Help America Walks and its partner organizations learn more about who walks, and why we walk. This survey will take only 5 minutes to complete and results are anonymous.
The National Walking Survey will help walking advocates understand what motivates avid walkers and what prevents others from walking more. The difference between those who are "avid walkers" and the more "reluctant walkers" is not well studied. How effective is encouragement from relatives, health professionals, employers, others? What can we learn about the messages that actually get someone afoot and those that don't? When someone has a choice of walking or not, is a dog or human companion the motivator to take the trip on foot? How crucial are factors like destinations within walking distance, pleasant and safe surroundings? Or is the difference between those who walk more and less a matter of available time or other demographics? The National Walking Survey is a start in answering these crucial questions. Take the survey; share the National Walking Survey!
When the data is analyzed, America Walks will publish what we've learned so all walking advocates can be more targeted in their work to promote walking in America.
I took the survey! It's quick. It makes you think about barriers to walking--signals that don't allow you to cross the street, dangerous drivers, etc. Thought provoking.
It's a pretty good survey -- it's not often I can actually find the appropriate answer for every question. (I'm thinking of a Ventura Parks survey that asked me how often we use the parks, and it maxed out at once a week, while we were going every day.) Thanks for the link!
Thanks for taking the time to fill it out!

Q: Best time to buy and sell stocks when allowing consecutive buys or sells Problem
You're given the n stock prices for n days. Output the maximum profit you can reach by trading stocks. You can only trade at most once a day: on each day you can choose to either buy a single stock, or sell a single stock (if you have one), or give up the trade for that day and do nothing.
Example 1:
Given a = [1,2,10,9], return 16
Explanation:
You can buy on day 1 and 2 and sell on day 3 and 4.
Profit: -1-2+10+9 = 16
Example 2:
Given a = [9,5,9,10,5], return 5
Explanation:
You can buy on day 2 and sell on day 4.
Profit: -5 + 10 = 5
My analysis
The difficult part is that you can engage in consecutive buys and/or sells, meaning that once you posses a stock, you don't necessarily have to sell it before buying another one.
My idea is the following algorithm:
Start from the largest price, and then match the smallest price that occurs before that maximum price in the input array. After matching, remove these two prices from the array and keep repeating this process until you can find no more match. It seems like this algorithm works, but it costs O(n2) time, which is not fast enough.
Question
How could this be solved with a better time complexity, such as O(nlogn)?

A: We can model this as a min-cost circulation problem and solve it optimally with a specialized O(n log n)-time algorithm similar to your idea.
In the flow network, there is a node for each day and a node representing the market. There are two unit-capacity arcs for each day, one from the market with cost equal to the price that day, one to the market with cost equal to minus the price. There are arcs of zero cost and unbounded capacity that can move flow from each day (except the last) to the one after it. These represent holding stock.
Using () to represent nodes, ==> to represent unbounded capacity arcs and --> to represent unit capacity arcs, and labeling the costs, your sample instance is
      0        0        0
 ()======>()======>()======>()
 ^\       ^\       ^\       ^\
1| |-1   2| |-2  10| |-10  9| |-9
  \v       \v       \v       \v
  (                            )

Technically it's possible in this reformulation to both buy and sell on the same day, but that's not a profitable move, so it doesn't matter.
Given a residual network, the theory (linear programming duality) says we're done if and only if there's no negative-cost simple cycle. The intuitive meaning of such cycles is exactly what you would expect: buying a share and selling it profitably later.
The algorithm works by successively eliminating all negative-cost simple cycles (profitable cycles from now on) on the first k days for k from 1 to n. In the base case k = 1, the first day alone is never profitable, so we can move along to the inductive step.
For the inductive step, we know that there are no profitable cycles in the first k-1 days and want to extend that to k. If there is a profitable cycle in the first k days, it involves selling on day k. But what to buy? We can answer that question efficiently by maintaining a min-priority queue of our residual buying opportunities. We compare the day k price to the queue min, and if it's higher we do the deal, which involves popping the min and pushing the day k price, since from the point of view of the residual network, canceling our sale later looks the same as buying a share. Then we push the day k price regardless to represent the possibility of actually buying on day k.
We have to be careful here and prove that we didn't just introduce another profitable cycle. That's the reason to choose the min: we can't combine the new "selling" (actually canceling the buy) opportunity profitably with any of the residual buying opportunities, because the new selling price was not greater than any of those opportunities.
The finished algorithm is pretty simple. In Python:
import heapq

def trading_profit(prices):
    profit = 0
    queue = []
    for price in prices:
        if queue and queue[0] < price:
            profit += price - queue[0]
            heapq.heapreplace(queue, price)
        heapq.heappush(queue, price)
    return profit

A: This is an O(n²) algorithm. So in that sense it does not answer your question for something asymptotically faster, but as in a comment you learned that you're algorithm won't work, I believe it may be useful nonetheless.
I'd go for dynamic programming. Iterate over the days, and maintain a list where the index describes the number of stock you have, and the value is the best cash balance to arrive in that situation. So start with the list being [0], i.e. a single entry indicating that you can have zero stock at balance zero.
For each day, you can buy, sell or skip. You can express all the together using something like this:
balance_new[i] = max(balance[i], balance[i-1] - quote, balance[i+1] + quote)

The first entry represents skip: you keep current stock and balance. The second entry represents buy: you gain one stock (from i-1 to i) but reduce balance by the day's price. The third entry is a sell: you reduce stock by one but gain the current price to your balance.
The balance_new you get from this becomes the balance for the next day. And you'll need to take some care around the boundary of the list, where one of the expressions becomes invalid because it would index out of bounds. You can't get to zero stock with a buy operation. The requested maximum profit is balance[0] after you've processed all days. It represents the maximum balance that leaves you with no stock.
You have an outer loop iterating over n days. And an inner loop iterating over the potential number of stock you might possess at that point. That number grows linear in each iteration. If you want you can try to be clever and reduce the number of steps for the inner loop by one after you reached half the steps of the outer loop. That's because it never pays to acquire more stock than you can sell by the end. So the number of steps in the inner loop would go from something like one to something like n/2 then back down again, for a total of n²/4 + O(n) but that's still in O(n²) over all.

A: Correction:  My logic failed (for [9, 12, 1, 18, 17, 13, 1, 2, 10] gave 29 instead of 35)...
Here's the logic I came up with:

*

*map arr a to arr of {value, day, and relation}.

*set 1st relation to "smaller", and the following to "smaller"|"equal"|"bigger" compared to prev.

*from start, find last consecutive "smaller"(and then "smaller"|"equal"), from there, find last consecutive "bigger", match (push to buy and sell arrays) and remove.

*repeat from 2, until all not "bigger", or length<2.

*you are left with buy and sell pairs in their respective arrays(which will yield the maximum profit).

Q: Upload files from latest commit to Azure Storage using Azure CLI I have a Jenkins pipeline. Every time I check into git, I need to access the changed files (or all files in a particular directory) and upload them into my Azure Storage account.
I'm able to upload files into the storage account using Azure CLI but I'm unable to access the git files. When I try to use the following in my JenkinsFile, I get null and null for both values.
echo "The commit hash is ${env.GIT_COMMIT} ${env.GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT}"
Given my use case, what should be my best approach? Is there any way I can access the files so that I can upload them?
My Jenkins version - 2.214.

A: In your pipeline, if you are trying to echo valid ${env.GIT_xxxx} directly without obtaining and saving the Map returned by checkout then I believe you can try to obtain the Map returned by checkout and save the Map as environment variable.
stage('Checkout code') {
  steps {
    script {
      // Checkout the repository and save the resulting metadata
      def scmVars = checkout([
        $class: 'GitSCM',
        ...
      ])

      // Display the variable using scmVars
      echo "scmVars.GIT_COMMIT"
      echo "${scmVars.GIT_COMMIT}"

      // Displaying the variables saving it as environment variable
      env.GIT_COMMIT = scmVars.GIT_COMMIT
      echo "env.GIT_COMMIT"
      echo "${env.GIT_COMMIT}"
    }

    // Here the metadata is available as environment variable
    ...
  }
}

Just FYI, this is the source of the above information. Hope this helps!

With the advent of portable music players, more people probably consume the bulk of their music over headphones than ever. This is not a bad thing - headphones can provide an intimate, up-front listening experience, and of course they offer listening privacy, a factor appreciated by both the wearer and their immediate neighbors. But when it comes to the art of mixing, headphone monitoring comes with a number of caveats.
One of the primary goals in mixing is to make sure that the track will sound good to all listeners, regardless of what kind of playback system they listen to it on - professional quality studio monitors, inexpensive home hi-fi speakers, live sound systems, car stereos - the mix must work well in all of these disparate listening environments. And that includes headphones, from full-range studio-quality phones to the cheap, tinny earbuds that come with many personal music players.
Mixers, naturally, check the mix - both in progress and the final version - on as many of these playback systems as possible, again, including phones. But during the mixing process it's important to maintain a consistent monitoring reference, and 99% of mixers will probably suggest monitor speakers rather than headphones, thanks to differences between the experience of listening in speakers and headphones, and additional aspects of headphone use. Here are a number of things that any mixer should be aware of about headphone monitoring.
One of the key aspects of mixing is stereo imaging - the mix should have a nice, wide stereo soundstage, with some degree of front-back depth as well, for as close to a three-dimensional image as possible form conventional stereo speakers. But when it comes to the stereo image, the experience of monitoring in headphones is quite different from hearing the same mix over loudspeakers in a room. In phones, there may be more detail revealed, especially when it comes to background elements of the arrangement, intended to be barely audible under the main tracks, contributing to the overall density of the mix without calling undue attention to themselves.
Subtle parts like very light background harmonies, layered instrument doubles, extra percussion and the like can tend to stand out a little more in phones, as can some effects, especially those involving reverb and short delays. A very short doubling or light slap may provide a little extra fullness for a sound without really being heard as an effect, blending in with the inevitable short reflections in the listening room itself; but in headphones, that same effect might be much more noticeable as an added effect, rather than a subliminal enhancement.
There's a technical reason for these differences in perception between speakers and phones. Now in theory, a stereo recording is made up of a left channel, intended for the left ear, and a right channel, intended for that right ear. But when listening over monitor speakers in a room, both ears hear the sound from both speakers - it's unavoidable. This mix of channels - the left ear also hearing the right channel, and the right ear also hearing the left - is called Inter-Aural Crosstalk. It's why the stereo soundfield from speakers is limited to the space between the speakers, rather than extending out to the sides beyond them, in a wider arc. It also contributes to a slight loss of detail (along with other room phenomena like reflections and comb-filtering).
But in headphones, there is no Inter-Aural Crosstalk: thanks to the proximity of each earcup to the corresponding ear, the stereo signal is heard as intended - left->left ear only, right->right ear only. That's why headphones often reveal those more subtle aspects of the mix - like background parts and subliminal effects - that are much less clear in speakers.
While this is a plus for the headphone listener, it should give pause to the mixer - if you do a mix in phones, balancing all the elements just so, it'll sound fine for other headphone users, but when that mix is heard over speakers, a degree of necessary detail may be lost, and the mix may sound overly diffuse and muddy.
This is one of the reasons mixers mix primarily in speakers - the mix will sound proper over other speaker systems, and rather than suffering a loss of detail and clarity, it may gain some detail and clarity when heard in headphones. All the mixer needs to do is check that any differences in perception in phones are not detrimental, and make a few subtle tweaks for compatibility in both listening environments.
The same considerations come into play regarding an even more obvious difference between speakers and phones - the width of the stereo image. Of course, the mixer can't control how listeners' playback speakers will be arranged, but most assume normal spaced placement - something at least approximating the optimal 60° angle for stereo reproduction (though mixers always check the mix in mono as well, just in case).
But in phones, the stereo soundfield, rather than stretching out from left to right in front of the listener, is contained in the much more narrow space within the listener's head. Stereo width and placement of tracks in a mix is a subtle, yet important contributor to the overall balance and clarity of the mix, and this is another reason why the headphone wearer's perception on the mix is usually different - at least with regular headphones (some recordings utilize special techniques, like binaural processing, and some phones employ special arrangements of drivers to enhance the image, or project the soundfield outside the listener's head, but that's a rather small (and specialized) subset of the headphone experience).
Getting the bass right in a mix is a challenge in any listening environment. Even though speakers are the preferred option for mixing, all experienced mixers are aware of how a room can wreak havoc with the low end, thanks to Standing Waves, and take some steps to address this known issue. But headphones can also have low-end issues. Phones tend to sit a little differently on each person's ears, and since the bass response is affected by the seal between the earcups and the ears, this can result in different bass response, even with the same phones, from one listener to another, or even with the same listener, if he fiddles with and re-adjusts the phones on his ears during a listening session; earbuds are also subject to this, though most of them don't have very good low-end response anyway.
And once again, while the perception of bass in the mix may vary from room to room, the perception of bass may also vary from phones to speakers. Without the feeling of the bass vibrations in the room and the listener's body - absent in headphone monitoring, even with phones that have good bass extension - there may be a tendency to overdo low end EQ if mixing in phones, which can then sound muddy or boomy over speaker playback.
Finally, there's the issue of monitoring level. Again, most experienced mixers know enough to avoid working for long stretches at too loud a listening level (i.e. > 90 dBspl or so) without taking frequent breaks. Many mixers follow the recommendation of maintaining a consistent monitoring level of approximately 83 dBspl, occasionally checking the mix at higher and lower levels. But with headphone monitoring, it's harder to calibrate listening level, and the lack of that low-end full-body impact can make headphone levels appear to be not as loud as they really are. Hearing damage initially occurs at upper-midrange and higher frequencies, and headphone listeners who crank levels, in an attempt to compensate for the lack of physical "thump", can be at greater risk of potential hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Despite all these caveats, headphone monitoring can be an important part of the mixing process. While many earbuds do provide fairly crappy sound, the best headphones (though they can be pricey) offer excellent, detailed, full-range audio, free of the potential colorations of the average room - as long as you're familiar with all the relevant aspects of headphone monitoring and take them into account.

Excellent article. Thanks for clarifying many things.
I'm surprised the SUBPAC or the Basslet wasn't mentioned in the last section concerning bass body impact. Odd omission.

Joseph Darling
Joseph Darling (1870–1946) took up cricket in earnest while a student at Prince Alfred College in Adelaide and was fifteen when he set a new record for the highest innings (252) scored in South Australia. At sixteen, he was selected to bat for his home state and he also played in the team that won the South Australian Football Association premiership in 1886. Having worked for several years as the manager of one of his family's farms, he helped South Australia to victory in a match against the touring England side before making his Test debut in Sydney in December 1894. A nuggetty, left-handed, middle-order batsman, Darling was selected for the Test sides that toured England in 1896, 1899, 1902 and 1905, captaining Australia in the victorious 1899 and 1902 series as well as the sides of 1901-02 and 1905. In all, he played in 34 Test matches, 31 against England and three against South Africa, ending his international career after the 1905 English tour with a total of 1,657 runs, three centuries, eight half-centuries and a Test batting average of 28.56. After retiring from professional cricket, he relocated his large family to a sheep station in Tasmania, where he raised prize-winning flocks and was active in various rural organisations. He was named a CBE in 1938 and was the Member for Cambridge in the Tasmanian Legislative Council for many years. He died in Hobart in January 1946, survived by his wife of 52 years and twelve of their fifteen children.

"The CAFC said it is not improper for the TTAB to 'determine that, for rational reasons, it should give more or less weight . . . to a particular feature of the mark provided that its ultimate conclusion regarding the likelihood of confusion rests on [a] consideration of the marks in their entireties.'"
On January 8, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) affirmed a decision of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) dismissing QuikTrip West, Inc.'s (QuikTrip) opposition to Weigel Stores, Inc.'s (Weigel) registration of the mark W WEIGEL'S KITCHEN NOW OPEN on the ground that there was not likelihood of confusion with QuikTrip's registered design mark, QT KITCHENS (QuikTrip West, Inc. v. Weigel Stores, Inc.).
TTAB Finds the Marks Dissimilar
QuikTrip operates a gasoline and convenience store and has sold food and beverages in its stores under the registered mark QT KITCHENS since 2011. In 2014, Weigel, which also operates gasoline and convenience stores, began using a stylized mark, QT KITCHENS, in connection with food and beverages sold in its stores. In response to a cease-and-desist letter sent by QuikTrip, Weigel modified its mark by changing "KITCHENS" to "KITCHEN," altering the font, and adding the words "WEIGEL'S" and "NOW OPEN." In 2017, Weigel applied to register the mark W WEIGEL'S KITCHEN NOW OPEN and QuikTrip filed an opposition, "asserting that it would create a likelihood of confusion with its QT KITCHENS mark."
The TTAB evaluated the likelihood of confusion between the two marks in accordance with the DuPont factors. The Board found that "the parties' identical-in-part goods and related services, overlapping trade channels, overlapping classes of customers, and similar conditions of purchase pointed to a likelihood of confusion finding." However, the panel also found that "the dissimilarity of the marks weighed against a likelihood of confusion," the word "KITCHEN(S)" was "at least highly suggestive, if not descriptive," and Weigel did not act in bad faith. Thus, the Board concluded that despite several factors weighing in favor of a likelihood of confusion, the marks were so dissimilar that there would not be a likelihood of confusion.
Similarity of the Marks
On appeal, QuikTrip challenged the Board's analysis regarding the similarity of the marks, Weigel's alleged bad faith, and the Board's overall weighing of the Dupont factors. With respect to similarity, QuikTrip argued that the "Board improperly dissected the marks when analyzing their similarity." The CAFC agreed with Weigel that the Board's analysis was correct and noted that it is not improper for the Board to "determine that, 'for rational reasons,' it should give 'more or less weight . . . to a particular feature of the mark' provided that its ultimate conclusion regarding the likelihood of confusion 'rests on [a] consideration of the marks in their entireties'" (citing Packard Press, Inc. v. Hewlett Packard Co.). The CAFC reasoned that the Board correctly accorded less weight to the term KITCHEN(S) because it was a "highly suggestive, if not descriptive word" and was entitled to afford more weight to the "dominant, distinct portions of the mark," such as "Weigel's encircled W next to the surname Weigel's and QuikTrip's QT in a square below a chef's hat—given their prominent placement, unique design, and color." Thus, the CAFC concluded that the Board properly compared the marks in their entireties, despite weighing certain portions more heavily, and the Board's findings were supported by substantial evidence.
In considering QuikTrip's argument that Weigel acted in bad faith, the CAFC cited Sweats Fashions, Inc. v. Pannill Knitting Co., explaining that an "inference of 'bad faith' requires something more than mere knowledge of a prior similar mark"; rather, it requires an intent to confuse. The CAFC disagreed with QuikTrip that the Board failed to "meaningfully weigh evidence that Weigel intentionally copied elements of QuikTrip's mark in order to confuse customers" and did not explicitly discuss its arguments relating to trade dress related bad faith. The CAFC explained that Weigel's "willingness to alter its mark several times in order to prevent customer confusion negate[d] any inference of bad faith." The CAFC also noted that the Board did not err in not addressing QuikTrip's trade dress arguments, since the Board was "not obliged to discuss every piece of evidence that QuikTrip raised." Thus, the CAFC concluded that substantial evidence supported the Board's finding that Weigel did not act in bad faith.
Weighing of the DuPont Factors
The CAFC considered QuikTrip's argument that "the Board legally erred in giving decisive weight to the dissimilarity of the marks under DuPont factor one, while disregarding other DuPont factors strongly supporting a likelihood of confusion." The CAFC disagreed with QuikTrip, noting that analyzing the DuPont Factors is a "balancing test" and "[o]ne DuPont factor 'may be dispositive in a likelihood of confusion analysis, especially when that single factor is the dissimilarity of the marks'" (Citing Champagne Louis Roederer, S.A. v. Delicato Vineyards). The CAFC explained that the Board did not disregard any evidence, it simply determined that such evidence was outweighed by the differences in the marks. Thus, the CAFC affirmed the decision of the TTAB, dismissing QuikTrip's opposition.

A total of 16 performances covering symphony, chamber music, vocal music, Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera will be staged at Beijing's Forbidden City Concert Hall (FCCH) from Saturday as the hall is its new "Golden Autumn" performance season venue.
According to FCCH President Xu Jian, these performances are divided into four themes, which include China's upcoming national holiday on October 1, and the music of France.
On the night of October 1, conductor Zheng Jian will lead the Beijing Symphony Orchestra and work with the Beijing Chief Artist Male Chorus for a special performance to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China.
" To mark the special day, we've prepared a number of classic music and songs showing various revolutionary historical periods and widely sung in recent years," Meng Haidong, head of the Beijing Symphony Orchestra, told media.
On December 2, the concert hall will see a crossover performance by dancer Wang Yabin and organist Shen Yuan.
"We hope that this time it will be a fusion of music and dance. The two arts will add points to each other, making the dance more musical and the music more visual," Wang said.

Whether it's for preschool, Sunday school or simply an afternoon at home, creating a few ladybug crafts for kids is a great way to learn about one of nature's cutest bugs. Don't limit your imagination when it comes to creating these crafts.
Ladybug projects can be big or small, easy or complex. Supplies can be drafted from a variety of household items or come from a prepackaged kit. Whichever route you choose to create your ladybug craft for kids, remember the end product will be the cutest bug on the block!
Flat stones or river rocks are the perfect landscapes for painted ladybugs. These rocks are normally found in your backyard or at a local park. After you clean the rocks and allow them to completely air dry, use a good craft paint to create your ladybug -- or any other desired critter. With small kids, it is best to used water-based paint; however, older children may benefit more from using acrylics.
Teach your child to sew with this ladybug purse project. Follow any instructions you would use for a simple purse, but instead of regular fabric, use some that looks like grass. If your local fabric store does not carry this, use a vinyl tablecloth (available at party stores). For that special touch, add a few adhesive or beaded ladybugs, which can be found at any craft stores or online.
Colored play dough can be easily manipulated by little hands to create this cute ladybug and green leaf. The little ones might needs help crafting the eyes and other smaller details.
Older kids can make more lifelike ladybugs by using modeling clay. The kind of clay found at a craft or hobby store works best.
Creative kids will really love this craft. Each bucket kit contains enough foam pieces to create 24 ladybugs.
Paper, crayons, colored pencils and paint are all a child needs to craft the "perfect" ladybug! Craft or butcher paper is the way to go on this one, as the large size will allow your child to create an entire garden.
Once the crafts are all done, spend some time baking and decorating some ladybug cookies. You simply can use round cookie or biscuit cutter and decorate with colored icing.
Ladybug projects are only some of the fun things to do with your children. Check out this LTK article for more craft ideas.

The Climate Movement Must Disrupt the Normal Routines of Fossil Capital
Despite all the mounting evidence of climate catastrophe, fossil fuel companies are still planning to carry on business as usual. The climate movement must be ready to use tactics that disrupt the normal routines of fossil capital and prompt states to take meaningful action.
A photo from the Ende Gelände climate camp in Germany in 2016. Photo: Ende Gelände
This extract is taken from Andreas Malm's book How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire, which will be published by Verso Books in January 2021.
All three cycles of climate protest in the twenty-first century have spun out of an insight, more and more widely shared: the ruling classes really will not be talked into action. They are not amenable to persuasion; the louder the sirens wail, the more material they rush to the fire, and so a change in direction will have to be forced upon them. The movement must learn to disrupt business as usual.
To this end, it has developed an impressive repertoire: blockades, occupations, sit-ins, divestment, school strikes, the shutdown of city centers, the signal tactic of the climate camp. Later cycles have built on and learned from prior ones. Toward the end of the second, much inspired by the North American struggles against pipelines, the German movement reinvented the climate camp formula and brought it to a higher level of mass defiance: Ende Gelände, meaning roughly "here and no further," was born.
Upward Curve
At Ende Gelände, activists pitch their tents around a central area of circus tents and kitchens. They undergo training in affinity groups, dress up in thin white coveralls, and set out for a brown coal mine. Approaching the target from several directions, in brigade-like columns or "fingers," they excel in breaking through police cordons with the sheer mass of their bodies, running past outwitted guards, making their way through water cannons and fences until they reach the open pits.
There they slide down into the dusty craters and climb the diggers — the humongous excavators, like towering, rusty ships slowly eating their way through the earth — or lie down on the railway tracks ferrying coal to the furnaces. Production can be switched off for days. No fuel can be dug up and burned when the activists hold the premises.
Arguably constituting the most advanced stage of the climate struggle in Europe, Ende Gelände spanned the cycles and grew year on year; in the summer of 2019, six thousand people closed the largest point source of emissions in Germany, backed up by several thousands more in the camp and some forty thousand in a Fridays for Future demonstration. By that time, Ende Gelände had forced the issue of brown coal to the top of the agenda and prompted a national commission to set a date for phasing it out — the date eventually announced as 2038.
That's another two decades of churning out coal. Hence Ende Gelände promised to march on and swell further and spawn more copycats around Europe; in 2019, dozens of climate camps were organized from Poland to Portugal. The learning curve went steadily upward.
Thus the cycles have not returned to square one, but rather formed a cumulative process and rising loop, like the climate crisis itself. The American and European sections have learned from each other, and the cadres have accumulated a wealth of experiences. These include "small wins" — a gas pipeline canceled here, a coal plant scrapped there — as well as some big losses, which, however, seem to ensure the movement its growth, as the fire drives more people to take the plunge into activism.
Strategic Pacifism
But so far, the movement has stopped short of one mode of action: offensive (or, for that matter, defensive) physical force. Anything that could be classified as violence has been studiously, scrupulously avoided. Indeed, the commitment to absolute nonviolence appears to have stiffened over the cycles, the internalization of its ethos universal, the discipline remarkable.
One example: in late August 2018, some seven hundred activists assembled outside a compound of seven gray gas cisterns in the Dutch province of Groningen. Home to the largest onshore field of fossil gas in Europe, the area has long been racked by serial earthquakes, as the extraction has made the land suddenly compact and subside, damaging homes and buildings and racking the nerves of the local population. We erected an improvised camp in front of the compound, blocking transportation. The police lined up on a railway track between the gates and us. A ballast of crushed stones held up the rails.
As dusk fell, some three hundred farmers marched against Shell and Exxon and ended up in the camp, causing the crowd to spill onto the railway track, at which point the police started raining down their batons and shooting pepper spray, someone fainting and being carried away, others screaming in pain. Not a single stone was picked up and thrown. The supply was abundant — we were standing on top of thousands; we could have pelted them — and after such an assault, other types of crowds would have responded in kind. The climate movement would not.
The strictures against violence extend to property destruction. In Groningen, the "action consensus" every participant had to abide by solemnly pledged that "we will not damage machines or infrastructure." A year later, the first Swedish imitation of Ende Gelände took place in Gothenburg against the construction of a gas terminal, one node in a fresh new infrastructure for fossil-fuel combustion rolled out over the continent. A company called Swedegas engineered the terminal and aimed for eight more on the Swedish coast. Liquefied gas would be imported from across the world and pumped into the country through a network of pipelines, to the benefit of a global consortium of investors.
And so we went there with our white coveralls, to the Gothenburg harbor, three fingers, five hundred people — the largest civil disobedience action in the modern history of this somnolent nation — and blocked all trucks carrying oil and gas for a day. The action consensus stated that "we will behave calmly and carefully"; further, "it is not our aim to destroy or damage any infrastructure." We spent the day sitting on the asphalt. Thus far, the movement for averting a spiraling climate catastrophe has not only been civil: it has been gentle and mild in the extreme.
Two Scenarios
There can be no doubt that this posture has served it well. It confers upon the movement a bundle of well-known tactical advantages. If it had deployed black bloc–like tactics from the start — donning sinister masks, smashing windows, burning barricades, fighting it out with the cops — it would never have attracted these numbers. The bar for joining a disruption of business as usual is lowered by certificates of peacefulness. Our being beaten up on the railway tracks in Groningen earned us the sympathy of the Dutch press; no one could smear us as terrorists or the like.
Had some of us in Gothenburg started hacking on the fences or used slingshots against the trucks, the scene would have descended into chaos. We would have been kettled and herded off to jail; I could not have brought my two kids to the site and played with them for hours.
Collective self-discipline — submitting to the guidelines of the operational leadership; conducting an action in accordance with plans — is a virtue. The determination of the movement to scale up its challenge to business as usual by means of ever bigger, bolder mass actions of precisely this kind cannot be called into question: this is the main way forward. Let a hundred Ende Gelände camps bloom, and fossil capital might find itself under some real pressure.
What can be questioned, however, is something else. Will absolute nonviolence be the only way, forever the sole admissible tactic in the struggle to abolish fossil fuels? Can we be sure that it will suffice against this enemy? Must we tie ourselves to its mast to reach a safer place?
The question can be formulated in a different way. Imagine that the mass mobilizations of the third cycle become impossible to ignore. The ruling classes feel themselves under such heat — perhaps their hearts even melting somewhat at the sight of all these kids with handwritten placards — that their obduracy wanes.
New politicians are voted into office, notably from Green parties in Europe, who live up to their election promises. The pressure is kept up from below. Moratoriums on fresh fossil fuel infrastructure are instituted. Legislation and planning are put in place for cutting emissions by at least 10 percent per year; renewable energy and public transport are scaled up, plant-based diets promoted, blanket bans on fossil fuels prepared. The movement should be given the chance to see this scenario through.
But imagine a different scenario: a few years down the road, the kids of the Thunberg generation and the rest of us wake up one morning and realize that business as usual is still on, regardless of all the strikes, the science, the pleas, the millions with colorful outfits and banners — not beyond the realm of the thinkable. Imagine the greasy wheels roll as fast as ever. What do we do then?
Widening Gap
Meanwhile, in the actually existing capitalist world economy, unfolding in parallel to the billowing climate movement, money has been flowing into the construction of fresh fireplaces. In May 2019, just weeks after the XR "spring uprising" in London, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its annual report on investment trends in the world of energy. Capitalists knew what sources to bank on.
Two-thirds of capital placed in projects for generating energy in the year 2018 went to oil, gas, and coal — that is, to additional facilities for extracting and combusting such fuels, on top of all that already spanned the globe — as against less than one-third of capital going to wind and sun. The share of renewables evinced no growth trend. In fact, global investment here edged downward by 1 percent (not a function of falling prices).
Investment in coal, on the other hand, turned upward for the first time since 2012, by 2 percent — that is, investment in brand-new coal supply not only continued but increased, although not as fast as in oil and gas. For the third consecutive year, the amount of money flowing into "upstream" oil and gas, meaning infrastructure for delivering those fuels from under the ground, grew by 6 percent — year on year, 6 percent more capital was sunk into fresh drills, wells, rigs; investment in exploration alone was projected to shoot up by 18 percent in 2019. The fire reignited itself anew.
Nowhere on the horizon of ongoing capital accumulation could a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy be sighted (despite the latter now being "consistently cheaper," as noted by the billionaire's rag Forbes). The IEA had tact enough to notice "a growing mismatch between current trends and the paths to meeting" the goals of maximum 1.5°C or 2°C global warming. Put differently, the capitalist world economy operated in fundamental disconnect from the sense and science of a planet on fire, not to speak of all aspirations to cool it down. And the disconnect was widening.
Once an investor has constructed a coal-fired power plant or a pipeline or any other such unit, he will not want to dismantle it. Demolition on the morrow of completion would mean pecuniary disaster. It takes a lot of capital to get something like a deep-water field to pump up the black gold, and some time must pass before the initial investment pays off, and once profits have come gushing in, the owner will have an abiding interest in keeping the unit at work for as long as possible.
How can capitalists go on like this? They still feel that they own the world. Fixed capital of this size is normally subject to risks and sensitive to the anticipated "policy context." Given the money involved, it would be imprudent to undertake these investments if swings and alterations in the economy threatened premature devaluation, let alone liquidation, but these capitalists do not see any wrecking balls coming their way. They think they have nothing to fear.
Beyond Expectations
At the time of COP 1, the first UN climate-change conference in 1995, few would have thought that two or three decades down the line, the economies of the world would discharge nearly one gigaton of carbon per month, with the corporations busily planning for augmented capacity to combust fossil fuels, and the governments presiding over it all, proudly or passively.
The northern zone of permafrost is a subterranean storehouse of carbon frozen for hundreds of thousands of years. When the planet heats up, the soil begins to thaw, microbes set to work on the organic matter and decompose it, releasing carbon dioxide but mainly methane — a greenhouse gas with eighty-seven times greater warming effect during the first two decades in the atmosphere.
Forest fires work the same way. Carbon locked into trees and soil escape when the flames pass through, as they now do more often, for longer periods, at higher intensity, over vaster territories, the primary fires of fossil fuels igniting secondary fires from Kamchatka to the Congo. Scientists lag behind these positive feedback mechanisms and struggle to capture them in their models. The carbon budgets have yet to fully integrate them, and if they would, they would contract further.
Thus, we find ourselves between two scissor blades: on the one hand, unbending business as usual, taking emissions ever higher and confounding hopes for mitigation; on the other, delicate ecosystems crashing down — the extraordinary inertia of the capitalist mode of production meeting the reactivity of the earth. This is the temporal predicament in which the climate movement has to devise meaningful strategies.
The science is eminently clear. Because so much valuable, irretrievable time has been lost, assets have to be stranded. Investments must be written off too early for capitalist taste; on one estimate, the instant suspension of every project in the pipeline would make 2°C achievable only if accompanied by the decommissioning of one-fifth of all power plants running on fossil fuels. That is a lot of already sunk capital.
Now one reason why climate stabilization appears such a frightfully daunting challenge is that no state seems prepared to even float this idea, because capitalist property has the status of the ultimate sacred realm. Who dares to throw it on the scrap heap? What government is willing to send in its forces to ensure the forfeiture of this amount of profit?
And so there must be someone who breaks the spell. A refinery deprived of electricity, a digger in pieces: the stranding of assets is possible, after all. Property does not stand above the earth; there is no technical or natural or divine law that makes it inviolable in this emergency. If states cannot on their own initiative open up the fences, others will have to do it for them. Or property will cost us the earth.
But just as the suffragettes sought to twist the arm of the state — on their own, they could not legislate any voting rights — the aim would be to force states to proclaim the prohibition and begin retiring the stock. At the end of the day, it will be states that ram through the transition or no one will.
However, the states have fully proven that they will not be the prime movers. The question is not if sabotage from a militant wing of the climate movement will solve the crisis on its own — clearly a pipe dream — but if the disruptive commotion necessary for shaking business as usual out of the ruts can come about without it.
We must accept that property destruction is violence, insofar as it intentionally exerts physical force to inflict injury on a thing owned by someone who does not want it to happen. But in the very same breath, we must insist on it being different in kind from the violence that hits a human (or an animal) in the face: one cannot treat a car cruelly or make it cry.
Martin Luther King endorsed this distinction in his apologia for the urban riots of 1967: "Violent they certainly were. But the violence, to a startling degree, was focused against property rather than against people," and within the genus of violent acts, this made all the difference: "A life is sacred. Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being."
Why were the rioters "so violent with property then? Because property represents the white power structure, which they were attacking and trying to destroy."
Here is a contrast from late 2019: Chilean students reacting to the rise in public-transport fares — championing that mode of transportation, as free and accessible for all — by organizing mass trespassing through the turnstiles, attacking ticket machines, supermarkets and company headquarters, and touching off a nationwide uprising against soaring inequalities in the homeland of neoliberalism. Meanwhile, the movement against climate catastrophe: placid and composed.
Climate Camps
But if the temptation to fetishize one kind of tactic should be resisted, this also applies, of course, to property destruction and other forms of violence. The tactic with the greatest potential for this movement might be something different. It might be the climate camp.
Climate camps have a way of building on each other, spreading horizontally, stacking up experiences of how to fight fossil capital on the ground. Unlike the Occupy and similar camps that cropped up in 2011 — to which they are, of course, related — climate camps are planned long in advance, with fixed dates for erection and dismantling; neither spontaneous nor reactive, they feed into a plotted escalation.
We have yet to see diminishing returns from activist investment; Ende Gelände has continued to draw in larger numbers and outmaneuver the police. But such success can be hard to replicate elsewhere. Fewer than the five to ten thousand now readily drummed up in the Rhineland, activists in other parts of Europe have found that a pre-announced camp can give the corporations time to prepare and move out sufficient fuel and equipment to cushion against a blockade.
With the trouble limited, the police may blunt the edge of the action by standing to the side and letting it pass. There is chatter in the movement about combining camps with smaller, secret, surprise hits to cause real disruption. Whatever comes out of it, the climate camp is the unrivaled laboratory for learning this fight.

Isogenic populations of cells exhibit phenotypic variability that has specific physiological consequences. For example, individual bacteria within a population can differ in their sensitivity to an antibiotic, but whether this variability can be regulated or is generally an unavoidable consequence of stochastic fluctuations is unclear. We observed that a bacterial stress response gene, the (p)ppGpp synthetase sasA, exhibits high levels of extrinsic noise in expression, suggestive of a regulatory process. We traced this variability to the convergence of two signaling systems that together control the multisite phosphorylation of a transcription factor, an event largely unexplored in bacteria, This regulatory intersection between a Ser/Thr kinase and a prototypical two component system is crucial for controlling the appearance of outliers, rare cells with unusually high levels of sasA expression. Additionally, by examining the full distributions of gene expression we calculated the contribution of the additional Ser/Thr kinase-dependent phosphorylation in setting the relative abundance of cells with a given a level of SasA. We then created a predictive model for the probability of a given cell surviving antibiotic treatment as a function of sasA expression. Therefore, our data show that multisite phosphorylation can be used to strongly regulate variations in phenotypes across a bacterial population.

ACNE is a topic covered in the Harrison's Manual of Medicine.
Usually a self-limited disorder of teenagers and young adults. Comedones (small cysts formed in hair follicles) are clinical hallmark; often accompanied by inflammatory lesions of papules, pustules, or nodules; may scar in severe cases.
Careful cleaning and removal of oils; oral tetracycline or erythromycin; topical antibacterials (e.g., benzoyl peroxide), topical retinoic acid. Systemic isotretinoin only for unresponsive severe nodulocystic acne (risk of severe adverse events including teratogenicity and possible association with depression).

Why the wheels of justice turn ever slower in India
4 min read . Updated: 25 Dec 2019, 12:40 AM IST Dipti Jain & Tadit Kundu, Tadit Kundu
The backlog or the 'pendency rate' with India's courts and police reached its highest level since the turn of the twenty-first century in 2016, the latest year for which such data is available.
The lack of adequate policemen and judges seems to have slowed down India's criminal justice system
India's criminal justice system has an acute backlog crisis, and data on pending investigations and trials published recently by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) shows that this crisis is becoming more severe with each passing year. The backlog or the 'pendency rate' with India's courts and police reached its highest level since the turn of the twenty-first century in 2016, the latest year for which such data is available.
The pendency rate with courts refers to the number of cases for which trial has not been completed, expressed as a share of total cases on trial during the year. In case of police, backlog refers to the number of reported Indian Penal Code (IPC) crimes that have not yet been fully investigated.
While the backlog with courts appears much higher as compared to that in case of police, this should not make us conclude that our policemen are more efficient than our judges. There are two reasons why the headline pendency rate for police investigations may be misleading.
Firstly, the pendency rate in case of the police can be affected by the tendency to report crime. In a state with low levels of trust in the police force, pendency rate may be artificially low while in a state with higher level of trust in the force, the pendency rate may be high simply because many more cases may be reported and registered in such a state. Consider the states of Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, for instance. The former accounted for a mere 4% of all pending cases with police in 2016, despite accounting for 17% of India's population. In stark contrast, Delhi accounted for 14% of all pending cases despite a population share of only 1.4%.
"Cases pending for investigation are high as Delhi being the national capital, police officers are more aware about the latest guidelines issued by honourable courts relating to registration of FIRs," said Rahul Dev, an advocate with the Delhi high court.
The other reason behind the relatively lower pendency rate is that policemen may often send cases for trial without adequate investigation. This lowers the pendency rate for the police force while at the same time bumping up the pendency rate for courts.
Tackling the backlog crisis in India's criminal justice system will require more resources for both the police and the judiciary as India faces an acute shortage of both policemen and judges. High levels of vacancies compound the staffing problem. As of 1 January 2017, the vacancy rate among police officers across the country (civil and armed) was 22%. Uttar Pradesh has the highest vacancy rate, with more than half of sanctioned posts vacant, numbers tabled on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday show.
As the chart below shows, the number of police personnel and judges in India, as a proportion of its population, is far lower than in other major economies.
This also explains why the judiciary is able to dispose of barely one in ten cases in a year. According to the National Judicial Data Grid, one out of every four trials in courts has been pending for more than five years.
The lack of adequate personnel impedes the ability of the Indian state to maintain law and order, and effectively administer justice. This poses a big challenge to Indian democracy and to the Indian economy. The lack of an effective and fast criminal justice system tends to dampen appetite for investments in the country. And the lack of state capacity often encourages people to vote for local strong-men, who bypass formal channels while settling disputes and enforcing contracts in their areas of influence. As the political scientist Milan Vaishnav pointed out in his 2017 book When Crime Pays, such strong-men exploit ethnic cleavages and state failures to gain legitimacy as leaders and defenders of their respective ethnic groups. The preponderance of such leaders in the political system in turn create vested interests against police and judicial reforms.
The one silver lining in the data on trials and investigations is the rise in the rate of convictions among trials that have been completed. The conviction rate, expressed as a percentage of trials completed, has increased six percentage points over the past 15 years to 47% in 2016.
Conviction rate has been particularly high in cases of injury caused due to rash driving. Such cases accounted for one-fifth of all cases that the judiciary disposed of in the three years from 2014 to 2016 and 79% of these completed trials ended in conviction.
However, crimes against women, such as rapes and dowry deaths, continue to see a low conviction rate, of around 20%. The lack of convictions in rape cases is because witnesses often turn hostile, according to legal experts. The conviction rate is also quite low for cases of rioting, as an earlier Plain Facts column had pointed out.
The rise in the headline conviction rate notwithstanding, securing justice in India remains a Herculean task for an average citizen in the country.

This passage of scripture is so easy to write on but so difficult to live out. It's very convicting for me. Let's closely examine and take apart Romans 13:8-10 together.
Love is a debt that we will never pay-off. As soon as we pay it, we still owe more. It's tempting to think after we have done something good and loving toward someone else, that we did our "good deed" for the day or week or month. But that is not how God sees it.
So is this payment for our sins?
No, the love of God is infinite for us. We can never repay him nor should we try or we would be removing the grace that we received through Christ's love. Just as God's love is free to us – our love should be free to others. No strings attached.
It's an interesting debt because we do not repay it to the one who gave it but rather to others who do not deserve it.
In Matthew 22:34-40, we are told that the greatest commandment is to love God first and then to love our neighbor. So in this passage, that first commandment seems to be left out. But if we take it in the context of the entire book of Romans, we see that all of Romans is written about how much God deeply loves us. So our love for others is to spill over, from our first love – God.
This is mind blowing. After studying this section of scripture, I sat back in my chair and thought – I cannot even do this. This is beyond me. I'm so selfish.
So let's dissect this one statement.
1.) Love your neighbor as yourself -> We all love ourself.
This command to love others is based on our natural love of self.
I know that there is a lot of talk about self-esteem and teaching our kids how to love themselves, but at the end of the day – none of us have to teach our kids to be selfish. We don't have to teach them to have cravings and desires for themselves to be loved, fed, clothed, or to seek being number one, attention or happiness. We all have a natural drive to be happy and think of ourselves first. Sadly, even in the case of suicide, the people hurting are thinking of themselves and are driven to put themselves out of pain.
2.) Love your neighbor as yourself – >This is not a command to stop loving ourselves.
3.) Love your neighbor AS yourself ->The key word is "AS".
In the same, unstoppable way that you seek to make yourself happy in life, seek to make others happy.
In the same, unstoppable way that you seek to feed yourself, seek to feed others.
In the same, unstoppable way that you seek to be loved, love others.
In the same, unstoppable way that you seek to find comfort from your worries, comfort others.
In the same, unstoppable way that you seek to not be lonely, be a friend.
If you are energetic in pursing your own happiness, be energetic in pursuing the happiness of your neighbor. If you are creative in pursuing your own happiness, be creative in pursuing the happiness of your neighbor. If you are persevering in pursuing your own happiness, be persevering in pursuing the happiness of your neighbor.
Is there someone you need to love better? A friend, a spouse, a child, a co-worker or an enemy? Me too.
This chapter! Wow! I love the book of Romans and I am so thankful for this study and your thoughts. "As you seek to be loved, love others" so good! I did not really think about it this way. My thoughts were more along the lines of, "Well I do not overly love myself." But when you look at it from your perspective, there are so many times when I am selfish, and I seek love, happiness, and attention every day. I am sure that there are others who would love to have a little love and attention from me. For me to find a way to brighten their day!
I was thinking almost the same thing! Much of the time, I (feel like) I don't love myself at all, but I certainly do seek love and appreciation!
Thanks for a new perspective of this verse that I thought I already knew well enough, lol!
Courtney: You hit it right on in this blog today, as you always do! Thank you for your transparency as well. I have often said to myself "I can't possibly love others so deeply. It's not in me." But then, I remember that it can only be God loving through me to help it to be possible. "As I love myself, love others." A lot to think about today.
This is an eye opener for me, I never thought of this as something I was capable of…loving someone with the same desire I have to be loved! But supernaturally I can. I can't help but think in this present day and the amount of anger and all the things going on, what a solution this would be. Maybe I'm naive, but wouldn't this solve so many problems?
What a great way to look at it. It's just so dense, I feel like I need to meditate on this statement and how it should look in my life. Thank you for sharing your insight! This book could be a whole year's study! A whole lifetime, really!
This is difficult to live out, but so important. We should continue to strive to love our neighbors. Thanks for your inspiring post, and for sharing God's Holy Word in it.
I'm right there with you – how can I love my neighbor as myself? I, too, am selfish. God loves to stretch us beyond our comfort zones, doesn't He? But He loves it when we choose to obey (and allow Him to grow us into the people He created us to be) and step out of our comfort zones in faith (and allow Him to 'expand our borders'). Thanks for the reminder.


I was introduced to Ben Moren's work through the 2013 MN Biennial at The Soap Factory in Minneapolis.
I was completely entranced by Pao Houa Her's exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts last summer.
I met Ryan Aasen when he was a student at St. Cloud State University where I teach in the Art Department.
I met Hillary Berg through the Minnesota State Arts Board. She is also an FY 2015 recipient of an Artist Initiative Grant in Photography for her project County Lines.
Minnesota has such a rich community of photographers. To say selecting only five to represent Minnesota in the States Project was difficult is a huge understatement.
Since we began The Lenscratch States Project in April we have featured nine states that all brought unique bodies work to the table.

Art Guild's artist of the month featured at library
Wabash Valley Art Guild is featuring works by local artist Michael R. Elmore through the month of July in the Vigo County Public Library at Seventh and Poplar streets.
Elmore studied commercial and fine arts at Edwards School of Art and Ursuline Academy in Springfield, Illinois; at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.; and at Indiana State University. He has had paintings exhibited at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Swope Art Museum in Terre Haute, the Mayflower Arts Center in Troy, Ohio, and the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science. His paintings, sculptures, and murals are found in both public and private collections in Mexico, Colombia and Switzerland. He primarily works in oil, egg tempera, and encaustic media.
The July exhibit includes works that stemmed from travels, experiences, as well as inspirations drawn from other artists. On "Constanza Castro," a profile portrait, Elmore said that "... several contemporary painters in realism have adopted this simple design, proving you can capture character and personality even when the subject's eyes are not looking your way."
"Nature's Cathedral Transom" originated as Elmore walked a wooded lane that opened into a clearing bordering a lake. The branches above him "interlaced like the transom of a Gothic cathedral's stained glass window," Elmore said. "The composition here was borrowed from a painting by the early 20th-century Canadian artist, Tom Thompson — but flipped over. That is to say, the roots and the undergrowth became the transom of branches at the top of the painting, and the sky became the lake in the foreground."
Elmore's travels often include Oregon, United States, and Geneva, Switzerland, both of which have offered abundant views that have inspired some of his paintings, also included in the exhibit.
For more information on his art, Elmore can be contacted at hauteart14@gmail.com.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
Images of Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a 1994 American slasher metafilm written and directed by original Nightmare on Elm Street creator Wes Craven. Although it is the seventh film in the franchise, it is not part of the series continuity, instead portraying Freddy Krueger as a fictional movie villain who invades the real world and haunts the cast and crew responsible for his films. This was released on DVD by New Line Home Entertainment in January 5, 2006 on double feature Freddy vs. Jason.

Just as the first Nightmare film opened with the creation of Freddy's infamous glove, New Nightmare opens with the creation of an updated, more sinister and sleeker looking glove. As the maker of the claws appears to chop off his own hand in preparation for attaching the claws to his own wrist, the other people on the set wince, and the director, Wes Craven, encourages the effects specialists to pump more blood. Soon he yells, "Cut!! Print that, Gretchen!". Heather Langenkamp with her husband, Chase and their son, Dylan are wandering around the set of the new Nightmare on Elm Street movie.
Presently the claw, which was only a prop a minute ago, comes to life and starts maiming and killing the special effects crew, Dylan disappears into thin air, and, as the claw advances to attack Chase, Heather screams, waking up in her own bed in her own house with Chase, in the middle of an earthquake in Los Angeles. After the earthquake dies down Chase has a couple of scratches, the same as he had received in the dream. This causes Heather to wonder if they were sustained in the earthquake or in the dream.
Heather reveals she has been receiving harassing phone calls from "some deranged fan" acting like Freddy, but they've stopped for the last couple weeks until now. When she gets home, her son has an episode during which he warns her in a voice not his own, "Never sleep again!" Worried, Heather asks Chase to come home. Chase falls asleep at the wheel on the way, and dies in a supposed car crash. When Heather goes to identify the body, it seems, to her, that there may have been more to the crash than meets the eye, mainly the claw marks on Chase's chest. Dylan, now also grief-stricken, continues acting ever more strangely. When Heather takes him to a hospital, the doctors suspect her of being insane and of abusing him.
She goes to Wes Craven for help making sense of what's happening. Craven tells her he doesn't know much more than she does - he dreams a scene or two each night and wakes up and writes them down. He goes on to tell her that in the script he's been writing, pure evil can be temporarily defeated if its essence is effectively captured in a work of art that is able to allow evil to express itself. Craven explains that the evil has taken the form of Freddy Krueger because it is a familiar one. "Freddy" sees her as the gatekeeper who holds Freddy at bay since Heather's character Nancy defeated Freddy in the first movie. To Freddy, it is Heather that gave the character of Nancy her strength. Freddy is attacking her at her weakest points, trying to break her down before confronting her. She leaves as confused as when she arrived. Freddy forces her to accept the role he wants her to play. At the same time, he eviscerates the toy dinosaur Dylan believes has been protecting him and abducts the boy.
The final showdown between Freddy and the mother-son duo occurs in a steamy and water logged dreamscape ruin, apparently Freddy's home turf. Dylan finds Heather, only for them both to be attacked by Freddy, Heather is knocked out, Dylan is left defenseless. Freddy lures Dylan into a trap and tries to eat him, Heather wakes up in time to save Dylan, but Freddy makes his tongue extend and wrap around Heather's face. Dylan gets out of the trap to save her by taking a kitchen knife that Heather brought in with her, cutting Freddy's toungue in half, making his tongue go back to normal size. Even so, the two succeed in killing Freddy and escaping back to the real world. There they find the script of the film Craven has been working on waiting for them. Dylan asks his mother to read some of it to him, which she does: "We open on an old wooden bench. There's fire and tools, and a man's grimy hands building what's soon revealed as a gleaming set of claws. And the claws are moving now as if awakening from a long and unwanted sleep..."
