Christopher Lawrence was working at a gravel-crushing site near Drumheller, Alta., this month when he became entangled in a conveyor belt and was killed. He is one of dozens of workers who will be fatally injured on an Alberta job site this year, but dying two days shy of his 16th birthday, he will likely be the youngest.
"He wanted to experience the world," his grandmother, Doreen Mardian, said in an interview from her home in Red Deer.
Christopher's death on July 19 is prompting questions about Alberta labour laws that allow children as young as 15 to work on any job site – including not just retail stores or fast-food restaurants, but heavy construction sites, mines and oil and gas operations.
Story continues below advertisement
While Alberta businesses grapple with what they say is a worker shortageand scramble for any and all available hands, labour advocates fear the province's strong economy, heavy industrial base and permissive labour laws will push inexperienced teenagers into more physical, risky types of work without strong government oversight.
"We know there's great opportunity," said Siobhan Vipond, secretary treasurer for the Alberta Federation of Labour.
"But what rules do we have in place to ensure these kids come back at the end of the day?"
Alberta's laws for young people stand apart from other provinces. Adolescents between the ages of 12 and 14 are allowed to work in offices and restaurant kitchens, provided they follow certain rules that restrict their hours, and keep them from serving liquor or using slicers and deep fryers. Other provinces such as Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan don't allow teens to do some of the most labour-intensive work – such as construction or mining – until they are at least 16. But Alberta's rules allow teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17 to do almost any job, provided it is supervised and falls within a prescribed set of hours.
"Yes, Alberta is different. We allow it," said Brookes Merritt, a spokesman for the province's department of Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour.
Whether it's a question of experience, judgment or supervision, younger workers are more likely to be injured than older workers, according to the Alberta government's own figures. Unions say the province's labour laws are lax, and Ms. Vipond said targeted, unannounced inspections of industrial workplaces that hire 15- to 17-year-olds would help the situation. She said the government needs to move away from a complaints-based system because both teenagers and new Canadians – two categories of workers Alberta has in spades – are less likely to speak out about an unsafe work environment.
Mr. Merritt said the province puts much of the onus to provide a safe workplace and training for younger workers on employers. If they don't, prosecutions follow. He also noted that a major review of Alberta's employment standards code – last completed in 1988 – is expected this fall, and the government received significant input on the employment of young workers.

He said the government said it is targeting its inspections to higher-risk work sites, such as the residential roofing sector this year. Last year it targeted the mining industry – a category that includes the gravel business.
Ms. Mardian believes there should be supervision and clear safety provisions on job sites, but says it's a good thing to have young people in the world of work.
She said Christopher, who had been living in the small Alberta town of Innisfail, was a high-energy teenager who liked work more than he liked school. He wanted to be a heavy-duty mechanic, and Ms. Mardian said it was unclear whether he was going to return to his studies in the fall.
"As a family, we're very devastated," Ms. Mardian said. "But we do not want it to hinder other young people who want to get into construction, who want to try it out."
Darryl Wiebe, manager of Arjon Construction Ltd. – the gravel-processing company that had hired Christopher this summer – said in an interview that Christopher was working with four other workers, all more senior, at the time he was killed.
In a statement, Mr. Wiebe said the company is working to determine how Christopher got trapped, and how to prevent it from happening again.

"Our company has never before experienced a workplace accident of this kind, and we are shocked and saddened," he said.
"Christopher was a hard-working, motivated young man and we were all privileged to know him." | positive |

Around 3 million more children in the U.S. are living in poverty than at the beginning of the Great Recession — a worrying statistic that mutes much of the fanfare of the nation's economic turnaround, according to a report released Tuesday on child welfare.
Twenty-two percent of U.S. children were living in poverty in 2013 compared with 18 percent in 2008, according to the Kids Count Data Book, an annual report that ranks states by the well-being of their children. It equates to an increase of 2.9 million children, according to census data from those years.
Poverty rates have nearly doubled among African-Americans and American Indians since 2008, and hardship is most severe in the South and Southwest, the report found.
The report, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, defines children in poverty as those under the age of 18, living in families with annual incomes below $23,624. In all, some 16,087,000 children are deemed to be living in poverty in America.
Minnesota ranked as the best state for overall child well-being, based on indicators including economic standing, education and health. Mississippi ranked the worst.
The report, released Tuesday from the child advocacy group the Annie E. Casey Foundation, showed signs of slight improvement in some areas, including high school graduation rates being at an all-time high and a falling percentage of children without health insurance.
But the bright spots weren't enough to offset a picture that many children have failed to benefit from the nation's economic recovery.
"We have seen job growth across all sectors in the United States after the recession, but a lot of the jobs being created that we see are low-wage and don't necessarily support the basic needs of a family," Florencia Gutierrez, a Foundation senior research associate, told Al Jazeera. "Although the recovery has helped a lot of people and many feel we are back to pre-recession levels, we are seeing that the most vulnerable families have been left behind." | positive |
On Wednesday, Trump claimed that a congresswoman’s account of his phone call to Myeshia Johnson, a military widow, was fake news. He said that he had proof she was lying.
Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2017
Trump was responded to Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), who overheard Trump’s call with Myeshia Johnson and told reporters that Trump made insensitive comments to her, including telling her that her husband — Sgt. La David T. Johnson, a U.S. solider who was killed on October 4 in Niger — “knew what he was signing up for.”

During a White House briefing on Thursday, Chief of Staff John Kelly attacked Wilson for listening in on the call, despite the fact Johnson’s family invited her to do so.
But Kelly also confirmed that Wilson’s account of the conversation was true.
“I was stunned when I came to work yesterday morning — and broken-hearted — at what I saw a member of Congress doing,” Kelly, a former general whose son was killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan in 2010, said. “A member of Congress who listened in on a phone call from the President of the United States to a young wife, and in his way tried to express that opinion that he’s a brave man, a fallen hero. He knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted — there’s no reason to enlist, he enlisted — and we was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be, with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his life was taken.”
“That was the message — that was the message that was transmitted,” Kelly continued. “It stuns me that a member of Congress would’ve listened in on that conversation. Absolutely stuns me. And I thought at least that was sacred.”
Rep. Wilson wasn’t the only person who said Trump’s comments to Myeshia were disrespectful. Sgt. Johnson’s mother — Cowanda Jones-Johnson — confirmed Wilson’s account of the call to multiple media outlets and said the president “did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband.”
On Wednesday, Trump claimed that Wilson changed her story, which she had not.
“Didn’t say what that congresswoman said. Didn’t say it at all,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “She knows it, and she now is not saying it. I did not say what she said, and I’d like her to make the statement again because I did not say what she said.”
But Kelly’s comments on Thursday indicate that it was Trump who was lying, not Rep. Wilson.
Kelly’s lamentation about women and Gold Star families no longer being sacred was odd, given that his boss has been accused of sexual assault by more than a dozen women and viciously attacked a Gold Star family that spoke out against his Islamophobia at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Earlier this week, Trump went out of his way to politicize the death of Kelly’s son, enlisting unnamed White House officials to tell reporters that President Obama didn’t call the Kelly family. Kelly in fact attended at least two White House events after his son’s death, one dedicated to Golf Star families and another dedicated to veterans. | positive |
Today I found out why it is nearly impossible to tickle yourself.
It’s very hard to tickle yourself because your brain anticipates things going on around you in order to help speed up response times. More technically, the cerebellum monitors body movements and can also distinguish between expected sensations and unexpected ones, generally resulting in diminishing or completely discarding expected sensations, while paying much more attention to unexpected ones.
So your brain is actively anticipating touch sensations. When it is doing this, it is also actively discarding sensations that it deems unimportant, like when you are typing and it significantly dulls the touch sensation in your fingertips so that you don’t really notice it unless you consciously think about it. This same type of thing happens when you try to tickle yourself.
Researchers at University College London tested this by scanning the brains of subjects while the palms of their hands were touched by themselves and by experimenters. The brain scans revealed that when the touch was externally produced, the somatosensory cortex (involved in processing touch) and anterior cingulate (involved in processing pleasure) parts of the brain reacted much more strongly than when the touch was produced by the subjects themselves. In these latter cases, the brain was using information it has on hand such as motor movements of the finger and arms to anticipate the touch.
Results from a different study showed that the same internal anticipated response applies when subjects manipulated a robot, which then in turn manipulated another robot to touch the subject’s palms. This was only true, however, when the associated touch from the second robot happened right away. When this happened, the cerebellum sends information on the sensation to expect to the somatosensory cortex. With this information, some yet unknown cortical mechanism is triggered that inhibits the tickling sensation from activating.
If the subsequent robotic touch is time delayed, even delayed by as little as a 1/5 of a second, the subjects felt stronger touch sensations, similar to when the touch was not self produced.
So in short, you can’t usually tickle yourself because there is no element of surprise. Your brain is using the various internal sensory data it has available to anticipate exactly what is going to happen based on your movements and visual data. When the anticipated reaction and the actual reaction line up, your brain diminishes or even sometimes completely discards the sensation as a result of that action. On the other hand, when someone else is tickling you, there are unexpected sensations on the skin and these then can result in the tickling sensation being activated.

Bonus Facts:
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, studied fMRI scans between people who were actually being tickled and those who were about to be tickled and were anticipating it and discovered that the brain reacts the same to both. Specifically, the somatosensory cortex and the secondary somatosensory cortex both lit up at around the same levels. So even though, in the latter case, the subjects weren’t being touched, as far as their brains were concerned, they were being touched.
It turns out, the panic response when a tarantula is crawling on your leg or the like is exactly what is happening when you are getting tickled. The body’s response to being tickled is panic and anxiety. It is thought that this is a defense mechanism for exactly the type of thing listed above where an external touch, such as a poisonous insect crawling on you or the like, might be occurring. The body needs to react quickly to this unanticipated touch and without time for much conscious thought, so produces the panic reaction.
Interestingly, the panic reaction that results from tickling doesn’t feel like tickling when the person tickling you isn’t someone you want tickling you. In this case, it more closely resembles actual panic reactions, rather than having associated laughter.
A recent survey of college students indicated that on average only 32% of people report enjoying being tickled. Of the rest, 36% report disliking being tickled and 32% reporting being neutral on tickling. In the same study, they found people who reported disliking being tickled smiled more often during tickling than those who indicated they enjoyed being tickled. This is in line with other research that seems to indicate we smile and laugh during tickling due to nervousness, anxiety, and embarrassment.
The Romans used to use continuous tickling of the feet as a form of torture.
The word “tickle” comes from the Middle English word “tikelen”, meaning “to touch lightly”.
Being tickled by a very light touch across your skin is called “knismesis”. This type of tickle doesn’t usually produce laughter, but does produce the same type of panic response as the alternative form of tickling, called “gargalesis”. Gargalesis is the form of tickling produced by repeatedly having pressure put on ticklish areas.
Contrary to popular belief, most laughter is not associated with humor, but rather stems from non-humor related social interactions. This was discovered from a study covering over 2,000 cases of naturally occurring laughter, almost none of which stemmed from jokes or other such humor devices. Most cases were simple, short “ha ha’s” during somewhat normal conversations. These short laughs almost never interrupted speech, but rather occurred during breaks, providing social cues to those around. It is thought that laughter serves a similar function to yawning, namely providing “social glue” that helps bond people subconsciously.
Apes don’t laugh the way we do, but they do produce a panting sound in the same type of situations that humans would laugh in (being tickled; during play; etc). Likewise, rats will often produce a high-pitch sound when being tickled and during play.
This predictive system used by the brain for anticipated sensations is called a “forward model”, where the brain’s motor system makes predictions about the consequences of some movement or action and interprets the resulting anticipated sensations as self produced or externally produced. It then adjusts the level of the sensations felt accordingly.
This forward-predicting that your brain is constantly doing is also why you get startled and might even jump when you think you are alone and someone sneaks up behind you and taps you on the shoulder or says “boo!” This is the same type of bodily panic reaction as happens as a result of being tickled.

The British playwright Peter Shaffer, who wrote Equus and the multiple Oscar award wimning Amadeus, has died in a hospice in Cork after falling seriously ill last week.
His agent said that Shaffer died on Monday morning at 5.30am at Cork's Marymount Hospice, with his family by his side.
A statement from theatrical and literary agency Macnaughton Lord Representation said: “It is with great sorrow that we must announce the death of our friend and client, Sir Peter Shaffer CBE whilst on a visit to Ireland with friends and family.
“His great friend and American agent, Dennis Aspland remained with him in Ireland throughout his short illness.
“He had been struggling with his health for some time, but was both determined and delighted to have been able to celebrate his 90th birthday in Ireland last month with close family and friends.”
His agent said his close family and friends would like to thank the staff who “cared for him so well” at Bon Secours Hospital and Marymount Hospice.
Liverpool-born Shaffer's well-known works include The Royal Hunt Of The Sun, Black Comedy, Lettice And Lovage and Five Finger Exercise.
He spent much of his working life with the National Theatre in London, the director of which, Rufus Norris, said on Monday that: "Peter Shaffer was one of the great writers of his generation and the National Theatre was enormously lucky to have had such a fruitful and creative relationship with him. The plays he leaves behind are an enduring legacy."
Daniel Radcliffe in a scene from Equus
Shaffer's agent Rupert Lord, said: “He was simply at the end of his life but delighted to have been able to celebrate his 90th birthday with friends and then, I think, decided it was time.”
His play Amadeus, which was about the strained relationship between Mozart and his less gifted admirer and tormented rival composer Salieri, was adapted for a big screen production starring Tom Hulce as Mozart and F. Murray Abraham as Salieri in 1984. The film won eight Oscars the following year, including best film and a screenwriting award for Shaffer.

Shaffer's 1973 play Equus, which tells the story of a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological fascination with horses, was revived in 2007 with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe in his first substantial theatre role. Equus was also a successful film in 1977 starring Richard Burton and Peter Firth. | positive |
The opening credits of Ghost in the Shell are a stunning visual masterpiece — so when a team of artists decided to create 39 live-action still frames recreating shots from the opening, this was a major undertaking.
Graphic designer Ash Thorp has worked on Amazing Spiderman 2, X-Men: First Class and Person of Interest, but this was a pure labor of love. He assembled a team of 30 artists to recreate the beautiful shots from the GitS opening, but he's not involved with Dreamworks' in-development live-action remake.
"I originally wanted this to be just a fun side project to create with some friends on my free time over a time span of a month, if that," Thorp tells The Verge. "But as we opened up the opportunities it got bigger and more complicated as the team grew."
Below, see a few of the most arresting stills, along with a short video on the making of Project 2501 — but there's tons more at Thorp's site. (Warning: video below and some of the stills at Thorp's site are NSFW.)

German comedy 'Head Full of Honey' is the top grossing film in the territory so far this year.
Attendance figures are up nearly 20 percent, according to official figures.
Germany's box office is soaring, up more than 21 percent in the first half of this year, according to official figures released Tuesday.
Helped by the uber-success of local-language comedy Head Full of Honey from German star Til Schweiger, as well as studio imports including Fifty Shades of Grey and Furious 7, German box-office receipts hit $603.7 million (€545 million) in the first six months of 2015, 21.1 percent up on the same period last year.
Most of that jump was attributable to greater ticket sales, as attendance figures jumped 18.8 percent to 66.8 million. A small increase in average ticket price, to $9.04, also helped.
Head Full of Honey, the latest comedy hit from Schweiger, outpaced Fifty Shades of Grey to become the top-grossing title so far this year. Released on Christmas 2014, the film has earned some $63.6 million (€57.4 million) so far and is still screening in some German theaters. Schweiger is working on an English-language remake of the film, which he will also direct.
Head Full of Honey was by far the most successful German film released so far this year, but two more local-language comedies, Traumfrauen and Der Nanny, both, like Head Full of Honey, released through Warner Bros. Germany, topped $14 million.
Overall, however, the share of ticket sales going to German films was down to 26.8 percent in the first half, from 31.6 percent over the same period in 2014.

Ministry | Tags: Christmas, gift, gifts, giving, God, Jesus, light, Savior, serve, world In the midst of this Christmas season, the world is in turmoil; wars, beheadings, police brutality, and Christian persecution. Yet as Christians, we don’t succumb to fear and hopelessness, we endure with the joy and peace that comes with having a personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. In fact, our response to chaos reflects who God is. While the world is in a panic and fear-stricken state, we have the perfect opportunity to share where our hope comes from. This Christmas, let’s remember the true reason for this season, to celebrate the birth of our Savior and to spread the good news about Jesus Christ. What better way to honor our Savior, than by following in His footsteps and give to others what He so graciously gave to us, hope of eternal life. Let’s unwrap ways we can give others the greatest gift ever: Let Our Light Shine- Scripture tells us that we are to “let our light shine before men, so that they may see our good works, and glorify God” (Matthew 5:16). Just as the wise men followed the stars that led them to baby Jesus, may others be drawn to the light of our godly conduct; to our fruit of the Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Humbly Serve- From his birth to His death, Jesus exemplified true humility. Even with ALL power in His hands, our Savior chose to be born in a foul-smelling manger, and to die beaten, bloodied and exposed on a cross. Likewise, may we deny our pride, our ego, and become humble servants who meet the needs of others before ourselves…”for even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many”. (Mark 10:45) Share the Good News- The wise men all brought gifts to baby Jesus. Although he was too young to appreciate the gifts at that age, I can only imagine His thoughts when he grew up and reflected on the meaning of each gift He received. May it be so with our unsaved family, friends, neighbors or strangers that we come across. Although they are lost, in darkness, rejecting our invitations to church and the Gospel message; our prayer is that one day they will come to know Jesus as Savior. That they will reflect back on the gifts of light, humility and the Word we shared with them, and will proclaim, “Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” (Luke 1:78-79 KJV) Give the gift that keeps on giving…Jesus Christ, the Light of World!!

E-Day
BOOKMARK THIS PAGE FOR UPDATES
'For the days surrounding October 28, 2011, PES has been scanning the net to bring you the latest and most up-to-date information about the important October 28 test of the 1 megawatt E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) device, taking place in Italy. PESN's founder, Congress:Founder:Sterling D. Allan, was in attendance at the private event. Keep checking this page for the latest news and updates!'
Key updates are being posted to our Twitter feed as well. http://twitter.com/#!/PESNetwork
: There was an error working with the wiki: Code[1]
: Synopsis: The customer purchased the device, being satisfied with the results. It ran at an avearge of 479 kW for 5.5 hours in self-sustained mode (no external input required other than to run the fans and pumps [negligible]). A historic day, worth of the "E-Day" title.
: Kudos: (In response to an email suggesting that Sterling Allan and Ancrea Rossi go on the CoasttoCoastAM show again) "Sterling Allan is a scientific journalist that really has understood the spirit of our work." -- Andrea Rossi (November 05, 2011 8:44 AM [mst])
Introduction
by Directory:Hank Mills and Congress:Founder:Sterling D. Allan
Pure Energy Systems News
Page commenced October 20, 2011
On October 28th of 2011, a very important, private test of Andrea Rossi's one megawatt Directory:Andrea A. Rossi Cold Fusion Generator (E-Cat) (Energy Catalyzer) will take place ...
This upcoming test will not be conducted by Rossi, but will be managed by the expert consultants sent by his currently undisclosed customer, to validate the plant prior to purchasing it.
For reasons of practicality, safety, and to maintain the confidentiality of the customer's identity, the number of individuals invited to attend this test will be kept to a minimum. Only a few media representatives will be present, one of whom will be Sterling Allan of PESN. No cameras or video taping will be allowed except by authorized persons. No live reporting will be allowed except by Rossi, who will be posting hourly updates on his blog. We will be posting updates along the way as well as our synopsis after the event.
Last January, Rossi held a press conference announcing the breakthrough technology by demonstrating a unit producing several kilowatts of heat. He said that in October of this year he would be launching the first commercial unit, which would be a 1 MW plant (also in the form of heat). He has stuck to and appears to be on track to meet that objective.
The one megawatt, nickel-hydrogen, cold fusion systems will be tested at the event. It is composed of 52 individual modules, each containing three reactor cores.
For the next few days, all public news and information about the test will be posted below. Please share and spread the link to this webpage, as we plan to be providing top notch coverage of this pivotal test of the E-Cat.
October 28: A Confluence of Events
Oct. 26, 2011 update by Congress:Founder:Sterling D. Allan
Yesterday, the day I arrived here in Bologna, I saw a headline from the Wall Street Journal: Italian Government Risks Collapse. Then, a little later, I saw a story at BeforeItsNews about a movement percolating around the Occupy Wallstreet and related groups: Will You Help, "a call to disengage from the military, industrial and congressional complex (as it was originally called by Eisenhower) for a full day". They urge people to "call in sick to work, turn off all the media and appliances you can, get out of the banks, close credit cards, initiate new lifestyle changes, whatever you can do or stop doing. And don't buy a corporate thing."
So while the world sees Italy on verge of collapse, and the activists are calling for a protest shut down of the corporate world for October 28, quite another thing will be taking place in Italy on October 28, 2011 -- the emergence of a technology that could help us turn around the economy and give power to the people, making affordable distributed energy possible.
We invite you to spread this buzz around, to let people know that in the midst of all the gloom created by greed, that a better world is in process of emerging.
I find this confluence more than a coincidence. It seems to be part of the yin/yang dance of a higher power that is working with us to see the emergency of our destiny to be free and independent of the corrupt powers that be that are in process of collapsing the world, even as a new, more enlightened world is arising.
[Sterling's trip is being sponsored by Farlie Paynter of Canada, as well as by Mike Spitzauer, CEO of Directory:Green Power Inc's NanoDiesel:Catalytic Pressureless Depolymerization (Oiling) (GPI), the Waste-to-Diesel Fuel company in Pasco, Washington]

I posted the following feedback to the Boston Globe article:

Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 8:26 AM [MST]
Subject: serious error in cold fusion article
Regarding: http://bostonglobe.com/business/2011/11/28/hope-skepticism-for-cold-fusion/w7FgGyI9Zx432chxuD5BEL/story.html
You said: "Last month, he conducted a test of a small cold fusion power plant in Bologna, Italy"
I attended that test. My report is at http://pesn.com/2011/10/28/9501940_1_MW_E-Cat_Test_Successful/
The customer's report said that it ran at 479 kilowatts on average for five and a half hour in self-sustain mode (no external power supplied other than for the pumps and fans, which were maybe a few kilowatts). They purchased 13 of the 1 MW plants.
How much is 1 MW? It's as much power as a small locomotive. In the test it ran at half that, which is still loads of power.
http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:How_Much_is_One_(1)_Megawatt
That is not "small".
I was going to post this as a comment to the article, but one has to be subscribed to post.

Latest: Directory:Global Warming > Directory:Conspiracy > Directory:Climategate > Climategate 2.0 -- Politics of Science Trumping Left and Right - The same elite scientific establishment that prostituted themselves to promote "global warming" for political reasons, disregarding science (and who support the 9/11 official story) is the same corrupted scientific establishment that has said "cold fusion is impossible." Don't buy their lies. They are liars, as proven. Free energy is possible. The universe is full of it. (PESN and BeforeItsNews November 27, 2011)

Andrea Rossi: Electricity from E-Cat Possible Within a Year
In the recent interview that Andrea Rossi gave on the Tom and Doug radio show, Andrea Rossi revealed that on November 11th he had made an important breakthrough with regards to the production of electrical power from the energy catalyzer.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Her Majesty’s Government seems to have shown some interest in Andrea Rossi’s e-cat cold fusion device or fusor. The Free Energy Truth Blog contacted the British Department of Energy & Climate Change or DECC and actually got a response. The DECC is the UK cabinet department responsible for national energy policy.
http://coldfusion3.com/blog/british-government-shows-some-interest-in-e-cat
---
According to Sen. Bruce Tarr, Andrea Rossi, "the Italian scientist who claims to have developed the world's first nuclear cold fusion reactor is coming to the State House tomorrow to explore the prospects of developing the device and producing it in Massachusetts." Tarr's office says Rossi plans to visit Tuesday morning for two days of meeting with government officials and representatives of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University Massachusetts and Northeastern University. "Mr. Rossi's reactor, if successfully proven and developed, has the potential to change the way the world deals with energy," Tarr said in a statement.

Parties Behind E-cat.com Identified?
link to news
The Swedish publication NyTek reported that it is Hydro Fusion Ltd. a British company that is apparently run by four Swedish entrepreneurs. This entity is apparently the mysterious Northern European licensee that Andrea Rossi mentioned to Sterling Allan of Pure Energy Systems as being behind e-cat.com.

1 MW Plant During Test
Cold fusion: who tempts the E-Cat? (Italian translate to English via Google) - Irene reviews the events of October 28, in interviewing various people present (she tried to interview everyone), and the continual wall of secrecy over how the device works, who the customer is as well as bashfulness to be associated with something that might end up being bogus or if genuine, not wanting to tip off competitors about their advantage. (Focus.it November 15, 2011)
Two short videos of the test of the one megawatt plant. The first is by Congress:Founder:Sterling D. Allan, and the second is by Mats Lewan of NyTeknik.

The Dreamcast didn't have to die part 2 - Model 2 power at home in 1996 against Sony and Nintendo Thread starter VGEsoterica Start date Dec 23, 2021 Forums Discussions Gaming Discussion VGEsoterica Member Dec 23, 2021 #1 I can't help myself...I love making these alternative histories backed by facts and the fact is Sega walked away from the buying 3DO M2 deal at the last possible minute. THIS could have been the reality in 1996...just wait to release Saturn til then and pivot it to M2 hardware. But how much better would it really have been? Well we have a comparison point...the Sega Model 2 hardware. The goal was always to be able to port Model 2 games to Saturn as close as possible for Sega and clearly they did NOT achieve that. But imagine if Sega could have had Model 2 levels of power at home in 1996 to pit against Sony and Nintendo with perfect or near perfect ports of some of their most popular arcade games around. THAT could have been epic for Sega, especially against PS1 So we really need to look at the Sega Model 2 vs the 3DO M2 and conveniently I am pretty sure Konami just looked at the games that existed on Model 2 and straight up copied the entire library when they made their five M2 powered arcade games. Like seriously it's such a blatant rip off of Sega properties I am surprised the lawyers didn't get involved SO what do you think GAF? Could this have kept Sega in the hardware game longer or am I just being foolish?

Reading what was going between the two back then is like something out of a comedy film. I feel like the Saturn's disastrous launch set them on the path to destruction. SOJ was so effing paranoid over the PSX and PS2 and they were so reactionary in the worst possible way. Such a shame, I play my Saturn all the time still, awesome console. I was never into the DC all that much but I did love playing PSO, so much fun.

Really, Sony did the same thing but with Namco's arcade hardware. Namco made their System 11 arcade board with the original PSX hardware. That allowed games like Tekken and Ridge Racer to have arcade perfect ports. Reactions: Dr Bass Romulus Member Dec 23, 2021 #8 Maybe some of it was dwindling consumer confidence too.

The problems at Sega ran much much deeper than hardware. The whole company was a shitshow, east and west constantly at odds with each other and (in regards to the hypothetical release of 1996) the over reliance on arcade titles. The rest of the industry had moved on but here was Sega in the mid 90s relying mostly on ports of arcade games that were short and designed around taking quarters. Their design philosophy was antiquated and should have been left behind a half decade before. I can't help but think that even if Sega went the M2 route it would've inevitably ended up in the same scenario we all saw play out.

Saturn was a mess to deal with. I MADE a demo on M2 and I am not a coder. More devs would have wanted to work on a Sega M2 vs a Sega Saturn as the SDK and OS on M2 was a dream compared to any other platform on the market Kokoloko85 Member Dec 23, 2021 #13 I loved the Sega Saturn so Im good with the timing of Dreamcast Reactions: spookyfish TheDreadLord Member Dec 23, 2021 #14 The Dreamcast is a beefed up N64. No chance on competing with the PS2. Sega should have put more effort in saving/minimizing the Saturn disaster and launching a more powerful console on the same year as the PS2. Perhaps, this M2 deal would have been the best option Sega could have taken. A simpler and more standardized system. They also would have had more time to follow the transition that was happening in the home console space.

That's just you lot swallowing what that lair Tom Kalinske says and in any major company with subsidies, they'll be disagreements and a little infighting MS had 2 teams battling against each other to develop the Xbox. SONY Japan and Sony America/Canada had major disagreements over the naming and the pricing of the unit, so much so Olaf Olafsson walked and SONY Japan fired most of the Canadian staff but one never hears much about that. The biggest mistake SEGA made was letting SEGA America bring out the 32X project instead of dropping it outright and letting them try and develop the 32Bit Sonic. Given how crap M2 games looked from Konami, It was clear SEGA did well to stay away from the Hardware, their games barely troubled PSX games, never mind Model 2 . It's a shame that SEGA didn't continue with Nvidia on that hardware they were working together on mind Last edited: Dec 23, 2021 thicc_girls_are_teh_best Gold Member Dec 23, 2021 #17 ManaByte said: Really, Sony did the same thing but with Namco's arcade hardware.

Sony and Namco did it better mainly because they designed an arcade spec that took the limitations of home 3D into account and went from there, rather than building a super-powerful arcade board (for the time) and then needing to pare down a lot of features to get it running on a 3D console from the decade. If Sega took more of a Neo-Geo approach, made a 5th-gen system that was literally a home Model 2, then maybe that could've worked better. Which is what I guess VGEsoterica is getting at by suggesting a Sega-branded M2 for 1996, which would've been even more market-friendly MSRP wise than the Neo-Geo AES was for its time.

Their design philosophy was antiquated and should have been left behind a half decade before. Click to expand... This wasn't actually the issue, and the industry didn't shift nearly as far from arcade-style games as some might think. The vast majority of PS1's early content (1994-late 1997) were very arcade-style games in terms of their game design, or in other cases being literal arcade ports. Tekken, Ridge Racer, Destruction Derby, Twisted Metal, Loaded, Jumping Flash, Motor Toon, Crash Bandicoot, Parappa etc. These were all games that either had actual arcade ports, or a lot of arcade game design sensibilities (lives systems, simple controls, very flashy gameplay etc.). A game like Destruction Derby for example, would've worked perfectly as an arcade release with just a few simple design tweaks here and there. You of course had the Resident Evils and Tomb Raiders, and various JRPGs etc. but those were exceptions. Or at the very least, didn't overpower its library compared to the arcade-style games that were present. The shift to more cinematic games leading PS1 AAA more or less began with Final Fantasy VII and Gran Turismo, then in 1998 you got a ton of those kind of games like RE2, Parasite Eve, Xenogears, MGS etc. Those started taking over more as the marquee big AAA releases, but even then you still had arcade games like Tekken 3 in the mix, too. Sega's issue in the mid '90s with their ports to Saturn wasn't that they were arcade games, it was that they had VERY little additional home-exclusive content. Just compare the Saturn port of VF2 to the PS1 version of Tekken 2. The former didn't have a lot of extra content, in fact the CG videos were put out as their own separate discs that only came to Japan. Why were they not included in the game directly, especially when those CG discs offered at least some element of story and characterization to the fighters? Meanwhile, Tekken 2 had a good deal of extra content, including IIRC some home-exclusive characters, and Tekken 3 took all of that to the next level. Even early Namco PS1 ports of Ridge Racer and Cyber Sled offered a few extra bonuses, whereas with a lot of Sega's arcade ports to Saturn you were lucky to get remixed OSTs usually. I think some of them did a 'Saturn Mode' but it wasn't the majority, and the one arcade port that got a bevy of extra content, the Saturn version of Virtua Racing, was done by Time Warner! I think Sega were of the impression simply getting home ports of the arcade games that matched or mostly matched up well visually was enough, and maybe it would've been if other companies like Namco and Midway didn't routinely pump in a ton of extra content for the home ports of their arcade games. But since they did, that made Sega's offerings seem anemic by comparison even if often times Sega's stuff had better gameplay. Speaking of which, none of Sega's arcade games from that period, IMO, were designed as quarter-munchers. I think that's an unfair label applied to arcade games in general; while some definitely were designed that way, the truth is quite a lot had real skill to them and if you mastered the game mechanics, you could reliably beat them on probably a couple of dollars, if not less. There are tons of shmups for example designed to be beaten on a single credit, if you have the skill to do so. A lot of Sega's arcade games, especially from the '90s, are designed with a fair difficulty level, and if you're at least somewhat decent in them, you can generally beat them without feeding a metric ton of credits into them. And they also had a lot of depth, there were tournaments for Daytona USA for example. In fact, you can find video for them on Youtube. However, they're all in Japanese as that's where the tournaments were held, but it's pretty fascinating stuff. You simply can't have that for games if they're supposedly shallow on the gameplay front. TheDreadLord said: The Dreamcast is a beefed up N64. No chance on competing with the PS2.

The Dreamcast was a lot more than just a beefed up N64 spec-wise, that's selling it short. It still had hardware advantages over the PS2, such as more VRAM, better color depth (tho that might've been due to using better video out), and on average better textures (it's not until 2003 or so where it feels PS2 games start regularly providing texture quality on par with Dreamcast). There are a few other advantages as well but I'd have to look them up. PS2 was absolutely overhyped in terms of its technical capabilities, and while part of that was due to Sony another part was due to the media of the time TBH. Of course it did have absolute advantages over Dreamcast in a few very important areas (geometry rate, lighting, pure 3D math calculations etc.), and even over the Xbox and Gamecube (particle fillrate, mainly, partly due to the insane width of its memory bus, it was 2560-bit or something like that...that's wider than some HBM configurations today just for reference). But structurally speaking there were no games on PS2 that Dreamcast would not have been able to do, some downscaling in certain graphical areas (and maybe increases in a few other areas) nothwithstanding. TBH the only system I feel you can reliably say had games that couldn't be (relatively) easily done on other systems that gen was the Xbox, just due to its built-in features like broadband ethernet and the HDD. A Blinx, for example, you literally could not do a game like that on the Dreamcast, Gamecube or PS2 due to its use of the HDD (and if you wanted to try on the PS2, you'd need the HDD expansion, which I'm not even sure came to market. I know the Network adopter did). Last edited: Dec 23, 2021 Reactions: Kokoloko85 nkarafo Member Dec 23, 2021 #18 M2 is nothing like a Model 2 in terms or power. It's closer to a N64 which makes it only marginally more powerful than the Saturn already is so still miles behind the Model 2, which was almost a generation ahead in terms of performance.

Most were developed with ps2 in mind yet almost always run at higher settings on xbox. Sometimes 2x fps and higher resolutions on xbox. If bandwidth was that critical, every xbox or GC game shd have struggled.

Everything i saw so far from M2, including all the games in your own channel, makes it look like a turbocharged N64, even the blurry textures are similar. Model 2 games are a huge step above. They have way more polygons and textures are sharper/higher resolution. Sure it's better than the Saturn and should be able to do more stuff but Model 2 ports would still suffer.

It's just that very few PS2 games even used it so it feels like it was never there. Seems like the network adapter got around a lot more, probably to compete with Xbox Live.

Yeah, OG Xbox had quite a few advantages over PS2, Dreamcast and Gamecube, tho FWIW I think Gamecube also had a similar shader pipeline, and that definitely separated the two of them from systems like PS2. Though to also be fair, PS2's particle fillrate advantage did come in handy with some games; Zone of the Enders for example, even the 360 version has compromised particle effects compared to the PS2 one due to that very reason. Silent Hill 2 on OG Xbox also had a similar cutback with the fog/mist effect, it has a lot less volume compared to the PS2 one. VGEsoterica said: Sega has def lost a step or two in the last 5-10 years. They either do something really well or totally fail (Sonic Forces) Click to expand... Eh, this REALLY depends on what specific Sega IP you're into. If you're really into the older classic IP that's been dormant for a while, I can understand how it'd feel like they've taken a step or two back. If you're really into classic Sonic, I can also understand, though they've had flashes of brilliant Sonic games over the past decade or so (Generations, All-Star Racing Transformed, Mania). But if just talking pure gaming output, they've been one of the most consistent and best over the past decade, especially the past few years. You don't win Best Publisher of the Year by MetaCritic averages multiple times without putting out some solid content. And they've been gradually bringing back older IP: Daytona (arcade-only still), House of the Dead (arcade-only still), Streets of Rage, classic Sonic, Sakura Wars, Virtual-On, Virtua Fighter etc. I'm hopeful for Sonic Frontiers, as well. They're a lot more than just Sonic and have been for a while now. I do think they could promote some of their games a lot better though. nkarafo said: Everything i saw so far from M2, including all the games in your own channel, makes it look like a turbocharged N64, even the blurry textures are similar. Model 2 games are a huge step above. They have way more polygons, textures are sharper/higher resolution and most (if not all of them) run at steady 60fps. Sure it's better than the Saturn and should be able to do more stuff but Model 2 ports would still suffer a lot. Click to expand... There's not a lot fundamentally different from Model 2 vs. M2 that you'd get completely different game design possible on the former not possible on the latter. That said, there's no M2 games with the level of fidelity of the best of Model 2, but we have to keep in mind Model 2 was fully supported commercially, and had one of the best devs in the industry supporting it (Sega). M2 didn't have a very long commercial life at all, and I doubt Konami put their best teams on M2 software (and it's not like Panasonic had any 1P developers to rely on, either). That all said, a Sega console using M2 tech in 1996, would've translated Model 2 games more faithfully than Saturn, that's for sure. And even if there would've been differences, they'd be a lot less glaring, and still be better looking than PS1's arcade ports from companies like Namco. Only question is the viability of such a Sega console from a business POV and what it'd of done for them realistically as a platform holder.

Seems like the network adapter got around a lot more, probably to compete with Xbox Live. Yeah, OG Xbox had quite a few advantages over PS2, Dreamcast and Gamecube, tho FWIW I think Gamecube also had a similar shader pipeline, and that definitely separated the two of them from systems like PS2. Though to also be fair, PS2's particle fillrate advantage did come in handy with some games; Zone of the Enders for example, even the 360 version has compromised particle effects compared to the PS2 one due to that very reason. Silent Hill 2 on OG Xbox also had a similar cutback with the fog/mist effect, it has a lot less volume compared to the PS2 one. Eh, this REALLY depends on what specific Sega IP you're into. If you're really into the older classic IP that's been dormant for a while, I can understand how it'd feel like they've taken a step or two back. If you're really into classic Sonic, I can also understand, though they've had flashes of brilliant Sonic games over the past decade or so (Generations, All-Star Racing Transformed, Mania). But if just talking pure gaming output, they've been one of the most consistent and best over the past decade, especially the past few years. You don't win Best Publisher of the Year by MetaCritic averages multiple times without putting out some solid content. And they've been gradually bringing back older IP: Daytona (arcade-only still), House of the Dead (arcade-only still), Streets of Rage, classic Sonic, Sakura Wars, Virtual-On, Virtua Fighter etc. I'm hopeful for Sonic Frontiers, as well.

Yes Konami put second and third tier devs on M2 projects and they still look and play legit. KCER handled most of those games ReBurn Gold Member Dec 23, 2021 #29 ManaByte said: Really, Sony did the same thing but with Namco's arcade hardware. Namco made their System 11 arcade board with the original PSX hardware. That allowed games like Tekken and Ridge Racer to have arcade perfect ports. Click to expand... They weren't arcade perfect, but they were pretty close. Ridge Racer was released in the arcade on System 22 and ported down, leaving it at only 30 FPS at lower resolution and it suffered from the classic PS1 texture warping. The arcade version was 60 FPS and much cleaner. Tekken was more or less the same as the arcade. There were differences in text and fonts and some other assets but the gameplay was pretty much the same in action.

I've heard that several times, but the instances are extremely rare and every time I see a comparison video, it just seems pretty lackluster in terms of the differences.

They were just sub-par ports. They screwed up the audio files, FMV, all kinds of simple stuff wasn't even ported over correctly on Xbox or PC so it just shows it was a low effort.

The 60 FPS Bonus Turbo Mode demo they did years after launch was pretty amazing considering the hardware. It still wasn't as polished as the arcade version but it was so smooth. PS1 had some chops if developers were willing to put in the effort. Hawk269 Member Dec 24, 2021 #33 fart town usa said: Yea, lots of truth to this. Reading what was going between the two back then is like something out of a comedy film. I feel like the Saturn's disastrous launch set them on the path to destruction. SOJ was so effing paranoid over the PSX and PS2 and they were so reactionary in the worst possible way. Such a shame, I play my Saturn all the time still, awesome console. I was never into the DC all that much but I did love playing PSO, so much fun. Click to expand... We need a Sega version of the 6 part MS Power On show. I love Sega, still own all the systems they have made and I continue to look and buy old Sega games, just recently added 5 CIB Sega Master System games to my collection....but I would love a well made documentary that goes all over this in great detail. The Dreamcast was so much ahead of it's time. I still imagine if Sega managed to survive and be successful what a Dreamcast 2 would be like. One thing for sure, Sega on their own hardware were incredible content makers.

Visually at the time they were nice, but not that impressive. No where near as impressive as going to E3 and seeing Soul Caliber running on a Dreamcast. That was a sight to behold that I clearly can still remember. Perhaps if Sega just focused on software, never released the 32x and didn't pass on SGI's tech things would have been different in that gen. After that gen, going with the 3DFX hardware would have been my vote. Easy PC ports and GLIDE api could have had huge impacts on the landscape then.

That is certainly a possibility and can never be ruled out. Considering the status of Xbox in the industry at the time, and the general state of PC gaming (seems like 2002 - pre Steam were what some'd call the "Dark Ages" of PC gaming), and Konami's general lack of experience in doing PC ports, and it could definitely be down to lack of resources and experience with how some parts of the Xbox SH2 port turned out, and the PC port in general. That might be the more likely reason, but there are pros and cons to weighing each possibility. Hawk269 said: We need a Sega version of the 6 part MS Power On show.

Click to expand... I'd be so down for this. Sadly, it'd require Sega of Japan to provide a lot of insight, including things that are still only really known amongst them. Considering how Japanese executives tend to be pretty reserved, and don't delve that openly into internal corporate politics of their companies (or their company divisions/branches), I strongly doubt we'll be a modern documentary equivalent of Power On focused on Sega's time as a platform holder. Thankfully, there's the Service Games book and, if you know where to look, the Eidolinn's Inn articles a big chunk of the book are based on. Not all the info in the articles are fully accurate, and some of it is more speculative on the writer's part (the book is a much more polished version of the articles and greatly expands on the content of the articles plus additional information too), but you won't find a more comprehensive set of articles on Sega hardware history anywhere else besides Sega Retro.

About
Sitting at the corner cafe with espresso, cigars, cannoli and good friends is the natural habitat for old Italian men everywhere. A select group of enlightened retirees with cameos from Tom and Ray of Car Talk fame, spend an abundance of spare time at the cafes of Harvard Square in Cambridge - our fair city - MA. Enjoying the perpetual weekend, these men do lots of crossword puzzles, tell jokes, share stories, and laugh hysterically together. By kickstarting this web series, you too will be able to avoid work and share our humor and relaxation via the Internet.
Specifically, Italian Yoga is yoga without the exercise. Instead of stretching and sweating, we sit at the cafe with friends, sip espresso, and enjoy a moment together. In our tradition of Mediterranean mindfulness, we find peace in what Italians call "dolce far niente." Rather than grabbing a vat of Starbucks coffee and running off, we linger at the cafe and enjoy ourselves without a single thought of w-w-work.
Everyone in our group is a born storyteller with a unique perspective on life. Because we all have so much fun together, we want to invite the world to share our cafe camaraderie. With the help of the Kickstarter community, we plan to document our inactivity at various cafes in Cambridge, MA for several (7-10) days of shooting.
From that footage, we will produce a short documentary-style video, three long-form uncut pieces, and several more short videos that we will post on YouTube over the next year. Contributors will receive sneak-peak access to our videos and all manner of shameless commerce (listed on the right). Our goal is to use this pilot to launch a web series that includes cafe moments with celebrity guests, short comic sketches, and enlightening wisdom for everyday living.
THE YOGIS
The Gang
Tom (aka Tommy, Frank, Stoopie, or Strunzo #1) is a sage master of avoiding work, acting like a bum, but "earning" an income anyway. As the senior member of the group, he has probably logged more hours at the cafe' than the rest of us. A testament to his mastery of Italian Yoga is his ability to sip a single shot of espresso for four hours.
Peter (aka Goomba or Strunzo #2) is Tom's soul mate. They have been inseparable since meeting at Caffe' Paradiso seven years ago. At first the rest of us thought Peter was crazy, now that we are certain of it, we've also grown used to his cigars and fond of his endless stories about growing up in the North End and generally living his life one moment to the next.
Ray (aka Frank, Putz, or Strunzo #3) may be Tom's brother, but there are hardly two more different people. Ray loves projects, puttering, crossword puzzles, and any other activity. He is a master of recruiting others for various projects and might know close to a thousand jokes. When Tom doesn't remember a story about the family or their radio show, Ray is always able to recount the details.
Drew (aka Putz or Strunzo #4) is Ray's son and the youngest member of the group. As the only bachelor among us, he is often the recipient of relationship advice and occasional attempts at match-making with any young women unfortunate enough to get in conversation distance of Peter. Drew still has a great deal to learn about life, love, and espresso, but the rest of us are glad to teach him.
Armando is the godfather of Italian Yoga. Born in Italy and the proprietor of a pizza shop in Cambridge, Armando is a natural yogi with the purest wisdom of Mediterranean mindfulness. He once gave this nuanced advice to Drew: "Andrea, you must speak to every beautiful woman." Drew has not been the same since.
Richie and Pepe are Ray's closest friends. To varying degrees, they are each handy men who often go to Home Depot with Ray. Their wives are only beginning to get jealous. Tony is the most popular name in the group, so it is important to specify: Tony the Italian Buddhist from East Cambridge, Tony the MIT alum from Egypt, or Tony from the laborer from the old country.
Bob, Daren and Kurt are our filmmakers. Together, they have 42 years of professional experience in television, short films, and web videos. Also Dirk is our resident German, who has done much of the actual work thus far, but mostly he does his best to keep Peter out of trouble.
Benito (aka Benny) is the people's dog but Peter happens to feed and care for him. Named after the infamous Italian dictator, Benito is a 260 pound mastiff that can often be seen lounging brontosaurus-like in Peter's convertible or beside our cafe table.
Of course, all manner of local derelicts, ne're-do-wells, and denizens of Harvard Square will make cameo appearances as well. | positive |
CNN covered for Hillary Clinton when it edited a statement made by the former secretary of state in response to an explosion that rocked a Manhattan Chelsea neighborhood Saturday night.
In her actual statement, the Democratic presidential nominee called the explosion a “bombing,” while at the same time chastising Donald Trump for calling it the same. Oops.
Here’s Clinton’s full statement, as reported by ABC News’ Liz Kreutz:
Hillary Clinton, on her campaign plane, responds to explosion in NYC pic.twitter.com/4tfyUE2vNc — Liz Kreutz (@ABCLiz) September 18, 2016
“I’ve been briefed about bombings in New York and New Jersey, and the attacks in Minnesota,” she told reporters aboard her campaign aircraft. She then launched into a call for support of first responders in these attacks.
Trump, her Republican rival for the White House was scolded by media figures for also referring to the New Jersey and New York events as bombings. Reporters were apparently deaf when Clinton said the same.
But, TruthKings.com reported this clip from CNN on the same statement, where it edited out Clinton’s depiction of the event as a bombing, as well as any reference to the other two events.
Hillary Clinton on NYC explosion: “We should withhold judgment until we know more” https://t.co/gtE1bR4PRZ https://t.co/wyUKj8Zdyb — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) September 18, 2016
The site clipped a few screencaps to show other CNN reports blasting Trump for using the word “bomb.” That would explain the edit from such an unbiased, upstanding news site like . . . oh, wait, nevermind.
This marked one of Clinton’s first press appearances following her reported bout with pneumonia, and her drugged, sickly appearance made some say that she should have been bedridden rather than campaigning.
Earlier Saturday, a pipe bomb exploded striking fear among participants at a New Jersey charity run. No one was injured, but the event was cancelled as authorities searched the boardwalk and beach for evidence.
Terror also struck the Midwest Saturday night when a man wearing a security uniform and referencing Allah, went on a knife-wielding rampage at a St. Paul, Minnesota mall and left at least eight injured.

"Uh oh."
That's not what you want to hear doing your first Western blot. I wasn't even halfway through. I separated proteins with gel electrophoresis and now had to transfer them to membrane. Only then could I block and apply antibodies.
And applying antibodies was the goal. Because unlike many people at BenchSci, I'm not a scientist. I consider myself scientific—I even studied the history and philosophy of science and technology. But at BenchSci, where I head growth, the only experiments I run are A/B marketing tests. So, to better understand how our antibody search platform helps scientists, I needed to feel their pain first-hand.
And man, did I. "Looks like this gel is expired," said the lab technician, peeling off the membrane. "Nothing transferred." After half a day in the lab, I failed my first Western blot spectacularly—I never even got to apply antibodies. It was a serious disappointment, but reinforced three insights I had into why anything that reduces sources of error in biomedical experiments would be welcome.
Insight 1: A Lot Rides on a Single Experiment
I was fortunate. For my experiment, I used prepared samples. I did nothing to prepare them. Normally, I learned, it could take weeks or months to get to this stage, depending on whether the samples had come from animals or cell lines. So while I lost a morning, I could have lost months. Antibodies and other reagents bridge the last mile of a long journey. It sucks to come all that way and drive off a cliff.
Insight 2: Many Points of Failure in a Very Manual Process
I learned from the lab technician that the technology we used for our Western blot—basically a box like a battery (electrophoresis chamber), plastic cases, sponges—was old school, and that more automated systems exist. But while they're more efficient with antibodies, they're also expensive. So old, cheap technology prevails—especially in academic institutions.
And man is it error-prone! We had to overcome leakage from loose parts, for example, which we did using the precise scientific technique of banging the box or practically sitting on it. Once we tightened things up, I was surprised at how manual the process was, providing even more points of failure. I made a mistake while pipetting, for example, dispensing too little sample into a well. This small error had a long-term impact, as now the protein target would seem less dense on film regardless of its presence in the sample. So I'm not surprised about the reproducibility crisis.
Insight 3: Scientists Will Do Anything to Remove Sources of Error
When we started our experiment, my colleague Maurice pointed to initials that scientists had written on the equipment. "People put their name on things," he said, "because if they have success using a piece of equipment, they want to use that equipment again in future."
I laughed, because it made scientists seem as superstitious as athletes. But after experiencing leakage and messing up my sample volume, I understood: there are so many things scientists can't control, they're constantly looking for things they can.
And that's why, despite not even making a successful transfer, I consider my experiment a success. My hypothesis was that BenchSci's ability to reduce reagents as a source of error is important for scientists. Experiencing the frustration of a blank membrane, after a morning dealing with fussy equipment and poor pipetting, I can only conclude my hypothesis is correct. | positive |

The first phase of the this campaign, launched today by the Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC), will see groups of scientists spreading out across the world in search of “25 most wanted lost species”.
Collectively, these 25 species have not been seen in more than 1,500 years.
The top 25 species include 10 mammals, three birds, three reptiles, two amphibians, three fish, one insect, one crustacean, one coral and one plant, found across 18 countries.
Unseen for decades in the wild, many species are now feared extinct. Some exist only as museum specimens, others are only known from old drawings or photographs.
But some of these missing species may still be out there, lurking in remote, unexplored regions of our planet. And to find them, scientists are embarking on what is believed to be the largest-ever global quest for our world’s forgotten animals and plants — the Search for Lost Species campaign.
The first phase of the this campaign, launched today by the Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC), will see groups of scientists spreading out across the world in search of “25 most wanted lost species”. These include the the tiny bullneck seahorse from Australia that has never been seen in the wild; the Himalayan quail that was last recorded 141 years ago in India; the Wondiwoi tree kangaroo, known only from a single specimen collected in 1928 in Indonesia; the pink-headed duck, once-widespread across India, Bangladesh and Myanmar, but last seen in 1949; and the Fernandina Galápagos tortoise, last seen in 1906 on the Galápagos’s youngest and least-explored island.
“These species include quirky, charismatic animals and plants that also represent tremendous opportunities for conservation,” Robin Moore, GWC communications director and conservation biologist, said in a statement. “While we’re not sure how many of our target species we’ll be able to find, for many of these forgotten species this is likely their last chance to be saved from extinction.”
The top 25 species in GWC’s long list of more than 1,200 lost animals and plants, include 10 mammals, three birds, three reptiles, two amphibians, three fish, one insect, one crustacean, one coral and one plant, distributed across 18 countries. Together, these 25 species have not been seen in more than 1,500 years, GWC said in the statement.
While some of these species are listed as critically endangered (and may even be possibly extinct) by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, others are listed as endangered, vulnerable or data deficient.
Mongabay interviewed Robin Moore, the brain behind the exciting Search for Lost Frogs initiative in 2010, to learn more about the Search for Lost Species campaign.
An interview with Robin Moore:
Mongabay: Why look for lost species? What do you hope to achieve?
Robin Moore: Put simply, to create flagships for conservation. To engage people in the protection of endangered species and critical habitats by raising the profile of some of the world’s forgotten species.
Rediscovery is such a powerful vehicle of hope — and hope is a much more powerful motivator than despair. I know I have gotten pretty used to talking to people about what we are losing, because I see it and live it every day, but we also need to be reminded that there is still an incredible, diverse world out there that is worth fighting for. I hope that by inviting people to join us on this quest — from its inception — we can rekindle those embers of curiosity and inspire people to connect with the wonder and awe of the natural world on a deeper level.
Mongabay: How did you shortlist the 25 ‘most wanted’ lost species?
Robin Moore: We invited experts from over 100 Specialist Groups of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature to nominate candidate species. We took these nominations — over 1,200 species in total — and applied a number of criteria to determine the top 25 — a few of which are outlined below:
Firstly, we selected species representing a diversity of taxonomic groups — from mammals, birds and reptiles to corals, crustaceans and plants.
Secondly, we tried to achieve a good geographic spread to represent many of the biodiverse but imperiled habitats around the world.
Third, we assessed the likelihood that a species could be found. We took into account previous search effort and expert opinion on the added value of further searches. We omitted any species classified by the IUCN Red List as Extinct, instead focusing on species that are possibly extinct or simply too little known to gauge.
Fourth, we assessed the scientific and conservation importance of a rediscovery, reaching out to partners on the ground to assess possible follow-up conservation actions to protect the species and its habitat.
Finally, species with a compelling back story made strong candidates for the Top 25, because it is easier for people to connect with species whose story draws them in. It’s hard to overstate the power of a good story.
Mongabay: Why do mammals form the bulk of the top 25 species?
Robin Moore: Ten out of our Top 25 Lost Species are mammals, largely because we had fuller back stories on many of these species, which helped elevate them to candidates for poster species of the campaign. People generally connect more easily with mammals than they do with species further away from us on the evolutionary tree. There is a reason that most flagships for conservation are large-bodied mammals. But we want to use the “charisma” of a lost colobus monkey and tree kangaroo to draw people in, and to learn more about the Sierra Leone Crab, Wellington’s Solitary Coral, and Velvet Pitcher Plant, for instance. But we have to get our foot in the door with people’s attention first.
Mongabay: How does the campaign work with local partners? How many scientists and organizations are likely to be involved in this?
Robin Moore: We have collaborated with more than 100 scientists and conservation partners around the world to compile the list and develop searches. Our aim is to make this a truly collaborative campaign, and to work with as many local partners as possible, as this is our model at Global Wildlife Conservation. Our aim is to establish long-term partnerships that will lead to the protection of these species and their habitats. We also want to engage people beyond our conservation and scientific partners in the search, and have created a project within iNaturalist so that anyone can submit observations of lost species. We also invite people to nominate lost species that may be missing from our list.
Mongabay: How do you fund such an expansive search?
Robin Moore: Creatively! We will be adopting a number of approaches to raise the funds for expeditions, from an auction of lost species artwork by renowned artists, to enticing individuals and companies to sponsor expeditions, to crowdfunding.
Mongabay: Shouldn’t we be focusing our efforts and funds on saving species that we know are out there and are imperiled?
Robin Moore: We definitely should. But it is also not a zero sum game. One of the primary goals of this campaign is to raise support for conservation that would otherwise not be available, by inspiring people to become engaged in the cause.
Global Wildlife Conservation has worked with partners around the world to create more than 20 new nature reserves, home to more than 100 threatened species. And we continue to do this important work. But there is a reason I am being asked about this campaign instead — it taps into something very different inside of us. It is a promise to bring people with us on an odyssey of exploration and discovery to uncharted lost worlds, to feel the tingle of excitement at the first glimpse of an animal that has not been sighted in 100 years, and never before photographed.
Mongabay referred to our Search for Lost Frogs as “one of conservation’s most exciting expeditions”. It is this excitement that I think we need to connect with more deeply, as this is what we feel when we first fell in love with the natural world, and it is what is going to inspire a new generation of conservationists. We are also tapping into our innate tendency to value more what we have lost than what is right in front of us to create novel flagships for conservation and inspire action.
It’s important to note that species rediscoveries often result in conservation efforts that benefit not just the species but also their habitats and other wildlife. Take the Jamaican Iguana — after four decades without trace it was rediscovered and brought back from the brink of extinction by an international consortium — it is now a flagship for the conservation of an imperiled dry forest habitat in Jamaica.
Mongabay: What are some of the hurdles you foresee in your search?
Robin Moore: Many of the places in which these species live are extremely remote, and the species themselves are elusive and poorly known. Take the Bullneck Seahorse — it has never been seen in the wild, and so it is unclear exactly where to target a search. Also, as we discovered during the Search for Lost Frogs, the weather does not always cooperate with the best laid plans, and in one instance torrential rains and mudslides forced a team back before they really got going. It’s hard to plan to find something that hasn’t been seen for 100+ years — but if it weren’t so challenging, it wouldn’t all be so tantalizing. | positive |
Speaking UNIX
The best-kept secrets of UNIX power users
Content series: This content is part # of # in the series: Speaking UNIX Stay tuned for additional content in this series. This content is part of the series: Speaking UNIX Stay tuned for additional content in this series.
If you're wondering why I'm wearing dark sunglasses, a fake moustache, and a baseball cap (featuring the logo of professional curling team, The Floating Stones), I'm on the lam. I'm dodging black remote-controlled helicopters, pasty-white systems administrators, and the combined forces of many daemons to bring you some of the best-kept secrets of UNIX® power users. Don your aluminum foil hat and read on.
Save the environment variables
Most UNIX users amass settings in shell startup files, such as .bashrc (for the Bash shell) and .zshrc (for the Z shell), to recreate a preferred shell environment time and again. Startup files can create aliases, set shell options, create functions, and set environment variables. Essential environment variables include HOME (which points to your home directory), PATH (which enumerates directories in which to search for applications), and MANPATH (which lists directories in which to search for man pages). To see which environment variables are set in your shell, type printenv . Consult your shell's man page for a complete list of available environment variables.
Like the shell, you can customize many other UNIX applications through environment variables. For example, the Java™ subsystem requires that you define JAVA_HOME to point to the root of a Java run time. Similarly, the suite of Amazon Web Services (AWS) utilities mandates the use of AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE to point to a file with valid private key credentials. Individual applications provide environment variables, too. The trick is discovering the variables. Luckily, the work need not involve breaking and entering; instead, simply consult the man page of the utility at hand and look for a separate section titled, "Environment Variables."
For example, the pager utility less defines a number of useful environment variables:
The environment variable LESS stores command-line options, reducing what you type each time you invoke the pager. For instance, if you read a good number of log files, put the following in a shell startup file: export LESS='--RAW-CONTROL-CHARACTERS --squeeze-lines --ignore-case' The options interpret control characters (usually syntax coloring), reduce runs of blank lines to a single line, and ignore case in string matches, respectively. If you work with code, try these options: export LESS='--LINE-NUMBERS --quit-if-one-screen --quit-on-intr'
The environment setting named LESSKEY points to a file of key bindings. You can use key bindings to customize the behavior of less , say, to match the behavior of another pager or editor.
, say, to match the behavior of another pager or editor. Like the shell, less can maintain history between invocations. Set LESSHISTFILE and LESSHISTSIZE to point to a file of persist commands and to set the maximum number of commands to record, respectively.
Another good application of environment variable can be found in the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). GCC defines a variety of environment variables to customize its operation. LIBRARY_PATH, as its name implies, is a list of directories to search for libraries to link to; COMPILER_PATH works much like the shell's PATH but is used internally by GCC to find subprograms used during the compilation process.
If you write code and build binaries for a single platform, you may never use these environment variables, However, if you cross-compile the same code for a number of platforms, such variables are essential for accessing the varied headers and libraries for each platform. You might set variables to one collection of values for one kind of machine and set the values to another collection for a system of an alternate flavor.
In fact, you can take a cue from GCC: Maintain many sets of environment variables per application and switch from one pool to another depending on the work at-hand. One approach is to keep an environment initialization file in each project directory and source it as needed. For instance, many Ruby developers use such a solution to switch between Ruby versions, changing environment variables PATH, GEM_HOME, and GEM_PATH as needed to hop from one version to another.
Dotting the landscape
Much like environment variables, many Linux® and UNIX applications provide a dot file—a small file whose name begins with a period—for customizations. However, unlike environment variables that capture a handful of flags or a relatively tiny amount of information, a dot file can be much more extensive, even complex, with its own peculiar syntax rules and even its own programming language. A dot file is a convenient place to keep options and settings, because (per UNIX heritage) file names that begin with a dot do not appear in a standard directory listing. (Use ls -a to see these so-called hidden files.) Except for its special name, a dot file is a plain text file.
A dot file is usually found in your home directory, but some utilities look for a dot file in the present working directory, too. If an application supports more than one dot file, the program typically applies precedence rules to favor one file over another. In general, a "local" dot file—one found in the current working directory—has highest precedent, followed by one in your home directory and then by a system-wide configuration. None, one, or all of these files can exist, and it's up to the application to treat the files as mutually exclusive or incremental. In the former case, the first dot file found in the precedent chain is definitive. In the latter case, the configuration might cascade or be reconciled into a final result.
An example of a simple dot file is less 's key bindings file, located in $HOME/.lesskey. Each line in the file is a pair (a keystroke and a command) resembling something like the snippet below:
\r forw-line
forw-line e forw-line j forw-line ^E forw-line ^N forw-line k back-line y back-line ^Y back-line
At the other extreme, consider fetchmail . The utility picks up e-mail from multiple remote sources and delivers the messages locally. The operation of the utility is controlled solely through $HOME/.fetchmailrc. (See the man page for its many options.) cron , git , vi , and many other commands recognize dot files, too. Again, read the man page for the application to learn what you configure in a dot file. Some dot files are rich enough to warrant a separate man page, such as crontab .
Shhh . . . secrets about SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) is a rich subsystem used to log in to remote systems, copy files, and tunnel through firewalls—securely. Since SSH is a subsystem, it offers plenty of options to customize and streamline its operation. In fact, SSH provides an entire "dot directory", named $HOME/.ssh, to contain all its data. (Your .ssh directory must be mode 600 to preclude access by others. A mode other than 600 interferes with proper operation.) Specifically, the file $HOME/.ssh/config can define lots of shortcuts, including aliases for machine names, per-host access controls, and more.
Here is a typical block found in $HOME/.ssh/config to customize SSH for a specific host:
Host worker HostName worker.example.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_worker User joeuser
Each block in ~/.ssh/config configures one or more hosts. Separate individual blocks with a blank line. This block uses four options: Host , HostName , IdentityFile , and User . Host establishes a nickname for the machine specified by HostName . A nickname allows you to type ssh worker instead of ssh worker.example.com . Moreover, the IdentityFile and User options dictate how to log in to worker . The former option points to a private key to use with the host; the latter option provides the login ID. Thus, this block is the equivalent of the command:
ssh [email protected] -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_worker
A powerful but little-known option is ControlMaster . If set, multiple SSH sessions to the same host share a single connection. Once the first connection is established, credentials are not required for subsequent connections, eliminating the drudgery of typing a password each and every time you connect to the same machine. ControlMaster is so handy, you'll likely want to enable it for every machine. That's accomplished easily enough with the host wildcard, * :
Host * ControlMaster auto ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p
As you might guess, a block tagged Host * applies to every host, even those not explicitly named in the config file. ControlMaster auto tries to reuse an existing connection but will create a new connection if a shared connection cannot be found. ControlPath points to a file to persist a control socket for sharing. %r is replaced by the remote login user name, %h is replaced by the target host name, and %p stands in for the port used for the connection. (You can also use %l ; it is replaced with the local host name.) The specification above creates control sockets with file names akin to:

Each control socket is removed when all connections to the remote host are severed. If you want to know which machines you are connected to at any time, simply type ls ~/.ssh and look at the host name portion of the control socket ( %h ).
The SSH configuration file is so expansive, it too has its own man page. Type man ssh_config to see all possible options. And here's a clever SSH trick: You can tunnel from a local system to a remote one via SSH. The command line to use looks something like this:
$ ssh example.com -L 5000:localhost:3306
This command says, "Connect via example.com and establish a tunnel between port 5000 on the local machine and port 3306 [the MySQL server port] on the machine named 'localhost.'" Because localhost is interpreted on example.com as the tunnel is established, localhost is example.com. With the outbound tunnel—formally called a local forward—established, local clients can connect to port 5000 and talk to the MySQL server running on example.com.
This is the general form of tunneling:
$ ssh proxyhostlocalport:targethost:targetport
Here, proxyhost is a machine you can access via SSH and one that has a network connection (not via SSH) to targethost . localport is a non-privileged port (any unused port above 1024) on your local system, and targetport is the port of the service you want to connect to.
The previous command tunnels out from your machine to the outside world. You can also use SSH to tunnel in, or connect to your local system from the outside world. This is the general form of an inbound tunnel:
$ ssh user@proxyhost -R proxyport:targethosttargetport
When establishing an inbound tunnel—formally called a remote forward—the roles of proxyhost and targethost are reversed: The target is your local machine, and the proxy is the remote machine. user is your login on the proxy. This command provides a concrete example:
$ ssh [email protected] -R 8080:localhost:80
The command reads, "Connect to example.com as joe, and connect the remote port 8080 to local port 80." This command gives users on example.com a tunnel to Joe's machine. A remote user can connect to 8080 to hit the Web server on Joe's machine.
In addition to -L and -R for local and remote forwards, respectively, SSH offers -D to create an HTTP proxy on a remote machine. See the SSH man page for the proper syntax.
Rewriting with history
If you spend a lot of time at the shell prompt, recording shell history can save time and typing. But there are a few annoyances with history, if left unmodified: History records duplicate commands, and multiple shell instances can clobber each other's history. Both complications are easily overcome. Add two lines to your .bashrc:
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth shopt -s histappend
The first line removes consecutive duplicate commands from your shell history. If you want to remove all duplicates independent of sequence, change ignoreboth to erasedups . The second line appends a shell's history to your history file when the shell exits. By default, the Bash history file is named (yes, a dot file) ~/~/.bash_history. You can change its location by setting (yes, an environment variable) HISTFILE. If you want to save a shell's most recent 10,000 commands in a history file with 100,000 entries, add export HISTSIZE=10000 HISTFILESIZE=100000 to your shell startup file. To see a shell's history, type history at any prompt.
Saving a history of commands is of little use if you cannot recall it. That's the purpose of the shell ! , or bang, operator:
!! ("bang bang") repeats the last command in its entirety.
("bang bang") repeats the last command in its entirety. !:0 is the name of the previous command.
is the name of the previous command. !^ is the first argument of the previous command. !:2 , !:3 , and so on, ending with !$ are the second, third, and eventually the last argument of the previous command.
is the first argument of the previous command. , , and so on, ending with are the second, third, and eventually the last argument of the previous command. !* is all the arguments of the last command, except the command name.
is all the arguments of the last command, except the command name. !n repeats the command numbered n in history.

At Inspirefest 2017, Intel’s David Moloney spoke of how AI will spark a revolution like no other, but humans pose the biggest risk to its future.
One of Ireland’s brightest stars in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) took to the stage at Inspirefest 2017 to offer a prophetic vision of an incredible future, but one that could also easily go wrong if we, as a society, don’t get a few things right first.
It has been a year since David Moloney, co-founder of Movidius, joined Intel following the Silicon Valley giant’s acquisition of the Irish company, whose chips powered many of Google’s AI technologies.
Speaking on stage, Moloney paraphrased one of the world’s leading AI researchers, Andrew Ng, who said that AI will bring a revolution in society as great as the introduction of electricity in the latter half of the 19th century.
“To be honest, he’s not exaggerating, but I think it’s far more important than that,” Moloney said.
“They say that if technology is sufficiently advanced, it should be indistinguishable from magic.”
‘Magical’ technologies
One of these ‘magical’ technologies he cited was the growth of drones powered by AI developed at DJI, which could – at a bit of a stretch – draw a comparison with the visual trickery of levitation.
Unlike the drones popular today and over the past few years, DJI’s models are able to effectively manage their own movement without needing any input from a human pilot below, something Moloney said was an example of the “harbinger to come”.
However, underneath the many benefits AI brings lies the fear that it will be poorly led by the humans that create it – a fear Siliconrepublic.com readers would have heard before from researchers such as Barry O’Sullivan and Andrew Moore.
While it is supposed to be a clean slate, AI still needs to be programmed to churn through data in a particular way, and sometimes this process can be unintentionally skewed, leading to the “coded gaze” coined by programmer Joy Buolamwini.
People are scarier than robots
For Moloney, the ‘robot takeover’ commonly referred to is not his biggest concern.
“What scares me is not robots, what scares me is people,” he said.
“The real [purpose] for all of us, in terms of creating machines and systems to serve us better, is to eliminate bias.” He later added that it poses the “single greatest challenge facing us”, with diversity as an ally.
As he went on to explain, AI at this point in time is a simple entity where data is inputted and outputted in the same way, and will repeat mistakes built into its programming. These errors could not only hurt a company, but also damage people’s lives if they occur in a system such as healthcare.
Despite these challenges, Moloney thinks AI offers the best chance for people from diverse backgrounds to get ahead of the bell curve when it comes to the latest technology, and joining now will help us sow the seeds for a brighter future.
“AI is going to affect everything,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for people who maybe haven’t been in the workforce … as there are a huge number of resources available online on deep learning and there’s even talk of an AI master’s degree online for those currently in a job.”

We'd got rather used to positive Aston Martin news recently, what with the Cygnet's demise and the arrival of exciting products such as the
But the jolly mood has been subdued rather by Autocar's news that Aston recorded a £24.9m loss in 2012. You can read the full story on it here, but a predictably large portion of the blame has been attributed to the recession. Aston has also rather ambiguously stated its revenues were affected by 'vehicle launches in the fourth quarter [of 2012]'.
It's therefore unclear whether this means Aston's own launches (see the Vanquish in November 2012) or those of its rivals; the Bentley Continental GT Speed, for example, arrived in October last year.
Either way, the news is rather disappointing, and hopefully a situation that can be rectified through the AMG collaboration. Read more about the German side of that deal in our interview with outgoing AMG boss Ola Kallenius. On a more positive note, Dan is driving the V12 Vantage S and the Vanquish Volante next week. In America. What was that about expensive vehicle launches?

INDIANAPOLIS -- Cumberland Police will recommend charges be filed in the shooting death of a Cumberland 10-year-old, Call 6 Investigates has learned.
Anthony Harmon, Jr. was shot and killed around 4:00 p.m. last Friday at a home on Wickerwood Drive in Cumberland.
PREVIOUS | Child shot and killed in Cumberland
Police tell RTV6 that they believe this was not an accidental shooting, and that the prime suspect is a juvenile. Police wouldn’t say how old the suspect is or their relationship to the victim.
There were reportedly several juveniles but no adults in the home at the time of the shooting.
Police say this is a “very complicated” case.
Editor's note: Police initially said the victim was 9 years old, but the Marion County Coroner's Office said he was 10
years old. | positive |
How to build a DIY sous vide water bath for £25 in 25 minutes Cooking sous vide can revolutionise the way you think about food but commercial water baths are expensive. For mere pocket money, you can throw together a DIY sous vide that does the job better than some off-the-shelf units. It’s time to start cooking like the professionals.
This is what we’re building today. It’s really just a temperature-regulated power socket with a hotplate plugged into it but the result is a water bath accurate to ~0.5°C that’s going to change food forever.
Cooking sous vide means being able to keep things at their optimum temperatures for the optimum time. You vacuum-pack your food, stick it in the water bath and some time later your food is perfectly cooked. And results are completely reproducible. You also get to open the door to the majesty of “secondary cuts” that can benefit from much slower cooking than consumer kitchen appliances allow for. It unlocks a world of possibilities, flavours and textures previously only available at good restaurants.
It also makes kitchen workflow much easier. For perfect food in a frying pan you have ±60 seconds leeway. In a water bath, you can let your food sit around for another 60 minutes if you need to do something else. It makes entertaining for groups much, much easier.
There are more and more consumer sous vides every month. You may have already seen the polished Sous Vide Supreme (starting at around £250). There are also newer similar fixed bath units one from Andrew James currently £99.99 and the other from VonShef for £91.99. These fixed bath units have one thing in common: they take up significant amounts of space and you’re limited to the size of the bath.
This is why mine is better. It’s easy to throw in a draw and the bath size is limited only by the size of the pot you want to use. It can be anything from a small saucepan through to a 40l+ commercial stock pot.
Kickstarter has hosted more than a couple of submersible heating circulators like the Nomiku, Anova and Sansaire and while they’re cheaper than the top-end baths, they’re still around $250 and with no indication on UK availability or pricing.
Still too expensive? What about £23.37 (plus tools)?
Here are the ingredients for my 15-month battle-tested sous vide. The links are to the the exact items as I ordered them. There may be cheaper available. Most of these items are available with Prime delivery but at twice the price (typical).
The components linked below are for a UK build using 220-240V AC. Other count. Other EU residents will be able to mostly copy this (you’ll just want a different extension and hotplate). US residents will need to change to a 110V AC STC-1000 and 110V hotplate too.
This is the most important bit. The one I’m linking to is the one I used which was completely different from the pictures on Amazon. Nevertheless, its reviews are all still positive and it’s a steal at £8.77.
What complicates things is that there are a number of clones that all look exactly the same at the front but have different configurations of relays and wiring at the back. I have included a wiring diagram later on so if yours comes and it’s different, do not follow my wiring instructions. Reconfigure or ask for help.
The hackers out there might be wondering why we’re taking the easy route here. Why are we relying on a silly aquarium controller when we could use a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino or even a full Ubuntu desktop? Well you can, but between the relay and the thermometer, you’ve probably already spent more than £8.77…
You could skip one altogether and hardwire your hotplate into the controller but I think for just £5.70, you’ll appreciate the flexibility this gives you. Don’t cheap out and get anything less than than one rated for 13A though.
I would also avoid multi-gang extensions as you’ll only be tempted to plug something else in there and that could overload the 10A relays in the STC-1000.
Don’t go overboard here. The relays are rated for 10A@220VAC. That’s the bottleneck so don’t get a massive induction hotplate. This one for £8.90 is more than enough.
As you’ll find out eventually, if you only ever cook in 10 litres of water or less, you could probably get by with something much wussier. My hotplate rarely goes above its #2 setting (that’s 2 of 6). More on this later.
Tools (that you probably already own)
For this you’ll need screwdrivers in size 0 phillips and size 3 flat, and a crimp and some crimping pliers and some wire-strippers. My crimping pliers are also strippers.
The pictured screwdrivers are just my favourites. I bought a crimping kit which came with a couple of screwdrivers. It’s currently £16.50 so you can probably get much cheaper alternatives at your local DIY shop.
How to wire up the STC -1000
ELECTRICITY WARNING! A basic minimum understanding and respect for electricity is required to safely proceed. If you’re not fit or technically able enough to do this, don’t follow this tutorial. Get an able friend to build one for you or ask somebody to mentor you through it and watch you work.
Anyway, we’re aiming for something like the following diagram. The big grey box is the STC-1000 as if you were looking at the back of it with its cover removed. There should be a wiring diagram on top of the unit. If that looks significantly at odds with mine, either adjust, ask for help, or get a different controller.
Brown is live, blue is neutral and green is earth. We’re going to daisy-chain the device live (#2) to the relay input (#5) and merge the socket neutral into the device neutral (#1). We could do this on an external terminal block (or using these fancy Wago three-way terminals) but there’s just about enough room for two 2.5mm 13A cables in the back of these terminals.
We’ll start by cutting the extension cord in half and stripping the white, outer flex from the cable. From the male plug end we want to remove ~50mm (it can be less but it gets more fiddly) and from the female socket end, about three times that. Be really careful when you’re doing this. If you cut through the internal core insulation, you’ll want to cut it all back and strip further up the wire. You can only make that mistake a certain number of times before you need a new extension.
Strip the ends of the plug end by around ~6mm, and strip the socket ends. DO NOT TWIST THE ENDS YET!
We’re going to need a jumper to go between #2 and #5 to feed the relay power. Cut a good 100mm from the long socket end live wire. Use your own discretion. Make sure it will effectively bridge the two terminals. Strip the two new cut ends too.
You should have something like this photo.
Take the live of your plug end and your bridge piece and twist them together (like this) and then put the joined cable in #2. Tighten the terminal. Then twist up the other end of the bridge and secure that in #5.
Take both neutral wires and twist them together and secure them in #1. Like this.
Finally your earth might seem too long so you can trim from the socket end and crimp it onto the shorter plug end. There’s no earth on the STC-1000 but if you’re putting this in a metal case, I would suggest earthing that into your crimp.
This is what the back of your STC-1000 should look like now.
Now we just need to wire in the sensor to #3&4 and put the rear protector on. Now you have a fully wired STC-1000.
Now this shouldn’t come anywhere near any water but if you wanted to further insulate the STC-1000 and your wiring, now a good time. You can buy all sorts of electrical and hobby boxes. I’ve skipped this step (mainly because it’s a load of extra expense and hassle) but if you want a professional looking unit, here’s your chance.
Calibrating your setup
You don’t want to throw a £20 bit of meat in this thing yet. There are a number of factors that can mean the temperature set in the STC-1000 isn’t the temperature your food is going to spend most of its time at. It’ll probably be hotter so while it’s probably not going to kill you, it does mean your food might not be as tender as you’d hoped for.
These factors are especially important for extra-long cooks.
The fix for all of this is simple enough. You just need to test your machine in the setup you’re going to cook with. In our case we almost always use a 10l stock-pot. It’s fairly thin which amongst other things, means it doesn’t store up heat too much. Le Creusets are nice but their heat distribution properties can introduce a lag between the hotplate generating enough heat and it reaching the sensor.
Get a good, quick-to-read thermometer, fill your pot to the level you’d cook with, dangle the sensor into the middle of the water and test things out.
The STC-1000 supports sensor calibration through its menu system so with the hotplate unplugged just compare the sensor’s reading to that of the thermometer. Adjust your STC-1000 until accurate.
Now for heat-tests. Does the water get too hot, too fast? Or never hot enough? Tune the hotplate’s heat setting. I have mine set on 2-of-6 in order to keep ~8l of water @ 63.5°C (for perfect chicken).
Cooking in a sous vide… Hang on, where’s the vide?
The more astute amongst you will have noticed that sous vide literally translates as under vacuum. We’ve made a water bath but still need something to seal your food so that everything at the start of the cook is still there at the end of the cook.
You have a few options here, but the best performing is probably a external vacuum sealer. I have a Sous Vide Supreme branded one. You put your food in channelled bags, put one end in the machine and it sucks the air out before sealing it. They’re not good for sealing liquids because the liquids are sucked up through the bag’s channels.
A chamber vacuum sealer removes as much air from the entire chamber (including the open bag) before sealing the bag shut and returning the pressure. These are furiously expensive and noisy machines that take up tons of space but they will give you the very best outcome and work perfectly fine with liquids. You can also use the for degassing liquids (for clear gels, etc).
There are other options like the ThriftyVac or the “submersion technique” but these offer lower or no vacuum and you need to be really careful about what plastic you use. Many food bags are unsuitable for heating. Using cheap plastic bags can result in a lovely petrochemical and plasticiser infusion. Nobody wants that.
Perhaps the cheapest option is finding a good butcher. You should do that anyway. Ours is more than happy to season and chamber-vac-seal meat bought from them. This is definitely worth a shot before you buy more machinery to do this. Get a nice big steak get them to pepper it and seal it up for you.
What temperature and how long?
So you’ve got some meat and it’s been sealed up. Now you need to set your STC-1000 to the correct temperature. The Sous Vide Supreme cooking recommendations give a good idea about safe cooking temperatures and durations. Print out the PDF and stick it on your kitchen wall.
But that’s it. Now it’s over to you. I am somebody who likes to experiment but I would strongly suggest cooking by numbers to begin with. Use others’ temperatures and durations. Once you’ve had a few perfect steaks, you can stretch yourself. Try some 72-hour beef ribs, or perhaps a cardiac-arresting 36-hour porchetta.
If you adore cookbooks, check the reviews before you buy one on sous vide. Some of them seem more like photo albums than instructional guides. As ever, there are some great free websites for inspiration and recipes:
I’m going to leave you with a picture of tonight’s dinner but if you’ve got any questions or comments, just let me know. That includes great recipes. I always like to try something new. | positive |
Russian senators are going to ask President Vladimir Putin to consider recalling Moscow’s Ambassador to the US following President Barack Obama’s “aggressive” comments on the situation in Ukraine, the speaker of the chamber said.
The upper house of the Russian parliament, the Federation Council, has ordered the committee on international affairs to apply to Putin and ask him to recall Moscow’s ambassador to the US, council speaker Valentina Matvienko said.
“The president will consider the appeal and make a decision,” she said.
The initiative was put forward by the Federation Council’s vice speaker, Yury Vorobiev, who referred to the President Barack Obama’s speech Friday, in which he said that Russia would have to pay for its policies in Ukraine. In Vorobiev’s opinion, Obama “crossed the red line and insulted the Russian people” and his words were a “direct threat.”
Senator Vyacheslav Shtyrov welcomed the idea, saying that Ukrainian events are the result of work which was carried out “with the participation of foreign states” and the US played an important role in it. He noted that some American officials openly admit that they “invested a lot of money to create such a situation.”
So far, no decisions have been made on the matter, said the Kremlin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. The proposal made by the senators is their opinion, Peskov pointed out.
“Valentina Matvienko made a good point saying that the Federation Council expressed its opinion and made an appeal to the president. But it is up to the head of state to make a decision on the issue,” Peskov said.
According to the head of the State Duma committee for CIS and compatriots, Leonid Slutsky, the Russian ambassador may be recalled to Moscow for consultations.
“In the current situation we are not talking about breaking or suspending diplomatic relations. The Ambassador might be temporarily recalled for consultations, while the format is something for the Russian President and the Foreign Ministry to decide on,” Slutsky told Rossiya 24 TV channel.
“This should be a balanced decision that would demonstrate to the USA that Russia does understand that events in Ukraine are of a nature of a …geopolitical battle, we understand where the authors of these actions are, we are aware of that,” the MP said.
On Friday, Obama warned Russia against Ukraine intervention.
“The United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine,” he said.
In his address from the White House, Obama expressed his nation’s “concerns” about “reports” of “military movements” inside Ukraine. Obama also stated that it was up to Ukrainian people to determine their own future as the situation “remains very fluid.”
The remarks came as Moscow’s UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin said that any movements of Russian military within the Autonomous Republic Crimea were in line with the existing arrangements with Ukraine on the deployment of military assets in the former Soviet republic.
“We have an arrangement with Ukraine about the stationing of the Russian Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol and we are acting within the framework of that agreement,” Churkin told reporters after a private meeting of the UN Security Council.
Churkin also reminded that is was the pro-Maidan forces who broke the EU-brokered agreement and forced Viktor Yanukovich to leave the country.
“Legal aspects of declaring him to be not president any longer are very questionable,” Churkin said. “What happened there is that immediately after this agreement was signed – not just by President Yanukovich and opposition leaders but the signatures were fixed by the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Poland, supported by the European Union – immediately there were threats that they will be storming the Presidential residence unless he resigns by 10am the next morning. My understanding is that is what caused him to leave the city. And that of course was not something which was envisaged in the agreement. That was a clear breach of that agreement.”
The document to settle the Ukrainian political crisis was signed on February 21 and certified by the foreign ministers of Germany, Poland and France. | positive |

The UN Security Council (UNSC) has agreed on the need to take corresponding steps should North Korea continue to launch ballistic missiles.
The council reached the agreement on Tuesday after its committee that monitors sanctions on North Korea gave a briefing on its activities over the past three months, as well as current situations in the North.
According to officials who attended Tuesday’s briefing, the council reaffirmed that the North’s latest ballistic missile launches are a violation of UNSC resolutions and repeated its concerns.
The officials said most council member states stressed the need for the North to observe UNSC resolutions.
At the briefing, the sanctions committee noted that South Korea, the U.S., Britain and France recently requested for a UN-level investigation on the North’s missile launches.
Some council members also stressed the need for the UN to continuously pay close attention to the North’s human rights situation. The call has raised the possibility that the issue will become a key topic at this year’s UN General Assembly set to open next month.
The council also said the sanctions committee’s move to impose sanctions on the Chongchongang Shipping Company was an appropriate move. The shipping company is the operator of the Chong Chon Gang, which was detained by Panamanian authorities last July after it tried to cross the Panama Canal loaded with undeclared weapons.

It’s a historic moment on my blog: Martina from KetoDietApp has written my first ever guest post. She is a real guru in developing low-carb paleo-friendly recipes and sharing information about healthy eating and living. Now, she has created something really delicious for you! Martina, the stage is yours:
If you follow a ketogenic diet plan, you probably know that the main source of energy should come from fat. Fat bombs are easy snacks high in healthy fats and very low in carbs and protein. They are great for those who find it difficult to include more healthy fats in their diet.
I’ve made many recipes for fat bombs over the last few months. I love using them as quick snacks on my “active” days when I exercise. Fat bombs are also ideal for the fat fast!
These taste just like strawberry cheesecake ice-cream and have a very creamy texture. If you are dairy intolerant, try coconut milk instead of cream cheese and coconut oil instead of butter. Although I haven’t tried this dairy-free version, I’m sure that creamed coconut milk and coconut oil works equally well.
Tips for making the fat bombs
Place the cream cheese and butter cut into small pieces in to a mixing bowl. Leave at room temperature for 30–60 minutes until softened. Make sure the butter is softened, otherwise it will be difficult to mix and achieve a smooth texture. Do not microwave the butter – the mixture needs to stay firm.
Meanwhile, wash the strawberries and remove the green parts. Place them into a bowl and mash using a fork or place in a blender for a smooth texture.
Add the powdered erythritol (or stevia), vanilla extract and mix well. Before you mix the strawberries with the remaining ingredients, make sure they have reached room temperature.
Add to the bowl with softened butter and cream cheese.
Use a hand whisk or food processor and mix until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into small muffin silicon molds or candy molds. Place in the freezer for about 2 hours or until set.
When done, unmold the fat bombs and place into a container. Keep in the freezer and enjoy any time!

About Me
Hi everybody! My name is Martina and I live in the UK. I love food, science, photography and creating new recipes. I am a firm believer of low-carb living and regular exercise. As a science geek, I base my views on valid research and I have first-hand experience of what it is to be on a low-carb diet. Both are reflected on my blog, in my apps and book.
I started eating low-carb in 2011, shortly after I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. Since then, I‘ve been trying to figure out what works best for me and discovered some of the great benefits of low-carb eating. Following a low-carb, paleo-friendly diet plan helps me maintain a healthy weight while eating real food. I believe that true paleo is great, however if your goal is to lose weight, paleo is often not enough.
My mission is to help you reach your goals, whether it’s your dream weight or simply eating healthy food. Come and say hi on my blog!

Hillary’s ‘Resistance’ PAC Spends 4 Mos. Collecting Donations – Has Yet to Give a Dime to the Cause
Hillary Clinton just won’t go away.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Hillary Clinton launched her new PAC ‘Onward Together’ in May with the motto “Resist, insist, persist, enlist.” (whatever that means).
Since Hillary Clinton can no longer sell influence and power in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation, she has to come up with new and exciting ways to fleece the sheep.
Two-time loser (3 times if you include the re-count) Hillary has been begging for donations to fund ‘the resistance’ since May by asking for donations on her site (starting at $5.00) and she has yet to donate a dime to the cause.
The Onward Together website has only two pages. A landing page and a donation page.
An email signed by Hillary Clinton asking supporters for MORE MONEY last week attempted to explain away her lack of action as of late. “You may not have heard much about the work we’re doing at Onward Together. That’s because we’re working behind the scene to fund, support, and amplify the work of the groups we’re supporting. We’re not the story: they are.”
Screenshot of the email provided by The Daily Caller:
The Daily Caller also reached out to the five political groups Hillary said she would be partnering with: Indivisible, Swing Left, Color of Change, Emerge America and Run for Something. None of the groups would confirm that Onward Together has financially supported them.
“Onward Together has not given any financial support to us,” Helen Kalla, an Indivisible spokesperson, wrote in an email. Kalla added that Clinton’s group has “been amplifying and highlighting our work through their digital networks,” which she explained has consisted of “retweeting [Indivisible], and they’ve highlighted our work via their emails to their list too.” None of the other four groups would confirm that Onward Together has supported their work, either financially or otherwise.
Hillary, who long during the campaign trail condemned “dark-money” Super-PACs, has funneled over 800K from her Campaign over to one of these very same outfits. It has been revealed that the failed presidential candidate’s Super-PAC, “Onward Together”, is heavily backing “resistance” and Alt-Left extremist groups such as ANTIFA.
In building investigations, Daily Caller first discovered that Hillary transferred a mass sum of money from her campaign over to Onward Together:
Clinton transferred $800,000 from her failed 2016 presidential campaign to Onward Together shortly before announcing the group’s launch in May, documents the campaign filed with the FEC reveal.
Because Hillary has never paid for any of her crimes spanning over decades, she is now able to operate a shadowy PAC which funds violent alt-left domestic terrorist groups. Amazing. | positive |

Blue Monday - Denise 526 Followers 45 Following Denise Blue Monday 10:22 pm 21 December 2013 This had such a promising start that I really thought that this would be the next series that I would fall in love with. Unfortunately this fell quite short of that. I could never really find myself interested in following the main character Freida. She just felt too cold to me. We never really get to read much about her past and it just seems like there are things in her past that have made her the way she is. I also felt that much of the book's events were predictable. There was one main twist that I didn't guess but I guessed everything else way before it happened. That lessened my interest in this book and made it seem to drag on. There just didn't seem to be anything special about this book and I won't be continuing on with the series.

Solar Energy News Main Navigation Solar Energy Fund Solar Energy Companies Solar Energy News Sitemap Fiscal Network About Us Contact Us Solar Energy Fund News Solar Energy Investments on Solar Energy Fund Let the sun pay your energy bills The energy bills required to pay for the purpose of heating water for various domestic and recreational purposes will be partly, if not wholly paid by sun when you make decision to install solar water heater panels. They are energy efficient and they result in substantial savings due to the reduction in energy bills. The hot water facility is the major energy system. Active and Passive system are the two basic systems of solar water heating. Passive consumer within most households. Thus its operation is attributed to the greater energy cost. The use of solar energy for providing some portion of the hot water in demand can help saving in quite few hundreds of dollars. The integration of solar hot water boiler with the conservative and traditional water boilers powered either with gas or electric current can help in significant savings. Even though the solar boiler are capable of functioning on its own, for much larger demand of hot water, the solar arrangement may not be enough. For this, it can be used in conjunction with other system of water boiling. Solar boilers can efficiently be used to preheat water for other conservative water boilers, thus helping to deduce the energy bills dramatically. Solar boilers are more practical in places where the temperature doesn't fall under freezing point especially in winter. With this exception, they are suitable for use in any other climatic condition. In places of colder climatic condition, an indirect method of heating water can be adopted, which necessarily involves prevention of water to be exposed in the freezing temperatures. This method uses certain fluid which is capable of resisting the freezing. The solar panel arrangement is such made that the fluid circulates through the pipes placed underneath the panel which when gets heated, heats the water in the tank. In southern climates, the water can itself flow thorough the pipes and gets directly heated, with the help of solar panels installation, which is referred as direct system depends upon the phenomenon if gravity and the physics with which water flow from higher temperature to cold temperature. Passive system is a very simple system which demands lesser maintenance requirement. With all the parts available in a hardware shop nearby, these simple systems could be built by own. In Active systems, for circulating the water pumps are required. Either solar power or the home powering electric systems can be used for operation for pumps. But there is necessity of storage tank to hold the hot water heated with solar panels.On hot and sunny days, there is no necessity of electrical or fuel backup for water heating, as the abundance of intense sunlight will by itself be able to heat the water at greater efficiency. But during the colder days when the intensity of sunlight is weaker there may be necessity of electrical and fuel back up. In this case, the solar energy shall be used for preheating water before it is passed into the conventional water boilers. As the preheated water consumes lesser energy to rise to proper temperature, it results in substantial saving of energy consumption. The alternative energy system provides a huge playground for curious minded people to play with technology. When you contemplate into it, you will witness multiple possibilities, when you don't think of it you will just become a consumer of technology. Request for European Solar Developers I invite investors, economists, politicians, political scientists, clergy, philosophers, historians, archaeologists, ethnographers, researchers of language, arts, cultures and religions, sociologists, theater scientists, artists, craftsmen, journalists and other people of good will to contribute to the project. The construction of solar-energy power plant is planned for the investors; other technological innovations will be introduced too; but it will happen without mixing the style and idea of the ancient village with the technological innovations. Everything will be used to let the object keep self-sustained without assistance. It is planned to reconstruct these periods in Troškuciai: I-IVc. AD. -the Roman period IX-XII c.AD.- the Curonian-Vikings period XVI-XVIII c. AD.the period of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania XIX-XX c.(up to 1953) Each period will not be reconstructed in one building or area, they will be strictly separated from each other in accordance with the recommendations by historians and other experts. But it will be easily to get from one place to another. Any reconstruction will be made on the basis of information compiled of historical and archaeological knowledge in the surrounding areas: Daubariai, Jautakiai, Kalnenai, Zastauciai, Viekšniai, Tirkšliai, Mažeikiai, and other areas in range of 40 km, as well as the historical material of Troškuciai. I remind everyone that Troškuciai was first mentioned 1721-08-07, in the inventory of Tirkšliai town and parish (St. Petersburg was founded 1703-05-27). Living archaeological object creates a lot of jobs and is efficient execution of public works, together with training of new crafts, professions, and the possibility to get acquainted with one’s history and culture. This process is in progress in other countries, thus, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. By the way, I have a request in advance to all who wish to participate in the project- you will have to give up your harmful habits or reduce them to a minimum. I invite all those willing and able to teach, to share their experience with others about Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and older times, approaching the culture, history, folklore, crafts, arts, customs, traditions in the future cultural, culinary heritage, arts and crafts center. You will be able to teach under natural, our ancestors-specific conditions. If you think that you are able to teach others, you have your own training program, and enthusiasms, then I look forward to your suggestions and opinions. We will agree with you on your living and other conditions. A library will function next to the center. I would like to ask large libraries- if you have written off books (the books can be started to rip, we will bend them), tell us and we will take them or send the books to the address: Lithuania Mažeikiu r. Troškuciu village.LT-89260, Darius Sabaliauskas. I am also looking forward to suggestions from publishing houses to acquire various literature , of course, priority is given to books or other publications about Lithuanian culture, history, folklore, traditions, customs; other types of literature are welcome too, not only in the Lithuanian language; children books as well. Maybe there would be people of good will who could give us unnecessary publications, books and other printings. I am grateful to all those who have already brought the books for the future library. I invite all the people who work with wood, metal, leather, clay, other natural materials; and those who spin, knit, sew, prepare food; those doing everything that is related to our ancestors’ experience, and those interested in Lithuanian folklore and folk medicine. We will inform about you and your works on the website with your contacts in order to allow people to find you. I look forward to your work photos and short descriptions of your creative activity. In particular, I invite those who work modest and hidden- let others know what nice works you perform. There are only two conditions – all works have to be related to the experience of our nation and our ancestors; no copies of the alien cultures are allowed and it should be handicraft, without the use of the equipment of the second half of the 20th century. At once I would like to invite everyone to express opinion, to write a short article or give a link to the online storage location. Each reconstruction of any period must be as accurate as possible. Any reconstruction should reflect clothing, footwear, food, place of residence, used tools, utensils, furniture of the selected period, and what books had been read, if there had been any. What crafts dominated, what artistic trends existed then, in the period you are going to reconstruct or describe. A visitor to each reconstructed period must be acquainted with dominating religions of the period, without distinction, which was better or worse: what were the relations among religions, what were the political situation, culture, and the worldview of every caste of the period chosen. Myths, fairy stories, legends, as well as customs, traditions, have to be introduced, since each country, each village, each town have their own stories and their own traditions. Everything has to be reflected what had been in the territory of Lithuania, in the neighborhood and in the world, our relation with the environment, without diminishing any of periods, but introducing all sides- good and bad as well. When writing, I request you as much as possible to follow the scientific point of view, refer to several sources; when sending the sources of material, please indicate if the elders will be questioned, and give their names and location. I suggest to try to rebuild these periods in your homesteads, villages, towns, and relate everything to the history of your surroundings, to the archeological findings and the date of mentioning in written sources: up to I century AD I century AD up to V century AD V century AD up to the end of the X century AD XI century AD up to the end of the XIII century AD XIV century AD up to the end of the XVI century AD XVII century AD up to 1795 1795 up to 1883 1883 up to 1918 1918 up to 1940 1940 up to1945 1945 up to 1956 1956 up to 1982 1982 up to 1990 Sincerely, Darius Sabaliauskas +37067686632 www.troskuciai.lt Solar Energy Fund Home Solar Energy Fund Home Solar Energy Fund Home Seeing out new methods of utilizing solar power and other alternative and renewable energy solutions is not just good business, but beneficial to our planet and eco system.

SANTIAGO, Chile, July 31 (UPI) -- Chilean President Sebastian Pinera is under fire for allowing the country's counter-terrorism legislation to be used against indigenous protesters fighting for ancestral land rights.
U.N. special rapporteur Ben Emmerson cited the alleged abuse in comments after a recent visit to Chile, including southern areas inhabited by the country's Mapuche communities.
"The anti-terrorist legislation has been used in a way that discriminates against the Mapuche," Emmerson, a British international lawyer, told the Santiago Times.
"It has been applied in a confusing and arbitrary way, which has turned into a real injustice that has impaired the right to a fair trial. And it has been perceived as stigmatizing and delegitimizing of the Mapuche territorial demands and protests," Emmerson said.
RELATED Pinera cash handout seen as a vote ploy
Violence during Mapuche protests escalated in 2012 with a string of arson attacks, including one that killed an elderly couple. The deaths shocked Chileans and raised questions about Pinera's handling of the dispute and "tough dictatorship-era measures" to curb violence, the newspaper said.
Emmerson is the U.N.'s Special Rapporteur on Counter Terrorism and Human Rights and reports annually to the U.N. General Assembly, the U.N. Human Rights Council and other entities established by the Security Council. He also conducts country visits and provides technical and other advice to U.N. member states.
Emmerson said Chilean prosecutors have enough legislation at their disposal to investigate and punish crimes without the need to use terrorism legislation from Gen. Augusto Pinochet's 1973-90 dictatorship.
RELATED Bachelet to seek another term as president
He warned a volatile situation in southern Chile's Araucania and Bio Bio regions could turn into a major regional conflict.
Advocacy groups cited instances of police brutality including raids on Mapuche homes and use of rubber bullets on women and children.
So far there hasn't been a government response to Emmerson's comments and his call for a government strategy to defuse the crisis and speed up return of ancestral lands to Mapuche, Chile's largest indigenous minority.
RELATED Pinera losing Chilean middle class support
Critics say successive governments' economic development programs have passed by the Mapuche and led to increasing radicalization of groups in the community.
A radical Mapuche group occupied and burned farms and lumber trucks during protests last year. Werner Luchsinger, 75, and wife, Vivian Mackay, 69, were killed when attackers torched their home in the indigenous area. The incident is yet to be fully investigated.
U.N. agencies called for a regular dialogue, which has yet to materialize. Emmerson said both the Carabineros uniformed police force and prosecutors failed to perform their roles. "Certain local public prosecutors have adopted an unacceptable stance of institutional indifference to the commission of these crimes," he said.

The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant with her second child, Kensington Palace has announced.
The Duchess and the Duke of Cambridge were "very pleased to announce" the happy news, their spokesman said.
It means Prince George will have a brother or sister in the spring of 2015. The new baby will replace Prince Harry as the fourth in line to the throne.
As with her first pregnancy, the Duchess is suffering from pregnancy sickness, for which she is being treated at her home in Kensington Palace.
The Duchess has not yet reached the 12-week stage of her pregnancy, but the couple took the "difficult decision" to announce the pregnancy now because they did not think they could keep it under wraps.
She has cancelled a planned visit to Oxford today, where she and the Duke were due to open the Dickson Poon University of Oxford China Centre Building. The Duke will instead attend on his own.
The Queen and members of both the Duke and Duchess's families are "delighted" with the news, Kensington Palace said.
David Cameron was among the first to congratulate the couple, saying: "Many congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. I'm delighted by the happy news that they're expecting another baby."
The Duchess is due to carry out her first solo foreign tour later this month, with a two-day visit to Malta, which is now be in doubt because of her sickness.
She is also scheduled to be among the guests at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games in London on Wednesday evening, and is due to attend the Games on Thursday.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said the Duchess's attendance at future events would be decided on a "case by case" basis.
Rumours that a second royal baby might not be too far off surfaced during the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's overseas tour to New Zealand and Australia.
When the Duke was presented with a lace shawl for Prince George in Wellington in April, he told its creator Cynthia Read "You might have to make another one soon", prompting the suggestion that a little brother or sister for George was on the cards.
Mrs Read revealed: "The way William said it was like he was dropping a hint, letting me in on a secret."
The couple may be hoping the addition to their family is a girl, as the Duchess disclosed before Prince George was born that she was hoping for a son and the Duke wanted a daughter. | positive |

A Missouri woman has claimed she is fighting a David-and-Goliath battle with the state of Illinois over her son, and she fears even when he turns 18 in two weeks, Illinois will still insist on custody.
It all began in the Spring 2014. Michelle Rider, of Kansas City, said she brought her teenage son to Chicago for medical treatment.
At age 4, her son was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition where tumors develop on his nerves, ultimately forcing doctors to amputate one of his legs. During treatment at Lurie Children’s Hospital last year, hospital staff concluded that Michelle Rider had Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy. According to the National Institutes of Health, it is a mental disorder in which a parent or caretaker makes up fake symptoms, or causes real symptoms, to make it appear his or her child is ill.
Rider denied she has Munchausen.
“If it’s a crime to want the best care for your son, perhaps I’m guilty of that,” she said. “It’s been really hard. It’s been very difficult.” | positive |

We love the DIY Network. We think they provide useful information for homeowners who want to tackle their project themselves. Despite what other professionals think, we like the idea of more people learning wood working and home improvement. We wish more people would take the time to learn a trade, even if it is just a hobby. DIY Network did a great write up on how to do crown moulding we have posted it below, but suggest to everything to check out everything that the DIY Network has to offer. Step 1: Determine Which Type of Crown Moulding to Use Choose which type of style and wood you would like to use for your new project. To purchase hard wood mouldings click here. If you are on a budget you can use MDF mouldings, but do not use them in a kitchen or bathroom. The moisture may ruin the mouldings.
Step 2: Cut the Corners of the Moulding The hardest part of installing crown moulding is cutting the corners. You can’t do it like any other trim pieces because the moulding sits at an angle between the wall and the ceiling (Image 1). Using a coping saw (Image 2) is the easiest way to cut the corners because a coped joint is tighter than a mitered joint. A coping saw is also good for a beginner. Any gap in a coped cut can be easily concealed with a little bit of caulk. Another tool that will make the job easier is a power miter saw (Image 3). It’s accurate and makes a cleaner cut than a plastic miter box.
Step 3: Measure and Mark the Wall Measure the wall for the length of your first piece of moulding . Mark the wall to show the bottom edge of the moulding .
Step 4: Cut the First Measured Piece Once you determine the length, take the moulding to the saw and cut in a straight line at a 90-degree angle — you want both ends of the moulding to butt against the side walls.
Step 5: Cut the Next Piece to Fit an Inside Corner Move the miter saw guide to the 45-degree angle point and set the moulding into place. The edges need to be pressed firmly against the saw table and the vertical side fence. This is the first key to a straight cut and a good fit.
Step 6: Understand How the Pieces Fit Together The second key is not so obvious and can be a bit confusing. The moulding is upside down, meaning the edge against the vertical fence is the bottom of the moulding and the edge against the table is the top of the moulding (think of your table as the ceiling).
Step 7: Cut the Moulding at a 45-Degree Angle With the moulding in the proper position, use a 10-inch saw blade to cut a perfect 45-degree angle. It is also important here to make sure you cut the moulding angle in the right direction: for an inside corner, the bottom of the moulding should be longer than the top part of the moulding ; for an outside corner, the top of the moulding will be longer than the bottom.
Step 8: Cope the Joint When you cope a joint, you scribe the end of one moulding to the face of the other. Darken the front edge with a pencil and then use the coping saw to cut as close to the line as you can. You need to hold your thumb against the side of the blade to guide the start of your cut. Start slowly, so you don’t splinter the delicate edge. Cut at a slight angle. You want to cut off more from the edge of the moulding and you don’t need to cut it all at one time. Cut out small pieces to make creating this coped joint easier.
Step 9: Check the Fit Check the fit against a scrap piece of moulding to reveal any gaps that need to be trimmed. Use the coping saw to cut off the high points.
Step 10: Attach the Moulding to the Wall Once the fit is right, take the moulding to the wall. For a long piece, you’ll need some help holding it. Push the end into the corner, making the fit as tight as possible; attach it to the wall. Use the caulk gun to cover up any gaps in the joint (make sure you’re using paintable caulk). You may need another small piece of moulding to finish out the wall.
Step 11: Make Miter Cuts for the Outside Corners The outside corners should meet exactly (a caulk gun can’t help you much here). Less experienced DIYers may want to paint the crown moulding , since paint and caulking can be used to hide any small mistakes — with stained moulding , it’s much harder to disguise imperfections. | positive |

The Brexit vote has not only exposed deep socioeconomic fractures in British society – it has also invented new ones. Identity politics has taken hold as never before.
Recently an Etonian called me (the daughter of a car mechanic) the elite. Apparently my ethnicity and London upbringing make me the enemy of the population that matters most right now: the white working class. This accusation was a reminder of how false and divisive these new labels are.
I grew up in east London, before it became the cool playground of hipsters it is now. It was a neighbourhood full of white working-class people (including David Beckham); and, while it wasn’t perfect, the process of growing up together, hating the same teachers, dating each other (not David Beckham) and sharing in good times and bad meant that solidarity crossed race lines. Fast-forward 20 years, and I’m now told by Etonians the white working class see me as the enemy. Is this true?
On Tuesday, the Runnymede Trust and CLASS launched a series of essays seeking to examine the legitimacy and implications of this narrative. We conclude that the “white working class” label is not benefiting the white working class, or society more widely, and that many of the assumptions that underlie this narrative are just plain wrong.
Let’s start with the accusation that the white working class are racist. In my essay, co-written with Ellie Mae O’Hagan, I recall the racism I faced at University of Oxford where my fellow students asked me questions such as: ‘Why do black people cause crime?’ The idea that racism is confined to the white working class is ridiculous, and akin to the idea that it is only the poor that commit crimes. After all, it is the white middle class that is in control of the public spending cuts that are disproportionately hitting minority ethnic women, and discriminating against people with African or Muslim names in the job market. Racists and racism exists across society.
Recent analysis from Policy Exchange highlights how using this false depiction of the white working class can lead us into dangerous territory. The authors of this study, David Goodhart and Eric Kaufmann, draw on a small survey of UK and US citizens to tell us that “racial self-interest” is not the same as “racism”, concluding that it is fair for white Britons to defend white identity.
This is flawed logic. We wouldn’t use a “religion’s self-interest” argument to justify Islamic State. Wasn’t “white self-interest” used to legitimise the slave trade? As well as being wrong, these ideas also justify the concerns about immigration on racial grounds, and suggest that our racial identity is our main group attachment. Brexit may leave the UK without a trade deal, but an equally important worry is that it turns back progress on community cohesion.
The second, related myth to dispel is that the working class is all white. A large proportion of the working class – often defined as those in manual or elementary jobs or on low incomes – are from minority ethnic populations.
My mother-in-law, a lunchtime play worker (or a dinner lady if you went to school before 2010), was made redundant alongside all of her colleagues this week. These dinner ladies – who represent the whole spectrum of race – are all in the same boat. Public spending cuts mean they are all losing their jobs, and as a group of women without higher qualifications they are all faced with dead-end, low-paid and insecure work. Why does it help to divide this group when they have so much in common?
This really gets to the root of why the white working class narrative is so problematic. It divides a group that when united and mobilised can be a real force for change.
Take the Living Wage campaign. It was started in 2001 by a group of low-income parents who were struggling to live on minimum-wage jobs, and quickly grew to include churches, mosques and a vast array of local community groups. To date the campaign has lifted an estimated 70,000 families out of working poverty. The white working class and the minority-ethnic working class aren’t enemies – they are companions in a fight against economic inequality.
It’s not hard, then, to see whose agenda dividing the working class is serving – that of unscrupulous bosses, CEOs now earning 386 times the national living wage and the policy-makers who are creating the conditions that allow this to happen. Not for the first in history, working-class people are being used as pawns to maintain privileges at the top.
This endless exercise of putting ourselves in boxes is not helping us to foster a broader and inclusive British identity, nor tackling the real problems that the whole working class face: finding good jobs, decent housing and having access to properly funded public services.
This week saw the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. We’d do well to remember how important language is in sowing seeds of distrust and hate. The “white working class” narrative is leading us down a road of nostalgia for a white Britain. We need to stop it in its tracks. | positive |

The Hoover Institution’s Task Force on National Security and Law has been running an essay series on its blog, The Briefing, “Secrecy and Accountability in the Digital Age.” (Introductory post by Peter Berkowitz, Hoover senior fellow and Task Force chair.) Most of the essays (written by Task Force members, of which I’m one) are about surveillance, big data, NSA, the FISA court, etc. My contribution, by contrast, returns the debate over secrecy, accountability, and oversight issues to where it was before Edward Snowden sent it into an argument over data collection – drones and targeted killing. (Added: Reading some of the comments, please bear in mind that the discussion of accountability and oversight below is about accountability and oversight of drone warfare and targeted killing conducted beyond US borders; it is not about accountability or oversight for the NSA or data collection programs or Edward Snowden.)
It’s a little difficult to recall, frankly, but before Snowden, the most heated national and international debate was about procedures, oversight, and accountability in drone warfare and targeted killing. In part, that’s because the process questions were, for many, a stand-in for campaigning against the programs’ substance. Many critics (including many in the anti-war Left and the Pauline wing of the Republican Party), then and now, regarded
accountability and oversight as a procedural stalking horse for delegitimizing drone warfare as such, and particularly drone programs conducted by the CIA. No process of either targeting or transparency will ever be enough; they will happily take whatever gains are offered by way of transparency as grounds to ask for more. The appetite grows with the eating.
Still, irrespective of strategic political goal, critics are not wrong to “question the adequacy of the accountability mechanisms and oversight of these programs.” I don’t mean that in the sense that the existing mechanisms are inadequate as such or inherently illegitimate; quite the contrary. But legitimacy is a dynamic process in a democracy, and it just is delegitimizing, over time, to have programs that are widely known, even widely supported by the public (as drone warfare is), are discussed extensively by government officials – but with respect to which the government response in any official setting, including the courts, is “neither confirm nor deny.” It undermines public trust to have a democratic government say that it’s not lying to the public, not technically lying, merely because because it refuses comment. The combination of every unofficial and near-official statement saying, x, but then officially saying not-x, not-not-x, not-saying-anything, not-not-saying-anything – is a falsehood, even if a falsehood delivered sotto voce.
Knowingly making a bunch of statements that government – and the public – know can’t all be true, even if no one is actually a falsehood, amounts in combination to a falsehood. It undermines public confidence in processes that necessarily can’t be shared in any detail with the public. It’s one thing if the government neither confirms nor denies events that are mostly secret and which the government has tried to keep secret. But, well, a genuinely public position of what amounts to “irony” – wink-and-nod secrecy, “notional” secrecy – won’t work for a democracy. Say what you mean, mean what you say – but that means that if government says no comment, it really hasn’t said anything, and hasn’t been talking out of the side of its mouth.
Post-2012 election, the administration understood this and thought it was getting its arms around the controversy – always a peculiar idea, since ordinary Americans of both parties overwhelmingly support drone warfare. President Obama delivered a major speech (May 23, 2013, National Defense University) on counterterrorism policy into the future, in which his robust defense of drone warfare and the government’s processes was at its center. One important thing the speech did was acknowledge, within the meaning of the covert action statute, the existence and certain policies of the drone programs. (Lawfare editor-in-chief and Brookings Institution senior fellow Benjamin Wittes and I analyze it closely as Chapter 3 of our book, Speaking the Law: The Obama Administration’s Addresses on National Security Law, appearing serially as online chapters before final hardback publication at the Hoover Institution Press; Chapter 3 can be downloaded as a free pdf here at SSRN.)
Within days of President Obama’s speech, however, Snowden’s stolen documents began to appear in the press, and the result was a remarkable shift of public debate away from targeting processes to the NSA and data collection. Despite the shift in debate, and though a firm defender of drone warfare and targeted killing as a pillar of US “counterterrorism-on-offense,” I argue in my Hoover essay that the structure of accountability and oversight for these programs as “covert actions” under US Code Title 50 (which establishes the CIA, defines “covert action,” and sets out the statutory basics of oversight and accountability) needs some important, though politically quite unlikely, statutory reforms:
Clearly, there is room for certain reforms of secrecy, accountability, and oversight structures, but reform should proceed under two fundamental premises. First, there are legitimate government secrets. Second, accountability and oversight are the responsibility of the political branches alone, not of unelected and unappointed individuals such as Edward Snowden. These two premises are, importantly, not merely claims of politics or national security necessity; they are propositions about legitimacy and its terms. Moreover, this is not simply a call for transparency in the form of more speeches and statements by senior officials, though those have been a vital tool of articulating national security law and its evolution, and of defending its legitimacy. It is about reform at the statutory level — and one might begin with Title 50’s definition of “covert action” as a prelude to oversight processes that flow from it. This might seem a strange starting point to those familiar with the functioning of the covert action statute since it was overhauled following the 1970s-era Church Committee hearings. The statute, at Section 413b(e), defines “covert action” as “activities of the United States Government to influence political, economic, or military conditions abroad, where it is intended that the role of the United States Government will not be apparent or acknowledged publicly” (the definition then lists certain exclusions). Covert actions are subject to official secrecy or at least official non-acknowledgment, on the one hand, but also subject to corresponding official oversight and accountability to Congress on the other. The accountability and oversight process is robust and appears to have worked pretty well over the past 30 years. It ensures that the president has to know and approve the substance of these activities and that senior leadership in Congress will know about them as well. It might not seem obvious that this stands in need of reform, and less still that it ought to be one of the first steps. But three factors come together to create weaknesses in the covert action accountability regime: precision stand-off weapons; increased strategic reliance on discretely targeted counterterrorism uses-of-force that are enabled by new technologies; and the blurring of different kinds of counterterrorism uses-of-force that do not neatly fit into categories of the statutory definition. Most obviously, the existing categories do not adequately address precision weapon technologies in counterterrorism operations. As everyone knows today, these operations have a range of public knowledge about them that includes ‘truly secret’; ‘mostly secret and unacknowledged’; ‘widely known but still unacknowledged’; ‘everybody knows and the US government talks about it under a shredded fig leaf’; and finally, ‘merely preposterously unacknowledged’.
Even if statutory reform of Title 50 were politically possible, however, it would be made more difficult because it would require a corresponding change in the exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Why? Because the biggest legal driver of characterizations of drone warfare as “covert action” is the risk that any form of acknowledgment would persuade a judge, somewhere, to deem the statute’s new “levels” of acknowledgment sufficient warrant to require disclosure by the intelligence community in response to a FOIA inquiry. If you’re one of the committed critics of drone warfare, or of government secrecy as such, this is a feature. If you’re most people, however, and certainly if you are the Obama administration or most members of the Congressional intelligence oversight committees, this is a bug, and a very big one. The Obama administration has both declassified certain facts about the existence of the drone programs and has acknowledged parts of this in FOIA litigation; but necessary and legitimate secrecy requires certainty that it will be maintained over time, and that needs to be established in advance by statute, not by evolving and uncertain court rulings. | positive |
An artificial intelligence (AI) system has solved a 100-year-old mystery of how a flatworm regenerates its body parts, an advance which suggests that computers may one day independently invent scientific ideas.
The system was developed by researchers from Tufts University, in Massachusetts, who put it to work on data from experiments on planaria - tiny worms with an uncanny ability to regrow complex body parts.
Scientists have not been able to come up with a model that explains the worm's extraordinary ability.
"The invention of models to explain what nature is doing is the most creative thing scientists do - it's not just statistics or number crunching, this is the heart and soul of the scientific enterprise," said Michael Levin, one of the authors of the study.
"Here, the computer really did give back more than what was put in," Levin told 'LiveScience'.
"None of us could have come up with this model. We, as a field, have failed to do so after over a century of effort," he said.
The system was programmed by Daniel Lobo, a post-doctoral researcher at Tufts and co-author of the study. It works by taking models that attempt to explain how regeneration occurs and subjecting them to a process of "natural selection."
Potential models are run through a virtual simulator that mimics various experiments on planaria; then, the results are compared with the outcomes of published experiments in which planaria have been cut into pieces and sometimes manipulated with drugs or by having genes knocked out before regenerating into full organisms.
In each cycle, the potential models that best fit the results are "bred" with each other to create new models and less accurate ones are discarded. This process is repeated until the models "evolve" into one that fits the data perfectly.
Using this process, the AI system was able to produce a model that correctly predicted all 16 experiments included in the data set within just 42 hours, the researchers said.
Christian Petersen, a planarian expert from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, said these capabilities could become even more useful as computers become more powerful.
Eventually, AI systems "could help investigators develop novel hypotheses about developmental pathways that could be confirmed through experimentation," Petersen said. | positive |
EVE Online is infamous for its scammers, pirates, and ne’er-do-wells, but this week all their scams were put to shame. A member of the game’s Council of Stellar Management and head diplomat of the Circle of Two alliance named The Judge stole all of the holdings of the 4,000-person alliance for himself. He took their money, took their ships, and sold their Death Star-esque space citadel to their most hated enemies.
The EVE community has taken to calling it “Judgement Day.”
On September 11, Aryth, a player in the highest echelons of the Goonswarm Federation alliance broadcast a string of short messages to the entirety of The Imperium, a massive player organization. “I want to [be] smug. You are going to love this. I am the best CSM in history.”
“Flipped Judge at Summit. CCP watched me do it live. Keep is in his hands he has robbed them blind.”
Typically, discussions between members of the Council of Stellar Management are not made public, thanks to non-disclosure agreements. So this vague message caught the attention of the 30,000 members of The Imperium who saw it.
A few minutes later, it was followed by another cryptic message: “The next 24 hours are going to be glorious.” This itself was quickly followed by the punchline everyone had been eagerly awaiting. “Flipped Judge at Summit. CCP watched me do it live. Keep is in his hands he has robbed them blind.”

In EVE, trusting the wrong person can cost you everything, and players know this. But how does a member that had built up so much trust become a turncoat in such a sudden and brutal fashion?
“Legacy Coalition, the coalition that I had helped build, was imploding due to the leader of Co2 letting his ego take over, sort of giving everyone the middle finger,” said The Judge. “That was the breaking point for me.”
However, The Judge says he didn’t take this path on his own. For over a year before he pulled the trigger on EVE’s largest heist, he says his fellow CSM member Aryth had been attempting to flip his allegiance when the two were together in real life—at Council summits in development studio CCP Games’ hometown of Reykjavik, Iceland.

Flipping The Judge
“From my perspective,” Aryth said, “this story starts when Co2 backstabbed us, during the Casino War.” Here, he referred to the battle of M-OEE8 in March of last year. Shortly after the conclusion of that battle, after hours of The Imperium’s combined forces trying and failing to save the Co2 home system, an announcement was made on the EVE subreddit: The Judge himself posted that Co2 would be severing all ties with its Imperial allies, and forging their own way from that point forward, and they would be doing so inside the next thirty minutes.
“At the time, it was something I was on board with,” Judge said. “How it happened wasn’t great, but the split was something that needed to happen. The cultures didn’t match, and they never had, and everyone knew it.” He went on to say that he regretted blindsiding the Imperium’s players, but that they “felt that it was the safest way for us to exit the coalition.”

This event marked the point of no return for The Imperium during the war. Their players evacuated the majority of the belongings to a safer position, and spent the next few months watching the empire they had built disintegrate before their eyes. The Mittani, leader of the Imperium, swore revenge on everyone prosecuting the war against them. Most of all, he swore that his forces would not rest until they saw the Co2 alliance destroyed.
Aryth would be the primary implement of The Mittani’s revenge, though at the first summit of the 11th CSM, no one knew that. The Imperium’s CSM Candidates, Innominate and Aryth, entered the summit with a purpose, he said. “Our first goal was to establish which personalities fell into which categories: nice but ignorable, hostile and damaging to our game, and a third group, those that we felt we could flip.”

“We quickly identified two CSM members we thought were targetable. Judge was one of those two, obviously.”
During the first summit, the two Imperium delegates and The Judge spoke quite a bit—with Judge introducing himself as “The Traitor”—and they seemed to get along very well. Information was exchanged as both sides tried to feel each other out for any in-game weaknesses, and towards the end of the first summit, Aryth thought that there was a slim chance that The Judge could be turned.
“During the second summit, we knew that Co2 would be in trouble when the moon mining patch finally came along. Our goal was to build up and exploit The Judge during this time where Co2’s lifestyle would be in danger, possible even setting up a coup for The Judge to take over.”

By the end of the second summit of CSM 11, Aryth was convinced that there was a chance he could flip The Judge and cripple Co2 in the process. The Judge wasn’t blind to this, he said: “From the very first time Aryth talked to me, I knew that they saw me as a mark, someone who could be easily targeted, from their point of view. But from my point of view, it was always my decision on what I was going to do. But they could tell I wasn’t happy, and Aryth was actually a sympathetic person to me.”
The Hurrah
A year after he had first noticed The Judge as a potential flip, in the weeks leading up to the first summit of the 12th CSM, Aryth could see through his network of spies that a chain of events was beginning that would embroil Circle of Two in a war, potentially shaking their diplomatic ties.
Advertisement
“I saw an opportunity, and I laid out my plan to the other senior leadership, [and] they were horrified. Some wanted a slow burn, but I wanted to set up a ‘Super Prisoner’s Dilemma’. I knew this was the time,“ he said. As the CSM summit began in earnest, with The Judge separated from his alliance, the dominoes Aryth saw began to fall. In a situation eerily reminiscent to the lead-up of World War I, small skirmishes began to trigger mutual defense pacts, which led to favors being called in, which eventually led to Circle of Two looking down the barrels of their guns, and seeing members of fellow members of the Legacy Coalition on the other side of the field.
Aryth looked on as between summit meetings, The Judge tried to get a handle on the situation, but to no avail. The leader of Circle of Two was ruining his relationships with another major alliance, Test Alliance Please Ignore. “Judge sees his hard work disintegrating, and his leader, Gigx, just doesn’t care.”
Aryth said that he and his fellow CSM member Innominate played the situation very casually, allowing the Judge to come to them, to talk about what he wanted to talk about, and to lead the conversations, playing the part of consoling friends. Then it happened: Another alliance called Legacy Coalition was turning on Co2. Judge tried to fix things, but could not persuade Gigx, his leader.

At the final night of each Summit, CCP treats the delegates to dinner at a fine dining establishment in Reykjavik. The high-level players sit down and have a meal with some of the development team as a thank-you for their time and support.
“I knew this was my chance,” Aryth said. “Innominate and I discussed the plan with the rest of the Star Chamber [Goonswarm’s highest leadership channel], and they had some doubts, but I was fully confident.” Knowing that this would be his last chance to isolate The Judge in real life, away from the screen, away from his alliance, Aryth motioned him over to a corner seat.
Aryth describes what happened this way.
“I sat Innominate down next to his left, myself to his right, and a newer CCP developer, CCP Nagual, straight across from him. Nagual is new to the dev team, but very interested in the meta game, so he was the perfect choice. I’m chatting up The Judge, he’s pretty upset, as over the last week he’s watched months of work boil away to nothing. Then the drinks arrive.”

“You know… you could come to Goons.”
As everyone begins to drink, Aryth turns away from The Judge, looks directly to CCP Nagual, and asks: “Would you like to see how the metagame is played tonight?” Nagual, he says, agreed. For an hour, Aryth explained every detail of what had been happening, all the backstabbing, the crumbling alliances, the march to war. “I outline The Judge’s position, and how unenviable it is.”
Finally, after a lengthy conversation between Aryth and the CCP developer, with only minor input from The Judge, Aryth turns to him and drops the bomb: “You know… you could come to Goons.”
Advertisement
The Judge, of course, had been expecting this. None of what Aryth had said, or did would have worked if he hadn’t been, he said, The Judge held the keys to the castle and all the power, and he didn’t commit right away. “It was on my way home,” he said. “The dinner was Saturday, Sunday was my birthday, and I didn’t want to spend my entire birthday on a plane, so I stayed in Iceland. I saw a bit more of the country, had some time to think. Monday, on the thirty-one hour plane ride, I had even more time, and I decided that I was going to do it.”
At the dinner, they had come to a tentative agreement: a price tag for the transfer of the Keepstar Citadel, a place to call home inside of The Imperium for The Judge and his friends, and the ability to execute the heist at the Judge’s discretion. Once he was safely home, The Judge bided his time, waiting for the right moment to execute possibly the biggest snatch and grab in video game history.

“Right now, I think the best estimate is at about 1.5 trillion ISK, but there’s a lot of stuff I haven’t even gone through yet, so who know where it will end up, “ Judge said, talking about the equivalent of roughly $20,000 worth of in-game currency—not that he can legally cash it out. “This heist is the first of its kind in the Citadel era of EVE,” he said. “We’ve never seen the repercussions of something like this before.”
While You Can
On September 11, Aryth made his fateful announcement to The Imperium. He had struck a blow that no one in The Imperium or in Circle of Two had seen coming: he had facilitated the decapitation of The Imperium’s most hated enemy, and secured their super weapon-equipped Keepstar citadel, placed deep in the heart of Co2’s territory, for Goonswarm Federation.

Immediately, every able-bodied and awake pilot was summoned to their ships. Fleets were rapidly deployed across three regions of space. In yet another miracle of diplomacy, Imperial leadership was able to negotiate safe passage and assistance from the cheekily-named alliance Test Alliance Please Ignore, who were currently at war with Circle of Two.
Imperium vessels began encircling their new battlestation, attempting to prevent any member of Co2 from successfully evacuating their belongings. While they began deploying warp disruption fields to make the evacuation attempts more difficult, Co2’s leader Gigx received panicked phone calls from his remaining leadership, informing him of the dire circumstances the alliance now found itself in.
Gigx logged into the game servers and began trying to minimize the damage that The Judge could do, stopping The Judge from stealing the alliance’s ISK reserves, accessing shared hangars full of ships, or transferring more structures to other players. Realizing it was too little, too late, Gigx began to rage in alliance channels, meant to be seen only by friendly players, asking for The Judge’s personal information.
Advertisement
“Whoever know his real name, home address and other details msg me,” he wrote. “The Judge feel free to use your hands by typing here,” he added, “while you can.”
Unfortunately for Gigx, these channels were being broadcast over a Twitch stream, causing a massive amount of players to report the alliance leader’s actions to CCP. As of now, Gigx has received a permanent ban from EVE Online for those statements.

“I don’t think that he’s going to come and try and chop my hands off,” says The Judge of Gigx. “But I feel that people who make threats in game with out of game violence shouldn’t be in the game anymore. If it were any other circumstance, I wouldn’t support it.”
The Aftermath
“Judgement Day” will go down in EVE history as one of the biggest watershed moments of modern EVE. It will be remembered alongside the Bloodbath of B-R5BR, the Battle of Asakai, the times Jita was on fire for days on end, and most similarly, the destruction of the Band of Brothers empire, in a similar fashion, years ago. An alliance has been destroyed to its very core, by someone who had been one of its biggest supporters, with no warning.
Advertisement
But what happens to the man who burns the biggest bridge in the universe?
“Well, no one will give [me] keys to a Keepstar ever again,” The Judge said. “In EVE, your reputation is all you have. ISK comes and goes, and your name is what’s there forever. Mine’s shot at this point, which is fine with me. I’m past the point where I want to run things. I’m more than happy to step back, fly around and just shoot people. My plan when the dust settles is to join Goonswarm, and I don’t see why that would change.”
“I’m free to do what I want to do now,” he said. “Not under someone who would threaten others to make themselves feel better.”
Advertisement
“The worst is the relationships that are damaged or lost. And of course the threats to my life, that I did not anticipate, or find acceptable.”
Aryth said the events had reignited his flagging passion for participating in the CSM. “I had been pretty down on it because of the time taken away from my family/career, but this has made me fall in love with it again.”
But the best part, he says? “Payback. Vengeance. Revenge. Real Rains of Castamere type vengeance. It let me participate in a way, in a war that I missed, and let me strike a blow for my friends. Headshotting the great betrayer.” | positive |
In a sign of improving economic health around the world, the World Trade Organization has strongly upgraded its forecast for the 2017 growth in world trade volume.
The World Trade Organization previously estimated trade expansion in 2017 to be 2.4 percent, but now looks to hit 3.6 percent growth for the year.
This is welcome news. A rise in trade volumes are a sign that more people around the world are entering mutually beneficial transactions with economically free counterparties in other countries.
In such transactions, both trade partners win because free trade is based on mutual advantage.
Roberto Azevêdo, director-general of the World Trade Organization, cautions that a few things could derail the recovery in world trade.
Azevêdo warns that protectionist rhetoric from world leaders could lead to trade restrictive actions. He says the current expansion of trade is more likely to continue “if countries continue to resist the temptations of protectionism and work together with their partners in the multilateral system to ensure that gains from trade are both large and widely shared.”
As The Heritage Foundation’s annual Index of Economic Freedom has documented since 1995, the world’s most prosperous countries are those that are open to international trade and investment. America should pursue a trade policy that generates new jobs and economic dynamism for Americans by expanding economic freedom across the globe.
In other words, the end goal of the U.S. trade policy agenda should be the removal of existing government restrictions on the freedom of Americans to trade, except those that may be required by health, safety, or national security.
Such a policy goal is essentially in line with the Trump administration’s ongoing deregulatory and tax reform agenda.
Of course, some enterprises do not want existing trade restrictions removed. They enjoy monopoly power in the U.S. market because Washington’s swamp of special interests has restricted their competitors through various taxes or quotas. Such firms are not going to want to lose their privileged position.
Yet guaranteeing these companies’ survival through government support—the essence of protectionism—is neither a suitable nor responsible policy choice. Countries that have gone the route of protectionism, which propels favoritism, find themselves trapped by sluggish growth, technological stagnation, declining productivity, and the erosion of prosperity.
Instead of a protected industry relying on Washington’s misguided paternalism to protect them, they should improve their products and respond to market demands.
If the struggling industry can’t do that, it is not a justification for everyone who buys one of their competitors’ products to pay taxes so the struggling industry can continue to sell its inferior goods domestically.
Protectionist taxes also hurt American businesses that use imports to make their final products. Why must these companies pay above-market prices (or go out of business if they can’t afford to pay inflated prices) so that some other industry can curry special favors from Washington?
The government should not pick winners and losers by artificially making some goods more expensive through protectionism. Doing so takes away the economic freedom of hardworking Americans.
Politicians should not curtail the recent expansion in global trade by attempting to guide trade into areas it does not naturally flow.
More free trade, not less, is what America needs in order to prosper. Fundamentally, free trade is about rejecting favoritism and expanding economic opportunity for all.
It is essential that policymakers separate hype from fact and assess existing trade deals and initiatives objectively. Armed with the facts, they can then help to promote dynamic economic growth and lasting prosperity in the U.S. | positive |

It seems like every designer out there has an opinion about the Comic Sans font, and it seems the overwhelming majority of those opinions are negative. How has a single font become the focus of so much ire? And what, exactly, is behind all the hate?
A Brief History of Comic Sans
Comic Sans was created by Vincent Connare in 1994 for Microsoft. It was originally designed to be used with Microsoft Bob, but it was completed too late to be included in the program.
The font was based on lettering from comic books Connare had in his office, specifically Watchmen (lettered by Dave Gibbons) and The Dark Knight Returns (lettered by John Costanza).
On the left: Watchmen characters. On the right: The Dark Knight Returns cover
According to statements from Connare, he never intended the font to be released for general use, and only designed it to be used in comic-book-style speech bubbles within MS Bob.
Vincent Connare presenting in 2008.
The Life of Comic Sans in Microsoft Applications
The font ended up being included in Microsoft 3D Movie Maker, which used it in its pop-up windows and help sections. Later it was included with Windows 95 Plus! Pack and then became a standard font for the OEM version of Windows 95. Eventually it was included as a default font for Microsoft Publisher and Internet Explorer.
Some Well-Known Uses of Comic Sans
Comic Sans has been used on a number of well-known products. Beanie Babies have used the font on their tags since the late 1990’s. The 2004 Canada Day 25-cent collector coin also used the font. The Sims video game uses it as well.
The Origin of the Comic Sans Hate
One of the main reasons Comic Sans became the target of such hatred was its widespread usage, particularly when dealing with serious or formal subjects.
While Comic Sans was perfectly adequate in designs for children or designs related to comic books or cartoons, it had no place in business or professional work usage. It’s also ill-suited in content body text – it’s best used as a headline/heading font or short quote (such as in a comic book). But nevertheless, Comic Sans has cropped up all over the place.
The “Ban Comic Sans” Movement
The “Ban Comic Sans” movement started in 1999. It was reportedly started by Dave and Holly Crumbs, graphic designers from Indianapolis, after an employer insisted they use Comic Sans in a children’s museum exhibit.
While the group is a bit tongue-in-cheek, they do point out one of the biggest problems in amateur graphic design: disregard for appropriate typography choices. Where a professional designer will (usually) consider the impact their font and typography choices have on the overall tone of a project, an amateur will often just pick a font they like, disregarding the font’s impact on the final design. If your paying for website design, the designer should definitely keep an appropriate font in mind. Font is a huge part of web design which is extremely important for user experience.
Inappropriate Uses of Comic Sans
The single biggest complaint against Comic Sans is that Comic Sans portrays a very definite tone and feeling when it’s used; mainly, an immature, informal, childish mood.
A recent Flickr discussion in the Ban Comic Sans group talked about inappropriate uses in the wild.
Some of the uses shared were:
Sign for swimming pool rules at a summer camp
A grave marker
Writing on a commemorative bench
Sign for a bone marrow transplant clinic
Government job applications
Teacher reviews for an art/graphic design department

Technical and Aesthetic Drawbacks
While many who hate Comic Sans do so just because of its omnipresence, others hate it because of aesthetic and technical drawbacks. Both the kerning and weighting of the font are inconsistent, leading to a haphazard appearance in large swathes of text (or even small ones).
Todd Klein did an analysis of why Comic Sans isn’t even appropriate for comic books in his post, “Comic Sans Font Examined“. It’s an interesting read, and points out some further shortcomings of the font.
Generally, industry has a huge role in choosing a font. You wouldn’t want to put Comic Sans on a for sale sign for your house, or you realty website because it doesn’t just doesn’t fit the theme for the business.
Some Alternatives to Comic Sans
If you’re looking for a font that gives the same impression and feeling as Comic Sans but doesn’t come with all the negativity, give the following fonts a try.

Image caption Soil from the pelvis area of Richard III's skeleton had many roundworm eggs
Richard III suffered from a roundworm infection, a team says.
A soil sample from the region where his infected intestines would have been during life, revealed multiple roundworm eggs.
Prevalent both in medieval times and in tropical countries today, the roundworm parasite spreads from faecal contamination and can grow up to one foot long.
The work is published in the Lancet journal.
In addition to soil from the pelvis, scientists tested soil from other areas of the grave to see whether the eggs were equally distributed.
"What we found was plenty of roundworm eggs in the sacral soil, where his intestines would have been. There were no parasite eggs of any kind in the skull soil and only very low levels around the grave," said Piers Mitchell, a medical consultant and researcher at Cambridge University.
"This shows that the significant number of eggs inside the soil must have genuinely been from his intestines and could not have been contamination from soil in the grave."
Who was Richard III? Richard III was the last Yorkist king of England, whose death at the age of 32 in the Battle of Bosworth effectively ended the Wars of the Roses. His nephews Edward V and Richard of York, the "Princes in the Tower", disappeared in 1483 and are said by many historians to have been murdered on Richard III's orders. Shakespeare's version of events in his play Richard III added to the king's infamy, but some historians reject the heinous crimes attributed to Richard. Find out more about Richard's reign Mad murderer or a man of his times?
Discarded human waste
Most soil from medieval times is likely to show some contamination as human waste was often discarded from windows onto the ground below.
Medieval farmers also used faeces as a crop fertiliser which could also have quickly spread the unwelcome guest.
The eggs were identified by powerful microscopes after they had been separated from the soil using sieves. In the right conditions, the dead eggs can be preserved for hundreds of years due to the robust nature of their cell walls.
Roundworms infest the human digestive tract and use the body as a host to stay alive and reproduce. As they steal their host's food, an infection could have resulted in malnutrition or death among people who had extremely poor diets.
Today it is thought a quarter of the population still suffer from roundworm, especially in tropical countries with poor sanitation.
The "king under the car park" was likely to have had an extremely nutritious diet so he may not have noticed many symptoms, apart from a dry cough.

Common parasites
Many medieval people would have suffered from other intestinal parasites present in meat and fish, but there was no evidence of these in the king's remains.
This suggests that his chefs would have cooked his food very well explained Dr Mitchell.
"Parasites are killed by the thorough cooking of meat, so medieval chefs were perhaps more conscientious than you might otherwise have guessed."
Jo Appleby, at the University of Leicester who helped uncover Richard III's skeleton, said that roundworms were very common at the time.
"It might seem surprising that Richard - who had a very noble background - was infected with roundworm, but this is something that you can pick up very easily through faecal contamination," she told BBC News.
Simon Brooker, at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said it was very plausible Richard III had roundworm. He explained that eggs in the pelvic abdominal regions had also been found in other historic sites.
"Where you've got a large number of worms combined with poor nutritional intake, the consequences can be quite severe.
"I expect Richard III's exposure would have been low compared to the people he ruled over. It would have been somewhat of a nuisance rather than having had any severe consequences," Prof Brooker told BBC News.
In February 2013 a team from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch's family. Since then his distant relatives have been granted a review over the decision to bury his remains in Leicester. | positive |

Some of My Favorite iOS Apps
( 7 min read )
No default apps.
No photo filters.
No games.
Mostly productivity and security. Which I know is boring, but these are just some of my daily apps that I use right now. And believe me, when I say that I am not a target user for mobile devices. I hardly use my smartphone let alone, make phone calls. So what I think is cool right now, might be way off base for regular smartphone users. But maybe you'll find something new to try out from my favorites list.
Signal
Why I love it: Its a free encrypted chat and phone app. Signup only requires a phone number, and the interface is as simple as it gets. Messages are nicely organized and you can see which of your friends use Signal by clicking the "new message" button. You can set messages to auto-delete after a given time (5 seconds, all the way up to 1 week) or never auto-delete. Did I mention this is free? The team at Open Whisper Systems did a great job with this app and I prefer to use it over any other mobile chat app there is.
Update 6/29/2017: I've actually stopped using Signal in favor of Wire, for a few reasons. 1. UX is pleasant. 2. browser app and mobile app communication. And messages show on all devices, not just my mobile phone. 3. Based in Switzerland.
Firefox Focus
Why I love it: There's Firefox on iOS, and then there's Firefox Focus on iOS. Its a smaller web browser at 14MB vs regular Firefox at 54MB and starts up faster when I need to quickly search or open a hyperlink. The best part, is it has ad-blocking builtin, and you know why I'm a fan of that already. I've customized Firefox Focus to use DuckDuckGo for no filter bubbles or trackers. Its not without its faults at the moment though. I've gotten it to crash when browsing some news sites before. But maybe its something to do with all the javascript being fronted on users lately. I'd like to see a "disable javascript" option in the next version.
Bitwarden
Why I love it: Its a free encrypted, open-source, password manager. I've only recently started using this app and browser-plugin for Firefox, but so far its been great. I've had some minor issues with syncing passwords when I add a new password from the mobile app, and the browser extension didn't "see" it for some time. But its not a big deal. Sign out and back in fixes that, but I'm sure the developers will fix that soon. Bitwarden has alot more features that I'm skipping over right now, so I definitely recommend you check it out.
Authenticator
Why I love it: Its a free, encrypted, open-source, two-factor authentication app. Sense a theme here? I like free and open-source stuff. And I like Matt Rubin. Hes the developer of this app. I mean... I love you Matt... Your authenticator app is awesome and so simple. It hasn't had an update in 2+ years, yet it doesn't need one. It doesn't connect to the internet. It just simply follows the OTP (one time pasword) algorithms to work with online services like Facebook, Twitter, and more. I guess if you didn't like this app, you can try Google Authenticator. It is pretty much the same thing, but Google back's up your codes in their cloud. So if that doesn't sound like something you care about, try Google's app. For me and other folks though, this "off the grid" app is perfect.
OpenVPN
Why I love it: Can you guess this one? Its a free, open-source, VPN (virtual private network) app. Its the ugliest app in my favorites right now, but it still performs its duties perfectly. Don't be turned off at its interface, its wonky, I know. After downloading the app, you provide it with the VPN information and credentials to login to your VPN provider. If you don't have a VPN provider, OpenVPN has their own service called Private Tunnel which you can sign up for. You'll have to pay for it, if you want 20GB or more data allowance each month. But if you're using a different VPN provider like me, you can provide your credentials and login right away. This app encrypts my web browsing and sufing on WiFi and 3G / 4G LTE networks automatically. You can open the app, connect to your VPN, then close it, and the connection remains. Its really simple and that's why its one of my favorite daily apps right now.
ProtonMail
Why I love it: Last time now... its a free, open-source, encrypted email app. ProtonMail is quite amazing, and its still growing. I've already written about how I ditched Gmail 2 years ago for ProtonMail's free service. Its been strange to leave Gmail, but felt great to secure my inbox with no email scanning or advertising profiles built on my private communications. So naturally, getting the iOS app of my new favorite service was a no brainer. Its extremely simple to use, and I gotta say... between the Email web app and the iOS app, I have to hand it to the iOS app. Its much more visually pleasing and easier to use. There are some settings which can only be changed in the web app though. But they're not super important for everyday email usage. I highly recommend you to try this app out.
I'm sure my favorites will change in the near future. The mobile app market is very aggressive and moves quickly.
Also, some of these apps are available on Android too. In case you're interested.

I'm delighted to be speaking to this group; it's really an honor. Given the audience--and because I may never again have so many economists in front of me at one time--I thought that rather than giving a policy-oriented speech, I would test-drive a new research project. The project is ongoing joint work with Samuel Hanson and Andrei Shleifer of Harvard and with Robert Vishny of the University of Chicago. We haven't quite finished writing up the paper, but we have most of the raw material and a pretty good idea of where we are trying to go, so I figured I would give it a shot.1
Our aim is primarily positive, as opposed to normative: We're interested in better understanding the economic role played by commercial banks, as well as the interplay between the traditional commercial banking sector and the so-called shadow-banking sector, which includes various non-bank intermediaries such as broker-dealers, money-market funds, and hedge funds.
It would be an understatement to say that the literature on the role of banks is vast. Without attempting to do it justice, let me just note three prominent classes of theories. The first focuses on the liability side of banks' balance sheets--that is, their deposit-taking role. In this view, what is most important about banks is that they create safe claims which, precisely because of their safety and immunity from adverse-selection problems, are useful as a transactions medium.2 In other words, banks are special because they are the institutions that create private, or "inside," money. Although it does not necessarily follow as a logical matter, this view has led some observers to advocate narrow-banking proposals, whereby bank-created money is backed by very safe liquid assets, such as Treasury bills.3
A second class of theories emphasizes the asset side of banks' balance sheets and their role as delegated monitors in the lending process.4 Here banks are seen as a mechanism for dealing with the information and incentive problems that would otherwise make it difficult for credit to be extended to opaque borrowers such as small businesses. Because this work is silent on the precise structure of the liability side, it does not draw much of a distinction between banks and other, nonbank lending intermediaries, such as finance companies.
Finally, a third class of theories explicitly addresses the question of what ties together the asset and liability sides of banks' balance sheets--that is, why do the same institutions that create private money choose to back their safe claims by investing in loans and other relatively illiquid assets?5 What is the nature of the synergy between the two activities?
Our work fits into this third category, with two twists relative to previous research. First, we stress the fact that on the asset side, banks hold not only loans, but like their shadow-banking counterparts, they also hold securities, often in very substantial amounts. Moreover, these securities holdings have a particular pattern. Banks tend to stay away from the safest and most liquid securities, such as Treasury securities, and instead concentrate their holdings in securities that are less liquid and whose market prices are more volatile, including agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), asset-backed securities and corporate bonds. We argue that this pattern is an important clue to the business of banking more generally.
Second, while we follow previous work in assuming that the safety of bank liabilities is an important part of what makes them special, we depart from much of the rest of the literature by downplaying the vulnerability of bank deposits to runs. Indeed, we emphasize precisely the opposite aspect of deposit finance: Relative to other forms of private-money creation that occur in the shadow-banking sector--notably, short-term collateralized claims such as broker-dealer repurchase agreements (repos)--bank deposits are noteworthy because, in the modern institutional environment, they are highly sticky and not prone to run at the first sign of trouble.
In its simplest terms, our story is as follows: There are different private technologies for creating safe money-like claims. The "banking" technology involves meaningful amounts of capital as well as deposit insurance and thus leads to deposits that are both safe and relatively stable. The "shadow banking" technology uses less capital and manufactures safety by, instead, giving repo investors collateral and the right to seize the collateral on a moment's notice. So shadow banking money is much more run prone than bank money. Given its relatively stable nature, the banking model is better suited to investing in assets that are illiquid and subject to interim price volatility--that is, to fire-sale risk. These assets can be loans that involve significant amounts of monitoring, or they can be securities that require less monitoring. What is essential is the synergy between issuing stable types of money claims and investing in assets that have some degree of exposure to fire-sale risk. That synergy, in our view, is at the heart of the business of traditional banking.
We have developed a simple theoretical model that captures the main ingredients of this story and makes some further testable predictions. It's probably ill-advised over lunch, but I will take a crack at sketching this model for you here. However, let me start with three stylized facts to motivate the theory.
Stylized Facts
The first fact, and the one that I suspect will surprise you the least, is the strong homogeneity of the liability side of banks' balance sheets: Banks are almost always and everywhere largely deposit financed. For example, in the cross section, and using year-end 2012 data, a bank at the 10th percentile of the distribution had a ratio of deposits to assets of 73.6 percent, while a bank at the 90th percentile had a ratio of 88.9 percent.6 A similar homogeneity is apparent in the time series: Over the past 115 years, deposits have averaged 80 percent of bank assets, with a standard deviation of only 8 percent. These patterns are in sharp contrast to those for nonfinancial firms, for which capital structure tends to be much less determinate, both within an industry and over time. They suggest that for banks--unlike non-financials, and counter to the spirit of Modigliani and Miller (1958)--an important part of their economic value creation happens on the liability side of the balance sheet, via deposit-taking.
The second fact, which is perhaps just a bit more surprising, is that the asset side of banks' balance sheets--and, in particular, their mix of loans versus securities--is considerably more heterogeneous. In the 2012 cross section, a bank at the 10th percentile of the distribution had a ratio of securities to assets of 6.9 percent, while, for a bank at the 90th percentile, the ratio was almost six times higher, at 40.7 percent.7 One interpretation of this heterogeneity is as follows: While lending is obviously very important for a majority of banks, it need not be the case that a bank's scale is pinned down by the nature of its lending opportunities. Rather, at least in some cases, it seems that a bank's size is determined by its deposit franchise, and that, taking these deposits as given, its problem then becomes one of how best to invest them. Again, this liability-centric perspective is very different from how we are used to thinking about nonfinancial firms, whose scale is almost always presumed to be driven by its opportunities on the asset side of the balance sheet.
The third stylized fact, illustrated in figure 1, is the one that I found most eye- opening: While banks might be quite heterogeneous in their mix of loans and securities, within the category of securities, they appear to have well-defined preferences. As can be seen in the figure, banks hold very little in the way of Treasury securities and securities issued directly by the government-sponsored agencies: These two categories accounted for just 7.7 percent and 5.8 percent of total securities holdings, respectively, on a value-weighted basis in 2012. The large bulk of their holdings is in MBS guaranteed by the agencies and other types of mortgage-linked securities--such as CMOs and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS)--which collectively accounted for 57.7 percent of securities holdings in 2012. Also important is the "Other" category, which includes corporate and municipal bonds, as well as asset-backed securities, and which accounted for 29.3 percent of holdings in 2012.
This composition of banks' securities portfolio is not what you would expect if they were simply holding securities as a highly liquid buffer against, say, unexpected deposit outflows or commitment drawdowns. It also appears--superficially, at least--at odds with the narrow-banking premise that one can profitably exploit a deposit franchise simply by taking deposits and parking them in Treasury bills. Rather, it looks as if banks are purposefully taking on some mix of duration, credit, and prepayment exposure in order to earn a spread relative to Treasury bills. And indeed, over the period from 1984 to 2012, the average spread on banks' securities portfolio relative to bills was 1.73 percent.
By contrast, over this same period, we estimate that if banks had raised deposits and invested them exclusively in three-month Treasury bills, they would have earned an average net return of only 0.06 percent of deposits. This figure is based on three components. First, the spread between the rate earned on bills and that paid on deposits averaged 0.87 percent over the sample period. Second, there was additional noninterest income on deposits (for example, overdraft fees) of 0.49 percent of deposits. Third, however, deposit-taking involves considerable bricks-and-mortar costs. Using Call Report data on banks' total costs, and a hedonic regression approach to infer the portion of cost that is due to deposit-taking, we estimate this piece to have averaged 1.30 percent of deposits over the sample period. Thus, the net profitability of narrow banking is given by 0.87 percent plus 0.49 percent minus 1.30 percent, which equals 0.06 percent.
Overall, our synthesis of these stylized facts is that banks are in the business of taking deposits and investing these deposits in fixed-income assets that have certain well-defined risk and liquidity attributes but which can be either loans or securities. The information-intensive nature of traditional lending--in the delegated monitoring sense--while clearly important in many cases, may not be the defining feature of banking. Rather, the defining feature may be that, whether banks invest in information-intensive loans or relatively transparent securities, they invest in fixed-income assets that have some degree of price volatility and illiquidity and so offer a higher return than very liquid and safe Treasury securities. In this sense, small business loans and CMOs are on one side of the fence, and Treasury securities are on the other.
Before proceeding, I should note a natural first reaction to these observations. You might say, "Of course banks prefer holding riskier securities to riskless ones, even if they create no monitoring value in either case. They are just taking advantage of the put option created by deposit insurance. In other words, the evidence on the patterns of banks' securities holdings just reflects a moral hazard problem and nothing more."
Without intending to dismiss the importance of moral hazard generally, I don't think it can fully account for the data in figure 1. One way to make this point is to redraw the figure, restricting the sample only to those banks with the highest levels of capital at any point in time--those above the median of the distribution by the ratio of equity to assets--as is done in figure 2. As can be seen, the basic patterns are very similar to those in figure 1. Given that these highly capitalized banks are less likely to impose losses on the Deposit Insurance Fund, I think there is something deeper here than can be explained by a simple appeal to deposit-insurance-induced moral hazard.
So what, then, is the story? As I alluded to earlier, it begins with the observation that a deposit franchise has two important dimensions. First, it offers a bank a low-cost source of financing, given the premium that investors are willing to pay (that is, the lower yield they are willing to accept) for safe money-like claims. And, second, it offers funding stability, since with an adequate capital buffer and deposit insurance, it is rational for depositors to be "sleepy" and disregard moderate changes in the mark-to-market value of long-term fixed-income assets. Thus, a stable deposit franchise gives a bank the ability to ride out transitory valuation changes of the sort that might come from noise-trader shocks or fire sales, without being forced to liquidate assets at temporarily depressed prices.8 As a result, traditional banks with stable funding have an advantage relative to their shadow banking counterparts in holding those assets where transitory repricing risk is high for a given level of underlying fundamental cash flow risk.
Here's one way to put the broad theme of our work: We have learned from this year's Nobel laureates, Eugene Fama and Robert Shiller, that discount rate variation‑‑that is, transitory movements in asset prices not driven by changes in future expected cash flows‑‑is central to understanding asset pricing. Our basic message is that this same discount rate variation may also be central to thinking about financial intermediation and, in particular, the connection between the asset and liability sides of intermediary balance sheets. In a world with transitory pricing shocks, a stable funding structure can be an important source of comparative advantage for holding certain types of assets.
The Model
We have developed a simple model to try to make these ideas precise and to flesh out further empirical implications. I won't try to walk you through it in all of its detail, but I will try to give you a flavor for the basic structure and the main results.9
The model has three dates--0, 1, and 2--with a timeline illustrated in figure 3. There is a collection of different long-lived fixed-income assets indexed by i. The payoffs on these assets are all perfectly correlated. In particular, each asset i pays off R at time 2 if the aggregate state of the world is such that there has been no default, and it pays off a lower amount, z i , if there has been a default. At time 1, there is an interim news event. With probability p, the news is good, which means that all assets will definitely not default at time 2. And with probability (1 - p), the news is bad, which means that there is a subsequent probability of default on all assets of (1 - q) at time 2. Thus, in the bad-news state at time 1, the fundamental value of asset i is F i = qR + (1 - q)z i . However, if there is bad news at time 1, the market value of asset i will be depressed by a temporary fire-sale effect and will be given by k i F i ≤F i . The value of k i is endogenous and asset specific in our model and depends on the equilibrium quantity of asset i that is liquidated at time 1; I will return to this feature momentarily.
Household preferences are as follows: Households are risk neutral over fluctuations in their consumption. However, they derive additional utility--which can be thought of as transactions services--from holding completely safe claims, since these claims can be used in a money-like fashion. The upshot of these assumptions is that households require a fixed rate of return on any risky claims, no matter how risky, but a lower rate of return on claims that can be made completely safe. These latter safe claims can be interpreted as privately created money.
Given these household preferences, the name of the game for financial intermediaries is to create as much in the way of safe money-like claims from each asset category i as possible. And given the structure of the model, there are two distinct technologies for creating safe claims.
The first technology we label "traditional banking." A traditional bank is relatively conservative in issuing safe claims. In particular, for each dollar it holds of asset i, it issues z i of deposits and finances the rest with equity. Since asset i always pays off at least z i , even in the worst-case scenario, a depositor in a traditional bank can sleep through whatever news comes in at time 1 and still be assured of having a safe claim. In other words, a bank backs its deposits with enough capital so as to make these deposits safe over a two-period horizon and hence endogenously sticky; there is no reason for bank depositors ever to run at time 1. Alternatively, one can think of the bank as having acquired deposit insurance--which allows depositors to sleep through time 1--and the deposit insurer as having imposed a capital requirement of (1- z i ) on the bank so as to reduce its expected losses to zero.
The second technology for creating safe claims we label "shadow banking." Shadow banks are more aggressive: They rely less on capital, and more on the exit option at time 1, to create safety for their investors. Specifically, a shadow bank issues k i F i of short-term collateralized claims for each dollar of asset i it holds, where k i F i > z i . The way these claims are kept safe is that if there is bad news at time 1, the investors seize the collateral and dump it at the fire-sale price, realizing k i F i . In other words, unlike bank investors, shadow bank investors cannot afford to sleep through time 1; their ability to pull the plug at this interim date is essential to keeping their claim safe.
For any given asset i, the key question is, which type of intermediary‑‑traditional bank or shadow bank--will end up holding the asset in equilibrium, and in what relative proportions? The answer to this question turns on the following tradeoff. On the one hand, since banks finance themselves with more equity and less cheap "money" than shadow banks, their overall cost of financing is higher, which puts them at a disadvantage. On the other hand, their more conservative capital structure means that banks' deposits never run on them. Hence, unlike shadow banks, they are never forced to liquidate assets at temporarily low prices when there is bad news at time 1; they can simply ride out this bad news and hold on to their investments until prices recover at time 2. In other words, as compared with shadow banks, traditional banks pay more to have a stabler funding structure, which is especially helpful for investing in those assets for which fire-sale discounts are high.
To close the model, we need to endogenize the fire-sale discount factor, k i . We assume that this fire-sale discount depends in part on the amount of liquidations at time 1, which is in turn related to the extent of ownership of asset i by the shadow banking sector--the more the shadow banking sector owns, the more gets dumped at time 1, and hence the lower is the fire-sale price. This assumption implies that the fire-sale discount plays an important equilibrating role in the model, and that we can have interior equilibria in which the ownership of a given asset i is divided across the traditional banking and shadow banking sectors; as ownership migrates to shadow banks, the fire-sale discount widens, which tends to reduce the relative advantage of shadow banks.
Specifically, we adopt the following reduced form: k i = k(μ i , φ i ), where μ i is the fraction of asset i held by the shadow banking sector and φ i is an index of asset illiquidity, with higher values of φ i corresponding to less-liquid assets. We assume that dk i /dμ i < 0, meaning that a greater shadow banking share results in a lower fire-sale price, and that d2k i /dμ i dφ i < 0, meaning that this adverse price-pressure effect is amplified in more-illiquid assets.
With all of this machinery in place, I can now state our main results, which characterize how banks' equilibrium market shares depend on the two primitive asset-level parameters, φ i and z i . First, we have that dμ i /dφ i < 0, which means that banks have a bigger share relative to shadow banks in more-illiquid assets, all else being equal. Second, we have that dμ i /dz i < 0, which means that banks have a bigger share in assets that have less long-run solvency risk, all else being equal.
Taken together, these two results suggest that banks have a comparative advantage in holding assets that can experience significant temporary price dislocations but, at the same time, have only modest fundamental risk. Agency MBS might be a leading example of such an asset, since they are insured against default risk but are less liquid than Treasury securities and, for a given duration, have more price volatility, as the MBS-Treasury spread varies significantly.
The model also explains why, even absent any institutional or regulatory constraints, banks would endogenously choose to avoid equities--they simply have too much fundamental risk. Because their value can fall very far over an extended period of time--that is, because their z i is close to zero--equities cannot be efficiently used as backing to create safe two-period claims. So they are not good collateral for bank money. By contrast, to the extent that they are highly liquid, they do make suitable collateral for very short-term repo financing. In other words, equities can be used to back some amount of shadow bank money.
It should be noted that the model admits either interior outcomes or corner solutions, depending on the asset-specific values of z i and φ i . So it is consistent with the possibility that some assets (say, highly illiquid loans) will be held only by banks, some (say, Treasury securities) will be owned predominantly but not exclusively by shadow banks, and some (say, agency MBS, CMBS, and CMOs) will be owned in significant quantities by each type of intermediary, with an equilibrium fire-sale discount that just balances the tradeoff between the two organizational forms. In this view of the world, loans are seen as being on a continuum with less-liquid securities, and they are held by banks because of their relative illiquidity and susceptibility to fire-sale discounts, not solely because of a need for monitoring.
Further Evidence
One way to draw out some further implications of the model is to focus on the key comparative static, dμ i /dφ i < 0--namely, that banks have a bigger market share in more-illiquid assets. Now, of course in the real world, there are many different kinds of financial intermediaries, not just two as in our simple model. But a rough generalization of our theory would be to say that across intermediary types, we should expect those with relatively more-stable liabilities to hold more-illiquid assets.
To implement a test of this proposition, we use flow of funds data on eight classes of financial intermediaries: banks, broker-dealers, money market funds, real estate investment trusts, government-sponsored enterprises, property and casualty insurers, life insurers, and finance companies.10 The flow of funds data include breakdowns of the different assets and liabilities of each of these intermediaries. Our test then requires us to measure the "illiquidity" of each category of asset and the "stickiness" of each category of liability, which we do using homemade indexes that vary from 0 to 1. Although there is inevitably some subjectivity involved in constructing these indexes, we try to minimize this subjectivity by relying as heavily as possible on the parameters in Basel III's Net Stable Funding Ratio and Liquidity Coverage Ratio.11 With these indexes in hand, we can then aggregate up to create values for the asset illiquidity and liability stickiness of an entire intermediary sector.12
Figure 4 plots the results of this exercise using data as of year-end 2012. As can be seen, there is a very tight cross-intermediary correlation between liability stickiness and asset illiquidity. At one end of the spectrum are money market funds and broker-dealers‑‑prototypical shadow-bank-type institutions--with very low values of both, and at the other end are banks and life insurance companies. While there are only eight data points, the close fit of the regression line is consistent with the broad thrust of our story.
To further highlight the importance of stable bank liabilities, figure 5 takes an approach similar to that of figure 4 but plots asset illiquidity versus the contractual maturity of liabilities, rather than their effective stickiness. Now the banking sector appears as a huge outlier, since the contractual maturity of banks' liabilities is extremely short--indeed, shorter than that of broker-dealers--even while they hold highly illiquid assets. This observation underscores a key point: If one wants to understand the divergent asset-side behavior of banks and shadow banks, one has to look not to the literal contractual maturity of their liabilities, but rather to the differing incentives that their overall financial and institutional arrangements create for short-term claims to be stable in the face of bad news.
Other Implications
Our framework may also be helpful in understanding a couple of other aspects of the business of banking. The first is banks' accounting treatment of their "available for sale" securities, according to which ongoing mark-to-market gains and losses don't appear in net income.13 This treatment implicitly presumes that these gains and losses are temporary and that banks can ride them out by not having to sell the security in question before it matures. While I would not want to go so far as to claim that our model justifies this accounting practice, it at least provides a starting point for thinking about it.14 By contrast, the practice would be incomprehensible in a world in which changes in asset prices reflected changes in expected future cash flows.
Second, our approach may help shed some light on the bricks-and-mortar costs associated with bank deposit-taking. As I mentioned earlier, we estimate these costs to be quite high, averaging on the order of 1.30 percent of deposits over the period from 1984 to 2012. And of course, these costs ultimately represent an endogenous decision--banks could always choose to offer their customers fewer and less attractive branch locations, fewer opportunities for interacting with a human teller, and so forth. One view is that these amenities are simply a separable flow of services to depositors, conceptually analogous to interest income. However, an interesting alternative is that they represent a deliberate effort to build loyalty--that is, to create a form of switching costs. To the extent that other elements of their business model are also devoted to creating and exploiting deposit stickiness, it may make more sense for banks to make complementary investments of this sort in enhancing customer loyalty. By contrast, a money market fund complex--which also takes deposits, but which invests exclusively in short-term assets--has less reason to spend as heavily on a branch network.
Conclusion
Let me summarize. The creation of private money--that is, safe claims that are useful for transactions purposes--is obviously central to what banks do. But safe claims can be manufactured from risky collateral in different ways, and banks are not the only type of intermediary that engages in this activity. What makes banks unique is that they use a particular combination of financial and institutional arrangements--including capital, deposit insurance, and access to a lender of last resort--as well as substantial investments in bricks and mortar, to create liabilities that are not only safe and money-like, but also relatively stable and thus unlikely to run at the first sign of trouble. This is in contrast to shadow banks, who create money-like claims more cheaply, by relying on an early exit option, and who are therefore more vulnerable to runs and the accompanying fire-sale risk.
I have argued that there is a synergy between banks' stable funding model and their investing in assets that have modest fundamental risk but whose prices can fall significantly below fundamental values in a bad state of the world. This synergy helps explain both why deposit-taking banks might have a comparative advantage at making information-intensive loans and, at the same time, why they tend to hold the specific types of securities that they do.

Few shows have been met with as much critical praise as the second season of FX's Fargo. Credit can be thrown in many directions, but much of the violent, dark, humorous and all-engaging drama's success is due to its fantastic casting. From main players like Patrick Wilson's small-town police offer, Lou Solverson, and his partner/father-in-law, Hank Larsson, played exquisitely by Ted Danson, to secondary roles like Jean Smart's devilish Floyd Gerhardt and Bokeem Woodbine's maniacal Mike Milligan, the swerving tale of Midwest crime syndicates mixed with down-home values is peppered with brilliant performances.
None is as engrossing as Kirsten Dunst's Peggy Blumquist. A stuck-in-a-rut hairdresser, equal parts sympathetic and psychotic, she transitions from a stifled wife to a self-motivated woman on a mission for self-redemption. Dunst captures the delicate seesaw balance of Peggy's aw-shucks Midwest mentality and a dangerous desperation that spills over into violent acts. To that end, yesterday it was announced she'd been nominated for a Golden Globe for 'Best actress in a TV movie or limited series.'
In the lead-up to the show's season two finale on Sunday night, Esquire talked with Dunst about Peggy's wavering levels of sanity, the genius of Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley, and why she and her onscreen husband, Jesse Plemons' Ed the Butcher, are "like two peas in a pod."
ESQ: Peggy shouldn't be an easy character to root for. But we can't help but love her.
Kirsten Dunst:That's good! That means I did a good job! [laughs] I mean, she's a wild character. You root for her because she's so gung-ho about her whole plan for [her and Ed]. And in a way they're coming together and working together because of this crisis.
This being a 10-episode series, were you forced to dive deeper into this character than if this were a film role?
My process is the same for everything I do, but this is more of a commitment and a longer time being with a character. Not that I feel like I immerse myself less in other things; it's just that this did take really long and we were very isolated up in Calgary. We all lived and breathed Fargo. I hadn't been on a movie that took five months in a long time. Usually it's a few months at the most.
One can't help but feel some sort of sympathy for Peggy early in the season. It seems like she's trapped in this small-town life with Ed.
We filmed a scene that was cut out with Peg and her fiancé, which wasn't Ed. They go into the butcher shop and he's going to Vietnam. And he says to Ed, "If anything happens to me take care of her." So there was this back history that we didn't really show: that Peggy had a fiancé that died in the war. You could tell from the beginning that she is someone who is pushing down a lot of stuff. I think this just opens up her.
Even in the first episode she didn't seem particularly thrilled with the prospect of starting a family with Ed.
Yeah. She still has her plans to go to California and be a celebrity hairdresser. She hasn't given up on that yet. And I know Life Spring [conference] was definitely her way to fulfill those dreams.
In the previous few episodes we start to see that Peggy may not be mentally stable. She hoards old magazines. She thinks nothing of stabbing a man repeatedly. Did you view her as an insane character?
I don't think of her as insane. I just can't. I have to make sure everything comes from a real place. I think having that vision that she has in the garage [where she hallucinates a therapist] really gave her this new understanding of what she needs to do. Nothing's going to stop her. I think it gave her that high energy I imagine when people go to church and people say they have been cured of being blind or they speak in tongues…that's her version of that. This is her high on that spiritual journey. Nothing can kill her. Nothing can stop her.
Virtually every single scene you did on Fargo was with Jesse Plemons.
Jesse and I were like two peas in a pod pretty much from the start. We're a similar type of actors. And he's just a great guy. We got along so well from the beginning. So a friendship was immediately there. We would work on our scenes the night before because the dialogue is so quick and there's such a rhythm to way these scenes go. We were totally immersed as one unit. We had each other's back the whole time.
I get the sense that as the season progresses Ed starts to wonder whether Peggy might be crazy.
The way we saw it is there is a weird love story in here. They weren't doing that well before all this happened and weirdly doing all this bonded them. It's a very co-dependent relationship. He has to protect her because she's not well. But also, if he admits that she's not well then he has to admit that there's something wrong with him. So I think it's just one of those vicious cycles of a bad relationship [laughs].
Let's talk about your initial involvement. I know you've said you were a major fan of the show's first season. Was it your love of Season one or the scripts for this one that sold you?
It was the scripts I read. Meeting with Noah [Hawley]—he's such an intuitive brilliant man—I wanted to be part of it. I knew he was going to create something special again. He's his own genius, for sure.
Showrunners like Noah have become a revered breed in the TV world.
I don't know what every showrunner does on every show but I'm assuming it's with the same level of dedication [as Noah]. With Noah, he wasn't around all the time but he was always around to talk to. He was editing while we were filming and he directed one of the episodes as well. In terms of Fargo, Noah is so hands-on. Most of the music you're hearing Noah picked out. He's so immersed in the world.
I know you can't reveal anything about Monday's season finale, but in the first episode as well as in last week's a UFO appears. People have been quite divided on how to feel about its role or meaning. Peggy though, for her part, had a fitting line: "It's just a flying saucer, Ed. We gotta go."
[Laughs] I thought, "Oh, this is weird!" But that's kind of what the Coen Brothers do too. So since it fits in with what they do it didn't surprise me. Didn't Billy Bob [Thornton] see a UFO or something in one of their movies? I think he did.
Yes, you're right! In 2001's The Man Who Wasn't There.
And also, why not?! It was that time when everyone was paranoid. So I think it fits in with that.
I hear you were so concentrated on your scenes that you didn't even know how the plot was advancing as a whole?
I've been kind of watching along with the rest of you guys, to be honest. | positive |
New Zealand opener Tom Latham says the Black Caps are confident they can overcome their minimal experience in Australia and make history with success in November’s three-Test series.
The Kiwis haven’t won a Test series in Australia since the legendary Sir Richard Hadlee spearheaded a 2-1 triumph 30 summers ago, but on their last visit across the Tasman, in December 2011, they shocked the Australians by levelling the two-match series one-all.
Quick Single: New Zealand full tour schedule
The 15-man touring party has just 21 Test caps in Australia between them, while no batsman in the squad can boast a Test century in the country.
Latham, who averages 47.33 in eight Tests outside New Zealand with two hundreds in his brief career to date, has already shown he knows what it takes to succeed in foreign conditions.
“It’s about finding a way to play in different conditions as quickly as possible,” he told cricket.com.au. “We’re going to have to adapt when we get over there. Obviously conditions will be different to what we’re used to, with a bit more pace and bounce.
“We’ll be talking to our senior players who have played a little bit over there and try to get a bit of knowledge about what it’s like playing over there.
“So it’s another test, we’ll have to play differently there. If we can work that out in the warm-up games, and then (take those lessons) into the Tests, we’ll give ourselves a good chance.”
Quick Single: Faulkner eager to capitalise on recall
Unbeaten in Test series losing a five-match battle in England 2-0 in mid-2013, New Zealand are currently enjoying the most productive period of their 85-year history, with the attacking brand of cricket instilled by the leadership duo of coach Mike Hesson and captain Brendon McCullum largely credited for the change in fortune.
Latham says that run of success has the team believing they can end their country’s drought in Australia.
“The cricket we’ve been playing the last couple of years has got us some good results,” he said. “Hopefully we can lean on that experience.
“We’re certainly confident. We know we’ve got a good side and if we turn up for the three Tests, then we’ll give ourselves a good chance of being successful.
“We haven’t won over there for a while but the last time we were there we managed to win that Test in Hobart and draw the series, so hopefully we can go one better this time and win the series.”
With Australia’s Test squad very much in a state of flux following a host of recent retirements, the Steve Smith-led side is set to enter a home summer with their own relatively inexperienced XI.
Quick Single: Cummins optimistic despite setback
Yet despite the Ashes hiding and the turnover in personnel, Latham doesn’t believe the line-up New Zealand are set to face is any less daunting than those of the recent past.
“As we’ve seen in the past, the Aussies in their home conditions are a very good side,” the 23-year-old said.
“Yes, they’ve had a few retirements and there’s a few different faces, but we know they’re going to be a massive challenge and they’re going to push us every step of the way.
“So I wouldn’t say it’s going to be any easier. It’s a challenge we’re looking forward to.”
The third match of the series will be cricket’s first-ever day-night Test match, to be held in Adelaide on November 27, and after much trialling and conjecture surrounding the use of a pink ball, Latham says the Black Caps will have sufficient preparation with the different ball.
Quick Single: Kiwi quicks embrace the pink ball
“It’s exciting. There’s history to be made there and we’ve got plenty of warm-up games with the pink ball leading into that (third Test), so hopefully we’ll be able to see how it reacts under lights and during the day,” he added.
“We need to get a little bit of information from the ball but at the end of the day it’s still round and you’ve still got to hit it and catch it.”
The first Test begins at the Gabba on November 5, with the young opening batsman eagerly anticipating the possibility of heading to the middle with bat in hand on the opening morning of an Australian summer.
"There’ll certainly be nerves, and I’m certainly really excited for it," he said. "There’s something a little bit different about this series, with the media and all the build-up.
"We haven’t played Australia for a while so to have a three-Test series against them in their home country is pretty cool.
"Certainly now it’s exciting but I think the nerves will start to kick in a little bit closer to the time." | positive |

Last night’s “Newbie’s Guide to HTML and CSS” class went much better than the first one, which is to say, I didn’t feel like apologizing profusely to the students as they walked, bleary eyed and slack jawed to the door. That was last time, when I fell prey to Librarian Information Expansion Syndrome and kept piling detail upon detail on them. This time, I glossed over details but tried to give a big picture overview of what these 2 languages do. This is a 90 minute class and that is just not enough to make experts out of beginners. So, I tried to impart concepts and then a few important examples, a little time for them to try it on their own and then I gave them resources to help get them started, like my fave, codeacademy. They seemed to take pretty well when, at the climax of the class, I showed them how to link their CSS stylesheet to their HTML page and VIOLA! The future!…*nothing happens* cough, cough…THE FUTURE!…*still, nothing*. So painful. So, I know to test little things like that even though I’ve made that link a thousand times….

WASHINGTON: India may abandon its ' no first use ' nuclear policy and launch a preemptive strike against Pakistan if it feared that Islamabad was likely to use the weapons first, a top nuclear expert on South Asia has claimed.The remarks by Vipin Narang , an expert on South Asian nuclear strategy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, before a Washington audience was though a negation of India's stated policy of 'no first use'.During the 2017 Carnegie International Nuclear Policy Conference, Narang said, "There is increasing evidence that India will not allow Pakistan to go first".He said India "may" abandon the policy and launch a preemptive strike against Pakistan if it believed that Pakistan was going to use nuclear weapons or most likely the tactical nuclear weapons against it.But, he pointed out, India's preemptive strike may not be conventional strikes and would also be aimed at Pakistan's missiles launchers for tactical battlefield nuclear warheads."India's opening salvo may not be conventional strikes trying to pick off just Nasr batteries in the theatre, but a full 'comprehensive counterforce strike' that attempts to completely disarm Pakistan of its nuclear weapons so that India does not have to engage in iterative tit-for-tat exchanges and expose its own cities to nuclear destruction," Narang said.He said this thinking surfaces not from fringe extreme voices or retired Indian Army officers frustrated by the lack of resolve they believe their government has shown in multiple provocations, but from no less than a former Commander of India's Strategic Forces, Lt Gen BS Nagal.It also comes perhaps more importantly and authoritatively, from the highly-respected and influential former national security adviser Shivshankar Menon in his 2016 book 'Choices: Inside the Making of Indian Foreign Policy', the nuclear strategist said."Serious voices, who cannot be ignored, seem to suggest that this is where India may be heading, and certainly wants to head," Narang said."So our conventional understanding of South Asia's nuclear dynamics and who, in fact, might use nuclear weapons first and in what mode may need a hard rethink given these emerging authoritative voices in India who are not content to cede the nuclear initiative to Pakistan," he said, adding that this would mark a major shift in Indian strategy if implemented."In short, we may be witnessing what I call a 'decoupling' of Indian nuclear strategy between China and Pakistan."Sameer Lalwani, senior associate and deputy director South Asia at the Stimson Center, an American think-tank, said Narang's remarks challenged the conventional wisdom of South Asia's strategic stability problem.Based on recent statements and writings of high-level national security officials (serving and retired), Narang argued that India may be exhibiting a "seismic shift" in its nuclear strategy from 'no first use' to a preemptive nuclear counterforce allowing for escalation dominance or a "splendid first strike" against Pakistan, Lalwani said. | positive |

Four-year-old Lucas Valera is a natural dancer. Pop on some tunes, and the youngster with Down syndrome is quick to cut a rug. But when Lucas was enrolled in an Edmonton dance program, within about 15 minutes from the start of his first class, the studio’s owner told his parents that he wasn’t welcome.
“When we were about to leave, I said that we could be there with him in the class or we could have an aide with him,” Lucas’s mother, Nancy Andaya, told CTV Edmonton. “It's just a horrible feeling as a parent.”
Before the class, Andaya says that she spoke with the owner about her son’s condition. During the class, Lucas' parents even remained nearby to watch him groove with the other four-year-olds. They say that although Lucas was distracted at times, he also joined the group. They were shocked when they were told that Lucas wasn’t ready for the structured program. They wish he would have been given more of a chance.
“Lucas has been a dancer since very little, actually,” Andaya said. “Before he turned one.”
In an email sent to CTV Edmonton, the owner of the dance studio claims to have several students with disabilities in their classes, “including a deaf child with an implant as well as children with cerebral palsy."
Then why was Lucas barred from the class?
"I felt he did not respond to verbal instruction from either myself, my teacher or the parent," the owner said.
To help with situations like this, the Edmonton Down Syndrome Society has created a new position. For the past several months, Julie Boucher has been tasked with visiting local businesses, schools and daycares to offer free sessions on how to include children living with Down syndrome.
“That is what the Edmonton Down Syndrome Society tries to do, is teach all our community members that people with Down syndrome should be included in all of the resources that we have out there,” Boucher told CTV Edmonton.
As for little Lucas, his family has now found a dance studio where he can strut his stuff.
“We don't need special treatment,” Andaya said. “Just equal opportunity.”

Locked up in a Swiss vault, among many items in a family's private collection, the portrait of Isabella d’Este remained hidden from the world. The owners of the artwork likely did not know even know what they had on their hands.
But, after carbon dating and thorough analysis by experts, the portrait has been verified as a Leonardo da Vinci original, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera's Sette magazine.
The da Vinci painting, which depicts noblewoman Isabella d’Este, is believed to be a final version of a chalk sketch of the same woman. Like the circa 1500 drawing, which is currently on display in the Louvre, the da Vinci portrait measures 61 by 46.5 centimeters (24 by 18 inches) and illustrates its subject in profile, the Agence France-Presse reports.
At the time, Isabella d’Este sought out da Vinci in order to have her portrait painted. For centuries, art historians assumed that da Vinci had merely sketched the Marchesa of Mantua and failed to complete a painting of his drawing -- or that the painting was lost.
However, if expert authentication is to be believed, it seems the painting was not lost, but hidden through the centuries.
Renown da Vinci expert Carlo Pedretti had a hand in the verification and told the Italian-language magazine that he has no doubt that the portrait is a work of da Vinci. He added that it may be take several months to confirm what aspects of the painting were contributed by da Vinci's students.
But another expert, the University of Oxford's Martin Kemp, has his doubts. The art historian told The Daily Telegraph that da Vinci favored wooden boards, rather than canvas, which the Isabella d’Este portrait is painted on.
Last year, another painting thought to be a da Vinci work was uncovered in a Scottish farmhouse. Experts have yet to reveal if the estimated 500-year-old portrait of Madonna and child is authenticate. But, if it is the real-deal, the painting could be worth more than $150 million. | positive |

Story highlights Three premises have been agreed upon for a Security Council resolution, source says
The team will try to determine if a chemical weapons attack took place in Khan al-Asal
Syria says 25 people were killed there in March
The U.N. has already confirmed a chemical weapons attack near Damascus
U.N. inspectors returned to Syria on Wednesday to look into at least a half-dozen claims of chemical weapons use -- some allegedly by the regime, others allegedly by rebels.
The team has already confirmed the August 21 use of chemical warfare near Damascus but did not explicitly say who was responsible. According to U.S. estimates, that attack left more than 1,400 people dead.
The move came the same day a U.N. diplomat told CNN that three basic premises have been agreed upon for a U.N. Security Council resolution on Syria's chemical weapons disarmament.
Russia has basically agreed to the points, but "small issues" remain to be decided, the source said.
The deal could still fall apart.
According to the source, the three premises are: 1. Accountability for attacks on August 21; 2. Binding and enforceable language for measures against Syria in case of violations in the disarmament regime or the use of chemical weapons; 3. The council will remain seized of the matter, meaning that further discussion will be expedited.
The resolution would not authorize automatic use of force if Syria is said to be in violation, as was previously sought by the United States, the source said.
Among their tasks, investigators will try to figure out if chemical weapons were used in the northern city of Khan al-Asal in March. State-run media blamed rebels for the attack, which it said killed 25 people and injured more than 110 others. Syrian rebels, meanwhile, accused government forces of a chemical weapons attack on the rural Damascus suburb of Ateibeh.
But the inspectors face a litany of challenges, like trying to find physical and forensic evidence from more than six months ago.

Then there's the security situation. During the inspectors' last visit, mortar shells landed near their hotel in Damascus, and their convoy came under fire while en route to a scene.
And just like their investigation into the August 21 attack, the inspectors will only try to determine whether chemical weapons were used during this trip, not who was responsible. | positive |
Discussions of Abel Ferrara’s career usually center around Ms. 45, King of New York, and Bad Lieutenant, a trifecta of gritty dives into urban life through the eyes of a disturbed series of characters. Ferrara has a natural gift for the illuminating the street-level view of the world, and despite a somewhat erratic filmography, has managed to leave an indelible mark on American cinema. His work has managed to strike that rare balance between the artful savant and the shock and awe of the grindhouse auteur, and while many of his films explore this dichotomy, none reveal a more drastic clash between style and substance than his debut film: The Driller Killer.
Filmed on the cheap in 1977 and ’78, Ferrara made extensive use of his own Union Square apartment as well as places nearby owned by friends to shoot his debut feature and, like another film I reviewed recently, C.H.U.D., the audience gets an in depth look at the New York that was back in the halcyon days of punk rock. Beyond the time frame, the film is perhaps best known for its placement on the infamous list of “Video Nasties” in the United Kingdom, a collection of films that violated the U.K.’s decency laws and were banned outright or cut down to various lengths to get by the censors. This wave of gore heavy, sexualized, and otherwise “strange” films maintain an aura of cult credibility even today. Keeping up their track record of dragging the crazy and the cult into the light of high definition, Arrow Video has brought The Driller Killer to Blu-ray. Is it worth the deep dive into grindhouse mayhem? Let’s take a look.
The Film – 3.5/5:
Artist Reno Miller (played deftly by Ferrara himself) lives with a pair of girlfriends in a Union Square apartment where he is nearly completion of his latest painting. Making a scant living on his artwork, Reno oscillates between extreme boredom and explosive bouts of inspiration, with bouts of drug use in between. Under growing pressure to finish the piece and make enough to pay rent, Reno demands an advance on his latest project, and when that doesn’t come through, his rage escalates. Compounding his frustration, a punk band moves in downstairs and plays through the night, denying Reno any solace to sleep or work. As his fits begin to take a toll on his relationships, latent violent instincts come to light and Reno comes face to face with the killer inside.
Ferrara’s film is frantic and edited with very little regard for continuity, but where this may fall apart in a more traditional narrative, Ferrara’s erratic style gives the film a kinetic energy that dovetails in well with the degeneration of Reno’s moral code and his psyche. The transformation from brooding artist into deranged killer is the crux of the film, and much of the style that Ferrara brings to the table enhances the narrative. Sidetracks into the apartment of the band playing in the building give the audience time to brood on the developments that have come so far and further enhance the shifting mood of the film.
The Video – 3.5/5:
Shot on 16mm film, The Driller Killer arrives in high definition in a faithful presentation of the film from its original elements. Markedly cheaper than film stock used for most features, Ferrara’s tight budget for the film likely necessitated the use of 16mm. While the film itself suffers from a lack of detail and clarity that’s endemic to the film used, I cannot fault Arrow’s presentation of the film, as it faithfully captures the essence of the film with what is likely its sharpest presentation to date. A new 4k scan of both the theatrical and the “pre-release” cut of the film has been prepared for this release, and each can be seen in a choice of aspect ratios: 1.85:1 and 1:37.1. The inclusion of the “pre-release” cut is unique to this release of the film as it includes material Ferrara deliberately left on the cutting floor. On a whole, this is a strong presentation of a print marred with problems endemic not only to the stock used but also to the wear and tear of time gone by. I would find it hard to believe that fans of Ferrara’s other works and “video nasties” as a whole will be anything other than thrilled.
The Audio – 3.5/5:
Where the visuals receive a bevy of options, each of the films is accompanied by the same uncompressed mono track. While this maintains a faithful presentation of the film, it is difficult not to feel disappointed that an attempt wasn’t made to utilize a dynamic range for a film which uses music so effectively. The mono track itself is well balanced and plays without issues, but is otherwise unremarkable.
The Packaging & Extras – 4/5:
Beyond the fantastic visual presentation, Arrow delivers the goods on this release with two fantastic featurettes. Willing and Abel: Ferraraology 101 is a tour through the filmography which makes up Ferrara’s career, presented by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas who previously had authored a book on Ferrara’s cult classic follow-up film Ms. 45. The other, Mulberry St, is a feature-length documentary presented by Ferrara himself, as he tours and discusses the locations used in shooting for the film. This documentary is a fascinating piece of time travel where Ferrara brings alive a New York that has now been lost to history. In addition, a new interview with Ferrara and a new audio commentary track by Ferrara and Brad Stevens, a Ferrara expert, was recorded for this release. From Arrow’s database:
• Brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative of the never-before-seen pre-release version and the theatrical cut
• High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentations in both 1.85:1 and 1.37:1 aspect ratios
• Original Uncompressed Mono PCM audio

While somewhat amateurish compared to his later works, Ferrara’s The Driller Killer still demonstrates a deft hand at the beginning of what would be a stellar career in film. For this release, Arrow has compiled a strong visual presentation with a variety of presentation options that will be sure to please Ferrara fans and cult film aficionados alike. Pairing the stellar release with two very strong featurettes, one a full-length documentary focused on the locations in the film, makes this release one of Arrow’s best to date.

wide area surveillance network
nation-wide
in every cell-phone, PDA
new "E911-emergency" network
"Homeland Security Chip"
Wide area surveillance is defined here as the ability to detect a threat anywhere over a wide geographical area such as a large city, a county, a State or even an entire country. Since the attacks of Sep. 11, 2001 in the United States, this issue has become critical for countries that are concerned with broad and indiscriminate large-scale terrorist threats .
The US White House Office of Homeland Security has recognized this problem and has correctly pointed out in its National Strategy for Homeland Security (July 2002) that effective wide area surveillance in a large country like the United States can only be accomplished with the broad participation of the public.
In a first embodiment a widely used electronic device such as a mobile phone, a PDA or a watch having telecommunication capabilities, and the associated wireless networks thereof are used as a basis to provide a new type of technology platform for a nationwide surveillance system to detect a potential terrorist threat.
The system provides all the necessary automated components for unique identification, two-way communication, geolocation and associated electronics
Assuming that such monitoring capabilities are directly built in mobile phones and that this capability is either mandated by Governments or by organizations such as the FCC in the United States or is voluntarily adopted by mobile phonemanufacturers who realize the benefit of providing such new dual use technology to its consumers (either as a swappable sensor module or a built-in component), the following scenarios can be envisioned.
A third basic technology that is used herein is any of the emergency systems currently in place including the 911 system and the emerging Enhanced 911 (or E911) system in the United States. Additional emergency response systems include the Homeland Security networks being put in place in the US , military networks, police networks or systems that are either existing or being installed by individual industries, States or Governments concerned with given security issues.
In addition to the above applications, by using advanced micro and nano fabrication technologies , a single "Homeland Security" chip may be built that includes on a single chip the functions of wireless communication, geolocation and external threat detection for chemical, radiological and biological hazards or a combination thereof.
The mobile phone and threat assessment technology may include anti-tampering features for some security applications and may allow transparent dial in into the surveillance networks, as described below.
Heads up! Looks like Homeland Security isinterested in creating a new, covering the entire United States.system, implemented with government-mandated taper-resistant computer chips, embedded, and other portable electronic device.Wonder what the FCC's been doing, clearingamounts of radio-wave spectrum for a? Supposedly, it's for "first-responders", but -- guess what? -- it's the perfect platform for this new omni-present electronic surveillance system!Imagine every cell-phone with built-in secure communications to this surveillance network, precise GPS locators, and a specialto detect chemical, biological, and radiological "events of interest".Sound like? Fiction? It's not! Just over a month ago, a patent was issued which enables! Someexcerpts from the patent, which has just been made available online:Since it seems like they're building this network anyway, ignoring public concerns (for example, the FCCall public input into the spectrum-allocation process),are they going to make everyone think this chip is a "good idea"? Or will they just sneak it in with some other requirements? | positive |
Computers that can comprehend messy data such as images could revolutionize what technology can do for us.
A new kind of computer chip, unveiled by IBM today, takes design cues from the wrinkled outer layer of the human brain. Though it is no match for a conventional microprocessor at crunching numbers, the chip consumes significantly less power, and is vastly better suited to processing images, sound, and other sensory data.
New thinking: IBM has built a processor designed using principles at work in your brain.
IBM’s SyNapse chip processes information using a network of just over one million “neurons,” which communicate with one another using electrical spikes—as actual neurons do. The chip uses the same basic components as today’s commercial chips—silicon transistors. But its transistors are configured to mimic the behavior of both neurons and the connections—synapses—between them.
The SyNapse chip breaks with a design known as the Von Neumann architecture that has underpinned computer chips for decades. Although researchers have been experimenting with chips modeled on brains—known as neuromorphic chips—since the late 1980s, until now all have been many times less complex, and not powerful enough to be practical (see “Thinking in Silicon”). Details of the chip were published today in the journal Science.
The new chip is not yet a product, but it is powerful enough to work on real-world problems. In a demonstration at IBM’s Almaden research center, MIT Technology Review saw one recognize cars, people, and bicycles in video of a road intersection. A nearby laptop that had been programed to do the same task processed the footage 100 times slower than real time, and it consumed 100,000 times as much power as the IBM chip. IBM researchers are now experimenting with connecting multiple SyNapse chips together, and they hope to build a supercomputer using thousands.
When data is fed into a SyNapse chip it causes a stream of spikes, and its neurons react with a storm of further spikes. The just over one million neurons on the chip are organized into 4,096 identical blocks of 250, an arrangement inspired by the structure of mammalian brains, which appear to be built out of repeating circuits of 100 to 250 neurons, says Dharmendra Modha, chief scientist for brain-inspired computing at IBM. Programming the chip involves choosing which neurons are connected, and how strongly they influence one another. To recognize cars in video, for example, a programmer would work out the necessary settings on a simulated version of the chip, which would then be transferred over to the real thing.
In recent years, major breakthroughs in image analysis and speech recognition have come from using large, simulated neural networks to work on data (see “Deep Learning”). But those networks require giant clusters of conventional computers. As an example, Google’s famous neural network capable of recognizing cat and human faces required 1,000 computers with 16 processors apiece (see “Self-Taught Software”).
Although the new SyNapse chip has more transistors than most desktop processors, or any chip IBM has ever made, with over five billion, it consumes strikingly little power. When running the traffic video recognition demo, it consumed just 63 milliwatts of power. Server chips with similar numbers of transistors consume tens of watts of power—around 10,000 times more.
The efficiency of conventional computers is limited because they store data and program instructions in a block of memory that’s separate from the processor that carries out instructions. As the processor works through its instructions in a linear sequence, it has to constantly shuttle information back and forth from the memory store—a bottleneck that slows things down and wastes energy.
IBM’s new chip doesn’t have separate memory and processing blocks, because its neurons and synapses intertwine the two functions. And it doesn’t work on data in a linear sequence of operations; individual neurons simply fire when the spikes they receive from other neurons cause them to.
Horst Simon, the deputy director of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and an expert in supercomputing, says that until now the industry has focused on tinkering with the Von Neumann approach rather than replacing it, for example by using multiple processors in parallel, or using graphics processors to speed up certain types of calculations. The new chip “may be a historic development,” he says. “The very low power consumption and scalability of this architecture are really unique.”
One downside is that IBM’s chip requires an entirely new approach to programming. Although the company announced a suite of tools geared toward writing code for its forthcoming chip last year (see “IBM Scientists Show Blueprints for Brainlike Computing”), even the best programmers find learning to work with the chip bruising, says Modha: “It’s almost always a frustrating experience.” His team is working to create a library of ready-made blocks of code to make the process easier.
Asking the industry to adopt an entirely new kind of chip and way of coding may seem audacious. But IBM may find a receptive audience because it is becoming clear that current computers won’t be able to deliver much more in the way of performance gains. “This chip is coming at the right time,” says Simon. | positive |
A judge has ruled that the US government must prove that Bradley Manning knowingly helped al-Qaeda by leaking secret documents to the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks to convict him of aiding the enemy.
Judge Denise Lind's ruling at a preliminary hearing in a Baltimore, Maryland, court on Wednesday raises the bar for convicting Manning, a US army private, of the most serious charge he faces.
Manning, 25, has admitted leaking the documents but denies aiding the enemy.
Colonel Lind said the prosecution in the military tribunal must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Manning had "reason to believe such information could be used to the injury of the US", by an armed group like al-Qaeda or another nation.
The judge also ruled that the government could call as a witness one of the commandos who took part in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
The Navy SEAL would testify on condition of anonymity that documents leaked to WikiLeaks were found in the al-Qaeda leader's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Prosecutors said the Navy SEAL collected digital evidence showing that the al-Qaeda leader requested and received from an associate some of the documents Manning had acknowledged sending to Julian Assange's WikiLeaks website.
Defence lawyers had argued that proof of receipt was irrelevant to whether Manning aided the enemy, the most serious charge he faces, punishable by life imprisonment.
Exposing 'bloodlust'
Manning is accused of sending hundreds of thousands of Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports, State Department diplomatic cables, other classified records and two battlefield video clips to WikiLeaks in 2009 and 2010 while working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad.
He said in February that he had leaked secret war logs and diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks and he would plead guilty to 10 of the less serious charges against him, which could see him sentenced to 20 years in military custody.
Manning said in a statement he read aloud in court on February 28 that he sent the material to the anti-secrecy website to expose the American military's "bloodlust" and disregard for human life in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The hearing, due to end later on Wednesday, was the first since a group pressing for more government transparency flouted a military ban by releasing a secretly recorded audio clip of Manning's testimony.
The leak marked the first time since Manning was arrested in May 2010 that the world had heard his voice.
It was secretly taped on February 28 when Manning explained why he funnelled US military and State Department documents to WikiLeaks from November 2009 to May 2010.
As a result, mobile phones and recording devices, previously only banned inside the courtroom, are now outlawed in the press gallery as well, where the hearing is being broadcast.
Manning's trial is due to begin on June 3 at Fort Meade near Washington. | positive |
With Lance Lynn scheduled to start on Tuesday, it stood to reason the Cardinals would probably need a major contribution out of their relievers if they wanted to push the Dodgers to the brink of elimination. Indeed, the Cardinals did push the Dodgers to the brink, and indeed, the Cardinals did get a lot of help from their relief, with Seth Maness, Carlos Martinez, and Trevor Rosenthal holding the Dodgers scoreless from the sixth. But maybe the Cardinals’ most important reliever wasn’t a relief pitcher at all. Maybe it was another guy who handled the final four innings.
Obviously, the Cardinals had more visible heroes. Lynn himself pitched decently well into the sixth, all things considered. Matt Holliday hit a big dinger. Shane Robinson hit an insurance dinger. Matt Carpenter drove home the first run with a double. There was no one guy who allowed the Cardinals to win — a lot of different parts had to come together just right. Among those parts, though, was Pete Kozma, who helped his team in the playoffs in a much less surprising way than he did a year ago. Last October, for pretty much no reason, Kozma hit. Tuesday, Kozma just played the field.
I think a good way to sum up the Cardinals’ shortstop situation is that Daniel Descalso started in a playoff game because Mike Matheny wanted more offense. Tuesday, Kozma didn’t actually play until the bottom of the sixth, when he went in to play short and Descalso slid over to third. Armed with a lead, this was the Cardinals’ preferred defensive alignment, and though defensive replacements seldom make much of an impact in the later innings, Kozma helped to preserve this game. There’s an argument, not altogether ridiculous, that Kozma turned out to be the Cardinals’ most important player. I don’t know if I believe it, but I might as well advance it.
First of all, by the way, Kozma did bat once. He got hit by a pitch. He didn’t score and it didn’t matter, and it boosted the Cardinals’ win expectancy by about 1%. A little more than that, but it’s hardly worth being more specific. Kozma didn’t do anything good or bad at the plate — he made a difference in the field.
And he made a difference on two plays. The first of them happened almost immediately. It was 3-2 in the sixth, and the Dodgers had one on with one out. In came Maness, up came Juan Uribe, and out went a grounder, to Kozma’s right on a 1-and-1 sinker. Off the bat it looked like the ball could find a hole, but Kozma was able to gobble it up, and then some:
Carpenter, it has to be said, made a hell of a turn with Yasiel Puig flying right at him, and this double play wasn’t turned by one man. But Kozma started it by making a good backhand in the hole. He then made a quick and accurate throw to second while falling away from the bag, a throw in plenty of time to beat the runner, and it was a throw that left Carpenter in good position to get the ball to first quickly. Kozma’s made a habit of this kind of fade-away throw to second and there are few better at it around baseball. This double play ended the Dodgers’ inning.
The Cardinals’ approximate win expectancy jumped from 64% to 73%. And though we can’t know what would’ve happened were it not for Kozma, remember the guy whose place he took:
Descalso is not a good defensive shortstop. He’s not even a particularly good defensive second or third baseman. Kozma is a good defensive shortstop. Descalso might not have been able to turn that same play into anything, were he presented with the opportunity. Let’s quickly review the options.
Had the ball gotten through for a single, putting runners on first and second, the Cardinals’ win expectancy would have dropped to about 56%. Had there been a fielder’s choice at second, their win expectancy would have been about 69%. Had there been an out at first, with the runner advancing to second, their win expectancy would have been about 66%. It’s impossible to isolate Kozma’s contribution, given the lack of a control experiment and given Carpenter’s turn, but this rather easily could’ve been a not-double-play. That would’ve been worse news, for the Cardinals, in a one-run affair.
The next defensive play where Kozma made a difference came an inning later, when the margin had been pushed to 4-2. The Dodgers were dealing with the reality of a game without Hanley Ramirez, but with one out, Nick Punto played the part of a slugger, doubling over Jon Jay’s head. The Cardinals stood about a 79% chance of winning, but the stadium came back alive, having fallen silent after the Uribe double play and Robinson homer. From there it took zero pitches for the Cardinals to make the stadium fall silent once more.
Their win expectancy jumped to 88%. If I heard the postgame show right, this was just the 24th time all season that a runner has been picked off second. It was Martinez who made a perfect throw, and it was Kozma who applied a tag to an over-aggressive Punto. Punto said later it was a lonely feeling, and he was too concentrated on trying to get himself to third with one out. Long-time Punto observers will recall previous instances in which Punto made what appeared to be a boneheaded mistake.
So what was this pickoff play all about?
“That was unbelievable,” Cards manager Mike Matheny said. “That’s instigated by Kozma, so great heads-up play by him.”
More:
The pickoff play was not called. It was all unspoken communication between Kozma and Martinez, which is what made it all the more impressive[…] “I saw him get a few steps off [second base], like he was getting ready to steal,” Kozma said. “And then he stopped. “As soon as he stopped, I got behind him and Carlos saw me. The timing was perfect.”
The earlier double play couldn’t have happened without Carpenter, but it was Kozma who got everything started. The pickoff of Punto couldn’t have happened without Martinez, but it was Kozma, again, who got everything started. The double play highlighted Kozma’s first step, range, and arm. The pickoff highlighted his instincts, creativity, and situational awareness. It required a sudden movement and accurate throw from Martinez, to say nothing of timing and his own awareness, but the attempt was Kozma’s idea. A big hit requires a swing, but also a pitch. This pickoff required an idea and a throw. What wind there was in the Dodgers’ sails abruptly stopped blowing, and it wouldn’t pick back up the rest of the way. They were done in by a double play and a pickoff, two plays in which Pete Kozma was deeply involved.
Because win probability added is so imperfect, and because it’s so difficult to divide up responsibility, we can’t know the true magnitude of Kozma’s contribution. We don’t know what would have happened with a different shortstop, and we’ll never be able to. But Kozma unquestionably played a critical role in the Cardinals’ preserving their late lead. If you want to speak in win-expectancy terms, it’s not too much of a stretch to say Kozma was the game’s most helpful player. Maybe that’s not at all true, I don’t know, but the Cardinals got help from one of their shortstops. At the end of the day, that’s all they can ask for. | positive |

(AP) NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! EUREKA, Calif. – A red panda is missing on California's far north coast. The tiny creature named Masala disappeared from the Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka sometime between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Thursday. Zoo manager Gretchen Ziegler tells the Times-Standard newspaper that anyone who spots the 1 1/2-year-old panda should not approach it but try not to lose sight of it and call the zoo or police. Ziegler says the biggest threat to Masala would be cars or an animal that preys on small animals. Red pandas are about the size of house cats but have big tails. It's unclear how the panda disappeared. Ziegler says the enclosure seems secure, but zookeepers are watching the exhibit's three other pandas. Red pandas are native to Nepal, Myanmar and China.

The German Shepherd Husky mix is a hybrid of two highly intelligent and popular working breeds – the German Shepherd and the Siberian Husky. While each breed has their own unique set of traits and temperament, a German Shepherd Husky mix will typically present with some characteristics that come from both breeds, though it’s not unusual for the offspring of a cross between these two purebreds to take after one parent more predominantly than the other.
As a hybrid that appears to be growing significantly in popularity, German Shepherd Husky mixes are one of the so-called ‘designer dog’ breeds. In addition to being hard-working, loyal and usually personable, these mixes also tend to be wonderfully striking in appearance, often maintaining the typical Shepherd patterning, but gaining the blue eyes that are characteristic of the Husky breed. Inexperienced owners who choose this breed based only on looks, however, may find themselves in over their head, as both parent breeds can be strong-willed and vocal, and German Shepherd Huskies need consistent training, early socialization and clear boundaries to develop into good canine citizens.
Physical Appearance
In appearance, the German Shepherd Husky is typically considered to be a larger hybrid, generally standing around 2-25 inches at the shoulder, with a weight that ranges between 45 and 88lbs. They have a typically solid (though not overly heavy) structure, and their athletic build and moderate to high energy level allows them to excel in dog sport and endurance activities.
Since the coat coloration can be somewhat unpredictable in hybrids, a German Shepherd Husky can come in a variety of different colors; blue, red, white, cream, brown, grey, and golden have all been noted, though the most common coloration and patterning tends to be either black and tan or brown and black.
Like both Shepherd and Husky parents, their hybrid offspring are also double coated, possessing a soft, dense undercoat that traps warm air to insulate, and a harsher, longer overcoat that keeps them dry and protects them from severe weather conditions. The skull shape can vary in appearance between the Shepherd’s narrower headset and the Husky’s broader shape, but the ears are generally always upright, while the muzzle of a German Shepherd Husky is usually pointed, similar to both parent breeds. Their eyes may be brown, blue, or an even combination of both!
Personality and Temperament
Although this mix has the potential to be gentle and calm if they’re given lots of early socialization and training, they are still muscular, strong dog. They can be protective and loyal pets, and their intuitive intelligence means that they need a job to do in order to keep them from becoming bored. German Shepherd Huskies are usually very trainable, since they respond well to reward-based training practices, and learn verbal commands and whistles quickly and easily. Their innate herding instinct can sometimes be an problem, especially when these dogs are younger, as they are often tempted to mouth and ‘gather’ their humans into one spot – a behavior that they can be redirected out of with time and patience, however.
The fact that they’re at the top of the game when it comes to learning and logical thinking means that a German Shepherd Husky mix could have enormous potential for search and rescue, military operations and even stunt dog training! They bond closely with their family or trainer but stay reserved towards strangers (even to the point of becoming protective of their own ‘people’ and territory) making them an excellent choice for guard dog duty as well. Because both Huskies and German Shepherds tend to have high prey drive, it’s not recommended that these mixes live in homes where there are cats or much smaller dogs, as they may be more likely to chase or even seriously injure these other pets.
Grooming and Shedding
Most canine companions need some amount of grooming, and the German Shepherd Husky is no exception. Their double coat sheds moderately all year, with one or two sessions of heavier shedding, particularly in the spring (often called ‘blowing coat). A thorough brushing several times each week can help to keep the furry tumbleweeds from taking over your house, however, besides being essential for removing excess dead undercoat, allowing these mixed breeds to properly regulate their body temperature. Eye, ear, and toenail care is also important, and some owners may choose to trim their dog’s paw hair to prevent snow accumulation in the winter.
Common Health Issues
While mixed breeds in general tend to be healthier overall, since they’re not vulnerable to many of the health issues caused by inbreeding, a German Shepherd Husky mix may still potentially experience some of the health conditions commonly found in either of its purebred parents. Some of these conditions can include:
Gastrointestinal issues like inflammatory bowel disease
Epilepsy
Eye issues like juvenile cataracts, progressive retinal atrophy, and kerato-conjunctivitis (dry eye)
Bloat
Hip and elbow dysplasia
Splenic cancer
Allergic dermatitis
Perianal fistula
von Willebrand’s disease
Degenerative Myelitis
Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
In spite of these potential health issues, many German Shepherd Husky mixes can live up to 12 or 13 years of age.
Activity Needs
Although owning a German Shepherd Husky mix can be extremely rewarding, it’s essential to remember that these dogs originate from two very driven working breeds, so they absolutely need lots of physical and mental interaction. These dogs are moderate to high energy canines, with a drive to work and play for long periods of time – lovers of these hybrids should be prepared to provide them with at least an hour or two of activity every day. Owners who aren’t able to provide daily intense exercise for their dogs in the form of hiking, swimming, running, or dog sports like skijoring, herding, mushing or agility might find that their dogs become bored easily, quickly becoming frustrated or destructive.
Training
Although their high intellect allows a German Shepherd Husky to learn quickly, they’re also extremely independent and perceptive, and require confident, consistent training methods and firm boundaries. Like most dogs, they respond best to positive, reward-based training that takes their independent nature and problem solving skills into consideration. They can be highly motivated by treats, toys, and play to learn and perform many different types of skills.
Recommended Diet
Because these dogs are moderately large breeds, close attention should be paid to their growth and body condition from puppyhood, since improper nutrition (or excess weight gain) could cause them to develop bone and joint issues earlier as an adult. Choose a premium diet that’s complete and balanced in terms of nutrients and made with high quality, digestible ingredients –this will not only help your dog maintain a healthier digestive and immune system, but will be less expensive in the long run, potentially saving you money on vet bills in the future.
Excellent nutrition is the first step to excellent health! Keep in mind that many German Shepherd Husky mixes may seem picky, but in actuality, they simply know how much their body needs and will often regulate their own food intake depending on their activity. German Shepherd Husky Mixes (Gerberian Shepsky) are recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club and the Dog Registry of America Inc. | positive |
A disabled San Francisco man was left scratching his head after his bank put a hold on an online payment to his dog walker, thinking the man was sending money to a terrorist organization.
Bruce Francis, who has a form of multiple sclerosis, told a local Fox affiliate that he was trying to pay his dog walker who cares for his therapy dog using an online payment through Chase bank. On the memo line for the check, Mr. Francis typed his dog’s name, Dash.
But when the dog walker told Mr. Francis that the payment never came through, Mr. Francis discovered that the bank had put the payment on hold and alerted the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
“The dog walker comes to me and says, ‘I haven’t gotten your check,’” Mr. Francis told Fox. “I looked in my Chase account and there was a message saying, ‘Please explain what for Dash means.’”
Mr. Francis said he called OFAC, and received a call back informing him that the transaction was flagged because his dog’s name is similar to the word “Daesh,” a named used for the Islamic State terrorist group.
The bank stopped payment on the check, thinking Mr. Francis was sending money to a terrorist organization.
“I thought to myself, ‘Great, they’re stopping the world’s stupidest terrorist,’” Mr. Francis quipped, Fox reported.
In a statement to Fox, Chase said it is required to review transactions and report suspicious payments to the Treasury Department.
“If a name on the OFAC list appears on a payment, we are required to review it. This is an important part of ensuring that crime does not filter through the us banking system,” the statement said. “In this instance, the payment was flagged, reviewed and eventually released.”

NBA 2K is back for 2018, and of course there are a few improvements on the original. Wouter Van Vugt, 2K games head of international communications, has everything he thinks we need to know.
How much work has been put into improving the player visuals for 2K18?
As with every iteration of NBA 2K, we take realism very seriously. Not only do we have the possibility to do full body scans for the first time this year, meaning that players look like their real life counterpart even more, we’ve also worked with Nike to fully scan the new outfits, making NBA 2K18 the most realistic version of the series yet.
What kind of involvement does that mean for the players as far as scanning/etc is concerned?
Nowadays we have a mobile scanning and motion capture set-up, meaning we can go around the different NBA teams and scan their players relatively quickly. Our main mo-cap studio is in North California and throughout the year we’re scanning players who are in the area there.
Can you talk about what improvements have been made on the MyPlayer and MyCareer systems?
We’d need a few more pages to explain all the new features for MyPlayer and MyCareer, and we have some surprises up our sleeve. One of the bigger changes is what we call “The Road to 99”, which entails that you can now upgrade your player and earn VC in every game mode you play with your MyPlayer, including online modes such as Pro Am and MyPark.
How do ensure that the series remains accessible for newcomers?
Last year we’ve introduced 2KU, where newcomers can learn about the basics of basketball. This mode makes a welcome return in NBA 2K18. You’ll also find that in the menus, there are a lot more explanations around more in-depth basketball tactics and plays.
Why was it important to revamp the body type system?
It’s all about realism. Having realistic body types doesn’t just allow us to make players look more realistic, but react more realistically as well.
What changes can we expect from multiplayer?
Amongst other things, the “Road to 99” will change things up drastically, as players can now build their character up in every mode, including online modes.

This vegan pasta salad is so yummy! It is ridiculously easy to make, and packs a lot of flavor for a simple recipe without many ingredients. Many non-vegans at potlucks have raved about this fabulous side dish, only to find out it was made by me. It’s always fun to see the shock on their faces when they find out there’s no eggs, or dairy involved.
Other than boiling the pasta it only take a minute or so to whip this up so it is something that is easy to add to any meal. Or if you are anything like me it makes a great last minute midnight snack!
Also this is a great dish for left overs. It is delicious right away, but it is even better after chilling in the fridge over night!
What you will need:
4 cups Pasta
1 cup Peas
⅔ cup Vegan Mayonnaise
⅓ cup Nutritional Yeast
½ tsp Salt
Pepper to Taste
Daiya Mozzarella Style Shreds
To Make Vegan Pasta Salad
Boil a medium size pot of water and add pasta.
Cook until desired tenderness (5-7 minutes) and transfer to a strainer.
You can test the tenderness by removing one piece of pasta on a fork, running it under cold water and tasting. I prefer my pasta a little al dente, this means the pasta is cooked for a little less time, making it slightly firmer to the bite. This provides a nicer texture to the pasta salad.
Cool pasta under running water and place in a large mixing bowl. This will stop the pasta from continuing to cook after being removed from the water, and maintain your desired tenderness.
Prepare peas in a small saucepan and then add to the pasta.
Add in the salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, and mix together.
Finally add the vegan mayo and mix well. Give your vegan pasta salad a sprinkle of Daiya shreds and then serve and enjoy! | positive |

The recent networking event in Dubai attracted blockchain and metaverse enthusiasts from afar with the promise of an opportunity to mingle with like-minded individuals. The event proved to be a phenomenal success, which is a small surprise considering the venue. The creative minds behind META2032 brought an intense dose of innovation and ingenuity to the event as they turned the second level of the Dubai Mall into a mesmerizing, awe-inspiring sci-fi experience that words are not enough to describe. Billing its ecosystem as the next generation of the virtual world, META 2032 is merging blockchain Web 3.0 infrastructure, a DAO-powered decentralized community, and immersive metaverse experiences. Those are the primary features that most spectators paid attention to when the team announced its launch and other plans last week. However, there is one aspect that perhaps did not get the attention that it should have. Metaverse Mining META 2032 will offer a platform coin that will be integrated throughout the virtual world and its expanding ecosystem, which makes it a truly utility-driven asset. While users could acquire these coins through a variety of methods, what stands out the most is the possibility of acquisition through mining. Traditional cryptocurrency mining is riddled with challenges. For starters, it requires dedicated mining machines that are power-hungry, jampacked with raw computing horsepower, and well beyond the budget of many aspiring “digital gold” miners. Furthermore, the learning curve of putting all these pieces together is a hoop that proves insurmountable for an overwhelming majority of consumers. We live in an age of convenience where everything stands a finger tap away. It’s unrealistic to expect the average user to take interest in mining. At the same time, having a diverse group of participants powering the network of a project is crucial to its decentralization and sovereignty. The result of this mismatch is the harsh reality that we live in: most blockchain networks are more homogenous and concentrated than they ought to be. META 2032 is flipping that equation on its head by offering an effortless point of entry into mining for all users, from veterans of the industry to metaphorical “newborns”. The process is as simple as purchasing the hash rate for the Metaverse Matrix, a moniker that represents a similar concept as mining syndicates or mining groups. By stripping all technical complexities, META2032 is making mining more accessible than ever as all a user needs is to purchase a Metaverse Miner and passively enjoy the reward tokens it generates. A Metaverse Miner starts at $100 with 10% returns per month and can go as high as $10,000 with a mouth-watering 18% rate of monthly returns. This mechanism operates on a staking basis, as each miner comes with a mining cycle of 3 years. Next-Gen Blockchains True to its commitment to fair and friendly initiatives, META 2032 is leveraging Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Conscious Value Network (CVNT). Compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are notorious electricity guzzlers, the chains used by META 2032 are substantially friendlier for the environment. BSC, for instance, is reported to run on less than 1% of Bitcoin’s energy usage. Furthermore, CVNT is a Layer-2 solution that will allow META2032 to incorporate decentralization in every aspect of its operations, from the network itself to storage and beyond.
