Biographie
Eugène Green naît en 1947 à New York.

Très tôt, il décide de quitter les États-Unis, qu'il nomme dans ses écrits la « Barbarie » et dont il ne prononce jamais le nom, et désire émigrer en Europe. Après avoir voyagé à travers l'Europe, à Munich, à Prague et en Italie, il s'établit finalement à Paris en 1969 et y poursuit des études de lettres (licence et maîtrise de 1970 à 1973) puis d'histoire de l'art (licence et DEA de 1975 à 1977).

Il obtient la nationalité française en 1976.

Il est figurant dans le film de Robert Bresson, Le Diable probablement.

En 1977, il crée sa compagnie, le théâtre de la Sapience. Après des années passées à avoir tenté de restituer un théâtre baroque, il se tourne vers le cinéma à partir de la fin des années 1990 et se désinvestit du théâtre.

En 1997, il obtient l'avance sur recettes pour réaliser son premier film Toutes les nuits. Il tourne le film en 1999 et le film sort sur les écrans en 2001. Il obtient alors le prix Louis-Delluc. Le film attire notamment l'attention de Jean-Luc Godard. Quand Serge Kaganski l'interroge en 2004 sur les films qui l'ont intéressé au cours des dernières années, Godard cite Toutes les nuits.

En 1999, il met en scène Mithridate de Jean Racine à la chapelle de la Sorbonne.

Chez Desclée de Brouwer, il publie un recueil de contes : La Rue des canettes (2003) et deux essais : La Parole baroque (2001) et Présences : essai sur la nature du cinéma (2003).

En 2002, il tourne le court métrage Le nom du feu. La même année, il représente le Sermon sur la mort de Bossuet à l'église Saint-Étienne-du-Mont. Pour retrouver l'esprit du , l'église est éclairée à la bougie et Eugène Green déclame le sermon depuis la chaire.

En 2003, il sort deux livres, le recueil de contes Rue des Canettes et l'essai sur la parole au cinéma Présences. En attendant les financement pour Le Pont des Arts, il obtient des financements pour un court-métrage qui devient finalement un long métrage de 75 minutes, Le Monde vivant. La même année , il obtient l'avance sur recettes pour tourner Le Pont des Arts, un projet ancien qui remonte à 1997. L'histoire se passe à Paris entre 1979 et 1980. Elle est centrée autour de deux personnages. Sarah (Natacha Régnier), une chanteuse baroque, terrorisée par son chef (Denis Podalydès), est amenée à se suicider. Pascal (Adrien Michaux), étudiant en lettres, est au bord du suicide mais retrouve le goût de vivre en entendant la voix de Sarah sur un disque qui lui a été offert par son ancienne petite amie. Autour de ces deux personnages et de leurs compagnons respectifs, on trouve un ensemble de personnages caricaturaux comme le chef de l'ensemble musical dans lequel chante Sarah, Guigui, le metteur en scène Jean-Astolphe Meréville interprété par Olivier Gourmet ou encore la professeur de surréalisme interprétée par Julia Gros de Gasquet. Le film est à la fois une fable sur la force de l'art qui permet à Pascal et Sarah de se retrouver par delà la mort et une vive satire du monde de la musique baroque. Comme toujours, le cinéma d'Eugène Green clive fortement la critique. Certains, à l'image de Jean Collet dans la revue Étvdes, condamnent la radicalité des partis pris esthétiques, considérant que le choix de prononcer toutes les liaisons donne . L'aspect satirique du film dérange aussi certains critiques, comme Jean-Philippe Tessé, qui n'y voit qu'un .

Il est apparu en tant qu'acteur en 2006 dans Les Amitiés maléfiques d'Emmanuel Bourdieu et dans Fragments sur la grâce de Vincent Dieutre.

Il publie son premier roman La Reconstruction en 2008.

En 2009, il tourne La Religieuse portugaise à Lisbonne en portugais. Le film raconte l'histoire de Julie de Hauranne (Leonor Baldaque), une actrice française qui se rend à Lisbonne pour le tournage d'une adaptation cinématographique des Lettres portugaises de Gabriel de Guilleragues. Lors de ses pérégrinations à travers la ville, elle tente de donner un sens nouveau à sa vie.

La même année, il publie un deuxième roman, La Bataille de Roncevaux, dans lequel il raconte l'itinéraire spirituel d'un jeune Basque forcé de se confronter à l'apprentissage du français.

En 2011, il publie La Communauté universelle, qui reçoit le Grand Prix Catholique de Littérature 2012. Le roman raconte l'histoire d'un couple qui, après que la femme a soudainement quitté son mari, effectue chacun de son côté un retour aux sources.

Les Atticistes (2012) est un roman satirique racontant essentiellement l'histoire de deux personnages: Amédée Lucien Astrafolli, digne représentant de l'atticisme français, et Marie-Albane de Courtambat, sémiologue, féministe et adepte de la « méta-littérature » tout au long de la seconde moitié du .

Il publie en 2014 aux éditions Arfuyen, son premier livre de poésie, Le Lac de cendres.

Analyse de l'œuvre théâtrale

Fondé en 1977, le Théâtre de la Sapience cherche à faire revivre l'art du théâtre baroque en utilisant les moyens spécifiques, déclamatoires et visuels qui le constituaient. La démarche est l'analogue de celle qui a permis de retrouver, en musique, le style de jeu des instruments "anciens" et, en danse, le langage de la danse baroque. L'art de la déclamation repose sur un code artistique très précis concernant le rythme, l'accentuation et la prononciation, tous trois très différents du langage parlé de l'époque. La déclamation est accompagnée d'une gestique selon un code très précis également. La mise en scène est frontale, face à « La Présence » (la place du Roi, voir l'article : Inégalités dans la musique baroque). L'éclairage aux bougies produit des jeux de lumière très spécifiques dont la mise en scène tire profit.

Depuis 1980, Eugène Green a formé comédiens et chanteurs, dans des stages à l'Accademia Claudio Monteverdi (Venise), le Corso d'Estate di Erice (Sicile), le Centre de Musique ancienne de Genève, l'École supérieure d'art dramatique du Conservatoire de Genève et le Corso internazionale di Urbino.

 Pièces de Pierre Corneille : La Suivante (Avignon, 1993 ; Paris, 1996), Le Cid (Avignon, Paris, 1995), La Place Royale (Avignon, Marseille, Paris, 1996).
 Pièce de Jean Racine : Mithridate (25 représentations dans la Chapelle de la Sorbonne, 28 septembre-30 octobre 1999).
 Mise en scène de Jean-Philippe Rameau : Castor et Pollux (Théâtre national de Prague, 1999).

Lors des représentations de Mithridate, le Théâtre de la Sapience révèle qu'il ne reçoit aucune subvention des organismes publics chargés d'aider le théâtre et fait appel, à travers son association, au soutien financier des spectateurs.

Eugène Green est le seul écrivain et metteur en scène français à avoir fait ce travail de fond pour le théâtre baroque, travail qui se poursuit par les nombreux élèves qu'il a formés. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (dont une captation a été publiée par les éditions Alpha en 2005), comédie-ballet de Molière et Lully, mis en scène par Benjamin Lazar et en musique par Le Poème Harmonique, sous la direction de Vincent Dumestre, lui est pleinement redevable.

Analyse de l'œuvre cinématographique

Influences
Le cinéaste se réclame de Robert Bresson, du « grand cinéma européen de 1955 à 1979 », d'Ozu, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Wong Kar-wai et Hirokazu Kore-eda.

Esthétique
En 2009, Eugène Green publie un essai intitulé Poétique du cinématographe dans lequel il justifie ses choix esthétiques. En 2010, il est l'invité d'honneur du festival Paris Cinéma. C'est l'occasion pour lui de donner une leçon de cinéma.

Dans ses films, les personnages parlent un français parfait en prononçant toutes les liaisons, ce qui produit un décalage avec le langage commun qui n'en fait que quelques-unes ; mais Green s'amuse aussi avec ce style en introduisant parfois un terme familier, produisant ainsi un nouveau décalage dans un effet humoristique. C'est par exemple le personnage joué par Adrien Michaux, qui, dans Le Monde vivant, enchaîne ses liaisons littéraires en demandant à son interlocutrice : "Qui est-ce, ce mec ?". Green explicite ces liaisons dans son refus d'un effet psychologique verbal ou gestuel de l'acteur que pourrait amener un langage commun. Ceci n'est pas possible avec une diction dont les liaisons imposent une linéarité d'expression poussant à l'intériorité. Ainsi selon lui, peut se libérer de l'acteur une énergie générée par cette introversion, qui n'est pas d'origine mentale, mais qui s'apparente plutôt au registre de l'émotion.

Quand il filme un dialogue entre deux personnages, plutôt que de placer sa caméra tour à tour dans un angle de 70 degrés par rapport à l'un des deux protagonistes, il place souvent sa caméra en face de chacun des protagonistes pour .

WhatsApp lead and other tech experts fire back at Apple's Child Safety plan
A new open letter asked Apple to reconsider the changes
By Mitchell Clark
Updated Aug 7, 2021, 7:55 PM UTC |
The chorus of voices expressing concern and dismay over Apple's new Child Safety measures grew louder over the weekend, as an open letter with more than 4,000 signatures made the rounds online. The Apple Privacy Letter asked the iPhone maker to "reconsider its technology rollout," lest it undo "decades of work by technologists, academics and policy advocates" on privacy-preserving measures.
Apple's plan, which it announced on Thursday, involves taking hashes of images uploaded to iCloud and comparing them to a database that contains hashes of known CSAM images. According to Apple, this allows it to keep user data encrypted and run the analysis on-device while still allowing it to report users to the authorities if they're found to be sharing child abuse imagery. Another prong of Apple's Child Safety strategy involves optionally warning parents if their child under 13 years old sends or views photos containing sexually explicit content. An internal memo at Apple acknowledged that people would be "worried about the implications" of the systems.
Cathcart calls Apple's approach "very concerning," and he's not alone
WhatsApp's head Will Cathcart said in a Twitter thread that his company wouldn't be adopting the safety measures, calling Apple's approach "very concerning." Cathcart said WhatsApp's system to fight child exploitation, which partly utilizes user reports, preserves encryption like Apple's and has led to the company reporting over 400,000 cases to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in 2020. (Apple is also working with the Center for its CSAM detection efforts.)
WhatsApp's owner, Facebook, has reasons to pounce on Apple for privacy concerns. Apple's changes to how ad tracking works in iOS 14.5 started a fight between the two companies, with Facebook buying newspaper ads criticizing Apple's privacy changes as harmful to small businesses. Apple fired back, saying that the change "simply requires" that users be given a choice on whether to be tracked.
The list of people and organizations raising concerns about Apple's policy includes Edward Snowden, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, professors, and more. We've collected some of those reactions here to act as an overview of some of the criticisms levied against Apple's new policy.
Matthew Green, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University, pushed back on the feature before it was publicly announced. He tweeted about Apple's plans and about how the hashing system could be abused by governments and malicious actors.
The EFF released a statement that blasted Apple's plan, more or less calling it a "thoroughly documented, carefully thought-out, and narrowly-scoped backdoor." The EFF's press release goes into detail on how it believes Apple's Child Safety measures could be abused by governments and how they decrease user privacy.
Kendra Albert, an instructor at Harvard's Cyberlaw Clinic, has a thread on the potential dangers to queer children and Apple's initial lack of clarity around age ranges for the parental notifications feature.
Edward Snowden retweeted the Financial Times article about the system, giving his own characterization of what Apple is doing.
Politician Brianna Wu called the system "the worst idea in Apple History."
Writer Matt Blaze also tweeted about the concerns that the technology could be abused by overreaching governments, trying to prevent content other than CSAM.
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney also criticized Apple, saying that the company "vacuums up everybody's data into iCloud by default." He also promised to share more thoughts specifically about Apple's Child Safety system.
Not every reaction has been critical, however. Ashton Kutcher (who has done advocacy work to end child sex trafficking since 2011) calls Apple's work "a major step forward" for efforts to eliminate CSAM.

Memorial for Yizchak Rabin
Simon Leiser
JMABC
Birth: April 9, 1851 in Kerpen, Germany
Death: May 12, 1917 (age 66) in Vancouver, B.C.
At the age of 17 he came to America to apprentice in his uncle's brewery in Madison, Wisconsin. There, at the age of 20 he met his 16 year old cousin Caroline, a gifted pianist and his future wife. The young couple married and moved to San Francisco. Simon obtained a contract from Capt. William Moore to build the 100 km Cassiar Trail connecting Telegraph Creek to Dease Lake.
He brought his younger brother Gustav from Germany to help him.
Jacob Lenz's (Caroline's father and Simon's father-in-law and uncle) brewery business went bankrupt due to poor crops in the Midwest so Jacob brought his family to the interior to join Gus and Simon.
In 1880 the Cassiar gold was finished and Simon Leiser returned to Victoria where with a partner he opened a coffee and spice shop. He had a newly patented steam driven 3 horse power engine used to grind coffee and spices. He sold all the coffee and spices used in the Province. Simon was able to raise money in San Francisco, Montreal, and with the financial help of some of Victoria's business elites, in 1894 Simon created the Simon Leiser & Co. As business prospered he opened branch stores in the coal mining and lumbering towns on Vancouver Island (Ladysmith, Comox Valley etc.) Eventually he employed 100 people making Simon Leiser & Co. biggest firm of its kind on the island. The company sold supplies and food to miners during the Klondike gold rush in the Yukon in 1897-8.
The building at 524 Yates was the warehouse for the Simon Leiser & Co and was built in 1896 for $35,000. It's is a 3 storey brick warehouse built in the Eclectic High Victoria Style. The Victorian Eclectic style of architecture dates from the 1870s through 1900 and features a fusion of elements from a variety of Victorian styles to create highly decorative surfaces. It was heated with hot water, totally fire proof and state of the art. The basement was well ventilated and had a cement floor which kept temperatures cool even on hot summer days allowing them to store butter and other temperature sensitive items.
General offices, private offices, and cigar and tobacco rooms were located on the ground floor. Storage rooms were stacked full. There was an electric freight elevator to make it easier to handle the goods on every floor. Tracks run north-south and east-west for easy access to any part of the building. Merchandise loaded onto the platform from a north-south direction, could be rotated and reoriented in an east-west direction for unloading. Cargo could be handled with a minimum of time and labor. It was a grocery warehouse until 1960, then it was empty until it became an office building. It was renovated for condos and is a heritage building.
As his wealth and social statue grew, Simon became a philanthropist and active civically. He served on the board, of the synagogue, organized the Victoria an Island Development Association, and served on the council of the Victoria Board of trade for 15 years. He was influential in getting a large amount of federal funds to improve the Victoria Harbor, to build of the Grand Truck docks, and the Empress Hotel. He served on the board of the Royal Jubilee Hospital. Simon was the prime mover in the Victoria Opera House Co a syndicate which promoted and built the 1200 seat Royal Victoria Theater, which opened on December 29, 1913.
On May 7, 1915 during World War 1, the a German U-boat torpedoed the RMS Lusitania off the Irish coast. 1198 people were killed including James Dunsmiur Jr. son of a wealthy and influential man and other Victoria residents. Victoria was one of the few cities in the world in which rioting took place. People vandalizing any business owned by someone with a German sounding name, including all the properties owned by all of the Leiser brothers. This even though Simon had been a productive citizen of BC for 40 years, a naturalized Canadian for 23 or that James Dunsmiur was a stockholder in the company.
In 1894, Simon bought two sealing schooners: the Wanderer and, the Favorite. Thinking that they were British vessels, American coast guard officials seized the ships. Having never been a British subject, Simon he filed a claim. He joined the board of the Victoria Sealing Co. Hunting of seals for their furs ended due to drawn out international negotiations involving Simon Leiser.
Simon and Caroline Leiser had 1 son and 5 daughters; two of whom married Oppenheimer brothers and lived in Vancouver. Simon went to Vancouver on a business trip, and suddenly on May 12, 1917 while at his daughter Amy Oppenheimer's home, he died of a brain hemorrhage. He was 66 and was buried with Jewish and Masonic ritual in the family plot in Victoria's Jewish cemetery. The business was sold to the wholesale grocers Kelly Douglas and Co Ltd.

Do you know how many liters of water are used to produce the fruit we eat? When thinking about it, bear in mind not only the amount of water in the fruit you eat, but also how much water was needed to grow it.
The amount will vary widely depending on the type of fruit and the agricultural conditions under which it was produced. Crops planted and harvested in the right soil and climate and in their natural seasons consume much less water than out of season produce, which require large quantities of irrigation water. For example, according to Fábio Miranda, researcher at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA, acronym in Portuguese), 1 kg of off-season mango produced in Brazil's semi-arid region in the country's Northeast Region requires up to 450L of irrigation water, while other fruits, such as guava, papaya and water melon, require 400, 360, and 140L per kg respectively.
According to the specialist, in-season fruits generally don't require irrigation, which means that buying seasonal fruits can help save water. So, on World Water Day (March 22), you now know that a simple change in attitudes towards food purchasing (i.e., buying fruits that are in-season in your region) can help reduce the hydrological impacts of food production, which is good for the environment and, consequently, good for us all.
Not only do fruits and vegetables grown out of season use more water, but also more inputs, such as pesticides and fertilizers. This makes production more expensive, explaining why in season fruit and vegetables are generally cheaper and more abundant than out of season produce. In fact, this is one way of identifying whether a product is in season or not, because availability will be greater and prices will be lower than usual.
Irrigation accounts for most of Brazil's water consumption, given that agriculture is one of the country's main economic activities. According to Brazil's National Water Agency, agriculture used 969,000L of water per second in 2016, which is equivalent to 67.2% of the country's total water consumption and double that of the second-placed activity (urban water supply), which used around 488,300L per second.
Apart from consuming large quantities of energy and resources, the maintenance and operation of irrigation systems requires major infrastructure and technology. According to Miranda, however, the performance efficiency of Brazil's irrigation systems is generally low (around only 59%) and water losses can occur due to an array of factors, including the use of irrigation methods that are unsuitable for the type of crop, area or climate and poor time and irrigation period management.
These figures for agricultural water consumption may appear daunting to the consumer. Given such huge levels of consumption, we might ask ourselves: are we as individuals capable of making a difference? In this respect, it is important to realize that out of season fruit and vegetable production only exists because there is consumer demand for these products. This means that the use of water resources for irrigation can be reduced if consumers buy fruit and vegetables produced in their natural growing season, without the need for the intensive use of inputs and technology.
It is also important to remember that we influence the consumption behavior of our family members and friends, meaning that – without the slightest of effort – we can multiply the impact of our consumption practices. If we each make a conscious effort to tell our friends and family what we read in this article and encourage them to change their behavior, this will have a "multiplier effect" and the impact of our sustainable consumption practices will be even greater!
In a country as vast as Brazil, the growing season for different crops varies according to region. The natural growing season for mangos, for example, is October to December in the Southeast and year-round in the Northeast, while cashews are naturally abundant from August to December in states like Ceará, Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte. Also in the Northeast, hog plum is harvested between March and June, while figs are harvested in the South generally between December and April.
Not only does buying seasonal produce significantly reduce the demand for water, but it also leads to an automatic decline in the use of fossil fuels, as the distance travelled to transport products to the supermarket shelves is much shorter. This in turn leads to a reduction in GHG emissions – the main cause of global warming and climate change, which poses significant threats to the environment and human well-being – and thus the overall environmental impact of the product.
The transport of fruits and vegetables over long distances also requires refrigeration, which in turn consumes more energy, thus increasing their environmental impact and making the final product more expensive. The cherries that are part of our Christmas dinner for example are imported from temperate countries and are pricey for Brazilians. So, if you are a fan of cherries, you don't need to stop eating them, but you could maybe eat less and combine dessert with fruits that are in-season in your region.
Fruits transported over shorter distances are not only cheaper, but also less vulnerable to damage during transportation, thus reducing waste and making them more attractive to customers on the supermarket shelves. Fresher fruit are also more tasty and nutritious. But how can you tell if fruits are in season? The lists made available to consumers can sometimes contain conflicting information, because natural growing seasons may vary from year to year (due to climate) and from region to region, and can end up confusing the consumer. It is best to keep an eye out for low prices and increased availability on the supermarket shelves, both of which are indicators of in-season produce.
If you are willing to always purchase seasonal fruits and vegetables, there is a good chance that you will find delicious in-season produce at a reasonable price and with a lower negative environmental impact. Change your attitudes – it's simple and delicious!

Patidars' agitation and the downfall of "Gujarat model"
By Amulya Ganguli
Nothing shows the distortions that have vitiated the policy of reservations more starkly than the agitation by the financially and politically influential Patel community in Gujarat for inclusion in the backward-caste category to avail of the quota system in the allocation of government jobs and educational opportunities.
Behind their quest for safety in the reserved categories is the evident failure of the much-vaunted 'Gujarat model' of development which was touted by Narendra Modi as the panacea for the entire country.
Yet, since the preference for reservations is a throwback to the days of scarcity during the licence-permit-control raj, the latest upsurge shows that little has changed in the economy. The scourge of joblessness remains as potent under the pro-market dispensation as it was under the controlled economy.
Even then, there is something odd about an enterprising community like the Patels wanting the government to act as their nanny, as it were.
The OBC (Other Backward Class) of the Hindi belt, too, comprised dominant groups in the countryside when they secured 27 percent reservations for themselves in 1990.
But unlike the Patels, they occupied a lowly position socially. As B.P. Mandal, a former chief minister of Bihar and author of the Mandal commission report recommending 27 percent reservation, said, he was not allowed as a school student to eat with his upper caste companions by the Brahmin principal. Mandal was discriminated against although he belonged to a wealthy landowning family.
But the Patels or Patidars – the word means the same as zamindars – never experienced such social disadvantages. Not surprisingly, they were part of the anti-reservation movements in Gujarat in the late 1970s and early 1980s directed against the Congress-led state government's KHAM vote bank comprising Kshatriyas, Harijans, Adivasis and Muslims.
It is strange, therefore, that the Patels of the Patel-motel fame (they run a large number of roadside hotels across the US) should now want to take a step back into the backward caste category.
Such a regressive outlook is all the more curious because the Patels, like most Gujaratis, are known for their entrepreneurship. For them to seek reservations in government establishments cannot be easily explained when the country has opted for a pro-market economy with its emphasis on the private sector.
The role of the government and the public sector is therefore expected to shrink in the coming years. As such, it makes little point to seek employment in these sectors.
Similarly, seeking admission via reservations in government schools and colleges doesn't make any sense because of the preference of parents now to admit their children in English-medium private schools as these are believed to be better at preparing the students to face the challenges of a globalized environment.
In a way, the agitation by the Patels for OBC status is similar to the one by the Gujjars of Rajasthan who wanted a relegation from their existing backward caste category to a Scheduled Tribe (ST) classification since the recognition of Jats as OBCs in the state eroded the availability of reserved jobs.
This kind of a backward march is the result of dwindling employment opportunities at a time when the private sector is not expanding fast enough to make up for the reduction of government jobs. Besides, the Gujarat model may be more hype than reality.
Till now, the failures of this model have been noted by Amartya Sen and other Leftists in social sectors such as infant mortality, whose rate is as high as 60.9 per 1,000 children in Gujarat against 16.2 in Kerala. Moreover, the percentage of people below the poverty line in Gujarat is 31.6 against 19.6 in Kerala.
But the latest disturbances point to failures in the commercial segment as well with the small and medium enterprises not faring well and the capital-intensive industries not creating enough jobs.
While the phenomenon of jobless growth where robots replace humans on the shop floor is one aspect of the scene in Gujarat, another is how reservations have come to be viewed as the panacea for such situations, especially when those searching for jobs or educational opportunities find their prospects blocked not by deserving individuals but by beneficiaries of allotted quotas where castes are the passwords.
In a system where the accident of birth trumps merit, the demand by the leader of the Gujarat agitators, 22-year-old Hardik Patel, that either the provision of all facilities be determined by caste or that the system should be thrown open to all will appear justifiable.
Arguably, the gross misuse of reservations by myopic politicians intent on catering for particular support groups has led to this volatile situation. The worst example of such misuse is how the Supreme Court's directive on excluding the creamy layer or the successful beneficiaries from the quota system has been negated by a constant upward revision of the criteria for such exclusion by the ruling politicians.
For Modi, the fire in his backyard is the most worrisome of the problems which he faces. And there are many – an economy which refuses to look up, the imbroglio over pension for ex-servicemen and an agitation in the Film and Television Institute of India which underlines the government's insensitivity to matters of popular culture.

I'm going to move to Australia and steal things.
Don't get me wrong, there's not some secret advanced chemical formula, mystical potion, or anti-aging totem that I plan to take. Honestly, I don't think it matters what I steal, as I long as I engage in acts of physical theft, and if I keep it small I reckon I can probably get away with it. And the Australian government seems not only to not want to thwart my criminal plans, but actually to encourage them. Why else would the government have put out a press release announcing "Prison population ageing, but robbery offenders getting younger"? This information is derived from a report bearing the primary title Australian Corrections, and if getting me back to the age I picture myself as being isn't a correction, I don't know what is!
So the next time you see me, don't be surprised if I've got more hair, tighter skin, and some Australian stuff I didn't pay for.
We should rearrange all of the countries in the world to put them in alphabetical order. This will make them easier to find on a map and improve geography grades.
As a side benefit, while Iraq and Iran will still be adjacent and thus subject to their frictions, there will be a buffer state between them and Israel — Ireland!
It's better than Flies in the WiFies.
yesterday afternoon the new posh slick black internet router was discovered when I picked it up to try and work out why the internet was so very, very slow, to contain an ants' nest, upsetting a very large number of little black ants in the process, most of whom ran off, carrying their eggs and probably grumbling about me in Ant.
Just a tip, to anyone who has a similar problem.
With prices being driven up (and silly steps like charging for any luggage and ceasing giving out peanuts being used to keep prices down), the airline business is clearly in crisis. They need more passengers taking trips. So here's what I suppose.
Have there be one state, just one state, where out-of-state gay couples can get legally married.
Take another state – make it a highly populated one with a strong urban center so that there will be plenty of gay couples – and have them not let gay couples get married, but have the state recognize such gay marriages that take place in any state where such marriage is legal.
To maximize the gain to the airline industry, let's places these states on opposite sides of the continents. Think of all the flying that will take place for marriages, to attend the wedding ceremony, and so forth. Problem solved.
Time to solve the fuel problem.
I read an article earlier today that said that we can save gas by slowing down — that over the speed of 60 MPH, every additional 10 MPG deducts 4 from our MPG, and that holds surprisingly true as a constant. So, they would have as go slower to save small amounts of gas.
But – now stay with me here – what if we went the other way. The car I drive gets around 30 miles per gallon at 60 MPH. What if I were to drive it at 140 MPH? I'd be going 80 – that's 8 tens – MPH over 60, which means I'd drive my MPG down by 8-times-4, which is 32. Subtract that from the 30 MPG that I usually get, that means I'd be getting negative two miles per gallon. Now, negative 2 doesn't sound like very much, but if I were to drive for an hour at that speed, I'd have gone 140 miles, which means that I would have used negative 70 gallons of gas. That's right, my car would have generated 70 gallons of gas.
Now doing this would be dangerous, of course. My gas tank won't hold 70 gallons. It holds about 10, which means that it would fill up in 20 miles, and beyond that I would be spilling gas all over the road. But if I cut down to 130 mph for 20 miles, I'd use up those 10 gallons again. So the practical and safe thing to do is to alternate between going 140 MPH for a fixed distance, and then covering that same distance again at 130.
Really, given the purity of this math, I don't see how we can not adopt this as a standard policy.

Ancient Comics Line This Roman-Era Tomb in Jordan
Some of the nearly 260 figures depicted in the paintings are given speech captions reminiscent of modern comics
Jason Daley
Two stonecutters at work.
When people talk about old comics, strips like Little Orphan Annie or Nancy probably come to mind. But archaeologists in Jordan recently uncovered a truly old incarnation of the form. Painted on the walls inside a 2,000-year-old Roman-era tomb, Ariel David at Haaretz reports that there are nearly 260 figures featured in narrative scenes, with many speaking via comic-style speech bubbles.
The tomb was discovered during road construction in 2016 near the town of Bayt Ras, north of Irbid, Jordan. Since that time, Jordanian and foreign experts have studied the tomb, believed to be part of a necropolis. "The tomb is located on the site of the ancient city of Capitolias, which was founded in the late 1st century C.E., and was part of the Decapolis, a region that brought together Hellenized cities (provided with Greek-style institutions but belonging to the Roman Empire) in the southeastern area of the Near East, between Damascus and Amman," Julien Aliquot, a researcher from Histoire et sources des mondes antiques (HiSoMA), which is studying the site, says in a press release.
The figures on the wall are in good condition though there is some sign that the tomb was looted sometime before its official discovery. The colorful images capture a vibrant, thriving city on the outskirts of the Roman Empire— there are gods of Olympus feasting together and being served by humans, peasants tending their fields and grapevines, lumberjacks cutting down trees, as well as detailed panels of architects and workers building the city. On the ceiling, the paintings depict the Nile and the marine world as well as frolicking cupids.
Perhaps the most striking feature for modern viewers are the little captions that appear next to some of the figures. "These 60 or so texts painted in black, some of which we have already deciphered, have the distinctive feature of being written in the local language of Aramaic, while using Greek letters," researcher Jean-Baptiste Yon says in the release. "This combination of the two primary idioms of the ancient Near East is extremely rare, and will help to better identify the structure and evolution of Aramaic. The inscriptions are actually similar to speech bubbles in comic books, because they describe the activities of the characters, who offer explanations of what they are doing ('I am cutting (stone),' 'Alas for me! I am dead!'), which is also extraordinary."
The clearing of the site of Capitolias, with the assistance of Dionysos and other gods.
As a whole, the comic strip tells a story of sorts. The researchers believe that the panels document the founding of the city, with the first banquet scene showing the gods deciding on where to locate Capitolias. Succeeding panels capture people clearing land for the city, building its walls and celebrating their work with a sacrifice to the patron deity of the city, Jupiter Capitolinus.
"According to our interpretation, there is a very good chance that the figure buried in the tomb is the person who had himself represented while officiating in the sacrifice scene from the central painting, and who consequently was the founder of the city," historian Pierre-Louis Gatier says in the release. "His name has not yet been identified, although it could be engraved on the lintel of the door, which has not yet been cleared."
While the comics are interesting, David of Haaretz points out that we can't call them the first comics. Some older images from ancient Egypt contain similar captions and, depending on your definition of a comic, Neolithic cave paintings of hunting scenes might be earliest progenitor of the X-Men.
In any case, the images are interesting and may help researchers learn more about the culture and people of Capitolias and the Decapolis's league of 10 cities—later 14—on the eastern edge of the Roman Empire stretching between modern-day Jordan into parts of Israel and Syria.

Hi! Sign in to let us know how Forrest Pump Svc Inc was?
When we had problems with our well pump we called Forrest Pump Service and they came right out. The problem had to do with our pump and our tank. They gave us a deal on both services and replaced the tank but when they went to deal with the pump, which required using the truck and pulling it out of the ground, it started raining. They said they didn't want to risk getting struck by lightning and that they would still honor the deal. Sure enough they came back and finished the job. I highly recommend this company.
If you've been to or used Forrest Pump Svc Inc, leave a review.


It is. Did this when Mustang was featured in Grand Prix Festival and they had the streets blocked. Went through twice.
Meeting at wegmans in Elmira at 10, Dandy in Alpine Junction at 12, Heading to Watkins over 224 to Gorge Park. Then cruising original track, going back to Park parking lot. Meeting up with NYMustangs for track time.
I'll have to go check it out once my clutch is fixed. I'm only an hour and a half out. It would make for a good day cruise.
Stopping in Alpine first ,like last year?

A single mother of one has been jailed for three years after almost £5,000 worth of drugs were found in her home.
Police uncovered the haul of cocaine and heroin when they swooped on Laura Winchurch's flat in Acorn Mews, Willenhall, on April 20 following a tip off, a judge heard.
As the officers prepared to launch the raid at 6.30am an Audi driven by Kirk Smart parked outside.
The 36-year-old was seen entering the building and arrested as he emerged soon afterwards.
A search revealed he was carrying £800 worth of drugs packaged into bundles with each containing several £10 wraps of heroin and cocaine for street deals, Mr Geoffrey Dann, prosecuting, told Wolverhampton Crown Court.
Smart also had the keys to a Vauxhall Tigra parked in the area and unspecified amounts of cash were found in this vehicle as well as the Audi.
Winchurch was in the flat where police discovered more drugs and money, the court heard.
There was £345 cash hidden in a colander in a kitchen cupboard together with varying amounts of crack, cocaine and a cutting agent.
Some of the drugs had already been parcelled into 106 £10 street deals of cocaine and heroin, continued Mr Dann, who added that both Smart and Winchurch played significant roles in the operation.
She had several previous convictions, one of which was for producing cannabis, and gave a 'no comment' interview when quizzed by detectives.
Mr Simon Hunka, defending her, conceded: "There was an element of financial gain, not to make her rich but to enable her to fund her own drug taking.
"What happened is entirely her own fault but it occured after she had been through a difficult time."
The lawyer revealed Winchurch had been diagnosed as Bipolar three years ago and had been through the trauma of having to terminate a pregnancy for medical reasons. Her father is also seriously ill, the court was told.
Mr Hunka pointed out that the defendant had recently moved into the flat and her child had remained with relatives so was not being brought up among the drugs.
Winchurch, who admitted possession of cocaine and heroin with intent to supply, was sent to prison by Recorder Geoffrey Kelly.
He said: "This was a well established street dealing operation. You have had difficult personal circumstances but were dealing to friends for financial gain and there must be a deterrent effect.
"I have no doubt you will get your life back on track following your release."
The case against Smart, who pleaded guilty to the same offence, was adjourned until next month when he is expected to be sentenced.

Translation and Cultural Sustainability:
Substrate, Foundations and Applications
Today, with the acceleration of globalization, there is a growing demand for translations on various inter-national issues requiring a unique multicultural translation tailored to each audience in its target language. Complications arise particularly in the literary and media fields in sensitive areas such as the Middle East.
The main purpose of this paper is to show how translators deal with the objectivity of literary and media translation when it contradicts their personal values. The proposal shows data and findings collected through case studies, and interviews with the translators in the field and analyzed according to the «Grounded Theory» model and the «Integrated Approach» based on the Gestalt principle.
Research findings show some factors that influence the translator's work and his objectivity. In conclusion, the translator has to learn how to maintain objectivity and keep his own personal values at bay during the process of translation.
Key words: translator, objectivity, culture, literary, translation.

Artic News
NOAA Fisheries Proposes Critical Habitat for Ringed and Bearded Seals in U.S. Arctic
Alaska Native News

NOAA Fisheries is proposing to designate critical habitat in U.S. waters off the coast of Alaska for Arctic ringed seals and the Beringia distinct population of bearded seals. Both species are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
The ESA requires that NOAA Fisheries designate critical habitat for listed species in areas within the jurisdiction of the United States. Critical habitat identifies geographic areas that contain features essential to the conservation of a listed species.
Designating critical habitat does not create a preserve or refuge, and would not affect subsistence harvest of ringed or bearded seals by Alaska Natives.
Ringed and Bearded Seals
Four species of ice-associated seals inhabit the U.S. Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas off the coast of Alaska—bearded, ringed, ribbon, spotted seals. The Arctic subspecies of the ringed seal and the Beringia distinct population segment (DPS) of the bearded seal are listed as threatened under the ESA. Both species were listed primarily due to threats associated with long-term reductions in sea ice, and for ringed seals, on-ice snow depths, expected to occur within the foreseeable future.

Ringed Seal
Ringed seals are the smallest Arctic seal species. They get their name from the small, light-colored circles or rings that are scattered throughout the darker hair on the backs of adults. They are in contact with ice most of the year, using the stout claws on their foreflippers to maintain breathing holes in the ice. They depend on the ice and snow to build snow-covered lairs, or snow caves. They use the caves for birthing, feeding, and protecting their pups in late winter and early spring. They also rely on sea ice as a haul-out platform for molting and basking. Ringed seals are the primary prey for polar bears.
The other four subspecies of ringed seals—Ladoga, Saimaa, Baltic, and Okhotsk—are also listed under the ESA, but do not occur in U.S. waters.

Bearded Seals
The bearded seal gets its name from the long white whiskers on its face, which are very sensitive and used to find food on the ocean bottom. Bearded seals inhabit Arctic and sub-Arctic waters that are relatively shallow and seasonally ice-covered. They rely on suitable sea ice, particularly pack ice, as a haul-out platform for giving birth, nursing, molting, and resting.
The Okhotsk DPS of the bearded seal is also listed as threatened under the ESA, but does not occur in U.S. waters.
Populations of ringed and bearded seals in other areas of the world are also listed under the ESA. However, NOAA Fisheries has legal authority to designate critical habitat only in areas under U.S. jurisdiction.
Critical Habitat
The proposed critical habitat identifies physical and biological features essential to the conservation of ringed and bearded seals in the northern Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas that include:
For ringed seals: sea ice suitable for pupping, nursing, basking, and molting, as well as primary prey resources to support these seals.
For bearded seals: sea ice suitable for pupping, nursing, and molting; acoustic conditions that allow for effective communication by bearded seals for breeding purposes; and primary prey resources to support these seals.
When designating critical habitat, NOAA Fisheries uses the best scientific information available (including outside peer review) and considers public comments. We give careful consideration to potential economic, national security, and other relevant factors. NOAA Fisheries has the discretion to exclude any particular area from the critical habitat designation if the benefits of exclusion outweigh the benefits of inclusion, as long as the exclusion would not result in the extinction of the species.
For each species, the proposed critical habitat area includes marine waters of the northern Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas. The proposed southern and northern boundaries differ between the two species, reflecting differences in where the essential habitat features for each species are found. For each of the proposed designations, the geographic extent of the proposed critical habitat is discussed in detail in the proposed rule (links below) and is depicted on a map.
The geographic extent of the proposed critical habitat is necessarily large for each species. The essential features of the critical habitat, in particular the sea ice, are highly variable over time and space, and the seals are both broadly distributed and wide-ranging.
The ESA requires that NOAA Fisheries designate critical habitat at the time a species is listed or within one year if critical habitat is not determinable at that time. A lawsuit challenged NOAA Fisheries for not completing timely designation of critical habitat for ringed and bearded seals. This led to a settlement agreement under which the agency committed to complete proposed determinations of critical habitat by March 15, 2021. NOAA Fisheries previously proposed critical habitat for ringed seals in December 2014. We decided to issue a revised proposed designation for this species, rather than proceeding directly with a final designation, because several years have elapsed since the initial proposal was published.
The proposed rules to designate critical habitat are published in the Federal Register. A supporting draft report for the two critical habitat proposals describes the economic and other impacts of the proposed designations in detail. The proposed rules to designate critical habitat and the draft impact analysis report are available via the Federal eRulemaking Portal
