When the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery fiasco came into light, the South Korean giant called back its devices and cut off support for its doomed flagship disabling various features in the process. While most people abided and returned the device, some didn't.
Folks over at Reddit have been vocal about their right to own a device regardless of what Sammy might think. Although we at AndroidSage respect one's right to own a device, it should not be at the expense of the safety of others.
Samsung recently released the Galaxy Note Fan Edition (FE) which essentially is a modified Note 7 with battery limitations and few other changes. The Galaxy Note FE also comes with the new UI bearing a stark resemblance to the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.
The ROM for the Galaxy Note FE has now been successfully ported over to the Galaxy Note 7 device by XDAVNDEV and is based on Android 7.0 Nougat.

Lewis Carroll needed a clear mind for his writings. Drugs like laudanum would not have been helpful during writing.
The drug link is a homespun thing. You'll find it on a host of random forums.
But the experts are usually sceptical. Carroll wasn't thought to have been a recreational user of opium or laudanum, and the references may say more about the people making them than the author.
"The notion that the surreal aspects of the text are the consequence of drug-fuelled dreams resonates with a culture, particularly perhaps in the 60s, 70s and 80s when LSD was widely-circulated and even now where recreational drugs are commonplace," says Dr Heather Worthington, Children's Literature lecturer at Cardiff University.
Source: Is Alice in Wonderland really about drugs?
(by Sophie Robehmed, BBC magazine 2012-08-20)
Let me be perfectly clear here: Lewis Carroll didn't do recreational drugs. Certainly there were drug references in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and these were picked up on by people with interests in that area, particularly in the late sixties. That is not to say that Carroll never took Laudanum for a medical problem on the advice of a doctor. There is NO direct proof (in his letters or his diaries) that he ever took narcotic drugs. You might ask yourself why students insist that he did and why some teachers teach that he did.
Alice gets linked to the drug culture. No, Lewis Carroll did not use mind altering drugs to increase his creativity. He used his imagination. If you have one, it's better than drugs. If you don't, the drugs won't help you. With apologies to the late Timothy Leary.

Author Goetz KlugePosted on 2020-11-29 2020-12-19 Categories author, fact check
Perhaps I may venture for a moment to use a more serious tone, and to point out that there are mental troubles, much worse than mere worry, for which an absorbing object of thought may serve as a remedy.
There are sceptical thoughts, which seem for the moment to uproot the firmest faith;
there are blasphemous thoughts, which dart unbidden into the most reverent souls;
there are unholy thoughts, which torture with their hateful presence the fancy that would fain be pure.
Against all these some real mental work is a most helpful ally. That "unclean spirit" of the parable, who brought back with him seven others more wicked than himself, only did so because he found the chamber "swept and garnished," and its owner sitting with folded hands. Had he found it all alive with the "busy hum" of active work, there would have been scant welcome for him and his seven!
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson: Pillow Problems and A Tangled Tale, 1885, p. XV;
see also: Life & Letters. Bulletpoints not by Dodgson.)
As any human, Carroll/Dodgson was battling with all kind of temptations. As we know, speculations about possible temptations in his private life keep feeding the pop culture Carroll debate since the 1930s. The controversy is marginalizing the religious conflicts which the Reverend Dodgson was struggling with. I think that one of these serious conflicts was Charles Darwin's challenge to fundamental religious beliefs. Darwin's discoveries surely had (and still have) the potential to uproot the firmest faith in various religions.
In the title of the book [Pillow-Problems, 2nd edition], the words "sleepless nights" have been replaced by "wakefull hours".
This last change has been made in order to allay the anxiety of friends, who have written to me to express their sympathy in my broken-down state of health, believing that I am a sufferer of chronic "insomnia", and that it is a remedy for that exhausting malady that I have recommended mathematical calculation.
The title was not, I fear, wisely chosen; and it certainly was liable to suggest a meaning I did not intend to convey, viz. that my "nights" are often wholly "sleepless". This is by no means the case: I have never suffered from "insomnia": and the over-wakeful hours, that I have had to spend at night, have often been simply the result of the over-sleepy hours I have spent during the preceding evening! Nor is it as a remedy for wakefulness that I have suggested mathematical calculation: but as a remedy for the harassing thoughts that are apt to invade a wholly-unoccupied mind.
I believe that an hour of calculation is much better for me than half-an-hour of worry.
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson: Pillow Problems, preface to the second edition, 1893)
Carroll openly described how he used mental mathematical work to find distraction from "harassing thoughts".
I don't know to which degree the illustrator Henry Holiday discussed and aligned with Carroll his choice of pictorial references in his illustrations to Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark, but there is a pictorial reference to mental troubles: St. Anthony's temptations (painting by Matthias Grünewald). In one of Holiday's illustrations you see Colenso's arithmetic textbook. Like Anthony, also Carroll needed lots of mental work as an distraction from sceptical, blasphemous and unholy thoughts. Anthony probably found help in the scriptures which were sacred to him. Interestingly, the Reverend Dodgson used mathematics to resist the temptations.
I saw this math textbook in Holiday's illustration since many years. Only recently that led me to the assumption (which probably always will be just an assumption) that Holiday might have placed that book into his illustration as a hint to how Carroll used math to keep his brain busy with "some real mental work" as a "most helpful ally" in his battle against the temptations which haunted him.
By the way: Possible references in "The Hunting of the Snark" to St. Anthony and to Darwin had been addressed by Mahendra Singh already in June 2007, more than two years before I started my Snark hunt. He and John Tufail were among my most helpful scouts during my hunt.

Failure?
https://bookbarnbbi.wordpress.com/2017/12/01/pick-of-the-darwin-room/:
[…] When [The Hunting of the Snark] was published in 1876 it was illustrated by Henry Holiday who, though a very talented artist, failed to capture the surreal nature of Carroll's poem. The illustrations for this edition however, provided by Gormenghast author Mervyn Peake, are the perfect accompaniment. Peake's drawings have an uneasy bubbling quality, blending with the silly and macabre feel of the words […]
Nothing against Mervyn Peake's illustrations, but already this illustration (even without the yellow lines and dots which I added) might contain more elements of "surreal nature" than what you find in Mervyn Peake's illustrations. I like those playful weeds (or animals?) in the lower left corner of Holiday's illustration.
That's not the only thing which that corner has to offer.
Another popular path (not) to understand The Hunting of the Snark has been stated more than three times: Some call Carroll's poem "nonsense". It isn't.
Anyway, I don't think that Holiday failed to convey to us graphically what Carroll meant. The price for his achievement perhaps was that Holiday's illustrations are less eye pleasing than illustrations like Peake's.
Holiday's illustrations are as grotesque as Carroll's poem.

«L.C. forgot that "the Snark" is a tragedy»
Page from a letter (1876-01-04) by C.L. Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) to Henry Holiday about Holiday's illustration to the chapter The Beaver's Lesson. The two lines at the bottom are notes written by Henry Holiday.

I think the note is:
× L.C. forgot that "the Snark" is a tragedy and [should]
on no account be made jovial. h.h.
In the end, Carroll produced a tragicomedy.

Four Ways You Can Save Money On Books
September 26, 2009 by herestrouble · 2 Comments
Filed under: Business, Finance and Investment
Not many people would dispute that Australian consumers get ripped off when buying books.
I first noticed this in the year 2000, when the GST was introduced by the Howard government. I was a university student, and the cost of a single textbook had broken the $100 barrier. It seemed that book prices had virtually doubled overnight. When I asked the manager, I was told that the introduction of the 10% GST and the new accounting procedures added a lot of overhead.
I think that's only a small part of the explanation:
In Australia, four chain bookstores dominate retail book sales: Dymocks, Angus & Robertson, Borders & the Co-op Bookshop. They are traditional walk-in bookshops with large displays, elaborate decorations and many staff. Online book retailing in Australia has not yet reached the mainstream as it is in the USA and Europe.
Also, Australia has controversial laws preventing parallel importation – stores are not allowed to legally sell a cheaply imported book published overseas if the same book has also been published locally. There have been calls to change these laws to allow parallel importation, but I doubt it will reduce prices significantly.
Despite this, there are still many things you can do to avoid overspending on books. Here is a list:

Aspiring Egyptian Book Burner Loses Bid To Head UNESCO
September 24, 2009 by herestrouble · Leave a Comment
Filed under: International News, International Politics, Middle-East Affairs
Long-serving Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosny has lost his bid to become the new Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation – UNESCO. The position was instead won by former Bulgarian Minister Irina Bokova, who received a majority of the final vote 31-27, amongst the 58 delegates.
Farouk Hosni's campaign was hampered by a threat he made in the Egyptian parliament last year to personally burn any Israeli book he found in Egypt's famous Library of Alexandria.
According to the linked article, "Critics also said that Mr Hosni was unfit to be UN guardian of culture because he censored books and films and stifled media freedom to support the authoritarian Egyptian government of Hosni Mubarak".
In true Arab Muslim style, he blamed his election loss on a "Jewish Conspiracy, cooked up in New York".

The Final Word on 2Day FM Shock Jock Kyle Sandilands
Filed under: Australian News
Kyle Sandilands is in the news again, this time for his jibe that Australian TV comedienne Magna Szubanski could lose more weight if she were placed in a concentration camp. He has been suspended from duties at 2Day FM.
I agree that this is offensive for a number of reasons, but should this be another scandal? I say no.
Kyle Sandilands is a SHOCK JOCK – not a diplomat, politician, church leader or anyone with an important public role of responsibility. His job is to say offensive things on radio. Some radio listeners are entertained by his frequently crude and offensive remarks, and that is why he is there.
Whilst I am here, I also commend Magda Szubanski for her achievement of losing 36kg, lowering her weight from 121kg to 85kg – She is a great role model for other obese individuals who want to lose weight.

Young Couple from Queensland to Face Trial For Using Abortion Medicines
Australia is truly regressing backwards. Earlier this week, we had the stupid Liberal MP Scott Morrison tell parliament that pornography is as dangerous as firearms. Now we have this:
A young couple in Queensland, aged 19 and 21 respectively, have been commited to trial for using abortion drugs to 'procure a miscarriage'. The story goes that the police, whilst searching their home for another undisclosed reason, came across the used packaging for the abortion drugs RU486 (Mifepristone) – commonly called the 'Abortion Pill', and Misoprostol. Due to meddling by religious conservatives in parliament, RU486 is not easy to obtain in Australia, even though it is widely available in other countries, including our neighbour New Zealand and most European nations.
Here are some newspaper links that tell the story in depth:
Couple Face Trial for Procuring Miscarriage
Doctors threaten Queensland Abortion Test Case
Queensland Abortion Law to Spark Vexed Debate
One can infer from the above that the Queensland police did not find what they were really looking for during the search, and just so that would not leave empty handed, they came up with another petty reason to charge the couple. Apparently, this is the first prosecution for this offence in 50 years! If convicted, the woman may face up to 7 years prison and her partner may face up to 3 years.
What beefs me even more is that if the couple had gone to a public hospital or private clinic for a surgical abortion, that would have been perfectly legal, but because they took the drugs of their own initiative – obviously because it was faster, cheaper and less traumatic than surgery – they now face prosection.
In my opinion, there is no greatly cruelty than to give birth to an unwanted child who does not have parents with the will or means to look after them. This young couple had mutually agreed to abort their pregnancy and they knew they were not ready. Furthermore, they had the support of both their parents.
In what way does society gain from prosecuting this young couple?

Crazed Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi to tell UN to Abolish Switzerland
September 4, 2009 by herestrouble · Leave a Comment
A year ago, Gaddafi's youngest son, Hannibal Gaddafi, and his wife were arrested in a Geneva luxury hotel after beating two servants with a belt and a coat-hanger.
According to a New York Times article, "Hannibal Gaddafi had previously been busted in France and Italy for beating a woman and fighting a cop, and once for driving drunk down Paris' Champs Elysee at 90 mph – the wrong way."
How do you think Hannibal's dad Muammar reacted? By issuing an apology to the Swiss? By taking some perks away from his son? By paying compensation to the beaten servants?
No, of course not! He reacted like a typical Arab Dictator – he threw a tantrum like a 3-year old boy – that is, a 3 year old boy with money and autocratic power. Gaddafi's regime did the following:
Recalled Libyan diplomats From Switzerland
Suspended visas for Swiss citizens
Withdrew funds from Swiss banks
Blockaded the Tripoli office of the Swiss food company Nestlé
And the Old Arab Favourite trick:
Threatened to cut off oil deliveries to Switzerland.
Oh and also they kept two Swiss businessmen as 'guests' [hostages] until Libya received an apology for poor little Hannibal's arrest.
Now as you can imagine, such financial pressure can even crack most principled of people, especially the Swiss who are known for their love of other people's gold. Two weeks ago, Swiss President Hans-Rudolf Merz travelled to Tripoli to issue a grovelling apology, hoping to pacify madman Gaddafi and get their businessmen back.
In true Arab style, Libya reneged and the businessmen are still there. Now Merz, having made a fool out of himself, is apparently facing calls for his resignation from outraged Swiss citizens.
But that's not all. Gaddafi is still angry as hell and he now plans to demand the dissolution of Switzerland when he next addresses the United Nations. If Gaddafi can sway enough of his fellow Arab, Muslim and African dictatorships, maybe he'll muster a UN majority to pass a Switzerland dissolution resolution.
After all, similar tactics got Taiwan kicked out of the UN in 1971, and get Israel criticised every other week for defending itself from destruction at the hands of its Arab Muslim Neighbours. That'll teach the Swiss who's boss!

So you are a Revenue Manager and are wondering which RMS is for you. You come across different RMSs that tell you that they use Artificial Intelligence and Big Data to give you the best price recommendations.
Weather patterns or airport landings, just to name a couple, are rather noisy. It's not hard to understand why. If your hotel mostly has domestic bookings at a particular time of the year, then it is hard to see how people landing at the airport will affect your demand.
This is just an example, but the key point is that you need to provide your RMS with a lot of data about who comes to your hotel, why and who exactly is getting into the airport to be able to use this type of data successfully.
Every single hotel has a high quality dataset: the booking curves! Those are a clear history of the demand for your hotel at any given time and how much people have paid.
But it is clean, and abundant. This is a good candidate for the use of AI.
There are other good candidates and we will discuss those in our next blog post, which discusses in more details the different types of AI and where in Revenue Management they can be applied.
When someone tells you that they are using AI, ask them why, ask them how they know that the data they are using is not noisy and ask them how much they are helping your bottom line by using those data.

Although there are some very elegant methods of displaying the Ulam spiral in Mathematica, I wanted one that was slightly more general, with the specific goal of making the Ulam spiral for a hexagonal tiling of the plane.
With that in mind, I adopted the following approach: for the standard rectangular tiling of the plane, the spiral consists of concentric 'shells' of points, each shell containing (2n+1)^2 numbers. Consequently finding which shell a given number is in reduces to taking a square root.
The convention being that the origin is the 'zeroth' shell. Next, we count how many squares 'around' the given shell a number is, just given by taking the difference from the shell underneath it.
The method for actually generating the appropriate point comes down to specifying the 'corner' of the shell to start from, and how far along the 'edge' to travel. This is easily determined from the previously determined shell number and 'around' number.
For example, to get the position of 12 in the spiral, we compute that it's in shell 2, so we start at a corner two steps away from the origin. We then compute that it is three steps around this shell, so we travel three steps around the outside.
The first part of the vector specifies the corner to start at, and the second specifies how many steps along the edge to take.
And from there we can generate the ordinary Ulam spiral, or select a starting point, such as p_13=41, which reproduces the rather striking spiral from the wikipedia page on the subject.
And so given an integer, we can again compute which layer it is in, and how many 'around' the layer it goes.
And in an exactly analogous way, we can use these to specify where in a shell a given integer should go. A little more geometry is required to figure out where the 'corners' of each layer are, and how long the sides are, but the situation is essentially the same.
We may also define alternative functions for placing the points. As an example, we may instead have concentric circles of 2m equally spaced points.
Some other elegant examples that are possible include displaying ListPlots with pointsize given by number of factors, spirals of prime squares, cubes, etc.
Hopefully this will enable some people to make elegant and visually pleasing Ulam spirals, and related objects.


Only love can heal his wounds . . .
Gunnery Sergeant Jake Sanders made it through the war in Afghanistan, but he's struggling to survive the peace at home. Still scarred by his experiences overseas, Jake now spends most of his time working out and tending to his brother's bar and grill. He's not looking for a girlfriend and avoids intimate relationships . . . until he meets the bar's gorgeous new manager.
Ex-ballerina Sophie Agnés couldn't take her eyes off Jake the moment she saw him—he was, after all, sleeping half-naked in her new office when she arrived on her first day of work. The chemistry between them is immediate, and soon it's not clear who is seducing whom. But Sophie fears that something is keeping Jake from opening his heart to her. And a man with dark secrets may not be the right man for her after all.
"I do not need to calm down. I need to leave." She tried kicking him again but Jake dodged it.
"Yeah, right. Move, damn it!" She pushed at him with both hands and before she could get any more physical, Jake stopped her. He cuffed her wrists above her head with one hand and pinned her back against the door. The move left only mere inches between their vibrating bodies.
"Sophie, do you need help getting the stuff? Or maybe someone to come along and make sure you don't do anything stupid?" When her eyes narrowed at him, Jake repeated the questions.
The warning he saw in her eyes had him thinking twice about placing that hand on her ribcage and slowly moving it up to mold her breast. It had been so long since he'd felt the pull of a woman that the urge became almost uncontrollable. Almost. With little control left, Jake reminded himself that he really didn't need further complications in his life. Especially, the female kind.
"Would you like me to go along and scare the crap out of him? I don't even have to do anything physical." He saw her processing the information so he added, "It would make up for yesterday. Plus, I won't have to worry about getting a call that you need bail money. That would ruin my day." Without thought, his eyes roamed her curvy body.
By the way she held herself he became certain she'd been a ballerina. Where she rested on her toes, they were pointed. Her body was stretched up farther then would be comfortable for someone without training and she held her head with an unmistakable eloquence.
"Okay," she said with a husky tone. "Now will you please let me go?" When he did, she socked him in the gut with her right fist. Despite his toned abs, the air rushed out of Jake's mouth.
The seriousness in her face was real and Jake found himself too shocked to say a word. Years of training in combat situations and this woman planted a right hook to his gut that he never saw coming.
"Okay, Jake. Let's go." She picked up her purse and sashayed out of the office. Jake stood where he was for a moment processing the fact that a woman just got the best of him. In disbelief he was struck dumb. Empty to all thought except, next time be more alert and thankful she's not the enemy.
Once Rebecca Rose picked up her first romance novel she knew her destiny was typed on those pages. She lives to find romance in ordinary life doing everyday things, by believing you just need to be conscious enough to look for it. While being slightly dyslexic has created some challenges for her, she feels compelled to write about the characters living in her head.
With multiple books out, she is a full-time writer with a nagging muse who even talks obsessively in the car. That is of course, when the voice can get a word in edgewise with her three children and husband of 17 years.

Chrissy Teigen has admitted she likes all of her husband John Legend's exes and has worked with most of them.
The 30-year-old model was shocked when she found out her husband, whom she married three years ago, had a thing for catwalk queens because she assumed he was a "teddy bear" when it came to women but, despite the long list of girls he's dated, she has admitted she's good pals with all of his exes.
She explained: "I didn't know it, but John used to be a notorious modeliser. To me, he was the sweetest teddy bear.
"What's funny is that I get along with everyone he's been with. I end up really liking them.
The loved-up couple met on the set of the 37-year-old singer's music video 'Stereo' in 2007, tied the knot in 2013 in Italy and now have six-month-old daughter Luna together.
But their romance wasn't always plain sailing as the 'All of Me' hitmaker tried to break up with the brunette beauty while he was suffering with a nasty cold at the beginning of their relationship.
John recently admitted that he was terrified about showing his feelings when he first started dating Chrissy and put a "guard up" because he thought he was going to get hurt.

Demons 2/Review
< Demons 2
Revision as of 19:27, 24 January 2021 by JKData (talk | contribs)
This is the first of several sequels to Demons, the 80s Italian horror film. Two key players also return in the form of director Lamberto Bava and co-writer/producer Dario Argento. Subsequently it comes as no surprise that DEMONS 2 also contains the same onslaught of gore, kick-ass 80s soundtrack, illogical sensibilities and WTFness that made the original so popular. They've even brought back actor Bobby Rhodes, albeit as a different character than the memorably pissed-off pimp of the first film.
DEMONS 2 takes the same basic concept -- People fighting off a multiplying horde of demons -- and relocates it from a movie theater to a high-rise apartment complex in an undisclosed German city. Just about everyone in the place (including a ten-year-old Asia Argento in her film debut) are watching the same horror film on their TV sets.
This is where things get a little muddled, so please bare with me here. The movie is supposedly the same one that was screened at the movie theater and helped in unleashing the creatures. However, certain references indicate it actually be taking place in the aftermath of the first DEMONS movie. This would mean that the reality of the original is now the fictional of the sequel with both coming from the same fictional movie. While you chew on that for awhile I'm continue. Don't worry the remainder of DEMONS 2 doesn't require a whole lot more thinking.
In one of the apartments, "drama queen" Sally (Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni) celebrating her sixteenth birthday while her parents are away. Her "teen" (read: mid-to-late 20s) friends are just starting to party-hardy when Sally throws one of many shit-fits and locks herself in her bedroom. They inexplicably attempt to get her to come out and rejoin her shindig. However, on the other side of the door, Sally becomes entranced by the horror movie when a demons bursts out of the T.V., VIDEODROME -style. Next thing you know there is are bloody jelly shoes and skinny ties everywhere...And several of the now-possessed guests stalking the corridors of the building.
As normal tenants struggle for their survival the demons are revealed to have acidic blood (a la ALIEN) that is potent enough to eat through the floors and short circuits the building's security system, sending the place into complete lockdown.
Pretty, pregnant Hannah (Nancy Brilli) finds herself going mono-a-demono with a winged, baby demon whose only reason for even existing was the enormous popularity of GREMLINS a few years prior. Her husband George (David Edwin Knight) arrives and they struggle to figure a way out of the sealed building.
As they make their way down, they come across the clientele of the sub subterranean health spa fighting off the growing horde of demons. Leading the way is the previously mentioned Rhodes, now playing a pissed-off fitness instructor, who unleashes all out war against them in the underground parking lot. The result is a widespread fire, numerous vehicular destruction and a few of the creatures unleashing newfound acrobatic skills.
The couple are able to escape the building through an adjacent T.V. station (Yeah, I don't know either), where Hannah gives birth to a perfectly healthy baby. But what awaits them outside the studio doors, leading out to the world at large?
Comparisons have been made between DEMONS 2 and David Cronenberg's THEY CAME FROM WITHIN/SHIVERS since both share the same concept/scenario (A much better one could be made to the recent-years, Spanish [REC] series). This, however, is purely an apples-and-oranges situation. The former is one of the director's first forays in what would become his recurrent theme of the physical manifestations of horror. Its takes an intelligent, ground film with low-key violence. The latter, on the other hand, is a balls-to-the-wall splatter film with nothing more on its simple, little mind than to entertain...And that it does with such bizarre instances as a possessed dog and the previously mentioned baby demon.
DEMONS 2 also makes for the perfect "Backdrop movie" -- Something that plays during a party in the b.g. that'll occasionally catch the attention of your guests during one of its many moments of cinematic insanity.

The OLD Message Board is available here.
Mr ward before your last fight I was your fan and I always thought u r the great box but my thinking is changed anybody can judge who hited hard and who deserve fight.
Andre, congratulations on your Victory! You outboxed Kovalev. Thank you for your art.
I am a huge fan. I don't have cablend and have to watch this fight. I would prefer to pay for it. Does anyone know how or where I can stream it live?
Praying all is well with you. There is a Bay Area gospel rapper named Lee Majors. He and my son J. White have to CDs on iTunes I believe you will find inspiring– "the Good Life" and "Iron Sharpens Iron" Lee has a rap that reminds me of you everytime I hear it. I can see you coming up from the back entering the ring to this rap. I belive its called "Winners Anthem". How appropriate it would be to have him compliment you with this exhilaratingly powerful and nspiring gospel rap–Oakland iron shapening iron.
Malaika – are you going to be at the fight in Oakland on Saturday or any of the other events?
I was there Dave! I just sent you a link to my article in the Bay View, plus I have a ton of photos. How do I reach out to you? It's been a minute….now that I know where the site is I can check!
do you know if andre is working out where his fans can watch him between June 16 and June 19 and if so, where and when?
ok, thanks Dave. I was hoping to see him shadow box, hit the speed bag, heavy bag, etc. if only for a short time. I know he's done sparring, but was hoping to at least see him show off some of his skills. I can't believe he won't do some form of exercise in the next few days….
I know he had a media only workout earlier today at King's Gym – but I'm not aware of any public workouts in the next day or two. I'm trying to make either the press conference or the weigh-in before the actual fight (which I will definitely be there)….hopefully riding the euphoric high after a Warriors win tonight.
thanks Dave. Andre's fight time is 7 PM, right? My tickets say 3:00, but that must be for prelims. Do you know where the prelim schedule is shown?
Yea, after Andre starting becoming the main attraction at the fights – his actual fight is always towards the end of the event. I haven't see the prelim schedule yet – I'll be sure to post it here once I do.
Just wanted to say I think you set the bar (in and outside the ring) for boxing and what it stands for. You were my dad's favorite boxer until he lost his battle to cancer in May. You're pound for pound the best – keep it up!!!!
And also, NY coverage of Andre Ward would be superb!
Dave: When I click on Andre Ward's official web site link, it keeps coming back saying 'This account has been suspended.' What's going on?
There is a smallish typo underneath the 3rd photo: It was a stunning left hook to Dawson' temple, not a short chopping right. I felt it all the way up in the ceiling where I was assigned to sit by the Magna Media people that have taken over from the former PR company.
I did however, take and submit to my editor for consideration, a series of photos in which it seemed that Dawson literally 'blocked with his head,' walking into short chopping right hand punches from Andre Ward on the inside. He did this more than once. These, I call 'face plant' punches, which is really a very rude way of saying that someone saw a punch coming, and couldn't do squat about it, so they blocked w/ their head or face. This is bad. In boxing, when you start seeing punches coming and not being able to avoid them, it is time for a career change.
My personal opinion is that Mr. Dawson should consider a lifestyle change; maybe become a ringside announcer, or something else, if he stays in the boxing profession.
Don't get me wrong: I am very staunchly and unswervingly an Andre Ward fan. Period. Forever. However I also do know, and can see what I'm looking at, so to speak.
From the first, I was very seriously concerned about Mr. Dawson's health. This was from the moment I first saw him at a press conference in Oakland, something that hasn't ever happened before when I've seen Dre's opponents. So I started looking for some of Dawson's fights on You Tube, and have yet to be impressed. Andre Ward picked him apart at 168 lbs. If he ever moves up in weight, and Dawson is still light heavyweight champion, I'm not sure that Dawson will come out of the exchange in one piece, or sane. Because remember, Andre Ward is naturally an inside fighter, and inside is exactly where you're supposed to be when fighting an opponent w/ longer reach and taller size. In my pre-fight article, 'Ward fever,' I predicted that Chad Dawson had a problem that he didn't know about yet, and its name was Andre Ward. It seems that was very very true – more true even than I knew.
Malaika – thanks for posting this. I've also added a link on our latest post. This is a heck of a time for Bay Area sports right now, eh? What a story with Andre, the A's and the 49ers – not to mention the Giants. All looking very strong. I have a reporter who might be able to get some coverage for Andre in the NY Times – looking into that now.
Malaika – sorry for late reply – I've been on the road almost nonstop since mid August. With the switch of PR companies – it became more difficult to secure a decent spot to cover the fight. I applied 2x but was denied both times – feel free to list the fan site as one of your outlets when you apply for Andre's next fight. I'll try to reach out to him re this as well.
My article, Ward fever, was written prior to the weigh-in. Both fighters weighed in at 168, so Chad Dawson made weight – which is good. This means that we will not hear any post-fight, weight related excuses.
If you ll want to be a legendary champion of the world challenge BUTE..! He want you..!!
This is essentially the same article that I posted this morning. There is a change in my information at the end.
ANDRE IM AN ADVANCED FAN.YOU ARE A TOP FIGHTER IN MY STUDIES.ALTHOUGH YOU ARE SLIGHTLY LIGHTER,YOU WILL FIGHT ISMAYL SILLAKH.THIS IS MY CHOICE FIGHT.IT WILL BE A DIFFICULT TASK.I SO MUCH LOOK FOWARD TO MY CHOICE BOUT AND THANK YOU FOR THE JOY YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME AS A FAN SO FAR.
Eddie – yes, its inspirational when you have such fighter such as Andre who is so humble – letting his actions speak for themselves rather than words. Great fight tonight – no question about it.
I felt proud of you and greater yet, you are the best thing to happen for american boxing since the greatest Ali. I am should you will being dignity back to the sport of boxing. Now, rest and set your targets on the two want to be warriors that keep avoiding each other. Thank you again for that outstanding performance.
So postponing the fight against Froch…for no valid reason. Afraid huh? You're right…you should be…you just don't have the class.
Fighting dirty in and out of the ring…just ask Kessler…shame on you!
ward is a great fighter, great fighters go down in history. Big mouths like froch are forgotten after fighters like ward shut there mouths. Froch is pumping himself up for the fight on October29th, let me say this now. I hope and pray ward puts you to sleep.
Thanks Malaika – nice article as always. We will see you in Vegas – (hopefully at the MGM as Ward wants!).
Love your work, stay focused stay humble… Congrats Champ!!!!
poor fight against abraham, a god champion dont take this dirty way to fight. that dont be boxing, only streetfighting.
Whose going to the Ward – Abraham fight at the Home Depot Center in Carson?
Malikia – sounds good. I'v been abroad for the past 2 months and just saw your comment. Finally had to implement an anti-spam plugin for the site – was getting too crazy.
Let us know the URL of your photograpy site once its live.
Yea, I hope to make the next fight – still waiting to hear where….
Thankyou andre and family for your powerful example as christians. I lead a small group of boys at Crosspoint church in modesto,ca., and your name always comes up, mainly from me. The way that you fight and the words that you say have been very humbling to me and very inspirational. In my prayers, I will continue to lift you and your family up hopefully as much as your lives have lifted the rest of us. Thanks to God for the Ward Family!!!!
Thanks David, for posting my article!
But I definitely want to continue to follow Dre's career – and that means being able to get to fights, press conferences, training sessions – and being able to keep my (first ever) ringside spot!
I look forward to meeting you at the next fight – as soon as we find out where it is going to be!
My brother in the faith of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Brother Ward I love your Spirit, and how you always give God the glory. May God continue to keep and Bless you my brother.

The Waking Up Courage Bystander Education Program (WUCBE) aims to decrease sexual assault, the abuse of alcohol and other drugs, hazing, harassment and cyber-bullying on college and university campuses. The goal is to over time, create positive change to the social norms that often guide and influence student attitudes and actions.
Social norms change is best accomplished by empowering student leaders with the confidence and competence to safely and effectively speak up and intervene when they become aware of hurtful and harmful incidents.
Students see, hear and know things that adults don't; they're typically on the scene of incidents when they're happening or still "in the act"; and they have the social capital to influence their peers in positive ways. They are, in fact, the most powerful, and most under-utilized, change agents that administrators can align with.
The WUCBE package utilizes many of the principles and elements of the evidenced-based, NREPP-listed Safe School Ambassador Program (SSA), which has been implemented in nearly 2000 schools, and resulted in decreased incidents, suspensions and expulsions.
WUCBE embodies the necessary elements required for systemic and measureable improvements in school climate and how students treat each other. Data collection regarding the frequency and activity levels of the students, and the analysis of incident reductions associated with their speaking up, goes a long way in building "buy-in" and sustaining the program over time.
An important feature of the WUCBE program is the process used for identifying, enrolling and selecting diverse and socially-influential student leaders, who represent a range of social groups throughout the campus.
In the training sessions, these leaders gain a deeper understanding of the impact and the consequences of bystander behavior, as well as, learning why it's important to support friends and peers in making healthy and positive choices.
The students participate in role-plays to learn safe and effective intervention techniques that allow them to retain status and credibility while speaking up and promoting healthier decisions.
The specific communications skills they learn, include; distracting, reasoning – which helps an aggressor "think" about the consequences before acting, supporting those being targeted, getting appropriate help, and exiting techniques for safely leaving uncomfortable or risky situations.
Throughout the year, small group meetings are held to provide support and supervision of the students, to collect input on the number and types of interventions being done, and to allow time for coaching and trouble-shooting.
Over time, student interventions create a shift in attitudes, and change the school norms so that these mean-spirited behaviors will no longer be supported in the student culture.
• Decreasing need and reducing costs of disciplinary actions, intervention services and other high cost remedies.
• Resources and tools for data collection, measuring progress and compiling annual reports.
Prices for services are determined by the scope of the work. Contact Community Matters for more information.

Ecuador declares emergency after 22 persons were killed in prison riots
Ecuador has declared a state of emergency in its penitentiary system after riots at two prisons left 22 dead and 57 wounded.
Authorities said violence erupted on Wednesday afternoon at the country's two largest prisons Litoral Penitentiary in the port city of Guayaquil and the Latacunga prison in the central Cotopaxi region.
Police contained the rioting and regained control of the two sites after nine officers and 59 inmates were injured, according to officials.
In Cotopaxi, "high-caliber firearms" and explosives were used during the riots, Governor Oswaldo Coronel said.
Some 78 prisoners were recaptured following an escape attempt at Latacunga, police said.
Alexandra Vela, a government minister, said a police officer was sexually assaulted amid the chaos.
Gustavo Larrea, a former interior minister, said clashes were between crime groups linked to drug trafficking. Larrea said the gangs had "relative control" in the prisons and sought to control illegal operations on the outside.
Last night, Ecuador President Guillermo Lasso issued a decree "to mobilize all necessary human and economic resources to re-establish order" in the country's prisons.
The military will be in charge of controlling the prison from the outside and police will handle the inside, Lasso said.
"I want to tell the mafias that try to intimidate this country that they are wrong," Lasso said. "They are wrong if they think our hand is going to shake. We are going to use all our legal powers to impose the rule of law and guarantee peace and human rights in prisons in Ecuado

North Korea to Expel US Citizen Detained for Illegally Entering State
by Rogelio Becker
in Culture
— Nov 19, 2018
"But to maintain its role in the North Korea issue, it may try to use its influence over Pyongyang without overstepping, in making the North return to the negotiation table with Washington", he added.
North Korea has chose to deport a U.S. citizen detained for illegally entering the country, its state media reported on Friday. Sweden handles consular issues for US citizens in North Korea.
According to NPR, "North Korea's official KCNA news agency identified the American as Bruce Byron Lowrance and said that he had told his captors that he was controlled by the CIA".
The KCNA did not say exactly when the man would be released. He died not long after, on June 19, 2017.
As worldwide sanctions on North Korea remain intact, China is Pyongyang's sole major ally and a key economic lifeline for the isolated country.
He was detained in January 2016 in Pyongyang on his way home from North Korea. Warmbier and other previous American detainees in the North were imprisoned over a variety of alleged crimes, including subversion, anti-state activities and spying.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday expressed appreciation for the co-operation of North Korea and the embassy of Sweden - which handles consular issues for USA citizens in North Korea - "in facilitating the release of an American citizen".
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, attending a Southeast Asian summit in Singapore, cited the "great progress" made on North Korea but said more had to be done.
Julian Assange charged in US
Throughout that time , the United States has refused to say whether there are any sealed charges against Assange. The Washington Post reported that charges have been drawn up for Mr Assange but it is not clear on what grounds.
Often it takes a high-profile American official to travel to the country and ask for the captive's release.
The weapon does not appear to be a nuclear device or a long-range missile that could target the mainland USA; however, any mention of weapons testing could impact now stalled diplomatic talks between Washington and Pyongyang that aim to rid the North of its nuclear arsenal. South Korean claimed this was "nothing new", and President Donald Trump claimed to have already known about the bases.
Mattis was particularly criticized comments made at a joint news conference last month, when he said the USA military's goal was to ensure the country's diplomats speak to the North from a "position of strength".
"This is sort of like the North Korean version of military reform", said Choi Kang, vice president of the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul.
The North Korean soldier who defected to the South in a hail of bullets a year ago is a general's son but says most Northerners of his age have no loyalty to Kim Jong Un, according to a Japanese newspaper.
The climate changed dramatically early in January when Kim Jong-un began his "charm offensive", based on North Korea's participation in the Olympics games in Seoul, South Korea. If true, the findings are not surprising; the North has not yet agreed to halt development of nuclear weapons or missiles, although it has staged no tests since the summit. Trump said in September that sanctions will remain in effect against North Korea until denuclearization takes place.
Trump and Kim are both interested in another summit, but it's unclear when it might happen.

Americans go to war, Part II (Bouchercon 2013 panels)
Last month I noted a motif common to John Lawton's Bluffing Mr. Churchill (also published as Riptide) and James R. Benn's Billy Boyle: Each features a young American bewildered by wartime London.
Three weeks later I learned I'd be moderating a panel at Bouchercon 2013 of which Lawton and Benn will be members, along with Susan Elia MacNeal, whose Mr. Churchill's Secretary features a young American woman who winds up working for Churchill in 1940.
I'll ask all three authors why they chose to thrust three Americans, all young, into wartime London. In the meantime, I'll ask you: Why do you think Lawton, Benn, and MacNeal made the choice they did? What are the attractions of the innocents abroad theme? What are your favorite stories, crime or otherwise, of Americans abroad in wartime? Why do you like those stories?
James R. Benn, John Lawton, and Susan Elia MacNeal will be part of my "World War II and Sons" panel at Bouchercon 2013 in Albany, N.Y., on Thursday, Sept. 19, at 4:00 p.m.
Labels: Bouchercon, Bouchercon 2013, conventions, James R. Benn, John Lawton, Susan Elia MacNeal, War, World War II
Kelly Robinson said...
I can't think of a single thing I've read that involves an American abroad during a war. Surely there's something? This will keep me awake tonight.
A Farewell to Arms comes to mind. MacNeal's novel lays more stress so far on its protagonist's role as a woman in wartime than an American abroad, but still ... It has been so many years since a war was fought on American soil that the theme of an American thrust into war has to be attractive to writers. Think of all the political, political, and historical territory an author can make it cover.
adrian mckinty said...
It seems to me that the reasons are entirely commercial. Its the same reason why they had Steve McQueen, James Garner and James Coburn in The Great Escape. WW2 sells and young Americans caught up in WW2 sell even more...
I'm surprised no one's thought of setting a mystery novel at Auschwitz. Our culture is certainly vulgar enough to do such a thing.
Jim Benn said...
Adrian - While you are correct that Hollywood has inserted Yanks into WWII flicks where they had no proper role - that's Hollywood. I'm an American writing from an American perspective. We did actually do a fair bit of fighting and dying in both World Wars. I think the more interesting question may be why there are no similar novels written by English writers featuring a young Brit sleuth amidst the war. Perhaps since the sun never set on the British Empire, there was nowhere for an English innocent to be abroad?
Adrian, wait until you hear about J. Robert Janes' Kohler and St. Cyr novels, which pair a Surete and Gestapo officer solving crimes in occupied France. I shied away from the books for years until Janes wound up on my Bouchercon panel. I don't know if his novel Tapestry, which I've just read, is vulgar, but its Paris is literally and morally the darkest setting for crime fiction I have ever read.
As for Americans in World War II, Yankee movie stars tossing a ball in prison may be stretch, but Jim Benn's Billy Boyle is on Eisenhower's staff, and Eisenhower was based in London from the summer of 1942. Eisenhower gets named Supreme Allied Commander for North Africa, and Billy Boyle winds up there. So, if the novels have a touch of fancy to them, they're at least erected on a framework of plausibility, I think.
Jim, John Lawton, who will join us on the panel, has Frederick Troy, and Englishman of Russian descent, working for Scotland Yard in wartime London. But the war is just part of a swath of English social history that covers 1938 to 1963 in his Troy novels (and I expect we'll discuss that in Albany, too.)
Carlo Lucarelli's De Luca novels have an Italian police officer trying to make his way in postwar Italy, but neither these nor Lawton's books have anything like a Billy Boyle. I expect you're right about the reason for this.
I think its a very smart commercial move. WW2 resonates as the last good war and if the History Channel is a reliable judge of popular taste the Nazis are, apparently, endlessly fascinating.
I know that some day I'll open a publishers envelope and find myself being asked to review a book about Anne Frank, Detective! It's inevitable.
Adrian, you'll be happier when I get to Martin Limón, who sets his military mysteries in Korea in the 1970s.
I thought a little Googling would jog my memory of books about Americans abroad in Wartime Europe, but it didn't. I can think of several scebnes in British films and television with Americans wandering haplessly into the scene--usually botching things up and causing some murder to ensue, but I haven't remembered anything yet where the Yank was actually the protagonist. Unless we're counting Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, et al.
So James Benn, Susan MacNeal and John Lawton may be mining an untapped vein here.
Well, I mentioned A Farewell to Arms, and we know about J.D. Salinger. Benn is about eight books into his series, and the beginning of the first makes it appears that the American might be wandering helplessly onto the scene, with a chip on his shoulder, no less. It's a good beginning.
Lawton is little different because he's English, for one thing (thought he has lived in the U.S.), and the young American in Bluffing Mr. Churchill figures as an older American elsewhere in the series, and because he's not the central character in the series. The American abroad theme is less to the fore in Lawton's books, that is.
There's also a very short series featuring a German military detective, by Ben (Verbena) Pastor. Lumen was the first title; very well done.
Dana King said...
Staying away from what other books come to mind--nine do--I can think of another couple of reasons this kind of story has potential. Americans in England during the war had an external pressure normal visitors don't: the war. Add this to the fact that, military and English law notwithstanding, the family and social restraints many of these soldiers would feel have been lifted by distance. Their acts, and their reactions to others, may be quite a bit different than what would happen at home.
The same is true of anyone placed in a friendly foreign country during war, though the American-British crossover has the added implications of a shared language (for the most part), and customs that are alike enough to seem identical, yet different enough to cause unintended issues.
James Benn has been on my radar for a while; I'm looking forward to seeing thi panel.
Jim: I think there are two books in that series now, and the has written many more books than that, I just found out. Thanks.
Dana, I think all three authors make use of that odd situation of an American in England: that of being home and in a foreign country at the same time.
And I like the image of your having a war novelist on your radar.
Enjoying the Billy Boyle series, as we've discussed 9but you must have an ARC of A Blind Goddess as it's not due out until next month.
MacNeal's Mr. Churchill's Secretary was fun too but Princess Elizabeth's Spy disconcertingly identifies Poland as the country betrayed with "peace for our time".
Nope, I have a finished, hardcover copy of Blind Goddess. As for MacNeal and Poland, I have not read that book, but Polish military and political figures play an interesting subsidiary role in several crime novels. In Jason Goodwin's late-Ottoman-era books, the character Palewski is the diplomatic representative of a country that no longer exists. And Billy Boyle as a Polish sidekick, too.
Peter, James
Listened to Billy Boyle goes to N Ireland (book 4?) on audiobook yesterday while I was preparing the house for the landlord's annual inspection. My annual waking nightmare. The book overcame my initial scepticism fairly quickly and was an excellent read. Highly recommended.
I discovered in my book log that I read the John Lawton book some time ago and I thought that was pretty good too. (I gave it an A).
The publisher is sending me Ms Macneal's book and I'll get back to you when I've read that.
Annual landlord's inspection?
I am never moving to Australia.
Jim, you'll not get a more hard-earned compliment than that you've just got from Adrian. He combines the dour disposition of an Ulster Presbyterian with the the skepticism of a man of the world, skepticism reserved especially for depictions by outsiders of Northern Ireland. Treasure your McKinty Prize.
Adrian, I hope your house passed the inspection. If not, send your new address.
Seana: If there were landlord inspections in America, I'd have vacillated between homelessness and homeownership years ago.
Actually, in Santa Cruz there is an ordinance that says the city has the right to inspect all rental units. It's supposed to protect against bad landlords, but the only two cases that I've heard mainly had a very bad effect on the tenants. Like, they got booted out through no fault of their own.
Tonight I've got some kind of mysterious racket going on somewhere nearby which sounds like I'm living next door to a drive in movie. If I had to leave here abruptly, it wouldn't be the worst thing. Not that I'd enjoy the hassle.
Yikes! I hope the situation has a satisfactory, inspection-free solution. I generally oppose upheaval.
Well, since my unit already went through a huge upheaval this spring it will probably be okay. But the renter's life in Santa Cruz has always been sort of provisional.
Sounds like Zenlike detachment in practice as opposed to in theory is called for.
Yeah, I've never been any good at that all.
I suspect that sort of attitude comes more easily to those who have little need of it.
Peter, I will be framing Adrian's comment along with your description of dourness & skepticism. My reader base, right there.
Clarification: in Princess Elizabeth's Spy, one of the bad guys vents about the betrayal of Poland. Too true, but not when the Munich 'peace for our time' agreement was announced. That was Czechoslovakia. Not a good mistake in an historical novel.
Dour skeptics are an important demographic, I guess.
Liz: Got it. My desire to think the best of my fellow human makes me want to read the book to see if there's some reason she had the character say what he did.
Does this make me a dour skeptic too?
Neither, I would guess.

Hepatitis A spreads when someone comes in contact with an infected person's feces — sometimes when hands are not properly washed after going to the bathroom or by changing diapers. The virus can then spread through food, objects, sex or sharing drug paraphernalia.
The city of San Diego has responded to the emergency by power-washing streets and installing hand-washing stations. The city says it will open an encampment for the homeless equipped with tents, showers, restrooms, food security and social services.
Santa Cruz County has distributed nearly 1,400 doses of vaccine, However, more cases are likely because it can take up to 50 days for infected people to show symptoms, said Jessica Randolph, the county's public health manager.
"I don't think the worst is over," she told the Times.
