And at what cost? "Facebook friendship and Twitter chatter are displacing real rapport and real conversation, just as Gutenberg's device displaced remembering," he writes. Never mind that Gutenberg's device made the existence of The New York Times possible.
Why did Keller write this piece? Why does he keep writing these inane columns, despite the withering criticism he gets every time? He's starting to make his motives clearer: Bill Keller actually loves the Internet. He loves the Internet the same way he loves Arianna Huffington. The same way he loves WikiLeaks. He loves the Internet because he needs it.
Keller the editor is sentimental. The world is changing, and the Times hasn't caught up. That probably strikes some fear in his heart. But Keller the columnist is merely desperate. As soon as he decided to have a voice, he found he had nothing to say. So he shouted.
He's a good newspaper editor, no doubt about it. You cannot oversee the most influential newspaper in the country and not be one. But as a columnist, he isn't doing his staff any favors.

Pillars of Eternity: Hazels are venomous
David Stark / Zarkonnen
30 Mar 2015, 4:34 p.m.
There was a Twitter discussion yesterday about a transphobic joke in the recent Obsidian game Pillars of Eternity. Here's is my attempt to convince you that transphobic details in fiction are a problem.
The joke, written by a game backer, is a tombstone reading "The last woman he bedded, turned out a man, and crying in shame, off a cliff he ran." It's an instance of the idea that trans people are "traps" for unwary men to fall into and be shamed. And let me be clear: this idea kills people. Not in the way it's told in the joke, though. It kills trans people, murdered by men, or driven to suicide by the world around them.
OK, but it's fiction. Bad stuff happens in fiction, and we're sophisticated enough to tell the difference. When a protagonist uses heavy weaponry to solve problems, or gets into a creepy but sexy relationship, we understand that this is fun exactly because it's a made-up world where this stuff isn't a horribly bad idea.
But stories about how the world works, even in fiction, still reinforce the power of those stories, exactly because they're not marked as the fictional bits. Pillars of Eternity is a fantasy game about the fiction of heroism and magical healing potions. Most things still work exactly like in the real world, though. Mugs still hold liquids. Gravity still points down. People still require food, and don't photosynthesize.
Intentionally ridiculous analogy time! Let's say there's a stubborn folk belief that people with hazel eyes are venomous. They supposedly have little fangs, and their bites cause paralysis and death. As a result, they tend to get killed on sight. This belief is utterly false, and there's been an increasing push in recent decades to stop anti-hazel violence.
Now there's a fantasy game with a tombstone of some guy who died from a hazel bite. The fantasy game isn't about eye colur. It's about heroism and magic. The idea of hazels being venomous is treated the same as the idea that mugs hold liquids. It's not part of the fictional bits that differ from the real world.
This has two effects. There's a background reinforcement of the idea that hazel-venom is "the way the world is". Sure, you might have seen the posters and the news items and the impassioned rants. But in the rest of your life, the hazel-venom idea is still repeated in this off-hand manner. Would you really want to be alone with one of them? Maybe not, just to be on the safe side.
The other effect, of course, is that reading this tombstone is a kick in the teeth if your eyes are hazel. It's yet another reminder of how most people still believe you're venomous, of how you have to be careful on the streets at night, of having to wear those bloody brown-coloured contact lenses and hope that they never slip at the wrong moment. Of your hazel-eyed friend who went on holiday and never came back.
The bits of fiction that aren't clearly fictional reinforce what the real world is assumed to be like. When these assumptions are dangerously wrong, people do get hurt by fiction.
Notes: The analogy is intentionally a bit silly and not meant to set up an equivalence or diminish the suffering of trans people. I'm not trans, but did get this essay reviewed by trans people I know. I do have hazel eyes. Comments are on right now, but note my moderation policy is anything but subtle.

Two adorable books by Liesbet Slegers made their way to my home. The first, Bathing, shows the cute little boy getting ready for his bath, washing up, having his hair washed, and playing with his toy boat until it's time to get dried off. This is an excellent board book to encourage your toddler to make his or her way to the bath and have fun doing it.
The second book, Playing, features the same smiling toddler playing with a variety of toys: his car, his blocks, his ball, his drum, his book, and his wagon, which he uses to stack up all his toys in and wheel them away. This book inspires imagination and encourages the youngest of kids to help clean up.
Both of these books is geared toward toddlers 12 months and up. They were first published in Belugim and Holland, then translated for an American audience. What I enjoyed about reading these two is that it reminded me of when my girls were younger and simple books such as these could mean so much to them. Both girls grew up on a variety of board books, which helped them appreciate reading early on.
The illustrations in each book are silly and sweet with bright colors. Even though these books are too young for both my daughters, the Lil Princess (7) enjoyed reading them a couple of times. They reminded her how far she has come in her reading.

Occasionally you can get the attack commands to work, but if you have a lot of forces, you can't see all of your wings or theirs.
There is an adaptable strategy that Watch Tv and Imperium used called Shield and Hammer, this is where you attack with one fleet with another fleet arriving in the next turn. At appx. 10-15 seconds before the arrival of the second fleet you attack with the first. This means the defensive forces are in combat fighting the first fleet when the second arrive and get chewed up by the second fleet. The strategy works best with millions of ships though.
Another tactic to use is multiple fleets, it is very difficult for the defense A.I. and you can normally use attack controls to change orbits at least.
welcome new players! :] ! there is a guide somewhere in this forum..
Dumb question but don't seem to see the answer in the guide... how do I cancel/reset an individual trade route or for an entire planet?
In the center of the trade route, click the node and on the bottom right hand portion of the screen click stop trade. To reset simply re-establish the desired trade route.
Also, why did you abdicate already? You made more progress in One day than I have seen most players be able to accomplish.
Not very zoomable, but it gives you a good idea to the state of the galaxy circa 4149.
Ahh, I kept on trying to do it from within a planet's 'Import From' interface and it was driving me insane!!! I'm just experimenting with mechanics for now.. whelped my entire fleet against some AI defenses just to see how I'd fare. After I get back from my long vacation in mid September, I'll go for a permanent seed. For right now just testing things out and then re-spawning. Hope that's okay.
Is there a much higher percentage of "good" planets in Anacreon 3, or did I just join so late in the Era that many have progressed substantially?
Do any planets have bonuses for shipbuilding, component autofacs, etc., or do you simply tend to choose large planets without abundant resources?
Depending on how you play, all planets are valuable in some way. Planet population and tech level (TL) both contribute to production levels and TL directly affects population. You can increase TL of a planet with a foundation world or locally built tech buildings.
Some planets are penalized in some areas or have a bonus in others, mostly dealing with food production. Beyond that, planet types have a range of qualities available for each resource, so you will notice some resources' abundant setting is only available on certain world types.
Once you have a trade route set up, clicking the dot in the middle of the route not only lets you cancel the route, but you can click on any cargo listed and set a percentage of demand for the supplier to try to fill (by default, all routes supplying a cargo add up to 100% and split evenly among suppliers).
I too played the original and v2 of Anacreon back in the day, happy to see another old-schooler join the forums.
Anyone had diplomatic contact with RAG? Looks like he's the other new player on the map, aside from a couple throwaway empires. Also doesn't look like you guys are building ramjets.. is this primarily because of the nebula constraint or because they are just bad value compared to high tier jumpships?
The Ramjets are broken this time around for some reason. Maybe someone else has figured out why. As far as bonus' go, there are production bonuses on the Earth-like/Ocean/Underground worlds. I think the specific numbers are in the manual, but specifics are definitely in the forum discussions from a year or two ago.
I've been on vacation the past week and not had much time for Anacreon. I let my neighbors know that I'd be away for awhile. I logged on today and found that RAG has captured independent planets within 50-100 LY of my SW capital. I am NOT interested in an all-out war as I'm still on vacation, but I felt the need to protect my borders. I did a first-strike attack on the encroaching planets as well as his nearby capital and jumpship yard planets to prevent a quick retaliation.
In return, RAG agrees not to expand east of Hamchoi Planet or designate a capital east of HENGEHEIM. Likewise, I agree not to expand west of Hamchoi Planet or designate a capital west of SW Capital.
I will not be attacking any more planets for 24 hours or until I have heard a response from RAG or been attacked. I am currently in good standing with AelionRisen and Crystalline Federation but do not foresee the need for their intervention unless this becomes an all-out war.
We, of Aelion Risen, do hereby commit to information exchange with all fledgling empires. However, military aid will only be given for the purpose of protecting imperial interests.


Quit your job, sell your belongings, buy an RV, and use your remaining money to fund your search for definitive evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Travel to UFO hotspots around the country, interview eyewitnesses, and camp out at reported alien abduction sites. One night, after years of fruitless seeking, scream your frustrations out into the darkness. Plead with the stars for the barest hint of a crumb of proof. Weep bitter tears, but never stop believing. Watch the skies and wait. Wait forever.


For a committed vegetarian, it is an odd hangout. Located in one of North London's most desirable neighbourhoods, Meat N16 has long been the go-to butcher for trendy Islingtonians who want to know exactly what goes into their sausages.
Yet visitors to the independent meat market on Stoke Newington Church Street are growing surprisingly familiar with the sight of one among their number. Keen to escape the "pressure cooker" of the office, Jeremy Corbyn has increasingly taken to visiting the millennial-packed tea room next door to have selfies taken with his adoring public.


With the launch of the new headset QH-90, premium gaming gear provider QPAD aims to broaden the experience for all gamers by bringing Hi-Fi to the gaming scene!
is not uncommon to see people spending thousands of dollars on top-notch computers with all the latest graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, mice and what not, then plugging in a no-name headset, thinking no more of it. In doing so, they are depriving themselves from a huge part of the magic created by game studios and producers. The audial dimension of gaming matters, and we at QPAD truly believe that a good portion of all audio-depraved gamers out there will be blown away by the gaming experience when using a good pair of headphones, such as the QPAD QH-90.
Of course, you will need a headset capable of reproducing all nuances and frequencies. The Hi-Fi capability of the new QPAD QH-90 will not only open a world of magical sounds for you, it can also give you an advantage in many games. The QH-90 is not just a headset, they are a pair of hi-fi capable headphones equipped with a premium microphone. The QH-90:s are designed with closed cups, and thus less leakage. They produce a somewhat more pronounced bass, and crispy, clear highs, but with slightly softer mids.


Police have arrested 24 secondary and primary school students for allegedly engaging in immoral behaviour during a pre-Christmas party in Taita Taveta County.
The students aged between 13 and 23 were dressed improperly, police said.
They were allegedly drunk and disorderly during the riverbank party near Dembwa trading centre on Mwatate-Wundanyi Road.
Mwatate OCPD Monica Kimani said the boys and girls were from different schools. They were smoking bhang and cigarettes, chewing muguuka, drinking alcohol and engaging in immoral behaviour.
The police said officers were tipped by the public.
Briefing The Standard on the incident, Kimani said there were eight girls and 16 boys at the time of the arrest.
"We have remanded the students. Some of them come from well-off families," she said.
"The girls were wearing provocative dresses. We found some of them in a compromised situation," the officer said.
Kimani said the suspects will be charged in court once investigations are completed.
"We cannot allow such behaviour to continue. Parents should ensure they protect their children during school holidays."
The police officer said the students' parents thronged the Mwatate Police Station to have their children released.
"We are taking the students to court and there will be no compromise."
The arrest comes barely after police rounded up and arrested scores of students who were drunk and disorderly in a bar in Taveta town this year.

Ireland beat Australia in opening game of Women's Rugby World Cup
Ireland beat Australia in dramatic opening game of Women's Rugby World Cup at UCD
Ireland and France share top spot in Pool C after first round of matches
Ireland next play Japan on Sunday at UCD Bowl
Ireland opened their 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup campaign with a tightly fought 19-17 win over Australia at the UCD Bowl.
The Irish, who are ranked number five in the world, were first to put points on the board when Larissa Muldoon crossed the line in the 20th minute. Fly-half Nora Stapleton converted to give Ireland a 7-0 lead but Australia replied with a try minutes later.
The score came from 23-year-old debutant Mahalia Murphy. A quick lineout from the Wallaroos led to the ball being swept across the pitch to the rugby sevens regular. Sidestepping Ireland's number 14, she kept out of distance of the chasing defence to score 28 minutes into her senior international career.
A missed conversion meant Ireland went into the half-time break 7-5 ahead but Australia took the lead in the 58th minute after several impressive carries brought them close to the Irish line. Captain Shannon Parry picked and put the ball down to stun the UCD Bowl. Another missed two-pointer left Ireland only three points behind.
The hosts fought back, retaking the lead with two tries and one conversion in the 62nd and 70th minute. The scorers were indicative of the strength of Ireland's squad, as second-half replacements Ciara Griffin and Sophie Spence put Ireland 19-10 up going into the final 10 minutes.

An Australian try and conversion with six minutes to go made for a nervous final few minutes for the players and supporters as the sun began to set on University College Dublin.
But that only made the roars louder when Stapleton kicked the ball into touch to end the game and open Ireland's 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup journey with a dramatic win.

"While the girls did a lot of good things, there were areas that we need to tighten up on. We have to do that against Japan," Ireland coach Tom Tierney told RTÉ.
"That's going to be a different proposition again. We have to be more clinical, especially at the breakdown where physically we were under pressure against the Australians."
Ireland has two remaining games in Pool C. They first face Japan on Sunday, August 13 (kick-off 17.15) and then take on France on Thursday, August 17 (kick-off 19.45). Both matches will take place in the UCD Bowl.

Clearly this is a tricky thread-safety issue. In the insert and remove methods I'm locking around array access to prevent concurrent modification, as recommended.
[myTextField setStringValue:[[[myFactory widgets] objectAtIndex:7] name]]; // mildred? or something else?
Since the objects in your array are not locked, you could run into race conditions or readers/writers-type problems. Isn't multithreading a joy?
On a different note, for KVC-compliance, I'd advise implementing objectInWidgetsAtIndex: and countOfWidgets instead of a widgets accessor. Remember, KVC models relationships, not array properties. So you would call something like [myFactory mutableArrayValueForKey:@"widgets"] to get an array representing the widgets property.
alex's comment about access to contained objects still apply.
You will need locking on all reading and writing methods. If your insert and remove are also locking (like you said) then the accessor method should be fine like that.

With todays scientific research confirming links between oral health and overall health we strive to provide you with the most up to date dental health information and services. Our goal is to offer our patients optimal dental care while working to maintain their excellent overall health and well being.
For more than 25 years, we've been providing friendly, professional care for the whole family -- from babies and toddlers straight through to teens and adults.
If you want a healthy, strong smile, preventive dentistry is key. Furthermore, current health research confirms the link between oral health and total body health.
Many people suffer from tooth sensitivity which can effect what you eat, drink and even how you clean your teeth. This sensitivity also called Dentin Hypersensitivity can be caused by hot, cold, sweet and sour foods, and even tooth brushing.
Looking for a filling, crown, inlay, onlay, or bridge? Talk to Avenue Dental about how easy it is to repair and restore your smile. We'll work with you to determine the best option for your needs.
Are you proud of your smile? If not, why not? Ask us about fixing a gap, repairing a chipped or misshaped tooth, or completely overhauling your smile.
Our enamel darkens as we age, and consuming coffee, tea, pop, and red wine only speeds up that process. But we can lighten and brighten your teeth by 6-10 shades in a single visit.
We typically see patients between the ages of 17 and 25 coming in to complain about wisdom teeth pain and frequent headaches, and we sympathize -- these oversized teeth can cause a lot of discomfort!
These simple titanium implants are secured into your jawbone. Once we've attached a custom crown, you're left with a comfortable tooth that feels and looks like a natural part of you.
We understand that some of our patients feel tense when they think about undergoing a filling or root canal, and we want to do everything we can to make them feel comfortable.
You wear a seatbelt when you drive a vehicle, and a helmet when you ride a bike, so don't forget to treat your teeth with the same level of caution.
If you're a snorer, you may think it's nothing more than a habit that keeps your partner awake at night – but it can actually be a symptom of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Are you experiencing pain or tenderness in your jaw, neck, and shoulders; jaws that stick or lock up; a clicking or popping sound in the jaw joint; facial swelling; or frequent headaches?
If you're missing teeth, it can make it difficult to eat and speak comfortably. It can also affect your appearance, and take a toll on your self esteem.
For more information on any of our Toronto dental services, please contact us today. We'd be happy to discuss them further and clear up any questions.


Undoubtedly, 2016 is a remarkable year for the TV industry in Hong Kong. As we can all recall – the oldest broadcaster, Asia Television Limited pull the plug, new free broadcaster ViuTV kicked off new services, and new players from over-the-top(OTT) services like Netflix and LeEco joined to disrupt Hong Kong's video landscape with new technologies.
With reports addressing to the tough situation that traditional TV stations facing (Read more: TVB's advertising revenue drops 9%), marketers cast doubt on the advertising values that free TV could bring. The answer is digital and free TV are no zero-sum game, according to Omnicom Media Group's latest online survey about local people's viewing habits.
In April, when ViuTV set its launch and LeEco aggressively rolled out campaigns, the agency surveyed 1,000 people online, aged 18-59 years old, on their video viewing habit in the past 7 days.
Results indicated that the weekly average time spent viewing video was 31 hours, with 18 of those hours on free TV versus 11 on digital platforms and just 3 on paid TV.
The top 3 platforms watched in the past 7 days were TVB(87%), ViuTV(74%) and Youtube(71%). Free TV dominates across video viewing platforms with 96% penetration, while 80% watched digital video platforms and 32% watched pay TV.
ViuTV became a spotlight in the survey as well, as many people were eager to know its performance. Although it was branded with a more innovative image, results revealed similar audience profiles across ViuTV and TVB. The average time spent per week on ViuTV was 5 hours, versus 11 hours on TVB.
Wong added digital vs. TV is no zero-sum game. Viewers are choosing the programmes to watch instead of particular platforms. As a result, TV and digital audiences are highly duplicated among all age groups.

As Cities Run Low on Water, India Searches for Answers
NEW DELHI - As reservoirs in India's sixth largest city, Chennai, almost went dry this week, affluent residents spent more money to buy the precious resource being ferried in by trucks from outside the city, poorer ones waited for hours in the scorching heat for erratic government supplies, some restaurants closed, and many offices curtailed working hours.
While the southern city faces chronic water shortages, the situation has reached a crisis point this summer. In Subhra Banerjee's upmarket apartment complex, residents are using disposable plates, restricting baths and throwing wastewater in toilets to minimize consumption. But some days can be really bad. "We are sometimes totally out of stock. We are quite panicky," he says.
The situation is not much better in sprawling low-income neighborhoods in the Indian capital. The day begins with a scramble for water, but it is not easy to get hold of a few buckets. As a tanker rolls in with the critical resource, many get elbowed and pushed in the mad rush to fill containers, tempers get frayed and some children even squeeze under the truck to salvage a few drops from leaking pipes.
"Those who can push, fill the water — others cannot," says Ayesha Khatun, a resident of a slum in New Delhi. "For three days I am filling my container with whatever is spilled by others."
Another relentless summer has dried up taps in large parts of urban India as reservoir levels run dangerously low. The situation is even bleaker across vast swathes of rural areas, where women walk miles to get water as it disappears from local bodies of water.
As lakes and rivers that have been harnessed to meet the needs of a growing population shrink, and ground water levels plummet due to over extraction by farmers, India is staring at a massive water crisis.
Six hundred million people, or roughly half the country, face high to extreme water shortages, a government report estimated last year. It warned that 21 major cities, including New Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru, would soon run out of groundwater.
To address the grave problem, the newly elected government this month agreed to establish a Water Ministry with the ambitious goal of providing piped water to every household in five years.
"Only 18 percent have access to piped water, and that figure too may not reflect ground realities," according to Gajendra Singh Shekawat, who heads the ministry.
But experts question how the government will ensure that water will flow in the pipes when vast regions in the country are running dry.
"In the coming years our deficit is going to be 43 percent between water availability and water requirement," according to Shekawat.
As India gets down to addressing the mammoth challenge of bridging this shortfall, questions are being raised over how it should be done – through mega-multi-billion-dollar projects, or small community led initiatives that focus on water conservation.
The government says it is fast tracking an ambitious but controversial $ 87 billion-dollar project to link 60 rivers. The aim: to build dams and a network of canals that will divert water from rivers that routinely overflow during the monsoon season and flood vast tracts in the northeast to parched rivers in southern and western India.
It's proponents see it as a showpiece project that will end devastating floods and droughts.
But some conservationists like Rajendra Singh call the river-linking scheme "dangerous" because it will involve large-scale destruction of the habitat. "Lifting water to put in other rivers will cost too much. It will involve cutting trees, destroy the environment further and intensify disputes between states," says the winner of the Magsaysay Award and Stockholm Water Prize, who has been nicknamed India's "Waterman."
Many like him are instead pushing for greater focus on conservation measures to capture rainfall – India's main source of water that falls during three months of the monsoon season. Most of it runs off into storm water in drains in cities and evaporates or flows into the sea in rural areas.
Singh points to the transformation that was brought about in roughly 1,200 villages spread over a nearly 11,000-square-kilometer area in the parched desert state of Rajasthan. That is where local communities constructed hundreds of aquifers in vertical tracts so rainwater could be stored without evaporation. Over time, groundwater levels that had plummeted to 90 meters rose to between three and nine meters from the surface, and parched water bodies revived. Water shortages ended, reversing a migration into cities as people returned to villages to farm their land.
"We used engineering and science to store rainwater like a fixed deposit, which would recharge ground water and rivers," he says. "Water must be treated like a bank account, you can only withdraw as much as you put in. At the moment most of the country is running an overdraft."
A girl walks carrying drinking water at a slum in Mumbai, India, Wednesday, June 19, 2019. India is facing a 43% deficiency on monsoon rains across the country by its late arrival by a week in June, according to India Meteorological Department…

It's a call that many experts echo and say that such "iconic" efforts should be promoted across the country. They agree transporting water across thousands of miles from water surplus regions to drier ones is expensive and difficult.
Veena Srinivasan, at the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and Environment, says one of the significant steps to plug shortages is to stop cultivation of thirsty crops like paddy in water- deficient areas. In the western Maharashtra state, for example, experts blame the switch from traditional crops to widespread cultivation of sugarcane for the parched countryside.
For decades, farmers have pumped ground water to irrigate crops without any regulation, resulting in a dangerous fall in groundwater levels in many parts of the country. "India has to learn to do more with less," says Srinivasan.
As India searches for solutions to its water crisis, millions only know one thing: the bleak situation is worsening their living conditions. "Our children fall sick with the contaminated water," says Raju Devi in a low-income neighborhood in New Delhi as she fills four buckets from a water tanker. For the rest, she has to to "borrow and beg" from those who manage to corner more. "We never have enough to wash and clean."

Ben Senturia has spent the past 30 years working on environmental, social justice and campaign reform issues at the local, state and national levels. He also has been a presence in the peace movement and interfaith organizations.
"I love interacting with people," says Senturia. "All my work has provided a platform for me to have a wonderful time getting to know interesting people who do important work. I get my energy from that – as well as a lot of pleasure."
David Lander, an attorney and fellow activist, describes Senturia as a "steel-fist-in-a-velvet-glove" kind of guy who "carries his fierce determination for a better world in a warm, sweet exterior." Pedro McMillan, co-owner of Pedro's Planet and immediate past president of Missouri Votes Conservation – an organization that Senturia co-founded – salutes Senturia's tenacity but also his diplomacy, noting, "Ben can sit with anybody on any part of the political spectrum and have a civil, meaningful conversation."
Barry Commoner, the biologist and eco-socialist, was one of Senturia's professors when he was a graduate student at Washington University. "His involvement framed my interests," says Senturia. "I ended up on the St. Louis Committee for Environmental Information, and instead of getting my master's degree, I helped organize the first Earth Day here in 1970." Senturia laughs. "I found what I was good at, and went for it."
Senturia has worked with the Great Rivers Legal Defense Fund, St. Louis Coalition for the Environment, Missouri Coalition for the Environment, East-West Gateway Coordinating Council, the Mississippi River Basin Alliance, Citizens for Modern Transit and the St. Louis EnvironMentors Project.
He served as president of the Missouri Alliance for Campaign Reform, worked with Missouri Voters for Fair Elections and was an integral part of the Prop 1 Campaign that successfully prevented a local utility from charging customers upfront for a nuclear power plant still on the drawing board. Senturia has been active nationally with Public Campaign, which promotes campaign finance reform. He also has worked in leadership positions in many political campaigns.
Senturia coordinated state and local nuclear-freeze initiative's campaigns and worked for Instead of War, a local peace group. He co-founded All God's People – a coalition of Muslim, Christian and Jewish clerical and lay leaders – and was involved with Jews United for Justice.
One year ago, Senturia retired from his job helping activist organizations around the country with board development, fundraising and strategic planning. "Now, I'm thinking about how to pass the baton, how to develop the next generation of leaders in social change," he says. To that end, Senturia co-founded Leadership for Social Change. Lara Granich, director of Missouri Jobs with Justice, is among those serving as a "start-up committee" for the group.
Senturia's many affiliations are indicative of his many accomplishments. What has he learned over the years? He says, "If you want to create change, you have to build power at the community level."

an embolization, a procedure to plug up a blood vessel to stop bleeding. aides say the procedure was successful, but released no other details. it is unclear exactly what her condition is. she will likely remain hospitalized for the rest of the week. this comes as the first lady has recently raised her public profile. she was last seen on the tarmac in the middle of the night welcoming home those americans detained by north korea. last week in the rose garden she unveiled her official policy platform, a public awareness campaign for children called "be best." >> let us teach our children the difference between right and wrong. encourage them to be best in their individual path in life. >> reporter: as she asked for kindness the president sat right there looking on. later joining her on stage for a kiss. today, he was not at the hospital for her procedure.
instead a senior administration official telling abc news he spoke with his wife beforehand and with her doctors immediately after. >> cecilia vega joins us from the white house. as the news was breaking about the first lady, the president was tweeting about something else, the uproar about an aid's joke about senator mccain. and his opinion on that cia nominee. we reported in the closed door meeting the aid saying of mccain it doesn't matter, he's dying anyway. senator mccain battling brain cancer. we heard a public apology might be coming, but no sign yet. >> no, david. doesn't look like they'll be apologizing. i pushed the white house repeatedly on this one. this is despite the fact that meghan mccain said kelly sadler promised her she would make a public apology. now the white house says this is an internal matter and sadler is not going anywhere. today in the tweet the president called leakers traders and
cowards. mind you these are people who work for him and from the president today no mention of john mccain or the comments. >> cecelia, thank you. as cecelia reported, the president late today visited the first lady. tonight i want to bring in abc's chief medical editor dr. ashton. so few details here. from what you heard in that report what can we surmise about the first lady's condition? we heard embolization. >> this is an invasive procedure. it's not a surgery. it's done by radiologists where they strategically block off part of the blood supply to the kidney. that's done either electively or emergently in some cases to stop bleeding or stop a benign growth from growing larger. >> when you hear about the five-stay, some people think that's a long time. the white house didn't let us know in advance which is somewhat out of the norm. this doesn't alarm you? >> no. we watch for bleeding, monitor kidney function and make sure pain control is adequate. if she stays in the hospital for
five days, that's the longest first lady hospital stay since nancy reagan. >> thank you, dr. ashton. with the first lady in the hospital, the white house also watching their historic move unfold after the president's decision to move the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem. ivanka trump was there to represent the president at the dedication as tens of thousands of palestinians protested the move. palestinian authorities saying more than 50 people have been killed and 2,700 injured. previous presidents called jerusalem israel's capital, but did not move the embassy amid concerns it would hurt middle east peace. tonight the clashes already. abc's chief foreign correspondent terry moran with picks from jerusalem. >> reporter: it was ivanka trump who did the honors in jerusalem today. the curtain came down, formally opening the embassy and the first daughter took the mike. >> we welcome you officially and for the first time to the embassy of the unites states here in jerusalem, the capital
of israel. thank you. >> reporter: at that same moment on the gaza border an awful scene unfolding. tens of thousands of palestinians, some waving their flags, the flags of a people without a country, a human tide of protest against the u.s. embassy opening. jerusalem, claimed by both palestinians and israelis as their capital, one of the most emotional issues in the long conflict. israeli security forces first fired tear gas into the crowd and dropped it from drones, then they opened fire. alex rossi of sky news was there. >> it is turning into a pretty grim day in gaza. theres coming in. most of the people being brought in have gunshot wounds to their lower limbs.
>> reporter: some protesters praying amid the chaos, a striking scene, others threw stones, used slingshots. at least 55 protesters were killed, according to palestinian health authorities and more than 2,700 injured. the shrouded dead lined hospital hallways, their grieving loved ones inconsolable. such a stark contrast in jerusalem. >> my friends, this is a great day for israel. >> reporter: the president's son-in-law jared kushner pointedly scorned the protesters. >> as we have seen from the protests of the last month and even today, those provoking violence are part of the problem and not part of the solution. >> reporter: here there was music and prayers led by pastor robert jeffress of dallas who has preached that jews are destined for hell, along with mormons, hindus, muslims. >> pray for the peace of jerusalem. >> reporter: president trump spoke via a video statement. >> our greatest hope is for peace. the united states remains fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement.
>> terry moran live with us from jerusalem. you heard the president say he's fully committed to the peace process. how will this move of the embassy affect that? >> david, president trump thinks it will simplify things by taking jerusalem off the table. it's such an emotional issue. for israelis it's the eternal home of jewish people. 40% of the people who live here are palestinians and arabs. their people have lived here for centuries. this they believe is their capital. the palestinian authority has cut off contact with the trump minutes because of this move. the peace process which was already on life support will be very hard to get going again. >> terry moran in jerusalem. terry, thank you. the growing fear at this hour concern over a potential explosion in hawaii. 19 fissures all spewing hot lava and toxic gases. tonight the growing threat. from inside the volcano. the lava mixing with ground
water. look at these pictures. that combination could lead to a lethal explosion sending boulders the size of cars into the air. abc's chief national correspondent matt gutman flying us right over it tonight. >> reporter: tonight on hawaii's big island, the fear growing, along with the fissures. at least four cracks opening up since saturday, including the biggest one yet. jets of steam blasting spatter as high as 500 feet in the air. steam rising from the streets split by the molt en rock beneath sounding like thunder claps. today we boarded this helicopter to get an up close view. you can see the lines over there. they are spewing toxic gases thousands of feet into the air. all the vegetation to the left has been killed because of the gases. much of the lava flowing out of these fissures comes from the pu'u o'o crater, 30 miles away its floor collapsing two weeks
ago. >> its not like it's a hurricane where you can say, "hey, in three days it'll be here and go." this is like a slow motion train wreck. >> reporter: this drone showing what's become a river of lava flowing through the leilani estates neighborhood. the worry? if the main roads get cut off, mass evacuations could be necessary. officials warning residents. >> we'd like them to be ready to prepare to evacuate at a moment's notice. >> reporter: sulfur dioxide in the air residents are lining up for respirators. >> not everyone can just get on a plane and leave. some people can and some people are but the rest of us are here. >> reporter: now all eyes on the crater where the lake has dropped 1,000 feet nearly reaching ground water, that could send powerful explosions send rocks, some as large as trucks, flying up to a half mile or more in the air. >> this disaster has been something to watch.
matt, i can see you're talking to folks around you there. you're joining us live. i want to go back to the images of the craters. this one in particular. if it blows. the ash, the boulders could be sent for quite a distance, the ash for miles. >> that's right. 12 square miles. the biggest concern is what you're seeing behind me, that noxious mixture of steam and gas. right now it's blowing off shore. it is colorless, odorless and it can be deadly. if the winds change and it shifts on shore, it could affect 50,000 people and become a major health risk. on this part of the island, david. >> matt gutman on the scene. thank you. next the severe thunderstorm watch from wichita to chicago to d.c. it will reach new york and new england by tomorrow. damaging winds already in clarksville, pennsylvania. also, a potential tropical disturbance off the coast of florida. yes, this early. strong winds in key west and a tornado with 80 mile an hour winds in palm beach county. we're tracking a lot. let's get to ginger zee.
>> we have dulles airport on a ground stop. because they're in a tornado warning. look at this mean radar image. you can see washington, d.c. and alexandria you're next. if you don't have a tornado, you could have gusts up to 70 miles an hour. hail and damaging winds from chicago to st. louis and the lows you see going to spring up more in the way of severe weather. anywhere from binghamton to philadelphia, right through baltimore. that's tomorrow. the low near the gulf of mexico it's also produced three to five inches of rain. easily could produce another four. >> thanks, ginger. we'll see you first thing in the morning. from cincinnati we have new details what went wrong after a teenager kyle plush called 911 for help from the back of his mini van. he was being crushed to death after a seat had fallen over on him. the city has released a report. that heart broken family says it leaves unanswered questions.
here's abc's alex perez. >> reporter: tonight the investigation as to why this 911 call -- >> i probably don't have much time left. tell my mom i love her if i die. >> reporter: did not lead authorities to 16-year-old kyle plush. his father right there today. >> kyle knew he was in trouble and didn't call his mom and dad. he knew he needed to call the one entity that could respond quickly. >> reporter: plush was reaching for equipment in the rear of his minivan, when the seat flipped. the investigation revealing the 911 operator could not understand what plush was saying. >> i'm trapped inside my gold honda odyssey in the sophomore parking lot of seven hills, hil hil hillsdale. >> reporter: the make and location never relayed to the police. for 11 minutes those officers patrolled, but didn't find him. >> we failed to get the outcome we wanted in this emergency
response. >> reporter: the city's investigation also found the operator's computer twice froze. authorities say they will commission an independent investigation. david. >> alex, thanks to you. now to the royal wedding. the american about to marry a prince has now learned her father might not be attending. the news behind these reports and why he might be canceling. abc's james longman from london. >> reporter: just days before he was to walk his daughter down the aisle, tonight, tmz says meghan markle's father will not attend the event. thomas markle reportedly bowing out after an embarrassing report in britain's "mail" on sunday accusing him of working with the paparazzi to stage photos. the father of the bride seen reading up on britain, exercising with hand weights, even getting measured for his suit. the 73-year-old telling the website the photos look stupid and hammy. megan's estranged half-sister, today telling i-tv it was all her idea in order to recast his
image after unflattering photos in the press. >> i'm entirely the culprit. there's a lot of scrutiny that it was money motivated. it was not. it was my suggestion to benefit him and the royal family. >> reporter: markle tells tmz he's recovering from a heart attack six days ago, but won't go to the wedding because he doesn't want to embarrass his daughter or the royal family. the palace tonight not confirming the report but saying, "this is a deeply personal moment for ms. markle in the days before her wedding. she and prince harry ask again for understanding and respect to be extended to mr. markle in this difficult situation." the royal relationship with the paparazzi has been a painful one. harry talking about their role in his mother's death in this bbc documentary. >> i think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel were the same people that were taking photographs of her while she was still dying in the back seat of the car. >> it's a difficult time for meghan.

Q: Combining wordpress admin page content with custom template? Is there a way to combine content from a wordpress page's main textarea with the content in its custom template?
In this case I have a custom template that displays all posts from a single category, but I would also like to have a section that displays what is written in the wordpress admin Page area.
This is how I have the custom template set up to display relevant posts:
<?php query_posts('category_name=baby-coupons'); ?>

    <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ;?>"><?php the_title() ;?> - <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>

            <?php
            if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
              the_post_thumbnail();
            }
            ?>

            <?php the_excerpt() ;?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

Above this I would like to have the wordpress pages admin area content display, what a user would normally write into the textarea to display on the page, is this possible?

A: This is what I've come up with:
<?php get_posts(); ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <?php the_content() ;?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php query_posts('category_name=baby-coupons'); ?>

    <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ;?>"><?php the_title() ;?> - <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>

            <?php
            if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
              the_post_thumbnail();
            }
            ?>

            <?php the_excerpt() ;?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

Is this acceptable? It's working but I'm not sure how classy it is!

An updated tool for finding the footprints of selection

diploS/HIC uses machine learning to identify selective sweeps in unphased data.
A set of footprints can tell us a lot about the creature that left them—without requiring us to see the creature itself. Footprints can suggest the animal's size, weight, and stride, and from there, we can extrapolate even more information. Much like soft sand holds evidence of past visitors to a beach, genomes retain the marks of selection long after the evolutionary pressures that caused them are gone. In this month's issue of G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics, a featured paper by Kern and Schrider provides a valuable tool for finding and classifying such genomic traces of past selection.
Putting together a complete picture of genomic loci that have been targeted by selection requires both the accurate identification and classification of the types of selective sweeps. Hard sweeps occur when a rare but beneficial mutation arises de novo, confers an adaptive advantage, and quickly reaches fixation in a population. Soft sweeps, on the other hand, are derived from standing variation; when a previously neutral variant suddenly confers an advantage due to a change in environment, it can rise to fixation.
However, distinguishing the genomic effects of these two processes is challenging. Hard sweeps can cause spurious signatures of soft sweeps in genomic regions that lie in a sweet spot in distance from the target of selection: not too close and not too far. Any tool that tries to classify selective sweeps has to take into account distance from the true target of selection.
In 2016, Kern and Schrider developed a technique called S/HIC that uses machine learning to identify selective sweeps and is aware of the genomic spatial context. Their newly reported method, diploS/HIC (pronounced "deep-lo-shick") improves on the original by allowing for the use of unphased data—that is, genotypic data that hasn't been assigned to a haplotype ("phased"). The new method also incorporates additional spatial information through a machine learning approach commonly used in image recognition. By representing population genomic data as images, they were able to train a deep convolutional neural network to identify genomic windows that bear the signature of hard and soft selective sweeps. They demonstrate diploS/HIC by simulating different selective scenarios based on data from an Anopheles gambiae mosquito population.
Cutting edge population genetics methodologies are constantly in development, and updates like diploS/HIC that broaden researchers' ability to use datasets with different characteristics will continue to advance the field. Our ability to track the genomic footprints of selection is getting better all the time.

Building IPv4 Islands for Fun and Profit
Nico Schottelius, ungleich
This presentation is available at:
https://ripe83.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/86-ripe83-ipv4-islands-for-fun-and-profit.pdf
Nico discussed the technical details of how to set up IPv6-only networks that need to incorporate IPv6-incompatible devices (such as x-ray or ultrasound scanners, LoraWAN gateways, printers, power plants) by setting up IPv4 "islands" for those devices.
Benedikt Stockebrand commented that there are many different approaches to this issue and that if this particular method doesn't work, then attendees should be encouraged to reach out on the mailing list rather than simply give up on deploying IPv6. Nico said he fully agreed.
Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works, thanked Nico for his explanation and said he had also been doing something similar. He said he thought another name is needed, however, other than "islands". Nico said he was open to other suggestions. Raymond suggested that ideas could be discussed on the mailing list.
There were no further questions or comments.
To ULA or not ULA
https://ripe83.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/87-ripe83-to-ula-or-not-ula.pdf
In his second presentation, Nico gave an overview of ULAs (unique local addresses), which are used in community networks and other use cases but aren't generally visible on the Internet. He explained how his company has been asked to run a ULA registry and asked for opinions about how – and whether there was consensus – to support community projects by running a ULA registry.
Jordi Palet Martínez, Moremar - The IPv6 Company, said that the right way to have a registry is to revive the ULA-Central work, which he tried already in the IETF and with the RIRs. He said there is possibly a need for a global policy on running a central IANA registry or coordination for that among the RIRs, but that it didn't work. He offered to continue working on that if there were community support.
Nico said that was an interesting approach and that there were also recent discussions around where to register IP space for aerospace technology and that this could be a way to go, or that the RIRs could have a subsection for ULA community space. He said he would reach out to Jordi after the meeting.
Niall O'Reilly, speaking as a "ULA user", asked Nico whether he imported registrations from SixXS to the new registry. Nico responded that everything had been imported and that some have already been deleted because they saw old information in the registry.
Marco Hogewoning, RIPE NCC, said that the EU Cybersecurity Strategy suggests a possible sunset clause for IPv4 if insufficient progress is made with IPv6 and asked what the RIPE community thought could be done other than avoiding legislation to force a particular technical choice. He asked whether the community, for example, would advise forcing the use of IPv6 or discouraging the use (or forcing the disuse) of IPv4. He commented that this strategy is focuses on the market and not just the public sector.
Nico said that is a difficult question. He said the market is already at play, given the increasing price of IPv4 and that some governments are going IPv6-only. He said that an RIR like the RIPE NCC can encourage IPv6 deployment, and that he sees a role for open-source solutions to support this shift and enable bottom-up development and innovation.
Rüdiger Volk, my UNorganized self, said he remembered when Internet number resources were essentially available for free and the one registry was funded by the US federal government. He said that, in order to support communities that were outside of the very small Internet at the time that wanted to install TCP/IP locally or regionally with a limited view to interconnect globally, volunteers started to hand out things and get centrally registered space and create sub-registries. Essentially, he said, the RIPE NCC registry grew from there.
He said he felt that if the address space you're using has enough free resources for everyone to be globally unique, then you should do that – but if the current ICANN anchored registry system doesn't offer a way for all communities to adequately address their needs, that should be a trigger to question how to do that. He said that, in some ways, the precursor to ULA was the RFC 1918 space, but it was meant to just be local and was not meant to require a registry (unless your enterprise network isn't connected to anything else and runs as a very closed system, in which case a local registry might be used).
Nico said he saw Rüdiger's point and said that perhaps this work should be a community/volunteer effort. He said this topic already came up on the IETF mailing list, along with the usual question of who would pay for the project. He said the idea of handing out GUA (global unique addresses) was also discussed on the IETF mailing list, which he thought was good, as it would offer uniqueness along with global addressability. He added that sponsoring the address space is one thing, but sponsoring the work was another thing and being recognised, a third consideration. He encouraged anyone interested in contributing to the project to contact him.
Peter Hessler, speaking as an "open source enthusiast", asked how much space the community should request from the RIPE NCC if it were to group together and form a LIR to request and manage IPv6 address space.
Nico said you can start with a /32 and simply request another as needed, because the addresses don't need to be consecutive. Raymond added that you can get a /29 without any justification.
Michael Richardson said he had been a proponent of a non-connected IPv6 space for a long time and that he had first come across this before in using it in a data centre through VPNs as a management network. He said that in his experience, these inevitably leak and when they do, you don't know who to tell. He said this was also why he doesn't like ULA random. He said that the value of Whois is high and provides a feeling that no one will come and do something terrible to you because you're using the address space. He also said the possibility of reverse DNS really matters in IPv6 space. For those reasons, he said he would like to have a registry but was agnostic as to whether it should be a /29 of carefully managed global address space that is unannounced in RPKI, or ULA central or fd/8 if that were ever to work. He said there should be a nominal, one-time fee to register the space. He said he oftens sees a need for this in equipment chassis and gave the example of a networked fishing boat. He said he would rather it wasn't RFC1918 but IPv6, and if there were too much paperwork, you could use 1.1 or 11 network because 1918 is on the other interface and using NAT, so you don't know what is there. He said engineers don't use IPv6 because they think they can't get it and don't use ULA random because they need something different for every boat (in the example), which is correct, but he said it should be within the network you own. He said the community needs to enable this and that a small registration fee should make it your own in perpetuity.
Benedikt said that one use case that tends to be forgotten about, as most in the community are LIRs, is having a provider aggregated addresses and wanting to maintain some independence from your ISP, ULAs can be very helpful in renumbering. He said there's a big difference between IPv4 and IPv6 in that IPv6 was designed to support multiple addresses per interface, and this can be very useful. He also cautioned against starting a separate address space that is sort of connected with people using ULAs across the Internet via tunnels where they really shouldn't.
Raymond closed the queue to further questions in the interest of time.
Jeroen Massar, Massar Networking, commented later in the chat that the SixXS ULA Registry was a practical joke and that many people are still falling for it. He added that ULA is so random (if done right) that you will never collide with another /48. He shared that the ULA RFC shows a nice table and that if you would make 10,000 connections to other networks, the probability that you have a collision is 4.54*10^-05. He added that you will have better odds playing lottery instead. He pointed out that there already had been collisions in the SixXS ULA registry because people did not randomly generate their prefix. He said that the moment you want a "check if the prefix is used" you got the RIR system: somebody needs to maintain that list of numbers. That is why ULA-C went nowhere, as it would just be a new RIR. He said that the other thing was that everything that gets connected will want Internet access at one point or another and that using RIR-provided address space solves all of that. Jeroen also felt that this was an IETF matter and that it went nowhere because the issue it aimed to solve was already solved using real addresses.
RIPE-554bis
Jan Žorž, 6connect
https://ripe83.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/73-RIPE554bis-RIPE83.pdf
Jan gave some background and history on updating RIPE-554 and RIPE-554bis, which provides guidance on how to procure IPv6-capable equipment and software for enterprises. He explained which updates were deemed necessary, such as adding fundamental RFCs like "IPv6 over Ethernet" and removing BOUNDv6, as it no longer exists. There are new requirements for hosts and enterprise/ISP switches, and some other changes for routers, CPEs, mobile devices, load balancers and software. He stressed the need to publish an update to RIPE-554 as soon as possible and asked the group whether there was consensus on RIPE-554bis.
Blake Willis, Zayo, asked whether RFC8950/RFC5549 BGP tunnel signalling was within the document's scope. Jan replied that it included IPv6-specific things and he would need to look into it. Sander Steffann, 6connect and RIPE-554bis co-author, said he was also not certain. Jan said he did not think RFC8950 was included but that they could consider it for the next version, as they didn't want to expand the scope of this version since it would take too long to update it.
Éric Vyncke, Cisco and IETF but speaking mainly as an "IPv6 evangelist", said he couldn't find in the draft RIPE-554bis document Jan's reference during his presentation to not using a /64 and RFC8200 now including atomic/overlapping fragments. Jan said the RFC8200 was in the section on requirements for host equipment, and that it's basically the same document, just updated. Sander said he thought he found the section that Éric was referring to, which was from RFC7608 (IPv6 prefix length recommendations for forwarding), which mentions that prefix lengths longer than /64 must be supported in forwarding. Éric said the other two RFCs mentioned were removed from the RIPE-554bis document and that the presentation had not been updated to reflect the most recent Google doc.
Christoph Berkemeier, DB Station & Service AG, asked whether Jan was aware of automated or semi-automated test scripts/environments for the recommendations. Jan responded that this was a mistake many people were making, and that the document was meant to be used as a template. He said that, for example, "if support for tunnelling and duo-stack is required, the device must support basic transition mechanisms for IPv6 hosts and routers" then it could be technically possible to build a script to test this, but you would need to include everything you want and need, which would be complicated. He said that you need to take the parts of the document that apply to your situation. But, he said, if someone wanted to build something like that, then he would be happy to include it. Sander said that Blake Willis was referring on the chat to the University of New Hampshire's independent testing lab. Jan said there are asterisks on some of the requirements in the draft policy that indicate they are being tested.
Jan asked the collective whether there was consensus.
Benedikt said that no one would complain if they wanted to do the work. Raymond said he was happy to move forward but suggested leaving the mailing list open until the following Wednesday for any other potential objections to consensus, which Jan agreed to.
Jan and Raymond thanked everyone for their hard work.
Raymond thanked the scribe and said that there had been no comments on the minutes from RIPE 82, which had been online for some time, so declared them approved. He said that he hoped to see everyone at a meeting in person soon and closed the session.
