This Cozy New Shaw Bar Has an Awesome Fireplace, but No Name
Just don't call it a speakeasy.

There's a discreet new bar in Shaw with no name or telephone, only an address. Patrons enter a subterranean, fire-lit space for cocktails made with small-batch spirits, fresh juices, and herbs.
Just don't call 600 T Street, Northwest a speakeasy.
"A speakeasy to me is about prohibition and that time period," says owner Stephen Lawrence. "People make it into a cliche concept—that's not what I'm doing."
Instead, Lawrence says he's forgoing a name because he wants patrons' experiences to speak for themselves.
"Signs are easy," says Lawrence, who lives in the apartment above. "It's much more personal to discover a place and then describe it to your friends."
The bar sits in an 120 year-old building near Florida Avenue.
For a tiny, cabin-like space, there's a lot going on. A log-burning fireplace casts a glow around the 34-seat room, while wood covers almost every inch (even the toilet seats). Lawrence, who grew up on a farm in North Carolina and worked in construction, built out the space with a mix of salvaged and refurbished woods, including the original ceiling beams from the 120 year-old building, and flooring from his grandmother's home down south. He also owns and helped construct the other buildings on the block, which currently house Cafe Boheme, Rito Loco, and its rooftop bar El Techo.
If you're wondering about the crazy-looking light fixture–that's a peace sign-shaped chandelier made of rifles, fashioned by youths Lawrence's artist-brother works with in juvenile detention. The soundtrack is also eclectic, with a mix of soul, jazz, and blues alongside artists from Nigeria and Mali.

Like the bar, cocktails go unnamed. Barkeeps Bryan Tate and Mike Wetterauer created a "spirit-forward" menu based on small-batch liquors and liqueurs, fresh juices, and herbs. Sit by the fire—formally the early 19th-century building's coal furnace—and you might want a Kentucky brandy with house-made cider, rosemary, and lemon. Other drinks push creative boundaries, such as 12 year-old Scotch with carrot puree, cilantro, jalapeño, and a creamy egg white (though prices run standard, $12 to $15). Patrons are also welcome to order their preferred concoctions alongside light snack like cheese and olives.
Cocktails are made with small-batch spirits, fresh juices, and herbs.
Lawrence admits that by not titling his creation, it's up for interpretation. People may describe the bar favorably. Or not. Or in a straightforward way like "600 T" or "that place with no name."
"Everyone wants to figure it out so they can name it," says Lawrence. "It's organic, just let it go."
600 T St., NW. No phone. Open Wednesday through Saturday, 5 PM to 3 AM (hours may vary slightly).
Lawrence's brother, an artist, also contributed paintings and wall murals.

Discussing grand corruption at the 17th IACC.
What is "grand corruption" and how can it be combated on the domestic and international levels? Is it only about the amount of money or also about the corruption's quality? These questions were raised during the panel "Willing and Able to Prosecute Grand Corruption" at the 17th International Anti-Corruption Conference in Panama.
According to Transparency International, grand corruption is the abuse of high-level power that benefits the few at the expense of the many, and causes serious and widespread harm to individuals and society. It often goes unpunished, and is globally relevant, not only in individual countries but across borders.
Ukrainian lawmaker Yegor Sobolev recalled the case of Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash. Firtash, who is currently living in Austria, was charged in a US corruption case concerning alleged bribery in India. Now, Firtash figures in a case regarding bribing German policemen. "We need an international anti-corruption system, not only for Ukraine or Guatemala, because there's an interest of all countries," Sobolev concluded.
One mechanism to combat grand corruption that has seen some success is the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG), headed by Colombian prosecutor Ivan Velasquez. CICIG was established in 2006, after the United Nations and Guatemala decided to set up an independent institution to support the prosecutor's office. The Commission achieved spectacular results. For instance, one of the Commission's investigations led to the resignations of Guatemala's former President and Vice-President in 2015.
"We all know that corruption is a global problem that uses a global network, and therefore it needs a global response," Boston-based federal district Judge Mark Wolf emphasizes. Moreover, corruption breeds constituencies for terrorists and drug dealers, as well as destabilizing many countries, such as Ukraine. Wolf's proposed solution is the creation of an international anti-corruption court that would work on grand corruption cases from different countries.
Panelists also noted that international cooperation must be combined with domestic efforts. National legislative changes are extremely necessary, legal advisor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy Giovanni Tartaglia Polcini says. According to him, during the last 20 years more than ten important laws for fighting mafia-related corruption were adopted in Italy. Among the most important steps, Polcini cites the removal of lawmakers' immunity in Italy and independence of prosecutors and judges.
"We should do our domestic job, but at the same time we, all as independent nations, will not be able to be effective without the international anti-corruption community and international anti-corruption system," Ukrainian MP Sobolev emphasized.

And the Murder of Lord Darnley
Amazon Apple Books Google Play Kobo Booktopia eBooks.com
Bestselling historian Alison Weir turns her attention to Mary, Queen of Scots and one of the great mysteries of the 16th century.
On the night of 10 February 1567 an explosion devastated the Edinburgh residence of Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley, second husband of Mary, Queen of Scots. The noise was heard as far away as Holyrood Palace, where Queen Mary was attending a wedding masque. Those arriving at the scene of devastation found, in the garden, the naked corpses of Darnley and his valet. Neither had died in the explosion, but both bodies bore marks of strangulation. It was clear that they had been murdered and the house destroyed in an attempt to obliterate the evidence. Darnley was not a popular king-consort, but he was regarded by many as having a valid claim to the English throne. For this reason Elizabeth I had opposed his family's longstanding wish to marry him to Mary Stuart, who herself claimed to be the rightful queen of England. Alison Weir's investigation of Darnley's murder is set against one of the most dramatic periods in British history. Her conclusions will shed a brilliant new light on the actions and motives of the conspirators and, in particular, the extent of Mary's own involvement.
Alison Weir is one of Britain's top-selling historians. She is the author of numerous works of history and historical fiction, specialising in the medieval and Tudor periods. Her bestselling history books include The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Elizabeth of York and, most recently, The Lost Tudor Princess. Her novels include Innocent Traitor, Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen and Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession. She is an Honorary Life Patron of Historic Royal Palaces. She is married with two adult children and lives and works in Surrey.

In the Ridgefield School District, August 29 at first glance would have seemed like a typical first day of school at View Ridge Middle School and Ridgefield High School.
However, the only students making their way to class that day were seventh graders at the middle school and ninth graders at the high school. The students knew that the day would be focused entirely on them, and they had the school and the staff all to themselves.
Each year, the first day of school at the district's only middle school and high school is devoted to welcoming new students transitioning from elementary to middle school and from middle school to high school. Students brand new to the district are also included in the first-day experience at both schools.
Known as "Assurance Day" at View Ridge and "Spudder Frosh Camp" at Ridgefield High School, the day is designed to provide an opportunity for incoming students to get familiar with their new school, cycle through their classes, meet their peers and get to know their teachers and the school staff. It provides fun, interactive activities throughout the day, and also gives students a chance to hook up with their future mentors--leadership students at both schools who help ease them into the middle school and high school experience.
The following day, the students join the rest of the student body at their respective schools when fellow classmates in the upper grades return for their first day of classes.
"The enthusiasm and increased confidence we saw from our new students at the end of the day was a stark contrast from the nervousness they exhibited in the morning," said Tony Smith, Principal at View Ridge Middle School.

Recently, someone said to me that they didn't have time to listen to a 15-minute radio programme.
Isn't that sad? Not 15 minutes in the whole week (it was available on iPlayer) to listen to something interesting. Listening to the radio is not even an exclusive activity - you can do other things at the same time.
I've been noticing since how many people have been saying 'I don't have time to...' whatever. Really? Most of these people don't have children at home; they are married (so we can assume some level of sharing of domestic chores); and they don't have out-of-the-house jobs that occupy regular hours - they're writers, illustrators, freelance editors, etc. So how can they have so little time?
Of course, they don't *really* have so little time - I see them discussing TV programmes on twitter. I don't watch TV. I don't have time. That is, I choose not to watch TV because I would rather spend my time doing other things. People in the UK spend a total of 10,000 years a night watching TV. Think what we could do with all that time! If you just watch two hours a night, it's two working days a week.
Perhaps not working regular out-of-the-house hours is part of the problem. Work expands to fill the time available. Actually, whatever you do, even if it's just faffing about on Facebook, expands to fill the time available. But similarly, you can cram more in and it shrinks to fill the time available. As the single parent of a long-term ill child, earning all the money we live on from the not-very-well paid job of writing, there are a lot of demands on my time. Some things don't get done (cleaning, mostly) - but lots of things do get done. And really, it doesn't take any longer to do the cleaning if the place has got a bit dirtier in between times. It's more satisfying, too, as you can see a difference.
Anyway, I must go to bed now and read Crime and Punishment as I have to get up early and buy chicken food and build a fence to separate good chickens from bad chickens and bury the bint's dead fish and put the Christmas decorations in the attic and then go to the university library to work on The Story of Philosophy (deadline 22 Feb) and the picture list for MMBR (deadline Tuesday) and then go to a friend's house for dinner. I hope you have a restful day, too!

The SuperHero RPG :: The Superhero RPG Universe aka Roleplay Section :: Asia :: Japan :: Tokyo
by Bliss on July 18th 2017, 12:11 am
The crate Bliss used for her tablet shook with the trembling of the building beneath her. The constant vibration from the regular beats could be bearable enough with their predictability, but the static vibration once the beat dropped led to the screen giving her more trouble than solutions. Her black gloved fingers tried to keep up with her tasks. Sitting on top of a club may have proved to be mistake number one, but the night still kept its schedule open for the creation of new mistakes. "I knew heat rose, but I wasn't sure about terrible music." Bliss checked to see two dots inside of the room she monitored move into the locations designated as "red" zones. A hooded sweatshirt was zipped up over Bliss' torso with a little bit of a black bow slipping out. A short, black pleated skirt sagged across her thighs, dropping to the tip of her black boots. "I can now confirm terrible music also rises."
"The beat isn't bad." A slender Japanese woman with auburn, shoulder length hair pushed through the crowd with a baseball bat sized duffle bag on her back. A pleated yellow skirt hung just above the middle of her thigh over a black leotard. Her gloves and boots both glowed with the same yellow as her skirt and a bright yellow bow rested on her chest and the back of her skirt. "It's not as good as the last song though-"
"There is no difference between any of these songs." Bliss chirped back more quickly than her fingers could work on the moving tablet. "Stay focused on getting backstage and finding that stupid track with the thing on it."
"Bliss, that is a terrible set of directions." On the other side of the dance hall, a tall red headed woman stuck out like a sore thumb among the regular population. With a much less flashy dress style (that did not border on copyright violation), Abby stepped along the VIP sections in a white, ankle high boot wearing a black sleeveless dress with the hem falling a few inches above her knee. "We need to find a track. What is that track on? A USB? A laptop?"
"It's a track." Bliss pushed the headset closer to her ear. "A track."
"Stop saying the part we know." Bonnie pushed herself past two young men, whom took an immediate attraction to her. "What device is it on?"
"It's. A. Track."
"You don't know what it is on?" Abby kept her distance from the most crowded parts of the club, ultimately leading her towards the restrooms. "Bliss, just get down here."
"I'm coming down right now!" Bliss pushed the tablet in her bag. "I'm coming down there, doing everything, then kicking both of your asses!"
Bliss tied her hair back in a ponytail and moved to the side of the building, climbing down a back pipe to the alley floor. Instead of following her early idea of going through the front, Bliss thought back to her position on top of the club. She looked up to get a coordinate on which side of the building she found herself outside of, then began to think through to where the door in front of her would lead. And, how close would it put her to showing up her two slacking operatives.
A telekinetic pop opened the door in front of Bliss, leading her through a side hall, and out to overlooking the club hall. Even though she entered through the first floor, the dance floor sat a floor under her. From the railing of the hallway Bliss currently looked over, Bliss could see the dance floor, the stage just in front of it, the VIP sections on the sides of the room, as well as several VIP rooms on the floor she currently resided on, and a three story bar with vantage points clear enough to see the entire club. "Time for a drink."
"Bliss stay sober." Bonnie's voice rang in Bliss' ear.
"Yeah, Bliss, if you drink, you'll probably get captured and compromise the entire-"
Bliss pulled the ear piece out, subjecting herself to the full blast of the terrible music. "Time for a drink." And Bliss entered the midlevel bar.

"Another round of drinks sounds good!"
Travis exclaimed, slamming his hand down on the bar table. He had just started his party night and already found himself in the company of beautiful women standing around him as the bartender slid him another drink. Tonight he found himself in Japan, why? He was employed to do some work here, but he couldn't really remember what. He didn't even know what he was doing in this club, he felt as if he had a job to do, but he had already take'n a couple shots and had forgotten most of the events the occurred in the last hour.
But there he was sitting on a bar stool in a Japanese club, surrounded by women he'll try to get lucky with that night. He ran his hand through his long brown hair and downed another shot. He was wearing his usual, brown trench coat, grey shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of DC kicks. He was clean shaven, something he rarely was and even had showered in the past 5 hours. He was pretty fresh that night, the only blemish being his scar that marked his face... But he wasn't worrying about that, no he was worried about women and partying.
The bar stools to his left and right were empty, the only empty ones on the whole table. 3 pretty women stood around him as he flittered with each of them. He didn't even understand what they were saying, but he, in the words of Jason Derulo, only needed to know when they were talking dirty to him and he knew that.
"Tender! Another shot!"
Travis shouted pointing to his empty glass. The bartender moved over and filled it again, yes this was a good night... Except, he was suppose to be doing something... Guarding something?... He thought to himself as one of the girls started to put her hands on Travis' chest, immediately pulling him away from his thoughts.
It was going to be an interesting night.

Trouble slid down the side of the bar in a yellow drink. A stern black glove intercepted it without committing a major party foul. The confluence of liquors swirled under the top down lighting, hinting at the brown shading of the apricot brandy. Bliss pushed the drink to her lips and embraced the crunk. "This zombies bringing me back to life."
"A zombie!" Abby's voice blasted through the ear piece Bliss put in her pocket. "Why don't you just challenge a sumo wrestler to tequila shots?"
"Depends on who's paying." Bliss pulled the piece out, letting her talk into the device while staring at her drink. "Last time I checked, you two had a job to do."
"I'm not driving you home. You can get a cab." Bonnie leaned against a wall in a side hallway, keeping her voice down. "I wish I knew the layout of this place, so I could know if the track is around here. But, then again, Bliss doesn't know where the track is, so-"
"It's a track." Bliss raised her voice well beyond the point of successful subterfuge. "How hard can it be to find? Find a computer, or a USB, or you know, whatever."
"Bliss, what happens if they play the track before we find it?" Abby disappeared from sight, sneaking past a bouncer to make her way into a back hallway on the opposite side of Bonnie.
The glass in front of Bliss presented Bliss with a philosophical question: was the glass empty, or just soon the be full. Bliss tapped on the bar front with her glass. "This needs to never be empty. Ever." Her eyes darted to the left, then the right. "Oh right, a question. The ear piece will block out the track. Just keep it in your ear and you're- oh that looks amazing." Bliss embraced the return of her drink.

Travis stood up, his mind wandering from wanting to drink more to wanting to take the women on his arms home. He grabbed ahold of the girls and started to walk them out. The beat of the music was deafening and being on the ground floor certainly made it worse. They reached the stairs and began to climb them. As they reached the top Travis spotted a girl that made him forget about the three ladies surrounding him. Ponytail? Check! Mini skirt? Check! Getting Drunk? Hell yeah!
Travis pushed aside the women on his arms causing them all to frown and cuss at him in languages he didn't even have a clue were. He made his way over to Bliss' location on the bar and slyly propped himself up against the long table and attempted to seduce her,
"Girl, you light me up more than the dance floor."
He stared at her eyes from the side, making a motion toward the dancing lights on the bottom floor. Travis was confident, too confident. He wanted to get lucky, but was about to get something completely different.
by Bliss on July 23rd 2017, 8:25 am
Bliss switched off her headset like any great communicator would. If someone wanted to get in contact with Bliss, they could use smoke signals- or come up and lay down a line. "Yeah, I know. I'm cute as fuck." Bliss kept her attention on her drink, isolating her gaze away from Travis. "That line needs a little something else. Right now you're straying away from the details of why being lit is up good for me. I'm just not feeling it. You're almost at the point of getting a participation trophy, but just not quite there."
Bliss' cell phone hummed across the table singing it's ring. With a new stimuli to place her focus, Bliss flipped her phone into her palm and squinted at the screen.
I know you turned your communicator off. Put it back on and tell Bonnie where she is going! We're both wandering around back her and Bonnie isn't really dressed for blending in with crowds!
"Hold on." Bliss pushed her seat back and put one finger, that she saw as three, towards Travis. "I gotta turn my headset on. People can't do simple jobs and thwart plans to brainwash people unless I am doing everything for everyone at all times." Fidgeting around with the device finally got the device to come back online, but the coordination to get it in her ear took a moment more than it should have.
"Bliss!"
And the ear piece came out of Bliss' ear. "Apparently it involves screaming to. I'm gonna go to the VIP section now. I'm Bliss, and I can do whatever I want and no one can stop me. Later guy-dude; off to be a hero."

What's your genius? What's the one thing that makes you brilliant, that sets you aside from others, that keeps you up late at night or forces you to jump out of bed at unusual times?
I'm a firm believer that we are all born a genius, that we carry with us a specific gift, a unique intelligence that was deposited in us from birth. I wholeheartedly believe that this special quality exists just awaiting our acknowledgement. Our job, like it or not, is to discover it, nurture it, and give it back to the world.
Truth is, if you spend a little quiet time with yourself, you'll find your genius. Maybe you already have. Has it been your secret since childhood? Was it your grandmother who recognized it first? Or was it that random stranger who peeped it during a strange encounter. We've heard it repeated through the years. You know you're brilliant!
This genius wasn't taught to you, even though, it can be refined through study and practice. No one can claim they gave it to you, but there will be lots of people who can say they helped you bring it out.
This part of you may never be attached to your career. It may not have shown up on your school report cards. Many of us will live and die without ever claiming it, without ever using it all up. But that doesn't preclude its natural existence.
You are a genius and deep down inside you believe it too.
It's time you let your genius free. Let your brilliance shine through in a way that makes it undeniable. Just be you. You deserve it. Our children are in need of it. The world can't live without it.


After years spent apart, this STL couple makes sure they never have to be long-distance again.
THEIR STORY As a freshman at SLU, Megan Brink hung out almost daily at Phil Voissem's apartment with her friends and his roommates—just never while Phil was actually there. They finally met, thanks to one of her future bridesmaids, just before he graduated and moved to Wisconsin. Still, the couple built a relationship over hour-long phone conversations before bed each night, and after just three months together, Phil knew that Megan was a keeper.
Fast forward to 2011, and the couple had been dating long-distance for four and a half years. To celebrate Phil's acceptance into dental school (and to finally spend some time together in the same place), they booked a two-week trip to Iceland. Megan says that everyone except her had guessed that Phil would propose on the trip.
COCKTAIL CASUAL Megan and Phil wanted a relaxed cocktail party atmosphere for their wedding day. After an intimate ceremony at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Clayton, guests moved to NEO for the reception. The modern space was decorated with a color scheme of light grey and white with yellow accents. Tall monobloom floral arrangements with white orchids filled the space without overpowering it, and chevron patterns added a clean, modern touch to the chairs, tablecloths and favors.
CREATIVE CREPES The newlyweds didn't want their guests to feel like they were glued to their chairs for the whole reception, so almost all of the food was passed by butlers. Guests could also visit three different sweet and savory crepe stations—in honor of the breakfast the couple was having when Phil proposed.
FAMILY AFFAIR Keeping family involved in their special day was very important to Megan and Phil. The bridal party included Megan's sisters and Phil's brother, and their spouses served as ushers and readers. Megan's brother was serving with the Marines in Afghanistan at the time, but he still had a presence in their wedding day as an honorary groomsman. Megan wrapped his dog tags around her bouquet as her "something borrowed," and talked with him before she walked down the aisle and after the reception—the only two times during his deployment they were able to speak.
UNPLUGGED To add to the casual feel of the day, the reception featured an acoustic band playing classics and new favorites. Guests could dance if they wanted, but conversations weren't overpowered by blasting tunes. For their first dance, the couple chose Adele's "Make You Feel My Love." They had searched for "their song" for years, but didn't find it until their trip to Iceland. While driving the Ring Road during a long summer sunset, the song came on the radio and they knew right away it was the one.


Preflop I raised from EP with ATo and had one caller. We made top pair medium/good kicker and hero continuation bets. Villain calls.
On the turn, hero continuation bets, hero calls.
River, hero checks, villain bets 1/4 pot, hero calls.
Should I have continued betting on the turn? If yes, at what frequency?
On the river, facing the villain's 1/4 pot bet, should I have just folded? I feel like he could've been representing any AX hand, and I could be beating majority but not a lot. Other hands (diamonds and any 4h or 4s) tend to beat me as well.
I'd check the turn, not sure what you beat that will call. Draws get there and any worse Ax is gunna fold, maybe A9 doesnt but thats thin. He could also have A8 A7 A4 that has you beat.

Jay would huffily tell you all about how you want the world to suffer so you can spend another Christmas with your gundams.
If only someone had foreseen this we'd have had time to prepare.
https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Globa … t_2006.pdf
Over the past year, the risk of an H5N1 or other avian flu pandemic has generated increasing anxiety in much of the world. If the avian flu H5N1
virus mutates to enable human-to-human transmission, it may disrupt our global society and economy in an unprecedented way and claim
human life at levels close to the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu pandemic. The 1918 flu infected half the world and between 40 and 50 million people
The other two flu pandemics of the last
century – in 1957 and 1968 – were less severe.
The World Health Organization has disclosed estimates of potential deaths in a full-fledged avian
flu pandemic of between 2 and 7.4 million, up to a worst-case of between 20 and 40 million deaths.
But this is dependent on the mutation of the virus allowing it to be spread rapidly from human
to human.
A conflation scenario for H5N1
New pandemics such as SARS (before its emergence) and human variants of avian flu lie on the continuum between unknown (u) and unknowable (U) risks. Unlike human flu or animal foot and mouth disease – where it is known that outbreaks will reoccur and past experience provides a reasonably
accurate guide as to their impact – new viral diseases evolve and cause death and secondary economic damage in unpredictable ways.
Global interconnectivity has vastly increased the opportunities for the emergence and rapid transmission of disease and the myriad linkages in the global economy enable systemic economic, social and political contagion as well.
The following is a brief sketch of the possible conflationary impacts of a major human outbreak.
Several cities in East Asia suffer major outbreaks of human-to-human transmission. International travel is severely affected, pandemic-specific vaccine supplies are secured and security authorities prepare for external contingencies and domestic insurgency. Emergency supply chain management is instituted, based on the possibility that 50% of those infected die. Commodities and services needed to survive for one to three years are identified. Non-critical industries reduce output or close. Even with full-scale vaccine production in nine countries with 12% of the global population, fewer than 500 million people (14% of the world's population) can be vaccinated in a year.
An outbreak of H5N1 human-to-human transmission could have devastating impacts globally across all social and economic sectors, disrupting efficient processes, severely degrading response capabilities and exacerbating the effects of known weaknesses in different systems. These impacts might include:
the disruption of supply chains and trade flows; an exacerbation of financial imbalances and the transformation of intellectual property regimes for pharmaceutical products;
rioting to gain access to scarce supplies of antivirals and vaccines; a collapse of public order;
partial de-urbanization as people flee population centres; the extinction of trust in governments; decimation of specific human skill sets;
and forced, large-scale migration, associated with the further collapse of already weak states.
In such a scenario, the impact on society might be as profound as that which followed the Black Death in Europe in 1348. That plague caused a fundamental transformation of socio-economic relations in Europe. The deaths of an estimated one third of the European population of the time created a shortage of labour, undermining an economy based on serfdom, and effecting a shift in the relative values of capital and labour. Scarcity of labour resources brought about a wage-based economy in which the value of skills was efficiently priced.

yes well done. everyone knew that the world had oodles of reports on this topic. you could even watch disaster scenario porn on natgeo or history channel about global pandemics.
i literally said a few pages ago that having reports written isn't the same thing as investing hundreds of millions into the necessary systems for permanent standby. reports make recommendations at the end, not magically summon them into being. you claimed the whole world 'had experience of sars-1 outbreaks'. absolutely not true.
'if only' - dilbert's engineering creed. very great stuff chap.
It was expected that the first world would perform well in a cornavirus scenario. Politicization of a pandemic was unanticipated in one of the studies I linked before. Epidemiologists will have to make sure and take Trump, Bolsonaro, etc. factors into consideration in their models now I guess. People in high levels of government sabotaging their own countries' countermeasures efforts.
even western nations who were considered 'most prepared' had built their models' assumptions precisely on the flu and spanish influenza as the main antecedent. the UK staged huge simulations and ran national-level wargames on just such an outbreak (famously 'operation cygnet', in 2008). these all took as certain fundamental assumptions that the onset of the next pandemic-level outbreak would be similar to flu.
sars-cov-2's infection profile is nothing like flu. and, unlike sars-1, it is radically different in its early onset and main window of infectivity, too. even with all the best will in the world, i really think the first few months of any outbreak were going to be a mess, regardless. the only countries that could quickly pivot to the right footing were ones which had very recently just de-escalated from their own major epidemic response measures.
dilbert's report mentions H5N1, avian and swine flus (and rightly so, the US has had several major swine flu epidemics, with a sizeable number of deaths, in the 21s century already). but sars-cov-2 is NOT H5N1.

When the inevitable omicron explosion descends on South Korea, the kind of restrictive approach to dealing with the virus will have run its course, top officials say.
In a news briefing Friday, the Health and Economy ministries said Korea will focus on keeping its businesses and other aspects of daily life as open as possible once the new variant starts dominating the scene.
The characteristics of omicron called for "a shift in a paradigm toward a more flexible response," said Health Minister Kwon Deok-cheol.
"When omicron becomes dominant, cases are almost certain to rise significantly, in which case Korea will start pursuing a targeted protection of people at higher risk rather than control of the entire community, as it has been so far," he said.
The threshold for transition to the omicron-specific strategy is 7,000 cases occurring per day, the minister said. For the past week, Korea has been counting an average of around 3,700 daily cases.
When that point comes, the country will ease up on many pillars of its pandemic control.
PCR testing, previously open to anyone wishing to get tested, will be offered primarily to older adults ages 65 and up, close contact of confirmed patients and people who have tested positive in rapid antigen tests. People with COVID-19-like symptoms will need a doctor's recommendation to get tested.
For the rest, rapid antigen tests or the at-home kits will be the default testing method.
Contact tracing, conducted for close contacts of patients, will operate on an honor system basis. People who are younger than 60 and without existing health conditions can report their itineraries on a smartphone application.
Clinics will be set up to permit home recovery patients access to in-person care without having them take up bed spaces.
The isolation period for patients will be cut from the current 10 days to seven. Close contacts of patients will be tested on sixth day of quarantine to be released on seventh day depending on test results.
Travel bans on 11 countries -- Botswana, Eswatini, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe -- will end. The mandatory quarantine of 10 days for all arrivals may be adjusted, although the negative PCR testing requirement is likely to remain in place.
This contrasts with lockdown or similarly restrictive steps that other countries like Australia and the Netherlands have taken to counter omicron.
In a release to reporters on the same day the Health Ministry said, "When omicron drives cases up exponentially, the existing ways of responding to the virus may no longer be viable."
well holy shit ... look at that. one of the world's leading nations for pandemic management has just devised a system that makes good fucking sense, considering omicron's infection profile.
Has it been that long?
1. No fraud, but I am happy the voting rights bill won't pass. It is written to favor the activist left, which we all need less of in our lives, not more. January 6th was a bunch of idiots acting the fool but it has been blown entirely out of proportion for political purposes.
2. Sure, I got vaccinated last March. I did it because I knew Cuomo wouldn't relax restrictions until he hit his goal. That was me doing my part. I would not oppose mandates if the vaccine actually prevented infection, but it doesn't. The community protection argument is persuasive only if it were to actually protect the community, rather than just lessening serious illness for individuals. Protecting hospital space is not critical enough in my eyes.
3. Overblown, but real. Enough people have been forced to take DEI training that a garbled, half educated version does make it down to kids. I think DEI in general is an abomination.
4. Only became an issue because it was an election year.
And I'm not back, I just checked in for the first time in months because I'm traveling and bored. This place turned me into an angry person when I was actively here.
no one cares lard ass. get a booster.
Sorry we made you feel that way.
because the kind benevolent scientist men told you it's good for you, and you don't want your family turning up in one of those news stories that talk about your death-bed regrets. 'ayn rand was wrong … i was … betrayed by alex jones …'
Stop bullying him and Dilbert.
That doesn't answer my question, now does it? Why do I need a booster? What will it do for me?
Do you use facemask?
When it's required, but they're about as good at keeping away the covid bogeyman as a rosary prayer is at warding off evil spirits.

Women's Day Interview Exclusive ft. Elsa, founder of Woomanpower: Infinite Possibilities for Connecting Women, Remote Work, and Online Learning
March 14, 2022 July 27, 2022 Agnes Mutiara No Comments
Woomanpower Opening Ceremony photo by: Woomanpower
Woomanpower – Women's Power Academy, lead by Sherry, who has a background of senior headhunting consultants, and Elsa who is also an author of "Give up 22k, jump in Singapore!". These two women co-founded an online academy exclusively for women. The academy was officially launched in 2021. During the enrollment period of less than four months, they have reached nearly 1,500 sign-ups. In the second session, the number of students enrolled almost reached 1,800. In the past two years, the Women's Academy has assembled nearly 100 female entrepreneurs, workplace experts and opinion leaders from various fields in Taiwan to lead students to study online together every week, one physical lecture every month, and exclusive 5-10 in-depth sessions and workshops.
Today, Slasify is honored to invite two of the best representatives of "women's power" – Sherry and Elsa, to talk to readers about "women's power", and how does the principal manage the Woomanpower team with more than 1,700 students with less than 10 staff collaborate remotely? Then, we will be discussing how the remote working trend and how it will benefit women through the perspective of former headhunter and entrepreneur of Sherry and Elsa.
Woomanpower second session's Ambassadors photo by: Woomanpower
|The initial intention and mission of establishing an online learning platform exclusively for women|
Before the Women's Academy, Sherry has hosted many online and offline courses, and she was also a keen learner. She took a lot of classes outside. Usually during classes, men are more active in asking questions, while women usually preferred to wait, or approach the lecturer by the end of the class to ask the question. She found that "women need a sense of security and belonging more than men." At the same time, women's common workplace problems revolve around "career, family, life" which results in women encounter various kinds of changes in different identities.
This has become the motivation and mission of Sherry and Elsa to co-found Woomanpower, to create a female-only, stress-free learning environment, and to study with their women peers throughout the year. At the same time, before the class. Just like us, people have experienced many ups and downs and encountered difficulties, which can build connection between the students and the lecturer through empathy.

| Solutions for townships and borders|
Speaking about online learning, Sherry said that the purpose of setting online classes at the beginning was to solve the problem of the urban-rural gap, so that women can study without restrictions on location and time. Recording of the courses are provided so the that it can be replayed from time to time within one year. However, if time and schedule allowed, students are encouraged to join live classes as often as possible to seize the opportunity to interact with the lecturer. In addition, a physical session is scheduled every month can be also leverages as a platform for students to get together, plus the principal's value-added course offered by the college, and the six major clubs. Most of the activities recording are available online. This is also the purpose of Sherry and Elsa's founding the organization: to connect the infinite possibilities of women, so that there are "Woo Girls" all over the world, and become a bridge for establishing personal connections.

|Find a communication method that suits the team is one of the most important tools|
Similar to Slasify, the women's colleagues also adopt a remote working style. However, unlike Slasify, when asked about the daily communication of the college, Sherry said that they tried to use communication and collaboration software such as Slack, yet instant massaging such as Line and Facebook messenger is still more preferable due to its convenient. To keep everyone in the same page, all the staffs will be going through the team meeting twice a week to ask progress update and team communication. During the meeting, other participants will also be asked whether they fully understand what the other colleague is doing. In addition, Sherry also added that the logic of work order is very important, and the colleague is currently reorganizing the Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) of some tasks to make the internal work process smoother.
|Talking about the trend of remote work with Sherry and Elsa from Headhunter and Entrepreneur Perspective|
The two had been working in their respective fields for a long time before establishing the Women's Academy. When asked about opinion on the trend of remote work, according to her observation, about 70% of the jobs on the market are now suitable for remote work. "But if there are better tools for tracking the progress of work, it can even grow from 70% to 80%." She said that when so much work can be done at home, tying employees to the office for eight hours is actually It doesn't make much sense, and she added: "The office should be a place where everyone gathers occasionally. In the future, there will be more shared offices across teams. Maybe next year, the Women's College will negotiate with a furniture store to cooperate and use one office together. Maybe."
|Jointly create the resonance effect of the Women's Academy|
After the success of the first session and the completion of the second session, the two principals have a clearer understanding of the outlines of the students. In September 2022, they will recruit students again for next year. What kind of women are recommended to study in the program? "She must clearly know why she wants to change." Sister S said, because the curriculum of the academy is quite extensive, although the monthly theme arrangement and priority order are carefully designed, in a one-year course, not necessarily you are interested in every topics. If you don't know the purpose of your study, it is easy to give up halfway, or feel that this class is useless.
However, the author is currently working remotely (yes! Slasify is a fully remote team), and as a two-year student of the Women's Academy, I can share my thoughts here: think about what you have learned when you encounter it Practical application in life? If the knowledge that is not used at present, maybe it will be useful one day. If you feel that the teaching is too shallow, think about how you would pass the same knowledge to others if you were yourself? As Sherry said, students who hope to join women's power "have a feeling for people, want to help others, and grow together with others." The last two principals said, "Woomanpower focuses on Uni Diversity, and each of us is a differentiated existence. But come together and help each other."

Q: How to install Canon LBP 3300 printer in Ubuntu 18.04? Recently I changed to Linux from windows and I have a printer Canon LBP 3300. which is working fine in windows but in ubuntu it's not working. I can't print anything also there is no option to print both side in the paper and it seems to missing many options. How can I fix this ?

Lurssen AURORA Cruising Australia
News » Articles » Lurssen AURORA Cruising Australia
AURORA represents new dawn for megayachts in Brisbane
The Brisbane skyline will present a glorious backdrop for the largest superyacht to visit the River City, 74m (243ft) MY AURORA, Friday 21 December.
This magnificent, five-deck, privately owned superyacht is the first of its kind to enter the City reach of the Brisbane River.
"Welcoming AURORA to the City Reach of the Brisbane River is an historic event," said Rivergate General Manager, Andrew Cannon.
"AURORA is one of many international superyachts forecast to head to our shores in the next few years, taking advantage of all our region has to offer and generating revenue at many levels in the marine and tourism industries."
The complex operation was made possible thanks to Rivergate with the collaboration of Maritime Safety Queensland, Harbour Master Johnathan Beatty and superyacht logistics consultancy, Foreign Flag Yachting.
AURORA is a fully-custom built superyacht from renowned esteemed German shipyard Lürssen.
She arrived in Brisbane at the end of November and has been an impressive sight towering amid the various sailing and motor yachts berthed at Rivergate Marina & Shipyard.
AURORA chose the world-class Rivergate for minor works, engine checks, refueling and provisions.
Captain Stephen Bay helms AURORA, ably assisted by a multinational crew trained to the highest standards. A veteran of two seasons cruising in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, AURORA made the 12,000 nautical mile voyage to Australia virtually non-stop.
The epic voyage began in Barcelona in mid-October, headed to Albania, via the Suez Canal to Sri Lanka where they refueled, then skirting Indonesia, around the top of the Gulf of Carpentaria and along the Queensland coastline to Brisbane's Rivergate Marina and Shipyard – a journey of seven weeks.
"Asia, the South Pacific and Australia hold a definite allure for international superyacht owners," said Captain Stephen Bay. "Australia is a long way from Europe and the US, but guests are looking for alternatives to the Med and Caribbean."
Once here, the distances between cruising grounds such as the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef, Sydney, Melbourne, Tasmania and emerging destination the Kimberley Coast in WA means you have to allow plenty of time to cruise these iconic regions.
AURORA will spend the next few months cruising Australian waters.
"Australia is too big to do everything in one itinerary," said Captain Stephen. "We will definitely look at coming back again."
The 18-month old superyacht, which took three years to build, has massive fuel capacity of 240,000 liters, giving it a remarkable range of 6,500 nautical miles, and a beam of 13m, making AURORA the largest volume superyacht in her class.
A high-tech, modern marvel, AURORA is as environmentally-conscious as she is splendid. Her onboard systems include low emissions engines, sound and vibration dampening, zero-speed stabilizers, glass crushing system, waste water processing and storage, plus watermakers, icemakers, refrigeration, freezers and copious storage for self-sufficiency at sea.
With an exterior profile that incorporates design cues of classic cruise liners of the 20s and 30s, complete with funnel, curved lines and round-edge windows, AURORA'S interiors are sheer opulence.
"Guests can look forward to truly remarkable experiences unique only to Australia," said Cameron Bray, Director at Foreign Flag Yachting who assists in arranging itineraries for visiting superyachts.
"Nature at its finest; hand-feeding kangaroos, holding koala bears, swimming with dolphins, as well as visiting cultural attractions like the Opera House, New Year's Eve on Sydney Harbour, hiking in our National Parks, visiting vineyards, shopping in Melbourne, the vibrant restaurant and café scene and quiet seaside villages of Mornington Peninsula.
"This is about family time together. It's not all about swimming, snorkelling and sun-bathing, but superyacht guests can do that too. That's the appeal of Australia – they can do literally anything!"
Superyachts of the calibre of AURORA represent lucrative flow-on benefits to the ports they visit and the broader community in the form of expenditure on tourism, provisions, service and maintenance.
The global superyacht fleet numbers around 5,000 (vessels above 80ft) according to Superyacht Intelligence 2016, and shipyard order books show the number and size of yachts are growing exponentially.
In Australia, the superyacht industry is estimated to support a total of around 14,500 full-time jobs worth $1.2 billion in wages and salaries and contributing $190 million per annum via foreign tourist/ guest and crew expenditure to the Australian economy. (Source: Independent Economic Impact Study by AEC 2016).
"Rivergate is extremely proud to host AURORA and her crew for their preparation ahead of their Australian cruising experience," said Rivergate's Andrew Cannon.
"Rivergate and the Australian superyacht fraternity are highly active in international circles, flying the flag for Australia's service and refit industry and our remarkable, pristine cruising grounds."
Since commencing operations in 2006, Rivergate has worked with more than 250 major superyachts and is renowned as the Captains' and owners' choice for service and refit. Rivergate was named in the Top 3 world's best shipyard for refits, according to Captains and Crew, as reported in Boat International in December 2017.

Sorry if this question seems dumb but looking over your page I couldn't find your installation guides. I'm just purchased an RT-N16 and I don't want to do something to brick it so that's why i'm just trying to confirm this before I attempt it.
For this build you've created, since it's a .trx file, can I just go right in to the firmware and update using this file or do I have to flash to DD-WRT first then go to your build? Or do I have to use the Asus Firmware Restoration Utility?
I saw different advice depending on where I searched in your posts so I wanted to be clear.
I saw this in a post of yours from linksysinfo.org.
"To flash Asus RT-N16 and RT-N12 with this build, use Asus Firmware Restoration Utility (worked like a charm for me many times before I was able to produce a bootable firmware image), or load DD-WRT first, and then flash Tomato from DD-WRT Web UI"
Sorry again if I sound like a total noob. I just don't want to waste money that I spent on this thing by bricking it.
Update to the DD-WRT mini RT-N16 build first, then TomatoUSB after that. The Asus firmware won't take Tomato directly.
In my experience, i install tomato with the Asus Firmware Restoration Utility and all works perfectly.
In case anyone who may come across this site was interested and needs help. Here is a guide I found to install TomatoUSB on the Asus RT-N16.
3. Plug in the router while holding the reset button on the back of the router.
This puts the router in recovery mode, which is necessary to flash using the Asus Firmware Restoration utility. If you try using the restoration utility and the router is not in recovery mode or is not connected it will say, "No wireless device in recovery mode is found".
4. Run Firmware Restoration from Asus Utility which you installed in step 1.
In Firmware Restoration browse for the firmware image you extracted in step 2 and click Upload.
5. After the upload is complete open your browser, go to the router by typing 192.168.1.1, when prompted for a username and password enter "admin" for both. Go to Administration > Configuration > Restore Default Configuration, select "Erase all data in NVRAM memory (thorough)" and click OK. To insure that the processor has time to complete addressing all NVRAM variables it's best to wait about 5 minutes before making any changes.
You are now ready to start using your Asus RT-N16 with Tomato.
If I remember right, I think I used a tftp PUT command to transfer the TomatoUSB .trx file to the router during reset-boot "recovery" mode.
That's the way I did my WL-520GU but for this one I tried the method above and seemed to work easy enough.
Wicked, thanks for the instructions. Worked like a charm.
I followed the written instructions for flashing TomatoUSB onto my new ASUS N16. It actually did not hang at 33%, but completed to the point where I am receiving a message to wait for the router to reboot. It never does and the router locks into the rescue/restore mode (power light slowly blinking). Even if I turn the router off and back on, it stays in this mode. Any ideas?


The team at the University of Oxford shows the virus is being "watered down" as it adapts to our immune systems.
Some virologists suggest the virus may eventually become "almost harmless" as it continues to evolve.
"[Then] the virus is trapped between a rock and hard place, it can get flattened or make a change to survive and if it has to change then it will come with a cost," said Prof Philip Goulder, from the University of Oxford.
The "cost" is a reduced ability to replicate, which in turn makes the virus less infectious and means it takes longer to cause Aids.
This weakened virus is then spread to other people and a slow cycle of "watering-down" HIV begins.
Prof Goulder told the BBC News website: "It is quite striking. You can see the ability to replicate is 10% lower in Botswana than South Africa and that's quite exciting.
The findings in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciencesalso suggested anti-retroviral drugs were forcing HIV to evolve into milder forms.
Prof Goulder added: "Twenty years ago the time to Aids was 10 years, but in the last 10 years in Botswana that might have increased to 12.5 years, a sort of incremental change, but in the big picture that is a rapid change.
Prof Jonathan Ball, a virologist at the University of Nottingham, told the BBC: "If the trend continues then we might see the global picture change – a longer disease causing much less transmission.
Prof Andrew Freedman, a reader in infectious diseases at Cardiff University, said this was an "intriguing study".
He said: "By comparing the epidemic in Botswana with that which occurred somewhat later in South Africa, the researchers were able to demonstrate that the effect of this evolution is for the virus to become less virulent, or weaker, over time.
But he cautioned HIV was "an awfully long way" from becoming harmless and "other events will supersede that including wider access to treatment and eventually the development of a cure".

I've downloaded and installed WinRAR 64 bit release from http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm that will later allow me to decompress Linux type tar.gz packages on Windows.
Now that I had Hadoop downloaded, it was time to start the Hadoop cluster with a single node.
Next I went to C:\hadoop-3.0.0-alpha2\etc\hadoop folder and renamed mapred-site.xml.template to mapred-site.xml.
The next step was to created a new 'data' folder in Hadoop's home directory (C:\hadoop-3.0.0-alpha2\data).
Once done, the next step was to add a data node and name node to Hadoop, by editing c:\hadoop-3.0.0-alpha2\etc\hadoop\hdfs-site.xml file.
In above step, I had to make sure that I am pointing to location of my newly created data folder and append the datanode and namenode as shown in example.
It's usually better to use Windows short names here.
Next in C:\hadoop-3.0.0-alpha2\bin using windows command prompt as admin run: 'hdfs namenode -format' command.
After I did so, I've saved my words to words.txt, but to make it little more fun, I've replaced some of them with my last name, for a total of 96 unique words and 4 that are repeated last name.
Once I ran my code, it executed and started processing the words.txt file that was prior to execution copied to input folder (which I created earlier together with the output folder for the outcome files).
Once done, I've looked up the output folder and voila! Words.txt was processed by Hadoop. Here is the result. It's of course not the most perfect Hadoop wordcount, but I wanted to have all words as unique, except my last name, to make sure that the wordcount and Hadoop work as intended, which the result proved. Outcome is sorted, counts are provided correctly.

Getting to middle adulthood demands a shift in priorities. Once you stop needing to count the days to your next paycheck, it's time to start really planning out your financial future. There are so many money traps that can get in the way, and you may not even realize it.
Now that you have a decent income, don't let your social obligations strip it away. Here are 6 money traps that you should avoid at all costs in your 30s.
Don't buy a fancy car to impress people you don't like, just because you can. People need transportation, but there's so much variability in price that you have to spend wisely. New cars can be one of the biggest money pits a person can get stuck in.
A car fresh from the manufacturer loses about 30% of its value in the first year, and half by the end of three years. Learning to protect and enjoy what we already have will make it easier to set aside more income for investing.
Owning a home that increases in value can be a practical expense, but there's a point of diminishing returns. When you are funneling every dime you have into a mortgage on a home that you really can't afford, you have no money left for emergencies.
A monthly payment that you can barely manage could place an enormous weight on your budget for 30 years, on average. Instead, keep an eye on the local market and buy when you can get a home for a moderate price you can easily handle.
Although paying for a house and car could be the biggest hits to your monthly income, you might be shocked by the effect little expenses can have. Dining out used to mean the cheap pizza joint on the corner or fast food. Now that you have more discretionary income, you may think you could step it up a little.
Everyone wants a little entertainment now and then, but you should still budget for it. Give yourself a little room to spend on the things you really want to do, and keep it under control. You'll enjoy the break all the more for the effort.
Even if you are the master of your own money, other people may have a habit of getting in the way of your financial plans. Failing to communicate about spending habits with a significant other is a major cause of relationship trouble for married couples.
If you are dating or just getting into a long-term relationship, it is tempting to blow your budget with gifts, entertainment and travel. Don't let too many weekend getaways take away your ability to plan effectively for the future. Make your expectations clear from the start, and you will avoid a lot of fights over money in the years to come.
There's a reason so many people think that credit card debt is the worst ever, and that's because it is.
Credit cards are relatively easy to access these days, even if you don't have solid income or good credit. This means that you might have a few monsters lurking in your wallet from your college days, with interest rates higher than you could get by investing.
Every time you spend money on a credit card and don't pay it back by the end of the grace period, you are paying for the convenience of spending money. It can be tempting to open a new credit card once you max one out. And all the while, more of your budget gets eaten up with interest payments.
There's an easy way to stop the cycle and improve your credit score. Keep your budget less than your income, and stick to it. And don't open new credit cards.
Although some people put a lot of emphasis on short-term investment gains, planning for retirement is a marathon, not a sprint. The earlier you start, the more you could accumulate. Beginning investments and retirement planning are all about the balance between paying your expenses, eliminating current debts and setting aside money that can help pay you back.
Make sure you make the most of investing in your 30s.
Life moves fast, and you don't want to lose track of your opportunities. Investing now gives you decades to pick up skills and confidence, and watch your money grow.
