NEW DELHI: Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten loved and respected each other but their relationship was never physical as they were never alone, says the daughter of India's last vicereine. Pamela Hicks nee Mountbatten was 17 when her father Lord Louis Mountbatten came to India as the last Viceroy.She saw a "profound relationship" developing between Nehru and her mother Edwina Ashley."She found in Panditji the companionship and equality of spirit and intellect that she craved," Pamela says.Pamela was keen to know more about the relationship.But after reading Nehru's inner thoughts and feelings for her mother in his letters, Pamela "came to realise how deeply he and my mother loved and respected each other".Pamela says she had been "curious as to whether or not their affair had been sexual in nature" but after having read the letters, she was utterly convinced it hadn't been."Quite apart from the fact that neither my mother nor Panditji had time to indulge in a physical affair, they were rarely alone. They were always surrounded by staff, police and other people," Pamela writes in "Daughter of Empire: Life as a Mountbatten".The book, first published in the UK in 2012, has been brought out in India as a paperback by Hachette.Lord Mountbatten's ADC Freddie Burnaby Atkins also told Pamela later that it would have been impossible for Nehru and Edwina to have been having an affair, such was the very public nature of their lives.Pamela also writes that while leaving India, Edwina wanted to give Nehru her emerald ring."But she knew he would not accept it. Instead, she handed it to his daughter, Indira, telling her that if he were ever to find himself in financial difficulties - he was well known for giving away all his money - she should sell it for him," the book says.At a farewell party for the Mountbattens, Nehru said while addressing Edwina directly, "Wherever you have gone, you have brought solace, you have brought hope and encouragement.Is it surprising, therefore, that the people of India should love you and look up to you as one of themselves and should grieve that you are going?" | positive |
One evening last week, under cover of the fading light, I climbed over a wall to get into the grounds and corrugated iron sheds of a small farm in the English countryside.
With a cameraman, I waited until dusk. We hoped the farm workers had clocked off by then, but we couldn’t be sure. If we were caught, we faced being prosecuted for trespassing.
It was a nerve-racking mission, but one worth taking to shine a light on the sickening conditions in which pigs are being kept in Britain.
Scroll down for video
Tracy Worcester, an animal welfare campaign, armed with her camera during her recent undercover mission
What I found was not just distressing, it was horrific. Through the darkness I could see the pigs crammed into small pens on bare slats (for draining the effluent) or on concrete. There was no soft material such as straw to lie on, which they should have by law.
Sows with suckling piglets were in crates so small they couldn’t turn around. They will stay like this for three or four weeks until their piglets are weaned. This is tantamount to torture.
Pigs that had died of disease or neglect were left lying on the ground – it is probably too expensive to clear them away – and, a stomach-churning sight, there was an open bin full of dead piglets.
All of the pigs, even the tiniest newborns, had their tails docked. This is a bad sign and, again, against the law. It is a practice only used when pigs are so stressed they start biting each other’s tails.
We pride ourselves on being a nation of animal-lovers and tell ourselves our rules on pig welfare are among the strictest in the world. But we need to face the truth about the pork we buy in shops and supermarkets.
The horror I filmed is by no means unusual. Far from it. It is typical of farms throughout the country, so much so that I am not identifying this particular farmer.
A dead pig is left to rot on the floor next to frightened animals in a tiny pen
He is not the enemy, but the victim of a system that treats animals – highly intelligent in the case of pigs – as mere commodities.
Much of the pressure to cut costs is driven from abroad. The fact is that the Great British Bacon Butty is often not British at all. Some 54 per cent of our pork is imported – mostly from pig factories in Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands – and made in conditions that would be illegal here.
Some meat might come from as far afield as Chile, where I filmed the local people’s successful battle to close the world’s biggest pig farm, housing an astonishing 2.5 million animals. These cheap imports from giant corporate animal factories undermine British farmers who, with higher welfare standards and smaller farms, cannot compete.
Pig factories taking advantage of cheap labour and lax welfare laws are pushing British farmers to the wall.
Cutting corners in animal welfare becomes the only option to avoid bankruptcy. In the past 15 years we have lost half of our sow population, with many of our small and medium-size farms being forced to close. Once gone, they are gone for ever.
Yet we can act. By using our power as consumers, we can choose pork that carries the RSPCA Assured label, is free range, outdoor bred or organic – and change the system. The power is in our purse.
Inquisitive pigs in dark, barren pens greet Tracy Worcester on her undercover mission
My eyes were opened to the plight of pigs in 2005 when I was invited to film undercover at a factory in Poland owned by Smithfield Foods, the largest meat-producing and processing company in the world.
In one shed, thousands of pigs were crammed in tight pens. Squealing in distress, some had gnawed on the steel bars until their gums were bleeding. The smell of faeces was indescribable. Following the flies to a large plastic bin in the yard, we found piles of dead pigs and piglets that hadn’t survived. Some were floating in an effluent storage lagoon.
What I saw was so appalling I vowed to put all my time and resources into informing the British public about this barbaric system and preventing similar factory farms springing up here. My organisation, Farms Not Factories, was born.
Having acted in the hit 1980s TV series C.A.T.S Eyes and being married to the Marquess of Worcester, there was a lot of media interest in me. For the past ten years I have used my title and connections to raise money to make films to show the horrors behind the closed doors of pig factories.
This marchioness does a lot of clambering over walls and razor- wire fences and creeping around stinking pig factories.
I have kept pigs and they are charming creatures. Social, affectionate, inquisitive and, contrary to the stereotype, very clean. In the wild they form stable family units led by a matriarch, much like the social structures of elephants. As with most mammals there is a strong bond between a mother and her young.
The pigs are left with desperately little room to move and with no straw
Studies have shown pigs to be quick learners, able to respond to commands much like dogs and perform complex tasks like chimpanzees.
Animal factories are not only bad for these sensitive, fascinating animals – they also pose a serious risk to human health. Keeping animals in unnatural and unhygienic conditions promotes disease, so factory pigs are routinely given doses of antibiotics.
Alarmed at increasing human resistance to antibiotics, doctors and hospitals are cutting back. But at the same time their use by factory farms is increasing. In the UK, 45 per cent of antibiotics sold are to treat animals. In the US more than 80 per cent of all antibiotics are used by agribusiness.
This is fuelling the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and making some human diseases more difficult to treat.
Two sausages from a factory-farmed pig costs the same as one and half sausages from a farm where they are raised humanely. Surely avoiding animal cruelty and saving antibiotics is worth half a sausage?
I grew up in the countryside near farmers who loved their animals. I know that if it were economically viable, farms like the one I visited last week would prefer to treat their animals well.
The Government could impose high tariffs on cheap imports to guarantee the British farmer a fair price, but it is reluctant to do so. That leaves it up to us to act. You and me. The consumers. By buying higher-welfare meat, we are ensuring the survival of our farmers.
The most recent campaign by Farms Not Factories – endorsed by celebrities such as Dominic West and Helen McCrory – touched people around the country. We asked them to take a selfie with their nose turned up, hashtag it #TurnYourNoseUp and post it online where they can watch a film about animal factories.
Each time we buy pork we vote for the system that produced it. Vote for pigs raised in this country on farms where they are allowed to roam and feel the sun on their backs, and where our farmers receive a fair price for good animal husbandry.
It will make you feel even better when you bite into a Great British Bacon Butty. | positive |

We started videoing the work and decided to post to my you tube channel (there are some Bonneville videos on there from years ago as well). These are in depth videos featuring Dr. Dick freely sharing his decades of knowledge and experience on these bikes. I have been hogging up the basement with my projects - I think I may be getting kicked out soon... The latest is a a restored 59 XLCH that the original owner ordered with the big tank, saddle bags and two into one. Guy who restored the bike was at a swap meet in NY, and saw this guy in his 70's walking around holding a sign "for sale 1959 HD XLCH, I bought the bike new". Guy buys the bike and does the restoration with plans on keeping it. Some shit goes down and he needs to sell it. Presto - I am the third owner. The working speedo showed under 800 miles since restoration, I rode the bike around for a while and noticed a bit of smoke. Expert motor builder did the top end during the restoration. You can see some his fine work throughout the videos. Thankfully Dr. Dick has corrected all the experts work and we will have a bike that will perform trouble free for years to come. How did we get to welding cases and these videos you may ask? I had a low speed/high damage accident on a 15 MPH hard left turn. Went off the road , hit a rather large rock, broke offending rock in half. Both the bike and I ended up in the middle of the road. 2" further to the right and I would've spared the cases. Replaced both fenders and front wheel. The gas tank survived with just a scratch. More to come, stay tuned....

(John Sibley/Pool via AP) Read Less Posted: Sep 21, 2022 / 06:54 AM CDT Updated: Sep 21, 2022 / 08:11 AM CDT SHARE COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II has tested positive for the coronavirus after attending the funeral of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, the royal palace said Wednesday. In a statement, the royal household said that Margrethe, 82, who has been on the throne for 50 years, canceled her official duties after the Tuesday night test. The palace said her oldest son, heir to the throne Crown Prince Frederik, and his wife, Crown Princess Mary, would would take the queen’s place hosting a dinner with Danish government officials and members of parliament. Margrethe previously tested positive for the virus in February. At the time, the palace said she had received three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. The queen was among the dignitaries who attended Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral Monday at Westminster Abbey in London. Margrethe’s half-century reign makes her Europe’s longest-serving monarch following the Sept. 8 death of Elizabeth, 96, who ruled for 70 years. Out of respect for the late British monarch, Margrethe had asked her court to adjust the Sept. 10-11 program for her own 50-year anniversary commemorations. Among the events she canceled at short notice was appearing on the Amalienborg Palace balcony to greet well-wishers and a ride in a horse-drawn carriage through Copenhagen. Margrethe was proclaimed queen on Jan. 15, 1972, a day after her father, King Frederik IX, died following a short illness. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of Queen Elizabeth II: https://apnews.com/hub/queen-elizabeth-ii Close Modal Suggest a Correction Your name(required) Your email(required) Report a typo or grammatical error(required) Submit Δ Suggest a Correction Copyright 2022 Nexstar Media Inc.

While Donald Trump and his close advisers have managed to best even the most extravagant predictions on their levels of incompetence, the grim fact of the matter is that some of Trump's picks to head various agencies do know what they're doing — and, generally speaking, they are going to leverage that competence for dire purposes. Scott Pruitt, Trump's head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is among the top contenders when it comes to using the power of the federal bureaucracy to undermine what his own agency is meant to do.
In his previous gig as Oklahoma's attorney general, Pruitt spent years suing Barack Obama's EPA in hopes of keeping the agency from doing its job. Now that he's on the inside, Pruitt has considerable power to slow down or halt the agency's core mission to reduce the level of pollution in our air and water.

But there's a way that environmental activists or state and local elected officials can fight back and force Pruitt to do the work the EPA head is supposed to do: Sue him. Federal law clearly says the EPA is supposed to protect the environment; if Pruitt doesn't want to do that, the courts have both a right and an obligation to force him to.
This week, the strategy of suing Pruitt into doing his job met with a significant victory. The U.S. Court of Appeals in the D.C. circuit has ruled that Pruitt cannot delay the implementation of a rule written during the Obama years that requires energy companies to limit methane emissions from equipment leaks.
This decision is important in itself, but it's much more significant for its larger implication, which is that the courts can put serious limits on Pruitt's efforts to undermine the EPA's mission from the inside.
“When the executive oversteps his bounds, it’s the job of the court to step in, and that’s what they’re doing," explained Joanne Spalding, the chief climate counsel for the Sierra Club. Pruitt, she said, "cannot ignore the requirements of administrative law, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the other statutes that EPA was formed to implement."
Spalding added, "This methane decision in particular is an indication that the courts are not going to sit idly by while Scott Pruitt tries to dismantle our environmental safeguards."
Despite his history of climate-change denialism, Pruitt has repeatedly insisted he is not opposed to the EPA's larger mission of protecting the air and water from pollution. During his confirmation hearing, he instead argued that he wished "to return the agency to that core mission of protecting the American people through common sense and lawful regulations."
Advertisement:
This "return" language is loaded, because its unsubtle implication is that the Obama-era emphasis on battling climate change was a drift away from the agency's original purpose, to clean up and prevent forms of pollution that have negative health effects on Americans. Once in office, however, Pruitt has demonstrated he's just as indifferent to stopping smog as to slowing climate change. For instance, he tried to delay ozone regulations that were focused on unhealthy smog rather than greenhouse gases. States and environmental groups sued the EPA, and likely realizing he couldn't win in court, Pruitt backed off.
There's also a sound legal argument that this supposed distinction between different kinds of hazardous emissions is a false one. In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled in Massachusetts v. EPA that since global warming is a threat to human health and safety, the EPA is obligated to regulate greenhouse gas emissions just as they are required to regulate pollutants that cause smog.
“This was the Bush EPA trying to evade its responsibility to regulate and reduce greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane and others," Spalding explained.
Because of that decision and the years of research conducted at EPA during the Obama years, Spalding added, Pruitt "is obligated to implement that finding. His personal beliefs are irrelevant."
Advertisement:
The twin limits that Massachusetts v. EPA puts on Pruitt are, first, that he cannot deny that greenhouse gases are under his purview, and second, that he cannot refuse to do the job the agency is set up to do. As his actions have made clear, however, Pruitt is willing to try all sorts of strategies to delay or dismantle rules that have been put in place by previous administrations, especially the Obama administration.
While the D.C. Circuit Court has smacked down Pruitt's effort to declare a delay in the methane rule, he has another trick up his sleeve. Pruitt has also pushed for a more formal process that would rewrite the original regulations, delaying their implementation by two years so that he can (in theory) review whether or not the regulation, as originally written, is even needed.
Pruitt's EPA is arguing that this proposed rule change is no big deal because it's only a two-year delay — though who knows what his "review" process might produce in two years. But even on its surface, such a delay is a terrible idea: This methane rule is meant to target emissions that are known to cause illness and exacerbate asthma in small children.

“Two years in the life of a toddler is a significant amount of time," Spalding observed.
Must of the resistance efforts to the Trump administration have understandably been focused on legislators, especially on asking citizens to call their members of Congress or confront them at public events. But the president's power is felt at least as much, and likely more, through the management of federal agencies -- and those agencies are also obliged to deal with the public. That's especially true when proposed rule changes, such as Pruitt's request for a delay on the methane regulations, are open for public comment.
"That process is a way for people to engage and make their voices heard, and make it clear that what Pruitt is doing is not only contrary to the law, but also very unpopular," Spalding said. "If the hearing is anywhere near where they live, it’s really great for them to go to the hearings."
Advertisement:
She noted, too, that these public comments are often reviewed by courts when determining if a rules change is illegal.
Make no mistake: Pruitt is powerful and will do a lot of damage as head of the EPA. If nothing else, he can be expected to make no positive progress when it comes to fighting pollution and climate change, and will likely get away with undoing some of what was done under Obama. But the situation isn't hopeless. Environmental lawyers and ordinary citizens can fight back, both in the courts and through the bureaucracy's official channels. If Pruitt's toxic anti-environmental agenda can't be stopped completely, it can be stymied. | positive |

On first inspection, there’s pretty much no food that could be less amenable to vegan interpretation than jerky. Right?
Wrong—at least if you’re willing to have a somewhat roomy interpretation of what jerky is. These portobello mushroom slices, which are cooked at low oven temperatures until they dry out slightly and intensify in flavor, are a very good, very creative spin on the idea of jerky.

They’re great for snacking, but the way I really like to use them is stuffed into wraps, layered on sandwiches, or chopped and sprinkled onto salads. They add flavor and umami, and they’re an easy item to keep stored in the fridge for when you want to give dishes a bit of kick.

Word to the wise: the mushroom slices are good and salty. I offer 2 to 3 tablespoons of tamari here; I love salty flavor, so I usually use 3 tablespoons, but if you’d like a milder mushroom, try two instead.

Once you make the slices, you can store them in a mason jar (or another airtight container) in the fridge, waiting to break them out as needed. An added bonus? The mushrooms will also work as a handy vegan substitute for bacon (so you may want to throw a bunch in your next tofu scramble).
Vegan Mushroom “Jerky” (Slow-Roasted Mushroom Strips)
Makes 4 cups
2 to 3 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground chili powder
4 large or medium portobello mushroom caps, sliced into strips about ¼-inch thick
Whisk together the tamari, vinegar, syrup, olive oil, paprika, and chili. Transfer to a rectangular, airtight container and add the mushroom slices. Marinate them for 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat your oven to 250° F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange the mushroom slices on the sheets. Bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until the pieces have shrunken, browned slightly, and dried out. They should have a chewy texture. Flip slices at the 1 hour mark. Allow the slices to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Stored in the fridge, the jerky will keep for up to 1 week.

The US National Sheriffs' Association wants Google to block its crowd-sourced traffic app Waze from being able to report the position of police officers, saying the information is putting officer's lives at risk.
"The police community needs to coordinate an effort to have the owner, Google, act like the responsible corporate citizen they have always been and remove this feature from the application even before any litigation or statutory action," AP reports Sheriff Mike Brown, the chairman of the NSA's technology committee, told the association's winter conference in Washington.
Waze, founded in 2008 and purchased 18 months ago by Google for $1.1bn, has about 50 million users who anonymously share their locations to help gauge road traffic flows. The app also allows police reports and road closures to be added to maps and shared with other users.
Brown called the app a "police stalker," and said being able to identify where officers were located could put them at personal risk. Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, said his members had concerns as well.
"I can think of 100 ways that it could present an officer-safety issue," Pasco said. "There's no control over who uses it. So, if you're a criminal and you want to rob a bank, hypothetically, you use your Waze."
Brown said he had been alerted to the dangers of Waze by Sergio Kopelev, a reserve deputy sheriff in Southern California, and invited Kopelev to brief the conference on the potentially dangerous code.
Kopelev said he first heard of the app in November, when he noticed his wife using it. He said that it was only a matter of time before officers are attacked because of the app, and said that after the murder of two NYPD officers in November the issue had become a "personal jihad" for him.
Both Brown and Kopolev pointed out that in the New York case the killer, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, had posted a screenshot from Waze on his Instagram account. Given that Brinsley threw away his phone two miles from the scene of the crime, however, it would be a stretch to pin his shootings on Waze, but the sheriffs are calling for Google to enable stealth mode for police sightings.
Google is already having a fair amount of trouble with law enforcement after both it and Apple began offering full-device encryption to mobile users. Now police have another reason to moan – although if officers are out and about in public spaces, Waze would appear to be doing nothing wrong.
"We think very deeply about safety and security and work in partnership with the NYPD and other Police and Departments of Transportation all over the world, sharing information on road incidents and closures to help municipalities better understand what's happening in their cities in real time," Julie Mossler, head of global communications at Waze, told El Reg.
"These relationships keep citizens safe, promote faster emergency response and help alleviate traffic congestion. Police partners support Waze and its features, including reports of police presence, because most users tend to drive more carefully when they believe law enforcement is nearby." ® | positive |
Millions of Verizon customers have had their records exposed, ZDNet reported earlier today. Verizon confirmed that 6 million records were compromised by Nice Systems, a Verizon partner that facilitates customer service calls. The records, which held logs from residential customers who had called Verizon customer service in the past six months, were accessed via an unprotected Amazon S3 storage server controlled by an employee of Nice Systems.
CNN reports that the cause was a misconfigured security setting on the server. As a result, anyone who knew the web address could download the files. But Verizon says no other external party had access to the data, telling CNN that no loss or theft of customer information occurred.
Each record included the customer’s name, mobile number, and account PIN, along with their home address, email address, and their Verizon account balance. While some records were partially redacted, most were not. Anyone with access to the records could have theoretically impersonated a subscriber and been granted access to their account.
Verizon and Nice Systems have said they are investigating the breach. Nice also commented that the data was “part of a demo system,” but refused to elaborate. Chris Vickery, a researcher with cybersecurity firm UpGuard, first noticed the breach on June 13th and privately informed Verizon. The data was finally secured on June 22nd, nine days later.
This is certainly not the first time a mobile carrier has suffered a data breach. In 2015, a breach at data broker Experian resulted in the exposure of similar information for 15 million T-Mobile customers. In 2016, hackers stole data from Verizon’s enterprise unit, which provides IT services to companies, and put it up for sale online. | positive |

A new genetic analysis led by researchers at Harvard University has found a common ancestor shared by some Amazonians and the indigenous peoples of Australia and New Guinea, suggesting that the first Americans did not arrive in a single wave as believed.
According to Smithsonian.com, the prevailing theory is that a lone group of humans travelled over a land bridge connecting Eurasia and modern-day Alaska some 15,000 years ago. This new research, however, suggests that it is unlikely that all Native Americans descended from just one group, and that two different groups might have migrated from one continent to the other.
“Our results suggest this working model that we had is not correct,” study co-author and Harvard geneticist David Reich explained to the website. The findings, which were published in the latest edition of the journal Nature, suggest that “there’s another early population that founded modern Native American populations” – a group originating from Australasia, he added.
Findings cast doubt on existing single-migration theories
The origins of the original Americans have long been a topic of debate, Smithsonian.com noted. Previous research has linked ancient humans to ancestral populations from Eurasia, and even Reich’s team had previously found evidence supporting the single-migration theory. In their new study, however, the genetic evidence appears to tell a different story.
Reich and colleague Pontus Skoglund found that the Suruí and Karitiana peoples of the Amazon were more closely related to the indigenous people of Australia, New Guinea and the Andaman Islanders than they were to Eurasians. Along with a team of Brazilian scientists, they analyzed the genomes of 30 Native American groups in Central and South America, using four different techniques to compare them to those of nearly 200 other global populations.
They found that three Amazonian groups (the Suruí, the Karitiana and the Xavante) were each more closely related with Australasians than any group in Siberia. Since these groups have as much in common with Australians as they do with New Guineans, the study authors believe that each of them share a common ancestry that dates back tens of thousands of years ago.
“We spent a lot of time being sceptical and incredulous about the finding and trying to make it go away, but it just got stronger,” Reich told Nature. He, Skoglund, and their colleagues believe that these ancestors had also crossed the Bering land bridge, but were ultimately replaced by first Americans over most of North and South America. “We think this is an ancestry that… crossed Beringia at some point, but has been overwritten by later events,” he added.

While there’s still two races to go in this year’s season, the talk of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship paddock has largely already shifted to 2018, in what’s shaping up to be some of the biggest off-season changes in recent years.
From the arrival of Team Penske and Acura, to a rejuvenated Mazda effort with Joest Racing and a number of LMP1 factory drivers on the market, the so-called “silly season” is already in full swing, with a number of key moves set to be made in the coming weeks.
Musical Chairs in Prototype
The first domino to fall came last month when Penske confirmed Juan Pablo Montoya and reigning Prototype champion Dane Cameron to its first Acura ARX-05 DPi, leaving a full-time seat to fill in the No. 31 Action Express Racing Cadillac DPi-V.R.
Cameron, however, won’t be the only change within the Action Express squad, with Christian Fittipaldi reportedly set to move to an endurance-only role and Filipe Albuquerque, its current Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup driver, poised to take over full-time driving duties of the No. 5 car alongside Joao Barbosa.
Ex-Formula One driver Felipe Nasr, meanwhile, is expected to be confirmed as Cameron’s replacement in the No. 31 entry with Eric Curran.
One of the two remaining season-long seats to be filled at Penske, meanwhile, is set to throw off another set of dominos, with Ricky Taylor poised to make the move from his family’s Cadillac operation to the new Acura effort.
Taylor will likely be joined by Helio Castroneves, whose tug-of-war with IndyCar appears to have now gone in favor of a full-season IMSA program, with the Brazilian having tested the Acura DPi earlier this week at Sebring.
Ricky Taylor’s pending departure from the champions-elect Wayne Taylor Racing squad leaves another seat to be filled, with names such as Brendon Hartley having been mentioned, although no firm candidate appearing to be in place.
Hartley, the current FIA World Endurance Championship leader, is understood to be also pursing options in both IndyCar and Formula E, with a deal with Chip Ganassi Racing the likely outcome.
Alex Lynn, who teamed with Ricky and Jordan Taylor for victory at Sebring, meanwhile, is not an option for a full-time replacement due to the Englishman’s new Formula E gig with DS Virgin Racing, with at least two rounds, including Sebring, set to clash with the WeatherTech Championship.
Mazda is the other big question in the Prototype class, with Joest’s involvement likely to bring in at least one new face to the driver lineup.
The team tested ex-Audi LMP1 driver Rene Rast earlier this week at Hockenheim, although the German is unlikely to commit to a full season campaign due to his DTM commitments, where he currently sits third in the title race.
Both Tristan Nunez and Jonathan Bomarito, who also were part of the shakedown, are expected to continue, although the status of Joel Miller and Tom Long remains up in the air.
As of the publishing of this article, only Tequila Patron ESM and the newly announced CORE autosport Oreca 07 Gibson entry have fully confirmed lineups, with both teams remaining with its 2017 drivers.
And with a possibility of more than 15 prototypes on the grid next year, that leaves a lot still to-be-decided.
Changes Likely in GTLM
While BMW, Corvette, Ford and Porsche are all set to return, there will likely be some shakeups in at least two of the driver lineups.
Porsche, which faces a surplus of factory drivers amid the end of its LMP1 program, is likely to see the biggest change, with both Gianmaria Bruni and Laurens Vanthoor expected to move to its WEC GTE-Pro effort.
That is likely to open the door for LMP1 refugees Nick Tandy and Earl Bamber to return Stateside for a full-season campaign. Both will rejoin the CORE autosport-run team for next month’s Motul Petit Le Mans, as a potential hint towards 2018.
BMW will also likely have a revised driver lineup with its new M8 GTE cars, with Martin Tomczyk rumored to move to the new MTEK-run WEC effort.
It would leave a seat open for former GTLM champion Kuno Wittmer, who has been BMW’s endurance driver for the last two years and chomping on the bit for a full-time drive with the German manufacturer.
While all Ford drivers’ contracts, both in IMSA and WEC, are up at the end of the year, no major changes are expected within the lineups, with the same to likely be said at Corvette Racing.
WeatherTech to Scuderia Corsa?
The GT Daytona class could see as many changes as in Prototype, although most deals are still in a very fluid state.
What appears to have already been firmed up, however, is WeatherTech Racing’s move to Scuderia Corsa for 2018, which would effectively take the seats of current championship leaders Christina Nielsen and Alessandro Balzan.
It’s believed Cooper MacNeil, and likely Gunnar Jeannette, will pilot the team’s Ferrari 488 GT3, in what will remain as a single-car operation for the California-based squad.
That essentially puts the defending GTD champions, who are on the brink of locking up back-to-back titles, on the market, in what could trigger a whole new set of dominos. | positive |
Bad Pizza and Naked Writing – The Drew Duality Skip to content The Drew Duality Adventures of a Dom/sub switch who is steadily growing his kinky side through chastity, discipline, and control with his husband and his owned boy/slave. Menu Bad Pizza and Naked Writing By dualdrew on November 9, 2016 November 11, 2016 View All Posts I promise not more than one paragraph about the election. Yes, I am sad. Yes, I am a scared. Yes, I am worried about the legal state of my marriage BUT there is not a single thing I can do about it today aside from rebuild my resilience (which I am choosing to do through bacon, animal crackers, french fries and a snickers) and then prepare to fight harder to move farther (and then do cardio). But, as part of this new day, I decided a new country should inspire me to do new things that would typically terrify me, so I am writing this outside on my patio naked as the day I as born (well, aside from shoes, socks and titanium cage). It’s freeing and a tad chilly, but I am out of my element and THAT makes me proud of me. Anyway, last night before the election results, Axel and I went to one of our favorite pizza places to have a beer or two and eat. The food was terrible. I didn’t know you could fuck up pizza but this place did which was okay because, somehow in our weird minds, we merged a subject about inedible toppings to my sudden need to be topped myself (I had told him about the fireman post). He wasn’t surprised by this because we have always talked about me having a submissive and a dominant figure in my life in addition to him, but he said he had just realized that when I was in a Dom mode, or with Thump, that he never worried because he knew I was in control but that he wasn’t that comfortable with me with a dom because I would not have control of the situation and if a problem were to occur, well, you know. I explained to him that I’d never allow myself to be vulnerable with someone I didn’t trust implicitly and that he of all people should know that and then reminded him the we each wear a somewhat electronic leash anywhere we go because we share an iCloud account and can always see where the other is. He relaxed and we laughed about the fact that he thinks I need a Dad in addition to him because of the absurdity of how it sounds compared to the realness of how it makes him hard to even think about it. In addition, he is finding his Daddy side roaring inside of him and has discovered a nice young man in his early 20’s who he has taken a liking too. It’s cute watching, so cross your fingers. Finally, the meat of the conversation was our discussion of how an open marriage has changed us for the best. He used Thump as a for instance saying that I got much better at sex after my times with him and he is really hoping that big bad top I meet will help me be better when it’s time to fully bottom for him – you know, on his birthday. It was pretty much an unreal conversation that thrilled me to no end to be able to have. Share this: Share Twitter Tumblr Facebook Reddit Email Like this: Like Loading...

How to spray paint wicker baskets - Paint Sprayed Skip to content Menu Home Knowledge Base Product Reviews How to spray paint wicker baskets June 26, 2022 by Matthew Edward This guide is for those amateurs who want to achieve the best results after completing their job. Then this step-by-step guide is completely tested by me and my professional painter fellas. Newbies should not miss any step explained in this guide and must follow each step in order to attain satisfactory results. Spray paint may not be the first material that you consider painting your wicker basket with but it is actually an excellent option for creating a professional finish. This blog covers the benefits of using spray paint rather than paint brushes and how, with the right equipment, it is extremely easy to use. Contents 1 Clean the wicker baskets 2 Prepare the area before painting 3 Apply Base coat 4 Start spraying wicker baskets 5 FAQ’s 5.1 What kind of paint do you use on a wicker basket? 5.2 Can you paint white wicker to look natural? 5.3 How do you make a wicker look modern? 5.4 How do you paint already painted wicker? 6 Summary of How to spray paint wicker baskets Clean the wicker baskets Clean the wicker basket by brushing it with a soft brush and wiping the dirt off with a damp rag. Do not spray any chemicals or water on the baskets. After cleaning wash, the wicker baskets with soap and water. Prepare the area before painting To pro-tip learning how to spray paint properly, it’s always a good idea to set up a safe and well-ventilated work area. In my case, because it’s still very cold outside I set my canned aerosols up in our garage. It might be your basement or even depending on the weather if you’re working outdoors you’ll want to make sure there’s plenty of barrier between your cans and the ground beneath them to prevent rust from forming. If you don’t have something already then feel free to use household drop cloths or large sheets of cardboard as a crash pad for those cans you plan on painting with. Apply Base coat Spray the base coat on wicker baskets to protect them from the spray paint. If you do not protect the wicker baskets, the paint will get into the holes and crack the baskets. Start spraying wicker baskets Keep the spray paint at least 12 inches away from the basket and do not spray in one spot for too long. Allowing the paint to dry before you touch it is also very important, as you could get a skin burn if you do not. After this, give the basket time to dry. It might be a good idea to use a hair dryer because the paint is likely pretty thick at this point. After the baskets are dry, you can use sandpaper to distress the paint further. FAQ’s What kind of paint do you use on a wicker basket? There are two types of paint that can be used on wicker baskets: Oil-based paint and latex paint. Latex paint dry’s faster than oil-based paint and is easier to clean up. So, if you are going to repaint the basket often or you have kids or pets in the house, then latex paint is a good option. Latex paint tends to peel if the surface is often scratched. So, if you are going to scratch the basket often you should use oil-based paint. Can you paint white wicker to look natural? Staining white wicker is a tricky procedure as it requires not only the right material and color, but also the right process. So, before you start staining the wicker, you have to first understand the nature of the material you are dealing with. White outdoor furniture is usually painted over with a layer of white paint. This paint can be anything from the common latex paint to an alkyd based paint. The cover of the wicker is generally very thin and hence the paint job can crack over time and need a touch up. If you are planning on doing the touch up, here are a few tips. How do you make a wicker look modern? You can make wicker look modern by first removing the rust from it. This can be done by using sandpaper. You can make the wicker look new by using a double coat of paint. This will make the wicker look sleek and shiny. Hang up some nice flowers in it, and then the wicker will look even more stylish. How do you paint already painted wicker? Painting over some types of existing furniture finish will result in the finish bubbling and peeling off. The reason for this is that paint cannot bond to the finish. Hence, it is not a good idea to paint over furniture that has been varnished. If you have wicker furniture that has been treated with some other type of finish, it might be possible to paint it. However, it’s always best to check with the manufacturer before painting their products. For example, if you have wicker furniture that has been treated with linseed oil, which is a common treatment for wicker furniture, it’s not a good idea to paint it with an oil-based paint. It’s always best to use an acrylic paint on this type of furniture. The same is true with wood furniture that has been treated with linseed or tung oil. Acrylic paints do not have the same drying time as oil-based paints, and they also have a more durable finish. Summary of How to spray paint wicker baskets This method which I have explained to you is wholly based on the tested and tried methods. And if you have any queries regarding this guide or any step which is confusing then let me know in the comments section. I hope that you might find the complete guide useful so that you can get the best results after spraying painting wicker baskets of your favorite color. If you are not satisfied with the results or have any other queries, you can simply contact us anytime.

By Bill Moyers / Moyers and Company
Watching the recent craziness in the Senate, as Mitch McConnell and the GOP’s zealots drove their clown car into a brick wall and yet another effort to take away health care coverage from millions crashed and burned, I thought back to a different turn of events.
It was 52 years ago Sunday — July 30, 1965. Two American presidents celebrated the birth of Medicare, the most significant advance toward national health insurance in America’s history.
I was a White House assistant at the time, working for President Lyndon B. Johnson as he coaxed, cajoled, badgered, buttonholed and maneuvered Congress into enacting Medicare for the aging and Medicaid to help low-income people. For all the public displays over the years of his outsized personae and powers of persuasion, this time he had kept a low profile, working behind the scenes as his legislative team and career health care experts practically lived on Capitol Hill, negotiating with members of Congress and their staffs.
From the White House, LBJ worked the phones; invited senators and representatives singly and collectively in for coffee, drinks or dinner; listened attentively in private to opponents and proponents from interests as varied as business, labor, medicine and religion; and kept in his head a running tally of the fluctuating vote count.
As it had been for decades, it was a tough fight down to the wire. A look back is instructive, not only to show how long it can take to move a legislative dream to reality but also to illustrate how a president with a grasp of history and knowledge of how government works is crucial to making success possible.
In 1935, when President Franklin Roosevelt first tried and failed to get health insurance included as part of Social Security, I was 1 year old and my family was broke. The Great Depression had ended my father’s tenant farming. He took a job for a dollar a day as a laborer on the construction of a highway in southeast Oklahoma.
Earlier, my mother had lost twin girls — one at birth, the other some months later — because the nearest doctor was too far away to arrive in time to help. My parents moved into town. To pay the doctor who delivered me, my father lugged large stones by hand to the site the physician had bought to build his first office. It’s still there.
At about this time in Washington, Republicans, conservative Democrats and the American Medical Association (AMA) were winning their fight to sink President Roosevelt’s proposal for health insurance. Congress was intimidated, and in August 1935 FDR gave up, signing the Social Security Act without health coverage.
Eight years later, in the midst of World War II, he once again called for social insurance “that will extend from the cradle to the grave.” And again, his proposal went nowhere.
On FDR’s death, Harry Truman became president. In his 1948 Message to Congress on the State of the Union, he said:
This great nation cannot afford to allow its citizens to suffer needlessly from the lack of proper medical care. Our ultimate aim must be a comprehensive insurance system to protect all our people equally against insecurity and ill health.
Congress still refused to budge. Running for election in his own right that year, and way behind in the polls, Truman won an upset victory after demanding that health care insurance and civil rights be included in the Democratic Party platform. That same year, congressman Lyndon Johnson of Texas, whose home district was Democratic and liberal in a state turning increasingly Republican and conservative, was running for election to the US Senate. He opposed Truman’s health care plan as socialistic and was elected.
In 1952, Republicans won control of Congress for the first time since 1932 and hardened their stand against a national health care program. War hero Dwight Eisenhower won the presidency for the Republicans. He, too, opposed the plan that had been shelved by Congress before Truman left office.
Ike only was willing to support subsidizing private insurers to cover certain low-income groups and no more. With the continuing opposition of the nation’s doctors — amplified through their political lobby, the AMA, as well as the US Chamber of Commerce — the notion of Medicare appeared finished once and for all.
Yet when he yielded the presidency to Eisenhower, Truman lamented his failure but was prophetic when he said: “[It] has only delayed and cannot stop the adoption of an indispensable health insurance plan.”
He was right. The battle heated up. In 1957, the AFL-CIO brought its 14 million members to the fight. The American Hospital Association, which bore the brunt of the problems older people encountered as they aged, signed on, too.
Public opinion was swinging in favor of national health insurance. When John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson were nominated as the Democratic ticket in 1960, they made health care for Social Security retirees a major plank in the platform and endorsed a bill in the Senate that in time would become Medicare.
Though he was Kennedy’s running mate, Johnson was still the powerful Senate majority leader, that body’s top Democrat, and responsible for steering its legislative agenda. After a long day on the campaign road, or in the Senate, we would get to his home late and he would stay up until after midnight, making phone calls to one or another member of Congress urging passage of the Medicare bill.
Despite his efforts, it failed by four votes. LBJ had studied the polls and knew public opinion was building for national health insurance; he feared this defeat might cost Democrats the election. It didn’t, although the margin of victory was incredibly slim. As soon as they were inaugurated, now President Kennedy and Vice President Johnson championed yet another effort known as the Medical Care for the Aged bill. Still adamantly opposed by the Republicans and the AMA, it also failed — this time by two votes.
In early 1963, the bill was reintroduced in Congress, only to fail again. Some observers again pronounced it once and forever toast. But in November of that year, an assassin killed John Kennedy, tragically catapulting Lyndon Johnson into the White House. Just days later, in a dramatic speech to Congress and the nation, he slowly and deliberately drawled: “Let us continue!” With that challenge, LBJ set out to enact Kennedy’s legislative agenda — with a good chance, he thought, of passing the Medicare bill.
As before, the opposition fought back with everything they had, which now included the AMA’s new pitchman, Ronald Reagan. Not yet a candidate for public office, the actor was hired to warn the country against letting government get between doctors and their patients. He made a popular recording played at thousands of small meetings around the country in which attendees heard his pitch warning of “socialized medicine” and predicting “behind [Medicare] will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country.” Just think if he’d had Twitter.
Our strategy that year came to naught, producing in the early fall a stalemate. The Senate actually did pass a national health care bill for the elderly (despite the opposition of the Republican nominee for president, Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who interrupted his campaign and returned to Washington to vote no). But the powerful and conservative Democratic chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Wilbur Mills, would not agree to a medical care provision of any kind. A conference meeting to work out differences between the House and Senate ended in deadlock.
Johnson gritted his teeth and returned to the campaign, winning a four-year term in his own right.
Elections matter — surely no one doubts that fact anymore — and the ’64 election mattered dramatically. Not only did it deliver LBJ a landslide victory, but it brought Democrats their biggest majorities in the House and Senate since FDR. “If we can’t get Medicare through now,” the president told me after the election, “we don’t deserve what we just won.”
So as soon as he and Vice President Hubert Humphrey were inaugurated in January 1965, we started over. You can get a glimpse of the intensity of LBJ’s drive from a conversation I had with him around that time. With others, I had urged that the new bill include a provision for a retroactive increase in Social Security payments as an economic stimulus. He called me to say okay, but wanted me to understand it wasn’t because of the economy:
…My inclination would be … that it ought to retroactive as far back as you can get… because none [of the elderly] ever get enough. They are entitled to it. That’s an obligation of ours. It’s just like your mother writing you and saying she wants $20, and I’d always sent mine a $100 when she did. I never did it because I thought it was going to be good for the economy of Austin. I always did it because I thought she was entitled to it. And I think that’s a much better reason and a much better cause and I think it can be defended on a hell of a better basis…. We do know that it affects the economy… it helps us in that respect. But that’s not the basis to go to the Hill, or the justification. We’ve just got to say that, by God, you can’t treat grandma this way. She’s entitled and we promised it to her.
He understood the legislative process like no one I ever met. “Nothing given, nothing gotten — that’s the rule!” he told us in an Oval Office meeting on how to break yet another Capitol Hill deadlock. He sent his senior legislative aide to play sweet with a still-recalcitrant Wilbur Mills and warned, “I’ll tell you this, Wilbur Mills will take your pants off unless you’ve got something that he’s got to trade for.” When Mills still wouldn’t budge, the president let loose a string of invectives that would have made even Anthony Scaramucci blush. The next day he was courting Mills again, as if nothing had happened.
As the cherry blossoms bloomed that spring of ‘65, the president thought Congress was moving too slowly. The civil rights movement was under siege in the South, violence was continuing against blacks and we were working around the clock to pass legislation to end discrimination. Even so, he wouldn’t let us slow down on Medicare — or other pending priorities. When he thought we were lagging, he took us to the woodshed, as you can see in a telephone conversation with Vice President Humphrey and me:
They [the House and Senate] are bogged down. The House had nothing this week — all goddamn week. You and Moyers and Larry O’Brien [his chief congressional expert] have got to get something for them. And the Senate had nothing… So we just wasted three weeks… Now we are here in the first week in March [1965], and we have just got to get these things passed… You’ve got to look each week and say, what is the Senate doing in committee this week and when will they be through, what is the House doing… You’ve got to be running into these guys [members of Congress] in the halls, and going over and having a drink with them in the evenings… I’ll put every Cabinet officer behind you, I’ll put every banker behind you, I’ll put every organization that I can deliver behind you… I’ll put the labor unions behind you.
A few days later, breakthrough. LBJ’s now-gentler courting of Wilbur Mills paid off, and the House Ways and Means chairman pieced together a bill from several options championed by different interests. He got it past the committee’s conservative coalition with a straight party vote, 17-8.
Remembering our defeat the previous fall, our team fretted over how to make the final sale to the full House and Senate. The president had some more advice for us. As he told Larry O’Brien, the White House chief legislative honcho: Give bragging rights to anyone who voted on the final version of both Medicare — and the big education bill also in the pipeline:
[Tell them] that every guy that votes for Medicare and education, his grandchildren will say my grandpa was in the Congress that enacted these two… So it makes ‘em proud. And they can go back home and say I was one of the 54 [who voted yes], or my daddy was one of the 54… so all his children and grandchildren are bragging about being one of the 54.
Medicare passed the House by a vote of 313-115. But in the Senate, liberal Democrats added $800 million to its cost, outraging conservatives (and vexing LBJ, who knew such overreach would give opponents more fuel to attack).
Back the bill went to a conference committee between the House and Senate. Then to the House floor again, where it survived more than 500 amendments before passing on July 27 by majority vote, 307-116. One day later the Senate passed it, 70-24. All that was needed now was the president’s signature and Medicare and Medicaid would become the nation’s first public health insurance programs.
And that’s how it came to pass that 52 years ago, on the morning of July 30, 1965. President Johnson loaded up two planeloads of dignitaries and headed toward Independence, Missouri, hometown of former President Harry Truman. He intended to sign the bill at the side of the man whose original proposal LBJ had dismissed as socialism. Now he revered Truman as “the real daddy of Medicare.” Here’s the actual moment Medicare became the law of the land:
After signing the bill, Lyndon Johnson turned to Harry Truman and signed him up as Medicare’s first beneficiary. It was high drama, touched with history, politics, sentimentality, showmanship and compromise.
The legislation was far from perfect. LBJ once told me never to watch hogs slaughtered before breakfast and never ever show young children how legislation gets enacted.
Too much secrecy surrounded the bill’s passage. Even as the president signed it into law, we weren’t sure of all that was in there. As some principled conservatives warned, there were too few cost controls. The experts feared copays and deductibles would become a burden.
“Those can be fixed,” LBJ said, “once it sinks in that Medicare is here to stay.”
Meanwhile, as historian Robert Dallek has written, although Medicare and Medicaid did not solve the problem of care at reasonable cost for all Americans, “the benefits to the elderly and the indigent… are indisputable.”
Perhaps the biggest mistake was one of imagination — our failure to anticipate the advent of new and expensive technology to treat the sick or the demand on the system that would rise from a burgeoning population. That spring President Johnson had warned, “We will face a new challenge and that will be what to do within our economy to adjust ourselves to a life span and a work span for the average man or woman of 100 years.”
That, and the cost, we reckon with today.
Now that the eight-year effort of conservatives to repeal the Affordable Care Act (itself a flawed but significant extension of the effort to help more people get decent coverage) is stalled, the next steps are crucial. Going back to the status quo — a system driven by the profit motive and rationed health care based on income — is unthinkable. At the website Common Dreams, Dr. Carol Paris, president of Physicians for a National Health Program, writes:
“Clearly, the system is broken. Like a cracked pipe, money gushes into our health care system but steadily leaks out. Money is siphoned into the advertising budgets of insurance companies and the army of corporate bureaucrats working to deny claims. Even more dollars are soaked up by the pockets of insurance CEOs who have collectively earned $9.8 billion since the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010. Nearly a third of our health care dollars go to something other than health care.”
Yes, our health system is broken, but broken systems can be fixed — not easily, but they can be fixed.
Watching recent events, I thought of the long and arduous process I’ve just related, the many steps that brought Medicare into being, and how I was afforded a modest role in the supporting cast.
I came away from the experience with three lessons. First, whether health care is a right may be debatable, but it assuredly fulfills a basic human need — and without it, human beings without means will live and die suffering unduly.
Second, building that more perfect union which the founders of this republic defined as the mission of government has always been slow, hard, acrimonious, frustrating, tiring and elusive, because we as individuals are ourselves imperfect and because there are always among us those predators who regard democracy as an obstacle to their avarice.
Against such realities, the only way for democracy to succeed is for enough people to take up the cause where and when they can, as so many did for Medicare and are doing now for our eroding social covenant. That’s the third lesson I learned: It is harder to build something than to burn it down, but build we must.
Note: I am greatly indebted to Larry DeWitt, the historian of the US Social Security Administration, whose outstanding research and organizing talents have helped so many of us recollect with greater accuracy and context such experiences as I have recounted here. The author of numerous articles and essays — including “The Medicare Program as a Capstone to the Great Society — Recent Revelations in the LBJ White House Tapes,” on which I have often relied — Mr. DeWitt also created http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history, one of the largest history-related web sites in the federal government. It’s a national treasure. Check it out. | positive |
After nearly a month of public scrutiny over her million dollar lawsuit, the Texas City woman who was suing her neighbors for injuries she says she sustained after her four pit bulls broke through a shared fence and killed her neighbor's beagle has dropped her lawsuit.
Emerald White, a Texas City woman with four pit bulls, filed the lawsuit against her neighbor, Steve Baker, in mid-November, stating that she was "seriously injured" while trying to retrieve her four pit bulls, which had broken through a shared fence and were attacking Baker's dog on his property.
White said she suffered "multiple serious bite and scratch-type injuries," during the incident due to Baker "failing to properly train the animal in question to prevent the vicious behavior of the animal," and "failing to securely confine and restrict" Bailey, a 10-year-old Beagle. Bailey was killed in the attack. | positive |
Most secessionist movements want independence. But a small group in Sardinia, the beautiful island off Italy’s coast has another idea for secession.
Angered by a system they say has squandered economic potential and disenfranchised the ordinary citizen, they have had enough. They want Rome to sell their island to the Swiss. “People laugh when we say we should go to become part of Switzerland. That’s to be expected,” said Andrea Caruso, co-founder of the Canton Marittimo (Maritime Canton) movement. While many have dismissed the proposal as a joke, its supporters insist they are serious. “The madness does not lie in putting forward this kind of suggestion,” said Caruso. “The madness lies in how things are now.”
The Sardinians are not mad. As with Charter Cities the idea is that if you can’t move to good rules then have the good rules move to you. Charter city proponents, however, are focused on relatively uninhabited areas to avoid political problems but the Sardinians are inviting new rules and rulers. In the United States, firms can choose which state to incorporate in and thus which of 50 packages of laws will govern the relations between their shareholders and managers. Why not let cities, states and regions adopt wholesale a package of laws that will govern them? Competitive federalism on a world scale. | positive |
No Joke: The Onion Wins One of Journalism’s Biggest Awards
It’s not layoff news, and it’s not an April Fools prank: The Onion has won a Peabody, one of journalism’s most highfalutin awards.
The Peabodys, administered out of the University of Georgia, date back to 1941, and honor “the most outstanding achievements in electronic media, including radio, television and cable.” They tend to go to earnest television documentaries and the like, but they also allow for some very smart, quirky stuff.
Hence the award for the weekly’s “Onion News Network” video site, which debuted two years ago but has really been hitting its stride lately (disclosure: I’m pals with some Onion people). Per the judges: “The satirical tabloid’s online send-up of 24-hour cable-TV news was hilarious, trenchant and not infrequently hard to distinguish from the real thing.”
Other winners include the New York Times’s (NYT) excellent Web site, CBS’s (CBS) “60 Minutes” and… “Lost,” from Disney’s (DIS) ABC. But none of those are as fun to embed as Onion clips.
Here’s the Onion’s most recent effort:
Morning Show Host Starts Charity to Rid World of Flying Debris
And here’s a beauty that, like some other Onion stories, got digested as bonafide news in some places:

And while this one isn’t technically an Onion clip, I’ve always enjoyed its many meta qualities: | positive |
.- Spain’s National Court has ruled that the Family Planning Federation, a subsidiary of Planned Parenthood International, can no longer be designated as a “public service organization” in Spain.
Under Spanish law, an organization qualified as a public service organization receives numerous tax, economic, administrative and legal benefits.
The Spanish subsidiarity of the International Planned Parenthood Federation lost its designation in May 2016, when it was discovered the group had been illegally financed for seven years. The National Court temporarily reinstated the designation after reforms were promised.
However, on Nov. 25 the National Court definitively revoked FPF’s public service organization status, ruling in favor of an appeal issued by Minister of the Interior, and the Christian Lawyers Association which sought to have the international organization disqualified.
Christian Lawyers Association president Polonia Castellanos celebrated the decision and stated that “an organization which has systematically failed to comply with the law cannot be granted that status.”
She also asked that the FPF no longer be granted “the more than €400,000 they receive with the money coming out of our pockets.”
Castellanos pointed out that the abortion-provider is also funded by its American counterpart, Planned Parenthood, which has been under congressional investigation in the U.S. for illegally trafficking in the organs and tissues of aborted babies.
The Christian Lawyers Association’s Complaint
The CLA initially filed a complaint with the Minister of the Interior alleging the FPFE had not declared income from ads they ran in a pharmaceutical magazine, prohibited under Spanish law, nor were they penalized for such advertising.
The Interior Ministry withdrew the public service designation from the group, alleging that “such illegal conduct is incompatible with the advancement of the public interest, in this case, protecting the public’s health.”
The ministry also stated that “it involves betraying the confidence that society places in that entity which claims to benefit the community in exchange for receiving important advantages.”
Following the decision, the Family Planning Federation filed suit against the Interior Ministry and the Christian Lawyers Association. The National Court determined in fact that the Interior Ministry had acted properly, and dismissed the lawsuits, requiring the FPF to pay court costs for their failed litigation.
For Luis Losada Pescador, director of Spain’s CitizenGo campaigns, this is “really good news from the Spanish perspective because justice is being done.”
“An organization that hides income and dodges penalties is not serving the public interest. From the international point of view, this comes when the FBI may be starting an investigation into the largest abortion multinational in the world with great influence in Latin America through its subsidiaries,” he said.
Finally, he stated that this Spanish precedent “is very importantt because it opens the door to penalties against the American parent company.”
Qualifying for PSO status
According to Spanish law, institutions can be officially designated as “public service organizations” if their “statutory ends tend to promote the public interest and are of a civic, educational, scientific, cultural, sports or health related nature, promoting constitutional values and human rights.”
In addition the law states “associations designated as public service organizations have the following rights: they can state their PSO status on all types of documents after their name; enjoy exemptions and financial benefits recognized by law for such organizations under the terms and conditions provided by current regulations; enjoy economic benefits established by law; and free legal aid under the terms of the specific legislation.”
PSO legal status is granted by the Spanish Government’s Minister of the Interior.
As a PSO, the Spanish Family Planning Federation received around 377,000 € ($445,000) in public funding a year.

FORGAN, Okla. (AP) — Numerous wildfires are burning in Oklahoma and evacuations have been ordered in the state's northwest.
Woodward County Emergency Management Director Matt Lehenbauer (LEE'-en-bower) says up to 200 people had to leave their homes late Monday afternoon in Woodward County and Beaver County officials told residents of Gate, a town of about 90 people, to leave their homes. Evacuations were also ordered near Laverne and Buffalo in Harper County.
The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management says one fire has burned more than 15½ square miles in Beaver County and another 62½ square miles in neighboring Kansas.
Department spokeswoman Keli Cain said fires are also reported in Payne, Logan, Mayes, Beckham, Okmulgee, Osage, Stephens, Texas and Woods counties, but no injuries are reported from any fires. | positive |
A century of improbable shockers – Sportspress Northwest Twitter Football Baseball NCAA Hockey Soccer Basketball Twitter Twitter Home»Uncategorized»A century of improbable shockers Uncategorized A century of improbable shockers By Steve Rudman December 31, 2010 2 Comments8 Mins Read Facebook Twitter Reddit LinkedIn Email Share Facebook Twitter Reddit LinkedIn Email Mason Foster, Washington's All-America linebacker, celebrates the Huskies' 19-7 win over Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl (Drew McKenzie/Sportspress Northwest) No individual in his or her right mind figured Washington to pull off a 47-point turnaround against Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl. But the Huskies did, rebounding from a 56-21 loss to the Cornhuskers last September by beating them 19-7 on Thursday night in San Diego. In the first meeting between the teams, Nebraska featured an absurd three 100-yard rushers, first time in UW history the Huskies had allowed a trio of backs to accomplish that feat. In the rematch, not one Cornhusker runner cracked 40 yards. The Omaha World called Nebraska’s loss “ridiculous.” Maybe so. Husky fans might subscribe to “sublime” as a more apt description. Back in late 2008, The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists ranked the most improbable shockers by teams and individuals in state sports history. In a revised list, authors Mike Gastineau of KJR-AM and Art Thiel and Steve Rudman of Sportspress Northwest would consider inserting Washington’s Holiday Bowl conquest of Nebraska. Following is the 2008 list. Let us know where you would insert Washington’s upset of the Cornhuskers. 10. Bellevue snaps De La Salles 151-game win streak, Sept. 4, 2004. The Wolverines turned one of the most anticipated games in state high school history the match-up with De La Salle of Concord, CA., the nations top prep team into what more closely resembled an ordinary Kingco Conference 3A romp. Bellevue ran the ball at will (Bellevue did not even attempt a pass), delighting an Emerald City Kickoff Classic crowd of 24,987 at Qwest Field. The 39-20 victory, coming against a team that had shut out seven opponents a year earlier, snapped De La Salles national record 151-game winning streak that began in 1992. 9. Lindgren upsets the Russians, July 25, 1964. Spokane’s Gerry Lindgren won 11 of the 12 NCAA cross-country events he contested while a student at Washington State, set a six-mile world record in 1965, held national records at 3,000 and 5,000 meters, and was national champion at 10,000. But nothing Lindgren did gained him more enduring fame than his performance in the USA-USSR track meet when, as largely unknown 17-year-old, he outran two seasoned Russians, Leonid Ivanov and Anatoly Dutov, to win the 10,000 in front of 50,515 fans at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Lindgren opened up a 20-yard lead at the four-mile mark and steadily widened his margin, finally winning in 29:17.6, with more than 100 yards to spare. 8. UW finally beats a No. 1, Feb. 22, 1979. Brad Holland put the Huskies (11-13) in the soup with 15 seconds to play with two free throws to give UCLA (eventually 25-5) its first lead of the night. Washingtons first option was 7-1 center Petur Gudmundsson. But the Bruins defense forced UW to a second option, Stan Walker, who hit a jumper over All-America Keith Wilkes, giving Washington a 69-68 victory the first time a UW basketball team beat the No. 1-ranked team in the nation. 7. Huskies hand Wooden last loss, Feb. 22, 1975. John Wooden won 10 NCAA basketball titles during his tenure at UCLA. His last defeat came at Hec Edmundson Pavilion when the Huskies (16-7), led by Larry Johnsons 27 points and 14 rebounds, built a 52-44 halftime lead, went on a 10-0 run in the second half and upended the Bruins 103-81, UWs first win over the Bruins in 12 years. Undeterred, UCLA (28-3) regrouped to win another national championship, and Wooden retired. 6. Cope wins Daytona 500, Feb.18, 1990. A lightly regarded racer from little Spanaway, south of Tacoma, Derrike Cope had never came close to winning a NASCAR event in 71 career attempts, and was given no shot in a field that included Dale Earnhardt, desperate to win the only race that eluded him. Earnhardt led for 155 of 199 laps and seemed certain to win when the flag dropped for one final spin around the oval. Cope, remarkably, put himself in a position he led laps 194-195 to take advantage of any trouble. Cope got his break when Earnhardt ran over debris that nearly caused him to lose control. Cope sped by for a win that, in 2008, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary celebration of the race, was voted the greatest upset in the history of Daytona. 5. Seahawks 27, Dolphins 20, Dec. 31, 1983. No one expected the Seahawks to give Dan Marino and the Dolphins much of a game, especially at the Orange Bowl in an AFC divisional playoff game. At 9-7, Seattle narrowly made the playoffs, was in only its second postseason contest, and an eight-point underdog. Trailing 20-17 halfway through the final period, the Seahawks went 66 yards in five plays, including one of the seminal plays in team history a 40-yard pass from Dave Krieg to Steve Largent that set up rookie Curt Warners two-yard, game-winning TD inside two minutes. The 27-20 victory was the first playoff win in franchise history and remains the only playoff game the Seahawks have won on the road. 4. Larry Owings over Dan Gable, March 28, 1970. Dan Gable never lost a wrestling match in high school (64 consecutive victories), nor at Iowa State University. When he stepped onto the mat at McGaw Hall on the Northwestern campus, he was a three-time All-America, two-time NCAA champion and the winner of 181 consecutive matches, including his previous final five by pins. His seemingly in-over-his-head opponent in the 142-pound NCAA final: University of Washington sophomore Larry Owings. Owings trailed Gable 10-9 with 25 seconds left but had a near pin and a takedown to win the match. An eight-minute video of Owings’ triumph was subsequently placed on permanent display in the Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, OK. Noted the Chicago Tribune: Owings gave us one of the most unforgettable moments in the history of wrestling and possibly all sport. 3. Whammy in Miami, Sept. 24, 1994. The Hurricanes were 14-point favorites over UW for at least two good reasons: No. 5 Miami had not lost at the Orange Bowl in 58 games over eight years, and had not lost at home to a team outside of Florida in more than a decade. Miami also had a defense anchored by Warren Sapp (in his Outland Trophy season) and Ray Lewis (future All-Pro linebacker). Miami held a 14-3 halftime lead, but sparked by a 75-yard touchdown pass (Damon Huard to Richard Thomas), a 34-yard interception return (Russell Hairston) and a fumble recovery TD (Bob Sapp), the Huskies (2-1) went on a 22-point scoring spree to break open the game. Miami head coach Dennis Erickson, an Everett native coaching against fellow Snohomish County native Jim Lambright, labeled the 38-20 loss a fluke. Erickson resigned after a 10-2 season to take the head coaching job with the Seahawks. 2. Seattle U. derails undefeated Texas Western, March 3, 1966. The Miners entered the Seattle Coliseum (later KeyArena) with a 23-0 record and a No. 2 national ranking. With 11,557 watching, the Seattle U. Chieftains, after changing leads 19 times, handed Texas Western (later Texas-El Paso) its only defeat, 74-72, when Tom Workman swished a shot with 53 seconds left. The visitors missed three shots and a free throw in the waning seconds. Less than a month later, the Miners became the first all-black team to win the NCAA title when they upset heavily favored Adolph Rupps Kentucky team in the championship game. Texas Westerns loss in Seattle was its only one of the year. 1. UW rowers beat the Russians, July 19, 1958. A scandal in the University of Washington football program boosters paid players, resulting in NCAA sanctions against all of the schools teams prevented coach Al Ulbricksons rowers from taking part in the 1958 national collegiate championships. So the Huskies accepted invitations to take part in the Henley Royal Regatta on the Thames River in London, and in an international competition on the Khiminskoe Reservoir outside Moscow that had been arranged by the State Department as part of a cultural exchange. At Henley, the UW eight drew the defending world champion Trud Club of Leningrad, Russia, and lost by a length and a quarter. Trud went on to win the Grand Challenge Cup. Fifteen days later, the Huskies lined up against four Russian crews Trud Club, Soviet Army, Moscow Spartak and Kiev Dynamos. With KOMO sports director Keith Jackson broadcasting the race live — the first broadcast of a sports event from behind the Iron Curtain — the UW caught and passed the Soviet Army shell at the 500-meter mark. At 1,000 meters, Washington opened up a one-length lead over Trud and went on to win by one and three quarters lengths in 6:18.06 one of the greatest upsets in rowing history. Share.

Doesn’t really belong on this list because it was just an exhibition game, but was a shocker. They sat some of their best players, and then they suddenly appeared on the bench or the third period. Didn’t help all that much. What a fun game to attend! Love the site, guys. Acadian on December 31, 2010 1:10 pm I would slide it in ahead of the Whammy in Miami at No. 3. UW was still recognized as a strong program at that time, and while a sweet victory it was, it was not the stunner that this one was. I’m not familiar with the first two on the list, so will not presume to knock them off.

With Travis Hamonic – the big fish available in terms of a right-handed defenceman who can play shutdown minutes competently — now a Calgary Flame, the Toronto Maple Leafs aren’t left with many obvious solutions to the glaring hole on the right side of their defensive depth chart.
With the expansion draft in the rearview, Anaheim in no apparent rush to deal Sami Vatanen and the free agency pool thin on quality right-handed defencemen not named Kevin Shattenkirk, many in the Toronto media and fan base are seemingly coming to grips with the idea that the Leafs might simply sit this round out as far as a big splash on the blue line is concerned.
The organization drafted a highly-skilled right-handed defenceman for the future in 18-year-old Timothy Liljegren with their first-round pick in the 2017 draft instead of spending it on help for today — a decision geared towards strengthening the team’s ten-year plan rather than expediting the process to capitalize on a two-year window of heightened cap flexibility. The Leafs will almost certainly make an effort to bring back a veteran depth piece like Matt Hunwick on a short-term deal, and they’ve already added two defencemen out of the SHL who will compete for spots — alongside standout Marlies rookie Travis Dermott — in the Fall. Could that be the extent of it for the 2017 offseason?
It’s certainly pointing in the direction of a slow-and-steady approach of late, but we’re not even at July 1st yet. There are a few pieces who could still move via trade and a few names worth looking at in the free agency pool who could help the Leafs to varying degrees in 2017-18.
Jason Demers
Pros
Production wise, Jason Demers’ 2016-17 season was his best since 2013-14. He collected nine goals (a career-high) and 28 points in 81 games, with only five of those points coming on the power play. If we combine shorthanded and even strength points, Demers was Florida’s most productive defenceman in non-power play situations with 23.
Demers can move the puck, he’s mobile, he’s right-handed, and he’s handled second-pairing minutes well in the past. Also working in his favour is that he can take a shorthanded shift; he played 1:45/game on the penalty kill for the Panthers last season, which is the same amount he’s averaged over his 321 games played since 2012-13 (that includes seasons with the Sharks and Stars).
The 29-year-old is not a huge power play weapon by any means, but he has also played a secondary role on the man advantage. That doesn’t really matter to the Leafs anyway, given they have plenty of PP options on the blue line for Jim Hiller’s 4F/1D system between Rielly, Gardiner, and Zaitsev.
Cons
Last year was a disaster for the pairing of Demers and Michael Matheson in Florida — they were filled-in to the tune of a 36% GF in their 400 minutes of shared 5v5 ice time, which contributed to Demers’ career-worst -14 plus/minus. Demers wasn’t the steady defensive presence the Panthers were hoping he would be next to the rookie defenceman, and we can assume that GM Dale Tallon – now back in charge in Florida – isn’t a fan of his contract. When the Panthers lost Jonathan Marchessault to Vegas in order to protect four defencemen in the expansion draft, Demers wasn’t on the list.
Demers played 125 minutes with Jakub Kindl when apart from Matheson, with better results in terms of GF% but horrible possession numbers. His best results in both categories came alongside Keith Yandle – his most frequent partner with 647 minutes of shared 5v5 ice time — but they weren’t fantastic by any means (47.2% GF, 49.9% CF). It was a tough year for a lot of players in Florida.
In the past, Demers has thrived next to defensively-sound lefties rather than offensive-minded partners. His possession impacts and goal shares were really strong next to Johnny Oduya and Marc-Edouard Vlasic, his most common partners in his final years in Dallas and in San Jose, respectively.
Verdict: No, unless dirt cheap to acquire
I’d argue Demers is a legitimate #4 who could help drive play in the right situation, but the Leafs might not be that situation. They already have Nikita Zaitsev locked in long-term at the same number – $4.5 million – and his rookie numbers suggest he is in a similar boat to Demers: a capable puck mover, solid even-strength point producer, and a respectable #4 who has some holes in his game defensively.
Should the Leafs take on four more years of Demers at $4.5 million contract and cough up some assets to do it, or are they better off playing the waiting game and leaving Connor Carrick (and Calle Rosen, who has played the right) to try to stake a claim to that spot in the meantime? I’d lean towards the latter.
Cody Franson
Pros
I wrote about the Leafs’ trading Cody Franson for futures back in February 2015 here, which provides some insight into the player and the decision to ship him out for those who understandably tuned out during that dismal period of Leafs history.
This season, there’s no doubting Franson started to put it all together on the top pairing with Dion Phaneuf. The two turned out to be an okay match, despite all indications to the contrary given how poorly the two ended the season as the first powerplay D unit the year previous. They famously gave up two shorthanded goals against in one game during the 2013-14 collapse and were routinely exposed for a combined lack of mobility by faster penalty killers if a turnover developed high in the zone on a Leaf powerplay. As it turned out, with both on their strong sides, the two played the game at a similar pace; they were able to slow things down, move the puck reasonably well, and string some decent games together. Franson has not played as well with either Morgan Rielly or Jake Gardiner as a partner, and it seems he can be exposed if his partner is pushing the tempo and taking chances, a circumstance in which he has to be leaned on as the defensive presence. While the team is in such disrepair that it is tough to evaluate anything with confidence, he hasn’t looked as good since Dion Phaneuf went down to injury. The challenge in considering Franson’s eligibility as a core piece is projecting where he slots in on a good team. The Leafs haven’t had answers in the big matchups, but parsing where the blame lies is difficult; relative possession stats suggest Franson was coping with top pairing minutes and competition fairly well this season. The Leafs have never gotten their team defence to a level that could be deemed anything close to acceptable, which makes it particularly hard to evaluate overburdened defencemen the last several seasons. Would it be fair to project him as a number four on the right side of a second pairing on a good team? How Franson is going to age, with hip problems in the past that have affected his pivoting ability and overall agility, and if there’s sound sense in signing defencemen long term into their thirties when they aren’t good skaters, are the other bigger picture considerations. Neither fall in favour of giving Franson the deal he wanted to ensure he didn’t go hunting for max dollar in unrestricted free agency.
In Buffalo, Franson’s relative possession and even-strength point production numbers remained pretty strong, although his power play production took a step back on a Sabres team that’s afforded him fewer man-advantage opportunities (1:46/game).
Cody Franson - Last 3 Seasons (Team Rank)
SEASON CF% REL PP Pts/60 EV Pts/60 2014-15 1.8 5.29 0.89 2015-16 2.7 (2nd) 3.43 (4th) 0.67 (2nd) 2016-17 5.0 (1st) 1.22 (6th) 0.88 (1st)
The biggest checkmarks in the pro column here are Franson’s possession numbers – he can handle and move the puck, with good first-pass ability – and his ability to chip in offensively, at even-strength and on the power play, although the latter is not an area where the Leafs lack for options. His overall point production would probably increase on a high-scoring Leafs team, particularly with his touch on the offensive blue line. The Leafs funnelled pucks toward the net at a higher rate than all but two other teams in the NHL last season and Franson is highly effective at getting shots through into the right areas for tips and rebounds, something the Leafs’ skilled forward group could theoretically benefit from.
Cons
There is a certain level of mobility required to play Babcock hockey as a defenceman. Toronto has one of the more active defence groups in the league, and it’s not uncommon to see a Leafs defenceman — occasionally even two — down below the hashmarks sustaining a cycle. Franson can be lethal just inside the offensive blue line, but he’s not a player who should make habit of adventuring too deeply down the walls because his ability to recover with his first three steps isn’t a strength. Polak – who many would consider the Leafs’ worst skater on the blue line last year – is faster in a straight line and gets up to speed quicker than Franson (caveat: I can’t speak to how much Polak’s season-ending injury might slow him down going forward).
That could also be the reason why Franson only played about 47 seconds a game on the Sabres’ penalty kill since he arrived in Buffalo (their PK was poor in both years). Franson learned to make better use of his 6’5 frame in his time as a Maple Leaf; he also owns a long reach and he’s a smart enough player. That combination might make him a reasonable secondary option in Toronto, but what he lacks as a penalty killer is the ability to win short foot races to loose pucks.
Franson averaged just under 18 minutes a game while in Buffalo (15:08 at evens), flirting with top-four minutes at times and playing a bottom-pairing role at others. He’s battled some inconsistency and he’s also dealt with a number of injuries (59 and 68 GP the last two years). About to hit 30 and with his skating ability being what it is, it’s hard to picture Franson transforming the team’s top four significantly for the better.
Verdict: No
The Leafs shouldn’t have to give out much in the way of term to get Franson back into the fold; there are injury concerns, he didn’t really find his place in Buffalo, and he’s expressed a keen interest in returning to Toronto, where he played the best hockey of his NHL career.
It’s not the worst idea in the world, but it obviously falls well short of a proper solution. Franson held his own in a top-pairing situation alongside Dion Phaneuf once upon a time, but it’s hard to bank on that at this point. He could upgrade the right side of the second pairing, although it would likely be at the expense of Connor Carrick, who might have some upside worth exploring still and has posted some good possession numbers of his own. It would be nothing more than a short-term stopgap and it likely wouldn’t move the needle in a significant way as far as the team’s defensive results.
Colin Miller
Pros
I hate to keep circling back to the Colin Miller suggestion without knowing if he’s even available (he’s one of only two right-shot D on the Vegas Golden Knights roster), but it’s one idea that continues to make sense a week removed from the expansion draft.
Leafs management is familiar with Miller: A fifth-round draft choice of the LA Kings in 2012, the 24-year-old took a big leap forward in his draft plus-one season under Sheldon Keefe and Kyle Dubas in Sault Ste. Marie, posting 20 goals and 55 points in 54 games while serving as captain of the Greyhounds (Mark Hunter would be familiar with him from his time in the OHL and probably scouted him going back to midget, as well).
After leaving junior, Miller was a dominant AHL player by his second season with the Manchester Monarchs, piling up 20 goals (first among AHL defencemen) and 55 points and an additional 10 points in 19 games en route to a Calder Cup championship in 2015. At the 2015 AHL All-Star event, Miller won the fastest skater (13.8-second lap) and hardest shot (105mph reading) competitions.
Traded to Boston as part of the Milan Lucic for Martin Jones swap, he split 2015-16 between the AHL and the big club before graduating to the Bruins full-time last season. He played soft minutes on the top possession team in the Eastern Conference, but his underlying numbers relative to his teammates and his With or Without You impacts are better than good.
While his point production was pretty modest (6g, 7a in 61GP), he was top five in the NHL at his position (minimum 500 minutes played) in shot suppression and shot generation relative to his teammates.
2016-17 Season, Defencemen with min. 500 minutes played
NHL Rank CF% 60% 2nd CF per 60 RELTM 8.81 4th CA per 60 RELTM -7.74 3rd SF% 61.9% 1st SF60 RELTM +3.69 5th SA60 RELTM -6.09 1st GF% 52.7 70th GF60 RELTM 0.12 70th GA60 RELTM -0.35 41st
With his skill and excellent skating ability, Miller could be a good fit for the system we saw in Toronto under Babcock last season with a highly-active defence (sometimes they’re first in on a forecheck) and plenty of chips and chases, high flips and stretch passes, all executed at a high rate of speed. Babcock would have more patience to work through some of the warts with Miller than Bruce Cassidy ever did in Boston, where there is a wealth of right-handed options (Brandon Carlo, Charlie McAvoy, Kevan Miller, Adam McQuaid).
Cons
The big question mark is how the numbers and skill set will translate if Miller goes from a bottom-pair role competing against checking lines to a top-four role playing against scoring lines, which he spent little time doing last season. He played under 14 minutes a night at even strength and started 42% of his shifts in the offensive zone, which was the highest among Bruins defencemen. His opponents’ Goals For per 60 – a measure of strength of competition – was the lowest among Bruins regulars. Put simply, these were pillow soft minutes.
The question marks in Boston surrounding Miller’s ability to take the next step focused on his decision-making and puck management; clearly, head coach Bruce Cassidy did not feel like Miller could be relied on in key situations. The impressive set of tools Miller possesses – a fast, powerful skater who can handle and hammer the puck – falls apart without the “toolbox” (i.e. hockey sense), his critics argue.
Miller also hasn’t spent any time killing penalties as an NHL player – not to say he couldn’t one day — which could be problematic for Babcock if Miller ends up on the bottom pairing where Roman Polak used to be.
Verdict: Yes, at the the right price
The Leafs shouldn’t pay a price that makes Miller out to be anything more than what he’s proven to be in his short NHL career to date: a depth defenceman who can tilt the ice on the bottom pair and take some power play shifts. This should be a relatively inexpensive bet on the hope that Miller has some untapped potential that could be unfurled when afforded more opportunity.
The idea here would be to bring Connor Carrick and Colin Miller to camp and have them battle it out for the second pair spot on the right side of the Leafs defence. While Franson would be little more than a veteran stopgap, Miller might have the potential to play his way into being part of the solution moving forward. Unlike Franson, however, we don’t know if Miller is available and what he’ll cost to acquire. | positive |
Ola Toivonen: Sweden international could be on his way to England
The 26-year-old forward has just one year left on his current deal at the Philips Stadion, and he is looking to leave.
The Dutch giants have told him to sign a new deal or he will be training with the youth side from the start of next season.
"The asking price is too high. I've said it before and I continue to say it," said Toivonen, about PSV wanting a reported £4million.
However, despite the player's protests, reports claim that Norwich have agreed terms with PSV.
PSV technical director Marcel Brands told VI: "There is real interest, and also from a number of clubs."
The Sweden international, who can play in midfield or attack, has been with PSV for four years since joining from Malmo. | positive |

Limiting to millisecond precision creates strange error messages. E.g. "2020-01-01T00:00:00.000 is before 2020-01-01T00:00:00.000" when the two dates differ by less than 1ms. In Effective Java Josh Bloch writes that the toString() method should be primarily for developers. He recommends making it an unambiguous representation of the object's state. Since Orekit is a library written for other developers and given how toString() is used I agree. There are other methods for presenting dates to users. It is in UTC which needs leap seconds to be loaded. Instances of AbsoluteDate can be created without loading leap seconds, but the toString() method doesn't work, creating one of the most common errors in Orekit for new comers and experienced developers alike. It uses the default data context. This can produce some strange error messages when an application is using a different data context as the leap second tables may be different. Also, this use of the default data context can only be detected at runtime using an ExceptionalDataContext, which is problematic. Implementation Options Just keep the current implementation. The shortcomings are minor. Use TAI and extend the precision of the seconds field, and include "TAI" to denote the time scale. TAI is the de facto time scale of AbsoluteDate so no time scale conversions would need to be done. 16 digits after the decimal place would eliminate most ambiguity issues, but some ambiguity still exists for small values of AbsoluteDate.offset. TAI conversion is less complex and buggy than UTC conversion, as seen in the bugs reported concerning time. A reliable toString() is helpful for developers, especially in exception messages. The result would be neither ISO 8601 nor RFC 3339 since they require UTC or an integer number of minutes offset thereof. To generate those formats use toString(TimeScale) and related methods. Print the epoch and offset as stored internally in AbsoluteDate. Unambiguous but perhaps not that user friendly. Add epoch and offset using BigDecimal or similar class and convert the result to a string. The result would be seconds past the AbsoluteDate epoch. Should theoretically be unambiguous because of how those values are set. Needs some more investigation to see if it is possible to have epoch + offset sum to the same number but be set to different values. Perhaps this kind of ambiguity is not significant because equals, compareTo, and durationFrom are all computed based on the sum of epoch + offset. Combine 3 and 1 so the developer gets a description in calendar format and full precision, unambiguous representation of the AbsoluteDate. Something like "123456.789456123456789 (2020-01-01T00:00:00... TAI)". others Based on the discussion it seemed there was a preference for printing elapsed seconds since an epoch and date-time components in the TAI time scale. To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information Assignee Select assignee Assign to Time tracking | negative |

New Yorkers could soon be packing their bags and heading to Canterbury after its delights were hailed by one of the world’s biggest newspapers.
A review of the city by pilot-come-travel journalist Mark Vanhoenacker - titled 36 Hours in Canterbury, England - has been published by the New York Times.
In it he describes Canterbury as “the small city of prayer, stone and stories”, recounting his fleeting day-and-a-half trip.
Canterbury Cathedral
First stop is the Westgate Towers, which the author claims offers “the best view in Canterbury”, with a quick cocktail at One Pound Lane adding bite to his visit.
City playwright Christopher Marlowe receives a mention, with the theatre bearing his name described as “one of Britain’s finest regional stages”.
Dinner is served at the Unicorn Inn in St Dunstan’s Street, “one of the friendliest for traditional British pub fare”, but it is the Goods Shed in Station Road West which truly has the author salivating.
“It’s hard to imagine a more pleasurable food emporium than the Goods Shed, an 1830s-era former railway depot now home to a restaurant, farmers’ market and a food hall that’s filled to the rafters with fiercely locavore, reasonably priced delights,” he writes.
Historic St Dunstan's and its pubs and cafes impressed the travel writer
Three of the city’s “finest shops” capture the writer’s attention - the Chaucer Bookshop, Vinylstore Jr and vintage clothing store Revivals.
The Refectory Kitchen in St Dunstan’s Street, with its “comforting” hot chocolate, wins plaudits, as does St Peter’s Street cafe Kitch, which “wouldn’t be out of place in the Hamptons”.
There’s a nod to Bollywood Blast dance classes at the Canterbury Academy, and a plea for readers to sample the sounds of nightingales in Blean Woods, “part of one of England’s most beloved ancient woodlands."
The Michelin-starred Sportsman in Seasalter serves up dinner during Mr Vanhoenacker’s short stay, but the pub’s remote position on the coast almost catches him unawares.
“The place was so unassuming that I asked my taxi driver to wait while I confirmed the address,” he writes.
The award-winning Sportsman in Seasalter
A feast of Whitstable oysters, Dover sole and pork belly is washed down with Master Brew.
Canterbury Roman Museum, St Augustine’s Abbey and the St Martin’s Church tickle the author’s cultural tastebuds, but it’s the city’s most famous landmark which leaves the biggest impression.
“I first saw Canterbury Cathedral from the air, as a student pilot on a flight high above Kent in 2002,” the author recalls.
“The architectural majesty of the worldwide Anglican Communion’s mother church remains as pleasing a landmark as any I’ve seen.”
Canterbury City Council’s tourism department helped Mr Vanhoenacker with his itinerary and advised places to visit.
Its head of business and regeneration, Caroline Hicks, said: “Naturally we are delighted with the piece in the New York Times.
“While it’s not quite money-can’t-buy publicity, this type of international coverage would certainly cost a fortune if you were paying.” | positive |
OAKLAND, Calif. - The crowd was tight to the court a half-hour before the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors tipped off and only one player was left shooting.
Moving clockwise, around the top of the 3-point arc, Derrick Rose pushed off both feet and shot effortlessly, repeatedly. There is still daily rehab, but there are also two workouts per day, there is running on a treadmill, now there is shooting. There are no timetables, none spoken of publicly anyway, because everyone involved is taking a much smarter approach this time with Rose's Recovery, The Sequel.

Nobody has spoken publicly of being "cleared by doctors" and presumably nobody will. Not a word has been uttered aloud about Rose coming back anytime soon to play for the Bulls.
But it doesn't mean for a second that Rose is down or dour; quite the opposite. While Rose hasn't talked publicly in weeks about this second comeback, his demeanor is absolutely upbeat. A torn medial meniscus in the right knee isn't nearly as painful or as difficult to come back from as a torn ACL. The rehab isn't nearly as difficult, neither is the recovery time, and the psyche isn't as battered on the road back.
Last winter, even when Rose had resumed practicing with his teammates, he'd say to people he knew, "I know I'm doing the right thing." Even so, there was a caution, if not trepidation about playing again, advisedly so, given that so many players with ripped up ACLs had come back too soon and said so.
But no such trepidation appears to exist this time, not outwardly anyway, and Rose has never been an actor. He's engaged in a way he wasn't a year ago, with basketball in general and his team specifically. People close to Rose say he's never watched and studied the game the way he does now, both the detail and the volume of games. He knows the tendencies of half the college point guards in America, from Syracuse's Tyler Ennis to Northwestern's Tre Demps to Iowa State's DeAndre Kane.
Coach Tom Thibodeau decided to engage Rose more fully this time around, playfully grilling him these days on nuances of the game usually reserved for grizzled veterans or assistant coaches. Rose has joked that Thibs is trying to turn him into a coach, and told teammates that sure enough, he sees the game in greater detail having watched so much from the sideline, in ways that will make him a better player when he can get on the court and stay there.
If only his knees will hold up the next time, whenever that time is.
All this is to say, there's a reasonable optimism around Rose right now, given how depressing things were Nov. 22 when he suffered the torn meniscus. Of course, there's no reliable forecast that will guarantee Rose's health going forward, no matter if his latest recovery is on or ahead of schedule, as recent reports have suggested. And whenever he does return, every person watching, in arena and on television, will hold his or her breath with every cut, sudden stop, landing or explosion.
The team's decisions to not give daily updates on Rose or make him available to the media for constant comment are surely wise ones. They might actually tamp down irrational expectations as long as Adidas doesn't schedule a massive "comeback" campaign. Joakim Noah's play and attitude won't let the Bulls roll over without Derrick Rose. Mike DiNovo/USA TODAY Sports
Anyway, just as Rose's mood appears decidedly sunny, the fog lifted from the team some time ago, that is after the one-two punch of Rose's second injury and the trade of Luol Deng. Now, the Bulls simply deal with the daily issue of being completely unable to score for long stretches against even the most mediocre defensive teams. But the fight is back, and fairly consistent even as the team's level of play fluctuates.
The fight is there because Joakim Noah's there, daring anyone to suggest his team will purposely tank to improve its draft position. Does Noah's emotional pot boil over occasionally, such as Monday night in Sacramento when he demonstrably dropped f-bombs on each of three officials? Well, yes. Thursday night, after I'd suggested on "PTI" that Noah's profane rant wasn't that big a deal, and perhaps even understandable in the context of trying to carry the emotional load of a team missing two of its three Musketeers (Rose and Deng), Noah said, "You can't defend any part of what I did the other night. It was bad. Can't do it ... It was just a bad look."
OK, it was inexcusably boorish behavior, but on some perverse level, Noah's absolute refusal to give in -- even when he colors outside the lines -- is a huge part of what the Tom Thibodeau Bulls are built on. There's a level of determination, some would even say athletic defiance, they have to play with, especially without the franchise player. They're likely going to be a .500 team at best, but Thibs and Noah would rather take on all comers than let somebody suggest they'd roll over, no matter how many teammates are injured or traded.
Noah being named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team is a vote for determination and the willingness to have teammates' backs at any cost, nearly as much as performance over the first half of the season. As the Bulls fight through the final stop of their six-game road trip, perhaps the optimism that comes from Rose hitting all those jump shots and Noah's inclusion in the mid-season classic will remind the Bulls of what could be if the two of them can one day soon be the formidable tag team we used to know. | positive |

Today’s column comes from Carolyn Hax, of the Washington Post. The letter writer has been dating a man for three months. She does not know whether they are on the marriage track or whether he is using her for sex. But, she believes that she should not ask too forcefully, that is, that she should not lean in. Here is the letter: I have been dating a man for three months. Neither of us has brought up whether we are in a relationship, although I trust we are exclusively dating. I want to be in a relationship and fear I am in the friends-with-benefits zone. I tend to think it's best to wait for him to bring up that he wants to be in a relationship, not me, because then I know he really wants it and won't think I am trying to trap him into one. I know part of me is afraid of getting rejected because he got out of a very long relationship seven months ago, and maybe I am not ready to walk away if he rejects a relationship. How do you think I should approach this? — FWB-Zoned In truth, the letter does not tell us enough. We do not know much of anything about this relationship. We do not know how often they see each other. We do not know whether they go out with friends or family. We do not know how often they communicate with each other. We do not know whether he takes her out for dinner. We do not know whether he calls her at 11:00, wanting to come over and spend the night. We do not know how old they are and we do not know what they do for a living. An intelligent young lady would examine these aspects of the relationship before deciding what the young man’s intentions are. In that case, if she finds that he is using her for sex, she need merely take a step or two back from him, to put some distance between them… and to see whether he flakes off or offers more. She might be more mysterious, not answering the phone right away, not texting back immediately, being unavailable one evening because she has planned to have a girls’ night. And she should not pick up the phone when he calls late at night wanting to hook up. Naturally, Carolyn Hax rejects these solutions. She belongs to the lean in school of thought, whereby women put themselves out on a limb and wait for it to be sawed off. Since Hax’s mind is addled with feminist thought, she emphasizes the equality of it all and sets this woman up for making a fool of herself. Why aren’t you worried he’s trying to “trap” (ugh!) you into a relationship? He has value, but you don’t? And why isn’t it possible he is waiting for you to bring up that you want to be in a relationship because he wants to know you really want it? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. Live! Your! Life! Ask for what you want. For those who are slightly less ideological, we would note that a young man, upon being asked the question, might very well not tell the truth. Fancy that. Imagine that he wants to continue having her as his main squeeze but does not want to commit to her. What will he say? If he is a perfidious young man-- and feminists have assured us that this is the nature of the male animal-- he will declare that they are in a relationship, even though he sees her as a FWB. So, Hax, being a good feminist, sets the woman up to be used by a man. My approach, being far more considerate, recommends that she read the signs-- the ones noted above-- to discern his intentions. Has he made her an integral part of his life? Has he introduced her to his friends and family? Has he invited her for Christmas dinner? If she reads these signs she will retain her dignity and self-respect. Isn’t that what she really wants? The thought has never crossed the feminist mind?

Has he invited her for Christmas dinner? Good questions. Ask them, letter writer. September 14, 2020 at 6:37 AM Giordano Bruno said...

Giordano Bruno...well, in the original, Faust gets to have sex not only with his great object of desire (Gretchen) but also, via some form to time travel, with Helen of Troy.

The last third of the river parallels the border with the Netherlands. You will see many half-timbered buildings and many red-tiled roofed villages, typical of Central Germany. Tour Overview: June 2008. This is a six-day ride in the northwest corner of Germany along the Ems River. The distance is 258 miles or 415 kilometers. The tour is flat except for a few gently rolling hills between Telgte and Rheine. There are, however, numerous stretches of gravel or dirt path but over 50% of the way is paved bicycle path. Only rarely will you need to share the road with cars unless you have narrow tires and want to avoid the well-packed gravel paths. The whole ride takes us only 6 days including a short day on day 1 and an even shorter ride on day 6. Signage: Signage varies along the route. Normally you will find signs similar to the photograph on the left (the Ems logo is the forward 'E' and the reverse 'E' shown below the red bicycle graphic. This logo is also depicted on numbered posts frequently. However, if there are no Ems path signs, we sometimes follow the red signs. Red signs are not Ems bike path signs but they are an indication that all bicycles should travel in that direction. Rarely, is it the wrong way, but it can happen because these signs are not path specific. On the lower right are signs for routes to cities and towns. They too are for bicycles and they are not path specific either. However, if you know from your guidebook that you must go to this town or city, then follow that sign and you will be on low traffic or designated bicycle paths and headed in the correct direction. Accommodations: We had no trouble finding overnight accommodations. There are plenty of hotels, Pensionen and a few Privat Zimmer with their “Zimmer Frei” signs displayed. A Zimmer is both singular and plural for the English word “room.” Frei simply means vacant. The only possible confusion for non-German speaking cyclists is when the sign Zimmer Frei has a sign next to it saying Besetzt. That means the room is now rented or otherwise not available. How Orwellian is that, “Free but busy.” For a full discussion on this subject refer to our Overnight Accommodations page. Stops: We did sightseeing in the following cities and towns: Paderborn, Rietberg, Telgte, Rheine, Lingen, Meppen, Leer, and Emden. Maps and Guidebooks: We used the bikeline Ems-Radweg Von der Quelle nach Emden mit Dortmund-Ems-Kanal Radtourenbuch und Karte, scale 1:75,000. Back to the top Day 1: Paderborn - Rietberg Day Overview: Today is short and the path is flat. Short because we took the train to Paderborn in the morning. Of course, the path is flat because there are no hills. Mile 0 (0.0 km): We start at the Bahnhof in Paderborn. Paderborn means spring of the Pader River. Paderborn is a cool little city worthy of some sightseeing if you have time. The Cathedral is from the 13th Century and it is a “Hall Church” an unusual design for churches in Europe. Just below the Cathedral is the spring from whence the city’s name is derived. The spring is the source of the Pader River. Mile 1.4 (2.2 km): The Pader, on which I did a tongue-in-cheek tour travelogue a couple years ago, is a beautiful little river, commencing near the Paderborn Cathedral and flowing only 4 kilometers before its confluence with the Lippe River. It is a lovely bike ride mostly through a verdant park and along an idyllic lake where wild ducks and swans raise their families. Follow the signs to Hövelhof as shown on the photograph on the left. Paderborn has an excellent website for bicycling in and around the city. If you stay in Paderborn, you may find some useful information at: http://www.paderborn.de/freizeit/radfahren.php. In researching the Pader Spring, I discovered that Charlemagne (Karl der Grosse in German) once had a summer palace at the springs. In 799CE, Charlemagne met there with Pope Leo III to plan his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor, an attempt by the Pope to usurp power from Constantinople and reinvigorate the Church’s influence over the western world. Of course, at the same time, the Pope would be making Rome the center of power instead of Constantinople. Keep in mind that Charlemagne as King of the Franks already had a huge empire and was in the process of enlarging it anyway. Historians argue that Leo III duped Charlemagne and the King did not fully understand the Pope’s connivance. Sorry for the digression, history fascinates me especially when I have been to the places where some of it occurred. Mile 5.5 (3.4 km): We are at the lake I mentioned. We have been here in the sunshine but today, “not so much.” It is raining and we ducked under this shelter for half an hour in hopes of staying dry. The rain shower makes us discuss stopping in Hovelhof instead of putting in some decent mileage today. Fortunately, the shower passes quickly and we are glad to keep pedaling on down the path. Mile 4.7 (7.5 km): In the community of Schloss Neuhaus, we pass the Schloss Binsel. The Pader flows into the Lippe River next to the Schloss. We have a travelogue about riding along the Lippe but we call it the Roman Route [add link]. Mile 13.0 (21.0 km): We stopped for our lunch at the park in the center of Hövelhof. Mile 28.0 (45.1 km): We find a path condition that reinforces our recommendation for wide bicycle tires. These dirt, single-track, paths are rare but we have encountered many such paths in the 20,000 some kilometers that we have bicycled through Germany. Mile 31.1 (50.0 km): As we ride into the center of Rietberg, we pass a small chapel called Johanneskappele, it is opposite the Schlossstraße along Delbrücker Straße. By the way, the Schloss is at the end of Schlossstraße but it is closed and I understand that much of it has been demolished; only the Johanneskappele remains. Rietberg is one of those unexpected bonuses we frequently stumble upon during our rides. It is a glorious little city with a picturesque town center. There are many half-timbered buildings. We discovered an art studio where the artist produced metal sculptures that were a hodgepodge of miscellaneous scrap metal parts, welded together to closely resemble people, animals, etc. Rietberg was mentioned in the chronicles around 1100 but archeologists know that this community has been occupied intermittently if not constantly since 6000 BCE. Interestingly enough, for those of you who have knowledge of German, there is no Berg (mountain) here, but there is (or was) a Burg (castle). At some point in time, the name was corrupted as the language changed in the Middle Ages but no one ever corrected it. According to Wikipedia, the name used to be Rietbike, which meant ‘reed creek’ in the old tongue of the area. We spend the night at the Kolpinghaus. Kolpinghaus Rietberg, Mastholter 2, Telephone (05244) 974887 33397 Rietberg. A two-bed room with a WC in the room cost €60/night for two people. Day 2: Rietberg - Telgte Day Overview: Again, the path is almost completely flat but there are several stretches of gravel and one paved road that is patched over old patches that are patched over even older patches. The result is that it is actually rougher than potholed gravel. Oh, well. Mile 0 (0.0 km): We start the cyclometer at the Kolpinghaus Pension where we spent the night. The Pension on the bike path and near the center of Rietberg. Mile 7.0 (11.2 km): We ride into Wiedenbrück. Rheda-Wiedenbrück is another interesting and picturesque place to stop and enjoy half-timbered architecture. There are life-sized and nearly life-like sculptures of people scattered all over the center of town. In the town square, the sculptures are in a dancing pose. As I take in the whole picture, I find it almost hard to distinguish the sculptures from the tourists. There is a Cistercian cloister in Wiedenbrück and we even found some of the sculptures, representing acolytes and members of the order on the lawn in front of the cloister building. In the 19th Century, Rheda and Wiedenbrück were distinct neighboring communities. Rheda (established 1088CE) was on a rail line, had a Bahnhof, and consequently grew faster, enveloping the older Wiedenbrück (established 955). The construction of St Aegidius Church commenced in 755. Leaving Wiedenbrück, we ride through a former Bundesgartenschauplatz, or the site of a former national garden exposition and turned into a city park after the exposition. The path is mostly paved and it meanders through a large park with interesting plantings of grasses, shrubs, trees, and flowers. They call it the Ems Aue, or a place where the river spreads out into a delta-like configuration due to very flat land. Mile 9.4 (15.2 km): This is downtown Rheda. Mile 19.7 (31.7 km): Here are photographs of the former Abteikirche (Abbott Church) and the grounds of the former cloister and now the Hotel Klosterpforte in Marienfeld. Mile 33.6 (54.1 km): We ride past ein Hügelgrab or a grave hill without stopping. To get there turn right on the road about midway between crossing an irrigation canal and the community of Steckelmann. Mile 38.5 (61.9 km): This is Warendorf. We see paper-mâché horses sprinkled throughout the downtown area. We have seen this type of public art in other towns. I believe it is in preparation for a fest and the horses serve not only to advertise the event but also as a competition between local artists and businesses who pay for the right to decorate a horse. The money goes toward the cost of the fest or to a charity. Mile 51.9 (83.5 km): This is Telgte. Today, Telgte remains a pilgrimage city and thousands of Catholic Pilgrims visit it yearly. It is the site of the Pulitzer-Prize winning fictional work, “Meeting at Telgte, by Günter Grass. It is also the site of one of the largest annual horse shows in Europe. We stop for the night at Altes Gasthaus Pohlmeier Bracht, owned by Jutta Bracht. The address is Steinstrasse 30, 48291 Telgte, Telephone 02504/4560 Cell Phone 01725/318309. Back to the top Day 3: Telgte to Rheine Day Overview: Today we encounter more gravel path than the last two days. We also encounter gently rolling terrain as we traverse through Germany’s horse country. Many of the farms have white fences surrounding horse paddocks and sport large, well-kept barns and homes. The villages are idyllic with their red-roof-tiled, half-timbered buildings. The signage is not as frequent and the signs look like the photograph. Mile 19.4 (31.2 km): The bike path touches the edge of Graven and we go into town in search of supplies for a picnic lunch. Mile 22.1 (35.5 km): We stop for lunch in the middle of a pine forest. We are riding over small hills here and from a roadside marker, we learn that these hills used to be sand dunes that drifted, as dunes do in a desert, until the locals planted these trees to stop the drifting sand that caused the dunes to move. Mile 33.6 (54.0 km): I took this picture of an interesting footbridge along the bike path. My dear wife posed for the picture to the exclusion of watching for the ever-present post that is always placed in the center of the path to prevent motorized vehicles from using the bridge. Her injuries were minor involving a little road rash and some damage to her brand new bicycle. One Band-Aid to her elbow, I hammer her bike basket back into shape, and we are off again. (This has been the year to get to know posts. On the ride through the Hessian hills, I too ran into the same type of post. One must pay attention, don’tchaknow.) Mile 45.4 (73.1 km): This is the Rheine Bahnhof. Rheine, as are most of the places in this part of Germany, is very old. Occupied as early as the end of the great ice age, 100,000 ago, it was first mentioned in the chronicles in 838. It received its city rights (became established as an official town) in 1327. During the Thirty Years’ War, besieging Protestant forces from Hessen and Sweden destroyed the town in 1647 but citizens rebuilt during the peace that followed the end of that war in 1648. We stop at the Bahnhof to visit the tourist information office for information about overnight accommodations. This is a very busy place but we make a booking and pedal off following their map and directions. When we arrive at the Pension, we discover that contrary to expectations, there is no shower or toilet in the room. No wonder the price was right. We decline the room and pedal back to the Bahnhof tourist information office to obtain another recommendation. I do not know why, but the town is full of tourists and business people and accommodation pickings are slimmer than we are accustomed to. Mile 46.9 (75.5 km): We choose Hotel Mühlenhof even though we find hotels more expensive than our usual choice of a private room in a home or a Pension. The address is 48429 Rheine, Surenburgstresse 77, 05971/6389, Fax 05971/6869. The cost is €75 (not too bad for a hotel). Food was excellent but a little pricey. Day 4: Rheine to Haren Day Overview: Unlike yesterday, we do not encounter any hills today but we do encounter many gravel or sandy dirt path conditions. Nevertheless, the countryside is beautiful and we have a thoroughly enjoyable long ride. Mile 0 (0 km): Starting from the center of Rheine, we follow the Ems path signs toward Emsbüren. Mile 18.1 (29.1 km): Huff-puff! We climb up a very steep 30-foot hill and take a picture of a distant cooling tower for the Stahlwerk Lingen, presumably a nuclear power plant that provides massive amounts of power needed by the Lingen Steel Foundry. Mile 25.7 (41.4 km): We take a lunch break on the outskirts of Lingen, which is also a long established community. Founded in 975, Lingen changed hands from the Spanish, to the Dutch, to the Hapsburgs (Holy Roman Emperor Charles V), to the Prussians, to the French, to the Hannoverian Royal Family, and finally in 1866, back to Prussia. Prussia joined other states to become the Federal Republic of Germany in 1876. It appears that most of the changing of hands was done peacefully although the French (Napoleon) raised a bit of havoc rampaging through this part of Germany in the late 19th Century. Mile 31.8 (51.1 km): Past Biene (which means bee in German and I react funny to bees), we ride alongside a dike. Over the dike is a reservoir Speicherbecken Geeste but we do not see it until we are almost past it and decide to climb to the top of the dike and look. Mile 41.6 (67.0 km): This is the tiny church in Klein Hesepe. Cute! Mile 47.5 (76.4 km): Meppen. Mile 57.2 (92.1 km): We stop for an enjoyable night in Haren at Pension Luttermann, The address is An der Tenge 29 and the cost is €50 for a room for two people but it is a large room with two bedrooms and a kitchen. In the morning, the proprietor gave us a sack lunch for no charge. A very refreshing thing to do especially when compared to other Pensionen where they had signs posted saying not to take food with you. Day 5: Haren to Leer Day Overview: Today is flat again but we encounter several interesting towns and villages on the ride. Mile 0 (0 km): After starting my cyclometer in Haren at the Cathedral, we ride on a path alternating gravel and pavement as we follow either the Ems River or the Ems-Dortman Kanal very closely through what seems like a dozen small towns until we arrive at Aschendorf where I photographed the church. Mile 33.7 (54.2 km): This is Papenburg and it is so quaint that we are obliged to stop here for an ice cream break and photograph their Rathaus as well as some canal locked sailing ships place in what was obviously a once useful waterway but now used simply for the enjoyment of the locals and tourists like us. Just past Papenburg, we pass the Joseph Meyer Werft (a Warft is a shipyard in English). This enterprise has been in business since 1795 and today they manufacture huge cruise ships in their 370-meter long and 100-meter deep dry dock. Mile 50.7 (81.6 km): In downtown Leer, we checked in with the Tourist Information office and secured accommodations at Gästehaus Grothaer owned by Hinrich Kuhlmann. The address is Heisfelder Str 74, 26789 Leer Telephone 04953/8152. The website is: www.kuhlmann-ferienwohnung.deor email to: [email protected]. Herr Kuhlmann recommends some of the several nice restaurants in Leer and we chose Restaurant Waage in the harbor and ordered their Matjes herring, a seasonal specialty. Waage also offered labskaus, another local seasonal specialty that is a combination of herring, corned beef, and red beets served with mashed potatoes and a pickle – I think it is delicious. Maxa hates the stuff because of the red beets. Some people just do not know what is good. Day 6: Leer to Emden Day Overview: Today is a short ride to Emden where we catch a train back to Kassel. It is flat and paved. Mile 0 (0 km): There is no breakfast at Gästehaus Grothaer so we stopped at the first bakery on the bike path and had our breakfast. We are in the center of Leer. Mile 13.4 (21.6 km): This is the village of Ditzum. We catch a ferry across to Emden. This is a great little fishing village and since we got to the ferry 2 minutes to late, we have over 2 hours to investigate the town and take these pictures. When I have that much time, I take too many pictures. Here is a sampling. Our first picture is the "ride" of a fellow long-distance cyclist. The Ditzum windmill was a working grain mill. You can get a tour of the mill. Lastly, when you have to wait, why waste time drinking from your water bottle? The ferry ride takes about 20 minutes and costs €2.00 each including the bicycles. Mile 19.8 (31.8 km): We end the tour at the Emden Bahnhof. We did not look around Emden since we have been here before. Rather, we caught the first train headed south toward our home in Kassel.

- This weekend's UFC 190 was a giant success for the UFC, as it appears they have yet another monster pay-per-view on their hands, thanks in large part to Ronda Rousey. Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer said that he's seen the DirecTV numbers for the event, and they're huge.
"As far as North America goes, it probably beat every WrestleMania ever. Maybe, maybe not Austin-Rock (WM17), but I can't be sure." Meltzer said on today's edition of Wrestling Observer Radio. For the record, the domestic record for WrestleMania buys is 970,000 for WrestleMania 17.

NEW FREEDOM, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say there's been another case of upholstery tacks scattered on the Heritage Rail Trail that runs through parts of York and Baltimore counties.
The York Daily Record/Sunday News reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/2bcKsVG ) that about 100 tacks were found over the weekend.
It's the third time in six weeks they've been planted on the Pennsylvania portion of the recreational trail.
York County is offering a $500 reward for information about the crime and is increasing its ranger patrols. Investigators are asking neighbors, businesses and trail users to report anything suspicious.
Several bicyclists report that their tires have been damaged by the vandalism.
Last month, tacks were found on a portion of the trail in Maryland, the Torrey C. Brown Trail, formerly known as the Northern Central Railroad Trail. | positive |

Triclosan — the active ingredient in many antibacterial soaps, toothpastes and other cosmetics — contributes to the growth of potentially harmful bacteria in the human nose. According to a study by scientists at the University of Michigan, the presence of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria could make affected individuals more vulnerable to infection.
Triclosan has been added to hundreds of products since its first fabrication 40 years ago, from mouthwash to kitchen and bathroom cleaners. The study, which was published in the open-source biosciences journal mBio, found that the chemical is present in the nasal cavities of 41 percent of adults.
More than half of the patients who tested positive for triclosan also tested positive for S. aureus. The bacteria can cause lethal infections in surgical patients and people with compromised immune systems.
Furthermore, S. aureus that is exposed to triclosan during its growth is more able to adhere to the proteins in human cells, making it more infective. Rats exposed to triclosan in experiments were also found to be more susceptible to S. aureus infection.
Senior study author Blaise Boles, an assistant professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology at University of Michigan told the American Society for Microbiology that the dangers posed by triclosan are only beginning to be understood.
“It’s really common in hand soaps, toothpastes and mouthwashes but there’s no evidence it does a better job than regular soap,” said Boles. “This agent may have unintended consequences in our bodies. It could promote S. aureus nasal colonization, putting some people at increased risk for infection.”
Other studies have found that the chemical is acting as an environmental pollutant, turning up in patients’ urine, blood serum, semen and breast milk. In mammals, triclosan has been shown to disrupt the endocrine system and impair the performance of heart and skeletal muscles.
For years, health experts have raised concerns that the products are contributing to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. These and other health concerns, say scientists, merit a thorough re-examination of whether triclosan should be used at all.
“In light of the significant use of triclosan in consumer products and its widespread environmental contamination, our data combined with previous studies showing impacts of triclosan on the endocrine system and muscle function suggest that a reevaluation of triclosan in consumer products is urgently needed,” said the Michigan study.
In December of 2013, the Food and Drug Administration announced that due to “more recent scientific developments and changes in the use patterns of these products,” it is revising its 1994 declaration that triclosan is safe and non-toxic.
The agency announced that manufacturers who use triclosan in their products have one year to produce safety data and to prove that their products work better than products not containing the chemical. If the companies cannot produce the requested data, the products in question will be taken off the market.

Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani on Jan. 12 reacted to his appointment by President-elect Donald Trump as an informal cybersecurity adviser. (The Washington Post)
President-elect Donald Trump named former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani as an informal adviser on cybersecurity, according to the presidential transition office.
Giuliani, who heads a cybersecurity consulting firm Giuliani Partners, will serve as an adviser on finding solutions to cyber-incursions in the private sector and to advise the government on possible responses.
Giuliani, an early Trump supporter, was a top candidate for secretary of state in the Trump administration but was passed over for former ExxonMobil chief executive Rex Tillerson.
[Secretary-of-state candidate Rudy Giuliani withdraws his name from consideration]
“This is a rapidly evolving field both as to intrusions and solutions and it is critically important to get timely information from all sources,” the transition team said in a statement. “Mr. Giuliani was asked to initiate this process because of his long and very successful government career in law enforcement and his now sixteen years of work providing security solutions in the private sector.”
According to the transition, Trump will solicit “anecdotal information” from private-sector executives on the challenges and solutions to cybersecurity challenges.
“The attendees may or may not change from session to session, but the specific agenda subjects will likely change because of the rapidly evolving field of cyber security, and frequent developments, both positive and negative,” the transition added.
The participants will not necessarily be expected to produce a report on their findings or come to a consensus on the issues.
Trump is also likely to host meetings with business executives on hacking, data theft and information security, according to the transition.
Cybersecurity was a topic at Trump’s news conference Wednesday, with the president-elect acknowledging for the first time that Russia was responsible for hacking the Democratic National Committee during the presidential election campaign last year. Trump said that he had asked intelligence officials to do a “major report” on hacking within 90 days.

While studying for my VCP7-DTM exam, I found that there were definitely some core aspects that I had to wrap my head around. I notice that while studying if I hit a stumbling block, I really need to crack it in order to grow. With that in mind, I decided that I wanted to write about a few of those blocks that I ran into. This partially came out of me wanting to understand concepts better. The other, larger part, came from me being too lazy to write a study guide. So, let’s get this going!
WHAT COMPONENTS MAKE UP THE VCP7-DTM
When I first thought about taking the DTM exam, I was thinking Horizon View. Yeah … that’s only part of the exam. Going through the blueprint, you will see that there are other components involved. If you don’t have much hands-on experience with these components it can be a bit of a daunting task. My goal for this post is to breakdown what those other components are and what they do. Hopefully, once you understand that, you will get a better idea of how these pieces fit into the EUC solution that VMware has.
VMWARE HORIZON VIEW
This is the actual virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) portion. This is the software that is responsible for creating, managing, and providing access to virtual desktops. The following components make up the software suite itself:
Connection Server – As the name implies, this is the server that clients connect to. It is also the server that houses the admin interface for creating new desktop pools, assigning permissions, and other general administrative tasks.
– As the name implies, this is the server that clients connect to. It is also the server that houses the admin interface for creating new desktop pools, assigning permissions, and other general administrative tasks. Replica Server – Need more Connection Servers? That’s where the replica server comes in. If you are designing a Highly Available environment, or need Load Balancing, this can help out. During the install, you just need to select the Replica Server option and point it to your current Connection Server
– Need more Connection Servers? That’s where the replica server comes in. If you are designing a Highly Available environment, or need Load Balancing, this can help out. During the install, you just need to select the Replica Server option and point it to your current Connection Server View Composer – One of the big benefits of View is that it can spin up desktops when needed. But what good is a desktop if there are no customizations for your environment. Thing thinks likes AD settings, time zone, etc. View Composer is responsible for setting desktops up properly for your environment. One might say that it “composes” a desktop to meet your requirements. Note that you do not use the Composer Server for full or instant clones and it must be run on a Windows Server.

Security Server – This is basically a Connection Server that is designed to sit in a DMZ or external network. It can be paired to an internal server to allow for authentication. Needless to say, you will need to open some ports to allow various protocols through. Be sure to know the requirements.

Needless to say, you will need to open some ports to allow various protocols through. Be sure to know the requirements. Access Point – What’s better than dropping a Windows Server into your DMZ? How about not dropping a Windows Server into your DMZ. The intent of the Access point is to replace the Security Server. It is available as an OVA which runs on a pre-configured and locked-down Linux OS.

It is available as an OVA which runs on a pre-configured and locked-down Linux OS. Enrolment Server – Use this in conjunction with True SSO. If you are looking to use SSO, the enrolment server requests short-live certificates, which it passes along to the user. The certificates are used to authenticate against Active Directory, and are a means to give users access to their entitled resources. For a more in-depth overview, I highly recommend reading this post over on the VMware EUC blog.
SUPER SHORT SUMMARY
Connection Server – create & manage pools. Connects users to said pools
– create & manage pools. Connects users to said pools Replica Server – when one connection server isn’t enough, use replicas
– when one connection server isn’t enough, use replicas View Composer – need customizations for new desktops? This is what you are looking for.
– need customizations for new desktops? This is what you are looking for. Security Server – for when you need extra security to connect users to resources.

Hopefully, that is enough to get you going when it comes to understanding the various Horizon View components. I am aiming to do more of these posts in the future. The intent is to cover the various components that you’ll need to know for the exam. In addition to that, I am hoping to clear up what those components actually do.

RECENT headlines suggest that American technology firms are suffering from a backlash in China because of attempts in Washington to prosecute alleged Chinese cyberhackers. But one Western firm has found a way to make itself indispensable: by using its technology to tackle a big local problem.
This week IBM revealed that it has signed a ten-year research agreement with the government of Beijing to help the city’s fight against pollution. Chinese officials have promised to slash levels of PM2.5 (a harmful air pollutant) by a quarter by 2017. Under the accord, IBM’s researchers will harness the firm’s expertise in supercomputing, big-data analytics and weather forecasting to predict the levels of PM2.5 three days in advance. This will better enable the government to shut factories, restrict vehicles and alert citizens.

It is an ambitious effort, not least because Chinese authorities are hardly known for their willingness to share pollution data. In the past it was only pressure from the public and the American embassy, which tweets regular readings, that forced more openness.
There are a hundred or so reliable monitoring stations today in Beijing but more are needed. IBM plans to top up official data with more from weather satellites and sensors around the city. It is also open to crowdsourcing pollution readings. The firm’s China research team leads its global effort on social-media analytics. The question is how much openness Chinese officials will allow. | positive |

I am not a professional evolutionary biologist. I only know a few equations, very simple ones by comparison to what can be found in any textbook on evolutionary theory with math, and on one memorable occasion I used one incorrectly. For me to publish an article in a highly technical ev-bio journal would be as impossible as corporations evolving. And yet when I'm dealing with almost anyone who's not a professional evolutionary biologist...
It seems to me that there's a substantial advantage in knowing the drop-dead basic fundamental embarrassingly simple mathematics in as many different subjects as you can manage. Not, necessarily, the high-falutin' complicated damn math that appears in the latest journal articles. Not unless you plan to become a professional in the field. But for people who can read calculus, and sometimes just plain algebra, the drop-dead basic mathematics of a field may not take that long to learn. And it's likely to change your outlook on life more than the math-free popularizations or the highly technical math.
Not Jacobean matrices for frequency-dependent gene selection; just Haldane's calculation of time to fixation. Not quantum physics; just the wave equation for sound in air. Not the maximum entropy solution using Lagrange multipliers; just Bayes's Rule.
The Simple Math of Everything, written for people who are good at math, might not be all that weighty a volume. How long does it take to explain Bayes's Rule to someone who's good at math? Damn would I like to buy that book and send it back in time to my 16-year-old self. But there's no way I have time to write this book, so I'm tossing the idea out there.
Even in reading popular works on science, there is yet power. You don't want to end up like those poor souls in that recent interview (I couldn't Google) where a well-known scientist in field XYZ thinks the universe is 100 billion years old. But it seems to me that there's substantially more power in pushing until you encounter some basic math. Not complicated math, just basic math. F=ma is too simple, though. You should take the highest low-hanging fruit you can reach.
Yes, there are sciences whose soul is not in their math, yet which are nonetheless incredibly important and enlightening. Evolutionary psychology, for example. But even there, if you kept pushing until you encountered equations, you would be well-served by that heuristic, even if the equations didn't seem all that enlightening compared to the basic results.
I remember when I finally picked up and started reading through my copy of the Feynman Lectures on Physics, even though I couldn't think of any realistic excuse for how this was going to help my AI work, because I just got fed up with not knowing physics. And - you can guess how this story ends - it gave me a new way of looking at the world, which all my earlier reading in popular physics (including Feynman's QED) hadn't done. Did that help inspire my AI research? Hell yes. (Though it's a good thing I studied neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, Bayes, and physics in that order - physics alone would have been terrible inspiration for AI research.)
In academia (or so I am given to understand) there's a huge pressure to specialize, to push your understanding of one subject all the way out to the frontier of the latest journal articles, so that you can write your own journal articles and get tenure. Well, one may certainly have to learn the far math of one field, but why avoid the simple math of others? Is it too embarrassing to learn just a little math, and then stop? Is there an unwritten rule which says that once you start learning any math, you are obligated to finish it all? Could that be why the practice isn't more common?
I know that I'm much more embarrassed to know a few simple equations of physics, than I was to know only popular physics. It feels wronger to know a few simple equations of evolutionary biology than to know only qualitative evolutionary biology. Even mentioning how useful it's been seems wrong, as if I'm boasting about something that no one should boast about. It feels like I'm a dilettante - but how would I be diletting less if I hadn't studied even the simple math? | positive |
One of these days I’ll write a proper treatise on text game just so my name gets etched into the annals of history alongside Einstein, Copernicus and Shearer. My text game fucking rocks. But before that moment comes to pass let me just talk a little about the concept of ping texting. After taking a girl’s number its usual to send out a confirmation / feeler text. The idea is to initiate a text chat which will result in setting up a date. The basic pattern goes like this:
You: feeler Her: response, encourage You: acknowledge, stack Her: response, encourage You: acknowledge, seed date Her: response, encourage You: logistics time Her: accept You: logistics place, hoop Her: jump
That’s extremely vague so here’s an example. Bear in mind it’s your job to initiate and to move the conversation along until its natural to invite her on the date. You are leading in a particular direction. Don’t get hung up in endless chit-chat. The aim is to get a little playful momentum and proceed to the date invitation as soon as is natural.
You: So this is the crazy French girl with crazy big hair. Nice meeting you, hon 😉 Her: Hahaha, what’s so crazy about me??? You: Everything. I’m scared. My mum warned me about French girls. Her: She’s a smart lady!!!! Haha, be careful of us!! ))) You: I shall. I wonder if you are capable of drinking an English tea like an English lady. Hmmmmm Her: Hmmm I don’t know about that. I can try but usually I drink coffee. You: I guess we can try. Tuesday 6pm is good? Her: Yes, that’s good. Where? You: Piccadilly Circus. Dress cute, so we match 😉 Her: I’m always cute! ))))
This is assuming a Yes Girl giving full compliance which of course is only true for a small proportion of numbers. Realistically she’s going to throw at least one spanner in the works be it mild (unavailable first time, suggests alternative) or strong (shit tests). That’s where the craft comes into text game and one tool in your box is the ping text. I use it under the following circumstances:
The hook wasn’t very strong and her reply to my feeler was non-committal or tardy. I feel its too early to push towards a date and she hasn’t picked up on my thread. She replied very late, such as a few days after my ping We had momentum but then she dropped off and didn’t respond. She was too hard to pin down for a date either by declining the logistics or declining the date without giving a firm No.
So the ping text is a way of forcing yourself back into her mind without coming off needy and over-invested. Girls are creatures of the moment so if she’s got alot on and you aren’t a high priority then that number can go cold. So you ping her a statement about what you’re up to and you don’t ask a question. Just throw it out there. Examples:
“I just saw a man walk into a lamppost. I thought that only happened in comedy shows”
“Just saw a cat that walks like you… weird”
“I’m lying in my hammock, sipping Pims. I love summer!!”
“Don’t ever join a queue behind a group of Italian tourists. Jesus, what a fanny on!”
“There was a little girl sitting next to me throwing a tantrum. I gave her a stern look and she just stopped. I don’t know if I’m a good or bad guy now.”
“There’s a dog following me home from the shop. He’s really big and shaggy. Cute.”
If a number goes cold throw one of these out to see if she responds. If it’s still blank give her a week’s roll-off then try another. If that doesn’t get a response, she’s just not into you. | positive |

The starters couldn't sustain. After that, all was lost for the Miami Heat in what turned into a 111-105 loss Monday night to the Brooklyn Nets at AmericanAirlines Arena.
On a night the Nets went to the bench for a second-half revival, the Heat found themselves without viable alternatives of their own.
And, in the end, another home losses that raises questions about the Heat's ability to sustain.
"Every time we get a chance," forward Chris Bosh said, "we digress."
Actually, regress.
This time that happened over the course of these 48 minutes.
"We don't know how good this team is going to be yet," said guard Dwyane Wade, who exited with a bruised left hip that puts his status for Tuesday night's road game against the Memphis Grizzlies in doubt. "I know we've got a good team."
One that teases, like it did in building a 16-point lead early in the third period.
But also one that has managed to lose seven home games, several with similar blown leads.
"We're just not figuring how to win consistently enough together," Wade said.
"If we want to get a great team, then we'll put it together."
So even with Bosh producing his fifth consecutive 20-point game, with Hassan Whiteside offering a double-double and with Wade a can't-miss proposition early, the Heat found a way to lose to a team that had only won twice on the road entering the night.
"Obviously a disappointing game at home when we were in control," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We need to keep on working until we get to where we need to get to.
"We definitely had enough to win this game tonight. We were in control of this game."
With Wayne Ellington coming off Brooklyn's bench to make seven of nine 3-point attempts, and with former University of Miami point guard Shane Larkin delivering a burst of energy in the second half, the Nets basically did to the Heat what the Heat did a game earlier in bouncing back from a 15-point third-quarter deficit for a road win against the Orlando Magic.
"Same game," Wade said. But in reverse.
Nets storm back from 16 down in third period to stun Heat.
Bosh closed with 24 points and 12 rebounds, Whiteside with 18 and 11, and Wade with 24 points.
But it came on a night the Heat bench shot 5 of 26, including Gerald Green's 2 of 11, missing his final six shots.
"I think that second unit got some good looks," Spoelstra said. "There were some open, wide-open shots."
Ellington and center Brook Lopez each scored 26 for the Nets.
"With all due respect to the Nets," Bosh said, "there's no way we should blow a 15-, 16-point lead at the half.
"We had a chance to show killer instinct. We need to objectively look at everything."
The Heat began one last push when a Bosh 3-pointer drew them within 103-96.
Wade then missed a dunk off a Nets turnover but was fouled, the play on which he hurt his hip. He made only the first of the two free throws to draw the Heat within 103-97, but Bosh rebounded the second miss and was fouled. Bosh, though, then made only the second of those two free throws, leaving the Heat down 103-98 with 48.9 seconds to play.

After Larkin converted the second of two free throws, Wade dunked with 40.9 seconds left to draw the Heat within 104-100.
Again Larkin was sent to the line, this time with 38.4 seconds left. He this time made both free throws.
The Heat later closed within 109-105 on a Luol Deng 3-pointer, but by then only 9.3 seconds remained.
The Heat bench fell to 2 of 20 from the field early in the fourth quarter before Tyler Johnson scored on a driving layup to bring the Heat within 83-79, but the Nets again pushed their lead to double digits from there.
The Nets shook up their lineup at the start of the third period, inserting Larkin and Ellington in place of Jarrett Jack and Bojan Bogdanovic.
After their 14-point halftime deficit went to 16, they then stormed back within 71-70 after consecutive 3-pointers from Joe Johnson and Ellington. The Nets also added Thomas Robinson into that mix, after Robinson did not play in the first half.
Bosh briefly quelled what had been a 14-2 Nets run with a 3-pointer, but an Ellington 3-pointer later pushed the Nets to a 76-74 lead.
The Nets went into the fourth quarter up 78-77.
With Justise Winslow out and Tyler Johnson back, the Heat worked through a variety of rotations early.
With Josh McRoberts still out, the Heat turned to Amar'e Stoudemire for first-quarter minutes for the second game in a row, the first time he has appeared in consecutive games this season. Stoudemire later returned in a rotation role in the third period, closing 1 of 4 from the field in 14 minutes.
"I think he gave us some savvy," Spoelstra said. "He knows how to play." | positive |

Not to be confused with Canaanite languages
Knaanic (also called Canaanic, Leshon Knaan, Judaeo-Czech, Judeo-Slavic) is an extinct West Slavic Jewish language, formerly spoken in the lands of the Western Slavs, notably the Czech lands, but also the lands of modern Poland, Lusatia, and other Sorbian regions. It became extinct in the Late Middle Ages.
Etymology [ edit ]
The name comes from the land of Knaan, a geo-ethnological term denoting the Jewish populations living east of the Elbe River (as opposed to the Ashkenazi Jews, living to its west, or the Sephardi Jews of the Iberian Peninsula).[1] As such, the land is often translated as simply Slavonia or Slavic Europe.[2]
The term is derived from ancient Canaan (Hebrew: כנען "kəna'an").
History [ edit ]
The language became extinct some time in the Middle Ages, possibly because of the expansion of the Ashkenazi culture and its own Yiddish language, based on German. That hypothesis is often backed, but the large number of Yiddish loanwords of Slavic origin, many of which were no longer in use in Slavic languages themselves at the time of the Ashkenazi expansion. They are believed to come from Knaanic rather than from Czech, Sorbian or Polish. The linguist Paul Wexler has hypothesised that Knaanic is actually the direct predecessor of Yiddish and that the language later became Germanised.[3] In other words, the Knaanim, that is, the people speaking the Judaeo-Slavic languages, were the main cause of changes in Yiddish.[4] That view has been dismissed by nearly all mainstream academics, however, and contrasts with the more widely-accepted theories of Max Weinreich, who argued that Slavic loanwords were assimilated only after Yiddish had already been fully formed.[5][6]
Coinage [ edit ]
A possible early example of Knaanic is a 9th-century letter for a Jewish community of Ruthenia.[1] One of the very few commonly-accepted examples of Knaanic is inscriptions on bracteate coins issued under Mieszko the Old and Leszek the White, two Polish rulers of 12th and 13th century. The last evidence of usage of the language (written with the Hebrew script) comes from the 16th century.
The reason that Knaanic inscriptions, which use Hebrew letters, appear on coins minted for a Polish duke is that at the time, he leased some mints to Jews. The mint masters were responsible for collecting bullion and striking coins as well as periodically taking in and restriking existing coins.[7]
The inscriptions on the coins range widely. Some are Hebrew names, possibly those of the mintmasters. Some are the names of the towns in which the mint operated, for instance Kalisz, the burial place of Mieszko the Old. Some have the duke's name. One in the National Bank of Poland's numismatic collection bears the word bracha, Hebrew for blessing.[7]

From last December to this writing, the disease known to epidemiologists as H5N1 avian flu infected twenty-eight people in Vietnam, killing fourteen. On the scale of global catastrophe that may not sound like a lot. But World Health Organization officials worry that a worldwide outbreak could kill as many as seven million. Human populations have proved particularly susceptible to new flu pandemics every twenty to thirty years, as flu strains mutate and overcome built-up immunities. The most recent major flu pandemic petered out in 1972, so we may be overdue. Here are some noteworthy disease outbreaks through history.
1. Pneumonic plague. Since last December there have been some 300 suspected cases of—and at least sixty-one deaths from—pneumonic plague in eastern Congo. This is the largest plague outbreak since 1920, when more than 9,000 Manchurians succumbed.
2. Severe acute respiratory syndrome. SARS first appeared in China in November of 2002, and was soon recognized as a coronavirus that caused high fevers and fatal pneumonia. Over the course of the next eight months the disease infected more than 8,000 people and killed 774 in twenty-six countries.
3. West Nile virus. Although outbreaks of this mosquito-borne encephalitis were identified as early as 1937, in Uganda, West Nile didn't reach the United States until the summer of 1999, when it infected sixty-two people and killed seven in New York City. Since then more than 15,000 American cases—and more than 500 deaths—have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control. | positive |

An upbeat Hillary Clinton popped back into the political spotlight Friday with a three-minute address to Democrats, applauding them for being the 'resistance' against President Donald Trump.
She urged her party to 'keep fighting and keep the faith,' while adding, 'I'll be there right with you every step of the way.'
Clinton's message was released in conjunction with the Democrats' meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, where they'll decide new Democratic National Committee leadership tomorrow.
But Clinton's frequent forays back into the limelight suggest she could still write another political chapter post-2016.

HELLO DEMOCRATS! Hillary Clinton released a three minute message to her party, applauding their good work in being the 'resistance' against President Donald Trump
Hillary Clinton gleefully pointed out all the recent protests including the women's marches, the airport protests and the town hall takeovers going on during Congressional recess this week
She's called out the new president several times on Twitter, writing simply '3-0' when a unanimous court decision came down against Trump's travel ban.
She's chided members of Congress for skipping town halls, urged Trump to speak out against anti-Semitism and applauded Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., during her floor fight with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Today Clinton looked pleased as she recited some of the left's recent moves against the Republican occupying the White House.
'Hello Democrats!' she began. 'Thank you all for coming together to represent our party at its best – united, energized and ready to wage and win the battles ahead.'
She threw some shade at the Republicans by touting the multi-ethnic composition of her party.
'Now as Democrats we have diverse views and backgrounds, we are Democrats after all,' she said, before adding, 'But we're bound together by the values and hopes we share for our country.'
And touted her popular vote total, which was higher than Trump's.
'Nearly 66 million votes are fueling grassroots energy and activism and everywhere people are marching, protesting, tweeting, speaking out and working for an America that's hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted,' she said with great pleasure.
'From the Women's March, to airports where communities are welcoming immigrants, refugees and people of every faith, to town hall meetings where people are speaking up for healthcare, the environment, good jobs and all the other issues that deserve our passionate support,' she continued, naming the places where progressive activists have taken on Republicans and Trump as of late.
She used a new tagline, which she and the Democrats tweeted out too.
'Let resistance plus persistence equal progress for our party and our country,' she said.
Clinton's campaign motto had been 'Stronger Together' and she preached togetherness six times in the three minute spot.
Trump, too, sounded a lot like his 2016 self during his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference today.
He attacked Clinton for calling his supporters 'deplorables' and listened to the crowd chant 'Lock her up!' a cheer heard time and time again on the campaign trail.
But would Democrats really give Clinton a take three?
Democratic National Committee chair candidates were asked this question during Wednesday night's CNN debate, as they brought up several times throughout the night the fact Clinton had won the popular vote.
None of the candidates would say yes outright.
'I think the important thing that we remember as the Democratic Party is that we're here for small-D democracy,' said DNC chair candidate Sally Boynton Brown, who runs the state party in Idaho. 'If Hillary Clinton wants to put her name on the ballot again, that's her decision.'
'That's not our decision,' Boynton Brown added.
Another female candidate for chair, Jehmu Greene, said that the older generation, which included former Vice President Joe Biden too, should be looking to the next generation.
'Look for a question about Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, when there are 13,000 women who have signed up and said they want to run for office since the November elections,' Greene noted. 'That's who we should be talking about.'
Clinton, in her message, gave a hat tip to those up-and-coming Democrats too.
'Among those millions making their voices heard are future mayors, city and state officials, governors, members of Congress, even future presidents,' she noted, while thanking 'the outstanding bench of Democrats stepping up to lead us forward.'
Tomorrow, while there are a handful of next generation candidates, including Boynton Brown, Greene and Pete Buttigieg, the 35-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, the party looks to be tilting toward picking one of two well known candidates representing Clinton or the Sanders wings of the party.
There's Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the progressive Muslim candidate backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders or former President Obama's Labor Secretary Tom Perez, thought to moreso represent the Democratic establishment.
Clinton didn't wade into the race, though thanked the departing leaders, including the Obamas and the DNC's interim chair Donna Brazile.
'We as Democrats must move forward with courage, confidence and optimism. And stay focused on the elections we must win this year and next,' the former secretary of state said. | positive |
Graffiti on a house wall in Bratislava Slovak Republic : a sketch of a winking girl, a heart , and the word 'Ahoj'.
Ahoy () ( (help·info) ) is a signal word used to call to a ship or boat, stemming from the Middle English cry, 'Hoy!'.[1] The word had fallen into obsolescence before rising from obscurity as the sport of sailing rose in popularity. 'Ahoy' can also be used as a greeting, a warning, or a farewell.
The word can be found with similar pronunciation and writing in several other languages. In Indonesian, another greeting Ahiy is also used besides Ahoy. In Czech and Slovak also, ahoj is a common, colloquial greeting, while 'Hoi' is used in Modern Dutch and Swiss German, and ‘oi’ in Modern Portuguese, as an informal greeting equivalent to the English 'hi' or 'hey'. 'Ohøj' is used in Danish almost identically to the aforementioned usages. It stems from the sea-faring world, used as an interjection to catch the attention of other crew members, and as a general greeting. It can sometimes also be found on land spoken as a general greeting, again, especially in a maritime context.
Alexander Graham Bell originally suggested 'ahoy-hoy' be adopted as the standard greeting when answering a telephone, before 'hello' (suggested by Thomas Edison) became common.[2][3]
Early forms and development [ edit ]
Ahoy is a combination of the call 'hoy' plus the sound 'a', presumably added to draw more attention to the cry. 'Hoy!' was a common call in England to drive cattle. The earliest known example is from William Langland, in whose 1393 epic poem, Piers the Ploughman, the word first appears in Middle English: 'And holpen to erie þis half acre with 'hoy! troly! lolly!',[4] which roughly translates to "And helped to plow this half acre with 'hoy! troly! lolly!'".[5]
Seamen used the word "hoy" in the form of "hoay". The Scottish poet William Falconer, author of a nautical dictionary, wrote 1769: "If the master intends to give any order to the people in the main-top, he calls, Main-top, hoay! To which they answer, Holloa!",[6] Two other dictionaries from 1805 list Falconers call as "hoay" and answer "holloa".[7] "Ahoy" does not appear.
Functionally related with "hoy" is a group of similar sounding calls and greetings in the Germanic languages: Middle and Modern English "hey" and "hi", German, Dutch, Danish and Norwegian hei, in Sweden hej,[8] and the Dutch greeting hoi.[9]
In Old Russian "goy" was a standard greeting[citation needed] which is still present in Russian folk fairy tales.
In Czech and Slovak, 'Ahoj' ( pronounced [ˈaɦoj]) is a commonly used as an informal greeting, comparable to "Hello". It was borrowed from English[1] and became popular among people engaged in water sports. It gained wide currency by the 1930s.[1]
ahiu, â hui [ edit ]
Two discoveries in Middle High German literature reveal interjections similar to ahoi. Their forms show no links to the middle English form hoy and their meanings offer little connection to the call used to establish contact.
In around 1290 Heinrich von Freiberg used the form ahiu twice in his adaptation of Tristan as a greeting: "ahiu, Parmenois Tristan!", alongside "ahiu, wie schône sie het sich ûz gefêgetieret", English: "ahiu, how prettily she has dressed!". Ahiu has the same meaning as the interjections ahiv, ahiw and hiu, which occur in this text as well. As part of a group of words consisting of ahî, ay and ahei, which express pain, desire and admiration, ahiu can be found before exclamative or optative sentences and in emphatic greetings.
Between 1331 and 1341, in his work Kronike von Pruzinlant, Nikolaus von Jeroschin inserted the expression "â hui! sô wêr ich hôchgemût / sô ich ir stirne sêhe blôz". Ahui, together with aheia, ahi and ahu, belongs to a group of words that express incommensurable joy, esteem and similar positive attitudes.
Distribution and use [ edit ]
General information [ edit ]
Seamen had been using ahoy long before the first recorded use in print in well-known seafaring songs or Shanties. There is a lack of research into handwritten letters and records from seamen. Therefore, printed works concerning the use of the "Ahoy"-word family have only restricted significance regarding the temporal and geographical distribution.
"Ahoy" represents the original English form and its first maritime use was recorded in 1751 as a new word in nautical language. The first evidence for the German word "ahoi" is found in 1828. Ahoy is widely used in the Northern and Baltic Maritime World. It expresses semantically a change in distance or presupposes it. In most languages it can be used as an interjection, whilst in others it takes the form of a verb (e. g. English - "to ahoy", German - "ahoi sagen") [2] or a Noun (e. g. Swedish - "ohoj", German - "das Ahoi") It is not known how the word spread in harbour towns or on ships with an international crew, especially as similar sounding interjections in a neighbouring language may have either interfered with or promoted the adoption.
In spoken German both ways of addressing people work, so either the command or the addressee can come first, e. g. "'Pfeil, ahoi!" oder "Ahoi, Pfeil"!" although in written German there is no Comma between the two words.[5] In other languages this is variable.[6]
English [ edit ]
First examples [ edit ]
The exclamation "Ho! the house a hoy!", pronounced by a seaman in Tobias Smollet's The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle (1751), is the first example of the expression ahoy in the English language. One early example of the expression can be found in William Falconer's Dictionary of the Marine (1780): "The usual expression is, Hoa, the ship ahoay!". In the first edition of this dictionary (1769) the expression was still in its previous form hoay.
In the 1780s ahoy was already used on the stage in London to create a sea-faring atmosphere. In this way it reached a very wide audience. In the comedy The Walloons, brought to the stage in 1782 by the playwright Richard Cumberland, the expression was used to catch someone's attention: "Ahoy! you Bumboat, bring yourself this way". The work was published posthumously in 1813.
In another early documented source, as well, ahoy was similarly used to catch someone's attention. The expression ahoy was probably first heard in public in 1789 in the lyrics of a Sea Shanty, a worksong sung by able seamen, when the English composer Charles Dibdin (1745-1814) performed his musical The Oddities in London. This work also contains the song Ben Backstay, about a boatswain. The song goes: "And none as he so merrily / Could pipe all hands ahoy". The lyrics were not published until 1826.
Tobias Smollett used the expression a hoy for the first time in 1751, not yet in a maritime context
Richard Cumberland used the present form ahoy in 1782
Charles Dibdin inserted ahoy in a song of one of his musicals
Samuel Johnson used the word ahoy in his writings in 1824
Consolidation [ edit ]
In the 1799 edition of Samuel Johnson´s dictionary the word "ahoy" (pronounced ə´hɔi) is still missing, but in the 1824 edition it was said "to be almost as important as holla", supported by a quotation from Cumberland in 1813. The first entry in this popular reference book can be seen as an acceptance of "ahoy" into the English language. In the first half of the 19th century the word already began to find its way into many neighbouring languages. A speculation from 1835 about the origin of the French word oyez, which means "hört!" in German, implies an early philological engagement with the word. It had already appeared in a metaphorical context before, when in the American trade town of Philadelphia a preacher started to build a church for sailors in 1819. According to his memoirs, sailors used to greet him with "Ship ahoi" and to ask where he was going. The preacher used to answer back: "To the New Jerusalem harbour". We sail under the admiral Jesus, a good captain. We need men: "As the sailors said right before they were taken on: "Now we come in and listen to your conditions"
The variant "ohoy" [ edit ]
The variant ohoy was used early on as a synonym for ahoy. In one anecdote, printed in 1791, it appears as the ironic greeting of a captain to his boatman who is dressed up like a Romney Marsh Sheep when he entered the stage: "Ohoa, the boatswain, the Romney, Ohoy!" The "boatswain answered "Holloa" and disappeared. The Scottish poet Thomas Campbell published a satirical poem in 1821, in which a rider shouted: "Murderer, stop, ohoy, oh". In 1836 the Scottish novelist Allan Cunningham wrote: "Ohoy, Johnnie Martin! Ohoy, Tom Dempster! be busy my "merry lads, and take me on board ".
The form "ohoy" has been adopted by several Nordic languages.
Their dictionaries give the English ohoy as a single source word, usually before ahoy sometimes afterwards.
German, diffusion [ edit ]
Research [ edit ]
The term remained widely unknown to German readers until 1840s, since the translators of popular maritime literature of the time avoided it. 1843 saw the first German translation of the word å-hoj to "hiaho" from a Swedish novel.[10]
The earliest documentation of the term in German language appears not in non-fictional maritime texts but the nautical prose. In the beginning, the circumstances point to uncertainties regarding the usage of the word. Since the late 1820s, the words ahoy and ahoi marked with the coda -i, a feature demonstrating Germanization of ahoy, can be found in the German translation of English novels and fictions. Around the same time, the term was used by authors in original German texts on rare occasions. Ahoi became an established term around 1950 as it was used in the works of widely-read authors from the 1940s onward.[11]
The term rarely appeared in dictionaries in the 19th century. It is not included in the "Urduden" dictionary published in 1880. The Grimm brothers’ Dictionary of German (Deutsches Wörterbuch) did not recognize the word at the time; it did not appear in the first volume, published in 1852, with entries up to the keyword "allverein". The DWB’s second edition published in 1998, documents the earliest uses of the term as occurring in 1846 and 1848.[12] In addition, the original index cards for the dictionary, which are kept in the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, do not contain any earlier entries. The standard work "Etymologisches Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache" by Friedrich Kluge lists ahoi as a separate entry since the 1999 edition.[13]
The automatic search for appropriate keywords in digitalized books on the internet and in offline-databanks does only lead to a few useful results. German light fiction was printed so badly in the first half of the 19th century that even today good recognition software still produces a great number of errors, so that records are not found. Research in original catalogues is still necessary for a systematic search.[14]
Early evidence in translation [ edit ]
ahoy appeared for the first time in 1828 in German translations of The wordappeared for the first time in 1828 in German translations of James Fenimore Cooper 's novels
The earliest creditable use of the word ahoi dates back to 1828.[15] In 1827 the American story-teller James Fenimore Cooper published his pirate story The Red Rover. The following year der rothe Freibeuter was released in Frankfurt am Main. The translator Karl Meurer did not translate all of the words. The command "All hands make sail, ahoy!" was translated as "Alle zu Hauf! Die Segel hißt!", but later on in the novel ahoy was translated as aho, which could have been a moment of inattention. However, Meurer translated the phrase "All hands to mischief, ahoy!", as a signalled approval of amusement on board and so became "Alle zu Hauf! zu Possen, ahoi!". Meurer also translated the phrase "Good humour, ahoy!" with "Bei den Possen gehalten, ahoi!"
In 1830 Cooper used the word ahoy five times in a story whose title was the same as the name of the ship Water Witch (German "Wassernixe"). A translation by Gottfried Friedenberg was released in the same year and he chose ahoi four times. Friedenberg missed out the first occurrence of the word ahoy. It is possible that in 1830 the German word was relatively new. In later editions this mistake was corrected. Friedrich Knickerbocker, who published the second translation in 1831, overlooked or rewrote ahoy also incorrectly as "Holüber!"
The "Wer da", or "Who's there?", the phrase he introduced once was not new. In 1824 and 1827 the German editions of Cooper's story The Pilot were released, in which ahoi was translated with similar expressions, such as "Wer da!", "Wer da?", "heda" or "He! He!". Not until 1842 in der Lotse (English, the pilot) ahoy became the standard interjection due to Eduard Mauch's translation, however this contained four ahoys and one ahoi.
In 1835 and 1836 the anonymous translator of the two-volume story Trelawney's Abentheuer in Ostindien, which was published by sailor and later author Edward John Trelawny in 1832, who kept ahoy as a loanword.
In 1837 the novel Lykkens Yndling/Das Glückskind was released in Danish by the author Carl Bernhard, who had also translated it into German. Bernhard was the pseudonym of the Danish novelist Andreas Nikolai de Saint-Aubain. This is probably the earliest import from a Scandinavian language and gave us the phrase "Ahoi, en Sejler"" meaning "Ahoi, ein Segler!" (English - ahoy, sailor!).[16]
Early evidence in German source texts [ edit ]
The expression ahoy is documented in a German source text from 1829. In her short story Die Armenierin, the Saxon writer Charlotte Eleonore Wilhelmine von Gersdorff inserted this word several times in a specialist context, both as an invocation and to express encouragement. The author also worked as a translator from English.
The Austrian writer Charles Sealsfield first used the word ahoy in its original form. Sealsfield, who was also known by his real name Carl Anton Postl, lived temporarily in New Orleans, where he had many contacts with sailors. In his novel Morton oder die große Tour, which was published for the first time in Zürich in 1835, a big crowd of excited people in Piccadilly Circus in London is summoned with the exclamation "Gare! Gare! take care! Hallo ho! A hoy!". The same exclamation is still to be found in the following editions of 1844 and 1846. In the footnotes to a reprint, the word Gare was appropriately corrected to Care, but wrongly used in the text in all three editions. The English form is correctly given, in two words, which was very common at that time.
In Sealsfield's novel Pflanzerleben (Zürich, 1836), the word is used before uttering an order: "Ahoi! Ahoi! (...) Hört ihr nicht? die Pferde dem Herrn Grafen abnehmen.", that is "Ahoi! Ahoi! (...) Don't you hear? Take the Count's horses." An English translation of the book appeared in the United States in 1844, in which the word ahoi is kept in its German form. Also in his last novel, Süden und Norden (1843), Sealsfield again used the English spelling, in two words: "Sail a hoy – an ennemys sail!" The translation in a footnote to that page reads: "Kapitän, ein fremdes (feindliches) Segel."
In one of Ernst Willkomm stories from 1838, Jan, one of the characters in the story shouts "Ship Ahoy" as loud as a thunder from the cliffs of Heligoland. This was misprinted as "ship ahni" by the German newspaper Zeitung für die elegante Welt (English: A Newspaper For the Elegant World), in which Willkomm's Lootsenerzählungen (English: Pilot Stories) first appeared. The misspelling was corrected when the story was published in a book in 1842.With its meaning apparently unknown to the publisher, the word reappeared in the same German newspaper in a narrative called Johann Pol.An Image of life in the west indies by an anonymous author in 1838. The said narrative depicts sailors from all around the world chanting "Ahoi, oi" while loading the ship.
The 1844 Politik an einer Wirthstafel by Friedrich Giehne uses the words 'Waitress, Ahoy' in an expression addressed towards a waitress by a character. The story was published in a book which included mostly reissues of materials printed between 1836 and 1843. However, there was no mention of when the said story was first published or whether or not it was actually a reprint. What is interesting is that the word "ahoy" was used on and off the ship. One such example of an off sea usage can be found in Smollet's novel The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle in 1751 in which commodore Trunnion utters " Ho, the house, Ahoy!". It is likely however, that Giehne might have borrowed the term from Smollet as he could have read an 1840 translation of Smollet's work by Georg Nikolaus Bärmann from English to German.[17]
In 1844, The German author Heinrich Smidt used the term "Ahoy" in parts of a pre-print version of his novel titled Michael de Ruiter.Pictures of Holland's Marine which was published in 1846 in the Magazine for the Literature from Abroad of which he was the editor.[18] The term was also used in another one of his narratives in 1844 titled Hexen-Bootsmann. There is no trace of "ahoy" in the recently digitized versions of Smidt's works originally published between 1837 and 1842, however, the term has a continuous presence in all of his works since 1844 until his last novel which was published in 1866. Therefore, it is likely that Smidt added the word to his vocabulary sometime in 1843.[19]
Since 1844, Ahoi often appears in writings by the German sailor and writer Heinrich Smidt
Friedrich Gerstäcker was one of the most successful and popular German authors of adventure novels in the 19th century. As was the case with Smidt who started using Ahoy in 1844, Gerstäcker, who translated a lot from the English, also suddenly used the term in 1847. "Ahoi – ho – ahoi! meine braven Burschen" (English: "Ahoi – ho – ahoi! My well behaved fellows"), is what he writes in the Mississippi pictures. In 1848 the sentence: "Boot ahoi! schrie da plötzlich der gebundene Steuermann" (English: Ship ahoi! shouted the helmsman suddenly"), appeared in Gerstäcker’s novel Flusspiraten des Mississippi (English: The Mississippi River Pirates).
In 1848, Friedrich Gerstäcker popularized ahoi in his bestseller Die Flusspiraten des Mississippi (English:The Mississippi River Pirates)
The use of ahoi in German [ edit ]
Maritime context [ edit ]
For Wilhelm Heine, a world traveller, the cry was "common" in 1859.[20] But Heine was on a voyage with sailors from the United States, who were already using the common English form. For Germans in Livland on the Baltic Sea the use of ahoi was explained in a dictionary from 1864: " ahoi [...]. disyllabic, and with stress on the second syllable."[21] In the 19th century it was "all in all rather seldom" used in Germany.[22] About 1910 it was a "modern imitation"[23] of the English ahoy, which later became an uncommon cry.[24] In non-maritime fields ahoi is also used to say goodbye.[22] In literature, many writers used ahoi in a mostly maritime context:
The word created a maritime atmosphere in many songs which were composed after the period of the Tall ships, but without the traditional meaning of ahoi. In 1934 the song Wir lagen vor Madagaskar was composed with the first line of the chorus "Ahoi Kameraden". This can be seen as a sailors' song. The Pop song Schön ist die Liebe im Hafen with the final line of the chorus "Auch nicht mit Fürsten und Grafen / Tauschen wir Jungens, ahoi!" is based on a waltz, which was also composed in 1934. The Edelweiss Pirates probably adopted ahoi from Czech teenagers and used it as a greeting even after the group was banned in 1933.
Paul Heyse used ahoi in 1900 to challenge the elements
Friedrich Dürrenmatt deemed ahoi fit for a radio play in 1951
Günter Grass wrote ahoi ironically to caricature a landlubbing character in 1959
Hermann Kant used ahoi in 1972 as a parting phrase
Watersport [ edit ]
Albrecht Dürer's Narrenschiff (Ship of Fools) (1495). In carnival parades the crew of a ship of fools greets the audience with ahoy! (Ship of Fools) (1495). In carnival parades the crew of a ship of fools greets the audience with ahoy!
People who sail as a hobby adopted ahoi from those who sail as a living. From 1884 to 1887 the publication Ahoi! initially appeared as Zeitschrift für deutsche Segler (Magazine for German sailors), later as Zeitschrift für den Wassersport (Magazine for Watersport).[33] In 1892 the Berlin sailing club Ahoi was founded. There's evidence of ahoi as a "sailor's call" in the area of Lake Constance in the 1920s.[34] With the watersport's increasing popularity it came back into existence in the 1960s. Since then ahoi is also used as a formal greeting to officials on board, e.g. "Käptn ahoi!", or without an additional element. The use is considered by professionals unseamenlike and you should completely avoid the cry ("ahoi!"). Its use is severely marked down on board and can destroy the whole level of newly formed, hard-earned trust. This already dying word has been revamped by lyricists once more.[35] A rubber dinghy shipyard distributed from 1964 to 1992 their customer magazine Wiking ahoi (Viking ahoy).
Carnival [ edit ]
Ahoi, alongside helau and alaaf, is a word used to make a fool of somebody during the Carnival period. After sailors, stevedores and inland fishermen adopted the expression from the coast, it was made popular by the Carnival societies. During the parades, the crews of the Ships of fools greet the people on the roadside with Ahoi!, and they return the same greeting. It was also traditionally used in the former territory of the Palatinate, in Mannheim as "Monnem ahoi" or "Mannem ahoi!" and in Ludwigshafen, but also in bordering areas like northern Baden Altlußheim, as well as in southern Thuringian Wasungen, as "Woesinge ahoi!". The Carnival society Milka, foundend in 1908 in Upper Swabian Ravensburg, shouts the greeting "Milka - ahoi!". During the Backfischfest of the fishermen's guild in Worms, the greeting "ahoi" is employed as well. Also newer Carnival groups, for example one northern German association, and a new group in Cologne, refer to this call.
Military [ edit ]
In the German and Austrian Marines, before World War I, the boats which approached a warship lain at anchor were called using the expression "Boot ahoi!", in order to find out who was on board. The answers from the warships depended on the most senior person on board: "Standarte!" was the reply if the boat was approaching with a royal on board; "Flagge!" with an Admiral; "Ja, ja!" with an Officer and "Nein, nein!" without any official. It worked in a similar way with "boat ahoy" in the U.S. Navy, where the procedure was established for the first time in 1893, and in the Royal Navy. In the German Navy the greeting "Ahoi" is no longer used. In its place the Northern German term "Moin" is used.
Amongst the German warships between 1815 and 1945 only one motorboat of the Kriegsmarine was called Ahoi. It was adopted in 1940, so it probably already had that name, and it drove on the Kaiser-Wilhelm Canal. In June 1945 the former owner, J. Pieper & Co., took possession of it again. The catapult ship Bussard, on duty in 1942, was sold in 1947 as USA spoils of war to the Belgian shipping company Heygen in Ghent, and renamed Ahoy.
From 1940 to 1943 the Phänomen-Werke Gustav Hiller company manufactured 125cc motor scooters for the German Wehrmacht in Zittau, under the name Phänomen Ahoi.
"Nebel - ahoi!" is used by the ABC-Abwehrtruppe, a defence division of the Bundeswehr, and it belongs officially to the military tradition of the army. The expression originated among the Nebeltruppe, a Wehrmacht brigade group from 1935, whose job it was to create a chemical fog over a battlefield before destroying the target areas with mass fire. The expression originated in a moment of euphoria, after the fog successfully covered its target.
Candy [ edit ]
Ahoj is the name of a Sherbet brand developed in Stuttgart in 1925. Named after the term ahoi it has been advertised with the picture of a sailor and a flag since 1930. At this point there was a fashion for Sailor Suits for children.[36] In the USA term is used for the popular cookie brand Chips Ahoy! produced by Nabisco, a pun on the term "ships ahoy!".[37]
Cattle drive [ edit ]
In one particular case Åhoi is used as an instruction to the cattle to slow down. It was found before World War I in the Ore Mountains and it was used in the same way as eha and oha, ooha(a). It is possible that this is a combination of two interjections, as in Middle English, though eha might come from the typical Ore Mountain form eh "ein, inne", as ee halten "an-, ein-, innehalten". The new standard dictionary for this language area lacks an entry for åhoi, ahoi or oho. In a valley in the Slovenian Triglav area shepherds use the call Ohoi! to communicate over long distances, according to a report from 1838.
Dutch [ edit ]
Theories of Origin [ edit ]
If the origin of ahoi is rooted in Dutch, then hoy originates from hoie, which is the name of a sailorboat that today is known as a Hoie or Heude.[38] This common type of boat was used to transport passengers and cargo along the coast of the North Sea and across the English Channel. In a letter from 1495 "an Hoye of Dorderyght" from the Dutch trading town Dordrecht is mentioned. Then, two years later the term "an hoye of Andwarpe" appears in documents belonging the English King Henry VII. In his travel accounts from 1624 John Smith, who tended to exaggerate, counts an enormous number of sails in the region between Vlissingen and the Sea of IJsselin: "Holland and Zeeland hath twenty thousand saile of Ships and Hoies."[39]
However, there is a lack of direct evidence that links the origin of ahoi to the particle a and the noun hoie. In Dutch linguistics the call is thought to be an adaption from English. This is indicated by the amount of evidence found in English and the lack thereof in Dutch, as well as criticism of the idea that in the Early Modern Period a word could be formed from a simple expression for a ship.
The relation of ahoi and hoi, which is a common form of address in Dutch, is unclear. Hoi, which had been proven to be an exclamation of joy as early as 1552, could also be a short form of ahoi or ahoi could be an extension of hoi. Most likely hoi belongs to a group of calls such as hó and hé and is not closely related to ahoi at all.
Sources [ edit ]
Aho(o)i, ahoy and ehoi are rather uncommon in Dutch and are not included in numerous specialist dictionaries. This could be due to the prevalence of the similar and shorter exclamation hoi.
The sources for earlier uses of the term are lacking, because ahoi did not get its own lemma in the Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal (WNT), even though this comprehensive dictionary includes interjections. In addition later editions of the WNT from recent decades lack this entry. The earliest entries of forms of ahoi in the WNT can be found around 1900. The author Tine van Berken wrote "A-hoi! A-hoi! riep Beer onvermoeid, de hand trechters gewijze aan de mond", which roughly translates as "A-hoi! A-hoi! called Beer relentlessly...", in a book for girls that was published in 1897. In 1908 author George Frans Haspels wrote "met donderend ahoei", "with thundering ahoy", referring to the forces of a storm that hit the coast. Here the meaning was extended to refer to noise. If Haspel was alluding to the sound of the wind, the spelling ahoei, which is pronounced [a ˈhuːi], contains an onomatopoeic element.
In the 1950s ahoi was considered outdated. However, the expression was still generally known. Evidence for the use of ahoy in Friesian are lacking in comprehensive dictionaries of that language.
Ahoy in Rotterdam [ edit ]
Ahoy also refers to the short form of the Ahoy Rotterdam, a big conference center in the Netherlands. It originally consisted of only one hall that was used for the exhibition Rotterdam Ahoy! in the 1950s. The exhibition was held as part of the reconstruction of the city after the war and was originally called Ahoy’, the additional accent is intended to remind the reader of the exclamation mark in the name of the exhibition. In 1968 it was moved to the district of Charlois and developed into an extensive complex of buildings over the years.
Charlois is the place of origin of the Tamboer- en Trompetterkorps Ahoy, the Tambour- and Trumpetcorps Ahoy, founded in 1955. We do not know whether it was called this because the term ahoy expressed the sense of reconstruction in Rotterdam at the time and was already outdated in a maritime context.
The marching band first performed on the Koninginnedag (Queens' Day) in 1956 and became more popularly known because of their innovative formations, their previously uncommon antiphonal singing and faster marching music. In 1962 they won first prize at the Wereld Muziek Concours in Kerkrade and later played at the Sanremo Music Festival. The group split up in 2003 because of a lack of successors. The Show-Musikkorps Ahoy-Hamburg was founded in Hamburg in 1975.
Scandinavian languages [ edit ]
Forms [ edit ]
Scandinavian languages have adopted derivatives of the English form ahoy and ohoy in various different spellings. In Danish it is ahoj[40] and ohoj, also ohjø, aahøj oder ohej,[41] in Norwegian ohoi,[42] in Swedish ohoj and å-hoj.[43] In Icelandic ohoj can be combined with the English word ship; which takes the form Sjipp og hoj (Ship ahoy).[44] This is also used in Norwegian, as Skip ohoi.
Early evidence [ edit ]
In 1837 the Danish novelist Andreas Nikolai de Saint-Aubain, who published under the pseudonym Carl Bernhard, used the phrase "‚Ahoi, en Sejler!‘ raabte Matrosen fra Mærset".[45] In the same year Saint-Aubin's German translation "‚Ahoi, ein Segler!‘, rief der Matrose vom Mers", is an example of early evidence in the German-speaking world. The Swedish author Emilie Flygare-Carlén wrote in 1842: "Örnungen reddes till en ny färd på den klarnade böljan; manskabet skrek sitt muntra ‚å-hoj!‘"[46] The German translator of 1843 avoided the use of å-hoj and formulated it as such: "The young eagle was prepared for a new journey through the clear waves; the crew let out its cheerful shout of Hiaho."[47] In the English translation of 1844 it was however, "The crew of the young Eagle […] shouted their cheerful ahoys."[48] In 1846 Flygare-Carlén wrote "Båt, ohoj – hvarifrån, hvathän?", English "Ship, ahoy - where from, where to?"[49] But in English-Danish dictionaries from 1863, ahoy is given as "Hey! Holla!"[50] und "holla! heida!"[51]
Finnish [ edit ]
In Finnish, a language which does not belong to the Germanic Language Family, the interjection is derived from the Swedish ohoj and becomes ohoi. In a German-Finnish dictionary ahoi (German) is written as hoi (Finnish).[52] A translation from the English ahoy into the related language of Estonian is called ahoi.
Czech and Slovak [ edit ]

Theories of origin [ edit ]
In the landlocked Czechoslovakia, created from Bohemia, Moravia, part of Silesia and Slovakia in 1918 and then in 1992 split into two independent countries of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, ahoj (pronounced [aɦɔj], (help·info) ) is an everyday greeting. The following explanations [53] are the reason why ahoj is used in this part of Central Europe:
Czech sailors had brought it with them from Hamburg. The haulage company ČSPLO, in German Tschechoslowakische Elbe/Oder-Schifffahrt [54] operated in the lot of Moldauhafen in Hamburg. which had been leased to Czechoslovakia in 1929, as a hub for freighters, which included the barracks ship Praha .
operated in the lot of Moldauhafen in Hamburg. which had been leased to Czechoslovakia in 1929, as a hub for freighters, which included the barracks ship . When Czech sailors' shore leave ended at the Czech industrial harbours of Vltava and the upper part of Labe, as a way of saying goodbye, Czech prostitutes from bars in the harbour warned their customers of their occupational disease syphilis with the wordplay "A hoj! Kdo nehojil, tomu upad" - "And heal (hoj, pronounced ɦɔj, is an imperativ of the verb hojit - to heal, cure). So in English it means literally "Cure it, as whoever does not cure it, he will have his member fallen off." [ citation needed ]
Czechoslovak Merchant Navy sailors with their high sea ships had brought the word with them when they went home for summer.
After having travelled to America in the 18th century the evangelical Moravian Church, which originated in Bohemia and Moravia, passed on this nautical knowledge, even the shout, to those from their former homeland.[ citation needed ]
The international call which is sometimes accredited to a Bohemian sailor in the 17th century has since been proven to be wrong.[55]
nazdar, ahoj, čau [ edit ]
The spread of ahoj mainly dates back to the 1920s, when Czech adolescents and students populised canoeing on the South Moravian and Bohemian rivers. The canoers formed a type of movement called Wandervogel,[citation needed] some called themselves trampové, Tramps, or skauti, Scouts. As early as the 1930s Czech linguists believed the skauti as the carriers and distributors of the word ahoj.[56]
These groups formed a romantic opposition against the nationalistic Czech middle-class*. The Sokol movement with its preference for traditional gymnastics did not fit the adolenscent's spirit of optimism and progress, which cultivated an internationally and trendily* perceived sport with its own greeting. They positioned their form of ahoj from sailors, which possibly coming from the lower parts of Germany, against Sokol's nazdar, English for hail. Nazdar was used in general across the Czech and Czechoslovak society, but within a few decades, the modern-day ahoj replaced this old-fashioned expression.
Graffiti on a wall of a house in Bratislava, 1997
The Czech and Slovak ironic love of language contributed to the distribution of ahoj. In Slovakia ahoj-derivates are used in variety of different scenarios, such as the diminutive "ahojček", as a toast "ahojka", to a greater extent the plural-form "ahojte", as well as the grammatically correct we-form "ahojme sa".[57] In Czech as well as in Slovak ahoj is being slowly replaced by the modern-day form "čau", which comes from the Italian greeting ciao. This has been perceived to be the case since the Czechoslovak government allowed the Italian films to be shown in the 1960s.[58]
Usage in youth culture [ edit ]
The daily newspaper České slovo (English - Czech Word), which belongs to the publishing company Melantrich in Prague, called a humorous supplement Ahoj na neděli (English - Ahoy on Sunday), which appeared between 1933 and 1943. It was distributed on every Friday, "in order to provide the tramps in time with their weekend lecture."[59] From 1969 until 1997 the leisure supplement Ahoj na sobotu (English - Ahoy on Saturday) appeared in České slovo's successor Svobodné slovo (English - Free Word).
Ahoj is the official name of a district in Nové Mesto which is a part of the Slovak capital city Bratislava.[60] Adolescents met there before the Second World War, when the region was barely built.[61]
The car manufacturer Skoda called its prototype for a city car Škoda Ahoj! in 2001.[62]
Teasing usage in Theresienstadt [ edit ]
In Theresienstadt concentration camp Czech-speaking Jews called jokingly non-believing inmates, who had assimilated to the Czech society, Ahojista, (English - "ahoy-ers"). A Jewish, Czech, who had assimilated and posed opportunistically as a Zionist for the camp's Jewish administration centre, was called Šahojista, which was composed of the greetings Schalom and Ahoj.[63]
Acronyms
When Czechoslovakia, called the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, was occupied by Germany in the 1930s ahoj could be understood as an acronym for the watchword "Adolfa Hitlera oběsíme jistě", English - "We'll hang Adolf Hitler for sure." Under the communist government ahoj developed into an acronym in the Slovak part of the country. Since the struggle between the Church and the State from 1950 it was used as an acronym to console people in hardship Aj hriešnych ochraňuje ježiš, English Jesus also protects the sinners, or for the Latin ad honorem jesu, English For the glory of Jesus. Demonstratively catholic adolescents use it amongst themselves. Even priests used it to address the congregation from the pulpit.[citation needed]
Popular culture [ edit ]
A recent resurgence in the popularity of the term has resulted from its use by The Simpsons character Montgomery Burns, who often answers the telephone with the greeting of "Ahoy-hoy." The use of the now-defunct ahoy-hoy, instead of the standard "hello", is a running joke referring to Mr. Burns' very advanced age.[64]
Lyrics to "Solid Potato Salad" performed by the Ross Sisters in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Technicolor musical film "Broadway Rhythm" in 1944 include the words "Hoy hoy"
Czechoslovak cartoon character Mole also often used the greeting ahoj, popularizing it amongst children in Hungary, Poland, Russia, Belarus, East and West Germany, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Spain, China, Japan, and India from the 1960s to the early 2000s.[65]
In the TV series The Big Bang Theory season 5 episode 08, Sheldon answers the phone saying Ahoy after he explains to his roommate that Alexander Graham Bell proposed answering that way.
Australian radio duo Hamish and Andy use "ahoy" as the preferred telephonic greeting on their daily radio show. After learning of Alexander Graham Bell's wish for the word to be used over the phone, the pair implemented the policy on their show. Listeners are encouraged to greet the duo with "ahoy" when they ring the show.[66]

In a landmark case for media, a Thai court has dismissed a criminal defamation case filed against the Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS) and four media workers for airing a program on environment impacts of the gold mining industry.
On 16 November 2016, the Bangkok Criminal Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by Tungkam Co. Ltd against Thai PBS and four of its current and previous employees. Tungkam is a gold mining company operating in Wang Saphung District of the northeastern Loei Province.
The four Thai PBS employers are: Wirada Saelim; then-Director-General of Thai PBS, Korkhet Chantalertluk; Director of the News Department at Thai PBS, and Yothin Sitthibodeekul; Director of the Television and Radio Department at Thai PBS and Somchai Suwanbun.
Tungkam had accused Thai PBS of criminal defamation and violation of Article 14 and 16 of the Computer Crime Act, alleging that Thai PBS damaged the company’s reputation by reporting on environmental impacts potentially connected to the company’s copper-gold mine in Loei.
The company demanded 50 million Thai Baht (US$1.4 million) in compensation as well as the revocation of Thai PBS’s operating license for five years.
But the court dismissed the company’s argument that its mining operations have no environmental impact, and cited findings from the government that local waterways are indeed badly polluted. It ultimately ruled to dismiss the case in favour of Thai PBS.
Conflict between Tungkam and Thai PBS began in late 2015, when the company filed a lawsuit against Wanphen Khunna, a 15-year-old high school student from Si Songkhram School in the Wang Saphung District. The student had appeared on the Thai PBS program on gold mining and commented that local waterways were left heavily polluted from Tungkam’s mining operations.
The case against Wanphen was, however, dismissed by Loei Juvenile Court.
In the past several years, Tungkham has filed numerous cases against Wang Saphung community leaders who allege that its mining operations have caused serious environmental impacts in the area. Many of these cases are still ongoing. | positive |

As Water Use Restrictions Loom, We Look At The Costs And Benefits Of San Diego’s Path To Water Independence San Diego Water 5.31.22 Listen • 18:07 Water use restrictions start tomorrow, June 1, for millions of Southern Californians who rely on the California State Water Project as the state’s megadrought continues and water supplies dwindle. But one corner of Southern California has largely shielded itself from supply-related woes: San Diego County. Over the past three decades, San Diego County diversified its water supply, ramped up conservation, and invested in expensive water infrastructure, including a huge desalination plant. As a result, the water agency that serves utilities in the area says it can avoid cuts until at least 2045, even during dry periods. But San Diego County’s water is also among the most expensive in the country. It cost about 26% more at the wholesale level in 2021 than the Metropolitan Water District’s, which serves Los Angeles and surrounding counties. Today on Airtalk, as water cuts loom, guest host Kyle Stokes looks at the costs and benefits of San Diego’s path to water independence with Joshua Emerson Smith, senior environment reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune and Jeffrey Mount, a senior fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California’s Water Policy Center. With files from the Associated Press At Last, An Uptick In The U.S. Birth Rate After Years Of Decline, And Why It Matters Birth Rate Rises 5.31.22 Listen • 25:36 U.S. births bumped up last year, but the number of babies born was still lower than before the coronavirus pandemic. The 1% increase was a bit of a rebound from 2020, the first year of the pandemic, which witnessed the largest one-year drop in U.S. births in nearly 50 years. But there were still about 86,000 fewer births last year than in 2019, according to a government report released Tuesday. U.S. births had been declining for more than a decade before COVID-19 hit. Officials think last year’s uptick reflects births from pregnancies that had been put off during the uncertain early days of the pandemic. Deliveries were way down in January 2021, but improved as the year went on, said Brady Hamilton of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Much of the increase was seen in older moms. Today on Airtalk, we’re joined by Beth Jarosz, program director at the Population Reference Bureau, and Christine Percheski, associate professor of sociology at Northwestern University to discuss why the birth rate matters and how it impacts our economy and well-being.

Latest On Ukraine As European Union Bans Most Russian Oil Imports, Russian Forces Continue Push To Control The Donbas Region Ukraine Patricia 5.31.22 Listen • 16:13 In the most significant effort yet to punish Russia for its war in Ukraine, the European Union Monday agreed to ban the overwhelming majority of Russian oil imports. The vote followed tense negotiations; targeting the lucrative energy sector was seen as a last resort in Europe, since the bloc relies on Russia for 25% of its oil and 40% of its natural gas. Meanwhile, Russian forces have seized half of the eastern Ukrainian city of Sievierodonetsk, the mayor told the Associated Press Tuesday. The city is seen as key to Russia’s efforts to capture the industrial Donbas region. And three more nations – Estonia, Latvia, and Slovakia – have joined an international investigation team probing war crimes in Ukraine. Today on AirTalk, we’re joined by Patricia Schmorhun Hawrylyshyn, who lives in Ukraine. She’s currently in Switzerland raising funds for her foundation to help internally displaced people, and has been sharing her experience with us since the war began.

After the launch of their recent My Little Pony mobile game, toy company Hasbro could be facing a lawsuit from a Turkish developer who claims it's a clone of one of its own games.
The studio, Peak Games, claims that My Little Pony: Puzzle Party mobile game is a copy of its game Toy Blast, a title originally released in August 2015. Puzzle Party was developed internally by Hasbro's Backflip Studios and was launched earlier this month on Oct 13.
The Turkish developer seems to have noticed the similarities nearly immediately, and according to VentureBeat they've filed a lawsuit with the US District Court in San Francisco, accompanied by comparison images showing similarities between the two games' design, mechanics, text and mechanics.
"When the game was released last week" said Jennifer Kelly, the Fenwick & West partner that represents Peak Games, in a statement to Venture Beat. "it was immediately obvious to all of us that this was just a reskin of Toy Blast. This was only confirmed as we looked at the game more deeply in the subsequent days."
"Peak believes it is obligated to protect its teams' creativity and hard work, and to discourage others from taking the shortcut of cloning a leading game in the genre. Under this circumstance, we felt it necessary to take the step of filing this action, which Peak has never done before, and did not do lightly." | positive |
The new season of "RuPaul's Drag Race," which begins on January 30 on Logo, is "Gaga-esque," with the competing queens displaying themselves as "crunchy or monstery or moist," explains the drag icon and entertainer RuPaul himself. "They speak reality TV so fluently. They don't even have to be produced. They're ready to roll."
In an interview with SiriusXM OutQ and HuffPost Gay Voices, RuPaul talked all about the popular reality show in which drag queens face off, kicking off its fourth season, and he weighed in on other matters, including the the latest queer controversies, offering comments which are bound to have people talking.
Of the ABC sitcom, "Work It," in which two straight men dress in drag in order to get jobs and which has been criticized by gay and transgender activists for mocking transgender women, RuPaul implores the activists: "Don't take life so seriously... We live in a culture where everyone is offended by everything."
On Lance Bass's apology for using the word "tranny," Rupaul says: "It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!... I love the word "tranny"...And I hate the fact that he's apologized. I wish he would have said, 'F-you, you tranny jerk!'"
And RuPaul has some observations about presidential politics: "Politicians are really like show people, people in show business -- except that they have not as good costumes in politics. You have to appeal to the masses in show business. You appeal to Betty and Joe Beer Can. For someone like Obama to survive -- he's a very smart man -- he's had to do some dumb things because people don't want the truth. It's the same thing with drag."
Tell us about the new season.
This new season is interesting because it's so influenced by the Gaga-esque movement of today. And a lot of the kids are so not afraid to be sort of crunchy or monstery or moist -- or add other elements to their drag style. It's very interesting and also, they speak reality TV so fluently. They don't even have to be produced. They're ready to roll.

They are already being interviewed all over the place. They're stars in their own right already, now coming together to be superstars.
Well that's the thing that most people don't understand. We're looking for people who are showgirls, not just anyone who owns a pussycat wig and a pair of high heels. We're looking for people who actually have a background in doing a show, producing a show in advertising, in promotion, in art, have an aesthetic. So, it's not just anybody who does drag.
What's this been like for you? How did you foresee your career? Did you think you'd be doing a show like this?
It's interesting. I come from a family of teachers. And I knew that I had it in me to be a mentor and to have this show be a portal to helping people find their audience. It's been great. You know, this month it's 30 years since I've been working in nightclubs.
I remember -- the Pyramid club.
Yes, yes, yes! And that was actually ten years into my show biz career! The thing is, to have this part of my career really be legacy-based and being a mentor -- it's just brilliant. I'm the most proud of the fact that these kids have work to do. Because, you know, during the whole Bush administration drag had really fallen into the gutter and nobody really cared about it so much. Especially not just in the gay community, but overall. So we've been able to sort of resuscitate the interest in drag through this show.
You, of course, write books, you had your fifth studio album released last year. Talk about all of your other work and how you really juggle all of these things.
People ask me about my career and how I've been able to do this, and honestly, the biggest challenge, and I'm sure this is true for everyone, is staying interested in what it is you're doing. I happen to love beauty, I love to laugh, I love to dance, I love music. Those are the thing things that propel me forward and get me out of bed in the morning. So whether people are receptive to what I'm doing or not I'm going to do it because I dig it. And there have been many years where people haven't been receptive, they don't care. But you know what, in the wise words of Lil' Kim, "Ashes in the urn is none my concern."
You were up in New Hampshire. The primary was on Tuesday, and you were up there a couple of days before to set the record straight, so to speak, that you are not Ron Paul.
Exactly, [laughter] and that I am not running for president.
And you got picked up on all the major news outlets.
I'm sure the people who cover these political things, they need a little something different. It's always the same. I've been around for many elections. And ultimately, you've been around a long time, you realize everyone says the same thing. I tweeted the other day that political policies are like hemlines and hairstyles: They change with the trends. So it's hard to take any of it seriously. So I thought I'll go to New Hampshire and I'll lighten the mood up a little bit. And I think that's what we did. Ultimately it also was not a bad thing to bring attention to our show, which starts up January 30th on Logo [laughter].
I'm curious about your thoughts on President Obama and how he's put forth his polices over the past four years.
The interesting thing about politics is that politicians are really like show people, people in show business -- except they have not as good costumes in politics. You have to appeal to the masses in show business. You appeal to Betty and Joe Beer Can. And unfortunately a lot of what you really feel sometimes gets compromised because you want to appeal to the masses. And unfortunately in our culture -- you know, I'm gonna say it -- Betty and Joe Beer Can have gotten dumber. They have gotten dumber. And they they don't want to be in fear -- actually, they do want to be in fear. Really, they, actually, they love fear. You have to say things that won't throw ‘em off your scent too much.
It's a really weird time to be alive. For someone like Obama to survive -- he's a very smart man -- he's had to do some dumb things because people, people don't want the truth. It's the same thing with drag. You know, drag breaks the fourth wall and people have been up against drag because drag queens are saying, "You're not who you think you are. You're not who you appear to be on your driver's license or your birth certificate. You are actually -- you're actually God in drag." But nobody wants to break that fourth wall. Nobody wants to hear the truth like that. You have to dumb it down. And it's unfortunate because we all suffer when we dumb it down.
Speaking of drag, I'm curious about your thoughts about a controversy over this television show "Work It" that a lot of transgender activists feel mocks them. It's about two men, who dress in drag -- they're straight men -- it's kind of like "Bosom Buddies," back to that. They're trying to get jobs, and all the comedic schtick that goes with that. Do you feel that mocks transgender people?
You know, I gotta tell you, my 10th grade teacher, Mr. Penell, told me, he said, "Ru" -- my real name -- "Don't take life so seriously." I didn’t get it then at 15 years old, but trust me, as the years went on I got it. We live in a culture where everyone is offended by everything. Everybody's like, "Oh my god, I'm offended!" It's an ego-based culture we live in. The ego has everything to do with identity. So, you know, drag actually mocks identity. So it doesn't really make any sense. I think, in my world, in my circle of friends, we mock everything! [laughter]. Everything is up to be mocked. Don't take anything seriously.
And listen, if you're offended by a name that somebody calls you, or something, whatever, you gotta take that up with your therapist, kiddo, cause you know what, you're not going to be able -- now you got me riled up! You know, I live in the West Village, and everybody wants to make the world baby-safe, soften the corners, so that nobody gets hurt. It's like, kiddo, this world, there will be blood -- there will be blood -- so you better toughen up now or you’re going to suffer the consequences later.
It seems like -- or you tell me -- that there is a tension between some transgender activists and drag queens, that they don't really feel that drag has a place or see it as mocking and believe that it offends them. And I'm curious about your thoughts about that.
It's the same. Everybody's offended by something. And it really goes back to the ego -- egoic mind and the ego-based world that we live in, where everybody is, their identify is everything. And this is what drag is about -- you are not who you think are, you're born naked, and the rest is drag. It's all a facade -- you're much more than what you think you are. So this idea of people feeling they're not being represented -- I remember on [the '70s sitcom] "Good Times," when black activists got upset with the fact that J.J., the lead character, didn't represent what young black men in our culture -- in fact the two leads of the TV show quit the show because they felt J.J., the Jimmy Walker character, didn't represent. Well, the truth is, kids, this is a sitcom, this is a comedy -- sitcom. If you want representation, you do it yourself. It starts on a personal level. If you want to change the world, change your mind. Your mind. Not anyone else's mind. Your mind.
You are somebody who, speaking of representation, you're a black gay man, you're also a drag queen --
What?!
People look up to you, right? Do you feel you're role model for those groups?
I don't know -- that's up to them. What other people think of me is none of my business.
I do this because I'm on this planet trying to have as much fun, and do what interests me. And if I really thought about what other people thought of me I couldn't get out of bed in the morning. People think all kinds of things and they're gonna think all kinds of things. But I don't do it to be a role model. That's between -- that's people's, that's their business. I like to have fun, I love to laugh, I love to dance. And if somebody get's something out of it, I say "Right on, sister." But that's not what I'm here to do.
On this idea of how people identify, what they call themselves, a lot of controversy too, lately, over the word "tranny"--
Yes.
Lance Bass just apologized for using the word "tranny." What do you think of all that?
[Laughter] It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Words -- it goes back to grade school: Sticks and stones, you know the rest. The thing is you have to look at the ego, you have to follow the money, and the payoff. And the payoff is that the ego wants attention no matter what. It will try to get it wherever the hell it can, whether it's positive or negative. So you have to ignore it basically -- you have to starve it out. And unfortunately in our culture one person can write a letter to the network and they shut something down. It's unfortunate. But I love the word "tranny."
And no one has ever said the word "tranny" in a derogatory sense. In fact, you have to go to the intent of the person saying it. Of course Lance Bass, his intent would never be to be derogatory. Never. So, you know, that's really ridiculous. And I hate the fact that he's apologized. I wish he would have said, "F-you, you tranny jerk!"
It's something that a lot of activists feel though is used against them in a negative way. But, I mean, lesbians, a lot of them call themselves dyke too, right? So, you can call yourself these words.
Right, because they've earned the right to do it. And in the ACT UP age we called ourselves queers because we earned the right, we took the word back. But in reality, once you go even deeper, you know, you have to come from intent. And black folks call themselves the n-word all the time. It's because the intent is coming from a place of love. If the intent is coming from a place of hatred, that's different. But you can't legislate intent. You can't -- there's no way to do it. So, the truth is, you have to fix that individually on a one by one basis. If somebody calls you a green martian, would you be offended by it? No, you wouldn't be. Why? Because you know you're not a green martian. But if you're offended by someone calling you a "tranny," it was only because you believe you are a "tranny!" [laughter.] So then, the solution is: Change your mind about yourself being a "tranny."
You have, obviously, your hands full, Season 4 of "RuPaul's Drag Race." What else are you working on? What else can we look forward to?
Well, I'm still writing, I'm working on another book. And more music even though music doesn’t make any money -- I do it because I love doing it [laughter] And I'm also going to go out on tour for the first time in two years. I've been a nightclub performer for 30 years and because of the TV show I haven't had the opportunity to go out on the road. I'll be hitting discos and nightclubs around the world in this year.
Wow, so people can look forward to that, google it and look for you in a town or city near them.
Yes.
RuPaul this has been great, certainly, talking to you about the show but also your life. Congratulations and good luck with everything.
Don't you mean Condragulations?
Ah, there you go! "RuPaul's Drag Race," January 30. RuPaul, thank you so much.
Thank you baby.

22 JUN 3301
Federal Vigilantes Defy All Galactic Powers
A long standing Federation leaning vigilante group has announced today that it is declaring itself its own sovereign power, defying all of the great galactic powers in what members of the groups are calling a struggle between "politicians, slavers and warlords."
The Armada will instead be working to create its own system of governance, based upon its own particular rules of law. The Armada will remain headquartered in the Ngaliba system, where it has resided since 2900 as a Federal detachment of a classified inter-factional combat force. Post Commander Tyllerius Adle pulled his force out of the secretive organization in 3200, re-branding his group as "Adle's Armada” in the process.
In 3301 the Armada still shrouds its self in secrecy and only recruits the finest and cleanest of conscience combative pilots into its ranks.
The group has been known to spring up in times of need to defend the defenceless against forces that seek to to evil in the Galaxy. Adle's Armada will now be acting as its own power in the universe, with members of the group operating primarily in the Ngaliba, Mbukuravi and Kremainn systems.
GalNet reached out to members of Congress for comment, but at time of press had received no reply. | positive |

Also, this is the second draw in the entrepreneur immigration category of BC PNP. And the applicants needed a qualifying CRS score of 109. Applicants have been picked from the EI – Regional Pilot sub-stream. However, in comparison to the last March 22, 2022, BC PNP EI draw there is no change in the draw figures. But the CRS score requirement is lower by 8 points. With the latest trends at hand and new BC PNP draw patterns, we can expect the draw figures to go up. BC PNP’s EI category selects applicants who have the potential to run a business in BC. Under the EI there are two sub-streams the Regional Pilot and the Base Category. As per your eligibility, you can apply to any one of them. British Columbia holds periodic draws, and in one such EI draw if you match the CRS cut-off then you will get an ITA. An Invitation to Apply (ITA) is a formal invitation to submit a complete application with all supporting documents within 90 days. After you submit your application BC will process your application. If satisfactory, you will get a nomination certificate. Now with this nomination, you can apply to IRCC for permanent residency in Canada. Apply now the quick and correct way. Start by claiming your Free Assessment to check which Canadian immigration is the best for you. Second BC PNP draw targeting entrepreneurs issues less than 5 ITAs. But we can soon expect this to change in the upcoming draws. Canada needs skilled entrepreneurs who can grow the business sector of Canada. This is also the reason why Canada is promoting its Start-Up Visa Program. No matter the reason for moving to Canada. Contact Us and we will make your dream of settling in Canada come true.

We are still in the concept and prototype development stage with our game development partner Big Red Button. The intention is to invite players interested in being a part of shaping the game to join the community early. It’s a bit unconventional but we want this to truly be a community creation as much as possible.
That said, the game producers and developers (including Dr. Tyson and his team of science advisors) will make final decisions on what will or won’t be included in the game. We also realize there will be a lot of great ideas that may be impractical for us to do at the launch. We may implement some of the ideas as we expand the scope and scale of the game.
What’s most important is that our community knows their voices are being heard. We will do the best we can to facilitate this | positive |
Some gadgets look like they came straight out of a James Bond movie. One is a softball-sized camera that can be thrown into a suspect house and transmit images to soldiers outside. Another is a special door-buster that is connected to an M-16 and can blow open booby-trapped portals.
On February 18, the IDF Ground Forces Command put these weapon systems and others - most of them used during last month's Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip - on display in a military base in the South.
Called the Eyeball, the spherical camera was developed by the Tel Aviv-based company ODF Optronics. An advanced, audio-visual surveillance sensor, the Eyeball was used by IDF troops during the Gaza offensive to survey homes and suspicious areas before entering them.
Each unit is only slightly larger than a baseball and can be simply thrown into the area that needs to be checked out. It can also be mounted on a pole or lowered on a cable into a tunnel.
Another product from the same company is the Eyedrive, a lightweight, four-wheel, remote-controlled, observation and surveillance mini-robot that provides continuous, real-time 360º audio and video surveillance. Due to its durability, the robot can be thrown on the ground, go down stairs, flip over and keep on going.
The IDF also tested the HTR 2000, a new sniper rifle that will be distributed to all infantry battalions. It has a range of more than 1,000 meters and can be used with a special night-vision add-on scope. The adjustable heavy tactical rifle is made by H-S Precision INC in the United States.
Also used for the first time during the offensive was the Matador shoulder-launched anti-structure munition.
Used by infantry to destroy Hamas positions inside homes and other structures, the Matador incorporates an advanced tandem warhead concept that can be operated in two modes: against fortified positions and other structures, and to create a hole in a wall without destroying the inside of a home. The system was acquired by the IDF in light of the Second Lebanon War, when infantry forces had problems hitting Hizbullah positions inside homes in the absence of a tank or attack helicopter. The Ground Forces Command also put the IDF's new armored personnel carrier on display. The Namer (Tiger) is based on the same platform as the Merkava MK4 Battle Tank and has the same high-level of reinforced steel protection.
"The Ground Forces Command is more prepared today than it was in the past decade to deal with the threats and challenges in the North and the Gaza Strip," OC Ground Forces Command Maj.-Gen. Avi Mizrachi said.

Goodbye Flo. Hello Hildegard. | meta4RN meta4RN The online home of Paul McNamara: Nurse. Educator. Digital Citizen. Menu Skip to content Home About Contents Links Posts Goodbye Flo. Hello Hildegard. 2 Replies Let’s start with five brief facts: 1️⃣ 12 May = the day Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 = since 1974, the annually celebrated International Nurses Day. 2️⃣ As far as the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) is concerned, there is no such thing as a specialist mental health nurse [source + source]. In fact, as far as NMBA is concerned there are no specialist nurses at all: there are only nurses and midwives. 3️⃣ 5 May = International Day of the Midwife. 4️⃣ Mental Health Nursing is as different from General Nursing as Midwifery is, yet compared to our more glamorised colleagues, Mental Health Nurses are pretty-much invisible in the public imagination. 5️⃣ If Mental Health Nurses are thought of all in popular culture it’s nearly always through the lens of a fictional character from a 1962 novel, a 1975 movie, and a 2020 TV series, Nurse Mildred Ratched is to mental health nursing as Dr Hannibal Lector is to psychiatrists. Fortunately, life does not always imitate art, but neither of these characters are especially helpful for the image of professions that are often overlooked or maligned. Florence, 12th May (thanks, but I’m moving on – it’s not you, it’s me) As a Specialist Mental Health Nurse, I think it’s time to consciously decouple from the forced/faux annual relationship I have with Florence Nightingale every 12 May. The skillset and professional heritage of mental health/psychiatric nurses is not represented by dear old Flo. As Philippa Martyr (1999, p. 1) noted, “Unlike the romantic Nightingales of general nursing history, mental health nurses’ predecessors were gaolers.” I’m not suggesting for a moment that mental health/psychiatric nurses hitch our wagon to the culture of custodians, but I do suggest that we intentionally align ourselves to someone more attuned to our speciality than Florence Nightingale. Dymphna, 15th May (sorry, but you’re too fictional & Catholic) Previously, [here + here], and a bit tongue-in-cheek, I’ve floated the idea of mental health/psychiatric nurses celebrating our speciality every year to coincide with the Feast of Saint Dymphna. 💡 Upside: Dymphna’s story is a ripping yarn that has a mental health theme running through it, and it falls on 15 May (ie: nice and close to International Nurses Day and International Day of the Midwife). 💡 Downside: Dymphna is aligned to one religion in a world of over four thousand religions, plus a good many atheists and agnostics. Dymphna’s fictional story won’t resonate with the majority of the world’s mental health/psychiatric nurses. A Better Idea Instead, how about doing as our general nurse colleagues have done, and borrow the birthday of a pioneering nurse theorist to celebrate each year? Hildegard, 1st September (there goes my hero) Why don’t we celebrate 1 September – the birthday of Hildegard Peplau (1909-1999) – as International Mental Health/Psychiatric Nurse Day? 💡 Upside: Hildegard is pretty-much universally acknowledged as the founding theorist for psychiatric/mental health nurses. 💡 Downsides: 1️⃣ 1 September will not be able to leverage the momentum created in May each year by our general nurse and midwife colleagues. 2️⃣ Since 2019 UK Mental Health Nurses have celebrated 21 February each year as Mental Health Nurses Day. Would the British mental health nurses be happy to change the date to align with the world, or would they rather the world aligns with their randomly chosen date? 3️⃣ 19 March is ‘Certified Nurses Day’, which described as ‘a worldwide day of recognition that celebrates nursing specialty, subspecialty and advanced practice certification’ [source]. As far as I can tell it’s not acknowledged outside of the USA and Canada, but there is evidence that together with other specialist nurses (eg: Oncology, Critical Care), Specialist Psychiatric Nurses also celebrate that day [example]. Would the North American psychiatric nurses be happy to change the date to align with the world, or would they rather the world aligns with their existing catch-all-nursing-speciality-celebration date? 4️⃣ For all I know, other countries and cultures may already be celebrating their psychiatric/mental health nurses annually (apologies for my ignorance – this isn’t a thorough research project, and nothing else leaped out at me via a quick Google search). If so, would they be happy to change that date to align with the world, or would they rather the world aligns with their existing date? 5️⃣ I’m just a random nurse in a small regional city fart-arsing around on a blog page on a showery Sunday. It’s not for me to say what the world’s mental health/psychiatric nurses should do. For that to happen there would have to be consensus amongst leading agencies such as 💡 Horatio: European Psychiatric Nurses 💡 Te Ao Māramatanga New Zealand College of Mental Health Nurses 💡 Irish Institute of Mental Health Nursing 💡 American Psychiatric Nurses Association 💡 Mental Health Nurse Academics UK 💡 Singapore Nurses Association – Psychiatric Nurses Chapter 💡 International Association for Psychiatric Nurses 💡 Canadian Federation of Mental Health Nurses 💡 Australian College of Mental Health Nurses and, I guess, it would be sensible to get the International Council of Nurses on board too. In my experience, collectively mental health nurses can be a pretty bolshie lot. Is it possible that the leaders of the lead agencies above would [a] see the need for change?, and [b] agree on what that change should look like? I don’t know, but I’ll tag as many of the relevant organisations as I can find on social media, and maybe spark a bit of discussion on and around this year’s International Nurses Day. #agentprovocateur Flo was pretty out-there for her time/culture. Perhaps she would have enjoyed her legacy being hijacked for a debate like this. Hildegard was all about the relationship: you’d imagine she would appreciate her legacy being discussed in this conversation too. I hope so. I reckon she’s a good fit for the vacant mental health nurse hero gig. Reference Most cited references are included as in-text links. There was just one formal reference: Martyr, P.J. [Philippa], (1999), Setting the Standard: a history of the Australian and New Zealand College of Mental Health Nurses, Inc, ANZCMHN, Inc, Greenacres, SA. PDF of November 2007 reprint via Australian College of Mental Health Nurses, online: acmhn.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/History-of-the-ACMHN-Setting-the-Standard-1.pdf End Notes Thanks for reading this far. What are your thoughts? Do you think the work, culture and skillset of Specialist Mental Health Nurses is so different from their General Nurse colleagues that they deserve a specific annual day of acknowledgment and celebration? Reflecting my white, English-speaking background, I am certain to have missed many of the lead psychiatric/mental health nursing organisations around the world – especially those who aren’t readily googleable in English. Apologies in advance for my ignorance. Please help me correct omissions via the comments section below, and I’ll add them to the list above as soon as I get a chance. Hopefully it’s obvious that I’m an individual aiming to be a provocateur for discussion, am not representing any organisation(s), and am not aiming to become a dictator in control of the world’s mental health/psychiatric nurses. However, if there’s fabulous wealth and power to be had with the latter I would certainly give the job consideration. 🙂 Paul McNamara, 1 May 2022 Short URL meta4RN.com/NoFlo Sharing is Caring: Tweet Share on Tumblr WhatsApp Telegram Pocket Email Print Like this: Like Loading...

Hello Hildegard. ” Jean Mehrtens 01/05/2022 at 18:09 I did a presentation once called “Stranger in a Strange Land” about my personal experience of becoming a consultation liaison nurse in acute health. I “trained” in a large psychiatric hospital and always considered myself a psychiatric nurse. It was not well received by the younger audience who were tertiary educated. There are cultural differences, shared understandings, similar experiences that build different world views that are hard to articulate. I am all for a day for us; a different day to the non-psychiatric nurses. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply ↓ Dr. Debra Klages (@shutthedoorone) 02/05/2022 at 22:42 Dear Paul, I was privileged to attend a lecture from Hildegard Peplau in 1974 when I was in nursing school in Thunder Bay Ontario, Canada. She inspired me then and continues to be my role model this very day. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply ↓ Leave a Reply Cancel reply Enter your comment here...

Fun Times with Adam: Canadian Highlander WRITTEN BY Adam M
Hello everyone, and welcome back to Fun Times with Adam. This week we’ll be having a different kind of fun as I discuss a more competitive format called Canadian Highlander. If you watched the Community Super League you’re already familiar with the format, but if the concept is new to you an extensive overview of the rules can be found here.
Canadian Highlander is a singleton format that uses the vintage card base. However, instead of having a traditional ban list they use a point list that rates and informs how many powerful cards can be in your deck. The minimum deck size is 100 cards and for each 100 cards in your deck you are allowed 10 points of power, which means if you choose to build a 300 card Battle of Wits deck you will be allowed 30 points. As you take a look at the current point list, and see that cards like Jace, the Mind Sculptor aren’t included, you’ll quickly realize that this format is much more powerful than your kitchen table Commander. These decks are competitive and designed to kill one opponent as efficiently as possible. Despite that, I can assure you that it is the most fun I’ve had with a constructed format in a long time thanks to its high level of variance and richly diverse metagame.
Because this format is singleton and utilizes large deck sizes, the way your deck plays out from match to match will vary greatly, and this variance adds to both the challenge and fun of piloting a deck. For instance, even if you build a dedicated reanimator deck, you won’t be able to rely on always having Entomb and Reanimate to combo off. Instead you’ll have to build a deck that can function no matter what kind of hand you’re dealt, and you’ll have to play smart if you want to survive long enough to win.
The main reason I love this format is because of the diverse field of viable and fun decks you’ll find. Unlike Standard where you can expect to see several copies of the top three decks at every tournament, Canadian Highlander has several common archetypes that still leave plenty of room for innovation. Even if several players end up playing artifacts, it won’t feel like a modern tournament where all of your opponents net decked affinity and play their entire hand on turn one. This healthy meta means that all play styles, from complicated combo to goblin tribal, have a fighting chance to be powerful and enjoyable.
Before I built a deck, I started out by looking at the point list to see what cards were most exciting. When I saw that Mind Twist was only one point, I knew I was playing black, and quickly decided to pair it with red to keep my deck cheap and powerful. However as my list came together, I found myself torn in several directions.
I could focus heavily on black removal and disruption to win slowly, or I could throw an endless stream of one drops and burn spells at my opponents until they gave up. Eventually, I decided to build a deck based on the card Blightning that tried to do both, and the results have been absurdly fun. Sometimes, I win games off of a turn four Hero of Oxid Ridge or Hellrider on a board full of one drops. Other times, a turn one Carnophage gets in for 16 points of damage as I systematically pick apart my opponent's hand and destroy all of their creatures. Every game represents a new and fun challenge as I attempt to decipher my best path to victory based on my opening hand. Furthermore, each game is a nightmare for my opponents as they guess if their opening seven needs to be good against an aggro or control deck.
Here is my Black-Red Budget list that I lovingly call BRB because of its tendency to win quickly, giving me time to run out and grab a burrito before the next round. You can breathe easy knowing that when I call my deck budget, it’s because the 10 most expensive cards in my list, like Mox Jet, are written on a Swamp with a Sharpie.
Another thing I love about Canadian Highlander is that it’s a truly eternal format where the cost of entry doesn’t have to be over $1000. To make the game more affordable, the Canadian Highlander Council allows players to use gold-bordered cards in official tournaments dropping the price of a Tropical Island to around $40. However, if you’re like me and still can’t afford that, your local game store may have the answer.
When I talked to my LGS about hosting a Canadian Highlander tournament they were happy to allow players to proxy up to 10 cards, because it isn’t an officially-sanctioned WotC format. This means that new players can jump into the format without having to sell a kidney for a piece of power. This results in tournaments that are well-attended and tons of fun thanks to a diverse playing field of decks.
Canadian Highlander is great because it offers the power of Vintage in the atmosphere of FNM, and there is something to enjoy regardless of your skill level or wealth. To show you just how friendly this format can be to a budget deck builder, I am going to wrap this article up by going over five budget cards in my deck that over-perform in this overpowered format.
Mind Twist
Anytime you manage to cast this card off of fast mana it’s like playing against an opponent who kept all lands on a mulligan to four. It is currently rated as a one-point card and worth less than 300 puca points. If you’re playing black, consider including one of these.
Price of Progress
Speaking of lands, many Canadian Highlander decks spend a lot of money crafting the perfect Vintage mana base. Thanks to the Eternal Masters reprint of this card, you can one shot those decks for around 250 puca points.
Skullclamp
This card allows aggressive decks to beat board stales by exchanging useless creatures for accelerated draws. When you combine it with cards like Young Pyromancer it gets out of hand quickly, but it really goes off with Bloodsoaked Champion’s raid ability turning it into Divination on a stick. For 200 puca points, there is no reason not to have this card on your Wants list.
Gloom Surgeon
This bulk rare from Avacyn Restored is worth 33 puca points, and truly shines in Canadian Highlander. Exiling cards doesn’t hurt as much when you’re playing with 100 cards, and thanks to its combat invulnerability, you’ll see opponents using premium removal to get this hard to deal with card off the board.
Fire Covenant
Ice Age included some of the most powerful commons and uncommons in magic’s history, but this 30 puca point card managed to fly under the radar for several years. It is a one-sided sweeper that can turn the tides of a game in your favor for only three mana.
Adam Melfa is a casual player from Baltimore, MD, who loves limited and has a passion for finding new ways to enjoy the game. With the help of PucaTrade, he has slowly transformed his Magic collection into a more powerful cube. When he is not playing Magic, he is normally at heavy metal concerts, playing ultimate frisbee, or chopping wood. | positive |
By Richard Lardner, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The families of Sept. 11 victims are voicing their stern opposition to a proposed change to a new law that allows them to sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged backing of the attackers, invoking the support of President-elect Donald Trump for their cause.
In a statement late Wednesday, they said the adjustment proposed by two Republican senators would "effectively gut" the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (pdf).
But John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said their amendment is necessary to ensure that lawsuits can only be brought against countries that knowingly engaged in the financing or sponsorship of terrorism.
Congress handed Barack Obama the first veto override of his presidency in late September to overwhelming pass the law. Saudi Arabia, an important U.S. ally in the Middle East, fought to prevent the bill, known as JASTA, from being passed. The kingdom has hired a number of high-profile lobbying firms to work on its behalf.
Graham, who described the change as a "caveat" during remarks on the Senate floor, said he fears that without the change other countries could pass laws that hold the United States liable when civilians are killed or injured during a legitimate attack on a terrorist target.
"It protects the United States in its efforts to defend itself in a very dangerous world," Graham said. "We don't want to be sued under those circumstances." That's essentially the same reason Obama decided to veto the bill.
Terry Strada, national chair of 9/11 Families and Survivors United For Justice Against Terrorism, said Graham and McCain are seeking to "torpedo" the law by making changes demanded by Saudi Arabia's lobbyists.
"We have reviewed the language, and it is an absolute betrayal," Strada said. "The president-elect has made his support for JASTA crystal clear, and there is zero risk that he will support this kind of backroom backstabbing of the 9/11 families."
Trump had called Obama's veto of JASTA in September "shameful" said it would "go down as one of the low points of his presidency."
In their statement, the 9/11 families said the senators' change is far more than a caveat. They are proposing "to add a specific jurisdictional defense Saudi Arabia has been relying on for the last 13 years to avoid having to face the 9/11 families' evidence on the merits," according to the statement.
They also said JASTA's liability provision requires that the foreign state have "knowingly provided substantial assistance" to a designated terrorist organization in order for there to be liability.
Among the lobbying firms retained by Saudi Arabia is Squire Patton Boggs, which has a $100,000-a-month deal with the kingdom, according to registration documents filed with the U.S. Justice Department. Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and former Louisiana Sen. John Breaux are on the firm's team, which is providing the Saudi Royal Court with "legal and strategic policy advice and advocacy."
The Saudis haven't limited their lobbying to Congress, the records show. The Embassy of Saudi Arabia hired Qorvis MSL Group and Flywheel Government Solutions last month to educate governors and lieutenant governors "on the impacts and potential risks/threats that JASTA poses on their states' business and economic interests, members of the military and national security," according to the agreement.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate's No. 2 Republican and one of the main sponsors of JASTA, said Wednesday that he doubted there's time to change a bill that had so much support from Democrats and Republicans. Congress is scheduled to adjourn next week.
"Once Congress overwhelmingly overrides a president's veto, to me the opponents have a pretty steep hill to climb," Cornyn said.

A U.S. security official says there is a greater threat of terrorism coming from across the Canadian border than from Mexico. During his testimony to the U.S. Senate this week, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan Bersin expressed concern potential terrorists are exploiting Canadian immigration loopholes in order to gain entry into the U.S., saying “we have more cases where people who are suspected of alliances with terrorist organizations, or have had a terrorist suspicion in their background—we see more people crossing over from Canada than we have from Mexico.” In 2010, U.S. border officials arrested 450,000 migrants who crossed the Mexican border, and 7,500 people crossing from Canada. But Bersin said that despite the numbers, the more significant threat comes from Canada, where there are more people who are flagged as terrorist threats. But memos from the State Department released by Wikileaks on Wednesday show that some of the practices being used to flag terrorist threats are being called into question, such as the criteria used to place people on U.S. blacklists or the lack of cooperation between the two countries on “No Fly” lists.

Saying he was “frustrated” but little else, Rockets center Omer Asik said he was ready to move on after last week’s benching and the absence for several days that followed. He would not, however, saY if he would still like to move on from Houston.
“The thing is, I was just frustrated,” Asik said at Tuesday’s shootaround. “It’s behind me now. I’m just looking forward to help my team to win.”
Asik did not address his trade request or his unwillingness to play or practice last week.
When asked if he still wanted to be traded, Asik would not comment.
“I do not talk about that,” he said. “I never talk about that. My focus is just winning tonight’s game (against the Celtics) and helping my team as much as I can.”
Asik was replaced in the Rockets’ starting lineup last Wednesday in Philadelphia, playing just four first-half minutes that night. At the team’s daily meeting the next day, he said he was not ready to play that night against the Knicks. He was held out of that game and did not attend Saturday’s shootaround or game against the Nuggets in Houston. He returned to practice on Monday.
Asik would not say if he was “frustrated” with the lineup change, playing so little in Philadelphia or the diminished role whether coming off the bench or starting since the Rockets’ July acquisition of Dwight Howard.
“I really don’t want to talk about any specific things,” Asik said. “It’s behind me now. That’s all I can say.”
Howard said on Monday that Asik apologized to the team. Teammates had been speaking with Asik since Thursday’s meeting in New York.
“We put it behind us,” forward Chandler Parsons said. “He was frustrated. We all understood that. We all knew where he was coming from. He came to us like a man. We accepted his apology. We’re ready to play. He came out yesterday and practiced well. He was here at shootaround and seemed back to normal. I’ve never seen Omer act any different way. He’s a great dude. He’s a hard worker. He just has to continue to be that way.
“He’s not coming to us talking about how he doesn’t want to be here, nothing like that. I just think he was frustrated and got in over his head. It’s not like he’s walking in the locker room causing scenes.”
Asik said little about his apology to the team, saying he wanted to keep that inside the team and again shifting attention to the game against the Celtics.
“Of course we talk, but it’s inside of the team,” Asik said. “I’m not going to talk about what’s happened. It’s between me and everybody. I’m just be professional and do my job.”
“I’m not here just for two months,” Asik said. “I’ve been here for more than two years now. I’m just being now good, ready for tonight’s game.
“I just want to be on the court, playing. I’m not going to be anything else.” | positive |

Restaurants are getting busier and everyone’s calendars are starting to fill up with parties and events. This is the time of year that most people really start to think about doing a little “sprucing up” regarding their appearance. And there are many ways to go about it. Fall is a great time of year to do a chemical peel. The sun isn’t quite as hot and the weather has cooled to be much more comfortable. I recommend a medium depth, medical grade chemical peel about once per year as part of a good skin care regimen. “Cleaning up” the surface of the skin evens out tone, erases those dark spots from too much sun exposure and helps the skin care products you are using to do a better job. This type of peel takes a full 7 days to complete, with the most dramatic peeling and flaking on the third and fourth days. Wednesday is a great day to do a peel so that you can peel the most over the weekend! Smoothing out those wrinkles on the forehead or treating those pesky crow’s feet with Botox is another great option. Botox works in about 3 – 5 days and then the frown lines relax away after about a week. So if you are trying to get ready for a party or special occasion – be sure to give yourself at least a week. Of course, there are lots of other treatment options (including facial fillers, great skin care products, Latisse for longer eyelashes and surgical procedures for face, breast and body). As we enter the cooler season, it’s a great time to consider what you might like to do for yourself.

We're taking a break from our usual collection of advance album streams to bring you an exclusive: Impact Velocity, the debut album from Mitch Harris' new band, Menace. Best known as the guitarist of genre-defining grindcore band Napalm Death since 1990, Harris also takes on lead vocals and synthesizer duty in Menace, and brought along friends like drummer Derek Roddy ( Nile Hate Eternal ), bassists Shane Embury (Napalm Death) and Frédéric Leclercq ( Dragonforce ) to round out the lineup.A departure from the ruthless aggression of Napalm Death, Impact Velocity displays a strong affinity for melodic vocals and majestic synthesizers, but not without ample heaviness throughout. Listeners will detect hints of the ambitious sounds of progressive metal bands like Cynic and Between the Buried and Me on songs like "Drowning in Density" and "Multiple Clarity." Impact Velocity is out on March 18 in North America on Season of Mist.Menace has also released a video for the track "Painted Rust," featuring the work of sand artist Kseniya Simonova, the winner of Ukraine's Got Talent.Want to premiere a song or album on AllMusic?

Artificial intelligence—which simultaneously possesses the greatest potential for evolutionary change as well as the overwhelming possibility for world destruction—is a technology that is already be upon us. Defined as machines that are able to learn, plan, and problem solve—or, more basically, technology with the ability to work and react like a human would—AI is a daunting field of computer science that has been making waves in recent years. In popular culture, movies and the media often portray AI in a dark and dangerous light. However, experts believe that AI will actually positively augment the human race, though how exactly is still unknown. The question still remains: do the benefits of AI outweigh the dangers? And at this point in time, is AI completely inevitable?
While Hollywood has produced countless tales of AI-induced woe, the vast majority of these movies have proven to be poor predictors of how AI could potentially work, in strictly theoretical terms. In the 2014 film Transcendence, for example, main character Will’s consciousness is uploaded to a quantum computer in order to “save him” from death—an action which leads to “Will’s consciousness” gaining near full control of the digital world and ultimately wreaking havoc on the physical world due to his inherently amoral AI nature (similar films such as the South African flick Chappie also predict a comparable consciousness-uploading scenario). AI experts, however, argue that while uploading one’s consciousness is an interesting idea, it is purely speculative and has no basis in fact, and therefore such dreary prospects are unlikely.
Similarly—and perhaps most importantly—AI experts point out that a single lone programmer cannot accomplish the development of artificial intelligence in a short timespan all by herself, as so many films like Ex Machina and Chappie suggest. The path to artificial intelligence is and will continue to be a slow and incremental one, a fact that bodes well for a potential partnership between humans and AI.
While Google’s DeepMind technology—which is programmed to understand how to find structure in large data sets in order to essentially recognize patterns and “learn”—is probably the closest to true artificial intelligence available in today’s world, there are a plethora of pseudo-AI technologies, such as digital assistant technologies like Siri and Alexa as well as predictive technology in websites such as Amazon and Netflix that use AI to observe behavior patterns and predict consumer behavior, that are widely used in today’s world. The fact that these pseudo-AI technologies were integrated fairly seamlessly into society ultimately shows that with small, incremental steps, we can learn to use and adapt to artificial intelligence somewhat effortlessly.
In fact, many artificial intelligence researchers are largely optimistic about the future of human and AI relationships. While the exact mechanism behind the creation of AI is still mysterious, some researchers believe that AI will dramatically improve the lives of humans in the near future, as this technology will be able to do everything from taking over menial tasks to protecting humans from dangerous conditions and disasters, all the way to solving the world’s biggest social and environmental issues such as climate change or even world hunger. By using artificial intelligence as an application and tool it will be easier to prevent a robot uprising and maintain control over these technologies.
Elon Musk is a well-known proponent for the regulation of artificial intelligence , and often warns against its dangers on social media. Rather than simply advocating for the abolition of AI, though, he admits that adding a digital AI layer to humans may be the best way to prevent artificial intelligence from subjugating and/or harming the human race. Many other researchers agree that the best use of artificial intelligence would be the encouragement of a symbiotic relationship between artificial intelligence and human intelligence in addition to the use of AI to augment physical capabilities. For example, AI could be used to operate prosthetic limbs or even exoskeletons smartly and efficiently, and enhance natural abilities such as eyesight and hearing. Similarly, AI could be used to perform difficult and advanced maneuvers, such as surgery or other complex health-related tasks.
In terms of our brains, artificial intelligence would most likely be used to enhance intelligence, increase speed and access to data pools, and even download life skills. IBM—creator of the supercomputer Watson—suggests that the acronym AI should stand for “augmented intelligence” rather than “artificial intelligence,” as true AI will be used to augment human brainpower, rather than surpass it. By optimizing knowledge necessary in all areas—such as assisting doctors in understanding medical data, or helping students understand how to learn more effectively—AI will essentially be a smarter, extremely efficient search engine capable of providing unique information needed to every individual.
In the end, artificial intelligence possesses a plethora of opportunities that are more likely to spur humans into a future of unimaginable advancement, rather than the one-dimensional doom and gloom scenario that so much of pop culture appear to warn against. While there are real dangers associated with artificial intelligence—such as AI developing destructive methods for achieving a programmed goal, or AI being coded for destructive purposes—the nature of artificial intelligence in and of itself does not guarantee a dystopian future. With incremental steps, a symbiotic relationship between humans and artificial intelligence is entirely possible, and a new future of never-before-seen levels of superintelligence and insight can be brought into fruition.

Update: Voting is now closed for this round. Results will be posted on Facebook.
Welcome to the Elite Eight!
Voting will take place over Monday and Tuesday, with Final Four voting on Wednesday and Thursday, and the Championship next week. Please see below for a Sweet Sixteen recap.
The Sweet Sixteen had some great and very close match-ups. It unfortunately saw two beers from the same brewery going head-to-head in number one seed The Woodburn Cherry Chocolate Stout vs. number four seed The Woodburn Cedar IPA. The crowd favorite appears to be Cherry Chocolate Stout, as it advances with a score of 193 votes to 137.
Also advancing to the Elite Eight are Blank Slate Opera Cream, which eked its way by number four seed Taft’s Maverick Chocolate Porter in a tie-breaker (they tied at 240 votes apiece in the Sweet Sixteen, but Opera Cream holds 1,094 votes to Maverick Chocolate Porter’s 898); Brink Fashionably Late; two MadTree beers in Lift and Galaxy High; Fifty West Coffee Please; and two Listermann brews, Nutcase and Don’t Talk Sh!t About Norwood.
Thank you for your continued voting and participation. May the best beer(s) win!

Federal rules limit student loans so that borrowing does not become overly burdensome. For more information on terms and interest rates, please visit the Federal Student Aid website. Types of Loans William D. Ford Direct Subsidized Loan Program Click to Open Dependent students who demonstrate financial need and who are enrolled at least half-time (six credits or more), may qualify for a Subsidized Student Loan of up to $3,500 for the freshman year, $4,500 for the sophomore year, and $5,500 for junior and senior years. Independent students may borrow up to an additional $4,000 per year for the first and second years of undergraduate study and up to an additional $5,000 per year for subsequent undergraduate study through the Unsubsidized Direct Loan Program. William D. Ford Direct Unsubsidized Loan Program Click to Open Direct Unsubsidized Loans are non-need based. Interest begins to accrue at the time the loan is disbursed. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine student eligibility. Students may borrow up to $2,000 per academic year. Students whose parents are denied for the Parent PLUS loan are eligible for an additional $4,000 in Direct Unsubsidized Loan for the first and second years and $5,000 for the third and fourth years. Master Promissory Note (MPN) New borrowers must complete a Federal Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN). The MPN is a legal contract between you and your loan servicer that sets the terms and conditions and other details of your federal loan. A Master Promissory Note is signed only once for all subsequent direct loans. Entrance Counseling New borrowers at Washington College will need to complete Entrance Counseling. The purpose of entrance counseling is to ensure that you understand your rights and responsibilities as a new loan borrower and that you understand the regulations governing each loan program. Until you have completed this requirement, the funds will not disburse to your account. Exit Counseling As a borrower of a federal loan(s), you are required to complete Exit Counseling once you graduate, drop below part-time, or stop enrollment. Exit counseling covers all subjects that were covered in entrance counseling, with an emphasis on repayment strategies. Parent Plus Loan The Federal Direct PLUS Loan Program allows parents of undergraduate students to borrow up to the full cost of attendance minus other financial aid. Parents are required to file a FAFSA to be eligible for a Parent PLUS loan. All PLUS loan decisions are credit-based, and parents must re-apply for a PLUS loan each academic year. If the parent applies for a PLUS loan and it is denied by the Department of Education, the student is then eligible for an additional Unsubsidized Direct Loan. There are two ways to apply for the Parent PLUS loan: Apply on-line at the Federal Student Aid website. Submit a Washington College’s PLUS Loan Request Form found on our Forms and Resources webpage. Interest Rates for Direct Loans First Disbursed on or After July 1, 2021, and Before July 1, 2022 Loan Type Borrower Type Fixed Interest Rate Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans Undergraduate 4.99% Direct PLUS Loans Parents and Graduate or Professional Students 7.54% Most federal student loans have loan fees that are a percentage of the total loan amount. The loan fee is deducted proportionately from each loan disbursement you receive while enrolled in school. This means the money you receive will be less than the amount you actually borrow. You’re responsible for repaying the entire amount you borrowed and not just the amount you received. Loan fees for Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and Direct PLUS Loans first disbursed on or after Oct. 1, 2019. Loan Type First Disbursement Date Loan Fee Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans On or after 10/1/20 and before 10/1/21 1.057% On or after 10/1/19 and before 10/1/20 1.059% Direct PLUS Loans On or after 10/1/20 and before 10/1/21 4.228% On or after 10/1/19 and before 10/1/20 4.236% Loans disbursed after October 1, 2021 will have different loan fees. Alternative/Private Loan Alternative Loans (Private Education Loans) are offered through private lenders and are meant to provide additional educational funding. In most cases, it is advantageous for students to pursue Federal Direct Loans, and for parents to pursue a Federal Direct PLUS Loan, before seeking private educational loans. A major advantage of the federal loan programs is that the federal government caps the interest rates on the loans. Additionally, private student loans typically do not offer the same benefits as federal loans, such as consolidation, service cancellations and military repayment. Private loan borrowers will be required to complete Private Loan counseling about borrowing essentials. Loan funds will not be disbursed until counseling has been completed. Complete Private Loan Counseling by clicking on the Borrowing Essentials link here. Washington College does not partner with any lender. Any private loans displayed within our FastChoice Private Loan Counseling are random selections, based on a historical listing of lenders students at Washington College have used in the past 5 years. Students and families are encouraged to compare the terms and conditions of the various private loans before applying. The Office of Student Financial Aid staff would be happy to answer questions you may have related to alternative/private loans. Do You. Do it All. Do it Here.

Good agreement between experimental and theoretical results was obtained. Swimming properties of micromachines depend strongly on the operational environment, including the flow field and machine structure. We analyzed the effect of machine shape on swimming properties. The optimum design of the blade shape was obtained by simulation. Based on optimum design, the micromachine was fabricated by stereolithography. Machine swimming agreed well with results.
