Tallahassee Reports has obtained a copy of a picture that the Tallahassee Democrat cropped in return for an interview with Andrew Gillum. The picture, shown below, verifies our previous report on the subject.
The cropped picture -taken in New York – accompanied an article authored by Tallahassee Democrat reporter Jeffrey Schweers back in March. The article, written from Gillum's perspective, chronicled Gillum's decision to cut ties with his friend, Adam Corey.
Corey has played a central role in the current FBI investigation into local government corruption.
Schweers did not tell his readers the picture was ultimately cropped and how this decision transpired.
Multiple sources have told TR that when Gillum was made aware of the photo, Gillum supporters reached out and pressured the Tallahassee Democrat not to print the picture. What followed was a negotiation that resulted in a cropped picture and the article.
This issue is compounded by the fact that controversial pictures of other political figures were recently printed by the Tallahassee Democrat without alteration.
Why was Mayor Andrew Gillum – who is a Florida gubernatorial candidate – treated differently?
The publisher and the editor of the Tallahassee Democrat have not responded to TR's request for a comment on why the picture was cropped.

You missed the point…But, your questions are on the money…"That's it? What's the big deal?" Exactly, so why did the Gillum camp (and the candidate) go bonkers when the Democrat called and asked about the photo? Why was there, according to sources, a negotiated agreement to crop the photo in return for a softball interview of no substance with the picture buried in the paper? Why did the Democrat crop this photo and not others of others in elected office?
Bromance in the Big Apple. Has Andy told his wife?
Maybe he told her and she made Andy cut ties with his former lover.
Seriously the un-cropped photo looks like an LGBTQ endorsment…Andy shuuld use that un-cut I mean un-cropped photo to court that all important LGBTQ vote.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that" Jerry Seinfield.
Just some guys on a guys weekend without their wives or girlfriends. (well the one) that has either. Doing guys things that guy friends do 800 miles from home with their guy friends. long term guy friends at that.
I heard their was one with somebodies hand placed somewhere else that was a lot more interesting than this one.
You mean the one the Levine and Graham campaigns will be bidding for?
Seriously, this is about as unethical a move as I have seen in many decades. The Democrap has absolutely ZERO credibility left. Why sheeple is this town still pay Gannett to tell them lies is beyond all logic.
Whoever was involved in this capital crime of journalism should be fired immediately, and not allowed within 500 feet of a news-gathering entity.
They look like they are an actual "couple", on a date..etc..We know Adam is gay, but is Andrew also?
That photo is not altered, just cropped to take out unnecessary background. Seems like making much out of nothing.
I'm no fan of Gillum – or most Democrats in general – but yeah, seems like much ado about nothing. Unless the picture has something to do with questioning Gillum's sexuality. Even in that respect again, much ado about nothing. Dude is doing his thing.
So what if it was Rick Scott or Donald Trump in Gillum's place in that photo?
Would it still seem to be seems like much ado about nothing?
Just look into your mind and kind of try to get a feel for what you would think about that.
Would Rick and Donald get such a generous pass?
What do you think Jimmy Kimmel or the beloved Stormy Daniels would have to say about that?
Or (Good Time) Charlie Crist.
He's gotten passes from the media forever, no pun intended. The rumors about him and the sycophantic staffers in his gubernatorial campaign were ignored.
Delusional Andy's special "gay" friend reaped much benefits "taxpayers dollars" from that back- in -the -day special relationship! Its been a smoke screen from the very beginning! What's unbelievable, the Citizens of Tallahassee Florida voted and brought the fake narrative far too long until an aggressive pursuit of Justice exposed the behind the scenes "shenanigans" of BFF. FBI aware of that special relationship and the narrative hence the pic! What a masquerade portrayed in Tallahassee! Nefarious deeds being exposed and as an added value to the DEMOCRAT candidate "GWEN" a great PIC because as we all know a pic is worth a thousand words or less when Delusional Andy drop from RACE due to whatever the narrative his faltering camp to spin at SOROS and others expense! Who would vote for a candidate whose LEGS are spread wide opened with a FBI person of Interest! As a REPUBLICAN alpha male, the pic is quite disturbing! Excellent job TR!
what does the Democrat – a private business – owe Steve for justification? Not a damn thing. Vote with your wallet, dump that mullet wrapper, and quit whining. also one out of every three commenters on this site are classic closeted self-hating LGBT. Look deep into the spread … do it…yesss….let the shame flow through you.
Too many of you are missing the point…Why did Gillum, and supporters, get so upset over this photo that he demanded it be cropped? Additionally, why would Democrat call about the photo to begin with? It certainly got the attention of the Mayor and friends. And, "AD" there is no need to generate a thing. Gillum does it all by himself as do all the others covered in this paper. BTW: How do you explain away all of the stories supported by the PUBLIC RECORD and documents provided by the City? It's common to attack the messenger when you do not like the message.
When you lie and lie and lie sooner or later when something that could be very mundane is altered, whether a photo or a remark, the "gotcha" starts. Andy is a child playing big man on campus bankrolled by an old and evil leech so he has no idea what to do when other than whine, push people to the back of the room and lie, lie, lie!
Yes, honesty and transparency is the best policy but as we all know that is a policy that was thrown out of TOC a long time ago.
As an event photographer I do this all the time. Catching folks in unflattering poses is a hazard of the job. If I had taken that photo at the event I would have cropped it as well prior to sending it to the client. If someone had taken that pic of me I would have asked that it not be publicly published without cropping. Crotch shots are just rude, as are unintentional mooning (catching people leaning over on the periphery of a shot), folks with a mouth full of food, and on and on. While there's a whole lot to dislike about Gillum, not wanting that full shot published doesn't strike me as conspiracy-inducing.
Ken, while I do not disagree with your overall point, there is this little issue…it's a newspaper, not an event photograph. It did not crop other photos for other elected officials. Additionally, why the phone call about the photo to begin with? The photo had to provided with some information which prompted the call. Lastly, one story (with credible sources) says Gillum arrived at the newspaper for the "arranged" interview with a well known attorney. Why? He surely does not have an attorney present when he does other interviews…Then, there's the actions of the paper itself. While not surprising, it is an issue.
In event photography, the subjects are the clients.
In news photography, the readers/viewers, NOT the subjects, are the clients.
I urge you to go through the list and count how many ethical violations the Democrap made in this contemptible quid pro quo.
Adam's left hand on his right leg looks very awkward. Makes me wonder where it was right before this photo was taken. Or after.
If a politician will lie about their sexuality, there's no limit to what he/she will lie about.
The original published photo places no attribution to the photo. It's a "SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT" and indicates the photo was ". . . obtained by the Democrat . . ." Who took the photo and under what circumstances? A journalist? Some dude with a cell phone that was part of the party? How did they "obtain" it? Nothing would make me happier than to see Gillum wind up in the dustbin of political history. This story doesn't do it for me. In the vernacular of today, a nothingburger.
I'm with those who do not get the criticism of the Democrat for trimming a photo to make it less offensive to readers, without any modification that changed the message.
I'm thinking that the Democrat reporter decided he wasn't giving anything to Gilliam, except doing something Gilliam saw as a trade, by clipping the photo.
Example: You're representing someone who is suing a business for some monetary-worthy claim. During the civil trial, the business attempts to cut a deal with you that puts more money in your pocket.
Of course you wouldn't, because you'd be hearing from the Florida Bar in a heartbeat.
The only difference here is that there's no governing body over the local rag to cite and penalize them for ethical violations.
Kinda like what we have with that toothless city ethics board.
Who cares if he's gay or straight. I'm gay, and I have been with "Married" men. Get over it already. Just because a person is married, doesn't mean they are Heterosexual. It just means they are conforming to what society calls "normal". The ones that are the most homophobic are the ones that are hiding their true sexuality.
I don't care what you do in your bedroom. Can your run the state to the best of your ability for All the people of the state and not just the Rich ones that want something done for the Rich!
This is so stupid…….bring on the hate mail……. GO!!!

Q: Trouble displaying decimal points with CONVERT function in SQL Server I'm working on an assignment for class and I've been stuck for about two hours on this question:
"Project the invoice average total price, minimum total price, and maximum total price.
Money is always formatted to two decimal places."
So, I came up with this query:
SELECT
CONVERT(DECIMAL(8),AVG(INV.TotalPrice),2) AS 'Average Price',
CONVERT(DECIMAL(8),MIN(INV.TotalPrice),2) AS 'Miniumum Price',
CONVERT(DECIMAL(8),MAX(INV.TotalPrice),2) AS 'Maximum Price'
FROM INVOICE INV;

The mathematical functions are working just fine but I'm unable to get to numbers after a decimal point, and the decimal point itself, after the price. For example, on 'Average Price,' I get an output of "187" but I need "187.00."
I'm a little stuck. I've tried looking through the other questions on Stack Overflow but I haven't found one that addresses my specific concerns. Any help would be appreciated.

A: SELECT
CONVERT(DECIMAL(8,2),AVG(INV.TotalPrice)) AS 'Average Price',
CONVERT(DECIMAL(8,2),MIN(INV.TotalPrice)) AS 'Miniumum Price',
CONVERT(DECIMAL(8,2),MAX(INV.TotalPrice)) AS 'Maximum Price'
FROM INVOICE INV;

The DECIMAL numeric type needs the second argument (scale) to return two decimal places. It looks like you had it almost right, but the argument was passed in the wrong place.

A: The problem is that you are converting to a numerical type.  Numerical types represent a quantity, so you should think about them just like you would think about math.
187 == 187.0 == 187.00000 == 187.0000000000

All of those are exactly the same value, so in a numerical type, they will be represented the same way (usually).
Strings represent the characters that make up a value.  Strings can represent text like "This is a string" or "the quick brown dog" or "235136513509835".
In strings:
"187" != "187.00" != "187.0000"

Based on that, I would recommend converting to a string.  I don't have a Windows machine so I can't confirm, but try something like:
SELECT
CAST(CONVERT(DECIMAL(8,2),AVG(INV.TotalPrice)) AS varchar(8)) AS 'Average Price',
CAST(CONVERT(DECIMAL(8,2),MIN(INV.TotalPrice)) AS varchar(8)) AS 'Miniumum Price',
CAST(CONVERT(DECIMAL(8,2),MAX(INV.TotalPrice)) AS varchar(8)) AS 'Maximum Price'
FROM INVOICE INV;

AMMAN, JORDAN—Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday appointed a new prime minister, the royal palace said, naming a leading reformer as head of government in hopes of quelling the largest anti-government protests in recent years.
Cabinet member Omar Razzaz, a Harvard-educated former senior World Bank official, replaced Hani Mulki, who quit Monday amid widening protests against his government's austerity program, including a planned tax increase. Razzaz served as education minister in the outgoing Mulki government.
It's not clear how much of a reform mandate Razzaz will receive, since the king retains final say on all policy issues.
In the appointment letter addressed to Razzaz, the monarch called on the new government to conduct a comprehensive review of the tax system and produce a new tax bill, in co-operation with parliament, unions and other groups.
He also expressed empathy for ordinary Jordanians who have long complained that they are being asked to pay taxes for poor services. Critics say the current tax proposal unfairly targets the poor and the middle class.
It's not clear if the appointment of Razzaz will defuse the growing public anger over a long-standing political and economic system widely perceived as corrupt and exclusionary, with benefits reserved for a small elite.
Protest organizers said they would keep up the pressure, including a one-day strike set for Wednesday, until the proposal has been shelved. Critics say the tax increase unfairly targets the poor and the middle class.
The embattled Mulki, who had led the push for unpopular austerity measures, resigned following several days of mass protests across Jordan against the tax plan, the latest in a series of economic reforms sought by the International Monetary Fund to get the rising public debt under control.
In a sign of continued unrest, protests continued even after Mulki's resignation. Several thousand Jordanians marched toward the prime minister's office in the night from Monday to Tuesday.
Riot police scuffled with some of the marchers, trying to keep them away from the building, but the fifth street protest in as many days was largely peaceful.
Protesters said personnel changes at the top are irrelevant without fundamental reforms.
Razzaz holds postgraduate degrees in planning and law from Harvard. He taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2002 to 2006. From 2006-2010, he served as the World Bank's country manager in Lebanon, with emphasis on private sector development and infrastructure finance. Razzaz then returned to Jordan to head the Social Security Corporation, and from 2011-12, let the national team responsible for preparing a national employment strategy.


I Left My Communicator on Sigma Iotia!
The astroquarks welcome noted science blogger and author Dr. Ethan Siegel whose new book Treknology takes a look at the intersection of science and science fiction. While you may already have a tablet computer, warp drive is probably still a few years away. But Elon Musk may be sending missions to the moon in less time than it takes the U.S.S. Enterprise to complete its 5-year mission (so, less than 5 years, get it?). Tune in for the latest news on exploration of the solar system as well as a look back to some classic Trek-nology with Dr. Ethan Siegel on this episode of Walkabout the Galaxy.
SOFIA, Nobel and Kuiper - What's in a Name?
The astroquarks welcome WMFE space reporter Brendan Byrne who recounts his flight on the SOFIA airborne observatory. They hen vent about how the Nobel Prize committee has unaccountably once again passed them over. Here about this year's winners in physics, and a discussion of the history of the Kuiper Belt in this episode's space trivia.
OSIRIS-REx Gets the Gravity Assist and Scores!
How exactly (and why) does a spacecraft get a "gravitational assist" from a planet en route to another planet? Where does that energy come from? The Astroquarks take a look at gravity assists and the OSIRIS-REx mission to grab some bits of a Near-Earth Asteroid and bring them back to Earth. Plus, the field of gravitational wave astronomy expanded now with the detection of a new black hole collision by two separate gravitational wave observatories. It's a weighty episode.


If you're applying for a loan or seeking employment, you will probably need to provide employment verification information. At one time, lenders or potential employers could call a personnel office for the needed information. Now, employees can provide information such as job title, tenure and salary through an online employment verification tool.
The Employment Verification Tool replaced Worknumber for Everyone Feb. 11, 2011. EV is a self service My Biz tool that allows current Department of Defense employees to send employment and salary information to an external organization or person directly from the Defense Civilian Personnel Data Systems in a password-protected document via email.
Vanessa Midgett, director of the Civilian Personnel Advisory Center, said the change is an improvement that will save the government both time and money because it eliminates middle people and gives employees direct access to their personal information. The Self Service My Biz EV tool enables employees to securely and conveniently release, via email, employment and/or salary information to an external organization or person. The information consists of employment only or employment and salary information. Employees can preview information on the screen before they complete the transaction. The recipient receives a password protected attachment, and the employee receives the password. The employee must provide the password to the recipient.
"The Army is transforming and is affecting continual decreases in human resource authorizations which intensify the need to ensure that Human Resource Automation tools work properly and effectively," Midgett said. "In tandem with Army transformation, the goal of Redstone CPAC is to continually move towards being the best customer-focused and technologically advanced human resources activity in the Army. We lead by developing and instilling a culture of continuous improvement principles and concepts while employing state of the art technologies that are designed to enhance our customer service to Soldiers, families, retirees and DoD civilians and contractors."
Midgett said one of the things they are doing at the Civilian Human Resources Agency South Central Region and all over the Department of Defense is to find ways to save time and money. All of DoD has been going through a transformation toward automation enhancement.
"Employees now have direct access to their own work history and can provide it to employers. Having them validate their own personal information also frees up CPAC employees from doing employment verification," Midgett said. "All you need is the recipient's email address along with your work or personal email address to use as a confirmation and validation of your employment verification. There is no limit to the number of verifications an employee can submit."
Midgett said proper training is essential to avoid employees having problems with getting an employment verification done. It's left up to every government agency to ensure their employees are familiar with the EV tool. Her staff is still available to assist employees whenever needed.
The Employment Verification Tool is available to all Army civilian employees via links through the Civilian Personnel On-Line, Army Benefits Center for Civilians and the Civilian Human Resources Agency websites.
CPOL website: Access Benefits and Entitlements, which leads to the Employment Verification link, cpol.army.mil/library/benefits/2013-EV.html. This will direct the user to the Employment Verification information.
ABC-C website: Via the www.abc.abc.army.mil/link under Quick Links on the left-hand side of the page, users will find Employment Verification. Users can then access the link that will lead them to cpol.army.mil/library/benefits/2013-EV.html.
The direct link for employees to log into My Biz, via DCPDS Portal is: cmpo.dcpds.cpms.osd.mil/.
For more information about employment verification, contact your local CPAC. To submit Employment Verification comments and/or suggestions, log into My Biz, select the Self Service Interactive Customer Evaluation tool and the ICE My Biz link.

Ordinary Madness
In And Out Of Space
A Day At Home
Digitalization poses the question of identity in a fresh light. How does co-existing in different worlds, the 3D physical world and the "other" virtual world affect our sense of self? Where do our bodies begin and end? What new senses are available to a human who is such a concentrated blend of matter and media? In what space does 'the other' exist? In their physical presence or in the "nowhere" space?
Ordinary Madness toys with these questions. The idea originated as Colbert was having a drink with a friend. A butterfly landed on the window and her mesmerized two-year-old reached over, pressed her fingers against the glass, and tried to zoom into the creature to make it bigger. She was completely baffled by the simplicity of this gesture, which collapsed the physical 3D world and the digital 4D world in an in an instant.
To explore these questions she recreated surreal emoji masks. She felt the emoji was the perfect visual for our new, symbolized, digital self. Sweet and anodyne, it has crept into our lives imperceptibly, becoming as normal as a handshake without us even realizing it. Staging scenes of half emoji/ half human characters, using long and double exposures of circuit boards and AI, she was interested in exploring how our own physicality might be redefined as the fabric of our material and virtual worlds continue to blur. The images were shot on black and white film to reflect the immediate datedness of social media and technology.
" Colbert's hybrid figures –partly human partly digital– become ghosts from the future…. Her delicate images hovering between intimacy and distance; desire and repulsion; robotic carcasses and sexualized bodies; creating a dystopic vision of the future where the cyborg emoji –an exotic species– runs through deserted households, its needs crystallized in a state of perpetual surveillance. "
- Ilaria Puri Purini | Contemporary Arts Society
" A sense of solitude and disintegration emanate from the images but also humor and absurdity. Charlotte Colbert's tongue and cheek approach re-poses in a playful way the eternal question of the limitations of language. "
- Mila Askarova | Founder of Gazelli Art House

Q: ios filter table data alphabetically I'm working on a contacts app with 40k+ contacts.
In the list view, I'm showing the index titles A-Z based on the contact data.
Now I need to filter the contacts based on these titles.
My current approach is taking around 10-15 seconds to do the job, I'm wondering if there is an efficient way that could reduce this time.
 RLMResults *results = [RealmContact allObjects];
 NSMutableArray *tempData = [NSMutableArray array];
 for (NSString *sectionHeader in titleArr){
    if ([sectionHeader isEqualToString:@"#"]) {
         if (searchQuery.length>0) {
            RLMResults *contactResults = [results objectsWhere:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"(%@ == '' or %@ == null)",searchQuery,searchQuery]];
            [tempData addObject:[contactResults sortedResultsUsingDescriptors:@[[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKeyPath:searchQuery ascending:YES],[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKeyPath:@"firstName" ascending:YES],[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKeyPath:@"lastName" ascending:YES]]]];
        }

    }else{
        NSCharacterSet * set = [[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"] invertedSet];

        if ([sectionHeader rangeOfCharacterFromSet:set].location == NSNotFound) {

            if (sectionHeader.length>0 && searchQuery.length>0) {
                RLMResults *contactResults = [results objectsWhere:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ BEGINSWITH[c] '%@'",searchQuery,sectionHeader]];
                [tempData addObject:[contactResults sortedResultsUsingDescriptors:@[[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKeyPath:searchQuery ascending:YES],[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKeyPath:@"firstName" ascending:YES],[RLMSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKeyPath:@"lastName" ascending:YES]]]];
            }
        }

    }
}

    _dataSource = [tempData copy];

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        [self.tableView reloadData];
    });

the titleArr is sorted array of alphabets #,A,B,C...Z
Where '#' section contains the contacts that has either first name or last name nil.
'A' section contains the contacts that has the first name start with letter 'A'.

NOTES:
cert-manager has been deployed successfully!

In order to begin issuing certificates, you will need to set up a ClusterIssuer
or Issuer resource (for example, by creating a 'letsencrypt-staging' issuer).

More information on the different types of issuers and how to configure them
can be found in our documentation:

https://docs.cert-manager.io/en/latest/reference/issuers.html

For information on how to configure cert-manager to automatically provision
Certificates for Ingress resources, take a look at the `ingress-shim`
documentation:

https://docs.cert-manager.io/en/latest/reference/ingress-shim.html

Apply modified staging-issuer.yaml and production-issuer.yaml.
$ kubectl apply -f staging-issuer.yaml
issuer.certmanager.k8s.io/letsencrypt-staging created
$ kubectl apply -f production-issuer.yaml
issuer.certmanager.k8s.io/letsencrypt-prod created

Edit my ingress.yaml and apply it with
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
    certmanager.k8s.io/issuer: "letsencrypt-staging"
    certmanager.k8s.io/acme-challenge-type: http01

I found the certificate, but when I describe it Events is none!

Then I check secret. The docs says

Once complete, cert-manager will have created a secret with the details of the certificate based on the secret used in the ingress resource. You can use the describe command as well to see some details:

Although I don't have ca.crt. I decided to moved on.

A: in ingress you are using issuer as letsencrypt-staging change it to production and also change tls-secrets it will work
Production url for let's encrypt issuer : https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
in the issuer you have used the staging url of let's encypt staging server change it to production URL and again try to get tls.cert and key it will run with https://
staging certificate some time not work with https and browser give error it is for testing purpose.
cert-manager and nginx ingress and other things are looking perfect as it should have to be.

Q: How to implement Front-Controller design pattern in AspNet Core? Our Aspnet Core 2.2 app needs to implement the front-controller design pattern to select an arbitrary controller based on the app's internal logic. We are not as concerned with selecting an action because we intend to be as RESTful as possible with GET, POST, DELETE, etc. Here is an example of what we want to do:

Given a request to http://example.com/DomainObjectX/, one customer's business rules might use the DomainObjectXController, but another customer's business rule might provide CustomDomainObjectXController. We do not want to redirect the request but simply use a different controller to handle it the same URL.

Can custom middleware choose an arbitrary controller? I cannot find any examples where middleware does all the routing or passes the request along to the default route. My google-fu does not get me there.
Or should we use the application/controller model to select an a controller based on our app's business rules? Can someone point to an example that does that?
Or should we implement our own MatcherPolicy? I have not seen any examples that do this.
Any and others would probably work, but I'm not sure how/when to specify the arbitrary controller. So many things to learn ...

History of rye bread – Central Asia
Home » History of rye bread – Central Asia
A field of rye growing
Like barley and wheat, rye's a kind of grass that is a good source of carbohydrates for people. Rye is different from the other grains mainly in that it will grow much further north, in colder climates, and in poorer soils. So people who lived further north, in Russia and Poland and northern Germany, ate a lot of rye bread. Rye bread is more chewy than wheat or barley bread, and has a stronger taste.
People probably first ate rye bread by gathering wild rye, which grew around the Black Sea and between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, in the homeland of the Indo-Europeans. Because rye came from Central Asia, people often ate it with other Central Asian flavorings like coriander or anise, but especially with caraway seeds. People were farming rye by around 7000 BC, in the Stone Age, but because the Indo-Europeans were mostly cattle herders rather than farmers, they didn't farm rye that much at first. Pliny the Elder said people would only eat rye if they were starving.
But rye became a lot more common in Late Antiquity, when people started to do more farming in the Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Poland, Austria, and Germany. These places are too cold for wheat and barley to grow well, and rye does better. You can plant it in the late fall, and it will live under the snow and grow tall in the spring, so you harvest rye in late June.
Only a little later, around 500 AD, the Saxons brought their rye seeds to Britain, and the Franks brought rye to France. The Vikings brought rye as far west as Iceland and Greenland. People in northern France and England began for the first time to eat a lot of rye bread. They didn't think much of it – they called rye bread "black bread" and complained about having to eat it instead of "white bread" made from refined wheat flour. Rich people ate wheat bread. But poor people all across northern Europe ate rye bread, because it was cheaper than wheat bread, and you could keep it a long time – for months – before it got moldy.
When the Little Ice Age hit Europe about 1300 AD, it got colder and wetter, and people began to eat more and more rye bread – "black bread" – even though they still hated it. But as Europeans got richer from colonizing other countries, even poor people began to insist on eating wheat bread. In England, most people switched to wheat bread in the 1600s, along with the revolution of Oliver Cromwell. In France, the French Revolution in the late 1700s brought people a new sense of their equality – which they expressed by demanding wheat bread.
Further east, people ate rye bread longer, but by the late 1800s they, too, were beginning to demand wheat bread, as we see in Heidi, written in 1881. In North America, both Natives and European settlers (many of them from Germany) were eating black bread made by mixing rye and cornmeal, but they didn't like it much, and by 1900 they were eating wheat bread too. But in Russia and in Scandinavia, people still eat a lot of rye bread even today.

Theater: Get the kinks out
By Ho Yi / Staff Reporter
When BDSM Company (皮繩愉虐邦) staged its first public bondage/domination and sadomasochism (BDSM) show in June, two Next Magazine (壹週刊) journalists wrote a report on it using sensational language and unauthorized photographs, questioning whether the performance was "a crime against public decency" (妨害風化).
As part of the Taipei Fringe Festival (台北藝穗節), the same troupe will debut a new theatrical performance titled You Can Be the Kinky Star! (你就是SM片最佳男女主角!) about a group of BDSM enthusiasts auditioning for a BDSM movie. After the NT$500 show, audience members can pay an additional NT$500 to gain hands-on experience with the troupe. Experts will assist participants in arranging and engaging in BDSM performances, and a professional photographer will be on-hand to record it all. The activity is limited to those who have seen the performance.
Members of the company stress that while their performances are theatrical, they are not only about entertainment.
Next Magazine questioned whether BDSM Company's performance at the Comedy Club in June was "a crime against public decency."

"We share similarities with theater people in the sense that we are more aware of the limitations our society and culture impose on our bodies," said Song Jia-lun (宋佳倫), one of the group's founders. "Theater is a medium, making BDSM more accessible to the general public ... Perhaps through performances, audiences will be more conscious of what limits and represses their bodies and try to break free. We would be happy if audiences stopped seeing [BDSM practitioners] as perverts and pick up an easy trick or two, like tying hands or blindfolding, and tried them at home."
Founded in 2004 by a group of like-minded people who met on Huakuei Sex (花魁藝色館), a bulletin board which supports the rights of sexual minorities and hosts related discussions, BDSM Company was launched as an activist group for Taiwan's BDSM community. The group is an active participant in the annual Taiwan Pride Parade. Members have given lectures and held discussions at colleges across the country, building a Chinese-language archive of BDSM-related educational materials on the company's Web site (www.bdsm.com.tw). Some members, including Song, take a more political approach and work at the Green Party Taiwan (綠黨), which supports sexual diversity.
However, the group's liberal stand on gender roles in erotic practices sometimes conflicts with BDSM enthusiasts who hold more conservative views, Song says.
"What we do now is focus on changing the negative views outsiders hold on BDSM rather than serving insiders ... Our imagination and understanding of BDSM can be vastly different from many other practitioners,'" she said.
The group holds a talk every month with the aim of raising awareness of BDSM. Anyone is welcome to share their ideas or simply chat and meet people.
"There is no topic or theme," said Song, who is better known as Shihyeh Queen (十夜女王) in BDSM circles. "What happens, happens. Maybe people will show up with ropes and start giving a bondage lesson. Who knows?"
The monthly gathering takes place every second Saturday of the month at G Straight Cafe (直走咖啡) at 18, Ln 27, Dingzhou Rd, Sec 3, Taipei City (台北市汀州路三段27巷18號). Visit the group's Web site for updates.
BDSM Company's productions on Sunday at Nanhai Gallery (南海藝廊) and on Sept. 9 and Sept. 10 at the Comedy Club sold out two weeks ago. If you don't have tickets, but still want to learn about BDSM, bondage artist Shima Malphas from Japan will perform late tonight and tomorrow ("definitely after 11:30pm," organizers say) at Show House (秀屋) at 161 Daguan Rd, Greater Taichung (台中市大觀路161號). For more information, call (04) 2251-5888 or visit www.show-house.com.tw.
Notes from Central Taiwan: The take of things to come
Earlier this month, Vice President William Lai (賴清德) was elected unopposed to the chairmanship of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). As the chair, Lai is now the presumptive presidential candidate for next year's election. Even as he became chairman, the global media was sending out signals about the coming fight we face to redefine Lai. As he accepted his new role, he made a statement on independence. He said that he "pragmatically considers Taiwan as already a sovereign, independent country, therefore there is no need for a separate declaration of Taiwanese independence." This calm statement, DPP boilerplate now for over

Chinese count cost of Xi's snap decision to let COVID rip
When Sunny thinks back to March last year, she laughs ruefully at the ordeal. The 19-year-old Shanghai student spent that month locked in her dormitory, unable to shop for essentials or wash clothes, even banned from showering for two weeks over COVID fears. In April, the entire city locked down. It was the beginning of the chaos of 2022, as local Chinese authorities desperately tried to follow President Xi Jinping's (習近平) zero-COVID decree while facing the most transmissible strain of the virus yet: Omicron. "Everyone was panicking, no one was ready," she tells the Observer. By the end of the year, zero-COVID

Stop shaming late sleepers
It's January, the month of new year's resolutions and other doomed efforts at self-improvement. And what better way to make more of one's life than rising earlier to seize the day? At least that's what the voice in my head says as I hit the snooze alarm for the 10th time at 9:30am. Then it's time to get up, racked with guilt at my laziness, as if sleeping in were some kind of ethical lapse. It's not, of course. People's sleep/wake cycles are inherently varied, and if you, too, are a late to bed, late to rise person, you're simply a night

What to expect during the green comet's encounter with Earth
A green-hued comet that has been lurking in the night sky for months is expected to be the most visible to stargazers this week as it gradually passes Earth for the first time in about 50,000 years. The cosmic visitor will swing by our planet at a distance of about 42.5 million kilometers. Here is an explanation of comets in general and this one in particular. WHAT IS A COMET? Nicknamed "dirty snowballs" by astronomers, comets are balls of ice, dust and rocks that typically hail from the ring of icy material called the Oort cloud at our solar system's outer edge. One known

Per Fokstad (3 September 1890 – 10 December 1973) was a teacher, politician, and intellectual of Sami origin from Norway, and a pioneer in the fight for the use of the Sami languages in Norwegian schools.

Fokstad was born in Deatnu-Tana, Finnmark. His parents were yard workers in Bonakas in Tana. The language used in the family's household was Sami, and Per, who was the youngest of five, didn't know Norwegian when he began school. He started school as a 19-year-old at Tromsø's teacher college, and took his examination there in 1912. The same fall, he began as a teacher at Norskholmen skole in his home municipality of Tana. In the following ten years, he would take a leave of absence for further studies, three of the times in countries other than Norway.

For the 1915-1916 school year, he studied at Askov Folk High School in Denmark. In the fall of 1917, he studied the violin in Oslo. From 1919 to 1920, he studied at Woodbrooke College in Birmingham, England. The year after, he was at the Institut du pantheon de France in Paris, where he first discovered Henri Bergsons philosophy.

Even in his first published article in 1917, he was fighting for Sami language training in schools. At a conference in 1919 he was the architect behind a resolution that required:

 That the Sami language should be studied for the first three school years.
 That all teaching about Sami religion should be done in the Sami language.
 Introducing Norwegian as a foreign language.

He followed up the idea with an article in 1923, and with a detailed report on The parliamentarian school commission (1923–1926). In 1937, together with headmaster M. Bremer, a «cultural institute for the Sami».

Voted by Rajya Sabha, Telangana Bill goes to President for final approval
The anti-Telangana MPs disrupted the Prime Minister's speech and shredded copies of the Bill, throwing them at him. However, the Bill was passed with the support of the BJP. There are special schemes for backward Rayalaseema and north coastal Andhra in the six-point development package proposed by the Prime Minister. There will also be a special category status for Seemandhra for 5 years. The Bill was earlier passed by the Lower House on Tuesday amidst uproar.
New Delhi: Amidst protests by members from Andhra region, Trinamool Congress and Shiv Sena, the contentious Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, 2014 was passed by the Rajya Sabha on Thursday evening with the support of the BJP. When Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien put the Bill to vote, the Left members staged a walkout. The UPA had yielded to the demands of the BJP for certain sops to the losing successor State of Seemandhra.
The Bill was passed after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, intervening during the discussion, announced a string of schemes as compensation for the Andhra region as it stands to lose heavily and Telangana inherits most infrastructures and the cash-rich Hyderabad Capital city.
The anti-Telangana MPs disrupted the Prime Minister's speech and shredded copies of the Bill, throwing them at him.
There are special schemes for backward Rayalaseema and north coastal Andhra in the six-point development package.
There will be a special category status for Seemandhra for 5 years, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said.
Opposition leader Arun Jaitley said the BJP had always been in support of a separate Telangana but accused the UPA of messing up the issue. CPM's Sitaram Yechury said the division "will cost us dearly", wanted to send Bill back to the Lok Sabha. BJP leader Prakash Javadekar said Telangana is a case of demerger but the Congress messed it up. "Instead of dividing the State, you divided the people," he said. BSP leader Mayawati wanted division of UP and Maharashtra also. The Bill was moved by the Home Minister.
Earlier, the Rajya Sabha Chair had called an all-party meet to ensure smooth proceedings in the House. The Chairman had also called the marshals inside the House to tackle any untoward incidents involving the protestors.
The 60-year old demand for the State of Telangana has been fulfilled. The Bill will again be sent to the President for final seal of approval.
The Bill could not be passed in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday due to pandemonium created mostly by Congress MPs. Overnight, a deal was struck between the UPA and the BJP to secure sufficient support for the passage in the face opposition from various quarters. The Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

This project is a drill cuttings processing facility that processes the waste from drilling oil wells. The process classifies and grinds cuttings into a slurry that can be re-injected back into non-productive oil wells for disposal. The facility operates as one unit when assembled on site on the North Slope but it was designed to be broken down into 13 truck sized modules for transport from the shop to the site.
Our customer specified the flow diagram and selected the equipment (grinding mills, shakers, pumps, etc.). Our responsibility was to design the module stack and incorporate the equipment into the facility to operate per the flow diagram. We also provided detailed shop drawings for the entire facility including modules, piping stairs, walkways, ladders and rails.
The facility is currently in operation on the North Slope.

PNB May Post Nation's Biggest Bank Profit In Q2
July 14, 2018 August 10, 2018 Online Trading India 1 Comment
The Indian bank that saw its income wiped out by an uncommon misrepresentation expects to report the country's greatest bank benefit by offering a few resources, as per individuals acquainted with the issue. Punjab National Bank is focusing on net pay of in excess of 50 billion rupees ($730 million) for the three months through Sept. 30, helped by asset sales and bad-loan recoveries, the people said. A great part of the record profit will originate from an arranged offer of PNB's stake in its lodging fund unit, they included, requesting that not be recognized as the data is private.The 124-year-old PNB is endeavoring to recapture its money related wellbeing and believability following the revealing of a $2 billion fraud this year. The scam made it slip one spot to wind up India's third-biggest state-run bank by resources and investigators, including those at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., cut benefit gauges for the loan specialist.
PNB had announced India's greatest ever bank loss of 134.2 billion rupees in the quarter finished March 31 as it needed to represent the fraud. It has just given to half of the about 144 billion rupees it owes different banks to make useful for the scam, and said the rest will be paid more than seventy five percent — around 24 billion rupees each quarter if spread similarly.
PNB will most likely report lost 24 billion rupees for the three months finished June 30, as per the normal of 11 estimates in a Bloomberg overview. This narrowing is relied upon to be driven by a drop in bad loans following the offer of bankrupt Bhushan Steel.
For the present quarter, the loan specialist expects benefit will be additionally supported by in excess of 80 billion rupees it assessments to get by offering alleged non-center resources, the general population said. This incorporates its stake in PNB Housing Finance Ltd., they included. On the off chance that PNB reports net salary of 50 billion rupees, it would be the greatest quarterly benefit in India's saving money part.
PNB and Carlyle Group want to mutually offer no less than 51 percent of PNB Housing Finance, the bank told the stock trade on Wednesday, without sharing more points of interest. Together, these two speculators hold in excess of 60 percent of PNB Housing Finance, information accumulated by Bloomberg show, and PNB's approximately 33 percent holding is worth around 68 billion rupees in view of Friday's offer cost.
"It is sensible to accept that the stake deal in PNB Housing could occur around the prevailing market prices," said Gaurang Shah, chief investment strategist at Geojit Financial Services Ltd. in Mumbai. "In any case, this erratic pick up would not change the standpoint for Punjab National Bank much."
The New Delhi-based bank additionally plans to cut its hazard weighted resources by in excess of 200 billion rupees and split its net bad-loan ratio from 11.2 percent throughout the year through March 2019, the people said.

Scottish digital connectivity firm joins £5bn UK government procurement framework
A Scottish digital connectivity supplier has joined a new £5bn UK government telecoms and network procurement framework.
Edinburgh-headquartered Commsworld is celebrating a successful bid to be listed on two Network Services 2 (NS2) "lots", representing Wide Area Networks and Local Area Networks, with three lots pending.
It means the firm can benefit from being on a streamlined procurement process for the entirety of the UK public sector, associated bodies and agencies, the voluntary sector and charities.
While it is impossible to ascertain a value to the business, its listings on the more specialised G-Cloud frameworks have brought in more than £1.2million in revenue – and the firm believes NS2 could comfortably deliver 10 times that return.
Andy Arkle, Commercial Director with the Edinburgh-headquartered firm, said: "This is yet another milestone moment in the journey of Commsworld, consolidating our position as a genuinely UK-wide operator.
"We are thrilled to have our services represented across NS2. This gives us the platform to grow and deliver what we do best regardless of the location in the UK."
As part of the vetting process, Commsworld achieved a maximum score of 100% across all quality management elements of the vetting process, highlighting the firm's aptitude, quality and customer support.
The news comes while the firm is positioning itself to replicate its transformative work across Scotland south of the border – with recent announcements including the opening of a prime London office at Eccleston Square, as well as the creation of the UK's largest privately-owned and operated optical core fibre network.
Launched in 1994, Commsworld delivered expert telephony services, which it continues to do to this day, moving into networking and connectivity with the acquisition of Fluency in 2014. This helped the firm build a strong reputation within Scotland's private sector.
However, the importance of the public sector to the firm is underlined by its more recent involvement in some of the UK's largest contracts (City of Edinburgh Council and Glasgow City Council ICT contracts), which have helped deliver the exponential growth that last year delivered 41% year on year revenue increase, breaking £20million for the first time.
NS2 replaces NS1, coming into effect from Monday 12 August. Managed by Crown Commercial Services, the new framework is larger and more comprehensive than its predecessor.
Andy added: "We knew this was an ambitious project. To receive full marks across all the key background criteria just showcases that, as far as we have come as a business, we haven't lost sight of the qualities that set us apart.
"We are now in a select group of providers in the UK that can sell to the public sector – and these results prove that we can deliver."
Commsworld is an Edinburgh-headquartered firm, with offices in Glasgow and Aberdeen and more than 100 staff operating across public and private sector contracts.
