The United States Supreme Court will not decide until at least Monday whether or not to hear the case of Arie Friedman vs. the City of Highland Park, a challenge to the city's ban on assault weapons, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Arie Friedman, a Lincolnshire pediatrician, sued the city after an ordinance passed banning semi-automatic "assault weapons" that carry more than 10 rounds. A federal appeals court upheld the city ordinance on a 2-1 vote.
"Assault weapons with large-capacity magazines can fire more shots, faster, and thus can be more dangerous in aggregate," the appeals court's majority opinion read. "Why else are they the weapons of choice in mass shootings?"
If the Supreme Court decides to hear the case, which was originally on their docket last week, it could set the precedent nationally on whether municipalities have the authority to ban weapons.

Going to war may seem one of the most hazardous ordeals on the planet, but perhaps not. The International Labor Organization (ILO) says there is more chance of dying from work than fighting for your country on the battlefield.
The admission was made by Guy Ryder, the ILO’s director-general, who was speaking at the 20th World Congress in Frankfurt to participants from 141 countries in what is the world’s largest occupational safety event.
“The challenge we face is a daunting one. Work claims more victims around the globe than does war: an estimated 2.3 million workers die every year from occupational accidents and diseases,” said Ryder, in an article published on the organizations website.
Ryder believes that work related deaths should get more attention than they currently do in the mass media.
“Ebola and the tragedies it is causing are in the daily headlines – which is right. But work-related deaths are not. So, the task ahead is to establish a permanent culture of consciousness,” he said.
While health and safety around the work place is improving, this is certainly not the case around the globe. In 2013, over 1,100 laborers died in a Bangladeshi factory after the building where they were working collapsed. Ryder believes it is unacceptable that people are forced to work in such conditions, where their lives are unnecessarily put at risk.
“This puts safety and health alongside forced labor, child labor, freedom of association and discrimination, which were recognized in the ILO Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.”
Ryder mentioned that total of cost of work related illnesses and accidents are a staggering $2.8 trillion around the globe. He also stressed the importance of investing in safety procedures and insurance, saying, “every dollar that is invested pays in.”
The head of the ILO said that it is imperative that better data is logged to record accidents at the work place, to help prevention and also give target figures to help reduce the number of mishaps: “We live in the Information Age where policy-makers have access to data on most issues. But in relation to occupational safety and health we lack data to design and implement evidence-based policies and programs. That’s a failure – also of political will.”
The ILO is a body of the United Nations and is based in Switzerland. It was founded in 1919 in response to the horrors of the First World War, as part of the Treaty of Versailles with the belief that lasting peace can only be achieved through social equality. Its purpose is to try and achieve better working, social and economic conditions for workers around the globe and to ensure that safety is paramount. | positive |

So You Wanna Publish on AppCenter
Helpful tips, common pitfalls, and frequently asked questions
Daniel Foré Blocked Unblock Follow Following Jun 26, 2017
It’s official: there’s been over 20 apps published through AppCenter Dashboard with more in development and on the way. Developers are excited that there is finally a fast and simple way to ship great, native, Open Source apps and earn an income while doing it. If you have an idea, now is the time to get it out there. But where do you begin? What should you look out for? And are there any little secrets you should know? Read on to find out!
Getting Started
If you’ve never written an app on elementary OS before, that’s okay! We have a great getting started guide on our website. Need a little help learning Vala? Say no more, because Valadoc.org has several guides and videos including this great one from Egee:
Feel like your design chops need polishing? Check out our Human Interface Guidelines for an intro to UX design and things to keep in mind when designing your UI. And of course, all of our apps are completely Open Source on GitHub, so you can always poke through our source code if you’re looking for code samples.
Common Pitfalls & Pro Tips
Once you have an app and are ready to publish, check out the AppCenter Dashboard Wiki. There’s a neat list of things you should double check before you hit the publish button, but here are a few more things to keep in mind:
AppCenter Dashboard enforces the Reverse Domain Name Notation (RDNN) for packages to avoid naming collisions. For most packages that’s going to look something like com.github.user.appname . To keep things simple for you and to make sure your app passes testing, we recommend using that RDNN all throughout your app. Use it as your app ID when you send notifications. Use it as your binary name. Use it to namespace gsettings keys. Stay consistent, save yourself some headache, and learn to love your RDNN!
The first thing that people will see when they go to discover your app is your banner colors. Try to stand out with a unique and creative color combination (hint: blue is not a creative color) and ship an icon and isn’t based on a square.
Try something other than blue and describe what people do (or don’t do) when they have your app
Avoid overly common descriptions like “simple”, “easy-to-use”, etc. Focus on what your app enables people to achieve. Describe what you knew while building your app that your competitors don’t.
Your screenshot needs to use elementary OS default settings (including window control position), have a transparent background, and should feature your app, not your whole desktop. You can easily take a transparent screenshot using the built in screenshot tool and the “Grab the current window” screenshot mode. | positive |

View the current version. Compare with Current View Page History « Previous Version 2 Next » The evaluation feature offers some graphical user interface and instrumentation to measure the latency and throughput of a given query and to create some plots. Create a new evaluation An evaluation is maintained by an evaluation job, which encapsulates all necessary settings. A evaluation job is project relative so that it must be assigned to an Odysseus project. To create a new evaluation, go to an Odysseus project and use right click, browse to "new" and choose "Evaluation Job". Choose a project wide unique name for your evalation job and press next. Choose the Odysseus Script file from the project you want to evaluate. Now you should see the evaluation job in your editor view. You may change the settings, which are described in the following. Settings for an evaluation Query File: This is the query file you want to evaluate. It should deliver at least one executable, physical query plan. Remember that the query will be executed more than once, so you should design the script to be reexecutable. This means for example, the query file may not try to install new sources which are already installed. Hint: you may use something like "#DROPALLSOURCES" or "#IFSRCDEF/#IFSRCNDEF" in Odysseus Script. Folder for processing results: This is a the folder where the evaluation dumps the results. For each new run of an evalation, a new subfolger (named by date and time) is created. Folder for plots: If you want to create plots from the results, the created plots are saved here Parameters: These parameters can be used to iterate over certain settings (or values) in your query file. If you created a new evaluation job, you have two predefined examples: "var_1" and "var_2". "var_1" is the name of the variable and the values are given at the right (each line is a value). So the predifined parameter "var_1" has the values "a", "b" and "c" and "var_2" the values "x", "y", and "z". If the parameters are active (the checkbox is checked), the evaluation will iterate over the values. It will produce each possible combination of all active parameters. For this example there will be 9 different runs: var_1=a and var_2=x var_1=a and var_2=y var_1=a and var_2=z var_1=b and var_2=x var_1=b and var_2=y var_1=b and var_2=z var_1=c and var_2=x var_1=c and var_2=y var_1=c and var_2=z At each run the variables are used to replaced defined variables in the query file. So, if we have a variable "${var_1}" in the query file, it is replaced with "a", "b" and "c". So, the parameters allows you to change the query file and to automatically run different evaluations with different settings for the same query file. For each setting, the results are stored within a certain folder which has the form "value1_value2_value3_...". For example, for the first setting this will be "a_x", the second "a_y" and so on. You can add a new parameter using the "Add" button and remove a parameter by selectiing the parameter and using the "Remove" button. How often to repeat: This is the number of times you want to repeat one certain setting. This allows to rerun the same setting multiple times to remove some inaccuracies in the measurements. At the end of the evaluation, all runs of the same settings are merged into one result. So, for the example with the parameters "var_1" and "var_2" above with a repeat of "10", you will have 90 evaluations (10 for each setting). For each setting (e.g. var_1=a and var_2=x) there will be an own folder within the setting folder (here: "a_x/1", "a_x/2",...,"a_x/10". at the end, the 10 results are merged into one single result and will be put in a folder called "merged" (which leads into "a_x/merged"). Measure Latency: If it is activated, the evaluation job adds the his pretransformation handler to measure the latency of the query. The pretransformation handler changes the query files (e.g. it activates the metadata latency by adding "#METADATA Latency" to the query. Furthermore, it adds the LatencyCalculationPipe and a FileSink to each root operator of the query. Therefore, if your query has different sinks, you will also have different latency results. Create plots for latencies: If activated, the evaluation will use the merged files to create some plots, which are stored within the plot-folder (look above) Measure Throughput: If this is active, the evaluiation job adds his pretransformation handler to measure the throughput of a query. The pretransformation handler changes the query by adding a throuput operator after each source. Measure each x elements: This is the number of elements between a throughput measurement. This means: the time for a certain amount x of elements will be measured. So, if x is 100, the system will check how long it will take to process 100 element, then the next 100 elements, the next 100 elements and so on. Create plots for throughput: If activated, the evaluation will use the merged files to create some plots, which are stored within the plot-folder (look above). Plotsettings: You can choose the export type: PDF, PNG, JPEG, or GnuPlot. Furthermore you may define the dimension of the plot, its height and width. Run and stop the evaluation You can simply start the evaluation by hitting "Start Evaluation". To stop an evaluation you may click "Cancel" on the Progressmonitor. If you stop a query by hand (e.g. using the Queries view) - one evaluation run is canceled and the next run will be installed and started automatically.

US President Barack Obama walks to a group photo session with Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit at Yanqi Lake, China, November 11, 2014 (AFP Photo/Greg Baker)
Washington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama accepted an invitation to meet Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, as a drive to revive efforts to resolve the Syrian conflict kicked into higher gear.
The announcement that Putin and Obama will hold talks at the United Nations in New York on Monday came as the Russian leader insisted supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was the only way to end the country's war.
US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, meanwhile, said Moscow and Washington could find ways to cooperate in the crisis, amid an apparent shift on Assad's potential role in any deal to end the four-year war that has killed 250,000 people.
Russia, a longstanding Assad ally, has rankled the West by building up its military presence in Syria.
On Thursday, it sparked fresh alarm by announcing it would carry out naval exercises in the eastern Mediterranean this month and in October.
Putin, meanwhile, said in an interview with US broadcaster CBS that Russia's deployment of attack jets, helicopters and armored vehicles to a Syrian air base was designed to save Assad.
"And it's my deep belief that any actions to the contrary -- in order to destroy the legitimate government -- will create a situation which you can witness now in the other countries of the region or in other regions, for instance in Libya, where all the state institutions are disintegrated," the Russian president said.
- Strained ties -
Syrian officials have said Russia is already helping their fight against Islamic State, which has seized large parts of its territory.
The Syrian military for the first time on Wednesday deployed drones supplied by Russia in its fight against the jihadists, a security source in Damascus said.
Syrian ambassador to Russia Riad Haddad told Interfax news agency that Moscow's assistance would help Syria "finally win against terrorist groups."
The tensions over Syria have further strained ties between Russia and the West which have plunged to Cold War lows over the Ukraine crisis.
However, while the two sides have spent months trading barbs over the Syria conflict, the flood of refugees on Europe's doorstep and the jihadist threat posed by the Islamic State group have given new urgency to ending the chaos.
At the Pentagon, Carter said if Russia were to fight IS jihadists while also pursuing a political solution, and not just "indiscriminately" attack Assad foes, the United States and Moscow might find ways of working together.
"On a course like that, it is possible that we could find areas of cooperation," Carter said.
"But if it's a matter of pouring gasoline on the fire on the civil war in Syria, that is certainly not productive."
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a fierce Assad critic, meanwhile suggested for the first time that the Syrian leader could play a part in a future political transition.
But "nobody envisages a future with Assad in Syria," Erdogan cautioned.
- 'Renewed effort' -
In a sign that European thinking may also be changing, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said "we have to speak with many actors, this includes Assad, but others as well."
European leaders, faced with the worst migrant crisis since World War II, have called for a "renewed UN-led international effort" to end a war that has forced 12 million people from their homes.
The foreign ministers of France, Britain and Germany -- as well as EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini -- held discussions on Syria in Paris on Thursday.
Germany's Frank-Walter Steinmeier said as he arrived that it was too early to raise the question of whether Assad should be involved in peace talks.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg urged Russia to make its intentions in Syria clear -- and said they should assist in US-led strikes on Islamic State extremists.
"The first step now is to sit down with the United States and to make clear what are (Russia's) intentions... and to try to cooperate and give a constructive contribution to the efforts led by the United States to fight ISIL (Islamic State)," he told AFP.
But experts warn that significant obstacles remain to any solution to the brutal Syrian conflict with major players in the West and the Gulf on the one hand, and Russia and Iran on the other, pursuing vastly different military and diplomatic tactics.
Western leaders have long demanded Assad's departure as part of any diplomatic solution, while Russia and Iran want him to stay.

Fairleigh Dickinson University, October 5, 2016 – In the race for the White House, the most recent national survey of likely voters from Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind finds Democrat Hillary Clinton with a ten-point lead over Republican Donald Trump. However, if Clinton were instead facing Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, the race would be a statistical dead heat. If Trump were up against Clinton’s running mate, Tim Kaine, he would fare even worse than he is against the former Secretary of State.
Right now, half of all likely voters (50%) say that if the election were held today, they would vote for Clinton. Forty percent would vote for Trump. When third-party candidates are included among the list of candidates, Clinton and Trump both experience a four percent reduction in support - Clinton to 46 percent and Trump to 36 percent.
“The post-presidential debate landscape is clearly favoring Clinton. Trump’s continued weight shaming of a former Miss Universe and the weekend disclosure of his 1995 tax returns are but a sample of difficult news coverage for the Republican candidate,” said Krista Jenkins, professor of political science and director of the FDU poll, PublicMind.
Trump is the most competitive among whites (47%) and those whose education did not go beyond high school (46%). Clinton’s lead among women looks almost insurmountable, with over half of women (56%) favoring her over Trump (32%).
A far more competitive landscape emerges if the presidential candidates are Clinton vs. Pence, rather than Clinton vs. Trump. When asked who they favor if the choices were Clinton and Indiana Governor Mike Pence, Clinton’s lead is all but erased. The same number say they would support Pence (46%) as those who would vote for Clinton (47%).
“Clearly Pence doesn’t carry the baggage that his running mate brings to the ticket,” said Jenkins. The Republican ticket gains support among the all-important self-described independents when the ticket puts Pence at the top against Clinton.
Conversely, if Trump were going up against Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, his prospects would dim even further. The ten percentage point gap among likely voters that separates him from Clinton would grow to sixteen points (39% v. 55%, respectively). In this matchup, the Democrats pick up support among women (63%) and independents (52%).
“These numbers suggest that both Pence and Kaine are largely untapped assets to their respective tickets. With both Clinton and Trump struggling under the weight over questions about their honesty, it looks like they could help themselves by highlighting their running mates a bit more. Pence’s and Kaine’s introduction to many voters during their recent debate provides an opportunity for them to capitalize on the more positive feelings many voters feel for them over their running mates,” said Jenkins.
When pitted against each other, in a hypothetical race that makes both the vice-presidential candidates the presidential candidates, the Democrats continue to dominate, but by a slightly smaller margin. Forty-nine percent say they would support Kaine, with 41 percent backing Pence.
Finally, in a question order experiment designed to test the appeal of third party candidates, voters clearly resonate more to Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein than lesser known options Monica Moorehead (World Workers Party) and James Hedges (Prohibition Party). Collectively, Johnson and Stein capture 14 percent support in matchups including Clinton and Trump. However, when Johnson and Stein are replaced with Moorehead and Hedges, support for third party options drops to seven percent.

Methodology - The Fairleigh Dickinson University poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone September 28-October 2, 2016 among a random national sample of 862 registered voters, including 788 likely voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of +/- 4.4 percentage points for likely voters (the basis for the analysis presented in this press release), including the design effect.
Survey results are also subject to non-sampling error. This kind of error, which cannot be measured, arises from a number of factors including, but not limited to, non-response (eligible individuals refusing to be interviewed), question wording, the order in which questions are asked, and variations among interviewers.
Interviews were conducted by SSRS of Media, Pennsylvania, with professionally trained interviewers using a CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) system. Random selection is achieved by computerized random-digit dialing. This technique gives every person with a landline or cellular phone number (including those with unlisted numbers) an equal chance of being selected.
The total combined sample is mathematically weighted to match known demographics of age, sex, race, and education. 346 interviews were conducted on landlines and 442 were conducted on cellular telephones.
The sample was purchased from Marketing Systems Group and the research was funded by Fairleigh Dickinson University.
PublicMind recently received an “A” rating from statistician Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight blog. The ratings measure both accuracy and bias for all major polling services in the United States, providing an update to similar research the poll watchers conducted in 2014. PublicMind’s “A” rating puts it in the top 14 of the more than 380 polling institutes reviewed and graded from A+ through F PublicMind was found to have a 94 percent accuracy rate for predicting election results, and is one of only two A-rated polling institutes with zero bias to their rankings.

Brett Dalton and Chloe Bennet are back together, but not on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where they play estranged sweethearts Ward and Skye. The popular sci-fi stars are reteaming on the Disney Junior hit cartoon Jake and the Never Land Pirates—as singing parrots! Their episode, "Flight of the Feathers," airs Monday, June 29 (9am/8c), and finds four feisty birds—Eagle-Eye (voiced by Lost vet Nestor Carbonell), Talon (Dalton), Skully (series regular David Arquette) and Swifty (Bennet)—joining forces to find a platinum feather that could lead them to a hidden treasure.
“This is much more me—lighter, funnier, goofier—than the grim badass thing I do on S.H.I.E.L.D.,” Dalton says. “I’m glad the Disney Junior people were thinking outside the box but I don’t think anyone will be asking me to sing again. Thankfully, they had all these Disney geniuses in the recording studio working their magic dials. No matter what wrong note I hit, they saved me!”
Bennet is an old pro at this musical stuff—she started out her career as a pop star in China—but felt sorely lacking in her Mouse House history. “Somehow I managed to grow up without ever seeing a Disney princess movie,” she says. “Crazy, right? But hey, I was the only girl in a family with six brothers. I was always outvoted.”
No worries. What Bennet lacked in Disney knowledge, she made up for in enthusiasm—and plenty of sugar and caffeine. “It was a great excuse to eat lots of candy, down a couple of cups of coffee and go in with my energy up and have a nutty, fantastic time,” she says. “I have no idea how Brett and I wound up in the same episode. Nobody ever told us, but it can’t be a coincidence. There must be a big S.H.I.E.L.D. fan somewhere at Disney Junior.”
Adds Dalton with a laugh: “It was great to have this little reunion with Chloe, though I’m sure it’s not the reunion a lot of our fans want. They want Ward and Skye back together romantically. Check out some of the fan fiction on the Internet! It’s pretty wild.”
Both actors are new to this voiceover stuff. “Hayden Panettiere and I did Until Dawn, a teen horror video game where my hand gets bitten off,” Dalton says. “But Jake is my first cartoon and I loved it. It’s the only job where you can show up for work in your pajamas.”
He’s looking forward to watching the episode with his 3-year-old daughter, Sylvia. “She’s crazy about the Jake show but I don’t know if she’s old enough to grasp the idea that I’m the voice of a parrot,” Dalton says. “She’ll probably be, like, ‘Huh? What?’ and think I’m just pointing at some random bird and claiming it’s me.”
Check out this clip from the episode. (FYI: Dalton is the purple bird; Bennet is the pink one!)

But it is not wrestling, football, or boxing. Let’s not use full body throws, body slams, tackles, or left jabs (unless they’re cued, of course ). We are dancing with a partner, not an opponent. So we should try to be gentle. I wonder if we are writing mostly to the men, here? Is the roughness that we sometimes see on the dance floor some kind of primal caveman or he-man urge, one of those Y-chromosome things? Mostly, but maybe not entirely. Anyone can be over-enthusiastic, intense, rushed, or pushy. In round dancing, we focus so strongly on the steps, the figures, the whole choreography — we focus so strongly on our feet — that the “details” like gentle execution can be overshadowed and forgotten. Moderation — One way to cultivate a gentle style is to make our movements and steps soft and smooth—not sharp, not sudden, not jerky. Well, some dance steps should have some abruptness to them. An Alemana Surprise Check or a Surprise Whip should have a surprise in it, but a gentle surprise. A Contra Check or a Right Lunge in tango should get out there and then stop, but not roughly or brutally. Let’s not try to make business for the chiropractor. As in most aspects of life, we want moderation—some sharpness when called for, but not too much. For instance, we know that long, gliding steps often look good. Some seasoned round dancers sweep past the beginners, on the inside of the curve. Maybe we have watched competition ballroom dancers soar from one end of the floor to the other. But sometimes, in striving to reach an imagined goal, we go too far, and a gracefully reaching step becomes a sudden leap or lunge. Then, the resulting momentum is hard to resist, so recovery must be muscular and crudely jerky in its turn. Pay attention to whether you are on the inside or the outside of any curve. On the inside, take smaller steps so she doesn't have to hustle. And stay tight in; again, she'll have a shorter arc to navigate. The same goes for her when you curve or turn the other way. We strive for rise and fall in most of the smooth rhythms, but it too should be gentle. There should be no hint of a jack-in-the-box. Don’t pop up to the tippy-toes and then thump down onto the heels. No deep knee bends. No abrupt extensions. We strive for sway and change of sway, but don’t jerk or shove your partner. We try to use side lead and contra action. Ease into these upper body rotations. Don’t throw that side forward like a race driver jerking the wheel of his hotrod. Much of our dancing involves turning—moving from one side of our partner to the other. If you try to go around your partner, sometimes it is a long way and you will have to rush or leap. Instead, go through your partner. For instance, in an Open Telemark, the man’s first step is forward with his left foot. Now, make the second step straight forward with the right; not side, not around her, but straight through her left side. She will turn ever so neatly, like a revolving door, and you are through to the other side—smoothly, gently. Often, choreographers will ask for arm- or legwork that is not a part of the standard figure. We are taught to dance a Fence Line “with arms.” That particular dance is popular, we dance it often, and we get into a rut and begin to dance all Fence Lines with arms. She is asked to recover from the Fence Line and kick to a Same Foot Lunge Line. Maybe the music has a nice flourish right there, one that calls for that kick. But humans like to develop habits—habits cut down on the number of decisions we have to make. So we begin to kick our way from every Hinge into a Same Foot. If the musical flourish isn’t there, then it looks busy, maybe frantic. If the tempo is a little faster, then the extra piece of business might appear rushed. If the music is more dreamy, then a flick might appear out of place. Don’t let such ruts trap you. Don’t do every Open Break with a big, vertical arm thrust. Don’t dance every Cross Body with a twirl. Don’t struggle to turn every Lariat into a Rope Spin. Don’t struggle at all—be gentle. Think Ahead — We are told to “develop” or “extend” a picture figure. Usually, this means to add a little more to what you have already done to get into that shape. Turn your bodies a little farther, lean back a little more, or extend a free arm to follow the line of the body. Well, again, in a waltz or a foxtrot at least, don’t just throw yourself out there and then stand there in a static pose. That’s going to look rough. Maybe the most valuable skill, to make dancing smooth and gentle, is to use all the time that is available. Arch back slowly. Extend the arm smoothly, over the whole measure. Do you have two measures? Use every beat. Another smoothing strategy is to anticipate the next figure, even as you are dancing the current figure. You can think of this as preparing or “prepping” for each figure as it approaches. For instance, if you are dancing a Three Step and then a Natural Weave, you will hear the second cue as you dance the Three Step. As you hear that next cue, adjust the last step of the current figure. Turn it a little to the right, and you will flow so much more gently into the weave. If you’re doing hip rocks to a spot turn, on the last hip rock, turn your foot out to allow the spot turn to flow. As a matter of fact, listen for that word “to” in the cueing. “Open break to a Natural Top.” The “to” warns you that you especially need to prep, in this case, to turn the end of the Open Break to the right so that the Natural Top will flow smoothly. In essence, you have begun the Natural Top at the end of the Open Break. You are overlapping the figures. No, we don’t want to be sloppy, but if we can consciously transition from each figure to the next, with a small action or maybe only with a mental readiness, then we will have one smooth dance, rather than lots of separate, isolated, and choppy figures. As much as anything, familiarity with the figures lets you “gentle” the movements. If you don’t know the figure well, you spend part of the beat hearing the cue, recognizing the name, putting the name to the actions, and finally getting the nerve impulses started on their way to the appropriate muscles. By that time, the beat is almost spent, and of course you have to jump into it. After you’ve done a figure or a dance 20 times, all that “thinking” happens a lot more quickly, leaving more time for gentle execution. Ah yes—here comes a blinding flash of insight. Are you ready? If your dancing feels rough, then practice can help smooth out the flow. Lead But Don’t Force — Men, your job is to lead your partner. Is “leading” the same thing as “making her go where you want her to go?” Do you ever find yourself dragging her across during a Wing? Don’t do the caveman thing. Be gentle. Guide, suggest, invite, but don’t force it. Open the door for her in a gentlemanly fashion, but don’t push her through. If she doesn’t get quite as far as you thought she should, let it be. A smaller move will certainly look better (and feel better) than a forced “correct” move. A good dancer is not an individual but very much a part of a couple. He must give her time to execute her moves. He must know what she has to do, lead her to do it, help her to do it or at least allow her to do it, and only then move to the next step or figure. Don’t do what the music tells you to do, regardless of what else is happening in your partnership or on the floor nearby. Adjust. Dance not only to the music, but to the total environment. You look good only if you both look good. At the end of the dance, let’s not hear her say, “You danced as though I wasn’t even there. You danced for yourself.” And don’t you reply, with great authority, “Follow! Just follow!” We talk casually about “lead and follow,” as though the information flows only from the man to the woman, from a captain to his crew, but it is really a conversation. He offers a lead, she responds, he reads that response and uses that information to fine-tune his next lead. A caveman lead is rough and awkward. A conversational lead is smooth and gentle. Thank Your Partner — And finally, at the end of the dance, you have one more opportunity to be gentle. Since even the hardest working, most practiced, and most highly polished dancer is still human, you might be tempted to question those blunders that will occur. This question could be as harsh as, “What kind of STUPID move was that?” The question could be less emotional—“Why did you do a Reverse Turn when the cue was Reverse Wave?” or “Why won’t you keep your arms up and give me something to work off of?” If you can ask this sort of thing with a bit of a smile or twinkle in the eye, then it can be fun. You can laugh at yourselves and still feel as though you’re partners. But if there is a feeling of irritation, frustration, or anger in your tone, then you are not together, not a couple, and a lot of the fun disappears — poof — it hurts and deflates what might have been a pretty party balloon. There are only three emotional combinations: When both are happy with the performance, then it is easy to be gentle and easy-going in your relationship. When both are unhappy, then a little grousing might not do too much damage. You can wallow in the mud of frustration together. But if only one is unhappy, then you need to take care. One has enjoyed the dance and feels good; the other feels short-changed and slighted. He didn’t do his part, or she didn’t do hers—didn’t measure up. But what percentage of the dance did these shortcomings really occupy? Now, at the end of the dance, is the time to think of the good parts. Now is the time for, “Thank you.” “That felt good.” If it didn’t feel good, at least the music was sweet. Smile. Be gentle.

Facebook Twitter email Alaskan Brewing Co. made US craft brewing history this year with the installation of a new piece of brewing equipment, a mash filter press. This new equipment maximizes the use of malt, hops and water— the three main ingredients in beer—while producing a more consistent and high quality craft beer. Alaskan is the first and only craft brewery in the country to utilize this Belgian brewing technology. “The mash filter press fulfills the same brewing function and process as the lautering equipment it is replacing – to recover the liquid mixture of natural sugars from malt and water,” explains David Wilson brewery operations manager, “but it requires considerably less water and provides a clearer and higher quality wort, the unfermented precursor to beer.” Before making any changes in the brewhouse, Alaskan made sure that they could maintain their high standards of quality and consistency would be met with the new equipment. “We had to ensure that our Alaskan Amber still looked, smelled and tasted like the Alaskan Amber we first brewed over 20 years ago,” says Geoff Larson, Alaskan’s co-Founder and President. In 2000, the brewery conducted a six-month trial period with a MEURA mash press prototype for their original 10-barrel brew system. The Alaskan Brew Crew participated in blind taste panels with all of the brewery’s year-round and seasonal beers and could detect no discernable difference between the two modes of lautering. After seven more years of research, Alaskan installed the mash press in July 2008, but did not completely convert to the new vessel until February of 2009 when additional blind taste panels confirmed that they could create the same award-winning beer. The mash filter press provides significant efficiencies, a continuation of Alaskan’s tradition of innovation and environmental stewardship. With the new equipment, the brewery will use nearly one million fewer gallons of water and 65,000 fewer gallons of diesel fuel each year – enough for a full-size truck to travel around the world 50 times. “This new equipment allows us to grow as a company within our community without compromising on quality or increasing our footprint,” says Larson. Due to the specific demands of brewing in the remote coastal community of Juneau, Larson and the crew at Alaskan Brewing have sought the most lean, efficient and sustainable modes of production.” In April 1998, Alaskan became the first craft brewery in the country to install and operate a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) reclamation system. This technology captures the greenhouse gas naturally produced in the fermentation process, then cleans and deodorizes the CO2 for use in bottling, kegging and other areas where most breweries must purchase and transport the gas from outside sources. The CO2 reclamation system saves approximately 783,000 lbs of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere each year. “We have the privilege of handcrafting award-winning beer in one of the most majestic locationson earth,” says Larson, “but is also brings special considerations and responsibilities in the way we brew. We find that both challenging and extremely rewarding.” Alaskan White Ale Alaskan Brewing released their first new, year-round bottled brew since 2007 with Alaskan White Ale. Based on a Belgian-style Witbier using Alaskan’s own ale yeast, Alaskan White Ale features a clean malt base that highlights the signature spice aroma of coriander and crisp, citrus finish of orange peel. The light body and smooth, wheat palate creates a complex yet delicate beer that is deliciously refreshing in any season. “There are some new ingredients for us in Alaskan White,” says brewer Tracy Bird, referencing the brewery’s previous bottled line-up featuring malt-based styles. This is the first bottled wheat beer from Alaskan and the first to include fruit and spices. Bird experimented with the Witbier style as part of Alaskan’s Rough Draft program in 2001. The Brew Crew spent eight years developing the recipe, which is now a local favorite in Juneau. “The White is a very likeable and approachable beer,” says Bird, “but with a lot of complexity and interesting flavors to balance the effervescent character of the style.” The new brew is making a splash in the Pacific Northwest. “We knew we had a really good beer on our hands with Alaskan White,” says Alaskan National Sales Manager Jon Blakley, “but we can hardly brew it fast enough to keep it on shelves here in Alaska.” The crisp and lightly tart flavor of Alaskan White pairs well with spicy food and lighter fare. Alaskan recommends pairing the White Ale with fresh summer salads and grilled shrimp or halibut. The label for the new brew features the artwork of renowned Pacific Northwest artist Jon Fehringer. Known for his ability to capture the unique scenes of Southeast Alaska, he applied his technique of airbrush and opaque watercolor to depict a polar bear traversing the icy landscape of the Arctic coast. “Each of our labels features an authentically Alaskan scene, from the orca breaching in a Southeast Alaska sunset to the surfer riding a wave in the shadow of Mount St. Elias,” explains Alaskan Brand Manager Cindy Burchfield. “Our new brew toasts the polar bear and its extraordinary place at the top of the world.” Alaskan White Ale is now available throughout Alaska and is making its way to shelves and on tap on in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming in early summer.

I was privileged to have been raised on some of the best names in rock and roll. Growing up in a musical household half an hour from the Jersey Shore, my adolescence was set to the soundtrack of my father playing Billy Joel on the piano after dinner and my mother blasting Prince and Bruce Springsteen whenever she drove my younger brother and me anywhere.
That early exposure eventually transformed into a zeal for experiencing live music. From sixth grade on, I saw concerts ranging from the Jonas Brothers to Rooney, from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to The Maine, and definitely a handful of Warped Tours and Bamboozles. Although my parents were afraid to leave me at shows alone with my friends until I was in high school, they made sure that if I wanted to go to a concert, I ended up there.
Midway through my sophomore year, while struggling more than ever with various chronic illnesses, music became something stronger in my life than just a weekend hobby: It started to feel like home. I wasn’t well enough to regularly go to school or compete in sports, but music was a constant that never slipped away. I still vividly remember the albums I played in constant rotation throughout my tumor diagnoses and surgeries, and the concerts I refused to miss even though I probably should have spent a few extra days recovering. The community I found and the friends I made through attending shows gave me a sense of security, a feeling that I would always be accepted and embraced, regardless of everything else I was going through. Though the crowds were usually diverse, our love of music united us — a feeling I'd never experienced before but couldn't imagine surviving without.
It was only once I decided to make the music community my profession that I realized this unity wasn't quite so simple, and that apparently not all music fans are created equal.
I had gotten flak for my love of boy bands growing up, but I looked forward to and loved those shows, so it never really bothered me. I proudly wore boy band merch to school, hung posters on my walls and in my locker, and spread the word about the groups I loved to friends on social media. As someone who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 10 years old, Nick Jonas's decision to go public with his diagnosis especially meant a lot to me. Seeing someone with a chronic illness continue to travel and play music reassured me that I could still go out and conquer the music industry, too. I carried that hope with me into high school, and it influenced me to get more involved in alternative music.
But as I got a little older, I started to pay more attention to the gendered language used to discuss certain genres of music — and the fans who support them. I heard comments like, "Girls who get dressed up for shows are just there to get attention," or "She’s obviously only backstage because she’s hooking up with someone in the band." Labels like "band slut" and "fangirl" were nonchalantly tossed around to refer to any woman present in a venue regardless of her age, attire, or any other factor. I started to realize that a woman's gender was interpreted by some as an open invitation to quiz her on her music knowledge and credibility, as if women could not possibly be passionate about music in the same way guys are. Even some of the male artists I worked with or was friends with made comments about the kind of fans they wanted to attract, implying that guys are the ones who truly find out about new music first, or even stating overtly that they "don’t want to appeal to 13-year-old girls."
Invalidating teenage girls' and young women's passion for music is a blatant form of sexism and ignorance, and it should be unacceptable in the music industry and throughout its broader community. Insinuating that young women only attend shows to fawn over male band members not only disrespects those fans but erases the efforts of female artists — women like Laura Jane Grace, Mitski, Julien Baker, and so many other strong, powerhouse role models who not only create incredible music, but also represent different sexualities, ethnicities, and body types. Diminishing the importance of so-called "fangirls" is not just insulting but ultimately detrimental to the industry as a whole, because these fans are also typically the ones who spend money on tickets, buy records and merchandise, and spread the word about these bands.
Sexist comments and attitudes like this make me feel very protective — less for myself than for the young women who are in a similar position to where I was when I found the music world. When I first started going to shows, I was impressionable, excited, curious, and passionate. Music was a positive force that helped me define myself when I felt like I was losing my sense of stability, and I still carry the peace and clarity it gave me in my heart. I feel obligated, therefore, to make sure that anyone who wants to find solace in this community (regardless of gender) has the same opportunity to do so — free from judgment or being told that they don’t have a place here.
We have to start doing a better job of shutting down this double-standard — and, moreover, creating an inclusive, safe space for people of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and backgrounds in the music world. For example, we could start by pointing out when people in the community use gendered language. Artists could model themselves after Speedy Ortiz, Modern Baseball and PWR BTTM, who have all made a conscious effort to make sure their venues are safe for people of all backgrounds.
It seems to me that the people who perpetuate these attitudes should start by reminding themselves why they got into music, and why they're part of this community in the first place. Die-hard music fans are lucky to have found something in which they believe so strongly. Some people search for that their entire lives.
So we should let these fans enjoy that passion. Even if they're dressed differently or get a little more excited about singing and dancing along, they should be able to do their own thing, and be respected for it. At the end of the day, supporting each other and building up our community is the only way we can make sure we don't lose it.

The emergence of the idea of the blockchain that drove the creation of Bitcoin and other cyber currencies is one of those signal events in the history of computing. Just as Doug Englebart invented the mouse in 1968 and proposed a vision for user experience that has yet to be fully realized, the blockchain has sparked the imagination of developers around the world who are using it for applications both inside and outside of finance.
But the excitement and the focus on the trust-building mechanism, the blockchain itself, has obscured the fact that the trust-building is just one aspect of the entire application platform. In absolutely every blockchain app, the use of the blockchain and the tracking of the trust units created are governed by a set of business rules that have to be airtight and just as unhackable as the blockchain itself.
For blockchain apps to succeed in the largest arena, a robust business rules language must accompany the blockchain. How will this emerge?
Stuart Popejoy is proposing an answer. The firm he co-founded with Will Martino, Kadena, just released Pact, its smart contract language, as open source. The goal: to provide a safe foundation for developers to implement solutions with robust business rules that can jumpstart the development of a business rules engine that, along with blockchain, can be the foundation for a general purpose blockchain application stack.
Here is an edited Q&A that shows why blockchain needs a robust business rules language and what impact that will have, not only for financial transactions but for expanding reliable automation in general.
Why are business rules so crucial to blockchain?
Popejoy: Blockchains need business logic to gain industrial adoption. The first wave of blockchain business applications hosted business rules in software outside of the blockchain, “tokenizing” transactions by associating them with infinitesimal amounts of Bitcoin. The next wave hosts business rules directly on the blockchain, embedding the rules in the transactions themselves, thereby leveraging the security and robustness of the blockchain.
With Bitcoin, every transaction has a small amount of bytecode that handles authorization and declares what transfer is to occur. The notion of smart contracts expands on this idea of packaging code with transaction data: where Bitcoin scripts can only instruct how a hard-coded transfer can occur, smart contracts actually implement the transfer or whatever other business event must transpire. Here is where the focus on business rules is critical: a general-purpose computing capability is too broad and too dangerous, as evidenced by the $50m theft occurring on the Ethereum DAO smart contract. Pact’s approach, drawing from Bitcoin’s scripts as well as stored procedures and rules engines, seeks to give “just enough” power to enact business events on a blockchain.
For example, here are some of the business actions smart contracts automate in ways that are as reliable, trusted, and unchangeable as the units tracked by the blockchain:
Business workflows can be enacted and captured as a fully auditable and self-settling series of transactions. For instance, a price can be offered and negotiated, terms negotiated, delivery confirmed, and payment schedules produced and serviced within the same system, guarded by business rules and permanently stored.
Auctions and continuous exchanges, both the markets themselves as well as automated, rule-driven participants, made vastly easier by removing the need for transactional message systems.
With a confidential/privacy-supporting blockchain like Kadena, confidential data management with selective public disclosure. For instance, inter-organizational medical record sharing while providing instantaneous, anonymous statistics for public health, such as contagious disease contraction or at-risk demographics.
With Pact, we can finally create distributed business applications that provide the level of assurance necessary for large enterprises with considerable value at risk. This is only possible when your smart contracts are safe, fast and simple enough to be understood by business users. The ability to express and socialize business rules, especially across organizations, is where we will see blockchain transform business.
Why can’t we use code or other business rules engines?
Popejoy: Smart contract languages like Pact are informed by past solutions that allow business users to perform and automate business events, like SQL, business rules languages like Drools, and even Excel formulas, which still host critical business logic to this day. However, these existing solutions lack key features needed to provide the exacting assurance needed on a blockchain.
Determinism is a critical feature. If a business event is to be perfectly replicated across hundreds or thousands of machines, it must be impossible for the logic to reach different results, due to some difference in its execution environment. Examples of non-determinism include reading and writing files, opening network connections, or generating random numbers: these operations make it impossible to guarantee conformance across the cluster. A deterministic language can only operate on its own managed state (ie, a database), and the inputs given. Blockchains like the Kadena blockchain and Ethereum guarantee that these inputs are identical, so we can guarantee that the business rules execute identically.
Thus, languages that support non-deterministic operations are less safe. This is one reason simply hard-coding logic is less ideal, as you must audit that code for safety and determinism, to say nothing of the expertise required and slow dev iterations. Likewise, scripted languages like Python, or solutions like Drools that offer file system and network access, are similarly not ideal: they simply were not designed for mass replication of business logic.
Even Ethereum’s Solidity, while deterministic, is too general-purpose for business rules. Pact is further constrained, with features like immutability (variables cannot be re-assigned) and Turing-incompleteness (like Bitcoin scripts, Pact cannot loop indefinitely, or recursively call functions). What’s more, Pact is like SQL in that you directly work with rows in a database, with ample support for public-key authorization. The principle here is you want to empower the development of business rules while eliminating sources of bugs and exploits.
What do you hope to achieve for the industry by making your business rules engine smart contract language open source?
Popejoy: We feel that the smart-contract language space is in need of solid alternatives for business rules. Solidity is the main option currently, and while it has had fantastic adoption, it has obvious problems. The choice of an object-oriented model, while familiar, obscures data representation and leads to complex, error prone business logic. The DAO hack was made possible by bugs in the smart contract itself. Solidity’s deployment model complicates things further by embedding reams of illegible compiled “byte-code” onto the chain, making it difficult or impossible to verify what code is running in a given transaction. Pact is interpreted, like SQL, meaning the code on the chain is the same code you wrote and deployed.
By open-sourcing Pact, we want to advance the conversation by showing how smart-contracts can be a safe and attractive solution for integrating business processes with blockchain technologies. A new generation of Bitcoin-inspired technologies are just beginning to emerge, representing a revolutionary approach to computing where fault-tolerance and fraud resistance are a given. Smart contracts are critical to this revolution – Pact is the next step forward.
What do you hope to achieve for Kadena?
Popejoy: Kadena has the fastest and most scalable blockchain technology on the market, achieving over 10000 transactions per second with full crypto-auditability, and scaling to thousands of nodes with latencies less than 100ms. This provides a high-performance platform for executing distributed business logic, logic which can and should be developed by business users.
Open-sourcing Pact eliminates friction for developers and even business users, making it painless to download and try out the software. We even have a browser-based environment at http://kadena.io/try-pact where you can see for yourself how easy Pact is to use. Our development environment integrates with other open-source technologies like the Atom editor for a productive and enjoyable developer experience. Our goal is to empower users to transform business with blockchain technology.

Fix conflicts only once with git rerere
Christophe Porteneuve Blocked Unblock Follow Following Nov 3, 2014
So you fixed a conflict somewhere in your repo, then later stumbled on exactly the same one (perhaps you did another merge, or ended up rebasing instead, or cherry-picked the faulty commit elsewhere…). And bang, you had to fix that same conflict again.
That sucks.
Especially when Git is so nice that it offers a mechanism to spare you that chore, at least most of the time: rerere. OK, so the name is lousy, but it actually stands for Reuse Recorded Resolution, you know.
In this article, we’ll try and dive into how it works, what its limits are, and how to best benefit from it.
The usual suspect: control merges
A situation where rerere comes in really handy is control merges.
Picture this: you’re working on a long-lived branch; perhaps a heavy feature branch. Let’s call it long-lived. And naturally, as time passes, you get more and more apprehensive of eventually merging this branch in the main development branch (usually master), because as time goes by, the divergence thickens…
So to relieve some of that tension and ease up the final merge you’re heading towards, you decide to perform a control merge now and then: a merge of master into your own branch, so that without polluting master you can see what conflicts are lurking, and figure out whether they’re hard to fix.
It is indeed useful, and just so you won’t have to fix these later, you would be tempted to leave that control merge in the tree once you’re done with it, instead of rolling it back with, say, a git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD and keep your graph pristine.
So as time passes, you get a graph that looks like this, but worse:
Control merges polluting your history graph
This is ugly and pollutes your history graph across branches. After all, a merge should only occur to merge a finalized branch in.
But if you cancel that control merge once you’re done, you’ll have to re-fix these conflicts all over again next time you make a control merge, not to mention on final merge towards master. So what’s a developer to do?
rerere to the rescue
This is exactly what rerere is for. This Git feature takes a fingerprint of every conflict as it happens, and pairs it with a matching fix fingerprint when the problematic commit gets finalized.
Later on, if a conflit matches the first fingerprint, rerere will automagically use the matching fix for you.
Enabling rerere
rerere is not just a command, but a transverse behavior of Git. For it to be active, you need at least one of two conditions to be met:
The rerere.enabled configuration setting is set to true
Your repo contains a rerere database (you have a .git/rr-cache directory)
I can’t quite fathom a situation where having rerere enabled is a bad idea, so I recommend you go ahead and enable it globally:
git config --global rerere.enabled true
A conflict shows up
Let’s say you now face a conflict-bearing divergence; perhaps master changed your <title> in index.html a certain way, and long-lived did otherwise.
Let’s try a control merge:
(long-lived) $ git merge master
Your first rerere-enabled conflict. Notice the 3rd line.
This looks like your regular conflict, but do pay attention to the third line:
Recorded preimage for 'index.html'
This tells us that rerere lifted a fingerprint of our conflict. And indeed, if we ask it what files it’s paying attention to on this one, it’ll tell us:
(long-lived *+|MERGING) $ git rerere status
index.html
If we look into our repo, we’ll indeed find the fingerprint file:
$ tree .git/rr-cache
.git/rr-cache
└── f08b1f478ffc13763d006460a3cc892fa3cc9b73
└── preimage
This preimage file contains the full fingerprint of the file and its conflict (the entire blob, if you will).
Recording the fix
OK, so let’s fix this conflict. For instance, I’ll go with the following combined title:
…
<head>
<meta charset=”utf-8">
<title>20% cooler and more solid title</title>
</head>
…
I can then verify what rerere will remember once I complete the merge:
$ git rerere diff
--- a/index.html
+++ b/index.html
@@ -2,11 +2,7 @@
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=”utf-8">
-<<<<<<<
- <title>20% cooler title</title>
-=======
- <title>More solid title</title>
->>>>>>>
+ <title>20% cooler and more solid title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Base title</h1>
I can then mark this as fixed the usual way, with a git add. Then git rerere remaining will tell me what other files I should look into (right now, none).
At any rate, for rerere to effectively remember the fix, I need to finalize the current commit. This being a merge, it falls to me to manually perform the commit:
(long-lived +|MERGING) $ git commit --no-edit
Recorded resolution for 'index.html'
[long-lived fcd883f] Merge branch 'master' into long-lived
(long-lived) $
Pay attention to the second line:
Recorded resolution for 'index.html'
And indeed, that fix snapshot is now a postimage in our repo:
$ tree .git/rr-cache
.git/rr-cache
└── f08b1f478ffc13763d006460a3cc892fa3cc9b73
├── postimage
└── preimage
So I can go right ahead and roll back that control merge, because I don’t want to pollute my history graph with it:
(long-lived) $ git reset --hard HEAD^
HEAD is now b8dd02b 20% cooler title
(long-lived) $
The conflict re-emerges
Let’s now assume that long-lived and master both keep marching on. Perhaps in the former, a CSS comes up. And in the latter, the same CSS appears (albeit with different contents), along with a JS file.
The time comes when a new control merge seems in order. Here we go:
(long-lived) $ git merge master
Auto-merging style.css
CONFLICT (add/add): Merge conflict in style.css
Auto-merging index.html
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in index.html
Recorded preimage for 'style.css'
Resolved 'index.html' using previous resolution.
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
(long-lived *+|MERGING) $
We have an add/add conflict for the CSS, and the well-known conflict for index.html. But look more closely around the end:
Recorded preimage for 'style.css'
Resolved 'index.html' using previous resolution.
As you can see, the conflict about index.html is known already, and has been auto-fixed. Indeed, if you ask git rerere remaining what’s up, it’ll tell you that only style.css is still in trouble.
So let’s start with marking index.html as being okay, by staging it:
$ git add index.html
By the way, if you prefer rerere to auto-stage files it solved (I do), you can ask it to: you just need to tweak your configuration like so:
$ git config --global rerere.autoupdate true
From now on, I’ll consider you have this setting on. As we did before, let’s fix the remaining conflict, and then:
(long-lived *+|MERGING) $ git commit -a --no-edit
Recorded resolution for 'style.css'.
[long-lived d6eea3e] Merge branch 'master' into long-lived
(long-lived) $
We now have two pairs of fingerprints available, including one on style.css:
$ tree .git/rr-cache
.git/rr-cache
├── d8cd8c78a005709a8aac404d46f23d6e82b12aee
│ ├── postimage
│ └── preimage
└── f08b1f478ffc13763d006460a3cc892fa3cc9b73
├── postimage
└── preimage
And we can roll back that commit, like before.
To wrap up, let’s assume index.html gets modified one last time, adding contents near the end of the <body>. Then we commit it.
This was the last necessary commit for long-lived, so instead of doing yet another control merge, we decide to do the final, proper merge into master:
(master) $ git merge long-lived
Auto-merging style.css
CONFLICT (add/add): Merge conflict in style.css
Auto-merging index.html
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in index.html
Staged 'index.html' using previous resolution.
Staged 'style.css' using previous resolution.
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
(master +|MERGING) $
Note that instead of the “Resolved… using previous resolution” we had before, we now get:
Staged 'index.html' using previous resolution.
Staged 'style.css' using previous resolution.
This is because we asked rerere to auto-stage completely fixed files. And indeed, my prompt only mentions “+” (staged), no “*” (modified), which leads me to think that there’s no remaining conflict. Something git rerere remaining confirms by not showing anything.
So you don’t need to stop when seeing “Automatic merge failed” at the end, this only means that regular merge strategies were not enough; but because we had rerere help out on top of it, we could go through. Still, because rerere heuristics are not 100% guaranteed to be relevant (the context might have changed…), Git will refuse to auto-finalize a rerere-helped operation.
To make sure it was adequately fixed, if you have any doubt, a simple git diff —staged or git show :0:file (that’s a zero, not an O letter) will calm your fears.
It still is your job to wrap up the commit:
(master +|MERGING) $ git commit

Context-free
You should remember that the fingerprints are independent of context:
It doesn’t matter which command resulted in the fingerprint pair being lifted (merge, rebase, cherry-pick, stash apply/pop, checkout -m, etc.).
It doesn’t matter which command re-uses the fix.
It doesn’t matter what paths the conflicting files were at (it’s the snapshot’s contents that matters).
On the other hand, a fingerprint is usable only if its diffs’ immediate contexts are preserved, as is usual for merge conflicts. If you modified a line too close to a diff in the preimage, rerere will refuse to consider that image+fix pair, and you’ll have to fix the new context yourself.
Besides, if a new conflict appears in a file that is already targeted by fingerprint pairs for previous conflicts, rerere seems quite strict about its rules of applicability for previous fixes. I find it hard to determine just what its proximity thresholds are, but it may well ignore previous fixes and decide to ask for a new fix for the entire conflict set in the file. As usual, YMMV.
Can’t I share this with other contributors?
Just like hooks, the rerere database (the .git/rr-cache directory) stays in your local repo: it’s not shared with upstream when you push (regardless of your push settings and options).
And just like hooks, this doesn’t mean you can’t share these with co-workers and fellow code contributors if you really want to (it’s actually a rather good idea to share these). There are several options, usually based on symbolic links (symlinks).
Option 1: embedded in your working directory
You can absolutely dedicate a directory in your WD to sharing elements otherwise kept local in your repo, such as rr-cache and hooks, for instance.
You could create a directory named .git-system at the root of your WD, in which you’d have subfolders. This way in your .git directory, rr-cache would be a symlink on ../.git-system/rr-cache. On OSX / Linux / Git Bash, you’d do it the following way:
# Create the folder
mkdir .git-system
# If your folder exists in the repo, move it;
# otherwise create it at its final location
[ -d .git/rr-cache ] && mv .git/rr-cache .git-system/ ||
mkdir .git-system/rr-cache
# Create the symlink
ln -nfs ../.git-system/rr-cache
On Windows, this would look more like this:
mkdir .git-system
# The following is a single line
if exist .git\rr-cache (move .git\rr-cache .git-system) else mkdir .git-system\rr-cache
mklink /d .git\rr-cache ..\.git-system\rr-cache
(Since Windows Vista, the mklink command lets you create symlinks, but you’ll have to run it in an elevated-privileges command prompt, that is, one ran as administrator. Your being admin is not enough. OR, your Local Security Policy could include your specific user account in the Create Symbolic Links authorization. Because, you know, symlinks are for evil hackers, right?! More info on mklink here. If on Windows XP or not wanting to get hurt with Windows scripting, just run the first set of commands in the Git Bash installed by your Git Windows installer.)
Sharing your local repo configs, embedded in the working directory. This requires commit juggling to keep things neatly separate.
In such a situation, the idea is not to include the new fingerprints in the original fix commit, keeping .git-system contents in its own commit. This requires some juggling with the fact you want to reset control merges, but keep the fingerprints-only later commit. A three-point rebase helps with that, for instance:
# 1. Ensure you're not committing .git-system by mistake
(long-lived *+|MERGING) $ git reset -- .git-system
(long-lived *+|MERGING) $ git commit --no-edit
# 2. Commit .git-system by itself
(long-lived *) $ git add .git-system
(long-lived +) $ git commit -m "Fix fingerprints for control merge"
# 3. Rewrite history to preserve only the last of the 2 commits.
(long-lived) $ git rebase --onto HEAD~2 HEAD^
Option 2: a dedicated local-sharing repository
The other approach, which avoids commit juggling but makes sharing a two-step process, is to have a repo (and its upstream for sharing, obviously) dedicated to sharing settings otherwise kept local.
You’d only change the target of your symlink to something more fixed and absolute, ideally a subdirectory of your central sharing repo, something along the lines of:
~/.git-shared-locals/your-project/rr-cache on OSX/Linux, or
C:\Users\you\git-shared-locals\your-project\rr-cache on Windows.
Sharing your local repo configs, through a separate, dedicated repository. No commit juggling, but two-step sharing.
In that manner, you do not introduce any extra contents in your working directory due to fingerprinting. No commit juggling. It’s just that, to share your fingerprints you’d need to also go to the central sharing repo, commit these, do a quick git pull --rebase to get whatever shared configs are new on the server and replay your own new stuff on top of it, then git push to actually share with your friends.
(This is the second time we’re talking about rebasing in this article; if you’re confused about when to merge vs. rebase, and what odd things like three-point rebases are, we’ve got you covered).
This is two-step, but eliminates the risk of broken commits mixing preimage fingerprints with fixes, etc.

Laura Geller and Julep acquired by Glanasol
Glanasol is a new company co-founded by former Revlon President and CEO Alan Ennis and private equity firm Warburg Pincus
Glanasol, a newly formed prestige beauty and personal care company, has acquired Laura Geller, Julep and Clarks Botanicals, marking its first acquisitions.
Glanasol, which means pure life in Irish, has been founded through a partnership between former Revlon President and CEO Alan Ennis, and private equity firm and brand incubator Warburg Pincus.
The deal to acquire Laura Geller, the US colour cosmetics brand, has already completed, while the other two are due to close shortly.
Each of the three brands we are acquiring today plays a specific and important role in our portfolio.
Ennis said he was delighted to be taking the step to acquire the three brands.
He said: Each of the three brands we are acquiring today plays a specific and important role in our portfolio and will retain their individual brand autonomy and culture.
I believe that our unique long-term view of building the next great beauty company, is appealing to both brand owners and the capital markets."
Julep is a prestige colour cosmetics and skin care brand founded by Korean-born Jane Park. Meanwhile, Clarks Botanicals is a premium skin care brand founded in 2008 by Francesco Clark.
Clark said: Ultimately, all the Glansaol brands will benefit from each other's individual strengths. | positive |
The Benson Journey: April 2009 Pages Home About Neal Missions Messages Media Bio Contact Thursday, April 30, 2009 Ways to Get Refreshed Today I had a buddy stop in my office and he is in a time of seeking God in a big way. I wanted to give him some scripture that refresh me and some things I do to get refreshed. Here is that list: Some Good Scripture that I recommend: 1 Samuel 3 Ester 4:12-16 Matt. 9:35-38 Psalm 15 (I like to pray this one about myself) 1 Kings 19:21 2 Samuel 23:8-39 (I love this stuff) Matt 11:12 James 1 (entire chapter) Philippians 2:1-18 Some things I recommend: 1) Get some rest 2) Eat healthy 3) Take a hike: spend some time in prayer up there (like on a mountain) 4) Watch Braveheart or Patriot or Gladiator 5) Sleep in Hope that this helps, or maybe you can add some things that help refresh you Posted by Neal Benson at 5:07 PM No comments: Sunday, April 26, 2009 School: Plan to Graduate So as part of my class at Tozer Seminary I needed to write out my plan to graduate. I appreciate the leadership at the school getting me to think through what I need to take to graduate. Here is what I think I will be taking (I changed this up a little from what I submitted in my final paper): Summer 2009: Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Life and Thought & Global Issues in Evangelism Fall 2009: Christian Spiritual Formation & Elective: Congregational Care Spring 2010: Contemporary Culture & Elective: Marriage and Family Counseling Summer 2010: Small Groups and Discipleship & Equipping People for Ministry Fall 2010: Personal Health and Growth in Ministry Spring 2011: Christian Communication & Elective: World Religions Summer 2011: Principles of Counseling & Theology of Missions I'm posting this because I'm asking you all to pray for me to have the wisdom to take the right classes. Thank you very much for helping me through this process of education! Posted by Neal Benson at 4:18 PM No comments: Labels: Prayer, Seminary, Travel, Vegas Friday, April 24, 2009 Final Paper Today I turned in my final paper for "Life Long Learning" at Tozer Theological Seminary. I have been taking classes here in in town at Fuller Theological Seminary for the last three years and just have made the switch to Tozer (actually I have one more class that I am finishing at Fuller right now). Today is freeing; having turned in that paper and been able to get that done was freeing. I only have one class that I'm working on right now (Psalms) and its pretty gnarly. Seminary has been a good learning experience but right now it has been tough. I miss the time that Charity and I used to laugh and now having Sophie it had set in that I need to finish. I think that having Sophie has light a fuse on some internal clock that makes me want to complete my education so I can spend more time with my family. This change for me means something big. After I finish Psalms I will be over half way done with my degree! I have thirteen more classes left and it seems surreal... This summer we will be traveling to Redding for two weeks to do classes. Please pray for me as I figure out summer classes and finish up Psalms. Posted by Neal Benson at 9:30 PM 1 comment: Labels: Family, Prayer, Seminary, Vegas Tuesday, April 21, 2009 Making the Most of Your Mission Trip As I sit shotgun in the van on the way home from our Spring Break mission trip to Mexico I just started reflecting on what made this trip so amazing. Yes, the sixteen minute border wait on the way home will make you smile, but did we do right that made our team smile the entire trip? Having been able to do multiple mission trips since being a Christian here are some things that our team has implemented into the trip to make it more successful (maybe one day I will write something on “How not to lead a mission trip” but not this year). 1) Give your team plenty of team before the trip to connect and get prepared This year we started plenty ahead of time. This allows the students, adult leaders and families in your church who want to come the ability to come. Most people want/need ample lead-time before the trip to get prepared; respect that and plan ahead so that you are prepared. When you are prepared then everyone on the team can be prepared. This will allow you the time to think when the plans need to change and trust me they will. 2) Have clearly defined limitations on your trip When you know who this trip is aimed to, what people can expect, what kind of work you will be doing and things of that nature it helps you know who this trip is designed for. If you are going to be building a building then you may not want younger kids on the team. Know your sleeping arrangements so that people can know what to expect and what they need to bring. Also if you have a dad who wants to bring his eight-year-old daughter on trip are you prepared for that with the sleeping? These are great things to think through ahead of time. 3) Be clear and intentional at your team meetings This is where you need to be prepared so that you can communicate what is necessary for the people on your team to know. If the meeting is going to be an hour long be prepared for that, if the meeting is going to be three hours long let your team know that ahead of time. 4) Utilize your leader on the team This is a great time to read Exodus 18 again. Look at what Jethro says to Moses about the way he is leading. Appoint leaders on your team and let them lead. Teach your leaders to lead, help them lead and let the team know that they are going to lead. This has been one the greatest learning experiences for me. When you can focus your time on helping your leaders and taking care of them, then your leaders can lead; us the resources in them that God has given you. 5) Pray hard This could probably be the first point but we’re talking about it last. Pray throughout this entire process; pray for God to put the right people on the team. Pray for God to lead your team, stretch them, keep them safe and unite them for a common purpose. When you take the time to seek God in this entire process of following the great commission God will speak to you and lead you in the right path.

This is what my small group did the day after it snowed in Vegas! I am so stoked I got some guys who are down to do this! Posted by Neal Benson at 11:29 PM 3 comments: Labels: Excited, Small Group, Snow, Vegas Thursday, April 16, 2009 Blowdarts in the leg Yep, that is right! So do you ever have those nights that small group is just not going that well and things keep getting in the way? This was one of those nights. It could have been me, or maybe my boys, but none of us were focused and then Bobby found the blowdart gun. He kept asking to shoot me and finally I gave in... but then I shot him; once when he was ready and once when he wasn't for good measure!

About 2 weeks ago I had the rad opportunity to do the wedding of two of our really good friends here in Las Vegas; Greg and Richelle. Greg and Richelle got married up at Mount Charleston and it was the most beautiful day that I have ever been up there. Here is Greg and I waiting for Richelle to come down the isle. Greg is one of the first people that I met out here in Vegas and I have to say that he has been a great friend to me. The first time I met Greg he was driving his sick Chevy Nova and the plate read "SXI MXI" short for sexi mexi; and that is what Greg is. Then Richelle and Greg both started working with students out here with us at South Hills Church. Now I have to put up this picture of Dana Bicker with Sophie. Ryan and Dana used to work out here at South Hills and now they are living back in the Bay Area. We totally miss them! Ryan actually sent me these pics (love them Rhino!). Here is Ryan and I chilling at the reception waiting to get in. I had to put this one up there because you will rarely see me in a suit! I love rocking the suit, but I cant do it all day. This post can sum up as being about friends. Charity and I have been blessed with having some great friends in our lives; thank you to all who we call friend.

I am apart of a team that will be here for 8 days working with Rick and Tammie Romano. Our goal is to work as a team to unite people to find Jesus while we are here. During that process we hope to build a church! I am in Mexico right now so this is going to be short. Please take the time to pray for our team and that God will lead all we do! Matt Hall is our building team leader and Whitney Rossvanes in leading VBS. They are amazing! I'll try to update this... key word in there is try!

Karla Jay (born February 22, 1947) is a distinguished professor emerita at Pace University, where she taught English and directed the women's and gender studies program between 1974 and 2009. A pioneer in the field of lesbian and gay studies, she is widely published.
Upbringing and Career [ edit ]
Jay was born Karla Jayne Berlin in Brooklyn, New York, to Rhoda and Abraham Berlin, who worked for a dunnage company on the Red Hook (Brooklyn) docks. Raised in a non-observant, largely secular Jewish home, she attended the Berkeley Institute, a private girls' school in Brooklyn.[1] In 1964 she enrolled at Barnard College, where she majored in French and graduated in 1968 after having taken part in the student demonstrations at Columbia University.
While she shared many of the goals of the radical left-wing of the late 1960s, Jay was at odds with the male-supremacist behavior of many of the movement’s leaders. In 1969, she became a member of Redstockings.[2] Jay, who had been aware of her lesbianism since high school, came out to her consciousness-raising group in Redstockings. At around the same time she began using the name Karla Jay to reflect her feminist principles.
When activists founded the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) in the wake of the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, Jay, openly lesbian, became an early member and an active participant.[3] She balanced attendance at GLF meetings with graduate school at New York University, where she majored in comparative literature. She was one of the few women actively involved in the early gay rights movement on both coasts.[1]
Jay was a member of Lavender Menace, a group that formed to protest the exclusion of lesbians from mainstream Women's Liberation.[4] She was involved in the planning and execution of the "Lavender Menace Zap" at the Second Congress to Unite Women in New York City in May 1970. This zap is considered a turning-point in the history of second-wave feminism.[5]
Also in 1970, the "Wall Street Ogle-In" took place. Led by Jay, women marched on Wall Street with signs addressing street harassment. As a role reversal, the women catcalled the men they passed in hopes of raising awareness of the unpleasant nature of the street harassment women experience daily.[6]
Working with Allen Young Jay edited Out of the Closets (1972), a pioneering anthology[7][8] that gave voice to the Radicalesbians, Martha Shelley, and writers such as Rita Mae Brown. It was during the 1970s that Jay first heard about the writers Natalie Clifford Barney and Renée Vivien, lesbian members of the American expatriate community in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s. Their lives and works became the subject of Jay's doctoral dissertation, published by Indiana University Press as The Amazon and the Page (1988).
Jay contributed the essay "Confessions of a Worrywart: Ruminations on a Lesbian Feminist Overview" to the anthology Sisterhood Is Forever: The Women's Anthology for a New Millennium (2003), edited by Robin Morgan.[9]
At the presentation of Pace University's 10th Annual Dyson Distinguished Achievement Awards on April 6, 2006, Jay was honored with the Distinguished Faculty Award. She received the Bill Whitehead Award for Lifetime Achievement from Publishing Triangle in 2006.
Jay is featured in the feminist history film She's Beautiful When She's Angry.[10][11]
Her papers are held in the Archives & Manuscripts Division of the New York Public Library.

"He~ey! Whatcha doin'?"
The hand on my shoulder and voice right next to my ear make me start, and I look to the side to see Neon grin at me. "...A good morning to you too, Neon."
"Mornin!"
I'm checking out the notice of the fight matchups for today, the final day of the Teams round, when the cat Faunus – somehow, while still wearing rollerblades – sneaks up on me. "The fights today?" "M-hm." I nod, and Neon peers over my shoulder to inspect the leaflet.
VRDN of Haven vs. PWTR of Atlas
CRLN of Beacon vs. VRML of Atlas
CLDN of Haven vs. FCSA of Shade
SFRN of Beacon vs. CNBA of Atlas
Of course I'm rooting for Haven's VRDN and CLDN, but other than that I don't know any of the other names, and don't much care for them. Neon might be interested in most of them, though, since there's 3 Atlas Teams fighting today – including against our VRDN.
"Hey," I nudge Neon's side and highlight the the first battle of the day with my finger. "This one could be good."
"Oh yeah, our boys from Team PWTR [Pewter] against your V-R-D-N... what's that spell out?"
"Viridian."
"Right. PWTR vs. VRDN. Sorry to tell you, but Haven doesn't stand a chance, PWTR are one of Atlas' top Teams."
"Well, so are VRDN. They're fourth-years, and even if their leader is pretty flighty, Valerie is also an excellent fighter."
"Oh? So you think Haven is gonna win that one?"
"Of course."
"Wanna make a bet of it? You're one behind again after all."
Yesterday we ultimately tied in our races and stuff at the skate park, so with the win in our duel I was catching up, but then I just had to agree to let a game of rock-paper-scissors count later during the night. How the hell did Neon talk me into that one? I really should have gone to sleep far earlier. But if Neon wants to make a game out of this too, works for me. "You're on."
"Great. By the way, did you have breakfast yet? There's still time before the fight begins."
I shake my head. "I'm waiting for the others, they should be here any moment."
"'Kay. Me neither. But I'm gonna need a moment, so you just go ahead, I'll catch up with you." And with that Neon turns around and starts heading back up the stairs to the dorms. "And save a seat for me!"
Only a few minutes later Arslan and the others arrive and we head over to the dining hall. We're actually pretty early, so there's still plenty of seating.
"He~ey! How you doing?" For the second time in like 15 minutes someone comes up on me from behind suddenly putting their hand on my shoulder and almost making me spill my cereal.
"Jeez, is today 'jumpscare Reese'-day or something?" I complain, but I recognize that voice too and turn to the speaker with a smile. "Hello, Skye. I'm fine, how are you?"
"I'm great. And so is Keira." The blue-haired, golden-eyed girl wearing a sleeveless t-shirt, baggy shorts and her asymmetrical armguards, only the left one extending over her upper arm too, gives me a brief hug and then waves to her girlfriend making her way over to us.
The taller gray-eyed redhead is wearing a dark vest over a short light gray dress and modesty shorts as well as black knee-high boots and the thick bracers she's wearing literally always, with a few thin wires attached to them running behind her back. I know they involve her Semblance somehow, but I have no idea how exactly.
As I greet Keira, Skye hugs Bolin next to me, then reaches over the table to also hug the other two best as she can without knocking anything off the table. She's like that, hugs for everyone, and Keira knows that and doesn't mind, especially as the two of them are a lot more... passionate about their relationship.
...As evidenced by the deep, long kiss they share a moment later. "Jeez, get a room, you guys," Bolin says, "some people could become annoyed at the two of you making out like that." Including that girl with the beanie over there looking away with poorly veiled distaste in her one visible eye. "I mean, not that I mind, after all it's hot and- Ow!"
Bolin is cut short by Keira whacking him upside the head with one hand, the other still embracing Skye. "Shut it."
"Hey, that was uncalled for!"
"Was not," I say, and the two girls nod, "but maybe keep it down a little in public."
"You sound like Tear and Rowan." Keira says, and I guess their other teammates would be the ones to tell them that. "But you haven't even seen the worst of us yet."
"Yeah," Skye agrees with a sly smirk. "The night after we won in the first round, Keira and I got all kinds of-"
"They really don't need to hear that," Keira interrupts her girlfriend with a faint blush. Funny, I always had her pegged as the more forward one about things like this.
"Oh, right," I say, "Congrats on your win."
"Thanks," Keira says, "It's a shame ABRN got eliminated already."
"Yeah, but what can you do? You two are gonna be in the doubles round, right?" Skye nods with a proud smile. "Then you go on and win one for Haven."
"Got it. We should get back to the others, come on, Keira."
"Yeah. Bye, guys."
We all say goodbye as the two turn to leave. Wait... "Oh, one more thing, Skye." "Hm?" "If you see your sister tell her to give her all in her battle, I have a bet running on victory for VRDN."
Actually Valerie is only like Skye's half-sister or cousin or something, but they're easily as close as actual sisters, so de facto they are. "Can do. See ya." "See you."
Just as the majority of students begins to filter in, Neon gets there too, accompanied by her Team, finding four seats right next to us. "Hey guys! Meet my Team, Team FNKI. You already met Flynt yesterday, and these are..."
Apart from Neon and Flynt, whom we met yesterday during the movie night, there's another girl and a boy. Neon namedropped both of them at some point , but it's nice to get faces to go with the names.
Kyle is a pretty impressive sight, standing over 2 meters tall and appropriately bulky, clad head to toe in dull gray plate armor and with his brown hair in a short, practical cut. If the armor were just a bit shinier and he had a helmet, he'd look exactly like the knight from a fairy tale. Also he seems a bit taciturn, yet eloquent if he talks, creating a harsh contrast to the black-haired girl next to him.
Iris, from what I gathered a very close friend of Kyle's, is almost 2 whole heads smaller than him and way chatty and vivacious, if maybe not to the extreme of Neon. She's wearing a white suit with golden adornments and no sleeves and black sunglasses even indoors. She seems like a fun person to me, as does Flynt; only Kyle is a bit harder to gauge, but I guess he's gonna be okay too.
After a round of greetings and introductions we eat, chatting about various topics on the side. At some point Neon gets bored so she takes to launching cherries and grapes with her spoon for Bolin and me to catch with out mouths, and except for the one botched shot that hits Iris' forehead, the breakfast goes over mostly uneventful.
Until, after most of us are already done eating, Neon climbs onto the table and starts shouting over the din of the fully-packed dining hall. "Hey! Everyone! Listen!" After a few tries most of the noise dies down and everyone's attention turns to Neon. "Thank you. Now that I have your attention, I'd like to make a short announcement of utmost importance."
Why am I getting this creeping feeling of doom? The gaze Arslan gives me tells me she senses the same; nothing good can possibly come of this. "Ahem." After exaggeratedly clearing her throat, in one swift motion Neon takes a handful of tomatoes still on our table and tosses them in random directions towards the other students. Yep, called it. "FOOD FIGHT!" After a split second of stunned silence, all hell breaks loose.
AN: I apologize for the somewhat long wait for such a small chapter, the next two are going to be bigger. Also sorry for teasing the food fight and then not writing it, but I had a rather bad case of writer's block in regards to that scene, and I took almost a full week trying to come up with something before giving up. I do hope I'll get some ideas at some point, then I'll either go back and retroactively add the fight here, or just have Neon start another one down the line.
Any and all OC names comply with the color naming rule, even if I'm not gonna spell out every single one.
Speaking of which, the 8 Teams competing today all together form one big shoutout. And if you get it, from that context you can also logically predict the outcomes of all four fights. Anyone who gets all four winners right gets a cookie (disclaimer: Cookie may be metaphorical). | positive |

The decline in Israel’s appeal to Democrats is directly related to the wider awareness of the country’s increasingly authoritarian nature, its treatment of Palestinians, and its reluctance to take substantive steps toward peace. Pro-Israel liberals face a fundamental paradox trying to reconcile Israel’s illiberalism with their political values.

Effective alliances require that powerful states shoulder a far larger share of the alliance maintenance costs than other states, a premise that Donald Trump rejects.

The new imbroglio over the INF treaty does not mean a revival of the old Cold War practice of nuclear deterrence. However, it does reveal the inability of the West and Russia to find a way to deal with the latter’s inevitable return to the ranks of major powers, a need that was obvious even at the time the USSR collapsed.

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump appeared to recognize the obvious problem of the revolving door. But as the appointment of Patrick Shanahan, who spent 30 years at Boeing, as the Trump administration’s acting secretary of defense reveals, little has changed. America is indeed great again, if you happen to be one of those lucky enough to be moving back and forth between plum jobs in the Pentagon and the weapons industry.

Domestic troubles, declining popularity, and a decidedly hawkish anti-Iran foreign policy team may combine to make the perfect storm that pushes Donald Trump to pull the United States into a new war in the Middle East. | positive |

Is this a satellite shot of a country at night, lit up by glittering cities? Or perhaps a collection of raving microbes, pulsing to a neon rhythm? Nope, it’s a 600-billion-billion-kilometre-wide chunk of the universe – or at least a simulation of it.
Astronomers working on the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) are attempting to map galaxies and hydrogen gas clouds in the universe by looking for the light of super-bright quasars, luminous objects that are thought to be powered by black holes devouring matter. Galaxies and gas clouds leave an imprint on this quasar light as it passes through them, which can be used to deduce their positions.
To make sense of these imprints, the BOSS team create simulations of quasar light passing though cosmos-spanning gas clouds and compare them with the real thing. The picture above shows a simulation of a cube of the universe 65 million light years across. The red blobs are clusters of galaxies, while the blue filaments show regions of low-density filled with clouds of gas. | positive |
The big fines keep coming for Deutsche Bank.
The giant German lender was hit with about $630 million in penalties on Tuesday over a $10 billion Russian money-laundering scheme that involved its Moscow, New York and London branches.
It follows a $7.2 billion settlement Deutsche Bank reached with the U.S. Department of Justice last month over toxic mortgage assets and the $2.5 billion it agreed to pay in 2015 over interest rate manipulation.
The latest fines penalize Deutsche Bank (DB)'s failure to deal with a stock-trading scheme that enabled some of its clients in Russia to improperly move huge sums of money out of the country and into offshore accounts, according to regulators.
Related: DoJ vs big banks: $60 billion in fines for toxic mortgages
"The bank missed numerous opportunities to detect, investigate and stop the scheme due to extensive compliance failures, allowing the scheme to continue for years," the New York State Department of Financial Services said in a statement.
Deutsche Bank was fined $425 million by the New York agency and £163 million ($204 million) by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority.
"The failings of Deutsche Bank are simply unacceptable," said Mark Steward, the U.K. authority's director of enforcement. It said the way billions of dollars were transferred into overseas bank accounts in places like Cyprus, Estonia and Latvia was "highly suggestive of financial crime."
Under the U.S. settlement, the German lender will have to bring in an independent monitor to review how it handles banking secrecy and anti-money laundering rules.
Deutsche Bank said in a statement that it already has the latest U.S. and U.K. penalties covered in reserves it has set aside for legal bills.

Fears over whether the bank had enough money to pay its mounting fines from regulators escalated dramatically in September.
The original U.S. Justice Department demand for a $14 billion settlement over the toxic mortgage assets prompted Deutsche Bank shares to plunge to their lowest level in over 20 years. The stock has rebounded strongly since then as those worries eased, but it's still down around 15% since the start of last year.
Deutsche Bank said that it's still cooperating with other investigations by regulators and law enforcement agencies into the Russian trades.
The German lender said in September 2015 that it was closing its investment banking business in Russia and would in future work with Russian corporate clients from abroad. | positive |
The British National Party has lost its membership list - the whole thing has been published online.
The list includes names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all members up to September 2008. It also includes some people's ages, especially those under 18 - the BNP offers family membership for £40. Many entries also contain more personal comments about jobs or hobbies. That's how we know that that BNP members include receptionists, district nurses, amateur historians, pagans, line dancers and a male witch.
Members have unsurprisingly reacted with outrage. One commenter said: "I'm also on the list, what the f#ck is going on? I could lose my job." Another: "The most shocking thing is some of the comments by the names! God help anyone who is in the army, the pison [sic] service, health care, police officer or a teacher." Several professions in the UK are expected to refrain from party political activities. More outraged racists rightwingers here.
Various senior BNP figures are being blamed on blogs for the leak.
A spokesman for the BNP was unaware of the leak but said: "It wouldn't surprise me if someone has done this, but they'll be in trouble, not just under the Data Protection Act but also for contempt of court - there's an ongoing court case."
UKIP recently rejected overtures from the BNP suggesting an electoral pact. Meanwhile, UKIP's most famous ex-member, Robert Kilroy Silk is currently disporting himself on I'm a Celebrity...while collecting his MEP salary of course.
Tip of the hat to antifascist blog Lancaster Unity for the tip-off. ®

Social media’s most famous judge is at the forefront of a conservative legal movement that’s redefining what it means to be a judicial activist. And he’s on Donald Trump’s Supreme Court short list.
Social media’s most famous judge is at the forefront of a conservative legal movement that’s redefining what it means to be a judicial activist. And he’s on Donald Trump’s Supreme Court short list.
If you’d ever heard of Texas Supreme Court Justice Don R. Willett before Donald Trump put him on his Supreme Court short list, it was probably because you followed him on Twitter. Firing off 140-character missives on such subjects as the ups and downs of the Dallas Cowboys, the glory of the Greatest Generation, the splendor of Austin barbecue and, above all, the exploits of his three young children, “the wee Willetts,” the 50-year-old judge has attracted more than 60,000 followers, earned frequent mentions in the legal blogosphere and been named — by the Texas House of Representatives — the state’s “Tweeter Laureate.”
“I am real-time fact-checking my 7YO daughter’s bedtime,” @JusticeWillett wrote the night of the first presidential debate, in September. “I’m thirsty — FALSE; I’m hot — FALSE; I’m cold — FALSE; I need a band-aid — FALSE.”
“Wife says if this gets 5,727 [retweets]—1 for each day of our marriage—I can wear this (or Batman!) when we renew our vows!” the 11-year veteran of the state’s highest court wrote next to a picture of him dressed in a tricorn hat and Colonial garb.
“I’m often asked, ‘Justice Willett, what’s your judicial philosophy?’” the judge mused above a familiar Bill Watterson cartoon of a boy and his pet tiger. The answer? “I’m a devout Calvinist. And Hobbesian.”
Such Dad humor served with a side of corn makes Willett sound like a 2016 update of Ward Cleaver — a generous sitcom patriarch who happens to decide legal cases in his spare time — and when you talk to those who know him, that’s more or less the picture you get of the of offline man.
“He loves Texas, he loves Americana, he loves bacon,” said Willett’s friend Josh Blackman, a professor at Houston College of Law.
“His car is a hilarious mess. He has kids’ books everywhere and three booster seats in the back,” said Willett’s former clerk Marcella Burke, an associate in the Houston office of the firm Akin Gump. “He’s caring and loving and gentle — a very, very understanding boss.”
When Willett’s law school alma mater, Duke, plays basketball against its archrival, the University of North Carolina, Willett has been known to throw parties for his friends and former clerks. When the justice wants to achieve “what Oliver Wendell Holmes called ‘the secret joy of isolated thought,’” he spends all day contemplating legal decisions at his local Chick-fil-A. The late Antonin Scalia, whom Willett knew and admired, might have thrilled to Puccini operas, but Donny Willett is the kind of guy who would rather watch the game.
That, at least, was the side of Willett most people outside the loftier reaches of the legal world knew until recently. Then Scalia died in February, and the Republican majority of the U.S. Senate refused to consider the matter of his successor until after the presidential election. On May 18, under pressure from the right, Donald Trump released a list of 11 potential U.S. Supreme Court picks. The name that attracted the most attention was Don Willett.
The scrutiny wasn’t due to any doubts about Willett’s right-wing bona fides — those were as red-meat as you can get. When Willett last ran for re-election in 2012, he was endorsed by the likes of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, Christian revisionist historian David Barton and Empower Texans CEO Michael Quinn Sullivan. No, the reason Willett attracted the spotlight was Twitter. At one point, when a panelist reminded the audience that “judges in Texas are elected officials,” Willett mimed a boxer’s weigh-in pose, flexing his biceps like a happy and confident champ. Social media sleuths had combed through @JusticeWillett’s feed and found such Trump-mocking gems as “We’ll rebuild the Death Star. It’ll be amazing, believe me. And the rebels will pay for it. —Darth Trump.” Within the day, the websites of outlets from the Dallas Morning News to People exploded with variations of the headline “9 times Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett dissed Donald Trump.” While some political commentators thought Willett’s tweets would make his ultimate selection by the thin-skinned Trump unlikely, the president-elect might well favor a judge prone to the occasional insult. But the attention garnered by Willett’s Twitter jabs obscured a more relevant fact: While the justice portrays himself on social media as little more than a flag-waving, pun-inclined good old boy, he is also a heavyweight of constitutional jurisprudence, one of the leading lights of a polarizing legal movement that has upended the long-sacrosanct conservative doctrine of “judicial restraint,” the mantra of Scalia and Robert Bork.
In a series of high-profile opinions over the past half-decade, Willett has mapped out the contours of this position, championing what libertarian attorney Chip Mellor termed “judicial engagement,” a more aggressive approach to reviewing (and sometimes declaring unconstitutional) government regulations, particularly those that relate to economic and property rights.
Mellor is the co-founder of the Institute for Justice, an influential libertarian law firm started with seed money from Charles Koch. But Willett, whom Mellor endorsed for reelection in 2012, is a sitting judge, and his opinions have a real-world power that policy writing does not. Offering up phrases such as “police power cannot go unpoliced” and “liberty is not provided by government; liberty preexists government,” Willett has taken the language of judicial engagement and deployed it to explain why he and his colleagues have decided to strike down actual laws.
Willett’s most famous opinions have come in cases that are deceptively narrow, but which in fact offer a map to reshaping the role of the judiciary. His widely read concurrence in 2015’s Patel v. Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation sided with a majority that struck down a licensing regime for Texas eyebrow threaders that required 750 hours of training. But as Willett made clear, the case concerned deeper issues than the cosmetology education of Ashish Patel. The case, Willett wrote, was “fundamentally about the American Dream and the unalienable human right to pursue happiness without curtsying to government on bended knee.”
What Willett left ambiguous was exactly how far this unalienable human right extended and what exactly qualified as “curtsying.” Does his vision of judicial engagement involve nullifying only those laws and regulations that nearly everyone agrees are unreasonable and unfair? Or would a U.S. Supreme Court that followed Willett’s logic declare that everything from minimum-wage laws to labor-union organizing to environmental regulations is a constitutional infringement?
“What you don’t know with Willett is whether a decision like Patel is kind of the camel’s nose under the tent,” said Sandy Levinson, a left-leaning professor at the University of Texas Law School who admires Willett’s legal thinking, if not always his legal conclusions. “Is he going to keep going on and on with this opinion and become far more interventionist? If it is the camel’s nose, then maybe the safest thing to do is not give him the first inch.”
The first time I met Willett, he was in the midst of receiving a hero’s welcome. Sitting onstage at an Austin conference of the Federalist Society, a leading conservative legal group, he smiled as Diane Kozub, one of the organization’s Texas leaders, told the audience that Willett’s Patel concurrence had “warmed” her heart. “I felt myself pumping my fist a lot of times during the reading of it,” Kozub said, “and I suspect it would be the same with you all.”
Willett sported a polka dot bow tie, a shimmering gray blazer and a purple pocket square, and as his session on “Texas and regulation” commenced, he eagerly engaged the audience.
“This topic really lays bare a pretty spirited, pretty feisty debate, kind of roiling the legal community,” Willett said, in his characteristic blend of scholarly analysis and down-home speech. “It’s a debate that really does conjure legal buzzwords and legal pejoratives galore. You’ve got activism versus restraint. You’ve got deference versus dereliction. You’ve got adjudication versus abdication. And the rhetoric at times can get a little overheated.”
At one point, when a panelist reminded the audience that “judges in Texas are elected officials,” Willett mimed a boxer’s weigh-in pose, flexing his biceps like a happy and confident champ. In his last election, Willett had won nearly 80 percent of the vote.
Willett’s legal views are why he’s invited to speak at Federalist Society conferences, but it’s his personal warmth and up-from-the-bootstraps biography that make him a successful politician. He started tweeting as a means of voter outreach. He proudly touts not only his conservative résumé, but his bipartisan friendships. (Willett’s law school classmate Raphael Winick, now an assistant general counsel at Disney, told me that he’s donated to only two campaigns in his life: Willett’s for Texas Supreme Court and Bernie Sanders’ for president.)
When Willett gives interviews to the press, he does so almost entirely over email, allowing him to stick to talking points and recycle tried-and-true sentences word for word. Read about Willett, and you’re almost certain to hear about the unshakable work ethic of his truck-stop waitress mother, Doris (“In [her] 55 years of waitressing, she had walked roughly from the earth to the moon”), and his boyhood in the town of Talty (“so small our zip code began with a decimal!”), and his years with Greg Abbott’s “high-octane” (sometimes “high-voltage”) Attorney General’s office. “Must courts rubber-stamp even the most nonsensical encroachments on occupational freedom?” Willett asked about the state’s 750-hour training requirement for eyebrow threaders. Willett’s policy of careful, canny disclosure might be prudent for a sitting judge seeking to project impartiality, but it also seems to be part of his DNA. No one gets onto a Supreme Court short list unless he’s hugely ambitious, but, according to his old friends, Willett never came across as a striver. Everyone liked Donny, as he was called, and while his friends saw him as a natural and gregarious leader, many were surprised that his career as a political adviser, prosecutor and judge took off on such a heady trajectory. If he harbored lofty goals, he kept them to himself.
Willett is the adopted son of parents who didn’t graduate from high school, and he lost his father when he was 6. The Willetts lived out in the country, and with his father gone and his mother working long hours, the young Donny got used to spending time alone. He read everything he could, and spent a lot of time in the woods, hitting baseballs to his dog Tinker on meandering walks. Still, Willett hardly lived an isolated existence. He was a top student, a rodeo bull rider as a young teen and, later, an enthusiastic drummer who played at bars and clubs around Dallas.
“I was fairly well-rounded and participated in most everything,” Willett told me in an email. “Football, Little League, basketball, tennis, track (pole vault and discus), FFA and band throughout high school, student government and other extracurriculars, and was also very active in my church (choir, youth group, etc.). I didn’t carouse or have a curfew.”
Willett graduated from Forney High School in 1984 and began his undergraduate education at Baylor that year. It proved a good fit for a devout Baptist from North Texas. There, Willett triple-majored in economics, public administration and finance, regularly attended services at Columbus Avenue Baptist Church, and spent much of his free time volunteering for the university’s chamber of commerce, a men’s school-spirit organization that coordinated major campus events.
“We worked on [the chamber] so much we joked that if we’d gotten paid, we wouldn’t need retirement accounts,” Willett’s former roommate Cody Knowlton told me.
But while Willett dedicated himself to the group, Knowlton didn’t give much thought to his friend’s leadership capabilities.
“He never wore his smarts on his sleeve,” Knowlton said. “I had no inclination that Donny would go to law school until he walked into our apartment one day and said, ‘I’m going to Duke.’ That was the way he operated.”
At Duke, Willett cut a similar profile. Everyone knew he was a conservative Christian from small-town Texas, but he wore it lightly. He proudly cultivated friendships with people from backgrounds very different from his — among them future Obama appointee Todd Hughes, the nation’s first openly gay federal circuit court judge — and while he wasn’t a partier, he injected himself into the social scene. As the regular starting pitcher for his intramural softball team, Causa Mortis, Willett helped guide the club to back-to-back Duke Law School championships. (His nickname on the team: The Truth.)
Willett’s mentor at Duke, professor Thomas Metzloff, told me that the future Texas justice always struck him as public-service minded: “For Donny, this was never about ‘How can I make a lot of money at a big New York or D.C. firm.’” But neither Metzloff nor Willett’s peers imagined him as harboring specific ambitions for elected office or even being passionately political. “I was really surprised when he ended up working for Governor Bush and then President Bush,” Winick said. “I thought he might become a small-town lawyer — and be great at it.”
Willett’s entrance into politics, nonetheless, came swiftly. After Duke, he moved to Austin to clerk for 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Jerre S. Williams, a Jimmy Carter appointee, and afterward took a position at the firm of Haynes and Boone while moonlighting as a fellow at the conservative think tank Texas Public Policy Foundation. In 1996, he became an adviser to Governor George W. Bush, working on a wide range of issues, among them how to forge a closer relationship between religious institutions and the government. Willett followed Bush to Washington, D.C., to do similar work, but he had judicial aspirations and didn’t plan to stay in the capital long. In November 2002, a former Texas Supreme Court justice named Greg Abbott won the race for Texas attorney general and began assembling a team of young and talented right-wing lawyers who were tasked, Willett remembers, with “scouring the national legal landscape and positioning Texas at the vanguard of conservative legal dynamism.” Among Abbott’s first hires were two longtime Bush hands: Ted Cruz and Donny Willett.
Willett’s time in the Texas Attorney General’s office was short. In December 2004, Governor Rick Perry nominated Willett to the Supreme Court. Willett had never served as a judge, and some legal insiders groused that he was merely a political appointee. Willett’s state senator, Austin Democrat Gonzalo Barrientos, vetoed his selection. But a few months later — after Willett had moved to the district of Republican Senator Jeff Wentworth for what he said were family considerations — Perry nominated Willett again. This time he sailed through confirmation and took his place on the court.
When Willett gets a new class of law clerks, he assigns them two books co-written by Scalia, Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts and Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges. Willett told me he assigns the books because of the way they “methodically examine the bread and butter of modern-day appellate judging — statutory interpretation,” but he also admitted to enjoying Scalia’s writerly “gusto and occasional pyrotechnics.” As a Texas Supreme Court justice, Willett seems to have taken both sides of Scalia to heart.
In his opinions, Willett rarely misses an opportunity to reference pop culture or history, hopscotching between references to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Rube Goldberg machines and Alexis de Tocqueville — all the better if he can mix in a little home-state trivia.
As Willett wrote in 2011: “Intrepidity at the Alamo; entering the United States as the Republic of Texas; 58 Texas-born recipients of the Medal of Honor; Bob Wills and George Strait; Nolan Ryan and Babe Didrikson Zaharias; five Super Bowl titles (sadly none this millennium); Dr Pepper and the ‘little creamery’ in Brenham; deep-fried anything at the State Fair; a spirit of daring and rugged independence — the sources of Lone Star pride are innumerable.”
Such flourishes, though, are merely frosting, Willett’s idea of fun. During his time on the court, Willett has shown a wide-ranging curiosity, wrestling with whether bloggers should be considered members of the media, whether pet owners can sue for sentimental damages, and, most controversially, whether Texas’ school funding system is constitutional. (He marshalled all eight other justices to back his opinion that, for the first time in decades, it was.) But he has become best known for articulating a skeptical vision of state power, a robust view of individual rights, and a central role for the judiciary in striking a balance between the two.
Willett’s first opinion to attract major national attention came in 2010’s Robinson v. Crown Cork & Seal. The case involved a byzantine legal question: whether a 2003 tort-reform law could be applied retroactively to a widow’s lawsuit. But Willett, in siding with the majority view that said it couldn’t, drafted a concurrence that went beyond the statutory issues at hand and delved deep into the proper roles of the branches of government.
“Judges are properly deferential to legislative judgments in most matters,” Willett writes in his Robinson concurrence, “but at some epochal point, when police power becomes a convenient talisman waved to short-circuit our constitutional design, deference devolves into dereliction.” In other words, the Legislature had deployed its broad regulatory powers to trample a widow’s rights, and it was imperative for judges to intervene on such occasions.
In 2014, Willett argued a similar position in El-Ali v. Texas, a case that placed the state’s civil forfeiture practices before the court. Could police seize as contraband a vehicle that was involved in a crime even if its owner had nothing to do with the infraction? Willett thought such a policy placed government interest unfairly above individual property rights, ensnaring “those least capable of protecting themselves, poor Texans who usually capitulate without a fight because mounting a defense is too costly.”
After reading Willett’s Robinson concurrence, Washington Post columnist George F. Will, one of the first national figures to follow Willett’s legal opinions closely, had declared that its logic could be used to strike down the Obamacare’s individual mandate as an overreaching use of the Commerce Clause. Greg Abbott agreed. As he put it, Willett’s skeptical approach to government economic regulation was “the judicial remedy to Obamacare.”
But the case that made Willett into a judicial rock star was 2015’s Patel v. Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the lawsuit involving eyebrow threaders and their 750-hour training requirements. The Institute for Justice, which also represented Zaher El- Ali, had brought the suit on behalf of the threaders and was looking to raise broad constitutional issues. “I think Justice Willett is open to persuasion.” “Economic liberty cases are few and far between, and virtually all of them are litigated in federal court under the Fourteenth Amendment,” Willett wrote to me. “I recognized instantly what a landmark case it was.”
He made this plain in the case’s oral arguments. Less than a minute into the statements of Texas Assistant Solicitor General Dustin Howell, Willett interrupted him with a question that cut to the core of the issue:
“As a fundamental matter, does the state agree that its people have a constitutional right to earn an honest living free of arbitrary government interference?”
When Willett ran for his first full term on the Texas Supreme Court in 2006, he cast himself in familiar conservative language. “Every Texan I’ve met along the campaign trail expects one thing: for me to honor my commitment to judicial restraint,” he said at the time. It’s unlikely he will characterize himself like that again.
Over the past decade, the conservative judicial movement has split into two wings: One that remains committed to old-fashioned judicial restraint — frequently deferring to legislatures — and one that has found a use for judicial engagement, a more aggressive approach to reviewing legislative action. Nowhere has this split been more pronounced than in the two groups’ views of the U.S. Supreme Court’s infamous 1905 decision in Lochner v. New York, in which the justices struck down a state regulation limiting the working hours of bakery employees on the grounds that it violated an individual’s right of contract.
You won’t find the words “right of contract” in the Constitution, nor will you find “economic liberty” or, for that matter, a “right to privacy.” That’s because these are so-called unenumerated rights — individual liberties that may be implied in various portions of the Constitution, but which are never explicitly laid down. But which unenumerated rights exist? And to what extent? Because of this uncertainty, the unenumerated rights tend to produce the noisiest constitutional controversies, and, when they are defended, they lead to howls of “judicial activism.” Lochner laid bare just such a controversy.
In his Lochner dissent, Justice Holmes wrote that his colleagues had invented a “liberty of contract” in the Constitution in order to implement laissez faire capitalism and Social Darwinism. And for three decades after Lochner, courts routinely struck down laws on the basis that they interfered with individual economic liberty. In 1936, after the Supreme Court invalidated a New York minimum-wage law, Franklin D. Roosevelt griped that the judiciary, operating with Lochnerian logic, had established a “‘no man’s land’ where no government — state or federal — can function.”
But Lochner fell out of favor not long after, and over the past half century, conservatives led the way in casting the 1905 decision as the antithesis of responsible jurisprudence. When the liberal Supreme Courts under Chief Justices Earl Warren and Warren Burger handed down decisions such as Griswold v. Connecticut and Roe v. Wade, conservatives charged them with doing what the Lochner court had done: locating a made-up right in some vague passage in the Constitution and using it to justify their ideological biases. It was safer to have judges exercise “judicial restraint,” conservative legal scholars such as Bork felt, which meant giving a wide berth to legislators when they passed laws that affected the unenumerated rights — whether abortion restrictions or occupational regulations.
But starting in the 1980s, and especially during the presidency of Barack Obama, conservatives have been warming to the idea that judges can apply far more probing scrutiny to legislative actions relating to unenumerated rights. If liberals could strike down laws on the basis of a “right to privacy,” why, the thinking went, should conservatives be wary to challenge laws that encroached on economic and property rights? Willett’s concurrence in Patel was a full-throated endorsement of this new view.
“Must courts rubber-stamp even the most non-sensical encroachments on occupational freedom?” Willett asked about the state’s 750-hour training requirement for eyebrow threaders. “Are the most patently farcical and protectionist restrictions nigh unchallengeable, or are there, in fact, judicially enforceable limits?… Laws that impinge your constitutionally protected right to earn an honest living must not be preposterous.”
Some conservatives rejoiced at Willett’s gutsy opinion. “Is this the most libertarian legal opinion ever written?” asked Reason Magazine. “If Patel were applied in other states, the nationwide trend of fewer economic liberty victories in state court could be reversed,” read a story on the Federalist Society’s website. Once again, George Will found himself in lockstep with Willett, comparing the Texas judge favorably to Chief Justice John Roberts and suggesting, a year before Trump, that Willett would make a good pick for the U.S. Supreme Court.
But the opinion was far from universally embraced. Progressives wondered if Willett in calling for “economic liberty” to be treated as a central constitutional right had his sights set on returning America to the Lochner era. New York magazine’s Ed Kilgore opined that Willett might well consider a “revival of early-20th-century jurisprudence invalidating social programs and business regulations on a broad scale.” Austin attorney and activist Fred Lewis told me he felt Patel was “one of the rankest attempts at judicial activism that [he’d] seen in many years,” an attempt to impose libertarian market ideas by finding non-existent economic rights in the Texas Constitution.
“Right-wing legal think tanks look for a case like Patel — where there’s a weak public purpose for the economic license — and use it to try to resurrect Lochner,” Lewis said. “Courts used Lochner to knock down wage and hour laws, union laws, safety at the workplace laws. This isn’t theoretical. This happened.”
A few members of Willett’s own court of nine conservative Republican judges were perhaps equally dismayed. In his dissent, Chief Justice Nathan Hecht pilloried the court’s majority — and Willett, in particular — for opening a Pandora’s box of unchecked power from the bench. “Judicial usurpation of authority over the State’s policies may provide protection for the economic liberties on which the concurrence waxes eloquent,” Hecht wrote. “But it also gives rise to such decisions as Roe v. Wade.” Hecht viewed his court like Holmes had viewed his: They’d made an economic policy decision, then figured out a judicial approach to justify it.
When considering Willett’s Patel concurrence, the question for libertarians, old-line judicial conservatives and progressives was the same: How far would Willett and other judicial engagement advocates take such a decision? Would a court with a majority of engagement-inclined jurists realize Lewis’ worst fears about a Lochner revival? Or was Willett’s opinion merely an invitation to invalidate economic regulations like the eyebrow-threading requirements, which many liberals and conservatives agreed were indeed “preposterous”?
Levinson, the UT law professor, told me that after reading Willett’s Patel concurrence, he felt that “a lot of that particular opinion makes you feel that you’re at a rally for libertarians — he quotes Jefferson and Milton Friedman in certain ways and makes you think the state is a menace.” But Levinson also saw a more curious, probing strain. The “more sober pages,” Levinson felt, were an effort to find an “intermediate position” between Borkian judicial restraint, which would leave nearly all economic laws unchallenged, and the kind of unfettered libertarian judicial intervention that would slash and burn regulation until all that was left was a “minimalist night-watchman state.”
When I spoke with Wallace Jefferson, chief justice for most of Willett’s tenure on the Texas Supreme Court (he retired in 2013) and a widely respected Republican moderate, I asked him whether he felt that Willett’s Patel concurrence was indeed “the camel’s nose under the tent.” Did he think, based on years serving with him, that Willett would return Texas, and maybe the entire country, to the Lochner era if given the chance?
“The only way I can answer your question is that that case was about eyebrow threading,” Jefferson said. “I don’t know whether Justice Willett would come to the same result with different facts and different issues — environmental regulation, oversight of the medical profession, the energy industry, etc. And I think that’s a good thing that I don’t know. I think Justice Willett is open to persuasion.”
Willett, for his part, declined to get into the details. “It’d be imprudent to prejudge specific economic regulations,” he wrote to me, but, he added, “without question, many licensure rules are justified by legitimate public health and safety concerns.” Future cases would be needed to better define the line between what was “legitimate” and what was not.
Few judges grow old on the Texas Supreme Court. Of the nine current members, all but Hecht joined after 2004. “With the continued politicization of judicial races, it’s more of a young person’s game now,” former Chief Justice Tom Phillips told me. “There aren’t a whole lot of 70-year-olds who want to dial for dollars and ride in parades across the state.” Phillips and Jefferson retired to private appellate practice at 54 and 50, respectively. Many other justices have made similar moves at similar ages.
But the court has also been a launching pad for political careers. Abbott, U.S. Senator John Cornyn, Austin-area Congressman Lloyd Doggett and former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales all spent time as Texas Supreme Court justices in the 1990s.
Before the last statewide election, Willett was considered a potential candidate for Texas attorney general, and he might well seek that office one day. But with Trump in the White House, Willett’s more likely future appears to be in the federal judiciary, a perch that would give him far more power to spread the gospel of judicial engagement than his current office. It’s hard for a Texas Supreme Court justice to establish economic liberty as a fundamental right. An influential federal judge, on the other hand, really could move the country in that direction, particularly if he’s on the Supreme Court and has the political skill to convince four of his colleagues to follow his thinking.
Federal judicial appointments are for life, and, as justices such as John Paul Stevens, David Souter and even John Roberts have shown, judges can move in surprising directions. Willett has a more extensive trail of opinions and partisan activities than Stevens, Souter or Roberts, and if Trump nominated him to the federal bench, he would be in for a crushing confirmation hearing in which Lochner, Patel and economic liberty would be scrutinized. Democratic senators would no doubt cast him as a revanchist radical eager to re-examine long-settled pillars of the welfare state, and Willett might well turn out to be just that. George Will told me that he thinks Willett’s closest analog on the current Supreme Court is Clarence Thomas, because Thomas is “least likely to genuflect before the altar of stare decisis” — the honoring of judicial precedent. “Clarence’s view is if the court made a mistake in the past, you should undo it,” Will said. In addition to rulings that give legislatures wide-ranging powers over economic regulation, one imagines Willett might regard Roe v. Wade as one of those mistakes.
But Willett could also prove to be an unexpected thorn in the side of a president eager to enact his agenda by fiat, particularly if he reaches for new and sweeping “police powers.” “If Donald Trump recognized that Willett would invalidate regulations that his government passed, he wouldn’t be so keen on him anymore,” Blackman, the Houston College of Law professor, told me. “I think there could be buyer’s remorse.” If Willett or another like-minded judge ascends to the court, the Trump presidency may very well put to the test whether judicial engagement is a coherent constitutional philosophy that defends individual liberties, or is, as its opponents allege, merely a conservative policy prescription with a hazy legal justification.
In late September, Willett appeared on a panel at the Texas Tribune Festival titled “Supreme Court Confidential.” No secrets were spilled over the course of the hourlong discussion, but Willett played the crowd expertly. He trotted out Rube Goldberg and Godfather references, and talked exuberantly about his Twitter feed and how it would be “political malpractice” not to use it. Then Willett got the question he’d certainly been anticipating, but still felt uncomfortable answering.
“You mentioned malpractice — it would be journalistic malpractice if I didn’t ask you this,” began the moderator, George Haj, who oversees legal trade publications, including The American Lawyer and Law.com. “Donald Trump put you on one of his short lists of people he would consider for the U.S. Supreme Court. President-elect Trump calls you and says, ‘Justice Willett, I’d like to nominate you for Supreme Court.’ What do you say?”
A grimace spread across Willett’s face, and he tipped forward uneasily in his chair. There was no doubt about what his answer in such a scenario would be — what judge could refuse? — but Willett had long ago decided that being coy about his ambitions was the most prudent course, and if he could do it with a joke and a smile, all the better.
“Couldn’t I be the U.S. Tweeter Laureate instead?” Willett asked. | positive |

In a brazen example of putting ideology ahead of reality, Senate Republicans seem to have pressured the Congressional Research Service to withdraw a report debunking conservative economic orthodoxy. Cutting tax rates at the top appears “to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie,” the report said. “However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.” So charging the rich lower tax rates doesn’t promote economic growth; it merely increases economic inequality.
The CRS is a highly respected, independent agency that prepares reports for members of Congress and routinely issues findings that disappoint or even irritate their clients, who usually just grin and bear it, or at least bear it. But Congressional Republicans seem to think that the CRS should function like Pravda.
In recent months, Republicans have been on a paranoid tear. They attacked the private and equally authoritative Tax Policy Center because it bothered to analyze Mitt Romney’s tax plan and found that it’s pretty much impossible to cut taxes by 20 percent without increasing the deficit. And they claimed there was a conspiracy at the Bureau of Labor Statistics when it reported last month that the unemployment rate had dipped below 8 percent.
Don Stewart, a spokesman for the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, said Mr. McConnell and other senators “raised concerns about the methodology and other flaws” in the CRS report. Antonia Ferrier, a spokeswoman for the Senate Finance Committee, said the panel had relayed its objections to the CRS. “We had a good discussion,” she said, “Then it was pulled.”
In case you don’t speak fluent bureaucratese, “good discussion” means that the Republicans made it clear the report had to go. And “it was pulled” means the CRS obeyed. The Times quoted a person with knowledge of the deliberations as saying the decision on Sept. 28 to withdraw the report was “made against the advice of the research service’s economics division” and that the author, Thomas Hungerford, stood by its findings.
Whatever their substantive objections to the report, Senate Republican aides told the Times that they objected to the use of the terms “Bush tax cuts” and “tax cuts for the rich” in the document. While those may not count as strictly academic descriptions, they’re perfectly accurate. Perhaps Republicans expected the CRS to call rich people “job creators”?

Overview
I built an automated aquarium that can control its own lighting and record temperatures and send notifications for anomalous readings.
Technical Setup
This is a Raspberry Pi 2-powered aquarium system and I monitor temperatures and control lighting. Python scripts and Crontab scheduling read the water and ambient temperatures, sending an email notification via IFTTT if the readings were out of range.
The data was recorded in a MySQL database. This was accessed using a PHP web page on an Apache server. The PHP called a Python script to read the data from the database, graphing the output through a Google API.
Temperature
Having discovered Cayenne this morning, I migrated the temperature monitoring to Cayenne. It was very easy to do, and I had no problems. I will migrate the lighting control at a later date.
Temperature monitoring is via a pair of waterproof D18B20. One in the water, the other on the outside of the tank.
Lighting
Blue and White 12V LED lighting is controlled by a pair of relays. The LEDs are basic 12V as seen underneath toy racer cars and are very cheap on eBay: less than £2 for 5! By switching different combinations, I can simulate different times of the day.
Daytime = White
Night = Blue
Morning/Evening = dimmed Blue/White
The advantage of the cheap lights is that for under a fiver, I can replace all the lights yearly, and it is very easy to do. When I replace these, I will replace the 12V distribution board so the strips will connect via screw connectors.
Camera
The camera was streaming live video via RPi Cam Control, but it was very water dependent. It need to be full to the brim, which the Catfish didn't like, they like a pocket of air above the surface. I ended up removing the camera for my telescope, and then for a reversing cam for my car!
Alerts

Scheduling
Scheduling will set the lighting according to set times of the day, although I would like to link it to sunrise/sunset times.
Feeding
I'll work on a feed system sometime, using a wood auger as an Archimedes screw, driven by a stepper motor.
Fish Tank
My tank is a Fluval Edge 46-liter tank with a solid top. The way I made the housing, it just sits on top, but the original lights are still there if needed. Painting the inside of the housing with white spray paint would probably be a good improvement.
The housing was made over a couple of days because the glue I had needed time to set. The install of the components was done on Christmas Day afternoon. The basic coding as done in advance, and then tweaked in situation.

KENT, Wash. - A collaborative law enforcement effort targeting gun violence in South King County is showing promising trends. In the first four months of 2017, there were 16 gun-related homicides and 48 shootings in which people were hit but survived.
Fourteen local, state and federal agencies have been working on a task force to combat the gun violence.
"Over the past two months, we have seen a reduction in shooting incidents per month from over 65 per month average over the first four months down to 36 shootings per month in the past two months,” said Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas.
One area where he says police remain challenged is youth and firearms. Much of the violence has been carried out by juveniles recruited by gang leaders because there is little accountability for gun violations in the juvenile justice system.
“We are going to get out there and we are going to catch these shooters and we’re gonna take those off the streets,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “Our No. 2 message is to the parents of these juveniles. Get these kids out of gangs. Keep them away from guns, or your kids are gonna get killed."
Chief Thomas pointed to an incident in mid-March on a bus filled with 62 elementary kids as an example. Two teens were arrested after threatening to kill a bus driver with a fully loaded firearm with an additional 30 round magazine.
“As our detectives interviewed the bus driver the next day, he was still sobbing. He was so upset and scared because he felt that he was going to be shot that day and the danger it exposed the children too,” said Chief Thomas. The juvenile court sentenced the 15 and 16-year-old boys to less than a month in detention.
Last week during a U.S. Marshals led sweep of violent offenders in South King County dubbed Operation Quiet Nights, officers arrested 26 suspects involved in gang violence including 7 juveniles for felony firearms violations.
“Five of those subjects are already back out on the streets,” Thomas said.
The fugitive sweep was planned in advance of summer when gun violence typically heats up between rival groups and gangs.
“After this operation is over, we are going to continue to maintain pressure on these gang members in South King County. We are going to continue to look for anybody with an active warrant who has gang connections,” said Supervisory Deputy Michael Leigh with the U.S. Marshals Pacific NW Violent Offender Task Force.
The goal is to serve as a visible reminder to the those involved in gun violence in South King County that law enforcement is actively working to get them off the streets.
"Prior to the initiative, we were averaging over 11 shootings where people were hit per month and we are now down to four shooting where people were hit per month,” Thomas said. | positive |
Harding called for "A Return to Normalcy."
Return to normalcy, a return to the way of life before World War I, was United States presidential candidate Warren G. Harding's campaign slogan for the election of 1920. Although detractors of the time tried to belittle the word "normalcy" as a neologism as well as a malapropism, saying that it was poorly coined by Harding (as opposed to the more accepted term normality), there was contemporaneous discussion and evidence that normalcy had been listed in dictionaries as far back as 1857.[1][2] Harding's promise was to return the United States' prewar mentality, without the thought of war tainting the minds of the American people. To sum up his points, he stated:
"America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality."[3]
1920 election [ edit ]
Harding's position attracted support and was important during the United States presidential election, 1920, which he won with 60.3% of the popular vote.[4]
During the campaign, Harding addressed the issue of the word's origin, claiming that "normalcy" but not "normality" appeared in his dictionary:
I have noticed that word caused considerable news editors to change it to "normality". I have looked for "normality" in my dictionary and I do not find it there. "Normalcy", however, I did find, and it is a good word.[5]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One year ago today, the New England Patriots were crushed by the Kansas City Chiefs 41-14 on ESPN's Monday Night Football. The team dropped to 2-2, and media coverage of the Patriots' demise and quarterback Tom Brady's decline, intensified.
Some of the talking points at the time:
The 41 points allowed were tied for the most given up by a Bill Belichick-led Patriots team (since 2000).
The 27-point loss was the second-largest for the Patriots under Belichick.
Had the Patriots surrounded Brady with enough talent?
Brady posted a Total QBR of 22.2, his third lowest on the road since ESPN Stats & Information began tracking the information in 2006.
Brady was completing just 32 percent of his passes thrown more than 10 yards downfield. That was the worst rate in the NFL among the quarterbacks who started every game until that point.
Behind the scenes, however, Belichick actually felt the second half of that game was the start of the team's turnaround. He liked the way the team competed given the dynamics in play.
And we all know what unfolded from there, the Patriots going on to win the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion.
Since that time, here are some of the other key points (via ESPN Stats & Information) that reflect how that game began the Patriots' turnaround: | positive |

Speak with our financial experts today to find the best options for your financial situation. get a quote Contact Us What is an annuity? Annuities are contractually-executed, relatively low-risk investment products. The insured pays a life insurance company a lump-sum premium at the start of the contract. That money is to be paid back to the insured in fixed, incremental amounts, over some future time period (predetermined by the insured). The insurer invests the premium. The resulting profit/return on investment fund the payments received by the insured, and, compensate the insurer. Conventional annuity contracts provide a predictable, guaranteed stream of future income (e.g., for retirement) until the death(s) of the beneficiaries(s) named in the contract, or, until a future termination date – whichever occurs first. These financial instruments have been used to accumulate funds and provide significant and sudden increases in personal income (via future, lump-sum withdrawals), all while legally avoiding the taxes (e.g., income-, capital gains-, estate-) that would otherwise be assessed on them. Immediate annuities vs. deferred annuities An immediate annuity is an insurance policy which, in exchange for a sum of money, guarantees that the issuer will make a series of payments. These payments may be either level or increasing periodic payments for a fixed term of years or until the ending of a life or two lives, or even whichever is longer. A deferred annuity is a contract that is chiefly a vehicle for accumulating savings with a view to eventually distribute them either in the manner of an immediate annuity or as a lump-sum payment Contact us to learn more about the right annuity for you.

Productivity porn
It’s like a finger pointing at the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!– Bruce Lee.
The internet is full of productivity tips and techniques, more accurately known as productivity porn. It’s like McDonalds trying to sell you healthy food. You know that is what you should eat, but when you actually get there you end up eating the nutrition-free fast food.
And I plead guilty. I’ve tried them all. Every now and then I stare into the chaotic abyss of the stuff I need to keep on top of, and decide what will save me is a new system. Of course, it doesn’t.
I’ve learned a few things the hard way that are not often mentioned.
If you really deeply care about something, you will do it. You will do it without needing a list or a system or a reminder. No, your brain will not feel cluttered by the burden of having to remember it. If it happens to be a complex task with many steps, you’ll make a list, without thinking “oh look I’m doing GTD.”
So what do you need a system for? You need it for chores. The stuff you don’t want to do, but you need to. The stuff which is easy put off but will hurt in due time. Stuff like paying bills and calling customer service.
Do not confuse activity for progress. Sometimes blind activity can be a palliative, a false reassurance that we are moving forward. It takes courage to stop and ask if what is being done is actually having any impact–on our lives and our work and our happiness. We know the answer will often make us wince. | positive |

Statsministerens kontor tar direkte kontakt med de 23 byene og kommunene i kjølvannet av Politiets sikkerhetstjenestes (PST) advarsler om manglende beredskap eller forebyggende aktivitet flere steder, melder Aftenposten.
– Den økende radikaliseringen til ekstrem islamisme og det økende antall nordmenn som blir fremmedkrigere, er en av de største utfordringene vi står foran, sier statsministeren.
Ansvar
Listen på 23 byer og kommuner fra Tromsø i nord til Kristiansand i sør er satt sammen etter innspill fra blant andre PST. Forebyggingen må skje raskere, og det må skje der folk bor, mener Solberg. Noen av kommunene har allerede tatt grep, men i brevet til ordførerne tydeliggjør Solberg kommunenes ansvar for å forhindre radikalisering.
De som får brevet, er Tromsø, Harstad, Bodø, Trondheim, Ålesund, Bergen, Stavanger, Sandnes, Kristiansand, Skien, Porsgrunn, Larvik, Tønsberg, Fredrikstad, Halden, Sarpsborg, Moss, Drammen, Skedsmo, Hønefoss, Gjøvik, Hamar og Lillehammer.
Ifølge Aftenposten kommer oppfordringen etter at PST tidligere i år varslet regjeringen om at radikalisering av ungdom til ytterliggående islamisme skjer praktisk talt i hele Norge, ikke bare på Østlandet.
Mange indikasjoner
Bergens Tidende skriver lørdag at minst halvparten av landets 27 politidistrikter har indikasjoner på at personer har reist til borgerkrigen i Syria. Lokale PST-sjefer i 15 politidistrikter over hele landet opplyser at de med sikkerhet vet om personer som har reist til konfliktområdet, eller at de har sterke indikasjoner på dette.
PST kjenner til rundt 60 personer som har reist til Syria og Irak, og mener å vite at rundt ti av disse er drept. PST frykter at mange av dem vil komme radikalisert og våpentrente tilbake og utgjøre en betydelig sikkerhetsrisiko i mange år fremover.
Foreløpig er det imidlertid lav risiko for terror fra hjemvendte Syria-farere, slår forsker Thomas Hegghammer ved Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt (FFI) fast i en kronikk på CNNs nettsider denne uka. Men han legger til at dette kan endre seg raskt.
Også i PST fastslås det at få av dem som reiser, faktisk kommer tilbake.
– Slik situasjonen er nå, er det nesten ingen av dem som reiser ut, som kommer tilbake til Norge de siste månedene. Vi har en situasjon nå der flere av dem som reiser til Syria, er blitt drept. Slik det ser ut nå, så er det mange som overlever, som heller ikke kommer tilbake, sa seniorrådgiver Martin Bernsen i PST til NTB fredag. (©NTB) | positive |

Korean Olympic job marred by mudslinging By Yonhap Published : Jan 15, 2021 - 14:22 Updated : Jan 15, 2021 - 14:22 | ◀ Back to List More article by this Writer This photo provided by the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) shows four candidates for the KSOC president election before their televised debate in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on Jan. 9, 2021. From left are Yoo Joon-sang, Lee Kee-heung, Lee Jong-kul and Kang Shin-wook. (Korean Sport & Olympic Committee) The race for the top position at the national Olympic committee has been marred by mudslinging, accusations and subsequent denials, with the four candidates busy taking shots at one another rather than making concrete pledges to improve sports in the country. Lee Kee-heung is going for a second four-year term as the head of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC). He's up against three opponents: Lee Jong-kul, a five-term legislator and former head of the Korea Basketball Association; Yoo Joon-sang, a four-term lawmaker and current president of the Korea Sailing Federation; and Kang Shin-wook, a university professor and former head of the Korean Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. The election is Monday, with 2,170 voters -- selected from the KSOC, its member federations, provincial, municipal and other regional sports associations -- set to participate in online voting from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Lee Kee-heung, who is also a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has had a bull's-eye on his back since the campaign began on Dec. 30 last year. The candidates had their first televised debate last Saturday and they touched upon a wide range of issues, such as eliminating abuse in sports, promoting sports participation among the public and ensuring more financial independence for the KSOC. Much of that seemed to have been forgotten by Tuesday. Lee Jong-kul filed a complaint with Songpa Police in southeastern Seoul against Lee Kee-heung, accusing the current KSOC chief of embezzlement and abuse of authority. Lee Kee-heung responded by also filing a criminal complaint against his opponent on charges of spreading false information. During that TV debate, Lee Jong-kul claimed that Lee Kee-heung had forced KSOC member associations to hire his lineal descendants and that the latter had illegally concealed those family members' salaries. Lee Kee-heung, in turn, has said his rival has greatly defamed his character with wrong information. Kang, meanwhile, has accused other candidates of attempting to force him to quit. Things got so out of control over the weekend that the four candidates couldn't even agree to hold a second TV debate. It had been scheduled for Thursday but the KSOC's election committee decided to cancel it on Monday. It said only two of the four men agreed to it, and the two others declined that opportunity. The election body needed unanimous support from all four candidates to stage the second debate. The committee is also looking into an allegation that one of the candidates had been illegally conducting phone surveys. Candidates are only allowed to contact voters directly to seek support, but they can't commission a third party to run surveys on voters. The committee said it had received an anonymous tip regarding illicit surveys, and the candidate who is found to have done so will be duly penalized.

I am relatively new to using SublimeText as part of my development process, however the bit I have seen is very convincing and I'm hoping to include it even more as time progresses. Undoubtedly, the number one feature of SublimeText is the ability to include an unlimited number of open-source plugins (without any plugins it's simply a more stylish Notepad). Therefore this list is not definitive and I would greatly appreciate your feedback or other recommended plugins (for front-end web development) which we could include in this list.
For starters, download SublimeText from their website. I am using SublimeText 2 since version 3 is still in Beta so the below plugins are for Version 2. Whilst the portable version offers the same functionality as the installed one (minus the context menu); I recommend using the installed version unless you intend to purchase a licence. The reason is that occassionally a popup will appear reminding you that you are using an unlicenced version; whilst using the portable version, the same popup will appear every time you open the program.
1. Package Control
Yep, the first plugin on our list is a package to install more packages (kinda like Inception). The Package Control plugin facilitates managing your pacakges, installing, removing or changing shortcuts. Installing it will also be a bit more complicated, however also relatively simple.
Open up your console (View > Show Console) and run the code snippet on this page: https://sublime.wbond.net/installation. Once you restart SublimeText, you will have this installed successfully. To utilize it, simply press Ctrl+Shift+P to bring up the Command Palette and to install a new package, write out
Package Control: Install Package
2. Emmet
Emmet is used to improve your HTML & CSS workflow by writing CSS-like expressions that are dynamically parsed to output HTML/XML or CSS. Technically this could also be used with other programming languages, although I haven't tried it and would be eager to hear your feedback.
div.container>ul.generic-list>lorem10.item*4
Go to the end of the line and press Ctrl+e and watch the magic happen:
<div class="container"> <ul class="generic-list"> <li class="item">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Ratione, eius.</li> <li class="item">Earum optio, dolorum animi hic asperiores reprehenderit eum facilis cumque.</li> <li class="item">Eius consequatur soluta minus corporis illo aspernatur provident sequi cumque?</li> <li class="item">Eum officia quaerat dolore aliquid reprehenderit, sit placeat consequuntur sint.</li> </ul> </div>
3. Git
If Git is your preferred source control, then you should consider including it in SublimeText as it includes some shortcuts and commands, such as Git: Add, Git: Pull, Git: Commit...etc. Not much more to say here.
4. HTML/CSS/JS Prettify
I am one of those developers that despises untidy code. No indentation, no idea when to start a new line...etc; drives me nuts. Visual Studio has a shortcut for Format Selection (Ctrl+K Ctrl+F) which formats your code into something legible and I used to run this shortcut every few mins (almost spastically). Once using SublimeText, I had to take care of this myself, resulting in me getting a bit lazy and my code losing it's syntactic beauty.
HTML/CSS/JS Prettify is one of my favourite plugins, just highlight your code and press Ctrl+Shift+H and it turns this:
<div><ul class="generic-list"><li class="item">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Nostrum, praesentium!</li> <li class="item">Rerum porro rem iste aliquam vel recusandae officiis alias quisquam?</li> </ul></div>
into this gorgeousness:
<div> <ul class="generic-list"> <li class="item">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Nostrum, praesentium!</li> <li class="item">Rerum porro rem iste aliquam vel recusandae officiis alias quisquam?</li> </ul> </div>
5. TextMate SCSS
If you have read some of our previous blogs on Dev Tools, you might now that we are using SASS to build our stylesheets. Another great plugin for SASS developers, is TextMate SCSS which offers intellisense and adds some trendy colours to your *.scss files.
6. Terminal
Are you a Windows user who hates navigating to the project folder through the command prompt? Using theTerminal package, simply Ctrl+Shift+T and you can open the terminal (PowerShell in Windows) in the file's working directory. Especially great for when you're using grunt.
7. SublimeLinter
Last but not least, a SublimeLinter; plugin that "lints" (is that even a word?) files for style and potential errors, including marking some special annotations such as "TODO". SublimeLinter runs in the background so there are no shortcuts, but you are required to install the separate lint plugins (ex: csslint) through npm and make sure that your plugins are available in your PATH environment variable.
npm install -g csslint
Example:
As I have mentioned, I am relatively new to the world of SublimeText, so feel free to leave a comment in the box below with your suggestions.
8. SideBarEnhancements
UPDATE: I had to add SideBarEnhancements, which creates a pane on the left of your screen from where you could see your open files, browse between files and folders in your project, create new files...etc. Definitely recommended. Unfortunately the one for Sublime Text 2 is discontinued, but you could find it here. You will need to open the folder where you have your packages installed (Preferences > Browse Packages) and paste the extracted folder into that directory. Enjoy.
Thank you and have a fantastic weekend. | positive |

Following his 27-point performance on Saturday, Johnson was named the A-10 Rookie of the Week. The 5’11” guard finished the game against the Minutemen with a game-high 27 points, which was his second 27-point game of the season. A majority of Johnson’s production came in the second half, when he scored 16 points, including a crucial basketball with :10 seconds left that extended Duquesne’s lead back to 5 points. Coach D on Jan 10 ROW @_jackiejohnson1 #GoDukes pic.twitter.com/t1hgbgJicN — Duquesne Basketball (@DuqMBB) January 10, 2022 For the season, Johnson is averaging 9.6 points and shooting 48% from the field and 44% from 3-point range in 17.6 minutes per game. In the last four games where his minutes have increased to 25 per game, Johnson is averaging 16 points. Johnson joins fellow guard Primo Spears, as Dukes that have won A-10 Rookie of the Week honors this 2021-22 season. Duquesne (6-7, 1-0) will look to get their overall record back to .500 and increase their win streak to four games on Wednesday when they take on Fordham (8-5, 1-0).

Wolff believes that the sport needs challenging tracks where mistakes can be punished.
“Two weeks ago I was on the Isle of Man, looking at the TT, and I found it very spectacular,” said Wolff.
“I think Baku is a spectacular track. It's just what we need in F1, although I can understand from the driver's perspective it needs to be as safe as possible.
“But one of the areas where F1 needs to improve is nobody wants to see racing on supermarket parkings, with run-off areas that are miles wide and where you can rejoin if you make a mistake.
"This makes all the difference, and therefore without having driven a car here, and this is why my view is probably subjective and I can't feel what the drivers feel, I think this is just what we need.”
Open race
Wolff admits that he has no idea how Sunday's race will pan out. “It's quite interesting actually because we don't know.
"You have seen the massive pile-up in GP2, and hopefully all the drivers have seen that, our drivers. Then you have this long straight where we expect a lot of overtaking.
"But I guess the race could be dominated by safety cars, or virtual safety cars. So I don't really know what to expect,” he added.
Although Mercedes have dominated the weekend in terms of pure pace – and its customers have also shown well – Wolff has downplayed the role played by speed on the straight.
“If you look at the speed traces, the gap doesn't come from straight line speed. We are actually not among the fastest teams on the straight line. But it comes more from the twisty parts around the old town.
"So I think it's a combination of a very aerodynamically efficient car, mechanical grip, horsepower and driveability.
"And then obviously the way you simulate and the way we put the car on the track on Friday gave us a big advantage, because the car was spot-on in the tyre window. The gaps are larger than expected."
He did concede that the power unit was working well: “The Mercedes engine, and I wouldn't say sheer crank power, seems to be a good power unit for Baku.
"I think there is probably more in it than just power, but it comes down to energy deployment, driveabilty, torque deployment, maybe lots of factors that make the power unit more competitive than the others.”
Wolff says he's not concerned about tyre warm-up being a problem for Mercedes in the race, despite the drivers running multiple laps in qualifying.
“I think that we are not worse on the first flying lap than the others. We tried to optimise it and found out that the second lap was a tiny bit better, and you could see that most of the teams they weren't quite sure.
"The Ferraris were doing second and fourth lap, and then they switched to fourth lap, the Toro Rossos did the first lap, the Force Indias switched as well. So it was not clear cut today. We were experimenting a little bit.” | positive |

Officer Daryl Turner, president of the Portland Police Association, (left) with former Portland police Chief Mike Reese, patrolling Old Town together after Turner was sworn in as the union president in 2010.
(The Oregonian)
A disturbing pattern of police union intimidation is threatening the integrity of Portland's civilian police oversight system, City Auditor Mary Hull Caballero alleged Thursday.
Hull Caballero, who was elected last year and took office in January, oversees the city's Independent Police Review Division, the intake center for complaints against police.
She took her concerns to Mayor Charlie Hales and the City Council last week but was dissatisfied with Hales' response, she told The Oregonian/OregonLive on Thursday.
Her decision to go public with the explosive accusation is the first sign that she is unafraid to call out police officials, following in the steps of her predecessor, LaVonne Griffin-Valade.
Hull Caballero made three allegations:
* That a police chief - whom she didn't name but whom Hales indicated was former Chief Mike Reese -- leaked confidential information to the union from a 2013 police background check of an IPR applicant who was hired as an investigator;
* That police union President Daryl Turner harassed and intimidated a second IPR investigator in 2014;
* And that the union has filed complaints against the IPR -- including accusing a third investigator of racial discrimination -- intending to hinder its work.
"It's a pattern of behavior that appears to me to be meant to chill or obstruct the independent investigations," Hull Caballero said in an interview.
Mary Hull Caballero took over as Portland's elected auditor in January.
Turner declined to address the allegations Thursday other than to say he's disappointed in the "personal attack on my credibility and integrity."
Hales, through his spokesman, declined to comment Thursday. In a memo last week shared by Hull Caballero, he placed any potential blame for the leak on Reese, who was replaced as chief in January by Larry O'Dea.
Reese declined to comment Thursday. O'Dea said Thursday that he did not leak confidential information.
Constantin Severe, IPR director, said the leak threatens to undermine the independence of an agency already struggling to gain legitimacy with a skeptical public. He worries the police actions may hinder the IPR's work and suppress public complaints.
Portland created the Independent Police Review Division in 2001 to accept complaints and recommend police policy changes. The City Council gave the division power to conduct its own investigations last year, following a recommendation by the U.S. Department of Justice after it concluded that Portland police engaged in a pattern of excessive force against people with mental illness.
The Portland Police Association bitterly opposed the IPR's increased powers.
Hull Caballero said she knew about past conflicts but her concerns intensified after an introductory meeting with Turner on Jan. 22.
At the end of the session, she said, Turner casually mentioned that an IPR employee hired in 2013 by Griffin-Valade had "flunked" a background check.
The Police Bureau conducts background checks for IPR. The information is supposed to be shared with the auditor but otherwise remain confidential.
Hull Caballero said she asked Turner how he knew about the results. "He said, 'The chief told me,'" Hull Caballero recalled Thursday.
Hull Caballero said she was taken aback but didn't ask Turner whether he was referring to Reese or O'Dea.
Turner and Reese declined to address the situation Thursday. "I don't have any comment on personnel matters," Reese said.
Hull Caballero complained about the breach in a March 12 memo to Hales, who oversees the Police Bureau, and to the rest of the City Council. She urged an investigation to find out who else might have been involved.
Hales wrote back: "On the allegation that there may have been a leak of confidential information supposedly from former Chief Mike Reese: There is little we can do about 2013 actions taken by former City employees."
He added that he supports a proposal from O'Dea to have an outside agency conduct background checks for IPR employees.
The applicant admitted frequent drug use in his 20s and 30s. The applicant also informed background investigators of an out-of-state misdemeanor conviction, which didn't turn up in a criminal records check because it was dismissed after a year of good behavior, according to someone with knowledge of the situation.
Hull Caballero said IPR's team of five investigators is "tough," but she's concerned nonetheless.
"What I find unacceptable about this is they may be adjusting their behaviors in ways they might not even realize," she said of investigators.
In another episode, Turner tried to "harass, bully and intimidate" IPR investigator Casey Bieberich on June 3 after she interviewed an officer about a complaint of misconduct involving police commanders, according to a June 2014 memo from Griffin-Valade to Hales. Hull Caballero shared the memo Thursday.
Turner told the investigator multiple times that IPR should know "right from wrong" and cops believed the investigation lacked merit, according to the memo. He also told the investigator that when union members asked him about the investigation, he replied with a dismissive: "That's IPR."
Afterward, the IPR created a "safety plan" requiring two IPR employees to attend interviews.
Griffin-Valade also pressed for Turner to be investigated. Anna Kanwit, Portland's human resources director, responded that the city couldn't do much.
She said Turner has a "unique relationship" with the city - serving as an employee whose salary and benefits are reimbursed by the union - and could file an unfair-labor-practice claim if the city tried to "control" his actions, according to the June 2014 memo.
"My statements and my speech are covered, not just under the First Amendment, but also under collective bargaining laws,'' Turner said Thursday. "I will advocate for my members' rights, professionally and appropriately as I've always done.''
In October, the union fired back against IPR's safety plan. In a complaint to the city, the union argued that state law caps the number of investigators for an interview at two. Because a member of the police internal affairs division must be present, only one member of the IPR can be in the room, the union contends.
Separately, the union filed a complaint against a third IPR investigator, alleging racial discrimination based on a question the person asked during an investigation.
Of the union actions overall, division director Severe said: "I don't know how you can have meaningful independent investigations when the investigators are being brow-beaten and subjected to investigations for doing their job.''
The IPR has eight investigations underway. Four stem from complaints about protests. A fifth is reviewing the controversial arrest of a 16-year-old who was later acquitted, with the judge blasting police for using excessive force.

• Last-ditch effort to get former Burma ambassador to UN to testify • Pro-democracy leader 'preparing for worst' as trial nears end
The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Wednesday 29 July 2009
In the article below about the trial of the Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi we referred to the man who swam across a lake to her home, John Yettaw, as a US veteran of the Vietnam war – as widely reported in the United States. We should have made clear that this is a claim, so far unverified by the US military.
The trial of Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been adjourned until today for her defence lawyers to give their closing response before a verdict is delivered, possibly in two to three weeks.
The Nobel peace prize laureate is charged with breaking the terms of her house arrest by allowing an American man to spend two nights at her home in May. She faces up to five years in prison if found guilty.
Her lawyers were reportedly making last-ditch attempts to call Nyunt Maung Shein, Burma's former ambassador to the UN, to testify in court. They claim to have proof that he told the UN's human rights council that Aung San Suu Kyi was being "detained for her own security".
Her lawyer, Nyan Win, said: "We have asked the [Burma] foreign ministry to appear before the court with the necessary records in order to have a fair trial."
It appears that the defence will attempt to argue that if a government official confirmed she was detained, not under arrest, then she cannot be tried for allegedly breaking her detention order.
"It's not over yet – the defence will get another chance to respond to the prosecution's arguments," Nyan Win said.
The adjournment came as Amnesty International awarded Aung San Suu Kyi its highest accolade, the title of ambassador of conscience, for leading the democracy struggle in Burma. "Aung San Suu Kyi has remained a symbol of hope, courage and the undying defence of human rights, not only to the people of Myanmar but to people around the world," Amnesty's secretary general, Irene Khan, said in a statement.
The rock band U2 was due to announce the award at a concert in Dublin last night.
John Yettaw, a Vietnam veteran who was described by his wife as eccentric, said he swam across a lake to her home because he wanted to warn her that she was about to be assassinated by "terrorists."
Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been detained for 14 of the last 20 years, pleaded with Yettaw to leave and relented only after he claimed to be too ill to swim back.
Reports said Yettaw's lawyer was due to defend his client against charges of trespassing, which carries a sentence of up to three months in prison.
Khin Maung Oo said at the weekend that he would attempt to win Yettaw, 53, a lenient sentence. "I will try my best to defend my client. I will argue that he did not violate the restriction order and I will try my utmost to get him lesser punishment," he said.
Although the prosecution was expected to wrap up its case against the Nobel prize winner her lawyer said a verdict was not imminent. "I expect all the arguments will be made today but I think the verdict might take as long as two or three weeks," Nyan Win told Reuters.
He said his client was "preparing for the worst" at the end of a trial that the military junta's critics have denounced as an excuse to keep her incarcerated during national elections due next year. Statements were expected from Aung San Suu Kyi's longtime companions, Khin Khin Win and her daughter Win Ma Ma. The women, members of Suu Kyi's the National League for Democracy [(NLD]), also face up to five years in prison.
The NLD won a landslide victory in elections in 1990, but the ruling generals refused to recognise the result.
The junta has so far resisted international calls for Aung San Suu Kyi's immediate release. Last week, the state-controlled media accused the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, of "interference" after she said a satisfactory conclusion to the trial could lead to better economic ties with Washington.
The defence does not deny that Yettaw visited her compound, but argues that she cannot be charged under laws abolished in 1988. It blames her bodyguards for failing to apprehend Yettaw, who remained undetected for several hours. | positive |

Image copyright Press release Image caption Kiesza's Hideaway is one of the year's best-selling singles
Ballerina, sailor, sniper, model, code-breaker, jazz scholar, pop writer. Just reading Kiesza's CV is exhausting, never mind living through it.
For the moment, the 25-year-old has settled on being a dance diva, with a trio of chart-busting house singles.
Born Kiesa Rae Ellestad and raised in Calgary, Canada, she never intended to become a solo artist, having spent her early 20s writing for the likes of Rihanna and Kylie Minogue.
But Hideaway, a song composed and recorded in a couple of hours, turned out to be too good to give away.
Accompanied by a one-take video, in which Kiesza dances down a shabby Brooklyn back street, it sold more than 2 million copies and inspired hundreds of YouTube tributes.
Notoriously, the star broke a rib just before filming the video and "couldn't move for a month afterwards".
When the BBC catches up with her, the rib has healed - but she's almost lost her voice, thanks to a punishing tour schedule. After a few warm-up exercises, however, she is ready to chat about her injuries, inspirations and the time she was thrown in a gas chamber.
Sorry to hear about your voice. Being a pop star isn't all it's cut out to be, is it?
It's tough if you want to have a busy schedule, for sure. I had to cut out everything - alcohol, caffeine - anything that would dehydrate me, just to balance out the amount that aeroplanes dry out my voice.
If you told people they had to give up alcohol to become famous, I think many of them might reconsider.
I guess you don't have to, technically. But I like to work a lot and I like to sing. I don't want to cancel shows, so I do everything I can to maintain my stamina.
Image copyright Record company Image caption The video for Hideaway was nominated for best choreography at the MTV Awards
You've crammed a lot of things into your first 25 years. Take us through the story...
From the age of three to 15, I wanted to be a ballerina and trained really, really hard. Then I had that classic movie story moment, where I had an injury and had to give up my dream.
It was totally depressing but I was young so I could bounce back. I'd tried sailing before, so I decided to give that a shot. I became an instructor, I got into racing, I started sailing tall ships. Through that, I ended up joining the [Canadian] Navy. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Is it true they put you in a gas chamber?
Yes! It was horrible. I imagine the reason was both to prove to us that our gas masks worked and to show us, first-hand, why we should fear gas.
Why didn't your ballet injury rule you out of navy service?
A lot of the injury was to do with the point shoes. I had been over-stretched, so the injury was related to my IT (Iliotibial) band. Basically, this ligament was popping out of my hip socket, so it was really messing up my knees and my hips. I had to let the inflammation go down, and let the muscles build up again.
The navy is as physical as ballet for a short period of time, but you're not walking around on your tip-toes.
Even when you're sneaking up on the enemy?
Ha, ha! Those sneak-up crawls are really painful but they're painful on the abs and the butt. I was actually really, really good at the navy [she was also invited to join an infantry unit to be mentored by an elite sniper]. It was specific things related to ballet that I wasn't able to do.
Image copyright y Image caption As a Navy reservist, she specialised in code-breaking and sharp shooting. Later she entered the Miss Universe pageant
And then you ended up being a songwriter. How?
I brought a guitar on the boat once and started learning. Then I made a little demo CD and sent it to music college before we sailed to Hawaii. When I got there, I found out I'd been accepted.
A lot of pop artists are wary of being classically trained. What do you think?
You cannot go wrong by learning classical music because it trains the ear. I learnt classical theory and jazz theory [and] having it there when you're stuck in a songwriting session helps you solve the problems.
Jazz used to influence pop music a lot more - now it seems to be based on beats.
Oh yes, people will literally make you a loop. There's nothing wrong with that - you want to keep pop music simple - but it's become a factory system.
A lot of producers now aren't instrumentalists. They're kids who have a computer and learn their program. So I find a lot of them use the same chords, or make the songs in the same key, simply because it's the only key they know.
Before Hideaway, you recorded a more folk-inspired album. How does that compare to your "proper" debut?
The album I made in my early years of college was a way of exploring myself as a songwriter. There wasn't any specific direction to it. Sound of a Woman is my first album with an artistic identity. It feels like my first album.
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption The singer recreates the energetic choreography of her videos on stage
You've really tapped into the deep house revival. Why has it come back instead of other 90s sounds - like Bryan Adams or the Vengaboys?
Oh man, the Vengaboys are my guilty pleasure. [Sings] "Boom, boom, boom boom, I want you in my room". It's pop perfection.
But I've thought a lot about why deep house has had this resurgence. For me, it was a response to the past four years of 128 bpm [club] music. If you try to dance to that, it's a workout. You jump up and down, you fist pump and you're exhausted.
At the tempo where deep house sits naturally, which is about 120bpm, people can move their whole bodies to it, and that gives a much deeper connection.
Hideaway is the 12th best-selling single of the year in the UK. Had you any idea how big it would become?
No! I thought it'd be an underground song with an independent following.
Was it really written and recorded in an hour?
It was one of those songs where I had a melody pop into my head suddenly and I knew I'd forget it if I didn't record it straight away. I decided to just get it out, so I could come back to it - but Rami, my producer, was so inspired he created the whole track as I was writing the melody. Literally within 90 minutes the whole song was recorded, mixed and mastered, and we never changed it after that.
And you decided to keep it for yourself...
For me to write a song and not give it away was unheard of at the time, but I couldn't let go. I didn't want anyone else to sing it. It was a deep gut feeling. I realised I should take a chance and bet on myself. And it worked!
Kiesza's album, Sound of a Woman, is out now on Virgin EMI records. | positive |

I missed the part where Mark Meadows, R-North Carolina, pitched a fit about Cohen’s having said Trump is racist. The fit Meadows pitched was a remarkably dumb fit (and of course Trump is a racist). Something curious happened about 90 minutes into the Michael Cohen testimony which transfixed much of Washington on Wednesday: A woman rose behind Rep. Mark Meadows as the North Carolina Republican grilled President Trump’s former fixer on his characterization of the president as a racist. The woman — sunglasses affixed to her head, white cape draped over her shoulders — was Lynne Patton, longtime Trump family aide and an official at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Most important, for the cameras, she is African American. “I asked Lynne to come today in her personal capacity to actually shed some light,” Meadows said. Yep he said that. Cohen said he knows her well, and Meadows launched on his absurd rant. Meadows got to his point: “You made some very demeaning comments about the president that Ms. Patton doesn’t agree with. In fact, it has to do with your claim of racism. She says that as a daughter of a man born in Birmingham, Alabama, that there is no way that she would work for an individual who was racist. How do you reconcile the two of those?” Say what? What does Birmingham, Alabama have to do with it? I’m pretty sure there were plenty of racist white people there in the days of Bull Connor and I don’t suppose the number has dropped to zero now, so I’m not getting his drift, or Patton’s if it’s hers. But even setting Birmingham aside…what the fuck? “Look, here is A Black Woman who works for Trump, therefore, sir, Trump cannot possibly be a racist.” One, yes he can, and two, we know he is. Birtherism. Shithole countries. His obsession with that one particular border. Good people on both sides. Birtherism. The Central Park 5. He was sued by the Feds for refusing to rent to black people back in the 70s. Birtherism. His indifference to Puerto Rico after the hurricane. The almost total whiteness of his administration. Birtherism. Telling April Ryan at his first press conference to make an appointment for him with the Congressional Black Caucus, having first asked her if they were friends of hers. Patton’s unusual appearance during the hearing was immediately panned by black politicians and journalists. “So . . . you bring out the president’s black employee. And say, see, how could he be racist? This is something,” tweeted Lena Tillett, a reporter at WRAL in Raleigh. Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.) said during the hearing that she, as a black person, has “endured the public comments of racism from the sitting president.” “To prop up one member of our entire race of black people and say that that nullifies that is totally insulting,” Lawrence said. “He brought out a black woman who is loyal to President Trump to prove that President Trump is not racist,” tweeted Yamiche Alcindor, White House correspondent for PBS NewsHour. “It was like show and tell. Incredible.” Look look look, this one black person, therefore he is not racist. At the end of the hearing Rashida Tlaib said using a black woman as a prop was racist and Meadows went ballistic.

The American Red Cross has experienced a shortfall equivalent to not receiving donations for four days. View Full Caption Shutterstock
CHICAGO — The American Red Cross has issued another emergency call for blood and platelet donors as it continues to face a critical blood shortage.
An emergency call was issued earlier this month, which resulted in a 30 percent increase in donations. Despite the increase, the Red Cross saw 61,000 fewer donations in May and June, which is the equivalent to not receiving any donations at all for more than four days.
The American Red Cross is urging eligible donors of all blood types to donate immediately. As a thank you, the Red Cross will be emailing those who donate a $5 Target eGiftCard through August 31.
"We sincerely appreciate those who have responded to the call to help save lives and encourage those who haven't to consider rolling up and give the gift of life. It only takes an hour but it can mean a lifetime for patients," Red Cross Blood spokesman Nick Gehrig said.
The blood shortages are happening all over the country and are common during the summer due to traveling and vacations, says Laura McGuire, external communications manager at Red Cross.
About 20 percent of the blood supply for the Red Cross comes from high schools and colleges, says McGuire, another factor that contributes to the decline during the summer.
The Red Cross is in need of all blood types and has a "sweet spot" for two types in particular: O negative blood and AB plasma which are both universal, allowing trauma and emergency rooms to respond more quickly when they patient's blood type is unknown.
Several upcoming blood donation opportunities are scheduled through August 24.
Here is where and when you can donate:
• 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. July 26 at Bank of America, 135 S. LaSalle St.
• 10 a.m.-3 p.m. July 27 at Doubletree, 300 E. Ohio St.

It wasn’t too long ago that preparing for the breakdown of civilization was the obsession of fringe groups on the margins of society—cult members waiting for the rapture or white supremacists bracing for a race war.
According to a new report in the New Yorker (paywall), a growing number of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and other wealthy individuals across the US are joining in. Many fear that extreme inequality may trigger civil unrest, and are planning for the collapse of law and order. They’re doing everything from stocking up on gold coins and canned foods, to buying land on remote islands and building bunkers. Among other things:
Steve Huffman, the CEO of Reddit, had laser eye surgery after he realized finding eye glasses could be a major problem if society descends into chaos
Marvin Liao, a partner at a venture-capital firm, bought weapons and began taking archery classes.
Antonio Garcia Martinez, a former Facebook executive, bought five remote acres on an island and equipped it with generators and thousands of rounds of ammunition
New Zealand, according to LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, is the favored refuge of the tech elite in the event of a disaster. It’s called “apocalypse insurance”
Preparing for the end of the world is not new, and at times even made sense. At the height of the Cold War, president John F. Kennedy encouraged Americans to build bomb shelters. But as the Cold War ended, worrying about the end times became a fringe obsession. There was a brief resurgence in 1999 as panic over computers not being properly programmed for the rollover to 2000 became widespread. Ironically, 17 years ago it was the elite who reassured the world that technology could fix the problem.
This time, however, it’s our growing dependence on technology that is helping to drive the worry. “Our food supply is dependent on GPS, logistics, and weather forecasting,” one CEO told the magazine, “and those systems are generally dependent on the Internet.”
From the outside, much of this looks like the rich indulging in fantasy, perhaps after seeing the latest Mad Max installment. A doomsday plan is one more toy to buy once you’ve bought everything else. For the rest of us, who won’t be able to flee to the hills, the best way to prepare for the end of civilization is to work hard to make sure it never comes. | positive |
You have to wonder what Gloria Negri must have been thinking as she sat on a bench in the dark of the night in this vast and frightened city of ours, trying to attract the attention of the Boston Strangler, a decoy for this newspaper back in the early 1960s.
I hope he comes – that’s what she was probably thinking.
Like the time she basically forced her way into Vietnam in the throes of the war against orders from a Globe publisher who didn’t want to put a female reporter in harm’s way. She sent a cable back to the states saying, and I quote, “Gloria Negri wants to stay.”

A Globe editor sent a somewhat brief cable back: “No.”

Name a major event, Gloria has chronicled it, gloriously so: the race riots in the 1960s, Apollo moon shots from Mission Control, apartheid in South Africa, the ferocious 1980 earthquake in Italy that left 2,700 people dead.
She surreptitiously sipped bourbon with Lady Bird Johnson at the famed LBJ ranch in Texas during the 1964 presidential campaign. She trained with Joe Frazier before one of his epic fights against Muhammad Ali. She was at Shea Stadium on that October night when the ground ball skipped through Bill Buckner’s legs.
Today, Gloria Negri retires. Today, Gloria walks out of this newsroom as a full-fledged Boston Globe staffer for the final time, ending a nearly 53-year run that is unlike any journalism career this town has ever seen or will see again. Tomorrow, this paper and the world we cover will be a little less vibrant without her.
Understand that Gloria Negri is a trailblazer in every sense of the word, a woman who never worked on what used to be known as the “women’s pages,” which was unheard of when she arrived here at the tail end of the Eisenhower administration. She broke barriers not as a cause, but because her talent couldn’t be contained.

She is also, it must be said, slightly idiosyncratic in the way that newspaper people used to be but, sadly, aren’t any more. When she sneezes, which is oddly often, windows rattle across Dorchester. She used to crawl under her desk to make especially sensitive calls. To this day, nights and weekends, she trundles toward the door carrying bags burdened with loose papers, notes for the stories she polishes at her kitchen table. Her voice fills the newsroom as she pulls her disarming Columbo routine with unknowing sources — “So sorry to bother you again. . . . I happened to notice something . . . . Just one more question.”
There’s something else about Gloria Negri, the most important thing of all. Too often these days, the blabbermouths on television and the elite national reporters who travel in herds try to tell the country what we think, though none have talked to an everyday person in years.
Then there’s Gloria. For five-plus decades she’s traveled the city and the world with pen and paper, typewriter then laptop, deftly persuading ordinary people to open up about their lives. How? Empathy. In a world too cold, it spills from her fingertips.
Which is why the best Gloria Negri stories weren’t necessarily based on the biggest events, but her poignant and wonderfully told insights into the human condition: Doc Mastrangelo, the aging physician who cared for half of Watertown but rarely sent bills; Jim Flath, the homeless shoeshine man who donated much of his pay to charity; a boy named Quinnie, born poor and sick, who spoke his first words and walked his first steps in Boston City Hospital with doctors and nurses who saw him as their son. She wrote the defining story about the disabled students at the Massachusetts Hospital School that didn’t leave a dry eye in the state.
Gloria mentioned one recent day that when she dies, she would be delighted to be described as a Globe reporter who did good work. She shouldn’t have to wait. On this day of Gloria Negri’s retirement, her rebirth, it should be known clear and wide: There hasn’t been anyone better.

In Louisiana, Republican Governor Bobby Jindal pushed for a voucher program that would allow state funds to be used to pay for religious schools. It’s unconstitutional, it’s a way to use taxpayer money to fund someone’s faith, and it was a bad idea to begin with.
But it passed.
Now, one of the state legislators, Rep. Valarie Hodges (R-Watson), just made a shocking discovery, though: Christianity isn’t the only religion!
Rep. Valarie Hodges, R-Watson, says she had no idea that Gov. Bobby Jindal’s overhaul of the state’s educational system might mean taxpayer support of Muslim schools. “I actually support funding for teaching the fundamentals of America’s Founding Fathers’ religion, which is Christianity, in public schools or private schools,” the District 64 Representative said Monday. … “Unfortunately it will not be limited to the Founders’ religion,” Hodges said. “We need to insure that it does not open the door to fund radical Islam schools. There are a thousand Muslim schools that have sprung up recently. I do not support using public funds for teaching Islam anywhere here in Louisiana.”
Wait, we’re teaching the “Founders’ religion”? I can’t wait to see those Deistic schools popping up everywhere…
I can’t decide whether the staffers at Americans United are collectively rolling their eyes or shaking their heads in disbelief, but they’re right to suggest “We told you so”:
Where to begin? Hodges’ bigotry is perhaps only rivaled by her ignorance of constitutional and legal principles. Of course Muslim schools will qualify for funding under a voucher plan. When programs like this are set up that dole out benefits to religious schools, the government can’t play favorites. That’s basic. … Some legislators aren’t comfortable funding Muslim schools. What’s to be done? How about not establishing these programs in the first place? Let Muslims fund Muslim schools. Let Catholics fund Catholics ones. Let fundamentalist Protestants pay for the conservative Christian academies and so on.
Rep. Hodges made the mistake of saying out loud what most conservative Christians only say to themselves to private: When they say they want “religious freedom,” they’re only referring to their own faith. Everyone else can fend for themselves.
Message to Rep. Hodges: Your Christian privilege is showing.

The Dallas Mavericks are ruling out Rajon Rondo indefinitely, citing a back injury Rondo sustained Tuesday night at Houston, the team said Wednesday.
When asked Wednesday if he expects Rondo, who is a free agent this summer, to be in a Mavericks uniform next season, coach Rick Carlisle replied: "No, I don't."
Rondo played only 34 seconds in the second half of Dallas' Game 2 loss, benched by Carlisle after picking up two quick fouls, while defending James Harden, as well as a technical. The former All-Star logged just under 10 minutes of court time for the whole game.
Editor's Picks In Carlisle's eyes, Rondo is no Kidd Rick Carlisle and Rajon Rondo have clashed this season, but it's not the first time the Mavs head coach has had a difficult relationship with his point guard.
Rondo had initially hurt his back about a week ago, a source said, but the point guard thought he could play through it. He did not inform the Mavericks' trainers of the issue until after he was called for a blocking foul on Harden, which exacerbated the injury, early in the Game 2 loss.
"He sustained a back injury basically at the 11-minute mark of the first quarter last night," Carlisle said. "He attempted to take a charge on James Harden, hit the ground and from that point going forward probably should not have played any more, but he did. He wasn't able to play his game or play as well as he can play. Today, it's not good, so he is going to seek additional opinions. That's where things are at with him."
Carlisle said that Rondo is not expected to be around the team for the rest of the series as he explores additional medical opinions.
Asked after the game if Rondo wanted to be on the floor, Carlisle told reporters in Houston: "You have to ask him that question. All I know right now is that we need everybody at their competitive best. This isn't about one guy who did or didn't play. This is about everybody pulling in the same direction for the organization. That's what it's about."
Just four minutes into the game, Rondo nonchalantly walked the ball up the floor and got whistled for an eight-second backcourt violation with the Rockets applying no pressure. He was then replaced by Barea some 40 seconds later after Jason Terry got loose on the ensuing inbounds pass for a wide-open 3, with Carlisle keeping Rondo on the bench until 5:30 remained in the second quarter.
Carlisle acknowledged that the announcement of Rondo's back injury would be met with some suspicion, given his poor performance and lack of playing time in the Game 2 loss.
Bill Baptist/NBAE/Getty Images
"I understand that the announcement that's been made is going to have different interpretations," Carlisle said. "I am giving you our interpretation of it, and this is fact. From here, we're moving forward. We've got a series to win and we've got to win Game 3 with the guys that are available."
Devin Harris (upgraded to probable; toe injury) and J.J. Barea will be options to fill in at point guard in Game 3.
Injured forward Chandler Parsons, meanwhile, is out for the rest of the season and exploring surgical options for his injured right knee. The injury forced him to miss the final six games of the regular season as well as Game 2 of the Houston series. Parsons logged 37 minutes in Game 1 but was playing in obvious discomfort, managing just 10 points on 5-for-15 shooting.
If Rondo does not play again for the Mavericks, with free agency looming in July, Tuesday's scenes will mark a downbeat end to his time in Dallas after the Mavs parted with a future first-round pick and high-energy big man Brandan Wright to acquire Rondo in a Dec. 18 trade with the Boston Celtics.
Sources have maintained for weeks that Rondo is planning to sign elsewhere this summer after his longstanding struggles to function in Carlisle's system or mesh offensively with the likes of Mavs guard Monta Ellis. The Mavericks made the trade for Rondo hopeful that his defense, rebounding and history of big-game production as a Celtic could trump his limitations as a shooter, but Dallas' spacing with Rondo on the floor has been even worse than feared.
Rondo served a one-game suspension in late February for conduct detrimental to the team after a profanity-laced shouting match with Carlisle about play-calling responsibilities in a win over Toronto and a subsequent emotionally charged dispute in the locker room after the game.

Lawmakers in Kyiv have approved draft legislation simplifying the process for foreigners to obtain Ukrainian citizenship if they have served in Ukraine's army.
The bill, adopted by the parliament on January 28, says foreign nationals in the Ukrainian Army are eligible to obtain Ukrainian citizenship in three years instead of the normal five years.
They also are not required to obtain a residence permit before applying for the citizenship.
The bill must be signed by President Petro Poroshenko to become law.
In November, Poroshenko signed a law that made it legal for foreigners to serve in Ukraine's military.
Many volunteers from other countries have joined Ukraine's armed forces and volunteer brigades since early 2014 when conflict broke out between government forces and Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Oct 04, 2019 / in Best Practices , Earned Media , US Blog / by Sarah Parker Only half (49%) of comms professionals have data to understand if their content drove any results. Do you? While marketing has long been able to track and measure the performance of paid and owned media, PR has fallen short on understanding impact of earned media— until now. Earned Media Management (EMM) is a strategy that, when done right, gives PR pros the data and metrics to prove to stakeholders the direct business results from their work. Our latest ebook walks through what EMM is and what a successful strategy looks like. Here at Cision we think about EMM via four tenets, and we break it down this way in the ebook: Target — Establish an influencer graph to profile your ideal audience and map out the influencers in that audience and content they create. Engage — One-off press releases aren't going to cut it anymore. Know how influencers like to receive content and tailor your approach accordingly. Measure — Go beyond media mentions and use actual data and technology to prove the real impact of earned media on the business.

Hey guys, installgen2 here, I’ve been working a little bit on what I hope to be Tox’s new website one day. Quite a few users have complained about the current site, for reasons which are listed:
Proprietary JS
Code nobody wants to work on
Broken scrolling (for a lot of browsers)
No mobile support
Design inconsistent with the rest of Tox
Extremely heavy resource usage
Everything listed here
This issue raises some points too
So, as nobody else to my knowledge had started developing a new site, I started work on one. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or the experience to continue development on my own, and I need help if I want to continue. I’m asking everyone with an interest in web-development and design, to help me out with the new site.
Anybody interested, please either join our #tox-dev IRC channel on Freenode, or contribute directly to the repo on GitHub. You can see my current progress at http://beta.tox.chat. Thanks! | positive |
The Drug Enforcement Administration randomly inspected three NFL teams after their away games on Sunday. DEA agents were looking into allegations that team doctors were illegally dispensing prescription narcotics.
"DEA agents are currently interviewing NFL team doctors in several locations as part of an ongoing investigation into potential violations of the Controlled Substances Act," DEA spokesman Rusty Payne said Sunday. "The Drug Enforcement Administration has a responsibility under the Controlled Substances Act to ensure that registrants who possess, prescribe and dispense controlled substances are following the law."
The San Francisco 49ers were searched at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium after their game with the New York Giants, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneer’s inspection took place at Maryland’s Baltimore-Washington International Airport, in cooperation with Transportation Security Agency officials. The Seattle Seahawks were checked after their game in Kansas City, Missouri, but the team did not specify if they were at the stadium or airport.
The inspections included bag searches and the questioning of team doctors by DEA agents, and were based on the suspicion that NFL teams dispense drugs illegally to keep players on the field in violation of the Controlled Substances Act, a senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation told the Washington Post.
"What we were told was they are random checks of team physicians as they travel to see if anyone is transporting controlled substances across state lines," 49ers spokesman Bob Lange said after Sunday's game against the Giants, according to ESPN. "The 49ers' medical staff complied, and the team departed the stadium as scheduled."
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy later also issued a statement that said: "Our teams cooperated with the DEA today and we have no information to indicate that irregularities were found."
The raid is believed to have stemmed from a lawsuit filed by more than 1,300 retired NFL players earlier this year in US District Court in San Francisco. The suit claims that NFL medical staffs capriciously pump players full of powerful, highly addictive narcotics such as Percocet and Vicodin in order to get them back on the field as soon as possible, the Post reported.
"I think it's great that the DEA is taking this seriously," Phil Closius, an attorney representing the former NFL players involved in the ongoing federal lawsuit, told ESPN. "We alleged back on May 20 that the NFL was issuing these controlled substances and prescription medicines in an illegal manner, and nobody has really disputed the factual basis of that claim."
A federal law enforcement source with knowledge of Sunday's inspections told ESPN that the DEA has reason to believe those laws are frequently violated, particularly by visiting NFL teams.
"NFL doctors are not obtaining a separate registration where they are administering controlled substances to NFL players. They are administering in different states and treating players at hotels and stadiums outside of their registered location with the DEA," the source said.
The DEA also had reason to believe that visiting-team physicians may not be keeping "readily retrievable documents" that spell out which prescription drugs are administered and to whom, the source added. "Our intelligence suggests controlled substances are not properly logged to specific players."
Closius blamed the NFL culture that routinely demands players play with pain.
"If doctors don't get players back on the field, you think they're going to continue to be the team doctor?" Closius told ESPN. "Everybody is subservient to this return-to-play culture -- doctors, general managers, coaches, everybody. And that return-to-play culture is responsible for this illegal distribution on drugs."
Players’ return-to-play attitude has been noted for nearly two decades. A 1997 Sports Lawyer Journal article noted that NFL athletes are often willing to assume greater risk than normal patients.
“The ordinary patient desires a long-term cure, not a quick fix,” the article said. ”Professional athletes feel pressure to play from teammates, other athletes, friends, media, fans, team managers, owners, physicians and themselves... Fans often believe that highly paid professional athletes have a duty to play for their team even if there is high risk to the athlete’s health.”
Along with the use of prescription drugs, the NFL and team doctors have come under fire ‒ and been sued ‒ over the way concussions have been handled in the league. The league faced a lawsuit filed by more than 4,500 former players who say the NFL hid links between football and a specific type of head injury, called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. A study released in October found that 96.2 percent of deceased pro footballers examined as part of the study suffered from the degenerative brain disease that is caused by repeated blows to the head and can lead to aggression and dementia.
The lawsuit was settled in mid-October, providing payments of up to $5 million to those with the most serious neurological impairments. But lawyers for more than 20,000 former professional football players are expected in court on Wednesday in Philadelphia to argue over the terms of the settlement, Reuters reported. The former players are seeking compensation from the NFL, claiming “intentional tortious misconduct, including fraud, intentional misrepresentation and negligence” by the league.
In the lawsuit’s master complaint, the plaintiffs argued, “The NFL, as the organizer, marketer and face of the most popular sport in the United States, in which MTBI [mild traumatic brain injuries] is a regular occurrence and in which players are at risk for MBTI, was aware of the evidence and the risks associated with repetitive traumatic brain injuries virtually at the inception, but deliberately ignored and actively concealed the information from the Plaintiffs and all others who participated in organized football at all levels.” | positive |

Morning Phase, the gorgeous bum-out of an album that Beck released earlier this year, was the first album he’d recorded in six years, but it’s not the first one he wrote. In 2012, Beck published Song Reader, a sheet music “album.” The idea was that Beck had written the songs, but other people would decide how they sounded, playing and maybe even recording their own versions. For a long time, Beck refused to sing any of its songs in public. Eventually, he relented, throwing a couple of grand Song Reader events, with famous people helping him bring the songs to live. (We posted video of him playing with Jarvis Cocker and Franz Ferdinand in London, and with Jenny Lewis and Anne Hathaway in L.A.) More recently, Beck has talked about the idea of putting some versions of his Song Reader songs on a record, and now it looks like that’ll happen. As Future Heart points out, there’s a Song Reader album up for pre-order on Amazon, and it has a release date listed: 7/29, via Capitol. We don’t know what form it will take, or even if it’s real, but it’s an encouraging sign. And given that there’s still talk of Beck releasing another, funkier album this fall, 2014 looks to be a huge year for him. | positive |

News Corp – the parent corporation of Fox News – is finding itself in even more hot water, with new accusations filed in court this morning. The Dial Corp, makers of soap, personal-care and household cleaning products, have filed suit against News Corp along with subsidies News America, News America Marketing FSI, and News America Marketing In-Store Services, alleging that the company engaged in anti-competitive and illegal practices in order to monopolize the market, even forcing competition out of business through its illegal and immoral tactics. The accusations are lengthy, detailed, and specific, and paints a picture of a company out of control.
Having already had their largest newspaper News of the World close their doors in light of the hacking scandal within the United Kingdom, there is a magnifying lens over News Corp to identify similar scandals. The new lawsuit opens up a can of worms, looking into the heart of the News Corp advertising divisions and finding tactics which even News America Inc.’s Chief Operating Officer, Paul Carlucci, compared to those used by Al Capone in the movie “The Untouchables.” The allegations continue, detailing out threats by Mr. Carlucci to fire anyone “concerned about doing the right thing” and not supporting the firms aims of eliminating competition in the retail advertising space.
How the tactic worked was as simple as it was devastating to the market. There are only a handful of nationwide print advertisement firms. These firms set up the inserts which go in newspapers nationwide. These inserts are key to promotions for many businesses, including Dial. In addition, there are in-store promotions also handled through these agencies. What the lawsuit alleges is that News Corp is doing is using its numerous other businesses, such as its extensive newspaper holdings, to force companies into exclusive advertising contracts. This locks these businesses out from advertising elsewhere. If enough businesses are forced to a News Corp advertising contract, they can now go to their newspapers competitors and force those into exclusive contracts.
By this ruthless, exclusionary tactic, utilizing the different branches of News Corp in a coordinated manner, the company has managed to drive one of its competitors, Floorgraphics Inc., out of business entirely. The remaining competitors simply lack the ability to coordinate with other entities in the manner News Corp can. Because News Corp can partner up its branches, they can force their competition out of business. Now, due to this effort, News Corp is now ready to purchase newspapers which they have forced into a downward spiral of profits through these ruthless tactics.
But, to get this level of access, News Corp needed to know what their competition was doing. The most damning piece of the lawsuit is the allegation, with evidence, that News Corp subsidies hacked into their competitions servers. They did so in order to gain customer lists, and costs, in order to then undercut the competition. News Corp subsidies could then offer sweetheart deals which would drive their competition out of business by driving the sale price to below costs. News Corp did this knowing that they would turn a profit with one of their other divisions, while their competition without this multi-faceted multi-national structure could no longer engage in business at all. It is the clear sign of a monopoly.
News Corp now dominates the insert and retail advertising industry. For his use of Al Capone inspired tactics, Mr. Carlucci was promoted to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of News America Marketing, Inc. And News Corp reported $34 billion in revenue, despite billions in losses in many divisions. This is how News Corp works. For example, News Corp undercuts the competition by slashing the fees paid by cable companies for Fox News, which puts their propaganda machine in to more homes than its competition. Add in the other channels which News Corp opens, and can use as blackmail material to strong-arm Fox News into every home in the United States.
News Corp has abused its position to destroy the very market structure which enables capitalism to work. They are the enemy of capitalism, instead believing in corporatism and monopoly. The lawsuit is exposing the soft underbelly of the multinational corporation which seeks the destruction of the American Dream and way of life. | positive |
If you build it, they will come. That's historically been a common approach to species recovery: Grow the prey population first and predators will quickly return. As it turns out, that's not quite the case. A new study has found that restoring predator and prey species simultaneously speeds the recovery efforts of both.
Published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, the paper by a team of scientists that includes UC Santa Barbara researchers used models and case studies to examine the pace of species and ecosystem recovery efforts. They found that tandem recovery of predators and prey is almost always more efficient -- and on average about twice as fast -- as sequential recovery.
"Previous work has shown how high demand for resources has led to the overexploitation of species throughout the food chain in a number of ecosystems," said co-author Adrian Stier, an assistant professor in UCSB's Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology. "We show how synchronized restoration of these species is nearly always the more rapid and direct path to ecological recovery. Restoration takes longer when predators recover first, but when prey recover first the system is more prone to volatile population fluctuations."
Co-author Benjamin Halpern, director of UCSB's National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis and a professor in the campus's Bren School of Environmental Science & Management, noted that the study's conclusion is important because it offers an improvement on traditional strategies. Historically, about half of species restoration efforts employ a sequential, one-species-at-time tactic, most often beginning with targeted restoration of prey species first.
"Our results suggest that we need to fundamentally rethink the way we approach species restoration and recovery efforts," said Halpern. "If you stop to think about it, our results make sense. Natural systems are a community of species that all interact; you need all parts present and abundant to function well -- and synchronized recovery of species is the best way to do that effectively."
Just as critical, synchronous restoration is also better for the humans who earn a living harvesting both predator and prey, say, for example, Pacific cod and Pacific herring.
"You might think the loss of income associated with reducing harvest on both species at the same time would be greater than reducing harvest on one species after another, but our work suggests that synchronous recovery is ultimately better for recovering the ecosystem -- and better from an economic perspective as well," said co-author Mark Novak of the Oregon State University College of Science.
Because of overharvest, declines of multiple animal populations are typical of many ecosystems. For example, population collapses seen in pairs of species -- lions and wildebeest, Steller sea lions and Pacific herring, and mink and muskrat -- are wholly or partially attributable to trophy hunting, industrial fisheries or the fur trade.
In both terrestrial and marine resources management, population restoration and the setting of harvest quotas have long been single-species endeavors. Even in the pursuit of more holistic ecosystem-based rebuilding of food webs -- the interconnected chains of who eats whom -- the dominant strategy has been to allow prey species to initially rebound to where they readily sustain top predator levels.
However, this new research found that such single-species strategies are less efficient than allowing predator and prey to recover simultaneously. For example, predator-first strategies are particularly slow because they lead to increases in predator numbers while prey species remain depleted, limiting the availability of food that would encourage faster predator population growth.
The scientists' analyses included information from real-world examples, such as the recovery of aforementioned Pacific cod along the west coast of Vancouver Island, which proceeded slowly before the recovery of cod's preferred prey: the Pacific herring.
A database of marine fisheries shows that past recovery efforts have been nearly evenly divided between sequential recoveries -- those that prioritize predator or prey species -- and the type of synchronous recoveries that this new research determined to be faster and more efficient.
"This suggests that there is room for improvement in many restoration efforts by coordinating the recovery of predator and prey species," Stier said. "Our research emphasizes how existing marine policy, including marine protected areas and mixed stock management, offers opportunities to synchronize the restoration of multiple species."
"The order and timing of how you approach recovery does matter," said lead author Jameal Samhouri, a research fish biologist at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle. The scientists concluded that improving the efficiency of ecosystem recovery efforts by better coordinating the restoration of individual species has the potential to "play a critical role in shaping 21st-century solutions to environmental issues." | positive |
'Lefty' confident ahead of US Open - Golf365 Golf News Live golf scores PGA Tour European Tour Ryder Cup Brooks Koepka Bryson DeChambeau Dustin Johnson Justin Thomas Phil Mickelson Tiger Woods Rory McIlroy Jon Rahm ‘Lefty’ confident ahead of US Open Home bruced June 15, 2015 Phil Mickelson used the FedEx St. Jude Classic last week to fine tune his game ahead of the US Open. The US Open has always eluded Mickelson as he has racked up six runner-up finishes. If the 45-year-old can win a US Open, then he will be one of six players to have won all four majors. The San Diego born golfer was satisfied by the way he played at the St. Jude Classic but still feels there is more to work on as he aims for a career Grand Slam. “I’m very pleased with how I progressed as the tournament went on,” Mickelson told skysports.com. “I still made mistakes and there are still areas where I’ve got to improve, but I saw a lot of progress as the week went on.” Last year the US Open was not the best tournament for the five time major winner as he finished two over par on a 72 stroke course. “I’m feeling a lot better about heading in to the US Open this week than I did after the last,” added the 42-time PGA Tour winner. He is, however, feeling much more confident this time around and has stated that he feels rather comfortable on the Chambers Bay golf course. “I’m looking forward to the challenge, I really like the golf course,” admitted the 17th ranked golfer in the world. “I feel like I’ve got a pretty good game plan to the holes there and it’s different to each pin. The hole changes entirely when you have certain pin placements moving around the bunkers, so I think I have a pretty good game plan and now I feel like my game is coming around.” With tee off commencing on Thursday, the Hall of Fame golfer hopes he can put enough hours in to improve his game by then. “Hopefully I can really fine tune and be sharp for when the tournament starts on Thursday,” said the confident American. Mickelson has remained win-less since his fifth Major triumph at the Open Championship in 2013.

The Supreme Court on Monday said the government cannot make Aadhaar mandatory for availing benefits of welfare schemes.
An apex court bench said the earlier interim order had not been violated since Aadhaar is not mandatory for getting various social welfare schemes.
However, it refused to give any date on the issue of making Aadhaar mandatory, saying that it would hear the matter in due course of time. The apex court also refused to give an early hearing into the Aadhaar case.
According to an alert by PTI, a seven-judge bench will be set up to hear the pleas challenging Aadhaar but the SC said, "right now it is not possible".
Earlier in October, the court allowed use of Aadhaar cards for MNREGA, Jan Dhan Yojana, pension and provident fund schemes.
The court had earlier restricted the use of Aadhaar cards to public distribution system and LPG subsidies, after which the government rushed to the court for a permission to use it for more services.
The apex court maintained that the government cannot be stopped from using Aadhaar in other schemes like opening bank accounts.
There was widespread panic about the government making Aadhaar card mandatory for various things, excluding even welfare schemes for which, it had acquired an interim order. In the recent Finance Bill that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley introduced as a money bill in the Lok Sabha, made Aadhaar card mandatory for filling income tax returns. Apart from that the government has also made it mandatory to have the 12-digit number to get a drivers' licence or continue having a mobile connection. The Department of Telecommunications has recently written to all the telcos asking to conduct a reverification of all its subscribers with the Aadhaar card number. Failing which, those whose numbers are not verified through Aadhaar, will be disconnected after the February 6, 2017 deadline.
While the government is making Aadhaar mandatory for various schemes and functions, there is severe doubt about the government's capability to keep this data safe. Recently, a Twitter user had pointed out that a ministry had allegedly kept the personal details of thousands of individuals - including name, address, caste, bank accounts, aadhaar no, pan card numbers - in excel sheets that were accessible by the public through a simple Google search.

Delivering a keynote address at last week’s Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit outside of Washington DC, the former top-ranking military advisor to Presidents Obama and George W Bush said primary on his list of concerns was US national debt, followed closely by cybersecurity-related issues.
Referring to the government’s debt situation, Mullen implored that “if we as a country don’t correct this…then almost everything else doesn’t matter because we will not have the resources available” to compete on the global stage.
Lamenting a lack of political leadership and cooperation on key issues, Mullen added that “politicians get paid to solve problems, and there are really difficult problems that won’t get solved without courageous, bipartisan, bold politicians making bold decisions”. He was careful not to single out any political party in particular, but instead labeled this as a widespread problem inherent across the US political landscape.
It is this type of political wrangling that has hampered the US government from formulating a comprehensive response to the cybersecurity imperative – in particular a series of failed bills that prompted Obama to issue his executive order on cybersecurity for critical infrastructure in February.
Mullen then spent the rest of his comments on the issue of cybersecurity and, specifically, the oftentimes contentious situation between the US and China in this area.
Regarding challenges the US faces in cybersecurity, which he has contemplated for several years now, Mullen noted it is “the only existential threat of concern”, explaining further that it has changed our way of life in a way that there is no going back.
“I’ve fought the cyber fight”, he exclaimed, underscoring its importance. “I have seen the lethality of the enemy – up close and personal”. Mullen said the battle is a “two-way street”, with most nation-states employing highly capable cybersecurity specialists in an “incredibly dangerous” world that “travels at light speed”.
Highlighting the importance of the recent summit between Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Mullen said it was imperative for the two leaders to address cybersecurity-related issues in a cooperative manner. “The Chinese have very clearly been stealing our intellectual property, mostly because they need it to make their businesses grow”, he asserted, adding that without this IP pipeline, the Chinese could not achieve sustainable economic growth that would promote internal stability.
“I think this relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world… and cyber[security] is at the heart of this”, Mullen opined.
What makes this rampant IP theft possible, he continued, is an outdated strategy toward information and internet security. “My view is that we are basically patching the problem”, Mullen remarked, calling it a “software game” where security patches actually introduce the possibility for more vulnerabilities. It’s a ‘who can out-patch who’ game, according to the retired four-star admiral, a contest he considers “a failed strategy”.
One recommendation he received was “rebuilding the internet”, and this time starting from scratch with security built-in – a rather daunting task Mullen admitted. “It actually makes some sense, and from my perspective the sooner the better.”
A primary barrier to this fundamental re-thinking of internet security revolves around political leadership, and the requisite will to engage in action, Mullen said. To him, the time when CEOs and political leaders could simply rely on their technical experts to come up with solutions has long passed.
“Leaders need to understand the technology. Leaders need to understand what the best way is in terms of investment. Leaders create policies that impact us all”, he commented, noting that more research dollars are needed in the area of cybersecurity. “Leaders are paid to take risk, and leaders need to be bold and courageous”. | positive |

Your rewards are based largely on how high you manage to climb. Getting to the top is a tough slog, but if you can actually beat the final boss on top, impressive awards await.Of course, a 12-room dungeon is a long, tough slog for one squad, so we’re going to open it up a little and let you use your whole hero collection. Between every level, you’ll have the opportunity to switch in new teammates, and give other heroes a breather.And this is important, because there’s a big catch: your heroes’ health and energy persists between floors. You might use IGOROK’s ability on the first floor right out of the gate, but that means you won’t be able to use it again for a couple of floors – and if you don’t use him for a few floors, his health and energy will NOT refresh during that time. This persistence lasts for the day – the next day, you can refresh the Tower, as well as your collection, in order to make another ascent.Health persists as you ascend. Wounds that your hero suffers will persist in the next level, and heroes that fall in battle will not be accessible for the rest of your climb up the tower. And retreating is a coward's way out that is punished harshly - wounds that your hero suffers will persist after retreating, but the defender's health will be restored to their pre-fight levels.The higher you climb on your tower run, the more Pwnage Points you get. You can cash those in at the Pwn Shop, for all sorts of wonderful goodies.Our goal in designing the Tower of Pwnage was to encourage players to use their hero collections in brand new ways, and we’ve already see this in our playtesting. Heroes that are normally undervalued become more valuable when you factor in endurance and strategically managing your healing capability becomes a crucial skill. Savvy players will quickly learn the value of ‘charging up’ their abilities on lower levels so those abilities can be unloaded on higher ones.We’re very excited about the Tower of Pwnage and we think you will be too. We’re planning for it to be the first of a number of new features that challenge players to think about Dungeon Boss, and their heroes in general, in an all-new way.We can’t wait to see the Dungeon Bosses of the world take this challenge on!Damion Schubert, Design Director | positive |
What I really want for Christmas | No Regrets No Regrets Search Primary Menu Skip to content About Search for: Eschatology, Reflections on Life, Seasonal Thoughts What I really want for Christmas December 17, 2010 Wisdom Hunter 2 Comments “All I have to look forward to is death.” This bleak assessment came from the lips of a middle-aged woman, quoted by her daughter who was frustrated with her mother’s negative outlook on life. The daughter’s concern was understandable. No-one wants to see their loved ones depressed and preoccupied with death. Yet from one perspective, her mother was speaking the truth – a truth that we all prefer to avoid. No matter how we like to dress it up, avoid it, or talk around it, all of us will die – and none of us (or very few, anyway) like the idea. Our dog Cookie, now in her fourteenth year, is getting close to the end of her life. She is slowing down, but so far as I can tell she is not preoccupied with worries about when and how she will die. She lives for the moment, and most of her moments are spent sleeping. Her thought life seems to consist mostly of dreams of chasing squirrels, cats or motorcycles. This is interspersed with twice-daily thoughts of kibble, begging at the table whenever there are guests, and brief excursions to sniff out the daily news as she explores the “markers” left by other canines on her leisurely strolls down the streets of our neighbourhood. Young children also live for the moment, and their innocence is part of their appeal. But as we grow to adulthood, the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve start to become conscious of the oppressive reality of death. We long for a life free of worry and care, but try as we might to shut the awareness of death out of our minds, it always lurks in the background. There’s a very simple reason why we find death oppressive. We fear and hate death because we were intended to live forever with God and the people we love. Death separates us from God and the people we love most, and reminds us of our weakness, our dependency and our nakedness before God. This is why we don’t want to die or even think about the prospect. The good news of Christmas is that our life doesn’t have to end in death. Yes, we will die, but Jesus came into the world to pay the penalty of our sin so that those who trust Him could be forgiven, have peace with God, and be raised up to live with Him in His eternal kingdom. It really is that simple. The catch is that while this gift is completely free, it’s not cheap. The only way to receive this amazing gift – by far the best Christmas present ever given – is to face your failures, turn away from your sins (beginning with your pride and independence), admit that it’s not all about you and your projects and plans, face the fact that you are not the center of the universe, stop trying to run your own show, and surrender control of your life to the Messiah who was born in a stable, who died for you, and who alone is worthy to rule. When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I had dreams of taking my guitar on the coffeehouse circuit. One of my guitar-playing buddies got me a gig at a Chinese restaurant (no kidding !) where my assignment was to play and sing in the bar for three hours unamplified. Unless you’ve tried, you have no idea how hard this is. I found it no easy task to hold the attention of a drinking crowd with an unamplified acoustic guitar and no microphone. My buddy, however, wanted to help me out, so he taught me a song that was a big hit at the bar. The song was called “In Heaven there is no beer”. The gist of it was that since beer was not allowed in heaven, we might as well enjoy it on earth. At the time I simply found this song amusing, but I now see that it was actually making quite a significant statement about life. Whatever you think about beer-drinking, one of the key messages of this song is that for people who like to enjoy life, the prospect of going to heaven is actually not all that appealing. That’s because in heaven as we usually think of it, you don’t actually get to do anything. You just sit around on a cloud and play a harp all day. Isn’t it a relief to know that this is not what God actually has in mind for us? The reason we don’t get excited about floating on a cloud forever is because God never made us for that. We want to live forever on the earth because that is actually what we were made for. His amazingly good plan for us is to restore the earth through the man He has sent to be our Saviour – Jesus, the Messiah, who came once to sacrifice His life so that we could be forgiven and have peace with God, and who is coming again in glory to rule openly as King. Everyone is looking for hope, but not all the things we hope for are reliable. Sometimes – many times, in fact – we fix our hopes on things, events or people that end up disappointing us. Jesus is not like that. Jesus is faithful. No-one who reads the New Testament with an open mind and heart can doubt that he was the best, most faithful man who ever lived. He is the hope of all the earth, and His free gift of eternal life is available to all who are willing to humble themselves and surrender to Him. That includes you, my friend. What do I really want for Christmas? The deepest desire of my heart is that my friends, family and workmates – all those in my life who are living independently of Jesus, or who are looking elsewhere for hope – might discover once and for all the best present of all, the only Christmas gift that really counts, the gift that makes everything else worthwhile. His name is Jesus, He truly is the reason for the season, He came to earth for you, and He is coming again to rule and to reign. Life and death are in His hands, and to those who trust Him, He gives hope that nothing can destroy.

Laura Plummer is accused of illegally taking 300 tramadol tablets into country, which she says were for her partner who suffers from back pain
The woman accused of smuggling hundreds of prescription painkillers into Egypt has been referred for trial at a criminal court and must remain in custody until her case is heard.
Laura Plummer, 33, stands accused of illegally taking 300 tramadol tablets into Eygpt where the prescription painkillers are a controlled substance.
She claimed she had “no idea” the opioids were banned in the country and insists she was bringing the painkillers to her partner who was suffering from back pain.
Plummer’s MP, Karl Turner, told the Press Association: “Omar, the partner of Laura, has come forward with evidence to show that he did indeed suffer with back pain – various medical certificates and scans which prove that it was true.”
Turner said the Egyptian lawyer acting for Plummer is confident that the evidence will help her case as it confirms her version of events.
Among the documents are x-rays, medical records and a marriage certificate. The couple reportedly met four years ago. “Hopefully now her nightmare will come to an end,” her husband Omar Caboo, 34, said. “These papers will prove she was telling the truth.”
Plummer’s lawyer is understood to have acted for British citizens in Egypt before.
Turner added: “Tramadol is a controlled class C drug in the UK, and is banned entirely in Egypt because it’s a recreation drug of choice … they are desperate to stamp it out.”
He said Plummer’s father put it well when he said his daughter “wouldn’t know a tramadol from a Panadol”, adding: “They weren’t concealed, they were laid on top of clothing. Clearly she’d not gone to any attempt to conceal them. She didn’t realise they were illegal.”
Her brother, James Plummer, had previously said her family had been told she could face up to 25 years in jail, with one lawyer even mentioning the death penalty.
“It’s just blown out of proportion completely,” he said. “She’s so by the book, so routine, she just likes her own home comforts, watches Emmerdale every night or things like that, going to bed at nine o’clock every night.”
He said his sister just thought she was doing a “good deed” by bringing the medication, which she had been given by a colleague in Hull whom she had told about her husband’s back pain.
Tramadol is the most abused drug in Egypt, according to a government minister. The synthetic opioid is only available on prescription but is often obtained illegally and used as a heroin substitute, as it is elsewhere in the world.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said its officials were “supporting a British woman and her family following her detention in Egypt”. | positive |

It's fast, readily available, and accessible 24 hours a day. Running a business without email would be much more difficult, more costly, and less profitable. There are many free email mail programs such as Google's Gmail. You sign up, create an account, and you're on your way. There are, however, downsides to free email apps. Your privacy is not guaranteed. A better way to go is to use a private email platform. You have to pay but the advantages may the fee well worth it. Tech Companies Sell Your Email Address Tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Hotmail offer free accounts for a reason. They sell your email address to other companies and make profits that way. Most people receive tons of annoying spam in their email boxes every single day. Even anti-spam software has trouble keeping up with it. A private email platform avoids this problem completely. Your email address is only distributed to the parties you decide to give it to. An uncluttered box containing only emails pertinent to your business can improve efficiency and certainly makes that part of your business more pleasant. Tech Companies Are Reading Your Emails One of the major differences between standard mail and email is that your messages are not sealed in an envelope. They are out there and accessible, especially to the tech companies who provide the service. Rest assured, they are looking at your emails. Have you ever sent an email to a friend or customer and mentioned something you have never talked about before? How many times does an ad for that item or service pop up in your email or browser? This is yet another way in which tech companies make money off the free service they provide. Privacy is important for businesses and customers. A private platform keeps your emails away from prying eyes. Big Tech Emails Providers Are More Prone to Data Breaches Big tech companies do provide security to their email customers. However, they are much more prone to phishing scams, viruses, and data breaches. Any of these problems can cost you customers, time, and money. A private email platform generally has better security and allows you to better protect yourself using your own antivirus and anti-spam software. Data breaches can be devasting to your customers as well as your business. Extra Encryption Protection For extra security and protection, a private email platform can allow you to send encrypted, password-protected emails. They cannot be read unless the recipient uses the secure password that you have provided. This provides an additional layer of security for extremely sensitive communication that could cause big problems if it were viewed by the wrong sets of eyes. A good email service is a necessity for a successful business. Many of the big tech companies offer free email but it doesn't come at a price. Consider a private email platform. The fees you will pay are nothing compared to the potential losses that a free big tech account can inflict with the lack of security. Check Out These Related Posts: Cold Email Vs.

Timeline: 1983
The Players: Atari, financially troubled ex-king of the gaming industry and Nintendo, a small-time Japanese arcade cabinet manufacturer on the rise.
The End Result: Atari managed to let a golden goose slip through their fingers, simultaneously losing their best opportunity to reverse their calamitous financial fortunes and unwittingly handing their crown over to a new successor.
The Deal: The 80s video game market was dominated by two major players: Atari ruled the early years of the decade, while Nintendo rose to prominence during the latter half. However, shockingly enough, the two companies were very nearly partners in their dominance over gaming. In 1983, the bottom fell out of the home console market, leaving Atari in dire financial straits as their company haemorrhaged money hand over fist. For a time, Atari's parent company attempted to sell off their games division, but there were few buyers given that the entire industry had all but collapsed. Atari desperately hunted for some spark, some sort of lifeline that would bail them out and grant them a return to the glory they had once enjoyed as the king of the gaming market.
Cue Nintendo, a small games developer that had experienced widespread success in the arcades thanks to the smash hit "Donkey Kong". Nintendo was looking to break into the home console market, but decided that they wished to partner with someone more experienced in the field in order to minimize their own risk. Atari was their first choice, and Nintendo approached the gaming megalith about a possible partnership deal. At first, Atari was somewhat sceptical of the offer - to be fair, Nintendo was showing up a little late to a party that had just been busted up by the proverbial fuzz a few months previous. But, after noting the widespread success of Donkey Kong, Atari finally decided they were interested and sat down to negotiate.
So what went wrong?
The exact details of what happened are a bit unclear, but it is known that this deal very nearly got implemented before being axed at the proverbial eleventh hour. Atari and Nintendo had worked out the details of their contract and were ready to publically sign their partnership at the 1983 Consumer Electronics Show. Unfortunately, Coleco - one of Atari's top rivals at the time - chose the CES to unveil their new Adam computer, and the game they used as a software demo just happened to be Donkey Kong, one of Nintendo's most popular games. Furious at the perceived betrayal, Atari executives accused Nintendo of double-dealing with the enemy; Nintendo blamed Coleco, claiming that they were using the software illegally, while Coleco contested that because they held distribution rights for the console version of Donkey Kong, their demo was perfectly valid. A protracted legal battle ensued and Atari and Nintendo's deal fell apart.
What happened next is a little muddled, although some sources state that following the CES, the two parties again came together to try and salvage the deal. However, the man in charge of negotiating with Nintendo, Atari CEO Ray Kassar, was forced to leave Atari over allegations of insider trading a mere month later. Now, at this point, one might assume that Atari would simply promote someone to take his place and have them resume the negotiations. Well... that never happened. In the corporate shuffling that followed, the Famicom deal got lost in the mix and Atari as a company basically forgot that they had an agreement in the works with Mario's creator. At this point, I can only assume that the Nintendo executives shrugged, rolled up their sleeves, and muttered, "Well, if you want a job done right..."
Nintendo released the Famicom in Japan while still waiting on Atari's final decision. After noting its runaway success (and Atari's continuing financial difficulties), Nintendo quietly withdrew from the deal and opted to release the NES on their own. Atari was forced to declare bankruptcy a short time later. | positive |

October 15, 2014 Hi friends ~You have been on my heart & mind a lot lately. Although I’m out of the loop on what’s going on in your lives, I’m assured that when God brings you to mind, He knows the details. And as I pray for you, He knows exactly how to interpret those prayers according to His amazing love for you & His glorious will. A while ago, I started a new page in my prayer/QT journal. I call it my “Nothing is Too Hard for God” page. On the top of the page, I have some wonderful Scriptural truths about God’s Power and our need to never give up as we pray. Verses like Jeremiah 32:17-19, Luke 18:1, Luke 1:37… Then, underneath those verses, I listed those situations in and around my life and in the lives of those I love where unless God intervenes, there is no human hope. I listed dear friends fighting cancer, the salvation of a few “stubborn, but good” people, the restoration of some marriages that had previously glorified the Lord, some “difficult” people God has placed in our paths, a family of children who experienced a terrible tragedy & trauma that would seem impossible to ever recover from … I LOVE this page in my journal! It gives me great joy to turn to it and to pray about the impossible situations listed before the Lord! One of these days, He will work the “impossible” in these lives. He may not answer in the way I think He should, but He will answer. And when He does, I’ll get to do my most favorite part of my prayer journaling: putting a big, fat X right in the blank I drew before I ever wrote the request. Do you have some “impossible” needs before you today? Are they weighing you down with worry or fear? If so, I encourage you to write them down, and give them to The Lord. “For with God, nothing is impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.” (Luke 1:37) If you know you are praying in line with God’s Word and God’s will, don’t give up! Nothing is too hard or too wonderful for God! (From Jer. 32:17-19) I love each one of you, and pray for God to strengthen, encourage, & guide you through those “impossible” situations. Our Lord knows your needs and is Great in Counsel and Mighty in Deeds! Seek Him in His Word, obey Him and Trust Him. He IS the God of the impossible! “O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you! …You are the great and powerful God, theLord of Heaven’s Armies. You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles. You see the conduct of all people, and you give them what they deserve.” Jeremiah 32:17-19, NLT With much love ~ Have a great day in The Lord!

Louis van Gaal will show his ruthless streak now he has his feet under the table as Manchester United boss - with a major clear-out of the club’s dead wood.
As many as TEN players are facing the axe under the Dutchman, who is determined to overhaul the squad that fared so disastrously under sacked boss David Moyes last season.
Former Holland boss Van Gaal arrived at United’s Aon Traning Complex on Wednesday to begin his new role, taking an evening training session after meeting his squad and staff - including assistant Ryan Giggs.
The 62-year-old will be officially introduced by the Red Devils at an Old Trafford press conference on Thursday afternoon, but is understood to have wasted no time in outlining his intended rebuilding process.
Van Gaal intends to make as many as four more signings this summer, to add to new arrivals Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw, as well as stripping back his existing squad.
LVG LIVE! Van Gaal will be unveiled to the press and we are covering it here
The players poised to be shown the door by Van Gaal include Ashley Young, Wilfried Zaha, Marouane Fellaini, Bebe, Anderson, Tom Cleverley, Nani and Nick Powell.

With Patrice Evra leaving for Juventus just weeks after being handed a new deal and striker Javier Hernandez open to a move elsewhere to play more regularly, Van Gaal could jettison as many as 10 of Moyes’ squad.
The absence of European football this season, following their seventh-place finish under Moyes and caretaker boss Giggs, means Van Gaal will not need such a large pool of players from which to choose.
United’s new boss is understood to want to operate with a squad of around 24 or 25 men - which would mean a significant scaling down of the group he inherits.
Van Gaal is keen to promote from within and give United’s youngsters a chance to impress. He will look to assistant boss Giggs for the low-down on the club’s emerging talent.
Giggs gave youngsters James Wilson and Tom Lawrence their first-team debuts at the end of last season during his four-game spell in charge after Moyes was sacked.
Other youngsters Van Gaal is keen to assess include Jesse Lingard, who has returned from a productive loan spell at Championship side Birmingham, and 21-year-old twins Michael and Will Keane.

The former Ajax, Barceona and Bayern Munich boss has looked to develop young players at every club he has managed and is keen to do the same at Old Trafford - although several more big-money signings are planned this summer.
One player who will not be joining United is Chile World Cup star Arturo Vidal.
Juventus have insisted the midfielder is not for sale, while United are adamant they have not made an approach for him.

JOE
Review by Josh P.
Often grim, Joe is well made and gripping, though, perhaps, not for the faint-hearted. In the film’s first scene, writers Larry Brown & Gary Hawkins and director David Gordon Green define Joe as a harsh drama. In it, fifteen-year-old Gary (Tye Sheridan) accosts his father, Wade (Gary Poulter), for being an abusive alcoholic. Gary’s soliloquy helps solidify the film’s identity, of course, as does Wade’s response, but Green’s camera angle is even more effective; it is an unchanging over-the-shoulder shot, one that shows us the back of Gary’s head and most of Wade’s face.
From this first image, we know that Gary is not in control, that he will have to fight for success. Joe promises to be about a child on the precipice, one whom the world ignores.
It delivers. When Gary meets Joe Ransom (Nicolas Cage), an ex-convict with a good heart but uncontrolled anger, the former convinces the latter to hire him and his father for laborious work as corporate tree killers. In his excitement, Gary runs home to tell his family he’s found work, but neither his mother nor father reciprocate his elation. Worse, Wade refuses to help Gary get groceries in town, only finally agreeing to join his son after lengthy conversation. Upon enlisting his father’s aid, Gary sees a stranger, Willie (Ronnie Gene Blevins), and asks for a ride. But Willie does not help. And neither does Wade, no matter what Willie says or does to his son.
Gary is too young and uninformed for such a life, but only Joe and Connie (Adriene Mishler) care. And only Joe helps. Helps so much, in fact, that he becomes Gary’s role model and surrogate father, his own emotional issues notwithstanding. Brown, Hawkins and Green’s plot, then, effectively adheres to theme: as Joe himself asks, more or less, how does society allow its children to be this disadvantaged? Why don’t people help them?
It is an upsetting question, made all the more so because Green immerses in it. When Joe should be disturbing, the directoruses every filmmaking element to fuel the audience’s anxiety. Consider when Wade stalks a homeless man. We hear soft, beat-heavy music mixed with natural footstep sound editing, at the same time we see a wide-angle shot that frames both men. The shot is held so long, the walk so drawn out, that we dread the scene’s resolution. When Wade lights a cigarette, our dread turns to fear. It is only one example of Green’s directorial skill, but it is emblematic. Joe would not be half so effective without the director’s artistic touches.
A narrative that sufficiently develops most of its characters helps, as well. As do powerhouse performances from Nicolas Cage, Tye Sheridan and Gary Poulter. All three men are note-perfectly captivating. Ditto that for Joe’s occasional flights of humor, which lighten the mood just enough to make the film entertaining.
If still imperfect, mostly because Willie is poorly written. Why, really, does he hate Joe? Why he is so bent on revenge? Why does he freak out at Gary the first time they meet? Why, in other words, is he who he is? We can only begin to answer such questions, and none of our answers move beyond theories.
Despite this significant flaw, Joe accomplishes its objectives and merits a recommendation.

Brave Miss World
I’ve always been attracted to documentaries about social issues and this one immediately grabbed my attention. Linor Abargil seemed to have the world on her feet at 18. I mean she beat hundreds of contestants to win the Miss World title in 1998. But little did most of the world then knew that she was abducted, stabbed and raped in Milan by someone she trusted, her travel agent, just six weeks before she was crowned.
Some documentaries are tough to get into, especially when the subject is as bleak as rape. Yet this film kept my attention from the start thanks to the protagonist of the film. Linor became the reluctant ‘face’ if you will for survivor of sexual violence. Though she had the support of families n friends, she was still haunted by the horrifying event. I applaud her for speaking out however, and using her Miss World fame to help others. Though at times it wore her out and took an emotional toll on her that she had to revisit that terrible night every time another woman confessed she had been raped, she kept going. I wonder why at times, and so did her family members, as her parents candidly shared to the camera how they dread her taking on this cause. It helps that how open and candid her family & friends were, including her then-boyfriend who’s now her husband, about sharing how they felt about Linor and her journey.
As the documentary took us on a journey along with Linor though, I’m inspired that Linor chose to turn a brutal act into be something that brings light to a lot of suffering women around the world. At the same time, the experience of talking to fellow survivors was sort of a healing process for her. It was also a quest to bring her rapist to justice. Turns out her rapist has done this crime before and so she was determined to keep him behind bars when he became eligible for parole. The mix of Linor’s personal journey and the cause to bring sexual violence to light wasn’t always seamlessly done however, and editing could’ve been tightly done to maintain the focus on the protagonist. The abrupt detour showing Hollywood stars (Joan Collins, Fran Drescher) who shared their own experience of being raped felt a bit jarring, as it sort of took me out of the film a bit.
Towards the end of the film, we saw quite a striking transformation of Linor. Her conversion to Judaism may seem quite drastic but I for one didn’t think that her new-found faith was merely a spiritual *crutch* nor that it was merely an act of desperation of some sort. I felt that her desire to be closer to God is a natural passage as she somehow starts to see herself in a different light. I respect that and I’m glad that her spiritual journey was not cut out from the film. I felt that she’s far more beautiful in her natural state, without any makeup or glamorous clothing, as her inner beauty really shines through.
For more info and how you could take action to support this cause, check out Brave Miss World’s official website. She will be making the film festival rounds for the next few weeks. Hope you’ll check out this film when it’s playing near you.
You can also read (and share your own) stories on the site, as well as info on how to get help if you need it.

I am backtracking a bit regarding the posts about Italy, I didn’t have time to write until now… December 2018 Hospitality And Shopping! I absolutely loved Florence! It was so beautifully decorated for the holidays and the people that worked at our hotel were so friendly. We stayed at Room Mate Hotel Isabella. It was centrally located in Florence and very convenient. Every morning we were greeted with “Buongiorno!” (Good Morning) by multiple people that worked at the hotel. The waiter at the hotel made us special Italian cappuccinos everyday instead of using the cappuccino machine. Breakfast spread, more breakfast items were on the other side of the room too! Florence is know as the leather capital of Italy. I purchased an Italian leather motorcycle jacket that I had been wanting. T purchased a wallet, belt, and duffel bag. Enjoying my Italian cappuccino in my new Italian leather jacket! Romantic Dinner With A View T and I enjoyed a romantic dinner at Golden View. Golden View was recommended by one of T’s coworkers and the restaurant and view did not disappoint! We had a breathtaking view of the oldest bridge in Florence called Ponte Vecchio. We ordered wine called Ponte Cuvee Rosso and the wine label replicated the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. View of the Ponte Vecchio Bridge during the day Making Memories in Museums We visited the Gallery of the Academy of Florence where we saw Michelangelo’s sculpture of David. It felt strange seeing it in real life since there are two replicas of David throughout Florence. No flash when taking photographs in museums, always an important rule to remember in museums. 🙂 Also, we visited The Uffize. A Florentine was our tour guide throughout the museum. I learned a lot more than I would have learned had I walked around the museum by myself looking at art. He shared the history for pieces of art that he selected. We also went to Piazzale Michelangelo for a spectacular view of Florence and David – ha, ha! Wine Tasting Time T and I participated on a bus tour that took us to two wineries located in Tuscany. Tuscany is known for Chianti wine, which is one of Italy’s most famous wines. The first winery we visited was Tenuta Riseccoli. The sommolier was very enthusiastic and happy about the wines she served. We also tasted delicious extra virgin olive oil and bread. T and I enjoyed tasting the different types of wine. We also visited the town of Greve, a wine fair of the Chianti region is held there every year. Our tour continued to another winery called Poggio Amorelli. We tasted a few wines and sat at a table with other people on our tour. The wine was more expensive and the sommolier was much more serious about us tasting our wines. Tuscany was beautiful and serene! T and I visited a wine bar in Florence, that of course, served Chianti. You paid your bill based on the amount of wine you THINK you DRANK… Dinner Time We made reservations and ate at a restaurant called La Bussola. It was delicious! La Bussola menu Yummy! T putting on the perfect amount of cheese! Football Findings We went to Fashion Footballer to watch a football (soccer) match (game). T was really impressed with the establishment and all of the football paraphernalia that was displayed. More Photos… Breast Cancer Awareness in Florence!
