CHINA Green growth generates gold as Xi's iconic words on ecology put into practice
Green growth generates gold as Xi's iconic words on ecology put into practice
HANGZHOU, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- The picturesque Yucun Village in east China's Zhejiang Province, featuring buildings with traditional white walls and black tiles, colorful flower fields and exquisite lotus ponds, attracted around 1 million tourists last year, up 10 percent year on year.
Thanks to the adoption of the green growth model putting President Xi Jinping's vision of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" into practice, the once heavily-polluted village in Anji County saw a tourism boom, which became the main source of income for locals.
The concept is also translated as "mountains and rivers green are mountains of silver and gold," or "two mountains" concept in short.
Earlier, limestone processing for cement manufacture used to be the source of livelihood for Yucun residents. But, that came with a cost for the locals -- they had to reel under dusty air and heavy pollution. By the early 2000s, the villagers made up their minds to shut down cement factories to save the environment.
During an inspection tour to Yucun in August 2005, Xi, the then Party chief of Zhejiang, spoke highly of the village's wise move to shut down mines, and put forward the "two mountains" concept that has now become a guiding principle in ecological progress nationwide.
Yucun has adhered to that concept and pursued green development for the past 15 years. Pan Chunlin, a former driver in a local quarry, shifted to homestay business after the mine was closed. The income generated by his new venture is much higher than what he used to earn.
"We are determined to stick to the ecology-based vitalization as people enjoy tangible happiness," Pan said.
In March 2020, Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, revisited the village during his inspection tour in Zhejiang. Hailing the green economy of the village, Xi said that the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" has become the consensus and action of the whole Party and society, and emerged as an important component of the new development philosophy.
"The ecological environment itself is the economy. Protecting the environment is developing productivity," he said.
"We have stepped up the construction of our village after General Secretary Xi's visit in March," said Li Hui, deputy Party chief of the village. "Tourism has generated handsome income for villagers. The per-capita annual income of the village far exceeded 50,000 yuan (7,727 U.S. dollars) in 2020."
Guided by Xi's concept, Anji transformed itself into a model county in environmental protection. The county is also famous for its bamboo industry and its forest coverage rate stands at more than 70 percent.
In recent years, villages in Anji have increasingly tapped into the potential of technology to manage the local environment and achieve green growth. With the improved environment, local organic white tea can be sold at a price of 2,400 yuan per kg.
In Lujia Village, Zhu Renyuan often shows tourists where the local white tea is planted using the phone. Scanning the QR code on the tea packet displays the real-time shot and climate index of the tea mountain.
Zhu has also equipped his tea farm with various technologies to increase yields, such as soil sensors, and temperature and humidity meters, which provide automatic measurement every half hour. Data such as the meteorological index of the farm can be automatically transmitted through the internet.
"Today, the tea farmers rely on the data to plant and pick tea leaves," Zhu said. "The quality and yield of white tea have both improved, and tourists are more willing to buy our pristine product."
China's carbon market opens officially with detailed rules, plans

Gold up on inflation concern
CHICAGO, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Gold futures on the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange rose on Thursday as investors became concerned with inflation.The most active gold contract for February delivery rose 5 U.S. dollars, or 0.26 percent, to close at 1,913.6 dollars per ounce.Investors are now focused on impending government spending increases as Democrats have control of the U.S. Senate, supporting gold.Economic figures released on Thursday are upbeat, preventing golds rise somewhat. U.S. Department of Labor reported the first-time filings for unemployment claims for the week ending Jan. 2 totaled 787,000, below the market expectations and lower than the previous week total.The Institute for Supply Management reported that its services purchasing managers index (PMI) increased to 57.2 percent in December, 1.3 percentage points higher than Novembers figure of 55.9 percent and rising for the 7th consecutive month.Silver for March delivery rose 21.9 cents, or 0.81 percent, to close at 27.261 dollars per ounce. Platinum for April delivery rose 14.4 dollars, or 1.3 percent, to close at 1,124.6 dollars per ounce.
First detector array put into use at China's new-generation cosmic ray observatory
Photos: Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of SciencesBEIJING, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- The first detector array at the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), sitting 4,410 meters above sea level, has been built and put into operation in the wilderness of Daocheng, southwest Chinas Sichuan Province.According to the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the water level at the No.3 pond has reached the required standard, which means the construction of the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA) has been completed.In the pond, water Cherenkov detectors are installed to form an array and are submerged in strictly purified water. Transparent pure water allows the detectors to clearly catch the signals generated by high-energy particles.The WCDA, comprising three ponds, has 3,120 detector units and 6,240 photosensitive probes. It is like pulling up a "sky net" on the plateau to observe the light produced by the particles in the water.Cao Zhen, a chief scientist of LHAASO and researcher at the IHEP, said that worldwide the effective detection area of the WCDA at LHAASO is four times larger compared to the next-largest device of its kind. It can detect gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts, gravitational wave electromagnetic counterparts and other high-energy radiation signals with transient characteristics inside and outside the galaxy.Besides the WCDA, LHAASO is designed to have wild-field Cherenkov telescopes, muon detector array and electromagnetic particle detector array, which are expected to make it a world-renowned cosmic ray research center.Discovered in 1912, cosmic rays are still largely an enigma. They are direct samples of matter from outside the solar system. Physicists are still pondering where they come from and how they can be accelerated to ultra-high energies.Since most cosmic rays are charged, their paths through space are deflected by magnetic fields.

You might be thinking to yourself, another rhubarb recipe? I hope you aren't, but if you are I get it. I have rhubarb coming out the wazoo right now so have been experimenting a lot with it lately. I am also simultaneously trying to clear out my freezer of last year's fruit to make room for this year's and last June I did some serious strawberry-picking and thus still have it in abundance in my freezer. So when I found another awesome-sounding recipe for a strawberry-rhubarb combination I knew it was meant to be.
This time I bring you a cobbler with a cornmeal biscuit topping. The cornmeal topping made it a bit lighter than traditional cobblers so in turn I did not feel guilty eating it for breakfast and dessert in the same day. I love it when that happens!
I'm the blonde child with the giant red Solo cup that is partially obscuring my cousin's face in this image. Sorry cuz. Looks like I was way more into the grape Kool-Aid or whatever that dark liquid is in the background than I was into smiling for the photo. Sorry about that Mom. You and Aunt Sarah look great. You make the 80's look stylish.
But I totally appreciate the fact that my mom let us experiment in the kitchen and also just that she was such an amazing baker and mom and still is.
Her standards are peach, blueberry, or apple pies, but she must have made strawberry rhubarb pies back in the day too. I realized this today when I ate a bite of the strawberry rhubarb pie I made and it totally brought me back to my childhood and tasted like summer all at the same time.
Thanks for always being an inspiration Mom.
Preheat oven to 425. Combine all of the above ingredients in a bowl. Pour mixture into pie shell (see below for pie crust recipe). Place top pie crust over filling and crimp around the edges to seal to bottom crust. Slice vents into top pie crust. Cover the crust with aluminum foil to prevent crust from burning. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes more or until crust is golden brown. Let cool for 2 hours before consuming.

These 7 little mistakes that can cost you a tax audit
Editor 2019 Tax September 11, 2020
Income declared by taxpayers is deemed to be correct… until proven otherwise. To make sure of this, the tax authorities simply compare our declarations and the information transmitted by what it calls the "paying parties", and in the first place the employers. Since the implementation of the pre-filled declaration, the tax authorities thus receive 250 million data items, which cover, according to the deputy Valérie Rabault, "more than three quarters of the useful information". So there is little to be gleaned on this side. Suddenly, the administration dissects the appended declarations (property income in particular), inheritances and tax reductions, which cannot be cross-checked by "paying parties". Detailed review of these elements that can trigger a tax audit.
EXCEPTIONAL REVENUES
The introduction of the withholding tax (PAS) in January gave rise to a future hotbed of recovery. For this first year of PAS, the taxation of current 2018 income is canceled by a tax credit, the CIMR. But not the exceptional income, which is taxed. The problem, analyzes Bernard Monassier, notary and vice-president of the Cercle des fiscalistes, "is that the texts are not very clear and that it is the taxpayers themselves who must sort out exceptional and current income". Olivier Rozenfeld, president of Fidroit and trainer of tax specialists and bankers, also foresees "a lot of errors and interpretations. Even professionals are tearing their hair out, because this transitional period is simply a nightmare! In addition, some taxpayers may be tempted to disguise exceptional income as current income. The administration estimates, internally, that it will have to correct between 200,000 and 300,000 "optimized" declarations.
TOURIST RENTAL
It is also a novelty for 2019. The development of Airbnb has pushed thousands of French people to transform themselves into hoteliers and many have failed to declare this income. In Paris, where the City Council has gone on a crusade against unregistered donors, more than 2 million euros in fines have been imposed on unscrupulous owners. They also received a notification of tax adjustment, which for some exceeded 30,000 euros. Some have also migrated to Leboncoin, which does not require prior registration …
It is an inexhaustible source of redress. In particular through the land deficit. This device makes it possible to deduct from its property income, then from its overall income, a large part of the maintenance costs of a property. The tax authorities tend to consider that, from a certain amount of work, the owner no longer does renovation (deductible) but reconstruction (non-deductible). "There are many tax cuts and tax credits in real estate which are grounds for adjustments, more because of their complexity than a real desire for fraud on the part of the beneficiary", recognizes Vincent. Drezet, spokesperson for the Solidaires public finances union, who also indicates that these are businesses appreciated by the agents, because they "require little effort and that they are asked to make a figure".
THE INDUSTRIAL GIRARDIN
This device, which consists of financing equipment for an overseas company, allows an immediate tax reduction of about 20% of its stake. But it is a delicate arrangement, because the financier, in spite of the subscription of insurance, remains responsible for the good use of the material. "Better to go to a firm that has been doing this for a long time," advises Fabrice de Longevialle, tax expert and editor of Comment Paid Less Taxes (Editions Eyrolles). To get started, you have to be white-blue on the rest of your statement, because that of the Girardin user will always be at the top of the pile … Tax exemption devices, complex operations sometimes offered by unscrupulous pharmacies, have always been a good source of redress. The investment in solar panel farms (canceled four years ago) has thus left a very bad memory, with more than 3,000 tax adjustments, of which several hundred are still in progress …
THE PEA FOR BUSINESS CREATORS
It is possible to put the securities of his company in his share savings plan (PEA). After five years, their capital gains are exempt from tax. Many start-up creators have placed securities of their company at convenience values in their PEA. Which increase tenfold, even a hundredfold, when the company is sold a few years later. "Bercy is very upset against these practices and systematically attacks by wanting to tax 100% capital gains", summarizes a lawyer who has already handled ten cases of this kind, "for several million euros in total".
There is also a problem of capital gains for company directors who receive free shares. These capital gains are normally taxed on acquisition and then on disposal. But if the declarant or the company omits to declare the acquisition (which is often the case when the company is foreign and the beneficiary is then working outside France), the tax authorities will tax 100% of the capital gain, without allowance, with 40% increase and late payment interest. "The firm is currently defending a client who has received an adjustment of several hundred thousand euros," confirms Steve Jakubowski, lawyer at Picovschi.
They trigger an automatic check: "This is what we call checks on event pieces," explains Vincent Drezet. The registration of the inheritance transmission immediately leads to the search for declarative inconsistencies. The sale price of a property is compared to its value in the IFI declaration (real estate wealth tax) and to its market value. This explains why Emmanuel Macron had to raise, last year and at the request of the tax authorities, the value of his residence in Le Touquet by 15%.
CIVIL REAL ESTATE COMPANIES
The SCI (real estate civil societies) are for the tax authorities diabolical instruments, which considers that they allow both to evade the tax and to transmit a property without paying duties. Typically, specifies Olivier Rozenfeld, "a saver creates an SCI subject to corporation tax to buy usufruct on housing. The income from this usufruct will be taxed at IS and not at its marginal income tax rate ". A significant gain since the tax will be 28% whereas it would have been, for a very wealthy taxpayer, more than 65%: 45% tax at the marginal bracket, up to 4% exceptional contribution on high income, plus 17.2% social security contributions.

Contacts: Office of the Governor: Alena Yarmosky, Alena.Yarmosky@governor.virginia.govOffice of the Governor: Alena Yarmosky, Alena.Yarmosky@governor.virginia.gov | Virginia Economic Development Partnership: Suzanne Clark, (804) 545-5806, Sclark@yesvirginia.org | KMR Aviation Services Inc.: Robert Day, (434) 237-7077, bedayinva@aol.com
KMR Aviation Services Inc. to invest $1 million to expand operation
RICHMOND – Governor Ralph Northam today announced that KMR Aviation Services Inc., an aviation management company, will invest $1 million to expand its operation in Bedford County. The company will purchase its 7,200-square-foot leased facility and add a new repair center to build and assemble components on location to accommodate its growing client base. The project will create 12 new jobs.
"It's exciting to see a small business like KMR Aviation Services reach this next phase of growth, and the company's success is a testament to the business-friendly environment in Bedford County," said Governor Northam. "My administration is always glad to promote the success of businesses of all sizes in the Commonwealth, and we look forward to watching KMR Aviation reach new heights in Bedford County."
KMR specializes in leasing, certifying, selling parts, and providing maintenance solutions for the global airline industry. With six current employees, the company offers services to such clients as the ProFlight Zambia and other global customers.
"The aerospace industry has a rich history in Virginia, and we are proud to offer multiple degree and training programs to support this sector throughout the Commonwealth. These factors make Virginia a great fit for a young company like KMR Aviation to thrive," said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Esther Lee. "A skilled workforce is vital to a healthy economy, and we're proud KMR will benefit from the services of the Virginia Jobs Investment Program as they expand this important operation in Bedford County."
"KMR appreciates the investment the Commonwealth of Virginia is making in our company, working in conjunction with Bedford County," said Paul Marten, Co-Owner, KMR Aviation. "Expanding our business will allow us to offer an added layer of advisory and technical services for our growing customer base. As we grow, we also plan to make use of resources provided in Virginia. We give special thanks to Traci Blido and the rest of the Bedford County Economic Development team in handling the coordination of the various governmental agencies to make the grant possible, as well as providing information that can benefit us in the future. It's great to be in an area that is truly interested in community growth and is concerned about its people."
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with Bedford County to secure the project for Virginia. The Virginia Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission approved $35,000 in Tobacco Region Opportunity Funds. Funding and services to support the company's employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, and the Region 2000 Workforce Development Board will provide financial assistance for apprenticeship related instruction.
"We're proud to assist KMR Aviation, which has built a strong international reputation in the aerospace maintenance and certification industry," said Mickey Johnson, Bedford County EDA Chairman. "Adding quality jobs in Bedford County is always a plan we welcome."
"Central Virginia has all the important elements to attract high paying jobs," said Senator Steve Newman. "The announcement today by KMR is another great example. There will be high quality jobs for our citizens. I am grateful to KMR Aviation and the governor's office for their work to make this happen."
"KMR Aviation is reaffirming its confidence in our region by expanding its operations in Bedford and creating more jobs," said Delegate Kathy J. Byron, Chairman of the Research & Development Committee of the Virginia Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission. "The Tobacco Commission is pleased to do its part in making KMR's expansion in Bedford County a reality. This collaborative effort between the Commission, VEDP, the Region 2000 Workforce Development Board, and Bedford's Office of Economic Development and EDA is a great example of how good things can become a reality when we're all working together."


One thought keeps spinning round my head and has been for a while now. There are too many social networks for global participation to be practical. The core problem is that each site has their own list of your friends. This list is usually referred to as the social map and for the idea of social networking to really become a permanent part of the Web this aspect needs to be extracted and standardised.
Social networks are the current hot topic. The concept is simple: you tell a site that you know other users of that site, and they confirm it. This creates a connection between you and opens up a world of possibilities that range from active and passive recommendation and interaction (think Facebook) to making it easier to get introduced to friends of friends to expand your social circle (think LinkedIn in addition to Facebook).
The type of information stored about you and your connections varies from site to site, but there are common themes. These usually include basic profile details (name, email, location, etc) and for your connections the type of relationship (relative, colleague, etc). What would be great is if there was a central place where this information could be stored and shared securely between the various social networking sites. You set up your friends once and every site you use can then apply social features to your account.
One of the requirements that leads on from that is needing a unique ID that can be shared between these sites. There's already a system that works like that - it's called OpenID. So this is basically my idea: add the common social map aspects of social network sites to an OpenID provider and either extend the OpenID API or create a new API to enable access to that information. Your OpenID then becomes a SocialID.
So here's the sequence. You sign up for (or already have) an OpenID. You enable the SocialID extension with your provider. You connect with other SocialIDs in the same way you connect with other users on sites like Facebook. Note that there is no need for the people you're connecting with to be using the same SocialID provider. You complete your social map by adding metadata about your connections.
A new social networking site comes out that you decide to try out. You sign up using your SocialID. The site recognises that you have a social map at your SocialID provider and gives you the option of using it. You say yes and the site then grabs the SocialIDs of all the users in your social map and checks to see if they've got an account and boom, your social network is built and available with that site without needing to tell it about your connections.
Any site is free to store extra information against any of their users, but they also have a responsibility to write any info that the SocialID provider can store back to that service. Any user can update their social map using any of the sites they are members of, and potentially also with the SocialID provider themselves.
I'm no expert on OpenID, in fact I will freely admit that I only understand the basics, but I can't see anything stopping such an extension being added to it. However it should be noted that essentially all SocialID is doing here is providing the unique ID for a given user. It already has this requirement at its core so it makes sense for SocialID to take advantage of it.
Anyways, that's the thought that's been going round the back of my mind lately. What does the world think?


The autumn of 1918 brought with it the prospect that The Great War would end in a few of months. Soldiers and citizens were beginning to feel uplifted again, and plans were underway for post-war celebrations. The annoyance of catching a cold was nothing in the scheme of things. But what no one realized was that this was not an ordinary cold; this was an influenza virus that would leave between 20 to 40 million people dead around the world within the next year! That's more than all who died during World War One.
One-fifth of the world's population would come down with what was being called the "Spanish Flu." (The name was the result of the more than 8 million who died from it in Spain.) But it was believed that the virus began in China in the autumn of 1917, and spread slowly around the world during the spring and summer of 1918. How did the flu virus get to Europe from China? Recently a Canadian historian discovered that 96,000 Chinese laborers were sent to Europe in the fall of 1917 to assist with work behind the Western Front.
And the virus spread easily. Any one who had caught the flu was a carrier releasing the virus into the air whenever the infected person talked, coughed, or sneezed. Medical personnel realized that this flu killed quickly. There were numerous reports of people going to work in the morning, becoming sick, and being dead by nightfall. One medical expert said that the type of pneumonia that set in was the most dangerous he had ever seen with patients suffocating on the bloody foam that lined their airways.
More than half a billion people were infected around the world with the most deaths occurred during October and November 1918. And there were no known medicines to stop its spread. (The first flu vaccine came about in the 1940s.) This virus would become the most devastating epidemic ever recorded in world history, to date.
In the US, more than 675,000 Americans died of the flu – 28% of the population. This virus was different from past viruses. Instead of taking its toll mainly on children and the elderly, it attacked those between the ages of 20 and 40; that was the unexpected demographic dying in large numbers. Native Americans were also extremely hard hit. And many who survived The Great War came home only to succumb to the influenza virus.
In fact, adding the number of soldiers returning home from foreign lands, and the number of parties and celebrations planned for Armistice Day in the US, and the virus continued to spread quickly through the end of 1918. To make things more difficult, those returning home from the war came with battle wounds, chemical weapon burns, and what we now know as PTSD. Hospital and doctors were already short-staffed and overworked when the affects of the flu began to be felt.
By the summer of 1919, the Flu Pandemic was coming to an end. Years later, researchers would discover that what fueled this severe outbreak was a combination of things: abysmal sanitation and hygiene conditions, poor nourishment, and overcrowding in military camps and hospitals, and in cities and towns, once the disease spread.
Today, flu vaccines and super antibiotics help reduce the possibility of another severe flu outbreak worldwide. But there is always a chance that a virus will rapidly mutate and medical science could be caught short of having the necessary treatment at hand. In fact, experts say it's only a matter of time before another flu pandemic occurs.

Egypt's super hero
By Sonia Farid Tuesday, 30 July 2013
In a new Egyptian sit-com that combines fantasy with absurdism and science fiction, a scientist manages to create a formula that gives human beings superpowers. The scientist injects this formula into a man who swiftly becomes a national hero.
The Hibiscus Man, so called because hibiscus is the main component of that formula, is instantly regarded as the solution to all the country's problems. He starts with everyday issues like traffic jams, road accidents, and bread queues. Then he is sucked into the world of politics as he becomes the winning card for any political party or presidential candidate that he agrees to support.
He gains international acclaim when he beats his arch-foe Spider Man in a wrestling game closely followed by the White House. There is no doubt that this is bound to change the balance of power between Egypt and the United States.
It is not possible to deny the role the general played in saving the Egyptian people from an unfathomable abyss, but he cannot be made to look like the epitome of the second revolution.
Sonia Farid
The whole story could pass for the perfect refreshment following a long day of work, heat, and fasting. It is the ideal comic break from the ever-depressing political situation, but there is more to this farcical depiction of man-turned-superman than meets the eye.
The Hibiscus Man, which is also the name of the series, is a protagonist that is a savior capable of putting an end to Egypt's ordeal by virtue of the paranormal powers he possesses. It is, in other words, a tongue-in-cheek way of making it clear that Egypt needs a miracle and that no rational course of action can work at this moment.
Fact and fiction
So far there isn't a problem, for art is the craft of the imagination and nobody could blame you when you make humans fly and animals talk. The problem starts when you mix fact with fiction and start imagining that superheroes are around the corner waiting for the chance to save the day the way they do in American Armageddon movies.
There is no way to tell if the makers of this series were projecting on current events especially because the series must have been filmed a while before the latest developments.
However, what seems to be certain is that the character of the Hibiscus Man either predicted the turn of events following the June 30 protests, which is impressive, or simply aimed at highlighting the Egyptian people's ability to confuse reality with legends and to create demi-gods of human beings with regular and sometimes limited abilities.
Personally, I can see this happening with the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces who started to acquire mythic proportions the moment he announced the end of the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It was amazing how less than an hour later people carried posters of the general and placards with slogans that glorified his wisdom heralding a new utopia under his auspices. It is not possible to deny the role the general played in saving the Egyptian people from an unfathomable abyss, but he cannot be made to look like the epitome of the second revolution.
Put simply, he would not have been able to oust the president had it not been for the millions who took to the streets without whom it would have been an illegitimate military coup. I am not also questioning the man's genuine desire to rid the country of a ruling clique that was bound to lead it to perdition, yet it was practically impossible for him to act singlehandedly and that is why there is no reason he should take all the credit.
However, it is hard to blame him for the people's over-emotional reaction to his role in ridding them of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Moreover, it is hard to assume he was seeking personal glory and it is equally hard to pretend he had no role in maintaining this kind of relationship with the people. This was clear in the way he personalized the struggle against the crimes committed by the former president's supporters when he called upon the people to "delegate" him to "eliminate violence and terrorism." Two days later the people rallied in compliance with his request and in affirmation of his indisputable power.
The response of the people
The response was as peculiar as the request since both assumed that the general would be doing the people a favor and that is why they needed to ask. Both parties totally overlooked or blinded themselves to the fact that it is the army's duty to protect national security and to act in accordance with this duty whenever a threat appears imminent. This is regardless of whether or not the people decide to be part of the equation.
The general has transformed himself from the commander of an army who is responsible for an entire nation to a patriarch in charge of protecting a bunch of family members. Combining a professional and personal role is just another way of creating a new dictator who always makes sure to remind his "subjects" that it is out of the kindness of his heart that he is fending for them.
Certainly, to different degrees both parties are to blame, for they both seemed to have signed a pact where one party played on the other party's weakness and that other party gladly responded to that maneuver.
The commander was fully aware of the willingness of the people at this stage to create a superhero. What's more the people made sure not to let him down. Both might mean well but good intentions are not really effective at these critical times.
Motives aside, it is absolutely necessary that he stops acting like he has a magic wand and it is equally necessary that the people stop waiting for the moment that this wand could change their lives.
In Western cultures, children are quite shocked when they discover that Santa does not exist and that it was their parents who filled their stockings with gifts. In Eastern cultures, adult citizens remain unable to cope with the shock that their leaders do not possess any out-of-the-ordinary powers. Children have an excuse, adults don't. Almost all children get over the trauma; many adults are still unable to.

Discussion in 'MacBook Pro' started by sclough, Jun 14, 2009.
I'm aware of the differences between the 9400M and the 9600GT. The reality is that I do nothing that's graphically intensive and that I would always use the 9400M for battery life. Here's my question: We occasionally hook up my MBP to the tv either to run Hulu full screen, or to rent a movie through iTunes and run it full screen. My Early 2008 never had a problem, but of course it has the 8600GT. Now, our tv setup is pretty low tech. It's a 30" regular old tv. We don't have a flat screen or HD or any of that stuff as we don't watch tv very much. My question is would the 9400M have any problem running full screen video to the tv in my setup?
It will show that TV who is boss.
Thanks. I know this is sad since I'm a programmer, but I know very little about tv's. However, it's nice to know it works for my uses. Out of curiosity, is the 9400M enough to power the newer HD tv's that run 1080 and such or is out of it's league on that kind of video?


What sparked your interest in health and wellness? I was in search of happiness really, I wanted to feel good and live my life to the fullest, when I started practicing yoga just simply as a way to keep fit I very quickly realised that it was so much more than a physical exercise. I became so much healthier on the inside too. When you really are happy from the inside out, it's not a chore to be healthy, I wouldn't have it any other way.
How did you build your passion for healthy living into a career? I remember being in this amazing yoga class a couple of years ago and I had a light bulb moment, one month later I went to India and started to study with my gurus, five weeks later I was back in London, a fully fledged teacher and it grew and grew from there.
Who inspires you? My mum, all the amazing people around me who manage to balance so many aspects of life. I'm very inspired by people who put their soul into what they do and from that create a life they dreamed of. Just like you Ella!
Favourite quote? Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
What is your biggest achievement so far? Ahhhhh, there have been so many exciting moments and I hope so many more to come. I think it would have to be when I completed my first teacher training in India, it was so hard, I cried all the time, it changed my life!
Have you always been into fitness or was it something you learnt to enjoy in recent years? I loved to dance when I was a kid and then I became a real tomboy. I have always loved sport, I taught volleyball in Brazil when I left school! That was mad!
What's a typical daily workout for you? Yoga and I have just newly started Pilates.
Where do you get the inspiration from to develop so many unique forms of exercise routines? There are so many amazing yoga teachers, so sometimes from classes I've been to, sometimes from a piece of music, sometimes from messing around in the living room with sequences!
What's the one piece of equipment you can't live without? My yoga mat!
What are your favourite ways to stay active? Cycling, I cycle everywhere, I love going for walks in the park, I love badminton and of course yoga!
Lunch: some amazing kind of salad, usually with sweet potato and quinoa and beetroot, that kind of style mmmmm..
Dinner: I spend so much of my day being active, sometimes I teach 4 classes, practice 1 and cycle around 7 miles so I literally eat a really balanced dinner of whatever I fancy on the evening. I'm vegetarian so I get my kicks out of ice cream rather than steaks!
What's your favourite dessert? Gelato!
Where are your favourite places to eat? I love the food in Italy so much, but in London, I love a good Vietnamese.
Where's your favourite place in the world? Definitely somewhere Far East, I loved India and Sri Lanka.
Describe your perfect day! Wake up, meditate, go to a yoga class, eat a beautiful brunch with my boyfriend, hang out in the sun and teach a beautiful yoga class to some amazing yogis.
Do you have any favourite tips and tricks to stay healthy and happy everyday? Sit with your eyes closed, check in with your breath and be still, just five mins a day. Don't look at your phone in bed, make it a no phone zone and write down three things you are grateful for every single morning before you get out of bed.

Prescription drug abuse a growing problem at West Virginia University
Posted: April 3, 2013 at 11:18 pm
By Katiann Marshall, Katherine Heath and David Perry
Last semester, a student at West Virginia University passed out in class, slamming his head face down in the desk. He was unconscious for two hours. The night before, he and a couple of his friends had snorted Klonopin, a powerful anti-anxiety medication. He snorted five pills before driving home, swerving the entire way, too messed up to realize he shouldn't be driving. He woke up the next morning with a huge gash in his forehead and no recollection of the night before. He went to the emergency room where he was told that he had overdosed and was only a pill or two away from dying.
The WVU freshman is among a growing number of students at the university who are abusing prescription drugs. They are part of a larger epidemic in West Virginia, which has among the highest rates of prescription drug overdoses in the nation. More people are killed every year from prescription drug overdoses than from car accidents in West Virginia, and the problem is especially acute among the state's younger residents. West Virginia reported the ninth highest rate of prescription drug abuse in the nation among 18 to 25-year-olds, according to a 2011 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration survey.
"I have seen a huge increase in prescription pill abuse in the past couple years in Morgantown," says Sergeant Bryon Hennessey of the Morgantown Police. "I don't think young adults these days quite understand the impact that this type of experimentation can have on their lives."
Most of the overdoses in the Mountain State result from the misuse of prescription painkillers such as hydrocodone and oxycodone. But stimulants like Adderall and Vyvanse, which are prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit disorders, are also commonly abused by university students. Many students believe that these stimulants will help their academic performance, but they are not as aware of its serious side effects, such as depression, anxiety and even suicidal behavior.

Many WVU students also pop anti-anxiety drugs that quickly become addictive, such as benzodiazepines like Ativan, Klonopin and Xanax. Students often mix these sedatives with alcohol and prescription painkillers, which can lead to blackouts and trouble breathing. The actor Heath Ledger is among many young people who have overdosed on a mixture of sedatives and painkillers in recent years.
"[Young people] have the misperception that prescription medications, because they are obtained legally, do not represent a significant risk," says Dr. Herbert Linn, assistant director of research at the WVU Injury Control Research Center. But they do, he adds.
"I have a friend who took 7 pills of Xanax and drank and drove. He drove and wrapped his car around a pole," says another freshman at West Virginia University who asked not to be named. While this student survived, others don't. More than 500 West Virginians died from accidental prescription drug overdoses in 2010 alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
In a study by the Partnership for a Drug Free America, fewer than half the teenagers surveyed saw a great risk in experimenting with prescription medicines. Experts say that's because they grew up at a time when pharmaceutical companies spent billions on advertising powerful psychoactive drugs directly to consumers, often hiding the negative effects of the drugs from the public. In the 1990s, doctors on key government advisory boards, unaware of the addictive nature of painkillers like Oxycontin and Vicodin, liberalized guidelines for prescribing these drugs. That, in turn, prompted an exponential increase in doctors prescribing them. It also created a generation of 18 to 25-year-olds with rates of abuse three times as high as older adults, earning them the label of "Generation Rx."
"First time use among many in this generation often occurred in the home, or in a friend's home, because more and more homes had prescription painkillers in their medicine cabinets," says Dr. Linn.
According to the CDC, the amount of prescription painkillers prescribed in the United States is enough to medicate the entire adult population in the United States for one month continuously.
Data from the CDC shows that states with higher rates of prescription drug use have higher rates of prescription drug overdoses. In 2008, West Virginia, New Mexico, Nevada and Florida were among the highest in rates of both prescriptions and overdoses. Graph by David Perry
Prescription drug monitoring programs have now been put into place in an effort to curb the abuse of prescription painkillers in West Virginia and other states. Electronic databases allow physicians and pharmacies to identify patients who are getting multiple doctors or pharmacies to fill prescriptions, a practice known as doctor shopping. However, the usage of these databases is inconsistent at best, critics say.
"Although [these databases] have been effective in identifying patients engaged in doctor and pharmacy shopping in some states, such programs need to be used routinely in order to be effective," says Linn.
"Not all states require prescribers and pharmacists to check the databases. Even where such requirements are in place, enforcement may be an issue," adds Linn.
In Florida, a state with high prescription drug sales, use of the database by physicians and pharmacies is not mandatory. The Tampa Bay Times recently reported that only eight percent of the physicians in the state of Florida opt to use the database. Many of the painkillers sold on the street in West Virginia come from pain clinics in Florida.
Information in databases usually isn't shared among states, allowing patients who use multiple doctors and pharmacies in different states to get multiple prescriptions.
College students abuse drugs in part because they are at an age when they feel they are invincible, Hennessey says. But for too many young people, that invincibility is an illusion.
"No parent drops their kid off at college thinking they are going to get a phone call saying their child is in the hospital from an overdose," Hennessey says. "Parents like to think they know and trust their kids to make good decisions, but when it actually happens to you and your family, it's truly devastating."

Professor Horace, Cryptozoologist, by author/illustrator, Kevin Scott Collier, is a fun rhyming book for kids. It is a playful introduction to some mythical and legendary creatures that kids may have heard of, such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and a Ropen (flying dinosaur). Professor Horace seeks out these creatures, but promises to keep them secret. Kids will enjoy the rhyming, the fun of the hunt, and see the importance of promises made and kept. The illustrations are great for "what do you see in this picture?" I heartily recommend this for beginning readers who like mysterious and mythical creatures.

The Dodgers-Eagles game was not the first football game NBC had televised; earlier that same year on 30th September, NBC had televised [[Fordham Rams 34-7 Waynesburg Yellow Jackets (lost footage of college football game; 1939)|a college football game between Fordham Rams and Waynesburg Yellow Jackets]]. Having broadcast that game, NBC were looking to break further ground by televising a professional match.

Walz in an interview with ''Football Digest'' stated that commentating for and televising the game had challenges. For Walz, he lacked monitors, spotters and any visual aids, and was fully reliant on the cameramen to follow his commentary and capturing where he pointed to. This also proved difficult, because the game commenced during a cloudy day, meaning whenever the sun moved behind the stadium, the cameras would lack enough light for the picture to be seen. When the picture was optimal, Walz decided that the best way to commentate on television was to comment on the game differently compared to radio, including describing plays, line-ups, and tailback cut, with accuracy a must to ensure that television could be sold. Walz also noted that a monitor was on the field, with him suggesting that the Dodgers' coach Potsy Clark was experimenting with scouting via television.<ref>[https://profootballresearchers.org/archives/Website_Files/Coffin_Corner/03-03-062.pdf ''Football Digest'' interview with Allen "Skip" Walz concerning the first televised NFL game.] Retrieved 9 Oct '21</ref> Despite some parts of the game being essentially a radio broadcast, including the post-game interviews, the television audience proved to be loyal throughout. The game was televised in-full to television sets across New York City that could access NBC's experimental station W2XBS, and in the RCA Pavilion at the New York World's Fair during a special event. Sources conflict concerning the number of viewers; ''Football Digest'' and the NFL stated 1,000 viewed the game,<ref>[https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-celebrates-80th-anniversary-of-first-televised-game-0ap3000001068673 ''NFL'' detailing the first televised NFL game, claiming 1,000 viewed it.] Retrieved 9 Oct '21</ref> but the ''Pro Football Hall of Fame'' and ''The Eagles Encyclopaedia'' claimed only 500 did.

Q: Can the count data be used to calculate Kernel Density Estimate? I have the number of amino acids in cytoplasmic domain for enzymes and non-enzymes for CD proteins.
I want to generate a probability density distribution for enzymes and non-enzymes using their number of amino acids in cytoplasmic domain. I think the number of amino acids is a discrete variable (count data). In that case, can I use kernel density estimation to calculate the probability density for enzyme and non-enzymes?

My goal is to compare distributions and determine whether at a certain amino acid count (for example, 200) a CD protein will be more likely enzyme or non-enzyme. Also, I want to statistically determine how much likely it will be non-enzyme compared with enzyme in terms of probability.
I calculated kernel mass estimation using associated kernel estimation (Ake) package in R. However, my problem is I could not determine the probability of a CD protein with all cytoplasmic length from 0 to 1090. This becomes a huge problem for me because I am trying to predict the probability at any positive integer points from 1 to 1098 and beyond.
Here are the kernel mass functions for enzyme and non-enzyme.

By Cordwainer Smith
Few science fiction writers present us with a bigger puzzle than
Cordwainer Smith (1913-1966), an eccentric figure from the golden
age of sci-fi who retains a small but devoted cult following today.
Was Smith a brilliant thinker or mentally ill?
Was he an artist or an ideologue? Was his
body of work a unified vision or a disparate
jumble? Above all, did he see himself as
a writer of fictional stories or could it be
that he believed that his fanciful narratives
were, in some sense, true accounts based
on his personal experiences?
The strangest piece of information about
Cordwainer Smith—a pseudonym, one of
many employed by Paul Linebarger—comes
from a psychological case study published
in 1955, which described the "psychosis"
of a patient who experienced vivid visions
of life in outer space, incidents that the
individual believed were real, not imaginary.
The preponderance of evidence suggests
that our sci-fi author served as the basis for this case study, which
was included by Dr. Robert Lindner in his book The Fifty-Minute
Hour. Although final confirmation eludes us, the idea that Smith
believed himself capable of out-of-body experience beyond the Earth
may provide us with insights into the peculiarly intense nature of this
writer's fictional works.
Indeed, many of the stories in The Rediscovery of Man—which
collects virtually all of Smith's shorter science fiction in a volume of
almost 700 pages—are pushed ahead by events that happen inside
people's heads. In several stories, he develops the concept of
characters who don't exist in their own right, but are the projection of
other characters' minds. In the tale "Nancy" he even holds nuptials
between a spaceship captain and a woman who is merely an
embodiment of his ideas about the opposite sex—and, yes, it is a
very happy union…at least until the spaceship gets back home. In a
series of novellas about Casher O'Neill, who
plots a revolution on his home planet,
the hero learns how to project different
facets of his inner life as individual allies
who can assist him in battle. In other
cases, the mental leaps do not result in
concrete manifestations—as in the many
stories here in which telepathy and mind-
reading play a key role—but the locus of
action still remains in the mental sphere.
At this point, I should probably mention
that Linebarger's most influential work
was not necessarily any he wrote under
the name Cordwainer Smith, but may have been his study
Psychological Warfare—a book that boasts its own cult following.
Even a used paperback copy of this work can bring in hundreds of
dollars on the web. And for good reason. Linebarger's career
involved him in behind-the-scenes Cold War operations; by one
account, his efforts in Korea led to the surrender of thousands of
enemy combatants—seasoned troops whose training and values
made them unlikely to wave the white flag. In his book, Linebarger
suggested that
famous short story, "Scanners Live in Vain," Smith describes a guild
of space pilots who are required to cut off much of their neural
hardwiring—rendering them deaf-mutes—in order to withstand the
"Great Pain of Space." The story is strange and deeply unsettling on
many levels, yet clearly demonstrates the extravagant inventiveness
of Smith's conceptual fictions. Even so, I am not surprised that, when
Smith submitted it to John W. Campbell, Jr., who presided over the
magazine Astounding Science Fiction, the editor replied that is was
"too extreme" to publish.
But the imaginative excesses of the plots cannot hide the deep
metaphysical constructs at the heart of Cordwainer Smith's work. A
recurring philosophical and moral issue constantly takes center stage
here: namely, what it means to be a person. In Smith's universe—a
sociopolitical construct that he describes as the Instrumentality of
Mankind—this concept of personhood cannot be taken for granted.
The main characters are sometimes "real persons," with similar DNA
to you and me. But just as often, they are "underpersons"—a generic
term for modified animals. Many of these have become almost
indistinguishable from humans, and in some instances they
demonstrate superior intellectual, moral and physical qualities to the
human characters; yet they are denied the basic rights and respect
accorded to people. In still other instances, we encounter humans
who have been genetically altered to meet the exigencies of different
planets…or robots of humanoid appearance…or mixtures of animal
parts with mechanical and electronic technology.
This may sound like the bar scene in Star Wars, but in fact Smith is
acutely sensitive to the ethical and sociological issues presented by a
blurring of the concept of personhood. Time and time again in his
stories, he focuses on the struggle of one or another group to
achieve the perks and prerogatives that are denied them because of
how society classifies their state of being. Sometimes these
accounts reflect political issues of Smith's time (and our own)—and
one can interpret these tales in terms of civil rights movements,
apartheid and other headline stories of the day. In other instances,
he reaches for religious symbolism in describing these social
movements, and many have noted the Christian overtones of some of
his work—yet this is not the Christianity of the modern-day, but more
the underground movement of the early Roman empire, hidden in
catacombs and potentially subversive.
In a wildly inventive short novel from 1964, "The Dead Lady of Clown
Town," the catacomb metaphor is powerfully realized. Smith amplifies
on his key philosophical themes, and here again the author stands
out for his extreme effects. He takes more than sixty pages to tell the
story of a revolution that "lasted six minutes and covered one
hundred and twelve meters." From one angle, Smith—who in his day-
to-day life was an expert on Chinese affairs, and had Sun Yat-Sen as
a godfather—seemed to be anticipating the Tiananmen Square
protests of 1989 in this story. Yet the symbolic resonance of this
story, one of the finest science fiction works of the 20th century, goes
beyond any purely political interpretation.
Unlike the vast majority of science fiction stories, "The Dead Lady of
Clown Town" is not just filled with provocative concepts, but is
daringly experimental in its appropriation of unconventional narrative
techniques. Some of the action is told in a straightforward manner,
yet key scenes might be relayed in the lyrics of a song, the
description of a snippet of film, testimonies taken down years after the
events, and other indirect ways. Here, as elsewhere in his oeuvre,
Smith is especially fond of starting his stories at the end and working
backward—he is even willing to slip in "spoiler" details in his opening
pages, trusting in his ability to maintain suspense in other ways.
Needless to say, this focus on the metaphysical and psychological
made Smith an atypical personality in the world of science fiction. In a
surviving letter, from 1948, which accompanied his submission of
"Scanners Live in Vain" to Fantasy Book, he felt compelled to
apologize for the story: "This is more 'literary' fiction than pulp fiction
but I have hopes that your magazine, being off-trail, might be
interested in using it." To sweeten his submission, Smith included a
check for $3.00 for a subscription and a stamped, self-addressed
envelope for response, before closing with a request that the
magazine publish more works by A.E. van Vogt.
But the real issue here is not that Smith's story is 'literary.' That is
hardly the word that comes to mind upon reading his work. Rather
his imaginative universe is so unconventional, and at times so
austere—his fascination with the coldness and emptiness of remote
space almost borders on an obsession—that it seems like a
realization of some quasi-monastic worldview rather than a
springboard for fiction of any kind. Other authors have dealt with the
conquest of space, perhaps as well or better than Smith; but none
has done a better job of conveying the psychic aspects of the
renunciation of the home planet that is the flip of side of this same
story. After you strip away the action and conflicts on the surface
level of these tales, an ascetic tendency can be seen to run through
this author's entire oeuvre.
After reading through this lengthy collection of stories, you will be
struck by the apparent unity of vision in Smith's work. Even an early
story, such as "Scanners" seems to anticipate elements that would
appear in other stories written fifteen years later. By the same token,
any reader trying to come to grips with Smith's one full-length novel,
Norstrilia—the only major sci-fi work of his not included in this
volume—will hardly understand its nuances without having spent time
with these shorter fictions. One can't help wondering on the overall
connections between these stories. Did Smith work out all of the
details of his imaginary universe at the start of his writing career? Or,
even stranger to consider, did he experience them in some out-of-
body way?
On the other hand, very little repetition takes place in these stories.
Very rarely does a key character from one story play a major role in
another one—although minor characters do reappear with regularity.
Even the recurring themes take on new dimensions as Smith's work
evolved from the 1940s to the 1960s. And the unity of Smith's vision
seemed to coexist comfortably with the abundance of creative
ingredients, fresh new angles, and surprising shifts of scene, century
and galaxy—each calling cards of his style. It is that very quality—the
endless ingenuity of our author as he piles up strange element upon
strange element—that stands out as the most salient trademark of
this author. If in fact, he did feel as if he had lived these stories, at
second-hand or even first-hand, then one can only marvel at the
richness of such an interior life—and be thankful that these stories
survive as testimony.
a country's superiority versus hostile parties
could be based on an ability to "out-trick them,
out-talk them, and out-maneuver them." Can
we be surprised, then, that Smith's sci-fi work
espouses a similar belief that the most significant
battlefront is often one drawn inside our psyches?
By the same token, Smith employs a range of
writing techniques—sometimes arcane narrative
structures or, at other points, peculiar plot devices—
that similarly aim at restricting or eliminating the
flow of empirical data that serves as the constitu-
tive element for most works of fiction. In his most

You Can't HAVA Federal Relief in a Local Recount
By Robyn Hagan Cain on April 27, 2012 4:02 PM
If there's one thing that we learned from Bush v. Gore and the 2000 Florida recount, it's that recounts lack order.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reached a similar conclusion this week, finding that federal law does not mandate ballot recount methods in elections for non-federal offices, reports Metropolitan News-Enterprise.
What's interesting about this case is that Congress acted after the 2000 presidential election to head off another recount kerfuffle, passing the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) in 2002. HAVA § 301, however, does not apply to state and local elections, according to the Ninth Circuit.
In 2006, plaintiff Martin Crowley was a candidate for Justice of the Peace in Churchill County. After finishing first in the primary election, Crowley lost the general election by 26 votes. He was granted a recount.
Crowley, who was present for the recount, alleges that several HAVA violations occurred during the process. He sued the county, seeking declaratory judgments that the Nevada Secretary of State violated HAVA, the recount was botched, and an independent overseer should be appointed for future elections.
The district court dismissed Crowley's declaratory relief claims for failure to state a cognizable private claim because "declaratory relief claims are within the express purview of the United States Attorney General's enforcement," and HAVA § 301 -- the relevant part of the law in this case -- did not create a private right of action for declaratory relief.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed. Judge Richard Tallman, writing for the three-judge panel, held that "even if HAVA § 301 confers a federal right in a contested federal election, Crowley would not be a member of the class intended to benefit from the right because the recount provision of HAVA § 301 was not intended to benefit voters or candidates in local elections. Therefore, the district court correctly granted summary judgment for the defendants."
Recounts are an inevitable in most election years, but candidates running for state and local office will be have to rely on state laws when challenging the recount process.

Every four years, the world's best footballers gather to determine who will be the winners of soccer's most prestigious award, the World Cup.
Soccer is the most watched and most played sport in the world, enjoyed by billions of people. The last World Cup in 2002 was watched by an estimated 33 million people for almost 27 days, making it the most watched single sports event in recorded history. This may be a reason for the countless number of soccer posters available. Whether you're looking for soccer posters of past heroes or present players, you're bound to find a poster of your choice. I hope you enjoy my soccer posters as much as I enjoy the game!
The effects of World War II prevented the World Cup from being played in 1942 and 1946.
Elite soccer players have made the World Cup their stage and some have made their World Cup performances very memorable. Here are just a few of the more memorable players from World Cup history.
Roberto Baggio – (Roberto Baggio's homepage) Played in his first World Cup in 1990 in front of his country of Italy. He and his trademark ponytail lead the Azzurri to the finals in 1994, only to be heartbroken and defeated in penalty kicks. He was named 1993's World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year.
Pele - Brazil's greatest export, Pele is credited with making football famous. Pelé played in four World Cups: Sweden 1958, Chile 1962, England 1966, and Mexico 1970. He scored 12 goals in 14 World Cup matches. Pelé was named Athlete of the Century by the world's combined National Olympic Committees in 1999, though he never played in the Olympics himself. He officially retired in 1977.
David Beckham – Beckham started playing with English super club Manchester United in 1994 and was recently traded to La Liga's Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 35 million euros. Becks is known for his spectacular field skills and good looks. He was recently named captain of the English national team, after service as vice-captain.
Maradona – He played in his first World Cup tournament at the age of 22 in 1982 when he was already considered one of the best footballers in the world. But four years later he led the Argentine national team to glory, as captain. In all, he played 21 games in four World Cup appearances. 1995 presented him with the Golden Ball award. His goal in the '86 World Cup against England was chosen as the best goal ever in football history. In 2000, he was elected FIFA's Best Football Player of the Century.

When Geoffrey Baker, a music professor at Royal Holloway, University of London, traveled to Venezuela to work on a book about El Sistema, he was expecting to write a predictably upbeat account of the country's much lauded classical-music education system.
"I thought I was doing a feel-good piece of academic research," he recalled in a recent interview. But he said what he discovered over the course of a year of research and interviews surprised him.
"Bit by bit, I got a picture that was very different from the one I expected. I certainly didn't go in there with the intention of writing the book that I wrote. Had I known how it would turn out, my jaw would be on the floor."
An in-depth study that draws provocative conclusions, "El Sistema: Orchestrating Venezuela's Youth" is bound to raise eyebrows for its often unflattering depiction of how the organization is run.
El Sistema was founded nearly four decades ago by Jose Antonio Abreu, and provides free music education to hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged students throughout Venezuela. In recent years, the program has received glowing coverage from the international media, including a profile on CBS' "60 Minutes."
The organization's most famous alumnus is Gustavo Dudamel, the 33-year-old music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Dudamel also heads the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra, which consists of El Sistema students and alumni, and has toured internationally with the group.
The new book, published by Oxford University Press, purports to offer a counterbalance to El Sistema's formidable publicity machinery. Baker, who specializes in Latin American music, said he spent 12 months researching his book in Venezuela, interviewing people throughout El Sistema, focusing mostly on students and musicians on the ground level of the organization. Many of the interviewees agreed only to be quoted anonymously, for fear of repercussions.
The author recently spoke by phone from London. Here are excerpts from the interview.
The book portrays a climate of fear in El Sistema where there's zero tolerance for criticism.
El Sistema has a monopoly on classical music in Venezuela. Abreu is famed for his intolerance of criticism. There are many stories of people who have crossed him, and have been blacklisted and fired. Everyone depends on El Sistema to a degree and to go against it is professional suicide. None of these people would have spoken to me on the record. They were saying strong things. Anonymity was a first step to opening up.
You depict Abreu's leadership style as autocratic.
His word is law. Directors within El Sistema are his proteges who have worked their way up, some since they were teenage musicians. It's not a normal professional organization where you hire people from the outside for their expertise. He's the one with the baton, and if you disagree with that, you're out. This is how conductors work. They rule the show and decide everything.
A lot of the global media coverage of Abreu has been one-note adulatory. Do you think they got it wrong?
Absolutely. Most journalists don't have time to spend a year researching. This allowed me to see different sides of Abreu -- it took months and months. People don't like talking about this with foreigners. There was some suspicion. That image has been constructed very recently -- it's been constructed in the international arena, at a time when El Sistema has achieved its global fame, around 2006. He's achieved and maintained power in complex circumstances. People see him as a politician -- a schemer and manipulator, someone who has a thirst for power in many ways.
How does Dudamel fit into all of this?
He's not someone I was interested in all that much. He's an absent media star in Venezuela. He's a figure head for this social project, and at the same time, he's advertising Rolex watches. It's revealing: El Sistema does fit very nicely into the star system of the global music industry. I don't think people think beyond the possible contradictions -- it's a project based on helping the poor, where all the top people are touring the world and being stars. One of the things that became clear to me, despite the official rhetoric, is that El Sistema funnels its resources all to the top. In many ways, that's obvious, but in what sense can this be described as a social project aimed at the poor?
In the book, you describe the internal culture as a kind of false meritocracy, where getting ahead depends on one's personal connections.
This is prevalent throughout Venezuela. Who's my lever? Who knows somebody? The further up you go in El Sistema, the more opaque it becomes. You can't get to the top of the organization if you don't have the leverage.
The book contains an account of sexual relations within El Sistema.
These orchestras are very tight-knit groups. They spend hours together each day. They know their personal lives inside and out. I've heard stories of students going on dates with their teachers or directors of their musical schools, and teenage students becoming pregnant from their instructors. If I had heard this secondhand, I would dismiss it as scuttlebutt. But it's quite clear that this is the general atmosphere. Different countries have different norms about this kind of thing. The line between consensual relationships and abusive ones is different in different countries. In Venezuela, it's much more gray. I think it's a problem in a system where leverage is so important for getting ahead.
Your book also discusses El Sistema's relationship with controversial politicians like the late Hugo Chavez and the current president, Nicolas Maduro.
It's very complex. They made a decision to be closer to the government when Chavez came to power. There are pros and cons to that -- more funding, and they get the resources and support. In terms of expanding the program, that's been great. But the downside is that they are a branch of the government. This has caused tension in the program -- musicians are trotted out to play at official ceremonies for leaders, and this can be a problem especially if musicians are from different sides of the political spectrum. In a society that is as divided as Venezuela's, what they lost was their independence. Anything they do is going to be criticized by half the country. That's the price they pay. They have alienated a lot of people because it's a very divided people. A lot of people can't stand that Abreu is in cahoots with the government. Some people would say that Abreu had no choice, and that may well be true. But we can say there are consequences to what he's done.
Did anyone from El Sistema ask you to stop your research?
No, I was treated very well and everyone was very nice to me. In Caracas, it wasn't possible to visit schools on your own. I was escorted. They rolled out the red carpet for me. In the provinces, the restrictions didn't apply. By the time I realized that things weren't as they seemed, I was careful about the questions I asked.
Do you expect you'll be welcomed back by El Sistema in the future?
I don't know, and I wouldn't want to say. As things stand, I would say no. But it's a huge program and there are a lot of good people.

Melania Trump fed elephants, visited with orphans and wore a hat reminiscent of colonialism on the fourth day of her African tour

On the fourth day of her African tour, first lady Melania Trump bottle-fed elephant calves, went on a safari, visited an orphanage, and had tea with Kenya's first lady.
She received some criticism on Twitter for wearing riding boots and a pith helmet that evoked the colonial era of Africa's history.
Video also showed a Secret Service agent running to her aid when a baby elephant started charging toward her.
First lady Melania Trump had a dramatic fourth day on her African tour.
She touched down in Kenya on Thursday night for the third stop of her six-day visit, her first major solo international trip as first lady.
She spent her first full day in the country on Friday bottle-feeding elephants, going on safari, visiting orphans, having tea with the Kenyan first lady and taking in a performance at the Nairobi National Theatre.
The day was eventful in more ways than one. First, the first lady was nearly trampled by a baby elephant. Then she was ridiculed on Twitter for wearing a pith helmet, a look typical of turn-of-the-century imperialists, to go on safari.
First lady Melania Trump kicked off the fourth day of her African tour with a visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
She was given the opportunity to bottle-feed and pet orphaned elephant calves during the visit.
At one point, one of the calves started charging the first lady, which caused her to lose her balance.

A Secret Service agent ran to Mrs. Trump's aid to strop her from falling.
Luckily, the baby elephant was quickly calmed and Mrs. Trump laughed the incident off.
After the visit with the baby elephants, the first lady was taken on a short safari through Nairobi National Park.
According to the pool report, the first lady spotted a rhino and a buffalo on the short safari.
During the visit to the park, she also visited an ivory burn site, where illegally obtained elephant tusks were destroyed to discourage the poaching of the endangered animals.
At several points during the safari, the first lady took out her cellphone to take pictures of the wildlife.
The first lady received some flak on Twitter for her outfit, which evoked Africa's colonial past.
Pith helmets, like the one Mrs. Trump wore on safari, were often worn by the imperialists who divided the continent up amongst themselves at the turn of the century, putting most Africans under European rule.
Many on social media commented that the outfit was less than appropriate for the occasion.

Later in the day, Trump visited The Nest orphanage in Nairobi where she was greeted by a gaggle of dancing children.
The children that are cared for at the facility have parents who are incarcerated.
Like her first stop at a hospital in Ghana, the first lady handed out teddy bears and blankets with her initiative's motto "Be Best."
Students at the center gifted the first lady a scrapbook in return, according to the pool report.

In mother mode, the first lady held several of the babies at the hospital.
In the afternoon, Trump had tea with Kenya's first lady, Margaret Kenyatta.
The two first ladies posed for a photo together under the portico of the Kenyan statehouse.
After tea, the first ladies then took in a performance at the National Theatre.
Many local children were in attendance at the afternoon performance.
Trump and her counterpart took to the stage to take pictures with the performers before ending her busy day of public appearances.
The next and final stop of the first lady's six-day trip will be Egypt. She returns to Washington, DC on Sunday.

Trial pushed back for Red Bank officer indicted in violent 2014 arrest
April 20th, 2016 | by Zack Peterson
Mark Kaylor, the former Red Bank police officer indicted in March 2015 in connection with the violent arrest of a Hispanic man, was supposed to go to trial Tuesday.
But attorneys decided earlier this month to cancel that agreement and turn Tuesday's appearance into a disposition date. During such an appearance, attorneys typically introduce a plea agreement, set a trial date or pass the case. The case was passed Tuesday, and Kaylor will return May 24 to Hamilton County Criminal Court for a status hearing.
"And that status is to pick a trial date," attorney Lee Davis said.
Mark Kaylor
The two-year saga began when Kaylor was involved in a violent traffic stop in April 2014. Dashcam video shows Kaylor punching Candido Medina-Resendiz in the arm and face while other officers pinned the man, stun-gunned him, and tried to handcuff him. At one point, while Kaylor lies on top of Medina-Resendiz, he claims he's going to "[expletive] kick your ass." The ordeal left Medina- Resendiz with a swollen-shut eye, a fractured eye socket, and cuts and bruises on his cheeks.
Kaylor, meanwhile, was commended for his restraint. The Red Bank police internal affairs cleared him of wrongdoing. And Medina-Resendiz was indicted on charges of simple assault, resisting arrest, and driving under the influence. Then, District Attorney General Neal Pinkston saw dashcam footage of the arrest and requested the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation launch a probe. That was September 2014.
Kaylor took two weeks of vacation. Then another man — Anthony Lopez — came forward and claimed Kaylor beat him up during an August arrest. Pinkston, after reviewing the TBI's investigation, took the case to a Hamilton County grand jury in late February 2015. A few days passed. Then, hours before he was indicted on charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and official misconduct, Kaylor resigned from the Red Bank Police Department.
"Due to some trials they had going on at the courthouse the last few weeks, Pinkston and I discussed the case," Davis said Tuesday. "And based on the logistics of cases, we had to put it over. In the interim, we just put it over for a settlement. It doesn't mean anything. We're still looking for a trial date."
Davis added he has witnesses and jurors to accommodate. In the meantime, Kaylor's pending case has frozen other litigation, too.
Medina-Resendiz and Lopez filed separate lawsuits in Chattanooga's federal courthouse, each claiming the Red Bank department created a protective culture for officers with prior episodes of misconduct. They both requested punitive damages for the pain they suffered. But both cases have been put on hold until Kaylor's criminal charges are resolved, records show.
"If the criminal case were to run super long, the judge might let it go forward," Medina-Resendiz's attorney, Kyle Mothershead, said of the federal lawsuit. Otherwise, everyone is waiting for May 24.
