The Regel Privet Ligustrum obtusifolium var. regelianum is a low shrub with spreading branches. The small fragrant white flowers are freely produced followed by dark blue berries that persist into the winter. Regel Privet works well as a specimen or in masses. It is a semi-evergreen to deciduous fast growing shrub. Regel has an upright oval to radiating rounded growth habit in youth maturing to an arching vase growth habit with age. It can be pruned to create a formal hedge. Regel Privet prefers moist well-drained soils in full sun in humid southern environments but is one of the better deciduous hedges for northern climates. It is highly adaptable to many urban stress situations..
The Privet Cheyenne Ligustrum vulgare Cheyenne is the hardiest of this species even withstanding the rugged winters of Zone 4 locations. It grows into a heavily branched dense plant. Cheyennes are well-suited for hedges or foundation plantings as it can be kept trimmed to any desired height from 18 inches to 4 feet. The glossy deep green foliage remains until late fall. Plant in full to part sun.
The Londense Privet Ligustrum vulgare lodense is a dwarf privet hedge plant. It is very dense and compact. Ideal for a low hedge. Dark green foliage with white flowers. If left untrimmed it will reach a height of 4 feet. This privet is grown as a hedge plant because it tolerates shearing and is quite dense. The plant is densely branched but quite irregular in shape if not sheared. Privet tolerate most light exposures but is not as dense in the shade. It is easily transplanted and grows rapidly and it retains its leaves into late fall.
Golden Vicary Privet Ligustrum x vicaryi is a compact vase shaped shrub with long slender leaves that hold their golden color through the summer if grown in full sun. Excellent plant for hedges or as a contrast plant in the landscape. Prefers a moist well-drained soil. This lovely golden-leafed privet grows 8-12 feet high by 6-8 feet wide and has a vase-like or oval shape. Upright stems are covered with bright golden leaves in full sun light green in shade. It is valued for its golden leaves. Tolerates dry soil and looks its best when not pruned. Golden Vicary Privet prefers sun to partial shade; best appearance for leaf color is in full sun. Use as a specimen shrub or small tree in a sunny spot to best display the golden foliage. This makes a handsome foil for darker green material planted in front.
The Amur North River Privet Ligustrum amurense is the ideal hedge for a neat clipped appearance. It can be maintained at any height making a thick dense hedge right down to the ground.. The more it is trimmed the thicker this hedge gets. Reaches 12-15 feet tall if left untrimmed. The lustrous green leaves stay on until late fall. The most widely used deciduous hedge in America. It is a hedge that will last a lifetime. Plant one foot apart to start your hedge. It has a very hardy dark green foliage.

'You're Not the Worst. That Doesn't Mean You're Good.'
By Eve Gleichman
This week on Top Chef: Tiffany sweeps the Quickfire and main challenge with $10,000 tamales, Padma approves of Kevin's Indian-inspired lentils, Alex scrapes by with a mediocre tortilla Espanola, and Angelo makes a splash ... by saran-wrapping Stephen's toilet bowl. As part of our ongoing weekly Top Chef recaps, guest judge Eric Ripert talks to us about Wednesday's episode, including Stephen's fatal error: overcooked rice.
ESQUIRE: Do you get the sense that Alex knows what he's doing in the kitchen?
ERIC RIPERT: As you know, the editing of Top Chef is genius. So they can create whatever they want, basically. However, it really looks like the entire group is mad at him, which is an indication that he's probably not that good.
ESQ: Even though he's made it onto the show, and gotten this far?
ER: Sometimes you're not the worst, but that doesn't mean you're good. It looks like he got lucky — but yeah, he should be gone, I think. It would be better for him. No one in the group seems to like him.
ESQ: Why does he carry a spoon in his shoulder pocket? Is that normal?
ER: You're supposed to test your food. At Le Bernadin, we give sous-chefs spoons made with starch, so they are not plastic spoons, and you're not supposed to double-dip, so you try the food once and then you throw the spoon out. Some chefs have a spoon like Alex, but you're supposed to boil the spoon after each use. I don't know if he's doing that or not, but the spoon in the pocket is fine — it's better to have it on the pocket of a jacket than have it in your pants.
ESQ: The Quickfire challenge revolved around Ethiopian cooking. How hard is Ethiopian food to make?
ER: The food inspired by Ethiopia was a difficult challenge. It's not that easy. But I was happy to see that Tiffany finally won; she made a goulash because she's Hungarian. It's kind of ironic that she wins with a Hungarian dish and it's an Ethiopian challenge. But at the end of the day, it was a dish inspired by Ethiopia; she ended up in Hungary, but it's okay.
ESQ: In the main challenge, it seemed like everybody was scared of drawing Brazil.
ER: Yeah, I don't understand why. Maybe I'm lucky. I went many times to Brazil, and actually, a long time ago, I dated a lot of young girls and may have been exposed to the cuisine. So Brazil is not that difficult for me.
ESQ: Stephen, who cooked Brazilian food, got kicked off. Was it really that bad?
ER: Look, seriously, that one really deserved to go home, because he opened beans in a can, he does a steak with chimichurri — which is from Argentina — and really, anyone can cook steak. And his chimichurri was supposedly overly garlicky on top of it all.
ESQ: Stephen's rice failed, too. What went wrong?
ER: You can see, even as a viewer, that the rice is completely overcooked. First of all, it's totally out of context with Brazilian culture, because he's doing something that has nothing to do with Brazil. And then the only thing he has to cook, he fucks up. It's basic. It's rice. If you don't know how to cook rice, or pasta, or a potato, you're in trouble.
ESQ: Amanda drew France. Do you think she represented your country well?
ER: The bourguignon was a good idea, but it looked like she didn't cook it enough; it looked a bit dry to me.
ESQ: These were her first victories. Is she just a talented chef who hasn't had any luck until now?
ER: Well, she's not the strongest. But is she a talented chef? Yes, she has talent. Her food tastes good. I think it's not only important for the food to look good, but to taste good, too, and when I was on Top Chef, the food tasted good. So she definitely has something.

> we'll have to tolerate a particular failure in a process of triage.
way that a great many tests might fail initially?
tools is an area in which I have at least a modicum of expertise.
So I'm curious what you are saying here.
If it is the former (expect failures) then is that by design?
"F" in the log there. I thought it was "S").
(c) an unnecessarily lengthy test cycle (which leads to "a").
as: white-box tests should be 100% success; black box maybe not.

What is meant by respiratory bust?
Priyanshu Jaseja
What is a respiratory bust?
Ascent Career Point
A respiratory burst refers to an increase in the metabolic activity of cells involved in the immune response, specifically, the phagocytes, which are cells that engulf and digest foreign particles. During a respiratory burst, these cells produce and release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) as part of their defense mechanism against pathogens. The ROS and RNS are toxic to the pathogens and can also stimulate the production of other immune cells.
Respiratory burst is a part of the oxidative burst, in which cells produce ROS and RNS to defend against pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. The respiratory burst is mediated by the enzyme NADPH oxidase, which is activated by a variety of stimuli including pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).
It's important to note that an excessive or prolonged respiratory burst can also lead to tissue damage and chronic inflammation, therefore it's a fine balance between producing enough ROS and RNS to eliminate the pathogens without causing harm to the host.

LG Electronics, GS Caltex Sign MOU on Hybrid Fueling Station
Posted on January 22, 2019 by Korea Bizwire in Automotive, Business, Energy & Green with 0 Comments

SEOUL, Jan. 22 (Korea Bizwire) — Owners of electric vehicles (EVs) will be able to charge their cars and get repair services at select gas stations operated by GS Caltex Corp., under an agreement with LG Electronics Inc., the companies said Tuesday.
GS Caltex, South Korea's No. 2 gas station operator, signed a memorandum of understanding with electronics maker LG Electronics to launch hybrid fueling stations combining traditional fuel pumps and EV charging infrastructure, the companies said in a release.
LG Electronics will provide 350-kilowatt fast chargers for EVs and install artificial intelligence-based digital signage to check EV's conditions while charging and recommend customized repairing services.
LG said it will explore ways to deploy a robot-controlled charging system and wireless charging stations in the future.
GS Caltex plans to open the first hybrid station in downtown Seoul in the latter half of the year and expand the service in other major cities afterward.
"The energy-mobility convergence station will be a hub for charging, repairing and convenience services for electric vehicles," Park Il-pyeong, LG's chief technology officer, said during the signing ceremony held at the company's Seocho R&D campus in Seoul.

Some contributing factors are the same between genders, including diet, exercise frequency, and concurrent medical conditions. However, low and/or diminishing levels of testosterone are the most common causes of osteoporosis in men.
As women age and enter menopause, they experience a decline in estrogen levels. This decline leads to accelerated loss of trabecular bone, the spongy bone inside the hard cortical bone.
Other differences between men and women are thought to contribute to the gap in osteoporosis rates. Men are, on average, more consistently physically active over their lifetimes than women, which helps prevent the loss of bone mass. Women also typically live longer than men, and the chances of developing osteoporosis increases with age.

Think about remember while loading right up any dumpster rentals, is that regardless how much area may remain in the trash can, if you are launching it up having heavy materials you have to be very careful to not go over the actual required weight restrictions. As if you complete, it will not only lead to trouble in relation to the rental company trying to make container absent, but it can also lead to you being forced to pay out an additional impose as a result.
If your weight and size will be specified through the rental process, the next thing will be learning what is and isn't allowed from the dumpster itself. Contents allowed vary with different rental corporations and urban centers, but rules tend to remain consistent throughout the majority of businesses. Contents typically restricted include: drenched paint, gas, gasoline, unsafe waste, flamable liquid, poisonous materials, car tires in addition to batteries, asbestos, etc. for a restricted items listing when making the particular rental. Placing restricted items in a container normally leads to a further fee.

What was the Siege of Alkmaar (1573)?
The Siege of Alkmaar (1573) was a turning point in the Eighty Years' War. The burghers of the Dutch city of Alkmaar held off the Spanish (who had set up their camp in Oudorp) between 21 August and 08 October 1573, with boiling tar and burning branches from their renewed city walls.
The Siege
On 23 September William the Silent followed up on a request by Cabeliau dating from the beginning of the siege and ordered the dikes surrounding Alkmaar to be breached, thereby flooding the polders in which the Spanish troops were camped, like the Achtermeer polder.
This forced the Spanish commander, Don Fadrique, the son of the hated Alva himself, to retreat and the last Spanish soldiers left on 08 October 1573.
The garrison included a detachment of Scots soldiers who had previously tried to defend Haarlem.
Aftermath and Legacy
The end of the siege is considered a turning point in the Eighty Years' War as Alkmaar was the first city to overcome a siege by the Spanish army.
A first-hand account of the siege exists in the diary of Nanning van Foreest , a local city councillor.
Several archaeological examinations have uncovered remains of the battle.

The Roo Systems custom tuned chip and exhaust packages are designed to produce a massive increase in power, torque and improve fuel efficiency within the safe operating levels of your engine.
And because we are 4WDers ourselves, we know that reliability and durability are just important as power. Roo Systems custom tuned chip and exhaust systems are designed to work within the safe parameters of the engine and retains full use of factory safety settings so they will not void the standard warranty on the vehicle.
We have spent thousands of hours testing and tuning our products and invested a lot of resources on research and development. Our products are constantly being tested in the bush, on the beach, as well as towing both caravans & camper trailers. There are NO companies that test their products as extensively as we do!
The benefits of having a Roo System chip and exhaust upgrade include ease of overtaking and maintaining comfortable cruising speeds, and more power when you are driving off-road. And if you're fully loaded or towing, you can comfortably maintain the legal road speed and you won't find yourself slowing down on long hills with a line of motorist backed up behind you!
If you want a specific tune to tow a caravan we can change the low down responsiveness of your vehicle to make it easier to get your caravan off the mark on a hill. This will help you avoid riding your clutch and doing damage to your drive train, and when the power is down low and more immediate, it makes overtaking and maneuvering a lot easier.
If you have other modifications to your vehicle including bigger intercooler or exhaust or have other specific requirements for the way you drive your 4WD then the Roo Systems chips are easily customized to suit your individual needs.
When new vehicles are sold in Australia, the manufacturer has programmed the vehicle to the worst fuel and air conditions. This is due to the differing air quality and fuel quality in different countries around the world.
The main restrictions from factory computers is that the fuel injection maps are too retarded, and the spark advance map is too excessive to compensate for average conditions, which creates less efficiency.
Having a well-tuned engine makes for a more enjoyable driving experience and takes the stress away on longer journeys. Roo custom-tuned chips work by adjusting a range of settings in the engine including timing, injector pulse, fuel delivery and boost to suit Australian conditions. You'll comfortably get up to 35% more power and torque and you will save at the bowser with up to 10% better fuel economy. Roo Systems products are designed to maximize the power throughout the rev range not just peak power.
If you are after an instant performance boost tailored to suit your 4WD then the Roo Systems custom tuned chip matched to a Roo Systems exhaust is the solution for you.

Q: IntelliJ don't recognize thymeleaf's variables Is it normal for IntelliJ that it doesn't recognize all variables specified in Thymeleaf documentation?
I'm using Thymeleaf engine template in my Spring Boot application project and IntelliJ as IDE but it seems that IntelliJ doesn't implement all THymeleaf features or I have a problem of IDE configuration or I don't understand something.
For example:
${param.q}

should read q variable of GET method but IntelliJ doesn't recognize the variable. In running application, it works properly.
Template (param.q is underlined in red)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
    <title>Title</title>

</head>

<body>

<p th:text="${param.q}">Some text</p>

</body>
</html>

Spring Controller
package com.drogago.todo.controllers;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

@Controller
public class TestController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String showIndex2() {
        return "index2";
    }
}

A: I found the solution. There was a problem because of IntelliJ wasn't able to load resources. When in 'Add framework Support' menu was selected Thymeleaf there was information that resources are loading but the process was in an endless loop. I have disabled sync and restart IntelliJ. Then I was closed project in "File" menu and run it again. In the end, I reimport project (in Maven menu). Now it works properly.


More delightful insects to add to the rage for all things insect this season. Not sure if butterflies and dragonflies are classed as insects but they look so cute we couldn't resist adding them to our range. They make such lovely decorative accessories and add a bit of fun to your décor. Sold as a set of two which includes one butterfly and one dragonfly. Made from metal.
Jacqui's tip, "I think these gold insects look fabulous hung up on the wall as part of a display. It's so simple, just wind a piece of thread or string around the insect and hang it from a hook."

Looking for a short story about a network problem being caused by an AI in the firmware
Asked 8 days ago
Hoping to get help and/or pique interest. I remember coming across the story online. A couple of system administrators are trying to track down an issue in a network, where a particular packet refuses to transmit across the network. The router keeps reporting no traffic, even though they're sending a packet. Eventually, they pull out an ancient router, stick it in the middle and discover that traffic is flowing, but being hidden by an AI that has embedded itself in all the modem devices' firmware.

This sounds like "Coding Machines" by Lawrence Kesteloot.
It starts with a trio of software developers investigating what appears to be a compiler bug. After a lengthy investigation (which is described in considerable detail) they discover that the compiler is "infected" with a mysterious code sequence that modifies programs as they are being compiled, potentially compromising all other programs on the system.
After some discussion, they perform the experiment you describe:
"I don't know what it's doing," said Patrick. "I wonder if it's sending stuff over the network."
"We could check that with Wireshark," said Dave, referring to the program that monitored network activity on a machine.
Patrick guessed what I was looking for and saw the reaction on my face when I had found it.
"I guess we can't trust it," he said.
"Trust what?" said Dave, coming back with a soda.
"Wireshark," said Patrick. "It's infected."
"Whoa," said Patrick. I looked over and the scope was showing a long stretch of activity. I looked back at the switch's lights, which were dark.
Dave said, "You are not going to tell me that the switch is infected and hiding packets."
"It is totally hiding packets," said Patrick, staring at the activity on the scope and putting both hands on his head.
He came back with an old switch, from years earlier, and plugged it in. Its lights flickered in sync with the scope, to packets censored by Wireshark and the modern switch.

Also it wasn't an AI... yet, but it was self-modifying code which was mindlessly evolving to stay hidden. – Vilx- Jan 9 at 20:38
@Vilx-: Actually, the story is a cute one, but completely unrealistic. Truly mindless self-modifying code cannot stay hidden and reveal itself only to one group of people. – user21820 Jan 10 at 11:06
@user21820 - I know. I'm a computer programmer myself and completely realize that it's unrealistic. Evolution requires millions of trials and failures - and those failures would have been widely noticed. But the story was nicely written nonetheless and managed to send shivers down my spine, so thumbs up! :) – Vilx- Jan 10 at 12:07
@Vilx-: Indeed. I found it a really fun read too! =) – user21820 Jan 10 at 12:58

A recent report from the Huffington Post states that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) plans on spending $100 million to prevent homelessness among U.S. veterans. More specifically, the VA is granting the money to local and community organizations that can help veterans stop from becoming homeless in the first place.
Local and community organizations will be able to apply for a share of the $100 million so they can get involved and help U.S. veterans before they lose their home. The VA believes prevention is the key to eliminating homelessness among veterans. It's much easier, and takes less effort, to prevent veterans from becoming homeless than it does to establish housing once the homelessness has occurred.
VA Sec. Eric Shinseki hopes to help 35,000 veterans and their families with this grant program. The grant money will be used to offer the necessary services to prevent homelessness, such as education, counseling, and training.
There are over 100,000 homeless veterans, and the VA has already stated that by 2015 they plan on lowering that number to zero. Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan will need help on many levels from many different organizations. While some needs may be much more severe than others, no veteran should return to this country and not have a roof over his or her head.

Editorial Judiciary's intervention in Rohingya issue will create a situation of conflict
Judiciary's intervention in Rohingya issue will create a situation of conflict
The Union Government has done well to maintain its stand at the last hearing in the Supreme Court that the deportation of Rohingya people should be left to the executive as it involved diplomacy. The petitioners who are arguing for a court intervention in the matter are willing to let the Government proceed with the issue but they also want the judiciary to hear the matter. This will create a situation of conflict. If the court is involved, then the Centre will have its hands tied down, because there would be instances where the executive and the judiciary do not see eye to eye on certain processes.
The Government is clear on three issues: The first is that the presence of the Rohingya people from Myanmar in India poses a security threat. There have been many security and intelligence reports that confirm its fear. The second is that the matter is an issue of diplomacy which can be best sorted out through dialogue with the parties concerned. New Delhi is already talking to Myanmar and Bangladesh on the best ways to resolve the crisis. And the third is that the Centre does not want India to become the 'refugee capital of the world'.
This must not be seen as a cruel remark coming from a country which has traditionally been open to interventions on humanitarian grounds. There are several thousand Tibetans who have sought and found shelter in India over the decades. But the humanitarian angle must be considered alongside other factors, primary among being national security and the socio-economic capacity of the country to handle the influx of people from neighbouring nations. An estimated 40,000 Rohingya people who crossed over from Myanmar over the years, live in India and are registered with the UN Refugee agency here. Deportation is the only way out, though it must be emphasised that the process must be conducted in a fair and humane manner. India's excellent relations with Myanmar should help in the task of ensuring that the Rohingya population which returns to its homeland is given all reasonable facilities and protection on their comeback. In this regard, New Delhi has already offered the Myanmar Government all possible help. Meanwhile, opposition parties and sundry human rights organisations and self-styled community leaders must stop presenting the Government's stand on the issue as being 'anti-minority'. This is not a 'Muslim issue', and those who are attempting to construct a minority narrative are a divisive lot.

back Manage Labels
Learn how to create, modify or delete labels of a label tree.
Each label consists of a name and a color. The label colors help you to identify the labels both in the label tree(s) and in the annotation tool, as annotations are colored according to the labels that are attached to them. In addition to that, a label can have a parent label, too. This allows you to arrange labels in a tree-like structure, the label tree.
The labels of a label tree can only be modified by label tree members. New labels can be created at the right of the
tab of the label tree overview. There, you find the two tabs
WoRMS label import
which are the two ways to create new labels: manually and by WoRMS import.
Create labels manually
tab shows three controls: the color chooser, the label parent chooser and the field to enter the new label name. To create your first label, choose a color with the color picker (click on the colored rectangle) or get a random color with a click on the
button. Next, enter the new label name and hit enter.
Once there is a label in the tree, you can (but don't have to) create child labels for it. To do this, select the label in the tree. Its name will appear in the label parent chooser. Alternatively you can enter the name of the parent label in the parent label chooser, too. This is particularly useful for large label trees. When you select a parent label, the selected color will automatically change to the one of the selected label. You can either re-use the same color for child labels or select a new color at this point. Finally, enter the name of the child label and hit enter.
Import labels from WoRMS
As an alternative to create labels manually, you can import them from the World Register of Marine Species. To search for a species, enter (part of) the label name and hit enter. The list of search results will be shown below. Items that already have been imported will be highlighted in green.
By default, only accepted items from WoRMS will be included in the search results. If you also want to include unaccepted results (e.g. synonyms), activate the
unaccepted
button before you search.
Now you have three options to import the found species as new labels. The simplest is to click on the
button of the species you want to import. This will add the species as a new root label to the label tree.
The next option is to add a found species as a child label. Similar to creating labels manually, you first select an existing label from the label tree as parent and then click the
button of the species you want to import.
The last and most powerful option is the recursive import. This will import the found species and the whole hierarchy of parent labels from WoRMS. If you take the genus "Kolga" from the image above, for example, this would include the labels Biota, Animalia, Echinodermata, Holothuroidea, Elasipodida, Elpidiidae and Kolga! To perform a recursive import, click the
button first and then the
The recursive import respects previously imported labels, too. Just keep the
button activated, import labels and they will be placed at their appropriate position in the tree.
If you want to import only part of the hierarchy of parent labels recursively from WoRMS, you can first import the topmost item as root label (e.g. "Holothuroidea" in the example above). Then activate the
button and import other search results. The recursive import will now include only items up to the already existing root label.
Modify labels
Be very careful when you modify the name of a label since it changes the meaning of all existing annotations with this label (e.g. do not change "coral" to "stone")!
To modify an existing label, hover the mouse over the label name, then click on the
to switch a label into edit mode.
In edit mode, the color and name of the label are editable. Choose a new color or name and click the
button to save the changes. To revert unsaved changes and exit edit mode, click
. To delete a label from the label tree, click the
button. Only labels that have no child labels and that are not attached to an annotation, image or video can be deleted.
The parent of existing labels cannot be modified in the user interface at this time. However, you can use the endpoint of the REST API.
Continue to learn more about versioned label trees in the next section.

This beautiful news that will please fans of the series

How Britain's exit from the European Union created "endless tensions" and stalemate in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is celebrating its centenary on Monday, in an atmosphere of tension unprecedented since the signing of the 1998 peace agreement. Subject matter of contention: Brexit, which imposed control over the goods traded between the county and the island of Great Britain. When instability in Northern Ireland tops the news, British political columnists like to quote from Winston Churchill's speech in 1922: "The map of the whole of Europe has been reshaped (…) but as the deluge recedes and the waters recede, we see once again the dismal constellations of Fermanagh and Teron, Two Northern Irish Provinces. While Ireland became independent from the United Kingdom on December 6, 1922, Northern Ireland was created a year ago and annexed to Great Britain to protect the British identity of the Protestant Union Territory in the northeast of the island, now that the storm of Brexit has subsided, and as Northern Ireland celebrates the anniversary Centennial founding on Monday 3 May, the map of the UK was changed. Since 1 January, control of the goods traded between Northern Ireland and Great Britain was established, raising trade unionists' fears of seeing their country abandoned by the British Crown. >> Read: Under tension after Brexit, Northern Ireland is celebrating its centenary in fact, the Northern Ireland Protocol in the Brexit agreement replaced the possibility of a problem on the border between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland with a very real problem at the border Between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, this protocol preserves the consistency of Northern Ireland. With a number of European Union (EU) rules while Great Britain could secede from them. This entails inspecting and controlling the goods transported between Northern Ireland and Great Britain and imposing customs duties in the event that these goods subsequently enter the European single market via the Republic of Ireland. Boris Johnson finally reached an agreement in October 2019 with regard to the terms of divorce between London and Brussels. Supporters of Brexit have comfortably celebrated the end of three long years of endless negotiations, particularly on the question of Northern Ireland's borders. But the Democratic Union Party (DUP) quickly expressed its anger at the establishment of a customs border in the Irish Sea. "Brexit does not apply to the United Kingdom as a whole," he then lamented the Vice President of the Democratic Unionist Party, Nigel Dodds. Northern Ireland's prime minister resigns. Boris Johnson would represent a threat in the eyes of Northern Irish trade unionists. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair's chief of staff and the architect of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, Jonathan Powell, was one of them. "The border in the Irish Sea is a real problem for them," he wrote in the Irish Times, shortly after the deal secured by Boris Johnson. "This issue will increase as the UK moves away from European regulations and introduces new definitions. These limits will threaten their British identity," Jonathan Powell continues. Facts have proven him right. The entry into force of provisions regarding Britain's exit from the European Union on January 1, 2021, has caused severe disruption to the supply chain in the supermarket and the delivery of orders via the Internet. Then graffiti opposing customs controls was drawn at the beginning of February in the federal provinces, while the authorities decided to temporarily suspend customs controls in some ports in Northern Ireland in the face of "threatening behavior" by some loyal militants. Fearing that these customs controls would represent a very deep separation between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, the Loyalty Communities Council (LCC), which brings together loyal paramilitary organizations, withdrew from the Good Friday Agreement, asserting that any opposition to the Northern Ireland Protocol must be "peaceful." And democracy. " >> Read: Violence in Northern Ireland: "Brexit destabilizes an already fragile peace" But violent riots in the Federal District nevertheless broke out in early April. The Local Coordination Committees claimed they were not responsible, calling for calm, but asserted nonetheless that there had been a "striking collective failure to fully appreciate the level and nature of trade unionists and loyalists' anger" toward the protocol. Finally, Arlene Foster, the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland and the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Arlene Foster, was forced to resign on April 28 by her party members who criticized her for not being firm enough about the tariffs. The situation now appears to have reached a dead end and threatens to put DUP in the face of its deficit. "It can only lead to endless tensions, see even the impending chaos," said Judge Tim Bell, professor of political science at Queen Mary University of London, Northern Ireland. The Unionist Party was already in favor of Brexit at the time of the 2016 referendum. John Tong, a political researcher in Northern Ireland, recalls, "It was not reflected in the consequences of the UK's exit from the European Union, particularly in relation to the Irish border," and a professor at the University of Liverpool. . "The Democratic Unionist Party expected a slight victory from the supporters of the European Union and had no idea what to do when the pro-Brexit win," he adds. However, 2017 gave the DUP more leverage, with the vote of its ten MPs being the cause. Theresa May was allowed to remain in power after the Conservative Party lost its majority in the House of Commons. But the Unionist Party refused to support Theresa May's exit plan, arguing that it would have forced the UK to continue accepting EU regulations for an indefinite period. "It's clear that the DUP misjudged the idiosyncrasies and generosity of Theresa May's plan which, backstop, allowed Northern Ireland to be treated the same as the rest of the United Kingdom when it came to customs, says specialist Tim Bell. Who knows what magic solution they were hoping for with a plan. Alternative? But trust Boris Johnson to fulfill his word and find one that challenges the cause. "At the Democratic Unionist Party convention in 2018, Boris Johnson actually claimed that" no British Conservative government can or should sign an agreement "to create customs controls in The Irish Sea. "And this is exactly what he did a year later, as a referendum on the future of Northern Ireland approaches, it seems even worse that Brexit has affected the popularity of the Democratic Unionist Party. Polls show that trade unionism is still ahead of nationalism. In Northern Ireland, the gap narrowed since the 2016 referendum. Demographics have also favored Catholic nationalists for two decades. However, religion is not as political as it was before. For 2011, 45% of Northern Irish people said they belonged to a Catholic family, but only 25% said they were exclusively Irish. In this context, until Brexit, trade unionists appeared to be able to resist in the face of demographic curves. Katie Hayward, professor of political sociology at Queen's University in Belfast, explains that after the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, a "growing percentage" of the Catholic population was "comfortable" within the UK. The UK is like a health care system, "adds John Tong. Although they" will never vote for unionist parties, "many of these Northern Irish Catholics" are very slowly starting to think of themselves as unitary with little to no " [le terme 'unioniste' en anglais s'écrit avec un u majuscule, NDLR]While 56% of Northern Irish people voted to remain in the European Union, Brexit has reshuffled the cards, so much so that the idea of a referendum on Northern Ireland's future is now on everyone's mind. The Good Friday Agreement provides for a referendum if ", at any given time, it appears likely that the majority of voters have expressed their wish that Northern Ireland cease to be an integral part of the United Kingdom and an annex to the Republic". "The question now is not whether this referendum will take place, but when," said John Tong. This article was excerpted from the English language by Roman Brunet. The original article is here.

Recently I passed my ten year anniversary on Facebook and five year anniversary on Twitter. Both sent notes to celebrate the milestone. At first, it felt a little strange to receive such affirmations from the algorithms of addiction. But soon a darker mood besieged me, one deepened in the wake of this week's revelations about Cambridge Analytica and Facebook. The New York Times' report earlier this year about Twitter bots and friend buying had not helped, nor Amnesty International's report about online trolling and misogyny. No one needed tell me it was bad and getting worse. I only had to look to see.
So was my decade online worth it? On balance, yes. I have enjoyed taking part in this extraordinary experiment (even if my descendents will look back and think it strange). I have made friends for life, often springing from Twitter to Facebook to the pub, and spent many hours online with those I could already count on in the world of flesh and things. There is, in principle, no dichotomy between the real world (good) and virtual (bad). The real world is often nightmarish, the virtual may be a haven. I have learned a lot, and read countless words that might otherwise have passed me by.
That said, I have decided to extract myself from social media. As much as possible, at least. For the electronic horse has bolted. The scale and scope of the Facebook breach is vast, yet only the tip of a darker data iceberg. Social media has become – or always was? – an open wound, and our lives are bleeding out. Enough analogies perhaps, yet there is an offline bodycount as well, and it will grow. Online interventions and psy-ops in the USA, Kenya, Myanmar, Nigeria and elsewhere, are raising fears for the future of our species, let alone the fate of our democracies.
I have sympathy with all who hope the online world may be reformed, and pray that they succeed. Somehow. For now, it seems to me to be broken irrevocably. But who knows? Something new and better may yet rise from the digital cinders.
We think we have nothing to fear here in Australia, but times change, and suddenly. I'm a writer of speculative fiction, after all, so let me ask you this… what would Nazi Germany have made of all this data? Or the USSR? All those public 'likes', as well as all that hidden data. A stroll to the synagogue or kosher supermarket with your mobile phone in tow might be enough to condemn you to death or exile. 'Liking' the page of an otherwise harmless group or author might condemn you and your family to slavery. In many times and places, even now, the sins of one become the sins of families. Australia is a liberal democracy still, of course, but we cannot fathom what our land will look like fifty years from now, let alone a hundred. Our great-great-grandchildren may yet rue the things we've shared about their families when, one day, things change. As change they will. My new novel explores an Australia in which this has come to pass.
Social media's defenders continue to maintain that apps and platforms are only as pernicious as their users. The mirror shows the self, they say. If only it were true, then that would be the worst of it. For if these be mirrors, they are mirrors in an ever shifting labyrinth … and the Minotaur is coming. The medium may not be all the message, true, but it remains a significant, oft impossible to quantify component of that message. The algorithms that dictate the form and function of these platforms remain unknown to us, impossible to understand, except for a Gnostic few. Unsurprisingly, many of that same elite are now swearing off the very forces that they have unleashed on us, the lay.
I'm not leaving social media because I don't "like" my friends, but because I love them.
By way of postscript, some friends have asked me whether, as a writer, I will miss out on opportunities to promote my work now. It's likely, but I also think online promotion has its limits. At all my signings for Empire of the Waves, I'm not sure anyone was there because they saw an event advertised on Twitter or on Facebook. And I did ask. Mostly it was because I was there. Perhaps that changes when one's level of fame rises, but I have spoken to a number of far more established writer friends about their use of social media, and most privately expressed scepticism about its value. This is not to say that writers should not engage with each other or with readers on social media, nor that I have not treasured doing so. In fact, social media works best for writers when sales are not the primary purpose of engagement. Indeed, it remains a good place to encourage and support friends and colleagues and to share ideas with strangers (who often do become great friends, despite all the trolls that lurk around each corner).
As with everything that we decide in this fallen world, human choices are about weighing vice and virtue. My sense now is that social media's great and many virtues may be enjoyed in other ways, without the ever mounting list of vices. Meanwhile, I will continue to update my website and be available by every other means available, both physical and electronic (and there are many).
At the best of times, writing can feel like sending messages to sea in bottles. It's not clear if anyone will find them, let alone uncork them. Yet the tides can be surprising. Last year, I posted a two part celebration on the life and work of Edward Lear on my website, thinking no one would ever see it. And yet, a few months later, the ABC contacted me to conduct a radio interview about the bearded bard. Like life itself, the work goes on. And words, like bottles, wash up where they will.
Finally, because I can't resist an opportunity to compose a little doggerel, I went and butchered John Donne's A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning as the final act of my time on social media. Enjoy!
