Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation: The Houk/Cai Synthesis of Artemisinin
Following the Wenkert approach, Jun Huang and Zhen Yang of Peking University prepared the alkylated aldehyde 2 by conversion of the aldehyde 1 to the silyl enol ether, followed by cyclopropanation and hydrolysis (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, 143, 18287. ). Mary P. Watson of the University of Delaware showed that the pyridinium salt prepared by coupling the amine 3 with the commercial pyrilium salt 4 could be coupled with Zn(CN)2 to give the nitrile 5 (Org. Lett. 2021, 23, 6242. ). Paolo Melchiorre of ICIQ used photoactivation to add the amino acid-derived acyloxyphthalimide 6 in a conjugate sense to acrylonitrile 7, leading to the nitrile 8 (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, 143, 12304. ). Chao-Jun Li of McGill University assembled the ester 11 by Cu-mediated conjugate addition of the hydrazone of the aldehyde 9 to ethyl acrylate 10 (J. Org. Chem. 2021, 86, 13111. ).
Wangqing Kong of Wuhan University observed high regio- and stereoselectivity in the preparation of the allylic alcohol 13 by the addition of methanol to the propargyl ether 12 (Chem. Sci. 2021, 12, 9372. ). Yinlong Guo and Zheng Huang of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry also achieved high geometric control in the isomerization of the alkenyl borate 12 to the trisubstituted alkene 13 (ACS Catal. 2021, 11, 10138. ). Gui-Juan Cheng of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Xianjie Fang of Shanghai Jiao Tong University coupled the allylic alcohol 16 with acetone cyanohydrin 17 to give the α-branched nitrile 18 (ACS Catal. 2021, 11, 13880. ). Xia Zhang and Dawen Niu of Sichuan University found that coupling of the geometric mixture of enol ethers 19 with the organozinc 20 led to the enol ether 21 with high geometric control (Chem. Commun. 2012, 57, 12273. ).
Xingjie Zhang and Guisheng Zhang of Henan Normal University prepared the alkyne 24 by coupling the pyridinium salt derived from the amine 22 with the alkyne 23 (Nature Commun. 2021, 12, 4904. ). Yin Wei and Min Shi, also of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, assembled the alkyne 27 by adding the acyloxyphthalimide 25 to the enone 26 (Chem. Sci. 2021, 12, 9088. ).
Zhenyang Lin of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Guosheng Liu of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry prepared the trisubstituted allene 29 in high ee by adding trimethylsilyl cyanide to the alkyne 28 (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, 143, 14451. ). Rubén Sánchez-Obregón of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México assembled the tetrasubstituted allene 32 by adding the alkyne 30 to ethyl cinnamate 31 (Tetrahedron Lett. 2021, 153425. ).
Artemisinin (35) is the key active component of current anti-malarials. In the course of a synthesis of 35, K. N. Houk of UCLA and Quan Cai of Fudan University used the Barluenga protocol to convert the acid 33 into the allylic alcohol 34 (Nature Catal. 2021, 4, 892. ).

Jack & Diane is a 2012 American romantic horror film written and directed by Bradley Rust Gray and starring Riley Keough and Juno Temple.

Plot
Diane is an English girl in her late teens who's visiting with her aunt in New York and suffers from chronic nosebleeds. She checks herself in a mirror and transforms into a werewolf-like monster before falling unconscious. Earlier, she walks in the streets trying to borrow a cellphone in order to call her twin sister Karen. Having no luck, she enters a clothing store and asks to use a phone. There, she meets a girl of her age, Jack, who presents as butch and is instantly smitten by Diane. Diane's nose starts bleeding again and Jack helps her. Jack then takes Diane to a night club. Diane seems nauseated, and she goes to the restroom. Once she feels better, she meets up with Jack and the girls passionately kiss.

By morning, the girls part ways and Jack is hit by a car, though not badly harmed. At her aunt's home, Diane is reprimanded by Aunt Linda, who tells her she is grounded. Both of the girls feel misunderstood by their respective parent figures. Diane visits Jack in her home. Jack confides in Diane about a cassette tape with the song "Only You" that she kept as memento of her late brother. Not having access to a personal phone, Diane asks her sister Karen to call Jack pretending to be Diane. When Jack tries to have phone sex with her, Karen reveals she's not really Diane. The next day, Jack visits Diane at her aunt's and the girls get into an argument when Linda intentionally tells Jack about Diane soon leaving to attend fashion school in Paris, along with her sister. This and the fake phone call anger Jack, who leaves abruptly.

With Jack not wanting to be with her anymore, Diane suffers from desolation. Meanwhile, Jack hangs out with a colleague, Tara. They have an intimate moment but Jack rebuffs her shortly thereafter. The next day, Diane hangs out in the store where Jack works with one of Jack's friends, Chris, to Jack's annoyance. Jack asks Diane to leave, but Diane challenges her to a childish game. Jack wins so Diane is forced to go. Jack gets back to Chris, who found a video of Diane's sister getting raped on an adult website. Despite their falling out, Jack seeks Diane to tell her about the video. After Diane talks to Karen on the phone, she and Jack reconcile. Diane wants to go back home to be with Karen, but Karen refuses. Diane says she always felt like the stronger sister.

Over the next few days, Jack and Diane spend a lot of time together. One night, Diane has a dream of transforming into a monster and devouring Jack's heart. She wakes up only to find Jack at her side with blood gushing out of her nose. As the days narrow down before Diane has to leave for school, the bond between the two girls is threatened by the upcoming separation. While they're in a locker room to retrieve Diane's suitcases, the lights suddenly go off. In the dark, Diane is startled by the monster she had previously dreamed of transforming into. Jack goes to see Diane on her last day in New York and the two girls console each other, finally letting go of their fears.

After a few weeks, Diane receives a cassette player with the tape made by Jack's brother. She turns the song on and listens to it profoundly.

← Review: The Princess Bride by William Goldman, and why you should read it. Immediately.
Die for Me is the first novel in the Revenants trilogy by Amy Plum. I'm going to a book signing for Ms. Plum next week (WHEEE!) and really wanted to have read her book before meeting her in person. Unfortunately, it's not looking like I'll be able to squeeze in book 2, Until I Die, before the event, but at least I now know who the characters are and what the basic story is.
Die for Me is the story of Kate Mercier, recent orphan and new Paris resident. She and her sister, Georgia, moved to Paris following the death of their parents in a tragic car accident. Kate hasn't been dealing with the loss well, and spends her days secluded in her bedroom in their grandparents' house, reading books and wallowing in depression.
Eventually, her sister convinces her to venture out of the house and experience the beauty of the city. Kate begrudgingly takes her up on her advice, and winds up meeting a tall, dark and handsome boy named Vincent. Vincent and Kate begin a tentative courtship, but almost immediately, Kate realizes that there's more to Vincent than meets the eye.
Shocked, Kate learns that Vincent is in fact a Revenant: an immortal being who feels the irresistible compulsion to sacrifice his life saving humans. He lives with a group of fellow Revenants in a giant Parisian mansion, and the group of them wander the city, looking for people to save. When they trade their own life for a human's, they take 3 days to mend, then come back to life, good as new.
But no sooner has Kate absorbed the information that her boyfriend is an immortal kinda-zombie, than a darker truth is revealed: Vincent and his kindred are not the only Revenants. There are others. Except that they don't feel a compulsion to save human lives; they feel the compulsion to end them.
I have mixed feelings on this one. First, the plot point comparisons to Twilight are abundant and fairly obvious. I'm not going to go into the minutia in detail, because others have already done so (see examples here and here). Personally, I don't actually mind if one book is really reminiscent of another, as long as it has its own spin on the subject matter.
Yes, this book has many similarities to Twilight, as they are both teen paranormal romances between a human and an immortal. But Revenants ≠ Vampires, Kate ≠ Bella, and Vincent ≠ Edward. So I don't really mind that the story bears some resemblance to Twilight. I don't begrudge Ms. Plum her inspiration (if indeed Twilight was her inspiration — I haven't asked her, so I don't know), because I honestly think genuine new ideas are a dying breed. If we demanded all books were utterly unique, there wouldn't be much to read.
That said, while I don't mind that Die for Me resembled Twilight, I also can't help but compare the two in terms of what I liked and didn't like.
I liked Kate. She seemed a relatively level-headed teen who tried to think through the bizarre situation she was in. Yes, she had her share of caution-to-the-wind "but I'm just so in love" moments, but mostly she tried to actually use her brain and make logical choices. She tried not to let her relationship with Vincent define her (although ultimately, it pretty much did), and didn't turn into a puddle of goo every time he looked at her.
I also loved the Parisian setting. I've got to be honest: I've been to Paris, and I wasn't all that thrilled with it. But I would love to go to the Paris that's described in this book. Ms. Plum beautifully paints a picture of Parisian culture and nightlife that's vivid and lush.
I enjoyed the Revenants mythology. It was a unique and intriguing (not to mention far less gross) take on the traditional zombie/vampire theme. I liked that most of the time, they appeared utterly human and didn't have any defining [cough*sparkly*cough] characteristics. That made it a lot more believable that they were just walking around in public, mingling with the humans. And the "rules" of their existence made sense within the context of the story, which is always a must for me to enjoy a paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi anything.
And overall, I liked Ms. Plum's writing style. She chose her words well and her writing style had a nice flow to it.
Oh, and the cover art? Die for Me wins, no contest. So pretty.
I've got to admit: while I would never put Twilight up there as the greatest romantic literature ever (Jane Austen would roll over in her grave), Stephenie Meyer had a knack for conveying the belly-fluttery feeling of first infatuation (I'm not going to call it love. I'm not.) She was really good at putting those swoony feelings into words. And Amy Plum also does a good job, just not as good.
Stephenie Meyer also had an advantage with "the hook." The thing that kept you needing to go to the next chapter, because you couldn't just stop there. It's why I tore through all 4 books of the Twilight saga in just a couple days, the same amount of time it took me to read Die for Me. I was interested, but the sense of urgency just wasn't there.
I know that people keep saying that Kate and Vincent have a healthier relationship than Edward and Bella…but I'm just not seeing it. Both girls are kind of consumed. Both relationships go from just-met to can't-live-without-you in a freakishly short period of time. Both guys are just a wee bit stalkerish. And if the title of the book is any indication, I'm kind of guessing that at some point, both girls are ultimately going to sacrifice their lives so they can stay with their stud.
Yeah, Kate is less dramatic than Bella. I don't see cliff jumping in her immediate future. And if Vincent left her, she'd probably be okay. Eventually. But it doesn't change the fact that Kate basically clings to Vincent as the most/only important thing in her life.
It's out in full force in Die for Me. I have to admit, I'm one of those people that's bothered by it, but also accepts it as a necessary evil in YA. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that Kate and Vincent's relationship is realistic — I know that instant attraction takes place in real life, but the can't-live-without-you super-devotion that develops in an extremely short period of time…I'm not convinced that it's entirely realistic (although author Amy Plum thinks it is, which explains why it's there).
First of all, I saw the bad guy coming from a mile away. It seemed like the reveal of the bad guy was supposed to be somewhat shocking, but there was some extremely heavy foreshadowing that made it…not.
On the one hand, I get that it's probably not as much fun to write/read about a "normal" relationship where they have to deal with the situations they're in with whatever skills they already possessed (or didn't possess). But on the other hand, why is this relationship so much stronger than other human-revenant relationships? They don't know each other all that well, haven't known each other all that long, and I don't buy that their instant chemistry trumps another couple's decades of intimacy.
I still found the end of the book exciting and mostly satisfying. I just kind of wish the way it got there didn't feel a bit contrived.
I liked Die for Me. I just didn't love it. And since it is bound to be directly compared to Twilight (it's even being marketed as "the next Twilight" and fans are told "if you liked Twilight, you'll love Die for Me"), I can't help but try to think about which one I enjoyed reading more.
And honestly, even though I will be the first to admit that Die for Me is technically superior and has far fewer frustrating elements…I have to give the edge to Twilight. It had that pull, that sense of urgency that kept me reading late into the night even though I had a newborn baby who I just knew was going to wake up at 4 a.m. I didn't feel that with Die for Me. It was just…good.
I still am interested in reading the sequel, Until I Die. Just because book 1 resembled Twilight doesn't mean the entire series will, and I think I would probably enjoy it more if my mind wasn't constantly drawing comparisons between the two. And again, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Die for Me. It just didn't sweep me up and enthrall me like I wanted it to.

I love this cover! This is on my to-read list. It does seem the paranormal and urban fantasy genres are running thin on ideas. So many have the same elements. It's hard to review a book when it feels so similar to another. That happened to me when I read Delirium so close to Matched. I still haven't written my review for Delirium because I can't take stop making comparisons.
And that's a really good point. Did Die for Me fall a little short for me simply because I read Twilight first? It's very possible. I personally loved Delirium and haven't read Matched yet, and when I do, I'll probably have the opposite problem since I read them in reverse order. So a lot of how you feel about a book is very possibly wrapped up in what other books you've read, and in what order. And that's something the author has absolutely zero control over.
I thought I posted earlier but I guess it didn't take. I agree with you about Twilight having a hook. It really gets you!

Okay, I don't personally eat red meat or pork, but the rest of my family enjoys it, so this is a recipe I use for my merry band of pulled pork lovers. I usually like to cook enough to be able to put some aside for freezing because that gives me a dinner-cooking pass to redeem at whim.
Season with salt, pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon dried minced onions, then add root beer to slow cooker and cover and lock down the lid.
After the meat is cooked, drain out all of the root beer and other liquid, and with a fork in each hand, pull the meat apart. Keep pulling and pulling until all the meat is shredded. Don't forget to remove the bone when you find it.
Now you'll need to decide how you're going to serve this. It's great for sandwiches, on a bun or Hawaiian roll (Yum! I love those!), or just as a clump of meat next to some red garlic mashed potatoes.
If you don't already have this, go ahead and treat yourself! You'll love it!

Next Wave #873: Swimming Girls
Swimming Girls (Credit: Lauren McDermott)
ClashMusic
ClashMusic /
"Yeah it's really important. I feel like that's one of the most important things," Vanessa contemplates as she sits still while having her make-up done. Clash can see her pretty side profile as her eyes are closed shut, showing off her sharp bone structure. Somehow blending brightness, colour, and darkness all with an 80/90s twist, the visuals having equal importance as the music for glistening dream-pop group Swimming Girls.
Finding common ground with a group fixation on the warmth and nostalgic pop culture, the bands inspirations all arise from similar sources. The timeless work of David Lynch is a point of significant interest. "We're really inspired by David Lynch and lot of directors with that darker vibes," Roo (synths) explains with a smile.
All cuddled up like penguins, the three of us squash together onto a red leather sofa. With the atmosphere light and easy, we proceed with ease and laughter. Shifting to a more personal note, we touch on the recent release of another single 'Beneath You'."So it's kind of about not knowing where you stand with someone. It's based off anxiety and relationships, basically not knowing if you're going for it and not knowing what the other person is thinking," Roo tells me. "The lyric asking 'Am I beneath you?' is questioning if you're on the same level as the other person." Matched with the Stranger Things-esque video, their soaring melodies and captivating riffs carries you into blissful escapism.
Transporting you to the darker parts of your mind, lyrically, the band go pretty deep and meaningful, taking a fun and tuneful approach. Reverb-soaked synths alongside neon- tinged melancholy, these Bath- hailing dream-weavers are unashamedly confident in their creativity. Vanessa's lyrics are a raw, emotional see-saw, where she channels her personal thoughts and feelings."'Pray in silence' is my favourite we've done lyrically," Roo says. "It's not out yet but it has got a really emotional meaning to Vanessa. From ones we've released, one of my favourite lyrics is "Wear your tears as my jewels" in 'Asking For It'."
Returning back from a busy tour with Pale Waves, the group seem to be buzzing."It's been cool to play in front of loads of people, purely because we haven't really had that opportunity before," Vanessa beams."Southhampton was incredible!" Roo continues. "It was the Guildhall in Southhampton and was such a gothic, old building. Then Shepherds Bush too as that's such a great venue and has a lot of history to it - I think it was the biggest we played."
Being on tour sure looks like fun and with their cheeky attitude, they no doubt have stories to tell. "Me, Ciara, and Heather from Pale Waves were basically in a taxi on the way to find Vanessa and we found this passed out girl at the side of the road, and we had to help her into an ambulance," Roo explains. As I look at him in slight shook, we try not to awkwardly giggle. "So yes, we saved her!" he grins in triumphant.
Other than traveling the country, these guys take writing music very seriously. "We open up so much to each-other when we write and it's really therapeutic," Roo shares. "We always put loads of candles and get into the vibe." Fuelled by their charisma and Vanessa's elegant shyness, they have recently received much attention. "I feel like half the time women aren't really taken seriously," Vanessa sighs. "But I think now women are starting to speak up more which is great. I can't wait until it's equal because even now it's not." Stopping to think I nod in agreement. "I think people are afraid of what some women have to say sometimes," Roo boldly adds.
"No men ever get criticised for oversharing or being emotion." Talking of females in the industry, these two seem to be listening to a collection themselves, drawing influences from a diverse spectrum. "Obviously Pale Waves, I really love their vibe," Roo smirks. "Then loads of other stuff.. I still listen to a lot of Cyndi Lauper, Jay listens to The Cure, I love Lana Del Rays new stuff too!" he says. "I've been listening to Blanco White who are also on our management and they are really good," Vanessa adds.
Shrouded in mystery, the world of Swimming Girls are still unknown to most of us. However, with secured support slots with Fickle Friends and other little shows of their own, the word will undoubtably spread like wild fire.
"In the long term we'll be releasing a new EP in 2019 which is really exciting as we want to get out a body of work out which sums us up as it's hard to keep a main artistic vision when you're just releasing singles," Roo clarifies. "I think with the EP, we can explore more of the world we're trying to create. We have a lot of videos, all really different and we're just starting to get budgets for it, as before we had to make it all on our own. Now we're working with directors that we really love, one called Aidan Zamiri who worked with like Kate Nash and stuff."
Obviously stepping in the right direct, we can sense this band will be ones to look out for. "We're just trying to create a cult!" Roo bursts into laughter. Just you wait. We'll all be a Swimming Girl in no time.

SEARCA BIC Policy Brief Highlights Global Scientific Consensus on the Safety of GMO Technology
Despite the national policy on safe and responsible use of modern biotechnology, several local government units in the Philippines have passed resolutions and ordinances banning genetically modified (GM) crops in their respective areas. Across the globe, particularly in Europe, there are still many skeptics who refuse to recognize the potential benefits of GMO technology to raise farmers' income and yields, improve adaptation to climate change, and increase the crop's nutrient content.
Dr. Emil Q. Javier, a member of the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) and Chair of the Coalition for Agricultural Modernization in the Philippines, Inc. (CAMP), puts the spotlight on the scientific consensus in favor of GM technology based on published statements of the world's leading academies of science and responsible agencies. This is published as the third policy brief produced by SEARCA Biotechnology Information Center (SEARCA BIC).
These statements essentially validate the potential of GMO technology to increase and improve the efficiency of production of main food staples, reduce the environmental impact of agriculture, and provide access to food for small-scale farmers. The global scientific community concurred that GMO technology are no more risky than conventional plant breeding technologies. They also attested that these technologies are safe and that no effects on human health have been shown as a result of consumption of GM foods.
The 2018 Policy Brief series is produced and disseminated in partnership with the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA), Coalition for Agriculture Modernization in the Philippines (CAMP), Department of Agriculture-Biotechnology Program Office (DA-BPO), Program for Biosafety Systems (PBS), and DA-Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR).

EBA calls on the EU Commission to establish a single rulebook on fighting money laundering and terrorist financing
Home » News & press » EBA calls on the EU Commission to establish a single rulebook on fighting money laundering and terrorist financing
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its response to a European Commission's call for advice on how to strengthen the EU legal framework on anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). The European Commission issued this call for advice to the EBA to take advantage of its technical expertise across all areas of financial services regulation and because the EBA has a legal duty to lead, coordinate and monitor the EU financial sector's fight against ML/TF.
In its advice, the EBA sets out how the EU legal framework should be strengthened to tackle vulnerabilities linked to divergent national approaches and gaps in the EU defences against money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF).
Specifically, the EBA recommends that the Commission establish a single rulebook to:
Harmonise the EU legal framework in a directly applicable Regulation where evidence suggests that divergence of national rules and practices has had a significant, adverse impact on the prevention of the use of the EU's financial system for ML/TF purposes. This is the case for customer due diligence and wider AML/CFT systems and controls requirements, as well as for those rules governing key supervisory processes such as ML/TF risk assessments, cooperation and enforcement;
Strengthen aspects of the current AML/CFT Directive where existing provisions are insufficiently robust or specific, for example in relation to competent authorities'supervision powers in this area;
Review the list of obliged entities currently within the scope of the EU's AML/CFT regime;
Clarify provisions in sectoral financial services legislation to ensure they are compatible with the EU's AML/CFT objectives, for example by making sure that ML/TF risk is addressed consistently across all sectors.
With this Opinion, the EBA complements its response to the European Commission's consultation on its AML/CFT Action Plan, which advises on how to be effective and efficient in establishing a new EU AML/CFT supervisor by building on existing AML/CFT infrastructures.

SHS football drops season opener
By the time the Superior Wildcats football team shook off their first game jitters, the Centennial Broncos held a 14-0 lead. Superior's defense sputtered at the opening of the first quarter. while their play vastly improved, it was too little too late. Superior trailed 14-0 after the first period.
Centennial picked up another score in the second period with the Wildcats blocking the extra point kick to face a 20-0 deficit as the half drew to a close. A Dane Miller to James Love pass put Superior on the board with less than six seconds remaining in the half, to trail 20-6.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they were unable to kick start their offense. While playing tough defense, they were worn down by numbers, 24 on the Superior roster as opposed to 44 on the Centennial Bronco roster. High humidity and heat also took a toll. Centennial scored a touchdown in the third and fourth quarters to take home a 34-6 win.
Dane Miller completed five of his 13 passes for 49 yards and one touchdown.
Jacob Meyer grabbed three receptions for 34 yards. Love nabbed two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown.
Miller was the top Wildcat ground carrier with 15 carries for 20 yards. Clayton Morris had ten carries for 50 yards. Brown carried the ball 10 times for 28 yards. Tyler Everhart took the ball twice for 14 yards. Love netted a yard for his one carry. Matt Colgrove was a negative one yard with his sole carry. Hayden Neeman picked up 10 yards with his lone carry.
Morris recorded nine tackles. Ty Boller picked up four tackles. Seth Schnakenberg recorded a sack setting Centennial back 10 yards. Brown, Meyer and Anders Webber accounted for three sacks apiece. Everhart, Love and Miller contributed two tackles each. Colgrove and Humphries added a tackle apiece.
Brown averaged 38 yards with his four punts while Humphries booted one for 40 yards.
Superior travels to Fairbury, Friday to play the Fairbury Jeffs (0-1), a Class C-1 school. Kick off is slated for 7 p.m.

Никола́й Ива́нович Костома́ров (, Юрасовка, Воронежская губерния — , Санкт-Петербург) —  историк, этнограф, публицист, писатель, драматург, педагог и общественный деятель; поэт; собирал русский и украинский фольклор. Член-корреспондент Императорской Санкт-Петербургской академии наук, действительный статский советник. Автор многотомного труда «Русская история в жизнеописаниях её главнейших деятелей», исследователь социально-политической и экономической истории царской России. Один из сподвижников Кирилло-Мефодиевского братства.

Биография

Ранние годы
Николай Костомаров родился  года в слободе Юрасовке Острогожского уезда Воронежской губернии (ныне — в Ольховатском районе Воронежской области). Так как он был рождён до вступления в брак местного помещика Ивана Петровича Костомарова с крепостной Татьяной Петровной Мельниковой, то по законам Российской империи считался крепостным своего собственного отца.

Отставной военный Иван Петрович Костомаров (1769—14 июля 1828) уже в возрасте выбрал себе в жёны крепостную девушку Татьяну Петровну Мельникову (1800—1 февраля 1875) и отправил её в Москву для обучения в частном пансионе — с намерением потом на ней жениться. Обвенчались родители Николая Костомарова в сентябре 1817 года, уже после рождения сына. Отец собирался усыновить Николая, но не успел этого сделать.

Иван Костомаров был поклонником французской литературы XVIII века, идеи которой он пытался прививать и малолетнему сыну, и своей дворне, но с крепостными обращался весьма сурово. 14 июля 1828 года он был убит своими дворовыми людьми, похитившими при этом скопленный им капитал. По официальной версии, 59-летнего Ивана Костомарова, возвращавшегося в Юрасовку с экипажем, ночью убил его собственный кучер с сообщниками, попытавшись представить убийство как несчастный случай. Преступление, совершённое с целью обогащения, было раскрыто по горячим следам.

Однако, по другой версии, преступление не было раскрыто сразу. Земская полиция, расследовавшая дело, никакого следствия о пропаже денег не производила, а убийство признала «несчастным случаем». Лишь спустя пять лет, у церкви на могиле Ивана Костомарова, кучер, совершивший это убийство, принародно покаялся в преступлении. Как пишет сам Николай Костомаров: Звали кучера Савелий Иванов, было ему уже за 60 лет. Носил человек в себе грех годы. Не выдержал. Попросил священника ударить в колокола и прилюдно у могильного креста признался, рассказал о случившемся всю правду. Злодеев судили, и на допросах кучер говорил: «Сам барин виноват, что нас искусил; бывало начнёт всем рассказывать, что Бога нет, что на том свете ничего не будет, что только дураки боятся загробного наказания — мы и забрали себе в голову, что коли на том свете ничего не будет, то значит, всё можно делать»О причинах, побудивших крестьян к убийству, единого мнения в воспоминаниях современников и исследовательской литературе нет. Сам Костомаров считает убедительной версию о жажде наживы и отсутствии страха наказания в загробном мире у крестьян. Его мнение подтверждал старожил Юрасовки Захар Иванович Ерёмин, который из рассказов деда помнил, что «на Костомара зла не держали. Недобрыми были управляющие, от них всё зло. А убил его, пана, кучер, крепкий мужик. Убил из-за богатства, позарился на чужое». Убийство с грабежом — случай не первый, к сожалению, и не последний в роду человеческом. В литературе о Костомарове есть и иное объяснение случившемуся. Историк Н. Беляев единственной причиной убийства называет несправедливую жестокость барина. Крестьяне мстили ему за то, что он издевался над ними, «сажал на цепь, прикованную к колоде». Видимо, в каждом утверждении есть доля истины.

Протоиерей Андрей Ткачёв считает, что Иван Костомаров был «сам виноват» в своём убийстве, поскольку сам же и убеждал своих крестьян в отсутствии Бога и совести:Полиция искала убийц и найти не смогла. А спустя некоторое время убийцы сами явились с повинной. Это были крепостные покойника: кучер и ещё кто-то. На вопрос: «Почему повинились?» — сказали: «Совесть замучила. Барин, мол, и так и сяк убеждал, что муки вечной нет, и совести нет, и Бога нет. Делай, говорил, что хочешь. Ну, мы и убили. А Бог, оказывается, есть. И совесть есть — она нас мучит. И ад есть — мы в нём живём. И чтоб от вечного ада уйти, решили повиниться».Смерть Ивана Костомарова поставила его семью в тяжёлое юридическое положение. Рождённый «до венца», Николай как крепостной переходил теперь в наследство ближайшим родственникам отца — Ровневым.

Оставшись с очень скромным достатком, мать перевела Николая из московского пансиона в пансион в Воронеже, ближе к дому. Обучение в нём обходилось дешевле, но уровень преподавания был очень низким, и мальчик едва высиживал скучные уроки, которые практически ничего ему не давали. Пробыв там около двух лет, он был отчислен за «шалости» из этого пансиона и перешёл в Воронежскую гимназию (1831). Окончив здесь курс в 1833 году, Николай стал студентом историко-филологического факультета Харьковского университета.

Студенчество
Уже в первые годы учения сказались блестящие способности Костомарова, доставившие ему от учителей московского пансиона, в котором он при жизни отца недолго учился, прозвище «enfant miraculeux» (). Природная живость характера Костомарова, с одной стороны, и низкий уровень учителей того времени — с другой, не давали ему возможности серьёзно увлечься занятиями. Первые годы пребывания в Харьковском университете, историко-филологический факультет которого не блистал в ту пору профессорскими дарованиями, мало отличались в этом отношении для Костомарова от гимназии. Сам Костомаров много работал, увлекаясь то классической древностью, то новой французской литературой, но работы эти велись без надлежащего руководства и системы, и позднее Костомаров называл свою студенческую жизнь «беспорядочной». Лишь в 1835 году, когда на кафедре всеобщей истории в Харькове появился М. М. Лунин, занятия Костомарова приобрели бо́льшую системность. Лекции Лунина оказали на него сильное влияние, и он с жаром отдался изучению истории.

Тем не менее, он так ещё смутно сознавал своё настоящее призвание, что по окончании университета поступил было на военную службу. Неспособность его к последней скоро стала, однако, ясна и начальству его, и ему самому.

Увлёкшись изучением сохранившегося в городе Острогожске, где стоял его полк, архива местного уездного суда, Костомаров задумал писать историю слободских казачьих полков. По совету начальства он оставил полк и осенью 1837 года вновь явился в Харьков с намерением пополнить своё историческое образование.

В это время усиленных занятий у Костомарова, отчасти под влиянием Лунина, стал складываться взгляд на историю, в котором были оригинальные черты сравнительно с господствовавшими тогда среди русских историков воззрениями. По позднейшим словам самого учёного, он «читал много всякого рода исторических книг, вдумывался в науку и пришёл к такому вопросу: отчего это во всех историях толкуют о выдающихся государственных деятелях, иногда о законах и учреждениях, но как будто пренебрегают жизнью народной массы? Бедный мужик-земледелец-труженик как будто не существует для истории; отчего история не говорит нам ничего о его быте, о его духовной жизни, о его чувствованиях, способе его радостей и печалей»? Мысль об истории народа и его духовной жизни, в противоположность истории государства, стала с этой поры основной идеей в кругу исторических воззрений Костомарова. Видоизменяя понятие о содержании истории, он раздвигал и круг её источников. Как писал он «Скоро я пришёл к убеждению, что историю нужно изучать не только по мертвым летописям и запискам, а и в живом народе». Он научился украинскому языку, перечитал изданные народные украинские песни и печатную литературу на украинском языке, тогда очень небольшую, предпринимал «этнографические экскурсии из Харькова по соседним сёлам, по шинкам». Весну 1838 года он провёл в Москве, где слушание лекций С. П. Шевырёва ещё более укрепило в нём романтическое отношение к народности.

Со второй половины 1830-х годов он начал писать по-украински, под псевдонимом Иеремия Галка, и в 1839—1841 годах выпустил в свет две драмы и несколько сборников стихотворений, оригинальных и переводных. Писал прозу на русском языке.

Быстро продвигались вперёд и его занятия по истории. В 1840 году Костомаров выдержал магистерский экзамен.

В 1842 году он напечатал диссертацию «О значении унии в западной России». Назначенный уже диспут не состоялся вследствие сообщения архиепископа Харьковского Иннокентия о возмутительном содержании книги. Хотя речь шла лишь о нескольких неудачных выражениях, петербургский профессор Н. Г. Устрялов, по поручению Министерства народного просвещения разбиравший труд Костомарова, дал о нём такой отзыв, что книгу велено было сжечь.

Костомарову дозволено было написать другую магистерскую диссертацию, и в конце 1843 года он представил на факультет работу под названием «Об историческом значении русской народной поэзии», которую и защитил в начале следующего года. В этом труде нашли яркое выражение этнографические стремления исследователя, принявшие более определённый вид благодаря сближению его с кружком молодых украинцев (Корсун, Кореницкий, Бецкий и др.), подобно ему мечтавших о возрождении украинской литературы.

Панславизм

Немедленно по окончании своей второй диссертации Костомаров предпринял новую работу по истории Богдана Хмельницкого и, желая побывать в местностях, где происходили описываемые им события, стал учителем гимназии сперва в Ровно (1844), затем (1845) в Киеве. В 1846 году совет Киевского университета избрал Костомарова преподавателем русской истории, и с осени этого года он начал свои лекции, вызвавшие сразу глубокий интерес слушателей.

В Киеве, как и в Харькове, около него составился кружок лиц, преданных идее славянского единства, создания идеальной федерации славянских народов на основе сословного равенства, свободы печати и вероисповедания. В кружок этот входили П. А. Кулиш, Аф. В. Маркевич, Н. И. Гулак, В. М. Белозерский, Т. Г. Шевченко, А. А. Навроцкий.

Взаимность славянских народов — в нашем воображении не ограничивалась уже сферой науки и поэзии, но стала представляться в образах, в которых, как нам казалось, она должна была воплотиться для будущей истории. Помимо нашей воли стал нам представляться федеративный строй, как самое счастливое течение общественной жизни славянских наций… Во всех частях федерации предполагались одинаковые основные законы и права, равенство веса, мер и монеты, отсутствие таможен и свобода торговли, всеобщее уничтожение крепостного права и рабства в каком бы то ни было виде, единая центральная власть, заведующая сношениями вне союза, войском и флотом, но полная автономия каждой части по отношению к внутренним учреждениям, внутреннему управлению, судопроизводству и народному образованию.

С целью распространения этих идей дружеский кружок преобразовался в общество, получившее название Кирилло-Мефодиевского братства.

Панславистские мечтания юных энтузиастов скоро были оборваны. Студент Петров, подслушавший их беседы, донёс на них; они были арестованы весной 1847 года, обвинены в государственном преступлении и подвергнуты различным наказаниям.

Расцвет деятельности

Костомаров, просидев год в Петропавловской крепости, был «переведён на службу» в Саратов и отдан под надзор местной полиции, причём ему на будущее время воспрещалось как преподавание, так и печатание его произведений. Ссылка указала Костомарову настоящие размеры пропасти, лежавшей между его идеалами и действительностью, но она не убила в нём ни идеализма, ни энергии и способности к работе. В Саратове он продолжал писать своего «Богдана Хмельницкого», начал новую работу о внутреннем быте Русского государства XVI—XVII веков, совершал этнографические экскурсии, собирая народные песни и предания, как прежде в Малороссии, знакомился с раскольниками и сектантами. В 1855 году ему дозволен был отпуск в Петербург, которым он воспользовался для окончания своего труда о Хмельницком; в 1856 году отменено было запрещение печатать его сочинения и затем снят с него надзор. Совершив поездку за границу, Костомаров опять поселился в Саратове, где написал «Бунт Стеньки Разина» и принимал участие, в качестве делопроизводителя губернского комитета по улучшению быта крестьян, в подготовке крестьянской реформы. Весной 1859 года он был приглашён петербургским университетом занять кафедру русской истории, освободившуюся с выходом в отставку Устрялова. Тяготевшее ещё над Костомаровым запрещение педагогической деятельности было снято по ходатайству министра Б. П. Ковалевского, и в ноябре 1859 года он открыл свои лекции в университете. Это была пора наиболее интенсивной работы в жизни Костомарова и наибольшей его популярности. Однако, как указывал К. Ф. Головин, «голос Костомарова и его манера читать сильно напоминала беззубое шамканье старой бабы. Не могу сказать, чтобы в его лекциях было что-нибудь особенно увлекательное, напоминавшее, хотя-бы издали, блестящие лекции Грановского … Но одно могу сказать: Костомаров сумел сделать необыкновенно популярными среди студентов русские летописи».

Известный уже русской публике как талантливый писатель, он выступил теперь в качестве профессора, обладающего могучим и оригинальным талантом изложения и проводящего самостоятельные и новые воззрения на задачи и сущность истории. Эти воззрения находились в тесной связи с теми взглядами, какие выработались у него ещё в Харькове. Сам Костомаров так формулировал основную идею своих лекций:
Вступая на кафедру, я задался мыслью в своих лекциях выдвинуть на первый план народную жизнь во всех её частных проявлениях… Русское государство складывалось из частей, которые прежде жили собственной независимой жизнью, и долго после того жизнь частей высказывалась отличными стремлениями в общем государственном строе. Найти и уловить эти особенности народной жизни частей русского государства составляло для меня задачу моих занятий историей.

Под влиянием этой идеи у Костомарова сложился особый взгляд на историю образования Русского государства, резко противоречивший тем воззрениям, какие высказывались славянофильской школой и С. М. Соловьёвым. Одинаково далёкий от мистического преклонения перед народом и от одностороннего увлечения идеей государственности, Костомаров старался не только вскрыть условия, приведшие к образованию русского государственного строя, но и определить ближе сам характер этого строя, его отношение к предшествовавшей ему жизни и его влияние на народные массы. Рассматриваемая с этой точки зрения, история Русского государства рисовалась в более мрачных красках, чем в изображениях её другими историками, тем более, что усвоенное Костомаровым критическое отношение к её источникам очень скоро привело его к мысли о необходимости признать недостоверными отдельные блестящие её эпизоды, считавшиеся до тех пор прочно установленными. Некоторые свои выводы Костомаров излагал и в печати, и они навлекали на него сильные нападки; но в университете его лекции пользовались неслыханным успехом, привлекая массу как студентов, так и посторонних слушателей.

В эту же пору Костомаров был избран членом археографической комиссии и предпринял издание актов по истории Малороссии XVII века. Подготавливая эти документы к изданию, он начал писать по ним ряд монографий, которые должны были в результате составить историю Малороссии со времени Хмельницкого; эту работу он продолжал до конца жизни. Кроме того, Костомаров принимал участие в некоторых журналах («Русское слово», «Современник»), печатая в них отрывки своих лекций и исторические статьи. В эту эпоху своей жизни Костомаров стоял довольно близко к прогрессивным кружкам петербургского университета и журналистики, но полному слиянию его с ними мешало их увлечение экономическими вопросами, тогда как он сохранял романтическое отношение к народности и украинофильские идеи. Наиболее близким для него журналом явился учреждённый собравшимися в Петербурге некоторыми из бывших членов Кирилло-Мефодиевского общества «Основа», где он поместил ряд статей, посвящённых по преимуществу выяснению существования «двух русских народностей» и полемике с отрицавшими такое значение польскими («Правда полякам о Руси») и великорусскими писателями («Правда москвичам о Руси»). Как писал сам Николай Иванович:

Оказывается, что русская народность не едина; их две, а кто знает, может быть их откроется и более, и тем не менее оне — русския… Очень может быть, что я во многом ошибся, представляя такия понятия о различии двух русских народностей, составившияся из наблюдений над историей и настоящей их жизнию. Дело других будет обличить меня и исправить. Но разумея таким образом это различие, я думаю, что задачею вашей Основы будет: выразить в литературе то влияние, какое должны иметь на общее наше образование своеобразные признаки южнорусской народности. Это влияние должно не разрушать, а дополнять и умерять то коренное начало великорусское, которое ведет к сплочению, к слитию, к строгой государственной и общинной форме, поглощающей личность, и стремление к практической деятельности, впадающей в материальность, лишенную поэзии. Южнорусский элемент должен давать нашей общей жизни растворяющее, оживляющее, одухотворяющее начало. Южнорусское племя, в прошедшей истории, доказало неспособность свою к государственной жизни. Оно справедливо должно было уступить именно великорусскому, примкнуть к нему, когда задачею общей русской истории было составление государства. Но государственная жизнь сформировалась, развилась и окрепла. Теперь естественно, если народность с другим противоположным основанием и характером вступит в сферу самобытнаго развития и окажет воздействие на великорусскую.

По словам историка Ивана Лаппо:

Костомаров, сторонник федерализма, всегда верный малороссийской народности своей матери, без всяких оговорок признавал эту народность органическою частью единого русского народа, которого «народная стихия общерусская», по его определению, «в первой половине нашей истории» является «в совокупности шести главных народностей, именно: 1) Южнорусской, 2) Северской, 3) Великорусской, 4) Белорусской, 5) Псковской и 6) Новгородской». При этом Костомаров считал своим долгом и «указать на те начала, которые условливали между ними связь и служили поводом, что все они вместе носили и должны были носить название общей Русской Земли, принадлежали к одному общему составу и сознавали эту связь, несмотря на обстоятельства, склонившие к уничтожению этого сознания. Эти начала: 1) происхождение, быт и языки, 2) единый княжеский род, 3) христианская вера и единая Церковь».

После вызванного студенческими беспорядками (1861) закрытия Петербургского университета, несколько профессоров, и в числе их Костомаров, устроили (в городской думе) систематические публичные лекции, известные в тогдашней печати под именем «вольного» или «подвижного» университета: Костомаров читал лекции по древней русской истории. Когда профессор Павлов, после публичного чтения о тысячелетии России, был выслан из Санкт-Петербурга, комитет по устройству думских лекций решил, в виде протеста, прекратить их. Костомаров отказался подчиниться этому решению, но на следующей его лекции (8 марта 1862 года) поднятый публикой шум принудил его прекратить чтение, а дальнейшие лекции были воспрещены администрацией.

Весной-летом 1862 года Костомаров предпринял путешествие по России, посетив с археографическими и археологическими целями известные исторические места. В частности, на берегу притока Шелони пересохшей речки Драни (ныне — ручей Дряно) им была обнаружена и поверхностно обследована братская могила воинов Великого Новгорода, погибших в битве на реке Шелонь в 1471 году, позже утраченная.

Выйдя в 1862 году из состава профессоров петербургского университета, Костомаров уже не мог более вернуться на кафедру, так как его политическая благонадёжность вновь была заподозрена, главным образом, вследствие усилий московской «охранительной» печати. В 1863 году его приглашал на кафедру Киевский университет, в 1864 году — Харьковский, в 1869 году — опять Киевский, но Костомаров, по указаниям министерства народного просвещения, должен был отклонить все эти приглашения и ограничиться одной литературной деятельностью, которая, с прекращением «Основы», также замкнулась в более тесные рамки. После всех этих тяжёлых ударов Костомаров как бы охладел к современности и перестал интересоваться ею, окончательно уйдя в изучение прошлого и в архивные работы. Один за другим появлялись в свет его труды, посвящённые крупным вопросам по истории Малороссии, Русского государства и Польши. В 1863 году были напечатаны «Севернорусские народоправства», представлявшие собой обработку одного из читанных Костомаровым в петербургском университете курсов; в 1866 году в «Вестнике Европы» появилось «Смутное время московского государства», затем «Последние годы Речи Посполитой». В начале 1870-х годов Костомаров начал работу «Об историческом значении русского песенного народного творчества». Вызванный ослаблением зрения перерыв архивных занятий в 1872 году дал Костомарову повод к составлению «Русской истории в жизнеописаниях главнейших её деятелей».

Последние годы

В феврале 1875 года Костомаров перенёс сыпной тиф, что сильно подорвало его здоровье (тогда же от воспаления лёгких умерла его мать). 9 мая 1875 года он обвенчался с Алиной Леонтьевной Кисель (урождённая Крагельская) (1830—1907), которая была его невестой ещё до ареста его в 1847 году, но после его ссылки вышла замуж за другого.

Работы последних лет жизни Костомарова, при всех их крупных достоинствах, носили на себе, однако, некоторые следы пошатнувшейся силы таланта: в них меньше обобщений, менее живости в изложении, место блестящих характеристик заменяет иногда сухой перечень фактов, несколько напоминающий манеру Соловьёва. В эти годы Костомаров высказывал даже такую точку зрения, что вся задача историка сводится к передаче найденных им в источниках проверенных фактов. С неутомимой энергией работал он до самой смерти.

Костомаров Н. И. умер  года, после долгой и мучительной болезни. Был похоронен в Санкт-Петербурге на Литераторских мостках Волковского кладбища.

Оценка деятельности
Репутация Костомарова, как историка, и при жизни, и после смерти его неоднократно подвергалась сильным нападкам. Его упрекали в поверхностном пользовании источниками и проистекавших отсюда ошибках, в односторонности взглядов, в партийности. В этих упреках заключается доля истины. Неизбежные у всякого учёного промахи и ошибки, быть может, несколько чаще встречаются в сочинениях Костомарова, но это, по мнению Мякотина, объясняется необыкновенным разнообразием его занятий и привычкой полагаться на свою богатую память. В тех немногих случаях, когда партийность действительно проявлялась у Костомарова — а именно в некоторых трудах его по малорусской (украинской) истории, — это было лишь естественной реакцией против ещё более партийных взглядов, высказывавшихся в литературе с другой стороны. Не всегда, далее, сам материал, над которым работал Костомаров, давал ему возможность придерживаться своих взглядов на задачу историка. Историк внутренней жизни народа по своим научным взглядам и симпатиям, он именно в своих работах, посвящённых Украине, должен был явиться изобразителем внешней истории.

Во всяком случае, общее значение Костомарова в развитии русской историографии можно, без всякого преувеличения, назвать громадным. Им была внесена и настойчиво проводилась во всех его трудах идея народной истории. Сам Костомаров понимал и осуществлял её главным образом в виде изучения духовной жизни народа. Позднейшие исследователи раздвинули содержание этой идеи, но заслуга Костомарова этим не уменьшается. В связи с этой основной мыслью работ Костомарова стояла у него другая — о необходимости изучения племенных особенностей каждой части народа и создания областной истории. Если в современной науке установился несколько иной взгляд на народный характер, отрицающий ту неподвижность, какую приписывал ему Костомаров, то именно работы последнего послужили толчком, в зависимости от которого стало развиваться изучение истории областей.
Внося новые и плодотворные идеи в разработку русской истории, исследуя самостоятельно целый ряд вопросов в её области, Костомаров, благодаря особенностям своего таланта, пробуждал, вместе с тем, живой интерес к историческим знаниям и в массе публики. Глубоко вдумываясь, почти вживаясь в изучаемую им старину, он воспроизводил её в своих работах такими яркими красками, в таких выпуклых образах, что она привлекала читателя и неизгладимыми чертами врезывалась в его ум. В лице Костомарова удачно соединялись историк-мыслитель и художник — и это обеспечило ему не только одно из первых мест в ряду русских историков, но и наибольшую популярность среди читающей публики.

Взгляды Костомарова находят своё применение при анализе современных азиатских и африканских обществ. Так, например, современный востоковед С. З. Гафуров указывал в своей статье, посвящённой Третьей мировой теории ливийского лидера М. Каддафи:

Интересно отметить, что семантика слова «Джамахирия» связана с понятиями, которые Кропоткин считал ранними формами анархизма. Например, он отмечал, что русский историк Костомаров использовал понятие «народоправство», что вполне может быть удачным переводом арабского слова — новообразования «Джамахирия» на русский язык

В 1885 году А. А. Хованский, редактор «Филологических записок», опубликовал в своём журнале некролог о Костомарове.

Climate Change: Part One
47 Canal, New York
April 27 – June 9, 2019
Part one of a calamity in progress. The year is 2050 or 2060. Or 2040. A mid-century turning point. A tipping point. Everyone who was alive at the turn of the century is middle-aged, elderly, or dead. The west Antarctic ice sheet has come unmoored and slipped into the ocean. Sudden catastrophic sea-level rise. New York, San Francisco, Washington, Miami, Houston, Seattle. All gone. London, Amsterdam, Venice, Shanghai, Seoul, Rio, Lagos, Mumbai, Capetown, Dubai. All of Bangladesh. Lost beneath the filthy waves along with all the world's beaches.
American global hegemony unraveling in the surf. The military, industrial, and commercial ties that bind soaked in seawater, frayed, rotten. Dissolving in our world's most abundant chemical solvent. Water. The global web of trade in physical material and physical goods and physical food unraveled. Replaced by a desperate scramble over scarce real world resources. The last commercial airplane flights have flown. The early 21st Century was a soft dystopia - misery unequally distributed across the Earth. Middle-class consumer normalcy for the few, civil conflict, mosquito-born plagues, or grinding poverty for everyone else. Climate change produces a hard dystopia. Suffering for all. How much, a question of degrees. 2oC. 3oC. 5oC. 8oC.
The 21st Century is a collection of historical singularities. Beyond these epochal turning points, most predictions break down.
On the other side of these doorways, the world and its inhabitants' needs and drives are so different that it's impossible to conceive of them until passing beyond the threshold.
Except that a world of refugees, human pain, hunger, and disease is nothing new. It's the story of every human civilization for the last ten thousand years.
While the varieties of human misery are nothing new, the shape of the societies that suffer in this sweltering world is less clear. Climate change is a singularity. So is the end of capitalism. Another is the end of Western political, economic, and military hegemony over the globe. What does the world look like after white supremacy melts down?
Melting is a physical process. Solid matter melting into a liquid state in response to heat. Heat is energy coursing through atoms and molecules, causing them to pick up speed. The application of enough energy can cause matter to transform. Solid matter appears motionless, its particles locked together. The addition of energy allows the bonds between particles to loosen, allowing them to flow as a liquid. Disintegration is a related physical process. Given time and wind and water, rocks can disintegrate into sand. The strongest and most rigid nation-states can also disintegrate. Water washes everything away.

I've written about this before, but I really love flying in World of Warcraft. My Druid's raven-like Flight Form is my favorite part of the game. It's the source of some of my best memories in the game.
When Blizzard removed flying from Pandaria I was annoyed. Sure, we could fly at the level cap, so I could still flit around eventually, but it was a slog to get there.
Draenor doesn't have flying. It's possible WoW never will again, at least in newer content.
The thread about this change on the official forums is pretty epic, running fast and furious since its inception, though it's locked now. Closing it off is sure to spawn more, hydra-like. The sequel is already off to a roaring start.
I'm on record as being a fan of flight. I think this is a Bad Idea on Blizzard's part. It will be most interesting to see if it matters, either in the short term or the long term.
It has mattered to me already, though. I won't be buying Warlords of Draenor. I was considering it, and almost did last time it was on sale. At present, though, with the "Facebook-ization" of the game via Garrisons and the cancellation of flight, it just doesn't have enough draw to get me back into new content. I might revisit Pandaria or Northrend at some point, since they are beautiful to fly around in, but the newer stuff just doesn't cut it.
I'm not saying "Nevermore" just quite yet, but it's ever closer.
Life's busy around here, so while Operation: Backlog is still running, we have other wheels to turn and it's stalled a bit for a moment.
We started out on Kickstarter with plastic dice, and while those didn't get enough traction, we're hoping we can make another run at it and get them made this time. Please check it out and we'd really appreciate it if you'd spread the word on this! We have big plans to unlock some new colors, and the more the merrier!


We live in a culture where work-life balance is becoming more important to a wellness-centered life. Whether you work from home or put in hours at an office, it's important not to overexert yourself professionally. The far-reaching consequences of working too hard or too long can negatively impact our health, our happiness, and our relationships with family and friends.
If you're a small business owner or entrepreneur, it's crucial to recognize signs of early burnout before they grow. This way, you'll stay motivated, energized, and ready to take on whatever comes your way. This is especially important when funding your business. 1 in 10 businesses fail due to lack of passion, and it's estimated that negativity costs businesses $3 billion annually.
While running a business isn't easy, there are some simple steps you can take during every step of the process that will keep things running smoothly. This infographic from Fundera outlines everything you need to combat small-business burnout.

Q: Do I need to enable Network Discovery to install a printer connected to a home router? Scenario
I'm considering purchasing a home network printer but first wanted to verify the prerequisites for configuring the PCs & laptops that are connected to my home network, so that all devices can print to the new printer.
Let's say I have the following setup:

*

*I have a printer connected directly to my home router with a wired ethernet connection.

*I have several PCs & laptops running a mixture of Windows 7 & 10 connecting to my home router via a mixture of wired & wireless connections.

*Network discovery is turned off by default on all PCs & laptops, with the network location set to the default Public Network.

Goal
I wish to be able to print to the network printer from all PCs & laptops connected to the home router either wired or wirelessly.
Anticipated Steps
From my own experience & research, I anticipate the setup to be as follows:

*

*Connect printer to home router via wired ethernet connection.

*Print Network Configuration page to obtain printer IP address.

*Log onto home router and reserve printer IP address.

*On each PC or laptop:

*

*Open Control Panel

*Devices & Printers

*Add Printer

*Add Network Printer

*Add Printer by TCP/IP Address

*Enter reserved printer IP address

*Query printer for appropriate driver

However, I'm unsure whether or not I need to enable Network Discovery for the above to be successful, and if so, I'm unsure of the implications for doing so?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A: You do not need to enable Network discovery to add a printer. Your anticipated steps are correct because you know the IP of the printer. If you did not know the IP and needed to search the network for a printer, then you would need to turn it on to find the device.

Entrepreneur to Canada's economic development ministers: Support basic income
Posted by Roderick Benns 362sc on June 14, 2017

A Canadian entrepreneur who grew up in Oshawa and found success in New York is pushing Canada's economic development ministers to adopt basic income.
Mike Schmidt is the founder of Dovetale.com, a content and audience intelligence platform used by publishers and brands like Buzzfeed, L'Oreal and others. Prior, he founded Listn, a mobile music startup based in Los Angeles California before its multimillion dollar acquisition by Robert Sillerman's SFX Entertainment. He also serves as a member of the Canadian Leadership Committee for the G20 YEA.
Schmidt has written to 24 ministers, spread out over 10 provinces, three territories, and the federal government, to urge them to get on board with bringing in a basic income guarantee for Canadians.
In the letter, Schmidt writes that he decided to take a risk and start a company with friends.
"We ended up raising venture capital, building a business that scaled to over 60 countries and eventually selling the company in 2015. After building two companies now, I've seen a lot as a young entrepreneur and continue to get excited about how key members in the economy drive change. I've also seen a lot of friends that have not had the same opportunity as I have had," he writes.
Schmidt writes that in the new age of entrepreneurship, the economy is changing rapidly.
"A new framework to support this ecosystem must emerge and mature," he writes.
The entrepreneur notes that the need for a basic income that everyone is able to access in times of need "and that helps ensure that, at the end of a day of entrepreneurial action, there's sufficient food on the table, a decent roof over one's head and the meeting of other basic needs common to us all."
The businessman believes basic income is "an essential building block for an innovative economy."
"It strengthens the capacity of people…It gives people a better chance to pursue their ideas for products or services of benefit to others and the planet. I believe basic income, once available to working-age adults…can and will be beneficial to our entire society….Ultimately, when working-age adults are more economically secure they are much more able to pursue entrepreneurship."
Saying it's time for Canada to innovate again, Schmidt tells the Precarious Work Chronicle that Canada can lead again.
"Canada has been a leader in health care, gender equality, infrastructure, international trade and more. We can be a role model in a new economy, one that embraces ideas like…basic income."
It's "worth the investment because it is essential for a future that is focused on creativity and entrepreneurship," Schmidt says.
"Canada has a unique and short window to lead a movement focused on these silos."
The movement is definitely growing in Canada.
Ontario leads the way, with a roll-out this year of a pilot project involving three cities and one indigenous reserve. The plan is to invite a mix of people into the program, such as those who are working but not working enough to stay out of poverty, those who are currently on social assistance, and people who are homeless.
In Prince Edward Island, the Legislature agreed unanimously to have the province work with the federal government in the hope of running a Basic Income pilot on the island.
The Quebec Liberal government hinted strongly in its recent budget that some form of basic income guarantee is imminent – but likely only for a small portion of the province, at least to begin with. Quebec will bypass any testing of the program and instead will begin a restrained roll-out of a minimum income program aimed at lifting the most vulnerable out of poverty.
In a power-sharing deal that might transform the political landscape of British Columbia, the New Democratic Party (NDP) and Green Party are committing to run a basic income pilot. They will get a chance to topple the Liberal government on a confidence vote sometime in the next few weeks.
