Die Liebenden von Valdaro ('gli amanti di Valdaro'), auch als Die Liebenden von Mantua bekannt, ist die Bezeichnung für die Skelette einer Frau und eines Mannes von etwa 18 bis 20 Jahren aus der Jungsteinzeit, die am 5. Februar 2007 in Valdaro, einem Industrievorort vor den Toren Mantuas im Gemeindegebiet von San Giorgio Bigarello in Oberitalien gefunden wurden. Die Skelette lagen seit über 5500 Jahren eng umschlungen in einem Grab, was bis 2015 für keinen anderen neolithischen Fund belegt werden konnte. Es ist nicht bekannt, warum das Paar umarmt begraben liegt. Leiterin der Ausgrabung war Elena Menotti.

Bezeichnung
Die Bezeichnung "Liebende" ist spekulativ, da nichts über die näheren Umstände des Lebens und die Todesursache bekannt ist. Jedoch wurden auch Hunde in die Nähe von Menschen gelegt, so dass sich hierin möglicherweise ein Abbild einer emotionalen Bindung in den Begräbnissitten erweist. So könnten Hinterbliebene das junge Paar bewusst in dieser Haltung beigesetzt haben.

Datierung und Bestimmung des Alters
Das Alter der beiden wurde zunächst aufgrund der in der Grabstätte vorhandenen Werkzeuge und einer Pfeilspitze auf 5000 bis 6000 Jahre geschätzt. Mit der Radiokarbonmethode konnte das Alter auf 4557 ± 51 Jahre BP datiert werden, was einem kalibrierten Alter von 3370–3315 v. Chr. entspricht.

Bei dem Paar handelt es sich um einen Mann und eine Frau. Da ihre Zähne noch intakt sind, wurde schon kurz nach der Entdeckung angenommen, dass sie relativ jung verstorben sein mussten. Heute wird ihr Alter auf 18 bis 20 Jahre geschätzt.

Bergung, wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen und Präsentation
Normalerweise werden bei Skelettfunden die Knochen einzeln ausgegraben. Im Fall der Liebenden von Valdaro kam aber die Technik der Blockbergung zum Einsatz.

Daniela Castagna, eine der Archäologen, bemerkte gegenüber einer Fernsehanstalt, dass das Grab in Nord-Süd-Richtung angelegt sei, ein weiteres Einzelgrab in der Nähe jedoch in Ost-West-Richtung. In den letzten Jahren wurden in der Umgebung insgesamt 36 Beisetzungen entdeckt, hinzu kamen zwei beerdigte Hunde, möglicherweise drei. Die beiden sicher identifizierten Hunde, wahrscheinlich Wolfshunde, lagen zusammen mit menschlichen Toten im Grab, in einem Falle mit zwei Erwachsenen, im anderen zu Füßen eines Individuums. Auch hier fanden sich hinsichtlich der Ausrichtung der Toten einige abweichende Fälle. Die Haltung der Toten war ebenfalls nicht einheitlich. Da es keinerlei Störungen durch neue Gräber gab, geht man davon aus, dass die Gräber oberirdisch markiert waren, so dass die jeweils neu Beizusetzenden nicht die Ruhe der schon früher Verstorbenen störten. Meist wurden drei, manchmal vier Individuen gleichzeitig in nuclei beigesetzt, Beigaben waren üblich.

Das Paar wird dementsprechend so wie vorgefunden im Archäologischen Nationalmuseum Mantua ausgestellt, dem Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Mantova. Nur durch Spenden konnte die Vitrine finanziert werden, die allein 40.000 Euro kostete, wie die Leiterin des Museums, Maria Elena Menotti, einräumen musste. Da die Erstpräsentation des Fundes im April 2015 jedoch kaum in die Tourismuswerbung einfloss, fanden sich am ersten Tag nur zwölf Besucher ein.
Ein zweiter bedeutender Fund, jener des Hundes, der zusammen mit einem Jäger beigesetzt wurde, wird seit 2015 gleichfalls ausgestellt. Der Mann erhielt den Namen Orione, während der Hund nunmehr Sirio genannt wird. Die beiden waren 2009 entdeckt worden. Sie wurden im Mantuaner Archäologiemuseum erstmals vom 27. bis 31. Oktober 2015 ausgestellt.

Die weiteren Untersuchungen leitete James Tirabassi. Zunächst wanderte das Bergungsgut ins Museo Civico di Como, wo es bis 2009 verblieb. Erst nach den dort durchgeführten Untersuchungen kehrte das Paar nach Mantua zurück. Nun vergingen zwei weitere Jahre in einer Holzkiste, bis 2011 ein Comitato Amanti aus Bürgern der Stadt unter dessen Präsidentin Silvia Bagnoli endlich weitere Fortschritte erzielte. Dieses Komitee bestand zugleich aus den Amici di Palazzo Te, den städtischen Museen sowie der Kommune und der Provinz. Die Kommune erklärte sich bereit, 30.000 Euro von den Ausstellungskosten zu übernehmen. Verbände und Einzelpersonen spendeten gleichfalls, während die Regierung in Rom keine Veranlassung dazu sah.

Rezeption
Die Ausgräberin Maria Elena Menotti verkündete bereits 2007 gegenüber der BBC, die Toten würden "sich tatsächlich umarmen", woraufhin der Boston Globe titelte: "Archaeologists Extract Ancient Lovers", der Daily Mirror gar "Grave News: Romance is Dead". Menotti beförderte diese Nachrichtenwelle in den Massenmedien, als sie nachlegte und meinte, dass man die Liebe noch nach Tausenden von Jahren spüre, und: "Ja, wir müssen es Liebe nennen". So kursierte bald die Bezeichnung als "Die Liebenden von Valdaro".

Eine Ausgabe der USA Today titelte nun "Archaeologists Find Prehistoric Romeo and Juliet Locked in Eternal Embrace", und Associated Press schloss sich an mit "Prehistoric Romeo and Juliet Discovered". Dabei wurde sogar darüber spekuliert, ob die in Shakespeare Werk beschriebene junge und tragische Liebe im Raum Mantua und Verona nicht weit in die Vorgeschichte der Menschheit zurückreiche.

Hingegen verwahrten sich einige Archäologen gegen die vorschnellen Deutungen, zumal die Methodik der Geschlechtsbestimmung nicht einmal diskutiert wurde. Dass eine solche Umarmung möglicherweise auf zusammengekauerte Verwandte, also Angst hindeuten könnte, oder auch Fremde, die sich angriffen, also Wut, wurde fast nie in Erwägung gezogen. Die wenigen Mutmaßungen in diese Richtungen wurden von der Berichterstattung der internationalen Medien überwuchert. Auch wurde ignoriert, dass nur einen Meter links von dem Paar ein weiterer Leichnam gehoben wurde, der auf der rechten Seite in Fötushaltung lag. In der internationalen Berichterstattung wurde er selten erwähnt, und wenn, dann als "einsames" Begräbnis. Durch diese Art der Berichterstattung reduzierte sich auch die Zahl der Bilder, die in den Medien kursierten. So hatte das Lokalblatt, die Gazzetta di Mantova, ursprünglich 20 Bilder von der Ausgrabung präsentiert, jedoch blieb letztlich nur ein einziges, das die Interpretation als Liebende am besten zu untermauern schien.

Nachdem sich diese Deutung allgemein durchgesetzt hatte, ließen sich zahlreiche Künstler von dem Paar inspirieren. Quitting Heaven, eine Heavy-Metal-Gruppe, intonierte einen Skeleton Kiss, Fall Out Boy Believers Never Die, Tesla Forever More (2008) oder Darkest Hours The Human Romance. Die Künstlerin Marzia Migliora erstellte eine Tonskulptur des Paares mit dem Titel lei, che non dormiva mai (sie, die niemals geschlafen hat). In Blogs wurde dazu aufgefordert, die Skelette in ihrer Position zu belassen. Als der Block nach Como verbracht wurde, um weitere Untersuchungen vorzunehmen, schrieb ein italienischer Journalist von ihrer "Hochzeitsreise", und in Como wurde das inzwischen berühmte Paar vom Bürgermeister empfangen.

2015 veröffentlichte Ralph Dutli einen Roman mit dem Titel Die Liebenden von Mantua, in dem die beiden Skelette eine zentrale Rolle spielen.

Ein vergleichbar positioniertes Paar sind die "Liebenden von Hsanlu" in Aserbaidschan.

Float House is my last project of the Winter 2018 semester (post-winter show project), hence the calmness! I started this project roughly 2 weeks ago when we were introduced to Unreal engine. It has been challenging navigating in Unreal! Even though I have experience with Cinema4D, Unreal has its own rules and logic (elaborated below).
CAMERA+EXPORT – once the keyframes are done, add a camera and see the video play from camera view – notice the lighting and focus. Once the camera is adjusted, export the sequence in a video format. Remark: adjust the resolution!
import all the sequences from Unreal engine and fine tune / edit on premiere, add sounds, title etc.
Overall this process made me appreciate 3D animations more!
I worked with Yves on the Wanderer project. We wanted to create something abstract and visually transformative. My edit is the second half of the video (0:48 onwards).
do it little by little, then edit on premier!
Halloween theme stop motion animation with Maya Pruitt.
Story: Maya wanted to work on something related to Halloween and suggested we experiment with these chocolate eyeballs. We developed the stories together, thinking about their motivations, tensions and climax points.
Learning: I have some experience working with Photoshop timeline but this is my first time using Dragonframe and After Effects. Everything was new to me including the concept of keyframes.


I'm always making new tea & coffee mugs… so check back often for new designs!
The print on these mugs will never fade – no matter how many times you wash them. 100% dishwasher and microwave safe. Shipped in a custom-made styrofoam package to ensure it arrives perfectly. GUARANTEED.

Q: How to calculate reconciliation factor in CRC32 for CVN number and CALID How to calculate reconciliation factor in CRC32 for CVN number and CALID
Can someone help he with this How to calculate reconciliation factor in CRC32 and crc16.
but calculated factor value should be like to get same sum Every time for CVN calculation
I want formula of get offset or Reconciliation factor for CRC32 calculation .
Let me clarify for this : CVN : calibration Vehicle network identification   .   The solution as i want for ex:  I have two different structure where we have 10 paramater and from that check sum value as ex 0xfefeABCD and 0x12345678   and on that structure im have to add one more parameter which calibration factor ,  When I add this parameter on both structure the checksum value get modify , but I need a algorithm for that to get same checksum value for both the structure by adding calibration factor and offset .              NOTE : both structure have same 10 Variables but  value is different  , Im not having idea about value of these structure ,but still i need same checksum by adding factor value on structure .
Im using this function :

----------------------END Code---------------
How do we get Offset and reconciliation factor value to get same CRC every time ?
unchanged data in buffer:
0x0 0x1 0x2 0x3 0x4
0x5 0x6 0x7 0x8 0x9
0xA 0xB 0xC 0xD 0xE
0xF 0x0 0x1 0x2 0x3
0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

A: Your code lost some things in copying. There needs to be a length parameter in fix_crc_pos(). In make_crc_revtable() you go to 256, not 25. You need a place to put the reverse table: uint32_t crc_revtable[256];. You need to make the forward table:
void make_crc_table(uint32_t *crc_table) {
    for (int n = 0; n < 256; n++) {
        uint32_t crc = n;
        for (int k = 0; k < 8; k++)
            crc = crc & 1 ? (crc >> 1) ^ CRCPOLY : crc >> 1;
        crc_table[n] = crc;
    }
}

and a place to put that somewhere: uint32_t crc_table[256];.
Then fix_crc_pos() will work. You give it the data you want the CRC over, buffer with length length. You give it the CRC you want to force the data to have, tcrcreg and the offset in the data, fix_pos, where there are four bytes you are allowing it to modify to get that CRC. And you provide it with the two tables you built by calling the make functions.

Rezeption
Daniel Gerhardt vergleicht die Band in seiner Rezension des Albums mit den Beatsteaks: "AnnenMayKantereit erinnern an die Beatsteaks, obwohl sie nicht wie die Beatsteaks klingen. Mit den Urgesteinen des Berliner Punk-Establishments teilen sie sich den Wumms und das Bummsfallera, eine gewisse Grobschlächtigkeit, die auf Festivals immer geht. Ihr Sänger Henning May singt auch so reibeisern wie der Typ von den Beatsteaks, und seine Texte sind genauso schlecht, nur auf deutsch."

Josa Mania-Schlegel beschrieb den Sound von Sänger Henning May auf SZ.de als "Atem des Geschundenen": "Mays großer Trumpf des rauen Tons wirkt dann wie ein Effekt, der aber genau das Gegenteil bedeuten soll - nämlich Echtheit."

Über das Lied Oft gefragt sagte der Sänger Drangsal in einem Interview: "Als ich das zum ersten Mal gehört habe, sind mir irgendwie die Tränen gekommen". Das Lied sei "vielleicht der großartigste deutschsprachige Popsong der letzten zwanzig Jahre". Es sei "ein unfassbares Lied".

Colors by: Espen Grundetjern, Alan Wang and Rob Ruffolo
At the Praetorus Wharf, the Autobots are taking a beating. The Decepticon mobile battle station, Trypticon is pummeling the Autobots with his firepower. It's clear the giant has the Autobots outgunned, so Prowl orders the Autobots to try to outrun the beast. The Autobots try to drive away from Trypticon, but he manages to show he's not some slow, plodding Transformer as he crushes a tunnel that Skids tries to get through!
Orbital Tours State: Uraya
Grimlock and four of his fellow Lightning Strike Coalition members (Swoop, Snarl, Sludge and Slag) are racing to an all together different site: the neutral territories, where Jetfire and Shockwave are planning to meet. Everyone but Grimlock wants to take on Trypticon instead, but Grimlock is insistant. He believes Jetfire is a traitor for dealing with Shockwave. The others continue to protest however, and Grimlock seems to reconsider his stance.
The Neutral Territories:
Jetfire and Shockwave finally meet, agreeing to share data to figure out what is going on all over Cybertron. Suddenly, a series of blasts strike Shockwave! As Jetfire stares in horror, Bludgeon, Mindwipe and Bugly race onto the scene!
The Praetorus Wharf:
Reinforcements have arrived, but they may not be enough. Trypticon manages to absorb the Autobot firepower easily.
His weaponry even taxes Trailbreaker's forcefield to the max. The Autobots try to use whatever tricks they can to win (including Hound's holograms), but the situation still looks grim.
Shockwave has recovered and he tries to defeat Bludgeon, but the Decepticon has gained some new skills and manages to best Shockwave. Jetfire draws his weapon - but suddenly his will to fight fades! Bludgeon explains that Mindwipe has used his powers to hypnotise him. The Decepticons prepare to take Jetfire to the Fallen - until Grimlock arrives!
In no time, Grimlock tears through Bugly, Bludgeon and then Mindwipe (who's powers don't seem to affect the future Dinobot leader). Jetfire wakens from his stupor and tries to explain what is happening. Grimlock does not want to hear it however as he thrashes Jetfire too!
While Grimlock went to the Neutral Territories, the other four members of his team have gone to aid the Autobots. While the firepower they lay on him is impressive, it still barely registers with the giant. When he receives a distress signal, he simply transforms into a large vehicle and speeds away. Swoop is infuriated, demanding he return to fight - but Trypticon doesn't listen.
Jetfire tries to dodge Grimlock's attacks as he explains that there are hidden machinations going on behind the recent escalations in hostilities on Cybertron. Grimlock doesn't listen however. We learn that it was Grimlock who sent Trypticon the distress signal (using a stolen Decepticon code) and that Jetfire is one of his last "loose ends". He is about to finish off Jetfire when the Fallen appears! Grimlock tries to strike him with his sword, but the ancient Transformer manages to catch the sword - with his hand!
While the last couple of issues seemed more focus on the Wreckers, we get to focus on the other Autobots and Decepticons this time around. While the more moral/political/sociological implications of Transformer technology and segregation are fun topics from the last issues, this issue goes for action and pushing the story forward.
This issue feels a bit more rich than the last because of the characters tossed into the mix. Trypticon is hardly a Decepticon to be ignored, and he is written wonderfully here. Instead of the more dumb-monster-like Trypticon of the cartoon show, we get the more intelligent Trypticon first written by Bob Budiansky in the original Transformers comic book. He takes a genuine (if not perverse) pleasure in his work, and he clearly has a powerful ego to go along with his powerful body.
Other wonderful little touches of character include:
Hound's use of his holographic capabilities.
Trailbreaker's use of his force field.
Mindwipe's use of his hypnotic abilities.
Snarl commenting on Trypticon's ugly (read: dinosaur like) form. Snarl never liked his dinosaur form.
Bludgeon's newfound confidence, perhaps he has begun to study Metalikato?
Grimlock's comment about why everyone underestimates him.
I think it gives fans a powerful sense of connection to stories they already know to see Transformers acting or using abilities that fans are familiar with. This episode is filled with such moments. There's not much "new" about the characters (save for Jetfire), but rather, we get to see the beginnings of what we know will be patterns of behavior far down the line.
It was also great to see Bludgeon and the gang in action, actively going after the Fallen's "chosen ones". However, it does kind of worry me that we're up to issue four and we still do not know who the Fallen is, why he even needs Bludgeon and gang and why Jetfire and Grimlock are so important to his work. Of course, this could all easily be explained in the next two issues.
Bludgeon and Jetfire
Trypticon
Grimlock and the Fallen
The artwork seems to be a lot more tight and strong in this issue than the previous three. The use of disorderly, sharp angled panels during Trypticon's initial assault is perfect and helps add to the chaotic sense of the battle. Everything about the art (from pencils to colors) seem less muted than previous entries. It seems that Wildman is getting much more comfortable with drawing this crew now.
Unfortunately, whether it's in the hands of the artists or not, we don't get very good looks at the pre-Dinobot forms. We do get a good look at Swoop, and a bit of Slag - but not much else. Then again, this could change in the next two issues.
There's only one drawing which really seemed off. In the initial battle with Trypticon, I'm quite sure the red Autobot who talks about the energy exhaust looks like hs'e supposed to be Sideswipe, but the head design is quite a bit off.
This feels like a stronger issue than the previous one, but at the same time it only moves the story forward a tiny bit. It feels like by issue 4 we should have gone a bit further by now - but the next two issues may still surprise us!

New climate plan falls short of "industry leadership" promise
Following months of pressure from more than 12,000 UniSuper members, UniSuper has released details of its updated climate change policy.
Sadly, without a clear plan to reduce exposure to all fossil fuel production and infrastructure to zero, UniSuper's new climate policy fails to live up to the fund's own promise to prove itself an "industry leader" on climate change.
UniSuper's climate policy produces more questions than answers. We've included some of our major questions below. There are a couple of ways you can challenge the fund over the lack of ambition and clarity in this policy:
1. Make an official complaint via the fund's website (or email it directly to Enquiry@unisuper.com.au).
Please let us know once you've done this by emailing contact@unisuperdivest.org
2. Put your questions directly to Chief Investment Officer John Pearce at a Melbourne University-hosted panel discussion on Thursday (17 September) evening. Sign up to attend here.
.@UniSuperNews commits to net zero portfolio emissions by 2050, but no near term action to drop investments in the oil and gas companies taking us in the opposite direction #UniSuperDIVEST https://t.co/eT4W6wIwru
— Market Forces (@market_forces) September 15, 2020
What does the new policy entail?
UniSuper has committed to ensuring its investment portfolio reaches net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and will "contribute to" a 45% reduction in Australia's emissions by 2030. The fund says it will contribute to this 2030 goal by targeting an absolute reduction in its own portfolio emissions 'where practical', leaving a gaping loophole in an already unclear plan.
The fund will also assess material medium and long term investments against a shadow carbon price, but has failed to provide details of the carbon price that will be used, or how and when it will be reviewed and increased over time.
UniSuper confirmed its divestment and ongoing exclusion of companies deriving more than 10% of revenue from thermal coal mining.
However, the fund has provided no commitments, strategies or targets to drop other fossil fuel investments, which include significant stakes in major Australian oil and gas producers Woodside, Santos, Oil Search and Origin. All of these companies are pursuing business strategies demonstrably consistent with the failure of the Paris Agreement.
UniSuper's 2030 portfolio emission reduction plans will not capture the vast majority of these companies' carbon footprints unless it encompasses the emissions caused by the end use of their products, known as scope 3 emissions. That's not just bad for the climate, it means UniSuper would remain exposed to companies with massive climate risk liabilities on their books.
By contrast, Suncorp last month announced plans to no longer invest in new oil and gas exploration and production, and will phase out investing in these activities by 2040, with interim steps to immediately reconsider investments in the 10% most emission-intensive oil and gas producers, the top 25% by 2025, and the top 50% by 2030.
A final confusing piece of the UniSuper climate policy puzzle is its commitment that 100% of its material, active, in-house Australian investment companies will have Paris-aligned operational commitments by the end of 2021.
Given many fossil fuel producers UniSuper invests in have expansion plans that are totally inconsistent with the Paris climate goals, the fund must be anticipating these companies will announce plans to wind down production in line with the Paris goals, or else the fund is heralding significant divestments in the coming year. That's a question we're hoping members can help find the answer to.
However, based on the fund's past form. it's much more likely UniSuper will be placated by fossil fuel companies' greenwash.
Questions that need to be answered
Portfolio emission targets
Does the fund intend to reduce it's portfolio emissions by 45% by 2030? Or has it been deliberately misleading in its language around this commitment?
Do portfolio emission commitments include scope 3 emissions?
Fossil fuel exposure
Why has the fund divested from coal miners, but not coal power generators?
Are there any targets or strategies to ensure the fund will reduce exposure to metallurgical coal, oil or gas production in line with the Paris climate goals?
Carbon price
What carbon price will the fund apply to its investment analysis?
Will the carbon be aligned with a 1.5C warming outcome?
How and when it will be reviewed and increased over time to ensure consistency with the Paris goals?
When will the carbon price analysis take place, what outcomes can be expected, and how will these be communicated to members?
Paris-aligned operational commitments
What kind of commitments will satisfy UniSuper's objective that 100% of portfolio companies will have Paris-aligned operational commitments by the end of 2021?
Will companies be required to set short-, medium- and long-term emission reduction targets consistent with a 1.5C warming outcome, and strategies to meet those targets?
Will UniSuper divest from companies that fail to make these commitments?
About this campaign
UniSuper DIVEST is a project of Market Forces, supported by UniSuper members across Australia. The campaign is designed to support signatories to take ownership of the campaign and organise to share it widely among fellow UniSuper members. Together we will take this campaign into the media and right to the doors of UniSuper.
UniSuper DIVEST recognises and supports the important work of the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) in pushing for climate action, including motions passed in October 2019 declaring a climate emergency and calling on UniSuper to divest from fossil fuels. This campaign supports these efforts and seeks to demonstrate widespread support for fossil fuel divestment among UniSuper members.
Market Forces' research has identified the big Australian companies that are undermining climate action by expanding the scale of the fossil fuel industry and whose future is tied to worsening the climate crisis. These are the companies the open letter calls on UniSuper to divest from.
UniSuper should not be investing any of its members' retirement savings in these climate-wrecking companies. While the fund offers investment options that exclude some fossil fuel investments, these options represent a tiny proportion of assets under management and require members to actively seek out and switch into them. Climate action is effectively quarantined to those niche options and the members that are able to find their way into them. Meanwhile UniSuper continues to invest billions of dollars in fossil fuels through mainstream investment options. UniSuper, as a whole, is still overwhelmingly backing companies that are driving us towards runaway climate change.

This campaign provides a platform for members to demand UniSuper divests from fossil fuel companies that are undermining the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

> PILDAT
New Logo, New Identity
Having been registered and operational since 2002, PILDAT has turned 16 in 2018. The identity of the organisation was designed in the shape of our logo in 2002.
In these 16 years, PILDAT has grown and evolved and we believe it is time for a change. The PILDAT team, therefore, has worked to bring in a fresh new look of PILDAT identity in the shape of a fresh new logo.
The cornerstone of PILDAT�s work is strengthening democracy and democratic institutions. Democracy, therefore, is central to our work. Like the earlier logo, the new logo also accentuates the �D� of Democracy in our name. Shaped like a crescent with the star, the �D� of Democracy also represents Pakistan. The new logo conveys the message, therefore, that Pakistan and democracy are synonymous. In other words, PILDAT logo is re-designed to convey that Pakistan�s prosperous future is linked to our democratic ethos and future developments in democratic governance.
With the blessings of the PILDAT�s Board of Directors, we begin the use of the new Urdu and English Logos.
As before, PILDAT will continue to strive towards strengthening democracy and democratic institutions in Pakistan.

I have spoken many times on Islam. I would like to speak once again on this subject, and I hope that this will be the last time I do so. I am writing this in order to leave no room for excuses for anyone. As for those who will not accept what I have to say, I have nothing else to say. Let God be the judge.
Today, there remains no country called Islam for you to rule. Today, Moslems of every ethnic group have separated, and each has created a country in the name of that ethnic group. In Iran, people live as Iranians, not as Moslems. That is why they consider the Iraqis, Egyptians, Jews, and Zoroastrians who live in Iran to be one of them. Besides, for many years, Western laws have been practiced in Iran, and Islamic laws have been set aside. Is this not proof that Islam has been eliminated?
What has forced us into such discussions is the facts that, as we said, the clerics have made a claim to the government and they disrupt the life of the nation. And their pretext is that Imam Ali ebn Abitaleb was chosen calif by God, and other such statements. In order to show that their claim is without any foundation, we have been forced to engage in such discussions.

Distancing itself from its troubled past, Uganda has gained recognition in recent years for its tough stance in tackling HIV and AIDS across the country.
ICS volunteers support Uganda's growth through supporting local entrepreneurs and improving employability, alongside increasing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) awareness with an aim of reducing HIV infection among the country's youth population.
Huge progress has been made in recent years in tackling Uganda's HIV and AIDS epidemic. After a huge increase in new HIV infections from 2005-2013, this rate has now been steadily failing.
Young people are the target for Restless Development's sexual and reproductive health (SRH) work. This group of people are the most vulnerable to HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases – yet just two in five 15 to 24-year-olds know all the necessary facts to prevent HIV.
ICS volunteers help by bringing HIV and STI testing services to young people in rural communities who don't normally have access to these services.
You can expect to be involved in inviting health centre staff to offer talks to young people, organising HIV testing clinics and running discussions in the community, including with parents.
We had some real successes. My friend Mark and I worked with a hairdresser called Janet. By the end of our 10 weeks, she had enough income that she didn't need to apply to borrow a single coin from a bank. That was a great achievement.
A big focus of ICS in Uganda is on creating a sustainable source of income for local people – either through working with small entrepreneurs to grow their businesses, or through increasing young people's employability so they can access opportunities and support their families and communities.
With Restless Development, volunteers can expect to be part of a nationwide team helping tackle Uganda's 83% unemployment rate among 15-24 year-olds – by developing these young people's skillsets in rural communities where personal development isn't always high on the agenda.
There are multiple project locations in Uganda, including Mbale, Iganga, Tororo, Kampala, Kayunga, Bulamagi and Makigo. All placements in Uganda see volunteers living with host families, usually with one other volunteer.
As with other placements, volunteers living with host families will be expected to eat like a local. Ugandan dishes are usually centred on a staple of groundnuts, beans or meat, accompanied by ugali (maize meal) or matoke (boiled and mashed green banana).
And it's not just what happens on placement that counts. Volunteers have also been involved in community work, having organised school sports days, sexual health awareness sessions and litter picking in the community.

Lagu T, Goff SL, Craft B, et al. J Hosp Med. 2016;11:52-55.
Researchers in this study reviewed patient feedback posted on a hospital's Facebook page to determine whether social media may be a helpful mechanism for identifying patient safety and quality improvement issues. In this small sample of 37 respondents over a 3-week period, insights from social media comments did not seem to add much to the feedback already collected by more traditional methods, such as patient satisfaction surveys.
Systematic review on the prevalence, frequency and comparative value of adverse events data in social media. Get Citation
Golder S, Norman G, Loke YK. Br J Clin Pharmacol. 2015;80:878-888.
Medication errors are common in the outpatient setting and frequently lead to emergency department visits and hospital admissions. The growth in social media use potentially provides a way to identify safety hazards quickly. This systematic review sought to examine whether social media could provide unique insights into safety issues compared to standard methods of detecting safety hazards. The included studies searched a variety of social media sites (e.g., Twitter, YouTube, and discussion forums) and found that a large number of adverse events are discussed in real time. Most of these events tended to be mild, such as symptoms or asymptomatic lab test abnormalities. Serious adverse events, those requiring urgent treatment or hospitalization, were relatively underrepresented. Although searching social media may help identify unique safety hazards, the investigators concluded that current evidence is insufficient to determine whether routine analysis of social media is of added benefit to traditional surveillance methods.

Hello, friend. Welcome back. Can I offer you some oolong? No? This is a written medium and thus a poor platform for offering a warm beverage? Alright, I suppose you have a point…how about a story instead?
Once upon a time, amoral criminals richer than Croesus ruled the world; they used and abused those with less, whom they saw as sub-human. They took and took and took, until they, the few, possessed half the world's wealth. These oligarchs cared nought for anyone but themselves—dispossessing and debasing others became sport for them.
And then, a shadowy figure known to this group only as The Freelancer showed up and began slaughtering them for their crimes. (Wait, did you think I was talking about something other* than comics?) That figure is Renato Jones—a vigilante who punishes those whose wealth and power make them untouchable by conventional means. In many ways, he is part Frank Castle and part Batman, but this story is different from either of theirs—and even if it weren't, this is a stylish, intentional comic kept me coming back for more.
Rarely does a do-it-all-yourself approach succeed in monthly comics, but Kaare Andrews seems to thrive with that workload. He works with a letterer, a flatter**, and an editor here, but the rest of the book's workload is on him. The result is a book that reads like a carefully choreographed movie: page breakdowns, the size and focus of panels, where Andrews draws the reader's eye at any given time—the very technical, nearly invisible elements of studied, skilled layout planning matter as much to this book as its plot. In movie terms: imagine a screenplay written by a director who works out all his shots as he puts his story on paper—that's how intertwined plot and art are in Renato Jones.
If that comparison gives you an auteur vibe, well, you're on the right track, especially when it comes to the art. If you haven't guessed by now, this is an angry, violent book. Andrews's art does not shy away from the morbid, the grotesque, or the depraved—he knows that he can't if he wants his readers to buy into Renato's motivation. That roughness characterizes the art style at every level—lines are rough and forms exaggerated to excess; shadows run deep to obscure faces, like monsters emerging from the dark; sometimes color ceases to exist, forcing images into stark, animalistic silhouette. It seethes and fumes along with its protagonist.
I completely dug Renato Jones. This was no surprise, coming to it from Andrews's similarly angry, cinematic (and wonderful) Iron Fist: The Living Weapon and knowing the two share a visual style (although, clearly, the Marvel title does not cross some of the lines that this does). It is certainly extreme—not in the '90s TOTALLY X-TREME!!!! sense, but in its excesses. But it is a story about excess. If you are interested in a book that puts a specific kind of rage on paper, this is for you.
*Now that you mention it, there is one urine-soaked jackal with a bad combover and a penchant for bankruptcy in the second issue (published in June 2016) who rings a bell….
**I don't know if what the job of a flatter entails is common knowledge, but I definitely had to look it up the first time I heard it. A flatter takes an inked art file, pulls it into Photoshop (or similar software) and drops a flat layer of color into each white space that is part of the same layer, with a different color for each layer. That lets the colorist come along and isolate individual figures, objects, depth-levels of background, etc as they color and add in the textures, effects, and lighting they want.

What if next-generation ICT systems could be based on the brain's structure and its cognitive and adaptive processes? A groundbreaking paradigm of brain-inspired intelligent ICT architectures is being born.
With the advent of Big Data and the resulting need to increase computing and networking power to manage the vast amount of information available, a new generation of ICT systems inspired by the operating principles of the brain has emerged. Novel solutions toward improved information processing in computer networks/hardware are being addressed from a multidisciplinary approach, using knowledge from neuroscience and applying it to computer and network architecture.
Stemming from the premise that the brain is an ideal model for information processing, in recent years we have witnessed multiple examples of bio-inspired systems, which have eased progress in different ICT areas. Some examples are neuronal networks for learning systems or ant algorithms used to trace optimal paths in communication networks.
Neuroscientists are making game-changing discoveries in their understanding of the full-scale functional models of the brain, yet nobody has a complete picture of how the brain works, even less at the level of higher cognition—how we perceive, how we remember, how we act.
Recent advances in data acquisition techniques about the brain's anatomic-functional organization and cognitive processes (for both humans and animals) have allowed the scientific community to start analyzing and understanding the brain's structure and its cognitive and transmission processes. This offers a unique opportunity for the design of novel ICT systems inspired by the brain's structure, as well as by its cognitive and adaptive processes.
Recently, some of the main companies in the ICT sector such as IBM, Qualcomm or Intel have launched pioneering projects for the design of brain-inspired ICT systems, which indicates the importance of this research line for the ICT sector.
In this context, IMDEA Networks launches a pioneering research project on BRAin inspired Data Engineering (BRADE-CM). The Madrid research institute is part on an interdisciplinary team with a multi-tiered research approach spanning neuroscience, the development of imaging instrumentation, the modeling of complex systems and networks, and the design of information processing ICT systems. BRADE has the ambitious goal of contributing to a new generation of computation and information processing systems for large-scale datasets inspired by how the brain processes information, learns, makes decisions and copes with large amounts of data.


As consecrated women of Regnum Christi, we are spouses of the Crucified One. We are called to not only follow Him, but unite to Him, sharing in His passion, death and Resurrection. This Good Friday, I share this poem that came to me in prayer during a retreat… a glimpse into what this means in my own life, and why I would choose Him, not just in His glory, but especially in His weakest hour.
Delay no more and enter in!
My King! My Lord! Why?
I can't but do the same.
to touch the bloody wounds on your head.
Tears well in my own.
You now lift your hand to my aching head, my hidden thorns.
slowly running your stained hand down my face, tracing the lines of pain.
You know how deeply I yearn for union with you Intimacy with you.
But promise me that you will be with me when they strip me, nail me, scorn me, misunderstand me, spit at me, hurt me.

As the daughter of Clint Eastwood and Frances Fisher, it was no surprise that Francesca Ruth Eastwood gravitated towards the arts. Born in 1993, her first professional experience came before she could walk, when she was conveniently cast as Frances Fisher's daughter in "The Stars Fell on Henrietta" (1995) starring Robert Duvall and produced by Clint Eastwood. Four years laver, she portrayed her father's daughter on-screen in "True Crime" (1999), which he also directed and produced. In 2014, she began to come out from under her parents' wing a bit. Although she still played a small role in the musical adaptation of "Jersey Boys" (2014), directed by her father, she also had a regular role on the NylonTV web series "Oh, You Pretty Things" (YouTube, 2014) and her first network guest starring role on "Perception" (TNT, 2012-15). Her breakout year came in 2015, when she was poised to appear in half a dozen features or TV movies including "Wuthering High School" (Lifetime, 2015), "Outlaws and Angels" (2015) (which also featured a role played by Eastwood's mother) and "Kids vs. Monsters" (2015), in addition to a recurring role on the highly anticipated "Heroes Reborn" (NBC, 2015-), the sequel to the popular show "Heroes" (NBC, 2006-2010).
Played Olivia Jones on the short-lived dramedy "Oh, you Pretty Things!"
Appeared on the third season of "Fargo"
Appeared as a waitress on the final episode of "Twin Peaks: The Return"
Made first on-screen appearance in "The Stars Fell on Henrietta"
Had first recurring role on a major series, on "Heroes" reboot "Heroes Reborn"

We the People? Why Republicans believe that "the government has no role in protecting the population"
Posted by Heather Cox Richardson | Jul 24, 2021 |
On July 20, the Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends personality Steve Doocy told viewers to get the coronavirus vaccine because it would "save your life" and noted that 99% of the people now dying from COVID-19 are unvaccinated. Brian Kilmeade answered that not getting the vaccine is a personal choice and that the government has no role in protecting the population. "That's not their job. It's not their job to protect anybody," he said.
It is, of course, literally the job of the government to protect us. The preamble to the Constitution reads: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
But Kilmeade's extraordinary comment cuts to the heart of the long history from the New Deal to the present. In the 1930s, to combat the Great Depression, Democrats under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had offered a "new deal for the American people." That New Deal meant that the government would no longer work simply to promote business, but would regulate business, provide a basic social safety net, and promote infrastructure. World War II accelerated the construction of that active government, and by the time it was over, Americans quite liked the new system.
After the war, Republican Dwight Eisenhower rejected the position of 1920s Republicans and embraced the active government. He explained that in the modern world, the government must protect people from disasters created by forces outside their control, and it must provide social services that would protect people from unemployment, old age, illness, accidents, unsafe food and drugs, homelessness, and disease.
He called his version of the New Deal "a middle way between untrammeled freedom of the individual and the demands of the welfare of the whole Nation." One of his supporters explained that, "If a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government."
In this, Eisenhower and his team were echoing Abraham Lincoln, who thought about government at a time when elite southern enslavers insisted that government had no role to play in the country except in protecting property.
As a young man, Lincoln had watched his town of New Salem, Illinois, die because the settlers—hard workers, eager to make the town succeed—could not dredge the Sangamon River to promote trade by themselves. Lincoln later mused, "The legitimate object of government is 'to do for the people what needs to be done, but which they can not, by individual effort, do at all, or do so well, for themselves.'…Making and maintaining roads, bridges, and the like; providing for the helpless young and afflicted; common schools; and disposing of deceased men's property, are instances."
So Eisenhower and his fellow Republicans were in line with traditional Republican values when they declared their support for an active government. But those who objected to what became known as the post–World War II liberal consensus rejected the idea that the government had any role to play in the economy or in social welfare.
In 1954, William F. Buckley, Jr., and his brother-in-law L. Brent Bozell, Jr., made no distinction between the liberal consensus and international communism when they defended Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy for his attacks on "communists" in the U.S. government. They insisted that the country was made up of "Liberals," who were guiding the nation toward socialism, and "Conservatives," like themselves, who were standing alone against the Democrats and Republicans who made up a majority of the country and liked the new business regulations, safety net, and infrastructure.
That reactionary mindset came to dominate the Republican Party after 1980, and now, forty years later, a television personality is taking the stand that the government has no role in protecting Americans against a worldwide pandemic that has killed more than 600,000 of us.
And yet, the idea that the government has a role to play in the economy remains popular, and this is creating a problem for Republicans. As soon as they took office, President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats passed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan without any Republican votes. About 60% of Americans liked the plan, and it is likely to be more popular still now that checks from the Child Tax Credit extended in it began hitting parents' bank accounts on July 15. Even before that, at least 26 Republicans were touting the benefits of the measure to their constituents while neglecting to mention they voted against it.
Now, Congress is negotiating a two-part infrastructure plan. Biden and the Democrats have worked hard for three months to get at least 10 Republican senators to agree to a $579 billion measure that would provide hard infrastructure like roads, bridges, and broadband. Negotiators are still hammering out that agreement and Democrats are making concessions. Ohio Senator Rob Portman, a Republican, told CNN that a provision to pay for the package in part by enforcing tax laws against those ignoring them bothered Republicans enough that negotiators cut it.
And yet, leading Republicans said they would not vote to advance the bill, citing the fact it was not fully written. Since both parties regularly move their measures forward under such circumstances, many Democrats simply see this as a delaying tactic to try to kill the measure before Congress starts a month-long break on August 6. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has said for weeks that he would bring the bill up in mid-July.
If the bipartisan bill fails, the Democrats can simply fold the provisions in it into their larger infrastructure bill that they intend to pass through budget reconciliation, which cannot be blocked by a filibuster. This larger, $3.5 trillion measure includes funding for human infrastructure, such as childcare, and for addressing climate change. It also will move corporate taxation from the 21% established by the 2017 tax cut up to about 28%. It was 35% before the 2017 tax cut.
The Democrats need to get these measures through because they are facing serious financial deadlines. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 suspended the debt ceiling — the amount the country can borrow — only until July 31 of this year. And the budget needs to be hammered out by September 30. If it isn't, government funding can be extended by a continuing resolution, but in the past, Republicans have sometimes chosen to shut down the government instead.
All of this will take place while the House select committee to investigate the January 6 insurrection will be holding hearings. On July 19 House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made it clear he intends to disrupt those hearings: three of the five people he named to the committee — Jim Banks (R-IN), Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Troy Nehls (R-TX) — voted to challenge the election results in Pennsylvania and Arizona, thus helping to legitimize the Big Lie that led to the insurrection.
In today's struggle over the nature of government, the Democrats are at a disadvantage. They want to use the government to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty, just as Lincoln and FDR and Eisenhower advocated. To drive their individualist vision, though, all the Republicans have to do is stop the Democrats.
