Distributions of Discrete Variables
I recently purchased a bag of Plain M&M's. The M&M's were in six different colors. A quick count showed that there were 55 M&M's: 17 brown, 18 red, 7 yellow, 7 green, 2 blue, and 4 orange. These counts are shown below in Table 1.
Table 1. Frequencies in the Bag of M&M's
This table is called a frequency table and it describes the distribution of M&M color frequencies. Not surprisingly, this kind of distribution is called a frequency distribution. Often a frequency distribution is shown graphically as in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Distribution of 55 M&M's.
The distribution shown in Figure 1 concerns just my one bag of M&M's. You might be wondering about the distribution of colors for all M&M's. The manufacturer of M&M's provides some information about this matter, but they do not tell us exactly how many M&M's of each color they have ever produced. Instead, they report proportions rather than frequencies. Figure 2 shows these proportions. Since every M&M is one of the six familiar colors, the six proportions shown in the figure add to one. We call Figure 2 a probability distribution because if you choose an M&M at random, the probability of getting, say, a brown M&M is equal to the proportion of M&M's that are brown (0.30).
Figure 2. Distribution of all M&M's.
Notice that the distributions in Figures 1 and 2 are not identical. Figure 1 portrays the distribution in a sample of 55 M&M's. Figure 2 shows the proportions for all M&M's. Chance factors involving the machines used by the manufacturer introduce random variation into the different bags produced. Some bags will have a distribution of colors that is close to Figure 2; others will be further away.
Continuous Variables
The variable "color of M&M" used in this example is a discrete variable, and its distribution is also called discrete. Let us now extend the concept of a distribution to continuous variables.
The data shown in Table 2 are the times it took one of us (DL) to move the cursor over a small target in a series of 20 trials. The times are sorted from shortest to longest. The variable "time to respond" is a continuous variable. With time measured accurately (to many decimal places), no two response times would be expected to be the same. Measuring time in milliseconds (thousandths of a second) is often precise enough to approximate a continuous variable in psychology. As you can see in Table 2, measuring DL's responses this way produced times no two of which were the same. As a result, a frequency distribution would be uninformative: it would consist of the 20 times in the experiment, each with a frequency of 1.
Table 2. Response Times
The solution to this problem is to create a grouped frequency distribution. In a grouped frequency distribution, scores falling within various ranges are tabulated. Table 3 shows a grouped frequency distribution for these 20 times.
Table 3. Grouped frequency distribution
Grouped frequency distributions can be portrayed graphically. Figure 3 shows a graphical representation of the frequency distribution in Table 3. This kind of graph is called a histogram. A later chapter contains an entire section devoted to histograms.
Figure 3. A histogram of the grouped frequency distribution shown in Table 3. The labels on the X-axis are the middle values of the range they represent.
Probability Densities
The histogram in Figure 3 portrays just DL's 20 times in the one experiment he performed. To represent the probability associated with an arbitrary movement (which can take any positive amount of time), we must represent all these potential times at once. For this purpose, we plot the distribution for the continuous variable of time. Distributions for continuous variables are called continuous distributions. They also carry the fancier name probability density. Some probability densities have particular importance in statistics. A very important one is shaped like a bell, and called the normal distribution. Many naturally-occurring phenomena can be approximated surprisingly well by this distribution. It will serve to illustrate some features of all continuous distributions.
An example of a normal distribution is shown in Figure 4. Do you see the "bell"? The normal distribution doesn't represent a real bell, however, since the left and right tips extend indefinitely (we can't draw them any further so they look like they've stopped in our diagram). The Y-axis in the normal distribution represents the "density of probability." Intuitively, it shows the chance of obtaining values near corresponding points on the X-axis. In Figure 4, for example, the probability of an observation with value near 40 is about half of the probability of an observation with value near 50. (For more information, please see the chapter on normal distributions.)
Although this text does not discuss the concept of probability density in detail, you should keep the following ideas in mind about the curve that describes a continuous distribution (like the normal distribution). First, the area under the curve equals 1. Second, the probability of any exact value of X is 0. Finally, the area under the curve and bounded between two given points on the X-axis is the probability that a number chosen at random will fall between the two points. Let us illustrate with DL's hand movements. First, the probability that his movement takes some amount of time is one! (We exclude the possibility of him never finishing his gesture.) Second, the probability that his movement takes exactly 598.956432342346576 milliseconds is essentially zero. (We can make the probability as close as we like to zero by making the time measurement more and more precise.) Finally, suppose that the probability of DL's movement taking between 600 and 700 milliseconds is one tenth. Then the continuous distribution for DL's possible times would have a shape that places 10% of the area below the curve in the region bounded by 600 and 700 on the X-axis.
Figure 4. A normal distribution.
Shapes of Distributions
Distributions have different shapes; they don't all look like the normal distribution in Figure 4. For example, the normal probability density is higher in the middle compared to its two tails. Other distributions need not have this feature. There is even variation among the distributions that we call "normal." For example, some normal distributions are more spread out than the one shown in Figure 4 (their tails begin to hit the X-axis further from the middle of the curve -- for example, at 10 and 90 if drawn in place of Figure 4). Others are less spread out (their tails might approach the X-axis at 30 and 70). More information on the normal distribution can be found in a later chapter completely devoted to them.
The distribution shown in Figure 4 is symmetric; if you folded it in the middle, the two sides would match perfectly. Figure 5 shows the discrete distribution of scores on a psychology test. This distribution is not symmetric: the tail in the positive direction extends further than the tail in the negative direction. A distribution with the longer tail extending in the positive direction is said to have a positive skew. It is also described as "skewed to the right."
Figure 5. A distribution with a positive skew.
Figure 6 shows the salaries of major league baseball players in 1974 (in thousands of dollars). This distribution has an extreme positive skew.
Figure 6. A distribution with a very large positive skew.
A continuous distribution with a positive skew is shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. A continuous distribution with a positive skew.
Although less common, some distributions have a negative skew. Figure 8 shows the scores on a 20-point problem on a statistics exam. Since the tail of the distribution extends to the left, this distribution is skewed to the left.
Figure 8. A distribution with negative skew. This histogram shows the frequencies of various scores on a 20-point question on a statistics test.
A continuous distribution with a negative skew is shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. A continuous distribution with a negative skew.
The distributions shown so far all have one distinct high point or peak. The distribution in Figure 10 has two distinct peaks. A distribution with two peaks is called a bimodal distribution.
Figure 10. Frequencies of times between eruptions of the
Old Faithful geyser. Notice the two distinct peaks: one at
1.75 and the other at 4.25.
Distributions also differ from each other in terms of how large or "fat" their tails are. Figure 11 shows two distributions that differ in this respect. The upper distribution has relatively more scores in its tails; its shape is called leptokurtic. The lower distribution has relatively fewer scores in its tails; its shape is called platykurtic.
Figure 11. Distributions differing in kurtosis. The top
distribution has long tails. It is called "leptokurtic."
The bottom distribution has short tails. It is called
"platykurtic."

Mother Teresa Delivers A Speech At The Stadium at UMass Amherst on June 22, 1985

Teresa's Sainthood Leads To Name Change At A Berkshire County Church
by: Carrie Healy September 2, 2016
A Catholic Church in the Berkshire County village of Housatonic will be renamed this weekend, when Mother Teresa of Calcutta becomes a saint.
In Western Massachusetts, two local parishes that merged seven years ago will mark the event unlike others in the Springfield Diocese. Bishop Mitchell Rozanski explained the name change from Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
"Their patron is now fully made a saint, and they can now be called, officially, Saint Teresa of Calcutta," he said this week.
Bishop Rozanski of the Springfield Diocese will lead Mass at the Housatonic Church on Saturday night.
Though best known for her with the poor in India, the nun also pointed out a "spiritual poverty" in the United States.
"It's not just on the streets of Calcutta," Rozanski said. "It comes in many forms."
Thirty-one years ago, the Roman Catholic nun and missionary delivered that message at UMass Amherst on June 22, 1985.
"Homelessness is not only a home made of bricks, being rejected, unwanted, unloved, a throwaway of society, but that you find even in the most rich countries," she said.
Pope Francis will canonize Teresa on Sunday morning in Rome.

Establishment Democrats Are Looking For A "Savior" To Enter The Race, But Will They Give Us A Devil Instead?
Establishment Democrats are becoming extremely nervous, because they are starting to realize that the field of candidates currently running for the Democratic nomination is exceedingly weak. The campaign is nearly a year old, there have been nationally televised debates month after month, and at this point only three candidates in the field have any chance of winning. All of the other candidates have completely flopped, and establishment Democrats are deeply concerned about the weaknesses of the three candidates that are still standing. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are considered to be way too liberal to win a general election, and Joe Biden has been slipping in the polls and his fundraising numbers have been absolutely terrible. With just a few months left until voting begins, many establishment Democrats are now desperate for a "savior" to come along and bail them out, and that could potentially result in a very familiar name entering the race.
This cycle more Democrats have run for president than ever before, and at first it seemed like at least a few of them would generate a significant level of enthusiasm. But now that it is clear that it is a three way race between Biden, Warren and Sanders, key Democratic operatives all over the country are evaluating whether there are other options. The following originally comes from the New York Times…
When a half-dozen Democratic donors gathered at the Whitby Hotel in Manhattan last week, the dinner began with a discussion of which presidential candidates the contributors liked. But as conversations among influential Democrats often go these days, the meeting quickly evolved into a discussion of who was not in the race — but could be lured in.
What Democrats care about more than anything else is beating Donald Trump in November 2020, and right now there are serious doubts about those that are leading the race.
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod put it this way…
"With Trump looming, there is genuine concern that the horse many have bet on may be pulling up lame and the horse who has sprinted out front may not be able to win," said David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Barack Obama.
Of course the horse that is "pulling up lame" is Joe Biden. For most of the race he was leading in the polls, but recently his numbers have been falling and his fundraising has been abysmal. The following comes from Vanity Fair…
While Vice President Joe Biden may still be the front-runner in the 2020 polls, he's falling woefully behind when it comes to campaign cash. New campaign finance filings released Tuesday reveal that while the 2020 candidate took in $15.7 million in the third quarter, Biden's campaign only has $8.9 million on hand going into the fourth quarter. And with the Iowa caucuses rapidly approaching in February, his donors are reportedly starting to get nervous about Uncle Joe making it to the finish line.
Biden's third quarter cash haul falls far behind his fellow top-tier 2020 candidates. Senator Bernie Sanders took in $25.3 million and has $33.7 million cash on hand, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Biden's closest rival in the polls, took in $24.7 million and has $25.7 million on hand. Though slightly further down in the polls, Mayor Pete Buttigieg was one of the top third-quarter fundraisers with $19.2 million and $23.4 million on hand.
Biden's pitiful fundraising haul is yet another indication of the lack of enthusiasm surrounding his campaign.
People that give money to campaigns generally do so because they truly believe in the candidate that they are giving money to.
But throughout his political career, Biden has never been able to generate much national enthusiasm, and the same thing is true today.
And if Biden is really struggling to raise money now, how in the world is he going to compete with Trump's fundraising machine in the general election?
Top Democrats all over the nation are talking about these things, and many of them are intent on finding a "savior" that can rescue them from the potential disaster that they see looming in November 2020.
In recent days, two of the biggest names that are being thrown around are Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg.
Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Bloomberg have both told people privately in recent weeks that if they thought they could win, they would consider entering the primary — but that they were skeptical there would be an opening, according to Democrats who have spoken with them.
Bloomberg is an interesting figure, but the Democrats are simply not going to nominate a rich, white billionaire, and so he might as well forget it.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, would instantly become the front runner if she were to enter the race, and according to the Stamford Advocate she thinks about it "all the time"…
Those close to Clinton, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on her behalf, say she has felt vindicated over the past few weeks as Trump's political difficulties have deepened. That sentiment was reinforced this week when the State Department announced its probe into emails sent to a private server, a major complication of her 2016 campaign, found no evidence of deliberate mishandling of classified information by department employees.
"Ultimately, it's unlikely she would do it," said one person who has spoken with her. "But put it this way: It ain't zero. And does she think about it all the time? Absolutely."
This month, Hillary Clinton has been all over the mainstream media, and she has been frequently asked about the 2020 race.
In response, she has repeatedly stated that she is not endorsing any of the current candidates, and she has refused to shoot down the persistent rumors that she may enter the race herself.
For example, at the latest stop on her "book tour" she had every opportunity to say that she was not running, but instead she seemed to welcome the speculation…
"All that matters is that we win," Clinton told Strayed. "I hate to be so, you know, simplistic about it. We have to nominate (cough) … the best …
"You!" someone shouted from the audience, drawing a big smile and laugh from Clinton.
She didn't disavow the idea.
"Oh, my. Well, thank you," Clinton said. "I just feel so strongly that, look, I just want to say a little bit more about this, because what's going on now with the impeachment inquiry is not a choice it was an obligation under the Constitution."
You can watch her making these remarks on video right here.
And then on Tuesday, Clinton sparked even more speculation when she shared a very cryptic quote from Beyonce on Instagram…
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday kicked up more 2020 buzz after posting a quote from pop megastar Beyoncé about the need to take power, praising the sentiment and adding, "Beyoncé speaks the truth."
The failed presidential candidate posted the quote from the "Halo" singer on Instagram on Tuesday. It read, "Power's not given to you. You have to take it."
@Beyonce speaks the truth.  #GutsyWomen
A post shared by Hillary Clinton (@hillaryclinton) on Oct 22, 2019 at 10:03am PDT
Clinton's post has received more than 53,000 likes so far, and most of the candidates currently in the Democratic field would kill for that sort of enthusiasm.
And when asked about a potential rematch with Trump during a recent appearance on PBS Newshour, Clinton responded by saying that "maybe there does need to be a rematch – I mean obviously I can beat him again".
Of course that could only happen if Trump actually makes it to the 2020 election. After the Democrat-controlled House impeaches Trump, there will be a trial in the U.S. Senate, and many experts are assuming that the Republican-controlled Senate will protect Trump and keep him in office.
But when the Daily Caller recently contacted every Republican in the Senate, only 7 of them said that they have ruled out voting to remove President Trump from office.
Only 7 out of 53.
I am extremely concerned about what is going to happen in the Senate, because removing Trump from office would throw our entire country into a state of chaos.
And with our nation in a state of chaos, it would be the perfect opportunity for the most evil politician of our generation to step forward and pick up the pieces.

UK NEWS: JUDGE RUGBY TACKLES RAPIST TRYING TO FLEE FROM COURT
By Janice aka Miss Mad News on March 10, 2011
Serial Rapist Paul Reid
Via The Evening Standard
The judge who rugby-tackled a convicted rapist as he tried to escape from his court said he would not think twice about doing it again.
Judge Douglas Marks Moore, 61, leapt from the bench in his wig and robes to stop Paul Reid's fourth escape attempt.
The serial sex attacker was in the middle of a rape trial when he was apprehended by the judge, who is a former Irish guardsman.
Judge Marks Moore played down his courtroom bravery but said: "I would not hesitate to do it again. You cannot allow a person who has escaped in the past and raped someone to escape again without trying to stop him.
"It doesn't matter if you are a judge or not. You are just doing the right thing. It was a case of basically ensuring this man was stopped."
Reid was set to be sentenced today. He was first convicted of rape aged 21 in 1997 after he held a pillow over a teenage girl's mouth to stifle her screams and was sent to a young offender institute for six years. Continue Reading….
Where was the scum bag running too? How far did he think he would get?
The judge should have snuck in one swift punch to his head after tackling him down to the ground.

It is not uncommon to be filled with questions after an arrest, and in fact, that is why King Law is here. The firm stands ready to answer any questions that you may have regarding your offense, the penalties you may be facing, and what the best legal option to take can be for you. At King Law, the firm establishes effective communication with clients, and when you retain the representation of the attorney from the firm, you are provided with their direct cell phone number.
After reading through some of the most commonly asked questions regarding criminal defense, if you find that you still are seeking answers, do not hesitate to contact a Rochester criminal defense lawyer from the firm today!
What is going to happen in my case?
There are a lot of different factors that may determine the outcome of your case, and when you contact a lawyer, you can get a better idea of how your case may turn out. Your charges, the evidence against you, the location and circumstances of your arrest, the prosecutor and your defense can all contribute to the direction that your case may take.
No one read me my rights; does this matter?
With every case, there are certain factors that may determine the overall outcome of your case. If you were not read your rights, there are a few things that the firm will look at: Did you make an incriminating statement? Were you interrogated while in police custody? If so, the statement may be kept out of court. In some situations, not being read your rights can act in your favor, but it is important that you speak with an attorney first.
Should I explain my side of the story to the police?
No, it is not recommended. Law enforcement officials are gathering evidence all the time, and statements by the defendants are used against them every single day. If you are approached by a law enforcement officer, ask them courteously if you are free to leave. If not, tell them you would like to speak immediately to your lawyer and contact Attorney Robert King.
If I am arrested for a DWI, should I take a breath test?
A breath test makes the case against you stronger if you are actually over the legal blood alcohol content limit of 0.08 percent; however, if you choose not to take the test, the Department of Motor Vehicles can take away your license to drive for refusing the test. If there is a serious motor vehicle accident involved in your case, or any type of injury or death, you may be facing charges other than a driving while intoxicated. In that case, taking the test is not wise. In some cases, however, taking the test will likely allow for a hardship or conditional license while your case is pending.
How long will the criminal process take?
Each case is unique to the individuals involved, and an attorney can help you determine how long your particular situation may take. Scheduling is left up to the judge, and the court system can be slow. The average life of a case can be anywhere from six to nine months, with some exceptions. Working with a lawyer can help ensure that you have all proper paperwork completed on time and ensure that process is as streamlined as possible.
Fees in criminal cases depend on the intricacies and particular issues of each case. There may be legal fees, court fees and attorney fees. When you work with an attorney at the firm, they meet with you for free and set a price based on the unique circumstances of your case.
I have not been arrested yet, but the police are looking at me. What should I do?
If you have not been arrested but you are aware that you are being investigated, it is important that you immediately contact an attorney. When you work with King Law prior to an arrest, you can gain critical access to witnesses and prevent mistakes that could put you at risk in the future. The communication you have with your attorney will be protected, and you can ensure that you are taking the rights steps to protect your freedom.
What are my rights at a police stop?
When you are stopped by police, it is important that you know your rights and exercise them efficiently. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. If you are arrested, you can politely inform the arresting officer that you are choosing to remain silent before you speak with an attorney. Even if you have already started talking, you can inform the officer that you are going to stop and then contact King Law as soon as possible.
Do I need to work with an attorney?
Yes! Every criminal charge has the potential for jail or prison time. Even if you do not go to trial, you need a lawyer to fight for you. Do not leave your future and freedoms up to chance. You need to immediately retain the representation of a dedicated lawyer from King Law right away. By retaining the firm, you can rest assured that your case will be in good hands. Contact the firm today by completing a free case evaluation form on the website. When the form has been submitted, a representative from King Law will be in touch with you shortly.

Cube i7 CM Specifications:-Chinese device maker Cube offers a range of tablets with Android, Windows, or both. Now the company's launching its first tablet running Ubuntu Linux.The Cube i7-CM is a tablet with an Intel Core M processor Canonical's Linux-based operating system.It launches in China this week.Cube i7 is the first tablet PC of Cube with an Intel Core-M 2.0 GHz CPU and a 11.6 inch huge size screen.
Like a lot of Chinese phone makers,Cube has recently switched their focus away from the domestic phone market and are readying a new range of devices for international sale.
Cube is one of those chinese manufacturers that are producing more and more devices in the past months, so it got our attention. After reviewing their premium looking Cube and finding out that it is quite good offering for the price, we have decided to take a look at another device produced by the manufacturer.The company has joined hands with Meizu and Zopo, all chinese local companies who are into the smart phone industry in china for a long time.
By now, most of you will know that most Chinese handsets come dirt-cheap, even if they're filled to the brim with flagship-level hardware. Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei – all three of those offer exactly that and you can usually rest assured that you're getting a quality handset. But there are also smaller companies that still offer you that, and there's no other as recent example of that as the just-announced Cube i7 CM.
To have details about each and every content then lets jump to Cube i7 CM Specifications,Cube i7 CM price,Cube i7 CM Specifications pros and cons.
Cube i7 CM features a 11.6 inch 1920×1080 pixels screen with full viewing angle and OGS technology to provide more outstanding image, more real color, more uniform response speed and give you better experience.The dimensions of theTablet are 297x180x9.1mm.Cube i7 uses HD Graphics 5300 graphics processor which the highest frequency reaches 850MHz, supports Direct 11 technology.
Cube i7 CM comes in with a TPU gel case to protect your device from drops. A very nice addition by the manufacturer. The case seems to be made out of a decent quality materials, it is easy to install and remove it.On the back there is a camera sensor with dual LED (single tone) flash.
The device is powered by the Intel's 14nm Core M-5Y10C dual-core processor with Intel HD 5300 graphics. That's the same chip found in the Asus Zenbook UX305.It runs on Window 8.1/Ubuntu out of the box with the aid of 4GB RAM , not far enough as other smartphones in this android world will offers you with more space and features with 64 GB internal storage out of the box and can expendable upto 128 GB.The i7-CM offers equally as many connectivity options as the original i7, you get a Micro USB 3.0 port, a 3.5mm audio jack, a Micro HDMI port, a Micro SD card slot and a Micro SIM card slot.
Although the internal storage has been cut down to 64GB, the i7-CM still features an SSD SATA3 drive, much better than the eMMc storage used in PIPO's RMB2699 ($435) Core-M tablet. Unlike the original Cube i7, which supports both TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE 4G networks, the i7-CM only supports 3G network (WCDMA/GSM).  What we really want to address here is that the i7-CM doesn't come with a licensed Windows 8.1 OS like the original i7 does, instead it runs Ubuntu OS or a trail version of Windows 8.1 on top.
The device is fitted with the front and the rear camera. The front snapper is of 2 mega pixel and the rear camera has 5 mega pixel zoom with a dual LED flash and auto focus technology.

Russian Strikes Hit Western Ukraine as Offensive Widens: Officials
March 11, 2022Russia–Ukraine War

Russian airstrikes intensified on Friday in western Ukraine as satellite footage suggested Moscow's forces outside Kyiv have regrouped after remaining more than a week outside the city.
Airstrikes hit the Lutsk airfield that left two Ukrainian servicemen dead and six people wounded, the head of the Volyn region, Yuriy Pohulyayko, told media outlets a statement.
The strikes also targeted an airport near Ivano-Frankiivsk, where residents were ordered to shelters after an air raid alert, Mayor Ruslan Martsinkiv said on social media.
"Explosions were heard in Frankivsk. The military and the State Emergency Service are working. Details will be released later! React to sirens," he wrote Friday.
Russia's Ministry of Defense confirmed to local media that its strikes hit both Lutsk's airfield and an airfield in Ivano-Frankiivsk. Both are located in western Ukraine, which has remained relatively unscathed since the start of the Feb. 24 conflict started.
"On the morning of March 11, long-range high-precision weapons struck the military infrastructure of Ukraine. Military airfields in Lutsk and Ivano-Frankivsk have been shut down," Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said, according to Ukrinform.
It comes as the reported 40-mile-long Russian military convoy outside Kyiv appeared to regroup, according to satellite footage posted by Maxar Technologies. Armored units were seen in towns near the Antonov Airport north of the city. Some vehicles moved into forests, Maxar reported, with towed howitzers nearby in position to open fire, the company told AP.
Former heavyweight boxing champion Vladimir Klitschko, a member of Ukraine's territorial defense forces and also the brother of Kyiv's mayor, told CNN that Russian forces have been attacking areas across Ukraine on Friday. But their main target, he said, is Kyiv.
"In the next upcoming days, we're expecting significant attack on the capital. They are regrouping. They're trying to find different strategies and trying to find the right way and the right timing. So every hour counts, and then we're expecting an attack on the capital at any moment, especially, as I said, the next coming days. Their target is the capital," Klitschko said. He did not elaborate on why he believes that.
Ukraine's military has a "lot of … military equipment, we'll do anything possible, we're trying to outsmart the Russian army as much as we can," he told the news outlet.
"I don't know how long we're going to hold up, but we're going to hold up as long as we can. What's really necessary is international support. You guys need to isolate Russia and [the] Russian economy," he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukrainian forces had "reached a strategic turning point," speaking in a video outside the presidential administration in Kyiv.
"It's impossible to say how many days we will still need to free our land, but it is possible to say that we will do it because … we have reached a strategic turning point," he said, without elaborating on what that may be.

Christianity as a Necessary Foundation for White Nationalism, Part 4: Anti-Judaism
by Nil Desperandum
Part 1: Morality
Part 2: The Glory of God
Part 3: Design, Order, and Kinds
A multitude of white nationalists today, in seeking to increase their people's birthrate and the overall influence and autonomy of European peoples in the world today, grasp that one of the clear and present dangers to our racial group stems from Jewish hegemony in the West. It is not a coincidence, they realize, that names like Bernanke, Blankfein, Goldstein, Ovitz, Rosenberg, Sulzberger, Weinstein, and Zuckerman belong to men in positions of power and authority, and that the country is startlingly pro-Israel and morally decadent. None other than a Stein even admits that his people run Hollywood.1 Naturally, white nationalists find this problematic, as should anyone else who understands the curse and effects of foreign usurpation and domination (Deut. 28:43).
But these same white nationalists fall into error when they suppose that Christianity—rather than Judeo-Christianity, as is the current mutilated title—is a Jewish deception, used for the same ends of psychological and sociological coercion as other ideologies the media and public schools disseminate. They might take the otherwise mindless anti-racist retort, "Jesus was a Jew," holding it as genuine grounds to reject Christianity. Or they might have a more sophisticated articulation of how the universality of Christian love logically leads to the same egalitarian and suicidal altruism which is accepted by whites and promulgated, albeit hypocritically, by Jewish-controlled and Jewish-influenced institutions. Whatever their peculiar reasoning, it would be helpful for them to understand the historic anti-Judaism of the Christian Church and follow the King of kings as "he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God" (Rev. 19:15).
Preliminary Considerations
This article will be different from the other three guiding white nationalists to Christ. The other three are about broader theological or philosophical principles, seeking to demonstrate the truthfulness of theism as well as its necessity unto the meaningfulness of white nationalist goals. They aim to demonstrate and support theism, which indirectly supports Christianity as the rational option given the theistic alternatives. This article, by contrast, will concern itself chiefly with historical data and specifics of the Christian religion. While the other three should lend support to Christianity by supporting theism, this one directly and explicitly supports Christianity from the premise of anti-Judaism.
Second, any comprehensive discussions of Jewish people would need to include not only their religion, but also their ethnic composition. Jewishness is generally emphasized as an ethno-religious identity, and therefore understanding the competing claims to true Hebrew identity2 and identifying the genuine descendants of Jacob are vital areas of study. However, since I lack the time, space, and acumen to dissect that matter appropriately, and since the topic has been covered elsewhere, I will simply refer to those whom we commonly identify as Jews today, including their support for Judaism and/or Israel and their self-identification as a definitively demarcated and cohesive ethnic group.
Modern Senselessness Notwithstanding
The central impetus driving unbelieving white nationalists to identify Christianity as foundationally Jewish, no doubt, is the asininity of the modern Christian "church" with its worship of Israel and its betrayal of white Gentile interests. Too many Christians are mindless zombies in their obedience to a falsely constructed anti-biblical ethic of egalitarianism and pietism. Genuflecting toward all other racial groups, but having no pride in their own people, modern believers are an embarrassment to anyone with a modicum of awareness of the zeitgeist. These Christians, rather than perceiving anti-Judaism in Christ's censure of the Pharisees, treat any Christians who are willing to pray imprecatory prayers, or who care about stringently following God's law and believing His doctrine, or who are just plain meanies, as the real Pharisees. Further sanctified Christians ought to be patient and loving in correcting these errant believers, to be sure, but nonetheless one can understand the moral ire which racial realists harbor towards them.
In any case, it should be evident to the honest non-Christian nationalist that these aberrations of biblical religion do not serve to refute the proper expression of it. If we apprehend the enormous extent to which so much of our society has been corrupted, we should not be surprised to learn that our churches are corrupt as well. But truth is eternal, and we should seek to identify those timeless principles which are themselves immune to corruption. Though the purification of the church is a tall order we Christians must undertake, for now we must realize that the present corruption of the church does not have evidentiary value in refuting Christianity. In sum: we are as indignant about the church as you are.
Old Testament Objections
The response that corrupted institutions do not nullify true religion might not convince the unbelieving nationalist who finds in Scripture principles which inevitably justify Jewish supremacy. He might cite the Old Testament passages permitting the Israelites to commit genocide in obliterating the nations of Canaan (e.g. Deut. 7:1-5; 20:16-18). Giving such a clear privilege to one nation, so clearly exalting them to the point that there apparently is no golden rule between them and other nations, is a perfect recipe for Jewish domination and ascendancy. If Jewish people are allowed to destroy nations which seem to be opposed to them, and if they do so backed by the authority of God Himself, then they are seemingly justified in doing whatever they want. Passages permitting genocide remove any barriers and inhibitions from any goal the Jewish people may seek for themselves, it is argued. If a Gentile gets in the way of these plans, so much the worse for him. Of course, the Bible-believer might try to say that genocide was permissible only in that context, but how can the universal and eternal principles of morality be so egregiously modified?
The true answer is that such a circumstance-specific qualification would not be contrary to fundamental principles of morality. All proper minds can concede the basic premise that God, being Lord and Owner of all, can righteously take life entirely as He pleases. He is not obliged to preserve the lives of sinners, but could justly destroy every single man, woman, and child at any moment. In fact, for those without the covering of Christ's righteousness, perdition is imminent and looming. But if we concede this premise, then we can also concede that, if He wanted, God could employ human means in bringing about any punishments He wanted. It is God's prerogative to take life as He pleases, and it is likewise His prerogative to use humans to accomplish whatever ends He so pleases. This entails not that humans are ever permitted to murder, but merely that certain acts, which would be murderous in ordinary circumstances, are not murderous if one has supernaturally received extraordinary authority from God Himself. In other words, the moral law teaches that, by default (i.e. without having received any authority from God), a man may not kill another apart from self-defense or the execution of justice. Yet God can dispense authority to slay. This is what He did with Abraham when He commanded him to sacrifice Isaac, even though that was revoked in time to save Isaac's life. This is also what God does in granting certain political rulers the authority to bear the sword for the punishment of evildoers (Rom. 13:4), as well as in granting citizens the right to rebel against tyrants.3 The delegation of authority to act in ways forbidden to those without authority is a perfectly intelligible concept; and it is easy to see that such authority-delegation is clearly limited for certain people to certain times and certain places. The same would apply to ancient Israel: they were given extraordinary authority to serve as instruments of God's wrath in punishing Canaanites, but this assuredly does not entail some carte blanche for Jewish supremacy today over just any Gentile ethnic or racial group. God's Word provides nothing resembling warrant for such a heresy.
Objections aside, a proper biblical understanding of Israel positively forbids any possibility of Jewish preeminence. St. Paul makes it clear that all men, Jew and Gentile alike, are under sin (Rom. 3:9ff.), emphasizing the need for "the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe" (Rom. 3:22). Even though he mentions his affinity for his Israelite kinsmen (Rom. 9:3), Paul nevertheless states this in the context of their status as unregenerate. Far from being especially privileged by God, Jews will be damned and trampled underfoot if they do not repent.
After concluding in Romans 9 that salvation comes not by blood but by God's sovereign choice, and in Romans 10 that the sine qua non of salvation is the profession of Christ, Paul makes a bold comment in Romans 11 that "all Israel will be saved" (v. 26). Many Christians, including many great, orthodox Christians, have held that this passage foresees a great conversion of Jewish people to true biblical religion in the future. I dissent from this opinion, partly because I think there is great confusion on the true identity of the genetic descendants of Jacob, but mostly because I doubt the text supports the ethnic-Israel interpretation.4 Yet, whatever one believes about the fulfillment of Romans 11:26, Paul makes a key point in Romans 11 that is a bane to Jews: Israel was "cut off" from God's covenant due to her unbelief (vv. 19-22). The grand fulfillment of this covenantal divorce came in A.D. 70, when Jesus Christ poured judgment upon Jerusalem, utilizing the pagan Roman army as His instrument.
Paul wrote at length of how he, as a Jewish man himself, should understand that God has apparently cut off the nation to whom He has made promises of everlasting love (e.g., Psalm 94:14). But in answering this objection, he at no point asserts that Jews retain any special privilege over Gentiles in God's electing love. He asserts that Israel was indeed blessed by God as recipients of the ancient oracles of God and as the source of Jesus the Messiah (Romans 9:4-5), but he now affirms that the members of the church, a multinational (because worldwide) entity composed of all those who bend the knee of Lord Jesus, are, as those circumcised in heart and not necessarily in the flesh, the true Israel (Romans 2:28-29), that is, the true object of God's affection and love. Modern-day Israel is not this true Israel, especially insofar as it continues to resist Jesus's lordly claims, and as such it, on rudimentary Christian principles, Israel carries no special claim to God's favor or privilege. On the contrary, while impenitent, they abide under His wrath.
Further Biblical Testimony
A proper understanding of covenant theology helps one to understand that the Jews have no special privilege before God, but need to repent and believe as all the rest. Yet a further perusal of Holy Writ can help us to see that, as a people, Jews are also to be viewed as especially dangerous and cruel. As mentioned earlier, Jesus's words against the Pharisees are exceptionally well-known. He reserved nothing but the harshest of words for them; His verbal castigations fill Matthew 23 to the brim. In addition, we read in Matthew 27:25 that the Jews, in pursuing the Messiah's murder, were even willing to affirm the guilt of their deed for their posterity. And from these preliminary passages, it must be asked: how ought Christians to deal with those who accept a religion which has amplified and multiplied its blasphemies since the time of Christ? How ought we to treat those who revere the Pharisees as their spiritual forefathers and who obey the rabbinic tradition of the wicked Talmud? Even if there were no genetic link between Jews in Christ's time and those who call themselves Jews today, their affirmation of the same repulsive tradition is enough to generate substantial moral skepticism.
Going even further, the apostle John records Jesus's excoriation of the Jews in chapter 8 of his gospel, where Christ calls them sons of Satan. This parallels His words for Jews in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9, where He calls their places of worship "synagogues of Satan." And in addition to the excruciating words of the Lord, St. Paul speaks of those "of the circumcision" as ones who subvert households and attempt to acquire filthy lucre (Titus 1:10-11). He similarly unleashes sweepingly condemnatory words for them in his first epistle to the Thessalonian church:
14 For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, 16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost (2:14-16).
It is because of language like this that the New Testament can be openly denounced as anti-Semitic;5 and it is because of open accusations of anti-Semitism that Christianity clearly is anti-Judaic. Scripture presents the Jewish people as a dangerous population, conspiring to kill Jesus (e.g. Mark 11:18) and plotting to incite violence and murder throughout the book of Acts (4:15-17; 5:33; 6:11; 9:23-24; 17:5; 20:3, 19; 23:12-13). Christianity therefore must be utterly perverted to become what it is today. But if one is looking for good reasons to oppose corrosive, Jewish-inspired culture-destruction, Christianity certainly provides the proper and true basis.
The Testimony of Past Saints
The accusations of anti-Semitism extend also to the practices and statements of Christians throughout church history, of which I will provide some cursory examples. It would first be profitable to view some statements of the early church fathers. Ignatius of Antioch (A.D. 35-108), for example, stated, "For if we still live according to the Jewish law, we acknowledge that we have not received grace. . . . It is absurd to profess Christ Jesus, and to Judaize. For Christianity did not embrace Judaism, but Judaism Christianity."6 Similarly, Justin Martyr (A.D. 103-165) wrote a dialogue with a Jewish man named Trypho, in which he said the following:
For the circumcision according to the flesh, which is from Abraham, was given for a sign; that you may be separated from other nations, and from us; and that you alone may suffer that which you now justly suffer; and that your land may be desolate, and your cities burned with fire; and that strangers may eat your fruit in your presence, and not one of you may go up to Jerusalem. . . . Accordingly, these things have happened to you in fairness and justice, for you have slain the Just One, and His prophets before Him; and now you reject those who hope in Him, and in Him who sent Him—God the Almighty and Maker of all things—cursing in your synagogues those that believe in Christ. . . .
For other nations have not inflicted on us and on Christ this wrong to such an extent as you have, who in very deed are the authors of the wicked prejudice against the Just One, and us who hold by Him. For after that you had crucified Him, the only blameless and righteous Man—through whose stripes those who approach the Father by Him are healed—when you knew that He had risen from the dead and ascended to heaven, as the prophets foretold He would, you not only did not repent of the wickedness which you had committed, but at that time you selected and sent out from Jerusalem chosen men through all the land to tell that the godless heresy of the Christians had sprung up, and to publish those things which all they who knew us not speak against us. So that you are the cause not only of your own unrighteousness, but in fact of that of all other men.7
Augustine (A.D. 354-430) also speaks of the Jewish people as accursed:
[T]he voice of God in the Holy Scriptures accuses the Jews. For the blood of Christ has a loud voice on the earth, when the responsive Amen of those who believe in Him comes from all nations. . . .
So the unbelieving people of the Jews is cursed from the earth, that is, from the Church, which in the confession of sins has opened its mouth to receive the blood shed for the remission of sins by the hand of the people that would not be under grace, but under the law. . . . [T]he Church admits and avows the Jewish people to be cursed.8
Perhaps the most emphatic and forceful father to oppose Judaism was John Chrysostom (A.D. 347-407):
But the synagogue is not only a brothel and a theater; it also is a den of robbers and a lodging for wild beasts. . . . Indeed the synagogue is less deserving of honor than any inn. It is not merely a lodging place for robbers and cheats but also for demons. This is true not only of the synagogues but also of the souls of the Jews. . . . Here the slayers of Christ gather together, here the cross is driven out, here God is blasphemed, here the Father is ignored, here the Son is outraged, here the grace of the Spirit is rejected. Does not greater harm come from this place since the Jews themselves are demons? . . .
The Jews [are] the most miserable and wretched of all men. . . . The difference between the Jews and us [is] not a small one, is it? Is the dispute between us over ordinary, everyday matters, so that you think the two religions are really one and the same? Why are you mixing what cannot be mixed? They crucified the Christ whom you adore as God. Do you see how great the difference is? . . .
But after [Christ] died on the cross, he then destroyed your city; it was then that he dispersed your people; it was then that he scattered your nation over the face of the earth. In doing this, he teaches us that he is risen, alive, and in heaven. . . . For God did not threaten that he will forgive the sins of the Jews but that he will execute vengeance upon [them].9
Other church fathers provide similar attestation, but I think such a sample is sufficient. It would also be beneficial to note an influential medieval thinker. Thomas Aquinas, in a letter to Margaret of Flanders, asserted that the Jews possessed "nothing except what they acquired through the depravity of usury," in which case their stolen property should be expropriated and distributed to the robbed Gentiles.10 Many popes could also be cited for their edicts and behavior, as they reflected the disposition of the Catholic Church in general.11 Last but not least would be Martin Luther's famous treatise, On the Jews and Their Lies:
No human reason nor any human heart will ever grant [Christian doctrines], much less the embittered, venomous, blind heart of the Jews. As has already been said, what God cannot reform with such cruel blows, we will be unable to change with words and works. Moses was unable to reform the Pharaoh by means of plagues, miracles, pleas, or threats; he had to let him drown in the sea. . . .
[T]he Jews will not give up their pride and boasting about their nobility and lineage. As was said above, their hearts are hardened. Our people, however, must be on their guard against them, lest they be misled by this impenitent, accursed people who give God the lie and haughtily despise all the world. . . .
By virtue of such futile, arrogant circumcision in the flesh they presume to be God's only people, until the foreskin of their heart has become thicker than an iron mountain and they can no longer hear, see, or feel their own clear Scripture, which they read daily with blind eyes overgrown with a pelt thicker than the bark of an oak tree. . . .
Alas, it cannot be anything but the terrible wrath of God which permits anyone to sink into such abysmal, devilish, hellish, insane baseness, and arrogance. If I were to avenge myself on the devil himself I should be unable to wish him such evil and misfortune as God's wrath inflicts on the Jews, compelling them to lie and to blaspheme so monstrously, in violation of their own conscience. Anyway, they have their reward for constantly giving God the lie.12
The presence of anti-Jewish art in church history, such as Ecclesia et Synagoga,13 nicely supplements the testimony of these prominent Christian figures. If the church has so consistently opposed Jewish influence and their devastating religion from the early church onward, certainly it is not the case that Christianity is in principle a religion that promotes Jewish supremacy. On the contrary, Christ's religion stands as the most formidable and potent opponent of today's Jewish influence. White nationalists should know that if the church triumphant is clearly and uniformly this way, so also should the church militant be.
As befits the history of Christian-Jewish relations, Christianity is not an ideology constructed for the worship of the Jewish nation, but has only today been perverted into that monstrosity known as Judeo-Christianity. Though always tempering our interactions with love and a desire for the conversion of Jewish people, Christians ought to desire to resist Jewish influence and harbor moral skepticism towards confessions of Judaism. This perfectly makes sense of the Jewish corrosion of Western culture in recent times; white nationalists therefore have every reason to follow Christ in His plan for dominion. In this last installment of the series, I hope to have made that abundantly clear.
What is more, it would be foolish of white nationalists to deny Christianity if they wish to combat Jewish hegemony. Paganism has been shown to be weak and contrived, and all attempts to bring white nationalism into secularism would encounter thoroughgoing Jewish ideology: any endeavor to secularize society would thus require some sort of acceptance of Jewish influence. White nationalists therefore must either join Jewish activists in de-Christianizing the West, or follow Christ. Before such a King all should tremble, and to such a King all must repent.

Q: New Community Managers have no "staff" indicator in their profile Since July 2019, Employee profiles are now marked with a "Staff" indicator.
This worked well and people working for Stack Exchange back then indeed got the indicator, however looks like it stopped working at some point.
Both Ayo (started working at Stack Exchange a week ago) and Rosie (started working yesterday) have no staff indicator in their profiles. In case of Rosie it still might be some cache, but I doubt a whole week can be due to cache.
Can this please be fixed, or in case it's on purpose (I don't aspire to know why) can the decision please be reconsidered and staff indicator be given even to new employees? Having some with and some without is worse and more confusing than not having it at all, in my opinion.

I first heard of Millican Dalton nearly two decades ago.
Since then I have spent many nights by the fire in Englands most beautiful valley, Borrowdale, the home of Millican Dalton, The Keswick Caveman, The Monarch of the Valley, Professor of Adventure, Rock Climber and Mountain Guide.
It was on a trip to this valley while sitting by the warmth of the fire that I heard the name Millican Dalton. He had lived in a cave a little way north of the valley where I was camping that night.

In addition to their daily routines, our infants have a variety of programs including outdoor and indoor activities such as playing with new materials like non-toxic paint and participating in music and movement classes. The importance of communication between parents and staff is shown through a daily record of activities for each baby, including food intake and diaper routine, that is available for parents to review. Toddlers (24 months to 36 months): Our child care program offers 2 staff members who are highly qualified to care for children. Staff are engaged in a full curriculum to welcome the wonders that come with this age. The objective of this program is to teach children the basic rules and routines, while developing social skills and enjoying a variety of learning experiences. Children are introduced to practical life and sensory activities to develop motion control, respect for the environment, self-reliance and refine sensory perception. Children will also be introduced to concepts related to Language and Mathematics, using concrete materials. The Reggio Emilia approach is an integral part of this program that provides endless opportunities for children to explore creativity and imagination through long-term projects. Children (36 months to 48 months): Our child care program provides care for children 36 to 48 months of age, offering a challenging curriculum mixing both the Reggio Emilia method and the Methods Project approach to learning. This program expands on the first concepts of the project approach. Using a variety of materials, children absorb complex skills in Language Arts and Mathematics. Children continue to develop social skills as they participate in Methods Project, integrating all thematic areas, for example, Science, Visual Arts and Drama. Working on a Methods Project allows children to build and represent their knowledge through various forms of expression. As children collaborate and discuss new ideas with their peers, they are challenged to use their higher level of critical thinking skills as they find and explore various topics through long-term projects. To complement the program, music, extracurricular activities and Spanish are introduced by specialized teachers. Preschool (4 years of age): This program offers an exciting combination of Reggio Emilia's method and Project Approach for learning. The Reggio Emilia's method of education is based on the developmental needs of the child and freedom within limits, as well as a carefully prepared environment that guarantees exposure to materials and experiences. The materials for the classroom and the social environment are supportive of the child. The materials are multi-sensory, sequential and elicit self-correction, which facilitates learning. Everything a child sees, hears, feels and tastes improves the education of their mind. Project approach allows children to build and represent their knowledge through various forms of expression. As children collaborate and discuss new ideas with their classmates, they are challenged to use their higher level of critical thinking skills as they find and explore various topics through long-term projects. This is a self-directed learning environment.
The Adat Ari El Early Childhood Center offers a loving, warm, and... welcoming environment where children are valued for their individuality. We take our inspiration from many sources, primarily Jewish teachings and the Reggio Emilia curriculum philosophy, within a safe, creative, and stimulating setting. Every child is unique, with their own interests, learning style, growth timetable, and culture. Learning takes place through our developmentally-based program that values the child's innate curiosity, ability and creativity, as teachers help to shape the curriculum around the children's ideas. Adat Ari El Nursery School is a nursery licensed child care center in Valley Village, CA with the license issued by the L. A. Daycare-No. We are a small center.

Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum's installation 'Work in Progress' in the process of being acquired by ARTIUM, Vitoria-Gasteiz
Sun, Mar 4 2018

We are very happy to know that Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum's installation 'Work in Progress' (2013) is in the process of being acquired by ARTIUM, Centro Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country. The piece is on display as part of the exhibition 'ARTres. El museo como deba ser' (March 2–August 26, 2018).
'Work in Progress' was one of the two works included in their solo exhibition "The Margins of the Factory" presented at ADN Platform in January 2014, and curated by Latitudes.
'Work in Progress' immerses itself in the manufacturing industry of Markina-Xemein, the rural Basque village where Jaio comes from. A video documents the mass-production of rubber car parts, following the pieces from the assembly line in a worker-owned factory to subcontracted workshops where informal workers finish them by hand.
Several of these workers are employed by the artists to cast hundreds of replicas of small modernist sculptures. These are displayed on mass-produced shelving to evoke the "Chalk Laboratory" of Basque sculptor Jorge Oteiza (1908–2003), a fierce critic of the commodification of art.

Latitudes previously collaborated with Jaio and van Gorkum in the exhibition cycle 'Amikejo' presented throughout 2011 in MUSAC, León, when they exhibited 'Producing time between other things' (2011), a work specially produced for the occasion, and also included in the above-mentioned show "The Margins of the Factory" in 2014.

Ignasi Aballí at ARTIUM and Latitudes' text on 2009 project in Beijing and a 2010 interview
Ignasi Aballí "This is not the end". Courtesy of the artist.
On the occasion of Ignasi Aballí (Barcelona, 1958) exhibition 'This is not the end' at ARTIUM, Vitoria-Gasteiz (curated by François Piron, on view until 2 September 2011), we wanted to share two projects in which Latitudes collaborated with the Catalan artist.
Firstly, the interview "Rank & File" between the artist and Latitudes for which we discussed his ongoing List series. The text was originally published in 'The Last Star Ledger' (Issue #4 of 'The Last Newspaper' catalogue edited by Latitudes, New Museum, New York, 2010).

ARTIUM's 'This is not the end' includes the work "Tomar medidas" (Taking Measures, 2009), in which nine instruments are displayed measuring things we cannot see: dust particles, time, electrical fields, noise, temperature, the intensity of light, radiation, etc. The first version of "Tomar medidas" was produced for 'Nothing, or Something' (22 May–22 July 2009), an exhibition curated by Latitudes for Suitcase Art Projects, the project space of the Today Art Museum, located on three floors of the Yintai retail centre in Beijing – see images of the exhibition.
Following is the essay included in the small publication 'Nothing, or Something' produced to accompany the exhibition – see images of the publication.
Detail of the publication "Nothing, or Something" published by Today Art Museum and edited by Latitudes.
'Ignasi Aballí: Nothing, Or Something'
The morning before Ignasi Aballí's 'Nothing, Or Something' opened, we couldn't help but overhear an American businesswoman having a breakfast meeting at our hotel. "We're working very much with intangibles", she declared – and, we had to concur, so were we. Aballí's works for Suitcase Art Projects address immateriality, residues and traces. He prompts us to consider things that we cannot perceive directly or are too ordinary to be properly noticed. What is perhaps philosophy's central and most enduring question – 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' – is simultaneously approached as a precise existential experiment and as if with the shrug of a silent comedian.
Despite drawing on the formal language of modernism's impulse towards reduction and the 'white cube' of the museum as much as commonplace materials and unremarkable elements of daily existence, 'Nothing, or Something' has nevertheless been created for a situation that is neither fully 'art' (though presented under the auspices of the Today Art Museum), nor 'life', nor public space – but for a shopping centre. Walter Benjamin's vast The Arcades Project (1927–1940) located the bustling arcades of nineteenth-century Paris – early versions of the contemporary mall – as heralding a decisive shift to the speed and commodification of things which signalled the emergence of the modern age. Following Benjamin's concerns, Aballí's project is preoccupied by the parameters of display while being experienced through a collision and confusion with its surroundings. The windows in which it takes place are located throughout three floors of the Beijing Yintai Centre, a recently opened retail destination hosting high-end fashion, jewellery and watch manufacturers in the heart of Beijing's Central Business District, in one of the tallest buildings in the city. In the context of an excess of brand visibility, signage and luxury product presentation strategies, the eight conceptually interlinked works which comprise 'Nothing, or Something' seek a counterpoint and temporarily make room for a different kind of looking, a slower revelation and, to borrow from Marcel Duchamp – to whom we will return – a 'delay in glass'. The constraints and techniques of making something visible, and the very expectation of having something to see, become the projects' points of articulation.
Please excuse our appearance, for example, wryly offers the visitor an explanation for the apparent lack of anything in the display case beyond the out-of-place presence of pages from the Spanish newspaper El País (which has often been used by Aballí as the basis for his art) which are laid on the floor as if anticipating some messy activity. Summoning an in-between temporality of perpetual waiting, the vinyl text on the window requests pardon for an apparent hiatus in the rhythm of seasonal trends. Aballí's work from 2005 entitled Próxima aparición / Próximamente / Coming Soon – a one hour film showing the text of its title – similarly places the audience in an irrational situation of viewing where the main event is declaredly taking place at another time. Coming Soon is also the title of the vacated shop scenario of 'Nothing, Or Something'. Only traces are left on the premises. An inventory of products on sale is detailed in half-removed words on the glass. Torn posters hang from the side walls; dirty marks have been left by shelves at the back; the dusty outline of objects in a forgotten display case. Each is a reminder of what purports to have been a unit dedicated to photographic equipment. The awkwardly appended 'coming soon' vinyl text on the window creates some confusion, however, as to what has left and what has yet to appear. Dust has regularly featured as a material in Aballí's work, bringing to mind not only Dust Breeding (1920) – Man Ray's celebrated photograph of Marcel Duchamp's The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass) (1915–23) partially covered in a thick dusty layer – but less specifically a concern with entropy and the threshold of perception, where something is only readily perceivable through gradual accumulation or through its removal. Dust is "a very complex material ... a terminal, annoying, residual material that we don't want" as the artist has described – particularly when it comes to photography.1 As he addressed in his recent exhibition 'Without activity', so many of the gestures and routines of (especially pre-digital) photography are concerned with cleaning, brushing and wiping away.2 The depositing of dust also becomes an analogue for the exposure of light on photographic paper and in essence the inevitable passage of time.
Dust is, unsurprisingly, present in the atmosphere of Beijing. In the work Beijing Air, Aballí takes the small volume of the city's air present in a window display as the subject of what seems to be an encyclopedic annotated diagram cataloguing its actual and speculative, or feared, components. Text fixed to the glass and indicating lines describe the common gases present in air as well as a host of industrial pollutants, various airborne viruses and environmental particulate matter such as pollen. Many artists have commemorated the notion of blankness or explored the radically empty and each different reasons – the void can represent the wiping away of content and yet the preparation for something new. Aballí echoes this legacy – alongside Duchamp once more, whose Paris Air (1919) consists of a small vial of air from the French capital – yet his pseudo-scientific indications that nothingness is in fact not so easily achievable, at least for an earth-bound artist, brings humorous bathos to one of the central myths of the avant-garde.
Taking measures similarly adopts the language of objective inquiry with an absurd twist. Eight identical plinths occupy a vitrine and present scientific instruments which detect and measure invisible forces for the duration of the project – a stopwatch counts time, a digital barometer records the atmosphere pressure, a compass shows the magnetic orientation, a thermometer-hydrometer measures temperature and humidity, while a lux meter detects light. A sound meter measures in decibels alongside an instrument for sensing radiation. It is no surprise that an anemometer reveals that it is not windy in the vitrine. Contrary to immediate, decorative, or pictorial appeals to vision, Aballí proposes an ongoing sensitization to perceptions that escape direct representation. Yet evidently, we are still looking at something and instead, our aesthetic attention is displaced onto the design and the presentational mode of these instruments.
The vitrine opposite this, Scenic Viewpoints, presents the visitor with an arrangement of what appears to be blank white sheets of paper taped to the inside of the glass. As with several of the other works, in this shopping centre context, it could well seem like an unfortunate-looking temporary situation. Something is changed, remedied, covered over and hopefully overlooked: nothing to see here! Yet the attentive are rewarded with an altogether different vision – looking through the gaps in the white 'tiles' through to the reflection in the mirrored back surface of the narrow space, one can piece together an exuberant compilation of sights. Each sheet is an enlarged colour postcard depicting views, events and landmarks from the artist's home of Barcelona, a city whose popularity as a tourist destination lies in no small part to its presentation as a readily consumable and legible visual 'brand'. Blankly monochromatic on the outside, Scenic Viewpoints refuses such a generalised overview. Its ecstatic orchestration of wide vistas and saturated spectacles is only visible to a peeping, prying viewer who then can only see a small part at one time while linking "the abundance of images around us with the scarcity of meaning we can attach to them", as Bartomeu Marí has described of another of Aballí's works Revelations (2005).3
The vitrines titled Illuminating and White Cube are sited facing each other. Illuminating consists only of the application of light. Very bright light. The installation of professional film lights which shine out from the vitrine creates a level of luminescence that is evidently excessive. With a seeming lack of anything in particular to illuminate, one is reflected in the mirrored vitrine in the looped process of beholding oneself beholding the work. A counterpoint to the tastefully spotlighted products in the neighbouring shops, the wastefully 'incorrect' situation highlights a stark condition of energetic consumption while literally highlighting its context. White Cube provides the backdrop to this intense reflexivity. It cancels the transparency of its vitrine through the application of whitewash on the glass, a technique commonly adopted by empty premises after going out of business. (Not coincidentally, some of the pages of the newspapers of Please excuse our appearance carry stories related to the recession, which are illustrated by closed-up shops.) As with Aballí's Big Mistake (1998-2005) and other works using Tipp-Ex correction fluid (used to cover errors on writing or typing paper), the artist creates a quotidian monochrome, through a melancholic painting-like blanking-out activity that nevertheless is never properly a painting. If White Cube refers to a spectre of painting, Vitrines for a Vitrine seems to orientate around some missing sculpture or precious object. Yet as if the artist has been perpetually unconvinced by the plausibility of displaying something, nothing is on show – rather it is the condition of display which is demonstrated in a mise en abyme, itself within the regime of visibility of the shopping centre. Three clear acrylic display cases like those used in museums or in chic stores occupy the glass vitrine. Each contains one small photograph of different empty vitrines which the artist has encountered in various cities.
'Nothing, or Something' undoubtedly triggers perplexing situations for the shopping public and the workers of the centre who were more-or-less familiar with the art project's presence or witnesses to its installation. For many, the works may well go completely unnoticed. Are we seeing what we are supposed to be seeing? Where is the work? When is the work? Yet it is not the intention of Aballí's project to be disingenuous or confrontational. On the contrary, it operates through orchestrating and modifying simple possibilities for observation, deduction and reflection. Something or nothing is happening, is not happening, is not happening anymore, or is yet to happen. Enhanced by memory and hindsight the project allows a disarmingly humble visual retirement – the kind of complexity that emerges through ceasing or waiting. How and why are things added and subtracted from the world, or from sight? What is worth looking at, having or keeping, and what is to be doubted or erased? What does it mean to be more aware of the things we cannot see? Perhaps we are all working with intangibles?

"I first heard Michael Yonkers via the Microminature Love reissue (Sub Pop) and was immediately hooked. I started collecting any piece of his legend that I could... some true, some likely not. He had hand-built all of his gear. He had broken his back. He was part of experimental surgery that left him in lifelong pain. He was a dancer. He was still kicking around making some of the oddest and most contrary-to-contemporary-popular-norms type of music. (A man after my own heart) And then I heard Goodby Sunball, recorded and released in 1974, the year I was born. I had and have a very deep connection with this set of songs. I wasn't sure why, but when I finally met Michael, I understood. He was kind and seemingly a pretty regular guy. But he was also a weirdo. A rare bird, waving the true freak music flag, and it didn't matter what kind of music he made, I loved it all. So, this record was recorded as a way to reboot and reconnect with some songs that have heavily inspired me over the years. It was hard to pick from his vast catalog, so I just sort of jumped in, with Tom Dolas, Nick Murray, and Brigid Dawson as my band (along with a bevy of others along the way) and these are the tunes that stuck to the wall. I will forever be grateful to Mr Yonkers for bringing me a little joy with his music and inspiring weirdos everywhere."-John Dwyer, Feb 2020

Each and every country have it's own set of laws. So are the subjects that the lawyers have to study while pursuing their law degree program. Today there are universities that are offering online law degree programs, but most of the institutes offer only regular degree. The subjects that a law student studies while law degree matter a lot in future. For example, someone have graduated in law from India and wants to settle in Canada or US and practice as an attorney, there the subjects that (s)he have studied are matched with the requirements of that country.

'Work Matters to Me' – Arthritis Research UK launches new campaign
Arthritis Research UK is urging people to get behind their new campaign calling for the Government to take action and provide better support for people with arthritis to find and stay in work.
Tracey Loftis, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Arthritis Research UK, explains:
"We know that work matters to people with arthritis. Work means independence, it gives control and it can help people live their lives to the full. Yet the employment rate amongst people with arthritis is 20% lower than among people with no long term health condition.
Working with arthritis can pose challenges but, with the right kind of support and job, working has real benefits for our physical and mental health, our financial position and our wider wellbeing. That's why our new campaign 'Work Matters to Me' is calling for Government to close this arthritis work gap, so people with arthritis have the opportunity to stay in work."
The Work Matters to Me campaign asks for specific changes from Government to support people with arthritis, including:
- To help people with arthritis remain in work: More funding and better promotion of the 'Access to Work' scheme for employees and employers, to get help with the costs of work adaptations to enable people with arthritis maintain workplace health, and assist with the cost of fares to work if someone can't use public transport.
- To support people with arthritis when they are trying to find work: Creating a new Government 'Personal Support Package' specifically for people with arthritis; including ensuring work coaches and disability employment advisors receive training on working with people with arthritis.
You can support the 'Work Matters to Me' campaign in two ways. Firstly, sign the charity's open letter asking the Government to deliver better employment support for people with arthritis who want the opportunity to work. Secondly, add your own experience of work, employment support and welfare while living with arthritis to make your voice heard.
