Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan meets the Press… if not the camera
Posted by Douglas Harpel | Jan 29, 2019
Responding to criticism that he had yet to meet with the press since his appointment as acting Secretary of Defense on 1 January, Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan made himself briefly available to media today in the Pentagon's briefing room. (Oddly, video and audio recordings were not permitted for the on-the-record session, where making news seemed to be the last thing Mr. Shananan wanted to do.)
Secretary Shanahan, seated alone behind a table, spoke for about five minutes and then took questions from the standing-room-only crowd for the balance of the not-a-minute-than-30-minute session.
The transcript is available here, but following are a few things that we learned Tuesday from Mr. Shanahan's ever-so-careful responses to media query:
(1) The U.S. military is in the "early stages" of a withdrawal from Syria that is "deliberate, coordinated, and disciplined." Shanahan said that ISIS is largely vanquished in the country and will lose its final bits of territory in Syria to U.S.-backed forces within a couple of weeks. "I'd say 99.5 percent plus of the ISIS-controlled territory has been returned to the Syrians. Within a couple of weeks, it'll be 100 percent."
(2) The F-35 fighter program remains in his crosshairs. When asked if he, characterized by some as biased in favor of Boeing (his former company) and against Lockheed Martin and its F-35 fighter, he said: "I'm biased towards performance. I am biased toward giving taxpayers their money's worth. The F-35 unequivocally, I can say, has a lot of opportunity for more performance."
(3) He gave up nothing about the possible/pending deployment of [5,000] U.S. troops to Colombia to stabilize Venezuela. The acting Secretary said — repeatedly — that he had not discussed the deployment issue with U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton, but would not respond to shouted clarification questions of whether he had discussed such a deployment with others. Asked if he was ruling out troop deployments to Colombia, Shanahan said: "I'm not commenting on it."
(4) He underscored the long-held notion that that the Department of Defense should be non-political. As to whether he is prepared to speak to President Trump about making partisan comments in front of military audiences as he did recently, Shanahan responded, twice: "I am always prepared to give the President feedback."
(5) He said that if President Trump declared a national emergency on the border with Mexico it would not be neither unique nor unprecedented. He said that "thousands" of U.S. troops could be involved in supporting the emergency and he expressed his certainty that the Department of Defense — via U.S. Code Title 10, Section 2808 — has the authority to spend Military Construction funds on efforts to support military objectives, including, prospectively, wall construction.
(6) He is encouraged by ongoing negotiations with the Taliban but urged patience. Said Shanahan: "The coalition forces there and the Afghan National Security Forces have been doing a tremendous job. I would say there is no change to the Four R+S plan: Realign, Reinforce, Regionalize, Reconcile and Sustain. The reconciliation portion of our 4R+S is working now. Now we need to give the diplomats time and space to advance those conversations."
(7) He said has chosen — but won't yet identify — the person who he wants to lead the nascent U.S. Space Command, and says that work is underway on the confirmation process.
(8) His mother sends him a prayer emoji each morning and — like the media and Pentagon watchers — she would like to see him do televised press conferences.

It's always a little unnerving when you notice a puddle of fluid under your car, on the floor of your garage or driveway. Whether it's coolant, power steering fluid, motor oil, or transmission fluid, National Tire Warehouse LLC has you covered and can find and fix the leak – fast! National Tire Warehouse LLC is your source for a quick affordable oil change, transmission fluid check, or auto repair service in Frankfort, NY and surrounding areas.
Why automotive fluid service is important: In order to help your vehicle function effectively, fluids have to be kept full and clean from particles. Each of your fluids should be inspected and changed at normal intervals to prevent them from burning, depleting, or from collecting fragments.
Radiator fluid is bright green and very slippery. It must be checked frequently.
Antifreeze, or coolant, could be pink or green and is hazardous to your pets. Ingesting this fluid creates a significant health danger to mammals. Antifreeze must be checked and filled with every oil change.
Brake fluid is a light yellow and can change to a foggy brown color scheme when mixed with water. You must have this fluid changed every year to ensure brake security.
Power steering fluid has a yellow tint. It can easily be checked and filled with oil changes.
Windshield washer fluid can be any color - from brilliant blue, orange, to pink or yellow. It has the consistency of water and could smell rather pleasant. It needs to be filled regularly.
Motor oil may be brilliant or dark brown depending on how often you change it. Frequently changed motor oil will be light brown, while aged motor oil will be a darker tone. You must have your motor oil changed every 3000-5000 miles.
Gasoline has an amber shade, yet you may recognize its incredibly unique odor. It is highly combustible, so prevent any type of open fires: lighters, matches, or cigarettes.
Remember to schedule your routine oil change, transmission flush, and coolant flushes with National Tire Warehouse LLC to maintain your vehicle at its top performance in Frankfort, NY and surrounding areas. Contact National Tire Warehouse LLC today to book your next fluid check and auto repair service in Frankfort, NY and surrounding areas.

Shocking news for Samsung Galaxy fans. The Company's last release was the Galaxy S10 device and chances are that it will be the last one as Samsung might change de naming pattern and line-up.
It is not the first time Samsung changes its game. On August 24, 2011, the S naming convention started, S standing for Super Smart, as well as the R, W, M, and Y official device naming. So it comes as no surprise if the company decides to introduce a new label for its devices. The letter R stands for Royal and the devices from this category have premium power, design and productivity. The letter W means Wonder and is characterized for high-end phones. The M and Y stand for Magical and Young and is for the most affordable and good quality category of devices.
In South Korea and in the European Union, Samsung already took the Samsung Galaxy A8 will not be the last release for this product.
However there will not be for sure a Galaxy S11 but instead, the company will release Galaxy S20 followed by a Galaxy S30, and so on. The last version Galaxy S9 and the next generation Galaxy Note 9 will be the last models designated by a single digit.
There is a rumor saying that Samsung might just simplify the names of their devices such as Samsung A30, Samsung S40 and so on but this means that they will have to get rid of the Galaxy brand and it is pretty impossible.
It is fair to say that the Galaxy S9 was not selling to good and next year the foldable Galaxy X devices will be released. This means more money spent for production, marketing and so on. So it is understandable why the Galaxy S devices will be pulled out the market or why at least change the name.


Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday reiterated his commitment to working for the peace and unity of the country.
He made the pledge during a courtesy call on Governor Darius Ishaku of Taraba State yesterday in Jalingo, the state capital.
Obasanjo said keeping Nigeria as a single entity was a task which must be taken with seriousness and by all Nigerians.
"If things work very well in this country it will be for the good of everyone of us and if things went (sic) wrong we would all be victims", the ex-president, who was in the state for a four-day private visit, said.
In his address, Gov. Ishaku said when he assumed office there were conflicts of a different dimension in the state but such problems were addressed.

Delectable dining and unrivalled warmth on-board Norwegian Pearl
by Sara Macefield - 11 Jul 2017
There is no mistaking Norwegian Pearl; the wild and wacky artwork on her hull isn't only hard to miss, but reflects the lively, fun feel you will find on-board. The atmosphere is all very exuberant American, but not as in your face as some lines – and there are places to escape to if the deck dancing and sexy leg contests get too much!
Accommodating nearly 2,400 passengers, she is a decent size – not so big that you spend hours walking from one end to the other, yet large enough to command an impressive line-up of dining spots, a smattering of good bars and a decent-size theatre. Having launched in 2006 as one of NCL's Jewel-class ships, Pearl has since been revamped (most recently in early 2017), but still feels a little dated in parts compared with NCL's newest launches, and lacks the whizz-bang features of her larger sisters. But it isn't a big deal, as Pearl polishes up well thanks to the homely feel-good factor that gives an added sheen to this very likeable ship.
You won't be stuck for choice. Not only are there enough dining spots on Pearl to ensure you can eat somewhere different every evening on a 12-night voyage, but standards are high across the board.
I loved Teppanyaki, where boisterous chefs add singing and showmanship to their culinary skills by juggling knives and eggs as they cook up an oriental feast. Meat-lovers get a taste of Brazil at Moderno Churrascaria where 'gaucho' waiters carve succulent cuts from skewers at the tableside, while delicious pasta and pizza are served in the Italian trattoria La Cucina. And there are more speciality restaurants – though they all carry an extra charge or have a la carte priced menus. It is all well and good, but what also impressed me was the standard and range of complementary dining spots.
The Lotus Garden
The choice in the buffet Garden Cafe easily rivals larger facilities on other ships, with mouth-watering stir-fries and curries, while the two main restaurants – Indigo and Summer Palace – offer a contrasting feel that is a cut above. Lotus Garden is a welcome Asian experience that feels more like a speciality restaurant, even though it isn't, while O'Sheehan's, with its fish and chips and shepherd's pie supper-type menus, serves up good old no-nonsense British pub grub.
Cabins are a reasonable size, as are the balconies, and family cabins – with a sofa-bed and bunk that drops down from the ceiling – can accommodate two adults and two children, though it's all rather snug and there is barely enough wardrobe space for four lots of outfits! However, the tightest squeeze was in the en-suite (especially the tiny partitioned-off loo!), which I felt was the most dated part of the ship, though the power shower was decent. But there was everything else you would expect; from in-room safe to flat-screen TV and huge double bed.
Those with cash to splash can opt for The Haven: the private deck area with its collection of VIP suites, swimming pool, sundeck and other benefits – a welcome retreat from the masses, especially on busy sea days.
From scaling the climbing wall up the side of the funnel and shooting hoops in the basketball court, to pumping iron in the gym or perfecting your swing in the golf driving nets, there is plenty for active sorts. The two adjacent swimming pools with accompanying hot tubs are a good size and the hub of the deck action, but as they are the only ones on the ship, there is no quiet pool to retreat to.
Pamper fans will like the Mandara Spa, where if you are feeling rich you can indulge in a 24 Karat Gold Facial for a cool $325 (£250)! Youngsters aren't forgotten either, with a daily programme of activities in the kids and teen clubs. The pace ramps up in the evenings with acts in the Stardust Theatre that included breath-taking acrobatic acts, likeable music and dance productions and a line-up of comedians – some more amusing than others!
Bliss Ultra Lounge & Nightclub
Of the string of bars, the pick of them was Shakers Martini and Cocktail bar, while night owls gravitated to the Bliss Ultra Lounge & Nightclub with its crushed velvet surroundings and sultry feel.
What I loved
Not having to worry about paying for drinks (under $15) or gratuities as since April 2017, NCL now includes them in the price.
Breakfasts al fresco at The Great Outdoors dining area right at the ships aft overlooking the wake. It was great for open-air lunching, too, and afternoon coffees!
The friendly and amusing crew, particularly the guitar-playing duo at the Garden Cafe who livened up hand sanitising with their adapted classics: "Spray me, spray you", "I wanna wash your hands" and "We will, we will, wash you". Brilliant!
On returning to the ship from time ashore, the cold flannels and chilled drinks dispensed on the dockside, complete with seating area. A nice touch.
The most cost-effective way to sample Pearl's speciality restaurants is to buy a dining package, starting at $69 for three meals. Not only does it work out cheaper, but if you combine this with four complimentary options, you would never have to eat at the same place twice on a one-week voyage.
Make sure you book speciality dining in advance or on the day you embark.

Food trend: gold Italian ice-cream
par Jade Simon, translated by Stephanie Green 13 août 2018
The latest New-York food fad has been given a Midas touch.
Matcha N'More has built itself a strong reputation in the Big Apple with its recipes that pay homage to matcha, a green tea that originates from Uji, Japan. Its best-sellers were once its lattes and cookies, but now they're offering an ultra-luxurious matcha ice-cream, covered in 24-carat gold. Choose from matcha, lychee, chocolate, and many more.

This library allows you to load, edit and execute reports in run-time. Also library contains a report designer component. At run-time it has own advanced Delphi-like properties inspector and component palette. Designer allows user to add any Delphi design packages and use the components contained in it in report designing. So designer built in your application allow you to design reports as easy as you designing the form in Delphi. Yes! You can design forms just in your application, to make some kind of report parameters form. You can drop database components like TQuery or TADODataSet on report, build queries with parameters and make form asking for their values using TDBParamBox, TDBParamPicker or TDBSmartParamBox.


Trying to quantify corruption and data loss in my ECM. Did a query in SQL to get the number of items that are SUPPOSED to be there. Query returned 25 million lines. Saved as csv becomes almost 8 GB. I think there are multiple lines per file.
I want to run PowerShell against the csv and get a new csv with only unique values. Plan to then use that csv with PowerShell (Test-Path ) to get a list of what is/isn't there so I can try to remediate.
I have tried gc large.csv | get-unique > new.csv – I ended up with an 11 GB csv.
As you can imagine, it is using huge amounts of time and huge amounts of RAM. What am I doing wrong? How can I do this more efficiently?
This way, the .NET framework (compiled C# code) is doing all of the heavy lifting, and you're also not having to store the whole file in memory, since this is all being done with IEnumerable.
Bruce, I think to increase efficiency you should use SELECT DISTINCT in SQL or SSIS instead doing the heavy work outside. The SQL engine is much more efficient.
Is there a way I can read records out of the csv to do a check-path on the record and write a $false (if missing) to another csv without having to load 5 GB of data into memory?
1) Use SQL to get unique rows, not Powershell. The functionality is built into the T-SQL syntax.
2) Use Powershell to query the database directly, without storing the data in an interim CSV file. This way Powershell can process the results row by row without wasting both diskspace and memory.
Can you explain the whole scenario and what you are trying to do? You have data in a database and it sounds like a lot of data. SQL has an engine meant to work with millions of records and perform advanced queries, but Powershell isn't the best place to work with millions of records. If you explain what you are trying to do with the data and the end goal, we'll be able to tell you the options to make it work as efficiently as possible.
Here is what I am trying to do. My document management system experienced some severe problems. The NAS that copy 2 was on died. That was when we found data corruption in copy 1. I need to figure out what is missing as I try to recover. The database for the system is MS SQL 2005. I queried the db to get a list of what it THINKS is there (getting doc handle and filepath as part of the query). That is the source of the huge csv.
What I want to do is take the list of what the db thinks exists and use PowerShell to check-path each item and then write if the file is missing to another csv so I can find what is missing and work to get my system trustworthy again.
Now I want to read the csv (if possible) without loading it entirely into memory and do a "for each" to test each file.
Does that clarify the situation? Is there a better way?
I'd argue that it may be better if you adjust your SQL query to create a new database, and keep the data in SQL. Get it to add another (blank) column though.
(1) Skip PowerShell completely, and create a stored procedure / function via VB/C# that carries out the checks, returning a true/false based on the result, and write a new SQL query using the SP/Function. It's a fairly straightforward process to be honest.
(2) Create a PowerShell script which executes performs a retrieval of a specified number of rows at a time (via SQL's ROW_NUMBER), and checks for the files existence. If it exists, update the table column to indicate a true or false for if the file exists. You could run this as a job in SQL so you can leave it churning away. You might also be able to write your code as a workflow and use parallel execution to speed it up.
I'm not a SQL guru by any manner or means, but i'd go for option 1 if speed is of the essence.
Why not just use xcopy? If you have two directories and you just want to compare one with the other and copy missing files, I don't see the need to even involve or use SQL if you just need to compare file structures.

Juul lawsuit reignites conversation on teens vaping
Emma DesLauriers-Knop
On February 12, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey joined the fight against the vape epidemic as she filed a lawsuit against the e-cigarette company, Juul. She claims that Juul has specifically marketed their product towards underage youth, essentially getting them hooked on nicotine while still underage. Healey and her home state of Massachusetts is not alone in this suit. California, New York and Illinois all filed similar suits at the end of 2019, bringing misgivings about Juul into the limelight.
At its origin, Juul, created by two former smokers named Adam Bowen and James Monsees, was designed in order to help smokers quit cigarettes. When they determined that there was no "true alternative" to cigarettes, they switched to the next best thing: electronic cigarettes that produced similar amounts of vaporized nicotine without the extensive list of toxic ingredients in cigarettes. Introduced on the market in 2015, Juul was an instant success. It quickly became the most used brand of e-cigarette in America due to its sleek features and various flavors—the most popular of which, according to smokeshop owner Erik Pye, are mango and mint.
Another reason why Juul gained so much traction is its appeal to the younger generation. Many wonder why this is the case. The key to Healey's lawsuit and many others like it, is that Juul's advertisements featured young models and recruited social media influencers to promote their product. Many argue that those included in these promotions looked much too young. The implication of this would be a message to people everywhere that this product was for everyone, especially the young who wanted to be trendy by mimicking the practices of their favorite influencer. In a court hearing, Healey pointed out photos of the "Vaporized Campaign"––photos used for the launch of Juul back in 2015––featured brightly colored images of young models posing with their Juul. She argued that they sent the wrong message, saying, "Look at the people who are using these products. See, this isn't about getting adults to stop smoking cigarettes, it's about getting young people to start vaping." Instead of providing a product that would help smokers quit cigarettes, Juul was creating an opening for more of them.
Another key feature of Healey's lawsuit is that the company bought advertising space on countless websites aimed at teens and kids, including Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, neither of which appeal to Juul's stated target demographic. More allegations were made that Juul went so far as to advise underage customers on ways to get around age restrictions for buying their product. "Over and over we've heard Juul say that it came to market to offer a device that was an alternative to cigarettes, and in fact would even help adults switch and stop smoking… our investigation showed that that was not true," Healy said of the brand in light of all evidence brought forward.
All of this comes after the Trump administration announced at the beginning of the year that it would ban the sale of all flavors of vape products other than tobacco and menthol, a move that explicitly targeted younger consumers of vape products. Many are calling this action too little too late. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that from 2011 to 2019, the amount of middle schoolers who had used e-cigarettes within the last thirty days jumped from 0.6 percent to 10.5 percent. The statistics for high schoolers are even more drastic with an increase from 1.5 percent to 27.5 percent in those eight years. Needless to say, young people have already gotten hooked on vaping. A simple ban on the tropical flavors that made Juul popular won't cause a dramatic reversal of a new teen culture and possible addictions that have been in the making for years. Healey's lawsuit is another reminder that the younger generation is a product of what it is immersed in. Vaping poses serious consequences, and whether we care to admit it, companies like Juul are profiting from getting young consumers hooked on their product, the effects of which are not all known.We need to pay attention to what is being commercialized among the demographic and call out companies like Juul that are capitalizing on unhealthy trends that have made their way into mainstream teenage culture. Those with the power to affect real change need to ensure that young consumers aren't caught in marketing ploys for the very sake of following a trend.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what contingency plans the Government is making for quarantine procedures for people entering the UK from countries where the Ebola virus is present in the event of a further spread of that virus.
York Outer
Julian Sturdy

In addition to departure screening in affected countries, entry screening has been introduced for people travelling to the United Kingdom from Ebola infected areas. This also provides them with clear advice about immediate actions should they develop any relevant symptoms.

There are already public health powers in place to enable the quarantining of an individual suffering from the symptoms of Ebola should they be needed.

The Government keeps the threat posed to the UK by the spread of Ebola virus disease, and the measures required to tackle it, under regular review.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of charging for NHS services required because of injuries caused by alcohol or drug misuse.

We recognise that drinking alcohol and drug use does place significant strain on the National Health Service, but there are both ethical and practical reasons not to seek payment from patients. The founding principle of the NHS is that services are free of charge, available to all on the basis of need, not ability to pay. It is funded accordingly, from general taxation.

Drugs: Scotland
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness and merits of (a) the recently announced New Medicines Fund in Scotland and (b) other funding models aimed at driving improved patient access to innovative medicines in the context of the payments made by the pharmaceutical industry under the current Pharmaceutical Pricing Regulation Scheme.

The New Medicines Fund in Scotland is a matter for the Scottish Government and it would not be appropriate for the Government to comment on its effectiveness or merits.

In England, in accordance with normal government accounting rules and the agreed 2014 Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme (PPRS), there is no separately identified or ring-fenced funding stream associated with PPRS payments. Nevertheless, the Government can provide an assurance that all PPRS payments received for England will be used for spending on improving patients' health and care. As part of this, NHS England and the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry are pressing ahead with plans to improve access to and optimise the use of medicines to improve patient outcomes.

Korean Movie Review : Parasite –– Another Masterpiece By Bong Joon-ho
Bong Joon-ho presents us with another masterpiece, Parasite.
Jobless, penniless, and, above all, hopeless, the unmotivated patriarch, Ki-taek, and his equally unambitious family–his supportive wife, Chung-sook; his cynical twentysomething daughter, Ki-jung, and his college-age son, Ki-woo–occupy themselves by working for peanuts in their squalid basement-level apartment. Then, by sheer luck, a lucrative business proposition will pave the way for an insidiously subtle scheme, as Ki-woo summons up the courage to pose as an English tutor for the teenage daughter of the affluent Park family. Now, the stage seems set for an unceasing winner-take-all class war. How does one get rid of a parasite?
https://literaturesandmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Parasite-Official-Trailer-–-In-Theaters-October-11-2019.mp4
A Sneak Peek into "Parasite"
The family of four that consists of the father Kim Ki-taek, his wife Choong-sook, and their two children Ki-woo and Ki-jeong has been living in a dirty poor part of South Korea for as long as they could remember. In that shabby semi-basement apartment, the family struggles to survive. Working low-paying gigs like folding pizza boxes, even then they were critiqued by how badly the pizza boxes were folded and nearly lost their only income.
It was not long after then that Ki-woo's friend Min-hyuk visits the family and brought food as well asa gave them a large rock as a gift. As Ki-woo and Min-hyuk went out for their last drink together before Min-hyuk has to leave to study abroad, he explained that the rock would bring luck, wealth and prosperity.
Alongside that, Min-hyuk also suggested for Ki-woo to take over his job as an English tutor for the wealthy Park family. At first after hearing that offer, Ki-woo felt that he wouldn't be qualified to tutor English, especially for a family as wealthy as the Park's. However after some more coaxing from Min-hyuk, Ki-woo decided to give it a try.
In the lavish state of art Park mansion, Ki-woo was hired by Mrs. Park to tutor her daughter Da-hye after giving her a free trial lesson. While Mrs. Park was showing Ki-woo around the mansion, he learnt that she was struggling to find an art teacher for her younger child, Da-song. It was right at that moment where an idea struck Ki-woo, and he suggested a "professional" named Jessica, who in reality is his sister Ki-jeong.
Gifted with a sharp mind, Ki-woo's sister Ki-jeong quickly jumped onto the opportunity and presented herself as a quirky and eccentric art teacher to the Park family. She played her part as a "professional" art teacher so well, she even unknowingly pinned down the –– according to Mrs. Park –– trauma behind Da-song's painting that shaped Da-song into the weird kid that he was.
Once Ki-jeong was hired, the Kim family's plan was put into motion. She singlehandedly schemed and strategized ways to get Mr. Park's driver fired and replaced him "Uncle Kim", who was her father. Not long after, she too got the housekeeper Moon-kwang fired, with Chong-sok hired in her place, employing the entire Kim family.
And just what exactly is the Kim family's plan after this?
3 Words to Sum Up Parasite :
Enticing, Eye Opening, Captivating
Regarding anything bookish and filmy, 2019 has been a quite mellow and quiet year for me. For some reason that I couldn't fathom, I have not been motivated and didn't have the attention span to pay attention to a movie without pausing several times or even finishing a book within a week's time.
So it is quite an understatement to say that "Parasite" has singlehandedly lit that fire back up in me. As not long after I finish that movie by Bong Joon-ho, my hands are itching to pick up my kindle and start reading, as my mind are dying to be stimulated. For a movie –– something that is only 2 hours long –– to have this effect on me, is mind boggling to say the least. Just what exactly is it about Parasite that could have this kind of lasting impact not only on me, but on many of its viewers as well?
Just by watching the trailer alone, one would have absolute zero idea as to what Parasite by Bong Joon-ho was about. Was it comedy, thriller, sob story, or all three in one?
It started off with the Kim family living in their semi-basement apartment, and scraping for food to get by. However, situation quickly changes once the whole family was under the employment of the wealthy Park family. Now that the family have good paying and cushy jobs, questions started popping into the viewers' minds. Is this enough? Is just "technically living" with the Parks enough for them? Sure, at first, the Kim family had to struggle to even put food on the table, but it sure is not the case anymore now.
Not to mention, the Kim family quite literally run the mansion. If say, they want to plan a sudden mass murder on the entire Park family and hide them under that bunker of a basement that most wealthy families have and live off their live in that gorgeous mansion, who says they can't do so?
Class Difference Between the Poor and the Wealthy
One thing that is shown in a very stark comparison is the class difference between the poor and the wealthy. While some of it are metaphorical, a lot of it are obvious as well.
There have been a handful of times in the movie, where Mr. Park would complain about "Uncle Kim's" smell. Saying that he smelled like an undried clothes, and that his odor was so strong that it even permeated through the driver's seat and into the backseat. This is to say that, the rich are mostly oblivious to the struggles and sufferings of the poor. Thanks to their comfortable lifestyle and them constantly striving for bigger and better things, the difficulties of the poor was not taken into consideration at all.
That was just one of the many examples of the class difference between the two. Despite that however, Bong Joon-ho seems to know how to craft the storyline just so, that the viewers cannot truly blame the rich either. Sure, it is heartbreaking to see how so many people out there in the world fight against poverty, but that problem is not to blame on the rich.
Simply because a lot of them (the rich), are not deliberately trying to be mean or cruel. They are just simply ignorant to those who are way less fortunate than them as they go about their lives and planning for bigger and better future.
The Park Family
The Park family I might say, is an apt representation of the rich and wealthy. Sure, in a movie one would expect there to be a protagonist and antagonist. And of course, most of the time, protagonist would surely be the minority or the less powerful. While that case holds true in Parasite with the poor Kim family, I wouldn't count the Parks as antagonists.
Simply, they didn't come to attain whatever wealth it is that they do without hard work and sacrifices. The Parks live in a bubble of monetary security and comfort, and like almost always calls to like. So with their lifestyle, it is only logical to see them also being friends and hanging out with other wealthy people as well and basing their networks and future reference from there.
Sure, they might seem very ignorant to the people outside of their bubble's pain and struggles, but quite honestly, that is a lot of us as well. Even the middle class people have their own bubble and ignore a lot of the rest. The poor have the tendency to blame to rich on their struggles and poverty, and while it might be true to some extent, I don't think the rich should take all the burn for it. However, we all know there is no right or wrong to this answer as its all opinion based. In the end, it's all perspective.
Odd Atmosphere Surrounding Parasite
I don't know if this is just me, but there is just an overall weird atmosphere throughout the movie. Mostly from the Park family itself, who could have just been an eccentric family for all I know. And also from the Kim Ki-taek, the father of the Kim family who looks like he could murder someone without batting an eye.
Not only that, the way certain scenes were shot and how the soundtracks flowed in to further enhance the odd yet hypnotizing vibe of the whole movie –– whether or not if it was intentional –– was something that I need to give Bong Joon-ho props for, among many other things.
A very interesting, thought provoking movie. Truly, I have never watched anything like this before in my life, and Bong Joon-ho totally nailed it to the t. Cinematography, plot, characters, soundtracks, everything was magnificent.
The message that he wanted to convey on the difference between the one flirting with poverty and the one living comfortably, was done very subtly in a lighthearted way while at the same time having a lasting effect on its viewers. Things such as : if they were poor, can't they just work harder? is a question that have probably passed our minds while watching this movie.
However it was shown that life just isn't as black and white as everyone thought it to be. So many things are lurking, living and breathing in the grey areas. Sure, there might be plans in place, and then there are also things that we do to make sure that those plans succeed, however life doesn't really go in a straight line. With that said, the answer to that question could very simply be famous saying that most of us would have heard : "It is not what you know, but who you know".
"You know what kind of plan that never fails? No plan. No plan at all.
You know why? Because life cannot be planned."

Once my machine was up and running, I did some plotting and was really happy with it. So, I moved the MPCNC to a real table, got a spoilboard mounted, and used my plotting files to engrave. Those aren't very interesting (so I'm not attaching them) and I'm pretty proficient at modeling so I found a design I liked on Google images and thought it would make a good sign. I used Inkscape to get a rough DXF file for it, then ended up just using it as a template as I completely remade a new DXF in Fusion 360. CAM programming was done in F360 as well.
Honestly, it was a great starter project: I surfaced my stock, used the engraving function, made pockets, and cut the whole thing out. I got to work through a few kinks and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
My next project is a little more ambitious. I'm going to attempt to do some 3d contouring… if it works out the way I want it to, I'll be super happy about it.
Thanks for those who helped me through the power supply snafu earlier. This seems to be a great community.
For a first project I think you did great! Jeez, you learned all of the techniques in one go. 3D is easy, the only tricky stuff is flipping and the hardest part of that is flipping it the right direction.
From here on out smooth sailing, thanks for sharing.
I always christen my machines with a UK logo too!
I finished my first 3D cut and it turned out pretty darn good. I made some programming snafu's, but, all in all, not bad for my first try!
Im gonna fill it with wood filler in the spots I messed up and then sand/paint it. This is been quite an adventure.
That is very slick. I like the way the layers really show the "topography".
Yeah, I just finished putting some wood filler over the spots where I dove the bit into the piece… a little sanding and some painting and it should be good as new!
Wow. That came out really good! Well done!
The only thing that's still bothering me now is that the whole thing isn't centered in the "frame". When I set zero, I set it off to the side of the piece, so I'm almost exactly 1/4″ off center to the left. Nothing a quick measure/cut wouldn't fix.
Oh and I made sure to make the white really thin so you can still see the wood grain/layering!
Too cool. I added the raw one to the gallery, so the layers were really obvious cnc work.
Imperfections give it character. I can change it if you want, I just hope some will follow the link and see all of the work you did on it.
I was being sarcastic, sorry! Thanks for putting it up.

Third Libel Law Defeat for "Badass Lawyer" Todd Levitt
It's a fine line between being a "badass" and ....
Eugene Volokh | 1.12.2018 8:16 AM
Longtime readers of this blog may recall Todd Levitt, the self-described "Badass Lawyer" from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Levitt promoted himself this way to students at Central Michigan University, where he also taught a class; his persona unsurprisingly led to some pushback, including a parody Twitter feed by CMU student Zachery Felton called "Todd Levitt 2.0." Levitt then sued Felton for libel, losing at trial and then again on appeal; the courts accepted Felton's parody defense. (My students and I filed an amicus brief supporting Felton.)
A local newspaper then faulted Levitt for creating a "College Lawyer of the Year" prize, which his hand-picked selection committee promptly awarded to him; Levitt claimed the newspaper libeled him by mischaracterizing the matter in some measure, and this time the trial court let the case go forward. But Levitt lost on appeal, because the appellate court concluded that the headline was substantially accurate:
In this case, although it is technically true that plaintiff did not "admit" that the College Lawyer of the Year award was "fake" or admit in a court document that he "awarded" the "'top college lawyer' recognition … to himself," we conclude that these inaccuracies do not alter the complexion of the affair and would have no different effect on the mind of the reader than would the literal truth. The facts of this case demonstrate that plaintiff admitted that he commissioned the topcollegelawyers.com website and created the College Lawyer of the Year award to generate profits. He further conceded that he established the criteria for the award, chose the persons who comprised the committee that selected the award recipient, won the award, and then broadcast this as an accomplishment on a marketing website. Although the article contained slight inaccuracies, we conclude that the sting of the article's headline would not have a different effect on a reader than the literal truth.
Then Levitt sued Gordon Bloem -- one of Zachery Felton's lawyers in the earlier case -- and Felton's parents and others for yet another set of supposedly defamatory (and otherwise tortious) statements. Tuesday, Levitt lost yet again, in trial court. The court concluded that some of the supposedly defamatory statements were largely accurate, and others weren't actionable for various other reasons. No word yet on whether there is another appeal in the cards, but here's an excerpt from the trial court decision (Levitt v. Bloem):
In 2014, Zachery Felton created a parody Twitter account called "Todd Levitt 2.0." As a result, plaintiff sued Zachery Felton, who was represented in that lawsuit by Gordon Bloem. Said lawsuit was dismissed by this court after a finding that the parody account was protected free speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Court of Appeals upheld this court's dismissal.
Soon after plaintiff filed the lawsuit against Zachery Felton, in June 2014, there was an incident outside plaintiff's CMU campus law office. Defendants James Felton and Kenneth Sanney walked past plaintiff and a verbal altercation occurred. Defendants allege that, as they walked past plaintiff, plaintiff took a few steps toward them, began glaring at them, and leaned toward them in a threatening way. Mr. Sanney muttered under his breath, "What a clown." Plaintiff then began shouting obscenities at Mr. Felton and Mr. Sanney. A few minutes into the exchange, Mr. Felton began recording the incident with his phone.
Defendants subsequently made a police report and gave a copy of the audio recording to Officer Browne with the Mt. Pleasant City Police Department. Mr. Felton also gave a copy of the recording to his wife, defendant Angela Felton, as well as others who approached him and asked for a copy. Mr. Felton estimates that he gave the recording to about 10 to 12 people. Mr. Sanney also got a copy of the audio recording that he then gave to an employee at CMU. On June II, 20I4, a copy of the audio recording was posted to the website SoundCloud and a link to the SoundCloud file was posted on the website Reddit. When Mr. Sanney and Mr. Felton became aware of these postings, Mr. Sanney contacted both websites and informed then that James Felton, the owner of the audio file, did not consent to the audio file being shared online. Both websites removed it. The defendants deny editing the audio recording or posting the audio recording online, and defendants further deny having any knowledge of who did post the audio recording.
Defendant Angela Felton denies distributing the audio recording in any way. Ms. Felton admits to going to the police with concerns for the safety of her son, Zachery Felton, after Mr. Levitt directed tweets at Zachery that Ms. Felton believed were threatening. Ms. Felton was afraid that someone would act on these allegedly threatening tweets and cause harm to her son. Ms. Felton provided law enforcement with copies of Mr. Levitt's tweets, as well as a copy of a Google search of how many parody Twitter accounts are in existence and a few copies of other parody accounts. However, Ms. Felton was concerned that she was not being taken seriously by law enforcement, and so she also provided a copy of these documents to the campus newspaper CM Life.
The Morning Sun published an article on February 19, 2015 about this court's dismissal of plaintiff's claims against Zachery Felton. Defendant Gordon Bloem, who had represented Zachery Felton in that matter, is quoted as saying, "We are glad to see the judge found what we knew all along, that this is protected free speech." The article further stated:
Bloem said Felton's legal team will be talking to their client and discussing next steps. Bloem said they feel some of the media techniques Levitt has used to market himself, including creating a top lawyer prize he then awarded to himself, are unethical according to the guidelines that govern the legal profession. It's possible they may pursue those issues with the attorney grievance committee.
Plaintiff alleges claims of libel and slander, false light, civil conspiracy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress against defendants Bloem, Sanney, James Felton, and Angela Felton….
[In the earlier Levitt v. Felton case, t]his court found that Zachery Felton's parody Twitter account was protected free speech, and this finding was affirmed by the Michigan Court of Appeals. Therefore, defendant's statement, "We are glad to see the judge found what we knew all along, that this is protected free speech," is clearly not defamatory because it is true.
The article also stated that Mr. Bloem had a concern that some of Mr. Levitt's media techniques may be unethical and was considering pursuing this with the Attorney Grievance Commission. The article stated that Mr. Bloem's concerns stemmed from Levitt's creation of a top lawyer prize he then awarded to himself. Plaintiff's previous claims against the Morning Sun Defendants in this case were based upon this February 19, 2015 article. The Michigan Court of Appeals found that … [the article's claim] was substantially true. Subsequently, as he stated to the Morning Sun, Mr. Bloem did file a grievance against Mr. Levitt with the Attorney Grievance Commission.
Because all of Mr. Bloem's statements reported in the February 19, 2015 Morning Sun article are true, these statements are not defamatory….
Plaintiff alleges that Mr. Bloem publicized a claim from a CMU student that Mr. Levitt was giving out extra credit to his students who followed him on Twitter without knowing whether it was true. In his deposition, Mr. Bloem testified that a student complained to him about Mr. Levitt's extra credit practices. In 2013, in the hallways of the courthouse, Mr. Bloem was conversing with prosecuting attorney Stuart Black and attorney William Shirley about the "allegation that had been made." Mr. Bloem testified that he did not know whether the allegation was true, and that he was seeking to find out the truth when he asked Mr. Levitt about the allegation at the same time he was discussing it with the other attorneys…. Because this allegation was not made as a factual statement, it is privileged.
Plaintiff also alleges that Mr. Bloem reported to Mr. Felton that plaintiff did not keep his students in class long enough based solely on a comment from William Shirley without verification as to its truth. However, the cited lines from Mr. Bloem's deposition transcript … do not show that Mr. Bloem repeated this claim to anyone other than Mr. Levitt himself. Mr. Bloem testified,… There is no evidence that this statement was communicated to a third party, which is one of the elements plaintiff must prove in an action for defamation.
Plaintiff also alleges that Mr. Bloem told Mr. Felton that plaintiff gave extra credit to his students to follow him on Twitter and agreed to cancel class if he got a certain number of followers on Twitter. Plaintiff attached an email from Mr. Bloem to Mr. Felton listing these two allegations as "rumors" that Mr. Bloem was "in the process of trying to confirm." Again, … [t]he email to Mr. Felton cannot be reasonably interpreted as stating actual facts about the plaintiff because Mr. Bloem clearly indicated that he did not know whether these allegations were true and that he was in the process of trying to confirm them. Therefore, the statements in the email are privileged.
Plaintiff also alleges that Mr. Bloem responded to Mr. Sanney being "fine with the prosecutor just dropping everything" about the audiotaped incident with Mr. Levitt in an email by stating, "Yea, but I am not dammit …" … However, this is a statement about Mr . Bloem's feelings about a case being dropped. This is not a false and defamatory statement concerning plaintiff.
Plaintiff also alleges that Mr. Bloem gave out copies of the audio recording of the incident between Mr. Felton, Mr. Sanney, and Mr. Levitt. Mr. Bloem testified that he gave copies to "some people" because "people were curious."
The audio recording features plaintiff speaking and shouting obscenities at Mr. Felton and Mr. Sanney. Plaintiff alleges that the recording was edited, but has failed to provide any documentary evidence in support of this claim. Further, plaintiff has failed to provide any documentary evidence showing anything false or defamatory about this recording. In fact, when asked at his deposition, Mr. Levitt himself could not explain why the audio was defamatory, stating, "I can't answer that right now. I don't know. I have to think about that for a minute." Because the audio was a recording of plaintiff speaking, it is not false or defamatory, and so Mr. Bloem's distribution of the recording cannot be defamatory….
Finally, plaintiff alleges that it was defamatory when Mr. Bloem provided the Attorney Grievance Commission with a copy of a YouTube video of a skit plaintiff participated in. It is unclear what the nature of this skit is. However, plaintiff admits that he participated in the skit, which was publicly available on YouTube. It is unclear how distributing a publicly available video of a skit in which plaintiff participated could be construed as false or defamatory….
Plaintiff has also brought a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress against Mr. Bloem. In order to maintain an action for intentional infliction of emotional distress, a plaintiff must show the following elements: (1) extreme and outrageous conduct, (2) intent or recklessness by the defendant , (3) causation, and (4) severe emotional distress…. The allegedly extreme and outrageous conduct on the part of Mr. Bloem is the same conduct that plaintiff alleged was defamatory in Count I. However, this court found that Mr. Bloem's statements and the distribution of the audio recording of Mr. Levitt were not actionable as libel and slander. Mr. Bloem made several statements about Mr. Levitt that were not defamatory, were not published to third parties, or were protected by the First Amendment. Such conduct does not satisfy the extreme standard set forth by the Michigan Court of Appeals….
Plaintiff also brought a claim of false light against Mr. Bloem. In order to maintain an action for false light, a plaintiff must show that the defendant broadcast to the public in general , or to a large number of people, information that was unreasonable and highly objectionable by attributing to the plaintiff characteristics, conduct, or beliefs that were false and placed the plaintiff in a false position. The only statements made by Mr. Bloem that were broadcast to either the public in general or a large number of people were his statements which were included in the February 19, 2015 Morning Sun article. As held by the Michigan Court of Appeals, this article was substantially true. Therefore, Mr. Bloem's statements did not attribute to Mr. Levitt characteristics, conduct, or beliefs that were false or place Mr. Levitt in a false position…..
Plaintiff claims that Mr. Sanney and Mr. Felton interfered with his business by distributing the audio recording of the altercation that occurred between the three of them during which plaintiff shouted obscenities at the defendants…. When the conduct allegedly causing business interference is a defendant's utterance of negative statements concerning a plaintiff, privileged speech is a defense….

And then I discovered, through a Facebook ad no less, Book of the Month. Originally founded in 1926, the once-upon-a-time mail order subscription service started by a copywriter and a publisher has been modernized and rebranded for the internet age, and includes monthly selections chosen by a panel of judges (other writers, a celebrity guest-judge). Five new choices are released the 1st of every month (today!) and you get a few days to make your selection before the (branded, of course) hardcover of your choice is mailed directly to your door. You can add an additional book for an extra fee, and the subscription length runs either one, three, or 12 months. If none of the titles in a particular month float your boat, you can skip that month.
Even though this is right up my alley, I wouldn't necessarily have signed up for Book of the Month unless I'd found a coupon code (I literally buy nothing full-price). A three-month subscription is $14.99/mo, but if you use the code READ50 you can save 50%, making it about $7.50 per book. Not a bad deal! I chose my first book this morning; when you sign up you select a few genres that interest you, and BoTM makes a suggested selection for you each month based on those interests. You can always change to another title, and it shows you what percentage of other subscribers choose each title. In my case, the suggested selection, "Siracusa" by Delia Ephron, was spot-on.
I am in the middle of two other books, so hopefully I finish those before my Book of the Month arrives next week. What are you guys reading these days?
This post was not sponsored or paid for in any way. I found the coupon code through a Facebook ad and was not compensated for sharing it here. Book of the Month did not contact me nor ask me to write this post. (Though if they wanted to, I'd take some free books!) All opinions expressed are my own.
This is right up my alley – love it and checking it out right now. Thanks so much for sharing!
Since I'm currently in the midst of my yoga teacher training, I'm only reading yoga and meditation related books… but I'm thinking this may be a fun service to sign up for once that's over!

Business lobby group CBI warns Tories over no-deal Brexit
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/48465791
The Confederation of British Industry has warned Conservative leadership candidates over a no-deal Brexit.
Such a scenario would do "severe" damage to businesses, the body - which supported Remain - told all the MPs running to lead the party.
Director general Carolyn Fairbairn told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that a no-deal Brexit should be an option "that is not even considered".
She was speaking after the CBI sent an open letter to candidates.
In its letter the CBI says: "Firms large and small are clear that leaving the EU with a deal is the best way forward."
"Short-term disruption and long-term damage to British competitiveness will be severe if we leave without one. The vast majority of firms can never be prepared for no-deal, particularly our [small and medium-sized] members who cannot afford complex and costly contingency plans."
She told Today that businesses were not ready for a no-deal scenario and said "this idea that we are ready is just not true".
"How can you be prepared for £20bn of increased customs costs? How can be you prepared for tariffs rising overnight? 150,000 businesses with no systems in place to do deal with this.
"This is not a responsible strategy for a government to have."

Reality Check: What does a 'WTO Brexit' mean?
What the EU elections tell us about support for Brexit
The UK had been due to leave the EU on 29 March, but Theresa May asked for an extension and the date was pushed back to 31 October.
The official race to succeed her gets under way after she stands down in early June, but jostling between Tory candidates has already begun.
'Long-term damage'
Esther McVey, the first of the 12 confirmed contenders to stand in the Tory leadership race, said earlier this week in a column for the Daily Telegraph the UK needs to "actively embrace leaving the EU without a deal".
Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and ex-Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab have said they would like to renegotiate the terms of Mrs May's withdrawal agreement with Brussels, but would enforce the current October deadline.
Gerard Lyons, co-founder of Economists for Brexit, told Today: "I don't think any of the leadership candidates are advocating no deal as their plan A.
"One has to have a plan B. No deal, whether we like it or not, has to be plan B.
"The CBI, remember, was amongst Project Fear three years ago and since the referendum we've seen one million jobs added the economy," he said.
Mr Lyons, a former advisor to Mr Johnson, told the BBC a no-deal Brexit would just be a "stepping stone" to a free trade agreement.
He said the challenges facing the UK would be "better addressed outside" the EU and that a focus needed to place on issues such as investment in infrastructure and investment to address "imbalances" in the economy.
British business has issued a challenge to the next prime minister to prove that the Conservatives are the party of business. That can only be achieved, says the CBI, if the next leader commits to leaving the EU with a deal.
The lobbying group insists that firms large and small are clear that leaving the EU with a deal is essential to protect the economy, jobs and living standards.
However, of the 12 candidates (so far), at least half say they are prepared (in fact some of them are determined) to leave the world's largest trading bloc as scheduled at the end of October - with or without a deal in place.
That includes the current favourite, Boris Johnson who, when foreign secretary, had a message for business leaders during the Brexit negotiations that ended in "ck" but wasn't "back".
That expletive - directed to a community that had traditionally seen the Conservative Party as its natural partner - shocked some in the business world and for others merely highlighted the dwindling influence of business in the politics of Brexit.
That gulf still seems very wide with business saying it can't work with anyone who contemplates no deal - and a party which may find it hard to contemplate a leader who won't.
Business has traditionally been important to the Conservative Party as one of its main sources of financial support.
However, overall donations to the party collapsed in the first quarter of the year, according to figures published by the Electoral Commission. The party received £3.7m in donations and public funds in the three months to March. For the fourth quarter of 2018, it was £7.5m.
Tory leadership candidate Jeremy Hunt has warned his party that pushing through a no-deal Brexit would be "political suicide" because it would result in a general election in which Labour could take power.
Fellow leadership contender Kit Malthouse, a housing minister, has said: "Those people who say no-deal would be a catastrophe and those people who say it would be a walk in the park are both wrong - it is somewhere in the middle."
Meanwhile, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has said the deal reached between the UK and the EU was "the only option" if the UK wanted to leave "in an orderly manner".
Who will replace Theresa May?
The winner of the contest to lead the Conservative Party will become the next prime minister.

Q: Can you get the public IP address of an EC2 instance Hi there im new to python code and was wondering is there a way of creating an instance and then printing the IP address back to the console, at the moment i can create an instance and it prints the instance ID back
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import boto3
ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')
instance = ec2.create_instances(
    ImageId='ami-0713f98de93617bb4',
    MinCount=1,
    MaxCount=1,
    KeyName='JamieTest',
    SecurityGroupIds=['sg-0273f9f172ba795ab'],
    InstanceType='t2.nano')
print ('Your instance has been created, the instance ID is :' + instance[0].id)

A: create_instances() returns a list of ec2.Instance objects and each may have a public_ip_address property (if the instance has a public IP address).
Thus
print ('Your instance public IP address is : ' + instance[0].public_ip_address)

A: You may use describe_instances() method:
import time

session = boto3.Session(profile_name='default')
ec2_client = session.client('ec2')
instance_id = instance[0].id #your instance id here

cycle = True
    while cycle:
        time.sleep(0.1)  #any value of your choice
        allinstances = ec2_client.describe_instances().get('Reservations')
        for i, group in enumerate(allinstances):
             for j, instance in enumerate(group.get('Instances')):
                  if instance.get("InstanceId") == instance_id:
                      externalip = instance.get('PublicIpAddress')
                      if externalip is not None: cycle = False
print('External IP:', externalip)

His criticism of Hargreaves Lansdown research director Mark Dampier appears to me to be based on the view that Mark had been quoted as saying something which may not have been positive for the financial services industry.
Many of the new clients we see at Warwick Butchart do not have positive past experiences from their interaction with the financial services industry. However, if as advisers, we can build a reputation and regard for providing views and advice based on honesty, integrity, experience, knowledge and research – which is exactly what Mark Dampier has done – we would all be able to worry less about the spin of providing positive industry messages.
As a serious specialist investment adviser myself who has been advising clients for more than 20 years, I know that Mark is absolutely right to draw attention to the rate paid by the ING account which is indeed "hard to beat".
It is a benchmark that we have to be aware of if the risk premium for investing in equities and fixed-interest-based collective investments is to be justified over the long term to clients. However, it is my sincere belief that we can justify this risk premium to investors and I suspect that Mark Dampier and the team at Hargreaves Lansdown share this view.

Good science fiction is thought-provoking. It raises questions of morality, social cohesion and cooperation, or of the impact of life-altering technologies or drugs. Liu's The Three Body Problem is good science fiction.
Set in China, the story of The Three Body Problem presents an unfamiliar perspective. Part of it takes place shortly after the Great Leap Forward, during the Cultural Revolution – I wonder how accurate Liu's narrative of this period is. The translator felt it necessary to add explanatory footnotes to aid the western reader in this alien context. On the other hand, the novel addresses a classic question in science fiction: First contact and the effect of having proof for extraterrestrial intelligent life and advanced technology.
Liu paints a bleak picture. A few Individuals driven by their personal fate and disillusionment may be able to wreak havoc on a global scale. Relinquishing all hope for the betterment of human society they rather opt for its annihilation, inviting an alien force that seeks to escape their own fate of doom.
Now, a still fragmented human society faces the threat of an alien invasion in the far future. And the novel ends.

You're one of only two females at Swix (a social media analytics firm), and on top of that, your style is — as celebrity-stylist-turned-fashion-designer Rachel Zoe would say — bah-nanas! How did that happen?
Well, I'm a total fashion lover and grew up working in retail. But I graduated with a business degree and a minor in marketing, so when the opportunity arose at Swix, it was a good fit. My first week, I wore super-feminine skirts and dresses, and the guys were like, "Why are you dressed like you're headed to the prom?" but now I'm like a little sister. It's a really fun place to work.
During university, I had the opportunity to study in France. The street style was amazing — Parisian style is unlike any other. Passing by gorgeous boutiques and women, I was inspired by how they put looks together. I like to wear masculine pieces — say, a trouser pant or fitted blazer — and fill it in with feminine details.

Pine Creek Lake is set in a huge glacial cirque below the north slope of Black Mountain. The trail to the lake is well-defined and meanders through forest en route to the base of Pine Creek Falls. Past the falls, the trail becomes steep and strenuous, continuing past a series of smaller waterfalls and two small lakes before reaching Pine Creek Lake, where great views and a well-earned rest await. If you're feeling frisky, head on up another two miles and 1,800 vertical feet to Black Mountain for incredible views of Paradise Valley and the Beartooth Plateau.
This can be an arduous hike during the best conditions, but the trail is very difficult in snow and mud. The trail is open year-round, though it's best for hikers from July through September.
From Livingston, drive south on Hwy. 89. Turn left on Pine Creek Rd., then turn right on East River Rd. After a few miles, turn left on Luccock Park Rd. at the posted sign for the Pine Creek Campground.

'Nobody told us that a storm was coming'
Bring out the promises
A bureaucrat's witty mix of history and fiction
Saadia Qamar June 11, 2010
KARACHI: A bureaucrat read out random anecdotes and fictional accounts, 'jinxed' with facts that are now part of history.
Iqbal Diwan, currently Sindh's transport secretary, discussed his newly published book 'Jisay Raat Lay Uri Hava' at The Second Floor on Friday and read out excerpts from a chapter titled 'Admiral', a witty satirical account of indigenous characters.
As a current bureaucrat, Diwan shared his experiences by writing about this fictional character 'Admiral', explaining how the wives of the armed forces officers enjoy the leisure of sleeping till late in the day and shopping at the Dubai Shopping Festival.
In another section of the chapter, he read out the piece on District Management Officers, who, according to him, gave plenty of dinner parties with either the intention to "please someone" or to get disassociated with someone.
He also introduced the mysterious Aunty M, part of Ayub Khan's era, who people praised as a hostess, as she organised great dinner parties and let people indulge in wine and alcohol to their hearts' content.
But she herself was never invited to any such dinner party.
Writing about the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, he read out about how he hid in Humayun's tomb when the British were coming and taking over Delhi. He writes about Lord Macaulay, who himself brought the concept of literacy and education in the midst of the Indian people.
He also had accounts of Sher Shah Suri and his arrival as a ruler, as well as Sir Syed Ahmad Khan.
Diwan has written with an uncommonly natural flair, with the diction relating to the streams of consciousness. However, his work is neither autobiographical nor a script. Breaking away from his "bureaucratic shelf", he talked about "life and its philosophy in a natural style."
According to Asif Aslam Farrukhi, "This is one of the funniest and most readable books that have been published in the country in the last couple of years. Even though he has written for the first time, he has a command over Urdu."
Terming the book "un-put-down-able", he said that people are usually pompous in narrating a story, but he simply isn't. "He is absolutely funny."
