In the era of Donald Trump, we are witnessing the emboldening of nativist and racial populism from rioters in Charlottesville, Virginia, to Viktor Orbán in Hungary. In Charlottesville, a hateful display of white ethno-nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan was organized under the pretext of protesting the removal of monuments representing the enslavement and subjugation of African Americans, but involved Nazi chanting and explicit antisemitism. What turned out to be a deadly day on August 12, 2017, also revealed how antisemitism is hardwired into, as noted by Eric K. Ward and Ben Lorber, anti-Black and other forms of white (Christian) American racism. In Hungary, as well as other locations in Europe, the Holocaust survivor and philanthropist George Soros has been the target of explicit, state-sanctioned, anti-Semitic attacks and vilification.
The Israeli government winked at such open expressions of antisemitism, with a tacit understanding that Islamophobic and xenophobic governments are more inclined to endorse the enduring and deepening occupation of Palestinians. This (not so) curious complicity (see here and here, but also here) exposes the relationship between Islamophobia and antisemitism and how these two hatreds also dovetail with homophobia, misogyny, and patriarchy. This suggests that peacebuilding and conflict transformation will need to involve deorientalizing and decolonizing Jewish meanings and experiences. Jewish meanings in modernity are embedded in Eurocentrism and the colonial legacy of Western Christian powers that Orientalized the Arab and Muslim as the "other" of modernity, which contributed to assimilating the Jews of Europe into a civilizational colonial and neocolonial narrative and, in the United States, into the category of whiteness. As Gil Anidjar wrote, Muslims and Jews, the two "others" of (Christian) Europe are intricately connected. Their connectivity is a site of self-transcendence and communal transformation for Jewish activists who endeavor to unlearn their narratives through intersectional solidarity (connecting various sites of injustice through a lens of co-resistance) and through foregrounding the experiences and perspectives of marginalized Jews.
The parading, in broad daylight, of Nazi symbols, slogans, and paraphernalia prompts the question the editors asked us to ponder, "Is this all there is?" Are we doomed to live through the cyclical unfolding of the same human tendency to scapegoat and treat other humans as ungrievable? This most recent manifestation of "nothing new under the sun" reveals how facile identity politics glosses over the task of engaging in intersectional critiques of capitalism and neoliberalism. While scapegoating and white supremacy are back in daylight, new coalitions of critics refuse and challenge what they identify as false boundaries. The latter are always articulated through appeals to exclusionary interpretations of race and religion and likewise entail multiple levels of social and cultural violence, including sexism, homophobia, heteronormativity, and a nostalgia for a golden age when masculinity was not ostensibly threatened. The waves of white populism stress, therefore, the importance of thinking expansively about the interrelations of religion in the production, reproduction, and denaturalizing of conceptions of racial, national, ethnic, and other facets of identity and solidarity. What is left after we have done all that?
Born in the face of the failures of institutionalized Judaism in the United States to respond ethically to the Israeli assault on Gaza in 2014 and to the enduring occupation of Palestinians, INN's core objective is to challenge the "out-of-touch establishment claims to speak for our community." Its logo, a representation of the burning bush, signifies "our generation's call to leadership in the Jewish community" but also the realization that the liberation of Jews "is bound up in the liberation of all people," so INN's website reads. Beyond an analysis of power and ideology, for the activists of INN, rootedness in Jewishness means that their point of departure is found in ancient questions. Rabbi Hillel famously asked in the first century CE: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?" These questions were reasserted in 2014 by INN with an urgency generated by the images of the Israeli assault on Gaza and with the crisis of authority within the American Jewish community. For INN's activists, the time is now. They are tired of their elders' complicity with "mowing the lawn" in Gaza and see themselves as the generation to end the occupation (and white supremacy) as their hashtag #WeWillBeTheGeneration captures.
How might we understand why they reached back to Rabbi Hillel? One activist told me she resents the assumption one knew what was meant by the phrase "Jewish values" (a supposed reified set of principles and norms) as what motivates Jewish activists to engage in social justice work. "For me," she underscored, "Judaism is texts and interpretations over centuries" and Shabbat Hazon (based on readings from Deuteronomy and Isaiah and grappled with on the Shabbat before Ninth of Av to mark the destruction of Jerusalem), for instance, is as relevant to her now as it was then. Because Shabbat Hazon revolves around the prophetic calling-out against the difficult ethical predicament of Jews, its meaning is deeply applicable for this activist's wrestling with the sins of her contemporary community. To be rooted in Jewishness means reaching out internally to different times and places and resources of tradition, but that is not all there is. Participation in a broader social justice movement and multiple social fields, the experience of being "woke," and tangible relationship-building across communities constitute engines for creating new collective meanings.
This is grassroots transcendence within the immanent frame. Destabilizing ontological certainties through critique and unlearning produces "porous selves" that, while distinct from Charles Taylor's use of the concept, are nonetheless open to transcendence through relationship-building and solidarity movement work with others. For Ilana Sumka, the founder and executive director of the Center for Jewish Nonviolence (CJNV), working in solidarity with Palestinians in the West Bank channels Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel's prophetic commitment to praying with one's legs. Jewish Palestine-solidarity activists retrieve this memory of Heschel's march in Selma in 1965 to embolden their understanding of Jewish resources for nonviolent civil disobedience as well as embeddedness within a Jewish prophetic tradition that focuses, as Susannah Heschel writes in her Introduction to the Perennial Classics Edition of The Prophets, not only on the prophetic message but also on the religious experience the prophets, such as those of her father and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Whether it is through contemporary midrash on the story of the midwives Pua and Shifra's resistance to the Pharaoh's decree to kill newborn males or attentive listening to Jewish veterans from the Student Nonviolent Committee, Jewish activists interpret their struggle against injustice as Jewishly meaningful. To pray with their legs is what they do when they create a wall with their bodies, blocking violent, right-wing Israelis from parading through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem during their infamous Flag Parade on Jerusalem Day. Praying with one's legs means that the prophetic is not a mere message on the level of cognition but an embodied spirituality. Cornel West recognized this prophetic spirit when he showed up to accompany INN's protest of The American Israel Public Affairs Committee's (AIPAC) annual conference in March 2017. What time is it? For these activists who are willing to use their privilege but risk their safety, the time is both too late and now.
Leading a delegation of 130 mostly American Jews and working closely with a historic coalition consisting of other diaspora Jews as well as Palestinian and Israeli partners committed to nonviolently ending the occupation, Sumka co-launched "Sumud: Freedom Camp" in the southern hills of Hebron. Sumud was established on the site of a Palestinian village of Sarura and marked fifty years since the occupation of 1967. Sarura was declared a military firing zone in the 1970s and its inhabitants were mostly displaced by 1999. After extremist Jewish settlers moved in to the illegal settlement of Havat Ma'on in 2001, the remaining Palestinian villagers faced constant vandalism. The Sumud Freedom Camp (employing the Palestinian concept and practice of steadfastness) was meant to facilitate the return of a few Palestinian families to their land and to resist the system of the occupation. The resistance is embodied by diaspora Jews "praying with their legs" and putting their bodies at risk, but also joyfully celebrating iftar and Eid ul-Fitr or playing with the kids of the villages of Susiya or Umm al-Khair. For the CJNV's activists, the time is now and it is urgent as well as complicated. Many of the activists with the CJNV sang Hebrew Jewish songs while subject to repeated raids by the Israeli Defense Forces. Why did they sing Jewish songs in proximity to the Palestinian partners for whom Hebrew is the language of the military and settlers? The Palestinian partners were supportive of public expressions of religiosity, but why were such needed then? If not then, when? To stand there in Sarura wearing t-shirts that read "occupation is not my Judaism" and going through a ritualistic liturgy for Shabbat is to generate transcendence in the immanence of the arid landscape of the southern hills of Hebron.
The case of Jewish Palestine-solidarity and/or anti-occupation work sheds light on mechanisms for transcending ideological constructs (i.e., the false boundaries that activists disrupt) that narrate Jewish history in ways that authorize direct and systemic violence against Palestinians. Jewish activists in INN, CJNV, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), and other similar groups demonstrate that religious peacebuilding can and does involve discursive or critical interpretive work that highlights the operation of violence and power in their multiplicity. At the same time, religious peacebuilding invites an elastic, embodied, and discursive conception of tradition. Reimagining Jewishness as transcendence entails a critique of Jewish whiteness as a moral choice and the assimilation of Jews into American white supremacy; it also entails foregrounding the experiences of Jews of Color and Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews.
One mechanism for reimagining religiosity is through the rewriting of liturgy and the reinterpreting of symbols. The reimagined liturgy of the intentional, non-Zionist Jewish community Tzedek Chicago, for instance, flexibly interrogates and poetically revises the liturgical content, identifying and confronting not only apparent genocidal passages, but also pervasive patriarchal norms. Insights from the study of material culture illuminate the power of symbols to be themselves agentic and transformative in processes of renegotiating and reimagining communal meanings and boundaries. For instance, carrying a large symbolic Hanukkiyya, where each candle holder stands for an injustice Jews stand against, in front of a building associated with institutionalized Judaism functions, as in the case of Shabbat services in Sarura, as an instrument of protest. However, it also carries causal capacities in transforming Jewish communities and constructing aspirational communal spaces. If I am only for myself, what am I?
So is this all there is? The activists of INN retrieved Hillel's timeless insight, but its timelessness does not denote fixity. Nor does it suggest that there is nothing new under the sun and that this is all there is. Religiosity is not reducible to ideology and power nor should religious meanings, symbols, and texts only be understood in terms of a social movement's objectives and repertoire of protest. Power reductionism that tells us power is all there is and "religion," as a legal and political (and theological) category, is only an instrument of hegemony constitutes an inadequate lens for us to respond to the question, what time is it? In Sarura or Tzedek Chicago, we observe transcendence unfolding through an intersectional critique, dispelling false boundaries, and reclaiming porousness through an analysis of race and interlocking systems of oppression. Praying with one's legs also illustrates that transcendence does not only demolish, but also produces new meanings. For Heschel, praying with his legs in Selma amounted to the experience of holiness. This leads me back to Hillel's inquiries from a different time and place to recognize their force: If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?

fall festival thrills crowds with wildlife, crafts, food and music | New
By Robert F. Williams	 Last updated Sep 27, 2021
The Hernando Water Tower Festival welcomed crowds of people to the historic city courtyard plaza on Saturday, September 25.
The annual fall event hosted vendors featuring wild animals, food candles, and lots of food.
Donnah Turner, of the Hernando Chamber of Commerce, said on Saturday she had been organizing vendors since before dawn and had met several out-of-state visitors.
"We've been here since 4:45 am," Turner said. "The vendors started arriving around 5:00 pm. We were all here with flashlights.
The festival officially started at 9 a.m. with many festival-goers from out of town.
"We had people from Minnesota, Chicago, and Florida," Turner said. "We don't have any more T-shirts for them to say they were here in Hernando. "
Turner added that many out-of-town visitors were in the area to see family and sightseeing.
Suzanne Burch, director of WAVE Raptors and Reptiles, leaned her right arm against the side of her body to support the weight of a bird of prey. The bird delighted passers-by and attracted a lot of attention.
"We had a lot of traffic today and it's been really good for us," said Burch. "We have some new birds, a barn owl named Edwin and Ruby Roundhouse, a red-tailed hawk."
Burch said public engagements are beneficial for birds that are being rehabilitated after injury or that are separated from their natural environment.
"We had a great time and it was a wonderful experience," Burch added.
Ellie Overstreet with O. Sugar candles and body products had used up her Fruit Loops cereal bowl candles by early afternoon.
"There was really good traffic today," said Overstreet. "I really had fun, I enjoyed meeting people. I sold almost everything and it was great! I will definitely be making more of my Fruit Loops candles. I already have orders for Christmas.
The festival also included a car show, a barbecue contest, a kids' zone and a corn hole tournament.
Taisha Roberts, from Southaven, came to the festival in the afternoon to see local crafts.
"And to get out of the house really," Roberts said. "It's a beautiful day and we take advantage of all the vendors and look at everything."
Roberts said his favorite part of the festival was the feathered education ambassadors. Mississippi Wildlife Rehabilitation was a vendor and brought rehabilitated birds for festival goers to meet.
"We love the food too, but we've only had lemonade and popsicles so far," said Roberts. "We're just getting started. "
Roberts' son Colton said he was happy to be out of the house as well.
A concert took place at 7:00 a.m. after the festival on the lawn of the Hernando courthouse. Derrick Joseph played.

If a reconciliation takes place, how does the marriage get re-instated as Talaaq has been issued.
When one or two Talaaqs have been issued, there is scope of reconciliation. Though the Talaaq issued has the effect of divorce, it is not fully effective until the end of the Iddah period. Upon the termination of the Iddah, the full effect of the divorced is now realised and the wife is free to marry another if she chooses to do so.
If within the Iddah period, the husband tells his wife, "I take you back in my Nikah" or if he is physically intimate with her, then the Talaaq is considered revoked and the Nikah comes into effect once again.
It should be noted that though the Talaaq is revoked, it is still counted. Hence, if one Talaaq was given, only two remain and if two Talaaqs were given, only one remains.
In the case where three Talaaqs are given, there is no scope of reconciliation and the marriage is completely ended. The laws of Iddah will nonetheless apply and in this case the wife is not allowed to beautify herself as reconciliation is not possible.

Located inside the exclusive Lake Forest subdivision, there's not much about this classic Hill Forest Drive mansion that doesn't scream "high caliber." Built in 2000, this home received a complete and thorough renovation recently that has made this gem of a listing into the crown jewel of the neighborhood.
Ingram describes this Hill Forest Drive mansion as chic, sophisticated, classy, and timeless — which is what we expect of such an outstanding High Caliber Home. And the remodel doesn't disappoint, either.
"A complete, gutted remodel of the home in the last few years implemented the finest in design, materials, and craftsmanship," Ingram added. In fact, the interior remodel totaled more than $750,000 in upgrades, making this classic Hill Forest Drive mansion an absolute deal at $1.618 million.
What's better than one stunning High Caliber Home in North Dallas? How about five? This week we feature five gorgeous North Dallas homes that are all featured in an agent tour today! The tour, dubbed "North Dallas Reimagined," shows off just what's possible with the incredible stock of midcentury ranch and 1970s soft contemporary architecture available.
Stops include three 1970s contemporaries and two redone ranches. However, while all five homes have received some level of restoration or renovation, none compares to the completely transformed ranch at 5409 Preston Haven represented by Galaxy Modern founder Janelle Alcantara. These stunning metamorphoses make for amazing High Caliber Homes of the Week presented by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans. Get a look at these amazing changes from 1 to 4 p.m. today, Nov. 14!
Of course, we had to know more about Janelle Alcantara's listing at 5409 Preston Haven. The home, which started as a typical 1960s ranch, is situated in a hidden neighborhood off of Inwood Road, says the Galaxy Modern founder. "The family that owned it created a lifetime of memories there. The children that grew up in the house are now adults and they knew that the likely fate of their childhood home was a wrecking ball," Alcantara said.
Then, they heard about Alcantara and her company Galaxy Modern.
Before: 5409 Preston Haven was a family home that was definitely feeling worn out.
Tucked back behind Forest Lane, Marsh Lane, and Webb Chapel Road is an enclave of Midcentury Ranch homes, homes to families from the late 1950s to today — and they're still some of the most affordable homes in North Dallas.
Built by Fox & Jacobs, the L-shaped Accent and Flair homes of the 1960s are present in several neighborhoods in North Dallas, especially along Marsh Lane (full disclosure, this writer lives in one, and her family is only the second family to live in the home since it was built in 1961).


Strike A Pose For Your High School Senior Pictures And Bring Out The Model In You!
Today it's easier than ever to get an concept of the high quality of function that a photographer does. Most photographers have web sites at which they display parts of their portfolio. Choose a few (at minimum 3) that seem to embody the type of spirit and creativeness that you are looking for. Schedule an in-individual go to with them. This is invaluable in figuring out precisely what kind of individual they are as well as to express to them your idea of what you want your wedding ceremony album to accomplish and get suggestions from them as to whether or not they're the correct person. It also gives you a chance to see much more of their portfolio than they have posted on their website. After all, not everyone has the benefit of getting a great web designer create their web site.
Now let's talk about equipment. We began by mentioning that camera technologies has enhanced to an amazing level. The novice Washington DC professional event photographer that is chosen to shoot the wedding ceremony usually will have equipment that is as great as numerous experts. But is that enough? Expert wedding photographer will come to the wedding outfitted with additional back again up cameras in case of equipment failure. They will bring additional flashes, batteries, and lenses. What happens if Uncle Bob's great camera occurs to stop working? Does he have a back again up digital camera body? Most likely not.
Discover the joy of eclectic bridesmaids. Inquire your bridesmaids to look in their closets and see what they've got that might provide the purpose. You'd be astonished what type of clothes individuals have sitting down in their closets that has only been worn once, and has been doing nothing but gather dust for many years. Get the dresses together in 1 location and see how the colours, designs and supplies appear with each other. If it doesn't work out, you can always purchase bridesmaid dresses later on, or request that the bridesmaids purchase their personal apparel (frugally, of program.) Make sure every thing fits prior to the large day.
I have made a wedding photographer video clip that received 1 million hits from YouTube. That is a big number and it is directing numerous new guests to my company web site, even these days.
Where: Verify out the Produce Now World Tour routine to see when they will be in your area, and don't forget to join the conversation on Fb and Twitter (hashtag #CreateNow).
Depending on the reception, some meals run upwards of $40 a plate. You will also currently have all your family and friends in the seating for the meal portion of the reception. So you will have to make the call on what you think is appropriate. If you are contemplating getting a seller table, consult with them if they are bringing any assistants. However, when your wedding ceremony vendor gets a title card done in calligraphy with their title on it, they will get that warm sensation within.
In the over case, it would be a lot safer if you had been to employ two photographers. It will be a truly uncommon case that each cameras have problems. Some photo studios can provide two or even 3 photographers packages and you ought to always inquire if they will give you much more than 1 photographer.
Following these suggestions will not only make you really feel and appear your prettiest for your bridal portrait but also assists make the job of your wedding ceremony photographer simpler.

"What I mean by realism goes beyond reality." - Maurice Pialat, 1973
One of the most gifted directors of the post-New Wave, Maurice Pialat is frequently compared to such legendary filmmakers as Jean Renoir and Robert Bresson. A quintessential realist filmmaker, who, like Bresson, was trained as a painter, his particular form of realism influenced an entire generation of young filmmakers in the 1990s. He is a complex and difficult director, who saw himself as a marginal and marginalised filmmaker, but whose films are deeply rooted in French society and culture, portraying "la France profonde", or the heart of France.
Pialat made torments the subject of his art.
The pain of creation, as in Van Gogh, Pialat vividly depicts the final days before the illed Vincent decides to take his own life, and how he had never benefited from his own accomplishments.
The pain of love, as in Under the Sun of Satan, a movie based on the 1926 novel of the same name by Georges Bernanos, he carefully illustrates a passionate priest who upsets the Grace of God when being tempted by Satan in rescuing the soul of a murderer.
In We Won't Grow Old Together and Loulou, Pialat portrays the cowardness and selfishness of people engaged in deviant love affairs critically, and how one would finally suffer from the seeds one sowed by oneself, inspired by his own experiences.

The '2 States' star captioned the video, "Co-star Se zyada... Lover Se Thoda Kam @ranveersingh .. My #HalfGirlfriend Now tell me about your #HalfRelationship"
Directed by Mohit Suri, ' Half Girlfriend' is slated to release on May 19, 2017. The movie is based on Chetan Bhagat's novel of the same name.

Do I need to add something to my adapter or viewholder to update all the text properly?

A: I think I get it, but I don't see where you are setting the text size at all, you said it changes in some cards randomly.
As I see it, what needs to be done is to set the size in the Holder's bind method. This gets executed every time the card needs to be redrawn.  You can read the shared preferences inside the bind(), but that is terribly inefficient since the holder's bind method will be called many times over when scrolling.  You wan to avoid any excess work inside the Holders bind()
Add a dynamicTextSize member variable to the adapter and set the value with either:

*

*Add a setText/getText size to the adapter and the activity can set this when needed.

*Retrieve the text size inside the adapter's constructor and then override the notifyDataSetChanged() method and pull the value again each time that is called.  Then call super.notifyDataSetChanged()
Example:
@Override
public void notifyDataSetChanged() {
   this.dynamicTextSize = // Pull value from shared preferences
   super.notifiyDataSetChanged();
}

What I also don't see is the dynamicTextSize value being passed into the holder.  Since the holder has a reference to the adapter, you can add a getTextSize() method to the adapter, then the holder can call into the adapter to get it.
public MyPageHolder(View v, Activity activity, MyPageAdapter adapter) {
   ...
   this.dynamicTextSize = adapter.getTextSize()
}

Finally, in the setTextSize() method you'll need to call the adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() to update the adapter.
Update 10/17
I've attempted to add some detail to by previous post.
Main Activity
// Dynamic text size
private void setTextSize(int textSize) {

    //  Add a call to set the text to the adapter's member variable:
    mAdapter.setTextSize(textSize);

    // I'm not sure what description is here...  I don't see what type the member is
    description.setTextSize(textSize);
    saveToPreferences(this, "THE_TEXT_SIZE", "" + textSize);
}

In your adapter, add a method to set and get the text size.  The set will be called by the main activity, when the text size changes, and the get is called by the holder each time it needs to set the size of the TextView.
public class MyPageAdapter extends Adapter<MyPageHolder> {

    ...
    public String dynamicTextSize;

    public void setTextSize(int textSize) {
       dynamicTextSize = textSize;
    }
    // This will be called by the holder
    public int getTextSize() {
       return dynamicTextSize;
    }
    ...
}

In your holder:
public abstract class MyPageHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
    public void bind(MenuPageItems dataModel, Activity activity, final int position) {
        ...

        // Call into the adapter to get the text size.
        int textSize = adapter.getTextSize();
        txtDescription.setTextSize(textSize);
    }
}

Update 10/19
I was able to get it to work with just a small change.

*

*Add a getDynamicTextSize in your MainActivity

*Add a call to the get from within the MyPageAdapter constructor.
public MyPageAdapter(Activity activity){
    datas = new ArrayList<>();
    this.activity = activity;
    dynamicTextSize = ((MainActivity)activity).getDynamicTextSize();
}

While this does work, there is are few things it will not do for you.

*

*Ties your fragments to always being a child of the MainActivity activity, you can get around this with an interface, but still not pretty.

*Will not update the current activity as soon as the user chooses the new text size.  Since the mainActivity takes the menu event, you will need to inform whatever Fragment(s) is/are active, that the text setting has changed and then call notifiyDataSetChanged on the adapter.

*Does not set the size of the text outside of the custom RecyclerView.  I see you have a few fragments that do not use you recycler view.  These will not take the setting.  The setting in the menu would make you think all the text in the app should change.
The accepted reply in this post seems to be a good way to adjust the text size for the entire app.  Some changes in your app almost show that you've seen it.

When Putin comes to shove and Trump lies down
By Editorials
Well, that settles it then. (Not in the slightest.)
In Hamburg on Friday, President Trump made show of pushing Russian President Vladimir Putin to account for Russia's role in the hacking, mucking and meddling that infested the 2016 U.S. presidential election — then caved without resistance.
By the account of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Putin responded with his same old saw that Russia had nothing to do with it — contrary to the firm findings of U.S. intelligence agencies.
By account of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Trump swallowed the story whole — at best (back to Tillerson's account) agreeing to disagree.
Not to warn Putin of consequences. Not to demand a halt to the cyber warfare, its reality confirmed beyond doubt. Not to, heaven forbid, suggest sanctions could be in store.
With the world's eyes on Hamburg, Trump blithely brushed off catastrophic foreign interference in our democratic elections, even while making ostentatious show of toughening his stance.
Don takes Vlad at his word. (Evan Vucci/AP)
Capping months of dissembling and denials — he claimed just on Thursday that while likely Russian, the campaign hacking could still prove to be others' handiwork — Trump as much as invites further Russian wreaking of havoc on U.S. politics, with 2018 congressional races looming.
The message delivered by Tillerson and Lavrov differs only in volume from Trump's call during the election to plunder Hillary Clinton's emails.
Trump is now President, the office he took an oath to faithfully execute on behalf of the American people. The pugilist who "punches back 10 times harder" when feeling personally attacked, in the words of the First Lady's spokesperson last week, can't muster half a fist to defend his nation from hostile incursion.
Speaking for a nation left voiceless on the world stage, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declared Trump's collapse "a grave dereliction of duty."
Like nothing had ever happened, as if free and fair elections in the United States did not hang in the balance, as if a special prosecutor and congressional committees were not investigating evidence of collusion between campaign and regime, Trump and Putin proceeded to plan a beautiful future together. They started with an agreement for a ceasefire in the southwest of Syria and then discussed, oh, the irony, possibilities for collaboration on cybersecurity.
Move on, they say. There's so much to do, they say. On the contrary: There's nothing to talk about, except the elephant in the room.

Science is an international community, that knows no borders, politics or race. When one embarks on a scientific journey, fellow scientists from around the world are there to offer assistance, guidance and a different point of view, all in the name of scientific innovation. iGEM is no exception, placing great emphasis on the collaborative aspect of every team's project.
In the course of the session we discussed our respective projects and needs for the competition. Our new friends helped us gain a new perspective regarding our Wiki design, and offered wisdom about how to tackle this facet of our project.
Next, we reached out to team Bristol. They graciously offered us a tool they had developed for writing Wiki code, which proved to be immensely helpful. Up to that point we encountered setbacks with our wiki design and this collaboration came at an auspicious time. Thanks to this act of professional courtesy, we were able to make significant process on our wiki page.
Unfortunately, we hit a roadblock early on with our wiki design and decided to outsource the process to an external web design company.
Furthermore, we learned from the Lahore team that, from the first days of the project, they had allocated each area of responsibility to a student from the appropriate study field. Following this, we decided that next year's team should have a computer science student onboard for the purpose of Wiki design.
The jewel in our crown is our collaboration with the Technion team, on the esteemed topic of ethics. We sought to profoundly investigate the ethical side of our project, seeing as how it deals with sensitive subjects spanning genetic engineering and the human food industry. One of our main objectives was to create a product that promotes ecological and sustainable food production, the basis for which is clearly ethics. The Technion team compiled an ethics handbook, a succinct manifest spanning the world of ethics, covering subjects from the history of ethics to modern day implications. We read this text with guidance from Dr. Meshi Ori and were inspired to write our own ethical guidelines. The insight we gained by reading their ethical standpoint inspired us to view our research in a different light, emphasizing ethics as a major component of our project.
Then came the time for our teams to meet and discuss in person. The session began with each team introducing its members and project and this is where we discovered that our projects share an important characteristic - their modular nature. This refers to the respective projects' design, as a basic concept that may be applicable in other various contexts. Dr.Meshi began the meeting with walking us through the multi-faceted world of ethics, from the very arcane to the mundane. By doing so, we created a common language with which to discuss the ethical perspectives of our corresponding projects. Dr. Meshi enlightened the Technion team that, with the great depth their booklet goes into, it lacks a practical approach. Talking about ethics is a venerable pursuit, but in order to make our world a better place, we need to implement ethics in our daily reality.
Our benefit from this collaboration was the inspiration we gleaned from their book, which allowed us to draft our own take on ethics in general and how it pertains to our project. Thinking about our project with this newfound perspective, we reevaluated our role in the education for responsible alcohol consumption.
Dr.Ayelet Shavit then led a dialogue meant to challenge our perception of lab work, urging us to question all that we take for granted in terms of what we do every single day in the lab. The subject of this dialogue was the connection between science and morals, a cornerstone of this connection being objectivity - how can we assess the morality of what we do if don't view it without preconceived notions? What is the role played by politics and money, within the scientific community and how does it affect the nature of the scientific work?
Rami, our Muslim team member, had a worthwhile perspecive to add to the discussion. As a practicing and devout Muslim he isn't allowed to drink wine, nor does he wish to, seeing as how it's not a part of his culture whatsoever. But when the time came to choose an idea for the iGEM project, he was the first to vote for our current idea. He realized that as a scientist he is duty bound to always ask questions regarding the nature and ramifications of his work, especially from an ethical standpoint.
Thanks to these various collaborations, our project grew in depth and scope, putting the importance of relationships at the forefront. Every person we encountered in the course of this project added value to our goals and helped us reexamine our objectives as a team, as scientists and as members of the international community.

The following section is transcluded from Template:Featured article/Fallout 3/1. To modify, please edit the source page.
Pulowski Preservation shelters are coin-operated, one-person fallout shelters found on street corners throughout the more urban areas of the Capital Wasteland. People would ostensibly use them as a last-minute resort in the event of a nuclear attack; however, they have no food or water supplies and may not even have had recyclable air, so the customer would have to bring with them anything they thought they would need for survival (and due to the last-minute nature of the booth, most people did not bring very much with them to begin with). The instructions on the inside tell the occupant to "Wait for the radiation levels to drop. Enjoy your stay." before leaving.
The booths were obviously not very effective at all - almost every one found within the game contains a charred skeleton and a few items that the person brought in with them. One even contains a protectron robot that decided to claim it for itself before being fried in the blast.
Nukalurks are a rare species of mirelurk with glowing blue features. It is assumed that this coloration is due to the isotope used to color Nuka-Cola Quantum. This seems to be proven by the effects of their delicious nukalurk meat which boosts health as well as Action Points!
Found in large numbers only in the Nuka-Cola Plant, this ancient pre-War bottling factory may serve as both their home, and the birthplace of their species. The majority of these creatures dwell in the lower production level of the factory, which has been flooded with spilled Nuka-Cola Quantum.
Allistair Tenpenny is the owner of Tenpenny Tower and the employer of a certain Mister Burke. If the player talks to Allistair they will find out that he commented to Mister Burke about how Megaton is an eyesore and this brings on Mister Burke's "quest" to find someone to blow up the atomic bomb at the town's center. He also is a bigot and won't consider ghouls to live with in the tower unless you convince the others with in the tower. He carries a sniper rifle which he uses to randomly shoot at things in the wastes from his balcony in what he calls "Wasteland Safari" not caring what he hits or kills.
The yao guai are a species of mutant bears and are some of the strongest, fastest, deadliest creatures you can expect.
In Chinese, yao guai (妖怪) simply means "monster". In mythology, they are physical incarnations of the spirits of mistreated animals, or fallen divine animals. There is evidence that there were Chinese soldiers who actually made it to the American mainland during the Great War (for example, the different Chinese weapons available in the game, the remains of Chinese soldiers, the Chinese remnant in Mama Dolce's and the Chengs living in Tenpenny Tower), so it is possible that its Chinese name comes from this influence.
Deathclaws are an enormously large, agile, and strong species of genetically engineered reptiles. They are substantially larger than a human, and have large and dangerous claws. It is claimed that they were originally derived from mixed animal stock DNA (mostly Jackson's Chameleons) before the Great War to replace humans during close-combat search-and-destroy missions and later refined by the Master, using genetic manipulation, but the accounts of their origins vary. Although they do not have vocal chords, the deathclaws seem to be able mimic human speech much the same as a parrot does, although normal deathclaws aren't intelligent enough to be capable of real speech.
Vertibirds are Enclave VTOL vehicles used as scouts and troop transports. In 2241 one of them crashed near the trapper town of Klamath, and was the first sign of the Enclave encountered by the Chosen One. In 2277, they are still used by the Enclave in the Capital Wasteland area.
The Vertibird is a lateral twin-rotor (non-synchronized) VTOL design. An actual experimental prototype for this type of aircraft was the Platt-LePage XR-1/XR-1A tested by the United States Army in the 1940's. Others included the German Fa 223 and the McDonnell XHJD-1 "Whirlaway".
Elder Owyn Lyons is the idealistic leader of the Brotherhood of Steel's branch in the Capital Wasteland. His daughter, Sarah Lyons, is the division's Head Paladin.
Some time after the destruction of the Enclave, the Brotherhood's ruling council decided to send a contingent of soldiers led by Lyons all the way to the East Coast to scour the ruins of Washington D.C., once the nation's capital, and recover any and all advanced technology. But Elder Owyn Lyons had another priority, one he considered more important than his original directive or any orders received since – the protection of the innocent people of the Capital Wasteland. And so, Lyons sent word to his superiors that he would continue his search for technology when he was damned good and ready, and would not sacrifice the people who had come to rely on the bravery and strength of the Brotherhood of Steel. The Capital Wasteland division of the Brotherhood of Steel, headquartered in the Citadel, became its own entity: still affiliated with the Brotherhood of Steel on the West Coast, and bound by its laws and customs, but otherwise completely independent.
Megaton is a town in the vincinity of Washington, D.C. built around the crater, where an undetonated nuclear bomb, which a part of the town worships as a miraculous sign from God. People took this unexploded bomb as a sign from God that He intended them to survive. This encouraged them to build their town around this bomb, using salvaged parts including a downed airline carrier.
James, the father of the player character in Fallout 3 will appear prominently throughout the game.
Both the Lone Wanderer and his father are inhabitants of Vault 101. Catherine, the mother of the Player Character died at childbirth. The Vault has been sealed for the last 200 years and no one has ever left it - until it turned out that the PC's father has disappeared from it without any explanation. The young Vault Dweller leaves the safe shelter to look for his father in the ruins of Washington, DC.

Radroaches or simply giant cockroaches are obviously giant versions of the regular cockroaches mutated by radiation - there was never any doubt that they would survive a nuclear war. Found mainly in underground areas and sewers, these creatures can usually be found in fairly large groups. They feed on the dead, but will go after living creatures if isolated. Their numbers are usually their greatest advantage. Radroaches live mostly in the areas east of California.
Erik J. Caponi is a designer at Bethesda Softworks and one of the developers of Fallout 3.
Responsible for writing dialog, designing locations, crafting characters, implementing scenes and scenarios, and creating background lore for games set in the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series or role-playing games. Secondary duties include systems and content design.
The Type 93 Chinese assault rifles are quite possibly a leftover from the United States' war with China, an event that triggered the Great War. This rifle is chambered in 5.56mm.
This rifle can be seen in use by the super mutants in the Washington, D.C. area around 2277.
Wes Johnson (born 6 June 1961) is a North American actor and voice actor who voices Mister Burke in Fallout 3. He has appeared in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, as well as such films as John Waters' A Dirty Shame, Head of State, and the Nicole Kidman thriller The Invasion. He also appeared in For Richer or Poorer, Hearts in Atlantis, and the indy short Ted's 12.
RobCo Stealth Boy 3001 is a personal stealth device worn on one's wrist. It generates a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other, making a person much harder to notice (but not completely invisible). It was used by the nightkin elite super mutant units of the Master's army.
The AEP7 laser pistol is a military issue sidearm, as opposed to the civilian Wattz 1000 laser pistol commonly found on the West Coast. It is a relatively powerful energy weapon, at least compared to conventional firearms like the N99 10mm pistol or the Chinese pistol. With a generous battery size and fairly decent damage output, it's a very good choice for a sidearm and indeed it's used extensively in this role by the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave in the Capital Wasteland.
Butch DeLoria is the Vault 101 bully who harrasses the Lone Wanderer in his or her youth. He is the leader of the Tunnel Snakes gang, though when fellow member Wally Mack sometimes argues that HE is in fact the leader, Butch will not challenge this.
Mr. Brotch informed Butch that his G.O.A.T. exam answers determined him to be a hairdresser, something that amused the long-suffering teacher and outraged Butch, alter proclaiming angrily "I'm a barber, not a hairdresser".
The eyebot is a hovering robot similar to the Floating Eye bot, but with whip-like radio antennas resembling long "whiskers" pointing to its back, like in the Sputnik Soviet satellite, and loudspeakers in the front.
Eyebots are used by the Enclave on the East Coast for broadcasting propaganda, presidential speeches and patriotic marching music to the people of the Capital Wasteland.
The Jefferson Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington, D.C. that is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, an American Founding Father and the third president of the United States.
After the Great War, the Memorial was turned into something that resembles a water filtering facility with low-tech construction all around it and many pipes going in and out. It is not known if the original statue of Jefferson stands or not.
The advanced power armor Mk II, also called Enclave power armor and Black Devil armor, is a model of the advanced power armor used exclusively by the Enclave military forces, developed after the Great War. Like its older brother, the standard advanced power armor it's matte black with a menacing appearance, but with a few significant differences, most prominently an added bulky chestplate (for added protection) and external communication antennae in horns on the helmet. Also, unlike its predecessor, it appears to be composed entirely of lightweight ceramic composites rather than the usual combination of metal and ceramic plates.
Ron Perlman (born 13 April 1950) has worked on all but one of the Fallout releases to date. He is a screen actor as well as voice actor, with much work in both disciplines.
Perlman narrated Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics. He also did the voice for Butch Harris in Fallout.
Mysterious Stranger is a Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout 3 Perk.
In Fallout and Fallout 2, when you select this perk, during each random encounter there is a chance that your character will gain a temporary ally. In Fallout 3, the Mysterious Stranger will appear occasionally in V.A.T.S. mode to lend a hand, with deadly efficiency.
Feral ghouls are those ghouls (humans mutated by radiation) that lost their minds and became aggressive animals. Their minds are almost completely gone and they react mostly on instinct.
Some of the glowing ones also become feral (or some of the feral ghouls start to glow due to exposure to radiation). They are known to use radiation-based attacks on humans.
The Great War (not to be confused with World War I or World War III), started (and ended) in 2077 on October 23rd. It is not known who dropped the first bomb, but that hardly matters. It lasted a very brief amount of time, but was unbelievably destructive. More energy was released in the early moments of that war than all previous conflicts combined.
The situation leading to the war included China invading Alaska, and the United States annexing Canada. The European Commonwealth dissolved and a world wide conflict followed when each country tried to gather what natural resources it could. This period was known as the Resource Wars.
Vault 77 was one of the Vaults created by Vault-Tec Industries, and part of the Vault Experiment. Only one man entered this Vault, which also contained a crate of puppets. Its location is unknown. Vault 77 appears only in the One Man, and a Crate of Puppets comic by Penny Arcade.
The Fallout 3 intro starts in a wreck of a bus, with a Radiation King radio playing the song I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire sung by The Ink Spots. Inside the bus, various familiar items from Fallout and Fallout 2 can be seen, including a rot gut bottle, a super tool kit and Nuka-Cola bottles.
Moira Brown is an eccentric inhabitant of Megaton, and the owner of Craterside Supply. She wants the Lone Wanderer to help her research a guide to the Wasteland that she is writing, as well as scout a nearby Super-Duper Mart for food and medicine.
Moira's personality is extremely chipper; she takes as much delight in talking about what she's doing as possible. She remains inappropriately cheerful in even the most serious of circumstances.
Operation: Anchorage is the first add-on for Fallout 3, and was released on January 27, 2009 for the Xbox 360 and Windows versions. The DLC costs 800 Microsoft points.
In this add-on pack, the Brotherhood Outcasts are trying to acquire advanced military tools, and the only way to enter the vault containing these relics is by completing a military simulation only the player can enter. In the simulation the player fights in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe: the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from invading Red Chinese troops. The simulation is set between June 2076, when the T-51 power armor was first introduced, and January 2077, when Chinese forces were completely driven out of Alaska.
This plasma rifle is a lightweight urban warfare weapon created by REPCONN Aerospace for the United States Armed Forces. The weapon was born out of the Quantum Matter Modulator, a plasma engine component used in the REPCONN Z43-521P rocket, weaponized by the company as part of a contract to replace the aging Winchester P94 design. It was widely used by Enclave soldiers in the Capital Wasteland. It fires bright self-illuminated green bolts of plasma, utilizes microfusion cells for ammunition, and reduces targets to piles of glowing green goo when the killing shot is a Critical Hit.
Two hundred years after the Great War, a Chinese remnant still resides in Mama Dolce's Processing Plant in the ruins of Washington, D.C. Composed of ghoulified pre-War soldiers loyal to the People's Republic of China, the Remnant is oblivious to the fact that its original mission of espionage has become rather pointless in the aftermath of the Great War. As a result, the soldiers have occupied the food processing plant since 2077 and fiercely defend it against all intruders.
The T-45 model of power armor was the first version of power armor to be successfully deployed in battle. These suits were lacking the mobility of later versions (such as the T-51 power armor), limiting the wearer's Agility. The first version to hit the frontlines ran on small energy cells, burning through them at an alarming rate. In response, later versions were manufactured with built-in MicroFusion Packs. The T-4x power armor was originally built by the the United States Military and has become used by many factions including the Brotherhood of Steel and the Outcasts and they each have their own design to their power armors.
While there always was some evidence of the existence of alien life forms, it was very scarce. Until the events of the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta, there was no record of direct contact between humanity and the creatures. Despite this, it is apparent that, with evidence found on Zeta, the alien's have quite possibly been watching Earth and humanity evolve for nearly a thousand years.
The Brotherhood of Steel and Shi have encountered the bodies of alien life forms or their spaceships, as did the pre-War United States government, which kept its alien specimens mostly in Area 51. By extension, the Enclave and Brotherhood Outcasts also have access to alien technology. Finally being encountered in Mothership Zeta, they are small, greenish humanoids that are presented as malevolent creatures that seem to view humanity with contempt and will gladly vivisect their test subjects or keep them in cryogenic storage after torturing them for their scientific pursuits. The aliens' language cannot be understood by the Lone Wanderer.

Transfers: Ulsan Hyundai sign Australian Full-back Jason Davidson
Daniel Croydon June 27, 2019 read ( words)
K League title contenders Ulsan Hyundai have filled their vacant AFC player slot by signing Australian international left-back Jason Davidson from reigning A-League Premiers Perth Glory.

The club announced Davidson signed a two-year deal, but declined to disclose any details of a transfer fee. The 27-year-old, who has 22 caps with the Socceroos, is an attack-minded full-back renowned for aggression and technique.
Speaking about the move on Ulsan's social media, Davidson said: "I came here to win trophies. This is a fantastic step in my career. Ulsan and myself have the opportunity to achieve a lot more."
Ulsan's newest signing spent time in several European leagues including Portugal, England, and Holland before returning to his native Australia in 2018. However, his stay in the A-League proved to be short and sweet, as standout performances in Perth Glory's first ever table-topping season caught the eye of Ulsan scouts, and he was snapped up just one year into his two-year contract.
Davidson also brings considerable international experience with him to the K League. He played in all three of Australia's games at the 2014 World Cup, and was part of the team that beat South Korea in the 2015 Asian Cup Final.

The former Heracles and Huddersfield player will have to compete for his place with the Horangi's existing left-backs Lee Myeong-jae and Park Joo-ho, although both players seem to have fallen out of favour with manager Kim Do-hoon; Lee was the club's top assist-maker last season but has struggled for consistency this campaign, while the 32-year-old Park has often been deployed as a midfielder rather than in defence.
Davidson can count former Socceroos and K League defender Rob Cornthwaite amongst his fans. "He's got brilliant fitness and a very good left foot," said the ex-Jeonnam Dragons player. "He's aggressive and likes to get forward a lot, but first and foremost he's a defender with an excellent sense of positioning."
Cornthwaite certainly knows what it takes to be successful in Korea having spent four years with Jeonnam after a move from Adelaide United, and he backed Davidson to be a success at Ulsan too - "If he gets a good run in the team at the start to settle him in, I'm sure he'll do well."
Ulsan fans will be excited by the prospect of another pacy full-back who contributes higher up the pitch, having already witnessed right-back Kim Tae-hwan's rise to the Korean National Team squad this season. But with the A-League only just starting preseason, fans may have to wait a few weeks til Davidson is match fit.
