Word, phrase, number, or other sequence of units that may be read the same way in either direction
A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward as forward, such as madam or racecar. There are also numeric palindromes, including date/time stamps using short digits 11/11/11 11:11 and long digits 02/02/2020. Sentence-length palindromes ignore capitalization, punctuation, and word boundaries.
The palindrome ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ 'Wash your sins, not only your face' in Greek on a holy water font.
Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing.
The word palindrome was introduced by Henry Peacham in 1638.[1] It is derived from the Greek roots πάλιν 'again' and δρóμος 'way, direction'; a different word is used in Greek, καρκινικός 'carcinic' (lit. crab-like) to refer to letter-by-letter reversible writing.[2][3]

6 Notable palindromists
The ancient Greek poet Sotades (3rd century BCE) invented a form of Ionic meter called Sotadic or Sotadean verse, which is sometimes said to have been palindromic,[4] but no examples survive,[5] and the exact nature of the "reverse" readings is unclear.[6][7][8]
The Sator Square.
A palindrome was found as a graffito at Herculaneum, a city buried by ash in 79 CE. This palindrome, called the Sator Square, consists of a sentence written in Latin: "Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas" ("The sower Arepo holds with effort the wheels"). It is remarkable for the fact that the first letters of each word form the first word, the second letters form the second word, and so forth. Hence, it can be arranged into a word square that reads in four different ways: horizontally or vertically from either top left to bottom right or bottom right to top left. As such, they can be referred to as palindromatic.[citation needed]
A palindrome with the same square property is the Hebrew palindrome, "We explained the glutton who is in the honey was burned and incinerated", (פרשנו רעבתן שבדבש נתבער ונשרף; perashnu: ra`avtan shebad'vash nitba`er venisraf), credited to Abraham ibn Ezra in 1924,[9] and referring to the halachic question as to whether a fly landing in honey makes the honey treif (non-kosher).
Palindrome on the font at St Martin, Ludgate
The palindromic Latin riddle "In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni" ("we go in a circle at night and are consumed by fire") describes the behavior of moths. It is likely that this palindrome is from medieval rather than ancient times. The second word, borrowed from Greek, should properly be spelled gyrum.
Byzantine Greeks often inscribed the palindrome, "Wash [thy] sins, not only [thy] face" ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ ("Nip͜s on anomēmata mē monan op͜s in"), attributed to Gregory of Nazianzus,[5] on baptismal fonts; most notably in the basilica of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. A variant, also a palindrome, replaces the plural ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ("sins") by the singular ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑ ("sin"). This practice was continued in many churches in Western Europe, such as the font at St. Mary's Church, Nottingham and also the font of St. Stephen d'Egres, Paris; at St. Menin's Abbey, Orléans; at Dulwich College; and at the following churches in England: Worlingworth (Suffolk), Harlow (Essex), Knapton (Norfolk), St Martin, Ludgate (London), and Hadleigh (Suffolk).
A Greek poet in 1802 Vienna even composed a poem, Ποίημα Καρκινικόν (Carcinic Poem), in Ancient Greek, where every one of the 455 lines was a palindrome.[10][11]
In English, there are dozens of palindrome words, such as eye, madam, and deified, but English writers generally only cited Latin and Greek palindromic sentences in the early 19th century,[12] even though John Taylor had coined one in 1614: "Lewd did I live, & evil I did dwel" (with the ampersand being something of a "fudge"[13]). This is generally considered to be the first English-language palindrome sentence, and was long reputed (notably by James "Hermes" Harris) to be the only one, despite many efforts to find others.[10][14] (Taylor had also composed two other, "rather indifferent", palindromic lines of poetry: "Deer Madam, Reed", "Deem if I meed".[4]) Then in 1848, a certain "J.T.R." coined "Able was I ere I saw Elba", which became famous after it was (implausibly) attributed to Napoleon.[15][14]
In recent history, there have been competitions related to palindromes, such as the 2012 World Palindrome Championship, set in Brooklyn, USA.[16]
Famous palindromes[edit]
Some well-known English palindromes are, "Able was I ere I saw Elba" (1848),[17] "A man, a plan, a canal – Panama" (1948),[18] "Madam, I'm Adam" (1861),[19] and "Never odd or even".
English palindromes of notable length include mathematician Peter Hilton's "Doc, note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod"[20] and Scottish poet Alastair Reid's "T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad; I'd assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet."[21]
Characters, words, or lines[edit]
The most familiar palindromes in English are character-unit palindromes. The characters read the same backward as forward. Some examples of palindromic words are redivider, deified, civic, radar, level, rotor, kayak, reviver, racecar, madam, and refer.
There are also word-unit palindromes in which the unit of reversal is the word ("Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?"). Word-unit palindromes were made popular in the recreational linguistics community by J. A. Lindon in the 1960s. Occasional examples in English were created in the 19th century. Several in French and Latin date to the Middle Ages.[22]
There are also line-unit palindromes, most often poems. These possess an initial set of lines which, precisely halfway through, is repeated in reverse order, without alteration to word order within each line, and in a way that the second half continues the "story" related in the first half in a way that makes sense, this last being key.[23]
Sentences and phrases[edit]
Ambigram of the palindrome "Dogma I am God"
Palindromes often consist of a sentence or phrase, e.g., "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm", "Do geese see God?", "Was it a car or a cat I saw?", "Murder for a jar of red rum" or "Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog". Punctuation, capitalization, and spaces are usually ignored. Some, such as "Rats live on no evil star", "Live on time, emit no evil", and "Step on no pets", include the spaces.
Semordnilap[edit]
Semordnilap (palindromes spelled backward) is a name coined for words that spell a different word in reverse. The word was coined by Martin Gardner in his notes to C.C. Bombaugh's book Oddities and Curiosities of Words and Literature in 1961.[24]
An example of this is the word stressed, which is desserts spelled backward.
Some semordnilaps are deliberate creations. An example in electronics (although rarely used now) is the mho, a unit of electrical conductance, which is ohm spelled backwards, the unit of electrical resistance and the reciprocal of conductance. Similarly, the daraf, a unit of elastance, is farad spelled backwards, the unit of capacitance and the reciprocal of elastance. In fiction, many characters have names deliberately made to be semordnilaps of other names or words, such as Alucard (a semordnilap of "Dracula").
Semordnilaps are also known as emordnilaps,[25] word reversals, reversible anagrams,[26] heteropalindromes, semi-palindromes, half-palindromes, reversgrams, mynoretehs, volvograms, anadromes,[27][28][29] and levidromes.[30][31] They have also sometimes been called antigrams,[27] though this term usually refers to anagrams which have opposite meanings. As of October 2018, none of these terms have been accepted as official entries in the Oxford English Dictionary.[32]
Names[edit]
Some names are palindromes, such as the given names Hannah, Ava, Anna, Eve, Bob and Otto, or the surnames Harrah, Renner, Salas, and Nenonen. Lon Nol (1913–1985) was Prime Minister of Cambodia. Nisio Isin is a Japanese novelist and manga writer, whose pseudonym (西尾 維新, Nishio Ishin) is a palindrome when romanized using the Kunrei-shiki or the Nihon-shiki systems, and is often written as NisiOisiN to emphasize this. Some people have changed their name in order to make it palindromic (such as actor Robert Trebor and rock-vocalist Ola Salo), while others were given a palindromic name at birth (such as the philologist Revilo P. Oliver, the flamenco dancer Sara Baras, the sportswriter Mark Kram and the creator of the Eden Project Tim Smit).
There are also palindromic names in fictional media. "Stanley Yelnats" is the name of the main character in Holes, a 1998 novel and 2003 film. Four of the fictional Pokémon species have palindromic names in English (Eevee, Girafarig, Ho-Oh, and Alomomola).
The 1970s pop band ABBA is a palindrome using the starting letter of the first name of each of the four band members.
Numbers[edit]
Main article: Palindromic number
Main article: Periodic continued fraction
The digits of a palindromic number are the same read backwards as forwards, for example, 91019; decimal representation is usually assumed. In recreational mathematics, palindromic numbers with special properties are sought. For example, 191 and 313 are palindromic primes.
Whether Lychrel numbers exist is an unsolved problem in mathematics about whether all numbers become palindromes when they are continuously reversed and added. For example, 56 is not a Lychrel number as 56 + 65 = 121, and 121 is a palindrome. The number 59 becomes a palindrome after three iterations: 59 + 95 = 154; 154 + 451 = 605; 605 + 506 = 1111, so 59 is not a Lychrel number either. Numbers such as 196 are thought to never become palindromes when this reversal process is carried out and are therefore suspected of being Lychrel numbers. If a number is not a Lychrel number, it is called a "delayed palindrome" (56 has a delay of 1 and 59 has a delay of 3). In January 2017 the number 1,999,291,987,030,606,810 was published in OEIS as A281509, and described as "The Largest Known Most Delayed Palindrome", with a delay of 261. Several smaller 261-delay palindromes were published separately as A281508.
Every positive integer can be written as the sum of three palindromic numbers in every number system with base 5 or greater.[33]
The continued fraction of √n + ⌊√n⌋ is a repeating palindrome[definition needed] when n is an integer, where ⌊x⌋ denotes the integer part of x.[citation needed]
Dates[edit]
A day or timestamp is a palindrome when its digits are the same when reversed. Only the digits are considered in this determination and the component separators (hyphens, slashes, and dots) are ignored. Short digits may be used as in 11/11/11 11:11 or long digits as in 2 February 2020.
A notable palindrome day is this century's 2 February 2020 because this date is a palindrome regardless of the date format by country (yyyy-mm-dd, dd-mm-yyyy, or mm-dd-yyyy) used in various countries. For this reason, this date has also been termed as a "Universal Palindrome Day".[34][35] Other universal palindrome days include, almost a millennium previously, 11/11/1111, the future 12/12/2121, and in a millennium 03/03/3030.[36]
In speech[edit]
"Une Slave valse nue" played forward and backward
Problems playing this file? See media help.
A phonetic palindrome is a portion of speech that is identical or roughly identical when reversed. It can arise in context where language is played with, for example in slang dialects like verlan.[37] In the French language, there is the phrase une Slave valse nue ("a Slavic woman waltzes naked"), phonemically /yn slav vals ny/.[38] John Oswald discussed his experience of phonetic palindromes while working on audio tape versions of the cut-up technique using recorded readings by William S. Burroughs.[39][40] A list of phonetic palindromes discussed by word puzzle columnist O.V. Michaelsen (Ove Ofteness) include "crew work"/"work crew", "dry yard", "easy", "Funny enough", "Let Bob tell", "new moon", "selfless", "Sorry, Ross", "Talk, Scott", "to boot", "top spot" (also an orthographic palindrome), "Y'all lie", "You're caught. Talk, Roy", and "You're damn mad, Roy".[41]
Classical music[edit]
Centre part of palindrome in Alban Berg's opera Lulu
Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 47 in G is nicknamed "the Palindrome". In the third movement, a minuet and trio, the second half of the minuet is the same as the first but backwards, the second half of the ensuing trio similarly reflects the first half, and then the minuet is repeated.
The interlude from Alban Berg's opera Lulu is a palindrome, as are sections and pieces, in arch form, by many other composers, including James Tenney, and most famously Béla Bartók. George Crumb also used musical palindrome to text paint the Federico García Lorca poem "¿Por qué nací?", the first movement of three in his fourth book of Madrigals. Igor Stravinsky's final composition, The Owl and the Pussy Cat, is a palindrome.[42]
The first movement from Constant Lambert's ballet Horoscope (1938) is entitled "Palindromic Prelude". Lambert claimed that the theme was dictated to him by the ghost of Bernard van Dieren, who had died in 1936.[43]
British composer Robert Simpson also composed music in the palindrome or based on palindromic themes; the slow movement of his Symphony No. 2 is a palindrome, as is the slow movement of his String Quartet No. 1. His hour-long String Quartet No. 9 consists of thirty-two variations and a fugue on a palindromic theme of Haydn (from the minuet of his Symphony No. 47). All of Simpson's thirty-two variations are themselves palindromic.
Hin und Zurück ("There and Back": 1927) is an operatic 'sketch' (Op. 45a) in one scene by Paul Hindemith, with a German libretto by Marcellus Schiffer. It is essentially a dramatic palindrome. Through the first half, a tragedy unfolds between two lovers, involving jealousy, murder and suicide. Then, in the reversing second half, this is replayed with the lines sung in reverse order to produce a happy ending.
The music of Anton Webern is often palindromic. Webern, who had studied the music of the Renaissance composer Heinrich Isaac, was extremely interested in symmetries in music, be they horizontal or vertical. An example of horizontal or linear symmetry in Webern's music is the first phrase in the second movement of the symphony, Op. 21. A striking example of vertical symmetry is the second movement of the Piano Variations, Op. 27, in which Webern arranges every pitch of this dodecaphonic work around the central pitch axis of A4. From this, each downward reaching interval is replicated exactly in the opposite direction. For example, a G♯3—13 half-steps down from A4 is replicated as a B♭5—13 half-steps above.
Just as the letters of a verbal palindrome are not reversed, so are the elements of a musical palindrome usually presented in the same form in both halves. Although these elements are usually single notes, palindromes may be made using more complex elements. For example, Karlheinz Stockhausen's composition Mixtur, originally written in 1964, consists of twenty sections, called "moments", which may be permuted in several different ways, including retrograde presentation, and two versions may be made in a single program. When the composer revised the work in 2003, he prescribed such a palindromic performance, with the twenty moments first played in a "forwards" version, and then "backwards". Each moment, however, is a complex musical unit, and is played in the same direction in each half of the program.[44] By contrast, Karel Goeyvaerts's 1953 electronic composition, Nummer 5 (met zuivere tonen) is an exact palindrome: not only does each event in the second half of the piece occur according to an axis of symmetry at the centre of the work, but each event itself is reversed, so that the note attacks in the first half become note decays in the second, and vice versa. It is a perfect example of Goeyvaerts's aesthetics, the perfect example of the imperfection of perfection.[45]
In classical music, a crab canon is a canon in which one line of the melody is reversed in time and pitch from the other. A large-scale musical palindrome covering more than one movement is called "chiastic", referring to the cross-shaped Greek letter "χ" (pronounced /ˈkaɪ/.) This is usually a form of reference to the crucifixion; for example, the Crucifixus movement of Bach's Mass in B minor. The purpose of such palindromic balancing is to focus the listener on the central movement, much as one would focus on the centre of the cross in the crucifixion. Other examples are found in Bach's cantata BWV 4, Christ lag in Todes Banden, Handel's Messiah and Fauré's Requiem.[46]
A table canon is a rectangular piece of sheet music intended to be played by two musicians facing each other across a table with the music between them, with one musician viewing the music upside down compared to the other. The result is somewhat like two speakers simultaneously reading the Sator Square from opposite sides, except that it is typically in two-part polyphony rather than in unison.
Long palindromes[edit]
The longest palindromic word in the Oxford English Dictionary is the onomatopoeic tattarrattat, coined by James Joyce in Ulysses (1922) for a knock on the door.[47][48] The Guinness Book of Records gives the title to detartrated, the preterite and past participle of detartrate, a chemical term meaning to remove tartrates. Rotavator, a trademarked name for an agricultural machine, is often listed in dictionaries. The term redivider is used by some writers, but appears to be an invented or derived term—only redivide and redivision appear in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary. Malayalam, a language of southern India, is of equal length.
In English, two palindromic novels have been published: Satire: Veritas by David Stephens (1980, 58,795 letters), and Dr Awkward & Olson in Oslo by Lawrence Levine (1986, 31,954 words).[49] Another palindromic English work is a 224-word long poem, "Dammit I'm Mad", written by Demetri Martin.[50]
According to Guinness World Records, the Finnish 19-letter word saippuakivikauppias (a soapstone vendor), is the world's longest palindromic word in everyday use.[51]
Biological structures[edit]
Main article: Palindromic sequence
Palindrome of DNA structure
A: Palindrome, B: Loop, C: Stem
In most genomes or sets of genetic instructions, palindromic motifs are found. The meaning of palindrome in the context of genetics is slightly different, however, from the definition used for words and sentences. Since the DNA is formed by two paired strands of nucleotides, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (Adenine (A) with Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) with Guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) sequence of DNA is said to be a palindrome if it is equal to its complementary sequence read backward. For example, the sequence ACCTAGGT is palindromic because its complement is TGGATCCA, which is equal to the original sequence in reverse complement.
A palindromic DNA sequence may form a hairpin. Palindromic motifs are made by the order of the nucleotides that specify the complex chemicals (proteins) that, as a result of those genetic instructions, the cell is to produce. They have been specially researched in bacterial chromosomes and in the so-called Bacterial Interspersed Mosaic Elements (BIMEs) scattered over them. Recently[when?] a research genome sequencing project discovered that many of the bases on the Y-chromosome are arranged as palindromes.[52] A palindrome structure allows the Y-chromosome to repair itself by bending over at the middle if one side is damaged.
It is believed that palindromes frequently are also found in proteins,[53][54] but their role in the protein function is not clearly known. It has recently[55] been suggested that the prevalence existence of palindromes in peptides might be related to the prevalence of low-complexity regions in proteins, as palindromes frequently are associated with low-complexity sequences. Their prevalence might also be related to an alpha helical formation propensity of these sequences,[55] or in formation of proteins/protein complexes.[56]
Computation theory[edit]
In automata theory, a set of all palindromes in a given alphabet is a typical example of a language that is context-free, but not regular. This means that it is impossible for a computer with a finite amount of memory to reliably test for palindromes. (For practical purposes with modern computers, this limitation would apply only to impractically long letter-sequences.)
In addition, the set of palindromes may not be reliably tested by a deterministic pushdown automaton which also means that they are not LR(k)-parsable or LL(k)-parsable. When reading a palindrome from left-to-right, it is, in essence, impossible to locate the "middle" until the entire word has been read completely.
It is possible to find the longest palindromic substring of a given input string in linear time.[57][58]
The palindromic density of an infinite word w over an alphabet A is defined to be zero if only finitely many prefixes are palindromes; otherwise, letting the palindromic prefixes be of lengths nk for k=1,2,... we define the density to be
d P ( w ) = ( lim sup k → ∞ n k + 1 n k ) − 1 . {\displaystyle d_{P}(w)=\left({\limsup _{k\rightarrow \infty }{\frac {n_{k+1}}{n_{k}}}}\right)^{-1}\ .}
Among aperiodic words, the largest possible palindromic density is achieved by the Fibonacci word, which has density 1/φ, where φ is the Golden ratio.[59]
A palstar is a concatenation of palindromic strings, excluding the trivial one-letter palindromes – otherwise all strings would be palstars.[57]

THE MARTINI CHRONICLES: Healthy Snacking Delivered Straight to the Office...Thanks Graze!
Healthy Snacking Delivered Straight to the Office...Thanks Graze!
Quick story (I promise!)....a couple of weeks ago, a friend/colleague introduced me to a new way of snacking in the office. She was walking around the office with a box full of snacks. I was intrigued...a box full of snacks! Who doesn't love snacks?! When I asked her what she was eating, she told me it was a Graze box. We were heading into a meeting, so I didn't bother to ask for more details. A little later in the day, I walked back into my office and saw that she had left a little "coupon" for the Graze box on my keyboard. She also sent me a link to the Graze website. I had no clue what I was about to get myself into, but I went to the website anyway...snacks were involved! And once I checked out Graze.com, I was all in!
If you are as excited about snacks as I am, you are probably begging me to tell you about this Graze box. Graze is a service that delivers fresh boxes of healthy snacks to your home or office on a periodic basis. Each box contains 4 snacks (there are over 90 options), and is composed of healthy foods, including nut and seed mixes, dried fruits, crackers, dips and dippers, and other natural snacks. How do you get your box? You go to Graze.com and create an account. During the registration process, you input the address to which you want your Graze boxes delivered, and the frequency of your deliveries (i.e. weekly, every two weeks, once per month, etc.). You can even go through the catalog of snacks and select whether you want to try it, like it, love it, or trash it. Once your account is created, you can log on to see which snacks are on their way to you. You can also see and rate the snacks in the boxes you already received. My first Graze box was delivered to my office last week. Check it out!
Each Graze box costs $6, and is billed to the credit card you place on file during registration. I used my friend/colleague's code when I signed up, and ended up getting my 1st and 5th box for free...yay for me! And, you can modify your delivery preferences or cancel your subscription at any time.
So, why am I sharing this information with my fellow Divas and Gents? For one, many of us professionals who spend a lot of time in the office are more likely to snack throughout the day. Why not snack on something healthy? After all, beach weather is right around the corner...cakes, cookies, and chips are not conducive to the Summer body you spent all Winter creating. Each Graze box boasts a number of healthy benefits, each of which are noted on each package and represented by appropriate symbols. Each snack is also perfectly-portioned, so there's no post over-indulging guilt...there's no time for that!
Overall, I am super impressed with the concept of the Graze box. I enjoyed my snacks over the course of a week, and not once did I feel bad about what I was consuming. I can't wait to get my next box!
If anything I've written in this post is of interest to you, do yourself a favor and head over to Graze.com. Get your healthy snacking on!
Side note: Just so you all know, I was not compensated in any way by the wonderful owners of Graze. I am simply a humble attorney looking for healthy and tasty snacks to get me through my busy day...without adding extra inches to my hips...you dig?!
This definitely something I'm willing to try.

The diet with cinnamon and honey is one of the simplest and healthiest weight loss recipe there is. This particular recipe helps not only to burn calories fast, but it can even help to cure diseases.
Honey reduces the risk of heart disease and cholesterol. It has many vitamins and minerals, amino acids and antioxidants.
The good thing about honey is that it's a good substitute for sugar and it is also absorbed slower into the body.
Here is another great tip to know about honey: it can be a natural weapon against hayfever.
Try taking a spoonful a day, preferably starting before the pollen season.
Cinnamon, on the other hand, helps regulate blood sugar levels and prevents fat deposits from forming.
Put the cinnamon in a ceramic bowl and add a mug of hot water.
Leave the mixture for 15 minutes, as the cinnamon needs to dissolve.
After the mixture has cooled down add the honey and stir well.
Remember not to add the honey when the water is still hot! It is said that honey could become toxic if it's added in hot water.
Drink half a mug in the morning and the other half at night. It is best if you drink this before having your meals.
You can be on this diet for a longer period, depending on the number of pounds you want to loose.
For achieving faster results, you can always exercise for half an hour every day.
If you will make a habit out of consuming this drink in the morning (before breakfast), it will decrease your appetite and give you a feeling of fullness for a longer period in the day.
Consumed in the evening, honey and cinnamon can help accelerate your digestion process and helps your metabolism to burn calories.
Honey contains vitamins C, D, K and A, and organic acids, that help detoxify the body and turn fat deposits into energy. Cinnamon can maximize the burnt of calories both night and day.


Doesn't matter if they all get together in a room and make plans or not when one puppet master is driving them toward the same goal.
Amen brother. Jesus told us that we fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, etc.
When I was initially talking about "Socialists", I was referring to the conspiracy of Soviets who wanted to use Socialist ideology as a methodology of "divide and conquer," visa vi Bella Todd or Bezmenov, which - obviously the Soviet Union no longer exists, but according to the theory, the people they propped up - whether they were explicit Marxists or not - are still hell bent on destroying society by demoralization, ideological subversion, etc.
Well, when you have the Internet now, independent news outlets, etc., if there's explicit evidence of something nefarious, it's bound to be found it out.
We no longer live in a day and age where all of the media is exclusively controlled by a couple of corporations in cooperation with the government, to conceal and twist whatever fits their narrative - there's alternative and individual outlets nowadays to find information that mainstream news outlets wouldn't usually give, such that things can't be hidden as well.
There was an online personality named "Kraut" who felt like the "Alt-Right" was getting to powerful, so he created a Discord with other like-minded individuals, said Discord had the express goal of infiltrating Alt-Right platforms or destroying the reputation of Alt-Right figures.
There's a very controversial figure named "Andy Warski" who has a YouTube channel / stream whose purpose is Internet Bloodsports (where people who have a beef confront each other and rip into each other), and bringing in very controversial figures for debate (for example, there was a debate between Richard Spencer and Sargon of Akkad as to whether or not "race" exists or is just a construct; if there was a black race, a white race, an Asian race, etc., each with different characteristics).
Well, allegations came out with photo evidence of this Andy Warski allegedly texting sexual things to a 14 year old, and it was revealed that it was all a hoax by this Discord group.
Likewise, a woman who was a part of the group tried to setup a convention for Alt-Right speakers called "Killroy," making them sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to sabotage their reputation - but failed of course.
What do you know, someone who was a part of the group took screenshots of the group and posted it online, destroying the reputation of everyone in that group online and running off the guy who started it off the internet.
So, this was just a small group that got leaked and destroyed.
In the age of Internet where something like this can get leaked, how can a conspiracy that's so expansive over international society be hidden without any evidence, or anybody who was a part of it leaking what it is?
That's a true point, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they operate through puppet-master organizations.
After all, Stalin was a Seminarian - all it took was a demon to make him lose his faith, and what do you know? He becomes a dictator through an atheistic and utopian ideology, and he causes millions to be murdered. And based on his disturbing death, he is probably not in Heaven.
No, I don't think malicious ideologues trying to destroy Western Civilization = Freemasonry controlling all the banking institutions.
This is certainly true. But isn't it possible that Satan would lead some people astray by focusing their attention on phony little conspiracies, directing it away from the great battle? An extreme example: mightn't arguing against the reality of the moon landing be wasting time that could be spent fighting the errors against FAITH? Those who think you are crazy will be totally turned away from your religious arguments too. And some conspiracies, even if they are true, may be little distractions from the big ones. Would proving that the moon landing is phony (or that the earth is flat) bring people to the Church or prevent them from becoming atheists?
This isn't to say there aren't true conspiracies worth uncovering; those that are aimed pretty clearly against God and the Church: especially when exposure is likely to do some good or prevent some evil.
But isn't it possible that Satan would lead some people astray by focusing their attention on phony little conspiracies, directing it away from the great battle? An extreme example: mightn't arguing against the reality of the moon landing be wasting time that could be spent fighting the errors against FAITH?
No, you've got it backwards. Those who are hoodwinked by the lying fables of the world are not able to understand the Faith.
The world is spinning a story to deceive you and to make you unable to see the supernatural reality of God. Every time you go along with them, it's not just that you are helping to further the conspiracy, but you are deceiving yourself.
There's a very good and solid reason why the man who refused to go along with the lies about gas chambers is also the man who refused to go along with the surrender of Tradition. Having the courage to seek the truth when it is painful and inconvenient in one area makes you capable of seeking and finding and accepting the truth when it is painful and inconvenient regarding topics such as the true Catholic Faith.
Those who think you are crazy will be totally turned away from your religious arguments too.
If they do not recognize the truth when they hear it, then they were never among the predestined.
And some conspiracies, even if they are true, may be little distractions from the big ones. Would proving that the moon landing is phony (or that the earth is flat) bring people to the Church or prevent them from becoming atheists?
No, this is exactly wrong. One lie can never support a truth. One truth always supports other truths. The truth is all of one piece.
So too are the lies told by the masters of the world. Each little story here or there is like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle that when it is all put together reveals one over-arching image. The revolt of Lucifer against God.
"Live not by lies." It may seem prudent for you to decide whether or not "it is likely to do some good or prevent some evil" by exposing a lie. But that is a false, worldly prudence. Nearly every time we will decide that it's not worth it. "Why should I risk my own security by exposing falsehoods? It won't do any good."
See, here's the thing though - you are forcing a belief onto somebody of something which is irrelevant for salvation.
Let's assume ISIS doesn't really exist - they are nothing more than a proxy funded by the CIA. How is that relevant to your salvation?
Believe it or not, we are not going to be judged based on whether or not we know a conspiracy or not.
"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"
Okay Mr. J. Calvin, can you tell me how it's Catholic to believe that one can determine who is among the "predestined" by who they are and how they act?
Except the fact that that truth is your own opinion and is irrelevant for the puzzle of salvation.
I don't think, for instance, that if the Internet existed during Vatican II, it would have ended anywhere near the same way it did.
I honestly don't know how a Christian can't be a conspiracy theorist. Conspiracy theory is basically a part of the Christian faith. All history is a battle between two conspiracies (angelic & demonic). Demons had all kinds of temples, cults, and states under their power in the ancient world.
I understand where you're coming from. Not sure I would call the "good side" a conspiracy, though. We seem to terribly inept at keeping any plots together, for one thing.
Do you think they just gave up entirely after Christians kicked them off their thrones?
No. In fact, I'm not even saying there are no conspiracy theories. (A US civil court, for example, officially found that the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. was a government conspiracy.) But simply, I'm saying that the more elaborate a conspiracy is, the harder it is to keep up because the conspirators are still human. Taking an extreme example, there's a famous Jack Chick tract that claims the Vatican has a super-computer with a database of every single Protestant church member on earth, just waiting for the day when the CDF can unleash a new inquisition on the "true believers". As someone with experience working for the institutional Church, I can only dream the Church was 1% as efficient as it would take to pull off such an endeavor as that. I can't even identify all the Catholics in a 5-mile radius to send them appeal solicitations.
Wait...so is the Vatican NOT responsible for JFK's death, and Lincoln's death?
(it's disturbing people are so uneducated that they fall for these comics).
The enemy's greatest trick is making people think he doesn't exist.
One conspiracy theory that I wish were true is the one where the Order of Malta has black helicopters. I'm a Knight of the Order and, to be honest, would jump at the chance to get trained in how to fly a chopper. Alas, I've never gotten the invitation to go to covert ops flight school.

If America really valued mothers, we wouldn't treat them like this
By Ezra Klein@ezraklein Updated Nov 18, 2015, 2:15pm EST
Share All sharing options for: If America really valued mothers, we wouldn't treat them like this
A few years ago, a Mother's Day video from Cardstore.com went viral. In it, the company pretended to recruit for a seemingly impossible job. They told applicants that the job requires you to stand all day and put in 135 hours a week — or more. It means you have to work nights and weekends. There's no time off, and the hours increase around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other holidays. The position requires skill in finance, medicine ,and food preparation. It entails intense physical labor and a total collapse in your personal life. Oh, and it pays absolutely nothing.
They called the job director of operations, but its real title, of course, is mom.
Cardstore sent the video out into the world with the hashtag #WorldsToughestJob. But here's the thing about the world's toughest job: a lot of the people doing it also hold another job, or even a few other jobs. More than two-thirds of mothers hold jobs outside the home, and mothers are the primary earners in 40 percent of families. But in America, public policy makes balancing those jobs a lot harder than it has to be.
America is, for instance, one of the only countries in the world that doesn't guarantee paid maternity leave. This map from UCLA's World Policy Analysis Center tells the tale well: our maternal leave policies make us look more like Papua New Guinea than, say, any country in Western Europe:
(UCLA)
Of course, it would be easier for mothers to balance work inside and outside the home if fathers could spend more time parenting. But public policy is even less friendly to that prospect:
Sweden is an example of what it looks like when a country really believes that being a parent is a difficult and important job that needs to be supported by public policy. The country guarantees parents 480 paid days per child. Those days can be allocated as the parents see fit until the child is 8 years old. In order to encourage fathers to take on more parenting responsibilities, 60 of those days are specifically given to the father.
The United States, by contrast, is an example of what it look like when a country merely pays lip service to the importance of parents. While a handful of states, like California, offer modest paid maternal leave, there's no federal guarantee of either paid maternal or paternal leave. We make mothers choose between spending a month with their newborn child or keeping a roof over their child's head. That's not how it looks in countries that value the work mothers do.
The US doesn't even ensure that parents get leave they can use for child care. For instance, a lot of parents (sadly) use vacation days when they need a day off to care for a sick child. But in the US — unlike in every other developed nation — there is no guarantee of paid vacation days:
(Center for Economic and Policy Research)
Nor, of course, is there a guarantee of paid sick days. The Center for Economic and Policy Research looked at guaranteed paid leave policies for workers who got sick with a five-day flu and a 50-day cancer treatment. The distinction was meaningless in the US, though, as both situations presented the same answer: no guarantee of paid time off at all.
Meanwhile, mothers face constant job discrimination outside the home. After controlling for pretty much all the factors you can think of, researchers find that mothers face a 5 percent wage penalty for every child they have. The reason may be no more complicated than that they're mothers. One study asked subjects to review fictitious applicants for a job. Holding all else equal, "evaluators rated mothers as less competent and committed to paid work than non mothers, and consequently, discriminated against mothers when making hiring and salary decisions." There was no penalty against fathers.
So far, Cardstore's video has been viewed more than 25 million times. And every year, Americans celebrate a holiday to honor mothers. People know that being a mother is an incredibly hard and incredibly valuable job. But it's not a job America rewards. It's not a job public policy tries to make easier. And it is, in some cases, a job that makes it harder to get hired for, and paid fairly at, other jobs.
If we really value mothers as much as we say we do, we've got a long way to go to show it.

Champion Turf Horse and runaway Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. I) victor, English Channel is now firmly-established as not only one of North America's leading turf sires, but also as a horse capable of getting top-class runners one dirt, turf or all-weather surfaces. He has already sired 30 stakes winners, including Travers Stakes (gr. I) captor V. E. Day; classic winning champion Strait of Dover; grade one winners The Pizza Man, Interpol and Al's Gal; $2,000,000 earner Paranda; millionaire Heart to Heart; and other grade two winners Blueskiesnrainbows and Skyring.
This son of English Channel is half-brother to Keystoneforvictory, who defeated The Pizza Man to take the Stars and Stripes Handicap (gr. III), and who also captured the Forty Niner Stakes by 3¼ lengths. It's interesting to note that Keystoneforvictory is by Shakespeare, a son of Theatrical, also the broodmare sire of English Channel. Keystoneforvictory is the dam's first foal, and her second starter is Morning Stride, a 2017 two-year-old who is a maiden special weight winner on his turf debut.
The dam of this colt, Free Fee Lady, was beaten just a neck on her debut, and was then victorious in a maiden special weight, the Bison City Stakes – which she took by four lengths over Champion Embur's Song – and Wonder Where Stakes, on her only other outings. Free Fee Lady is also a sister to Drake's Victory, successful in the California Cup Mile Handicap.
The granddam is out of a daughter of Gay Serenade, winner of the Gallorette Stakes and Pageant Handicap. Gay Serenade is dam of graded stakes winners Gulls Cry and Gala Regetta, and stakes winner Tom's Serenade. Gay Serenade is also ancestress of graded stakes winners Navesink, Nemain and Derrianne, and stakes winners Squadron, Tapitation, Okie Smokey, Grand Reserve, Notable Okie, Anclote, Efficient Frontier, Synergist, Fly Love, Tea Box, Imah and Arctic Eclipse.
This is also the family of Kentucky Derby (gr. I) hero and classic sire, Grindstone; Spinaway Stakes (gr. I) victress Buzz My Bell; Pass Catcher, successful in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I); and Champion Free My Heart.

Q: PsychoPy Coder : text.stim or not text.stim
*

*Situation
I'm using the PsychoPy coder to create a random dot motion task in speed-accuracy trade-off situation. I want to have a letter for fixation point to inform subject if they are in "speed" condition or in "precision" (on every trial), so I first thought of simply drawing a text.stim (like "S" or "P"). But I heard that text.stim was pretty slow to draw and because of the dynamic nature of the RDK task if the text.stim needs to much time I'm afraid that it will impact the display of the dots.

*

*Question
I'm I right?
And if so what would be the best way to draw the "fixation letters"?

A: Well it seems that I found the answer in the TextStim reference manual so I put it here in case someone needs it:

Performance OBS: in general, TextStim is slower than many other visual stimuli, i.e. it takes longer to change some attributes. In general, it's the attributes that affect the shapes of the letters: text, height, font, bold etc. These make the next .draw() slower because that sets the text again. You can make the draw() quick by calling re-setting the text (myTextStim.text = myTextStim.text) when you've changed the parameters.

So the slowing seems to concern the changing of the attributes which is not my situation.

A: If you've just got one letter being drawn it shouldn't have a major impact on your RDK, but just check whether frames are being dropped. All these things depend on graphics card and CPU speed so you need to test individually for each machine/experiment

IBM® z/VM® 6.2 introduced significant changes to z/VM with a multi-system clustering technology that allows up to four z/VM instances in a single system image (SSI) cluster. This technology is important because it offers you an attractive alternative to vertical growth by adding new z/VM systems. In the past, this capability required duplicate efforts to install, maintain, and manage each system. With SSI, these duplicate efforts are reduced or eliminated.
Support for live guest relocation (LGR) allows you to move Linux virtual servers without disrupting your business or incurring loss of service, thus reducing planned outages. The z/VM systems are aware of each other and take advantage of their combined resources. LGR enables you to relocate guests from a system requiring maintenance to a system that will remain active during maintenance.
A major advantage for DB2 v10 customers is that using z/VM 6.2 does not require any changes to existing DB2 structures. This remarkable benefit is due to the fact that DB2 v10 is installed as part of the LInux guest on z/VM and is fully integrated into LGR. This allows you to smoothly move DB2 v10 when you move Linux virtual servers, without interrupting either DB2 v10 or z/VM operations and services.

Sen. Mel Martinez, the first-term lawmaker who previously served in President Bush's Cabinet, will assume the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, GOP officials said Monday.
Martinez, 60, will replace current chairman Ken Mehlman, who will leave the post in January at the end of his two-year term, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting a formal announcement.
Martinez will remain in the Senate. Mike Duncan, the RNC's current general counsel and a former party treasurer, will run the day-to-day operations at the party's Capitol Hill headquarters.
Martinez was tapped in 2001 as President Bush's secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He resigned in 2003 to run for the open Senate seat created when incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Graham decided not to seek another term. Martinez was elected with 49 percent of the vote _ a slim margin that was credited to Bush's win in that state.
Mel Martinez? Well, since the Republicans are in the minority, I suppose the extra work won't interfere with his legislative duties, but it's hardly an inspiring choice for conservatives. Martinez himself has an exceptionally inspiring biography, of course; he fled Castro's Cuba at 15, without his family, who followed four years later. He taught himself English and put himself through college and law school. He served as a county party chair for three years and helped deliver Florida -- barely -- for George Bush. After that, Bush tapped him to run HUD, and he won his current seat in 2004.
Conservatives have problems with Martinez over his moderate position on immigration most of all. Martinez supported the McCain-Kennedy comprehensive reform plan, as did Bush. For those who see that as a major problem in energizing the base, choosing him as RNC chair seems like putting out a fire with gasoline. Even his decision to remain in the Senate irritates them, because a resignation would allow Jeb Bush or Charlie Crist to nominate a replacement, one more inclined to champion the conservative cause on immigration.
This makes Steele more likely to get an offer to join the Bush Cabinet, perhaps in Martinez' old job at HUD. It still seems like a bad choice for Steele, who might want to keep his options open in Maryland instead. Spending two years in a lame-duck Cabinet hardly seems to be a career-builder, especially at HUD.
And Ed Morrissey (whose conservative blog understandably gets many readers of all political persuasions) says it's an "underwhelming choice."

Has America Become Immigrant Nation?
There are more than 11 million illegal aliens in the U.S. But could you spot one in a crowd? They're not always who you think they are
By Sarah Garland
M. Clamer: Photo used for illustrative purposes only
As you read this story, more than 11 million undocumented immigrants are living in your country. Another 400,000 are expected to arrive by next year. Yet despite their large numbers, you may never have seen an illegal immigrant-- or if you have, you don't know it. Afraid of being found out and deported, they often work while you are sleeping. They live on the other side of town. They don't go to the doctor when they're sick or to the police if they're victims of crime. Smugglers prey on their vulnerability; employers often abuse them with impunity. Many pay taxes but will never collect government benefits because of their illegal status. Still, they come. Some come to work in jobs Americans don't want. Others are captured by the country's spirit, letting a vacation lapse into a permanent stay. All are looking for something they didn't have at home: hope. Two major immigration reforms, in 1986 and 1996, couldn't slow their steady flow across America's borders: The number of undocumented has doubled since the early 1990s. But the reforms have made coming here more dangerous: New fences and more agents along the U.S.-Mexico border force immigrants to cross in increasingly remote areas. Since '96, more than 3000 people have died in the desert. This past year, while thousands of undocumented immigrants and their supporters held protests to bolster their demands for reform, Congress introduced two new bills in the latest attempt to fix the system. The Senate bill would introduce a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants; the House bill focuses on penalizing the undocumented by making it a felony to be here illegally. Both bills propose more fences and an even bigger border patrol. What these bills don't do is diminish the mix of desperation and ambition that brings people here in the first place. Officially, they are called "illegal aliens," but their dreams may not be too different from your own.
"I was on my way to becoming a doctor. Now, everything's up in the air."
AMEERA, 20, FROM BANGLADESH
Ever since I can remember, I have dreamed of becoming a doctor. My family is from Bangladesh originally, but I grew up in Saudi Arabia in a community of immigrant doctors and engineers. School was my life. I went to class, came home, and did my homework. When my oldest brother got accepted to a college in the United States, everyone assumed I would be next—until he got sick. My brother was hospitalized for depression after falling out of a third floor window at his university. When my parents got the call, my mother told me to pack a bag--we were going to New York City to take care of him. My father stayed behind. I remember worrying: How could I miss several weeks of classes before my final exams? It wasn't until we got to America that I realized we weren't going back. The way my parents explained it, my brother would never get the same quality medical treatment outside of the U.S. He could lose his mind forever, but in New York, he had access to the world's best doctors. So we stayed. After my brother got sick, I wanted to be a doctor more than ever. I went to high school in Queens and graduated with honors, ranking sixth in my class of 577. I edited the high-school yearbook and volunteered as a math tutor. I won a statewide award from the attorney general. I could have won a scholarship to a prestigious college of my choice, but I wasn't able to apply because I didn't have any papers. Thankfully, I still got a scholarship from City University of New York Honors College—under New York state law, it admits resident undocumented students who show good high-school records. Without that, it would have been hard to go to college at all. I chose biochemistry as my major. I was in the premed program, with a GPA of over 3.5. Then I started to apply for internships at hospitals, a helpful resume addition when applying to medical schools. Recently, I received all rejection letters. Because I'm not legal, the hospitals wouldn't even look at my applications. I thought at least one program would have made an exception, given my grades. Five years ago, before 9/11, this would never have happened-- no one thought about immigrants as posing a safety threat then. So I'm beginning to accept that my career plans have to change. When I tell friends I'm not going to med school anymore, they're shocked. But I try not to think about it too much, because I have to face reality. I've thought about going home, but I don't know anybody in Bangladesh anymore, and the school system is completely different. I would have to start all over. And in Saudi Arabia, as a woman, it would be nearly impossible to get a job. So for now, I'm just trying to graduate from college. I don't even know if I'll be able to get a job afterward; I can't plan anything. I've come so far toward achieving my goal. But without papers—or a change in the system—I don't have a future.
"I paid for my mother's surgery and my sister's college education by working in America."
TERESA, 25, FROM MEXICO
I didn't know what the word "poverty" meant when I was a little girl—or that it described my life. I grew up in a village on the edge of Mexico City in a house without a toilet or a telephone. I remember making mayonnaise sandwiches for lunch because there was nothing else to eat. Every year, my four siblings and I alternated whose turn it was to get a new pair of shoes. If we wanted to go to school, we had to bring along concrete blocks to sit and write on, because there were no chairs or desks. When it rained, school was canceled because the building was made of tin, and it leaked. When I asked my parents for a notebook and pencils for my classes, they said we didn't have the money. My younger brothers and sisters complained, but I was the oldest, and I understood. At age 7, I got a job working as a maid in the city during my school vacations. The wealthy señoras paid me a dollar a day to wash dishes, mop floors, and do laundry. I was proud to help my family. I gave some of my wages to my mom; the rest I used to buy candy for my brothers and sisters. Eventually I dropped out of school, even though I loved it. I know I could have succeeded, but no money for textbooks meant I failed most of my classes. Then, at age 19, I got word from my childhood friend Carlos: He was in New York City, earning $200 a week. I said to him, "Wow, you're a millionaire!" He said he'd send for me. The day I left, my parents hugged me and said, "May it go well with you," and that was it. I didn't cry until I was on the bus, so they wouldn't see me. I thought, It's better to go to America with a smile than to bring your tears. That was more than five years ago, and I haven't seen my family since. I've been working at a factory ironing sweaters—$1 for every 12 sweaters. I make around $200 a week and live in an apartment with three other immigrants. Not long ago, my mom needed an operation, and my family begged me to come home. They told me that it might be the last time I would see her, but I refused to cross back into Mexico. I knew I could help her more if I stayed here, so I kept working and paid for her surgery. She survived. Now, thanks to the money I send home, one of my sisters is in college and my other siblings are in school, too. I miss them, but if I weren't in the U.S., they could never afford such education. I know people say we shouldn't be here, but we pay taxes. They say we're taking work from those who are born here, but the work I do, others don't want. I think about going back, but I can't. My family needs me here.
"I'm putting 110 percent into the immigrationreform movement, because if it fails, I fail."
SAMANTHA, 31, FROM IRELAND
People don't look at me and think, There's an illegal alien—but that's what I am, even though I'm white, I speak English, and I'm working on a master's degree in psychology. Growing up, I had what we in Ireland call "itchy feet." I always wanted to travel and search for something better. But you can't tell my story without telling the whole history of Ireland: After the mass migration during the potato famine, it became almost a rite of passage for young Irish people to come to the U.S. When I was 11 years old, a teacher asked my class what we dreamed for our futures. I raised my hand and said, "I want to change the world," and then I added, "and I want to go to America." After I graduated from college in '97, I came to New York to visit for a couple of months. I found a job bartending and made some good friends. Months quickly turned into years. I moved back to Ireland for a while, but I was miserable. There was nothing for me there, so I returned to the U.S. If someone had told me then that in 2006 I would still be undocumented and working as a bartender, I'd have said, "Are you crazy?" And yet, here I am. For five years, I waited and hoped. I was sure that any day, Congress would pass a law allowing immigrants with steady jobs to stay here. In the meantime, I got married (to an undocumented Irishman), went back to school, and tried to live life as normally as possible. But I can't travel home to see my family. I miss funerals and weddings, and I can't move ahead with my career because I have to take jobs that pay in cash. I haven't had children, because what if I'm deported? My kids could stay—they'd be U.S. citizens—but I'd have to leave. It's like somebody pressed pause on my life plans. From the outside, it probably sounds crazy that anyone would want to live like this, but when you're on the inside, you just get on with it. You're always thinking, I'm going to get the visa, I can't live like this forever, something is definitely going to happen. Then I realized nothing would happen if I didn't get involved. I joined the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform and began speaking out at marches and meeting with members of Congress. The goal of the group is comprehensive reform, not just for Irish people, but for every immigrant group in America. I turned 31 in July, and there are so many things I want to do in life—set up my own counseling program, start a family—but I can't do them without a visa. So I'm focused on getting Congress to pass this bill. Without it, I lose everything I've dreamed about.
