At Washington's behest
Canada arrests top Chinese executive for "sanctions busting"
By Keith Jones and Roger Jordan
Acting at Washington's behest, Canadian authorities have arrested a senior executive of Huawei Technologies, the Chinese telecommunications giant, for allegedly violating US economic sanctions against Iran.
The arrest and impending extradition of Meng Wanzhou to the US is a diplomatic and geopolitical provocation. Asian and other global stock markets fell sharply Thursday, due to expectations that the US effort to seize and prosecute Meng will roil US-Chinese relations and torpedo the 90-day "truce" in the US-China tariff war that US President Trump and Chinese President Xi agreed to on the sidelines of last weekend's G20 summit.
Meng is not just the chief financial officer and one of four deputy chairs of China's largest private company and the world's second largest maker of mobile phones. She is the daughter of Huawei's founder and current head, Ren Zhengfei.
Meng was reportedly arrested in Vancouver last Saturday, while changing planes. However, her arrest was made public only on Wednesday evening. She is to appear at what Canadian authorities have described as a bail hearing today.
That Meng's arrest was a calculated provocation is underscored by its timing. US National Security Adviser John Bolton has said that he was aware Meng was in the process of being apprehended when he joined Trump for his Saturday evening dinner meeting with Xi and other top Chinese officials. Yet the Americans breathed not a word about the bombshell they were about to burst, with Canada's assistance.
As Li Daokui, a prominent scholar at Tsinghua University put it, "Imagine that Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg was detained in Japan or Korea at the request of the Chinese government. Imagine what the political response would be in the US."
US officials and Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders have all hailed Meng's arrest, which is fully in line with American global strategy—both in targeting China's high-tech sector and in using US sanctions to threaten and bully states, political leaders, and US corporate rivals around the world.
"Americans are grateful that our Canadian partners have arrested the chief financial officer of a giant Chinese telecom company for breaking US sanctions against Iran," enthused Republican Senator Ben Sasse, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Chinese authorities, as would be expected, have vehemently protested Meng's arrest.
"Detaining a person without providing an explanation has undoubtedly violated her human rights," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang. China, said Geng, "has made clear its stern position to the Canadian side and the US side respectively on this, demanding them to immediately clarify the reason for the detention, immediately release the detainee and earnestly protect the legal and legitimate rights and interests of the person involved."
Meng's arrest has huge global geopolitical implications.
First, it underscores Washington's determination to enforce its punishing, illegal sanctions against Iran. In recent months, top US officials have repeatedly threatened to personally target corporate executives and bankers, including those from SWIFT and other European-based firms, if they refuse to serve as conscripts in Washington's economic war on Iran.
Second, and even more importantly, it represents a significant escalation in the ever deepening economic and military-strategic conflict between the US and China.
For both commercial and military reasons, Huawei is a major US target in this conflict.
Washington has been demanding that its partners in the US National Security Agency-led Five Eyes global spying network—Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand—take action to limit Huawei's role in their cellphone networks, and to outright exclude it from the development of 5-G mobile communications.
This is being justified on security grounds, that is, on the claim that Chinese authorities could work with Huawei in the same way the NSA does with Microsoft, Apple and other US computer and telecommunications giants to create "backdoors" that facilitate state surveillance.
But there are also huge commercial and military-security motivations for the US offensive against Huawei and China's other major telecommunications manufacturer, ZTE. The latter has been subject to US financial and other penalties for allegedly violating US sanctions on Iran and North Korea.
Washington is determined to prevent Beijing from realizing its goal of becoming a leader in the production of high-tech goods by 2025, because this would eat into the market share and profits of US high-tech companies and threaten America's military superiority.
The United States, Australia and New Zealand have already banned Huawei from their respective 5G networks.
On Wednesday, British Telecom announced that it would exclude Huawei from its 4G operations, two days after the head of Britain's secret service MI6, Alex Younger, warned that London had to take a decision about how far it was willing to go in its dealings with the Chinese tech giant.
Japanese media are reporting that Tokyo will announce today a ban on government purchases of Huawei and ZTE equipment.
Canada has come under increasing pressure from Washington to take action against Huawei.
"I continue to strongly urge Canada to reconsider Huawei's inclusion in any aspect of its 5G development, introduction and maintenance," said Republican Senator Marco Rubio, in welcoming Meng's arrest.
In October, Rubio and Democratic senator and vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee Mark Warner co-authored a letter to the Canadian government that said Canada's access to intelligence-sharing through the Five Eyes could be jeopardized if it did not exclude Huawei and all other "Chinese state-directed telecommunications companies" from the development and deployment of the country's 5G network.
In a statement that suggested all major Chinese firms should be viewed as national security threats, Warner and Rubio declared, "There is ample evidence to suggest that no major Chinese company is independent of the Chinese government and Communist Party—and Huawei, which China's government and military tout as a 'national champion,' is no exception."
Sections of Canada's military-security apparatus, including two former heads of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and a former head of the NSA's Canadian partner, the Communications Security Establishment, have seconded these calls. Meanwhile, the country's most influential newspaper, the Globe and Mail, has published a series of lurid reports, based largely on innuendo and unsubstantiated claims, complaining about growing Chinese political influence in Canada.
This campaign has been aimed not just at prodding the Liberal government to take action against Huawei, but also at putting the brakes on its plans to pursue a free trade agreement with China.
Yesterday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that he knew in advance of Meng's arrest, before making the absurd claim that it was a purely administrative-judicial matter and that he and his government played no part in a decision with huge consequences for Canadian-Chinese and global interstate relations.
Trudeau and his Liberals have been bending over backwards to accommodate the Trump administration, with the aim of securing a revised North American Free Trade Agreement that preserves largely unfettered US market access for Canadian big business and the Canada-US military security partnership on which the Canadian bourgeoisie depends to assert its imperialist interests around the globe.
As part of the revised NAFTA (or the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, as Trump likes to call it), Canada agreed to a US demand for a provision prohibiting if from concluding a free trade agreement with a "non-market economy"—a clear reference to China—without prior approval from Washington.
The Canadian government's complicity in Meng's arrest underscores that with the rapid escalation of economic, military and geopolitical tensions between Washington and Beijing, Ottawa is lining up four-square behind US imperialism. Indeed, the Canadian military now touts the South China Sea and Strait of Malacca, likely key battlegrounds in any US-China clash, as of vital strategic importance to Canada.
This shift is motivated above all by the understanding, which has guided Canadian imperialist policy for the past three-quarters of a century, that it can best pursue its own predatory global interests in alliance with Washington and Wall Street.
Absent the revolutionary intervention of the international working class, the logic of American imperialism's increasingly desperate drive to thwart China's rise and thereby shore up its global power is a catastrophic war. In a bellicose speech in October, US Vice President Mike Pence accused Beijing of "pursuing a comprehensive and coordinated campaign to undermine support for the president, our agenda, and our nation's most cherished ideals." In terms reminiscent of the anti-communist tirades of the Cold War, he denounced China for "military aggression" and outlined a strategy for diplomatic, economic and military confrontation with China, declaring ominously, "We will not stand down. We will not be intimidated."

Have any of you guys experience the following problem with setting up the bitcraze client on Windows?
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine BitcrazeVM.
VD: Backend 'VMDK' does not support discard (VERR_VD_DISCARD_NOT_SUPPORTED).
I found this 2015 post, completely devoid of any useful info here.
What version of the VM and of Virtualbox are you using?
I downloaded the latest version of Virtual Box, version 5.2 and the latest release of the VM available on the github page, BitcrazeVM_2018.01.
Install it by double clicking on it (Should have virtualbox open, I think).
Then you can fire up the bitcraze VM.
Nope, I also had that error, download the vitualbox extension pack and it fixed the error I was having, but not the one I am currently stuck on.
Please tell us if it works, if so we should have that disabled by default when creating the next VM.

Lexie Slater
When Lexie Slater-Folksman was born at 23 weeks - an age at which babies can still be aborted - she weighed just 1lb 8oz. She was put on a life support machine and her parents were warned their daughter might not pull through.
She was so premature her eyes hadn't even developed properly. At a month old she underwent laser surgery on her eyes and then spent week after week on ventilator machines after she suffered collapsed lungs.
But Lexie defied the odds and gradually gained strength.
Now, six months after her birth, she weighs a healthy 8lb and has finally been allowed home, to the joy and relief of her parents, 20-year-old Sarah Slater and her fiance Richard Folksman, 25.
'I never realised a baby would be so well developed at 23 weeks and they do have a chance of life.
'She added: 'I'm so grateful to everyone at the hospital who helped to keep our daughter alive. She's a little fighter and I can't imagine life without her.
'At 22 weeks, she was taken to hospital after her waters broke. Doctors attempted to halt the labour amid fears the baby wouldn't survive.
Less than a week later, Miss Slater gave birth to her daughter.
'When she came out they showed me a quick glance of her. She was absolutely tiny.
'They had an incubator all ready for her and took her to the neonatal unit.
'Lexie was obviously very, very ill,' her mother said. 'Her lungs hadn't developed properly and they kept collapsing.
'She also had surgery early on at five weeks because the back of her eyes hadn't developed. They were glued shut when she was born. When she opened them for the first time, I was so excited and relieved.
'She was in Hope Hospital in Manchester for 15 weeks, and then was in hospital in Wigan. It was such a relief when she got to Wigan - she was closer to all of us.
'Her mother added:
Lexie is an inspiration - it just goes to show that you should never give up hope.

Economy Markets
This Christmas Say No, for Now, to Shopping
Portfolio > Economy & Markets

The original version of this story was published on Research Magazine
News sources are already reporting sightings of the Grinch poised to steal Christmas. Subpar sales are signaling a frigid holiday season ahead, and retailers are aggressively courting consumers through deep discounts. But Americans should avoid this snare.
Despite the economic gloom of the past several years, consumers in over their heads in debt have been responding, slowly, by paying off their obligations and increasing savings. A recent survey by Consumer Reports indicates the percentage of holiday shoppers who charged over $1,000 on their credit cards fell to 16 percent in 2010 from 23 percent the previous year. But holiday shoppers spent a still extravagant $556 on average, and 6 percent of Americans are still paying off their holiday charges from 2010.
In an earlier era, a time when Americans were better known for creating rather than spending wealth, Poor Richard would have rather gone to the public library his alter ego Ben Franklin founded as a young man than purchase a Kindle; he'd patch his wife's purse before buying her a Prada handbag. We need to relearn this trait of thrift that made Poor Richard's Almanack a runaway bestseller in Colonial America because it has far lasting benefits even for us, even today.
In one of the most effective behavioral experiments ever conducted, psychologist Walter Mischel offered a marshmallow, Oreo cookie or pretzel to 600 4- to 6-year-olds, but promised them a second marshmallow (or cookie, etc.) if they waited 15 minutes before eating their treat. Some of the kids gobbled the candy right away, but of those who attempted to delay the gratification, just one-third managed to wait out the clock.
It was what happened decades later that made this 1972 experiment at Stanford University so famous. Because the professor's children had grown up with many of the test subjects, Mischel learned anecdotally that the original test seemed to be predictive of success in later life. A follow-up study conducted in 1990 showed that the group that was able to wait for that second marshmallow had significantly better SAT scores. And a further study this year shows the participants, now in their 40s, maintain the same disposition to either delay gratification or seek it immediately.
S&P Warns of Euro Zone Downgrades if Recession Recurs
To be sure, the researchers did not offer marshmallows to the 40-year-olds this time, but the new rewards separated the two groups as before and were accompanied by imaging showing a more active prefrontal cortex among gratification delayers and a more stimulated ventral striatum (an area associated with addiction) among non-delayers.
Professor Mischel noted the genuine agony of the kids tortured by the temptation of that first marshmallow, and agony it is for Americans today who find it hard to resist that luxury car, home improvement or holiday gift for a friend. But only a return to this kind of individual discipline can restore the national character that saw our rise to greatness.

In Athens, young founders provide free mobile laundry services to many Greeks who are without homes. Meanwhile, in Toronto, an art program helps at-risk Canadian youths learn about photography. These are just some of the creative ways that founders of social enterprises and other ventures around the world are giving back and tackling a global issue: homelessness.
1. Burning candles to help shelters
Frères Branchiaux is a candle company founded by three brothers—all under the age of 12. The boys started the business to save up money for video games, but middle brother Ryan loves that he's also able to help others. Frères Branchiaux donates 10 percent of their profits to a local homeless shelter. The cause is close to home for the family. "I had family members who are homeless," Ryan says. "We took them in and helped them get back on their feet."
2. Giving the homeless a chance to grow
SucSeed is a Canadian company that builds hydroponic systems, enabling their customers, no matter where they live, to grow fresh produce at home. All of SucSeed's products are made by at-risk and homeless youth under the guidance of botanists and engineers.
3. Amplifying voices
The Curbside Chronicle is an Oklahoma City street publication dedicated to empowering homeless and low-income individuals. Sales of the magazine helped more than 40 people move into affordable housing in 2017. The paper also runs another program called Wrap Up Homelessness, selling artist-designed wrapping paper and donating profits to the cause. "The issue of homelessness is really stigmatized," says director Ranya O'Connor. "It's important in everything we do that we know and see the humans behind this issue."
4. Offering free mobile (laundry) services
Employment options were dismal for Athens-born Thanos Spiliopoulos, so he started a business aimed at helping the city's homeless. Thanks in part to the Greek debt crisis as well as a steady influx of refugees, there are many people homeless in Athens. Thanos and his friend Fanis Tsonas fundraised to launch Ithaca Laundry, Greece's first free mobile laundry service. The company washes about 25 bags of clothes for the homeless each day.
5. Passing the lens
Gilad Cohen is the founder of JAYU, a Toronto-based charity that shares human-rights stories through the arts and dialogue. One of his projects, iAM, pairs homeless and at-risk youth with professional photographers, teaching them to capture photos of their city. The resulting photos, along with accompanying voice recordings, are featured and sold in an exhibit, with all of the profits benefiting underserved youth.
6. Supporting homeless artists
Formerly homeless, David Tovey is the founder of ONE Festival of Homeless Arts, a London-based arts festival that profiles the work of artists, including many who are homeless, in photography, poetry, painting, and the performing arts. He also sells T-shirts through an online store and social-arts project Hopeful Traders. Proceeds from David's own designs support a charity that helps people who are homeless get back on their feet.

Biserica de lemn din Merișani se află în localitatea omonimă, comuna Băbăița din județul Teleorman și poartă hramul "Sfântul Nicolae". Este antedatată de o inscripție din anul 7317 al erei bizantine, anul 1809 ai erei noastre, fiind în fapt cu mult mai veche. Este una dintre bisericile călătoare, fiind adusă din Muscel, din satul Vultureștii de Jos, și ridicată pe locul actual înainte de anul 1865. Biserica din Merișani prezintă valori documentare și artistice demne de păstrat, mai ales într-o zonă unde numărul vechilor biserici de lemn rămase este redus. Se remarcă prin structura bine păstrată și elemente decorative, accentuate la intrare, pridvor și ferestre. Insripția de pe dosul ușii de la intrare constituie un valoros izvor documentar. Biserica este înscrisă pe noua listă a monumentelor istorice, LMI 2004: .

Istoric
După tradiția locală, biserica de lemn este una călătoare. Ea a fost adusă cu căruțele în Merișani, fost Călugărița sau Jarcaleți, din satul Vultureștii de Jos, zona Muscelului. Inscripția din dosul ușii de la intrare stă mărturie prețioasă asupra vechimii lăcașului. Inscripția se păstrează în întregime iar textul în română, scris cu chirilice, se poate citi astfel: " Anul 7317 luna martie ziua 18, de diaconul Constandin i Vasile, sub înalta cârmuire a preasfințitului mitropolit Dosoftei". Anul erei bizantine 7317 corespunde anului 1809 după nașterea lui Christos, în anul păstoriei mitropolitului Dositei Filitti. Inscripția de la 1809 nu pare a fi cea de la ridicarea lăcașului, consemnând mai degrabă o refacere a ei. Catagrafia de la 1810 din fostul județ Muscel, nu consemna vechimea bisericii din Vulturești ci doar că era în stare bună. Totuși, preoții care serveau în biserica cu hramul "Cuvioasa Paraschiva" erau sfințiți pentru această biserică mult înaintea inscripției de pe ușă. Preotul Damaschin sin Bârzescu, 40 de ani, era sfințit în anul 1795 pentru această biserică, preotul și cântărețul Constantin sin popa Nicolae, 41 de ani, fusese sfințit pentru biserică în anul 1797, diaconul Ioan sin Marin, 50 de ani, era sfințit pentru aceeași biserică în anul 1790. Constantin sin popa Nicolae se poate identifica cu diaconul Constantin, cel care s-a semnat pe dosul ușii în anul 1809. Așadar, inscripția din dosul intrării foarte probabil doar antedatează construcția, aceasta fiind mult mai veche. Spre aceeași concluzie trimite și starea de uzură a grinzilor de stejar din butea bisericii, care nu corespunde unei biserici de secol 19.

Un eveniment important din destinul acestei construcții este transferul și reconstrucția ei în Merișani. Momentul în care a avut loc este indicat înainte de 1865. În localitate nu a existat o altă biserică imediat anterioară, lipsind din catagrafiile din 1810, 1831 și din harta rusească din 1835, Nu se știe de ce a fost adusă de la o asemenea depărtare, circa 120 km, dar se știe că înainte de secularizarea averilor mănăstirești din 1863 și de reforma agrară din 1864, fostul sat Călugărița, astăzi satul Merișani, era propietatea schitului de călugărițe Nămăești iar drumul dintre schit și moșie trecea prin satul Vultureștii de Jos. Odată cu remontarea bisericii în Merișani a fost probabil adăugat un turn peste pridvor și poate chiar pridvorul în fața intrării. Lemnele din pridvor par a fi mai puțin uzate decât cele din pereți, indicând un adaus al pridvorului într-o fază secundară.

Biserica a fost restaurată în anul 1888, după un incendiu, și în 1939-1940, în regia Comisiunii Monumentelor Istorice.

Trăsături
Biserica din Merișani are dimensiuni modeste, planimetrie comună și câteva elemente artistice care o scot în evidență.

De la vest la est, biserica este împărțită în cele patru încăperi tradiționale: pridvor închis, tindă și naos, despărțite de un perete, și altar. Altarul este mai îngust și terminat poligonal, în cinci laturi. Peretele de nord al naosului este prelungit în dreptul altarului, atât cât să formeze un mic buzunar pentru proscomidie deschis în altar. Iconostasul păstrează icoanele împărătești, de o parte și de alta a celor trei uși spre altar. Bolta interioară trece din naos în tindă. Încăperile sunt luminate de un număr redus de ferestre, în mod surprinzător, toate în formele originale.

Structura originală se păstrează în mare parte și a fost ridicată din bârne de stejar, fasonate din lemne crepate. Bârnele au fost încheiate la colțuri în cheotori netede, bisericești, în coadă de rândunică. Între bârne au apărut în timp spații libere, care au fost închise pe exterior cu șipci. Acolo unde golurile sunt vizibile, se văd din loc în loc câte un cep care leagă bârnele pe verticală, oprind deformările din perete. Se remarcă gradul mai ridicat de uzură al grinzilor din butea bisericii în comparație cu cele din pridvor.

Din punct de vedere artistic, se remarcă în principal funia mediană, funia de pe portalul de la intrare, de pe pe cadrele ferestrelor cât și tăietura expresivă a stâlpilor de la pridvor și a cosoroabelor care îi leagă în partea de sus. Sculptura puternic profilată în jurul ferestrelor și brâul median amintesc într-o oarecare măsură de bisericile din Jupânești, Valea Faurului și din Cerșani Vale, toate din zona din care a fost adusă biserica.

I haven't been able to spend much time in the craftroom recently but I have been able to make this card for my mum and dad's anniversary yesterday.
I heat-embossed the Impression Obsessions lovecats stamp and then blended regular distress ink on top. I cut a heart from a separate piece of card using an Essentials by Ellen heart die and adhered it over the cat image using foam tape.
To finish off the card I added a sentiment from My Favourite Things and some hearts cut using a Memory Box die.
Belated Happy Anniversary to my lovely parents!

Aguaterra is an on-going project of mine. In our spare, my husband and myself, are researching and concocting new types of organic skincare products, some inspired by old family remedies! A hobby turned into a fun and lucrative business.
Inspired by what we each bring to the table in our own lives, we made the brand about ourselves.
Ãguaterra's story, even though the name means 'water-land', is really a story about the founders. One that has evolved over time, and aims to evolve even more! Each founder grew up with an affinity for either land or sea. One loving the mountains and earth, while the other spent his days splashing and diving in the oceans. It wasn't until they had each grown up that they left their comforts and even what was natural to them behind, for the stresses and thrills that city life provides. And it was there, in that harsh and wondrous place, that they grew to their true potential, and together brought union to water and land. Realizing that they longed for the beauty of their environments, but only after being made strong by the other's elements. Filled with strength, and an appreciation for beauty, the founders decided to bring that concept and lifestyle together, creating Ãguaterra. We don't just sell you products that are made from the land and sea, we sell you a lifestyle that embodies them.
Resilience is a cyber security company that manufactures high end firewalls for large system-wide protection. I was hired as their in-house designer for thee and a half years, where I got the chance to build their brand and use their message throughout a visual representation system.
First off, I was doing mostly print work. Executing all of their branded flyers, pop-ups, business cards, etc. But in the last year and a half of my being there, I was allowed to redesign their logo and branding system.
As far as the design concept itself, it had much to do with the company message. And the special technology that separated them from the competition. With their "Defense in depth" technology, I paired it with the sun as a visual metaphor. The sun being a perfect example of fiery layers protecting the core, so that coupled with the brand's color, lead me to this dynamic design.
Nature stems from geometry. Which, when simplified, can be reduced down to simple shapes.
These simple shapes inspired me to develop a logo that was clean and modern to attract a younger crowd that is looking for an extra kick to get them through their busy days.
NRG Tea is an all natural tea, focused on the energizing and revitalizing aspect of caffeinated tea. Meant to help you get through your day! Only without the bad breath and yellow teeth.
Mariusz was my first freelance client ever, he came to me asking about a personal portfolio site that he could use in various interviews and as a means of a self-advertising.
Mariusz is a high-end personal decorator for the well-to-do's of manhattan, where he uses his talent to bring sophistication and elegance to the homes of his clients.
Organizing all the images properly was perhaps the greatest challenge here, he had a large volume of images to add and they needed to be viewable/accessible by the type of design he had done.
This was an app I worked on that was an all-around exercise apps. The design is inspired and based on the way that proteins connect and structure themselves into muscle fibers.
As far as the goal of the app, it was to create a platform that effectively tracks you physical progress, as well as your nutritional guide. Then go back in time and see how far you have come, because who doensn't like a pat on the back?
Abuzz Rooftop honey is produced in the busy city of New York. That's right, there are bee's in NYC! But not to fear, these guys are kept in hives on rooftops in all five boroughs. Each with its' own special flavor.
Everything about this design stems from the Bee's perspective. Using aerial photography and shapes that brings the bee's-eye-view to us.
Gummo, a movie directed by Harmony Korine, is about a poor midwestern town after it has been destroyed by devastating tornado.
Keeping the tornado in mind, and how it ravaged the town and its' people, I wanted to start off with a clean pool of spinning water that gradually becomes dirtier and dirtier. The soundtrack was created with the same concept in mind, with the layering of recorded sounds and music helps create the same, off-putting tone that was intended by the imagery.
Please note that this was a purely a school project and that I have no intention on using this for any monetary gain.
Although I am a designer, I like to dabble in the illustrative arts as well. Especially to help me cut loose after a long day in the studio.
Besides, while growing up I was drawing constantly. Why stop now?
An illustration for an old aphorism "sin is carried in the mouth"
From the infamous "craigslist missed connections" we were assigned to go online and pick out someone's post at random and create an illustration for to go along with it.
A short story, about the devil and his accidental release of all of his prisoners, heaven's angels.
For this project, I was assigned to do an illustration for one of the rings of hell in "Dante's Inferno"
One of my first loves was photography. Although, I am by no means a photographer, it is a hobby of mine nonetheless. And with this project I wanted to take on the challenge of illustrating a well known fable with photography.
The moral of the story is that we cannot overcome our nature, even if it works against our own interests.
A story I found fascinating and using the metaphor of the flowers and the models to convey the personalities and shortcomings of a "scorpion" or a "frog"
Self-destruction being an obvious theme here. Whether or not it is your own nature to harm yourself, or to trust so blindly that you overlook the obvious consequences of your decisions.

Where Underpants Come From
Joe Bennett (Simon & Schuster)
The author embarks on a journey through China to trace a pair of underpants from department store shelves backwards through the various stages of production.
On the way, he maps the social and economic changes driving China's emergence as an economic powerhouse.
Bennett is at his best when self-deprecatingly sketching his travails as a fish out of water, but labours to inject try-hard Gonzo flourishes.
That's fine if you're Hunter S Thomspon, but Bennett's voice isn't interesting enough to justify the technique.
Also, Bennett allows himself to get bogged down in the mundane procedural detail of his mission – presenting the reader with full transcripts of email correspondence with his various sources.
The book suffers from the conceit that it's an investigative, socio-economic study, when it's no more than a gimmicky romp which isn't much fun to begin with.
It leaves the reader asking why Bennett bothered.

Hibernate is most popular Object relational Mapping (ORM) framework and if you have used hibernate and has good experience on it , then you may face good hibernate interview questions. I am sharing some important hibernate interview questions here.
ORM stands for Object Relational mapping. It is programming paradigm which is used to persist java objects to database tables.
Hibernate is pure ORM tool which is used to save old java objects to database tables. The main goal of hibernate to avoid old JDBC code and focus more on business logic. You need to write less code with it.
3. What are advantages of Hibernate?
You do not need to maintain JDBC code , Hibernate takes care of it.
4. Explain architecture of Hibernate?
Following is detail architecture of hibernate with core classes.
Hibernate is like a bridge between java code and relation database and provide object oriented API to deal with JDBC tasks.
5. What are some core interfaces of hibernate?
6. Explain brief about Session interface used in hibernate?
Session interface is primarily used by hibernate application. Session is light weight,short lived objects which are inexpensive to create and destroy. It allows you to create query objects to retrieve persistent objects.It wraps JDBC connection Factory for Transaction.It holds a mandatory (first-level) cache of persistent objects, used when navigating the object graph or looking up objects by identifier .
7. Are session objects thread safe?
Session objects are not thread safe and need to be used in single threads.
8. Explain brief about SessionFactory object used in hibernate?
SessionFactory is heavy weight object and it should be created one per database. SessionFactory object is shared by multiple sessions.
9. What is Configuration class in hibernate?
Configuration class is used to load required hibernate configuration. It is used to bootstrap hibernate and it is used to locate to hibernate mapping file.
10. What are differences between openSession and getCurrentSession in hibernate?
You need to configure additional property "hibernate.current_session_context_class" to call getCurrentSession method, otherwise it will throw exceptions.
11. What are differences between get and load methods in hibernate?
This is one of the most asked hibernate interview questions.
12. Can you declare Entity class as final in hibernate?
Yes, you can declare entity class as final but it is not considered as a good practice because hibernate uses proxy pattern for lazy initialisation, If you declare it as final then hibernate won't be able to create sub class and won't be able to use proxy pattern, so it will limit performance and improvement options.
13. Differentiate between first level cache and second level cache?
This is one of most important hibernate interview questions.
It is associated at Session level.
It is associated at SessionFactory level and is generally exists one per application.
14. What are states of object in hibernate?
Transient : If object is in transient state, it means it was never associated with session and just created.
Persistent : If object is in persistent state, it means it is associated with session and you just saved or retrieved object from database.
Detached : If object is in detached state, it means session is closed and object is no more part of session. If you call merge or update, object goes back to persistent state.
15. Does entity class in hibernate require no arg constructor?
Yes, Entity class in hibernate requires no arg constructor because Hibernate use reflection to create instance of entity class and it mandates no arg constructor in Entity class.
HQL stands for Hibernate query language. It is very simple, efficient and object oriented query languages which simplifies complex SQL queries. Instead of table, you use object to write queries.
17. What are differences between save and saveOrUpdate method of session object?
save: Save stores object in database. It generates identifier for the object and returns it. If object already exists in database, it will throw an error.
saveOrUpdate : SaveOrUpdate method save the object if identifies does not exist. If it exists , it calls update method.
18. What are two types of Collections in hibernate?
19. What are differences between sorted and ordered collection in hibernate?
Sorted collection uses java's sorting API to sort the collection.
20. What is lazy loading in hibernate?
It is used for performance improvement. Lazy loading means when you load parent, child objects won't get loaded until requested. Infact hibernate loads child objects autamtically when you access them. It improves performance as you are not loading whole object at once.
21. What is LazyInitializationException in Hibernate? Why do you get it?
This exception generally occurs when you use lazy loading and child objects are accessed after closing session.
That's all about hibernate interview questions.

Kylie Jenner Donated $1 Million To Australia After Wearing Louis Vuitton Mink Slippers On Instagram
by Starr Bowenbank | Jan 8, 2020
PHOTO: INSTAGRAM/KYLIEJENNER
It's been an incredibly rough couple of days for Australia—the country is literally burning right now due to a series of devastating fires that has left its citizens and wildlife in serious danger. A whopping one billion animals have died already and a reported 25 victims have lost their lives in the ongoing crisis, which is projected to last for at least one to two months from now. People from all around the world are trying to figure out how they can help, and some of your favorite celebrities are beginning to chime in too.
One of the most recent celebrities to talk about the fires is billionaire Kylie Jenner, who posted an Instagram Story last night about the endangered wildlife. She wrote, "Over half a BILLION animals have been killed in Australia. This breaks my heart," which sounds like she's trying to be an aware human being, right?
INSTAGRAM/KYLIEJENNER
But then the snap following that literally showed Kylie wearing $1,480 (P76,000) mink-fur Louis Vuitton slippers—mink fur, as in a fur that comes from an actual animal. Understandably, people online called Kylie out for hypocrisy.
Well, it looks like Kylie heard the negative feedback loud and clear, because she just made a hefty $1 million (P51 million) donation toward the various relief efforts helping to fight the Australian fires. According to a People source, Kylie's choice of snaps was a mistake (you don't say!), and she wants it to be known that she does care about what Australia is going through right now. "That post was completely unintentional," the source said. "Kylie stands behind her desire to want to help provide relief toward the devastation the fires have caused."
Kylie's far from the first in her family to receive hate online for a lack of support toward Australia. Kylie's sister Kim Kardashian recently received backlash online after tweeting "climate change is real," which prompted a ton of angry people to come for her in the comments section. "Nothing gets me more heated than to see the Kardashians/Jenners talk about climate change/wildfires & not donate even a penny," a user wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
Kim replied and said, "Nothing gets me more heated than to see people think they know what we donated to and to think we have to publicize everything."
As a result, Khloé Kardashian later came to Kim's aid on Twitter. "Good deeds should be done with intention and not for attention," she wrote. "We are all blessed to be able to bless others even if it is in the slightest way. But we do not need to be boastful about that. Be boastful in regards to teaching others how they may be able to help as well." Kim retweeted it.
Welp, it's great that someone in the Kardashian-Jenner family made a donation to Australia that we actually know about.

Do You Need Snacks for a Threesome?
When it comes to group sex, you might work up an appetite
Having a sexual experience with two other people at once remains a pinnacle ambition of the wild and horny. But the fantasy, whether it derives from porn or one's own vivid daydreams, is sometimes rapidly undone by the material logistics of the act. One party may feel left out; a pairing may not have the chemistry that the others do; the bed may be a tad too small to accommodate everyone. Add to this delicate balancing act the accoutrements like condoms, toys, lube and role-play, and you have a world of complexity to manage.
And that's before you ask yourself a critical question that wouldn't occur to a threesome novice: What snacks you got?
Ah, beautiful. Leave it to Reddit's robust polyamory group — more than 130,000 members, which adds up to a lot of fuckin' — to show us a real-life group sex buffet spread. Except… is this… good? I have my own messy history with the polyamorist lifestyle, and I wish all the best for those on that journey. I only question the impulse to document the three-way pregame in photos for any weirdo on the internet to look at, and the choice to offer your sex guest strongly flavored kettle chips with room-temperature canned gin cocktails. Then again, what do I know. My only threesomes (and one absurd foursome) were generally unsuccessful, drug-and-drink-fueled affairs, and no food was ever on hand. Perhaps things would have gone differently with a fortifying bowl of almonds nearby, or a board of charcuterie. Hmmmm!
One recalls the wisdom of Frank Reynolds, the demented patriarch from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, brought to grotesque life by the incomparable Danny DeVito. Upon walking into a supposed apartment "orgy" that lacks the elite sensibility of the masquerade in Eyes Wide Shut, Frank immediately heads for the casserole trays and starts serving himself. He removes his mask, explaining that "this beak is interfering with my nosh."
He rationalizes the presence of the hearty dishes as a practical courtesy: "You don't wanna bang on an empty stomach, do ya?" That Frank does not have sex with anyone after eating doesn't wholly discredit his argument, though it's a reminder that overindulging at dinner can forestall the act of coitus, which after all does require a degree of athleticism, however slight. A meal may leave you too full to function.
Water, and juice and maybe wine, a charcuterie tray, some grapes.
— Silly E. Badu (@superliqued) January 7, 2020
So is there a happy medium when it comes to a dresser loaded with tasty treats to enjoy mid-fuckfest? You are trying to satisfy an extra person, so I get the desire to keep your energy up. At the same time, as mentioned, anything too heavy is going to slow you down, and the greasy stuff will have you tearing through that pack of baby wipes in no time. I guess it's best to stick with acceptably "sensual" munchies — strawberries, chocolate, etc. — and for god's sake, what about some water? Hydration would seem to be far more important than a sodium fix. Electrolytes, that's a thing, right?
In any case, when it comes to the nibbles, definitely sort out any allergies or dietary restrictions beforehand. Congratulations on the boning, and particularly on pulling off the coveted three-way in wholesome, satisfying fashion. That alone has more than earned you the privilege of any snack you deem fit for the bedroom. Stay horny, friends.

Scores of ad-hoc staff who participated in the last Presidential and National Assembly elections in Oyo state have abandoned their respective polling units in fear of violence in Ibadan North West Local Government Area.
The development, newsmen report has made the electoral officers in the local government to hurriedly begin the process of replacing the young men and women who failed to report to the local government yesterday.
There are 11 electoral wards in Ibadan North West.
The development was noticed by newsmen who visited Onireke, headquarters of the local government when they saw scores of young men and women putting down their names to replace those who did not report for the elections.
An INEC official who identified himself as Olusegun told journalists that they were surprised that some of those who served in the last elections could not report due to fear of attacks.
Though, the state command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), had told newsmen that the command has deployed no fewer than three thousand and five hundred personnel to provide security cover for the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections taking place today in the 33 local government area of the state.
Public Relations Officer (PRO), of the command, Mr. Olusegun Oluwole, made this disclosure while speaking in an interview with newsmen at the command's headquarters in Ibadan, the state capital on Friday.
Oluwole maintained that the officers who were already in their areas of deployment were deployed in order to ensure hitch-free elections.
He said, "The NSCDC Oyo state command has deployed about 3,500 officers to monitor the elections in the 33 LGAs and 35 LCDAs. You can see our vehicles there, some have gone. Those who are going to far places have gone. We have taken the issue of vote buying serious and we are doing it along with other security agencies. We are putting our heads together to ensure that security threat is tackled.
"Most of the senior management staff from the headquarters are also here in our zone. With that, we are going to have credible and fair elections. Our officers are going to work with other security agencies. We are going to have tight security tomorrow. So, there will be no problem.
"The way and the training they are giving our officers, you must be apolitical. All of us that will be going out, all of us have been trained on electoral matters. And that is why we are giving out our numbers to report in case of any complaint.
Olusegun while speaking with journalists on how the ad-hoc staff failed to report today said, "Some of those who participated in the last elections could not come due to fear of attacks.
'You can see, we have to call for replacement of those who could not report.
"Those who are being used for replacement are already putting down their names.
"There are 11 wards in this local government, what we did is that, when we noticed the shortfall of the personnel, we called for replacement.
"I don't know the figure now, but it cut across the local government, it may be due to fear of attacks. Though, we don't know what they did not report".

    {
        $request['SHIPTOSTATE'] = isset($payment->shipping_state) ? $payment->shipping_state : $payment->shipping_province;
    }

Is there a keyword/an easier way to set $request['SHIPTOSTATE']to the variable which exists, since I already confirmed one of the two do in fact exist?
Something like:
if ($payment->shipping_state OR $payment->shipping_province)
{
  $var = $this;
}

A: $data = (!empty($payment->shipping_state))?$payment->shipping_state:$payment->shipping_province;
if (!empty($data))
    $request['SHIPTOSTATE'] = $data;

Rebellion has released the launch trailer for its upcoming World War II shooter Sniper Elite 4. Entitled "Timing is Everything", the trailer shows off what the main character can do and the importance of how you should approach each combat situation.
Three extra campaign missions: a separate three-chapter campaign telling the story of how protagonist Karl Fairburne escapes Italy.
Three extra expansion packs: to be released alongside a campaign mission, each expansion will include three new weapons, eight weapon skins, and two new characters for use in co-op and multiplayer.
Yet more expansion packs: more weapons, including silenced weapons, famous historical allied wartime rifles, and close-quarters weapons and equipment, as well as three more co-op and multiplayer characters.
Although there's a Season Pass, Rebellion has previously confirmed that all future multiplayer maps and modes will be released for free for everyone.
Sniper Elite 4 releases tomorrow, February 14, on PS4, Xbox One and PC.


A basic, useful, little budget plane for users who need a bullnose plane now-and-then.
The Stanley number 75 is a small two-piece bullnose rebate plane consisting of an upper black coloured piece and a lower steel piece.
The bottom half of the lower section is exposed natural steel, the top half of the lower section has the black Stanley finish.
The plane is designed with it's blade positioned very close to the end of the plane with only a short sole in front of the blade's cutting edge. This allows the plane to be used almost all of the way into a corner.
The mouth's opening can be adjusted by loosening the large screw at the top of the plane, located just behind the top part of the blade. This screw is also used to adjust the depth of the cut by hand. The setting of the mouth and the blade is done manually without the use of fine adjustment mechanism's.
Record made an identical model no. 075 bullnose plane which we find is more popular / collectable and is a little harder to find than the Stanley model. The blade on the Record model is also slightly thicker than the Stanley blade. Edward Preston also briefly made an almost identical model of this plane.
The Stanley 75 bull-nose plane is almost identical to the Edward Preston 75 plane and the Record 075 plane, the only real difference being the colour and the markings.
What is the Stanley 75 used for?
This Stanley number 75 bullnose plane is used for small awkward jobs which arise during cabinet making and similar work, it is designed for trimming in tight spaces up to stopped ends, joints and in to corners.
Blade Markings: "Stanley Rule & Level Co" or "Stanley Rule & Level Co, Made In USA"
Blade Markings: "Stanley", "SW" (within a heart: sweet-heart),"Made In USA"
Blade Markings: "Stanley", "Made In Eng" or "Made In USA"
Check there is good life / length left in the blade and no large patches of heavy pitting on the blade face.

Your question: Where do you put the parents genotypes when you're doing a Punnett square?
Where do the parent genotypes go on a Punnett square?
Does mother or father go on top of Punnett square?
What would the parent's genotypes be?
Which parent goes on top in a Punnett square?
What is the genotype of the heterozygote?
How do you find the genotypic ratio?
Is the genotype DD?
Begin by writing the parents' genotypes along the top and side of the Punnet square. Next, fill in each cell with two alleles, one from the parent along the top and one from the parent along the side.
Specifically, put the mother's possible egg types on the top, and the father's possible sperm types on the side. The kid gets one egg from Mom and one sperm from Dad, and that's what will go in the center of the Punnett Square.
Since each parent provides one allele, the possible combinations are: AA, Aa, and aa. Offspring whose genotype is either AA or Aa will have the dominant trait expressed phenotypically, while aa individuals express the recessive trait.
The gametes produced by the male parent are at the top of the chart, and the gametes produced by the female parent are along the side. The different possible combinations of alleles in their offspring are determined by filling in the cells of the Punnett square with the correct letters (alleles).
IT IS INTERESTING: Question: What are the two stages of meiosis?
The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus. A heterozygous genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote).
To find the genotypic ratio, count the number of times each combination appears in the grid, starting in the upper left square. The example in Figure 1 below is crossing alleles for just one trait, flower color. Larger Punnett squares are used to calculate genotypic ratios for more than one trait as shown in Figure 2.
Background: The DD genotype gene is a linkage marker for an etiologic mutation at or near the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene and has been associated with increased risk for the development of coronary artery disease, left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular dilation after myocardial infarction.

Unexpected Voices Fill Monaco Air as Golovkin and Murray Weigh In
February 20, 2015 / HBO
Photos: Will Hart
By Kieran Mulvaney
The Principality of Monaco – total surface area 0.77 square miles (about three times the size of the Mall in Washington, D.C.); total population slightly over 30,000 (making it the 218th most populous nation on Earth); and site of the world's most expensive apartment ($400 million for 30,000 square feet including a dance floor, in-home catering and an infinity pool with water slide) – would seem an unlikely host for world championship boxing.
But, as Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions pointed out this week, it has some experience when it comes to welcoming classy middleweights. Marvin Hagler fought here in 1979 – in his last bout before challenging Vito Antuofermo for the world title – and it was the site of four of Carlos Monzon's title defenses, including the last two. Gennady Golovkin, the latest middleweight to make himself known here, nearly decapitated Nobuhuru Ishida in 2013 and overwhelmed Osumanu Adama last year. Now, he is about to take on Martin Murray (himself a two-time competitor and winner on this small parcel of the French Riviera) in pursuit of his 19th straight knockout and his third win in as many years in the principality.
One might think a fight week in such a location would convey an opulent, Gallic air, but at least until the weigh-in on Friday morning in the ornate atrium of the Casino de Monte Carlo, the dominant accent has been South African. Charlene, Princess of Monaco, the wife of monarch Prince Albert II, was born Charlene Wittstock and was a swimmer who won three gold medals for South Africa at the 1999 All-Africa Games. Her father, Michael Wittstock, is a boxing fan who is close to Rodney Berman of that country's Golden Gloves promotional company, and it is because of that connection that professional prizefighting in Monte Carlo has undergone something of a renaissance over the past couple of years.
The most audible voice of that renaissance this week has been none other than Brian Mitchell, the terrific former super featherweight champion who lost just once in 49 outings and who is every bit as impressive in his new role as an MC of press conferences and weigh-ins as he was a pugilist. But even he had to struggle at times to make himself heard above the Merseyside roar generated by Murray's Barmy Army, who sang and chanted their way through the weigh-in in much the same way that their Mancunian compatriots once did for Ricky Hatton. (Incidentally, their singing revealed that there are exactly as many Martin Murrays as there were Ricky Hattons – which would be one, for those of you keeping score at home.)
Golovkin's support has been increasing in size and enthusiasm with each stop on his Big Drama Show Tour, but the GGG chants will be in the distinct minority in the small Salle des Etoiles on Saturday night. Judging from the typical Golovkin grin as he and Murray flexed for the latter's fans after the weigh-in, that's unlikely to bother him one bit. What matters is whether he'll be as comfortable in the ring with the Englishman as he appeared to be in front of that Englishman's supporters. Murray is widely acknowledged to be the toughest opponent of his career so far, but the smart money says that, when the dust has settled at the end of the contest, the Barmy Army will be singing a lament.
Official Weights from Monaco:
Gennady Golovkin 158.9 lbs
Martin Murray 159.9 lbs
