harassment and violence for the small subset of individuals who crossed over into real-world action.
Despite this, Uscinski is skeptical of the idea that kicking QAnon off Facebook would help anyone. He regularly polls conspiracy theories and consistently finds that QAnon is one of the least believed things out there, well below belief in theories about Jeffrey Epsteins death, anti-vaccine hoaxes, and Holocaust denialism. Uscinski also cautions against overly exoticizing the QAnon narrative, noting that most of the component parts of QAnon have been around forever, with parallels in the Satanic Panic of the 1980s or the plot of Oliver Stones JFK. And hes concerned about the free speech implications of censorship by tech platforms.
Its a potentially dangerous belief; its very disconnected from reality; I dont really think we want more people getting into it, he said of QAnon. Do the internet companies bear some responsibility? Yes.
Would it be better if they took it down?
Probably. Does that take care of it? No.
Partin said that he generally favored Facebook taking a more aggressive approach to moderation, including addressing the recommendation algorithms and trying to reduce the spread of misinformation out of dedicated conspiracy communities and into the mainstream.
If Facebook flipped a switch and every Q post disappeared tomorrow, that probably would be harmful for QAnon, he said. But there is resiliency built in. Getting deplatformed is harmful, but the idea that it would somehow make this disappear is fanciful.
Friedberg worried that it may already be too late. Facebook should have taken action on this a long, long time ago, and the longer that they wait, the more deeply entrenched in mainstream politics this becomes, he said. Facebook has been reluctant to appear in any way biased against Republicans, and if (or when) QAnon reaches Congress, it will be even more politically difficult for Facebook to take a stand.
In May, Republican voters in Oregon nominated a QAnon believer to run for the US Senate in November. Another QAnon supporter, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is likely to be elected to the House of Representatives after she came first in a Republican primary in a conservative Georgia district on 11 June.
Republican QAnon conspiracy promoter picked to run for US Senate
In some ways, the second that Trump officially acknowledges QAnon is the second it becomes a partisan political issue that Facebook may not be able to take action against, said Friedberg. Were watching a normalization process of these conspiracies, and I think the beast that is Facebook was really the answer to this all along.
Indeed, Trump himself has repeatedly retweeted QAnon accounts on Twitter, which believers take as confirmation of their alternate reality. And on 20 June, just before Trumps campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Trumps adult son Eric posted a QAnon meme on his Instagram account. Eric Trump deleted the image relatively quickly, but not before screenshots spread across the Facebook Q-sphere.
So Eric Trump posted a pic with a Q in the imagery, an administrator of one of the larger QAnon groups wrote. The pic has been taken down but the message was received!

Detroit police chief 'appalled' by Rashida Tlaib's suggestion to only hire black facial recognition analysts
The congresswoman made the suggestion that the department should hire only back people as facial recognition analysts because "non-African Americans" think all black people look alike.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig, on Thursday, denounced Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's suggestion that the department should hire only back people as facial recognition analysts because "non-African Americans" think all black people look alike.
The Michigan Representative made the suggestion during a tour of the Detroit Police Department's Real-Time Crime Center on Monday. The department, at the center, uses facial recognition technology to locate suspects. Tlaib made the statement after Craig showed her how the software works, and how analysts use the technology to identify and locate suspects. Reports state that the department had extended an invitation for Tlaib to come and visit the center after she tweeted them, calling the technology "bull****."
Tlaib, after the visit, said: "Analysts need to be African-Americans, not people that are not. It's true, I think non-African-Americans think African-Americans all look the same!" The congresswoman made the statement citing instances where she witnessed people confuse Reps. John Lewis, D-Ga., and Elijah Cummings, D-Md. The Michigan Democrat also claimed that "the error rate among African-Americans, especially women," was 60 percent.
Shorty after Tlaib's statement, Craig, while appearing on Fox & Friends: First, refuted the congresswoman's claims, saying: "It's a software. It's biometrics. And, to put race in it ... we're talking about trained professionals. My staff goes through intense training with the FBI, and so they're not looking at race but it's measurements. We were appalled when she made this statement."
"We even put her in the seat of an analyst so she could understand how it works!" Craig exclaimed. "And, she was somewhat resistant. Not really interested. But, it was important for me to invite her in after she made her initial comments. So, at least she could learn something about how we use it and maybe have a great appreciation for it."
Reports state that when a reporter with The Detroit News followed up on Tlaib's claim, asking: "Are you saying white people are not qualified to--?" The congresswoman cut him off, saying: "No, I think there's actually been studies out that it's hard for, you know, like African-Americans would identify African-Americans, similar, Latino same thing."
The Detroit police chief, however, objected to the congresswoman's statement, saying if he had made the same statement, he would have been asked to resign.
"This is a double standard," Craig said. "If I had made the exact same comment, they would've been calling for my resignation and she would have been leading that charge. That's a fact. We know [there are] flaws in the technology. We've addressed that through the rigorous system that we have in place. So, we have a modeled approach on how we use this technology very effectively," he said.

Dear reader,
What a wonderful start to February! You have shown this week's writers and their contributions so much love, thank you.
To catch up on any pieces you may have missed:
This week's prompt was 'the shore'. I received a myriad of brilliant responses but here are the top three:
A Beach Memoir by Rachael Ikins
When we were two pearls
we lay across an oyster-tongue.
Juice filled us. Teeth bracketed
us, tender, our kernels.
We rode that tongue,
crusted shell, lavender world,
Sea spray, sun sheeted
sky mauve. Gull swooped, dove,
striated stripes blue, gray-veined,
and pearl, we plummeted
through storm-clouds
to break upon granite strand.
Laughter, the way of scavengers.
Empty shards, strewn pearls,
silent tongue. Story scribed
across sky, swooping black scratches,
disappearing ink. Explosion, epilogue.
Nobody to remember.
Submissions will close soon as there are only two spots remaining! See and follow the guidelines if you have a piece you would like considered for February.
Happy writing!

To a child, reality itself is magic, and magic is everywhere! Recurring themes are flying things that should not fly (whales, sheep, etc.), visions of deep space as if seen in a dream, and moments of surreal otherworldliness in a terrestrial setting. I have come to recognize it as coping with my own mental health issues, this desire to break the shackles of depression and soar, regardless of circumstances! Even my post-apocalyptic paintings have hope in them. A former scientific illustrator, I am constantly seeking the perfect balance between precise detail and hazy obscurity to better engage the imagination of the viewer.

|- The Birdwhisperer Project--https://www.facebook.com/birdwhisperer.project/ -- which I co-founded with Amanda Makepeace in 2016 is dedicated to spreading the love of birds and bird art and to encouraging personal stylistic development. Each month all participating artists create their own vision of the selected reference photo of that month's bird (all photos used are public domain or contributed with usage rights). The individual vision of each artist makes each piece unique and special. Artists of all media, ages and skill levels are welcome to participate. - Encounters With the Imaginary, vol. 3, is a project I am particularly proud to have participated in. Each artist doesn't just illustrate the stories, we write them as well! It is my first-ever short story. The books will be here soon! - I Dream of Space, a collection of my space art, is an ongoing project! Described by Toni Weisskopf as "romantic spaceships," I approach space art as if I am seeing the scenes in dreams, by building up the ships through layering accidental textures and illuminating the happy accidents I find within. Now that I have had the happy experience of Encounters vol.3, I am writing vignettes to go with each piece. - The Olde Fae card game from the Changeling Artist Collective is a project that comes straight from the heart. Each member was allowed to pick a thing from nature and illustrate a pair of fae based on that thing (one Seelie and the other Unseelie). I chose dandelions. I wanted to put an unexpected twist on the concept of Seelie and Unseelie, so I put in both paintings the seeds of their opposite Court. The Summer Dandelion is full of youth and beauty and exults in the summer sun, but in her there is also the haughty vanity of youth, an glint of cruelty in her eyes, and even the smiles of the young have a sinister, gobliny tinge. The Winter Dandelion, while an image evoking death and loss, is full of age and wisdom, and her face is lined with compassion. It alludes to everything I fear about growing old-- cataracts, loneliness, loss of mental faculties, thoughts and memories blowing away half-formed. But on the other hand, we know of dandelions that those puffs that blow away in the wind hold the seeds of future generations, so it is with hope she faces her fate, tinged with sadness, but also with dignity. (I told my model to think of watching her babies go away to college, and her expression made me cry!) It was difficult to paint, but also a pleasure. - I recently completed an artist residency program in the Westfjords of Iceland during the summer of 2019, and I am currently working on some pieces inspired by that experience, to be shown as part of a group show at the Light Grey Art Lab Gallery in 2020.

Health care reform is dominating the news cycle once again, just as it did during the early years of the Obama administration. And while the policies outlined by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the proposed American Health Care Act are vastly different, public reactions and news coverage of the health care plans bear striking similarities.
Like the Republican-proposed American Health Care Act (AHCA), the President Obama-backed Affordable Care Act (ACA) saw highly-publicized opposition from both sides of the aisle. In 2009, "Blue Dog" Democrats posed a threat to the ACA, as they feared the financial burden of government-sponsored health care was far too great. And now, eight years later, Republicans are facing the same intra-party opposition. The effects of Republican resistance on the final vote remain unclear, but similar to the "Blue Dog" Democrats' disapproval in 2009, the combination of uncertainty and mass news coverage have created a health care mania throughout the country.
The challenges to the AHCA do not stop at intra-party opposition, as public protests against the bill continue across the United Sates. Thousands protested the Republican plan to "repeal" the ACA last week, as the Congressional Budget Office released a report that estimated nearly 22 million Americans would lose coverage under the new health care plan. Democrats, too, saw large public protests against their proposed health care plan in 2010. In both cases, the organization of mass protests was heavily covered and discussed by the press, thus fueling the media fire surrounding health care.
Social media and traditional media helped contribute a major player in the health care debate, the term "Obamacare." This term, originally coined by critics of President Obama, has come to carry a negative connotation. Calling for a repeal of "Obamacare" and its negative implications, Republicans have garnered some public support for their bill, yet seemingly not enough support in Congress. And using the unfavorable feelings associated with "Obamacare," the Democrats and some media sources have begun calling the AHCA, "Trumpcare." While both "Obamacare" and "Trumpcare" are colloquial labels for their respective health care bills, the implication of those terms has aided the strong resistance, or support, of the pending health care bill.
News coverage of the proposed health care bill is likely to intensify as Senate Republican leaders continue to make changes to the AHCA and lobby for inter-party support as they hope to bring a bill to vote in the near future.
Stay tuned…

Hunter Franchesca Esplin went viral in February when an animal conservation group, Prairie Protection Colorado, caught wind of photos she had posted to her Facebook page of her hunting and posing with a dead mountain lion. But after the uproar, Esplin spoke to INSIDER to tell her side of the story and actually admitted that her and her family ate the lion also.
Explaining her decision, she said that she feels better feeding her family with meat she has hunted which is organic, with no hormones or antibiotics added. Effectively, Esplin defends her decision by saying it is more ethical and less harmful to the animals.
"Any hunting we do throughout seasons is for meat for our family. We can't afford to always go to the store and buy steaks. At least I know that the meat I get from hunting hasn't been injected with steroids, hormones, and all that nasty junk."
She even goes on to explain how the mountain lion meat tasted, stating it is "a little stronger than pork but is a lean white meat." Personally, I'm not sold.
For all those that say she is cruel to have hunted the beautiful creature, she says she is helping wildlife management in regulating predators which is a part of conservationism.
Even if this is true, the issue with the saga centres around the photos and video glorifying the act of killing. But what do you think – is she more ethical eating the kill also?

The duo of Jeremie Frimpong and Nir Bitton could make their return for Celtic against Aberdeen on Sunday, the Daily Record reports.
The pair have been out of action for the Hoops since January. However, the good news, as reported by the Daily Record, is that Frimpong is 'expected' to be in the squad for the trip to Pittodrie, and Bitton should also be available.
However, according to the report the game has come too soon for Hatem Abd Elhamed, who is also making his way back to full fitness.
Boost to have duo available
What a boost it will be for Neil Lennon's side to have Frimpong and Bitton back in the squad.
The Hoops have coped admirably in the duo's absence, but you always want your best players available.
The timing of the reported return is a real bonus too, as Celtic are less than a week away from a return to European competition against Copenhagen in the last 32 of the Europa League.
It will be interesting to see if either player gets game time against Aberdeen, or if they are only fit enough to make the bench.
Subscribe to 67 Hail Hail TV now
You don't want to gamble with a player's fitness when they are just returning from injury, and Neil Lennon will be well aware of that.
Could get run out if Hoops are in control
Maybe if Celtic are in control of the game, Lennon will decide to give Frimpong or Bitton a run out for the last 20 minutes, for example.
Even if that doesn't turn out to be the case, it will still be good news for Celtic if the pair can make the match day squad for the trip to Pittodrie.
That will show that they have overcame their injuries, and are available for selection as and when the manager sees fit.

Borewell Pumps
A Borewell pump is a device that is a multistage centrifugal pump that operates in a vertical position. There are liquids that are accelerated by the impeller. They lose their kinetic energy in the diffuser where an alteration of kinetic to pressure energy occurs. This is the highest working appliance of outward and assorted flow pumps.

The pumping channel is linked to the gas centrifuge or the armament by a motorized link at the extremity of the force. Fluids go in the pump through an opening screen and are raised by the pump phases. Other portions comprise of the radial bearings and are circulated along the span of the channel providing radial sustenance to the pump tube.
A thrust behavior takes up a share of the axial powers arising in the pump but the maximum of those powers are immersed by the guard's thrust behavior. There are furthermore screw-type bore-well pumps, there is a steel bolt which is utilized as a working component in them. The screw lets the pump to function in water with a tall sand content and other automatic contaminations.
Advantages of Borewell pump
- The Bore-well pumps are often used in the oil production industries so that they can provide an efficient form of an artificial lift. The pumps can be used as a product that is specialized to be used in extremely hard conditions.
- The cable that is required for this pump has to be extremely strong and reliable. Bore-well pumps cable can be utilized in both salt and freshwater. It is furthermore suitable for unswerving burial and within well moldings. A bore-well pump cable's part of the connection is materially obstructive.
- Bore-well pumps are used in man applications. These used in sewage pumping, drainage, slurry pumping as well as general industrial pumping. These are also popularly used as pond filters. Bore-well pumps are also often used for commercial, residential, municipal an0064 well as industrial industries.
- Multiple stage bore-well pumps are characteristically dropped down a borehole and most naturally used for municipal, commercial, residential, and industrial water withdrawal (notion), oil wells and in water wells.
- Some of the other needs for bore-well pumps include seawater handling, sewage treatment plants, water well, firefighting (since it is flame retardant cable), and deep well drilling, artificial lifts, offshore drilling rigs, irrigation systems, and mine dewatering.
- One of the many advantages of using Bore-well pumps is the design in which it is built. It has a tightly contained unit and has water gaskets and seals that prevent the liquid from affecting the other internal components.
Other than that, the way it pumps the water is also very advantageous. It uses direct pressure from the pipes so that it can get the fluid out. This method has proven to be more effective than the suction system as it covers more systems. The pump here is placed inside the fluid and thus helps in pumping out the fluid more effectively.
These pumps are far more effective as it is placed inside the liquid and makes sure that it covers more distance.

text: 'Hesburgh': Film Review 1:04 PM PDT 5/2/2019 by John DeFore FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of OPC Media Publicity So heavy on the praise it might make some suspicious. TWITTER 5/3/2019 Patrick Creadon's doc tours through the long career of one of the most famous Catholics in American history. Toward the end of his career, Catholic priest Ted Hesburgh was asked if, assuming he could do only one, he would choose being a man of the cloth or the President of the United States. He chose the former, and judging from Patrick Creadon's Hesburgh, it's no surprise: He would have had much less impact as a mere president. A portrait of a clearly remarkable man whose counsel was sought by popes, presidents, students and advice columnists, the documentary is stuffed with both history and praise — so much of the latter that the picture sounds sometimes like hagiography. Only on one occasion does Creadon find anything his subject did that might have been a misstep; even there (when dealing with 1960s student protests), his motives were pure. Serving as a profile in courage whose hero was widely loved, it doesn't necessarily convince those of us who don't know the man that we needed to see a doc about him. More than most who believe they were called to the priesthood, Theodore Hesburgh reportedly knew he was right — from the age of 6 or so, according to the narration based on Hesburgh's copious writings and speeches. When World War II broke out, he "desperately" wanted to serve as a Navy chaplain. But talent-spotting superiors said no, and sent him into academia, eventually making him president of the University of Notre Dame. He would hold the position for 35 years, but would also hold an awful lot of other positions concurrently through the years. From the start, the film depicts Hesburgh as savvy about friend-making, consensus-building and fund-raising. He made big changes at Notre Dame, enlisting captains of industry to fund new buildings and higher salaries, but he didn't get his way by being a yes man. He said no to the Vatican itself when he was ordered to censor a book on religious liberty by John Courtney Murray. He would still go on to be a close friend of a pontiff, Pope Paul VI. In the 1950s, his reputation spread beyond Catholic circles. President Dwight D. Eisenhower put him on a national science board as a "moral voice," which led to a role easing tensions between U.S./U.S.S.R. reps in later atomic-weapon negotiations. But the film suggests he found his true calling when he was appointed to the federal Civil Rights Commission. Here is where, as Creadon tells it, the people skills really paid off: When, after years of gathering evidence and enduring attacks from racists like George Wallace, the commission found itself unable to produce a report, Hesburgh organized a lakeside retreat and contrived to get opponents stuck in fishing boats together alone for hours. The Northerners and Southerners on the Commission may have had their differences, the joke went, but "we were all fishermen." The report got written. The doc's most engaging moments follow the Civil Rights struggle from that point onward, as Hesburgh was disappointed by some leaders (John F. Kennedy), surprised by others (Lyndon B. Johnson) and risked upsetting the status quo by aligning himself with one (Martin Luther King Jr.) whose status as a national hero was far from assured at the time. And then there was Richard M. Nixon, who thought he could use the priest to his advantage, only to find Hesburgh ready to criticize his quasi-ally in public. Interviewees including Ted Koppel, Nancy Pelosi and Leon Panetta sing Hesburgh's praises, while less famous colleagues or mentees shed more light on how he made things happen — and how, surprisingly, he did his globe-trotting work while also being accessible to Notre Dame students whenever he was there. Koppel believes he was characterized by "a fundamental belief in the redeemability of mankind." Some would say the jury's out on that issue, but near-unanimous love and admiration suggests Hesburgh's stance was a great way to win friends and influence people.

Yup, sounds like a hardware problem.
Have you tried different brands of media first though? :-)
I believe I had this problem quite a while ago on one of my LiteOn drives in Windose, and can't remember whether different Media helped.
My 2 year old Macbook Pro will no longer burn DVDs even though it is a superdrive. I get an error saying:
"The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
CDs burn fine. I thought maybe it was software related and waited till I upgraded to Leopard and had a fresh install of the OS but no luck. Sounds like it hardware related but though I might ask someone much more smarter than me? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Most people don't know this, but there are actually two pairs of lasers in a DVD-writer, one for CD media, the other for DVD media. One laser in each pair is for reading, one is for writing. The read lasers in each pair run between 3 and 5 mW, the CD write laser runs at 80 to 180 mW, the DVD write laser from 100 to 250 mW. The faster you burn a disc, the more power the write laser requires.
Where the problem lies in modern DVD writers is that the focus lenses are no longer made of glass, but of plastic, and the more power the write laser pushes through them, the faster the plastic lens degrades due to heat build-up. The writer's electronics are self-adapting to a point, and will increase power as the plastic starts to fog, but eventially even at maximum power output the lens is too far degraded to get an accurate write.
This problem has become more commonplace in the last three years as DVD writer speeds have increased, along with the fact that build quality has declined, with optical drives becoming virtually a consumable.
I can only assume that the posters who have had this power error problem pop up have been burning a lot of DVDs at maximum (x16) speed.
if you want your DVD burner to last the distance, do not burn at the media or the drive's maximum capability.
This is very helpful post... but I'm using my Superdrive for the first time -- trying to burn a dual layer DVD. The computer's a year old, but I'm getting this error message. I'm using Memorex DVD+R DL. Any other ideas for me?
I had this problem on my GF's MacBook 2.0 - trying to burn CDs from iTunes gave the error, as well as burning DVDs from Toast. Turns out the Superdrive had come off its internal mounting along with a few other issues related to the integrity of the laptop casing. It was repaired under warranty even though they tried to claim drop damage. Fought them for 3 months and they did it all under warranty.
My macbook has been having this problem too. The thing is, it went in for a new keyboard and new hd only a few months ago. Shouldn't compnow have picked up all problems? Or is it a case of not knowing there is a problem until you burn a disk? For the record I don't burn that many dvds. I went through about 5 last night though that had to keep getting chucked. One thing I have noticed is the drive speeds up and the fan sounds louder just before there is an error. And it;s always at a different part of the burn. I got as far as 2/3rds of the way through without an error for one disk.
Anyway, back to the shop again I guess. I'm glad I have applecare. I have had: my keyboard and trackpad replaced twice, my power brick replaced, and a new hard drive. Worth the $300.
I am getting "burn errors" when trying to burn a Dual Layer TDK +R disk. It is happening at the 50% mark both in Toast and Disk Utility.
I am using a 15 MBP (unibody)...No problems with a CD or a DVD.
Any suggestions on what media is successful? I will try the Verbatim tomorrow...
Verbatims are the testing 'reference standard' disc for most burner manufacturers.
If you're getting a failure part-way through the burn, it means the write laser is thermalling out. Faster speed burns need more power into the laser, which heats things up quicker.
As I said in the older post in this thread, try and do a burn at a slow speed, never at maximum.
Thanks Brains..
Used a Verbatim +R DL disc and burned at "2" times speed which was successful.
Both myself and my housemate are having this issue aswell... is it possible it was brought on by a recent software upgrade or something... it seems to be around a lot ot the moment
There was a superdrive firmware update a couple of months ago. I've not heard of it causing problems, though it did resolve a few.
I have had the same problem with Mac Mini's and Macbook Pro, after about 18 months to 2 years they just pack it in. Work fine for reading but the burning just starts to fail more and more regularly.
I always burn slow, always use the same burning methods and always use the same media.. then they will just stop working. Have found many others who have experienced it on the Macbook's too. At one stage I was convinced it was media so I bought 4 or 5 brands of blanks (+ and -) and every single time I still got the calibration error. Also convinced it's not software as I tried multiple burning packages in OSX and the Macbook Pro was dual booted into Linux and just spat out coasters.
You can get a replacement drive on eBay fairly cheaply but it's just as easy to go and buy an external USB burner (Lacie etc.) and chuck it in the laptop bag. Since switching to an external USB burner I haven't had a single problem... but the fact you need to use 2 USB ports for the power requirements of the external drive makes it a little annoying.
Have read a few theories too, mainly around either lens degradation over time or just that the lens gets dirty, which goes towards explaining why higher speed burns start to fail first and why lowering the speed works for some people (I am sure you will be back reporting more problems in future!)
This site has some interesting info and experiences with a failing drive / cleaning the lense
How to clean the lens of a slot-loading optical drive (a MacBook Pro's SuperDrive) | monline
I am yet to try the credit card + iPhone cleaning cloth mentioned in the comments but it looks to be a quick fix that has worked for quite a few people.
He finds that he gets about 20 months of use before it needs a clean which matches up to the time period that I find they start to fail.

I was able to solve this problem simply enough by getting a can of compressed air with a tube, and sticking it in the drive slot and blowing out all of the dust.
That being said, I must say I am disappointed in apple's customer support.
And I am no Win fanboy, so don't go there. My First computer was an Apple ][, and I actually was lucky enough to be asked my Bill Merrill @ Beacon Micro Center in Ames IA to come to work for him as a tech support person in 1982.
I have since had a love/hate relationship with apple, and although both me and my parents own a fair amount of stock in aapl, and I have a MBP, I must say, it's trending on the side of hate more than love.
1>The os is convoluted to say the least.
2>The company's desire to have a choke-hold on it's customers in the name of "stability" is a joke.
3>The fact that a company of this size charges $100 bucks extra for "apple care" for a 2K computer, then is only available only from 9AM to 9PM instead of 24/7 is unfathomable.
I'm sorry, I'm sure I'll get ripped a good one, but that's how I truly feel, as a very long term user of many os'es.
