7 examples of famous savants with incredible talents
Imagine a person capable of memorizing a book page in 10 seconds, who is also able to memorize 8,000 books and memorize all the postal codes of a country as large as the United States. He would have prodigious mental abilities, right? Well, that person exists, and along with other people that we are going to talk about in this article, he has the savant syndrome (or the "wise" syndrome).
The famous savants that we will see have extraordinary abilities or talents , especially related to the overdevelopment of the right hemisphere: artistic abilities (music, painting, sculpture), visuals, mathematical calculations, mechanical and spatial abilities, etc.

Examples of famous savants
Although surely there are many famous savants that we are going to leave to comment, we will make a recap of what are possibly the best known worldwide . We must clarify that only one savant woman is included in this list, since at an epidemiological level women have this syndrome much less frequently.
1. Kim Peek
Surely it is the most famous savant in the world, in fact, the film Rain Man was made in his memory to publicize the case. Kim Peek possessed an immeasurable memory capacity that allowed him to perfectly remember the almost 10,000 books he had read (he hardly took an hour to memorize them), as well as memorize all the US maps in detail. In addition, I could use each eye to read a different page. Paradoxically, he was a person highly dependent on others, because he was not able to take care of himself and needed the help of others for the basic activities of daily life.
As a curious fact, in 2004 NASA was interested in the case of Kim Peek and wanted to study the functioning of his brain and brain structure through the realization of magnetic resonances. Finally, it was concluded that Peek very possibly He had a strange genetic syndrome linked to the X chromosome which is related to macrocephaly and hypotonia. In 2009, Kim Peek died of a heart attack.

2. Daniel Tammet
This Briton has become a famous savant because of his great ability to learn multiple languages with amazing ease (He learned Icelandic in one week and speaks 11 languages, including Spanish), as well as his ability to carry out really complex mathematical calculations.
Tammet has acknowledged in his memoirs (Born on a Blue day) that he has Asperger, epilepsy and synesthesia. This character has the record in Europe in memorizing the number Pi , reaching about 22,514 digits in less than five hours.
As a curious fact, Daniel Tammet has created his own language, called "Manti", similar to Finnish.
3. Matt Savage
This young American with 25-year-old Asperger's Syndrome learned to read before 18 months of age. He is known at the state level for his musical gifts , both at the level of execution and in the musical composition. He has released several solo albums and also as part of Matt Savage's Trio and has appeared on numerous well-known American television shows, such as Late Show with David Letterman.
4. Stephen Wiltshire
Wiltshire is a well-known London artist who has a great ability to draw landscapes and urban or architectural buildings with only having seen them once . According to Wiltshire, drawing has always been his preferred means of communication, since as a child he had difficulties when communicating (he was 3 years old and he did not speak) and began using the artistic medium to express himself.
On one occasion he accurately sketched the old town of London after flying over it in a helicopter. His work became so famous that even the famous writer Oliver Sacks wrote a chapter about him in one of his books: An anthropologist on Mars.
5. Tony Deblois
Tony Deblois was born blind in 1974, and began playing the piano at the early age of 2 years. He was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and is considered "savant" due to his incredible musical skills . Although he says to be specialized in the musical genre of Jazz, he is capable of playing any type of music.
He can play more than a dozen instruments, so he has a great musical versatility in all its precision. Further, has the ability to play more than 8,000 memory songs thanks to his prodigious abilities.Currently, he makes several international tours, both solo and with his music group Goodnuf.
6. Temple Grandin
This American woman is a psychologist, zoologist, ethologist and university professor at the University of Colorado. He has publicly acknowledged that he has Asperger's Syndrome and has shared his subjective experience worldwide, always fighting for the rights of people with this syndrome. As in the case of Stephen Wiltshire, Oliver Sacks dedicated a chapter of that same book to the history of Temple Grandin, being one of the first first-person accounts of someone who had Asperger's Syndrome .
He has always been concerned about animal exploitation in the United States and the cruel methods of death used on American farms and ranches. He has worked to maximize animal welfare by devising ways to reduce pain and cruelty in killing animals for meat consumption, applying his prodigious abilities to re-design slaughterhouses and ranches.
7. Alonzo Clemons
As a child, Alonzo Clemons suffered a brain injury that affected his normal development, but he has an extraordinary ability to create very detailed and precise animal sculptures. He is considered a great sculptor of animal figures , which can be sold for $ 45,000.
Clemons can reproduce an animal in a clay sculpture in less than an hour with only having seen it once. In parallel, he also makes sculptures in real size, highlighting among them the horse versions.

Back Stories and Sequels: Jean Rhys and Jane Eyre, and P.D. James and Jane Austen, too
Filed under: Books and writing,Law,storytelling,Victorian literature,women,women — Helen Gunnarsson @ 12:01 am
Tags: Death Comes to Pemberley, Jane Austen, Jane Eyre, Jean Rhys, P.D. James, Pride and Prejudice, The Wide Sargasso Sea
From another literature-loving family member comes this link to a hilarious commentary by Sarah Rees Brennan on Charlotte Bronte's classic 19th-century novel, "Jane Eyre." It reminded me, of course, of Edan Lepucki's wonderful essay from The Millions, "Mr. Rochester is A Creep," which I noted some time ago.
I love Jane Eyre, and will defend her to the death, but Brennan and Lepucki have a point. Years before they wrote their pieces, in 1966, Jean Rhys wrote the back story of Mr. Rochester's first wife, Bertha Mason, nee Antoinette Cosway and explored Mr. Rochester's creepy qualities to a degree that I'm certain Bronte never considered. Rhys's novel is "The Wide Sargasso Sea," awarded the Cheltenham Booker Prize in 2006.
Rhys's novel was enthralling, at least in part, I think, because she didn't try to imitate Charlotte Bronte's style. The tropical colonial setting she chose for her story of Antoinette's upbringing was as different as could be from Jane Eyre's and Mr. Rochester's England, which went far toward explaining Antoinette's breakdown, and deserved its own style—not warmed-over Bronte.
Rhys did a great job of taking another author's characters and putting them into her own story. But not all writers are as effective. A dear and thoughtful friend (thanks, MSH!) gave me P.D. James's recently published sequel to Jane Austen's 19th-century "Pride and Prejudice," "Death Comes to Pemberley," in which James uses Austen's characters to continue the story. The book was a mildly fun read and held my interest, but ultimately left me only lukewarm. I think part of the problem was that, unlike Rhys, James strove to imitate Austen's style. James may be a very fine writer when she tells a story in her own voice (alas, I haven't read her other novels, though I know James has many, many devoted fans), but let's face it: Nobody can possibly do Jane Austen the way Jane Austen did Jane Austen.
I'm glad I read James's book, though: Her treatment got me thinking about the characters and led me to some insights that I might not have reached otherwise. It also gave me a good push to reread P&P after a couple of decades. In fact, as a result of reading James's novel as well as Azar Nafisi's "Reading Lolita In Tehran" (my personal Best Book Read in 2010), I'm certain that I enjoyed this reread significantly more than I would have otherwise.
Lawyer literary buffs will be interested to know that James included passages on 19th-century English legal procedure in her book. She worked for years in contemporary British courts, and I'm certain she did her research on past practices. As I wrote earlier, "Jane Eyre" and "The Wide Sargasso Sea" raise a multitude of legal issues, especially about the treatment of women and of the mentally ill in days not so far gone by.
Wouldn't it be fun to hear Charlotte Bronte's and Jane Austen's reactions to Rhys's and James's explorations of their characters? Would Bronte see that Mr. Rochester really is a bit creepy? Would Austen agree with James's continuation of Lydia's unqualified dreadfulness? What do you think?
Vote today! Suffrage and stories of women's lives and the law
Filed under: Books and writing,fiction,Law,mental health,property,reading,storytelling,Victorian literature,women,women — Helen Gunnarsson @ 12:01 am
Tags: Bronte sisters, Connie Schultz, Jane Eyre, Jean Rhys, suffrage, vote, Wide Sargasso Sea
Yesterday a friend forwarded an e-mail headed "Voting rights for women." The e-mail's text reviewed the imprisonment and deplorable treatment of women who peacefully picketed the White House in November, 1917, carrying signs criticizing President Woodrow Wilson for opposing women's suffrage, and noted that women in the US didn't have the right to vote until 1920. That's not even a century ago; there are people still alive who can remember 1920.
The e-mail, which reprints a February 19, 2004 column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Connie Schultz, refers to an award-winning 2004 HBO movie, "Iron Jawed Angels." An excerpt: "It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul [one of the picketers] insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized." The Wimminwise blog from The Women's Center at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary has more information about the e-mail and its story, including links to the Library of Congress, from which the photos in the e-mail appear to have been taken, and Snopes.com, which checked out the story's facts and determined them to be true.
I've long thought that modern women who protest "I'm not a feminist, but…." should think more carefully about what their lives would be like without those who marched, protested, and engaged in other unladylike behavior that challenged the mainstream thinking of their day and no doubt earned them condemnation from their families and neighbors. Stories from and about the 19th century are a great way to start thinking about the transformation in the law and women's lives.
I posted a couple of months ago about Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" and Jean Rhys's "The Wide Sargasso Sea," the back story of Bertha Rochester. Rhys's story highlights the worst-case possibilities for women in loveless marriages not so long ago. Because women were raised to be supported by their husbands, because whatever property had been theirs became their husbands' upon marriage, and because, indeed, women lost their legal identities upon marriage until the enactment of laws giving them rights, there wasn't much married women could do without permission from their husbands. Divorces were both difficult to obtain and socially unacceptable in 19th century England, and, in any event, it would have been far more difficult for a divorced woman then to support herself than even in today's challenging economic times.
Jane Austen's novels (which Bronte didn't like) are also windows into the world of middle- and upper-class English women in the 19th century. Though she wrote her novels with a delightful sense of humor, Austen shows very clearly the limited and bleak choices of those women: marriage or relying on male relatives who may or may not have been kind or congenial for support. Working-class women, of course, had equally dreary choices and even harder lives. Though they could and, indeed, often had to work outside the home to support themselves and their families, their options were domestic service, low-paid manual labor, or prostitution.
It seems comical today to note that writing was considered unfeminine and inappropriate for women in Charlotte Bronte's day. And it's poetic justice that Robert Southey, England's Poet Laureate from 1813 to 1843, is probably remembered more for his advice to the 20-year-old Charlotte Bronte to leave writing to men, for "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life," than for any of his poetry.
For literary smiles, check out this YouTube video on Bronte Sisters Power Dolls from FineMoustaches. And if you're a US citizen, read Connie Schultz's column in the Plain Dealer from Sunday, and don't forget to vote.

Jane Eyre and mental illness
Filed under: Books and writing,fiction,Law,mental health,Read This!,Victorian literature — Helen Gunnarsson @ 12:01 am
Tags: 19th century, Bronte Blog, Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre, Jean Rhys, mental illness, Victorian literature, Wide Sargasso Sea
Earlier this week I urged readers to read or reread Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre." In that post, I referenced two totally delightful articles analyzing the book and Mr. Rochester in particular that I came across while surfing the Bronte Blog.
As both articles indicate, Jean Rhys wrote Bertha Rochester's backstory in "The Wide Sargasso Sea," which won the Cheltenham Booker Prize in 2006 for the year 1966. Rhys's sympathetic treatment of the first Mrs. Rochester, whom Bronte portrayed as an inconvenient, crazy hag whose death was a relief for all, highlights how far we've come in attitude towards and treatment for the mentally ill since Mr. Rochester locked his wife up in her attic room.
Present-day advocates for the mentally ill, though, will point out that treatment resources are still woefully inadequate, as I've noted in articles such as "Involuntary administration of psychotropic drugs: Does Illinois need new standards?" and "Bill would make involuntary commitment easier" in the January 2003 and August 2007 issues, respectively, of the Illinois Bar Journal. (In the forthcoming October 2010 issue of the same publication I discuss the recent changes in the standard for involuntary commitment in Illinois's Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code and quote University of Chicago clinical professor of law Mark J. Heyrman, whose lucid commentary always gets to the heart of the matter.) And, of course, mental illness or the hint of it still carries a strong stigma, though, unlike Charlotte Bronte, we no longer generally refer to someone who's mentally ill as a "lunatic," a "maniac," or using the pronoun "it." For those who are interested, the website of Mental Health America of Illinois is a good starting point.
What are your favorite 19th century novels? How about your favorite novels that deal with mental illness?

Kingston's Bereavement Service achieves gold status
By Hannah Hastings
June 15 2018, 14:00
Kingston Council's Bereavement Service received the highest national accredited standard in cemetery and crematorium services this month.
The team in Bonner Hill Road, joins one of 42 councils in the country to obtain this gold standard award under the Charter of the Bereaved Scheme.
To be considered for the Charter, local authorities must achieve the basic targets and developments in helping families and friends arranging funerals for loved ones.
Manager and registrar Howard Greenoff said: "We're all so thrilled to receive this award. The Bereavement Services team is like a family, and come rain or shine, we're here together working on site.
"I think the dedication and camaraderie we share helps us to deliver a quality service for Kingston residents – we treat our bereaved customers with the same care and compassion with which we would treat each other. This also means we understand what help and support our customers need to get them through a very difficult time."
With 42 acres of cemetery space to maintain, the service is annually assessed on social and environmental qualities in order to remain a Charter Member.
The bereavement team accomplished an incredible 474 out of 485 cremations and 603 out of 619 burials which met the bespoke gold standard criteria.
Kingston Cemetery's 53-year-old team leader, who has worked there for 17 years, said: "It is very nice to be recognised. The whole team work very hard on the grounds and to give the community the cemetery they deserve.
When asked to describe what makes working in the funeral business special, the team leader said: "It's very rewarding to help people in their time of need and to help them through the grieving process."
Councillor Dave Ryder-Mills, offered his congratulation to the Kingston team.
He said: "I'm delighted for the team to see their efforts recognised. The loss of a loved one can have a significant impact on our wellbeing and the team has clearly developed a 'value-added' service with a clear sense of community purpose that extends beyond the cemetery walls."
Several famous people have been laid to rest since Kingston Cemetery opened in 1855, including Donald Swanson, chief inspector during the Jack the Ripper murders.
Pilot bomber Cyril Joe Barton, who posthumously received the Victoria Cross during World War II, is also buried here as his final resting place.

Today's Question: I don't know how I never knew about this, but I just learned that my camera has a mirror lockup feature. Should I leave this turned on always?
Tim's Quick Answer: I only recommend enabling the mirror lock-up feature when you are using a shutter speed that is at (or very close to) 1/15th of a second. At shutter speeds that are a bit faster or slower than 1/15th of a second it is safe to leave this feature turned off.
More Detail: In an SLR camera there is a mirror that diverts the light from the lens away from the image sensor (or film) and up to the viewfinder. This is what enables you to see the view through the lens when configuring a photo. The mirror then moves out of the way for the actual exposure.
The reason the mirror lock-up feature exists is to enable you to compensate for the vibrations caused by the movement of the mirror. When you enable the mirror lock-up feature, you will generally press the shutter release button twice to capture a photo. The first time the mirror will be locked up, and the second time the photo will be captured. This enables you to have the vibrations from the movement of the mirror dissipate before you capture the photo.
When the shutter speed is a bit faster than about 1/15th of a second, the exposure is so short that the vibrations caused by the mirror movement shouldn't affect your photo. Obviously the faster the shutter speed (the shorter the exposure time) the less this vibration is a factor.
With exposures that are a bit longer than 1/15th of a second, the portion of the exposure that is affected by the vibration will be very minor compared to the overall exposure, and so the impact on the photo will be minimal (or non-existent).
Naturally, you could simply leave the mirror lock-up feature enabled for all photos to ensure the vibrations caused by the movement of the mirror are never a factor. However, it is only with shutter speeds of around 1/15th of a second where this can be a significant consideration.

Artist Spotlight: Unparalleled Height
May 25, 2016 May 25, 2016 JaxxShack
We look everywhere to uncover interesting and talented new artists from around the world. Sometimes we spend hours searching every corner of the internet for a great fit, and sometimes a great band just sends us a DM on Twitter about a radio contest that they're participating in. Unparalleled Height earned our vote.
https://jaxxshack.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/embrace-the-storm.mp3
Unparalleled Height was formed in 2011 by four childhood friends, and picked up two more members along the way to complete the six-piece metal band: CJ Masciantonio (lead guitar), David Kelly (lead vocals), Tyler Larkin (guitar/vocals), Josh Willis (guitar), Marshall Boy (bass), and Justin Welling (drums). The band has already released an independent album that debuted at #25 on the iTunes metal charts. Their upcoming second album contains contributions from Grammy-nominated producers Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland. They've had their newest single Embrace the Storm featured on multiple television spots. They've toured nationally. They're pretty damn talented.
It is all too common to hear metal bands that resort to turning the volume all the way up to make nothing other than a lot of noise. Unparalleled Height doesn't feel the need to mask incompetence in this way, mainly because they're nowhere near incompetent. Each member is a proficient musician, and they feature strong, unaltered, trained vocals by David Kelly. The individual elements of their music are easily discernible, and work together incredibly cohesively. It's easy to see why Embrace the Storm has been released as a single with its multiple layers that appeal to an audience broader than just the metal scene. Also, check out their awesome new music video:

Google and China Are Two Peas in a Pot,(HYPER-REPROBATES) Both Evil to the Bone, Both Oppress the
December 1, 2021/StevieRay Hansen/1 Comment
People Not Only Physically but Spiritually, the Un-Godly Deserve Each Other, They Destroy Everything They Touch…
Google and China are full of evil deeds thoughts and designs, both against God and men, are intended, which are forged and fabricated in the wicked heart of man; and may respect Satan's depths in the Antichrist beast, Revelation 2:24
Google is competing fiercely against Amazon and Microsoft to build out a cloud computing offering that can establish itself as a serious competitor to AWS, but two employees have reportedly told Bloomberg that Google has abandoned a cloud computing project in China and other politically-sensitive countries, largely due to concerns over worsening bilateral relations with the US.
The tech behemoth reportedly shut down the project, known internally as "Isolated Region," which sought to address nations' desires to control data within their borders, the employees said. The decision to close the program was a "massive strategy shift," according to one of the employees, who said hundreds of employees around the world had worked on the "Isolated Region".
Given the ominous description, it's not too difficult to understand the true nature of this project: Google would essentially help empower China to enforce its "Great Firewall," which it is now trying to expand to Hong Kong.
A Google spokesperson who commented on the record to Bloomberg insisted that the project was scrapped for reasons that were totally innocuous.
A Google spokeswoman said Isolated Region was shelved because "other approaches we were actively pursuing offered better outcomes." She declined to detail those approaches. "We have a comprehensive approach to addressing these requirements that cover the governance of data, operational practices, and survivability of software," the spokeswoman said. "Isolated Region was just one of the paths we explored to address these requirements."
"What we learned from customer conversations and input from government shareholders in Europe and elsewhere is that other approaches we were actively pursuing offered better outcomes," the spokeswoman said. "Google does not offer and has not offered cloud platform services inside China."
According to one of the employees, the plan involved selling cloud services in what Google calls "sovereignty sensitive markets," such as China and the E.U., where there are strict laws for companies offering services that involve the collection or processing of people's data.
The project, which began in early 2018, sought to address rules in China that require Western companies to form a joint venture with a Chinese partner company when they provide data or networking services, one of the employees said. In such a relationship, the partner company would have retained both physical and administrative control over user data. The arrangement was intended to satisfy Chinese authorities while also providing a barrier between Google's Isolated Region cloud services and the rest of its data center network, which stores and processes emails, documents, photographs, and other data from its users, the employee said.
By handing over control of user data to third party companies in foreign countries, Isolated Region also aimed to appease privacy concerns about the U.S. government's potential ability to carry out covert surveillance of Google's Cloud services, the employee said. Those concerns increased in March 2018, following the passing of the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act, better known as the CLOUD Act, a federal law that granted U.S. law enforcement agencies more power to request personal data stored by American technology companies even if the data is stored on servers located outside of the U.S., the employee said.
Interestingly enough, Bloomberg's editors slotted the first paragraph addressing the company's controversial business practices involving its work in China and the CCP
Some employees expressed concern about the Cloud project in China and questioned their superiors about it, according to one of the employees. But it's not known if employee opposition was a factor in Google's decision to stop the initiative in China or elsewhere.
Isolated Region was part of a larger Google project known as "Sharded Google," which has sought to develop new data storage and processing facilities, known as "shards," that are walled off from the rest of the company's systems, according to the employees.
Major cloud providers are all racing to develop data centers that are either physically separated or rely on complex software to keep information flows apart.
It's a costly process, driven by rising demand on two fronts. One is from firms in specific industries, such as finance, that want isolated machinery for security reasons. Another comes from laws that require data reaped inside the country to stay there, with China being perhaps the most stringent example.
Both trends are accelerating. More than 100 countries have some sort of data sovereignty laws in place, according to David Gilmore, chief executive officer of DataFleets Ltd., an enterprise software firm. In the U.S., state policies, such as California's new consumer privacy law, provide further restrictions on how cloud companies handle data. "It's just the tip of the iceberg," he said.
France and Germany recently started Gaia-X, an effort to build the continent's own data storage systems over the internet without relying on U.S. technology giants.
We're certainly curious to hear more about this "data sovereignty" project. For all the reporting BBG did here, the reader isn't walking away with a clear understanding of what this even means.
And as we've learned with 'Project Dragonfly', once Google declares a project dead, that doesn't mean it actually is.

NY Attorney General Calls on Apple, Google to Crack Down on Shady Contact-Tracing Apps
As more states and cities explore reopening amid the coronavirus plandemic, Apple and Google have struggled to keep up with the flood of third-party contact-tracing apps in their respective app stores. Now, New York Attorney General Letitia James is urging both companies to impose stricter protections for consumers.

James has sent letters to each company urging them to restrict existing and future third-party contact-tracing apps from collecting and storing a user's personal health information. She also called on the companies to clarify the difference between apps developed by public health authorities and those made by developers, who may not have consumers' best interests in mind.
Germany's Coronavirus-Tracking App Set to Release This Week as Nation Reopens
"As businesses open back up and Americans venture outdoors, technology can be an invaluable tool in helping us battle the coronavirus," James said in a statement. "But some companies may seek to take advantage of consumers and use personal information to advertise, mine data, and unethically profit off this pandemic. Both Apple and Google can be invaluable partners in weeding out these bad actors and ensuring consumers are not taken advantage of by those seeking to capitalize on the fear around this public health crisis."
The letter also emphasizes that the average consumer may not understand the difference between the contact-tracing technology jointly developed by Apple and Google and independently created contact-tracing apps that may use a different standard. Last month, both companies laid out specifics about how the jointly developed API ought to be used. In a nutshell, Apple and Google only plan to permit federal and state health agencies to use its API, and the related apps wouldn't be able to access a smartphone's geolocation data. Targeted ads are also explicitly prohibited.
That's not necessarily true for third-party contact-tracing apps. Last week, a Wall Street Journal report revealed that several third-party apps currently available for iOS and Android not only allow advertising but also share location data with third-parties. With no uniform standards in place, Apple and Google have become de-facto regulators of these covid-19 apps. Despite efforts by both companies to keep shady apps out of their stores, some are still available for download.
As for how Apple and Google should crackdown on these dubious contact tracing apps, James offered four suggestions: 1) limiting the collection of personal health data to apps affiliated with federal or state public health agencies; 2) banning the use of consumer data for targeted ads; 3) banning third-party apps from using data to identify anonymous users; and 4) requiring all third-party apps to delete user data on a rolling 14-day basis, as well as provide users an easy way to manually delete their own data.
James's letter is yet another reminder of the privacy risks contact-tracing apps pose. While these apps do eliminate the tedium of manual contract tracing, how they collect data to notify users is a major point of contention between governments and security experts. There's already been friction between Apple, Google, and countries advocating for a "centralized" approach to contact tracing—basically, a method that would funnel data through an official server. France and the UK have both rejected the decentralized approach advocated by Apple, Google, and over 300 scientists and researchers from 25 countries. Singapore recently said it is now exploring developing a contact-tracing wearable as it could not come to an agreement with Apple over iOS Bluetooth restrictions.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., legislators recently introduced a bill that would impose several restrictions on how consumer health data is collected and shared on contact-tracing apps. That said, a recent joint poll between the University of Maryland and the Washington Post revealed that the majority of Americans are either unable or unwilling to use a contact-tracing app—citing privacy as a major reason.

The accumulating death toll from Covid-19 can be seen minute-by-minute on cable news channels. But there's another death toll few seem to care much about: the number of poverty-related deaths being set in motion by deliberately plunging millions of Americans into poverty and despair.
American health care, as we call it today, and for all its high-tech miracles, has evolved into one of the most atrocious rackets the world has ever seen. By racket, I mean an enterprise organized explicitly to make money dishonestly.
All the official reassurances won't be worth a bucket of warm spit. The Globals are behind the CoronaVirus, It Is a Man-Made Bioweapon.
For those of you who care, Google and your favorite social media platforms have misled you, and now we all pay a heavy price for trusting the ungodly, Google and company, They knew exactly what they were doing, removing our history while preparing you to accept the New World Order playbook, Enjoy.

Barack Obama promised "CHANGE".
believeSetting the campaign rhetoric aside and looking instead at his cadre of advisors, I don't think the change Obama has in mind is what the American people had in mind when they blindly elected one of the most outspoken collectivists so far.
Within the first six weeks of office, Barack Obama proposed spending programs that exceeds the total government spending of the U.S. since it's founding to Obama's enauguration. He has borrowed Trillions of dollars and ensured the slavery of our children for generations to come.
He sent his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, on a mission to China to beseech them to continue buying U.S. debt… and what did she use for collateral? Our children's lives and property.

In Myanmar, we're learning more about how village leaders solve land disputes in the traditional way to help inform policy makers on the best ways forward to ensure protection of displaced people.
They say that good boundaries make good neighbours, however it is often difficult to determine where such boundaries lie. In rural Myanmar, disputes over boundaries are often solved through traditional methods, which include engaging the village elders and other customary authorities.
Decades of civil war and massive development have created even more serious problems concerning land, such as people being forced to flee and returning to see their land occupied by others. Sometimes the military, ethnic armed organisations, the government, companies or a combination of them take over the land of farmers without following a legal procedure or providing adequate compensation for the land lost. This creates very serious problems for displaced people.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), together with Displacement Solutions, has conducted a study to learn more about how village leaders solve land disputes in the traditional way to help inform policy makers on the best ways forward to ensure protection. The report is entitled "A HLP-Rights Based Assessment of Customary Land Dispute Resolution in Eastern Bago Region and Kayin and Shan States."

Namati offers this brief in the hope that Myanmar's national reforms and the implementation of the country's new National Land Use Policy can grow from the lived experience of ordinary Myanmar citizens. Namati and our partners assist farmers in Myanmar to claim their land rights through a community paralegal approach. Community paralegals are trained in relevant laws, community education, negotiation, and mediation skills to work with farmers to resolve a variety of land rights issues. Dozens of data points are documented as part of each case resolution process that illustrates how the legal framework functions in practice. It is this casework data that underpin this policy brief. Focus groups and interviews with paralegals and clients further provide qualitative context and insights.
Namati recommends actions the Myanmar government can take as part of implementing its new National Land Use Policy to help increase women's engagement in land use management and access to tenure rights. This briefing also provides recommendations for civil society organizations interested in the community paralegal model, and, in particular, in increasing the number of women paralegals in the country as a means of women's empowerment.

On September 11, 2018 parliament passed an amendment to the Vacant, Fallow and Virgin (VFV) Land Management Law. This law has been criticized by many groups ranging from civil society groups to mining companies. The primary concern is that it will cause further insecurity for farmers and ethnic communities. For purposes of this report when we refer to the VFV Management land law we refer to both the original 2012 VFV and the 2018 amendment to it – which has introduced new problems for farmers.
Most of the lands classified as VFV are in ethnic rural areas and up to 10 million people live or rely on this land for their livelihood. The new law means that these people must now apply for 30-year concessions to use their own land. If they fail to do so and another group such as a company is awarded their land, they face up to two years in prison for trespass. While the amendment does exclude land being used under customary tenure from being classified as VFV, the law provides no definition of customary land or any procedure by which communities can register their land as customary.
This report presents new data from a survey of 290 farmers who depend on land classified as Vacant, Fallow and Virgin Land.

Brock was arrested Sunday and charged with two counts.)

After a very tough and complicated mains examination, those who have made it to the interview round must be feeling very relieved. But the battle is yet to finish and a good interview can only bring you the coveted job of being an officer in any PSB of the country. In this article, we are going to discuss the common questions along with the technique to answer them in your interview.
An interview is a test of your character and obviously, you can never expect to have only common questions in the interview. You must be prepared to face anything and everything in the process.
This is the first thing you will hear after entering the room in most of the cases. This is your opportunity to start controlling the whole interview. Start with your name and your place of origin, mention your educational background and family background, your hobbies and last but not the least, your work experience, if any. Do not go overboard with family details since the interviewers only need to know your background and not the daily routine of your siblings.
2. What is your objective of joining banking sector?
This is your chance to impress the interview panel. Start with the nature the job such as customer dealings, financial assistance to poor and the social footprint you can leave by being a banker. The next thing on the line will be the social status you will gain by being a banker and last but not the least, the promotional aspect of the job. These will show you as an ambitious, sincere and social person. What else do they need in a banker?
3. Being a metro city boy / girl, are you comfortable in working in rural areas?
This is a question to test your honesty. Nobody wants rural posting and this is evident from the fact that the government had to make it mandatory for promotions in the banking sector. So, never go over the top in this question. Say politely that you are ready to face any and every challenge that comes your way and in this, the rural service criteria is also included.
4. If you get a better opportunity, will you leave banking or stick to it even then?
Again, an honesty check and you should be logical in your answer. Nobody wants to waste an opportunity to have a better opportunity. You are not an exception and the interviewers know the same. Your answer should mention this basic human trait that everybody tries for better opportunities and if you get one, you will leave the bank for it. The interviewers want to hear the truth, not false sugar coating.
5. You are made the Branch Manager of a branch which is running in losses. What approach will you undertake to correct the situation?
As a branch manager, I shall first try to understand the areas where the branch is losing money unnecessarily and will first try to control that. After that, I will try to acquire new business and will focus on low cost deposits such as CASA deposits and retail advances so that they are mostly secure and at the same time, earning from the branch increases. Another important thing will be to decrease the existing NPA in the branch and also improve the customer service so that people prefer our bank over others.
6. What are the major issues threatening the banking sector at present?
The first thing that needs attention is obviously the non performing assets issue since it can make or break the balance sheet of the bank. Second thing will be complying with the regulatory aspects of banking such as Basel III framework where you require more capital to be infused. Next important thing is the utilization of human resources properly as staff shortage affects customer service a lot.
This is a question that tests your future planning and the ambition you have. But remember that you need to say something that is realistic and is actually possible to achieve within the next five years. You can go like this – I want to learn as many facets of banking as possible in the coming years and also would try to get as many promotions as possible during the time.
This is a part of your SWOT analysis and the interviewers expect you have done it thoroughly before coming to the interview. State only those strengths that may come in handy in banking such as good communication skills, problem solving ability, soft skills, customer interaction etc whereas for weakness, you always should say something that actually translates into strength such as I am a workaholic person or I am a perfectionist etc. The interviewers want to see whether you have read yourself properly through this question.
Well, the ball is in your court now and you have to make the most of it. First thing should be the impact you can make in the organization with your set of skills. You can deal with customers very well and you can sell products very well etc. You have the ability to convince people your way and trust me, in banking, you will be valued a lot if you have this within you. Focus on some of the issues facing the organization and offer your skills as a solution to them. This will serve two purposes: They will know that you have done your homework and at the same time, they will very easily visualize your role in the organization.
10. You are an engineer / humanities graduate / science graduate etc. You have no background knowledge of banking. How will you be able to work in a bank?
Keep in mind this question is not to catch you off guard because the minimum qualification required for IBPS PO is a graduate in any stream and you possess that. Focus on your skills acquired through your academic background such as an engineer will have technological expertise and it can be used in the technological advancement of the bank along with financial inclusion through technology. As an arts graduate, you have good communication skills and analyzing ability, these are very important for banking. Try to focus on your set of skills and answer positively. The question is to make you relate your skills to banking sector requirements and nothing else.
Interview is the last hurdle you need to cross before getting entry in a public sector bank of the country as an officer. You should prepare for it well and it has always been observed that despite having low marks in written, you stand a chance of final selection with a good interview. Study smartly and hard and make your mark.

'Serial Plaintiff' wins labor court case against restaurant for discrimination
Despite numerous lawsuits filled against a number of businesses, the court found that plaintiffs rights were violated when his Arab origins were used as a pretext not to hire him.

The Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court ruled in favor of Omri Kis last week in his lawsuit against Café Al Hayam Ltd., in which he claimed he had not been given work as a waiter because he is of Arab origin.
According to Kis, Café Al Hayam Ltd., part of the Café Café chain, accepted him for training but towards the end of the shift, the shift manager asked Kis what his race was. Kis answered that he was an Arab and in response, the shift manager replied that the restaurant is kosher and therefore he cannot employ Kis as a waiter, but suggested he work in a nearby restaurant.
Judge Keren Cohen, who presided over the case, awarded NIS 30,000 in compensation to Kis for the breaking of the Employment (Equal Opportunities) Law and an additional NIS 5,000 in legal costs.
In her verdict, Cohen said that even though Kis is a serial plaintiff, who submits many lawsuits for being discriminated against on account of his being Arab, this does not hinder the suit or create non-existing discrimination.
Kis has previously filed over a dozen claims in civil court regarding discrimination on the basis of the Law of Prohibition of Discrimination in Products and Services and in Entry to Entertainment Establishments and Public Facilities, 2000, winning some of those cases as well as the current labor law dispute.
While judges have referred to him as a "serial plaintiff" in their judgements, they have not taken this to mean that his claims are false. On the contrary, one of the judges stated in their judgement that Kis is setting the standard in the struggle against discrimination.
Tel Aviv Regional Commissioner to the Equal Opportunities Commissions, Adv. Shiri Lev-Ran Lavi, joined the process as a friend of the court and her position was included as part of the verdict. Lev-Ran Lavi presented the severity and extent of racial discrimination, particularly at the stage of acceptance for employment.
She also stated that it is an unacceptable and illegal social phenomenon that both society and the law enforcement authorities must act to eradicate.
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity National Commissioner, Adv. Tziona Koenig-Yair, "This is an extremely important verdict, both in theory and practice. Even though the severe phenomenon of discrimination against the Arab population exists in the labor market, it does not feature sufficiently in the verdicts of the labor courts. This shows the great importance of a verdict carrying a clear message to employees who are discriminated against – that the doors of the labor courts are open to every one of them."
