I want to thank Bruce Alberts and the Academy for hosting this meeting today and Arthur Rubenstein and all of you for being here. Many of us as researchers, university administrators, and, government policy makers, we have a keen interest in making sure we have for the first time a fair and workable government-wide policy on research misconduct. This discussion of the proposed policy developed by all the agencies of the President's National Science and Technology Council in conjunction with the Office of Science and Technology Policy will help make that goal a reality. Most of the work was done under the leadership of my distinguished predecessor, Jack Gibbons, who deserves a lot of credit for helping us get to where we are today.
My remarks will be brief this morning. I will depend on Sybil Francis, who has shepherded this important project forward from the beginning, to provide much of the detail about development of this policy. But I would like to note that this discussion marks a major milestone in public policy. Nearly twenty years ago Congressman Al Gore held the first hearings in the Congress on the subject of research misconduct. Since then, the federal agencies and the research community have worked �usually together but sometimes at cross-purposes � to build the policies, institutional structures, and practices to guide us in dealing with research misconduct.
We all learned a lot during that process. The members of Congress � and the citizens they represent � sought greater accountability in all aspects of research. The research community sought greater recognition of the unique features of the scientific process that must factor into judgments about research integrity.
As we began to grapple with these issues, a number of high profile cases threatened to undermine public confidence in the research enterprise. We are all too familiar with the tendency of government, in the absence of sound guiding principles, to overreact or react inappropriately to individual cases � a tendency that can be damaging to individuals and institutions and that rarely leads to good policy. The good news is that OSTP in developing the proposed Federal research misconduct policy made every effort to avoid those pitfalls. Working with all the research agencies, OSTP conducted a fully deliberative process that took a while � quite a while � to complete, but we believe produced a good outcome.
I think most of you know that two reports that preceded this federal effort � the 1992 National Academy of Sciences study on Responsible Science and the congressionally mandated Commission on Research Integrity's report � were spawned during periods of turmoil. Both reports called on OSTP to coordinate the development of a government-wide uniform research misconduct policy. Fortunately, tempers and paranoia had cooled by the time OSTP asked the NSTC to set to work on this problem.
· Sustained public trust, and funding, for the scientific enterprise.
We also recognized that uniformity in Federal agency policies would serve the best interests of the research community. The proposed policy has undergone extensive agency review and clearance at a number of levels. It represents the consensus among the Federal research agencies of the government that conduct research about what a research misconduct policy should look like. I think you will find the policy balanced and fair.
Before concluding my remarks, I want to thank all of you � the agencies, the university community, the journalists, the science and engineering professional societies � for helping us get to where we are today. I even want to acknowledge Congress (yes, really!). Those who experienced � and survived � the intense scrutiny, sense of outrage, and some might say rough handling by the Congress of some of the high-profile cases of alleged research misconduct might, quite reasonably, have a different perspective! But if one takes the long view, congressional interest overtime has been an important motivating force in all this.
And we have moved forward. This proposed policy bears witness to this Administration's commitment to integrating public values with our strong scientific and technological enterprise. The two are inextricably linked.
I hope you will take the opportunity to submit your formal written comments on the draft policy to Sybil Francis at OSTP before the December 13th cut-off date. Thank you.

I belong to Jind, Haryana. My father works in a chemist shop and mother a home maker. The idea of me going for Civil Services matured during my internship in 2012.This was because I used to believe that as a Civil Servant I could work for masses in much more effective way, having greater authority as well as resources at my disposal.
In my view, out of sea of information available one needs to be selective and not get carried away. I used to read newspaper and make notes, also referred to internet for value addition.
The beauty of this exam is that it rewards perseverance. Definitely mood swings will be there but one needs to be focused. Having faith in oneself is the precondition. I used to make small small achievable goals rather than planning big. Also I used to play sports to keep myself fit and energetic.
Have faith in yourself and keep yourself motivated. Talk to your friends, family, relatives. Feel joyous in small achievements like good marks in a test series. This exam takes time till final goal is achieved.
I got selected last year also but my rank was not satisfactory. The main reason was low marks in optional. I worked on that aspect along with on essay and that paid off well.
Practice as many papers as possible for prelims. Focus more on areas like environment and culture from where too many questions come these days.
Just solve 2-3 papers of CSAT. If you are finding it difficult need to work more.
I used to practice sample papers ofVision IAS. Mock tests can help in a way that they streamline your preparation and give you necessary feedback.
In my first attempt I got just 75 marks in essay and thus could not qualify mains. Then I seriously focused on essay .I used to write essays and got them evaluated from many persons. One important aspect of essay writing is that the beginning and ending must be appealing. Ending must also be visionary.
First one on value education and second on dreams which shouldn't let India sleep.
Once basic concepts are clear then paper could be attempted easily. Focus on answer writing particularly case studies.
Try to attempt as many questions as possible. Even if you have some idea about a question, attempt it.
Merely filling space doesn't matter, what matters is content.
I tried to answer mostly in bullets, but in some cases paragraph also.
In few questions this can be done but completing paper is race against time so not possible in each and every question.
In optional papers only. In GSs papers no time left to use them.
Yes I drew diagrams in Geography and optional.
With pen only because no time to use pencil.
Blue pen as it gives a better contrast in white sheet.
Medical Science. I chose it as it is my graduation subject and well scoring.
No test series available in market so need to practice previous years question papers.
On certain topics like Dermatology and Psychiatry. In paper format.
Same level as of previous year.
Searched from internet and books. Read newspapers for current affairs.
Yes. Not exactly similar but they do help in sensitizing you for the ultimate day.
At friend's room. Just read the newspaper.
Be there on time and bring your eye prescription if using spectacles.
This question disturbs a lot especially the medicos. I replied that in Civil Services I would have greater resources at my disposal as well as authority to bring the required change which I somehow lack in my present job.
Would have focused more on GS.
Though I haven't thought of it but if not selected I would have continued my career in medical field.
In my view Optional subject helps aspirants of science background especially when the whole exam pattern is tilted towards humanities, so I am not in favour of removing it.
That was a good move but still some issues like Hindi translation are there which needs to be resolved.
Yes in my view IFoS exam should be separated from CSE. Half merger has led to one more problem that the prelims paper is flooded with environment ecology questions.
In my case it wasn't present as I was working. But honestly speaking these things don't matter at all. In interview, you are judged based on your views and not your schooling medium and work profile.
Try to give your best and you will succeed one day. Never get bogged down by the facts that you are from rural/poor background. Its only hard work that matters and nothing else.
As mentioned earlier self-confidence and perseverance are the key to success not only in this exam but for every exam. Rectify your mistakes and again prepare with full energy, you will definitely succeed.
My parents, teachers and friends. Two persons I would like to mention here are: My uncle Dr K S Goyal – he is the person who first suggested me to go for this exam and stood with me during my entire preparation phase and second is my brother Vivek who is my best teacher, mentor and guide.
Yes definitely helpful especially for the starters. Your Economics articles have helped a lot in clearing basic concepts. The lectures on geography are also quite helpful. I owe you much in my success.
Sir,how many questions on medical science were asked in the interview.?
One thing i do not understand ,,why do they join coaching when they prefer the Basic standard book like NCERT for Ancient medieval and so on like polity lakshmikant or say mrunal economics ?? stranage ..again if they following NCERT then how do they got/managed time for Coaching material and their materials??
I think the same reason – "Why did you attend the school from class 1-10th when you could have read all the NCERTs sitting at home" i.e. the reason to attend coaching is to get guidance and to learn how to read, visualise things in a broader aspect, how to develop forward and backward linkages and moreover to assess urself where you are standing among all the aspirants.
Sir me MBBS kar rha hu 1st year h.
Suggest me please: I completed b.pharmacy can I take medical science as optional ??
Sir biggest fan of yours..
Aap ki profile din me kitani bar padhti hu ..salute.

Official Properties: Site- COC.com FB- Facebook.com/corrosionofconformity IG- @Coccabal Twitter- @CoccabalCorrosion of Conformity are reuniting with guitarist/vocalist Pepper Keenan for UK/European and North American dates. Other than a few surprise appearances, this will be the first time Keenan has toured with the band since 2006. This will also be the first time the "Deliverance" lineup of the group has played together since 2001.
C.O.C. recently emerged from hibernation as a trio and released 2012's eponymous album and 2014's "IX" to wide acclaim, but many have been eagerly awaiting the return of Pepper Keenan.The band were originally an influential hardcore punk/heavy metal crossover act before reaching critical success with a new lineup on 1991's "Blind" album. That trajectory continued with wider appeal as Keenan took over as primary vocalist on "Deliverance" (1994) and "Wiseblood" (1996). These two recordings in particular fused the raw energy of the previous albums with some great strides forward in classic rock inspired songwriting and more spacious production and execution, which were often copied but rarely equalled.
This juggernaut gained mass and momentum with relentless touring alongside Metallica, Clutch, Eyehategod and many more.Eventually following "In the Arms of God", 2005, Keenan focused all energy on his hometown band Down. Until now, that is. Recent internet chatter on the subject of a reunion turns out be true.

Jonathan Fernandes, president of Green Amber, received an earful Thursday afternoon, January 31, as more than 100 residents gathered to listen (and respond!) to his public presentation and meeting, mandated by the Regional District.
Green Amber, an Ontario company, is seeking permission to pour more than 100,000 sq ft of concrete as a base for their planned industrial marijuana production facility on Shafer Road in rural Lumby.
Because the land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, Order in Council 380 mandates that the operation be carried out on soil. But Health Canada requires that medical marijuana must be produced in a "controlled and sterile" environment, and a concrete floor protects against mould and other contaminants. Green Amber wants to process medical marijuana; hence their Application for an exemption. And the ALC will not contemplate such an Application without the explicit approval of the Regional District.

Cherries for China, Pits and Pollution for BC!
When I wrote the article below I had not realized the extent of the ravages to rural areas that are inherent in the 2014 Canada-China Cherry Agreement. In order to grow the industry as much as predicted growers buy land in areas that are "suitable" only because deafening equipment such as helicopters and fans are used, making life unlivable for neighbours and because constant spraying pollute the air, water and nearby crops.
The 2014 agreement plans to cover the Okanagan (see map attachment) with industrial cherry orchards, although government acknowledges that growing cherries industrially conflicts with life in the Okanagan. This was admitted in the report written last week during the BC Farm Industry Review Board in Vernon where two complainants asked for a reduction of the incessant noise emitted from a Lavington orchard. See report and closing document of complainants below where they argue that this is NOT normal farming.

Once they come, forget about your peace of mind, clean air and water, seeing birds and wildlife and selling your property. You won't want to stay in it and nobody in their right mind will want to buy it. All it takes is one in an area to make properties unsalable and turn a lovely rural community into an area that sounds like a war zone and is unfit to live. Industrial cherry orchardists are on the lookout for cheap land and climate change is now making it possible to use land further north.
A new wave of gene-edited crops are dodging regulators, and they're about to reach stores.
When I visited Jason McHenry's farm in South Dakota, the young farmer, dressed in worn jeans and sunglasses, led me up a slippery steel ladder on the side of a grain bin. We tumbled through the manhole into a shifting mountain of soybeans. You could sift them through your fingers and taste their sweet, cloudy flavor.
The U.S. soybean crop is four billion bushels a year, about 240 billion pounds. It generates the most cash receipts for American farms after cattle and corn. Of those beans, more than 90 percent are genetically modified organisms, or GMOs—that is, they've been genetically enhanced, most often through the addition of a gene from a soil bacterium that renders them immune to the weed killer glyphosate, commonly known as Roundup.
(Beyond Pesticides, December 13, 2017) A recent study finds that environmental exposures contribute to increasing disease burden and corresponding health costs that may exceed 10% of global gross domestic product (GDP). Neurological impairments particularly add significant costs to both individuals and societies. This European study combined cost calculations for exposures to environmental chemicals, including pesticides, air pollution, and endocrine disrupting substances, and suggests that a shift in priority setting for environmental policy is needed.

Rescuers search for survivors after a suspension bridge collapsed in Morbi town.
Contributor/Reuters
At least 132 people were killed when a suspension bridge collapsed in Gujarat, India.
More than 400 people plunged into the Machhu River as authorities continue searching for survivors.
The bridge was built during British colonial rule in the 19th century.
A suspension bridge in Gujarat in western India collapsed and killed at least 132 people on Sunday, local government officials told Reuters. Local authorities continue to look for survivors as over 400 people had plunged into the river below.
"The death toll in the bridge collapse incident has gone up to 132. The search and rescue operations are continuing," NK Muchhar, a senior official, told the wire on Monday. He added that the death toll is expected to rise.
A video posted by local news channel News24 showed the exact moment the footbridge collapse into the Macchu River, as hundreds of people were celebrating Diwali, a Hindu festival. The footage showed people smiling and chatting when the cables suddenly snapped, causing them to fall into the river.
—News24 (@news24tvchannel) October 31, 2022
Another video posted on Twitter by News24 showed dozens of people hanging on the collapsed bridge, some of whom attempted to climb the structure. Bystanders can be heard shouting and screaming, as sirens blared in the background.
Indian Army personnel were deployed to conduct search and rescue operations, as national disaster management and emergency teams continued to look for missing people.
In a Twitter post by the news agency ANI, several photos showed army personnel in boats sifting through marshland. One photo showed dozens of orange boats cruising through the river tracing survivors.
—ANI (@ANI) October 31, 2022
Gujarat state minister Brijesh Merja told local television station NDTV that at least 17 people were sent to a hospital and were undergoing treatment, per CNN's report. Indian Minister of Parliament Mohanbhai Kalyanji Kundariya told NDTV that children were among the fatalities, as cited by CNN.
A photo taken by Reuters on October 31 showed Indian Army personnel carrying bodies on a stretcher as search and rescue teams in boats continued to look for survivors.
Army soldiers carry the body of a victim after a suspension bridge collapsed in Morbi.
The footbridge was built during British colonial rule in the 19th century. It had been closed for half a year undergoing renovations and was only opened to the public recently, according to Reuters. The state of Gujarat had lodged a criminal complaint against the maintenance agency in charge of the bridge, per The Times of India, citing Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi.
Another photo by Reuters showed dozens on people gathered at the base of the bridge the day after it collapsed.

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel said in a Twitter post on October 30 the state government would be giving each family of the deceased around 4 lakh, or $500, in compensation. He added that each injured person would be receiving around $600 in compensation.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a Twitter post on October 30 that he was "deeply saddened by the tragedy at Morbi."
"Talked to Gujarat Chief Minister Shri @Bhupendrapbjp and other officials about this. Relief and rescue operations are going on in full swing and all necessary assistance is being provided to the affected," Modi wrote in Gujarati.

Our singular purpose is to achieve a transformative reduction in Chicago gun violence.
In 2016, Chicago had a record 764 homicides (up 58% from 2015) and over 4,000 shootings. Both numbers are up by 50% over the past five years.
Chicago has more killings and shootings than New York City and Los Angeles combined—both in real numbers and on a per-capita basis. Over the last five years in New York City, homicides are down 20% and shootings are down 27%. In Los Angeles, homicides and shootings have stayed low with fewer than 294 homicides and 1,178 shootings last year.
In Chicago, only 26% of city homicides and only 5% of shootings ever resulted in arrests.
Over 71% of violent crime was confined to just 15 of the 77 city neighborhoods. Nearly 80% of homicide victims are African American.
Chicago CRED (Creating Real Economic Destiny) was created in 2016 by Emerson Collective, a social impact organization founded and run by Laurene Powell Jobs, along with former U.S. Education Secretary and Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan.
We believe the best solution for ending gun violence is recruiting men most likely to be perpetrators or victims of shootings and transition them to jobs in the legal economy that pay as much or more than what they earn in the violence-plagued illegal economy.
The drug/gang economy is virtually the only viable source of income in the highest-crime neighborhoods.
Street life has become so dangerous that men are receptive to non-criminal alternatives--if given the support services and training needed for safer, better-paying jobs in the private sector.
The financial bar is not high. Average street-level drug dealers most at risk to engage in gun violence make approximately $11-$13/hour—comparable to many entry-level jobs in Chicago.
Chicago CRED's bold, research-based intervention strategy addresses the social, emotional and job readiness support to place our program participants in permanent, full-time jobs with private employers at a targeted starting wage of $12-$15/hour.
Training in the soft and hard skills needed to be effective employees.
Supervised transitional jobs working in areas such as interior home demolition, conservation and city beautification that provide the real-life experience of private-sector employment (punctuality, hard work, appropriate work behavior, etc.).
Intensive life coaching—a long-term supportive relationship to help set personal and professional goals and specific plans to achieve them.
A menu of other support services including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to manage conflict and emotions effectively, trauma counseling, tutoring to attain a GED or high school diploma, substance abuse counseling, legal counseling and help securing stable housing.
Graduates of our program are placed in permanent full-time jobs with private employers. CRED builds relationships with employers and matches the right candidate with the right job. Our early graduates are working in jobs that pay between $12-$20/hour in industries such as construction, healthcare, security and manufacturing. Read more about the industries in which we operate.
All CRED graduates receive 12 months of ongoing life coaching once placed in permanent jobs.
Chicago CRED operates its programs on the South and West Sides of Chicago. We are currently serving roughly 100 men in the Roseland, North Lawndale, West Garfield Park, Englewood neighborhoods.

Chan K'in's narrative was originally recorded on 1/4 audio tape in the context of a documentary film production that was undertaken in 1991. The setting was set up by the director, Suzanne Cook, to record interactive exchanges between Chan K'in and a number of the community's children. Chan K'in was asked to tell the children a story. The film crew can be heard in the background talking to Chan K'in.

Thankfully Paul McCartney's New Album Only Pretends To Be Modern Pop Music
DETROIT, MI – OCTOBER 01: Sir Paul McCartney performs during his One on One Tour at Little Caesars Arena on October 1, 2017 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Scott Legato/Getty Images)
The Week In Pop September 6, 2018 4:29 PM By Chris DeVille
At age 76, Paul McCartney is still horny as hell. Judging by the advance singles from the former Beatle's new album Egypt Station, the guy who once hollered "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" continues to have a very active libido on the eve of his 17th solo studio album.
Upon announcing the project, his first collection of new songs since 2013's New, McCartney shared its first two proper songs. The first, "I Don't Know," is the kind of self-reflective ballad you'd expect from an aging rock icon in the post-American Recordings era: "I got crows at my window and dogs at my door/ But I don't think I can take anymore/ What am I doing wrong? I don't know/ Now what's the matter with me? I don't know." The other, a rumbling rocker called "Come On To Me," begins with the lyric, "I saw you flash a smile, that seemed to me to say/ You wanted so much more than casual conversation." From there he proceeds with more thinly veiled allusions to getting it on, at which point a bouncy rhythm out of the "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" playbook takes on the same effect as the bouncing bedsprings on any number of rap and R&B songs.
Such semi-explicit fare is not what I expect anymore from the cool, kindly grandfather of rock 'n' roll. Even in the Beatles' heyday, McCartney was the polite gentleman of the group, the sentimental sap responsible for "Yesterday" and "Penny Lane." (No shots; I, a fellow sentimental sap, love those songs unreservedly.) He's continued to maintain a squeaky-clean reputation in the intervening decades and in recent years has become such a rarefied unifying force that his participation can redeem even garish James Corden stunts.
This is a man who can be counted on to stoke the embers of nostalgia by simply opening his mouth, be it to sing songs or share anecdotes. He is the Beatles' formidable legacy rendered in flesh and blood, a true larger-than-life figure who I mostly associate with warm fuzzies at this point. So to hear him intone, "Did you come on to me? Well I come on to you" — it threw me for a loop, you know? And when his next single found him outright declaring, "I wanna fuck you," my face melted into the scream emoji on contact.
Overt sexuality is only one of the ways McCartney adapts to today's pop landscape on Egypt Station. He recruited Greg Kurstin — the gold-plated hit-maker behind Adele's "Hello," Sia's "Chandelier," Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," and countless others — to produce all but one track. The lone exception, the aforementioned "Fuh You," was produced by Ryan Tedder, another one of today's most in-demand hired guns. Tedder makes sure his big Macca moment blends neatly into the guys-with-guitars corner of the top 40 alongside Imagine Dragons, Shawn Mendes, and Tedder's own OneRepublic. But even the Kurstin tracks have a distinctly modern sheen, McCartney's unmistakable style Instagram-filtered into the realm of 2018 pop-rock.
Kurstin, who also has worked extensively with indie-leaning pop acts like Lily Allen, Chvrches, Maggie Rogers, and Tegan And Sara, has lately become a go-to guy for aging rockers seeking to reinvigorate their pop prospects. Until now "aging" has ranged from post-punk iconoclasts Devo to O.C.-era crossover stars the Shins, most recently with a focus on Gen-X mainstays like Foo Fighters and Beck. (Before his high-powered producer days, Kurstin played in Beck's live band.) So although McCartney predates all those dinosaurs by decades, pairing him with Kurstin isn't the craziest idea in the world. And the resulting album sounds more invigorated than I'd expect from any human three quarters of a century deep, to say nothing of a music legend who stopped releasing legendary music several administrations ago.
At this point I should clarify that anyone expecting to have their life changed by a new Paul McCartney album in 2018 will be sorely disappointed. Egypt Station isn't RAM or Band On The Run or even Pipes Of Peace. If McCartney is in the zone here, it's the comfort zone. What I can promise you is that if McCartney's music has already changed your life — if you're among those of us who worship the Beatles as musical royalty and chafe at the suggestion that they're overrated, who've been enthralled by one of McCartney's career-spanning live shows and cling to Beatles fandom as a beloved family tradition — you'll probably be comforted by the album too.
As with New's title track and "Queenie Eye," the high points on Egypt Station are high enough to ensure they won't derail the momentum at McCartney concerts. The best of them, deep cut "Despite Repeated Warnings," is a classic multi-part McCartney buildup in the tradition of "Band On The Run," ascending from warm piano chords to a pulsing backbeat to grandiose orchestral Broadway rock and back down into a string-laden float. Closing track "Hunt You Down" operates in the same vein but shifts shape more subtly, piecing together rock, orchestral, and electronic sounds into a nervy groove before easing into a lengthy blues outro. In form, function, and spirit, these are throwbacks to the spliced-fragment medley at the end of Abbey Road, except these are tied together thematically, sometimes to their detriment. (On "Despite Repeated Warnings," McCartney tries to force a convoluted narrative about a ship captain to make a point about democracy.)
Cycling back to the top of the tracklist, "I Don't Know" and another early track, "Happy With You," are some of the prettiest ballads McCartney has written in years. One, a plaintive piano number about the inevitability of hurting those we love, gets a lot of mileage out of toggling between major and minor keys, McCartney's innate sense of melody holding it all together as ever. The other leans on finger-plucked guitar arpeggios á la "Blackbird" and features some truly tender expressions of romantic contentment. Meanwhile "Who Cares" complements its chin-out blues strut with this confident advice: "Who cares what the idiots say? Who cares what the idiots do?" And the raunchy sex jams, while awkward, are also ridiculously catchy Paul McCartney pop songs buoyed by rich arrangements. "Fuh You" expands beyond chipper radio bait into chamber-pop quirkiness. "Come On To Me" ends in a barrage of celebratory brass and, when the smoke clears, sitar.
The album's relatively sleepy second half lacks for memorable moments. "Confidante" and "Hand In Hand" respectively prove McCartney does not simply crap out genius every time he touches an acoustic guitar or piano. All I can say for DOA protest song "People Want Piece" is at least it's better than his goofy post-9/11 single "Freedom." "Do It Now" is not a strong enough song to bear the weight of so much shmaltz, while "Dominoes" barely registers at all. Credit is due, however, for the smooth electric piano shimmy "Back In Brazil" and the lively, amorphous, utterly weird "Caesar Rock." (Oddly, the latter, not the former, is the one that sounds like it's using bossa nova Casio presets.)
McCartney may be one of the original pop stars, but he has no business making a 2018-vintage pop album. His freak 2015 hit with Kanye West and Rihanna, "FourFiveSeconds," leveraged him more as a status symbol than a musical contributor; McCartney even admitted that while Kanye was sampling and manipulating his guitar noodlings, "I didn't even realize that I was making songs." Fortunately, despite its flirtations with the sound and substance of today's pop music, Egypt Station is mostly just another Paul McCartney album on the pile — good for a few familiar dopamine squirts but even better as an excuse to parade McCartney through the media and keep him on tour.
No one should take it for granted that McCartney is still going strong more than five decades into his career. His contemporary Paul Simon has a new album out tomorrow too, In The Blue Light, but it's one of those self-cannibalizing late-career projects where an artist reworks their earlier material, an album that can be viewed as a career coda amidst a farewell tour. Lots of his other peers have retired or died off. By comparison, McCartney shows no signs of slowing down. He's still fully engaged with the business of delighting the masses, and as someone who has loaded him up with emotional significance, I remain delighted. Barring the outside possibility that he's immortal, I'm going to weep someday when he dies, so any enjoyment derived from a new album is a bonus. I'll gladly grit my teeth through a few lyrics about septuagenarian Beatle arousal if it means another trip down memory lane.

CHART WATCH
It's another big BTS week on the Billboard charts. With 185,000 equivalent album units and 141,000 in traditional sales, Love Yourself: Answer tops the Billboard 200, becoming the K-pop boy band's second #1 album of the year and second overall following May's Love Yourself: Tear. As Billboard points out, Answer collects 14 songs from Love Yourself: Tear and the previous EP Love Yourself: Her plus 10 brand new tracks. One of the new ones, "Idol" featuring Nicki Minaj, debuts at #11 on the Hot 100 this week, just barely missing the top 10.
Back on the Billboard 200: Travis Scott's Astroworld, Drake's Scorpion, Ariana Grande's Sweetener, Nicki Minaj's Queen, and Post Malone's Beerbongs & Bentleys are at #2 through #6. Ozuna enjoys the year's biggest debut for a Latin album as Aura enters at #7 on 49,000 units/7,000 sales. XXXTentacion's 17 hops back to #8 thanks to a sales surge around the project's one-year anniversary. And rounding out the top 10 are Juice WRLD and Cardi B.
Over on the Hot 100, Drake's "In My Feelings" rules for an eighth straight week, bumping Drake's career total to 47 weeks at #1. Per Billboard, that ties him with Usher for most among male solo acts. (Ahead of them both are Boyz II Men at 50 weeks, the Beatles at 59, Rihanna at 60, and Mariah Carey at 79.) Twenty-seven of Drake's weeks on top have come this year, which means he only needs one more to tie another Usher record with 28 weeks at #1 in a calendar year among all artists, set in 2004 at Usher's Confessions peak.
A pair of Cardi B hits remain at #2 and #3 — the Maroon 5 collab "Girls Like You" and the Bad Bunny/J Balvin summit "I Like It" — while Post Malone's "Better Now" rises to a new #4 peak, bumping 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj's "Fefe" to #5. Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams" is at #6, Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode" (which features an uncredited Drake) is back up to #7, and Tyga and Offset's "Taste" is at #8.
Reaching a new #9 high point comes "Love Lies," a duet by Khalid and Fifth Harmony's Normani. It's Khalid's second top 10 hit and first as a lead artist following his appearance on Logic's "1-800-273-8255." It's the first top 10 visit as a solo artist for Normani, though she went to #4 with Fifth Harmony's "Work From Home." She's the second member of Fifth Harmony to land a solo top 10 single following Camila Cabello, who has three. Ariana Grande's "God Is A Woman" closes out the top 10.
POP FIVE
Silk City & Dua Lipa – "Electricity"
Pop stars sometimes earn some of their biggest hits with one-off tracks between albums — features, soundtrack work, loosies, whatever. Justin Bieber's career has been kept current by this kind of hit for almost three years now. Dua Lipa pulled the same trick with her Calvin Harris collab "One Kiss" earlier this year, and I won't be surprised if this dalliance with Diplo and Mark Ronson lands her in the top 10 again. I have a feeling these aren't the last superstar dance producers who'll be saving their best beats for her deep, commanding voice.
Hozier – "Nina Cried Power" (Feat. Mavis Staples)
The man behind 2014's inescapable "Take Me To Church" is back with a new surprise EP today, and… it's actually not bad? The title track, "Nina Cried Power," still sounds designed to impress Grammy voters and other folks who prize "authentically" "soulful" music, but there are enough compelling ideas there to elevate my estimation of the guy. If Mavis Staples is OK with him, I guess I am too.
Carrie Underwood – "Love Wins"
I applaud Carrie Underwood for attempting to create a sense of empathy and magnanimity among a listener base that significantly overlaps with President Trump's core Evangelical supporters, and the fact that it sounds like you could slot it into a contemporary Christian worship compilation could just be a savvy Trojan horse situation. But since the lyrics are mostly ill-defined can't-we-all-just-get-along babble, I fear her message will be missed, shrugged off, or redefined just like the teachings of that guy she once asked to take the wheel.
Lauv – "Superhero"
The latest from the guy behind that inescapable "I like me better when I'm with you" song is just as treacly insidiously catchy. I look forward to love-hating it for many months to come.
Broods – "Peach"
Five years past its peak, that electro-indie festival-core sound can still work pretty well!

Summer in Palestine
Little Daily Insights
Абсурди
Faces of Palestine
This is an excerpt from a Middle East Eye article I published in the summer reflecting on the social documentary project my dear friend Asala Salhab and I carried out on the West Bank, Palestine in the summer of 2014 🙂
Despite the war in Gaza and the intense military operations carried out recently by Israeli soldiers throughout Hebron; the biggest city on the West Bank celebrated the holy month of Ramadan with fasting – and praying for peace and for change.
In times of great danger and insecurity, people reveal both their most raw and most humane faces. Ramadan, however, is a month dedicated to cherishing the community, the self and its relation to God.
Can religious and cultural traditions work to bring people together, sooth the disadvantaged and inspire good acts and brotherly love, even in times of war, injustice and death?
These questions and more drove my enthusiasm to be among the people in Hebron, in the midst of the happening, instead of hiding, as I entered into the second month of my student internship in Hebron.
When I first went out on the streets of Hebron (or "Khalil" as the Arabic name of the city reads) with a notebook, camera and a local friend in hand, I had no idea that the photos and interviews I would take would spark and exciting new project- and a social movement.
Three days after the discovery of the bodies of the three kidnapped Israeli settlers in Halhul, just outside Hebron, sick of hearing about new clashes, dead and injured, my friend Asala Salhab and I went out after work to take some interviews.
Our task was to examine the pulse of the community, which was suffering through one of its most difficult times. In the beginning of both Ramadan and a new Israeli massacre in Gaza, was there any hope left? How were these contrasting events influencing each other?
Since the first afternoon we started to photograph and interview random passers-by at different locations around Hebron, including The Old City. People responded enthusiastically and we were able to capture the faces, stories and insights of Hebronites, which conveyed their hope, faith and integrity. The same evening, I started the "Khalil's Faces of Ramadan" Facebook group to host the profiles of men and women, young and old. Every photo was accompanied by an English and Arabic translation, and in less than a week, the group received over 1,000 likes; the posts were shared and discussed both online and offline.
As we captured the faces of those who carry on their everyday lives, religious and spiritual practices, despite the dangers and insecurity that Hebron faces, media and community leaders shared their positive feedback about the project.
"This initiative is very important because it allows us to see the diversity of individuals and richness of points of view that we don't often acknowledge otherwise," Anas Sarabta, manager of the Hebron Youth Development Resource Center said.
Haya Abu Shkaidem, a student in Hebron sent a "thank you" message reading, "I really like this page. It reveals the pretty side of Hebron which people all around Palestine and all around the world should see. It is something I could share with my non-Hebronite friends to let them know more about Hebron."
In the days to follow, the project gained momentum and was promoted by word of mouth: "I saw your page and I was hoping I could run into you." Mustafa Abu Sbaih told us smilingly, calling us to visit his shoe stand from across the street.
As we walked through The Old City on a Friday afternoon after one of the major prayers, people were requesting that we take their photos and hear their stories. And, interestingly, they were not all about politics and war. Love, future plans and desire to make a change made some voices tremble with passion.
"We, Palestinians have always paid attention on the need to document our political struggle for freedom. There are many documents, articles and books written on that. But we have done almost nothing to document the social life, the individual, who may not be a martyr or a fighter, but who is still fighting in his own way- and that is not any less interesting." Tareq Tamimi, founder of "Visit Hebron" told us in acknowledgement of the project's impact on the community.
The project will continue beyond the month of Ramadan with the support of locals taking on the enjoyable task of unlocking secrets and capturing fellow Hebronites' faces.

Based on a little known historical event, the Islenos Trappers War occurred in St. Bernard Parish In Southern Louisiana in the winter of 1926. It Began when the indigent Islenos population (original Spanish settlers from the Canary Islands) ran into resistance from a local political bigwig, Leander Perez, then DA of nearby Plaquemines Parish over rights to fertile land that was rich with muskrat, an animal eagerly sought after by Northern fur buyers. What started out as a legal battle in the courtroom soon erupted into a bloody confrontation in the swampy marshes surrounding St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes where the Islenos doled out their brand of "Delta Justice".


I am not usually this extravagant, but I currently use both these foundations, depending on what time of the day it is, and where I am going.
I wanted to post a little review and comparison here, for my own benefit, and for anyone out there who's looking to buy either one of these.
This foundation is pretty pricey, but it provides excellent coverage and disguises my pores pretty well. It picks up light really, really well, so you have to be sure to apply this evenly all over your neck as well, or risk looking a little clownish.
I have tried a few different methods of application with this foundation - a beauty blender, a foundation brush, a kabuki brush, and plain old clean fingers, and surprisingly, it applies pretty evenly no matter what tool I use.
This foundation is really amazing if you love that dewy, fresh-faced look. I can't rave about this enough! The end result is a beautiful dewy, moisturized, healthy glow. The result is really nothing short of amazing.
One gripe I have about this foundation is that it tends to be a little on the dry side, especially around my nose area, so I have to use a primer if I want that perfect dewy look all over.
This foundation comes it quite a large array of shades, and it's pretty easy to match your skin because the colours posted on the website stay pretty true to the actual colours of the foundation. That having been said, I highly recommend trying out shades at your GA counter or purchasing samples first if you're ordering online, because this foundation is not very forgiving on mismatched face shades.
This is my go-to foundation for the daytime because of its spf (even though I apply sunblock underneath my foundation anyway).
The beauty of powder mineral foundations is that it can be built up according to how much coverage you need. I usually only need to buff the foundation over my face about twice, then pick up some of it with my concealer brush and go over problem areas. It covers really well, and doesn't look fake.
This foundation has a more shimmery finish vs. the dewy finish that the GA foundation provides. My skin looks natural and quite matte under natural light, but very slightly shimmery under any other kind of light. This foundation photographs beautifully if you're looking for a subtle shimmery glow.
Getting colour matched on the Bare Escentuals website is quite the experience! The website is quite detailed, so you'll definitely get a suitable foundation. Don't worry about mismatching your shade slightly - this foundation is pretty forgiving and blends into your skin pretty nicely.
On my first try, I purchased a foundation that was a shade too light, but it didn't make a difference at all unless I was using a silicone-based makeup primer, which I did once. The effect wasn't too clownish, but I did look a little white in pictures.
I've taken a couple of pictures to hopefully illustrate the difference in the foundation finishes. The ones with the blue eyeshadow are pictures of the GA foundation.
Photos were not edited, so it's easier to tell the difference. The same bases were used underneath the foundations, and nothing was layered over them.


Choose this Sceptre TV if your top priorities are image quality and affordability, and you don't mind adding an outboard speaker or soundbar to improve the audio.
Practical, spacious 55" model for a decent price. Has 4 HDMI ports for adding ample equipment. Emits a bright, colorful display with crisp contrast and detail.
Not a smart TV. Sound is weak and tinny. Motion refresh isn't the fastest, and will disappoint gamers who like fast action.
If you want a TV with a decent screen size for a low price, this model doesn't have many bells and whistles but has a lot to offer in terms of value.
Basic, affordable, and easy to set up and navigate. 50" screen works well for most rooms without being too small or overpowering. Has updated motion refresh (MEMC 120) that can keep up with games and action-packed movies and sports.
Sound quality is OK but not fabulous. Colors are bright, but the resolution isn't 4K HD. Not smart.
Has a lot of features you'd expect to find in a higher-priced model, although the DVD player left some buyers unimpressed.
Comes with a built-in DVD player. Is VESA wall-mountable. Ports include 1 HDMI, 1 USB, antenna, audio/video, and more. Decent resolution. Affordable. Good picture brightness. Sturdy base. Easy setup.
Speakers are minimal. Some buyers had problems with the DVD player not ejecting DVDs or not reading them. Small screen; not 4K and not smart.
A large HD TV that delivers a brilliant picture. Consider it if you want the luxury of a giant HD TV for a reasonable price.
Ultra high-def 4K display is gorgeous. Four HDMI ports are very convenient. Screen is giant; price is not bad for this large of a screen.
Not a smart TV, and it's pretty "no frills" compared to some 75" offerings from other brands.
Sceptre TVs are available in many different sizes, all at a very desirable price point. The Sceptre brand name is relatively new in the HD and 4K TV market. But this brand is starting to make headway against more established brands with its low prices. Most Sceptre TVs feature LED backlighting technology. This means the picture on the screen is well lit from edge to edge, delivering consistent quality. You'll find Sceptre televisions available in sizes ranging from 19" diagonally to 75". Some smaller Sceptre models have a DVD player built into them, which is convenient. Many Sceptre TVs offer a maximum 4K resolution, which adds to the value of any individual television set.

The first game in the Creatures series.
Creatures, the Game
The original Creatures game was set in Albia and featured Norns, Grendels and much in the way of cheese and carrots. The game was limited by the technology of the time, being restricted to a 256-colour palette (backgrounds available at C2 Back), bamboo architecture and occasional background sounds rather than the music which evolved in latter titles. The development title for Creatures was "Small Furry Creatures" - the game also became known as 'Creatures 1', or more commonly, simply 'C1' after Creatures 2 was (eventually) released.

We Should Protect Our Lights.
This was his last words.
Prithvi was not the one you would expect these words from. He was more kind of a guy who lived his life at fullest but something was wrong with him in recent days. He would wander here and there with a pale look on his face lost into his thoughts. Although I knew him for few days he had become a good friend of mine so I asked him about his behaviour and if there is something wrong but he always said: "it's nothing". He would go away than saying he had some work and our meeting lowered day by day.
