Gujarat riot myths busted
Author: Abraham Thomas

The so-called human rights activist, Teesta Setalvad - who paraded the Gujarat riot victims before the Supreme Court and claimed they had been denied justice - suffered embarrassment on Monday after a Special Investigation Team (SIT) gave sufficient grounds for the apex court to doubt the authenticity of incidents highlighted by her NGO Citizens for Justice and Peace.
The SIT, headed by former CBI Director RK Raghavan along with former DGP CB Satpathy and three senior IPS officers - Geetha Johri, Shivanand Jha and Ashish Bhatia - had been entrusted with the enquiry into post-Godhra riot incidents in Godhra, Gulbarg Society, Naroda Gaon, Naroda Patiya and Sardarpura.
Senior advocate Mukul Rohtagi, appearing for the State, read out portions of the report that refuted the petitioner's charge of the State's complicity in the riots.
Pointing out a specific instance, the SIT report stated how the evidence of 22 witnesses was "suspect" owing to the identical submissions made in their affidavits submitted to the court. On enquiry, the SIT found that all the 22 affidavits were drafted, typed and printed from the same computer, giving sufficient grounds to believe they were "tutored". When the SIT questioned those who signed the affidavits, it was shocked to learn that these complainants were not even aware of the incidents.
Referring to another instance that exposed the Citizens for Justice and Peace's much 'trumpeted' charges, Rohtagi said the SIT investigation found untrue allegation about a gangrape of a pregnant woman Kauser Bano, whose stomach was allegedly pierced by sword and her foetus killed.
Even the instance of dumping of bodies into a well at Naroda Patiya and a charge of the police allegedly shielding accused persons in murder of a British national was found to be untrue, Rohtagi said.
Firing a salvo at the NGO, Rohtagi said, "It is clear from the report that the horrendous allegations made by the NGO were false. Cyclostyled affidavits were supplied by a social activist and the allegations made in them were untrue," he added, with an obvious reference to Setalvad.
The NGO's counsel Aparna Bhatt objected to such comments being made on the strength of the report, which had also added several persons as accused in the case. Refusing to be drawn into the slanging match between the opposing parties, the Bench headed by Justice Arijit Pasayat said, "In riot cases, more the delay, there is likelihood of falsity creeping in. So, there should be a designated court to fast track the trials."
The court asked the State Government, petitioners and amicus curiae senior advocate Harish Salve to suggest recommendations on these lines. Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium, appearing for the Centre, suggested selection of public prosecutors on consultation from the SIT. Salve informed the court that the matter would be taken up with the SIT. Based on a suggestion by another NGO petitioner counsel Indira Jaising to evolve a witness protection system, Salve assured that the same would also be discussed in the light of the sensitivity attached to the case. The bunch of petitions was posted for further hearing after next week.

Final straws on a pile of worries
Many kids with ASD have 'triggers' for major meltdowns. Or at least that's the way it seems. It was long ago that I figured Anthony couldn't possibly have as many 'triggers' as it appeared. Everyone has days where things seem to be stacked against them and we have a 'what else could possibly go wrong today' feeling.
At any moment we could come across the final straw that breaks the camel's back. For Anthony though, it's as if he never really gets rid of this load. He wakes up with a pile of straw already bearing down on him so that just a few small issues are just too much, and...snap.
Anthony's load only gets larger throughout the day. The unexpected, sensory difficulties, feelings of not doing things right or well enough are all added to issues from yesterday, and the day before and so on. We had such an example at the weekend.
Anthony was attending a club that he goes to twice a week. The club has recently changed their sign in sheet by adding a 'surname' column. To Anthony's credit he noted the change and proceeded to add his surname. Unfortunately the box was a bit small and Anthony was unable to fit his name into it. This small detail was Anthony's last straw.
As a parent facing this issue, I've got two approaches. Lightening the load and avoiding the last straw. It seems almost impossible to avoid every scenario that could present the last straw to Anthony. However, we get clues that his load his feeling heavy and when he is having a hard day. He becomes very sensory seeking, lacks focus and is quick to become emotional.
On these days we can try to maximise routine so he is presented with the expected and try to avoid anything to tasking. Even with this we can't avoid everything and we don't want to. So, we make efforts to help him keep him strong, his load light and where possibly discard some of it.
Anthony can be very concerned about butterflies and moths because their movements are unpredictable and erratic. Please let's no even talk about bees or wasps. We can't stay inside all spring and summer so instead we have to help Anthony manage and cope with how he feels about them. He still needs help remembering the strategies we teach him but he copes more often than he used to and as a result has fewer meltdowns.
I grinned a few days ago when we found a moth near the bathroom window. Anthony declared to his younger unaware sister, "Don't worry about the moth Jane. They are like butterflies. They move very fast but they won't hurt you." Well done, Anthony, that's one less straw today.

Taxes will heavily depend on whether you are on an "ex pat assignment" (you are still being paid by your employer out of the US) or whether you are on a "local contract" (paid by the company locally in Australia). Likely an ex pat assignment contract will already include provisions for your US taxes as well as the local taxes you will owe in the other country, but a "local" contract will only consider the taxes you will owe to that country. The US is the only country in the world that taxes their citizens on their WORLDWIDE income. So even though you may earn every penny in other country on your local contract, the US wants to tax you for it. Fortunately there is a "foreign earned income tax" exclusion that you can apply for that will prevent the US from taxing you for the first $80,000 but above that value you will be taxed by both countries. Furthermore, to get this exclusion you have to meet certain rules, the first and foremost being that you can only be in the US for 35 days/year. So if your employer plans to send you back to the US for business, get them to write provisions into your contract regarding the number of days of travel in the US - or get them to write in the contract that they will pay the excess taxes if you go over the 35 days.
Keep a local US address - find someone in your family who you can have all of your mail forwarded to and whose address you can use on your US tax forms.
We recommend that you negotiate into your employment contract that your company pays for a local tax expert to do your non US taxes every year you are there; if you are on an ex pat assignment, ask for them to pay for doing your taxes in the US as well. The laws and rules in most other countries are different than the US and making them pay for an expert will save you time and money; it is a vital part of taking an overseas job.
The US requires that if you have a foreign bank account every year you must file a form with the Treasury Department to list all the foreign bank account numbers you own. This is all a terrorism check but if you don't file it, you can go to jail - so best to file. Ask you tax accountant about this, as this is quite important.
Foreign branches of banks do not talk to their branches in the US. For all intents and purposes, they are totally different banks. You can wire money back and forth between your accounts (with associated fees), however it is easier to live with the separate accounts. Bring enough money (cashier's check, ATM funds, and cash on you) to get started; plan on extra money as a safety net for things you did not plan on or expect (potentially a few thousand dollars). The bank will take about 2 weeks to clear your cashier's check. Visa/Master Card/Amex work everywhere and are a lifesaver. Set all of your bills and banking up for online banking and bill paying - it will save you time and effort and give you full view access to your US accounts from far away.
Paying your bills in a foreign country is not at all like in the US and arranging for car and home/fire insurance can be a challenge. Be friendly when you arrive and try to build a network of people who will help you figure this out.
The US tends to move people based on the weight of their goods, but overseas most will do it based on volume. Have your movers come and estimate the volume of your household goods and then you get a feel for how much will fit in a new "smaller" place. You should ask the mover's if they will move food, spices, wine, or alcohol. We have heard of some ex pats (especially those with kids) whose movers would move food and the packed literally boxes upon boxes of cake mixes, mac and cheese, etc. You should box up things like you favorite hair products, soaps, and facial products. Just put it in a box labeled books and the movers did not ask any questions. The best thing is to find out exactly what they will NOT move up front. We also suggest doing a major purge of your house before the move. Most apartments/houses outside of the US are not as big or spacious as we are used to - so you will have less room to work with.
When some people open boxes with blankets, clothes, and sheets, they smell weird. Be prepared to do a lot of laundry and dry cleaning those first weeks after getting your goods. Just be prepared as this is something most people do not expected.
If you plan on coming back to the US, might leave any valuable goods (antiques, paintings, etc) with your family. Boats have been known to sink; containers have fallen off ships in bad weather, and while these items are insured, they could be lost forever.
Leave most of your electronics in the US. Your TV, stereo, microwave, washer/dryer, blender, even alarm clock, hair dryers, and telephones will not work on the power in many foreign countries. Accept the fact that you will need to buy these goods locally and sell them before you come back to the US. The one exception is a DVD player - note your US DVD's will not work on an foreign DVD player as your dvd's are coded for the US (region 1). For example, Australia is either region 2 or maybe even region 3. You can buy a "universally coded" dvd player at Best Buy/Circuit city, but it will still run on 120V power (maybe they now sell one that will run on 240/60). You can buy a "step down transformer" that will have a US plug on the front and the transformer can plug into the wall with the right plug. See exactly what type of plug you need - the UK uses a giant plug with angled pins. We suggest buying some of these step down transformers and a handful of "adapters" for any electronics you have that already accept 240V/60Hz (laptop, iPods, palm pilot - just check the requirements on the device. Do some Internet searching to find the exact electrical requirements in country you are moving to.
Your goods will take 6-8 weeks to come from the US by boat - so be sure to negotiate into your contract that they put you into temporary housing or a hotel until your goods arrive and provide you with a car. Ideally get them to hire a relocation service to assist you in finding an apartment/house when you arrive, as a local who knows the area will help you a lot with all of the rules/laws/contract differences from the US. Leases work differently in every country, so help like this is valuable. Also, search the Internet for an foreign countries' ex pat website. The information on that website will be specific to that country and the tips will help you immeasurably. The Internet is a great way to learn about what is coming your way so you can be prepared.
It is not cost effective to ship a car. Sell your car and buy a new one in your new country. You can read on the Internet that getting your US car imported into another country can take a lot of time and be costly if you have to have special local requirements implemented on your car. For example, Belgium would have required that your speedometer be predominantly in kilometers and not miles, a special fog light setup may have to be installed on a US car, and emissions testing performed. All of it not worth the hassle for your typical US car. Check the laws for importing if you are moving a car though.
Buying a car locally - ask how this goes from your colleagues and friends. From the day you sign the paperwork to buy a car to the day you can drive it off the lot, can take unto 3 weeks in some countries. You paid the money for the car after week 1 and still waited 2 weeks for the licensing and insurance to get sorted out before you can drive the car. Every country is different. Most people naively assumed it would be the same as in the US and ended up paying 3 extra weeks for a rental car that they did not anticipate or budget for.
The US does not use the "international road signs" so you can find these on the Internet and study them before you arrive. You will may have to drive on the "wrong side of the road", which is not hard, but it does take some getting used to. Try to get your hands on an foreign countries' driving manual before you arrive as the rules of the road are different in almost every country. Things like stopping and going at stop signs or lights are the same, but in many countries there is NO right turn on a red light ever! Also cars entering the road from the right always have priority over the main road UNLESS you are on a road with an orange diamond sign which means that the forward going traffic has priority. HOW CRAZY IS THAT??? Welcome to living overseas... weird rules that you as a foreigner don't get and would never guess. This is why a driving manual is very important.
Getting a work permit, temporary resident's visa, your driver's license, and local ID in foreign country is a paperwork frenzy. Get as many of your personal documents together and organized up front (birth certificate, passport, immunizations, etc). Go to a passport photo shop or Kinkos and get like 20 photos made - almost every document in foreign country required a passport sized picture to be attached to the papers. Many work permits also required doctor's "statements of my health" (both mental and physical), a tuberculosis test, a criminal history document from the US law enforcement, getting fingerprinted on special cards and sending them to the FBI to get your federal criminal history.
Lots of paperwork and little costs; things that will take you away from your job in the busiest weeks before you leave, so be prepared. Once you get here, it does not end. The local bureaucracy begins. It can take many trips to the city hall to get your local ID card and your driver's license. You will typically have to go back yearly to renew your work permit and residents card. You may have to forfeit your US driver's license to get a foreign driver's license. It would be a good idea to go to the DMV and get a replacement before you go. Tell them I lost yours and got another one (the address should be one that you know will be able to get mail at while you are out of the country). Keep all of your receipts as these are often reimbursed by your employer and can also be used as moving expenses for your tax preparations.
When you arrive in the foreign country typically you know virtually nobody. It is critical that you find a group of people soon after arriving. Type "Americans (country name)" into Goggle and find some local groups. These groups help you to meet other Americans who are in my exact same situation and who have already crossed the hurdles that you are just going over. These clubs often have "Newcomer" events that will welcome you to the area or subgroups (e.g. American Rotary, Mothers of Young Children, Retirees, Working Women's Group, etc) that will help you almost immediately find other Americans in similar situations to yours. These are a great resource for meeting people, getting answers to your questions, and making friends. The nice thing is that these clubs do a lot of social events and it is a good introduction to the area and to some of the cultural aspects of your new country. These clubs will also sometimes arrange travel tours, which can be a lot of fun.
The reason why it is critical you find people after you arrive is that you will go through a major case of culture shock and homesickness, in waves of strong to weak, for the first year. New job role, new home, new country - it will all build and be overwhelming. Culture shock will happen. Foreigners will simply do things differently than you have ever done them and you will think it is freakish and weird. Early on, everything you do will feel like going over a hurdle. Going to the grocery store was a major hurdle - as all food is written in a foreign language and is in metric measurements. It takes time to figure things out - accept that you will make mistakes and try again.
Just be aware that it will happen, even when the language is not a barrier for you. It is normal - find your network of friends - and they will help you figure out your way through the maze much faster.
There is a series of books called "Culture Shock: (Insert country here)". If they have a book on the country you are going to you might buy it. These are good because they discuss a lot of the cultural differences that you might not be aware of (and there are many!!!). Look on Amazon, I am sure if it exists, they have it.
Have a power of attorney and a will before you leave the US. Have an the attorney look into what could be done to make these documents legally recognizable in the foreign country. It costs more, but you know that if you die tomorrow, someone is legally setup for helping get you returned to the US for burial and to take care of all of your financial assets/debts. This makes a lot of sense and will make it easier for your family, god forbid, if something happens. The only thing you cannot setup is a living will. These are only recognizable by state and are not internationally recognized. You could write one for the country you will be in, however most people have one written for a state in the US that clearly states what they want to have happen if they are in a horrible accident and decisions must be made.
This is a guideline for your family and a statement of your wishes to limit questions should something happen. We also recommend that you ensure that beneficiaries are in place for all of your accounts and financial assets. It will simplify your estate if something happens.
If you do this, I you should find a fantastic property management company that does background checks (criminal) and credit checks on potential renters. Also, get the highest end rental insurance and fire insurance you can buy with replacement cost adjusted for inflation.

Many Medicare subscribers who are on supplemental plans feel like they may lose some of their essential coverage if they try to switch to a different carrier. But that's not something that should worry you. If you have Plan F or any other supplement plan, and you switch to the same letter plan from a different carrier, your coverage will stay exactly the same. The only thing that will change is the Medicare supplement rates in 2018 that you pay.
The only way your coverage is going to change is if you switch letter plans, from something like Plan F to Plan G, or if you change locations. Other than that the plans are identical. For example an AARP Medicare Supplement plan F is identical to a Mutual of Omaha Plan F. Their rates each year, however, are extremely different for the exact same coverage. That's why you should get quotes from Multiple carriers in 2018 to see how much you can save.
And switching carriers can be great for your financial situation, and many of them offer far lower prices than some of their competitors. But you should also know that many carriers don't just have a set rate for each plan. They may also offer rated plans that allow you to customize how much you pay over time.
There are three ratings that can affect Medicare supplement rates for 2018. These are community, attained age and issue age.
With a community-rated plan, you will only pay as much as the rest of people in your designated community. Whatever rate they pay is what you will pay, no matter your age. This rate increases in time, usually annually, but it increases for everyone simultaneously within the same community.
You can have a rate that stays the same from the moment you are approved for it. This would be through an issue age premium. The rate you pay is dependent on the age you were approved for the premium. After that, your rate will never increase because of your age. It will increase based on risk pool and economic factors. If you switch plans or carriers, then your rates may change.
You can start off with a low-cost premium, if you like. These are known as attained age premiums, and they gradually increase as you age. You might pay more over time, but it can be a great way to reduce your costs initially. Smart shoppers will check the rates each year to be sure they're always paying the least amount possible for their coverage.
You can actually switch Medicare supplement plans at any time during the year if you have one now. If you are outside any open enrollment period or a guaranteed issue period then you will have to go through medical underwriting in most states. This means answering questions on the application of the new carrier and having to be approved. Some states like California have a birthday rule where you may switch each year within 30 days of your birthday with no medical underwriting.
Know that rates are going to increase over time if you are not on a plan. If you haven't subscribed to a plan yet or you are looking to change a plan, then you should keep checking the rates to see how they have changed over time. We offer a free method of receiving quotes on all the plans you are interested in. On our website is a free quote generator that gives you instant quotes from all the major insurance providers in your area. You can use it as often as you like to determine how much you are going to have to pay in Medicare supplement rates for 2018 when you finally get the plan you want.


Drought is a problem for peanut production as drought at any growth stage generally reduces pod yield and alters protein and amino acid compositions in kernels. The aim of work was to examine effects of terminal drought on arginine content in kernels of peanut genotypes with different levels of drought tolerance. Five peanut genotypes were planted under two water treatments, field capacity (FC) and 1/3 available water (1/3 AW). Arginine content, physiological traits and pod yield were recorded at harvest. The results showed that drought increased arginine content in sensitive and resistant genotypes, and the increase in arginine content was highest in sensitive genotype (Tainan 9). The variation in arginine content in peanut depended on peanut genotype rather than the level of drought resistance. No correlation between arginine content and drought-resistance physiological traits and pod yield were not found. These findings indicated that arginine content and resistance to terminal drought in a peanut may be improved simultaneously through selection in a breeding program.
The authors are grateful for the joint financial support of the Royal Golden Jubilee Ph.D. program and Khon Kaen University, the Peanut and Jerusalem Artichoke Improvement for Functional Food Research Group, Khon Kaen University and the Thailand Research Fund (TRF) for providing financial supports to this research through the Senior Research Scholar Project of Professor Dr. Sanun Jogloy (Project no. RTA 6180002).

Dischord Releases
20 Years of Dischord
Lyle Preslar's decision to go to Northwestern University in September of 1981 broke up Minor Threat, so the other three members immediately started looking for other bands to form or join.
Ian and Jeff started playing music with their Dischord housemate Eddie and another local punk, John Falls, who had done a short stint as guitarist with Youth Brigade. The band was one of many projects that practiced in the basement of Dischord House and took its name from a nearby grocery store, Grand Union. Ian came across the word "skewbald" in a dictionary and thought it was a better band name, but Jeff stuck by Grand Union. Unable to reach a decision in the matter, the band ended up having two names.
Skewbald would never play a show and the only people who ever saw the band play may well have been Eric and Toni of Red C, who sat in at a practice one day. The band did end up recording three untitled songs at Inner Ear at the same session that yielded "Rozzyln Rangers", the theme song of Dischord House. After recording, the practices came to a halt and John left the picture. Eventually Ian moved from vocals to bass and Skewbald practiced as a three piece a few more times in early 1982, but the project was stopped cold by Minor Threat's decision to reform in April.
The three songs Skewbald recorded ended up being traded around the country on tapes and in some circles were mistakenly considered unreleased Minor Threat songs. Five years later, Dischord released the session to mark its 50th release.

'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Starts Production On Season 4
Late-Night Laughs: 'A Little Late With Lilly Singh' Shakeup Keeps Spotlight On Diversity In Writers Rooms

The diversity of late-night writers rooms is not a new topic of conversation.
For years, these shows have been accused of being too white and too male, and while that still might be the case, there has been improvement across the board both in terms of gender and ethnicity. Progress is being made, slowly, in the right direction.
So, it was nice to see, earlier this week, that the new team behind the scenes at NBC's A Little Late with Lilly Singh was incredibly inclusive.
Chelsea Davison, taking over from Sean O'Connor, leads a gender-balanced and diverse writing team of Vannessa Jackson, a former writing apprentice on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert; Sabeeh Jameel, who was a researcher on The Opposition with Jordan Klepper; Romen Borsellino, co-creator of Freeform's Kal Penn Approves This Message; Nimesh Patel, a former writer for Saturday Night Live who was discovered by Chris Rock; Nelu Handa, a writer and performer on Canadian series Baroness Von Sketch Show; and Natasha Vaynblat, who previously worked at Comedy Central.
The show is now being run by Neil Punsalan, who was recently showrunner of Comedy Central series Doing the Most with Phoebe Robinson and has worked on TruTV's Friends of the People and The Pete Holmes Show, replacing Aliyah Silverstein as showrunner.

This is not to say, however, that the show's previous writing team was not representative, featuring the likes of Marina Cockenberg, Mona Mira and Jonathan Giles among others.
But second seasons of late-night shows are tough, especially for a show that due to Covid-19 has not been on since May. It's positive that, as part of the shake-up, Singh stuck to her belief that she wanted a writer's room that "looks like the world".
Singh told Deadline this summer, "I want many perspectives. I don't want a room full of people that all have the same point of view. I want to make sure that we learn and we kind of are being representative of the world and relating to the world."

There are major benefits of a diverse writers room – it's not just a box-ticking exercise. Giving people with different experiences and voices provides new avenues for comedy. Take Jokes Seth Can't Tell on Late Night with Seth Meyers, for instance, which provides some of the NBC show's biggest laughs.
Late Night showrunner Mike Shoemaker has previously said "You'd have to actively be a dick to not have a diverse show because there are so many candidates."
Late Night writers Karen Chee and Amber Ruffin both told Deadline recently that they believed late-night was becoming more inclusive. Chee said, "Everybody is changing or at least trying to change, or there are people in positions that are trying to make change happen".
Ruffin, who also hosts her own show on Peacock, which features its own writing team of Dewayne Perkins, Shantira Jackson and Demi Adejuyigbe, admitted that there is a "lot of weird racist, sexist gatekeeping" but said that "we are cracking those boundaries."
"Hopefully now there's more of us and people will one day look at late-night and see a bunch of us and it will start to feel more normal and people will expect that and when people aren't getting us, they'll come look for us," she added.
NBC's Late Night Writers Workshop is also helping. This year's virtual workshop, which was organized and facilitated by Grace Moss and Will Schnabel of NBC's Programming Talent Development and Inclusion team, featured the likes of Latinx writer Brandon Burkhart, Iraqi-American writer Reem Edan and Korean writer Sam O, while last year's scheme saw the likes of Shenovia Large go on to write on season two of A Black Lady Sketch Show and Mona Mira join the first season of A Little Late.
But it's not just these shows leading the way. Across the board, people working at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show, The Late Late Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee have told Deadline they are trying to become more inclusive.
As Stephen Colbert said in a TimesTalks conversation in 2018, they had to "take an extraordinary step to get an extraordinary room".

The Big Mouth star, who revealed that he was investigated by the Secret Service for one of his SNL jokes from February, said that he realized during quarantine that he needed structure and asked his good friend Meyers to help. "My psychiatrist, who knows me well, said to me 'Without external structure, I don't have any confidence in you thriving' and she would know because I told her everything about my brain. So, I called Seth and asked him for a job," he told Kimmel. "My jokes are not useful to the show. I try hard to write monologue jokes. There's a rhythm and brilliance to the brevity of a great monologue joke. I'm so bad at it."
Elsewhere, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert had an extended audience with former President Barack Obama. The Promised Land author is on The Tonight Show on Friday, which also had Emily in Paris star Lily Collins on this week to discuss the pronunciation of the Netflix's title.
James Corden had Riz Ahmed on The Late Late Show, to talk about his new film Sound of Metal and how he set up an iconic club night while studying at Oxford University.

Journalists Left Disappointed After Trump White House Cancels Media Christmas Party Again
Journalists for the New York Times and CNN may not love President Donald Trump, but they definitely loved their yearly invitation to the White House media Christmas party — a party that Trump has cancelled, to their great dismay, for two years running.
The White House did not officially announce, this year, that they would not be holding the annual event but, Politico reports, no on on the President's staff put the media party on the White House's official schedule, depriving the White House Press Corps of an evening of fun, frivoligy, finger foods, and photo opportunities.
Instead, select journalists were given tickets for private White House tours.
"The White House Christmas press party was not put on the holiday schedule this year," a White House official told Politico. "[W]e have accommodated members of the media and their families who have asked to see the holiday decorations."
Donald and Melania Trump hosted a scaled-back version of the event in 2017 but cancelled the party outright in 2018, after the Trump Administration tired of its combative relationship with the White House Press Corps. Sensing that hosting a party for their ideological opponents might not be in their best interests, the White House has called time on the soiree again this year, to the great dismay of White House reporters, who once feasted and drank as kings on the taxpayers' dime.
"Journalists who attended the events, which featured a catered buffet of lamb chops, crab claws and elaborate desserts, got to roam the decorated mansion with a spouse or other family member, a friend or a colleague, adding to the invitation's allure," according to Fox News' Howard Kurtz. "But the biggest fringe-benefit was the picture-taking sessions, in which the president and first lady would patiently pose with guests and briefly chat with them in front of a Christmas tree, with the White House sending out the photos — copies of which were invariably sent home to mom. This would take a couple of hours, with long lines snaking across the building's first floor. Bill Clinton even posed for pictures with journalists days after he was impeached."
Reporters complained openly on social media.
"The canceling of the WH media christmas party was a story last year, and now it's just gone and it's not even a thing, like the press briefing and the NYT/WaPo subscriptions," whined New York Times and MSNBC reporter Annie Karni.
Conde Nast's Luke Zaleski called the move emblematic of the Trump Administration's dictatorial tendencies. "Every day. In every way. Trump destroys American institutions while wrapping himself in warped populism and lurching toward dictatorship. if it gets much worse it won't be reecoverable. In fact it might be over already. Just a question of how badly he will cheat in the election," he tweeted.

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) December 11, 2019
CNN likely contributed to the White House's decision to toss the party off the official calendar. Back in 2017, when Trump hosted a more selective version of the annual event, the network invited on two White House reporters who had been very confrontational with the White House to complain that they'd been left off the guest list.

Obedience: The Odyssey To Freedom Essay
885 words - 4 pages
The word freedom is often associated with the idea of an unfettered liberty to select from a range of alternatives coupled with a sense that our actions will not affect our natural state.
Catholic doctrine teaches that our choice is one of rational deliberation and voluntary subjugation to a higher force. This is natural law. Milton envisions the same teaching.
Unfortunately, human nature only lends itself to the assumption of certain abstract concepts such as `natural law', an assumption Milton develops in Paradise Lost. Throughout Paradise Lost, Milton expands upon the teaching that human actions affect human freedom and that this is a consequence of the assumption of the natural law that the Creator owns the created. Moreover, the created freely subordinates itself to its Creator.
Free subordination implies that a being must be free to choose between right and wrong and that it will freely chose according to the will of its Creator. Hence, a creature of the all-good Christian God must chose the good whereas a creature of Satan, id est all evil, must chose evil. This is apparent in the following event in Paradise Lost: Sin, a creation of Satan, chooses evil agreeing to unlock the gates of Hell for Satan, letting him pass, and telling him "Thou art my father, thou my author, thou/ My being gav'st me; whom should I obey/ But thee, whom follow?" (PL II 864-5).
By agreeing to let Satan pass and permitting evil into the world Sin is subordinating herself to her creator. Complications arise when the creation being dealt with is a rational and free creature such as one of the angels or humankind. In such a case, the creature is to deliberate what will glorify his Creator and act according to that deliberation. If the action performed is against God's will, the actor will lose its natural state since it has violated a natural law. The actors, in choosing contrary to God's will, have been subordinated to what is contrary to God, the actor has been subordinated to evil. The creature is no longer free but a slave to evil.
According to Christian tradition, God gives freedom to his creations out of love. In return, He expects obedience, which can only be given to Him through love. Some creatures, irrational creatures such as plants and animals, live in such obedience simply by existing since, regardless of the course of their actions, all their choices are in accordance with their Creator. They fulfill God's will. Since a rational creature has more complex faculties, it is subject to higher expectations; therefore it is given...

The man told police that he had injected roxycodone about six to eight hours before the crash and was driving to Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge with a man who had overdosed at the time of the two-vehicle collision at Emory Valley Road and Lafayette Drive, according to court documents.

Bucks hopeful Giannis calf injury only 'short-term' problem after sitting out loss
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer remains hopeful the calf issue that kept Giannis Antetokounmpo out of Thursday's 97-93 loss to the Toronto Raptors is only a "short-term" issue.
Antetokounmpo was a surprise late withdrawal for the Bucks due to right calf soreness and the reigning NBA champions tasted defeat in his absence.
Milwaukee's eight-game winning streak was snapped by the Raptors, who were fuelled by Fred VanVleet's 29 points.
Following the warm-ups, the Bucks opted to bench NBA Finals MVP Antetokounmpo, with Pat Connaughton starting in his place.
"Hopefully it's something very short term," Budenholzer told reporters after the defeat. "A day or two and hopefully he'll be ready to go.
"We'll just see how the next 24-48 hours go."
Budenholzer added: "I think it's important but we're hopeful it's short term."
Antetokounmpo had scored 40 points with 12 rebounds and nine assists in Wednesday's 127-125 win over the Charlotte Hornets.
Greek superstar Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.6 points – only behind Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry entering Thursday's play, 11.8 rebounds and a career-high 6.0 assists per game this season.

Kyrie Irving says he is enjoying the pressure placed on him due to the absence of Kevin Durant after delivering a match-winning display for the Brooklyn Nets.
Irving had 30 points, three rebounds and seven assists in a 119-118 win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
The All-Star guard is only able to play road games, due to a vaccination mandate in place in New York City. Irving is unvaccinated against COVID-19.
He made his return two weeks ago and is averaging 20.0 points per game.
The onus was very much on Irving in Washington, with Durant missing the game due to a knee injury sustained against the Oklahoma City Thunder last week.
It has been reported that Durant will be out for between four and six weeks and Irving knows he has to step up in his absence.
"I like the pressure," he told reporters. "I love pressure. It brings out the best in me personally.
"Then also I'm able to carry that energy with the team whether it be communicating with guys in short conversations on the floor or off the floor.
"Just trying to demand responsibility from all of us, from myself first, but from all of us, that this isn't going to be perfect. It's not going to ever look perfect.
"This is just what we have, and we can't replace anybody that's out, but what we can do is fill up the stat sheet with the little things that may show up and things that may not show up.
"We'll see where we are at the end of the game when we leave it all out there playing hard."
Irving had initially been left out of the Nets' roster for the season due to his decision not to get vaccinated, though he was recalled when injuries and COVID-19 cases took their toll.
"It feels incredible [to be back]," Irving said. "I don't take one day for granted.
"I know it's difficult at times, not only for just me, but for everyone else, just the monotony coming in every single day working on [our games], but this is what we signed up for when we were playing in fifth grade, fourth grade, this was the dream right here. Just getting on the road and trying to win some ballgames and play at a high level."

INTOXICATED DRIVER ARRESTED AFTER RUNNING OVER TWO TEENS IN FRONT OF HIGH SCHOOL
At 6:30 pm, Monday, calls began to come to the Cleveland Police Department reporting a crash in which two teens had been struck on SH 105 Business in front of the Cleveland High School. The first units arrived on the scene to find a male age 14 and another male, age 16 lying in the roadway next to the crosswalk. A commercial pickup truck was parked a short distance away. A crowd had also started to gather near the driver and began to get unruly until officers were able to control the situation. Medics began working on the pair of teens who suffered critical leg and back injuries. Cleveland Police detained the driver of the truck on suspicion of intoxication. Air Medical was requested and the teens were flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center. According to Cleveland Police, the teens left the campus while attending a basketball game. They walked across SH 105 to Fish Tales for a take-out dinner. They were returning to the basketball game and believed to have been in the crosswalk when the crash occurred. Several witnesses said the same. Since the driver refused a request for a blood draw a warrant was issued. He was taken to a medical facility for a blood draw. Police determined that he struck them on the left side of the truck. There was a dash cam in the truck owned by Hunton Trane. Cleveland Police requested DPS to the scene to assist in the investigation. In addition, Jennifer Bergman with the Liberty County District Attorney's Office responded to the scene to assist as did the Liberty County Precinct 6 Constables Office. Cleveland ISD Police assisted with traffic control. Cleveland ISD Superintendant Stephen W. McCanless was on the scene through the investigation. He was upset not just about his students being injured but the fact TXDOT has the crosswalk poorly marked. The sign telling motorists of the crosswalk ahead is 10 feet from the crosswalk. In addition no caution lights. Student has no sidewalk along the busy highway and with a new subdivision just down the road fears students walking on their shoulders as vehicle speed by at highway speed.

XAP provides a simple Space API using the GigaSpace interface for interacting with the Space.
In the example above, the take operation can be performed without specifying a timeout. The default take timeout is 0 (no wait), and can be overridden when configuring the GigaSpace factory. In a similar manner, the read timeout and write lease can be specified.
In order to write objects to the Space, use the write method of the GigaSpace interface. The write method is used to write objects if these are introduced for the first time, or to update them if they already exist in the Space. In order to override the default semantics, use the overloaded write methods that accept update modifiers such as WriteModifiers.UPDATE_ONLY.
To write an object to the Space with a limited time to live, specify a lease value (in milliseconds). The object will expire automatically from the Space when the lease is finished.
When writing a batch of objects to the Space, these should be placed into an array to be used by the GigaSpace.writeMultiple operation. The returned array will include the corresponding LeaseContext object.
Should be performed with transactions - this allows the client to roll back the Space to its initial state prior to when the operation was started, in case of a failure.
Make sure null values are not part of the passed array.
Verify that duplicated entries (with the same ID) do not appear as part of the passed array, because the identity of the object is determined based on its ID and not based on its reference. This is extremely important with an embedded Space, because writeMultiple injects the ID value into the object after the write operation (when autogenerate=false).
When updating an object that already exists in the Space, in some scenarios it is useful to get the previous value of the object (before the update). This previous value is returned in result LeaseContext.getObject() when using the RETURN_PREV_ON_UPDATE modifier.
In most scenarios the previous value is irrelevant, therefore the default behavior is not to return it (i.e. LeaseContext.getObject() return null). The RETURN_PREV_ON_UPDATE modifier is used to indicate that the previous value should be returned.
An asynchronous write operation can be implemented using a Task, where the Task implementation include a write operation. With this approach the Task is sent to the space and executed in an asynchronous manner. The write operation itself will be completed when both the primary and the backup acknowledge the operation. This activity is performed as a background activity from the client perspective.
Writing an object to a Space may generate notifications to registered objects.
Writes a new object to the Space, returning its LeaseContext.
LeaseContext LeaseContext is a return-value encapsulation of a write operation.
The GigaSpace.change and the ChangeSet allows updating existing objects in a Space, by specifying only the required change instead of passing the entire updated object. This reduces the required network traffic between the client and the Space, and the network traffic generated from replicating the changes between the Space instances (e.g between the primary Space instance and its backup).
The following example demonstrates how to update the property "firstName' of an object of type "Person' with id "myID'.
Read operations query the Space for an object that matches the criteria provided. If a match is found, a copy of the matching object is returned. If no match is found, null is returned. Passing a null reference as the template will match any object.
Any matching object can be returned. Successive read requests with the same template may or may not return equivalent objects, even if no intervening modifications have been made to the Space.
Each invocation of read may return a new object even if the same object is matched in the Space.
If you want to read objects in the same order that they were written to the Space, perform the read objects in FIFO mode.
The read operation default timeout is JavaSpace.NO_WAIT.
The GigaSpace interface provides simple way to perform bulk read operations. You can read a large amount of objects in one call.
Boosts the performance, because it perform multiple operations using one call. These methods return the matching results in one result object back to the client. This allows the client and server to utilize the network bandwidth in an efficient manner. In some cases, these batch operations can be up to 10 times faster than multiple single-based operations.
Should be handled with care, because they can return a large data set (potentially all the Space data). This can cause an out of memory error in the Space and client process. Use the Space Iterator to return the result in batches (paging) in such cases.
Does not support timeout operations. The simple way to achieve this is by calling the read operation first with the proper timeout, and if non-null values are returned, perform the batch operation.
A readIfExists operation will return a matching object, or a null if there is currently no matching object in the Space.
If the only possible matches for the template have conflicting locks from one or more other transactions, the timeout value specifies how long the client is willing to wait for interfering transactions to settle before returning a value. If at the end of that time no value can be returned that would not interfere with transactional state, null is returned. Due to the remote nature of the Space, read and readIfExists may throw a RemoteException if the network or server fails prior to the timeout expiration.
The GigaSpace interface supports asynchronous (non-blocking) read operations through the GigaSpace interface. It returns a Future<T> object, where T is the type of the object the request returns. Future<T>.get() can be used to query the object to see if a result has been returned or not.
Alternatively, asyncRead also accept an implementation of AsyncFutureListener, which will have its AsyncFutureListener.onResult method called when the result has been populated. This does not affect the return type of the Future<T>, but provides an additional mechanism for handling the asynchronous response.
The read operations can be configured with different modifiers.
AsyncFutureListener Allows registering for a callback on an AsyncFuture, to be notified when a result arrives.
The take operations behave exactly like the corresponding read operations, except that the matching object is removed from the Space on one atomic operation. Two take operations will never return copies of the same object, although if two equivalent objects were in the Space, the two take operations could return equivalent objects.
If a take returns a non-null value, then the object has been removed from the Space, possibly within a transaction. This modifies the claims to once-only retrieval; a take is considered to be successful only if all enclosing transactions commit successfully.
If a RemoteException is thrown, the take may or may not have been successful.
If an UnusableEntryException is thrown, the take removed the unusable object from the Space.
If any other exception is thrown, the take did not occur, and no object was removed from the Space.
If you want to take objects from the Space in the same order they were written to the Space, perform the take objects in FIFO mode.
Taking an object from the space may generate notifications to registered objects/queries.
To learn more about the different options, refer to Querying the Space.
The GigaSpace interface provides simple way to perform bulk take operations. You may take large amount of objects in one call.
To remove a batch of objects without returning them back into the client, use GigaSpace.clear(SQLQuery);.

Operation dos not support timeout operations. The simple way to achieve this is by calling the read operation first with the proper timeout, and if non-null values are returned, perform the batch operation.
In the event of a take error, DataAccessException will wrap a TakeMultipleException, accessible via DataAccessException.getRootCause().
A takeIfExists operation will return a matching object, or a null if there is currently no matching object in the Space.
If the only possible matches for the template have conflicting locks from one or more other transactions, the timeout value specifies how long the client is willing to wait for interfering transactions to settle before returning a value. If at the end of that time no value can be returned that would not interfere with transactional state, null is returned.

AsyncFutureListener Allows registering for a callback on an AsyncFuture to be notified when a result arrives.
For further details about each of the available modifiers, see TakeModifiers.
You can use GigaSpace.clear to remove objects from the Space. When using the clear operation, no object/objects are returned.
Clears objects from the Space.
You can use GigaSpace.count to count objects in a Space.
Count objects in a Space.
The ISpaceProxy.Change API allows you to increment or decrement an Numerical field within your Space object or Document. This change may operate on a numeric property only (byte, short, int, long, float, double) or their corresponding Boxed variation. To maintain a counter, use the Change operation with the ChangeSet increment/decrement method that adds/subtract the provided numeric value to the existing counter.
There is no need to retrieve the entire data set from the Space to the client side, iterate the result set and perform the aggregation. This would be an expensive activity as it might return large amounts of data to the client application. The Aggregators allow you to perform the entire aggregation activity on the Space side, avoiding any data retrieval back to the client side.
// retrieve the maximum value stored in the field "age"
/// retrieve the minimum value stored in the field "age"
// Sum the "age" field on all space objects.
// Sum's the "age" field on all space objects then divides by the number of space objects.
// Retrieve the space object with the highest value for the field "age".
/// Retrieve the space object with the lowest value for the field "age".
When running with Java 8, it is possible to have an even simpler Space API with the AsyncExtension. AsyncExtension substituts the Space AsyncFuture with the Java 8 CompletableFuture and thus can make the code more fluent.

This bracelet has to be one of the most regal pieces I've ever had the pleasure of making.
The top stone is Varisite from Australia and the one below is New Lander Turquoise from Lander county, Nevada (USA). Despite being different stones from different countries they seem to match perfectly and sit high on their setting, making them instant attention grabbers.
The whole piece is hand stamped and the band can be slightly adjusted by light bending.


Preparing for a new baby is always going to be a hectic time, especially if it is your first child. There is so much to learn, so much to get ready – including, perhaps, a room for the new arrival. Decorating a new nursery need not be as expensive nor as time consuming as you might imagine, especially when you employ the use of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint on some upcycled furniture and perhaps on the walls too.
Many people will choose to paint a frieze or mural on the wall of a room for a new baby. This is one way to personalise a space and provide plenty of visual stimuli for your new arrival. But time passes faster than you can imagine and soon, that mural may become out of date. Rather than having to make the effort to paint over outdated wall designs, create a large, removable art piece instead. One cheap and easy way to create an artwork is to take an old piece of fabric like a bed sheet and paint your bright and cheerful design onto that. Alternatively, use a large canvas or a sheet of wooden board. Painting a mural that can be moved could save you a lot of time in the long run, as it can simply be removed when your child gets too old for it or you want a change.
There are plenty of other ways to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to get baby's room ready. Chalk paint is so easy to use and does not give off some of the more harmful chemicals that you will get with other sorts of paint, meaning that it could be perfect for new parents to be trying to get things together before the baby arrives. In just one coat you can have new wall colour and paint some reclaimed furniture to fit your scheme.
What could be cuter in a baby's room than a blind that you have personalised with flowers, animals or simple shapes to suit the theme of the room. Perhaps you might even paint an emblem that matches the name of your child. Make the blind a black out one that keeps out unwanted light and this is also a very practical way to dress the windows.
Why waste time finding the perfect, soothing light for baby's room when you could re-purpose and adapt one you already own or create your own from old fabric or an upcycled object. Painting sections of a fabric shade could allow you to get creative with how shadows are cast on the walls.
Now you have all the big elements together it is just a case of putting in all those finishing touches. One cool art project for a baby's room, if you have the time, is a beautiful hand crafted mobile. You could use natural items found in your area – drift wood and shells, for example, or sticks and pine cones and other woodland finds. Of course you should keep these things out of baby's reach, but it could give them something to look at.
