National Museum of Wildlife Art Announces Five Acquisitions
Jackson, WY — The annual Collectors Circle event was held at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, on Wednesday, July 25, 2018. As a result, the museum welcomed five new artworks into the Permanent Collection. Four of the works were purchased directly with Collectors Circle funds, and generous benefactors contributed funds to purchase one additional artwork, and to restore another.
The mission of the Collectors Circle is “to support acquisitions for the permanent collection of the National Museum of Wildlife Art.”
“Collectors Circle never fails to exceed my expectations,” said Dr. Adam Harris, Joffa Kerr Chief Curator of Art. “We are so grateful for the generous contributions that make this exciting night something we look forward to all year. On this, the 20th anniversary of the event, we were able to purchase contemporary work that I know will stand the test of time and, with additional sponsorship offered during the evening, conserve one of our historic treasures.”
Artworks are vetted by the Museum’s Collections Committee and Curatorial staff, then brought to Collectors Circle, who then vote on artworks for acquisition. The artworks for 2018 were a variety of media including: bronze, charcoal, oil, and mixed media.
“What a wonderful night at the Museum,” shares Kavar Kerr, Co-Chair of the Collections Committee. “The Collectors Circle group showed strong support of works of art that need conservation and also gave support to artwork that exhibits the need to conserve wildlife!”
Since 1998, the Collectors Circle has helped the Museum acquire over 100 works of art.
Artworks purchased this year with Collectors Circle Funds were: Lion by Nicola Hicks, The Last Three by Gillie and Marc, American Elk (Wyoming) by James Prosek, and Time Traveler by Clyde Aspevig. Purchased with Collectors Circle Funds and additional donations were Yellowstone Composition #2 by James Prosek. Conservation of Bull Moose by Henry Merwin Shrady was fully sponsored by Susan Jane & Nicholas J. Sutton.
Collectors Circle 2018 was generously sponsored by Anonymous, Niner Wine Estates, and Floral Art.

China’s Xi calls for faster development of armed forces to ‘world-class standards’
Chinese leader Xi Jinping said his country needed to strengthen its military resources to “win wars,” days after one of his top foreign officials warned that the U.S. and China were on course for “confrontation and conflict.”
Xi called for China’s defense industry to better use science and technology to improve its military to “world-class standards,” delivering a speech to the country’s parliament ahead of a vote to secure him a record-breaking third term as the leader of the ruling Communist Party.
“China needs to better use defense science, technology and industry to strengthen its army and win wars,” Xi said. It was needed to “cope with strategic risks, safeguard strategic interests and realize strategic objectives.”
The call from Xi for China to accelerate the proliferation of its defense capabilities comes as the country has taken an increasingly aggressive stance toward the U.S. Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said at a press conference earlier this week that the two countries were on a collision course.
“If the United States does not hit the brake, but continues to speed down the wrong path… there will surely be conflict and confrontation and who will bear the catastrophic consequences?” Qin said at his first press conference as foreign minister on Monday.
Tensions between the U.S. and China have continued to flare, as the Biden administration has warned China sharply against providing lethal aid to Russia in its war against Ukraine, after reports that Chinese officials were weighing the move.
American military officials have continuously warned of the military ambitions of China. Lawmakers in Congress, Republicans in particular, have sounded the alarm on the ambitions of the Chinese government, slamming the Biden administration on its handling of the relationship between the countries. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11499 | {"url": "https://www.wkbn.com/hill-politics/chinas-xi-calls-for-faster-development-of-armed-forces-to-world-class-standards/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wkbn.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:28:12Z", "digest": "sha1:K3X3YTFBWMXDE5MUHXZBZBI2C4HPOVAC"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2301, 2301.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2301, 7503.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2301, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2301, 207.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2301, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2301, 250.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2301, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2301, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2301, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2301, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2301, 0.36073059]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2301, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2301, 0.12031662]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2301, 0.12031662]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2301, 0.12031662]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2301, 0.12031662]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2301, 0.12031662]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2301, 0.12031662]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2301, 0.01319261]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2301, 0.01055409]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2301, 0.01794195]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2301, 0.01826484]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2301, 0.1]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2301, 0.14611872]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2301, 0.52486188]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2301, 5.23480663]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2301, 0.00456621]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2301, 4.85121093]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2301, 362.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 148, 0.0], [148, 391, 0.0], [391, 474, 0.0], [474, 700, 1.0], [700, 980, 1.0], [980, 1205, 1.0], [1205, 1503, 1.0], [1503, 1761, 1.0], [1761, 2003, 1.0], [2003, 2301, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 148, 0.0], [148, 391, 0.0], [391, 474, 0.0], [474, 700, 0.0], [700, 980, 0.0], [980, 1205, 0.0], [1205, 1503, 0.0], [1503, 1761, 0.0], [1761, 2003, 0.0], [2003, 2301, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 148, 22.0], [148, 391, 40.0], [391, 474, 12.0], [474, 700, 37.0], [700, 980, 45.0], [980, 1205, 34.0], [1205, 1503, 49.0], [1503, 1761, 43.0], [1761, 2003, 38.0], [2003, 2301, 42.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 148, 0.0], [148, 391, 0.02173913], [391, 474, 0.0], [474, 700, 0.0], [700, 980, 0.0], [980, 1205, 0.0], [1205, 1503, 0.0], [1503, 1761, 0.0], [1761, 2003, 0.0], [2003, 2301, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 148, 0.0], [148, 391, 0.0], [391, 474, 0.0], [474, 700, 0.0], [700, 980, 0.0], [980, 1205, 0.0], [1205, 1503, 0.0], [1503, 1761, 0.0], [1761, 2003, 0.0], [2003, 2301, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 148, 0.09459459], [148, 391, 0.11934156], [391, 474, 0.02409639], [474, 700, 0.02654867], [700, 980, 0.01428571], [980, 1205, 0.01333333], [1205, 1503, 0.03355705], [1503, 1761, 0.01937984], [1761, 2003, 0.03719008], [2003, 2301, 0.02348993]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2301, 0.44574273]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2301, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2301, 0.8628242]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2301, -133.96690088]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2301, 89.26094202]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2301, -1.72326278]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2301, 17.0]]} |

Why elections are not over until the votes are certified
By Hansi Lo Wang
Published November 14, 2022 at 5:00 AM EST
Election workers sort ballots at the Maricopa County Ballot Tabulation Center last week in Phoenix. The election is not considered over until the vote totals are reviewed and certified.
Voting has ended, and most winners have been declared.
But even after all states finish counting and reviewing the votes, the 2022 midterm general elections are not officially over until the results are certified.
That largely ceremonial step in the election process that turns unofficial results into official ones had generally not garnered much attention until the 2020 election.
Amid the failed attempt by then-President Donald Trump and his supporters to overturn now-President Biden's victory two years ago, the two Republican members of Michigan's Wayne County Board of Canvassers initially voted against certifying the results out of the state's largest county, which is home to the Democratic stronghold of Detroit. After public pressure, the GOP members ultimately agreed to certify, breaking the tie from the board's first vote.
And this year, New Mexico's Republican-led Otero County Commission made national headlines after it voted in June not to certify the results of its primary elections despite finding no deficiencies with the counts. In the end, the New Mexico Supreme Court ordered the commissioners to comply with state law and certify the county's results.
These incidents have raised concerns about other officials gumming up elections by refusing to certify results with no legitimate problems, including election deniers who may try to slow down or stop the process because they don't like who won a race.
Here's what you need to know about the election results certification process:
Why is it important to certify election results?
State laws require results to be certified as part of the election process.
"You can't get to the end result if you don't have that certification. So it's built in, and it's kind of a double check," explains Wendy Underhill, director of elections and redistricting at the National Conference of State Legislatures. "There's a thing called election time. You can't just wait forever for things to unfold. You have to find who your new elected officials are going to be."
How are election results certified?
The process varies by state and by elected office.
But generally, for this year's midterm elections, it involves a review of the results at the local and state levels.
"It is kind of a bureaucratic function and not that exciting. There's not a lot of action to be seen. It's a group of people sitting around a table looking at the paperwork that's been presented to them," Underhill says, adding that the people involved with certification are checking to see if election officials have "crossed their T's and dotted their I's and can show that their election was run according to state law."
Local deadlines to certify results can range from within a week of Election Day to 30 days after the last day of voting, and the timing can shift if there are any recounts.
What happens if an official refuses to certify results despite finding no legitimate problems with the count?
In states where laws specify deadlines for certifying results, courts could step in to force officials to declare the results official, as the New Mexico Supreme Court did for Otero County's primary results.
Still, Underhill says that incidents like what happened in Otero County are "so rare" that if any other officials refuse to certify results, elections could be running into largely uncharted territory.
Some election officials are trying to head off any potential disinformation that could spawn from any illegitimate refusals to certify election results.
Michigan's Department of State has released a video explaining that the state's county boards of election canvassers are required by law to review and certify vote totals and that any attempts to not do so for partisan reasons could spur "false and misleading claims."
"They're designed to deceive voters and to make them doubt the outcome of a legitimate election," the video says. "The thing to remember is that these are distractions."

Jessup are delighted to have been awarded the redevelopment of the Wolverhampton Royal Hospital site, by Homes England (HE). Jessup will be working in partnership with whg, a leading local housing association. The development will see the iconic hospital converted into apartments for the over 55s as a wellbeing scheme.
The regeneration also proposes to provide houses and apartments on land to the rear of the hospital building, for sale, shared ownership and affordable rent. The “Porters Lodge” will also be refurbished. Jessup will be working closely with City of Wolverhampton Council and partners to progress the design and ensure it meets the high quality standards required.
Jessup and whg are also currently progressing a redevelopment of the former bus depot site at Cleveland Road in front of the Royal Hospital. Together, these 2 developments will provide an impressive gateway into the City of Wolverhampton, including mixed tenure homes and accommodation for older people.
Clive Jessup CEO commented “I am delighted Homes England has chosen Jessup for this next phase of this important city development. It means we can continue to invest in the local area with our support of local suppliers and subcontractors whilst continuing our apprenticeship programme. It also ensures the future of a much loved historic building and comprehensively redevelops brownfield land with much needed quality, energy efficient homes.”
Gary Fulford, whg Chief Executive said: “We’re very excited to be working in partnership with Jessup to transform this brownfield site of significant local interest into a range of multigenerational and multi tenure homes for the benefit of the local community.
“This development will provide much needed affordable homes in this prime location within the heart of Wolverhampton.”
City of Wolverhampton Council Cabinet Member for City Economy, Councillor Harman Banger, said: “This is great news for a strategically important site that is part of the £4.4 billion regeneration taking place in our city.
“We will work with Jessup and whg to ensure a suitable scheme is brought forward that will transform this area and deliver new housing and jobs – making the former Royal site a key gateway to the city centre.
“It is a critical part of how we are reimagining and reinventing our city centre, along with great connectivity, great public spaces, a great leisure and sporting offer, vibrant events, outstanding arts and culture, and a thriving commercial district.”
The developments have both been designed by award winning Midlands architects BPN, who have taken inspiration from the local heritage and neighbouring properties to deliver outstanding designs. BPN Director Dean Shaw commented “The development of this important gateway scheme within the Cleveland Road Conservation area presents an opportunity for the city to continue its regeneration, reconnecting the site to the town centre. The scheme will allow this once important route into the City to be re-established with opportunities for high quality public realm as a catalyst for future development. We will be working with the City and its partners to ensure the scheme sets a benchmark for urban development providing high quality sustainable homes and spaces."
Both schemes were won via competitive tender through the Government’s Homes England Delivery Partner Panel 3 Framework. Tara Kennedy, Senior Development Manager at Homes England, said: “We’re always looking to accelerate the pace of housebuilding with our partners, so are delighted to see this project take the next step forward. This site will deliver homes across a range of tenures and we are looking forward to seeing spades in the ground.”
Jessup is a Midlands based developer who have been delivering homes around the Midlands for over 30 years, providing local employment, construction apprentices, community engagement and investment in the local economy.

Yankees AND Southerners Struggle On This Civil War Quiz. Can You Pass?
Do you know about the Civil War?
Whether you are a Yankee or a Southerner, knowing about the Civil War is important. Do you know about it?
Stephanie Harper
The Civil War made a huge mark in history. Drew Gilpin Faust is an American historian and was the 28th President of Harvard University. She did a great job of describing this war when she said, "In the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States embarked on a new relationship with death, entering into a civil war that proved bloodier than any other conflict in American history, a war that would presage the slaughter of World War I's Western Front and the global carnage of the twentieth century." Ta-Nehisi Coates, an American author who focuses on cultural, social and political issues said, "The casualties in the Civil War amount to more than all other wars - all other American wars combined. More people died in that war than World War II, World War I, Vietnam, etc. And that was a war for white supremacy. It was a war to erect a state in which the basis of it was the enslavement of black people." Lastly, we have Sam Ervin, an American politician who served as a U.S. Senator from North Carolina from 1954 to 1974. He said, "I used to think that the Civil War was our country's greatest tragedy, but I do remember that there were some redeeming features in the Civil War in that there was some spirit of sacrifice and heroism displayed on both sides. I see no redeeming features in Watergate."

Luke 13:22-30 "Jesus went through one town and village after another, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. When once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then in reply he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will say, ‘I do not know where you come from; go away from me, all you evildoers!’ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrown out. Then people will come from east and west, from north and south, and will eat in the kingdom of God. Indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11506 | {"url": "https://www.wordreborn.com/shop/The-Story-The-Narrow-Door-p236796482", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wordreborn.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T08:55:56Z", "digest": "sha1:X3WDC42U7ILRK4OQISVAYBPF2WUIWIXU"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1238, 1238.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1238, 3836.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1238, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1238, 128.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1238, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1238, 239.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1238, 0.5]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1238, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1238, 0.08429926]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1238, 0.04847208]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1238, 0.04847208]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1238, 0.01896733]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1238, 0.02739726]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1238, 0.0231823]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1238, 0.02027027]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1238, 0.19256757]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1238, 0.57083333]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1238, 3.95416667]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1238, 4.51651956]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1238, 240.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 34, 0.0], [34, 114, 1.0], [114, 135, 0.0], [135, 214, 1.0], [214, 1238, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 34, 0.0], [34, 114, 0.0], [114, 135, 0.0], [135, 214, 0.0], [214, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 28, 5.0], [28, 34, 1.0], [34, 114, 11.0], [114, 135, 2.0], [135, 214, 16.0], [214, 1238, 205.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 34, 0.4], [34, 114, 0.01408451], [114, 135, 0.0], [135, 214, 0.0], [214, 1238, 0.00808898]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 34, 0.0], [34, 114, 0.0], [114, 135, 0.0], [135, 214, 0.0], [214, 1238, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.17857143], [28, 34, 0.5], [34, 114, 0.075], [114, 135, 0.0952381], [135, 214, 0.03797468], [214, 1238, 0.02246094]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1238, 0.97281742]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1238, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1238, 0.1211136]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1238, 25.62828783]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1238, 8.10414367]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1238, -106.78815191]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1238, 11.0]]} |
L'Oréal trademark is worth protecting from cybersquatter
Cabinet Caprioli Avocats
The Versailles Court of Appeal has issued a decision in Christiane L v L'Oréal, a case of cybersquatting that involved the registration of several L'Oréal trademarks as domain names.
In 1997 L'Oréal registered its advertising slogan 'L'Oréal, parce que je le vaux bien' ('L'Oréal, because I'm worth it') as a trademark in France. It went on to register translations of the phrase as trademarks in Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. Christiane L registered 13 domain names in August 2000, all of which were '.com', '.net' and '.org' variations of the trademarked phrase in French, German and Spanish. L claimed that she intended to use the domain names for a series of websites dedicated to numismatics (the collection of coins and banknotes).
L'Oréal petitioned the French courts to have the three French language domain names transferred, claiming that they exploited its famous trademark (ie, the French slogan).
The court of first instance ruled that while L had not exploited L'Oréal's trademark as she had not used the domain names to advertise or sell products that were identical or similar to those for which the trademark was registered, she was guilty of trademark infringement.
On appeal, the Versailles Court of Appeal affirmed. It held that L's use of L'Oréal's trademark - even in relation to services not offered by L'Oréal - would dilute the cosmetic company's famous mark. Thus, the court ordered L to transfer the three domain names to L'Oréal and pay L'Oréal €1,500.

A Comprehensive Guide to Australia Basketball hoops
October 8, 2022 October 10, 2022 By Peter Alexander
Australia has a rich history with basketball, dating back to when the sport was first invented. Australians have always been passionate about the game, and that passion has only grown in recent years. In fact, Australia is now one of the top countries in the world for basketball, both in terms of player development and spectator interest. Here’s a look at the rise of basketball in Australia and what the future holds for the sport down under.
The Early Days of Australian Basketball
Basketball first came to Australia in 1906, introduced by’) Dr James Naismith, the man who invented the sport. The game quickly gained popularity, with the first official basketball associations being founded in Melbourne and Sydney just a few years later. From there, the sport continued to grow, with more associations springing up across the country. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s that basketball really began to take off in Australia. Feel free to find more information at Basketball systems Australia
This was due in part to the arrival of American military personnel during World War II. These soldiers helped spread the word about basketball and teach Australians how to play the game. They also brought with them better equipment and facilities, which helped improve the quality of play Down Under. In addition, several top American college teams toured Australia during this time, further popularizing the sport.
The Rise of Basketball in Australia
Basketball really began to take off in Australia in the 1980s and 1990s. This was due in large part to an influx of immigrants from Southeast Asia, many of whom had played basketball back home. These new arrivals helped grow the sport at both the grassroots and professional levels. In fact, some of Australia’s best-known players today, such as Patty Mills and Ben Simmons, are of Asian descent.
The growth of basketball in Australia also coincided with an increase in funding for the sport at all levels. This allowed for better facilities and coaching, which led to improved player development. As a result, more and more Australians began playing basketball and excelling at it. In addition, television coverage of NBA games increased during this time period, exposing even more people to the sport and sparking interest in playing themselves.
Today, basketball is one of the most popular sports in Australia. The country has its own professional league (the National Basketball League), which is growing in popularity every year. In addition, Australian players are making waves at both the collegiate and professional levels overseas. Just last year, Ben Simmons became only the second Australian-born player ever to be named NBA Rookie of The Year. With continued growth and success at all levels, there’s no telling how far basketball will go in Australia in the years to come!
Basketball has come a long way since it was first introduced to Australia over a hundred years ago. What started as a niche sport played by a small group of enthusiasts has blossomed into one of the most popular sports in the country. Thanks to an influx of immigrants from Southeast Asia in recent decades , coupled with increased funding and exposure , basketball has reached new heights Down Under . And with Australian players finding success at all levels overseas , it’s clear that this trend is only going to continue . Who knows ?

ROSEN, TOP RANKED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Inspirato Incorporated Investors With Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action Commenced by the Firm – ISPO
The Rosen Law Firm PA
NEW YORK, March 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Inspirato Incorporated (NASDAQ: ISPO) between May 11, 2022 and December 15, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”) of the important April 17, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline, in the securities class action commenced by the Firm.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Inspirato securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Inspirato class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=10246 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 17, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”) included in the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the Non-Reliance Periods, could no longer be relied upon; (2) the quarterly reports could no longer be relied upon due to the incorrect application of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”) with respect to the assessment of right-of-use assets and liabilities, resulting in an understatement of both right-of-use assets and total lease liabilities of approximately 9% for each of the Non-Reliance Periods resulting in an understatement of total assets and total liabilities by approximately 5% for each of the Non-Reliance periods, and due to property-related and other expenses being under accrued in the first quarter, and over accrued in the second quarter, resulting in cost of revenue being understated by approximately 1% and overstated by approximately 5% in the first and second quarter, respectively (similarly, any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases, and investor presentations or other communications describing the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and other related financial information covering the Non-Reliance Periods should no longer be relied upon); (3) the Company was not in compliance with the periodic filing requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) as a result of its failure to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (the third quarter report) with the SEC by the required due date; and (4) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Rachel Maddow uncovers a WWII-era plot against America in 'Ultra'
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. My guest, Rachel Maddow, has a new hit podcast series called "Ultra" in which she reports a little-known story about an ultra-right pro-Nazi movement that plotted to overthrow the U.S. government by force in the lead up to World War II. These groups worked with an agent from Hitler's government named George Viereck. He also colluded with over 20 sitting members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to launder and spread Nazi propaganda, often at taxpayers' expense. Those congressmen were associated with the America First Committee, a group with many antisemitic leaders. The group opposed America entering World War II. In 1944, the plots led to the largest sedition trial in U.S. history. Maddow says there's a reason to know this history now because calculated efforts to undermine democracy, foment a coup, spread disinformation, overt actions involving not just a radical band of insurrectionists, but actual serving members of Congress working alongside them, it's terrible, but it's not unprecedented.
For 14 years, Maddow hosted MSNBC's flagship weekday evening show. She recently cut back to hosting only Monday nights and special coverage so that she could devote more time to deeply reported longform projects like "Ultra." Yesterday, it was announced that Steven Spielberg's production company optioned the movie rights for "Ultra."
Rachel Maddow, welcome back to FRESH AIR. And congratulations on the news that Steven Spielberg optioned your podcast for a movie, which makes perfect sense because it's about World War II and it's about antisemitism.
RACHEL MADDOW: Oh, Terry, thank you so much for having me. It is - even just hearing you say those words, the words Steven Spielberg associated with something that I'm working on, it's very overwhelming. It's hard to believe. But I'm really excited.
GROSS: Well, I hope they get to pick your brain (laughter) for the movie because you know so much. So let's talk about the podcast. It's - I learned so much from it. I found it so remarkable, as I'm sure all your listeners did, that there were sitting congressmen and senators in collusion with an agent from Hitler's Germany, somebody who they knew was an agent from Hitler's Germany. What did Hitler's government want from the congressman?
MADDOW: Very good question and one of the things that I think is oddly and sort of disturbingly most relevant to what's happened in our world in recent years. What they wanted in most instrumental terms was for the United States to not enter World War II. And so they wanted to make us distrust and dislike and lose support for our allies, particularly Britain. By the summer of 1940, Britain was sort of the last man standing in fighting Germany. And there was - I don't think there was a reasonable expectation either way in terms of whether or not Britain was going to survive. And so Germany wanted to make sure that Americans who, in a native way, didn't necessarily want to get involved in another war, felt like getting involved would be hopeless, felt like the Germans were inevitable victors in the war. And then you get to the sort of next stages, which is that they wanted Americans to think that it wouldn't be so bad if Germany won. And that meant not only softening up any hard feelings we might have toward Germany in the way that we knew Hitler was behaving both in Europe and toward his own people, but also feeling more inclined toward fascism ourselves.
GROSS: Did I overstate it when I said that the members of Congress who dealt with this German spy knew that he was a spy for Hitler's Germany?
MADDOW: George Sylvester Viereck was a very high-profile German agent. There is no way that American members of Congress in the Senate who were dealing with him in World War II didn't know that he was a representative of Hitler's government. In World War I, for example, Viereck had been the source of national scandal when it appeared in some pro-German publications he was running at the time that he had advanced knowledge that the Lusitania was going to be sunk, which of course was a precipitating event for the U.S. joining World War I and killed lots of Americans and lots of other civilians. He was also prosecuted as a Nazi agent successfully during this period. So members of Congress who were working for him couldn't have mistaken him for a random publicist who walked in their door offering to write their speeches.
GROSS: So what are some of the things that this Nazi spy, George Viereck, asked the Congresspeople who he was in cahoots with to do, and what did the congressmen get in return?
MADDOW: Congressmen, in many instances, got paid, which is depressing to me that that may have been part of the motivation for some of what they did. But they - a number of them did get paid. And a number of them got paid kind of a lot of money. What he would do is he would either write himself - or more often get propaganda tracts from the Hitler government in Berlin - and he would effectively ask members of Congress and senators to deliver that material as speeches in the House or the Senate or to publish them under his publishing house imprint, which was paid for by the German government, or to otherwise have those things inserted in the Congressional record.
And the reason it was important to either have them delivered in the House of the Senate or inserted in the Congressional record is because then that brought into force something called the franking privilege, which is a very boring term, but it means that a member of the Senate or a member of the House can send out, free of charge, infinite numbers of copies of anything that was set on the Senate floor or the House floor or put in the Congressional record. You can mail it out for free. And Viereck realized that and used that congressional privilege to effectively charge the American taxpayers for the privilege of Hitler's government propaganda being sent out under the name of various senators and congressmen by the millions of pieces into American homes cost free to the Germans and paid for by the U.S. taxpayer, arranged by a Nazi agent.
GROSS: So some of the congressmen who were colluding with this Nazi propagandist, agent, spy, some of these congressmen were members of the America First Committee. What was the committee?
MADDOW: The America First committee was the biggest and most influential American political group in the country in the immediate lead up to World War II. They were very respectable. They were founded by a bunch of titans of industry and by very well-connected young men who had came from good families and had great connections. And they grew very fast between 1940 and 1941 to have about a million members and chapters in every state in the country and individual chapters in cities within those states. They were huge and very influential. And they faced charges from the beginning that they were pro-German, but they took great strides to make sure that they didn't seem too German, that they were just a patriotic organization. They were hurt, ultimately, I think when their leadership in particular, Charles Lindbergh, the famous aviator who became their leading spokesman, started to speak more bluntly in antisemitic terms. And a lot of their membership had that hang up and had a tendency to talk in those terms. But when it started happening from the top, when Lindbergh started blaming the Jews for wanting us to get into World War II, their support started to get hollowed out a little bit.
GROSS: And their meetings had Nazi salutes and swastikas and really horrible rhetoric. How did the congressmen participate in the America First Committee? Like, what was their role in the committee?
MADDOW: There were mostly speakers. So the America First Committee would do big rallies, the famous ones in Madison Square Garden and places like that in New York City. But they'd have major events all around the country, all up and - coast to coast and all over the Midwest. And they'd bring in like an excellent high-profile senator or speaker, like a Burton K. Wheeler from Montana, Democratic senator from Montana, who was a very, very high-profile senator and a very good speaker. And he'd come in as their headliner, and he'd lead these rallies. And he did that for dozens of America First events. And lots of other members of Congress did that. It was a way to provide legitimacy and an even higher profile to an organization that was already very influential and seen as very respectable and very powerful.
There were real considerations given within the FDR White House in the lead-up to the 1940 election, that Charles Lindbergh would run, which, of course, becomes the fictional premise for "The Plot Against America," the great Philip Roth book. They were a big deal, and those members of Congress - both wanted to be associated them (ph) because it boosted them. But it was mutual.
GROSS: The leader of the Pontiac, Mich., chapter of the America First Committee was quoted in Life magazine. I think it was 1942. And you mention this in the podcast. And this is what he said. "We would like to ban the Jews and emphatically burn them out. The Jews control the White House. The president is a Jew. His wife is a Jewess. And Jews are running Washington and the nation." The president was FDR. "To get rid of the Jews, we will have to burn and kill them off." And this was one of the defendants at the sedition trial.
MADDOW: Yeah, this was Garland Alderman, who was the head of the Pontiac, Mich., chapter of the America First Committee. And certainly, not everybody involved in the America First Committee was that violent in their rhetoric. With a million members, you're not going to end up with, you know, a majority of the committee being people who were that cretinness (ph). It was just that - he was monstrous, and he ends up being a sedition defendant in the great sedition trial in 1944.
But you do find, throughout the ranks of the America First Committee and certainly in terms of attendees at these rallies and stuff - they attract the most antisemitic, most ultra-right, most violent elements in the country. Coughlin, for example, Father Charles Coughlin, who was the massive radio presence at the time - when he formed his Christian Front militia, he told his militia members that they needed to join the America First movement.
GROSS: So Father Coughlin was a Catholic priest who had the most popular radio show in America, perhaps in the world. And he was extremely antisemitic and used his show as a platform for his antisemitism. So one of the more extreme things he said on the air after Kristallnacht - and this was the night in Germany when mobs attacked stores owned by Jews and shattered the glass in - of the storefronts. And so Coughlin gets on the air, and he said, the Jews had it coming. I mean, this is such, like, a frightening, horrible sign of what the Nazis were up to and a forerunner of what was to come.
MADDOW: The thing that is so upsetting about that moment that you're talking about is that Coughlin, by then, was known to be extremely antisemitic. And Coughlin also had not only the largest radio audience in the country at the time, but maybe the largest radio audience in the country ever. At a time when there were 130 million or so people living in the United States, the estimates of the number of people listening to him on a weekly basis were, like, 20, 30, 40 million. And that's a market share that - you know, with all respect to MSNBC and all respect to NPR, like, that's a market share that's unparalleled in terms of American media.
And the - it's the ratio between his reach and his extremism that's so unsettling because, indeed, after Kristallnacht in November 1938, he got on the radio to all the stations that he's on all across the country, with tens of millions of Americans listening, and told the American people that what they needed to know about Kristallnacht was something that he titled in his sermon that day as Jewish persecution.
And he didn't mean the persecution of the Jews. He meant the persecution of Gentiles by the Jews and effectively argued that the Germans - it was understandable what they had done given how persecuted the German nation was by its Jewish minority, and that they were finally dealing with it, and that the Jews should expect more of the same if they kept behaving the way they do in persecuting Gentiles and persecuting Christians everywhere. And Coughlin's reach and his extremism as a combined force was just a laser beam into the heart of American democracy. It was really dangerous.
GROSS: So Coughlin basically starts this group, the Christian Front. And this is basically, like, an antisemitic militia. Is that fair to say?
MADDOW: He describes it as a militia. He wants the groups to form in platoon-sized units. So he's essentially calling for sort of a cell structure, which is a traditional terrorist cell structure. And he wants them to stand ready, basically to be ready for his call. And he's smart enough to not be explicit in terms of what he's calling them to do. But given his rhetoric on his radio program, given his rhetoric, which was even actually more extremely antisemitic in his newspapers, which is called Social Justice, ironically enough - he wants these groups to get armed and start training.
And it happens all over the country particularly in New York and Boston. There's large chapters formed. And they do form these platoon-sized units, but then, they also start holding mass events. In New York, they're often street corner rallies. In Boston, they rent out big halls and have major events, sometimes with up to 10,000 people at them. And they are rallying in support of Coughlin as if he's sort of a semideity, talking about him as the greatest American, the greatest human on Earth. And they start effectively rabble-rousing in a way that results in street violence against Jewish people, boycotts of Jewish businesses, and calls to support the German military in some cases.
In Boston, the Christian Front chapter there was showing German military propaganda films, but they were live-translating from German to English for their audience. And the films were created in Berlin and designed to show the German military machine as invincible. So therefore, the United States shouldn't send its armies into Europe to be chewed up and spat out by the invincible Germans.
GROSS: Well, let's take a short break here, and then, we'll talk some more. If you're just joining us, my guest is Rachel Maddow. Her new podcast series, "Ultra," is about plots from ultra-right groups to overthrow the U.S. government in the years leading up to World War II. We'll be right back. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF GAIA WILMER'S "MIGRATIONS (FEAT. RAPHAEL LEHNEN)")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to my interview with Rachel Maddow. Her new podcast series, "Ultra," is about plots from ultra-right groups to overthrow the U.S. government in the years leading up to World War II. This included American congressmen, sitting members of Congress. And this led to the largest sedition trial in U.S. history. In 1944, J. Edgar Hoover, who was the head of the FBI, charged the Christian Front with plotting widespread terrorist activities. He charged them with sedition, a plot to overthrow the U.S. government by force. And the majority of the people who were indicted were either actively serving in the New York National Guard or they'd served in other branches of the military. So can you elaborate on that and that connection between the Christian Front and the military?
MADDOW: It's another throughline that we can see with the sedition trial of groups like the Oath Keepers. Two senior members of the Oath Keepers were just convicted on seditious conspiracy charges, and others are still facing those charges. In both instances, in both the Christian Front and the Oath Keepers, I don't think there was anything particularly about members of the military or about members of law enforcement that made them inclined toward these extremist views. It rather went the other way. These extremist groups deliberately targeted members of the military, members of the National Guard, members of law enforcement for membership recruitment because they wanted the weapons that those guys would have access to. They wanted people who were trained in the use of physical force and the use of weapons. And they wanted the credibility that would accrue to their group from being associated with people in uniform. And so these extremist groups aggressively targeted their recruitment toward people who had those kinds of skills and associations.
GROSS: So most of the defendants in this Christian Front sedition trial were acquitted and the rest were let off in a mistrial. So basically, all of them got off. Was there insufficient evidence? Like, what - how did that happen?
MADDOW: Oh, it's such an interesting story. So this is 1940, January 1942. It's before we're in World War II, when Hoover announces the arrests of the 17 members of the Christian Front in New York. It is front page news in every paper in the country just about. He does a personal press conference to announce it. It was a really big deal. And the FBI really thought they had a slam dunk case. They had an informer inside the Christian Front who took notes on the inside of his shirt sleeves and did all these sort of spy movie things to make sure that he was documenting what exactly they were doing.
They had evidence that the group was training with stolen U.S. military weapons and other weapons they'd obtained other ways. And they had pretty detailed evidence of what they were planning to do and when. They think they acted within a week of when the group was planning on enacting its coup attempt, which was going to start with the murder of a number of congressmen, blowing up both Jewish businesses and other notable targets in the New York area and in the Northeast, and then hopefully causing such panic that it would create a state of emergency. The National Guard would be called out. And they believed that they had enough sympathizers in the National Guard that the guard would actually end up taking their side and it would become a military junta. And the FBI acted with alacrity. They thought it had gone too long. The group had been creating bombs. They had stockpiled the bombs. They knew about the location of the explosives, and they brought it to trial. The problem was that it was such an audacious plot that, when it didn't happen, I think people thought that it was too audacious to ever be realistic. It was sort of ridiculed as a fantastical plot.
But the other thing the prosecutors didn't account for was that in Brooklyn, where these men were arrested and where the trial was held, the population was very sympathetic to what they stood for. And they were known figures in the community. They were guardsmen and police officers and local boys. And the courtroom was packed every day with their supporters in a way that seems to have made an effect on the jury. That may have also had something to do with the fact that one of the top religious advisers to the Christian Front, his first cousin was forewoman of the jury, which seems like an oversight on the part of the judge in allowing the selection of that jury.
GROSS: Yeah. I'm trying to think. Had I not known what happened on January 6 and had I not know more about the lead up to January 6, would I have thought that plans to storm the Capitol and have an insurrection were fantastical? I might have.
MADDOW: Exactly. Yeah. And that's the inherent problem in any sedition trial. A sedition charge is brought against somebody who's planning to overthrow the government. By definition, they're only being charged because it didn't succeed. There's still a government there to charge them. And so every sedition plot is a failed sedition plot. And there's a built-in defense and a built in sort of emotional plea you can make to the jury that the plot was never going to work because, by definition, it didn't if those defendants are sitting there before you today.
GROSS: Well, let's take another break here and then we'll talk some more. If you're just joining us, my guest is Rachel Maddow. And her show, "The Rachel Maddow Show," is the flagship show on MSNBC. But she left doing the show five nights a week and is only doing it Monday nights so that she could pursue longform investigative reporting like her new podcast series, "Ultra," which is about plots from the ultra-right groups to overthrow the U.S. government in the years leading up to World War II. The podcast series has just been optioned by Steven Spielberg to adapt into a movie. So we'll be right back after a short break. I'm Terry Gross. And this is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Let's get back to my interview with Rachel Maddow. Her new podcast series, "Ultra," is about plots from ultra-right groups to overthrow the U.S. government, ultra-right groups in the U.S. And this was in the years leading up to World War II. There were Nazi sympathizers. The movement involved a Nazi agent and spy colluding with American congressmen, as well as with isolationist groups like the America First Committee, which many congressmen were involved with, and the Christian Front, which was connected to the far-right antisemitic Catholic priest Father Coughlin, who had the most popular radio show in America. These plots led to the largest sedition trial in U.S. history.
The sedition trial is complicated because there's basically several trials or several indictments, and it's a little confusing when one set of indictments kind of blends into the other. So let's talk about what's described as the largest sedition trial in American history. Who were the defendants and what were the charges?
MADDOW: So there were a handful of different indictments that were brought. The first prosecutor who was involved was named William Power Maloney, and he brought two subsequent indictments, naming between two dozen and three dozen people. He was then fired. The isolationist senator Burton Wheeler from Montana, who had been involved in the German agents plot in Congress to send propaganda around the country, he went to the attorney general at the time - his name was Francis Biddle - and basically threatened Biddle that if William Power Maloney was allowed to go ahead with this investigation, he, Senator Wheeler, would launch oversight efforts over the Justice Department in the United States Senate that the Justice Department had never seen before, and those would extend all the way up to Biddle personally. He needed to get rid of this prosecutor. And Francis Biddle, there were a lot of good things that he did as attorney general, but he did cave to that threat and fired Maloney.
The sort of saving grace there was that the case wasn't killed off entirely. Another prosecutor was brought in to take it up in the wake of Maloney's firing, a man named John Rogge. And Rogge basically took the indictments that Maloney had filed, which had not yet been brought to trial, and he spent a year reviewing them top to tail, figuring out what his approach would be to the trial and whether those indictments would stand or whether there was a - whether they would be dropped or whether there was a different group of people should be indicted. He indicted in 1944 much the same group that Maloney had targeted in his investigation, and Rogge brought these two dozen plus Americans up on charges that related to sort of specific elements of the sedition statute. He said that they were trying to induce Americans to not comply with the draft, to not serve when called up in the military. They were trying to induce people who were actively in the military that they should mutiny and he charged, and this was crucial, that the defendants had links to a conspiracy that was being led from Berlin, that they were linked explicitly to the German government, that the Germans, in many cases, were paying them to do what they did.
GROSS: So you describe the sedition trial as turning into bedlam. There's so many, like, outrageous things that happened. Like, during the period when potential jurors are questioned before they're chosen to be jurors, the defense asks some incredible questions, including things like, are you Jewish or do you have a relative who is? Do you read Jewish publications? What does Jew mean? What does international bankers mean? What's meant by Mongolian Jews? And do you think Jesus was a Jew? And there were no Jews, no African-Americans on the jury, but at least three German Americans. It's amazing that the judge let this kind of questioning happen and that there were no Jews, but there were three German Americans.
MADDOW: Yeah. This is flummoxing in some ways. I mean, defense counsel can propose all sorts of crazy things to be asked to potential jurors, but it's up to the judge to decide what actually gets asked. And for Judge Eicher to have allowed some of these questions specifically designed to keep Jews off the jury, and also to sort of push-pull the jury on being disinclined toward any Jewish perspective, is a remarkable thing. And indeed, there were no Jewish people on the jury.
I feel like one of the things that might explain why bedlam broke out and why the trial was so out of control and why things like that happened with selecting the jury pool, it may have had something to do with the fact that Judge Eicher was very inexperienced. He was in his mid-60s by the time the trial was happening, but he'd only been on the bench for two years. He had been a congressman from Iowa. He'd been on - I think - the SEC, had had some other government jobs. He'd had a sort of distinguished career and was well-regarded, but he was not experienced as a judge. When he was put in charge of this trial with, you know, 28 incredibly rowdy, incredibly disruptive and in many cases incredibly eccentric defendants, almost as many defense lawyers, the highest profile case in the country on incredibly inflammatory charges, it was going to be a challenge for any judge, but for somebody who didn't really know what he was doing yet, he was very clearly overmatched from day one of that trial.
GROSS: And you say that the defense tried to prevent the trial, tried to postpone the trial, tried to have a mistrial declared, and they kept doing that, like, over and over. The trial came to a kind of a dramatic conclusion because the judge went home one night after the trial had been going on for months, had dinner, and then died in his sleep. So what happened after that?
MADDOW: It was a crazy moment. I mean, the trial never got less chaotic from the very beginning. And you can see it in the newspaper coverage at the time that there's reporters who are planning on being in the courtroom every day, who are planning - you know, and they're recording with great detail everything that happens. And then the news coverage sort of dwindles over time because nobody can follow what's going on, and the case is so chaotic and the courtroom is so uncomfortable and it's so out of control. Judge Eicher's seven months into the trial when the prosecution, which goes first in a criminal trial, they weren't even halfway through their presentation seven months into it already. He felt ill one day in the courtroom, went home and died in his sleep that night.
The defendants were given the option that they could allow another judge to come in and pick up where the trial left off, and the defendants did not want to do that. They wanted to start all over again from day one. And of course, they did, because I think the bedlam and chaos in the courtroom was to their benefit at this point. The Justice Department then had to decide whether they were going to do that, whether they were going to start over from day one or whether they were just going to dismiss the charges and let it go. And they let that decision linger for quite a long time, and one of the things that happened in the interim, while it was still possible they could restart the trial, is that the prosecutor asked leave from the court to go to Germany.
A U.S. Army captain who was part of the Nuremberg prosecutions contacted this prosecutor, John Rogge, at the Justice Department and said, hey, you know, we're interrogating these Nazi leaders here, and all of your sedition defendants' names keep coming up when we're interrogating these Nazis about who they were working with in the United States and what they were trying to do. You ought to see this evidence. And Rogge went to Germany to collect that evidence and then brought it back to the Justice Department and - for them to inform their decision as to whether or not to proceed with the case.
GROSS: And they proceeded with the case.
MADDOW: They did not proceed with the case, which is a remarkable...
GROSS: They did not proceed.
MADDOW: No. They allowed the mistrial to be the end of the story. And Rogge's report from Germany, with all the evidence that was collected from German officials confirming the central charges of the sedition case - that these Americans had been receiving support from Germany, that they were working in cahoots with the German government to try to overthrow the U.S. government and install fascism here - he brought all this evidence back including the names of 24 members of the House and Senate who had been involved in the propaganda part of this operation.
He brought it all back. He gave it to the attorney general. The attorney general brought it straight to the White House, by then occupied by Harry Truman. And Harry Truman said, this report will never see the light of day. This is not a report that will be made to the American people. This will not be given to the court. This will - this is over. This is done. This cannot come out.
GROSS: Well, let me reintroduce you again. If you're just joining us, my guest is Rachel Maddow. Her new podcast series, "Ultra," is about plots from the ultra-right groups to overthrow the U.S. government in the years leading up to World War II. We'll be right back. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF KYLE EASTWOOD'S "SAMBA DE PARIS")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to my interview with Rachel Maddow. Her new podcast series, "Ultra," is about plots from ultra-right groups to overthrow the U.S. government in the years leading up to World War II.
So none of the congressmen who were colluding with Hitler's Germany ever got indicted. Is that right?
MADDOW: That's right. And it's a good question as to why not.
GROSS: Yeah, why not?
MADDOW: (Laughter) Well, I mean, Viereck himself, who was the German agent, was charged. And in his individual trial and, again, in the evidence that was brought forward against him in the sedition trial, the government laid out what he was doing with these members of Congress including paying them to do this work that had been assigned to him by the Hitler government. So they had the evidence of it. The Justice Department did bring in a couple of members of Congress to testify to the grand jury. They did indict one congressional staffer. They had a lot of evidence about members of Congress having been part of this plot, and they chose not to indict the members. And there isn't an explanation from that that I think all parties would admit to.
But my view, having sort of marinated in this research for the past year or more, is that the Justice Department just did not want to incur more ire and more wrath from the members of Congress who were already giving them such a hard time for this case. Members of Congress knew they were implicated. They knew what they had done. And they did everything they could to try to get this prosecution blown up from getting, first, one and then the second prosecutor in the case fired by political pressure.
They - in one case, one of the members of Congress who was brought in to testify to the grand jury and who had his congressional staffer indicted, he tried to get the sedition law taken off the books. So it would result in the American justice system no longer having that available as a charge to bring against people who did these things. They really did everything they could to make life miserable for the Justice Department in pursuing this and in so doing, protected themselves, I believe, from being charged when the evidence existed that would have justified a charge.
GROSS: So the legal system never held anybody accountable for this sedition and for the violence that these ultra-right-wing groups were behind, and the congressmen weren't held accountable. Did the people hold the colluders accountable?
MADDOW: Yes, in almost every instance. And this was a surprise to me and a really interesting part of the research. This, as a prosecution, didn't work. But the Justice Department's investigation was of interest to the public. It was done at the same time that there was a lot of journalistic and even activist investigation of these matters. There was really good investigative reporting both in book form and in magazine-and-newspaper journalism done about these scandals at the time. There were activist groups who infiltrated some of these violent ultra-right groups and then publicized their findings about what those groups were doing. They not only brought it to law enforcement; they brought it to the press and made sure that people knew what was happening.
And the result from the public was that almost all the members of Congress who were implicated in this, including some who were seen as presidential timber, some of whom were among the most popular and powerful members of Congress, of their - household names - almost to a one, they were voted out as soon as they came back up before the voters, either voted out in primaries or voted out in general elections including huge figures at the time like Gerald Nye from North Dakota and Burton Wheeler from Montana and Hamilton Fish from New York.
And all of these very powerful, very famous members were thrown out on their ear because constituents and, in some cases, their political parties recognized that - recognized what they'd been doing to help the Nazis. It was a form of political accountability that worked even when criminal accountability fell short.
GROSS: And now there are sedition trials pertaining to the Jan. 6 insurrection. And the first sedition trial against leaders of the militia group the Oath Keepers found two leaders guilty of seditious conspiracy. There is another Oath Keepers sedition trial going on now and a sedition trial of leaders of another militia group, the Proud Boys, that's about to start. Do you find it amazing the parallels between the period you're writing about, the years leading up to World War II, and now?
MADDOW: It is a little unnerving. I didn't plan it this way. But we published the first episode of the podcast when opening statements started in the first Oath Keepers sedition trial. And the final episode came out on the day before the verdicts. So I didn't mean for it to be that tightly sort of correlated over time with the history, but the cases have a lot in common. And it does make me feel like studying this history and being clear on what went right and what went wrong the last time our country faced something like this might be helpful because apparently this stuff recurs and we should learn from how we handled it in the past and from what Americans who - from what Americans who went before us were able to do to fight this stuff effectively in the past. We should learn from them.
GROSS: Rachel, you've basically given up a lot of real estate on MSNBC to pursue long-term projects like "Ultra." So you're only hosting your show one night a week on MSNBC Monday nights. And you're also doing special coverage, which means you've been on MSNBC probably more than you planned (laughter). But I'm curious what it's like - you know, having done a daily show myself for many years - what it's like to, you know, still be on the air but not have it be a daily show. I'm also wondering about the adrenaline. I think those of us who are on, like, constant deadline work kind of feed off the adrenaline in a way. And I hate to admit this because I know constant adrenaline is really unhealthy for a lot of reasons, but it is kind of energizing. But it can get too much like having too much coffee to drink does. So what's it like to not have that daily constant deadline adrenaline coursing through your body?
MADDOW: It's - you are zooming in on the central things in my life right now. I mean, the pressure of a daily production deadline, it does two things. One, it sends adrenaline coursing through you, for good or for ill, probably for good in the short term and for ill in the long term. But it also forces a sort of focus and structure on what you're doing. You've got a specific time by which the show has to be done, by which things need to be locked down, by which broadcast happens. And that enforces a kind of structure and a kind of stop-start time on your day. And you know when it's done. I've still got that on Mondays. I'm still living that in a way, and when we do election coverage and special coverage, as you said. But now working on these longer-term projects, I don't have that same daily production adrenaline dose, but I also don't have the structure, which means I don't have the off switch.
GROSS: Did you have to think a really long time before deciding to actually make that really big change in your life? I mean, your show is the flagship show on MSNBC. And this is - for getting - being concerned with what would happen to your staff after you left, because I know that you made a deal with MSNBC that they would continue to have jobs, which is really admirable on your part. I applaud you for doing that. But how hard was it to make the decision that you were going to make a major change in your work life?
MADDOW: I knew that I needed to make the change for me just in terms of my health. I've had a lot of back trouble over the last five years, and that is something that I've sort of mediated a little bit through physical therapy and sort of changing the way that I physically work and everything. But bottom line, that's about working, you know, 10 to 12 hours a day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year for more than 12 or 13 years. I mean, there's sort of a - there's a bottom line there that I knew I needed to make some kind of change.
So the question, I think, for me was, do I just sort of retire or do I just stop working and become a totally different person, or do I try to change my job? And ultimately, MSNBC sort of came to me, and we worked out over a series of negotiations a way that it would work for me to change my job instead of leave my job. And that is the right solution because I do have the best staff working in news. And they are absolutely phenomenal. And I want them all to keep working in news and keep working with me and keep working with me both on the time that I'm on MSNBC and on other projects. And that's working out great so far.
I know that a lot of people are disappointed who liked what I was doing on TV five days a week and in some ways counted on it. But I think mostly people have been understanding that, you know, you can't can't do it forever. And, Terry, I'm sure you know a little bit of how this feels. You know, you've built something that really succeeds and that really works and that people really count on. And you don't want to let anybody down. But, you know, you also can't kill yourself for the work. Part of what makes this so valuable is what you bring to it. And if you would be - if you can't bring what you know you want to to the table because it's just too much work over too much time, being honest about that is right - is the right thing for everybody.
GROSS: If you're just joining us, my guest is Rachel Maddow. And her new podcast series, "Ultra," is about plots from ultra-right groups in the U.S. to overthrow the U.S. government in the years leading up to World War II. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to my interview with Rachel Maddow, who still hosts "The Rachel Maddow Show" Monday nights on MSNBC. She gave up hosting the rest of the week to work on long-term projects like her new podcast series "Ultra," which is about plots from ultra-right groups to overthrow the U.S. government in the years leading up to World War II.
You mentioned having back trouble for the past five years. I always think of you as a real, like, outdoorsy, athletic person. I know you were, like, an athlete - I think you were an athlete in high school. And you're always talking about, like, going fishing and doing outdoorsy kinds of things. How has back trouble interfered, if at all, with the kind of activities you like to do?
MADDOW: A lot. When my - I threw my back out kind of really suddenly in the spring of 2017. And I - it turned out that I had all these herniated discs, and I had to consider surgery and all this stuff. And it's been sort of a long, slow climb back from that with physical therapy and everything. But having that kind of pain and having that kind of sort of sudden onset disability that I experienced when this happened to me in 2017 was scary to me, not only because of the pain but because it sort of immediately cut off from me all the things that I do to keep myself sane. And I have had a lifelong issue with depression, and some of the ways that I deal with depression it also cut off from me. Basically, the ways that I take care of myself are exercise and sleep as my main drugs of choice, and hurting my back meant that I really couldn't do either. I couldn't sleep anymore, and I couldn't exercise at all for a long time.
And I - it was almost panicking in terms of not knowing how I was going to get out of it. Those are my coping mechanisms, and all of a sudden, I didn't have any ability to cope, and boy, did I have a lot of stuff I needed to cope with. So that sort of, I think, started me thinking that I needed to do something drastically different. I'm substantially better now. And I'm not out there running or doing anything else like that that I can't do anymore because that's behind me now because of the back. But I am able to go fishing and dog walking and all that stuff that I love and chopping wood, a lot of stuff that keeps me off the therapist's couch.
GROSS: What was it like to learn to live with pain?
MADDOW: Frustrating and humbling. I mean, it makes you realize the limitations of your will. You know, you can't will yourself to not feel pain, and you can't will yourself to have physical functions that you don't have anymore. And so it - for me, I'm a person who I think tries to kind of grin and bear it through most things. My personal motto ever since I was a teenager was never let them see you sweat. Like, don't let anybody know anything's bothering you. And it's - you can't do that. You have to ask for help, and you need to rebuild yourself. And that sort of humility is probably good for the ego and good for the soul, but it's just more pain in the moment.
GROSS: Yeah. Well, you master pain really well, I have to say.
MADDOW: (Laughter).
GROSS: As a viewer, I never had a clue that you were hurting.
MADDOW: Thank you.
GROSS: I knew you were concerned about American democracy; I didn't know you were concerned about your back.
MADDOW: Success.
GROSS: Yes. Rachel Maddow, it's been great to talk with you again. And congratulations on "Ultra," on the success of "Ultra" and on the fact that Steven Spielberg hopes to make it into a movie (laughter). So that's all pretty exciting. It's really been great to talk with you again.
MADDOW: You too, Terry. Thank you so much. This is fantastic. Thank you.
GROSS: Rachel Maddow's podcast series is called "Ultra." Yesterday, it was announced that Steven Spielberg's production company optioned the movie rights.

Georgetown Law professor on the Jan. 6 committee's final hearing
By Lee Hale,
Linah Mohammad , Ashley Brown, Juana Summers
The final hearing of the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol wrapped up this afternoon, officially making Donald Trump the first former president to ever be subject to criminal referrals from Congress. The four referrals the panel made against him are obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement and incite, assist or aid and comfort an insurrection. Committee leaders alluded to evidence and testimony from dozens of witnesses gathered over the last year about the former president's role in the attack.
LIZ CHENEY: The Capitol was invaded, the electoral count was halted and the lives of those in the Capitol were put at risk. In addition to being unlawful, as described in our report, this was an utter moral failure.
BENNIE THOMPSON: We have every confidence that the work of this committee will help provide a road map to justice.
SUMMERS: Let's hear more about where that road map may lead with Paul Butler, Georgetown University law professor and former federal prosecutor. Thanks for being here.
PAUL BUTLER: Great to be here.
SUMMERS: So you used to respond to criminal referrals when you worked at the DOJ, and you have watched, along with all of us, the panel's investigation unfold. Is there anything that you've seen or heard that feels like a slam dunk for the Justice Department to pursue prosecution on the charges laid out?
BUTLER: There are no slam dunks when it comes to what would be the first prosecution of a former president in history. And the House referral carries no legal weight. The Justice Department is an independent agency that takes its marching orders not from Congress, but from the attorney general and, in this case, special counsel Jack Smith. Still, federal prosecutors will scour the evidence that thousands gathered, including the hundreds of thousands of documents, text messages and emails and the statements of more than 1,000 witnesses.
SUMMERS: So just walking us through this here. What could, perhaps, stop the Justice Department from pursuing prosecution?
BUTLER: You know, it's very difficult to prove criminal intent. You have to prove what's going on in someone's mind. If Donald Trump, in good faith, honestly believe that he won the election, that's a defense to many of the crimes that are - he's being consider - that DOJ is considering prosecuting him for. The government would have to prove that Trump knew that he lost and he just didn't care.
SUMMERS: Earlier, you mentioned special counsel Jack Smith, who the Justice Department already has investigating the January 6 insurrection. So how does the House committee's work come into play for Smith and his team?
BUTLER: So the evidence will inform DOJ's and special counsel Smith's decision about whether to bring criminal charges, with the caution that it's much easier to present a case in a one-sided hearing, like today, rather than in a criminal trial, where some of the evidence that the House considered might not even be admitted and where 12 jurors would have to be persuaded beyond a reasonable doubt.
SUMMERS: We've got about a minute left to gather the road map that committee Chairman Bennie Thompson mentioned. It's vast - hundreds of thousands of pages of documents and testimony from more than a thousand interviews. How long might it be before we have a sense of what the Department of Justice is going to do here?
BUTLER: The Justice Department isn't supposed to think about politics, but it's allowed to notice that there's a presidential election coming up in two years. Chairman Thompson said today he hoped the report would be a road map to justice. And a prosecution of a former president would be historic and unprecedented. But it's also a must-win case for the Justice Department because there's no guarantee it would actually win.
And - really quickly - DOJ officials also understand that declining to prosecute would be symbolic as well. It will express to some people that Trump is innocent. And under the law, that would be exactly right if there's no prosecution. But some other people would say that Trump had enough money and power to get away with criminal conduct and that DOJ would have failed to hold the president accountable. So the stakes are really high.
SUMMERS: Stakes are high.
BUTLER: And whatever DOJ does is going to be very controversial.
SUMMERS: Former federal prosecutor and Georgetown law professor Paul Butler, thank you so much.
BUTLER: Always a pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Cleveland's Baseball Team Has Played Its Last Game At Home Under Its Current Name

Cleveland's Major League Baseball team has taken the field at home for the last time under its current name, beating the Kansas City Royals by a score of 8-3 on Monday.
The team has been known as the Cleveland Indians since 1915 but announced in 2020 that it would drop that name, which Indigenous activists fought for years to change.
The team plays six more road games before the season — and era — ends and its name changes to the Cleveland Guardians.
The new name is a tribute to the iconic Guardians of Traffic statues on the bridge over the Cuyahoga River, which leads downtown and to Progressive Field, the team's home stadium.

Two guardians rest on the Hope Memorial Bridge within site of Progressive Field in Cleveland on July 23.
The team announced it would drop the name last December as part of its efforts to be more inclusive. It stopped using the racist Chief Wahoo cartoon on team gear in 2018. The change will become official during the offseason.
The old logo will be slow to disappear among fans, writes Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com. But David C. Barnett of member station WCPN says the Guardian image is already visible around town.
"It is on T-shirts. It is on beer bottles. It is on even shower curtains," Barnett told WBUR's Here & Now. "It's part of the DNA of the city."

Jews, Christians and Christian-Jews: An Introduction to Judaism for Christians | Wycliffe College
Jews, Christians and Christian-Jews: An Introduction to Judaism for Christians
Monday, May 18, 2020 to Friday, July 10, 2020
Theological
Andrew Barron
WYT2801HF
The course explores Judaism in terms of the intersection of Jewish and Christian faith. This course will explore Jewish origins of the Christian movement, its modern counterpart in the Modern Messianic Jewish Movement, and the context out of which both movements emerged. The course will examine the origins of rabbinic Judaism and how it developed in conversation with Christianity. It will survey Jewish history and the evolution of rabbinic Judaism. We will discuss contemporary Jewish beliefs, practices, culture, and identity in North America explored through a Christian lens. Special attention will be given to the Canadian Jewish community, her relationship with the Church, and ways Christian faith may be deepened through positive engagement with the Jewish community and appreciation of Christianity’s Jewish origins.
This is a remote course. Each week a video will be posted. Students are required to watch the video, read the assigned readings and then engage in both the discussion board and the synchronous Zoom sessions. The delivery of this course will be primarily asynchronous to provide flexibility for students. 6 out of 8 weeks students will be given the opportunity to participate in a live, synchronous discussion. Participation in this discussion is required at least 3 times over the 8-week course. If a student cannot accommodate this due to their schedule, they must contact the course professor to arrange an alternative assignment.
Synchronous discussion will be on Fridays in week 3-8 @ either 8 AM or 4 pm for one hour
In order to avoid academic and financial penalties, coure must be dropped by June 1, 2020.

Group: Tesla workers fired after union push at NY plant
Several employees at a Tesla factory in New York have been fired a day after launching union organizing efforts, according to Tesla Workers United, but the company says they’re not related.
The workers at the Buffalo plant received an email Wednesday evening updating them on a new policy that prohibits them from recording workplace meetings without all participants’ permission, Tesla Workers United said Thursday. The group, which is behind the union movement, said that such restrictions violate federal labor law and flouts New York’s one-party consent law to record conversations.
“We’re angry. This won’t slow us down. This won’t stop us,” Sara Costantino, a current Tesla employee and organizing committee member, said in a prepared statement. “They want us to be scared, but I think they just started a stampede. We can do this. But I believe we will do this.”
In a statement, Tesla said the terminations were the result of poor ratings on performance reviews that were conducted before the union campaign was announced. The list of employees being dismissed was finalized Feb. 3, and Tesla became aware of organizing activities Feb. 13, the company said.
“We learned in hindsight that one out of the 27 impacted employees officially identified as part of the union campaign,” Tesla said. “This exercise pre-dated any union campaign.”
TWU said that the firings were unacceptable and that the expectations placed on Tesla workers are “unfair, unattainable, ambiguous and ever changing.” The Tesla plant, which makes solar panels and other renewable energy technology, is not far from a Starbucks location where workers voted to unionize last year.
“I feel blindsided, I got COVID and was out of the office, then I had to take a bereavement leave. I returned to work, was told I was exceeding expectations and then Wednesday came along,” organizing committee member Arian Berek, who is one of the fired employees, said in a statement. “I strongly feel this is in retaliation to the committee announcement, and it’s shameful.”
The Rochester Regional Joint Board of Workers United has filed a complaint against Tesla with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing the electric vehicle maker of unfair labor practices.
In the complaint, the group lists the names of several employees who were part of the factory’s autopilot department that were fired. The group says that it believes Tesla “terminated these individuals in retaliation for union activity and to discourage union activity.” It is asking the NLRB for injunctive relief “to prevent irreparable destruction of employee rights resulting from Tesla’s unlawful conduct.”
On Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said without specifically referring to the situation at the Tesla plant in Buffalo that, “the president supports fundamental rights for workers under the National Labor Relations Act, including the right to organize free from intimidation or coercion.”
As part of union organizing efforts, the Tesla Workers United organizing committee said in a letter to management Tuesday that employees are seeking a voice on the job at the plant in Buffalo and want to “build an even more collaborative environment that will strengthen the company.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has taken a hard line against organized labor, despite an invitation to the United Auto Workers union to hold an organizing vote at Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California. In 2021 Tesla was ordered by the National Labor Relations Board to make Musk delete a 2018 tweet in which it said that he unlawfully threatened employees with loss of stock options if they chose to be represented by the UAW.

In 2017, underwear manufacturers believe that it is very important to bring a sense of immersion to the sales scene of women's underwear
Women's underwear, MM's personal intimacy“best friend”, In addition to protecting the body of MM, it is more and more important to be healthy and fashionable and to shape the perfect self. Nowadays, there are countless underwear manufacturers in the world, and the women's underwear produced is even more dazzling. The sales of women's underwear has also entered a state of fierce competition. How to make your women's underwear sales stand out from the many peers? In 2017, we knitted the underwear manufacturer and believed that women's underwear sales might as well try to join scene marketing. Today is the era of the Internet. People are looking for underwear manufacturers to buy women's underwear. MM is used to searching online. If a man wants to buy a piece of women's underwear as a gift for his beloved, he will choose to buy it directly online.
One of the biggest drawbacks of online shopping is that you can't really touch and feel the real thing. Everything is decided by visual or auditory perception. Therefore, it is very important for women's underwear sales to be embedded in scene sales.
The so-called scene-based sales of women's underwear means that underwear manufacturers or merchants can invite some professional women's underwear models to try on women's underwear in a certain set scene, and visually display them from different angles, allowing you to find such women online. When it comes to underwear products, use your imagination to give you a sense of scene. Another very important way to bring a sense of immersion in women's underwear sales scenes is video. One way is to ask professional women's underwear models to shoot some videos to show customers, so that when customers buy women's underwear, there is a kind of hint that they are models. What does it feel like to wear it? Another way is the more popular way of selling women's underwear through live broadcast. That is, some Internet celebrities try on women's underwear through live video live broadcast, explain and interact on the spot to sell women's underwear, and at the same time, they can also answer customers' doubts on the spot.
At present, many underwear manufacturers and underwear merchants are trying to do these three kinds of women's underwear sales. The pictures of women's underwear sold in the scene are a static display, and the video mode of women's underwear models further gives customers a sense of immersion in their thinking. The most effective way to sell women's underwear through live video is that it has relatively high requirements for selling online celebrities. She must have a certain understanding of women's underwear products, and at the same time Zuohao has a certain popularity and a certain number of fans.
In 2017, we knitted the seamless knitted women's underwear factory. We believe that the sales of women's underwear really want to give users a sense of being in the scene and satisfy the user's tactile feelings. The sales of women's underwear with scenes are particularly important.

How to Use User-Generated Content in Your Marketing Activities
We’ve covered the topic of what user-generated content (UGC) is and discussed the benefits that this kind of content has to offer small businesses in a previous post. Now, let’s have a quick look at a practical example of how to use user-generated content in your digital marketing activities.
A form of user-generated content that is often overlooked is customer reviews and testimonials. While they might not seem as fancy as a series of influencer selfies, they are an invaluable asset to building trust, increasing engagement, and driving sales.
Here’s how you can make this kind of content work for your business.
For Product Businesses: Product Reviews
Product reviews are a type of UGC that can help small businesses showcase the benefits of their products to potential customers. By displaying product reviews on your website or social media platforms, you can provide social proof and demonstrate the value of your products. For example, a small bakery could ask customers to leave a review of their favourite pastry on their Facebook page.
For Service Businesses: Customer Testimonials
Customer testimonials are a type of UGC that is applicable to small service businesses. This kind of content can be used to showcase the benefits of the services that the business offers. By displaying testimonials on your website or social media platforms, you can build trust with potential customers and demonstrate the value of your services. For example, a small cleaning company could ask customers to post a testimonial about their experience on their Instagram page or in their Stories.
Both customer testimonials and product reviews also help manage the expectations of your potential customers by giving them a better idea of what to expect when buying your product or service. What’s more, this kind of content can be used and reused in many different formats. Where the original format might be a written sentence or two on your website or social media page, what you can create with this kind of content is astounding!
Here’s how you can use customer reviews and testimonials to create different kinds of content:
Images: Turn customer reviews and testimonials into visually appealing graphics and share them on your social media platforms.
Case Studies: Use customer testimonials and reviews to create detailed case studies showcasing how your products or services have helped solve a specific problem for your customers.
Blog Posts: Write blog posts about customer reviews and testimonials to show your audience what your customers are saying about your business. This can also help with search engine optimization (SEO).
Video Content: Create videos featuring customer testimonials, either in an interview format or as a video montage of customer reviews.
Email Marketing: Use customer reviews and testimonials in your email marketing campaigns to build trust and credibility with your audience. You can also include them in your Abandoned Cart Emails if you have such a functionality installed on your website.

Government transparency meeting focuses on Dalio partnership
By Marc E. Fitch August 21 , 2019
At a town hall style meeting on government transparency at the Capitol Tuesday, one subject was on everyone’s mind – the $200 million public/private partnership between the state of Connecticut and the Dalio Foundation.
The town hall meeting was organized by Gwen Samuel of the Connecticut Parents Union, an organization that focuses on education. Speakers included Representatives Gail Lavielle, R-Wilton, and Vincent Candelora, R-Branford, Thomas Hennick of the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission and Kirk Allen and John Kraft of the Edgar County Watchdogs based in Illinois.
The partnership between the state of Connecticut and the Dalio Foundation – the philanthropic organization funded by billionaire Ray Dalio – has been the subject of much legislative in-fighting and conjecture over the past year.
Passed as part of the overall state budget, the Dalio Foundation will contribute $20 million per year over the next five years, which the state of Connecticut will match, to form a nonprofit organization called The Partnership for Connecticut.
The partnership also plans to gain an additional $100 million in support from other organizations.
The planned $300 million will be used to shape education programming, reach out to disengaged students, measure and monitor educational outcomes and “utilize practices with demonstrated positive impact in Connecticut or other states,” according to Gov. Ned Lamont’s press release.
The $300 million will be managed by a board consisting of legislative leaders and representatives from the Dalio Foundation, but the plan came under fire when it was determined the board would not be subject to the state’s Freedom of Information laws, which raised protest from Republicans and some progressive Democrats like Rep. Josh Elliott, D-Hamden.
It also drew the ire of CT Parents Union. Samuel said that, at first, she was happy private business would invest in Connecticut’s schools but became suspicious when she found out the partnership would be able to skirt transparency laws.
“I wanted to understand, how can there be anything private in public spaces with public dollars?” Samuel said. “As people are working hard every single day to put food on their table, to keep a roof over their head, to make informed decisions to give their children the best education possible.”
What has happened here — unless something changes — is that suddenly this private foundation is being allowed to be in the position of taking on the role of public officials and government. It is being allowed to by virtue of its generous donation of funds.
Rep. Gail Lavielle, R-Wilton
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced that lawmakers serving on the partnership board will still be subject to FOI laws, but Lavielle and Candelora pointed out that there appears to be a lot of “murky” areas regarding the partnership.
“What has happened here – unless something changes – is that suddenly this private foundation is being allowed to be in the position of taking on the role of public officials and government,” Lavielle said. “It is being allowed to by virtue of its generous donation of funds.”
“This organization is a private corporation,” Candelora said. “The money that gets allocated to it the corporation will be able to spend any way the corporation deems appropriate.”
Candelora notes that the majority of the corporation board will be made up of Dalio Foundation representatives who are private citizens.
One interesting thing to note is that this corporation has already filed all its corporate documents, frankly, prior to the legislation being passed. The chairwoman was selected prior to the board even meeting. As far as we know, there hasn’t even been a meeting yet, but the directors have already selected their officers.
Rep. Vincent Candelora, R-Branford
“One interesting thing to note is that this corporation has already filed all its corporate documents, fankly, prior to the legislation being passed,” Candelora said. “The chairwoman was selected prior to the board even meeting. As far as we know, there hasn’t even been a meeting yet, but the directors have already selected their officers.”
“We, as the legislature, need to act to bring legitimacy to it by bringing transparency to it,” Candelora said.
According to Candelora, the state has only budgeted $20 million toward the Partnership in the first year but not for any of the remaining four years, meaning the legislature will have to debate on how to fund the Partnership moving forward.
Lavielle said the first $20 million came from the state’s surplus funds, which were labeled “excess funds,” in the legislation.
“One of the problems with this particular piece of legislation is that there were no public hearings,” said Thomas Hennicker, public information officer for the Freedom of Information Commission. “This is something that happens, we fight this all the time with Freedom of Information because the budget bill or implementer will pop up with things in it that are against transparency that we never knew, that they slide in at the last moment.”
Kirk Allen of the Edgar County Watchdogs – a citizens’ government watchdog group in Illinois which claims to have forced over 300 public officials out of office – said that every citizen can hold government officials accountable by asking, “Says who and with what proof?”
“When the message is on point and it’s on statute, you will always win,” Allen said. “And if you keep it on that and stay out of the politics of it you will win every single time, because it’s the truth that sets us free.”
The meeting took place at a time when, across the Legislative Office Building, the Transportation Committee was hearing testimony regarding alleged financial mismanagement and misuse of funds by the quasi-public Connecticut Port Authority.

Why do you need a Realtor?
When buying or selling a home, there are so many options…which can also present a lot of obstacles. Laws change, forms change, and practices change all the time in the real estate industry.

Which loan should you choose?
There are two different types of loans conventional loans and government-backed loans. The main difference is who insures these loans:
1 - Government-backed loans (FHA, VA and USDA):
(a) - Are, unsurprisingly, backed by the government.
(b) - Include FHA loans, VA loans, and USDA loans.
(c) - Make up less than 40 percent of the home loans generated in the U.S. each year.
2 - Conventional loans
(a) - Are not backed by the government.
(b) - Include conforming and non-conforming loans (such as jumbo loans).
(c) - Make up more than 60 percent of the loans generated in the U.S. each year.
What is the difference between FHA, VA and USDA loans?
1 - FHA LOANS:
FHA loans, which are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, are typically designed to meet the needs of first-time homebuyers with low or moderate incomes. FHA loans can be approved with a down payment of as little as 3.5 percent and a credit score as low as 580.
FHA loans are often called “helper loans,” because they give a leg up to potential borrowers who may not be able to secure one otherwise. For this reason, FHA loans have maximum lending limits, which are determined based on housing values for the county where the for-sale home is located.
Because the agency is taking on more risk by insuring FHA loans, the borrower is expected to pay mortgage insurance both at the time of closing and on a monthly basis, and the property must be owner-occupied.
2 - VA LOANS:
VA loans are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and they are guaranteed to qualified veterans and active-duty personnel and their spouses. VA loans can be approved with 100 percent financing, meaning VA borrowers are not required to make a down payment.
Unlike FHA loans, borrowers do not have to pay mortgage insurance on VA loans.
3 - USDA LOANS:
You may also hear about USDA loans, which are backed by the United States Department of Agriculture mortgage program. USDA loans are intended to support homeowners who purchase homes in rural and some suburban areas. USDA loans do not require a down payment and may offer lower interest rates; borrowers may have to pay a small mortgage insurance premium in order to offset the lender’s risk.
What’s a conventional loan? Understanding what it means to be conforming and non-conforming
Buyers who have a more established credit history and a larger down payment may prefer to apply for a conventional loan. These loans may offer a lower interest rate and only require the home buyer to purchase monthly mortgage insurance while the loan-to-value ratio is above a certain percentage, so a conventional loan borrower can typically save money in the long run.
Conventional loans are divided into two types: Conforming loans and non-conforming loans.
1 - CONFORMING LOANS:
Conforming loans are those that meet (or conform to) predetermined standards set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — two government-sponsored institutions that buy and sell mortgages on the secondary market. By selling the loans to "Fannie and Freddie," lenders can free up their capital and return to issue more mortgages than if they had to personally back every loan that they approve.
The main standard for conforming loans is that the amount borrowed must be under a certain amount; in Alaska, a single-family home loan must be under $647,200 in order to be considered conforming.
Properties with more than one unit have higher limits.
2 - NON-CONFORMING (JUMBO) LOANS:
But what happens if a borrower wants to borrow more than the Freddie- and Fannie-approved loan amount? In this case, they would have to apply for a “jumbo loan,” which is the most common type of non-conforming loan.
Because the lender cannot resell the jumbo loan (or any non-conforming loan) to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, jumbo loans are considered to be riskier than a conforming loan. To protect against this risk, the bank will typically require a higher down payment; the interest rate on a jumbo loan may also be higher than if the same borrower applied for a conforming loan.
What kind of rate should you choose?
Rate types: Fixed-rate vs. adjustable-rate mortgages.
In addition to the loan type you choose, you’ll also have to determine if you want a fixed-rate mortgage or an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that does not change for the life of the loan, so it provides predictable monthly payments of principal and interest.
An adjustable-rate mortgage typically offers an initial introductory period with a low-interest rate. Once this period is over, the interest rate adjusts periodically, based on the market index. The initial interest rate on an ARM can sometimes be locked in for different periods, such as one, three, five, seven, or 10 years. Once the introductory period is over, the interest rate typically readjusts annually.

Pregnancy Complications Could Mean Lifelong Heart Risks for Women
February 3, 2023 Zen Linked
By Cara Murez
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2023 (HealthDay News) — Major pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and preterm birth, should be recognized as lifelong risk factors for women’s heart disease, new research suggests.
Women who experience any of the five major pregnancy complications have an increased risk of ischemic heart disease up to 46 years after delivery, says the study published Feb. 1 in the BMJ.
The five complications are: preterm delivery (less than 37 weeks gestation), small baby for gestational age at birth, preeclampsia (a blood pressure disorder), other blood pressure disorders of pregnancy, and gestational diabetes.
“Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes should be considered for early preventive evaluation and long-term risk reduction to help prevent the development of ischemic heart disease,” the study authors said in a journal news release. Dr. Casey Crump, from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, led the research team.
Nearly one-third of women experience an adverse pregnancy outcome, the authors said in background notes. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women worldwide.
For the study, U.S. and Swedish researchers identified more than 2.1 million women in Sweden with no history of heart disease. Each had given birth to a single live infant between 1973 and 2015 at an average age of 27.
Using medical records, the researchers tracked cases of heart disease from delivery date through 2018. This was an average follow-up time of 25 years.
They considered the mothers’ age, number of children, education, income, body mass index, smoking and history of high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol.
Heart disease was diagnosed in more than 83,000 — or almost 4% — of women at an average age of 58.
The researchers found that in the 10 years after delivery, relative rates of heart disease rose 1.7-fold in those with a history of preterm delivery and 1.5-fold in women with preeclampsia. Moreover, they rose twofold in women with other high blood pressure disorders of pregnancy. In addition, risk of heart disease rose 1.3-fold in those with gestational diabetes and 1.1-fold in those who delivered a small-for-gestational-age infant.
Women who had experienced several adverse pregnancy outcomes showed further increases in risk.
These risks remained significantly elevated 30 to 46 years after delivery. They were only partially explained by shared genetic or environmental factors within families, the researchers noted.
The study can’t prove a direct cause and effect relationship, however.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on women and heart disease.

Extremism in Syria, Geopolitics, and Future Scenarios
One of the central themes that have been dominating the media lately regarding the Syrian crisis has been the participation of (Islamist) extremist elements in both of the camps of the civil war. What is the situation now in Syria, and what might the current developments hold for its future?
It is by now well known that the ethno-religious synthesis of Syria is making the conflict even more complicated than the external interests involved already make it. In light of this, the recent reports on the exploitation of the struggle from Islamist groups and the regional and global responses to the crisis point to a serious escalation of the conflict.
After the important move from the part of the Arab League to politically legitimize the Syrian opposition (Syrian National Coalition) by offering it Assad’s seat at the latest summit in Qatar, things have taken a turn for the worse. This might not be directly – or at least, obviously – related to other events but it shows how political and military developments go hand in hand as the crisis escalates. Of course, there were reports on Islamist groups operating in Syria before that, such as the jihadist Salafists from Gaza. According to Asmaa al-Ghoul, the Gaza Salafists see Syria as a good opportunity for conducting jihad, unlike Gaza where “the door…is closed”. The leader of the group, which joined the Syrian group Jabhat al-Nursa, also remarked that their ideology is the same with that of al-Qaeda.

“Battle For Syria: View from the Frontline” – An Alternative Perspective
“This is not a revolution. They are terrorists who live in America, France, in Istanbul.” – Syrian civilian[1]
“Battle for Syria: View from the Frontline” is a mini documentary filmed by the Russian POCCИЯ 24 TV channel. What is particularly interesting about this documentary is that it was filmed in the battle fields of Syria, following the forces of the Syrian (regime) army around. Thus, the whole project offers an entirely different perspective on the Syrian conflict from the one the western media present – both in terms of the actual conflict and the not so projected view of the regime. Throughout the documentary one can realize that certain features stand out as they are being emphasized: 1) the military tactics of the Free Syrian Army (i.e. rebels); the struggle of the Syrian Army (i.e. regime) as a counter-terrorism campaign; and the composition of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).

In Flanders Field the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row.
World War I began a hundred years ago today. In the next four and a half years, seven million civilians and eight and a half million soldiers were killed, and twenty million were severely wounded. And 25 years later, World War II began.
Here’s one of the northern France killing fields today:
And here’s one of the cemeteries. Most of the headstones are inscribed “A Soldier of the Great War, Known Only Unto God.” There are not enough red poppies in the world for this:

How ironic those red blood color flowers are growing on battle field.
Fatma Kalkan
That’s why they’re the flower of World War I remembrance in the UK: they’re the first things that grow back after the devastation.
My Mom and I were in London one year on Remembrance Day and we saved the paper poppies that were given to us. She used to place them on the Christmas tree and I have carried on the tradition.
pah says:
perhaps God sent the poppies to remind us of the beauty of life, and how we humans chose war over peace…
Judith says:
All war is an illusion. Nobody really wins – somebody declares themselves a winner . Peace is developmental. You can only have peace when you are ready. You can not expect a tribal people to embrace democracy as you cannot expect a 2 month old baby to drive a car. They are not ready. We lie to our soldiers, destroy thier lives and bodies and give them a parade. How obsene.
Zmurrad says:
By the way, democracy is not the only answer to all the problems of the world. Lack of respect for the dignity of the ‘ other’ is the reason that leads to bigger conflicts. Let us all learn the ‘GOLDEN RULE.’
Hugh McCauley says:
It seems that there will always be wars and rumors of wars. It has been that way since the first two tribes in unrecorded ancient times began to covet, invade, enslave and kill. We don’t know why this is still the way of the world and yet civilized peace is not really so rare.

Here's one from Burt's early 70's era, composed with Bacharachian overtones...
(sustainato brass and galloping major ninth chords...)
a real favorite of mine by Hank Mancini.

It's funny Rio... I saw that Gilbert O'Sullivan/Burt video, too, and was coming here to post it and saw that you beat me to it. Isn't youtube just the BEST? It brings us stuff like this that we never thought we'd ever see!!
Now here's something I ran across today. It's some guy on youtube playing "A House Is Not A Home" on the piano. I think he's very good and came up with a very nice arrangement. I wish I could play like this guy. Hope you all like it!

...........pretty good rendition !
Post by An Enormous BB Fan » Sat Jul 05, 2008 6:40 pm
The quality of this is very poor, but maybe you'd want to see it anyhow. Johnny Carson and Burt Bacharach pay tribute to Dionne. This is from 1988.
Post by An Enormous BB Fan » Sun Jul 13, 2008 2:09 am
I wonder how many of you know this great (and mostly unknown, I would imagine) Burt and Hal song, so beautifully sung by the inimitable Dionne Warwick? Someone was kind enough to post this on youtube the other day. I haven't heard this wonderful song in years and it's such a delight!
The Last One To Be Loved
Here's another rarity from Burt... The Last One To Be Loved.
Elvis sings "Any Day Now"
Burt wrote "Any Day Now" not with Hal David but with Bob Hilliard. Here Elvis Presley sings his rendition.
Post by blueonblue » Sun Jul 13, 2008 5:22 am
James Ingram co-wrote this song with Burt Bacharach and John Bettis.......which was
produced by the brilliant Thom Bell !!!
Post by blueonblue » Sat Aug 02, 2008 6:08 am
There's a radio show on BBC radio 2 on Monday night at 11:3O pm (British Time)
where the host Susie Quatro will be interviewing the great singer/songwriter
Jackie DeShannon....should be well worth a listen !!!
Brilliant cover-version of one of Jackie's finest.....very Phil Spector !!!
Post by Dennis Webb » Sun Aug 03, 2008 11:02 am
Thanks eversomuch for posting this YouTube link. What a dynamite arrangement, similar to Jackie DeShannon's but even better by virtue of all the additional instruments. As you say, Phil Specter-like, but it has more clarity than his productions could get, as they've got a bigger studio and better engineering to pick up all those horns and strings. I wish there was more music like this being recorded today.

“If today was the day you were finally going to win, did you show up?”
- Daniel Waldschmidt
The above quote was randomly selected on my email provider. It is an interesting mutation of a statement attributed to the comedian/actor/director Woody Allen in 1977 by his partner Susan Braudy, “80 per cent of life is turning up”. In 1989 Allen discussed this attribution, correcting to be something more specific:
"My observation was that once a person actually completed a play or a novel, he was well on his way to getting it produced or published, as opposed to a vast majority of people who tell me their ambition is to write, but who strike out on the very first level and indeed never write the play or book. In the midst of the conversation, as I’m now trying to recall, I did say that 80 percent of success is showing up."
When it comes to writing, I can completely agree with Allen. I have received emails and been a part of many conversations with prospective writers. Sadly the vast majority will never get their work published in any format. Despite this being the case, I encourage everyone to write. Writing has been my favoured medium for as long as I could string letters together. I love reading stories and have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Unfortunately for me, not everyone is so enthusiastic about this medium. Some people have little pleasure in reading, let alone writing. However, of those who do have enthusiasm to write their book or to have an idea very few of them will actually do anything about it. I can relate to them. I have been there and I often find myself there. In truth, so do most writers and creators. Like the elite fighter who carries the same fears as the rest of us regarding his match, the creator is constantly tempted by distractions. In fact, I would argue it is in a creative person’s make-up and therein lays the cruel paradox.
The effort required to act is considerable. It is what allows so many truly awful works of art, literature, music and entertainment go onto become mainstream successes whilst the world loses some remarkable works to the graves of those who could not act upon their talent and ambition.
History is full of examples of people who struck lucky simply because they made the decision to turn up for an event. Actors, such as Ray Winstone, auditioned virtually on a dare. Having worked in most areas of showbusiness, I have often seen how much timing has to play regarding an individual’s success. It is easy to see it all as something of a tournament with luck playing a big part of the entire process. There are several factors that will give you certain advantages, including education, but none of it is relevant to a non-attendee. There is a type of equality for guaranteeing you will not achieve what you want there and it was aptly described by a villain in the boxing movie, "Gladiator", "Everyone is a no show until they show".
The Waldschmidt quote is something of a sequel to Allen’s well-known saying. Waldschmidt not only explains the importance of showing up, but its continued importance. Mileage needs to be put in to make progress. Obviously being objective-driven and mindful of what you are turning up to do is far more productive than just turning up in hope of being successful, but nevertheless it is still a question of being there even when you feel certain you are going to fail. Experience of failure is not something we should shy away from if we see some value in whatever it is we are trying to achieve. Some of my best life lessons have come from complete failure and have gone influence things I have succeeded in doing. At other times having no expectations has lowered my stress levels and allowed me to perform better in some area. However, when I look back, it is probably all those badly remembered non-event events that I attended to put the hours in that are responsible for allowing me to achieve the larger goals in my life.

Christopher High Shearer (American 1846 - 1926)
Gallery of Christopher High Shearer Paintings:
Born at family farm at Shearertown (Tuckerton), near Reading, Pennsylvania, Shearer spent youthful hours in the studios of noted Reading artists, F. D. Devlan and John Heyl Raser. Watching the artists paint, he believed that he would like to be become an artist and at 18 took instruction from both men. His father, a successful building contractor who supported his son’s career path, built Shearer his first studio at the family farm. Three years later, circa 1867, Shearer opened his own studio in Reading, becoming a well-known and successful artist. He later left for Europe where he pursued art study the academies at Dusseldorf and Munich, Germany. A second four-year long trip to Germany and France in 1878 resulted in the almost total loss of his eyesight, prompting in his return to Reading—a promising career in ruins. Blindness was not to be his fate, however--his eyesight gradually improved and he resumed painting. Shearer lived in a home along the Schuylkill River, off Stoudt’s Ferry Bridge Road (close to Shearertown) where he also had a studio and taught plein air painting. Shearer’s protégé was Mary B. Leisz, who had become his student circa 1891 when she was 15. She would go on to teach art classes with him at his studio. He was a strong advocate of the arts and as a friend of Dr. Levi Mengel, the founder of the Reading Public Museum and Art Gallery and, in 1913, convinced him to include an art gallery within the museum. Shearer served as the chief art curator from 1913 to his death in 1926. Shearer was also a naturalist—he collected butterflies, moths and other insects in all stages of development, which he illustrated. He spent time painting at the Pinnacle in the Blue Mountains where he made the first detailed studies of the Blue Mountain cave rat in 1916. Interestingly, the Assistant Director of the Museum, artist Earle Poole, discovered in 1931 that the eerie night sounds heard on the Pinnacle were made by the Blue Mountain cave rat, first documented by Shearer years before. Shearer was a member of the Brooklyn Art association, where exhibited. He also exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1876-1895) and The Dusseldorf Art Academy (gold medal, 1878).

Slovenia borders the Adriatic Sea, but it has only a very short coastline, not more than 47km. So you could imagine that if all Slovenians ànd all sun-sea-beach-loving tourists are planning a day at the coast on the same time, the beaches would be packed with sunbathers, badminton players, and sandcastles. Not really our thing. Don’t get me wrong here: we do like the beach, Febe loves to play in the sand and we definitely are snorkeling enthousiasts. We just don’t like crowds.
That day during our holiday in Slovenia in August of 2015, we had planned to go to the coast. It would become a very hot day (36°, real feel 40° our thermometer informed us), and the beaches of Slovenia were, simply, full. Fortunately, we had started that day with a highly recommendable visit to the marvelous Romanesque Church of the Holy Trinity in Hrastovlje, with its jaw-dropping interior, completely covered in 15th-century frescoes.
The Church of The Holy Trinity in Hrastovlje.
In order to reach the church you have to follow a winding road uphill. The location of the church is well-indicated along the road. There’s a small parking lot close to te church. The first thing we noticed when approaching the church was that it is surrounded by fortified walls, which is rather strange for a church. In fact, these walls were used to protect the chuch against the Ottomans, who invaded this territory in the the 16th century.

The church, inside the walls.
The interior of this church is breathtaking. All walls and ceilings are decorated with narrative frescoes, painted by Johannes de Castuo at the end of the 15th century. These paintings were used as a bible for the illiterate parishioners.

Genesis: God creates the sun and the moon.
Saint with birds.
Even the pillars are decorated with frescoes.
This concept of a wall-filling comic avant-la-lettre, telling biblical stories to the common people, was a popular one in those days. We saw other examples elsewhere, e.g. in the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris and in a couple of churches on the Danish island of Møn.
Frescoes in Fanefjord church on Møn (Denmark).
The most famous of these frescoes is the so-called Dance of Death. It depicts a long line of people from different professions and diverse social classes, accompanied to their grave by an elated group of grinning skeletons. The message here is as obvious as it is sobering: everyone is equal in the eyes of God, regardless of your wealth or importance in life.
The Dance of Death.
The Dance of Death reminded me of a fresco we once saw in the Etruscan necropole of Tarquinia (Italy). It shows a small child and an Etruscan demon of death leading the deceased towards the gate of Hades, God of the Underworld.
Death scene, Tomba 5636, Tarquinia.
In the afternoon, the search for a suitable spot on the beach started. It wasn’t really succesful, as it was very crowded all over the coast. We ended up on a shaded lawn in the city of Portorož. It was close to the water, but there was no beach.

Eventually, we tried to go to Piran, but at a certain point the road towards the town was blocked. A sign indicated that the city was “full”, which meant that there was no parking space left there. There were shuttle buses though, but the parkings for those buses were full as well. So we drove on.
Beautiful Piran.
Later that day we ended up in the nearby town of Izola, where we enjoyed some refreshments and finally found a beach, which was completely packed with sunbathers, though. Nevertheless, it seemed a nice little town, typical for the Slovenian and Istrian coast.

Movie: Gangster Story (1959)
Most people justifiably think of Walter Matthau as a comedic performer. I always associate him with the trio of tough crime dramas he made in 1973 and ’74: CHARLEY VARRICK, THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN, and THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE, which I really need to stop talking about.
He stayed in the genre for his only directing gig. The resulting movie is terrible. GANGSTER STORY has that wall-eyed look you only see in MST3K films. Every line of dialogue was looped. The interiors were shot at crew members’ houses in Anaheim.
Still, Matthau’s character Jack Martin pulls off a brilliant bank robbery at the beginning of the film, one that involves inviting the police in advance. It’s like something Donald E. Westlake would dream up.
As a director, Matthau made one key mistake. He hired himself. He’s so much better than the rest of the cast that he throws the movie out of whack. It’s a clear violation of the Joe Queenan Guitar Rule.
In THE UNKINDEST CUT, his book about independent filmmaking, Queenan compares hiring an actor who outshines the others to leaving a guitar out at a party. Many guests will pick it up and noodle around with it, strumming a few chords. Then one guy, who used to be in a band, will play an entire song and make everyone else feel inadequate. The party’s mood will shift. Guests will make excuses and leave. The next thing you know, they’re all gone by 9:30 and you’re tossing out perfectly good shrimp. I told you we didn’t need to buy the big platter. Whenever we throw a party you never listen to me. If we’d put on that jazz CD like I suggested, we wouldn’t be in this mess. And why do we keep inviting your friend Carol? I can tell she has it in for me. And she zeroes in on the good gin like a guided missile.
OK, that one got away from me.
Movie: Batman Begins (2005)
I’ll be honest. I had reservations going into this one. I’m not even sure if I saw the last BATMAN movie. Who were the villains again? Tim Robbins as Egghead and Kevin Costner as Shame, right? With a cameo by Alan King as Louie the Lilac? Or was that a dream I had?
Plus I was feeling burned out on costumed avenger movies. How could you improve on the dizzy operatic heights of SPIDER-MAN 2?
But Spidey is a hero who rules the day. We need one who haunts the night. And Christopher Nolan is the man to give him life.
There’s too much mystical hooey at the beginning and too much everything at the end, but overall this is smart filmmaking with a flair for pop psychology and Gothic imagery. Nolan and co-writer David Goyer wisely put the focus on Bruce Wayne. It’s an opportunity Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney – hell, Adam West – never had. And Christian Bale is more than up to the challenge.
Cillian Murphy and his scarily low-tech Scarecrow mask get the job done in the villainy department. Some critics have taken Gary Oldman to task for his strenuous regular guy performance as Detective Gordon, but I’m enough of an Oldman fan to think that the effort is intentional. His work here called to mind the May Sarton line that opens John le Carré’s THE RUSSIA HOUSE: One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being.
My favorite performance in the movie, though, is from Tom Wilkinson as Gotham’s crime boss. Instead of doing another variation on the GOODFELLAS idea of a gangster, Wilkinson harks back to older examples out of the Warner Brothers library. And it works beautifully. It’s a treat to watch him channeling Edward G. Robinson, a dandy intoxicated by his own power, chewing his dialogue like breadsticks. His scene with Bruce Wayne is the strongest in the movie. I was sorry to see him go.
Overlawyered can tell you how much this movie would cost Bruce Wayne. Luckily, he can afford it. Thanks to Bill Crider for the first link.
Operation Travolta: Peter Weller
Last week’s film meme asked which movie character I’d like to be. My back-up reply: Buckaroo Banzai. Surgeon. Rock star. Adventurer. Lover of two incarnations of Ellen Barkin.
Wait. Can I change my answer?
Anyone who can carry off such a role with the casual aplomb Peter Weller brought to it should be besieged by work. But as I have done before, I’m challenging the filmmaking community to give this man a part worthy of his talents.
I first saw Weller in 1983’s OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN, in which he plays a New York yuppie waging war on the rat sharing his swank new digs. Weller’s performance elevates the movie to the level of allegory, and established his prowess at playing superficially successful men beset by neuroses.
THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE EIGHTH DIMENSION followed a year later. 1987’s ROBOCOP introduced the character for which the actor is best known; Paul Verhoeven’s film remains a scabrously funny comic book satire. I even like the 1990 sequel, which some critics found too dark. Weller was smartly paired with the hangdog Sam Elliott in 1988’s SHAKEDOWN, an appealingly low-brow actioner from B-movie maestro James Glickenhaus.
The early ‘90s brought Weller’s best work. In David Cronenberg’s NAKED LUNCH, he embodies both the writer William Burroughs and the narrator of Burroughs’ seminal novel. Personally, I prefer his other collaboration with actress Judy Davis, who referred to herself and Weller as “the Astaire and Rogers of dysfunction.” 1994’s THE NEW AGE is one of the decade’s great films, an unsparing portrait of a privileged Los Angeles couple as their marriage buckles under financial and spiritual woes. Weller has never been better, and he’s perfectly matched by Davis. The film also features a scorching cameo by Samuel L. Jackson before he became “Samuel L. Jackson.” It’s a crime that Michael Tolkin’s film remains unavailable on DVD.
The latter half of the decade wasn’t as kind. Weller turns up briefly in Woody Allen’s MIGHTY APHRODITE, but what should be a surefire collaboration goes nowhere. In the low-budget Philip K. Dick adaptation SCREAMERS, he issues my favorite order by a military officer: “Relent!”
Weller plumbed the moneyed depths of Southern California again in Bernard Rose’s IVANSXTC, which combines Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” with the tragic story of Hollywood agent Jay Moloney. Weller received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his performance, but sadly, I haven’t seen it. The film, which may have cut too deep for many in the business, did not get theatrical distribution and has never been released on video in the United States.
Behind the camera is where the actor has flourished of late. In 1993, his short film “Partners” was nominated for an Academy Award, and he directed a sharp adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel GOLD COAST for Showtime.
I look at the career that Christopher Walken has had and wonder why Weller hasn’t gotten similar opportunities. They share many qualities: a flair for the theatrical, flawless timing, a great sense of personal style. Some enterprising filmmaker should think of Weller’s name the next time Walken is too busy to take on a juicy supporting role.
And I, for one, haven’t given up hope of seeing Buckaroo take on the World Crime League.
Music: Paul Anka, Rock Swings (2005)
When I heard about this album – Paul Anka doing big band covers of rock songs – I thought it was a joke. Kind of like the medley Joe Piscopo did as Frank Sinatra, moving from “Born To Run” into “Smoke on the Water.”
Then Rosemarie sampled the record online and said, “I think we need to buy this.” Now I can’t stop playing the damn thing.
Some of the songs have a lipstick-on-a-pig quality. No amount of showbiz pizzazz is going to make Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life” sound better or R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” less obvious. At other times, Anka’s old school approach – adding a Count Basie call-and-response to Van Halen’s “Jump,” performing the Pet Shop Boys’ “It’s A Sin” as a bossa nova number – livens up unlikely material. He even brings some Threepenny Opera swagger to Survivor’s “Eye Of The Tiger.”
It’s no accident that the best covers are of songs that were strong to begin with, like Spandau Ballet’s “True” and especially “Wonderwall” by Oasis. And Anka’s take on Soundgarden’s “Blackhole Sun” is surprisingly potent. I was disappointed that he skipped the spoken word part of Billy Idol’s “Eyes Without A Face.” I wanted to hear him say:
I’m on a bus, on a psychedelic trip,
Reading murder books and trying to stay hip.
And then we come to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The selection that has come in for the most scorn.
At times, Anka’s approach to the song imparts a Joel-Grey-in-CABARET vibe that’s wholly appropriate (“Hello, hello, hello, how low”). Seconds later, it seems an affront to the laws of God and man. But any recording that provokes such an intense response is worth listening to.
The lush arrangements unfortunately underscore how little depth most of these songs have. Conventional wisdom holds that popular music suffered with the advent of the singer-songwriter and the decline of the interpretive artist. Rock Swings bears that theory out.
Anka and Kurt Cobain make an odd pairing: the consummate pro and the tortured poet. Filmmaker Mike Figgis once said, “My heroes all seem to have been junkies ... they’re often very brave people who burned fast – because accelerated creativity yields a higher gain.” I’ve always found that argument absurd, so much so that I seem to have gone out of my way to avoid “junkie literature.” Many of the artists I admire are prolific, professional, and dismissed by critics as “slick.” As if productivity and devotion to craft couldn’t yield rewards of their own.
I suppose what I’m saying is that, on the Anka/Cobain spectrum, I tend toward the Paul Anka side. Just so you know.
Miscellaneous: Meme’s The Same
I usually don’t go in for this kind of thing. I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel. But it’s all the rage among the GreenCine regulars, so I want to play, too.
1. Total number of films I own on DVD and video
112. Wow. I didn’t think it was that many.
2. The last film I bought
A “Classic Monster Movies” collection featuring DOCTOR BLOOD’S COFFIN, FURY OF THE WOLFMAN, and THE BRAINIAC on one disc.
Look, it was only five bucks. What do you want from me?
3. The last film I watched
THE HARDER THEY FALL (1956). A tough, pulpy boxing drama from a novel by Budd Schulberg. Bogart’s last film. I watched it because Max Baer, the villain of CINDERELLA MAN, appears in it as an exaggerated version of himself.
4. Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me, in no particular order
Here I’m going to cheat and give each selection a similarly-themed alternate. It’s a meme, people. I can do what I like.
ALIEN (1979) – In a lapse of judgment she has come to regret, my mother took me to see this when I was a kid. I had never realized you could frighten adults before. That revelation made me want to make movies. Alternate: BRAZIL (1985)
THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE (1974) – Pound for pound, the most entertaining movie ever made. Alternate: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981)
BLOWUP (1966) – For peerless writing. It tells its story in purely visual terms. Alternate: CHINATOWN (1974)
NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959) – The complete movie package, and the level of artistry to which I aspire. Alternate: L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997)
THE THIRD MAN (1949) – As good as it gets. Alternate: DR. STRANGELOVE (1964)
Bonus Entry: OUT OF THE PAST (1947). Just because.
5. If you could be any character portrayed in a movie, who would it be?
Gene Hackman in THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE. Because he goes out cursing God and saving Pamela Sue Martin. And because I’ve never looked good in a turtleneck.
Who’s next?
TV: Celebrity Charades
All my life I have waited for a worthy successor to THE BATTLE OF THE NETWORK STARS. This limited-run AMC series created by Bob Balaban, Chad Lowe and Hilary Swank isn’t it – for one thing, there’s no dunk tank – but it’s close.
TV: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
In the end, the envelopes got to me.
Online DVD rental outfits like Netflix and GreenCine want you to hang on to movies for weeks at a time; it improves their numbers. But I’d see those envelopes stacked up next to the TV and feel guilty. I really ought to turn those around, I’d think.
The trick is to rent discs that take days to get through. Titles like Kino Video’s silent film compilations, for instance.
The ideal solution would be to rent TV shows. I don’t watch much TV, so I’d have plenty to choose from. I could catch up on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT or dig into FX’s highly lauded lineup (THE SHIELD, NIP/TUCK, RESCUE ME). As for older series, I wouldn’t know where to begin. Here I shamefacedly admit that I haven’t seen a minute of classics like, picking two at random, THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW and GREEN ACRES.
But I can’t do it. If I can get by without watching TV shows at their appointed airtimes, why should I binge on them once they reach DVD?
So I struck a compromise. I’d rent long-form programs, what ABC used to call “Novels For Television.” All the comfort of a series, with the satisfaction of an actual ending. I began with this 1979 adaptation of John le Carré’s book, often hailed as one of television’s finest productions.
Alec Guinness stars as George Smiley, a cashiered intelligence officer brought back into the fold to determine which of four key players in the service is a Soviet mole.
In many respects, TINKER, TAILOR hasn’t aged well. It takes its time; one scene consists entirely of a shot of Guinness in a ratty cardigan reading a file, and like every shot in the series, it’s held several beats too long. Only one of the four suspects is developed in any way, so it’s no surprise when he’s revealed to be the traitor.
But the series exerts a powerful hold, and does an extraordinary job of depicting how isolating intelligence work can be. As for Guinness’ performance, no other actor could make reading a file while wearing a ratty cardigan so compelling.
The sole extra is a 2002 interview with le Carré, in which he speaks in dense, perfectly formed paragraphs for thirty minutes.
Miscellaneous: Take Me Out To The Ball Game
Webster’s Dictionary defines popular culture as ... hang on, the phrase isn’t in here. And this isn’t a Webster’s Dictionary.
Baseball counts as popular culture, right? Too bad if it doesn’t, because baseball was the only thing on my mind the last few days.
I’d been waiting for this weekend for ages. The Seattle Mariners were finally hosting the New York Mets. My New York Mets. And I had tickets for the first of their three games.
Growing up in Queens, you had to be a Mets fan. On summer evenings, every radio in the neighborhood would be tuned to the game; you could run down the alleys for blocks and never miss a pitch. We didn’t live too far from Shea Stadium, and my father would take me to the ballpark at least once a season.
New York has few hard and fast rules. One of them is: if you like the Mets, you hate the Yankees. But I still went to see the Bronx Bombers play when I won tickets in my school’s Sports Night raffle. Another of New York’s hard and fast rules is never pass up anything free.
Whenever I moved, I kept the habit of living close to stadiums. There was no professional baseball team at the time I lived in the Tampa Bay area – you could make the case that there’s still not – but the Toronto Blue Jays’ spring training facility was blocks from my house. One morning on my way to school a foul ball landed at my feet, and a Jays’ outfielder asked me to throw it back. When my best pitch thumped the roof of a CBC van, he laughed and said, “Kid, you suck!” Not exactly a Mean Joe Greene moment. My apartment in Boston was directly under the Citgo sign you can see whenever anyone hits a shot over the Green Monster at Fenway Park. It was easy for me to pull for both teams, because they were rivals of the Yankees.
I’ve always wished the Mariners well, but I can’t call myself a fan. Setting the modern-day record with 116 wins in a season but failing to make the World Series indicates certain fundamental flaws in the organization. Safeco Field is a beautiful stadium, though, and I was eager to see the Mets play there. So was Rosemarie, the original flashy girl from Flushing, who can’t sing ‘Meet the Mets’ without tearing up. Here we are.
The game moves faster when you’re there in person. Maybe it’s not having to sit through all the ads for local car dealerships. And between innings there’s always some kind of activity going on, although nothing as elaborate as Milwaukee’s Weiner Races. I enjoyed a beer in the stands for the first time. I don’t think there’s a better way of passing a summer evening, and I hope to go back before this season is over.
As for the game, the Mets lost 5-zip. In fact, the Mariners swept the series. I don’t want to talk about it.
DVD: Hitch (2005)
When this movie opened, some friends emailed me with a startling observation. They were convinced that character actor Adam Arkin, appearing as a New York newspaper editor, was, in fact, playing me.
“It was like he was channeling you,” they said, finding it so eerie that they had to comment on it during the movie.
I saw Arkin in person once, over 10 years ago. At the time he had a recurring role on NORTHERN EXPOSURE, which filmed outside Seattle, and seeing cast members on the streets of the city was a common occurrence.
I was leaving a coffee shop when I saw him. I did my patented I-know-who-you-are-but-I’m-not-making-a-big-thing-out-of-it half-smile, a deft social gesture that has won the hearts of the great and the near-great. Arkin nodded amiably at me in return.
Having seen the movie, I can now only assume that somewhere in that transaction, the actor was able to capture my essence. To download my soul, as it were.
Part of it is that we have the same haircut. Close-cropped but stylish, projecting an unforced masculinity. Or so my barber tells me. But the man has the rest of me down pat: facial expressions, head movements, rhythm of speech, general attitude. And above all, the innate decency.
Of course, I’m not the best judge. I don’t watch myself all day. Mainly because I haven’t figured out how to get paid for it. So I was relying on Rosemarie’s opinion.
She cackled every time my doppelganger appeared. Her final verdict: “I can see it. I can definitely see it.”
Arkin doesn’t get much screen time, but I’m more of a second banana anyway. Always leave ‘em wanting more, that’s my motto.
Movie: Fourteen Hours (1951)
Noir expert Eddie Muller writes about this movie in the introduction to his book DARK CITY. But in many respects the film isn’t noir so much as a grim fable of urban life.
It’s based on an actual incident, but similar tales unfold all the time. A young man (Richard Basehart) in deep despair climbs out on the ledge of a building. As he debates whether he’ll take the plunge, New York coalesces around him. Cabbies takes bets on what time he’ll hit the ground. One couple meets, another reconciles. And aging beat cop Paul Douglas becomes the kid’s only lifeline.
Basehart is extraordinary as the city’s oddly polite victim, and Martin Gabel shines as a police psychiatrist. But the movie is truly about Douglas’ character, a working-class flatfoot all too familiar with disappointment who’s suddenly asked to explain why life is worth living. The reasons he gives are good ones: the first sip of beer on a hot day, an afternoon out fishing, cracking a tired old joke so you can see your wife smile.
The film originally had a much darker ending that was altered when the daughter of Fox exec Spyros Skouras committed suicide by leaping off Bellevue Hospital on the day of the film’s premiere. The edited version still packs a wallop.
Watching the movie, I thought of a phrase that seemed the exclusive property of sportswriters until I heard it in conversation recently. A man I was talking to in a bar in Los Angeles was telling me about a documentary he’d just seen about seminal punk band The New York Dolls – and specifically about Arthur ‘Killer’ Kane, who overcame tremendous odds to join the Dolls for a reunion concert. “You really should see it,” my newfound friend told me. “It’s full of wonderful music and great human drama.”
Human drama. No ticking clocks, no cartoon villains. Just the drama of being human. That’s what FOURTEEN HOURS has in spades.
Book: Watch Your Back!, by Donald E. Westlake (2005)
Today’s comedy lesson: Verbs can be funny! Example:
“Holy shit!,” Stan realized.
Movie: The Driver (1978)
Terrill Lankford – read his novel EARTHQUAKE WEATHER, you’ll thank me later – wrote about this stripped-down noir on Ed Gorman & Friends a while back. His review prompted me to catch up with it, one of the few films by Walter Hill that I hadn’t seen.
My film school professor summed up why I’m a Hill fan when he said that, alone among contemporary action filmmakers, Hill is able to get a genuine sense of danger into his movies. Just look at his best-known films. THE WARRIORS uncannily captures that feeling of dread that erupts an instant before violence does. 48HRS. may be famous for launching Eddie Murphy’s big screen career, but there’s real menace lurking in the corners of the frame – and in Nick Nolte’s performance.
Hill’s flair for depicting the low life remains evident in his later films, like the underrated JOHNNY HANDSOME. And he’s still riding tall in the saddle, winning an Emmy last year for directing the premiere episode of HBO’s DEADWOOD.
So why had I blown off THE DRIVER? Two words: Ryan O’Neal. I couldn’t see him as a tough, monosyllabic wheelman targeted for a personal vendetta by obsessed cop Bruce Dern. It was the tough part that bothered me; I figured the monosyllabic thing was doing O’Neal a favor.
The movie, made in Hill’s customary lean style, is an example of pure action cinema. There’s only the bare bones of a plot, which makes just enough sense to hang together. What it does have is stupendous vehicle work, great use of downtown Los Angeles locations, and a rough American approximation of the self-conscious cool of Jean-Pierre Melville films.
If THE DRIVER had been made in France, it would be hailed as a minor classic. If it starred anyone other than O’Neal, who’s too light a presence to register in this role, it would be a tough-guy staple. As it is, I’ll go along with TL on this one: it’s an interesting failure that’s definitely worth watching more than once.
And now you’ll get your chance. The movie debuted on DVD last week, and you can pick it up for as little as seven bucks.
Speaking of pure action cinema, one of the best film stories of recent months was Michael Davis. After decades of working in Hollywood, he hit the big time with his original screenplay SHOOT-‘EM-UP. I had the chance to read it and thought it was a blast, a wild, kinetic ride that used Hill’s spare writing style to describe over-the-top mayhem.
And now that Clive Owen has been signed to play the lead, I’m ready to camp out in front of Mann’s Chinese Theater for tickets. Even if the movie doesn’t play there.
Book: Citizen Vince, by Jess Walter (2005)
Great. Now I’ve got to come up with something else to call my memoirs.
It wasn’t the title that got me to read this book, although to be honest it helped. It was the name Jess Walter on the cover. With his third novel, Walter vaults to the top of the short list of authors whose work I won’t miss.
His previous effort, LAND OF THE BLIND, perhaps shouldn’t have been marketed as a mystery novel; no real crime is committed, and yet everyone is somehow guilty. It was one of my favorite books of 2003.
The genre is thick with writers who claim to be regionalists, but Walter is the genuine article. All of his books feature loving depictions of Spokane, Washington, where Walter works as a newspaper reporter. His portrait of this overlooked, hardscrabble corner of America is one of his strengths.
The Vince of the title looks at the city with fresh eyes. He’s a low-level New York hood dropped into the Pacific Northwest courtesy of the witness protection program in 1980. Armed with one legitimate skill – making donuts – he tries to start his new life. Which includes, for the first time, voting. There’s a presidential election coming up, and Vince is determined to make the right choice: Carter or Reagan? Even the appearance of another East Coast thug isn’t about to deter Vince from fulfilling his obligations as a citizen.
It’s a terrific book – funny, packed with surprise cameos, and ultimately moving. Walter’s three-for-three now, and I can’t wait for the next one.
Movie: Wild, Wild Planet (1965)
TCM slipped this swinging ‘60s Italian SF epic on in the wee hours of the morning. That’s the ideal time to watch it, when you’re not sure if you’re dreaming the whole thing.
It’s set in a future when residents of Earth live in scale models of cities and travel in Matchbox cars. The planet is invaded by an army of inflatable women accompanied by four-armed clones of actor Michael Berryman, also inflatable. (The clones, not Michael Berryman. Well, maybe he is. I’ve never met him.) The invaders set about miniaturizing the world’s great thinkers. When one of the attacks is interrupted, a dwarf is brought in to take over the role of the victim.
Around this time, I began questioning whether I was truly awake.
It’s all part of a mad scientist’s plan to create a master race. Which also has something to do with melding two personalities into one body. I never figured out how the shrinking business fit in. Frankly, I don’t see how the scientist got grant money for any of it. The action ends with a tidal wave of cranberry juice and a credit for "wigs and hair-do."
With all the hours to be filled, you’d think more movies like this would turn up on cable. God knows they’re out there. And Antonio Margheriti, aka Anthony Dawson, is responsible for plenty of them. His son Edoardo set up a website in his honor that includes more information on this film.
Book: Everything Bad Is Good For You, by Steven Johnson (2005)
I haven’t read this book, but thanks to a mountain of publicity I got the gist of it. Johnson argues that popular culture, specifically television, is making us smarter in part because of the complexity of the storytelling.
I had written his argument off as a crock. Then I tried to watch an episode of STARSKY & HUTCH that I had fond memories of. After twenty minutes of tedium, I thought: maybe the man’s got a point.
R.I.P. Anne Bancroft
Her career speaks for itself. And don’t overlook her many stage credits.
I would not be the first to point out that her legendary role as Mrs. Robinson in THE GRADUATE typed her as “the older woman” far too early. As a result, much of her best work surfaces in unexpected places. Her single scene as an alcoholic selling out her daughter for a bottle in MALICE is like a mini-tribute to Thelma Ritter. In an appearance as Marge’s psychiatrist on THE SIMPSONS, her delivery permanently enshrined one line – “Let’s not go nuts” – in the Keenan family pantheon.
Most of all, I admired Anne Bancroft for her marriage to Mel Brooks. Largely because it seemed so improbable: elegance and boisterousness, joined for four decades. Brooks stood in such awe of his wife that he referred to her by both names. Bancroft once said of her husband, “I get excited when I hear his key in the door. It’s like, ‘Ooh! The party’s going to start!”
If there’s a better model in this life, I can’t think of one.
TV: Jeopardy!
Rosemarie here. Vince asked me to contribute a few words about my JEOPARDY! experience. You could call it a companion piece to his write-up of what it was like to be on ULTIMATE FILM FANATIC.
First, the try-out in Seattle. A 50 question timed test. A screen in front of the hotel ballroom flashing the questions while I and 99 other people who think we're pretty smart scrawl down our answers. I wasn't sure if I was doing well until I saw that the guy next to me had answered only half the questions. Eight of us made the cut - no word on what a passing grade was.
The contestant coordinators said they would call us for the show, if they did, within 14 months. I was summoned two weeks later. Too bad. I had planned to use those 14 months studying geography, the periodic table and words ending in "ola."
Taping day was fun, with a professional make-up artist on hand to glam us up a bit. During every commercial break she ran up and applied another layer. By the end of the show I looked like Glenda Jackson in ELIZABETH R.
In sum, while my buzzer technique was nonexistent and I have proven for all posterity that I am ignorant of fly fishing, I had a blast.
Plus all the folks at work said I looked great. So when do I get my sitcom pilot?
Movie: Cinderella Man (2005)
Playing boxer James J. Braddock, Russell Crowe somehow rearranges his features so that he looks vaguely like John Garfield. I don’t know how he did it. For that matter, I don’t know he managed to deliver another terrific performance, one that manages to be relentlessly physical even when he’s sitting still.
And he’s more than matched by Paul Giamatti. After AMERICAN SPLENDOR and SIDEWAYS, you have to ask: is there a better actor in American movies right now? I came across SPLENDOR on cable again last night, and it’s become one of those films that I can never turn off. It’s got so much to say about life, work, and art, and those rare instances when all three can be the same thing. Above all it’s got Giamatti, offering so many grace notes that every viewing yields a new delight.
Watching these two heavyweight actors spar is a treat. And Ron Howard shoots the hell out of the fight sequences, especially the climactic bout between Braddock and Max Baer (Craig Bierko).
But personally, I’d rather see a movie about the other guy.
Another reminder to tune in and see my lovely wife Rosemarie on the show tonight. Or go to the JEOPARDY! website and watch her Hometown Howdy. Honest, that’s what they’re called.
“Who else is still around who can say he wrote a screenplay with F. Scott Fitzgerald, yakked about movies with Sergei Eisenstein and is still owed $100 by Harry Cohn?” Budd Schulberg, that’s who.
Movie: Layer Cake (2004, U.S. 2005)
It’s a familiar story. A criminal (in this case a mid-level drug dealer) who fancies himself above the game makes plans to get out. It’s the skilled assurance of the telling that makes it special.
Producer Matthew Vaughn, making his debut behind the camera, puts the flashy tricks he learned from Guy Ritchie in service of the story. Their earlier collaborations could be fun, but there’s real psychological heft here.
Which receives its sharpest expression through the acting. Daniel Craig, The Man Who Might Be Bond, owns the screen from the first frame. Something tells me that whatever I’m supposed to feel when I watch Steve McQueen is what I’m feeling here. Colm Meaney again proves himself to be one of the most reliable actors in film. And the great Michael Gambon walks off with the movie as a Mephistophelean crime lord.
They’re all aided by the movie’s design. Smart threads, flash cars, guy’s guy furniture. Never underestimate the power of possessions to put a movie across.
But it’s J. J. Connolly’s script, based on his book, that really pops. It has an almost novelistic texture, weaving the story of gunman Crazy Larry into the background, making room for a jaunt into African politics that’s like something out of Ross Thomas.
Please note that I could have said “This CAKE has the right ingredients,” but I didn’t. No need to thank me.

Just an early reminder that Rosemarie, designer of and frequent contributor to this website, will be appearing as a contestant on Monday night’s show. Check your local listings.
TV: Steve McQueen: The Essence of Cool
This may cost me some street cred (like I have any), but here goes: I’ve never gotten Steve McQueen. Director Lawrence Kasdan, a fan who appears in this TCM documentary, describes watching him in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN as a boy, and his comments hit on my problem with the actor: McQueen always seemed to be playing a child’s version of a man.
Using the doc’s title to put it another way, there’s the kind of cool that comes from genuinely not caring what anybody else thinks (see Marvin, Lee and Mitchum, Robert). And then there’s the McQueen variety, which always involves a look in the mirror of other people’s eyes. Granted, his style of acting can be enormously effective. But I can’t say I’ve ever watched a film because McQueen was in it.
This documentary doesn’t shy away from the actor’s dark side, and as a result delivers a well-rounded picture of him. It made me want to check out a few more of his films. And I’ll say this for him: he was one hell of a driver.
TV: Dancing With The Stars
LOST? Haven’t seen it. DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES? Nope. But put on a celebrity ballroom dancing competition in which the most famous participant is the guy who played J. Peterman on SEINFELD and I’ll watch it. Or at least record it and speed through it later on.
God, I love summer television.
DVD: Iceman (1984)
If I could put a word in Roger Ebert’s ear, I’d advise him to book this movie in his Overlooked Film Festival. I’d schedule it elsewhere if I could. A ‘Great Films of the 1980s’ series, say, or a retrospective of the best science-fiction movies ever made. It features two of my all-time favorite scenes, and what is easily one of the finest performances in cinema history.
And yet nobody’s heard of the damn thing.
For years I was a one-man cult following for this movie, watching it a dozen times in 1985 alone. The premise – a Neanderthal man is brought back to life – was played for laughs eight years later in the Brendan Fraser comedy ENCINO MAN. Here it’s served up straight, with bracing intelligence and a unique respect for both science and spirituality. Yes, it gets a tad earnest at times. But that’s part of its charm.
John Lone stars as the title character, in a performance that is simply unparalleled. He’s asked to portray a man 40,000 years out of time, and does so without resorting to tricks. Which is probably why his work was ignored when 1984’s awards were handed out. Lone may be better known for THE LAST EMPEROR and his stylish Chinese-American gangster in YEAR OF THE DRAGON (he’s the best thing about that movie, coming to DVD this month). But he was at his peak here, in one of the greatest displays of acting that I have ever seen.
Two scenes have always haunted me: Lone and anthropologist Timothy Hutton singing together, and the ending, which consistently reduces me to rubble. I watched the film for the first time in 15 years the other day. Both moments hold up.
The only drawback to revisiting ICEMAN was the DVD, which sets a new definition for the term ‘bare bones.’ There’s not even a menu. But I suppose a special edition is out of the question.
Screenwriter Charles ‘Chip’ Proser also wrote 1987’s SF romp INNERSPACE. He’s a fellow Boston University alumnus. Posters for his movies adorned the halls of the film school while I was there. Several of his screenplays are available online, including INTERFACE, which American Film named one of the ten best unproduced scripts in Hollywood in 1984.
The Los Angeles Times considers the merits of the book tour with mystery novelist Harley Jane Kozak. MTV offers a few tips on making a quality superhero movie. And the San Francisco 49ers’ training film, complete with racist jokes and a lesbian wedding, leaks out. Hard to believe a team this hilarious went 2-14 last season.

Fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh Rages Despite Ceasefires
The ongoing conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh saw a number of dramatic developments over the past couple of weeks. Most notably, Azerbaijani forces proved able to breach through Armenian defenses in the south, resulting in Azerbaijan’s rapid advance into both the Nagorno-Karabakh region and adjacent Armenian-controlled territories in the “buffer zone.” This battlefield transformation will likely affect the balance of power on the ground and influence Baku’s willingness and Yerevan’s capacity to negotiate a peaceful settlement. Recent developments on the frontlines will also affect Russia’s and Turkey’s positions and roles in the conflict and the South Caucasus.
BACKGROUND: After a lightning advance on the northern and particularly southern fronts, the Azerbaijani army has ground to a halt in the Madagiz direction. In the north, where the terrain complicates the offensive into Armenia-controlled territory, Azerbaijani advances appear to be slower. In the south, Azerbaijani forces have taken control over areas along the Araxes river, including the towns of Jabrail and Zangilan. Azerbaijan’s advances on the southern flank are described as promising. Yet having thrust deep into enemy territory, Azerbaijani forces have found themselves in a risky position: they could become cut off from their main support lines unless they seize Hadrut (and prospectively Fuzuli) to the north of Jabrail. This would enable Azerbaijani troops to secure their advances and avoid encirclement.
Accordingly, Azerbaijan’s war plan appears to have changed. Instead of advancing in the north and east of Nagorno-Karabakh, which Baku also envisaged in earlier planning, aiming to launch a war of attrition on as many flanks as possible, Azerbaijani forces are now concentrating on advancements in the Hadrut-Khojavend direction. The landscape enables Azerbaijani forces to thrust deeper into Nagorno-Karabakh’s heartland. Hadrut and Fuzuli are critical to Azerbaijani forces in order to access Nagorno-Karabakh. The importance of Hadrut is not just strategic, but also psychological. It is the first town of Nagorno-Karabakh proper where Azerbaijani forces have managed to gain a foothold. For about a week, bloody fighting has been ongoing in the outskirts of Hadrut and adjacent villages. Participants describe the fighting around Hadrut over the last few days as the most destructive.
Losses are considerable on both sides. According to an Azerbaijani source, hundreds of Azerbaijani soldiers lost their lives on October 13 alone. According to Armenian sources close to the Ministry of Defense, the Armenian side has suffered similar losses – 200-250 men during fighting on October 13 in the south of Nagorno-Karabakh. The Armenian side seems willing to sacrifice even more lives in order to prevent Azerbaijan from gaining control of Hadrut. If the Azerbaijani military succeeds in seizing this town, this is likely to have an immense impact on the continuation of warfare in Nagorno-Karabakh. While Baku maintains its policy of non-disclosure of battlefield fatalities, the Armenian side continues to underreport its losses, as many of its fallen soldiers remain on territory that it no longer controls. Moreover, neither side is willing to admit that battlefield losses are higher than expected.
IMPLICATIONS: A high-level source in Baku admitted that Azerbaijani forces initially failed to advance deep into Armenian-controlled territory, with the specific exception of areas south of Nagorno-Karabakh. Yet he also stressed that the advance plan was not a frontal attack on Stepanakert, but a massive attack along the perimeter of the line of contact aiming to capture some key areas and borderline towns. Taking control of the entire Nagorno-Karabakh region may be a long-term objective of several years, but was never in the cards for this operation.
In fact, Baku appears to have planned to combine military advances with pressure politics to force Yerevan into important concessions. If Baku succeeds in controlling Hadrut and some adjacent areas as well as substantial territory along the line of contact, it could reject the already-discussed plans of granting Nagorno-Karabakh de facto independence in exchange for Armenia’s return of the seven occupied provinces to Baku. Azerbaijan would then likely lay claim to all occupied territories, with the best-case scenario involving a gradual “de-occupation” of Nagorno-Karabakh. This, according to our Azerbaijani interlocutors, would from President Ilham Aliyev’s perspective accomplish three important objectives. First, it would allow the government to consolidate control over the republic’s political life. Second, it would help avoid the massive loss of life associated with a frontal attack (while some reports of up to 3,000 dead Azerbaijani soldiers may be exaggerated, losses are very significant). Third, it would cement Azerbaijan’s relationship with Turkey, which would come under severe pressure if a frontal attack on Nagorno-Karabakh would incur Russia to either back Yerevan or interfere in order to stop Baku’s advances.
Yet the reality on the ground appears to have exceeded the expectations of the Azerbaijani top brass. Thanks to technological advantages, better equipment, and air superiority, Azerbaijani forces have in the last days alone thrust deep into enemy territory, crushing a poorly planned and executed Armenian counteroffensive to the north of Zangilan, intending to get hold of the Lachin corridor that bridges Armenia with Nagorno-Karabakh. In the meantime, Azerbaijani forces continue to harass the northern perimeter of the Karabakh-Azerbaijani frontline, preparing a parallel offensive in the Hadrut-Khojavend direction. The attrition implied by waging a defensive war in three directions appears to be unaffordable for the Armenian forces. If the Azerbaijani army succeeds in acquiring control over the Lachin-Kelbajar area, with simultaneous offensives underway from the south and south-east, the war might be over within several weeks or months as Armenian supplies would be critically weakened.
Moscow has so far appeared willing to accept Azerbaijan’s advances. One Azerbaijani source, however, claims that Moscow is not likely to tolerate an Azerbaijani takeover of Nagorno-Karabakh itself. It is also the prevalent understanding in Baku political circles that Moscow is prepared to accept only minor Azerbaijani victories, with the status quo unchallenged. However, since Russia has so far remained reluctant to intervene on the side of its ally Armenia, speculation has grown that Moscow and Baku have come to some form of unwritten agreement even before the start of large-scale fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. Whether or not this is the case will become clearer with time.
There are sources that suggest that Turkey and Russia may be interested in establishing a joint peace operation in Nagorno-Karabakh. While Baku may accept such a plan, it is very unlikely to find support in Yerevan, Russian pressure notwithstanding. Therefore, the future of peace talks on Nagorno-Karabakh will likely be determined by the outcome of the ongoing fighting in the region and particularly by Baku’s ability to establish control over strategic heights in the southern direction of the frontline.
CONCLUSIONS: Moscow’s response as well as Yerevan’s and Baku’s interest in engaging in peace talks will be heavily influenced by developments on the frontlines. If Azerbaijani forces succeed in sustaining their offensive into Nagorno-Karabakh, Baku’s demands will increase and the question is whether it will still be willing to discuss a special status for Nagorno-Karabakh within Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan’s advances will also further reduce Yerevan’s opportunities to declare independence for Nagorno-Karabakh. While the fighting is raging, Moscow continues to keep its distance and refrains from openly supporting either side. The Kremlin can nevertheless be expected to increase its efforts to mediate a peace deal – as implied by the most recent high-level trilateral talks in Moscow – in order to prevent a complete Azerbaijani victory.

CNA: Far Fewer U.S. Companies Are Optimistic about Future Business in China
Primary Taiwanese news agency Central News Agency (CNA) recently reported that, according to a report just released by the US-China Business Council, due to factors such as strict Covid control measures and rising geopolitical tensions, the proportion of U.S. companies that are optimistic about China’s business prospects for the next five years has plummeted from nearly 90 percent 10 years ago to barely more than half as much now. This is a new all-time low. The report is based on interviewing the Council’s 117 member companies, most of whom are large multinational companies headquartered in the United States that have operated in China for more than 20 years. The survey found that optimism about the business outlook in China for the next five years among respondents has fallen sharply. It fell by 18 percentage points this year, to an all-time low of 51 percent. Comparing China’s current business environment with three years ago, 83 percent of the companies surveyed said they are not as optimistic now as they used to be. This represents an increase of 24 percentage points compared to last year. At the same time, the proportion who felt pessimistic doubled last year’s number to 21 percent, a record high. The report pointed out that, given the long-term impact and uncertainties caused by the tension between China and the United States, the surveyed companies believe that geopolitical factors will have the greatest impact on the outlook, including China’s Covid control policies as well as technology regulations. This annual report also details the top ten challenges faced by American businessmen in China. The lockdown policy replaces Sino-US relations as the number one challenge this year. Around 96 percent of the companies surveyed have suffered heavy losses due to the government’s Covid control measures.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.
It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Kelo vs city of london. What did the Supreme Court decide in Kelo v City of New London quizlet? 2022-10-27
Kelo vs city of london Rating: 5,2/10 125 reviews
Kelo v. City of New London was a landmark case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in 2005. The case centered on the city of New London, Connecticut's use of eminent domain to acquire privately owned property for economic development. At the heart of the case was a question of whether a government's use of eminent domain to take private property for economic development purposes constituted a "public use" under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which states that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation.
The case arose when the city of New London sought to use eminent domain to acquire land from several private property owners in order to build a new development. The development, known as the Fort Trumbull project, was intended to revitalize the city's economy by attracting new businesses and creating jobs. The city argued that the project constituted a public use because it would provide a significant benefit to the community, including increased tax revenue, new job opportunities, and improved property values.
However, several of the property owners argued that the city's use of eminent domain was not a valid public use, and that the city was simply trying to benefit private interests at the expense of their own private property rights. They argued that the city had not shown that the project would actually benefit the community, and that the city had other options for revitalizing the economy without taking their property.
The case made its way to the Supreme Court, where the Court ultimately ruled in favor of the city. In a 5-4 decision, the Court held that the city's use of eminent domain for economic development purposes was a valid public use under the Fifth Amendment. The Court reasoned that the city had carefully planned the project and had demonstrated that it would benefit the community, and that the property owners were being fairly compensated for their property.
The decision in Kelo v. City of New London was highly controversial and sparked widespread debate over the use of eminent domain for economic development purposes. Many argued that the decision gave too much power to the government to take private property for the benefit of private interests, and that it weakened the protection of private property rights under the Fifth Amendment. Others argued that the decision was necessary in order to allow cities to pursue economic development projects that would benefit the community as a whole.
Regardless of one's view on the decision, it is clear that Kelo v. City of New London had a significant impact on the use of eminent domain in the United States. The case has shaped the way that governments and courts approach the question of what constitutes a valid public use, and has helped to define the limits of the government's power to take private property for public purposes.

INCLUDING ALL THE STUDENTS: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MIXED ABILITY CLASSES
In many school systems across the world, the existence of ‘mixed abilities’ classrooms has recently become much more significant. The introduction of English into primary schools and the abolition of selective entry into different types of secondary schools have in many places created a situation where teachers now find apparently enormous variations in ability in their classrooms – sometimes students who may be almost fluent in English can be found sitting in the same class as students who appear to know next to nothing. Such a situation can indeed seem almost impossible to manage, and certainly there are no quick and easy solutions. There may be many different ways to manage the situation, but in this short article I want to concentrate on one particular factor which is perhaps often neglected. This is how students think about themselves, how they see themselves as ‘language learners’ and the impact this can have on their abilities in English. I will also show how the Cambridge English for Schools series of books can contribute to improving students’ images of themselves.
According to a Cambridge Methodist Andrew Littlejohn we should consider the basic facts about human psychology. We can start with a very simple, but nonetheless true fact about ourselves as human beings. That is – that in general we like what we do well, and we dislike what we don't do well. If we do something well, we are inclined to do it again, and in doing it again we improve still further. This basic fact is often called ‘achievement motivation’ – the motivation that comes from simply achieving. Unfortunately, however, for many learners the reverse is also true. If they find that they don’t do something well, they will usually try to avoid doing it again. In consequence, they generally get worse, not better, over time as they avoid repeating the experience of failure. One very common phenomena in many classrooms is that while the students may appear to start, for example, a beginners course apparently ‘equal’ in their lack of knowledge, in a very short time gaps appear in the class, with some students noticeably stronger than others in the foreign language. Over time, these gaps appear to get wider, not narrower, with the stronger students getting better and the weaker students apparently getting worse. If we think about the role of achievement motivation we can understand why this may be happening – for while some students are on an upward spiral in which achievement stimulates their motivation, other students are on a downward spiral in which previous failure demotivates them.
We cannot deny that differences in personal ability exist but this way of thinking about student motivation, with upward and downward spirals, points to the fact that many causes of variation in student ability may actually have their origin in the way that the class is being conducted. Specifically, while some students learn to see themselves as ‘successes’, other students quickly learn to see themselves as ‘failures’. Classroom research shows that even from a very early age, students monitor, for example, the feedback that teachers give other students in the classroom and they learn to see themselves comparatively – as among ‘the best’, ‘the middle’ or ‘the weakest’ in the class. These self-images can have a direct impact on the amount of effort the student puts into learning a language. What is the point of working harder, if you think that you won't learn anyway?
There is always a dilemma for teaching. The link between the students’ perception of themselves and the impact this had on their motivation to learn places us in a particularly difficult situation. On the one hand, different students need different tasks suited to their level of ability. Many teachers therefore divide their classes into different groups and give each group a different talk to do. Similarly, some schools divide a ‘year’ up into different ‘bands’ (A, B, C, D, etc.), with the ‘top band’ perhaps using a ‘more difficult’ course-book than the ‘lower bands’. We can see the reasoning behind this – to provide work appropriate to the level of ability of the students. On the other hand, however, establishing and fixing difference in this way can itself cause such difference to persist. For the students in Class A, for example, their ‘A’ label is undoubtedly very good for them – the very fact of having made it to the top will probably motivate them to work hard enough to stay there. Unfortunately, Class A’s increase in motivation may be achieved directly at the expense of Class D’s motivation. Class A in fact needs Class D in order to continue to achieve. Given this contradiction, what then is the best way to proceed?
The basic problem we think is that many approaches to dealing with mixed abilities in classrooms are based on the idea of exclusion and establishing difference. That is, of excluding some students from work that is ‘difficult’, and of fixing these differences almost in stone. Students, for example, who are continually given ‘easier’ controlled tasks to do have now way of demonstrating that they can work at more difficult levels, that their abilities may in fact vary in relation to the kind of task they are given, the topic they are working on, who they are working with, the time they have available and so on. What we need therefore is an approach to mixed ability teaching that is based on inclusion whilst still allowing for differences.
Let us now dwell upon such terms as inclusion and allowing for difference in a classroom. We want to show how these two ideas of inclusion and allowing for difference in mixed ability classes can be developed, firstly in terms of a year group and secondly in the classroom. One of the distinctive features of English for Schools is the way in which the course is divided into different themes. Each theme has within it five different units. The main language syllabus is carried through the first two units in each theme, with the remaining three units providing development or extension work in culture, social language, whole tasks and revision work. This division can be seen very clearly by looking at the map at the front of the book. The language syllabus is carried out by the units on the left of the map. The Topic Unit teachers mainly vocabulary, while the Language Focus unit provides grammar related work. The Units listed in the right-hand side of the map provide the development and extension work. This division allows us to provide opportunities for inclusion of all students across a year group, and to allow for differences in abilities where the students have been streamed. In this way, all classes across the year may work from the same text. Some classes may be able to cover all or most of the units in the course. Other classes, however, may devote more time to working on the Units on the left-hand side of the map, using the photocopiable worksheets and extra ideas provided in the Teacher’s Book to provide more practice. Other classes might use a mixture of both – covering all the Units on the left-hand side of the map and dipping into the Units on the right-hand side. No strict separation needs to be established. A teacher might find for example that students respond particularly enthusiastically to some themes and are eager to do more work on them. The key point in this case is that as far as possible all classes across the year need to cover a minimum the first two unit in each theme. In this way, all classes will cover the same basic language syllabus. The advantage of working in this way is that it allows classes the possibility to demonstrate that they are able to do more than perhaps the teacher expected. It also gives all students the feeling that they ‘belong’ to a coherent year group – and that they are all using the same text.
Brainstorming, working collaboratively, and sharing personal reactions to a topic are also ways of generating a feeling of inclusion. This aim of inclusion is also behind the extra support for mixed ability classes that you can find in the Teacher’s Book. for all of the ‘key’ tasks in each Unit, there are tinted grey panels in the unit notes. These panels give ideas about how a particular task can be made more challenging or how more support can be given. The key point about these ideas is that they are intended to make it possible for all the students to feel that they are keeping up with the work of the class.
In this short article, we hope that we have been able to show that there is a psychology of mixed ability teaching. Planning classroom work to include all students in such a way that we can allow for differences between them can have an immediate beneficial effect on their self-image and consequently on the amount of effort that they have put into their studies. Giving the students the feeling they are ‘in’ not ‘out’ is an important first step in establishing an upward spiral of achievement. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11541 | {"url": "http://confcontact.com/2012edu/tom3/4_Kirakosyan.htm", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "confcontact.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:10:21Z", "digest": "sha1:7HTTKXGYGYL2C4CJPMVTPJ4VEWP6GLPI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 9110, 9110.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 9110, 9556.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 9110, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 9110, 11.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 9110, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 9110, 247.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 9110, 0.51337507]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 9110, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 9110, 0.03940621]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 9110, 0.01835358]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 9110, 0.00890688]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 9110, 0.00890688]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 9110, 0.00890688]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 9110, 0.00809717]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 9110, 0.0048583]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 9110, 0.00701754]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 9110, 0.01365965]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 9110, 0.11269209]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 9110, 0.32239382]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 9110, 4.76833977]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 9110, 5.38996067]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 9110, 1554.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 14, 1.0], [14, 74, 0.0], [74, 142, 0.0], [142, 1233, 1.0], [1233, 2742, 1.0], [2742, 3622, 1.0], [3622, 4865, 1.0], [4865, 5612, 1.0], [5612, 7994, 1.0], [7994, 8614, 1.0], [8614, 9110, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 74, 0.0], [74, 142, 0.0], [142, 1233, 0.0], [1233, 2742, 0.0], [2742, 3622, 0.0], [3622, 4865, 0.0], [4865, 5612, 0.0], [5612, 7994, 0.0], [7994, 8614, 0.0], [8614, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 14, 2.0], [14, 74, 7.0], [74, 142, 10.0], [142, 1233, 177.0], [1233, 2742, 253.0], [2742, 3622, 145.0], [3622, 4865, 213.0], [4865, 5612, 127.0], [5612, 7994, 422.0], [7994, 8614, 112.0], [8614, 9110, 86.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 74, 0.0], [74, 142, 0.0], [142, 1233, 0.0], [1233, 2742, 0.0], [2742, 3622, 0.0], [3622, 4865, 0.0], [4865, 5612, 0.0], [5612, 7994, 0.0], [7994, 8614, 0.0], [8614, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 74, 0.0], [74, 142, 0.0], [142, 1233, 0.0], [1233, 2742, 0.0], [2742, 3622, 0.0], [3622, 4865, 0.0], [4865, 5612, 0.0], [5612, 7994, 0.0], [7994, 8614, 0.0], [8614, 9110, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 14, 0.14285714], [14, 74, 0.1], [74, 142, 0.83823529], [142, 1233, 0.01191567], [1233, 2742, 0.00994036], [2742, 3622, 0.00568182], [3622, 4865, 0.02011263], [4865, 5612, 0.00535475], [5612, 7994, 0.01343409], [7994, 8614, 0.01129032], [8614, 9110, 0.00604839]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 9110, 0.63502806]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 9110, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 9110, 0.13781089]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 9110, -199.58145556]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 9110, 193.55880379]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 9110, -280.71309403]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 9110, 67.0]]} |

Arisa＇s COSPLAY - Hetalia: Axis Powers (2010/12/06)
Arisa is cosplaying as United Kingdom from Hetalia: Axis Powers. Hetalia: Axis Powers (ヘタリア Axis Powers Hetaria Akushisu Pawāzu) is a webcomic, later adapted as a manga and an anime series, by Hidekaz Himaruya (日丸屋秀和 Himaruya Hidekazu). The series presents an allegorical interpretation of political and historic events, particularly of the World War II era, in which the various countries are represented by anthropomorphic characters. Hetalia (ヘタリア?) is a portmanteau combining hetare (へタレ, Japanese for "useless") and Italia (イタリア?). This is to make light of Italy's apparent cowardice during World War II.
Himaruya originally created Hetalia as an online webcomic, and so far three tankōbon have been published by Gentosha Comics, the first on March 28, 2008, the second on December 10, 2008, and the third on May 20, 2010. The series was later adapted into drama CDs, and an anime series created by Studio Deen has also begun streaming online. On January 8, 2010, the anime series' international distribution was announced to be handled by Funimation Entertainment.
The main historical events portrayed in this work occur between World War I and World War II. The series often uses satire and comedy to address well-known historical events as well as historical and cultural trivia. Historical political and military interaction between countries is allegorically represented in Hetalia as social and romantic interaction between the characters; the webcomic version in particular depicts military and economic incursions using various innuendo.

China’s Pacific ambitions have been checked, for now
What's happened?
The second China-Pacific islands foreign ministers' virtual meeting was held on May 30th, co-hosted in Fiji by that country's prime minister and foreign minister, Frank Bainimarama, and China's foreign minister, Wang Yi. The summit did not approve a region-wide trade and security agreement proposed by China, suggesting that Pacific islands are reluctant to align more tightly with China.
The signing of the agreement, known as the Common Development Vision, would have linked Pacific island nations more closely with China as a development and security partner. The failure to secure a consensus behind it preserves the geopolitical status quo in the region—for now—and provides an opportunity for Australia, the US and other Western-aligned powers to step up regional diplomacy.
Geopolitical competition gives Pacific island governments the chance to secure development benefits and policy support on issues such as climate change, but it will also probably create a difficult balancing act.
The failure to gain backing for the agreement represents a check on China's ambitions in the region. Internally, there will likely be questions about the wisdom of pursuing such a sprawling agreement, achieving consensus on which would probably be difficult. Besides development issues, where China is an established partner of Pacific island nations, it also proposed deeper co‑operation in more sensitive areas, such as law enforcement, marine mapping, cybersecurity and within UN bodies. The leaking of the document before the meeting highlighted concerns within the region, and David Panuelo, the president of the Federated States of Micronesia, criticised the proposal.
The agreement's failure does not mean that Chinese influence in the region will retreat. The meeting still yielded commitments on furthering co‑operation in areas such as agriculture, climate change and poverty reduction, and China's broad economic influence will probably rise steadily.
For the more controversial elements included in the Common Development Vision, China could pursue bilateral arrangements, as it has done recently on security with the Solomon Islands. The ability of the Pacific islands to retain a consensus-driven approach will be hindered by current divisions within the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), the region's main multilateral body, over its leadership.
China will shelve the Common Development Vision and instead use it as a basis for further consultations, including at the bilateral level. Australia and the US, among others, will step up engagement in the region, both through PIF and bilaterally, having been alerted to the extent of Chinese ambition. Pacific island governments will welcome financing commitments related to climate change and expanded market access for their exports. Sprawling multilateral agreements backed by any major power will probably prove difficult to achieve.

Asian Plain Martin Riparia chinensis
Family: Hirundinidae (Swallows and martins)
Authority: (Gray, 1830)
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 11,500,000 km2

Biblical Divine Healing
Versus Other Types Of Healing
by Sandy Simpson, 1/25/02
There are basically five types of healing in the world today. Biblical Divine Healing, Natural Healing, Medicinal/Medical Healing, Psychological Healing, and Paranormal/Demonic Healing. This paper is an attempt to study these various types of healings, to identify their characteristics, to show their biblical support, and then to make comparisons with some of the healing claims of televangelists like Benny Hinn and others. We will be using mainly references from the New Testament for our examples on healing, even though there are many excellent ones in the Old Testament as well.
To study the various kinds of healing, I am going to start with Biblical Divine Healing first to give us something to compare with all other forms of healing.
(1) Biblical Divine Healing
True Biblical Divine Healing is immediate, lasting, verifiable and all the glory goes to Jesus Christ. I will add to this description after proving some additional points.
(a) Immediate
All the examples of Biblical Divine Healing in the New Testament (hereafter NT) were accomplished by the power of God instantaneously. They were not done by the person (with the exception of Jesus Christ Himself) but were done through the person by the Holy Spirit. God is the only One who can do a creative healing. All other healings are natural or lying wonders, but only God can create. Healings in the NT never took a long time. They were always accomplished the same day, and in most cases were instantaneous.
(b) Lasting
All Biblical Divine Healings were lasting. They lasted for the rest of the person's natural life. They did not wear off. The person that was healed did not have to come back for repeated treatments or healings. The only case where there might be an exemption to this fact would be in the case of a conditional healing, where a person is exhorted to obey the Lord or the healing will be nullified. But, though there are hints of this in the story of the adulterous woman in John 8:1-11 (which story is not present in the majority of early manuscripts and papyri) and in the healing of Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:5, I am hard pressed to absolutely prove that assumption by Scripture. Perhaps someone else can dig out an example of this.
(c) Verifiable
All Biblical Divine Healings were verifiable. The NT healings were obvious healings. The most obvious were recorded as proof. Nearly half the incidents of healings in the NT that are descriptively recorded are of the most obvious kind, completely verifiable, beyond question. The people who were healed were well known in the community, in fact they were known by their ailment. Following are the NT incidents of obvious healings that were used as proof, as a sign verifying who Jesus Christ was and the validity of the ministry and the authority of the Apostles.
Matthew 4:24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. - obvious illnesses
Matthew 8:3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
Matthew 8:8, 13 The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour. - paralyzed
Matthew 8:14-15 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.
Matthew 9:21-22 She said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed." Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment. - 12 years bleeding
Matthew 11:5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
Matthew 12:10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"
Matthew 15:30 Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.
Matthew 21:14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.
Mark 1:42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.
Mark 5:23 and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live." - dying daughter
Mark 10:52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. - public figure known to be blind
Luke 7:7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. - dead son
Luke 7:21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind.
Luke 7:22 So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
Luke 8:50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed." - daughter dead
Luke 13:10-13 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity." Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
Luke 14:4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him away. - man with dropsy
Luke 17:15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. - 10 lepers
Luke 22:51 But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched the man’s ear and healed him. - servant of the high priest's cut off ear
John 4:47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
John 5:9-10 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, and so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat." - an invalid for thirty-eight years
John 11:1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. - Lazarus raised from the dead
Acts 3:16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see. - crippled from birth
Acts 4:9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, - crippled from birth
Acts 8:7 With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed.
Acts 9:40 Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
Acts 14:9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed - a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
Acts 28:8 His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.
Furthermore ALL the diseases listed as proof were incurable at that time of history. Demonic diseases, oppression, and possession that were obvious are listed below:
Matthew 8:33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon possessed men.
Matthew 9:33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
Matthew 12:22 Then they brought him a demon possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.
Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. - demon possessed daughter
Matthew 17:18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.
Mark 7:29 Then he told her, "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."
Luke 4:35 "Be quiet!" Jesus said sternly. "Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
Luke 6:18 who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by evil spirits were cured,
Luke 8:2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out;
Luke 8:36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon possessed man had been cured.
Luke 9:42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
Luke 11:14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.
Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
The other verses in the NT on healing, as listed below, were generic listings which were not specific as to what kind of healings were done. We cannot infer anything from the silence of these passages as to the types of healings, simply that Jesus healed many types of diseases and conditions.
Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
Matthew 8:16 When evening came, many who were demon possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
Matthew 9:35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
Matthew 12:15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Many followed him, and he healed all their sick,
Matthew 14:14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Matthew 14:35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him
Matthew 14:36 and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.
Matthew 19:2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
Mark 1:34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.
Mark 3:10 For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.
Mark 6:5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
Mark 6:13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
Mark 6:56 And wherever he went- into villages, towns or countryside- they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.
Luke 4:40 When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.
Luke 5:15 Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
Luke 6:19 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.
Luke 9:6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
Luke 9:11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
John 6:2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.
John 7:23 Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath?
Acts 5:16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by evil spirits, and all of them were healed.
Acts 19:12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.
Acts 28:9 When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.
(d) All Glory to God
All the glory goes to God for Biblical Divine Healing because it is impossible for anything or anyone to effect Biblical Divine Healing except God Himself. Divine healing can occur at any time or any place. God can heal in response to the prayers of the righteous (James 5:16) in answer to the prayers of the elders in a local church (James 5:14) or simply because God wants to heal someone. I see no evidence in Scripture AT ALL of divine healing occurring as a sign to justify false teachers or false prophets. I believe it is possible for a person to receive divine healing anywhere. It is even remotely possible for God to heal someone for His own purposes at a meeting of a false teacher, but in that case it is also a test and the responsibility of that Christian to understand that the Lord did the healing and he is commanded to get away from false teachers as Jesus and the Apostles told us to do.
To definitively prove that a healing is a Biblical Divine Healing today ... that healing would have to be (1) of an incurable condition (2) obvious (3) verifiable (4) a problem well known to many people (5) immediate (6) lasting and (7) ascribed alone to the glory of God Who accomplished it by His omnipotent power alone. If it does not meet ALL these criteria it should not be used to prove it is a type of Biblical Divine Healing.
(2) Natural Healing
Natural healing is a feature that God created in all plant, animal and human life. The information needed to effect a great deal of healing in the human body is part of our genetic code. Natural healing is the type of healing that occurs most often. It is truly a gift from God, but most people don't even give it a second thought.
There is ample evidence for Natural Healing in the Bible (Leviticus 13:18, 37; Joshua 5:8) because God created us (Psalms 139:13) carries (sustains) us, and rescues us (Isaiah 46:4). We must be careful to be truthful about what is Natural Healing versus Divine Healing. They are two radically different processes.
(a) Slow
Natural Healing is, for many reasons, a slow process. Over time the body heals itself, giving itself time to rest and recoup.
(b) May or may not last
Natural Healing usually lasts until the next sickness, injury or other problem presents itself. But Natural Healing is not always a cure all. There are times when the body is overwhelmed and, without outside help, it cannot heal itself. Also, if the body becomes weakened, such as a weak immune system, the body may no longer be able to repair itself and disease may continually reoccur.
(c) Verifiable and hard to verify
Natural healing is many times verifiable because it is obvious when a person gets better, when a cut heals, etc. But it can also occur yet be mistaken for other types of healing. A person may think the pill they are taking for Medicinal Healing cured them, but it could be mainly due to Natural Healing or other types of healing.
(d) God deserves the glory, mostly glory is given to the evolution of man
Though God deserves all the glory for creating our bodies with the wonderful ability to repair themselves, most of the glory these days is being given to the evolution of man. I believe that the Bible teaches that we are actually devolved from the pure genetic code of Adam and Eve and those who lived before the flood. Unfortunately man often glories in his own abilities and attributes without giving credit where credit is ultimately due.
Natural Healing happens over and over through the lifetime of the individual. Biblical Divine Healing is a one time event dealing with a specific disease. God has provided the body with marvelous self healing functions. But Natural Healing is not Biblical Divine Healing. God can work through Natural Healing, but it is not Biblical Divine Healing as was demonstrated by Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
(3) Medicinal/Medical Healing
Medicinal healing can be obtained by using plants, herbs and many other substances God created for us to use. Because of the accumulated human learning we have acquired over the millennia that God's grace has tarried, we also have much wisdom in the healing arts that have been passed down to us. Practitioners of Medical Healing today are doctors, dentists, and many other healing professions.
There is a lot of evidence of Medicinal Healing in the Bible (2 Chronicles 28:15, Jeremiah 8:22, 1 Timothy 4:3,5:23) as well as Medical Healing (Ezekiel 30:21, Colossians 4:14). Interestingly, the nations will eventually be healed by the fruit and leaves from a tree, the Tree of Life (Ezekiel 47:12, Revelation 22:2).
Medicinal/Medical Healing should not be confused with Divine Healing. They are totally different.
(a) Mostly slow, rarely fast
Most treatments, both medicinally and medically, promote slow healing. There are a few exceptions. A shot of pain killer can quickly mask pain. Ice water on a burn can almost immediately soothe the pain. But in both these cases actual healing takes a longer time.
This type of healing can promote lasting healing, but can also simply give temporary healing.
(c) Fairly verifiable
Medicinal Healing is fairly verifiable when Natural Healing has not worked. But there are other factors that could also be at play, including Psychological Healing. Medical Healing can often be measured when accurate charts are kept. But again it is not an exact science and other factors could be at play at the same time.
(d) God deserves the glory; mostly glory is given to man
Again, God deserves the glory for creating the plants and other natural materials necessary to develop medicines. He also deserves the glory for allowing the human race to be around long enough to, through trial and error, develop what is today medical knowledge that can help many people. Unfortunately the glory usually goes to the medicine or the medical practitioner.
Medicinal/Medical Healing generally happens over and over through the lifetime of the individual for various problems that can reoccur if not treated. Biblical Divine Healing is a one time event dealing with a specific disease. God can and does use Medicinal/Medical Healing to heal people, particularly when righteous Christians are praying that the Lord will give the medical practitioner wisdom to know how to treat a given problem. But it is not Biblical Divine Healing as was demonstrated by Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
(4) Psychological Healing
There are many helps to healing that come under the heading of Psychological Healing, some positive and some negative. In the positive category would be things like positive thinking. The benefits of positive thinking and having a happy, carefree attitude have an effect on health issues, especially on emotional problems. But it can also affect the physical, particularly where the root problem is psychological to begin with. Keep in mind that positive thinking is not Divine Healing, but is a change of attitude. Adrenaline and seratonin can also play a role in making people feel better, even in thinking they are healed when they aren't. This is one of the key factors we see in the modern "faith healer" crusades. People are pronounced healed by Biblical Divine Healing who have merely been manipulated to the point where adrenaline or seratonin are released, thus helping them to get up out of their wheelchair for a time, or feel like they are healed. The problem is that this is a temporary condition and wears off. It can even be detrimental to their health in the long run. Along with emotional manipulation to get people to the point where their body excretes pain reducing chemicals, is outright hypnosis. This is another trick in the "faith healer's" bag of tricks. People are brainwashed and put into an altered state of consciousness by loud repetitious music, repetition of key phrases, group dynamics and reinforcement techniques, and other cultic practices. Finally they end up in a type of trance state where they suspend their cognitive faculties in favor of a pure emotional experience. This can lead to delusions of healing and visions that are not real. Hypnosis has ties to Paranormal/Demonic Healing that cannot be ignored.
(a) Sometimes immediate, mostly slow
Sometimes an immediate rush of body chemicals can cause temporary alleviation of pain, euphoria, etc. But this is not true healing, it is only temporary. Generally positive thinking is a slow process that may bring some healing over time.
Again, the effects of Psychological Healing are only lasting if the original condition was psychologically induced, or if the emotional state of the person directly affects their physical health. Chemicals and hypnosis usually wear off over time. In any cases, this type of "healing" is temporary over time and will have to be "experienced" over and over.
(c) Almost impossible to verify
Needless to say, Psychological Healing is almost impossible to verify in any way known to modern science, or even experientially. That "faith healers" would use this type of healing to justify themselves is scandalous when science can't even adequately explain the mechanisms and effects involved.
(d) God deserves the glory, mostly glory is given to self
Though God does deserve the glory for creating the mind and body that responds to Natural Healing, Medicinal/Medical Healing and Psychological Healing, this type of healing is rarely attributed to God. It is almost always attributed to psychology, faith healers or the individual. God does help people emotionally, mentally, psychologically to promote healing, but it is not Biblical Divine Healing as was demonstrated by Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
(5) Paranormal/Demonic Healing
Paranormal/Demonic Healing has been in existence in the world practically since the creation. It is the oldest healing art. But the problem with this type of healing is that it is a (1) lying wonder and (2) opens the door to demonic influence, demonization, even possession. A lying wonder is not necessarily a false wonder or false miracle, but it is, more importantly, a miracle claimed to be from God but whose source is really from the devil. It is important to understand that actual healing can come from a lying wonder. But it is a type of healing that leads the person into bondage to the enemy. It is often used to confirm the alleged power of an individual, but behind it come the deceptions of the enemy. It's like a fish trap. The bait in the trap is real food and will nourish the fish that eats is, but after he is finished he is inside of a trap, whether or not he realizes it. There is much evidence also that suggests that this type of healing is a shell game of the enemy. By that I mean that the original condition was caused by the enemy, then when it is brought to a faith healer, witch doctor or shaman, the enemy cleverly lifts that condition only to replace it with other forms of demonization. This type of healing also, in many documented cases, may eventually lead to suicide and death. We must also remember that lying begets lying. People who get this kind of healing become part of the deception themselves, in turn deceiving others. It is an insidious form of healing that must be avoided at all costs.
(a) Immediate to slow
This type of healing can be immediate to slow. I have seen documentary evidence of miraculous Paranormal/Demonic Healings at the hands of shaman (including Christian "faith healers"). The length of the problem all depends on what the enemy wants to accomplish with the healing.
(b) May last for awhile, but usually temporary
This is one fairly good indicator to test the difference between Divine and Paranormal/Demonic Healing. It is my studied opinion that this type of healing is usually temporary or a "shell game" as I previously indicated. Repeated treatments are necessary, either for the original problem or for the string of problems caused as a result of continued demonization.
(c) Usually hard to verify
There are very visual cases of this type of healing where people have apparently been healed, making it very hard to discern the difference between Biblical Divine and Paranormal/Demonic Healing. But for the most part this kind of healing is usually of problems that are hard, if not impossible, to verify. This is because Satan is the master of the occult, the hidden. He loves to makes fools of people with his lies and deception.
(d) All glory to man and the devil while lip service to God
This is the point to watch most closely. Test and see who gets the glory. In Biblical Divine Healing all the glory goes to God. In Paranormal/Demonic Healing glory to God may be given lip service, but most of the glory actually goes to men and the enemy. Satan, by causing people to place their faith in the "power", "it", "the river", "the force of faith" or some faith healing guru, usurps worship for himself that belongs to God. God does not use Paranormal/Demonic Healing to heal. God does not validate the work of shamans, faith healers, false teachers or false prophets. As stated before, Divine Healing can occur any time.
A major point is this:
Even if you got a Biblical Divine Healing in a meeting of a false prophet,
you are still commanded by God to get away from false prophets.
If you remain, the enemy can even use a true Biblical Divine Healing to deceive you!
Paranormal/Demonic Healing is to be avoided at all costs. It is the most dangerous. It has nothing to do with Biblical Divine Healing as was demonstrated by Jesus Christ and the Apostles, but it can look the most like it of any of the modes of healing.
Here is a helpful chart to put all the information above in a quick table format:
Biblical Divine Healing Natural Healing Medicinal/Medical Healing Psychological Healing Paranormal/Demonic Healing
How quickly? Immediate Slow Mostly slow Immediate to slow Immediate to slow
How long? Lasting May/may not last May/may not last May/may not last Usually temporary
How verifiable? Always Fair to hard Fair Hard Fair to hard
Who gets the glory? God alone Evolution of man Man Man Man, Satan
How To Judge Healers
Here's how we are to judge, discern and test those who claim to be able to heal.
Most importantly we are to judge healers first by what they teach. If their teaching deviates from the core doctrines of the Faith as found in the sixty-six books of the Bible we are to avoid them and warn others against them. Read my booklet called "What Should I Say" for a short biblical view of how we are to judge, discern and test the spirits.
An equally important test to apply is to test the truth of alleged prophecies from the Lord made by the healer. If a prophet does not tell the truth while claiming to have a direct line or communication from God, that prophet is to be avoided like the plague. It doesn't matter if he can bring fire down from heaven and raise the dead, he is not to be trusted.
Fruit of the Spirit (not gifts)
The more difficult test, yet a biblical one, is the fruit of the Spirit. We're not talking about the gifts of the Spirit, but the fruit of the Spirit. We are to look for the attributes of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control in their lives. False healers can act like they have these, but usually they betray themselves sooner or later in one way or another. With reference to Third Wave faith healers, they ALWAYS go against the fruit of peace and self-control. This is because the "faith healing" is almost always tied to "slain in the spirit", a phenomena that almost always results in pandemonium and mayhem rather than peace and self-control. Those being "slain" are often taught to empty their minds, stop praying, let go, leave their minds at the door. The meetings of Third Wave faith healers are almost always places of the lack of peace and self-control. They are often also places where people are being fleeced of their money and faith healers are reaping the profits. This is not the fruit of goodness and kindness, but of greed and a lack of sympathy for the less fortunate. They betray themselves to be false brethren when they do these things.
How Not To Judge Healers
Healers should not be tested, as to whether or not Biblical Divine Healing is happening in their ministries, on the merits of the miracles themselves. Though the chart above will be helpful in ruling out deception and pinpointing types of healing, it is not the best way to discern and test faith healers. Bear in mind that every deception of the enemy is also leading up to the big end times deception of the Antichrist and the False Prophet. The False Prophet will bring fire down from heaven and likely heal the Antichrist. The Lord states clearly that there will be many who claim to prophesy, cast out demons and do miracles that He never knew (Matthew 7:21-23). The secular world, as well as much of what is called the "Church" today, has been conditioned to judge the validity of a ministry or a person by virtue of the signs and wonders he can perform. This is not a good basis for judgment, especially because these same things are being done by occultists now and will ultimately be done by the False Prophet.
The conclusion of this matter is simple. You can have your body healed but lose your soul. So you should test any alleged Biblical Divine Healing claim by testing the person to see if he is a true teacher, a true prophet, and exhibits the fruit of the Spirit. If they fail this test, no matter how spectacular the healing and no matter if it happened to you personally, get away from false teachers and false prophets. God can and still does heal with Biblical Divine Healing. If you want healing, ask the Lord. Go to the elders of your church and have them pray for you. But stay away from healing crusades and Christian shaman masquerading as true men of God. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11546 | {"url": "http://deceptioninthechurch.com/divinehealing.html",

Beach Party 2009
Susan Dahl Running
Hi Everyone ...
Plans are in the works for another beach party on August 1, 2009. Yeah! Everyone that attended the last party definitely had a good time. So please share your favorite parts of the day, and let's keep our conversations going.
Re: Beach Party 2009

I have enjoyed the Park Point Picnic Reunion from afar thanks to the great slide show. We were in the process of moving to Whidbey Island (a great place to visit - hint, hint!) so couldn't be there in person. But I'm hoping to be able to be with you all on 8/1/09.

Kaikai Kiki Gallery is pleased to announce that from Friday July 25, we will hold a solo exhibition by artist Lee Ufan.
Since the late 60s, Lee Ufan has been praised both in and outside of Japan as one of the leading artists of the Monoha movement.
In recent years, however, he has moved beyond this framework to become a one of a kind artist occupying his own singular territory.
In 2010, a museum of his work, Lee Ufan Museum, opened on Naoshima Island in Kagawa prefecture, while in 2011, a solo exhibition of his work was held at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. His work is also currently on view in a special exhibition at the Palace of Versailles.
At present, he divides his time between Paris and Kamakura, devoting his days to his work.
This new exhibition will feature two installation works. In keeping with the Monoha theory of exploring the work’s relationship with its environs, the installations are composed of stones, sand, canvas and other materials which are for the most part untouched by the artist’s hands. In doing so, Ufan creates a synergy with the audience and their surroundings, allowing him to transform the results into a space with archaeological elements.
In contemporary art terms, there are few acts more poetic or ambitious in their challenge to the thread of art history. We hope you will experience this space, where past, present and future become one and the artist’s fantastic imagination is allowed to bloom, for yourself.
Holding an exhibition with Lee Ufan, both for Kaikai Kiki as a gallery, and for myself, is an act of great meaning and the product of six years of communication with the artist, as well as collaboration with Shiraishi Contemporary Art Inc./ SCAI THE BATHHOUSE. Monoha remains a singular movement within not only Japanese history but global art history.
Its challenge to the hegemony of western art was built upon a firm understanding of western context and offered a simultaneous inhalation of and escape from that context, leaving a trail within the art world that was the cause of much debate. At the same time, the fact remains that its deconstruction of western context is difficult to fully understand and was lacking in organization. For this reason, the reaction within the art world was also quite varied in its level of appreciation.
However in February 2012, the exhibition Requiem for the Sun: The art of Mono-ha was curated by Mika Yoshitake at Blum & Poe Gallery and the movement’s more challenging elements were rewoven into a tapestry that now sits at the center of the art scene. The man responsible for carving the intellectual core of that movement was Lee Ufan and I have long dreamed that in exhibiting his work, I would be able to showcase the meaning of the east within contemporary art. I am now happy to present the realization of that dream.

Don't forget the original heart, remember the mission, ingenuity build dreams to live up to your youth
Categories:Guangwei concentric circles
(Summary description)In order to commemorate the 97th anniversary of the founding of the party, inherit the red culture, promote patriotism, give play to the role of party members as a pioneer, and actively implement the spirit of "not forgetting the original heart and keeping in mind the mission", the party committee of Guangwei Group Co., Ltd. organized 200 party members to visit the national rejuvenation base Educational activities allow every party member participating in the event to accept the baptism of revolution, deepen patriotism, and strengthen ideals and beliefs. The event was divided into three batches. On July 3, the first group of party members went to the Tianfu Mountain Uprising Memorial Hall and Liugong Island to visit and study.
In the morning, all party members paid a dignified look at the Tianfu Mountain Uprising Memorial Hall. The Tianfu Mountain Uprising fired the first shot of the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese War, which not only aroused the enthusiasm of the people of Jiaodong, but also aroused the upsurge of the people across the country. The victory of the Third Army of the Shandong People’s Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army against the Japanese inspired the people of Shandong. The uprising troops in the province broke out more than ten armed uprisings. Subsequently, these armed forces were integrated into the "three armies" sequence, which injected new ideas into the Chinese Communist Party’s resistance to Japan. Blood. Hundreds of years have passed like a white horse, and these have all become the past, but these historical facts have made the party members who visited today have a deep understanding of the history of Jiaodong’s “big rear, large participation in the army, large branches, large adjustments”, and a deep understanding that the foundation of the party lies in the people. , The blood lies in the people, and the strength lies in the people.
Bearing in mind the great achievements of the revolutionary predecessors, inheriting and carrying forward the Tianfushan revolutionary spirit, which is still outdated in this era, let us be baptized in memory, relay exchanges in commemoration, learn from history, and jointly contribute to the realization of the great dream of national rejuvenation!
In the afternoon, I walked into Liugong Island. This was the birthplace of the Qing Beiyang Navy, the first navy in modern China, and the main battlefield of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War. The defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 caused a deep national crisis, which caused the people to set off the climax of the patriotic salvation movement. Wars and disasters sometimes stimulate the awakening of the nation and stimulate the national spirit. The awareness of crisis and national salvation has greatly enhanced the cohesion of the Chinese nation, and the historical tradition of "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" has been carried forward. In 1894, when the Sino-Japanese War of Jiawu broke out, Sun Yat-sen founded the revolutionary group Xingzhonghui in Honolulu and put forward the slogan "Revitalize China". Since then, the Chinese passionate sons and daughters have embarked on the road of saving the motherland from peril.
Facing the bright red party flag, all party members raised their right hands, fisted and solemnly swore, revisiting the oath of "fighting for communism for life".
This history of blood and tears, suffering, and humiliation always warns us that we will be beaten if we fall behind! Learn from history as a mirror to learn about the rise and fall, and remind us that only by remembering history can we grasp the present, face the future, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
Through the visit and study, all party members have a more in-depth understanding of the suffering of the Chinese nation, and thus firmly believe that only under the leadership of the Communist Party of China can a new China be established and the Chinese people can be led to the path of national strength and prosperity. As a party member, we should keep in mind this suffering and lesson, stand on our own duty, work hard, and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the prosperity of the motherland.

Federal Chancellery of Austria together with KulturKontakt Austria
The Artists in Residence programmes are funded by the Austrian Federal Chancellery; KKA provides advisory and organizational support.
promotion of cross-border cultural exchange and cooperation
contribution to the internationalisation of the Austrian art and culture scenes
financial, institutional
Each year, the Arts and Culture Division of the Austrian Federal Chancellery, in cooperation with the private association KulturKontakt Austria (KKA) offers 51 scholarships to international artists for residences in Austria. Since this programme’s reorganisation in 2013 (which amalgamated the previous separate programmes of KKA and the Austrian Federal Chancellery) the AIR programme has been open to artists from all over the world working in any of the following disciplines: visual arts, art photography, video and media art, arts and science, composition, literature, literature for children and young people, literary translation, and arts and cultural education. Lengths of stay vary between one and three months, according to the artistic discipline. Artists in residence are provided with accommodations, a working space/community studio, contributions to the costs of living expenses of EUR 800,- a month, a contribution for art supplies, accident and health insurance, and support for other necessary expenses (mobile internet access, cell phone, passes for public transport, etc.).
An important aspect is that this residency is accompanied by mentoring and networking activities. The objective is to familiarize the artists in residence with the Austrian art scene and cultural environment and to make contact with Austrian artists. To this end, the programme includes visits to galleries, studios and museums, contacts to the literature and publishing sector, and access to the musical life of Vienna or Salzburg. Whenever possible, the residents receive free tickets to art and book fairs, to performances at the Tanzquartier Wien, to the international ImPulsTanz dance festival, and to other events. It is also possible for artists to participate actively in the “Artists in Residence Go to School”-Programme of KKA (this includes workshops at Austrian schools). Furthermore, a presentation of works may be arranged towards the end of the residency.
Additionally, KKA maintains a publicly accessible database on all artists who have participated in the programme.
51 international artist residencies annually, enabling the participants to work in the Austrian environment, engage in an exchange of experience, and find new sources of inspiration
promotion of networking between the international scholarship winners and the Austrian arts scene
raising interest within Austria in the cultural and intellectual lives of other countries and stimulating discussion and exchange

Taffeta and velvet bustle dress ensemble, ca. 1880
Narrative by Jacqueline Field, textile and dress historian
Maine Historical Society’s Historic Dress Collection is an amalgamation of primarily donated garments accumulated by the Society since the organization’s founding in 1822. Initially specializing in clothing from the early to mid-nineteenth century, the collection was added to by an extensive acquisition of late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century dress acquired from Westbrook College in 1993, as well as more recent individual donations. As of 2020, the MHS collection consists of approximately 3,000 pieces.
With few exceptions, the garments and accessories are associated with people who lived in Maine (often commemorating an aspect of family history) or were in some way connected to the state. Provenance may stem from the original owner, a family member or descendant, written documentation, maker labels, place of origin; or be established by other means. Garments predominantly identify as adult female, with some children’s and male items, including military uniforms. In 2018, support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museums for America grant program facilitated item-level cataloguing, condition assessment, and rehousing of the garments in the collection, as well as dramatically enhancing access by photographing the garments and preparation of this online portal conveying an overview of the collection.
Where larger institutions tend to focus on luxurious high fashions, the MHS Historic Dress Collection, in common with most fellow regional organizations, is centered on dress worn by the modestly better off, the middling, and upper middle-class population. As is the case at MHS, such collections always contain a significant proportion of special occasion garments and little in the way of every day regular dress, which tends to be considered not worth saving by its wearers, and discarded. Plain ordinary dress and working clothes worn by the financially less well to do, scarcely survive. Well used, repaired, passed on or repurposed, historically they were often reduced to rags or discarded. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11556 | {"url": "http://historicclothing.mainememory.net/page/4738/display.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "historicclothing.mainememory.net", "date_download": "2023-03-31T09:48:54Z", "digest": "sha1:E5LF7T6THELKOQMZOFZ7I5WD3KIL3IKI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2272, 2272.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2272, 3027.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2272, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2272, 29.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2272, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2272, 235.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2272, 0.35980149]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2272, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2272, 0.00797448]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2272, 0.02445508]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2272, 0.00992556]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2272, 0.15384615]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2272, 0.62831858]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2272, 5.54867257]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2272, 4.96524123]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2272, 339.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 119, 0.0], [119, 170, 0.0], [170, 229, 0.0], [229, 741, 1.0], [741, 1575, 1.0], [1575, 2272, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 119, 0.0], [119, 170, 0.0], [170, 229, 0.0], [229, 741, 0.0], [741, 1575, 0.0], [1575, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 119, 17.0], [119, 170, 8.0], [170, 229, 8.0], [229, 741, 73.0], [741, 1575, 123.0], [1575, 2272, 110.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 119, 0.0], [119, 170, 0.08333333], [170, 229, 0.0], [229, 741, 0.03187251], [741, 1575, 0.00492611], [1575, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 119, 0.0], [119, 170, 0.0], [170, 229, 0.0], [229, 741, 0.0], [741, 1575, 0.0], [1575, 2272, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 119, 0.05882353], [119, 170, 0.01960784], [170, 229, 0.05084746], [229, 741, 0.02734375], [741, 1575, 0.01798561], [1575, 2272, 0.01865136]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2272, 0.57155836]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2272, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2272, 0.0494715]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2272, -66.51553174]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2272, 5.64352216]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2272, 23.42312926]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2272, 13.0]]} |

Bad Kissing Could Make You Loose a Girl
If you are a bad kisser, what a woman will never, ever say to you she was going to have s*x with you until just that moment. This is one of the ways in which men and women differ. If a man is very attracted to a woman but discovers she's a bad kisser and if he is presented with the opportunity, he'll probably have s*x with her anyway. A woman can't get past a bad kiss. After all, if he hasn't mastered kissing and fails to see its sensual possibilities, what hope is there for anything else?

‘Gamification’– Engaging The New Age Consumer
Written by Syed Shahfuddin bin Syed Zainal Abidin
Gamification is the process of adding game-like elements to something as to encourage partaking. In other words, gamification is about transforming something, which is hypothetically boring and uninteresting into a game for people to engage in.
Various professions use gamification to improve productivity or simply to increase active participation. Significant progress can be tracked and learning new stuff that has a steep learning curve can be made more fun when it is ‘gamified’. The engagement through apps and websites will help drive people’s participation, which develops long-lasting relationships for brands, encouraging people to meet personal challenges or even learn new tools or software.
In the context of advertising, gamification is a concept that has been adopted very effectively by well-known global brands such as Nike, Starbucks, McDonalds, Coke, Magnum, Samsung as well as countless others to build lasting relationships with their customers as well as serve as a means for continued communication. It also creates a somewhat addictive experience from the trill of achievement as well as the social gratification and a sense of accomplishment on the online/social media space.
Companies of all shapes and sizes have begun to use games to revolutionise the way they interact with customers and employees, becoming more competitive and more profitable as a result (Edery & Mollick, 2009). This means the future of personal communication for brands with their customers is now becoming a more participatory means of communication, going beyond the traditional, one way communication model.
Gamification can also be viewed as a means of self-expression and in today’s day and age where Generation Z is spending incredible amounts of time of social media platforms. Creating an environment whereby gamification becomes part of the metrics can add value to a brand’s image, especially since every brand wants to be on top of the mind of their intended target audience. Case and point would be the very recent explosion of Pokémon Go onto digital space, which very quickly became a global sensation, reiterating the fact that socially, gamification is changing the way we interact with people and the world around us.
In a nutshell, gamification is probably the start of a new beginning of possibilities in the way in which marketers and advertisers reach their intended audience. While the need for instant gratification is ever so evident in today’s fast paced digital world where a multiscreen presence has diluted our focus and attention span, gamification done creatively could serve as a means to help hold the attention span of target audiences of brands for perhaps a tad longer.

JewFem Blog: Spirituality
Responses to the responses on becoming a Reform rabbi
In the day (!!)since I announced that I am studying to become a Reform rabbi, responses have been overwhelming. I’ve been chatting with people around the world, each with their own story about connection, community, spirituality, and Judaism. The vast majority of those responses have been resoundingly supportive. And this is not only from Reform friends. Many of my Orthodox friends have been incredibly understanding and even sharing in the excitement. Despite all the predictable naysaying Orthodox gatekeepers who have been doing their thing (some you can see in the comments on my previous post, or on my FB page; I left them in because it is important to know what kind of discourse is out there, what we’re all up against), despite all that, I have been receiving an incredible amount of support, even from places where I thought the reaction would be harsher. I am so relieved about that. My biggest worry was that Orthodox feminist activists would see me as the one who jumped ship, and leave it at that. But for the most part, I’ve been getting a lot of love, and that makes me really happy. I see us all as fighting the same fights but from different corners. On the other hand, some Conservative, (Masorti) and Reconstructionist friends are a bit upset that I passed over their denominations. Especially stinging was the fact that I wrote that I felt Reform is the “only place” where women can be truly free. If there is one word that I regret in my original post, it is that word “only”. I would like to change that to say the “best”, or “one of the best”, instead of the “only”. I will not change the post now because that would be intellectually dishonest. But I do think that I was wrong to write it that way. I have some wonderful mentors and friends around the Jewish world. Professor Alice Shalvi, for example, who became Conservative after decades of work as an Orthodox feminist, is someone I consider an incredible role model. I think I came off too dismissive of the work of feminists in other denominations, and I’m very sorry about that. I would like to emphasize how much I consider feminist activists across denominations to be allies. This is where the work is. I’m not here to trounce on hard-working women trying to change the world. I want to work together. That is the vision. I’m sorry that I didn’t do a better job of emphasizing that in my original post.

A groovy combination of fevered emotion and laid-back cool...

he eternal mysteries of love and attraction, the curse and necessity of social institutions, the movement and music of life, and the perils of cross-dressing for straight people
All these themes are covered in Shakespeare's masterpiece comedy As You Like It. This classic comedy centers on the strange courtship of Rosalind and Orlando. After a brief chance meeting, Orlando flees the dangers of his brother's jealousy and Rosalind is suddenly banished from the court.
With her cousin Celia, Rosalind sets off for the Forest of Arden, where by chance she discovers the object of her affections, Orlando. There's small catch: she has disguised herself in their travels as a boyish young man.
With set design by Scott Aronow, lighting by Michael Berelson, costumes by Kate Scuffle, and original music and arrangements by Donna Heffernan and James Wacker, director Marshall Mays has set Kaleidoscope's production in a world inspired by the 1960s, where idealism, sexual ambiguity and experimentation, passion for the Earth, and freedom of self expression enjoy free reign.
If you see one and only one Shakespeare production in your whole life, come see Kaleidoscope's As You Like It! You will like it! (Our apologies for that last comment)

Linguistic heuristics
Posted on June 22, 2008 by karennjohnson
Searching. I’m currently testing a product that has a search feature. I’ve tested search functionality before but not a multilingual search engine that utilizes two different search engines based on the language selected. Nor have I previously worked with a search engine that uses stemming and stop words.
The herbs were used as treatments for the cardiovascular system long before the discovery of the blood-pressure-lowering drug, nitroglycerin, which was approved in the 1950’s to treat angina, heart attack, or coronary rest pain. A typical adult dosing of 75 mg/d should last for 4 to 8 weeks, while a child dosing of 75 mg/d should last Robāţ Karīm for 1 to 4 weeks. Levitra (bayer - levitra) belongs to a new class of dopamine antagonists designed to selectively antagonize the dopamine d2 receptors and thus decrease dopamine action in the central nervous system.
Fluconazole (tilmicos) is a member of the azole family of antimicrobial drugs with activity against a wide spectrum of fungi. The name of tamoxifen citrate 20mg tamoxifen citrate 20mg is a brand name of tamoxifen nolvadex for sale online citrate 20mg. It has also been found to be useful in the prevention of the effects of aging and as an aid in weight loss.
I almost didn’t want to write about this – figured I would wait until I resolved my challenges before writing about it – but it occurred to me why? It’s not as though in software testing I haven’t learned that first understanding the complexities of a problem is an essential starting point.
Some basic questions about testing search functionality.
How do I know a search result set is accurate?
How do I know if the search results should returned have more matches, less?
If I sort a search result set according to the displayed column headings and the data displayed meets the criteria specified, is that good enough? (My answer, no.)
Being a data geek, my past process has been to know the data set being tested. I’ve done this before – troll about the database, execute SQL queries, and become aware of some of the data well enough to confirm search results. I’ve coupled this tactic with building my own data. I create small sets of data meeting certain criteria, insert the data, and then execute searches. I specifically plant data for testing. Are there other ways to prove a search engine is working?
I’ve attacked the challenge in a couple of ways.
One step has been to learn about stemming. Stemming is a process of taking a word, reducing the word to its base form and using the base or the core word as the search criteria. For example, the words testing, tester, testy would be reduced to the core word: test.
I found the following article helpful – in part because it explains stemming and because it discusses Arabic stemming specifically and Arabic is one language I’m working with. See: http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/pubfiles/ir-249.pdf.
Another step has been learning about stop words. Stop words are words discarded by a search engine.
As for working with a multilingual search, one thing I’ve done is to head to the library. I thought it would be helpful to know a few basic words in different languages. So I dug into two sections in opposite spots of the library. My first stop was the travel section where I picked up travel books that featured common phrases – I especially like Barron’s travel books because the focus is for the business traveler and so the words listed are more in fitting with the content I’m working with. My next stop was at children’s section. I found a Cat in the Hat book in Polish, complete with a CD that’s been interesting to listen to – although not truly helpful with my challenge. I picked up a book that lists 12 core phrases in 12 different languages, a kids book designed as a multilingual introduction.
So far, I’ve found getting content in other languages has been more helpful than trying to write clever phrases on my own. I’ve been able to pull back search results and pick up words to use – in many cases, not knowing the word or the meaning but instead looking through results in foreign languages feels more like pattern matching. In fact, I’ve tried not to be distracted by the content or the language but instead to focus on matching entry criteria to results.
Another plan I have is to build a small set of words in different languages. What’s challenging is working with a language that I don’t know and that I don’t have a keyboard to create text in – such as Arabic.
I’m not done testing and I’m not done with the questions. So more to come …

The EB-5 category requires an investment of $1 million (or $500,000 in a high unemployment or rural area) in a commercial enterprise that will employ 10 full-time US workers. Although the investor's role cannot be completely passive, he or she does not have to be involved in any way in the day-to-day management of the business unless he or she wants to do so. It is critically important that the investor be able to document the lawful source of investment funds, whether his or her own or funds given to him or her as a gift. The permanent residence obtained by the investor is conditional for two years and can be made permanent upon satisfying USCIS at the end of the two years that the investment proceeds have not been withdrawn and the requisite jobs have been created. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11564 | {"url": "http://khanlawpllc.com/e5.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "khanlawpllc.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T09:00:14Z", "digest": "sha1:25Y33COJ7KLEAE4DIZLDGWATVTTU4RK7"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 777, 777.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 777, 1968.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 777, 1.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 777, 49.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 777, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 777, 99.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 777, 0.5125]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 777, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 777, 0.00961538]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 777, 0.0224359]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 777, 0.01875]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 777, 0.13125]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 777, 0.64492754]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 777, 4.52173913]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 777, 4.23566064]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 777, 138.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 777, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 777, 138.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 777, 0.0131406]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 777, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 777, 0.01673102]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 777, 0.6627481]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 777, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 777, 0.00753236]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 777, -8.7864636]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 777, 21.37192029]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 777, 1.72269781]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 777, 4.0]]} |

Good technology into the quality of China's valve enterprises to win the way
Experts require the valve industry should vigorously adopt international standards and advanced foreign standards, and strictly implement the existing national standards, the existing product reform.
From the China General Machinery Industry Association Valve Branch learned that China's annual valve market turnover of up to 50 billion yuan, but there are more than 100 billion yuan of the market by foreign valve business occupation. They believe that to change this situation, improve the quality of the valve is the key.
Valves in the mechanical products occupy a considerable proportion. According to foreign industrial developed countries statistics, the output value of the valve is the sum of the compressor, fan and pump, accounting for about 5% of the entire machinery industry output value. At the same time, as an important part of major technical equipment, especially in the power, petrochemical, metallurgical, urban water supply and drainage system, the valve is playing a key role, and the amount is very large.
At present, China's valve business of about 6,000, of which more than 500 million annual output value of 900. Domestic listed valve company 3, that is, nuclear technology, Hong City shares, Guangdong Pearl. Last year, China Nuclear Technology main business income of 235 million yuan, Hongcheng shares of the main business income of 146 million yuan, Guangdong Pearl main business income of 150 million yuan. These enterprises, whether it is its size, or product quality, are currently unable to compete with similar foreign companies.
Analysis of the industry, resulting in the current lack of China's valve market, there are two main reasons: First, domestic products and imported products than the gap, the quality to be improved; Second, some users of local awareness is not strong, and even artificially set the threshold , So that domestic enterprises in the bid with foreign companies is difficult to win.
Experts believe that China's current production of various types of valves are common leakage, internal leakage, the appearance of quality is not high, short life, the operation is not flexible and the valve electrical and pneumatic devices are not reliable and other shortcomings, some products only equivalent to the last The international level of the early eighties of the century. Therefore, the development of valve industry, the urgent need to develop new products with high technological content.
Experts require the valve industry should vigorously adopt international standards and advanced foreign standards, and strictly implement the existing national standards, the existing product reform, so that the updated products to the last century, the international level of the nineties. At the same time, the valve industry should deal with the casting and forging raw materials selection, casting process, forging process, heat treatment and other aspects to take effective measures to make casting and forging rough in the internal quality and appearance quality to international standards.
On the other hand, should continue to carry out internal and external leakage research, strict mechanical processing technology, and vigorously promote new sealing materials, improve the key parts of the product processing accuracy and extend product life, so that the valve "a short two leakage" phenomenon is fundamentally improved.
Founded in 1996 in Hunan Zhuzhou South Valve Co., Ltd., Hunan Province Science and Technology Department finds a non-public high-tech enterprises. The company mainly produces multi-function pump control valve, hydraulic control valve, soft seal gate valve, hard seal butterfly valve and other 15 series of a variety of specifications of the valve products, widely used in municipal water supply, sewage treatment, petrochemical, steel metallurgy and other industries for water supply and drainage Or fluid control system, the annual production capacity of 150 million.
When the company was founded, the starting capital of only 500,000 yuan, the annual output value of less than 800,000 yuan in 2004 the company has developed to the output value of 103.33 million yuan, tax 788 million. The secret of this company's success is because of its core manufacturing and core technology development capabilities, professional and high technical content. The company developed and developed a multi-functional water pump control valve with independent intellectual property rights to fill the domestic blank, the level of technology at the leading domestic level, with 12 patents, has 7 times provincial and ministerial level scientific and technological progress awards. The company also edited the diaphragm-type quick-opening mud valve and other three industry standards, the product into the nine national and industry standards, the valve industry in the production of hydraulic control valve series of the largest diameter, the highest nominal pressure of the enterprise.
Throughout the domestic valve market, the valve industry has a wide range of development space, according to experts predict that the future of the valve market in the power industry, petrochemical, fertilizer, environmental protection and urban construction and other industries. They assert that who has good technology, who has excellent quality, who can continue to develop new products, who will be able to compete in the market competition to seize the initiative, come to the fore. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11568 | {"url": "http://m.onerovalve.com/n1836679/Good-technology-into-the-quality-of-China's-valve-enterprises-to-win-the-way.htm", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "m.onerovalve.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:03:06Z", "digest": "sha1:FWJDFWBPMS576VKIKSGQWRJQILTBDRI3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 5515, 5515.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 5515, 32094.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 5515, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 5515, 38.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 5515, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 5515, 275.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 5515, 0.33265306]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 5515, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 5515, 0.07562102]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 5515, 0.09364696]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 5515, 0.07562102]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 5515, 0.07562102]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 5515, 0.07562102]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 5515, 0.07562102]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 5515, 0.01648714]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 5515, 0.01758628]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 5515, 0.01450868]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 5515, 0.15408163]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 5515, 0.40860215]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 5515, 5.4348865]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 5515, 5.09591554]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 5515, 837.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 77, 0.0], [77, 277, 1.0], [277, 602, 1.0], [602, 1106, 1.0], [1106, 1642, 1.0], [1642, 2019, 1.0], [2019, 2524, 1.0], [2524, 3121, 1.0], [3121, 3456, 1.0], [3456, 4025, 1.0], [4025, 5027, 1.0], [5027, 5515, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 77, 0.0], [77, 277, 0.0], [277, 602, 0.0], [602, 1106, 0.0], [1106, 1642, 0.0], [1642, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2524, 0.0], [2524, 3121, 0.0], [3121, 3456, 0.0], [3456, 4025, 0.0], [4025, 5027, 0.0], [5027, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 77, 13.0], [77, 277, 25.0], [277, 602, 54.0], [602, 1106, 79.0], [1106, 1642, 84.0], [1642, 2019, 61.0], [2019, 2524, 77.0], [2524, 3121, 86.0], [3121, 3456, 49.0], [3456, 4025, 83.0], [4025, 5027, 150.0], [5027, 5515, 76.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 77, 0.0], [77, 277, 0.0], [277, 602, 0.01567398], [602, 1106, 0.00204499], [1106, 1642, 0.03868472], [1642, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2524, 0.0], [2524, 3121, 0.0], [3121, 3456, 0.0], [3456, 4025, 0.01633394], [4025, 5027, 0.02755102], [5027, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 77, 0.0], [77, 277, 0.0], [277, 602, 0.0], [602, 1106, 0.0], [1106, 1642, 0.0], [1642, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2524, 0.0], [2524, 3121, 0.0], [3121, 3456, 0.0], [3456, 4025, 0.0], [4025, 5027, 0.0], [5027, 5515, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 77, 0.02597403], [77, 277, 0.005], [277, 602, 0.03076923], [602, 1106, 0.00595238], [1106, 1642, 0.02798507], [1642, 2019, 0.0132626], [2019, 2524, 0.00792079], [2524, 3121, 0.00335008], [3121, 3456, 0.00298507], [3456, 4025, 0.02460457], [4025, 5027, 0.00399202], [5027, 5515, 0.00409836]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 5515, 0.25552922]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 5515, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 5515, 0.15045959]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 5515, -89.91183455]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 5515, 81.571077]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 5515, 122.29398805]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 5515, 27.0]]} |

Climate Change Impacts on Marine Invasive Species, C. Nall
Chris Nall – The Environmental Research Institute, University of the Highlands and Islands, UK
pp. 100-115 | Article Number: 8
Published Online: March, 2018
This chapter presents evidence and predictions regarding the impacts of climate change on marine invasive species, with specific relevance to the seas of northern Europe. Invasive species have a drastic impact onmarine ecology and can be a nuisance to industries that operate in marine environments. In some cases they can also have a negative effect on human health, for instance when invasive algal blooms cause shellfish poisoning. Invasive species tend to be rapid colonisers that are tolerant of a wide range of environment conditions and this has allowed them to thrive in many locations throughout the world. Native species however tend to be less tolerant of environmental changes. It is predicted that the impact of invasive species will be exacerbated by climate change as it could promote the spread of invasive species and also increase their ability to out-compete native species. The components of climate change likely to have this effect include increased seawater temperature, increased frequency of extreme weather events, ocean acidification, and alterations to ocean circulation and salinity. There is already evidence to suggest increased seawater temperature over the last few decades has facilitated introductions of invasive species. Examples of the northward range expansion of invasive species in northern Europe that can be attributed to warming seas do exist. These include the introduction of Crassostreagigas (Pacific oyster) and Styelaclava (Leathery Sea Squirt) at more northerly locations in Europe than previously observed. Future increases to seawater temperature are likely to further promote the spread of invasive species and could cause native species to go extinct from various locations. Warm-water species previously unable to colonise habitats in northern Europe may be introduced via human-mediated pathways (such as shipping) or by natural dispersal from warmer locations in the south of Europe. So far only increased seawater temperature has been observed to have an effect on invasive species abundance and distribution. However, other changes associated with climate change are predicted to facilitate marine invasions in the future. A predicted increase in precipitation at northerly latitudes will result in a decrease in salinity in the enclosed Baltic Sea, and as a result of this, it is forecasted to enhance the abundance of euryhaline invasive species in the region. Ocean acidification is also predicted to favour some invasive species. Changes in human maritime activity in response to climate change could further impact marine invasions. This is of particular relevance to the Atlantic and Baltic region because new arctic shipping routes are opening up between the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean due to sea ice melt. This represents a huge opportunity for marine invasions from the Pacific because shipping is a major vector for non-native species introduction. The addition of coastal sea defences in order to adapt to increased risk of coastal flooding and erosion is also likely to enhance marine invasive species because they provide habitat for these species and can aid dispersal.

Key questions and concepts
What are invasive non-native species?
Why do we care about them?
Do they have environmental, economic or societal impacts?
How has climate change already influenced the spread and establishment of invasive non-native species?
In the future, will continued environmental changes caused by climate change further influence the impact of invasive non-native species?

In Some Places, Facebook Opens Message Service to the Facebookless
Facebook is hoping to grab more users by letting people in some countries sign up for its messaging service with just a phone number - no Facebook account required.
The company said on Tuesday that it would begin allowing owners of Android phones in India, Indonesia, Venezuela, Australia and South Africa to sign up for its Messenger app with their phone number. When Android users in those countries download the app, they will be presented with the option of logging in with a phone number or connecting with a Facebook account. After choosing the phone number option, users just have to enter their first and last name, and the phone sends a text message to Facebook for verification.
Later, the company will introduce the phone-number sign-up option to other countries, including the United States, Facebook said.
Peter Deng, a product director at Facebook who oversees the Messenger app, said in an intervi ew that the company's primary goal was to make it easier for people to sign up for its messaging service and start communicating. The Messenger app will not include ads, but an easier sign-up could eventually entice non-Facebook users to sign up for an account so they can use the messaging service elsewhere, like on Facebook.com or in the company's mobile apps, where ads do appear.
Mr. Deng said messaging was “ripe for innovation†because it had been held back by old technology created by phone carriers like AT&T and Verizon.
“It's limited to 160 characters, and it's not at all rich in its expression,†he said in an interview. “People want to connect deeply with each other, and they don't want to be constrained by various technical boundaries and decisions made 20 years ago.â€
Facebook's Messenger app, available for iPhones, Android smartphones and BlackBerrys, has generally been well received. In Apple's App Store, for instance, it has about 40, 000 five-star user reviews.
Mr. Deng declined to say how many Facebook messages were being sent daily, a sign that the number may not be worth bragging about yet. In the App Store, the Messenger app is currently No. 94 in Apple's list of most downloaded free apps. On the other hand, WhatsApp, a text-messaging app that costs $1, is ranked No. 2 in Apple's list of most downloaded paid apps. WhatsApp says its users send 10 billion messages a day.
For technology businesses, the texting market is a juicy target. Traditional text messaging, the kind where you pay to send messages over the phone network, is in decline in many parts of the world, because many people are switching to Internet-powered messaging services like Facebook, WhatsApp or Apple's iMessage.

Hanukkah Begins Today, Sunday, December 12 at Sundown

Hanukkah (also spelled “Chanukah”) is an eight-day Jewish festival which begins this evening at sundown. The festival commemorates events that took place in Judea more than 2,000 years ago, when the Syrian king Antiochus ordered the Jews to abandon the Torah and publicly worship the Greek gods. This act provoked a rebellion led by Judas Maccabeus, climaxed by the retaking of the Temple in Jerusalem, which had been desecrated by the Syrians. In an eight-day celebration, the Maccabees (as the rebels came to be known) cleansed and rededicated the Temple (Chanukah means “dedication”). According to the Talmud, there was only enough consecrated oil to relight the candelabra for one day, yet, miraculously, it remained lit for eight days. The central feature of the observance of Chanukah is the nightly lighting of the Chanukiah, an eight-branched candelabra with a place for a ninth candle, the shammes, used to light the others. One candle is lit on the first night of Chanukah, and an additional candle is lit on each successive night, until, on the eighth night, the Chanukiah is fully illuminated. Learn more about Hanukkah and see recipes!
Hanukkah (/ˈhɑːnəkə/; Hebrew: חֲנֻכָּה, Modern: Ḥanukka, Tiberian: Ḥănukkā listen) is a Jewish festival commemorating the recovery of Jerusalem and subsequent rededication of the Second Temple at the beginning of the Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE.
Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar. The festival is observed by lighting the candles of a candelabrum with nine branches, commonly called a menorah or hanukkiah. One branch is typically placed above or below the others and its candle is used to light the other eight candles. This unique candle is called the shammash (Hebrew: שַׁמָּשׁ, “attendant”). Each night, one additional candle is lit by the shammash until all eight candles are lit together on the final night of the festival. Other Hanukkah festivities include singing Hanukkah songs, playing the game of dreidel and eating oil-based foods, such as latkes and sufganiyot, and dairy foods. Since the 1970s, the worldwide Chabad Hasidic movement has initiated public menorah lightings in open public places in many countries.
Originally instituted as a feast “in the manner of Sukkot (Booths)”, it does not come with the corresponding obligations, and is therefore a relatively minor holiday in strictly religious terms. Nevertheless, Hanukkah has attained major cultural significance in North America and elsewhere, especially among secular Jews, due to often occurring around the same time as Christmas during the holiday season.

On this date in 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman to receive an M.D. degree. Elizabeth Blackwell By Unknown photographer – National Library of Medicine, Public Domain, https commons.wikimedia.org
Elizabeth Blackwell (3 February 1821 – 31 May 1910) was a British physician, notable as the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States, and the first woman on the Medical Register of the General Medical Council for the United Kingdom. Blackwell played an important role in both the United States and the United Kingdom as a social awareness and moral reformer, and pioneered in promoting education for women in medicine. Her contributions remain celebrated with the Elizabeth Blackwell Medal, awarded annually to a woman who has made a significant contribution to the promotion of women in medicine.
Blackwell was initially uninterested in a career in medicine, especially after her schoolteacher brought in a bull’s eye to use as a teaching tool for studying the anatomy enabling vision. Therefore, she became a schoolteacher in order to support her family. This occupation was seen as suitable for women during the 1800s; however, she soon found it unsuitable for her. Blackwell’s interest in medicine was sparked after a friend fell ill and remarked that, had a female doctor cared for her, she might not have suffered so much. Blackwell began applying to medical schools and immediately began to endure the prejudice against her sex that would persist throughout her career. She was rejected from each medical school she applied to, except Geneva Medical College, in which the male students voted for Blackwell’s acceptance. Thus, in 1847, Blackwell became the first woman to attend medical school in the United States.
Blackwell’s inaugural thesis on typhoid fever, published in 1849 in the Buffalo Medical Journal and Monthly Review, shortly after she graduated, was the first medical article published by a female student from the United States. It portrayed a strong sense of empathy and sensitivity to human suffering, as well as strong advocacy for economic and social justice. This perspective was deemed by the medical community as feminine.
Blackwell also founded the New York Infirmary for Women and Children with her sister Emily Blackwell in 1857, and began giving lectures to female audiences on the importance of educating girls. She also played a significant role during the American Civil War by organizing nurses.

The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
by Jon Scieszka, illustrated by Lane Smith
Reviewed by Mike Walsh
Published in the Philadelphia Welcomat in 1990
Some people think that you can’t tell kids the truth, that you have to give them cute little fantasies until they’re old enough to know better. But that attitude underestimates their intelligence. Kids know that stories about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the tooth fairy, and pro wrestling are shams, but they play along with the charade. Why? To work us stupid adults for all the gifts we’re worth. So this Christmas skip the fantasies and give the cunning little schemers the cold, hard facts, and you can start with The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, by writer Jon Scieszka and illustrator Lane Smith.
You see, the story of the three little pigs has always been based on testimony from the third pig, the one with the brick house. And since his two brothers were killed during the tragic events told in the story, his can hardly be considered an objective perspective. (Didn’t Orwell tell us all we needed to know about the morals of those fat, stinky creatures?) To set the record straight, Scieszka and Smith went to the source, the wolf, and they got his story, the true story, “wolf’s honor.”
His name is Alexander “You can call me Al” Wolf. He’s a refined, polite carnivore in a cardigan, wire-frames, and bow tie, hardly the type to go around terrorizing unsuspecting, home-owning pigs.
Before he gets started, however, he bemoans the “whole Big Bad Wolf thing.” He points out that his species has been burdened with the task of eating cute little creatures like bunnies, sheep, and what not, which has unfairly besmirched their reputation. “If cheeseburgers were cute,” explains Al, “folks would probably think you were Big and Bad too.”
So one day Mr. Al Wolf, who had a terrible head cold, was making a cake for his granny. He ran out of sugar, so he trudged off to a neighbor’s house to borrow some. This neighbor, a member of the swine family, had a house made of straw. Real smart, huh? Well, Mr. Wolf’s nose cold started acting up, and he “sneezed a great sneeze.” The house came tumbling down, and the resident died. An simple accident. They happen every day.
Like a good trooper, Al tried to make the best of the situation. “It seemed like a shame to leave a perfectly good ham dinner lying there in the straw,” he explains. “So I ate it up.” A rational decision and hardly just cause for being treated so viciously by adult storytellers all these years.
Anyway, Al still didn’t have his cup of sugar, so he went to the next neighbor, who also happened to be a pig. This second pig might not have been as dumb as the first (his house being made of wood), but he certainly was ruder to our ailing friend. You can probably guess what happened next. Let’s just say that Mr. Wolf had a very powerful sneeze. While looking back on this second tragedy, Al reminds us that “food will spoil if you just leave it out in the open.” Damn straight, and the sooner kids learn that lesson, the better.
The poor guy was getting awfully full by the time he made it to the third pig’s house, the one made of brick. Believe it or not, this pig had plenty of sugar but he wouldn’t share any. To make matters worse, this nasty porker shouted, “And your old granny can sit on a pin!” Mr. Wolf understandably took exception to these comments.
“When the cops drove up," explains our flu-ridden friend, “I was trying to break down this Pig’s door. And the whole time I was huffing and puffing and sneezing and making a real scene.”
As you might expect, the cops found out about the other two deceased pigs (although an investigation turned up nary a trace of either), and the story was exaggerated to absurd lengths by the press. Al faced a laundry list of trumped-up charges, and he was summarily convicted and packed-off to the big house, where he still can’t get a cup of sugar. (Life sucks, don’t it?)
This is investigative journalism at its finest, folks, and the kids of America deserve to know the truth of this sad tale. Sure, it’s is a bitter pill to swallow, but believe me, those savvy little extortionists can handle it.
P.S. Sales figures for “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs” bear me out on this point. It has sold over 500,000 copies.

In the late 1990s the city manager asked a group of employees to identify ways to facilitate communication, encourage employee ideas and build trust in the organization (both internally and with the community).
Over a period of several months the employee group identified five areas on which to focus:
Getting to know others within the City
Treating coworkers with respect and courtesy
Having a voice in the decision-making process
Considering the organization's public image
Promoting personal and organizational responsibility and accountability
From these five areas came the Mountlake Terrace's Core Values. The Core Values serve as a list of what is expected in employees' interactions with each other and the public, and are used for everything from employee recognition programs to performance evaluations.

Almost 60% of people in Ireland believe that delays in tackling insurance reform are making it more difficult for young people to get on the road, a new survey has found.
In response to a survey of over 7,000 people undertaken by AA Car Insurance, almost 6 in 10 respondents (57.92%) stated they strongly believe that learner drivers today face greater financial challenges when trying to get on the road than previous generations. Meanwhile, a further 24.67% were somewhat in agreement with the claim that those learning today face greater financial challenges than learner drivers in the past.
“High insurance costs are by no means restricted to any single group of motorists, but it is certainly the case that many young drivers are facing extremely high costs when they first try to get on the road. While driving has always been front-loaded in terms of the associated insurance expenses, in the sense that your insurance is often highest when you’re first learning before dropping off over time, it’s clear that more progress on addressing the issues which contribute to high prices must be made in the new Dáil term,” Conor Faughnan, AA Director of Consumer Affairs stated. “Younger people are also among those most likely to work in sectors which have been heavily affected by the COVID outbreak, such as tourism, hospitality and our pubs meaning they are likely to have suffered a significant change in financial circumstances in recent months.”
“For those in more rural areas having a car may be vital to helping them find part-time or full-time work, but due to temporary or permanent loss of a job due to COVID they may now find themselves in a situation when they both can’t afford the financial implications of keeping their car on the road while also not being able to take their car off the road as doing so could affect their ability to find new work.”
The survey also found that a majority of motorists believed that learning to drive currently is more dangerous than it was in previous years. Of those surveyed by the AA, 28.26% strongly agreed that they believe it to be more dangerous to learn to drive currently than it was in previous years. Meanwhile, a further 26.43% of respondents somewhat agreed that this was the case.
“There may be a sense of looking back through rose-tinted glasses to this belief, as the introduction of mandatory lessons and the n-plate system were both designed to help learning and newly qualified drivers remain safe on the roads,” Faughnan added. “However, for those who may be resuming their lessons now after pausing them during the lockdown or those who are just starting, the post-COVID world is very different to the one in which their friends, parents or siblings may have learned to drive. We have seen significant increases in the number of pedestrians and cyclists across the country in recent months, so young drivers must be on the lookout for these more vulnerable road users and play their role in keeping our roads safe.”

Buccaneer's Den
New Magincia
Hythloth
You've proven yourself to Raven by accomplishing something only the true Avatar could do. With this trust established between the two of you, she takes you to meet her employer, Samhayne, in the pirates' cove of Buccaneer's Den.
Denotes Required Actions
Denotes Optional Actions
Map of Buccaneer's Den - Numbers in parentheses refer to numbers on Map
When you've docked at Buc's Den, you'll be confronted by two pirates who demand your gold. There's really no way to avoid fighting them unless you give them some gold (about 50). Killing them does nothing bad to your Karma, and giving them some gold does nothing positive either, so unless you feel like being a nice person, you can easily dispatch these two. Hopefully you've gotten the Flaming Sword by now. Either that or the War Hammer from the Goblin Leader are good weapons for the next few areas. See the Compassion: Britain section for how to get the Flaming Sword. If you don't have it, I recommend loading an older game and getting it.
This quest only works if you do it BEFORE you go talk to Samhayne (Raven's Boss) for the first time. After leaving the two pirates on the docks, follow the docks around and turn right. Follow the flight's of wooden stairs until you're on the North shore end of Buc's Den. You can come back to these shops later. Follow the path until you come to a women auctioning off a girl (2). Speak with the girl (just tell the auctioneer you'll bid on her when she interrupts you) and you'll learn she was kidnapped and proof that she's not a slave is hidden somewhere on the island. There are three ways to free the girl: 1) Just outright attacking and killing the slave trader (not recommended). 2) Buying the girl (not recommended either). 3) Finding the proof she spoke of. In the large ship docked at the end of the northern shore, you'll find a chest in the ship's cabin. Katie's note is in this chest. Take it with you when you go to Samhayne and you can request that he free the young girl. Once you've done this, return to the girl and she will thank you.
The two shops on the northern shore are a Supply Store (3) and a Cartographer (4). Herzog is the Supply Store owner. He's full of information and has some useful items. You'll be able to find the Create Reagents scroll in the next area, so don't bother buying it. He'll buy any jewelry you find on Buc's Den if you're looking to empty your bag and get some money. If you click on the animal skull on his wall, a door opens in the storage area below his shop. There's a chest in here with a Chain Coif, Chain Leggings, a Cutlass and some more jewelry you can sell. Keagan the Cartographer has some treasure maps for sale that show the locations of some treasures buried in the Buc's Den Area. He sells different ones at different times, and you have to buy them, go adventure for a while, then come back later to get the next one. I'll talk more about these treasure locations later. If you click on the ships wheel behind Keagan, you'll lower a staircase to a small area in the roof. This is just his bedroom. There is a necklace in his chest you can take and sell and you can use his bed to sleep.
Along the beach path on the northern shore, you'll find a Buc's Den Map laying around.
Farther along the northern beach path, you'll come across a large man yelling at a smaller one. Talk to the burly man, and demand that he release the smaller man. When you defeat him, you'll learn he wasn't even a pirate in the first place. He tells you about how the pirates captured their ship and are supposedly holding the captain for ransom in a cave. I believe he may be referencing the cave where you find the Emerald Lighthouse Gem. More on its location later. You can take the pirate's spiked club if you want it.
There is a man standing behind a crate that will remind you of a bad infomercial. He claims to be selling some amazing item and will only charge you half your current gold! If you give into this one of a kind deal, you get a fancy little "Ginwoo" knife. You can't equip it, and I have no idea if it serves some purpose later in the game. Any more info on it, please ICQ me.
There is a Talking Bird flying around the northern docks that may start talking to you when you're walking around the area. He claims the pirates are hoarding Serpentwyne! He started talking to me when I picked up Katie's letter the one time. Don't know if that's the only trigger for the bird or not.
There is a path at the end of the northern shore that leads up into the forested hills. There is some good treasure up in this area, but it's also infested with pirates who will attack you on sight.
Along one stone wall there is an overgrowth of plants that seems somewhat out of place. Following this path will lead to where the Silver Serpent (5) has been taken. I HIGHLY recommend waiting on doing this quest until a later time. It's not that it's hard. It's just that if you do this quest now, a very useful vendor (whom you haven't met yet) will no longer sell to you. Therefore, I will not discuss it here and move onto the other hidden treasure.
Kegean's Treasure #1 (6): Up near the Northwest corner of the northern shore, you can look across and see a boarded up hole in the middle of a large rock outcropping. It seems impossible to get to, but it is possible to get to at this point in the game. Near this area is a cannon on another rocky outcropping that seems just as hard to get to. To get up to this cannon, go around to the south to where it looks like you can walk up the rocks to the small bunch of trees (see pictures. this is hard to explain). Walk up as far as you can, then step to the left a little bit so you can jump around the plants growing at the top. Jump down to where the cannon is sitting. If you mess up, you'll just slide down to the shore. Just walk back up and try again. Click on the cannon once to fire it, and it will swing to face the boarded up hole you saw before. Click it again to fire and break the boards. Make your way down to the water below the now open hole and swim out and climb up onto the small, rocky platform below the hole (this is trickier than it looks, but it is possible. Try doing it from the west side of the rock). Now carefully aim a jump up to the hole. You can now claim the Gauntlets of Fury (and some gold) at a very early point in the game! Swim back around to the shore to the Southwest to get out of the small cove.
Now it's time to head to the Southern Shore. Here you'll find Samhayne, the Pub, a Wrestling Ring, the Lighthouse, and the means to get to the next area. Just jump onto the little boat at the south end of the center docks and it'll take you across. If it's ever not at the end you need it to be, just turn the wheel and it will come.
To the left as you step foot on the southern shore from the small boat, there is a Wrestling Arena (7). Here you can pay and learn some new hand-to-hand combat moves. They're worth it, so learn as many as you can with your current dexterity. You earn some money back with each fight, too. When you're done with a round and can't learn anymore, just leave the ring and speak with the guy in charge to get your stuff back. This is the only place to learn Hand-to-Hand combat.
Speak with the people in the Pub (8) to learn more about New Magincia and the storms at sea. If you ask for a drink and choose "The Special" you'll learn that they're selling Serpent's Venom. That means the Silver Serpent must be hidden around Buc's Den somewhere! More on this at a later point in the game. There appears to be several planks behind the Pub that you can jump up if you try really hard. All this lets you do is get on the Pub's roof. There's nothing up there that I found, though.
In the Pub, go upstairs and out the door to get on the other side of the pub. There's a lift here that takes you up to the hills of the southern shore.
Before you go up the lift, there's a small shack to the West. If you drink some Serpent Venom (available at the Pub) before accepting the woman's offer, you'll wake up to a... um... nice surprise... This woman is the one the drunk in the Pub sings about (Jade).
Enter Samhayne's House (9) and speak with him. If you have Katie's Letter, mention this to him first, and he says he'll deal with it himself. He makes a proposition for you: He's tired of waiting for someone to deal with the column affecting the seas, so if you can solve the problem of the whirlpools first, he'll give you the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. How he managed to get his hands on this powerful tome is a mystery, but you make the deal and go on your way. He tells you that someone in New Magincia may have more information about the columns. Search Samhayne's house for some useful items. In hit closet, you'll find a Chain Chest piece, and a Chain Coif. If you click on the Iron Maiden bookend in the other small room, a ladder will lower out in the lobby area of his house. Up there you will find some Chain Arms, Chain Boots, and more jewelry to sell. If you got the Wrymguard Arms from Despise, they are actually a bit better than the Chain ones, so keep them instead. Now it's time to find a way to New Magincia.
Keagan's Treasure #2: If you continue going South after leaving the upper lift platform, and follow the path around and up, you'll come to a Sewer Hole (10). Make sure you have full health, and drop down and kill off the Giant Rats. Follow the drain until you come to a Valve. Turn it and a door to the East will open. Enter the new area open the chest which sets off a homing fireball trap. This is why I said to have full health, as this can hurt you pretty bad. In here you'll find the Chain Gauntlets, a Crystal Barrier Scroll, an amethyst gem, and a yellow potion. The only way out is the drainage outlet. Go out and slide down the cliff to the shore.
Go to the East along the shore and you'll come to a large cave. In it you'll find some gold, a bottle of Serpentwyne, and the Emerald Lighthouse Gem (11). It needs to be polished, so keep it with you until you can get back to Britain City.
Keep walking East and you'll come around to the Lighthouse (12).
There's a ghost wandering around this area. Speak with him and he'll ask you for some Rum. If you don't have any, go back to the Pub and buy some. Return with the Rum and he'll tell you where is ship sank. It's back on the northern shore side. If you jump off the northern shore docks, swim out to near the end of the large ship docked there, and look down, you can see a Sunken Ship (14). It's VERY challenging to get to without a blue potion or the Aqua Breath spell (which you won't have at this point). It's right on the edge where the treacherous waters begin and you rapidly start to loose breath. It can be down without either, but all you get for your troubles is 100gp.
Enter the cave (13) with the stone statues by the Lighthouse. You'll come to a point where a voice asks for the password. The password can be found on a scroll in the house next to the Slave Trader. It's is KEELHAUL. Type in the password, and a passageway opens up. If you go through without speaking the password, you just go in a circle. Keep a weapon drawn, as you'll have to break a lot of cobwebs, and beware the spike traps. The War Hammer is good because it destroys the cobwebs here in one hit, along with the Giant Rats. There is a fancy chest along the way that is locked. The key is in the crate next to it. Just break the crate to get it. The chest contains some gold. Exit the cave and the Guardian will laugh at you once again. You're now in New Magincia... | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11579 | {"url": "http://pdragon.net/u9/u9part31.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "pdragon.net",

iHeartMedia Initiated a Round of Layoffs
January 19, 2020 Podcast NewsiHeartMediaJen Thorpe
Recently, iHeartMedia announced a new organizational structure that created a series of Market Groups. Those groups included the Regional Division, the Metro Division, the Community Division, and a Multi-Media Partnerships Division. Not long after that announcement, a series of layoffs occurred.
Rolling Stone has details about the layoffs, which it reported were “concentrated in small and medium markets, where staffs had already been reduced, striking another major blow to local radio.” Rolling Stone also wrote:
iHeartMedia, which controls more than 800 radio stations and paid its CEO more than $14 million in 2017, declined to comment on the specific number of layoffs. In a statement that echoed its email to employees, the company noted that “during a transition like this, it’s reasonable to expect that there will be some shifts in jobs – some by location and some by function – but the number is relatively small given our overall employee base of 12,500.” “That said,” the statement continued, “we recognize that the loss of any job is significant; we take that responsibility seriously and have been thoughtful in the process.”
If you want to get a look at how widespread the layoffs are, type “iHeartMedia layoffs” into the search engine of your choice. There are dozens of articles from local news sites reporting the names and (former) positions of people who have worked in radio for a very long time – and who are now unemployed.

Quality Real Estate Investment Tips
Methods to Selling A Home – Which Works Best
You don’t have to experience the less than favorable experiences that you hear from friends and family nor those stories you’ve read across the internet. However, like anything it’s important to choose wisely. Do your homework. Know what the home selling process entails and who is best equipped to get the job done.
What are the methods for selling a home?
This method may have crossed your mind. Are you equipped to sell a home? As a Real Estate Agent, I can’t understand why anyone would want to tackle the selling of their own home, particularly when they probably have never done it before. Is it that you think you’re a quick study and have a gift of learning new things at a remarkable speed? Hmmm. Perhaps. Yet how many people could we actually clump into such a gifted category? Not many.
So if you’re not a quick study how will you learn the process of selling a home along with all the nuts & bolts of a Buyer’s offer to buy your home? Are Buyers qualified to buy a home? Do you know what legal contracts to use and how to complete them? Do you know how to prepare your home for sale? Do you know what Buyers like to see in a home? Do you know how to price your home? Did you know it’s not simply based on a square foot calculation adding in all the money you paid for upgrades? It’s not, you wonder! How about marketing your home to the 90%+ Buyers who are searching online to find a home to buy? How will you reach them? Do you have a top rated online presence in your local Real Estate market? You don’t? My point might be starting to sink in now as these are just a few of the issues involved in selling a home.
Perhaps you thought you’d love to save the standard Real Estate commission and sell your home yourself. 47% of those that try it alone do it for this reason, according to the National Association of Realtors reporting. However, studies have shown that utilizing the services of a skilled, professional Real Estate Agent to sell a typical home will allow a Seller to sell their home for more money. More money, isn’t that music to any Seller’s ears?! After all, more times than not, don’t you pay for what you get?! A Real Estate Agent’s skill can often be worth their weight in gold.
The number of homeowners who have tried to sell a home on their own has dropped to less than 10% compared to decades ago where the numbers were greater. More and more realize the complexity behind getting a home sold and prefer to leave it to those well qualified to sell homes.
Use Your Cousin Who Just Got His License
“Can’t you help Jimmy get started in his Real Estate career. He’s really nice, I’m sure you’ll like him”. That’s probably true, if they said he’s nice, yet nice doesn’t get you top dollar, a fast sale and the fewest number of headaches. Do you really want to be a testing ground to let Jimmy embark on his new Real Estate career? Someone so green will not ensure your home sale’s success. Securing a Real Estate license does not make someone instantly skilled at selling homes. You have no idea what kind of training they may have received up to this point. How hands on was their Broker in getting them up to speed? Maybe your Aunt could give Jimmy a shot when she wants to sell her home.
Find a Real Estate Agent by Searching Online
Now that we’re living in the age of the internet and social media, you’ll find that we resort to finding answers to our questions and needs by accessing the internet to search for what it is we need. With that comes fierce competition. Real Estate Agents have discovered that to be found, their brand and story has to be blasted across the internet. They are competing with other local Agents within their market, along with the big box Real Estate sites like Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com and more. This allows you, the home Seller, to be able to search online for local Real Estate experts in your area. Your city’s Real Estate Agent or REALTORⓇ search will discover who is at the top of their home selling craft getting noticed for what it is they do, sell homes. If you notice them, imagine how your home for sale will be noticed when Buyers are searching for homes to buy in your city.
More and more Real Estate Agents are sharing their expertise in the Real Estate content that they write; what better way to discover their skill sets; do they really know how to sell homes? You’ll also find reported customer experiences on just how their Agent succeeded at selling their homes. Perfect. You can learn so much towards making the right choice in the right Agent to sell your home. We buy houses in Richmond Va.
A Real Estate Agent’s online presence is also a good indication of how your home will be marketed for sale in order to reach prospective home Buyers. You want an Agent who is proficient in navigating social media letting the world know that they sell homes for a living and love doing it!
Accept Your Neighbor/Family Member/Friend/Co-Worker’s Advice Recommending a Real Estate Agent.
Search for Coral Springs Realtor
A great way to find help to get your home listed and sold. You’ll want to make sure that reasons are provided as to why they’re recommending a particular Real Estate Agent. It would also be a good idea to add #3 to the mix where you search online for the recommended Real Estate Agent’s name so you can discover how they market themselves over the internet. You’ll want to review their Real Estate content that should demonstrate their knowledge within their local market and see if you can locate other satisfied customers.
You could also consider an out of town friend or family member that you know who is a Real Estate Agent themselves who’d be able to find a qualified Real Estate Agent within your local market if you don’t have anyone local finding an Agent for you. I’ve helped a number of out of town friends track down an Agent in their area to help them. I have a broad network of Real Estate associates that I can reach out to find someone to help. I myself have received a great number of customer referrals this way too. It’s a great way in which someone else you know and trust and can help you with a bit of the leg work to locate a nearby, qualified Real Estate Agent.

Keeping a safe workplace is vital to protecting your employees, your customers
Keeping a safe workplace is vital to protecting your employees, your customers, and your business. It is important to follow the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) rules and regulations.
In addition, you will also want to establish a culture of safety in the workplace. This involves fostering a positive environment, providing up-to-date policies, and encouraging employee engagement. You can start by identifying and addressing employee concerns. You can also implement a safety all-stars program that recognizes individuals in your company who make outstanding efforts to prevent injuries and keep your workplace safe.
In addition to preventing injury, a safe workplace helps promote employee wellness. By creating a safe workplace, you will be able to reduce costs associated with worker’s compensation, and shorten the time it takes for your employees to heal from an accident. Additionally, a safe workplace also improves job satisfaction. You will also enjoy fewer accidents and absenteeism, resulting in lower expenses.
You will also want to encourage employees to use proper safety equipment. This can include fire-retardant workwear, breathing masks, and reflective gear. You will also need to ensure that your workers have access to first aid kits and know where they are located.
You should also consider incorporating digital signage into the workplace to increase awareness about the proper handling of hazardous materials, machine guarding, and lock-out tag-out procedures. You can even provide employees with personalized news feeds to keep them informed about safety issues.
You should also review your policies and procedures regularly. Your company should have an up-to-date handbook that outlines the safety guidelines for your employees. You may also need to develop new procedures based on current hazard assessments. You should also offer refresher courses to current and new employees.
You should also make sure that you have designated health and safety representatives in your company. These individuals are your trusted intermediaries between managers and employees. They are responsible for reporting workplace accidents and incidents to management. They will also be able to assist you in investigating the incident.
If you do not have designated health and safety representatives in your company, you should create one. This committee should meet at least once a month to update the company on workplace safety and illness statistics. You should also inform all of your employees about the committee and the https://www.northstreamsafety.ca/services/rapid-covid-19-testing/ meeting. You should let them know that they can ask questions or provide feedback.
You should also be sure that you are following state and federal laws. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a federal agency, monitors workplace safety and enforces the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. In addition, your company should be compliant with local occupational safety authorities.
You should also implement an incentive program. This could be a rewards system, such as a company-wide reward or department-based rewards. You can award employees for reaching a certain number of workplace safety goals, or you can provide physical rewards, such as gift cards, time off, or money.

Recourse Versus Non-Recourse Loans: A Guide For Buyers Of Apartment Buildings
Buying an apartment building is no minor endeavor. One of the most important aspects of the process is going to be securing financing for the purchase. This is a more complex and involved process than seeking a mortgage for a single-family home, since the amount you'll be borrowing is generally much greater. One of the important decisions you'll need to make at the forefront is whether to seek a recourse or a non-recourse loan. Here's a look at both options.
What's a recourse loan?
The difference between the two types of loans lies in what the lender is able to seize if you do not make your mortgage payments on the apartment building. With a recourse loan, the lender is able to seize your personal assets. They can come after your bank accounts, garnish your wages, and seize other valuable property you may own.
What's a non-recourse loan?
With a non-recourse loan, the lender is essentially out of luck if you stop paying on the mortgage. They can seize the apartment building, but if they are owned more than that, they cannot collect it from you. Your other assets and accounts are not touchable.
Which loan option is better?
At first glance, it seems like a no-recourse loan would always be the best option. After all, you won't want the lender to seize your other assets if you end up in financial trouble and are unable to pay on the loan. However, non-recourse loans are typically only offered to those who are buying properties worth several million. If you're buying a smaller, lower-cost apartment building, you will struggle to find a non-recourse loan—and probably won't find one at all.
Even if you are buying a very valuable property and can find lenders who are willing to offer you non-recourse loans, this is not always the best choice. Interest rates are typically much higher for non-recourse loans, so if you're fairly confident you're not at risk of falling behind on the mortgage, you can save yourself a lot of money by choosing a recourse loan. Then again, if you have a lot of expensive business ventures, choosing a non-recourse loan is a way to protect them should you run into trouble with one particular apartment building.
To learn more about these two types of loans and which is best for your situation, speak with a real estate agent or financial advisor in your area. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11584 | {"url": "http://realestatemarketingmastery.com/2016/12/28/recourse-versus-non-recourse-loans-a-guide-for-buyers-of-apartment-buildings/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "realestatemarketingmastery.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:01:00Z", "digest": "sha1:5YVO7P2RKJ4LVSHEW25XBQCHK3ITZSGT"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2389, 2389.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2389, 3574.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2389, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2389, 28.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2389, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2389, 172.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2389, 0.48303393]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2389, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2389, 0.02300052]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2389, 0.02300052]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2389, 0.04443283]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2389, 0.03345531]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2389, 0.01672765]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2389, 0.00199601]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2389, 0.12774451]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2389, 0.4589372]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2389, 4.62077295]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2389, 4.78758959]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2389, 414.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 541, 1.0], [541, 565, 1.0], [565, 900, 1.0], [900, 928, 1.0], [928, 1188, 1.0], [1188, 1217, 1.0], [1217, 1688, 1.0], [1688, 2241, 1.0], [2241, 2389, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 541, 0.0], [541, 565, 0.0], [565, 900, 0.0], [900, 928, 0.0], [928, 1188, 0.0], [1188, 1217, 0.0], [1217, 1688, 0.0], [1688, 2241, 0.0], [2241, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 78, 11.0], [78, 541, 80.0], [541, 565, 4.0], [565, 900, 60.0], [900, 928, 4.0], [928, 1188, 46.0], [1188, 1217, 5.0], [1217, 1688, 80.0], [1688, 2241, 96.0], [2241, 2389, 28.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 541, 0.0], [541, 565, 0.0], [565, 900, 0.0], [900, 928, 0.0], [928, 1188, 0.0], [1188, 1217, 0.0], [1217, 1688, 0.0], [1688, 2241, 0.0], [2241, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 541, 0.0], [541, 565, 0.0], [565, 900, 0.0], [900, 928, 0.0], [928, 1188, 0.0], [1188, 1217, 0.0], [1217, 1688, 0.0], [1688, 2241, 0.0], [2241, 2389, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 78, 0.15384615], [78, 541, 0.01079914], [541, 565, 0.04166667], [565, 900, 0.00895522], [900, 928, 0.03571429], [928, 1188, 0.01153846], [1188, 1217, 0.03448276], [1217, 1688, 0.00849257], [1688, 2241, 0.00542495], [2241, 2389, 0.00675676]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2389, 0.46527624]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2389, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2389, 0.01180887]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2389, -92.9863865]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2389, 4.981061]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2389, -183.6512551]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2389, 22.0]]} |
I keep my home comfortable for my pets while I’m at work
Furry friends can supply a lot of therapy, so I had better clarify that I am talking about pets.
I am really thankful for our more than one pets and our cat, as they supply suppliers and stress relief after a long day at work.
I don’t consider myself to be the kind of woman that obsesses over them, but there are few ways that I utterly spoil them because I care about them so much, but for example, we’re not for our pets. I would be the only woman living in our home, save for the occasional guest, but this means that if I absolutely wanted to, I could save money on utility bills by setting the control equipment to a more energy-efficient level when I am not at a beach house to love the temperature anyway. However the two of us experienced pretty drastic hot and cold temperatures where I live, but as a result, I just can’t justify leaving our pets in uncomfortable conditions. I only adjust the control equipment slightly, because I noticed that in the winter, the numerous of them will curl up together on the couch if I set the temperature too low. For a while, I figured that I could get away with setting the temperature higher in the summer. Then, I noticed that their water bowls had been drained by the time I got to the beach house from work, which was not happening before. As a result, I have decided to allow our pets to love the comforts of climate control when I am not present. It’s the very least I can do to reward them for all the care about and affection that they deliver me! | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11585 | {"url": "http://rheemairconditionerunit.com/2022/08/i-keep-my-home-comfortable-for-my-pets-while-im-at-work/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "rheemairconditionerunit.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:21:16Z", "digest": "sha1:B7HCKQV4COYPO7DODW6L2CZS3Y4V5TIT"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1561, 1561.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1561, 1966.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1561, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1561, 20.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1561, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1561, 267.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1561, 0.50595238]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1561, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1561, 0.00970089]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1561, 0.03071948]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1561, 0.01616815]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1561, 0.07142857]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1561, 0.0952381]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1561, 0.54026846]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1561, 4.15100671]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1561, 4.66627733]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1561, 298.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 154, 1.0], [154, 284, 1.0], [284, 1561, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 154, 0.0], [154, 284, 0.0], [284, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 57, 12.0], [57, 154, 19.0], [154, 284, 26.0], [284, 1561, 241.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 154, 0.0], [154, 284, 0.0], [284, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 154, 0.0], [154, 284, 0.0], [284, 1561, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 57, 0.03508772], [57, 154, 0.03092784], [154, 284, 0.00769231], [284, 1561, 0.01879405]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1561, 0.10464215]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1561, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1561, 0.00288421]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1561, 23.65602549]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1561, 27.48737292]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1561, -173.53531384]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1561, 10.0]]} |

War Pigs weather, New Years past
When I was driving to work this morning, the Black Sabbath song War Pigs was on the radio, and it summarized the emotions of the current weather in Seattle almost perfectly. I think I’m suffering from seasonal disorder. Or maybe it’s normal to never want to leave your house and sleep 10 hours a day and still be tired. It’s not like I’m ready to go shoot a bus driver or anything like that, but I really do miss those long July nights. Even if my apartment was 110 degrees and I had to sleep naked in the bathtub with the cold water running.
Today has been a real seige with my account on speakeasy. They changed to a new server, and it’s faster, but everything is broken. I couldn’t use my mail program at all – and still can’t. Ok, after 15 minutes of mid-journal-entry screwing with it, I can read my email. But it will take some time to get everything going to 100% again. I guess I have something to do on my day off tomorrow.
And it’s the new year. Since I haven’t taken any extra time off (except for one day that I got to spend with Marie, this Monday), I haven’t been thinking in terms of holidays like I did when I was a little kid. I don’t have a three week break anymore, and I don’t sleep an hour on the night of the 24th because I know cool stuff is waiting under the tree. Things have become pretty lax, which is both good and bad. I feel like having a full-time job kills a lot of the seasonal aspect of life. When you’re in school, you know what time of year it is because you get breaks and you are working to finish the semester or the summer session or whatever. It makes you more closely grounded to the calendar. Now that I work, I tend to forget what season it is. I think that’s why people have kids and take up seasonal hobbies – it reminds them that summer is summer and winter is winter.
I don’t have new year’s plans tonight, except that I’ll finish the pizza in the fridge, go to the corner store for some junk food, watch Conan, and try to stay up late and get some writing finished. I don’t like to go out for the new year, because it’s always a bunch of amateurs getting drunk as fast as possible – it’s the same reason I don’t pull pranks on people on April 1. Let the amateurs have their day. I’ll be inside, enjoying the three-day weekend without the hangover and massive cash outlay.
I used to celebrate New Year’s with my friend Tom Sample, back when we were in high school and college and had nothing better to do. It was one of our rituals, and must’ve started in my sophomore year of high school. Tom and I didn’t drink back then, so we made the small parties a complete orgy of junk food and horror movies. We’d go to the grocery store and spend 40, 60 bucks on frozen pizzas, candy bars, popcorn, chips, sodas, punch, and other sinful garbage. This was back when I had an ultra-high metabolism – I was six feet tall and weighed about 110 pounds. I could eat two Pizza Hut pizzas and still lose weight. Anyway, the shopping trips were the most fun of the whole evening. For the longest time, I saved one of the receipts in my wallet – it was a foot long and read like the inventory of a convenience store. After that, we’d go to the video place and try to find the worst B-movies imaginable. It usually meant stuff like the Faces of Death series, but we also got some music stuff like Decline of Western Civilization or Rock and Roll High school or whatever.
The parties were always at my mom’s house, and were pretty informal. Sometimes a few other friends would be there – Derik Rinehart, Matt Wanke, Joe Gellert, Larry Falli – and we’d watch movies and eat like Atilla the Hun. Sometimes we’d flip the channel at 12 to watch Dick Clark and the ball, but sometimes we’d say ‘fuck it’ and keep watching Hellraiser.
I remember bits and pieces of each year that made it unique. One year, our mutual sometimes-friend Roger Eppich was on leave from a psychiatric hospital and invited himself to the party. Roger was locked up for trying to blow up Tom’s house, so Tom wasn’t exactly nice to him, making covert references to Roger’s insanity every 2 minutes. Another year, Tom and Matt both spent the night. The three of us sat on the couches down in the family room, rating every single girl in our high school from 1 to 10, and getting into these long discussions about our ratings. (I wish I would’ve recorded that). In 1988, our band Nuclear Winter had a New Year’s day gig at this battle of the bands, so most of the people in the band were also at the party. In 1989, I was home from college and my girlfriend came to visit on a Greyhound bus. We fought most of the time, but me and Tom bought a bunch of mixed drink stuff and put together rasberry margarita mix with Hi-C and rootbeer and whatever else was around, making vile concoctions for everyone. He also hooked up with one of my sister’s friends, something that lasted for another five months. I don’t remember much of 1990 or 1991, although we were there for both years and probably cleaned out the snack food aisle of the local Martin’s supermarket both years.
1992 was the first year that the tradition stopped. I was in Bloomington, and Tom was in Elkhart. Since it was dead week and absolutely nobody was around, I didn’t have anything to do. I spent a lot of that break in seclusion – I was still getting over this woman named Cheryl who was very sexy yet very psychotic. And I wasn’t exactly calm and stable either. That day, my friend Cayte Huesman came into Bloomington and hauled me around town for a bit, because I was in the dumps, without a car, and hadn’t talked to another human in almost a week. We ate Chinese food, and I bought a bunch of stuff: a bookcase from Target, CDs from Pungent Stench and Entombed, and the Flight of the Intruder video game. Cayte went back to Indianapolis, and I built the bookcase. I listened to Entombed – Left Hand Path – over and over, while I tried to learn all of the controls of the F-4 and A-6 Navy planes. I had this big map of Vietnam and I was going on all of these missions, dive bombing bridges and fighting MiGs and getting killed every other minute. The CD was on repeat, and was incredible. Before I knew it, I looked at my watch, and it was about 20 after midnight. I missed the whole thing – the song, the kissing, the resolutions, the big ball, Dick Clark counting down… It was surreal, but it didn’t bother me much, and I went back to the game.
So I’ve had a couple of good new year’s parties since then, and I’ve spent a couple doing nothing more than watching the countdown. It doesn’t bother me much, but like everything else, it makes me think of the past.
Anyway, I’ve rambled on enough. Have a good New Year’s, and please don’t play that Prince song.

not awake today
I’m really not awake today. I had to drop off Marie at the airport for a 7:20 flight, which involved waking up at 5:30, which is about 5 hours earlier than my typical schedule. She also had to deal with a bunch of shit from Continental, which has this problem with forgetting about e-ticket bookings. I just spent too much of my time writing them a pissy email, and now I need to stop thinking about it.
It was nice to have Marie here, although it wasn’t nearly enough time, and it was hellish here during her whole stay. Now she knows I’m not kidding about the permanently gray skies, pissing rain, and high winds that pummel the building. Seattle is a very beautiful city, for about 15 minutes a year. Anyway, we didn’t do much of interest or get out too much, based on the traffic and weather. I wanted to go to a movie, but there’s such a poor crop of films out there this holiday. If I had free passes to go to a movie, I don’t think I could pick one. We rented a few movies though, and I got to see Fear and Loathing again. I might watch it again – I have the tapes until Friday. It’s a great film, and usually gets me going about writing and living. In a world where all of the inspirational films are about sports and overcoming odds and whatever, it’s nice to see something new.
Now that the holidays are over, I need to get back to writing as much as possible. I’m still trying to figure out which book to work on, and I don’t think I’ll know, even when I’ve got pieces and chapters on the screen in front of me. I might end up going back and forth a bit. I think that the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron game for the Nintendo might slow down my writing output, at least until I finish all of the levels.
Lunch is over. More later.
I hope you survived this year’s day of Christian celebration without too much hair-pulling.
It wasn’t too bad of a day for me. I woke up “early” (8am) and drove to SeaTac airport to pick up Marie. The snow and ice turned into rain and fog by xmas morning, but the roads were completely empty, making it the easiest drive to the airport I’ve ever encountered, even easier than a 3am on Sunday night drive I had to do once. Parking was really bad, though, and I heard that a water main broke on the rental car level, creating a small lake down there. I got there an hour early, which turned into an hour and a half early because of delays. I forgot my gameboy, and didn’t have anything else to do, so I sat down in a crappy airport chair and fell asleep sitting up for almost an hour. I wish I could do that all the time.
So Marie got here, and it’s good to have her here again. We exchanged gifts and I got the Beat Generation CD set and the Burroughs set from Giorno poetry systems, and a ton of cool books. We spent the rest of the dark and rainy day around the house, playing with the new Nintendo and eventually getting to the IHOP for dinner.
We’re getting ready to leave and do some post-xmas shopping for Nintendo games, so I’ve got to find my teargas and rubber bullets for the uzi to make the trip to the mall a little more pleasant. Later.
Previous xmases
Due to the +3hr screwup on the time, I get to write my happy christmas holiday special (or whatever) even though my watch says it’s the 24th. There’s not a whole lot to write on the day-to-day, since my day was pretty boring. I went to work, and I did a lot of cleaning tonight. It’s pretty uneventful here, just counting down the hours until 11 tomorrow, when I pick up Marie at the airport.
I think that people have kids to remind them of the holidays and the seasons, because sometimes it seems oblivious to me. It’s christmas, but I’m still wondering what happened to summer. I was cleaning out my fridge and poured out some beer that I bought back when I had to start drinking at midnight every night to fall asleep, because the apartment was hotter than hell all night long. Now the wall heater ticks away constantly, and the longest minutes of the day are the ones before my car heater kicks in.
I was trying to think of what significant events happened during various Christmases – I have a habit of remembering anniversaries, what happened 5 years ago or 10 years ago far too well. Last January, I did a pretty good job of remembering what happened on my last ten birthdays. Instead of a linear list, maybe it would be easier to think about random years.
Ten years ago is easy. First, the Camaro sat immovable, parked on the street in front of my mom’s house in Elkhart. It was under a blanket of snow, with a dead starter. I spent the few days after the holiday underneath the beast, melting snow dripping in my face with a salamander heater (which looks like a small jet engine on a stand and sounds like the same), wrenching off the starter motor(s) and having my friend Matt Wanke haul me back and forth to car places while we listened to the new Ozzy album 100 times. I had to change the started three times, but that’s another story. On Christmas, I went to the usual maternal gathering in Chicago, with my grandma and grandpa, several aunts and uncles, and the roughly 2^10*17 cousins I have on that side of the family. We stayed the night in Chicago with my aunt Terry, who has two sons Aaron and Matt, who were a couple years older and younger than me, respectively. After the gathering, we all had money burning a hole in our pocket, so we went to the movies with a couple of friends of Matt’s. We decided to go see Naked Gun, although I hadn’t heard of the movie yet. I’d heard of the original Police Squad show – I saw all of the episodes – but I thought we were going to see some kind of Die Hard movie. The total surprise of it and the great audience put it over the top. And I remember on the way home, I drove back with Aaron in his brand new Mustang, and I was telling him about some girl I liked at work or something, and told me to stop being so passive with her, which I didn’t, and the whole thing blew up about 3 days later, but that’s high school. And on the way back, we were listening to KROK and they played the Metallica song Fade to Black, which fit the mood almost perfectly.
I’m listening to some sappy CD of hippy-trippy solstice songs right now that remind me of 12/25/92. I always consider 1992 my golden year, in that so many people passed through my life, and it was a major transitional point (although almost every hour of 1989-1995 was a major transitional point.) I dated and/or messed around with a beautiful and psychotic woman named Cheryl from roughly thanksgiving to roughly the week before finals, and we had a pretty gruesome split. The fighting left me scarred and reclusive for most of December. I was sort of interested in a person I’d never met; we traded some email and were both going to our respective homes for the break. It was understood that when we returned, we’d meet and see if the letters carried over into real life. They didn’t, but it wasn’t traumatic, and there was still a certain odd magic involved. Also, I was at a very strange spiritual point, where I was going to Catholic church and trying to reconcile a relationship with God, or at least find some nice little Catholic girl to shack up with. Either way, it was the first and possibly only Christmas where I was thinking about the christ part, except for when I was a little kid and it was beaten into me. Since I didn’t have a car, I hitched a ride with a roommate and pulled into Elkhart on the 22nd, and headed back on the 26th. I don’t remember much else about this holiday, except that I was fluctuating between a calm inner peace and a sheer, detox-like depression. Cheryl was a hard habit to kick.
The Christmas before that, 1991, was a little weird, but interesting. I returned to school in Bloomington in 1991, so I actually had to come home for the holiday, in my Rabbit. Getting out of Bloomington was like when all of the X-wing fighters pull out of the death star right before it blew up, for a few reasons. First, I was at the end of my rope with Jo, my girlfriend at the time. We were fighting constantly, the kind of drop-dead fights that end with someone locking someone out of a car in the mall or throwing everything someone owns out of a window. I also had some very heavy classwork, and the last few weeks of the semester consisted of 18 hour programming days, then 8 hour physics study sessions. Anyway, the day after finals, a Saturday, I had to wake up way before dawn, maybe 2 hours after I went to bed, miss a shower and any chance at food, and drive Jo to the airport in Indianapolis. I was already packed and ready to go, so after I said goodbye, I pointed the car north, set at course for Elkhart, and drove in the dark and cold with no tape in the player, quietly laughing and thinking that I finally had some fucking peace and quiet for the next two weeks.
My big Christmas present that year was that one of my best friends in the world, Tom Sample, was returning from a semester in China. We exchanged a few airmails back and forth, but it was still good to see him. The summer before, we were very close, working at the same factory and spending a lot of free time driving around in the Rabbit, listening to the Sex Pistols or Anthrax or King Diamond or whatver we listened to in the summer of 1991. He showed up looking like a POW that spent time in the Hanoi Hilton. Tom’s not a big guy, but the diet and walking made him lose some serious weight. We worked on reversing that with pizzas and Hot and Now hamburgers, and he gave me a watercolor painting from China that’s still on my wall.
Reunion #2 was with Jim Manges, a friend of mine since childhood, who had just been paroled from prison. Jim and I were very much alike as kids, and we still think very much alike, but we followed very different paths. While I chained myself to the Apple II computers in junior high, Jim started drinking and doping and stealing and everything else. Then, in 1988, he was high and beat the shit out of a guy and his wife with a 2×4, which eventually got him an attempted murder conviction, and a 4 year sentence. After about 2.5 years, he was back, and I can’t say our first encounter was incredible. He went from a reckless youth to a drunken skeptic in only a few years. We met back up in 1995, after he spent another year or so in prison for a parole violation, and he was a lot more positive then. But, that was Jim – you’d run into him and he’d be in AA, working, living with his folks, buying a car, thinking about trade school, and then a few months later, he’d be living in a shithole with a 14 year old speed addict, selling bad dope and spending all of his cash on tattoos.
Reunion #3 was with my ex, Becky. We had what could be considered a bad breakup in the spring of that year, when I told her I didn’t want to settle down and I wanted to go back to school. She took the news okay at first, and then she destroyed everything I owned while I was at work. So, to say the reunion was dicey was an understatement. I think she knew that Jo and I were almost history, and maybe… hell, I better not speculate, since if there is one thing I know, I cannot predict these things. Anyway, we spent a little time together, and she gave me a leather diary to replace one she destroyed, since I didn’t give a fuck about anything except my journal. I didn’t write much in that journal, except everything that happened over the break.
Which was… well, I had my first PC with me, which was a total frankenstein machine with which I dialed up to Bloomington, and edited some letters on a floppy disk which I still have. I had a possible interest while the Jo thing was dissolving, someone that looked a lot like Molly Ringwald and seemed interested in me when I wasn’t interested in her and vice versa. I bought a new keyboard in South Bend, and Tom bought me a cheesy porno mag one night we were out running around Mishawaka. I bought the new guns and roses albums on tape and spent a lot of time listening to them. I also spent the bulk of my cash on a very expensive Aiwa walkman, which didn’t leave my side for about the next ten months, until I lost it. On the day of Christmas, we were in Chicago, and I remember my cousin Matt had his daughter there with him – she was only a few months old. He kept telling me that the new Skid Row album was almost thrash, and I ignored him. Jo and I fought on the phone a few times, and I knew we were at like Defcon 1, if that. The six-month relationship ended when we both got back into town.
My mom married her second husband, Tom, when I was a Freshman in high school, but they’d been together for a few years before that. I spent a lot of holidays with his family, and a lot of my memories of the 25th and especially the 24th center around them. His parents were both around, and so was his grandmother. She was married on the 24th, so it was a family gathering day, mostly to have a drink or two, take pictures, and maybe eat a dinner. I typically loathe family gatherings, because people always struggle to ask me the stupidest possible questions about computers or whatever. Since I don’t have a wife or kids or medical problems I’m willing to discuss or any of the other traditional things that people talk about at these gatherings, my best strategy was to bring a good book and sit away from the football game on TV. Although I wasn’t keen on their choice of food or the discussion (this was like Johnny Carson’s ideal demographic) I still remember going there a lot.
The gatherings at my grandma and grandpa’s in Chicago (maternal) was much more jovial. First, I don’t even know how many aunts and uncles I have on my mom’s side. I think it’s like 7 or 8 or 11, but I don’t even know. It’s a lot. And when you figure that my mom is toward the bottom of the tree, and my oldest aunts and uncles and kids that were as old as my youngest aunts and uncles, you’re basically talking about so many cousins that you need some kind of software package to keep track of them. My grandparents lives in the typical Chicago three-story apartment building, and the first floor flat was filled every year for the holidays. I got to see all of my favorite cousins, all of the ones that were just about the age of me and my sisters, and we all had toys with us. My grandfather didn’t give us toys – it was cards with money, in amounts that conformed to this mysterious yet systematic formula based on number of kids, age, and marital status. To us kids, it meant a ten-spot every year, which was fine. And the food – my grandma would cook all day, beautiful roast beef and gravy, real mashed potatoes, beautiful rolls – they had a huge wooden table in the dining room, and it would be filled with hot food that was better than anything you could get in any restaurant. If you were old enough, you got the real plates – the ones with the blue china pattern, and cloth napkins. And after dinner, there were these incredible cookies with powdered sugar. It was impossible not to eat when you visited their house, and Christmas was the pinnacle of this philosophy. There were hard candies, cookies, cakes, salads, breads – the best pumpernickel bread that you could get outside of New York City or maybe Poland itself. And when I got older and the toys got boring, all of my other cousins got older too, and we’d have fun listening to my Grandpa’s crazy stories about the depression or the Cubs or how he worked on O’Hare airport.
Great Christmas memories. It’s weird how I’ve seen so many eras in such a short time. I remember at my Grandma’s funeral, in 1989, when I was in the funeral home with a bunch of my cousins and my cousin Joey say “This means no more Christmases at grandma and grandpa’s. No more of those cookies with the powdered sugar. This is the end of an era.”
But hey, eras begin and end. This is the second Christmas I will spend away from my family, but it doesn’t freak me out too much. It’s the first Christmas I will spend with Marie, and even if we spend the whole day playing Diddy Kong Racing, it will still be cool.
Speaking of which, I need to fold one more load of laundry, and then try to sleep. I don’t know if I will get to update anything over break, so have a good one.

Last night, I bought a Nintendo-64, a second controller, Diddy Kong Racing, and the South Park game. It’s a present for Marie, sort of like when Homer got Marge a bowling ball. No, really, she used to have one, and I thought it would be fun. I already told her about it, so I’m not outing myself by posting this. Of course, I set all of the stuff up last night, and stayed up way too late playing it.
First impressions: I’ve spent almost zero time with the Playstation or N64, so I was going into this as a complete novice. First, I like the way the console looks – it reminds me of a piece of Sun hardware, or maybe an SGI. It’s also very simple, with few switches, buttons, or jacks. I’m fortunate in that my video/audio setup at home is very generous in facilitating the video/audio setups. People with older TVs would probably have much more trouble dealing with the composite video out and stereo audio out. The controllers are a bit weird, and I still get screwed up on how to hold them and use the 90,000 assorted buttons. They are pretty comfortable after a while, though.
I first started with the South Park game. I expected more realism than other 8 and 16 bit games, but this totally blew me away. It has the whole introduction to the show, and the graphics look almost exactly like the TV show. Although you can tell the shapes are computer generated, it is not blocky or pixelated at all – it is very smooth and shadowed correctly, and looks truly amazing for something on a TV. The sound is even better – it’s stereo, and I ran it through my receiver, which added even more to the effect.
The South Park game is fun – you play one of the four kids, and then you meet up with the other 3 and do various things in the town, trying to finish each level. I haven’t played games that much, and I usually play very specific ones, so I was getting my ass kicked over and over. It is funny to hear Cartman die – all of the characters talk, and even swear (it is beeped out, mostly). But I wanted to see the whole game. So, I got on dejanews, did a search, and found a page of cheat codes. The codenames are funny, and let you enable different characters and other stuff. I think ASSMAN gives you invulterability. If you have the game and are trying to find the codes, email me and I will send them to you. I found a code that turned on everything, and started kicking ass. There’s one weapon which is a terrance and phillip doll, which is like a grenade of flatulence. You can throw a whole bunch of them and leave a path of deadly landmines which produce giant mushroom clouds of green gas. I also had a lot of fun with the cow launcher, and the chicken sniper weapon. At the start of each round, there is a little cartoon that tells you your mission, usually with Chef talking to the kids. It’s very cool – I need to get in there and start going through all of the levels.
I played Diddy Kong Racing a few times, although I spent so much time on South Park that I couldn’t do much more than run a few races. It’s very cool, the graphics look like a Disney cartoon and the sounds are very cute. If I had a kid, I would get them a N-64 just because so many of the games are like this. I couldn’t figure out the controls, but I will mess with it a bit more. Marie likes the game a lot, so we will play it more when she gets here.
Writing, of course, is at a dead stop. Maybe tonight I’ll get a few lines done, but now I need to clean the house and shop for Marie’s visit. I think my sleep schedule is about up to date now, so that’s cool. I also go to the dentist in a couple of hours, and find out how much heavy construction they’ll be doing over the next few months.
I found an odd page on the technology of Star Wars at http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~saxton/starwars/

The smell of a VW
I wish I could describe the way a VW Rabbit smells. I was thinking about this last night, while writing the book. One time I was watching an episode of Wings (the airplane show, not the sitcom) or some other Discover channel documentary on the B-52 and one of the pilots mentioned that all of the planes had a distinct smell, of old wiring, new electronics, jet fuel, spilled Cokes, and everything else. You’d think any military hardware would be sterile inside, but it’s usually much worse than an old car. My old VW is about the same vintage as a MiG-25, and similar in many ways – the silver color, the boxy construction, the minimalist instruments and controls, and the mix of comfort and discomfort that makes it a unique piece of machinery. You can reach every piece of the engine on a VW and easily strip the whole thing apart with five wrenches, but there’s no good place to rest your left foot when it’s off the clutch. The MiG-25 can fly over Mach 3 and high enough so you can see the curve of the earth, but it uses only vacuum tubes in its circuitry, and it’s far too easy to push an engine to failure.
The smell – I think of this because I spent so much time in my car this weekend, stuck in traffic. It snowed about 4 microns on Saturday, which meant every fucking soccer mom and Microsoft yuppie with a 4×4 SUV ended up in a ditch or shutting down a floating bridge because they thought they paid $60,000 so they could drive and brake at highway speeds on glare ice. Anyway, this meant the car got nice and toasty inside, and while I was strapped into my minimalist little seat in my aluminum-silver cockpit, the odor of a 20 year old VW made me think of my history with these little cars.
First, the West Germans made great little cars that were fun to drive and still got 30 or 40 MPG, but they had horrible wiring systems. My current VW has about 10 wiring problems, ranging from an intermittent rear defogger to no horn or reverse gear lights. For a while, my front turn signals wouldn’t blink when the headlights were on, and then they miraculously healed. Same with the dome light, although it comes and goes. On my last VW, all of the dash warning lights would turn on when it was raining, and on the one before, a buzzer would sound if it got too wet out. The substandard wiring gave the car one of its smells – a mix of old rubber insulation and ozone that increased when the temp went up. This mixed with the paper and cardboard used under the dash, which gives off the aroma of old books – not the paper and dust mite smell, but the thin cardboard cover of a 1960’s owner’s manual. All of this mixes with the smell of a rich gas engine, or the unique odor of the thin, black dust given off by a tiny diesel powerplant. Add the slight smell of oil and an aging plastic dashboard, and you start to get the idea.
It’s odd how unique the VW aroma is, yet how standard it is among the make. A couple of years ago, I was in Snoqualmie at a company picnic and saw two Rabbits that had been tricked out for some kind of racing – they had no doors, one seat, some NASCAR-esque netting, and so forth. I looked at the cars for a while, feeling some nostalgia for my old VW. When I climbed in, it smelled just like the interior of my old VW. And it’s not like what my old Camaro smelled like, the rich smell of 8 cylinders rumbling, with Armor-All, carpet cleaner and Turtle Wax all over the interior.
Maybe I’m nuts – I have a sensitive nose, but I can’t describe smell that good. It reminds me of different times, eras. When I spray Lysol, it reminds me of the summer of 1992, when I used to spray the shit constantly in my tiny roominghouse apartment on Mitchell Street. Every cologne I own is a time machine going back to when I first started using it – same with every shampoo, cleaning product, and candle. If I knew anything at all about differentiating this stuff verbally, I could probably get a job designing perfumes or something. Maybe not…
Speaking of time machines, I am vageuly starting to study them a bit more, so maybe I will go from Summer Rain tight into working on the third book again. I haven’t written in here all weekend, but I spent a lot of time reorganizing and moving around stuff in Summer Rain‘s third book so it fell into a logical order. I think I had about 7 or 8 weekends in August, and that didn’t work out. The shuffle went without a major hitch, but now I’m almost out of energy to continue with it. I think I’ll plow away until Marie gets here in 4 days, and then start something else after she leaves – maybe Rumored, maybe the yet-unnamed time travel book.
I better go. It’s snowing again and I’m worried about making it home. The Rabbit drives excellent on the ice – it’s such a light car, and front wheel drive. The Rabbit’s weight is distributed just right so when your wheels don’t let you turn anymore, you can swing the weight of the car around and aim it almost perfectly. But the fucking idiots out there are probably causing 200 car pileups on the freeway, and if my 3000 pound Rabbit got hit by a 9000 pound Suburban that didn’t know what the fuck they were doing, well, you could guess who wouldn’t be updating his journal for a while.
hit the 500 CD mark
Last night I unofficially hit the 500 CD mark. I say unofficially because I have two pending orders on the way (now 3) and they will put me over the mark. Last night was a huge shopping night, and I got some great stuff. I finished my collection of easily-attainable Dream Theater albums, meaning I have to start hitting the bootleggers and/or track down all of their various import singles.
Side note: Dream Theater’s drummer collects bootlegs – of his own band. And when you’re talking about a progrock band so exact with their sound, and a listening demographic of a bunch of people with cool toys like portable DAT players, that means a lot of bootlegs.
I need to cut this short today, because I have a meeting right after lunch, and I need to get about a million other things done first.

9 CDs away from 500
I’ve been listening to this new live Dream Theater CD so much, I want to go out and buy a guitar or a drum set or something. But I know I’ll end up spending $400 on a guitar and within a week I’ll realize I don’t have the persistence to learn how to play the damn thing, and then I’ll sell it for $200. So I’d rather just cut to the chase and spend the $200 on CDs tonight.
(BTW, after two orders show up on my doorstep, I will only be 9 CDs away from 500. And I have enough silver certificates to get a free one tonight. And if I shop around, that could be a free double album. So I might sneak in by my self-imposed 12/31 deadline.)
I should mention that there is a new Andrew Dice Clay website at www.dicemanrules.com. Not much there yet, but you can order his latest 2-CD set and get a bonus CD. I think it is a mail-order only thing – he probably lost his record deal when American went under and got bought out by Sony. Clay was on Politically Incorrect the other night, and made me realize two things: he is a genius and Kennedy is an idiot.
Yesterday was a wash for any productive work. I tried to stay awake long enough to get some writing done, but I fell asleep for a couple of hours and awoke to find that my heater had been on full blast the whole time, and the apartment felt like a pottery kiln. I had to open all the windows to get it back to a reasonable temperature, and I spent the rest of the evening babbling in a half-daze.
I did do some reading – I’m trying to get through this Thomas Pynchon book of short stories. He’s very critical of his early work, and that helps me – it’s cool to see the mistakes that a good writer did early in their career. I’m on this big kick about trying to reinvent my writing style. I know that’a big cop-out, but I have some ideas floating around and once I get my shit together, I’ll start with some smaller practice stories or something.
I have to go eat now.

rain, no caffeine
I’m tired today. And I’m trying to stay off caffeine, which is a bad combination. Last night, when I was falling asleep, I came up with an entirely new idea for a book, and even outlined most of it in my head. I barely remember it – it’s like a strange dream sequence, with events spinning and changing in my head for no reason. I’d like to write a whole book like that, progressing like a dream instead of a linear story. I’ll add it to my list of stuff I want to do when I get the time.
It rained continually this weekend, like I was in some kind of southeast asian monsoon or something. Even worse, it was cold, and the rain was heavy. This whole description sounds very cliche, but the whole thing was demoralizing. Today, the sun is almost out and it looks okay, but it will be darker than midnight by four o’clock, and it will probably start raining before I drive home. Driving is the worst – it took me an hour to make the ten minute drive home from the mall on Saturday. When it rains, the roads fill with people and then slow to a crawl. I-5 becomes a parking lot of people, and there are never any good, alternate routes. Staying inside all weekend is the only option.
Despite the fact that I only left the house three times all weekend, I didn’t get a lot done writing-wise. I did put in more than a few hours of work, but I’m starting to get bored of Summer Rain. I don’t want to keep plodding through chapters like I do now, but I don’t have the focus or attention span to start working on Rumored again. I figure if I continue at my current rate, I will be more or less done with this draft by the end of January.
I got the new Dream Theater live album. It’s 2 CDs and both of them are completely full of stuff, which is cool. I’m sick of buying a 2 CD set and the second one has like 20 minutes of stuff on it. I saw Dream Theater on this tour, although I didn’t have their newest album with I saw them, so I didn’t know what to expect of the new stuff. I’ve since bought Falling Into Infinity and I love it, so hearing the stuff live is incredible. I’ve been a Dream Theater fan since before their first album – a guy at a record store in Elkhart gave me the advance tape, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
I’ve got a sandwich to eat, so I better split.
New CD club bounty
I’ve been listening to the G3 live album all day, and I’ve realized that I really need to see Steve Vai live again. His albums are incredible, but his live guitar is mind-boggling. Everything is twice as complex and four times as fast. And it’s all incredibly exact. He only has three tracks on the CD, but the stuff he did at G3 really blew me away. I went on November 8, 1996 at sat in about the 10th row. I think his sound is perfectly engineered for people in the first few rows who are wearing earplugs. The low end bass sounded completely alien – it was totally undistorted, but felt like it was ripping through my chest and rumbling my bones. And he was all over the place, holding his guitar to the side, high, low, above his head, not even looking at it and playing things inhumanly fast yet hitting every note perfectly. The way he bent notes, wrapped them up and down and used the whammy at the same time, it felt like he was talking to me telepathically, through his guitar. His face would like like he was in a conversation, but the sound wasn’t coming from his mouth. Sure, Satriani was good both times I saw him, but Vai – it must’ve felt like this when people saw Hendrix for the first time 30 years ago. I wish he’d come out with a 3-CD live album for his last tour. He’s allegedly working on some huge 8-CD boxed set, so maybe it will have some cool stuff.
I got a bunch of CDs yesterday. Well, 7 – new CD club. I’m trying to clear out their AC/DC and Ozzy back-catalog. I’m about 18 CDs short of 500, which was my goal for the year. My next goal is to find a place to put all of them, since they are currently stacked on top of every piece of A/V gear I own.
I’m not in the journaling mood today. I’m going to go eat my sandwich.
I guess it’s a day to talk about what’s in the CD player. Now it’s Rush again, and I’m listening to all of these old Rush songs that remind me of spending an entire summer on a ten-speed bike, or in the basement putting together model airplanes. It’s really amazing how much scope my career with Rush really covers. One summer, I’m listening to the brand-spanking-new Grace Under Pressure and mowing lawns to save up for a drum set, and only a couple albums later, I’m listening to Presto in my walkman as I trod around the Indiana University campus. It’s pretty eerie when you think about it.
For the longest time, I thought that the last line of Rush’s song “The Trees” was “And the trees were all kept equal by magic acts and song.” It’s really “hatchet, axe, and saw.” And there’s still this Dokken song where I swear the guy is saying “your cufflinks are gold” but I know it has to be something else. Speaking of Dokken, I watched almost all of one of those greatest hits of the 80’s infomercials and almost ordered all 125 dollars’ worth of CDs. Several observations: First, the girl doing the commercial is the model who was in the Cherry Pie video. She is allegedly two years older than me, which is about right. So, while I was mixing paint at Monkey Wards for $3.50 an hour, she was only two years older and probably driving a pink Ferrari or something. Also, have you noticed the large number of vaguely metal-based songs that were popular back then? I don’t even remember that much of a bias, even from the middle of Indiana, but I guess it was true. About every third time I talk to Ray, we have a huge disussion about this. Right now, part of the country’s default musical taste is R&B-type stuff, and the rest is “alternative”, meaning almost nobody listens to metal anymore. Ray wouldn’t listen to Poison if they were the equivalent of, say, Green Day, but it would mean a lot of people would be willing to make the transition from Poison to Motley Crue to Metallica to Motorhead to Rotting Christ. Somebody listening to the Backstreet Boys isn’t going to follow the same path.
I don’t care too much, since I don’t listen to the radio much, and selling metal CDs is not my livelihood. But I’ve noticed that I don’t have a default preference for music anymore. I liked it back in high school when I was into bands like Anthrax and Megadeth, and there were tons of other similar bands. I’d buy a tape or two every week, and when I got to the store, the people there would point me to new stuff or cool bands. I didn’t make much money back then and couldn’t afford CD binges like now, so my biggest problem was that there were hundreds of new things I wanted, and I could only buy a few a month. Now I seem to drift, and I buy a lot of old stuff. I feel somewhat cheated when buying something old – it’s like watching an old Seinfeld rerun vs. going to see a new, really good movie. The Seinfeld rerun is great, but there’s a certain something in seeing something new. Sometimes I wish I was into rap or techno or jazz or punk or industrial just so I could go to the store and say “I’m into this scene” and have the guy behind the counter hand me some new stuff that I’d like. But now I pick through the racks and come up with some really disjointed selections.
I have almost 500 CDs, but sometimes spend 15 minutes trying to find something to listen to. Is that pathetic?

Sabat Company has a financial support fund, with the goal of assisting the poor. Since Sabat's establishment, a decided percentage of the company's margin has been transferred to this fund, and the money has been used to support sick people (especially cancer sick children and adults), poor students, poor young people getting married (please notice the Middle Eastern marriage tradition of dowries). The fund has also been used to support the victims of natural catastrophes, such as those in Haiti, Afghanistan, and most recently the region of Wan in east Turkey. Using the money from this fund, with additional funds from the company, major projects have already been accomplished, such as the building of a primary school, renovation of a main road to dozens of villages in Iraqi Kurdistan, the installation of solar panelsin poor villages and the establishment of settlement houses for the homeless.
How can poor people benefit from this fund?
Please, if you know somebody, or yourself, who are in need of support, please do not hesitate to contact our representatives in Kurdistan to arrange a meeting. Based on the received information, the company decides the amount of the support. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11588 | {"url": "http://sabatcompany.com/aid", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "sabatcompany.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T08:29:36Z", "digest": "sha1:R6GZ7XYQGU6SING4ZYXYW6HTOVNDGRG7"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1191, 1191.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1191, 1671.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1191, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1191, 38.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1191, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1191, 178.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1191, 0.43303571]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1191, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1191, 0.02479339]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1191, 0.02066116]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1191, 0.03512397]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1191, 0.12946429]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1191, 0.58031088]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1191, 5.01554404]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1191, 4.3382164]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1191, 193.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 906, 1.0], [906, 950, 1.0], [950, 1191, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 906, 0.0], [906, 950, 0.0], [950, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 906, 145.0], [906, 950, 8.0], [950, 1191, 40.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 906, 0.0], [906, 950, 0.0], [950, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 906, 0.0], [906, 950, 0.0], [950, 1191, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 906, 0.01545254], [906, 950, 0.02272727], [950, 1191, 0.01244813]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1191, 0.96216589]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1191, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1191, 0.10779405]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1191, -7.79392835]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1191, 26.65943215]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1191, 19.50669262]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1191, 7.0]]} |
Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
Thinking bigger about Election 2018
Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation, draws some conclusions about the outcome of the midterm elections, in an article based on a Facebook post that has been edited for publication.
THE ELECTORAL victories that broke the Republican hold on the House of Representative have pierced the perceptions of Trumpism as all-powerful and impenetrable. This includes all kinds of progressive referenda, left candidates in state races and, most dramatically, the restoration of voting rights for (most of) the formerly incarcerated in Florida.
There were significant victories in the Midwest where Trump secured his electoral outcome in 2016. The demise of troglodyte governors Scott Walker and Bruce Rauner, in Wisconsin and Illinois respectively, is also welcome.
These are important repudiations of the white supremacy emanating for the White House. It was also a confirmation of the audience that exists for actual left politics, not watered-down centrism.
For some of the Democrats running for re-election in the Senate and elsewhere, we now have tangible proof that you can’t beat neo-Confederate, white nationalism with mealymouthed, middle-of-the-road appeals to civility and good governance. Conservative and centrist Democrats found that voters won’t waste their time with cheap knockoffs.
The only chance we have to bury the Trump nightmare is a radical political agenda that provides an actual and real alternative to the status quo. The massive increase in voter turnout is a testament to this.
The progressive current within the Democratic Party didn’t just run against Trump — they ran on Medicare for All, abolition of ICE and other political issues seen as progressive, and not just maintenance of the status quo. It was the motivating factor missing in the 2016 presidential campaign that motivated people to stand in lines for hours in poor conditions.
Where these politics failed to win — most spectacularly in Florida with Andrew Gillum and possibly with Stacey Abrams in Georgia — naked racism, voter intimidation, voter suppression and outright theft should not be underestimated.
Even in Texas, where Beto O’Rourke lost to the awful Ted Cruz by a razor-thin margin, the legacies of voter suppression, disenfranchisement and naked appeals to racism should not be underestimated, including unvarnished attacks on poor and working-class Latinos under the guise of an “immigration crisis.”
In general, the racism of Republican voters converged with determined efforts of the Republican establishment to subvert Black and Latino access to vote. This is certainly not the whole story, but the GOP’s long game of gerrymandering districts and using the courts to undermine easy access to voting will continue to come into play as their message shrinks to its bigoted and maniacal base.
THE OTHER truth coming out of the elections is that the need for struggle and organizing remain as important as they have ever been.
In the effort to generate a mobilization of voters, that unfortunate narrative, which reduces nearly all of Black struggle and politics to voting, was revived.
Of course, securing the right to vote has been a central part of Black political movements since emancipation, but even activists and organizers within the civil rights movement understood their struggle to be about so much more. The Black Power rebellions and urban insurgencies that erupted in the second half of the 1960s were bitter confirmation that more than voting was necessary.
Indeed, Black people had been voting in cities outside of the South for decades prior to the civil rights movement, and yet still found themselves locked into substandard and segregated housing, under-resourced schools and poorly paid jobs — all hemmed in by racist and abusive police forces.
It was no coincidence that five days after Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law in 1965, the Watts Rebellion in South Central Los Angeles erupted. It was evidence for the rest of the country that participation in a deeply racist and flawed democracy was no guarantee of the freedom and justice that Black people were pursuing.
This was a period not only of rebellion, but also that saw the flowering of radical organizations with radical expectations for a new configuration of American society — what King referred to as the radical reconstruction of the United States. Millions of people radicalized in the face of self-imposed limits of American democracy.
To put it sharply, voting is not enough when the first words from Nancy Pelosi’s mouth upon winning the House of Representatives are her intentions to “reach across the aisle” in hope of attaining “bipartisanship.” This confirms how out of touch the existing Democratic Party leadership is and how little they have learned from 2016.
Struggle remains absolutely critical to making them take the agenda of poor and working-class people in this country seriously. They will not do it on their own.
It is such an exposure of the cynicism of the Democratic Party leadership, which is willing to highlight Trump’s authoritarianism and racism to get the vote out, and then immediately makes appeals to bipartisanship when what is actually needed is a plan to politically destroy the Republican Party.
In the two-second news cycle world we are living through, it’s easy to think of the massacre of Jews, the murder of Black citizens and the use of terror bombs to the perceived enemies of Trump as ancient history, but this was only two weeks ago. How do we promote bipartisanship with a party exceptionally fluent in racism, political thuggery and rank hostility to millions of people in this country?
But this is the moderating influence that governing can take — pragmatism, negotiation, compromise and banal calls for bipartisanship — when we are not organized around our own demands.
For those that think we as a society can keep meandering through the political wilderness, losing some and winning some, I would implore you to look beyond the borders of this country. Look at Brazil. Look across Europe. The growth of the hard right is real. The threat of fascism is real. Climate collapse is real.
These all require a qualitative transformation in our political expectations and demands. We have to think big; we have to organize bigger. It requires more than getting out the vote. Now the hard work continues.

expectation maximization
The disadvantage of the insertion sort is that it does not perform as well as other, better sorting algorithms. Optimization with trust region methods requires the gradient of the objective function and possibly the Hessian, depending on the method. Once an item is popped from the stack,it is no longer available. Lets talk about some of its cons. It helps you to be recognised and noticed. Some important and well-known sorting algorithms are the bubble sort, the selection sort, the insertion sort and the quick sort. It is called admissible heuristic.
They cannot act any different outside of whatever algorithm or programming is stored in their internal circuits. He holds a Bachelor of Science in computing. The main advantage of the selection sort is that it performs well on a small list. That means, the real cost to reach goal node from node n should be greater than or equal h n. Using these type of applications we can communicate with our device using our voice. I is not going to replace Doctors, it will help them by providing the relevant data need to take care of patient such as history of aortic aneurism, high blood pressure, coronary blockages, history of smoking, prior pulmonary embolism, cancer, implantable devices or deep vein thrombosis.
Disadvantages of algorithm
Opportunity cost is the key to comparative advantage: Individuals and nations gain by producing goods at relatively low costs and exchanging their outputs for different goods produced by others at relatively low cost. Now, what is a flowchart? Which makes our work easy. Furthermore, the amount of data transmitted is relatively small. Construction of the Flow Chart: The symbols used in the flowchart are described below. This is really a basic and very powerful idea. Natural language processing to communicate with humans in their language.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Algorithmic Trading
Recursion means a function calls repeatedly It uses system stack to accomplish it's task. Writting a value to stack is push operation. A common heuristic for both approaches is to repeat several times from different initialization points. Provide details and share your research! Creating an algorithm is a very crucial step in the programming, as it decides the efficiency of the program. Disadvantages If it is too unique it will put off potential customers and only appeal to a selected crowd which could end up meaning you would have a smaller business. That is, they are increasingly becoming part of the basic circuitry of computers or are easily attached adjuncts, as well as standing alone in special devices such as payroll machines. Because of the uniform distribution, it seems like your objective function might have some nasty behavior.
If I need quick results, is it better to pre-compute the paths? A recursive implementation will use more memory than a loop if can't be performed. It may take megabytes of space to store them. This heuristic function should never overestimate the cost. Therefore, an algorithm is the series of steps that must be executed to solve a problem. List the steps of the algorithm.
It might not attract your target market. On the contrary, the construction of the algorithm is complex. To make the program work properly the algorithm must be properly designed. This is a common optimization done on some problems, for example on the , but it is more advanced. As because it will need going through the underlying complexities.
The Advantages & Disadvantages of Sorting Algorithms
All elements in the first sublist are arranged to be smaller than the pivot, while all elements in the second sublist are arranged to be larger than the pivot. So, the certain step involved in the algorithm must be executable. First, it partitions the list of items into two sublists based on a pivot element. Of course, the concept is easily applicable to all kinds of engineering and theoretical areas. In general, both approaches will converge to a local optimum. As a result, we have studied Advantages and Disadvantages of Machine Learning.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence
Hence end point accuracy is poor. The primary advantage of the bubble sort is that it is popular and easy to implement. Precomputing the paths could be the only way if you need realtime results and the graph is quite large, but usually you wish to pathfind the route less frequently I'm assuming you want to calculate it often. Advantage Finds shortest path in O E+ V Log V if you use a min priority queue. As machines are replacing human resources, the rate of people losing their jobs will increase. Recursive loops don't have this problem though. On the other hand, the flowchart is a method of expressing an algorithm, in simple words, it is the diagrammatic representation of the algorithm.
Relax all edges leaving the initial vertex S. The algorithms can easily be adjusted to the problem at hand. We can chat with them about what we are looking for. Because it sorts in place, no additional storage is required as well. Complete absence of emotions make machines to take right decisions.
Difference Between Algorithm and Flowchart (with Comparison Chart, Example, Advantages and Disadvantages)
Many different applications algorithms are now available, and highly advanced systems such as artificial intelligence algorithms may become common in the future. Show step by step execution of Bresenham Line Generation algorithm for drawing a line having endpoints 2, 3 and 9, 8. And when it comes to a creative mind, nothing can beat a human mind. This because with every recursive call call stack increases. Algorithms are 'heuristic', meaning that they are seen as basically unjustified, and incapable of justification in and of themselves. As one can see from the above that algorithmic trading has both pros and cons and it can be compared to an F1 racing car, just like F1 racing car look great when it is running at full speed on racing track but slightest error can prove to be fatal for the driver. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11590 | {"url": "http://spitfirephoto.com/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-algorithm.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "spitfirephoto.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:42:42Z", "digest": "sha1:SIJRAZDT4W5H6HVBBJ3ROVKIME3SPB6S"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 6226, 6226.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 6226, 6824.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 6226, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 6226, 32.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 6226, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 6226, 265.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 6226, 0.43523316]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 6226, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 6226, 0.02324207]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 6226, 0.01083317]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 6226, 0.03584794]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 6226, 0.03309041]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 6226, 0.01036269]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 6226, 0.12003454]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 6226, 0.46418057]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 6226, 4.98233562]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 6226, 5.48519965]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 6226, 1019.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 110, 0.0], [110, 180, 0.0], [180, 205, 0.0], [205, 761, 1.0], [761, 1470, 1.0], [1470, 1497, 0.0], [1497, 2041, 1.0], [2041, 2093, 0.0], [2093, 2943, 1.0], [2943, 3318, 1.0], [3318, 3663, 1.0], [3663, 3716, 0.0], [3716, 4262, 1.0], [4262, 4318, 0.0], [4318, 5014, 1.0], [5014, 5313, 1.0], [5313, 5419, 0.0], [5419, 6226, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 110, 0.0], [110, 180, 0.0], [180, 205, 0.0], [205, 761, 0.0], [761, 1470, 0.0], [1470, 1497, 0.0], [1497, 2041, 0.0], [2041, 2093, 0.0], [2093, 2943, 0.0], [2943, 3318, 0.0], [3318, 3663, 0.0], [3663, 3716, 0.0], [3716, 4262, 0.0], [4262, 4318, 0.0], [4318, 5014, 0.0], [5014, 5313, 0.0], [5313, 5419, 0.0], [5419, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 110, 14.0], [110, 180, 9.0], [180, 205, 2.0], [205, 761, 91.0], [761, 1470, 121.0], [1470, 1497, 3.0], [1497, 2041, 85.0], [2041, 2093, 6.0], [2093, 2943, 138.0], [2943, 3318, 65.0], [3318, 3663, 57.0], [3663, 3716, 6.0], [3716, 4262, 92.0], [4262, 4318, 6.0], [4318, 5014, 122.0], [5014, 5313, 52.0], [5313, 5419, 12.0], [5419, 6226, 138.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 110, 0.07619048], [110, 180, 0.12121212], [180, 205, 0.0], [205, 761, 0.0], [761, 1470, 0.0], [1470, 1497, 0.0], [1497, 2041, 0.0], [2041, 2093, 0.0], [2093, 2943, 0.0], [2943, 3318, 0.0], [3318, 3663, 0.0], [3663, 3716, 0.0], [3716, 4262, 0.0], [4262, 4318, 0.0], [4318, 5014, 0.0], [5014, 5313, 0.0], [5313, 5419, 0.0], [5419, 6226, 0.00757576]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 110, 0.0], [110, 180, 0.0], [180, 205, 0.0], [205, 761, 0.0], [761, 1470, 0.0], [1470, 1497, 0.0], [1497, 2041, 0.0], [2041, 2093, 0.0], [2093, 2943, 0.0], [2943, 3318, 0.0], [3318, 3663, 0.0], [3663, 3716, 0.0], [3716, 4262, 0.0], [4262, 4318, 0.0], [4318, 5014, 0.0], [5014, 5313, 0.0], [5313, 5419, 0.0], [5419, 6226, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 110, 0.01818182], [110, 180, 0.02857143], [180, 205, 0.0], [205, 761, 0.01438849], [761, 1470, 0.01269394], [1470, 1497, 0.03703704], [1497, 2041, 0.02022059], [2041, 2093, 0.07692308], [2093, 2943, 0.01176471], [2943, 3318, 0.01866667], [3318, 3663, 0.01449275], [3663, 3716, 0.09433962], [3716, 4262, 0.01831502], [4262, 4318, 0.07142857], [4318, 5014, 0.02011494], [5014, 5313, 0.02006689], [5313, 5419, 0.08490566], [5419, 6226, 0.01363073]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 6226, 0.79342669]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 6226, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 6226, 0.05667627]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 6226, -100.94042993]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 6226, 56.16787078]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 6226, -136.73832867]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 6226, 65.0]]} |
Have Kanye West Fans Had Enough?
As Kanye West celebrates his 40th anniversary in 2016, many people are beginning to question the wisdom of continuing to make such a large amount of money. With all of the social media posts about Kanye West, being called a hypocrite for buying the right to use his own name in order to cash in on it, it is almost certain that he will have many fans who will be disappointed with his decisions in the coming years.
Kanye West has had a significant impact on music for the past couple of decades, his lyrics touching on the themes that many fans of hip-hop and R&B want to see addressed. At the same time, he has been able to attract a loyal following, many of who would be willing to support him financially if he chose to do so.
With the upcoming release of The Life of Pablo, Kanye said that he would be working with major record labels on his upcoming album, so it is likely to be available on Amazon. One would assume that his fans are also excited about The Life of Pablo in order to enjoy listening to this album in multiple formats. With all of the money that he made, he can probably afford to support his own album for the time being, or at least until he has enough to recoup some of the money that he lost on The Black Album.
As we look ahead to the future of hip-hop and R&B, it is important to get perspective on how to deal with a situation like Kanye West. Are his fans really worth the investment? Can he continue to have fans who will not be able to make the investment? Is it even worth having fans at the same time?
If your answer to any of these questions is “yes”, then it is likely that your fans are very invested in you, and more investment makes for even better fans. There is no doubt that Kanye West will have a very loyal fan base, but is he capable of supporting a career with such a passionate fan base? It is possible that once he has done with The Life of Pablo, he could just sell off most of the remaining records that are still in circulation, and that could hurt his music business in the future.

Alarm sounded over humanitarian crisis in Yemen

AMMAN, Jordan (CNS) — Aid agencies and Catholic officials are sounding the alarm on Yemen’s spiraling humanitarian crisis, calling on the combatants to end the war and make badly need assistance available.
Yemen is facing the largest humanitarian crisis of this time, according to the United Nations. The impoverished nation at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula is now the most food-insecure population in the world due to the 4-year-old conflict.
“A war is ongoing in Yemen, but the big world does not seem to be very interested,” said Bishop Paul Hinder, apostolic vicar of Southern Arabia, which includes Yemen.
“There are innumerable people internally displaced because they fled from the war,” he told Catholic News Service.
“A wonderful nation with a cultural tradition [spanning millennia] is about to be destroyed,” warned Bishop Hinder, decrying the lack of international resolve to end the conflict tearing Yemen apart.
Observers say Yemen has been caught up in a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and its regional archrival, Iran. More than 10,000 people have been killed, millions have been displaced and it has pushed Yemen to the verge of starvation.
Nearly 21 million people in Yemen need humanitarian aid; two-thirds of the population is on the brink of starvation, without access to adequate food and clean water to survive each day.
Some 1.8 million Yemeni children are malnourished, making them more vulnerable to disease, the U.N. children’s agency, UNICEF, reported. These children include nearly 400,000 whose lives are at risk from severe acute malnutrition. Some 68 percent of the population lacks access to basic health care.
Johan Mooij, CARE International’s Yemen country director, said there is currently only enough food to sustain the country’s population for two months.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s cholera outbreak — the worst in the world — is accelerating again, with roughly 10,000 suspected cases now reported per week, according to the World Health Organization. Approximately 30 percent of all suspected cases are children under age 5, the agency added, saying that cholera can kill a child within hours, if left untreated.
“The international community cannot ignore anymore the tragedy going on. The warring parties have to be pressured in order to sit around the table and to make humanitarian help possible for all people in need,” said Bishop Hinder.
“The conspiratorial silence around this war has to be broken in order to force the warring parties to a cease-fire followed by serious peace talks,” Bishop Hinder said. Aid “must not be stopped by the war parties under whatever pretext.”
In June, escalating violence in and around Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah, the main humanitarian hub, led to hundreds of thousands more people being displaced and vital routes for aid and supplies being closed. Recently, there has been an increase again in airstrikes on Hodeidah, jeopardizing the lives of noncombatants.
“It’s almost impossible to speak on the phone with my sister in Yemen because the constant bombing makes our conversations impossible,” a Yemeni refugee named Habiba, who sheltering in Amman, told CNS.
“Humanitarian corridors are urgently needed and have to be secured. Attacks against health care institutions, schools and social events, such as weddings and funerals, have to be [condemned] by the international community,” Bishop Hinder told CNS.
Ahead of World Refugee Day in June, Pope Francis urged the international community to make every effort to end the severe humanitarian situation in Yemen.
The United Nations has renewed its efforts to try to end Yemen’s war with a plan that calls on the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels and the internationally recognized government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, supported by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, to agree a peace deal under a transitional governing body.
“With the humanitarian crisis [in Yemen] plummeting to new depths, all efforts must be focused on securing a cease-fire,” said Frank McManus, the New York-based International Rescue Committee’s country director in Yemen. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11595 | {"url": "http://theleaven.org/alarm-sounded-over-humanitarian-crisis-in-yemen/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en",
