Forget Building Our Own Tea Party. The Left Can Win So Much More
We should set our sights beyond just primary challenges and reshaping the Democratic Party; this is an opportunity to build a movement that can challenge capital and corporate power.
Jacob Swenson-Lengyel
On February 19, 2009, just 30 days after President Obama was sworn in, Rick Santelli's rant on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange launched the Tea Party. The conservative establishment worked together with the grassroots to fan the flames of opposition. The resulting tidal wave swept Republicans to power at the national and state level in 2010--and set the stage for Trump's victory in 2016.
Since at least 2012, I've worked in and with organizations that saw the Tea Party as a model for the Left. While we abhorred their politics, we admired their tactics and coveted their success. The Tea Party pioneered a strategy that enabled grassroots activists and candidates to work inside and outside of the Republican Party to advance a "principled" conservative agenda. And they won--big time.
"This isn't just about electoral politics, it's about shifting political and economic power across the board."
In the wake of Trump's election, we're seeing a tsunami of progressive activism. The confrontations with lawmakers around the country during the February Congressional recess were nearly mirror images of the town halls the Tea Party crashed as Congress first debated Obamacare. Unsurprisingly, commentators and pundits have quickly drawn parallels between what happened in 2009 and what's happening today.
But the commentators are wrong--and if the Left continues to take the Tea Party as our model, we might lose out on our biggest opportunity to make large-scale progressive political change in decades.
We are the clear majority
As Trump and the Republicans have begun--rather clumsily--to manipulate the levers of the federal government, we are under attack from all sides. Republicans have moved with breathtaking speed to roll back progress on immigration and civil rights, on health care and the environment, and on regulating Wall Street and the corporate elite. More frightening still, we have seen the Trump administration begin toying with authoritarian tactics and threatening to undo the post-World War II global order. Practically overnight, it feels like everything has changed.
Given this onslaught, it's easy to forget that roughly three in four Americans didn't vote for Donald Trump in November. If our electoral system wasn't rigged against democracy, Trump wouldn't even be president. But now that he's assumed office, Trump is the least popular president in modern American history. So while Trump and the Republicans control the federal government, we must remind ourselves that the vast majority of the American people are on our side.
In fact, that is the real story of the last six weeks. While the media has been glued to Trump's every tweet, millions of Americans have taken to the streets to protest his agenda. More than 3.7 million people--one out of every 100 Americans--flooded into the streets to participate in the Women's March. Within 48 hours of Trump's initial Muslim ban, thousands gathered at airports around the country demanding that immigrants and refugees be released from detainment. During the February recess, People's Action, MoveOn and the Working Families Party organized more than 600 town hall events. While it's difficult to predict how long this level of activity can be sustained, we have already seen resistance to the new administration that is unprecedented in recent history.
This is precisely where comparisons to the Tea Party start to break down. According to commentators and many in the media, what we're seeing now is merely history repeating itself. Republicans have control of the federal government, just as Democrats did in 2009, and now it's liberals and the Left in the streets instead of old white people dressed in colonial garb.
But the Tea Party only ever represented a tiny faction of Americans. We, on the other hand, are the clear majority.
Political scientists Theda Skocpal and Vanessa Williamson estimate in their book The Tea Party and the Remaking of American Conservatism that at its height only about 200,000 Americans were active in the Tea Party at the local level. It's too early to say exactly how many Americans are engaged in the current protest movement, but already there are signs that we're organizing at a scale that dwarfs the Tea Party.
For example, the Tea Party first debuted on the national stage when they held roughly 750 Tax Day events around the country. But only 250,000 Americans attended those events. In other words, the Tea Party's Tax Day protests were 15 times smaller than the Women's March. Of course, participation at a single event does not necessarily foretell prolonged participation in a social movement. But the fact that a small group of former Hill staffers and progressive organizers could help launch more than 4,500 local groups in less than four weeks suggests a massive groundswell of people interested in sustained political participation.
The scale of active engagement is mirrored by public support. Polling conducted by the Washington Post in April 2010 found that roughly 27% of Americans supported the Tea Party. By contrast, a full 60% supported the Women's March.
At the policy level, the difference is even starker. When the Tea Party held their Tax Day protests, polling showed that 65% of Americans actually backed Obama's overall economic plans and 62% approved of how he was handling taxes. Their colorful protests may have generated a media frenzy, but the policies they were intended to bolster did not have popular support.
Those who have participated in recent marches, rallies and actions are protesting a wide array of Republican policies. But if we take just two core policies pushed by Trump and the GOP, we can see that the resistance to those policies--and support for progressive alternatives--is broad.
This week, Republicans introduced their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, despite the fact that the law is supported by a majority of Americans. The Republican repeal bill also proposes deep cuts to Medicaid, something that has historically been opposed by 84% of Americans. And there's evidence to suggest that public support for a Medicare-for-all system is even greater than support for Obamacare.
Tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy are also a centerpiece of the Republican agenda. Yet, a series of post-election polls compiled by Americans for Tax Fairness show that Americans oppose cutting taxes for big corporations and the rich by roughly a two-to-one margin. Gallup polls consistently show that similar margins believe corporations and the wealthy already pay too little in taxes.
Despite widespread support on issues like healthcare and taxation, the anti-Trump resistance is clearly an ideologically heterogeneous bunch, encompassing leftists, centrist Democrats, independents and perhaps even some moderate Republicans.
That means our task is to organize. Republicans have used voter suppression, redistricting and other undemocratic aspects of government--such as the Electoral College and the Senate--to take power, despite the fact that many of their policies are extremely unpopular with large segments of the public. They have also used the media, think tanks and the academy to manufacture public consent to policies that hurt many of the same people who support them.
Our goal must be to bring together different constituencies within the resistance movement, those motivated by diverse struggles, to support a bold platform for social change that will make life better for the working class as a whole.
Reshaping the parties
The Tea Party was a minority faction within the Republican Party funded by the wealthy elite. Our aim shouldn't be the creation of a faction within the Democratic Party. It should be to forge a new American majority.
Neoliberalism has been in crisis for at least a decade, and the crisis of legitimacy that elites--including politicians from both parties--face today is far more acute than it was in 2009. As a result, both parties face deep internal rifts. We should not simply aim to pull the Democratic Party to the left. We should work to redraw the lines of the entire political map so that we find ourselves at the center.
This doesn't mean abandoning our principled politics or the hardscrabble tactics pioneered by the Tea Party. We can and should mount primary challenges to corporate Democrats and collaborators, including members of the current Democratic leadership. Efforts like WeWillReplaceYou.org, a new Political Action Committee created by #AllofUs, are an important addition to work that has been done by groups like People's Action and the Working Families Party.
Nevertheless, all of these efforts should be seen as tactics inside of a broader strategy to redraw the political map. The aim should be threefold.
First, we should aim to take over the Democratic Party wholesale and make it into a vehicle for the working class. In addition to electing real progressives to office, this means building a greatly expanded coalition of active voters and a genuinely progressive policy platform.
Second, we should exploit Trump's incompetence and the factions within the Republican Party to decimate it for decades to come. Where possible and without compromising progressive principles, we should aim to peel off sections of the Republican coalition to join our side.
Finally, we should work for structural reforms that make both the party structure and the electoral system itself more democratic. That means everything from giving working people real decision-making power over the direction of the Democratic Party to making it more feasible for third parties to run and win governing power to rewriting the rules to eliminate the Electoral College and other undemocratic elements of our political system.
Winning more than elections
This isn't just about electoral politics, it's about shifting political and economic power across the board. While the Tea Party propelled electoral victories, it did not generate sustained and politically independent social movements. Since the Tea Party was funded by the wealthy elite, it didn't put significant pressure on Wall Street and the ruling class, despite being fueled in part by anti-Wall Street sentiment.
While Trump and the Republicans control the White House, Congress and 25 state governments, our goal can't just be to reclaim those seats and offices. Even in places around the globe where Left-leaning political parties have won significant governing power, such as Podemos in Spain and Syriza in Greece, they have been largely unable to achieve their desired reforms in part because of the vast economic power that weighs against them.
We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that politicians face structural limits on their power. Even progressive governments need outside help. We must build social movements strong enough to win governing power and challenge the dominance of capital, markets and the corporate elite.
Together, we can forge a new American majority. It may become possible to achieve progressive change far greater than we would ever have imagined just a few years ago. But doing so will require those of us on the Left to stop confining ourselves to the margins so that we can redefine the center.

Q: What is the benefit of effect system (e.g. ZIO)? I'm having hard time understanding what value effect systems, like ZIO or Cats Effect.

*

*It does not make code readable, e.g.:

val wrappedB = for {
   a <- getA()  // : ZIO[R, E, A]
   b <- getB(a) // : ZIO[R, E, B]
} yield b

is no more readable to me than:
val a = getA()  // : A
val b = getB(a) // : B

I could even argue, that the latter is more straight forward, because calling a function executes it, instead of just creating an effect or execution pipeline.

*

*Delayed execution does not sound convincing, because all examples I've encountered so far are just executing the pipeline right away anyways. Being able to execute effects in parallel or multiple time can be achieved in simpler ways IMHO, e.g. C# has Parallel.ForEach

*Composability. Functions can be composed without using effects, e.g. by plain composition.

*Pure functional methods. In the end the pure instructions will be executed, so it seems like it's just pretending DB access is pure. It does not help to reason, because while construction of the instructions is pure, executing them is not.

I may be missing something or just downplaying the benefits above or maybe benefits are bigger in certain situations (e.g. complex domain).
What are the biggest selling points to use effect systems?

A: Because it makes it easy to deal with side effects. From your example:
a <- getA()  // ZIO[R, E, A] (doesn't have to be ZIO btw)

val a = getA(): A

The first getA accounts in the effect and the possibility of returning an error, a side effect. This would be like getting an A from some db where the said A may not exist or that you lack permission to access it. The second getA would be like a simple def getA = "A".
How do we put these methods together ? What if one throws an error ? Should we still proceed to the next method or just quit it ? What if one blocks your thread ?
Hopefully that addresses your second point about composability. To quickly address the rest:

*

*Delayed execution. There are probably two reasons for this. The first is you actually don't want to accidentally start an execution. Or just because you write it it starts right away. This breaks what the cool guys refer to as referential transparency. The second is concurrent execution requires a thread pool or execution context. Normally we want to have a centralized place where we can fine tune it for the whole app. And when building a library we can't provide it ourselves. It's the users who provide it. In fact we can also defer the effect. All you do is define how the effect should behave and the users can use ZIO, Monix, etc, it's totally up to them.

*Purity. Technically speaking wrapping a process in a pure effect doesn't necessarily mean the underlying process actually uses it. Only the implementation knows if it's really used or not. What we can do is lift it to make it compatible with the composition.

A: The two examples are not comparable since an error in the first statement will mark as faulty the value equal to the objectified sequence in the first form while it will halt the whole program in the second. The second form shall then be a function definition to properly encapsulate the two statements, followed by an affectation of the result of its call.
But more than that, in order to completely mimic the first form, some additional code has to be written, to catch exceptions and build a true faulty result, while all these things are made for free by ZIO...
I think that the ability to cleanly propagate the error state between successive statements is the real value of the ZIO approach. Any composite ZIO program fragment is then fully composable itself.
That's the main benefit of any workflow based approach, anyway.
It is this modularity which gives to effect handling its real value.
Since an effect is an action which structurally may produce errors, handling effects like this is an excellent way to handle errors in a composable way. In fact, handling effects consists in handling errors !

A: what makes programming with ZIO or Cats great is when it comes to concurrent programming. They are also other reasons but this one is IMHO where I got the "Ah Ah! Now I got it".
Try to write a program that monitor the content of several folders and for each files added to the folders parse their content but not more than 4 files at the same time. (Like the example in the video "What Java developpers could learn from ZIO" By Adam Fraser on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxpkMojvz24 .
I mean this in ZIO is really easy to write :)
The all idea behind the fact that you combine data structure (A ZIO is a data structure) in order to make bigger data structure is so easy to understand that I would not want to code without it for complex problems :)

In Bolivia, all things must have their complement.
We can understand chacha-warmi as a dichotomous concept, of two objects that are different but that complement each other and create the same energy. This idea has been passed down, generation to generation, in the Andean tradition to the modern day. For example, in certain communities when a leader is chosen, they must be accompanied by a partner so that they can govern according to this concept of duality.
In the 21st century, certain elements of the practice might seem questionable to us. 'If you are going to be a mallku and you don't have a partner, then you have to unite with either your mother or your sister, or vice versa. Everything and everyone must be paired. This is chacha-warmi, the two elements of jaqi,' says Elias Ajata Rivera, founder of the Aymara Yatiqaña group. The jaqi would be each individual that, when they marry, conform to jaqichasiña.
Bolivia's identity is based on the values of multiculturalism and multilingualism and, as a result, its ancestral practices are considered invaluable. On one side, the Bolivian constitution stipulates that men and women are equal before the law. On the other, the concept of gender doesn't solely refer to men or to women; there exist various national, community and familial norms.
The fundamental principle that Incan society was built on was one of duality.
In recent years, the pride in and the empowerment of ancestral customs has reemerged in people's everyday lives. Of course, La Paz, also known as the city of wonders, as the seat of governmental power has a responsibility to ensure the support, recovery and analysis of the county's diverse cultural practices.
I am happy to be here on this website and i wish for more in future.You have great ideas to share with us.Thanks for your efforts and i hope for more in future.

Q: Git: cannot do a partial commit during a merge (SourceTree) After updating the SourceTree to it's latest version I am fighting with this issue. Assume following scenario:
There are file A, B and C under the version control and there is just one branch. In my working copy, I make some changes to the file A so it turns into a A' as well as the file B to B'. Someone else in his working copy makes a change to the file C -> C'.
I stage and commit my changes to the file B only. So I have a new revision: A, B', C and working copy A', B', C.
The other one commits his changes, so he makes a revision A, B, C' and pushes it to the origin.
And here it comes. When I perform the pull, I get some merge changes (the C'). And I want to commit a revision consisting of A, B', C'. I do not want to do now anything with the modified file A. However, the GIT, SourceTree resp., fails with:

fatal: cannot do a partial commit during a merge.

untill I stage or discard changes to the file A.
I am pretty sure the some previous version of SourceTree did not expose this behavior.
Update 2017/05
It appears in the most recent SourceTree version 2.0.20.1 this issue has been resolved. However, be sure you want to update to this version, because it contains lot of "bugs" (new features) I really dislike.

A:
fatal: cannot do a partial commit during a merge.

This indicates that your merge is still in progress, there could be some conflicts which you still need to resolve.
Please select Conflicts from the drop down box as screenshot and you should be able to see a list of conflicted files with a triangle icon. Resolving these and then doing a commit should fix your problem.

This post should give a brief idea of how to configure and use an external tool to resolve merge conflicts - How to interactively (visually) resolve conflicts in SourceTree / git
If you still can't make up, you may stash your changes. Pull from origin and apply stash to fix the same.
Edits
You can also automate all such operations using "custom action". One sample script to do a stash >> pull >> apply stash is copied below
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false stash save temp
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false pull origin <<local path goes here>>
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false submodule update --init --recursive
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false stash apply stash@{0}

A: The following answer to this question worked for me.

"You can manually delete .git/MERGE_HEAD and Git won't be able to tell
  that you were just doing a merge. It will let you amend the previous
  commit with the changes in your index just like normal."

A: For the case when someone pushed temporal files like intellij
# .idea/compiler.xml
# .idea/jarRepositories.xml
# .idea/modules.xml

just right click and discard file.
the IDE will recreate this files later.

"A Transatlantic Trio with feet firmly set in the UK, but wings spreading into mainland Europe.!"
BLUES MATTERS! – March 2011
Interviewer: Alan Harvey
A Transatlantic Trio with feet firmly set in the UK, but wings spreading into mainland Europe. The Spikedrivers have one new CD out and another on the way. Blues Matters! spoke to guitarist / founder Ben Tyzack, bassist Constance Redgrave and drummer / percussionist Maurice McElroy about the band's current activities and their views on the Blues scene in general. Our meeting was a personal treat, not just for the chance to discuss all matters music with such lovely people, but to witness the recording of a live studio session for the BBC. This was an enormous pleasure and cemented by view of the band as three masters of their respective crafts…
BM: The new CD is titled 'Seven'. Is that purely a numerical reference or is there any deeper significance?
MM: It came down to the idea of simplicity. What do you call an album? A bit like what do you call the band? Ben came up with the lovely design and it just seemed appropriate.
CR: 'Seven' was the working title anyway.
BM: As a musical work how does it compare to previous CDs?
CR: It took longer! There was quite a long gap there.
BT: We hadn't done a studio album for a while. We had a live CD which took a long time to produce and release. A lot of the material has been around for a while, but the band had changed really. We'd started doing a lot more harmony singing. That was becoming a feature which we wanted to use on the recordings.
CR: We didn't record analogue this time either. That's another change.
BM: How does that affect the way you record?
BT: It's more to do with sound. Our engineer, Phill Brown, says you can put it through old valve compressors and it's not going onto tape, but you can get a warm sound and we just went with his advice. It's a lot cheaper and digital gives you options as well.
CR: He likes big old desks as well.
BT: Having just done the live album and there's another on the way we've got a studio album sandwiched between two live albums. So to make us sound not like a live recording in the studio we've expanded a little, so there's a few guitar overdubs and a few more bits of percussion. We approached it slightly differently.
MM: I think also that our song-writing has come on. There's a marked improvement to my ears. I think our playing has also come on, both as individuals and in the way we work together as a unit.
BT: I think all the albums feel different, although 'Ain't It Real' and 'Blue Trash' were recorded quite close together so they are somewhat similar and almost feel like one body of work.
BM: Variety still seems to be the watchword?
BT: We've always liked that. When we were interviewed on Spanish radio recently they asked how difficult it is to blend our different styles, but we've always done it, there's no effort at all. Maybe we think about what else can we bring in new, but you have to be careful not to smash in a new sound for the sake of it. Is it working for the song, is it working with the sounds of the other instruments so we've been pretty careful there. We have Constance playing flute on this album and I've played a bit of twelve-string which I haven't done before.
BM: And Clive Ashley on sax. I've seen him with Ben Waters, is that how your connection came about?
BT: There have been several occasions where we've been on the same bill or jammed together, but we first met at a Banbury Music Festival a long time ago. We were on before Ben and he got us back up at the end.
CR: I have experience of Clive from days playing with Colin John.
BT: During the tour we did with Ben we both did sets then all joined on stage at the end. As we went round and got to know each other it was great fun and I just love the way he plays so when starting this album we discussed bringing him in as a different player rather than just us doing something different. I love what he did.
CR: He was kind of the magic ingredient.
MM: Whether you're thinking of adding a player or just another sound you have to ask whether it adds something. If the answer's yes you keep it.
BT: In the end we didn't even rehearse with Clive. We sent him some demos of the new songs and planned to do some rehearsals, but we couldn't ever get together. We were a little bit nervous, but Clive is a great improviser and he picks up on things so quickly.
CR: He was incredible and did the lot in a morning.
BM: The new songs fit in perfectly to your live shows. Do you get nervous when you play one for the first time?
CR: Sure, that's the fun! There's a line between excitement and fear which are two sides of the same coin. Once you understand that you take that energy and go.
BT: I get nervous playing songs that we've played a hundred times. Lately I'm forgetting lyrics and inventing new ones on the spot. I don't look at the others, but can feel them staring at me! It's always really exciting for us when introducing new songs because you develop, practice and record them and they can then add a whole new dimension to a performance.
MM: This is really the first time you're going to find out whether people like it. With our other stuff we know what they like.
BT: We did learn not to play all the new songs at once. After Blue Trash we played the whole album at one gig and we got some good feedback from emails saying that it was too much and you have to mix it in.
CR: There's some songs on albums that maybe aren't live songs, they're album songs. You'd have to create a different arrangement so we have songs which we've never played live.
BM: When writing your songs which comes first, the words or the tune?
MM: I'm an inexperienced songwriter so my experience is you sit down to write and you get what turns up. You really don't have a lot of control. For this album I sat down intending to write a solid rock tune and I ended up with a song about a chicken ('My Rooster Stopped Crowing'). I'm working on something, but something in the back of my head keeps showing up and I think, right, I'm going to get this down so I can get on with what I'm doing. What's in the back of my head turns out to be the better song.
BT: It could be that when you're working hard on something it releases the sub conscious and you realise that that is much more interesting.
MM: However it works you take what you can get and say thankyou that it leaves with something to work with. Usually lyrics come first, but sometimes a melody line comes along.
CR: My writing tends to come from pictures in my head or from things I see. I get a lot of rhythms from cars, trucks and trains, but I write a lot of poetry. A lot of it's visual, dreams or actual people. I like playing with words so I tend to keep a notebook and scribble.
BT: I'm like Constance, I always have a notebook. I feel slightly nervous if I don't have a notebook, even if I don't use it. The slightest reference can be a seed for a whole song. For me sometimes lyrics come first, sometimes it's the guitar. Fitting a melody onto a lyric, or vice versa, can take you different places
BM: Who is Natalie?
CR: Natalie is a friend of an Irish percussionist we met. She is French and an interesting woman. They live in France in a fallen down chateau, where the top floor is for ghosts. On our first trip I was trying to learn some French and this song about her was like a nursery rhyme in my head and I couldn't get rid of it. In the end I had to do something with it.
BM: You seem to like to include some tongue in cheek. Is humour important in your music?
MM: That's something you used to get a lot in old Blues, you had to use different words to sing about what you really want to sing about. You don't need to now, but it was fun to do. The humour is just something that happens rather than a conscious thing.
BT: It's just another emotion really.
MM: It works. Audiences enjoy it, we enjoy it. I don't think you can sustain a single emotion for too long. You can get blanded out. We do variety. We get bored if we don't, why would an audience be different?
BT: It's a bit like volume. A constant tugs at one part of your heart string for too long and stops being effective.
BM: Your live performances appeal to all age groups. Is this the same for CD sales?
MM: Yes, I think we do. We've had a lot of people saying they don't like Blues, but they like us.
CR: People come and say they're buying their third copy of "Blue Trash" because their kids keep stealing them!
MM: We've signed a lot of CDs for a lot of very small people.
BT: It would be nice to more play to teenagers / young adults. We have had a good response from them, but that's an age group who don't really want to listen to what their mum and dad listen to.
MM: When we do schools at that age there's the question of whether this is cool or not. It's difficult, but I think it's shifting.
BM: Apart from Constance's famous sales pitch on stage how do you go about marketing the band?
MM: A lot of bloody hard work.
BT: We have a deal with the distributor Proper. In the States we have a company called CD Baby.
MM: As well as physical CDs they are what's called an aggregator, so they digitise the albums and put them out on iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster and so on. In the States we make more money from digital sales than we do from CDs. On this album we decided to really sit down and have a proper go at it. We thought about a publicist, and whether we could afford one, but we had conflicting stories so we decided to do it ourselves. We've been working a lot further ahead on this album to allow for colour magazine turnaround times for example, to give them time to review it before release date. Some magazines won't review albums which are already out. We've also spread our wings a bit, sending copies of the album to lots of people we haven't done in the past, like the Sunday magazines. A lot have gone to Spain and France.
CR: We've also always done a real grass roots thing. We have some wonderful people out there who are just so loyal, so keeping in touch with them is important and it's word of mouth. A lot of where we are today is due to those people, including persuading venues which don't know us to book the band.
MM: Particularly if you're promoting a festival that sort of feedback is invaluable
BM: Who do you like to see when you get the chance?
CR: I love Connie (Lush). She just makes me smile. Giles Hedley, there are some amazing musicians.
MM: We saw Earl Green recently. I love the man's voice, he's a wonderful singer. Clearly Ben Waters. I particularly like Ian Siegal. He's different. I worked briefly with him with the Lee Sankey Band and Ben had worked with him at Ain't Nothin But. We want to see Guy Tortora, but when he has a gig we always seem to be somewhere else. Then there's the bigger names like Dr John. The last gig I went to was Lo Jo and they were brilliant.
BT: We saw a fun duo in France when we were doing a festival. They were called Blackberry and Mr Boo Hoo. They were sitting down with guitar and harmonica, but were hitting self-made boxes. They had a brilliant rootsy sound, kind of country blues roots, amazing musically. Visually it's like they're running at you, but they're sitting down.
MM: They're different, and you have to be. If all albums cost the same why would anyone buy ours if it sounds like BB King, they can buy BB King. If you look at all the big names of the past they all did a variety because they were trying to find an audience. Robert Johnson is known for the Blues songs he recorded, but when you read about him you find that that wasn't all he did. That's what was recorded because that's what people wanted.
BT: Mike Sanchez would be right up on my list. He deserves recognition. A friend gave us a CD by Hazmat Modine. They have an infectious sound with twin harmonicas.
BM: You have been compared to Seasick Steve. How do you feel about this?
BT: I think it's great that that style of playing has been exposed. I don't know who his manager is, but I'd like to meet him! People see that as a different way of playing Blues and roots music and there's a good reference point there.
BM: So what's the difference between what he's doing and hundreds of artists?
MM: Sometimes it will take something or someone to break through and that opens the doors for other people. There's now more notice being taken of what's going on in our field and that can only be a good thing.
BT: The thing with Seasick Steve is he got known for the raucous boogie thing that he does, but someone I'm teaching guitar wanted me to teach him a song called 'Walkin' Man' and it's beautiful Country Blues and I was amazed it was the same guy and that there's a lot more than we see on TV.
MM: BB King said the reason he and others got back into big pay days was because the Rolling Stones were having hit records. Anything that can break through that formulated, moulded scene has to be a good thing.
BM: Are there any of the crop of young Blues musicians who you think will keep the genre alive, and perhaps move it forward?
BT: I haven't heard enough, just a few bits on record. They're young and talented so we'll see what develops.
MM: The potential's there. There's a guy called Sam Hare who's just put an album out. I like it because it's songs. Whatever the future is it's going to be in songs. I've heard a couple of (un-named) guitarists and they are talented and they have put the work in, but I've heard every single lick before and from several guitarists. So they're ok, but why would I get excited about it because I know people who can do it better. If they can change that and find their own voice I would hope, but I'm not sure whether they're the future.
BT: They need to be encouraged to develop. One that does stand out is Andy Cortes. We met him in Finland several years ago, a really tasteful player. He sat in with us once and he didn't over play. He had that sense of composition. Very talented.
MM: I repeat that, however good anyone is technically, whatever the instrument, without the songs there's nothing to play.
BM: Do you feel that young American artists are better than their British counterparts or is there another reason for their greater success?
MM: It's difficult. I've seen an element of patronisation of people like Ian Siegal. But the bulk of the music and the weight that's behind it comes from America and everything wants to slot into something that's easily digestible and easily sellable. I think that people like Joe Bonamassa do. The man can play, undoubtedly, but what he does is easy to grab hold of. I think what an Ian Parker or an Ian Siegal does is harder is harder to get hold of and that's why the American magazines don't do it. One possibility is the likes of Blues Matters! writing it here and selling in the States. Sometimes people like certain acts, but it's not the real thing, but as Paul Jones once said it's music, not a social context any more.
BT: James Hunter did quite well in the States so it can happen. So much of it is a business thing and how things get promoted and who's backing them and things like that.
CR: You also have to understand there are simply a lot more Americans so there's a lot more American musicians and a lot more American record companies with money to put behind those musicians. Just the sheer proportionality means it's heavily weighted that side and it'll probably stay that way. One possibility is to create a British Blues scene and sell it to the world, but nobody's done that yet. It hasn't become the hippest thing in the world yet. I don't know what we would sound like if we went to the States to tour. I don't think we would sound American, I think we're somewhere mid Atlantic now.
BT: It would be nice to go over there and get a reaction
BM: What does the future hold for the Spikedrivers?
MM: Learning languages! Quickly, if we can.
BT: Learning how to deal with baggage and airlines.
MM: That's a serious thing because it makes touring difficult. They've changed all the rules.
CR: It's suddenly got very expensive.
BT: We have an acoustic live album coming out, recorded at The Hawth Theatre in Crawley, that's next in the pipeline, probably early next year. It might be a double album.
MM: And to just continue to spread our wings. We want to expand our work in France and Spain to Holland and Belgium.
BT: And more in the UK. It sounds silly, but it'd be nice to play some of the Blues festivals in the UK. We played Ealing recently, but we've done more Folk festivals.

Q: Is there a way of accessing HTML tag attribute in CSS within Shadow-DOM? I'm creating a custom component with StencilJS and I have to made some changes of the outline when the user is using the keyboard or the mouse to navigate into the component.
My component is using ShadowDOM and I want to access an HTML tag attribute from the CSS.
The tag's attributes are generated with what-input (https://github.com/ten1seven/what-input) to detect keybord and mouse events.
I've tried using CSS Selectors like [data-whatintent=keyboard] and html[data-whatintent=keyboard] but it didn't worked.
This is my HTML tag from which I want to access data-whatintent attribute:
<html dir="ltr" lang="en" data-whatinput="keyboard" data-whatintent="mouse">

  <my-custom-component></my-custom-component>

</html>

And this is my CSS:
[data-whatintent=keyboard] *:focus {
  outline: solid 2px #1A79C6;
}

I want that my CSS within the ShadowDOM can use the data-whatintent attribute's value to set styles on my component so the outline is like I want.

A: Supersharp's answer is correct, however it's not StencilJS code and also host-context support is flakey (doesn't work in Firefox and probably IE11).
You can 'transfer' the attribute to the host element, and then use the selector from inside the host component style:
TSX:
private intent: String;

componentWillLoad() {
    this.intent = document.querySelector('html').getAttribute('data-whatintent');
}

hostData() {
    return {
        'data-whatintent': this.intent
    };
}

SCSS:
:host([data-whatintent="keyboard"]) *:focus {
    outline: solid 2px #1A79C6;
}

If the data-whatintent attribute changes dynamically, make it a property of the component, and have the listener function update your component. You can optionally use the property to add/remove classes to the host for styling, although you could also continue to use the attribute selector.
TSX:
@Prop({ mutable: true, reflectToAtrr: true }) dataWhatintent: String;

componentWillLoad() {
    this.dataWhatintent = document.querySelector('html').getAttribute('data-whatintent');
}

hostData() {
    return {
        class: {
            'data-intent-keyboard': this.dataWhatintent === 'keyboard'
        }
    };
}

SCSS:
:host(.data-intent-keyboard) *:focus {
    outline: solid 2px #1A79C6;
}

Document's keyboard and mouse event handler:
function intentHandler(event: Event) {
    const intent = event instanceof KeyboardEvent ? 'keyboard' : 'mouse';
    document.querySelectorAll('my-custom-component').forEach(
        el => el.setAttribute('data-whatintent', intent)
    );
}

A: You sould use :host-context() to apply a CSS style in a Shadow DOM depending on the context where the Custom Element is used.

customElements.define( 'my-custom-component', class extends HTMLElement {
    constructor() {
        super()
        this.attachShadow( { mode: 'open' } )
            .innerHTML = `
              <style>
                :host-context( [data-whatinput=keyboard] ) *:focus {
                   outline: solid 2px #1A79C6;
                }
              </style>
              <input value="Hello">`
    }
} )

<html dir="ltr" lang="en" data-whatinput="keyboard" data-whatintent="mouse">

  <my-custom-component></my-custom-component>

</html>

Q: Windows 10 search bar started displaying unwanted content Recently my Windows 10 search bar started displaying unwanted content like this one:

Controlling this kind of behavior is usually a registry key and value. I have tried several with no success.
What is the correct registry key and entry to return it to an empty white box ?

A: This can be turned on and off by using the 'Show Search Highlights' option found by right clicking on the taskbar and expanding the 'Search ->' submenu:

A: You can do it according to @jack Aidley's answer.
But like OP said, this can also be done using a registry key.
The key is located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SearchSettings and you should see "IsDynamicSearchBoxEnabled". If not, right-click or long-press in here and create a new 32-bit DWORD value and name it IsDynamicSearchBoxEnabled and for the value, we will set it to 0 to disable, or 1 to enable.
You can run this from the Command Prompt as administrator to disable the feature:
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SearchSettings" /v "IsDynamicSearchBoxEnabled" /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
If you change the /d 0 to /d 1 it will re-enable it.
Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/udyw33/search_highlights_new_graphicicon_in_your_search/

A: This happened because your default search engine is Google and Google does this sort of thing from time to time.
You won't see it if your default engine is left as Bing, you just get the white box.  Equally, wait 24 hours and Google will have gone back to normal.
It isn't a registry settings issue.

701 B Street wins landscape award
An amphitheater at Richard R. Oliphant Elementary (Photo courtesy LPA, inc.)
By Delle Willett
Landscape Architects from LPA, Inc. recently won a Merit Award in the "Commercial" category from the American Society of Landscape Architects, San Diego Chapter (ASLA), for the transformation of 701 B Street into an urban plaza.
The ASLA Design Awards are held every other year, recognizing professional excellence for outstanding works of landscape architecture and environmental planning that promote an enhanced quality of life in San Diego County and beyond.
In the heart of downtown San Diego, 701 B Street acts as an extension of the adjacent café and lobby, and an outdoor amenity space for building tenants and pedestrians.
Said Kari Kikuta, Director of Landscape Architecture at LPA, "The 701 B Street plaza shows how small urban spaces can have a big impact. It's a new place to get away in downtown and provides a variety of flexible seating options for passerby and building tenants alike."

The plaza is a very small space that makes a large impact on its surroundings. It includes a simple but elegant 20-foot tall by 50-foot long water wall and a striking undulating overhead canopy, which creates a pedestrian-scaled lounge, bringing down the scale of the urban context and creating a welcome outdoor urban oasis.
"In just 7000 square feet, the plaza creates a truly memorable experience and is proof that small-scale landscape architecture can have a big impact," commented the judges of the award program.
LPA also won a Merit Award in the "Institution" category for Richard R. Oliphant Elementary School in Indio.
Founded in 1965, LPA specializes in creating innovative environments that work better, do more with less and improve people's lives. An integrated design firm with six locations in California and Texas, LPA's team includes more than 400 in-house architects, master planners, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects and research analysts, working across a wide array of sectors.

Reimagining and redefining place


The Mi Band HRX Edition (or the Mi Band 2i) is a new edition of the Mi Band 2 without a Heart Rate Sensor. The lack of heart rate sensor has significantly reduced its cost and currently, its one of the best fitness tracker in low-budget. If you're a fitness enthusiast or someone who just wants to try out a smart fitness band, this could be the right choice for you. I'll also share my experience and show you how you can set it up.
If you're in a hurry, let's discuss the things I liked about this fitness tracker and the things that I didn't. The OLED Display is one of the best things about this tracker and it has a capacitive button as well. You can use this button to switch between various display modes like time, steps, battery life, etc. The Mi Band HRX can play the role of a watch as well! The design is great and the battery life can last up to 23 days. It has IP67 certification and hence it is not required to remove the band in the shower. You can also set alarms and notification/call alerts. One of the biggest disadvantages is the accuracy of the pedometer. It is not as accurate as other fitness trackers, but considering its price, it isn't too bad either.
If you're using any modern phone launched in past 2-3 years, then your phone most likely supports the requirements. Most modern phones have Bluetooth version 4.0 and above. To check the Android version of your phone, go to Settings->About Phone. It has one more feature that can allow the phone to be unlocked when that Mi Band is nearby. This feature is only supported on Android 5.0 and above or on a Xiaomi phone running MIUI.
Do I need to own a Xiaomi phone to use Mi Band?
No! Mi Band is compatible with all smartphone brands. It is not necessary for you to own a Redmi/Mi device to use it.
Inside the box, you'll find the following contents: the sensor, a strap, charging cable, and a user guide. It is also known as the Mi Band 2i as per the name mentioned on the box. The manufacturer of this band is Huami Information Technology which is Xiaomi's sub-brand. It has a 70 mAh battery that can last up to 23 days and it is very lightweight with just 7 grams. It is IP67 certified and has a 0.42 inch OLED Display. There's also a capacitive button just underneath the display to switch between different display modes. Both the tracker and the included strap are black in color. The included charging cable can be connected to any mobile power adapter or to a power bank.
The Mi Fit App has a never-ending list of features and this is what I like the most about this smart band. Setting Alarms, App Notification Alerts and Sleep Tracker are some of the features I like the most. You can get notifications alerts from apps. It can be useful in cases where the phone is connected to a charger and you're expecting a new message. You'll instantly get an alert and this seems better than picking your phone every 5 minutes.
You can set up to 3 alarms and it alerts you by vibrating. And trust me, the vibration is strong enough to wake you up. And the best part is that it does not make any noise and hence does not disturbs anyone around you. Another great feature is the sleep tracker which is pretty much accurate. It calculates the total sleep time and also shows a detailed graph on the time duration when you had a light sleep or a deep sleep.
How to Setup/Pair the Mi Band?
To use the Mi Band, you'll have to pair it with your smartphone. This can be done using the Mi Fit App. This app is available on both the Android Play Store and Apple App Store. Here are the steps to pair up the Mi Band HRX.
First of all, insert the included sensor inside the strap.
Download the Mi Fit App from the Play Store/App Store.
Sign Up a new Mi Account or Login to your existing Mi Account.
Wear the band on your wrist and turn on the phone's Bluetooth.
Proceed with the on-screen instructions and wait for the Band to vibrate.
As soon as it vibrates, press the capacitive button on you Mi Band to confirm.
Congratulations, you have successfully paired the Mi Band HRX Edition with your smartphone.
Note: If the Mi Fit App fails to detect the Mi Band, try shaking the Band and keep pressing capacitive button back to back during the Step 5.
06:42 AM – 06:46 AM: I left my home and reached the bus stop. Here, I waited for my college bus for approximately 15 minutes. This is pretty much accurate.
07:00 AM – 07:04 AM: I went on the bus and sat in a seat the back. It hardly took 30 seconds but looks like the tracker decided to count the steps even after the bus started to move.
07:05 AM – 07:14 AM: Here it shows Fast Walking for a duration of 9 minutes but I was sitting in the bus with my earphones on.
The same thing took place in the above time durations as well. The tracker was counting the steps due to my hand movements on a bumpy ride. At 07:31 AM, I arrived in my college and I left for the class.
When you're sitting in heavy vehicles like Buses and the road is rough (like most of the Indian roads), then the tracker is likely to count steps due to the continuous hand movements. One simple solution to this problem is to remove the band while you're traveling. However, you'll not face such issue if you're traveling in a car on a smooth road. Hopefully, Xiaomi will fix this issue with a firmware update.
07:32 AM – 07:43 AM: As my class is on the 4th floor, It took me 11 minutes to get out of the bus, go inside the campus and reach the class. This section seems accurate to me. For the next 2 hours, I was in the class the tracker didn't record anything as expected.
10:00 AM – 10:09 AM: I left the class and went near the canteen. This is also accurate.
I always prefer to first review the individual features of a product. So, I'll divide this review into 5 sections and at the end, you can see my final ratings.
The pedometer or the step tracking in Mi Band HRX Edition is just above average. But for tracking daily walks and running, it is good enough for the budget. Sometimes it does undercount or overcount the steps and may experience the problem I showed in the last section. But for better accuracy, you'll to invest in a smart band that will cost you 3x or 4x the price. So, for an entry-level fitness tracker, the pedometer is good enough.
Sleep tracking is one of my favorite features and it is accurate too. It can keep a track of how long you sleep each night and what portion of that was a light sleep or deep sleep. It does a good job in this section.
The OLED Display is even visible in direct sunlight and has multiple modes. You can configure the display settings from the Mi Fit App. The display modes it includes are Time, Distance, Calories, Steps, and Battery. You are also free to enable/disable these disable modes. To switch from one mode to another, just press the capacitive button. Also, you can simply lift your wrist to see the time!
The Battery life of HRX Edition is even better than the Mi Band 2 because of the lack of a Heart Rate Sensor. After one full charge, it can easily last for approximately 18-25 days. And you can always check the battery life from either the display or from the App. For Charging, you can connect the provided cable to any standard mobile power adapter. You can also use Power Banks like the 10000 mAh Mi Power Bank 2i. I'm recommending the Mi Power Bank because it supports Low Power Charging to safely charge devices like Bluetooth headsets and fitness bands. It only takes less than 2 hours to fully charge.
I've already mentioned most of the features and many of them are quite useful. Also, this band is water resistant with an IP67 certification. The IP67 certification ensures that it can be used under a 1-meter depth of water for up to 30 minutes. So, it is safe to use it during the shower or inside a swimming pool. Some other features that I frequently use are alarms, call alerts and App notification alerts.
The Mi Band HRX Edition is not just a fitness tracker, it's a little gadget that can make your daily life much easier. Though there are some issues like the pedometer starts counting steps while traveling in a heavy vehicle on a rough road. Nevertheless, the display, the design, and the never-ending list of features of Mi Fit App make it the best choice for a fitness tracker in low-budget. I'll highly recommend this product to anyone looking to purchase a new fitness gadget. It can be purchased from Amazon and Mi Store.

We are having a ____!!! Man, God has sure blessed Blair and I. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

It's a Girl! Watch Dylan Scott and Wife Blair's Confetti-Filled Gender Reveal
Cillea Houghton
The Easter bunny brought Dylan Scott and his family a sweet reveal: They're expecting a baby girl!
The "My Girl" singer and his wife, Blair, took to Instagram on Sunday (April 21) to announce the sex of their second child, sharing a video of a fun, balloon-popping confetti reveal.
The couple's son 2-year-old son, Beckett, appears in the video — but only for a second. He seems intrigued by the big "Oh baby" balloon, but ends up trotting away before Scott pops it, sending pink confetti flying all over the yard, eliciting excited screams from Blair and enthusiastic cheers from the crowd of family and friends in the background.
"We are having a ____!!! Man, God has sure blessed Blair and I," Scott preludes in the caption with two celebration hands emojis.
Blair announced via Instagram in March of 2019 that the couple was expecting their second baby. In an interview with People, Scott said that he learned the exciting news on Christmas when Blair's brother gave him a wrapped box containing the positive pregnancy test and a pair of little socks.
"Blair came to me when Beckett was less than a year old and said, 'Why get out of the process now? Let's just have another kid," Scott recalls. "I think it would be really cool for Beckett to have a little sister or a little brother really close in age so they can grow up together. We both want big families."
The couple is expecting their new daughter to arrive in September.

A German man named Quisto, who lives in a small village near Berlin, Germany, found a USB stick with a strange symbol engraved on it in a parking lot near the so-called "Steintor" shopping center. Later, the man opened the USB key in his laptop and to his surprise, he saw many old 20th century images of what appeared to be planets, space, extraterrestrial spaceships and even alien figures.
According to Quisto, who has no idea who the owner of the USB key was, he decided to share about 28 images, hoping that someone will have an answer to give for these mysterious and incredible images.
It seems that the incredible images are authentic, but obviously one must keep in mind that it could be a hoax, but according to a friend of Quisto, the stick contains old Voyager probe travel records and the files that are inside the stick, would be Tops Secret and that should not be in the public domain. The witness stated that he never saw anything like this.
NASA launched Voyager 1 on September 5, 1977 and Voyager 2 42 years ago, or August 20, 1977. The probes had to study the most distant planets in the solar system.

Since its launch, Voyager 2 has met several planets, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Some of these planets can also be seen on images, such as different types of UFOs, including the infamous Black Knight. There are also photographs of lunar bases and spaceships flying in space near the Moon and planets in the solar system. In some photographs, mysterious unidentified alien figures are visible. Whether true or false, the experts are analyzing all the photographs and for now they cannot see any case of CGI input.

Are Aliens to blame for the extinction of dinosaurs?
Official science says that the huge lizards that once inhabited our planet became extinct about 65-66 million years ago. There are many versions of the death of these large reptiles, but the most probable theory is considered to be the fall of a huge asteroid, which changed the axis of the Earth's inclination, provoked volcanic activity with the release of millions of tons of ash into the atmosphere and, as a result, a decrease in temperature on our planet. According to this classic version, cold-blooded dinosaurs simply could not adapt to climate change, unlike warm-blooded mammals, and eventually died out, leaving only petrified skeletons in their memory.
For hundreds of millions of years, dinosaurs dominated the Earth, capturing and subjugating new territories. Centuries were replaced by millennia, and these huge animals knew no equal in strength and development. But one day the world changed. Aliens came to Earth who destroyed the dinosaurs and thus prepared the planet for the life of more intelligent creatures.
Dinosaurs – the inhabitants of a different star system
According to scientists, the last dinosaur of the Earth died 66 million years ago. Destruction began with the fall of several large asteroids of large mass, which launched the mechanism of mass extinction. A recent study claims that the fall of the asteroid group was the "final blow" in the totality of previous events.
Before the fall of a huge asteroid in the province of Yucatan, Mexico, our planet was already exhausted by various natural disasters. The destruction was carried out by intense seismic and volcanic activity, huge fluctuations in sea level, as well as extreme temperature changes. A whole group of climatic factors caused the destruction of the food chain of dinosaurs, which began to suffer from hunger.
On the other hand, the large asteroid caused powerful tsunamis, tectonic movements and a high level of radiation. The continental-sized fires that swept the surface of the entire planet significantly worsened the difficult situation. This killed any animal that could not find shelter underground or by water.
According to experts, if an asteroid had been exposed several million years before the climate deteriorated, everything could have turned out differently. In this case, there would be a huge food base, favorable for the life of dinosaurs. However, a number of unfortunate events occurred in the life of animals, where the asteroid crash occurred at a critical moment of their extreme weakness.
At the same time, some questions arose regarding the extinction of this species of huge inhabitants of the Earth. According to researchers, some descendants of dinosaurs managed to survive, such as crocodiles and birds. But the death of the dinosaurs took an interesting version.
Aliens destroyed the dinosaurs
There are more exotic versions of the end of giant dinosaurs. According to one of them, the dinosaurs were destroyed by aliens. Genetic experiments have been conducted on some with the goal of breeding a new intelligent race, similar to humans.
Supporters of the "conspiracy theory" believe that an experiment has turned out and the so-called "reptilians" still live in parallel with our civilization in underground tunnels and cities, occasionally catching the eye of frightened eyewitnesses. Others claim that the aliens exterminated the ancient reptiles in order to make way for the new"homo sapiens" project, that is, a rational person.
Back in the 50-60s of the twentieth century, the famous writer and archaeologist Alexander Kazantsev, excavating the cemetery of dinosaurs in the Gobi desert found the skulls of these huge animals with neat bullet holes. And on the well-known stones of Iki from South America, scenes of taming and hunting for dinosaurs are depicted, while people (or maybe anthropomorphic inhabitants of other planets) are not inferior to these giants in size.
What if the genocide of dinosaurs was carried out by aliens?
It is possible that gigantic lizards ran on the ground several thousand, or maybe hundreds of years ago. The American paleontologist Marie Schweizer opened several mass graves of ancient reptiles and felt a cadaverous smell and even found the remains of ligaments, blood vessels and soft tissues in the bones. After attempting to publish his research, Schweizer was expelled from the scientific community, banning further research.
Scientist Luis Alvarez during excavations discovered a very thin layer of precipitation over 54 million years old. Among the investigated material, a substance was discovered that is not a common component for the Earth. There have also been suggestions about the origin of this element, in which it is assumed that the material could have appeared due to consequences of nuclear bombing.
Other scientists have investigated substances found in dinosaur bones. The factor that attracted their attention is the high level of radioactivity that exists in the bones of dinosaurs.
All these factors led to the assumption that the true cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs is some advanced race from outer space. Moreover, this may not be the first "purge" that aliens conduct on Earth. And judging by the cycles of extinction, it can even be the fifth!
The reason aliens could be guided by destroying dinosaurs on the planet is because the animals posed a threat to their new human project. Aliens could prepare territories for the evolution and development of mankind in order to subsequently be able to provide a safe and reliable world for life.
It is reasonable to assume that the idea of a human farm created by aliens is visible in this. However, in order to dominate the planet and subsequently give us the opportunity to live, it was necessary to replace the dinosaurs with another species.
Giants who may have had to fight or even "tame" dinosaurs were the kind in front of people. These giants were mentioned in the genesis, and there is some evidence for this, such as huge petrified footprints in the rocks.
Giant footprints
There are also some artifacts from our ancestors where you can see people fighting dinosaurs. That is why it is entirely possible that the gigantic humans created by the aliens had to fight the surviving dinosaurs who were able to survive the alien attack.
Stones with drawings where people fight dinosaurs
Some species of dinosaurs, such as Rex, were the ones that posed the greatest threat. For this reason, the giants had to make a choice of species that could survive. This allowed the survival of animals such as crocodiles and birds.
In addition, some researchers claim that there is a species of reptile, a descendant of these dinosaur races that were brought from outside the planet. This was done with the goal of performing hybridization experiments between dinosaurs and aliens.
This time was the beginning of the spread of those inhabitants of the planet who subsequently found refuge in underground bases created by them themselves. Today, some of them are called gnomes, others are trolls – and they looks fabulous. At the same time, there are many underground tunnels that cross our entire Earth.
There is no doubt that there was a race of reptilian-humanoid creatures on our planet before us. They had a lot of time to create tunnels under the sea and create huge underground cities. There are evidence and photographs of these underground tunnels that encircle the entire planet
Some believe that these projects have not lost their relevance, and strange experiments are still being conducted on Earth.
PlayStation 5's new alleged design appears on the web
PlayStation 5 may look like this / © Twitter - Alcoholicaust
Drawings of the future Sony console leaked again on the Internet. But this is not similar to previous times.
In anticipation of the release of the Sony Playstation 5 game console, the official release of which is scheduled for the end of the year, leaks appear one after another on the network regarding the design of the device. A Twitter user with the nickname Alcoholikaust, who several months ago circulated the alleged PS5 images online, posted in his account a new version of the design of the console.
It looks even stranger than the previous options. The device consists of two beveled quadrangular plates separated by a kind of layer. At the same time, the bottom plate has two additional triangular "ears", and the power button is located on it. The interfaces for connecting the controller and the fan grill are likely to be located in the middle of the device.
Alcoholikaust notes that he cannot be one hundred percent sure that these are indeed the final drawings of the device. Commentators, in turn, noted that a similar design would be more suitable for the Xbox: if you look closely, the shape of the console in the pictures is a bit like the letter X.

The characteristics of the future PlayStation 5 were unveiled in April 2019, and in December the alleged photos of the brutal design (below) of the console appeared on the network .
Eyewitnesses say they saw the extinct huge Moa
According to official science, the huge New Zealand Moa birds disappeared in the late 15th century. But, they have been observed in the centuries to come and continue to be found in our time.
Hundreds of years ago, there were non-flying birds in New Zealand with powerful legs, similar to huge ostriches. Moa had no wings, even rudimentary ones. They ate fruits and plants. They lived carelessly until the first Maori arrived in New Zealand.
For the Maori, the cumbersome heavy giants reaching 3.5 meters in height, which posed no danger to humans, were an extremely easy prey. Over the course of several hundred years, humans have significantly reduced Moa's population so that they remain very few, and about 500 years ago, the last Moa was officially killed.
However, hunters reported that they sometimes saw separate instances of Moa. In all likelihood, a small population of Moa has managed to survive in sparsely populated forests.
There are many accounts of eyewitnesses who met Moa in New Zealand in the early 19th century.
Later, the number of these eyewitnesses dropped sharply. By the 20th century, Moa in New Zealand seems to have disappeared completely. Sometimes scientists come across remains of an animal that looked surprisingly fresh, such as a perfectly preserved leg. But, the laboratory study shows that these are very old remains.
Now, in New Zealand, native forests are becoming more crowded with numerous research enthusiasts, but the maximum they have found is some new species of lizards or insects.
However, Moa has sometimes been observed in modern times. Researcher Bruce Spightle has published Moa Sightings, describing more than a hundred modern eyewitness stories that have encountered huge, wingless birds with powerful legs in the woods.
One of the most famous sightings took place on January 20, 1993, when three friends – Paddy Frini, Sam Webby and Rochelle Rafferty, went on a hike in the Craigieburn Range, South Island.
At one point, the group stopped to rest. Then Frini noticed a huge bird about the height of a man, covered in red-brown and gray feathers, standing among the prickly bushes. Frini pointed to his friends' bird and the three looked at her in amazement.
After a short while, the bird noticed the people and began to move nervously behind the bushes. At that moment, Frini managed to get the camera out of his backpack and take a picture before the bird disappeared.
Paddy Frini's Photo
This photo, which is of rather poor quality, has caused a lot of commotion among biologists and ordinary people. It was hard not to believe Frini and his friends. They have long been hiking and are serious people, with no inclination for such jokes. But it was even harder to believe in the disappearance of Moa.
The scientists discussed this picture for a long time and finally decided that whatever it was, the creature was not Moa. They concluded that the neck was too thick, the legs not so long, and that from a certain angle the creature of the picture looked more like a deer.
For years, until the very end of his life, Frini visited the area, constantly trying to find Moa and take at least one more photo, but to no avail. He found several people in the same area and also saw something that looked like a large bird.
Another enthusiast is crypto-scientist Rex Gilroy, who has been searching for Moa in New Zealand for the past 30 years.
Gilroy and his castings with suspected traces of Moa
According to him, in 1980 he discovered a "completely fresh" footprint of Moa's foot in the northern part of the country, and in 2001 and 2008, he even found a trail of very large bird tracks from which he made castings.
In 2007, he claimed to have found Moa's large nest in an old stump, but did not show photos or say where it was, thus provoking criticism and allegations of lies. In his defense, Gilroy states that he hides the nesting area so that humans do not disturb the birds.
Many skeptics are convinced that Moa has indeed disappeared and all modern evidence is simply a hoax and a thirst for fame On the other hand, the testimony of eyewitnesses who saw Moa or their footprints always comes from those parts of the country that are still poorly populated and poorly studied.
That is, theoretically a group of large birds could really survive there. Moreover, Moa are not predators. The fruits and plants will be sufficient to feed them, even in a small forest.

text: Q: QScriptEngine queue slot connection I'm looking at using QScriptEngine in a project as a simple way to interact with a console application. With a few lines I was able to get everything wired up and it works great (I'm able to call slots on my objects, access properties, etc) except it seems that whenever I invoke a slot through a script command, it is called on the thread that QScriptEngine is on instead of the thread that the QObject is on. I have 3 threads in my application and the slots on the QObjects must be called on their respective threads. Is there a simple way to tell the script engine to fire the slot into the QObjects' threads' event loop?

Every time you inhale the savory aromas of a home-cooked meal or the pungent smell of strong perfume, different spatial patterns of activity are evoked in odor-processing regions of the brain. Moreover, different odors elicit patterns of activity that evolve in different ways over time. For example, the timing of neuronal activity in a brain region called the olfactory bulb, relative to when an animal sniffs, conveys important information about odors. Yet relatively little is known about the behavioral relevance of the timing information generated by patterns of activity in the olfactory bulb.
In a study published this week in PLOS Biology, Justus V. Verhagen of the John B. Pierce Laboratory and his collaborators provide evidence that the mammalian olfactory system is capable of very high rates of transmission of transient information. Using an innovative optogenetics approach, they found that mice can precisely discriminate virtual odors associated with patterns of neuronal activity that differed by as little as 13 ms. According to the authors, the ability to rapidly and accurately recognize odors could provide a survival advantage, putting evolutionary pressure on the brain to maximize the use of odor information at the earliest stages of sensory processing.
To precisely control the timing of neuronal activity produced by virtual odors, Verhagen and his team used genetically engineered mice that expressed channelrhodopsin 2 (a light-sensitive protein originally isolated from the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii that functions as an ion channel) in a subset of olfactory bulb neurons called mitral/tufted cells. Exposure to light opened channelrhodopsin 2, allowing ions to flow inside and excite these cells. Using a novel custom-designed light projector, the researchers projected high-resolution, sniff-triggered movies onto the olfactory bulb to activate the cells and thereby stimulate the perception of virtual odors. All of the movies consisted of the same spatial pattern of eight light spots. However, in static movies, all eight spots were projected simultaneously onto the olfactory bulb, whereas in dynamic movies, one set of four spots was presented before the second set of four spots. The mice were trained to discriminate between the virtual odors by licking a spout for a water reward in response to stimulation with dynamic movies but not in response to stimulation with static movies.
The researchers set out to determine the threshold at which mice could accurately discriminate between the virtual odors based on neuronal activity in the olfactory bulb. To do so, they systematically decreased the delay between the two sets of four spots in the dynamic movie. When the two sets of spots were separated by 13 ms, the mice still achieved an accuracy of more than 75%. The findings highlight the impressive temporal precision of the olfactory system, which is comparable to the sense of touch and much higher than the sense of taste.
To establish the biological relevance of this ability to detect timing differences, the researchers created movies based on recordings of neuronal activity in the olfactory bulb of a mouse exposed to a fruity odor. These virtual odor movies were then projected onto the olfactory bulb of the genetically engineered mice. The animals were able to distinguish between these dynamic movies and static virtual odor movies that produced the same spatial pattern of neuronal activity but contained no timing information. To assess whether this temporal precision depended on the timing of neuronal activation relative to sniffing, the researchers introduced a variable jitter, ranging from zero to 50 ms, after the mice sniffed and before the movie played. The performance of the mice was unaffected by the jitter, suggesting that the temporal patterns of neuronal activation on their own can support precise odor discriminations, independent of the sniff cycle.
Taken together with past research, these new findings show that the timing of neuronal activation relative to sniffing, as well as the temporal dynamics of activity within the olfactory bulb, can both be used by mice to distinguish odors with a comparably high level of temporal precision. The study sheds new light on the ability of the olfactory system to perform very fast, information-rich computations on a vast number of odors to guide animal behavior. More broadly, the research demonstrates that the olfactory system can be used as a model system to explore how brain circuits encode complex dynamic patterns.

CTC Announces Black History Month Movie Lineup
Cooper Anderson
Cooper Anderson Published: February 7, 2021
With February in full swing, it is important to remember that this is Black History Month as well. Many special events are taking place across the country to celebrate Black contributions and voices, and Central Texas is no exception.
Central Texas College will be offering movie nights to the public, screening select films in support of the month.
It all kicks off on February 10th at 6:30 PM with "The Great Debaters", which won Denzel Washington the BET Best Actor award in 2008..
This will be followed by "The Harlem Hellfighters" on February 13th. This movie is about the 15th regiment of the New York National Guard, which was an all African- American combat regiment.
Then they will play "Harriet" on February 20th, which tells the heroic story of the famous Harriet Tubman and her escape from slavery.
The final movie in the Black History Month lineup is "Buffalo Soldiers" on the 27th. It is about the racial tension between soldiers after the Civil War as they fight against Native American attacks. This movie won the American Society of Cinematographers Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Movies of the Week/Pilots in 1998.
As with almost everywhere else, CDC guidelines will be followed, including wearing face masks as well as social distancing, which will be aided by limiting the number of people inside each show.
The movies will be played at the Mayborn Science Theatre on campus, which has the famous 60-foot dome screen. No matter where you sit, you will have a great view of these films!
As a CTC student, I am happy about this lineup of movies to honor Black History Month and I can't wait to see them on the big screen.
If you're staying home due to the pandemic or want to explore more films about Black experiences in America, here's a list of movies you ought to check out.

Eldan and I recently went to the Olympic Peninsula to visit my parents. It's a beautiful place, and since my parents recently moved there, there's a lot there that's new to all of us. One day of that trip in particular stands out to me in particular as having been all about the anthropocene.
We started that day by going to the Olympic Game Farm, which is both hilarious and terrible. When you arrive, you are cautioned to remain in your car, although you're allowed to roll the windows down, in order to feed the animals slices of bread. We all felt weird about feeding the animals, so we didn't buy any.
In retrospect, I'm pretty sure that ours was only car in the park with no bread in it. The animals are tame and they know you're there to see and interact with them, and the bread is definitely what they get out of the arrangement.
It had been a long time since I had seen something as funny as my dad's reaction to a yak ambling over to the truck and sticking its whole head in his rolled-down driver's-side window. The yak's demeanor was somewhere between that of a parking attendant and a friendly dog. During our visit, we got sniffed at and snorted on with snuffly broad wet noses and drooled upon and unblinkingly stared at and followed by a variety of ungulates. We saw a fat old toothless brown bear that would wave at you Maneki Neko style for a slice of bread, and a few other ones that were younger and and slimmer. They weren't the sad part.
The other predators were the sad part, especially the ones that were native to the Olympic Peninsula. Why keep two black bears in cages when there are many more black bears outside the cages, too? Or a herd of elk, really? They were there because they had been born in captivity and would have no idea how to comport themselves in the wild. The animals there can't be released, so there they are, for tourists to gawp at and throw slices of bread at. The only reason they are in this world at all is because humans decided that it would be so.
The Olympic Game Farm is full of white elephants.
Later that day, we went up to a dried lake bed that had once been Lake Aldwell, which was created by damming the Elwha River. Some lumber baron or another had decided to dam the lake in order to produce hydroelectric power, and logged the land that was going to be flooded. So there was a lake and a dam for a hundred years there, and people went boating and fishing.
A couple of years ago, we collectively decided that it was better to un-dam the Elwha. The dams on it were generating only a fraction of a percent of the state's power, the affected course of the Elwha had caused flooding elsewhere, and the ecosystem in the Olympic National Park was adversely affected by the dams. Anyway, dams aren't natural, so why would we have them in a National Park? So we blew up all the dams.
It was a start, but it was more of an eraser than an undo button. The river flowing through the former lakebed was a pale gray, because it carried a hundred years of backed-up sediment. When my parents had gone to the same spot a month earlier, they had seen sockeye running there already, and that was because some of the salmon had been landlocked for generations, and then washed out to sea with a bunch of lake water and exploding dam bits.
What would it have been like for them to arrive in salt water?
On the banks of the Elwha, the stumps of huge trees that were cut down a hundred years ago are exposed now. Eldan and I stood on top of one of them, and it was easily seven feet in diameter, as big around as the trees in the Grove of the Patriarchs. What had its lumber been used for?
Eldan on that big stump.
Earlier in the trip we had gone to the Jamestown S'Klallam carving shed and wondered at the size of logs that were waiting to be carved into totem poles- huge logs, 700 or 800 years old, the woodcarver had said, but they were only half as big around as this stump.
We can free the Elwha and its salmon, but we can't know what it would have looked like if we had never dammed it. And we'll never have that tree back, and in a hundred years, there may well be tame elk and black bears at the Olympic Game Farm, or a population of feral yaks on the Olympic Peninsula.


After Calvin had his seizure in the bath the other night I had a bad dream. In the dream we were out of town visiting Calvin's Grandparents. It was time to give Calvin his evening seizure medicine that I had laid out earlier. When I went to find the pills they were gone. Panic-stricken, everyone began scouring the entire house in hopes of finding them. I described the small, clear plastic container that I use to store cut pills, but no one had seen it. Then it occurred to me that Calvin's medicine might have been accidentally mistaken for another and put away, so we examined each and every prescription bottle in the house.
As the dream continued it became apparent to me that our search to unearth Calvin's missing seizure drugs had become futile, so I needed to take different measures. Nearly two hours had passed since Calvin was supposed to get his medicine and so I began dreading a seizure. I picked up the phone to call his doctor to get a new prescription sent into a local pharmacy. Each time I dialed the number my fingers failed me; I kept hitting the wrong button—over and over and over—and I could not get through. Finally, in my anguish and desperation, I cried out, and thus woke myself up from the dream. And there was Calvin, sleeping soundly, nestled up next to me with his smooth, warm legs draped across my side.

Kamala Harris Seeks Investigation Into Attorney General Barr, 'He Should Not Act as the President's Henchman'
"I am now suspicious," the senator said

Lev Parnas: 'Trump Knew Exactly What Was Going On' With Ukraine Scheme
California Senator Kamala Harris' pointed questioning of Attorney General Bill Barr during this week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings garnered a lot of attention. Not only because Harris asked questions with unflinching precision but because she left Barr with no choice but to obfuscate about whether or not President Donald Trump or other White House officials "asked or suggested" Barr open an investigation into anyone.
On Friday, Harris sent a letter to the Justice Department's inspector general Michael Horowitz asking for an investigation into the matter. According to CNN, Harris said in the letter that, "Such inappropriate requests by the President have been well documented. Special Counsel Mueller … documented a disturbing pattern of behavior on the part of the President—repeated attempts to target his perceived opponents."
The letter continued: "There must be no doubt that the Department of Justice and its leadership stand apart from partisan politics, and resist improper attempts to use the power of federal law enforcement to settle personal scores."
Harris appeared on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow show later that night, and Maddow asked the Democratic 2020 presidential candidate: "Do you believe that it's possible that [Barr has] been getting direction from the White House or from the president about opening investigations into the president's perceived enemies?"
Harris answered flatly, "Based on his non-response, I am now suspicious." She went on to say that is why she sent the letter to the inspector general requesting an investigation.
"The Attorney General is supposed to act on behalf of the people and not act as the president's henchman," Harris added.
Harris then hammered Barr's overall testimony in front of the committee and his previous statements and actions.
"The issue that is really at play is the integrity of our system of justice, literally. This is the top law enforcement and top law official of the United States Department of Justice who through his testimony and then all of the weeks leading up to him testifying before us has called into question his integrity," Harris said.
