Palestinian Talmud/Yerushalmi
Leib Moscovitz
The Palestinian Talmud ("Talmud Yerushalmi" in Hebrew; henceforth PT), is a rabbinic compendium of Palestinian provenance from Late Antiquity on the Mishnah. PT is far more than a commentary since it contains independent discussions of Jewish law and thought, stories about rabbis and other types of narrative, and biblical exegesis of various sorts. PT serves as an important tool for scholarly analysis of the more familiar and widely studied Babylonian Talmud (BT); the traditions preserved in PT are often less subject to various types of editorial reworking than their BT counterparts and, as such, can be very helpful for studying the development of their BT parallels. Likewise, PT serves as an important source of information about the Palestinian rabbinic world in Late Antiquity. In traditional settings, PT played a certain role in the interpretation of BT and in the development of Jewish law during the medieval period, in addition to serving as an object of study in its own right, although its study was largely neglected due to textual and interpretative difficulties, which problematized its study both for academic scholars and traditional students. This article accordingly begins by surveying the principal tools for the study of PT and continues with a survey of text-critical and exegetical issues, followed by a survey of various redactional aspects of PT. (Most of this material is in Hebrew, and much of it is highly technical, so it may prove unsuitable for beginners.) The focus here is of course on PT per se, although responsible scholarship on PT necessitates analysis of the work in a number of broader contexts, such as the study of Jewish history in Late Antiquity and rabbinic literature in general; hence, the student of PT is advised to consult surveys of these topics as well.
Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to PT, although several works provide helpful, if dated, introductions of various sorts. Beginning with Hebrew introductions, the most comprehensive is Frankel 1870; a briefer introduction that summarizes previous scholarship is found in Melamed 1973; the most up to date and probably best for beginners is Assis 2018. Important Hebrew introductions that focus on more-specific aspects of PT (post-redactional transmission and redactional issues, respectively) are Ginzberg 1941 and Epstein 1963. The most up-to-date English introduction is Strack and Stemberger 1996; a briefer and older and perhaps more user-friendly work is Goldberg 1987, while the most comprehensive introduction, which has a bibliographical focus, is Bokser 1981. Moscovitz 2006 provides a brief but very helpful introduction to issues pertaining to the formation and character of PT.
Assis, Moshe. "Talmud Yerushalmi." In Sifrut Hazal Ha-Eretz Yisre'elit—Mevo'ot U-Mehqarim. Vol. 1. Edited by Menahem Kahana, Vered Noam, Menahem Kister, and David Rosenthal, 225–259. Jerusalem: Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi, 2018.
Arguably the best introduction to PT in any language—clear, concise, comprehensive, and authoritative, written by one of the premier modern scholars of PT.
Bokser, Baruch M. "An Annotated Bibliographical Guide to the Study of the Palestinian Talmud." In The Study of Ancient Judaism. Vol. 2, The Palestinian and Babylonian Talmuds. Edited by Jacob Neusner, 1–119. New York: Ktav, 1981.
An extraordinarily detailed bibliographical guide to all aspects of PT and, at times, tangentially related fields, classified topically. The introductions to each section are actually miniature surveys of the field. The author's notes on the surveyed works can be helpful, but sometimes problematic. Originally published in Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt, Part 2, Vol. 19.2, edited by Wolfgang Haase (Berlin and New York: Walter de Gruyter, 1979), pp. 139–256.
Epstein, Jacob N. Mevo'ot Le-Sifrut Ha-Amora'im. Edited by E. Z. Melamed. Jerusalem: Magnes, 1963.
Prepared posthumously for publication by Epstein's student Ezra Zion Melamed. Extremely detailed, technical, and at times difficult to follow. Epstein focuses on issues such as the dating of PT redaction and the relationship between PT and internal and external parallels.
Frankel, Zacharias. Mevo Ha-Yerushalmi. Breslau, Poland: Schlatter, 1870.
The most comprehensive introduction to PT available. Every conceivable aspect of PT is surveyed here (the work even includes biographies of the majority of PT sages). Despite its age, numerous parts of the work are of enduring value, although some parts of the book are obviously in need of updating. Available for free download online.
Ginzberg, Levi (Louis). Perushim Ve-Hiddushim Ba-Yerushalmi. Vol. 1. New York: Jewish Theological Seminary of America, 1941.
The Hebrew introduction to Ginzberg's multivolume commentary on the first five chapters of the first tractate of PT, with a focus on transmissional aspects of the Talmud, both textual issues and aspects of the medieval and post-medieval transmission, study, and exegesis of PT.
Goldberg, Abraham. "The Palestinian Talmud." In The Literature of the Sages. Vol. 1. Edited by Shmuel Safrai, 303–322. Compendia Rerum Iudaicarum ad Novum Testamentum. Assen, The Netherlands: Royal Van Gorcum, 1987.
The chapter on PT in a comprehensive survey of rabbinic literature. While this introduction offers virtually nothing in terms of independent scholarship, it might well be the most convenient starting point for the beginning English-language student of PT.
Melamed, Ezra Zion. Pirqei Mavo Le-Sifrut Ha-Talmud. Jerusalem: n.p., 1973.
A readable Hebrew summary of earlier scholarship on PT, citing numerous examples of the phenomena discussed. The majority of this work is based on the writings of Frankel, Epstein, and Ginzberg, as well as relevant comments of Saul Lieberman, the latter otherwise often inaccessible since his comments are scattered throughout different books and articles by him.
Moscovitz, Leib. "The Formation and Character of the Jerusalem Talmud." In The Cambridge History of Judaism. Vol. 4, The Late Roman-Rabbinic Period. Edited by Steven T. Katz, 663–677. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2006.
Presents a concise introduction to most aspects of PT during the redactional and pre-redactional periods but does not deal with issues related to the fate of PT during the post-redactional period, such as its exegesis and textual tradition.
Strack, Hermann L., and Günter Stemberger. Introduction to Talmud and Midrash. 2d ed. Translated by Markus Bockmuehl. Minneapolis: Fortress, 1996.
The classic English (and German) introduction to rabbinic literature, with comprehensive bibliography and consideration of the various scholarly views about the topics surveyed. The ninth, revised German edition, by Stemberger, includes an updated bibliography: Einleitung in Talmud und Midrasch (Munich: Beck, 2011).

Oldendorff Carriers is making the most of bargain bulkers on offer at yards across China. Clarkson Research has linked the German line with taking hulls 1058 and 1059 at Samjin Shipbuilding. The 35,200 dwt ships are due to deliver in the second half of next year, and are costing Oldendorff in the low $15m range each.
"The market for resale Chinese built Handysize units has been extremely quiet this year," Clarkson Research noted in its most recent weekly report. Values today are more or less in line with those experienced at the end of last year.
In June this year Oldendorff placed an order for one firm and one optional 82,000 dwt kamsarmax bulker at Jiangsu Hantong in China.

BAE Systems Australia welcomes third ANZAC class ship to Henderson
10 Sep 2018 2018-09-10T03:27:24+02:00
BAE Systems Australia has welcomed a third ANZAC class warship to its Henderson facility as part of the fleet upgrade to keep the ships in service until they are replaced by the Hunter class frigates.
The Mid Life Capability Assurance Program (AMCAP) upgrade is being undertaken at Henderson by the Warship Asset Management Agreement (WAMA) Alliance.
HMAS Anzac's docking marks a significant milestone for BAE Systems, where it joins sister ships Perth and Arunta. This will be the first time that three warships have been on the hardstand at the Henderson facility.
HMAS Anzac will be the second ship to receive the AMCAP upgrade which includes:
Upgraded ventilation systems;
New sewage systems;
Improvements to the diesel engines to improve power and efficiency;
Replacement of the air search radar capability with the Australian CEA L-Band radar; and
Replacement of the full communications suite on the ship.
BAE Systems Australia Chief Executive, Gabby Costigan, said:
"The upgrade of the ANZAC fleet, through our role in the WAMA alliance, demonstrates the breadth and depth of work that BAE Systems Australia has done to date in the sustainment of the ANZAC class fleet over more than two decades.
"BAE Systems is an Australian industry leader in maritime sustainment. We are very proud of the skilled workforce capacity that we have grown to meet the technical challenges of maritime sustainment."
HMAS Arunta, the first of class AMCAP ship, most recently had her old mast removed to make way for the installation of a newly developed Air Search Radar System. The new mast is currently being manufactured by BAE Systems and scheduled to be installed at the end of October.
Australian company CEA Technologies is responsible for developing the new Air Search Radar System that complements the existing Anti-Ship Missile Defence system.
HMAS Arunta will undock before the end of the year after having spent more than 12 months on the hard stand. She will then undertake sea trials ahead of a planned return to service in 2019.
The remaining seven ships will be back in service by 2023.

Thousands of Mass. Residents Lose Power Due to Strong Winds
Published December 6, 2021 • Updated on December 7, 2021 at 7:57 am
Wellesley Police
Thousands of people in Massachusetts lost power Monday night as strong winds and heavy rain slammed the region.
As of around 10:30 p.m., more than 6,300 customers had no electricity, according to the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. At midnight, there were still about 4,800 customers without power. Just before 5 a.m., less than 1,000 people were without power, and that number had decreased to just over 600 by 8 a.m.
There were reports of downed trees and power lines across the state.
The wind was expected to gust at times from 40 to 50 mph, with isolated gusts to 60 mph expected on Cape Cod. Gusts up to 40 mph were anticipated overnight, with wind as heavy as 35 mph still forecast Tuesday morning.

Definitions and Basics
Efficiency, Supply and Demand, and Market Clearing, by Arnold Kling
Supply and Demand: Prices play a central role in the efficiency story. Producers and consumers rely on prices as signals of the cost of making substitution decisions at the margin. How are prices determined?
Economic theory says that the price of something will tend toward a point where the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. This price is known as the market-clearing price, because it "clears away" any excess supply or excess demand.
Market clearing is based on the famous law of supply and demand. As the price of a good goes up, consumers demand less of it and more supply enters the market. If the price is too high, the supply will be greater than demand, and producers will be stuck with the excess. Conversely, as the price of a good goes down, consumers demand more of it and less supply enters the market. If the price is too low, demand will exceed supply, and some consumers will be unable to obtain as much as they would like at that price—we say that supply is rationed….
Supply, from the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics
Markets in which prices can move freely are always in equilibrium or moving toward it. For example, if the market for a good is already in equilibrium and producers raise prices, consumers will buy fewer units than they did in equilibrium, and fewer units than producers have available for sale. In that case producers have two choices. They can reduce price until supply and demand return to the old equilibrium, or they can cut production until supply falls to the lower number of units demanded at the higher price. But they cannot keep the price high and sell as many units as they did before….
Microeconomics, from the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics
Until the so-called Keynesian revolution of the late thirties and forties, the two main parts of economic theory were typically labeled monetary theory and price theory. Today, the corresponding dichotomy is between macroeconomics and microeconomics….
The strength of microeconomics comes from the simplicity of its underlying structure and its close touch with the real world. In a nutshell, microeconomics has to do with supply and demand, and with the way they interact in various markets.
"Where Do Prices Come From?" by Russ Roberts at Econlib, June 4, 2007.
Prices adjust to equate how much people want to buy with how much they want to sell.
And if people want to buy more than they did before, prices rise. If people want to sell more than they did before, prices fall.
Supply and demand. Buyers are competing with each other. Sellers are competing with each other.
The prices we observe emerge from this competition.
The Basics of Demand and Supply: Although a complete discussion of demand and supply curves has to consider a number of complexities and qualifications, the essential notions behind these curves are straightforward. The demand curve is based on the observation that the lower the price of a product, the more of it people will demand. There may be occasional exceptions to this behavior (and indeed economists have developed the theoretical possibility of such an exception), but they are so few and transient that economists refer to the negative relationship between price and quantity demanded as the "law of demand." Because of the law of demand, demand curves (such as D in the figure) are always shown as downward sloping, with the price on the vertical axis and the quantity demanded (over some period) on the horizontal axis.
The basic notion behind the supply curve is that the higher the price of a product, the more of it producers will supply. In other words, as with the curve S in the figure, supply curves are upward sloping. A justification for this upward-sloping relationship between price and quantity supplied is that the cost of producing additional units of the product increases as more is produced. So it takes a higher price to motivate additional output. But this is not necessarily the case when there is time for new firms to enter an industry, or for existing firms to expand their plant size. Such long-run adjustments to a higher price can permit more of the product to be made available at the original cost (or even a lower cost), in which case the supply is horizontal (or negatively sloped). But over periods of time that can extend to several months or more, it is reasonable to assume that supply curves slope upward….

Robert Frank on Economics Education and the Economic Naturalist. EconTalk podcast episode, October 15, 2007.
Author Robert Frank of Cornell University talks about economic education and his recent book, The Economic Naturalist. Frank argues that the traditional way of teaching economics via graphs and equations often fails to make any impression on students. In this conversation with host Russ Roberts, Frank outlines an alternative approach from his new book, where students find interesting questions and enigmas from everyday life. They then try to explain them using the economic way of thinking. Frank and Roberts discuss a number of the enigmas and speculate on the future of economics and education. The topics discussed include tuxedos vs. wedding dresses, the level of civility (or lack thereof) in New York City, the difference between vending machines for soda and newspapers, the tragedy of the commons, and the economics of love.

A Little History: Primary Sources and References
Alfred Marshall, biography from the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics
Alfred Marshall was the dominant figure in British economics (itself dominant in world economics) from about 1890 until his death in 1924. His specialty was microeconomics—the study of individual markets and industries, as opposed to the study of the whole economy. His most important book was Principles of Economics. In it Marshall emphasized that the price and output of a good are determined by both supply and demand: the two curves are like scissor blades that intersect at equilibrium. Modern economists trying to understand why the price of a good changes still start by looking for factors that may have shifted demand or supply. They owe this approach to Marshall….
Equilibrium of Normal Demand and Supply, by Alfred Marshall. Book V, Chapter 3 in Principles of Economics
We have next to inquire what causes govern supply prices, that is prices which dealers are willing to accept for different amounts….
When demand and supply are in stable equilibrium, if any accident should move the scale of production from its equilibrium position, there will be instantly brought into play forces tending to push it back to that position; just as, if a stone hanging by a string is displaced from its equilibrium position, the force of gravity will at once tend to bring it back to its equilibrium position. The movements of the scale of production about its position of equilibrium will be of a somewhat similar kind*19. [par. V.III.21. See footnote 19 for the original diagram of supply and demand.]

OEM 'Shelter In Place' Cellphone Alert Causes Panic
Commissioner Blames Insufficient Character Count For Confusion Over Time Warner Center Suspicious Device Text October 24, 2018 at 5:16 pm
Filed Under:Alice Gainer, explosive device mailings, explosive devices, Local TV, New York, NYC OEM, Time Warner Building
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — People who live and work near Time Warner Center were alerted on their cellphones to shelter in place not long after reports started surfacing Wednesday morning of an explosive device found in the CNN mailroom.
But very little else was said.
The alert was sent out more than an hour after Time Warner Center was evacuated and it was jarring to see because for those who weren't watching the news had no idea why they were being told to do so.
MORE: "Clearly An Act Of Terror": Apparent "Live Explosive Device" Targets CNN At Time Warner Center; Others Target Clintons, Obamas, More
The 9-1-1 call was placed from the mailroom at 9:38 a.m. CNN's newsroom was evacuated shortly after 10 a.m., followed by Time Warner Center in it's entirety.
Then an alert went out to residents in the area at around 11:42 a.m. saying, "Residents on W 58th St btw Columbus and 8th Av shelter in place immediately."
"It was just well, why? Is it a terrorist attack? Is there a bomb? Am I in danger? Why should I just stay in place? Do I evacuate? I had no idea what to do," resident Alison Frischman told CBS2's Alice Gainer.
This is the text alert the NYC Department of Emergency Management sent not long after a suspicious device was reported in the CNN mailroom inside the Time Warner Center on Oct. 24, 2018. (Photo: Jesse Zanger/CBSNewYork)
Frischman, who lives next to the Time Warner Center, said the initial alert gave no explanation. She said her building thankfully told her a little bit more in an email.
At 12:15 p.m., a follow-up alert was sent that said, "The suspicious device on West 58th Street and 8th Avenue was safely removed by NYPD bomb squad."
But many were displeased with the vagueness of the first alert.
"I actually found the alert to be unhelpful, to be perfectly honest. It really didn't provide any information," nearby apartment building manager John Czajkowski said.
"I feel like the emergency system should be doing a better job," Frischman said. "And if that's the way to communicate emergency situations, I would've expected a lot more instead of having to search for it myself."
MORE: Security Expert: CNN, Clinton, Obama Devices Not Detonating Should Give Investigators "Bountiful Information"
So CBS2's Gainer asked New York City Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Esposito why no information was provided during the first alert.
"At this point, we're limited in the characters we can put out on an emergency alert system," Esposito said.
Commissioner Esposito said though short, the alert was to the point and accomplished what it needed to.
But he said the alert system will eventually change.
"We've petitioned the FCC and they've changed the rules and as of May of next year we'll be able to go over 300 characters, so there will be a lot more," Esposito said.
To those upset by the first alert, Esposito said, "Better safe than sorry."

In the BVI, Earth Day Is an Entire Month
Long Bay in Tortola, BVI, which depends heavily on St Thomas for much of its visitor traffic.
By Dana Niland
CJ Contributor
The British Virgin Islands is celebrating Earth Day all month long by creating community awareness through its Seeds of Love initiative.
Various events have included school plantings and discussions, voluntourism planting events, plant donation drive, and a planting at the Ellis Thomas Downs Race Track.
The month-long celebration culminated on Saturday, April 27 with a Seeds of Love Community volunteer planting and beautification activity.
The initiative, launched in 2017 in an effort to replant trees lost as a result of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, operates in partnership with a local nursery and landscape contracting firm, Groundworks B.V.I.
"Our goal for the month was to engage the wider community in the Seeds of Love initiative," said Sharon Flax-Brutus, Director of Tourism. "I am proud to say that this initiative has blossomed into a forest of opportunities."
The program is just one of the measures that the B.V.I. Tourism Board is taking to make the tourism industry meaningful for the entire community– last week, as part of Caribbean Journal's Green Caribbean Awards, the BVITB was named as the winner of the Green Tourism Board of the Year.
"Being recognized as the Green Tourism Board of the Year award inspires us to push even harder to ensure we secure an environmentally sustainable territory for generations to come," said Flax-Brutus.

Bobkoff '05 Explores Cultural History of 'Household Name' Brands in New Podcast
Dan Bobkoff '05 is the host and executive producer of the Household Name podcast from Business Insider.
Dan Bobkoff '05 believes that, for better or worse, much of American life is lived through brands.
"Whether you like iPhones or Androids is almost like a religious affiliation," he says. "Or you might have had a poignant family moment at McDonald's."
This is the lens through which Bobkoff explores brands in his new podcast, Household Name, from Business Insider. Bobkoff launched the podcast in July, and will produce and host 36 episodes over the course of the year. Its tagline—"Brands you know, stories you don't"—captures the cultural history and surprising stories of unintended consequences that are featured in each episode about brands such as Pizza Hut, TGI Fridays, and Blockbuster.
"This is not a show for Wall Street traders. It's a show for people who like stories and want to think about how we live," he says.
For example, one episode explores how Starbucks' celebrated Pumpkin Spice Latte became a treat that millions look forward to every fall—and then was transformed into the icon of "basicness," the idea that someone does not have interesting taste. In other episodes, the show visits the last remaining Blockbuster stores, introduces listeners to the real "Chuck" behind Trader Joe's "Two Buck Chuck" wine, and asks why there are so many Mattress Firm stores in the country.
Bobkoff majored in philosophy at Wesleyan, and later went on to earn a Master of Science from Columbia University through the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Business Journalism. While today he rarely draws on the specifics of his philosophy courses, he says, "the framework informs everything I do."
After all, for a journalist, "What's better than a discipline that questions everything and thinks deeply about ethics?"
Bobkoff spent over a decade reporting at NPR, Marketplace, and a variety of public radio stations before turning to podcasts.
"There's a joy in reporting short radio stories. They're almost like haikus: how much information and joy can you pack into 45 seconds or 3.5 minutes?" he says. "Podcasting and radio are obviously very similar mediums, and some would argue we should just call it all radio. The biggest difference with podcasts is the ability to tell more complex stories because listeners are with you at the very beginning, rather than cycling in and out during the hour like on the radio."
The challenge with podcasts, though, is how to stand out and be heard from amongst the hundreds of thousands of available options.
Bobkoff says inspiration for story ideas can come from anywhere—from an interesting tidbit in a news article to a story shared by an intern to his own curiosity about the origins of a favorite product. He encourages people to send their burning questions about a brand, or to share how a brand has affected their lives.
After all, in one episode he learned that Donald Trump's rising celebrity in the 1990s was closely tied to Pizza Hut's invention of stuffed crust pizza. So you never know how a brand could affect our future.

Spectacular dress, spring, quality nice sewing fine, very nice. White spectacular, tractivo stall, received in a week.
For a long time. Written By less than a month into the 2 months. Dress fit the description. Stretches. Size fit.
Thank You very much for fast delivery, super, acquired the wedding anniversary, think man appreciate!!!
Dress is good. Shipping 3 weeks. Well in my village 46 l ordered. my height is 155 on this to get below the knee 2 finger I wanted. AND cut Zadie just like you need to get. One disadvantage of lace on the top of the breast and back twisted not stay bristle. For photo beautiful. The event will have to constantly. Recommend Nice body. But you need to modify the lace hang out.


From the first summer we moved in, a few old toads have come to hang out each night by (and sometimes in) the pool. Not all have survived us. Dogs got one, cats got another. And someone ran over a big one with the car. But these stoic toads keep coming back every summer — probably to catch bugs under the outside floodlights. Mike even bought them a little house.
Last summer, a young man from our town took this visiting toad experience to a whole new level…creating custom hats for one patient, and obviously fashion-forward, amphibian, in order to help cheer up a child who had lost his pet toad. He only shared the photos just recently, and they spread like wildfire overnight. Since posting, over 1 million curious folks have clicked to see the toad millinery.

A beautiful and comforting essay for this tumultuous week in America. By Kristin Kimball, who makes her life and living at Essex Farm in Essex, New York.


Teka-Mori fuses choreography and computer-generated sound through human-computer interaction. Teka refers to the vocalization of two different drum strokes on a doumbek (Egyptian tablah). Mori, from the Latin phrase memento mori, evokes an image of decay and lifelessness. Teka-Mori revitalizes the often-disembodied interaction between physical gesture and sound production. The RAKS system provides compositional agency to the dancer, connecting the choreographic gesture and sonic outcome.

Although the three surveys surely overlap, they clearly are not entirely coextensive. Processes available to male lifetime.

In this way, the dramatically unequal distribution of wealth has translated into similarly outsized political influence for those at the top. Of these 2, teachers, 2, completed the entire survey; all percentages reported are based on those answering each question.
Undoubtedly, most of these casualties were associated with the nearby airport battles and with the armored incursions conducted by the US Third Division, which passed through nearby areas. Study team assignment research. This temporarily tables the difficult but vital issue of distinguishing between combatants and noncombatants.
The survey results reported here are based on a non-probability sample of 2, middle and high school teachers currently teaching in the U. In either case, these would have been excluded from the journalists' surveys.

The online survey was conducted from March 7—April 23, Whether the war's death toll registers at the upper or lower end of this range, its repercussions would be about the same. For the Baghdad area, the surveys and other information sources are sufficiently complete to allow for reasonable estimates of both noncombatant and combatant fatalities, which together constitute the total war dead for the city.
Most of these were small two- and three-storey structures. These declines could be offset, however, by increased spending on goods subject to the sales tax.

And then they were gone. As late as 8 June, Iraqi health officials were still negotiating for access to between 50 and bodies buried at the International Airport.

Cameron takes over: don't mourn – organise!
The open class enemy is poised to enter 10 Downing Street.
Right to Work supporters kicked off the resistance to a Cameron government this evening outside the Cabinet Office (Pic: Simon Guy)
Any idea that the Liberal Democrats joining David Cameron's Tory government will soften the blow for working class people is wrong.
The Lib Dems had only one distinctive policy in the election – that they wanted to be honest about how much "needed" to be slashed from the public sector.
Whether Kenneth Clarke or Vince Cable is the chancellor, both will be set on cutting the deficit "in the national interest". What that means is hundreds of thousands of jobs losses and a devastating decline in the living standards of working class people.
The Tories and their friends in the right wing press have argued that they had a right to form a government. They say that the 36 percent of people who voted for them means that David Cameron should be in power.
In fact, it reflects the arrogance of the ruling class belief in their birthright to own and direct and control.
The flurry of secret talks between the mainstream parties reflects an important truth about British "democracy". The real decisions are made behind closed doors – and the mass of ordinary people are excluded from the process.
That's why none of the parties has told the truth about the onslaught they are about to launch on the public sector.
Many working class people will be horrified at the return of a Tory government. They are right.
Labour privatised and cut and pandered to the bosses. It launched imperialist wars in close conspiracy with the US ruling class.
But this government will redouble those attacks with a fresh spring in its step. It will seek to target every public service, bear down on workers' rights, and boost the rich at every turn. Attacks on migrants and people on benefits will now become reality in terms of policy.
The Lib Dems will simply provide window dressing.
Anyone who voted for the Lib Dems in the belief that they were an alternative to the neoliberal consensus must now realise that a neoliberal with the promise of a referendum on the voting system is still a neoliberal.
Gordon Brown's failure to either win a majority Labour government or lash up a coalition with the Liberals was not because his commitment to the free market was lacking. Rather, 13 years of New Labour have served a purpose.
They have succeeded in rehabilitating the bosses A-Team – but only enough that they need the Lib Dem C-Team to prop them up.
It was worth noting that it was not pandering to racism, privatisation and more money for the bankers that saw nearly every left wing Labour MP strengthen their vote.
Labour held onto its core vote because its core vote hates the Tories. But for millions of working class people there seems little difference between the cuts of New Labour and the cuts of the old Tories and old Liberals.
This is not the return of Margaret Thatcher. David Cameron and his mini-me Nick Clegg are weak and unsure. That does not mean that they won't be vicious. But it does mean that they can be beaten.
As they justify every cut in public services, every pension wasted and every new worker on the dole with calls to support the "national interest" we must redouble our efforts to organise the resistance which can defend our class interest.
That means activists throwing their weight into building solidarity with every piece of resistance against the austerity – now. Cabin crew at British Airways, who are fighting against bullying boss Willie Walsh, will be out on the picket lines for 20 days over May and June.
Every trade unionist should back them.
It also means building permanent, vibrant networks of resistance in every workplace and community. A key step to making that a reality is the Right to Work conference on 22 May.

Q: Fake CRT effect on Canvas I want to be able to make my canvas look as though it's on a curved and rounded CRT screen, similar to these two images:

How would I do this to an HTML5 canvas? I would be happy to do it within the canvas drawing itself, or with a CSS style applied to the canvas.
Thanks!

A: A quick search gave me this website: WebGL Fake CRT Effect for HTML5 Games,
it uses the glfx.js library.

It is a library meant to apply realtime WebGL effects to an image, but the canvas tag can actually be addressed as an image source...

The demo uses this image to overwrite onto the canvas.
And the code to actually create the effect:
// Make sure you've included the glfx.js script in your code!

// Here I load a PNG with scanlines that I overwrite onto the 2D game's canvas.
// This file happens to be customized for the demo game, so to make this a
// general solution we'll need a generic scanline image or we'll generate them
// procedurally.
// Start loading the image right away, not after the onload event.
var lines = new Image();
lines.src = 'http://i.imgur.com/TAJ0Zkw.png';

window.addEventListener('load', fakeCRT, false);

function fakeCRT() {
    var glcanvas, source, srcctx, texture, w, h, hw, hh, w75;

    // Try to create a WebGL canvas (will fail if WebGL isn't supported)
    try {
       glcanvas = fx.canvas();
    } catch (e) {return;}

    // Assumes the first canvas tag in the document is the 2D game, but
    // obviously we could supply a specific canvas element here.
    source = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0];
    srcctx = source.getContext('2d');

    // This tells glfx what to use as a source image
    texture = glcanvas.texture(source);

    // Just setting up some details to tweak the bulgePinch effect
    w = source.width;
    h = source.height;
    hw = w / 2;
    hh = h / 2;
    w75 = w * 0.75;

    // Hide the source 2D canvas and put the WebGL Canvas in its place
    source.parentNode.insertBefore(glcanvas, source);
    source.style.display = 'none';
    glcanvas.className = source.className;
    glcanvas.id = source.id;
    source.id = 'old_' + source.id;

    // It is pretty silly to setup a separate animation timer loop here, but
    // this lets us avoid monkeying with the source game's code.
    // It would make way more sense to do the following directly in the source
    // game's draw function in terms of performance.
    setInterval(function () {
        // Give the source scanlines
        srcctx.drawImage(lines, 0, 0, w, h);

        // Load the latest source frame
        texture.loadContentsOf(source);

        // Apply WebGL magic
        glcanvas.draw(texture)
            .bulgePinch(hw, hh, w75, 0.12)
            .vignette(0.25, 0.74)
            .update();
    }, Math.floor(1000 / 40));
}

Usually works, although I should warn you that Safari 6 managed to freeze my entire system for a minute at least a couple times... but not every time. You might be happier in Chrome.

Q: Firebase MFA enrolled account without verifying I have enrolled multi-factor authentication on multiple firebase accounts.
1 problem, I can't authenticate on my older websites which don't have the possibility to send end enter the verification code.
So I want to authenticate with the same account on some of my older websites without verifying with the MFA method because it would be a pain in the ass to update these older websites. (old react version, old firebase version etc)
Would it be possible to use the firebase auth "signInWithEmailAndPassword" without ending up in the "catch error function"
My code:
export function doSignInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password, dispatch, callback) {
  auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
    .then(function (firebaseUser) {
      console.log("signInWithEmailAndPassword firebaseUser", firebaseUser)
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
      console.log("signInWithEmailAndPassword errorCode", error.code)

      if (error.code == "auth/multi-factor-auth-required") {
        const resolver = error.resolver
        // The user is a multi-factor user. Second factor challenge is required.

        callback(resolver)
      } else {
        dispatch(asyncActions.setError({ message: error.code ? error.code : error, type: "error" }))
        // Unsupported second factor.
        // Note that only phone second factors are currently supported.
      }
    })

USA's International Women of Courage Awards for 2019
Stock Daily Dish on 16 December 2019 reports that Melania Trump made a rare public appearance to present 13 women with the 2017 Secretary of State's International Women of Courage Award. The prize honors those who fight for women's empowerment, often at great personal risk. "Together, we must declare that the era of allowing the brutality against women and children is over while affirming that the time for empowering women around the world is now," Mrs. Trump said. She called on leaders to "continue to work towards gender empowerment and respect for people from all backgrounds and ethnicities," and on the international community to fight all forms of injustice. For more on this award – and 7 more that have 'courage' in the title – see: http://www.trueheroesfilms.org/thedigest/awards/international-women-of-courage-award.
Each US embassy can nominate one woman for the award. The 13 women honored this year are:
Malebogo Molefhe (Botswana), who used to play for the Botswana national basketball team, has served as an advocate for survivors of gender-based violence after she was attacked and shot eight times by her ex-boyfriend in 2009 and confined to a wheelchair,
Rebecca Kabugho (Democratic Republic of the Congo), has led peaceful anti-government protests calling for credible elections in the DRC, and spent six months in prison for her role as an activist
Major Aichatou Ousmane Issaka (Niger), currently the deputy director of social work at the Military Hospital of Niamey, was one of the first women to join the Nigerien army in 1996, and was one of the first to attend a military academy. She has served throughout Niger, including in the Diffa Region, a stronghold of the Boko Haram terrorist group.
Veronica Simogun (Papua New Guinea), the founder and director of the Family for Change Association, who works to help shelter and relocate women affected by violence,
Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh (Vietnam), a blogger and activist who promotes environmental and human rights issues under the nom de plum Me Nam or Mother Mushroom. [see: https://humanrightsdefenders.blog/2018/10/18/vietnamese-blogger-mother-mushroom-released/]
Saadet Ozkan (Turkey) was a primary school teacher, who uncovered a "decades-long pattern of sexual abuse" and forced a criminal investigation of the principal; she still supports the victims and their case as a private consultant.
Jannat Al Ghezi (Iraq), helps Iraqi women escape violence, rape and domestic abuse, as well as Islamic State terrorism and occupation, and offers them shelter, training, protection and legal services through the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq
Sister Carolin Tahhan Fachakh (Syria), known as Sister Carol, runs a nursery school in war-torn Damascus for more than 200 Muslim and Christian children, as well as a tailoring workshop for internally displaced women.
Fadia Najib Thabet (Yemen) is a child protection officer who has dissuaded young boys from joining Al-Qaeda, exposed its Yemeni branch Ansar al-Sharia as a recruiter of child soldiers and reported on human rights violations for the UN Security Council.
Sharmin Akter (Bangladesh), a student who refused an arranged marriage at age 15, which resulted in the prosecution of her mother and her much-older prospective husband,
Sandya Eknelygoda (Sri Lanka), who fought for justice after the disappearance of her journalist husband in 2010 and who has served as a voice for the families of others who have disappeared during the country's civil war.
Natalia Ponce de Leon (Colombia), who has become a human rights activist for the victims of acid attacks after a stalker threw a liter of sulfuric acid on her in 2014,
Arlette Contreras Bautista (Peru), a domestic violence survivor and activist, who helped launch the Not One Woman Less movement, which aims to increase the social and political awareness of women's rights and gender-based violence in Peru.
The newspaper noticed that Mrs Trump did not mention her husband or his presidential administration during her 10-minute remarks.

Then added a new Microsoft account. That MS account is being used in another laptop. I have a lot of apps and the start menu with a given layout I like.
The last backup is from my Windows 8 tablet back from May. There is no backup from my laptop with Windows 10 at all in any date. When I first configured my Windows 10 laptop, it restored the Windows 8 backup easily.
how to force the laptop with Windows 10 to save a backup to Onedrive?

During WW2, it was very unusual for a woman to be a pilot. When there was a shortage of male pilots due to their being needed in combat, an experimental project was begun where female pilots would be used by the military(although they weren't part of the military) to assist with ferrying aircrafts from the manufacturers to military bases. Female pilots, WomenAir Force Service Pilots,(WASP) also would test repaired planes to see if they were SAFE for male pilots to fly. They also were asked to help train soldiers by towing targets behind their airplane for the soldiers to shoot at(with REAL ammunition). Out of the 1074 WASP, 38 would die(11 in training missions). After the war, these heroic women were basically forgotten. In fact, what they did was classified. They could not call themselves "veterans", nor did they qualify for any military benefits. This wouldn't change until 1977. This play covers what it was like for a female member of the WASP and how their contributions were ignored but eventually honored for all that they did during World War 2.
Great for Women's History Month, study on World War 2 or for a substitute or day before a holiday when you wish to introduce kids to some areas of history in our country.
This Reader's Theater Script using a compilation of women to create Mildred Wallingford, a member of the WASP. Real members are also mentioned throughout the reading.

Ukraine's public diplomacy is an instrument of Ukraine's foreign policy aimed at promoting an attractive image of the state abroad through communication at the level of the public of other states. It includes the use of cultural diplomacy, social media, cooperation with non-governmental organizations and the Ukrainian diaspora, the creation and promotion of a state brand, and more. The impetus for the intensification of Ukrainian public diplomacy was the counteraction to Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine and the information war, Ukraine's search for foreign support, and the process of Ukraine's European and Euro-Atlantic integration.

Subjects of public diplomacy of Ukraine

The main institution for the development and implementation of public diplomacy in Ukraine is the Department of Public Diplomacy under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, which was established in 2015. The main tasks of the office are as follows:

 the development of public relations, public associations, and media between other countries and Ukraine.
 the implementation of image, cultural and information projects of Ukraine abroad.
 the coordination of measures of other executive bodies in these areas.

The Department of Public Diplomacy consists of the following departments: the Department of Cultural Diplomacy, the Department of Image Projects, and the Department of Media Relations. The department has its official Facebook page.

An important role in promoting the cultural component of the public diplomacy of Ukraine is played by the Ukrainian Institute together with the special institutions of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine: the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation and the Ukrainian Book Institute, which promote Ukrainian culture and its integration into the world cultural space. A successful example of the use of cultural diplomacy is the Austria-Ukraine Culture Year 2019, in which a number of events were organized and held in both countries in many areas of culture and art.

Since 2006, 31 cultural and information centers have been operating at foreign diplomatic missions of Ukraine, disseminating information about Ukraine in the host country.

Ukrainian expatriates (communities of the Ukrainian diaspora and activists of the new wave of volunteer support for the events related to the Revolution of Dignity and military actions in eastern Ukraine) are a powerful provider of Ukrainian cultural promotion. In 2013–2015, the "last wave" of the Ukrainian diaspora abroad founded about 50 volunteer movements.

The Ukrainian Diaspora has also established the Global Ukraine Network, which aims to bring together the creative, intellectual, and financial resources of Ukrainians around the world to support the effort of creating an extraterritorial Ukrainian space where leading Ukrainian organizations, independent leaders, and experts can promote the interests of Ukraine.

Thematic documents

The concept of the popularization of Ukraine in the world and the promotion of Ukraine's interests in the world information space.

(Approved by the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on October 11, 2016, № 739-r)

Purpose of the Concept:

 Popularization of Ukraine in world information resources and national information resources of foreign states, aimed at protecting its political, economic and socio-cultural interests, strengthening its national security, and restoring territorial integrity.
 Formation of a positive image of Ukraine by highlighting objective information about competitive advantages, strengths, significant achievements of our country on the world stage, and broad prospects for the cooperation of the international community with Ukraine.
 Provision at the interdepartmental level of constant operational and coordinated activities for the preparation and dissemination in the world information space of truthful and objective information about Ukraine, in particular its individual regions, as well as increasing the tourist and investment attractiveness of Ukraine.

The doctrine of Ukraine's information security

(Approved by the Decree of the President of Ukraine on February 25, 2017, № 47/2017)

The purpose of the Doctrine is to clarify the principles of formation and implementation of state information policy, primarily to counter the destructive information influence of the Russian Federation in the context of its hybrid war. The Doctrine, in particular, states such principles as:

 Formation of a positive image of Ukraine in the world, communication of operative, reliable and objective information about events in Ukraine to the international community.

 Development of the foreign broadcasting system of Ukraine, ensuring the presence of a foreign-language Ukrainian channel in cable networks, and in satellite broadcasting outside Ukraine.

Ukraine 2020 Sustainable Development Strategy

(Approved by the Decree of the President of Ukraine on January 12, 2015, № 5/2015)

The strategy, in particular, states the need to create and implement a program to promote Ukraine around the world and promote the interests of Ukraine in the global information space, specified as one of the top priorities, and the program to create a brand "Ukraine."

Brand of Ukraine

In 2010, CFC Consulting developed the first comprehensive national branding strategy "Ukraine" for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. Within its framework, the slogan of positioning Ukraine abroad was created - "Ukraine, moving in the fast lane!"

Ukraine NOW is the official brand of Ukraine in accordance with the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated May 10, 2018. The concept with the logo was developed by the creative agency "Banda Agency" to establish the brand of Ukraine around the world, attract investment to the country, and improve tourism potential. Ukraine NOW is an open brand that can be used by anyone. The logo is actively used by government agencies and Ukrainian companies.

Reviews of this brand are mostly positive, as evidenced by the victory of Banda in the design competition Red Dot Award 2018 for branding Ukraine in the category of Corporate Identity.
