Replying To zinny: "FOX is the most watched TV news station in the USA. So if all these legitimate stories were being suppressed was FOX running them? if so they were not suppressed. The US has plenty of national media outlets that have different points of view and I would find it impossible to believe that anything could be suppressed in todays US media. Facebook and Twitter are not media outlets and their challenge is to ensure that their platforms are not used to spread lies and hate."
Well to use one example, in the aftermath of Bidens victory, I heard many people say that its great to have a man in the white house who respects women, when in fact numerous women have accused Biden of sexual assault.
Trump has been accused of being a homophobe, when actually he's the first president to ever enter office supporting same sex marriage (Obama started supporting it after getting elected after his army of pr advisers told him to).
I could be here all day giving other examples, the laptop is another one, if that was one of trumps sons it'd be 1000 times bigger a story.

Definitely there should be a move to 32 County Socialist Republic within the next few years. The cost of living crisis shows there needs to be a big redistribution of wealth on this island. A lot of people are really struggling while others have a lot more than they need. Everyone should have a half decent quality of life and we need a Republic that's wants the best for all its citizens and not just "elites". Also Covid highlighted the need for all Ireland approach going forward.

Trump was able to capitalise on a general discontent, an understandable one too, with how mainstream politicians in America were managing the country, and I enjoyed watching him make the Bushes and Clintons et al squirm.
This won't happen in this country because no matter how bad it gets, and its going to get bad, ff and fg know that our populace will always give them enough votes to lead, which means that in our own way, we too must be at least a little brainwashed.

Jeez you're a big trump apologist... He was able to capitalize on a general discontent and yes we are not going to see too much of a change in ireland but we are far from brainwashed. the huge changes in society and culture in this country in past few decades show that isnt true at all
Trump is the biggest threat to democracy in America since the foundation of the state. He was and remains a hugely corrosive and divisive figure who wields immense power in the Republican Party. No good can come from him.
Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 5814 - 20/09/2022 11:04:51
Yep. he harnessed and built on the tea party section of the republicans and has very much widened the gap and differences between Left and Right
I'm not so sure about your analysis of voting trends in this country, FF and FG are struggling badly in the polls amongst the millennials and that means anyone under 40 these days. They need to make some inroads into the cost of living and housing or else they will be out on their backsides come the next general election.
Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2189 - 20/09/2022 11:58:24 They may struggle on polls but most likely will still be in power next time round as Sinn Fein wont get enough seats and few or no others will join them to make a government.
Census in the North on Thursday expected to show a Nationalist/ Catholic majority for the first time. United Ireland still not in sight in the short term as a sizeable 20%-25% of those of the Nationalist/ Catholic tradition has been indoctrinated into the British state. It was always thought that a Catholic/ Nationalist majority would mean a United Ireland but that no longer holds. It is fairly ironic and laughable that these former Nationalists are now propping up the state of those in Unionism who sought to make them second class citizens. Still will be a momentous development for Unionists to find themselves a minority in a state they created for that never to be the case. The Unionist state has gone forever at least.
REDANDBLACK30 (Down) - Posts: 1549 - 20/09/2022 13:47:55 20-25% of Catholics havent been indoctrinated into British State. they simply see many of the benefits of British state system being far better than being in the republic.
Trump is not the greatest threat to democracy in American history ffs. Don't be so extreme.
The media has had an absolute shocker throughout the course of his candidacy and presidency. The pro Clinton /Biden leanings of all but a few stations was like something you'd see in a 3rd world country,with twitter, Facebook, cnn etc suppressing stories that might hurt Biden in the run up to the 2020 election. Outrageous carry on for a so called democracy.
A partial media is a far greater threat to democracy than Trump.
Also, any politician outside of the centre is by their very nature divisive,he's no less divisive than Krystal Matthews (look up her speech on getting elected), except for his profile.
Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1316 - 20/09/2022 14:12:30 Nonsense.
Trump was totally the worst threat to democracy considering his actions, isolationism, etc etc
Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1316 - 20/09/2022 15:56:54 numerous women? maybe there were allegations but with some of them they were proven to be false.
Trump is far from a big supporter of gay rights.

What exactly do you see as a 32 county socialist republic? and what would it bring to ireland and its people?
how would you redistribute wealth anyway?

They have absolutely been indoctrinated. Morally the partition of Ireland is wrong and is a relic of colonialism. Either they have never read a history book or they choose to turn a blind eye to this. Also economically living standards in the Republic are far higher than in the North (look at the difference in benefits for instance). The only tangible benefit is the NHS. In the early 1900s the North was the most prosperous region of Ireland shipbuilding etc but since partition that has totally flipped especially since the Celtic tiger.
A Socialist 32 County Republic would really help Ireland. Like if you capped the maximum possible wage of an individual at €60,000 then you could make the lowest salary of a full time at €40,000 thus reducing inequality in society and the need for food banks. It would stop greed and lead to a fairer distribution of resources. Also the British would be gone their imperialism has held Ireland back from reaching its full potential.

It all depends on the parliamentary arithmetic, as in any political system. FF in particular are a bunch of chancers who will do anything to get a few bums on ministerial seats, so I wouldn't be so sure that it can't happen. Not so long ago we were told that an FF/FG coalition was impossible.
FF/FG have been playing the "greens under the bed" card for the last few years, since SF became a real competitor to them, conveniently ignoring: (1) the origins of their own parties; and (2) that those same parties have been championing SF's involvement in parliamentary politics/government in the North in the past three decades. Utter hypocrisy.
Again: as long as FF/FG prioritize the needs of vested interests over those of a growing proportion of the Irish people, they will continue to decline.

That's the problem with socialism though. It all sounds great when discussed as an abstract concept. I agree with you that it's a much fairer system but it would be nigh on impossible to actually implement. Simply put, I think we are far too far down the capitalist road to ever realistically turn back. There are too many ultra-wealthy individuals, banks & corporations wielding massive influence who would never let it happen. Short of there being some sort of drastic, military coup d'etat (and we don't want to go there!) in the country who could turn the whole thing upside down I can't see it.
The best that can be done I think is to chip away at the wealthiest corporations with taxes and to redistribute the wealth as equitably as possible.

Replying To GreenandRed: "They're a well-oiled machine when it comes to elections though. They just need the electorate to believe enough spin to tick the box that day. FF and FG will be at the same grabbing old men and women in from the country that voted on party lines for generations. The unsocial media splash the week of election telling you what they 'achieved'. The local fliers telling you about the safe parking initiatives they've implemented outside schools in the constituency. A few prominent faces on the telly telling you Sinn Féin's plans are ridiculous. I think it's nearly easier to portray yourself as a credible candidate in 2022 telling half-truths on unsocial media to gullible potential voters.. In the 70s shoe leather was worn when TDs went on the campaign. Pressing the flesh going door to door. Canvassers standing on pillars outside churches on Sundays telling the after mass crowd you how many roads their man built and sure vote him back in. There's not many voters in churches any more. A nice photo for the poster, a bit of blas for Facebook and Twitter, get in a heated debate on TV and you're half way to Kildare Street. I still admire any of them that get involved. Would rather have them anyday over the man in the street that said he didn't vote because sure aren't they all corrupt."
Well yes and no. Yes in the sense that they have a lot of cumainn and constituency volunteers and whatnot. They also have a large proportion of the mainstream media on their side, between INM, The Irish Times (who have gone into hysterics since the last general election), RTÉ and the British-owned media outlets.
No in the sense that the segment of the population who you would expect to be influenced heavily by social media (the under 40s) are turning away from them in large numbers.
Ireland does have significant corruption issues and I wouldn't personally admire many domestic politicians, it's kinda a least-worst option scenario a lot of the time.
That's straight out of the Trump playbook of "fake news" and "all of the media is against us." Wasn't it terrible of the media to report on his appalling reaction to what happened in Charlotte? Wasn't it terrible of the media to report on his gross incompetence in the face of Covid? Wasn't it terrible of the media to highlight his role in the storming of the Capitol? These are just a few examples of the behaviour that very clearly exhibited the fact that he was unfit for office. He is a pathological liar. He is an immense threat to democracy in America because of his propagation and perpetuation of the lie that he lost the election. Millions swayed by Trump's supporters in the mainstream media and by social media commentary believe him. This has completely undermined trust in the democratic institutions that were so hard won by the Founding Fathers. Those institutions have stood the test of time and hopefully they will resist Trump's onslaught. Trump's self serving onslaught is ongoing and is very dangerous. You are not comparing like with like. Krystal Matthews is a state politician. Trump is a former president who has an iron grip on the Republican Party.

I don't know myself, but could you give a figure of how much money the government would lose in tax if they decided to cap the wage at 60k.
I'm a postman and many of my colleagues who do alot of overtime would earn over 60k a year. Would you ban them from doing overtime then or what?
Would doctors, employers etc be banned from earning that money too? I'm sure they'd be happy to take their business elsewhere if your plan was implemented.

You are probably right that elites etc would always block it from happening. A Universal Basic Income (UBI) say €25,000 -€30,000 would be easy to implement if an Irish government had the will to do so. UBI has been trialled in Finland with several positive societal developments; the basic income in Finland led to a small increase in employment, significantly boosted multiple measures of the recipients' well-being, and reinforced positive individual and societal feedback loops. UBI would provide individuals with at least a moderate standard of living.
I watched a show about Dan Breen recently on TG4 and it said that Irish freedom fighters didn't fight for poverty and unemployment but to improve the lives of all Irish people. Breen described how life under British rule made people "serfs". The poverty in Dublin under British rule was stark. A lot of people have a good standard of living and independence has improved the lives of Irish people no doubt but some people have been let behind and they must be helped in different economic times. Also a United Ireland must be achieved as the rebels of 1916 did not fight for to establish a 26 county Republic, but a 32 county Republic.
Trump is a dreadful person. It's beyond belief that he ended up where he did. He is part of a wider problem in the world. You can't call out Trump or Johnson or a number of other idiots without being called a soft lefty, that's a bigger problem. My politics are slightly left of centre but I would call out some of the rubbish that goes on from the left also.
Trump still has a certain amount of sway in the party but he doesn't have an iron grip at all. Poll numbers are often skewed towards a certain demographic. The chief republicans don't want Trump to run, for good reason, he won't win.

Replying To Galway9801: "

If anyone was allowed to break the cap it wouldn't work because no one would adhere to it. Doctors/ employers would hopefully see the societal good it would do and put that that above their own interests. If they didn't they are very selfish. Like the fact they have a professional job would still be reflected in the fact they would earn €20,000 more than those in non professional jobs. Is it right that people have a lot more than they need while others can't even afford the basics?? The key issue is the level of income disparity between the have and have nots is too high and needs to be reduced. I am not an expert but there are many economists and experts who know what needs to be done to fundamentally reshape the economy in a fairer way.
The cap would have to be respected but no overtime for postal workers etc but such workers could be allowed to work a four day week for the same money.
Not sure of a figure the government would lose in taxes but it would be a good few billion but that could be made up by doubling corporation tax/ windfall taxes?? A four day week would also help with work/life balance and people's mental health and reduce stress and anxiety etc. The poor will not be worried about paying bills, people will have more free time etc so the Irish Government would save a lot of money in terms of the health budget which they could then reinvest in vital services.

Trump was born into a life of entitlement. Couple that with an narcissistic ego the size of the universe and you begin to understand the extent of how loathsome a character he is. There is a certain (perhaps unfair) stereotype of an American. You know the kind - overweight, convinced of their own superiority and a complete loudmouth. Basically Trump.
He is a threat to democracy in the US. I do not know how anyone could come to any other sort of conclusion after what happened during the Capitol Hill riots. What happens in he runs again and fails? He has been accustomed to getting his own way since the womb. In episodes of Reeling in the Years in the future our grandchildren will wonder in astonishment at how such a reprobate ever got near the White House in the first place.

Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell have pulled back from their positions articulated immediately after the storming of the Capitol. They called out Trump. They have stepped back and now no longer unequivocally lay the blame at Trump's four. They are afraid to antagonise Trump. They don't want Trump yo run but they don't publicly oppose him because they are afraid that such an act would split the party. They are also afraid that Trump souls launch a campaign as an independent were he to fail to get the nomination in 2024. Trump is by far the most influential figure in the Republican Party. Try telling him he wouldn't win. The chief Republicans don't want Trump to run but they can't stop him.

I never said all the media is against him, I said most of it is, and I was right to say that because its true. You disliking him doesn't make that right, or untrue. If you even half believed that stuff you posted just now, you wouldn't be trying to excuse the media bias.
Put any politician under the type of microscope that you put Trump under avd you'd believe they're unfit for office.
Don't be so naive and speak as if these democratic institutions you seem to have so much faith in are standing the test of time.
Never in my lifetime anyways have the ruling classes been so detached from the people they claim to represent, and I personally don't believe fhr one moment that the politicians we vote in go into office wanting to fight for us.
There is a general discontent throughout the Western world, and a widening gap between our leaders and their people, with us citizens having almost no say in how our societies are run.
Trump is a direct result of what happens when "mainstream" politicians behave like this.
The same republicans didn't want him to run in '20 either, not because they believe he won't win (whoever runs in' 24 for the republicans will win), but because most of them are effectively Democrats, and didn't agree with his populist message.

2016 you mean? And he was an unknown quantity in 16. He is far less popular now than he was losing an election to Biden in 20. That is the difference. Top republicans quietly backed him pre 20 election, that isn't the case now. Whoever runs for the Republicans will win is just a daft statement.

ELIZABETHAN NAVIGATOR DELL'ARCANO DEL MARE
[DUDLEY (Sir Robert) 1574-1649] Half-length Portrait of a Cartographer Navigator, holding a pair of dividers, a probable likeness of Robert Dudley, Florentine School, c.1605
Oil on Canvas, 27 x 28 ins. contemporary style gilt frame,
Sir Robert Dudley was the son of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, favourite, and lover of Queen Elizabeth I. Leicester had married in secret Lady Douglas Sheffield, by whom he had this son Robert. Leicester later disowned the union and declared Robert Dudley "a base son" or illegitimate. Robert Dudley later became a seaman, with a great understanding of navigation and an ambition to circumnavigate the world. In 1594 he led an expedition to the Orinoco in Guiana, and was knighted after commanding the vanguard at the siege of Cadiz in 1596, which saw the city captured and the Spanish fleet destroyed. His father died in 1588 having fallen out of favour with Elizabeth, but left his "illegitimate" son a fortune and Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire. From 1603 to 1605 he tried to establish his legitimacy at the court of James I, but with lack of evidence and the machination of the corrupt Star Chamber, he lost heart, left his wife and family and left for Florence and the service of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, with his mistress, Elizabeth Southwell.
It was there he published his famous work "Dell' Arcano del Mare", the maritime atlas to encompass the whole world. He styled himself in Italy "Earl of Warwick and Leicester" and "Duke of Northumberland" a title recognized by Emperor Ferdinand I, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and for whom he built Warships, and rebuilt the port of Livorno He refused to return to England to defend these assumptions. There are two portraits known of Robert Dudley, one by Nicholas Hilliard which is now in Sweden, the other at Longleat, which has recently been restored, of Ambrose Dudley and his nephew Robert as a page. The Hilliard portrait show him lightly moustached and bearded, favouring the right side of his face, as ours does. The National Portrait Gallery has another English Portrait which they describe as a "probable likeness".
Despite the youthfulness of the Longleat portrait, the older hirsute Hilliard and the National Portrait Gallery's likely portrait, all have a similar resemblence to our's. The others are bareheaded but our's wears a cap favoured by his father in his well known portraits. Our picture has been examined by the Hamilton Kerr Institute in Cambridge, which confirms that from the pigment analysis, it is late 16th. early 17th century. Having ex-rayed it there is another unfinished potrait underneath. They report that it has been restored twice before. The frame was ordered after the late owner bought it at Christies 25 years ago. He also bought a portrait of Mercator as his interest in Cartography. His widow, who wishes to remain anonymous, and who was contacted by Christies confirms these details.

At its Oct. 11 meeting, City Council ARPA Review Committee voted to recommend the allocation of approximately $7 million in funds to support homeless services and affordable housing projects. A Council Bill is being drafted for City Council to consider at its Oct. 17 meeting.
The proposal to Council will include recommending $3 million for the building of a purpose-driven day center; approximately $2.8 million to supplement a previously approved HOME Investment Partnership American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP); $2.2 million allocation for the creation of a non-congregate shelter; $650,000 for respite care services for the homeless; and approximately $550,000 toward affordable home ownership.
Community Partnership of the Ozarks submitted the proposal for the purpose-drive day center. The Connecting Grounds submitted the proposal for the respite care services.
If approved by City Council, the City's Planning & Development Department will release four separate requests for proposals (RFPs) for projects that will assist the homeless, those at-risk of homelessness, domestic violence survivors, and those at great risk of housing instability. The first RFP will seek proposals for the development of affordable rental housing. The second RFP will seek proposals for the acquisition and development of a non-congregate shelter(s). The third RFP will seek projects that provide supportive services, and the fourth RFP will seek proposals for affordable home ownership.
These funds, if approved, would supplement a total of $3,805,703 in HOME-ARP funding previously approved by City Council. The HOME-ARP program was created in 2021 to address the need for homeless assistance and supportive services. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is available to state and participating local jurisdictions.
"This will help address the top priority needs identified in the consultant report provided to City Council," said ARPA Committee Chair Matt Simpson.
The Committee also agreed to recommend allocating $150,000 for CASA's plans for a clubhouse and play space for foster children and $100,000 for capital improvements at Lincoln Cemetery, a historic African-American cemetery.
Approximately $2.75 million City ARPA dollars remain as a set-aside for potential COVID-19 critical services until/unless these funds are reallocated by City Council. The committee will meet at a later date.
About the City's ARPA Funds:
The City received about $40 million in recovery aid from the federal government. Funds must be obligated by the end of 2024 and spent by the end of 2026.

When, about a month ago, I saw embellished hair claws and hair clips in almost every fashion store in Copenhagen, I felt like a child in a candy store, trying to chose my favourite style and colour. I ended up buying none, because I wasn't sure if the trend was for me. Yesterday, however, I found a glitter hair clip at Mili Store, that I fell in love with right away.
Two other "little things" that make me very happy today: my new mini bag (no, sadly it's not vintage Hermès, but I love it anyway) and my beautiful new delicate gold earring – find the details below!

Hank describes how astronomers used a technique called gravitational lensing to find the most distant galaxy ever detected -- and how NASA is embarking on a new program to use this same technique to peer deeper into space than ever before. He also walks you through some scientific bloopers in the film "Gravity." We won't give it all away, but let's start with this: Sandra Bullock in a diaper.

Hank Green: Welcome back to SciShow News, I'm Hank Green and I want to start this week with the tail of a year old discovery that's about to lead to even more discoveries. Ones that may change our very understanding of the universe. Last year, about this time, I told you about the detection by NASA scientists of what was then the most distant object in the known universe, a galaxy some 13.3 billion light years away, so distant that the light that we see from it likely dates back to 420 million years after the big bang. In universal terms, that's like when the universe was a toddler, visible light was a new thing.
Well, the technique we used to find that galaxy, whose name I won't even try to say out loud, proved so successful that NASA has developed a whole new program around it called frontier fields. Astronomers detect the galaxy by training two of NASA's most powerful space-based telescopes, the Hubble and the Spitzer, on another really, really huge galaxy that was between us and the newly found one. The gravitation of that middle galaxy is so enormous that it bends light around it, which not only allows us to see what's behind it, it also magnifies those background objects in the process. The effect, called gravitational lensing, is a wonderful gift of the laws of physics, but it can be problematic, because it also distorts light, making it hard to tell how distant or massive the background object really is. But by training both telescopes on the distant galaxy, the astronomers were able to factor out those distortions and measure its true size and distance. Now, for the next three years, NASA's going to up the methodological ante by using not two, but three of the world's great orbiting telescopes, Hubble, Spitzer, and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory to create the best astronomical Swiss army knife ever. With these tools, frontier fields will use the lensing effect of six massive galaxy clusters, magnifying background objects that would otherwise be a hundred times too faint to see. And since light from that far away took upwards of 13 billion years to get here, some of those objects are gonna be almost as old as the universe itself. So, frontier fields will also allow us to look back in time and see, perhaps, how the first objects in the universe formed. Since the project launched in October, the telescopes have been trained on the first target, a huge galaxy cluster. With the help of its gravitation, they've already discovered a super-distant supernova. No doubt more awesome discoveries will keep coming over the next three years from frontier fields, and we will keep you posted.
And now for your consideration, some less impressive but equally fun totally fake science. We've made fun of Hollywood's aversion to good science before, but unlike some of the other films we've talked about, there are a couple of new space movies that actually try to maintain some semblance of accuracy. Gravity is one that works really hard to get the science right...ish. I just saw it this weekend, it's about two astronauts, played by Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, who get marooned in open space while on a space walk gone horribly wrong. But critics from Neil deGrasse Tyson to actual real life astronauts have been pointing out some inaccuracies that you may have noticed, I certainly did.
Tyson was quick to point out that the movie had the film's three settings: the Hubble, the ISS, and a Chinese space station, all within sight line of each other, and relatively easy to travel between. The truth is that the Hubble orbits at about 560 km above the earth, the ISS orbits at about 400km above earth, and the Chinese station, as it's depicted, just doesn't exist, though one is in the planning stages. Now, changing orbital planes from like, here to here in orbit, even if you're in a spacecraft, is incredibly time consuming and energy intensive, so it would be basically impossible when floating untethered in space as Clooney and Bullock are.
Speaking of one of my favorite people in the world, Sandra Bullock, there are some problems with her crying. I'm not passing judgement on her acting here, fantastic acting, physically though...it's just that her tears are teardrop shaped, even though liquid is spherical in a weightless environment, also due to surface tension, the tears would not leave her face as they do dramatically in the film, they would just stick to her skin, as you can see in a video that was made by Colonel Hadfield. You should watch it, it's great. Bullock's hair is also apparently immune to low-gravity, refusing to float free when she removes her helmet, hairspray not allowed in space. Also, as several astronauts have noted, though she does look fantastic when she takes off her space suit and is in that really cute outfit, actually she would be wearing full body thermal underwear and an adult diaper, which would be less appealing. But maybe this is taking place in a fictional universe when all those things are close together in orbit and in which astronauts wear cute clothes underneath their space suits.
But the big problems are when physics just got outright violated, so just so you know, when you're in space, uh, you can peo--and it's ea--you don't have to--there's no tension. I do want that fictional universe to have the same physics as my universe, so it does upset me when I see things that are completely not possible as major plot points in the film, which I can't even talk about because I don't want to spoil you. But I do think you should go see it, it's an amazing movie, and you will not breathe the whole time.

It is disappointing that after two years of budget growth "we don't see a shift to a competition agenda," said Kathleen Hicks, member of the National Defense Strategy Commission.
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — Much of the talk this weekend at the West Coast Aerospace Forum and the Reagan National Defense Forum was about the sluggish pace of U.S. military innovation. Experts warned that the Pentagon does not have a solid plan to modernize capabilities in areas where China and Russia are advancing, such as hypersonic weapons, space systems and cyber warfare.
After a two-year defense buildup, the Pentagon is "fixing readiness but it's not a program that points to a culture of innovation," said Kathleen Hicks, senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies and member of the National Defense Strategy Commission. The bipartisan group was created by Congress to review the Pentagon's National Defense Strategy.
A much more downbeat assessment was offered by commission co-chairs Eric Edelman and retired Navy Adm. Gary Roughead, who spoke at the Reagan forum. They noted that the Pentagon faces the possibility of funding cuts next year as a result of Trump administration efforts to cut federal spending. After a two-year defense buildup, growth could come to a halt in 2020, and the Pentagon has done little to show it has invested in technologies to counter China and Russia, they said.
It is disappointing that after two years of budget growth "we don't see a shift to a competition agenda," said Hicks.
Tina Jonas, a senior adviser at the CSIS International Security Program and a former DoD comptroller, said the Pentagon has to first recognize it has a problem, and that could lead to changes in investments. The topic came up last week during an industry gathering where Gen. John Raymond, commander of Air Force Space Command, talked about ongoing efforts in "resilience and offensive space," Jonas said.
Defense officials acknowledge that rearranging budget priorities is like turning around a battleship. Spending plans are drafted years in advance and it takes a lot of negotiating within DoD and with Congress before funds can be reprogrammed. Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson said there is an urgency to innovate so some of the initiatives being pushed today are nontraditional investments such as awarding contracts through industry consortiums and setting up cost-sharing agreements with private companies.
"We are using new authorities Congress gave us to prototype technologies and do faster acquisitions," Wilson said on Saturday at the Reagan forum. A Space Enterprise Consortium was created last year to attract commercial vendors to bid on military contracts. Wilson said 228 companies have joined the consortium to date, and 75 percent never have done business with the Air Force before. The consortium awarded 35 contracts in its first 10 months and the average timeline to award a contract is 90 days. "We need to do more of that," said Wilson.
Jamie Morin, executive director of the Aerospace Corp. Center for Space Policy and Strategy, said DoD is at a crossroads as it weighs how to capture innovation from the private sector and decides what it should develop in-house. The big question is "How do we get real capability and not just one-off demonstrations?" Morin told SpaceNews.
A case in point is the soaring interest in commercial broadband constellations of small satellites, which are capturing billions of dollars in private investment and positioning themselves to grab a share of the military market. The National Defense Strategy calls for investments in resilient space systems, as opposed to traditional satellites that have huge price tags and make attractive targets for adversaries.
Another reason innovation in defense and space has sluggish is that DoD can be fickle about novel approaches to investing and contracting. A case in point are Other Transaction Authority contracts. OTA contracts are cooperative agreements with companies to share the cost of a project, with the expectation that both government and contractors end up benefiting from the investments. The Air Force in recent years has used OTA contracts to ensure commercial rockets that are being developed meet national security requirements.
OTA is seeing a resurgence, but who knows how long that will last, wondered William LaPlante, senior vice president and general manager of MITRE National Security Sector, and a former Air Force procurement executive.
"What I get concerned about is the pendulum swinging on OTAs and section 804," LaPlante said at the West Coast Aerospace Forum hosted by RAND Corp. in Santa Monica, Calif. Section 804 is the legislation that allows DoD to accelerate funding for prototypes. "I first started experimenting with OTAs in 2014," said LaPlante. At the time DoD was against it after several high-profile failures that drew congressional ire.
Just like OTA goes in and out of fashion, will the same happen with consortiums? LaPlante said the high participation in the space industry consortium is "exciting" even though it only handles small projects.

Boy Scout boat building
By Zack Cinek |
PUBLISHED: April 20, 2009 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: August 23, 2018 at 12:00 am
Boat will accompany scouts on future adventures
Hands, 12 of them, and six boys, were at a north Ukiah Main Street building working to finish a wooden boat that they have been working on as a Boy Scout"s project Saturday.
When the boat is finished, the boys will hopefully be able to teach other area children how to make the same wooden kit boat, ringleader of the project, Dusty Dillion said.
The boat building kit is designed to take the shape of a boat during the first hours of its construction.
"It is like a boat on noon the first day," Dillion said. Dillion belongs to the Lost Coast Traditional Small Craft Association which produces a kit for building the boat.
The Small Craft Association, Dillion said, has also placed 10 "Building the Weekend Skiff" books as included in the kit into libraries.
Supported by a stand on each end, boy scouts and their adult counter parts worked side by side to smooth up rough edges and fasten new pieces of wood.
Some tightened wood screws, others used carpentry tools to take off rough edges and to cut off excess material. Bending straight pieces of wood to follow the boat"s contour took a special touch.
"Wood does not bend well under tension," Dillion said. "It breaks."
The floor of the North Main Street building donated by Dick Seltzer had black and white checkered flooring like that of a high-end workshop.
Donuts and soda were available as refreshments to keep the crew going that had arrived at 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
"That was the first spark of enthusiasm when the donuts came out last week," Tom Force said. Last weekend, the group had worked until about 5 p.m., but the first hours of construction were busy.
Force said it is part of the project"s psychology for the project to resemble a boat by noon on day one.
"The enthusiasm slowly became contagious and that will see the project through easy," Force said. "This is the first time we have actually built one from scratch with kids."
"Just cut those in half and we can put some sandpaper on them," Brian Cahill said. Cahill, unit commissioner of the Boy Scouts, was waiting for batteries to charge so he could halve a block of wood to make sanding blocks.
Presiding over the work Saturday were assistant scout masters Antonio Rodriguez and Larry Thompson in addition to Dillion, Cahill and Force.
Force said that the scouts here have a motto of "scouting is outing," and they take trips to places like Point Reyes and Mt. Lassen, for example. "This boat will join them," said Force.
The boat coming to life Saturday was a first for the scouts of Troop 75, but it is one of many built from similar kits. Developed in part at the University of Pennsylvania, about 2,000 have been built.
"The boat can be made to row, sail or power," Dillion said.
It is likely Lake Mendocino, if there is anything left of it, will be the first water that the scout"s boat will see.

There's really no time like now to wed in one of Spain's best hidden, most incredible cities - with Spanish Wedding Planner to guide you along the way!
If you were asked to name a Spanish city which offers culture, beauty, great food and beaches then Barcelona would probably be the first city you named. Nowadays however there is a new contender for Barcelona's cultural crown and culinary prowess - Valencia.
Famed throughout Spain for its paella, the passion for their local dish has led Valencianos to insist on locally sourced, good quality produce. Valencian cuisine is now renowned for the freshness of the products which go into its dishes and the creative menus served by restaurants and venues. Given this and Valencia's location - on the Mediterranean for fish and seafood, and surrounded by "La Huerta" some of the most fertile farmland in Spain - it is no surprise Valencian food is taken so seriously by the city's inhabitants and restaurants! For foodies this makes Valencia an incredible place not only go visit but to wed as menus are imaginative and there is a real desire to showcase the quality of the produce and skills of the chef.
Alongside Valencia's love of good food runs a love of live music, with the largest number of music bands on any one city in Spain! Twined with Valencia's many unique fiestas Valencia's live music, it is one of the reasons that culturally, as well as in cuisine, Valencia more than holds its own. In fact the city has recently become a phenomenon on the European tourist market precisely because it has successfully modernised and reinvented itself to become a hub of cosmopolitan culture and yet also managed to retain its traditional culture.
In practical terms this means Valencia's historic centre still retains its old world charm but running alongside this is Valencia's futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, the Bioparc, a lively new cultural scene and of course the city's beaches! If that wasn't enough, access is now even easier as British Airways and Easyjet both fly direct to Valencia from Gatwick, and Ryanair flies from Stansted and Dublin.
The icing on the (wedding!) cake for couples planning a wedding - in addition to all the benefits of Valencia itself - is that from July 2016 Spanish Wedding Planner are opening a new office in this beautiful city. Valencian planners Kate and Vanessa combine their own knowledge of the city and it's people with Spanish Wedding Planner's decade long experience of planning and coordinating weddings for couples from around the world.
So, if you are looking for an incredible cosmopolitan city where you and your guests can soak up old world Spain, relax on the beach, explore cutting edge architecture or just try paella in the city of its birth, Valencia really does fit the bill!


As great as it feels to hear a new song, I think we've got way more than enough before the release.
6/14 songs... Considering that one of them is just the intro to another, it is almost half!
Didn´t we get 5 ?
Actually, you got 4 from us. Shinigami was recorded off the radio.
Hm, if we count the radio edit of Rocket Dragon, we've got 6! This one is on my playlist along with the others, so it misled me.
Still it doesn't make 6 out of 14 songs from the album.
BUT it's actually from you (the band), Robert.
Hey, don't be bringing your cheatcode swag or radio-rip dlc into this. Epic uber fanolicious packumongus has nothing to do with the album.
But we'll have the whole load of awesomness in 6 days! The more songs we haven't listened to by now, the more new ones we will hear then.
Ok, sorry mister overworld overlord. 4 songs. 4 songs only.
A bit off-topic: will the album be in a jewel case again?

SAFE Helpline: 1-877-995-5247
Definition and Assistance
The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) is responsible for oversight of the Department's sexual assault policy. SAPRO works hand-in-hand with the Services and the civilian community to develop and implement innovative prevention and response programs.
There are two avenues for reporting sexual assault in the form of Restricted and Unrestricted Reporting.
Restricted Reporting allows a victim to report a Sexual Assault without triggering an investigation. It is intended to give the victim (survivor) time and control over the release of their information. Further, it also empowers the survivor to make an informed decision about participating in the criminal process.
Restricted Reporting is available to active duty military, Coast Guard, Reservist performing federal training and members of the National Guard under Title 10 status.
Unrestricted Reporting is any report of sexual assault made through normal reporting channels (for example: reports to chain of command, security forces, and/or Air Force Office of Investigation).

So I ran the following commands outside of the chroot before entering it again.
Then I chrooted to /mnt again and ran my grub-install command and all was well. The machine booted perfectly after that.

Valued Opinions reveals Britain as a nation of milk chocolate lovers
From: Valued Opinions
Published: Fri Jan 21 2011
Valued Opinions has revealed that the UK has the second highest consumption of chocolate per person in the whole of Europe, and that the confectionary market is worth a staggering �4 billion.
A recent Valued Opinions online poll has found out the favorite type of chocolate: two thirds of Brits (66%) like milk chocolate the best whilst 22% prefer dark chocolate and 12% would choose white chocolate. Just 1% of all respondents of the online opinion poll didn't like chocolate at all, reflecting the fact that for most of the people in Britain, chocolate is a luxury they can't live without.
Although chocolate has traditionally been regarded as a naughty-but-nice treat, recent scientific research into its chemical properties has revealed that it has important health benefits. Raw cacao has the highest antioxidant value of any natural food. Among other things, it also improves heart function, helps to reduce cholesterol and high-blood pressure and has a wealth of stress-busting, feel-good and anti-depressant chemicals.
Evidence has suggested that consuming small quantities of high-quality dark chocolate (which, according to Valued Opinions, around a fifth of Brits consider their favorite) has some measurable health benefits including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol and increasing insulin sensitivity.
However, consumers won't get a chocolate-induced bill of health from the cheaper chocolate bars that stack the UK shelves. The majority of milk and white chocolate is made from cocoa beans that have been roasted, treated with alkalis or other chemicals. These processes strip the beans of virtually any valuable nutrition. The chocolate is then bulked out with additives such as hydrogenated oils, animal fats, refined sugar, dairy products and chemical preservatives; all of which make it a less than healthy option.
Milk chocolate typically contains around 20% milk fat which aside from being calorie laden also inhibits the body's absorption of cocoa's antioxidants. White chocolate, which many consider not to be proper chocolate because it contains no cocoa solids, doesn't fare any better; a recent Cornell University study found that it yielded no measurable health benefits at all.
This is bad news for milk chocolate-loving Brits. Most chocolate produced for the UK market is milkier and contains less cocoa than chocolate in the rest of Europe. In 2003, the Food Standards Authority was pleased when the EU regulations allowed British chocolate to have 20% (rather than the former 25%) cocoa solids in order to be classified as real chocolate.
It might not be good quality and it's certainly not healthy, but market research shows that Britons like cheap, sweet, milky chocolate and the FSA argues that they should be allowed to continue making and eating it.

How easy is it to find the right credit card online? While comparison tools and customer reviews simplify the selection process in many respects, marketing obfuscation and inconsistency on the part of issuers makes it difficult for consumers to accurately discern each offer's net value proposition, and thus which card will best suit their needs.
Rewards: Do the issuer's product pages clearly define — without reading the fine print — how to earn rewards and how much they are worth (e.g. Are 50,000 miles worth a trip to Chicago or Greece)?
Annual Fee: Is the annual fee clearly displayed, beyond pricing disclosures or fine print?
Costs of Financing New Purchases: Are the introductory and regular APRs for new purchases clear to the consumer without having to reference pricing disclosures, fine print, or a separate page?
Balance Transfer Costs: Are all relevant balance transfer terms – introductory and regular APRs and balance transfer fee – clear without referring to pricing disclosures, fine print, or a different page?

Most B2B companies are pursuing Inbound Marketing and finding that it's not bringing in the leads that they had hoped. It's not that inbound marketing is broken. It's because they're not executing it in a cohesive way. What we are seeing far too often out there is that B2B marketers don't really have an underlying strategy. They are conducting their digital marketing in a more incremental, non-holistic way. This is very inefficient because it creates a lot of redundancies in the effort that is involved to setup each strategy and it also makes things harder to manage and measure on an ongoing basis. The key to success is having a way to get everything working together to support a central strategy.
Do you have a documented strategy that guides all of your digital marketing efforts?
Are you tracking Key Performance Indicators for all channels and campaigns?
Is your team clear about what the goals are and are they being held accountable for executing the strategy that supports those goals??
Is your boss aligned with your goals and are you able to provide regular status updates about the Key Performance Indicators?
Have you stuck with a strategy long enough to realistically measure its effectiveness?

President Trump is worth $3.1 billion. Image source: Visual China.
J.B. J.B. Pritzker is the heir to the Hyatt Regency, and he is the governor of Illinois for $171.5 million. The amount of investment has reached a record. Just over an hour after the polling station was closed, Pritzker found that the money was worth it. According to several news organizations, as of 09:25 in the evening of East Coast, Pritzker is estimated to beat the current governor, Republican Bruce Rauner, with a big advantage.
Pritzker is estimated to be worth $3.2 billion, and President Trump is worth $3.1 billion. Therefore, when Pritzker took office, he replaced Trump and became the richest man in the United States.
Illinois Pritzker's wealth comes from the Hyatt Hotel - the hotel was founded in 1957 by his uncle Jay, managed by his father, Donald. Pritzker is not a father. In 1993, he graduated from Northwestern University Law School. Three years later, he and his brother Anthony set up their own private equity fund Pritzker Group. The company holds shares in industrial companies, manages them, and holds shares in the SpaceX Rocket Company of Elon Musk. Pritzker has left the company.
The capital investment in this election has broken records, and the funds raised by federal candidates are estimated to be $5.2 billion.
Pritzker is even more conspicuous – he broke the record for his self-sufficient pocket. Forbes estimates. He invested $171.5 million in his elections, setting a record in American history, and the actual cost of the election was $135.9 million. Launer was an early partner in a private equity firm in Chicago, investing $57.8 million in re-election in 2015 and 2016. The total cost of the two in this election cycle is close to $230 million.
In 2014, Meg Whitman spent $144 million on the governor of California. Although he eventually lost, he made a record of self-sufficiency. Florida Governor Rick Scott is running for the US Senate, but the results are too close and undecided. In 2010, Scott spent about $60 million on campaigning for the governor.
Pritzker took out his own money and the governor, not only himself, Governor Launer He invested heavily and was funded by Chicago billionaire Ken Griffin. The hedge fund's billionaire spent $22.5 million in 2017 to help Launer re-elect.
The National Institute on Money In Politics shows that in this round of elections, his funding is the largest in all state-level campaign funding (not including the candidate's own funds). . In 2014 he funded Launer's $13.6 million and maintained the same record.
According to the Federal Election Commission, in addition to investing in his own election, Pritzker also donated $661,000 to the Federal Democratic Party and the Super Political Action Committee in 2018. Before seeking the governor of his home state, Pritzker also invested heavily in the work of the Democratic Party. In 2016, he spent $14 million to support Democrats, including former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.
In May 2016, Pritzker said in an interview with CNN Money: "I believe that (Hillary Clinton) knows how to create jobs in the US than any candidate - and that campaign The real estate developer understands this issue.
However, Pritzker's brother Anthony was sitting next to him and the two had a debate. In 2016, Anthony's political donation was about $1 million, and most donated The Republican Party and the Liberal Party. In 2018, he donated another $220,000, mainly to Republicans.

India Pursues Ambitious Solar Goals Despite Pandemic's Impact
India has one of the world's most aggressive solar development targets. The country's leaders have said they want to install 450 GW of renewable power generation capacity by 2030, a figure that would amount to about 55% of the total electricity capacity the country has estimated it will need by the end of the decade.
Government data showed India had just more than 94 GW of renewable generation capacity installed as of the end of March 2021, about 25% of the country's total capacity. A recent report from Mercom India, part of Mercom Capital Group, said that at the end of March 2021 cumulative solar installations accounted for 41 GW of generation capacity, with 35.5 GW from large-scale projects, and the rest from rooftop solar. The group said India's large-scale solar project development pipeline stands at 53.6 GW, and there also were 24.1 GW of projects tendered and pending auction at the end of the first quarter this year. The group said solar installations accounted for 33% of all power capacity added in the first three months of this year, and said renewables as a whole, including wind and hydro, made up close to 50% of capacity additions in the quarter.

Investors have taken notice. Adani Green Energy, part of the Adani Group that is India's largest developer of solar power—and also among the biggest in the world—in May announced it was buying SB Energy India from Japan's SoftBank Group and India's Bharti Group in a $3.5 billion deal. Adani said the purchase is India's largest transaction of renewable energy to date. SB Energy India has about 5 GW of renewable energy assets in India, with most of that solar power (Figure 1). Adani has its own suitors; earlier this year, France's Total SE said it would buy a 20% stake in Adani Green Energy for $2.5 billion.
Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Group, in a statement said, "This acquisition is another step towards the vision we stated in January 2020, wherein we laid out our plans to become the world's largest solar player by 2025 and thereafter the world's largest renewable company by 2030. India, without any doubt, has been one of the few nations that has accelerated its global commitment towards climate change and we intend to do our part to execute on the promises made. The renewable energy platform that we are building will lay the foundation for attracting several other global industries that are increasingly looking to reduce their carbon footprint [as well as lay the foundation for opening up adjacent platforms that include hydrogen and storage]. We are well on our way to achieve our stated solar portfolio targets four years before the deadline we set for ourselves. The quality of assets that SoftBank and the Bharti Group have built are excellent and I compliment their efforts to support India's renewable energy transition. We are proud to take their legacy forward."
Vikram Solar, one of the country's leading module manufacturers, along with providing engineering and construction services for both utility-scale and residential installations, in May said it had completed an 85-MW solar plant project commissioned for National Thermal Power Corp. Ltd. (NTPC) at Bilhaur, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The new installation, when combined with a recently commissioned 140-MW project for NTPC at the same location, is now the largest solar farm in a single location in Uttar Pradesh.
"It was an honor for us to partner with NTPC for this prestigious project," said Saibaba Vutukuri, CEO of Vikram Solar. "This project presented the opportunity to increase our contribution to India's solar mission and we are proud to be chosen by NTPC to make such an effort. NTPC is one of our oldest clients and we have been partnering in several of their solar projects. We are proud to say that we have a portfolio of commissioned and under-construction projects totaling ~708 MW with NTPC, as it identifies our commitment and focuses on customer-centricity. We are hopeful of a continued journey with NTPC towards realizing the company's green energy goals."
The country's rural areas also are getting new opportunities to use solar power. Pramod Sawant, the chief minister of Goa, has inaugurated a solar photovoltaic-based electrification program to deliver power to residents of the rural areas of the state. The initiative is led by Convergence Energy Services Ltd. (CESL) and Goa Energy Development Agency (GEDA). CESL is a subsidiary of the state-owned Energy Efficiency Services Limited.
The project aims to electrify remote areas in the smallest state of the country through renewable energy where grid connectivity is not feasible. This project is CESL's first off-grid electricity program; the group will install and maintain solar PV systems for five years under the state government's Remote Village Electrification program.
Said Sawant: "We will achieve 100% electrification for all homes in Goa, that too with clean energy. We have made policy decisions for Goa to transition to a green state in a fast and concerted way. I congratulate GEDA and CESL for their good work."
Mercom India in its recent report said the country added 2.05 GW of solar power capacity in the first three months of this year, and said solar accounted for about 10.7% of the country's total installed power generation capacity as of the end of March. The group in its "Q1 2021 India Solar Market Update," published in late May, reported that solar installations were up 88% year-over-year, compared to the 1,090 MW added in the first quarter of 2020. The group said the addition of solar generation capacity in the January-March 2021 period was the highest in a quarter since the third quarter of 2019. Mercom reported that large-scale solar projects represented 1,749 MW of installed capacity in Q1, with rooftop installations accounting for 307 MW. The group in its report said much of the increase in first-quarter projects came as developers completed their delayed installations from last year. Commercial and industrial electricity customers also were installing rooftop solar, "taking advantage of cost savings during challenging market conditions," the report said.
There may be a bump in the road, though, due to COVID-19. Bridge to India, a renewable energy consultancy, in its recent "India Solar Compass Q1 2021" report, said it expects the country will add 1.35 GW of utility-scale solar in the April-June period, down 43% from its initial estimate for 2.35 GW. The group said installations will likely recover in Q3, with capacity additions expected to reach 2.47 GW.
"With the second wave of the pandemic hitting the country, the industry is battling solar component price increases and volatility. Even more concerning is the uncertainty in procurement as shortages are widespread. Policy restrictions and duties have added to the rising costs and unpredictability," said Raj Prabhu, CEO of Mercom Capital Group. Mercom expects India will add about 7 GW of new solar power capacity this year, what it called a "medium case" scenario as project timelines continue to be extended due to the pandemic.
The report said the second wave of COVID-19, and its variants, which brought lockdowns to many regions of the country beginning in late April, will again bring construction delays due to labor issues and disruptions to equipment supply chains. Mercom's researchers in a news release noted, "The average selling prices of solar modules have risen sharply along with other components, including iron, copper, aluminum, and steel. Freight charges are high all over the world, and the dearth of shipping containers is widespread. The shortage and availability of solar glass and backsheets continue to be a challenge."
Said Prabhu: "Due to the targeted lockdowns, this time around, disruptions and labor issues are not as widespread as last year. However, most of the lockdowns are in important solar states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh which will significantly impact installation totals this year." Mercom said that Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh were the top states for solar installations in the first quarter of 2021.
Mercom noted that the surge in demand for rooftop solar came primarily from industries looking to reduce operating expenses as the pandemic brought financial challenges. Prabhu, though, said supply chain disruptions—along with higher prices for solar modules—continue to impact the pace of construction. "The solar industry is grappling with how to move forward amid so much uncertainty," Prabhu said. "Bidding for auctions in the future will be extremely challenging, and developers must give themselves a lot of room to factor in the risks and price volatility. This is the first time we have seen module prices rise four quarters in a row since the last 5-6 years. Bidding low in anticipation that module prices will perpetually fall is an extremely risky strategy in today's market."

Q: What is required to run a c# console application on a computer I have created a simple c# console application with .net framework 2.0 that uses MySql. What steps should I do in order to get the program run on another computer(Windows Server 2008)?
I already have MS .Net framework Clent Profile and MS .Net framework Clent Profile Extended installed.
Should I install .net framework 2.0 Service pack too on the other pc?
Thanks.

A: You just need .Net Framework 2.0 or later to be installed on the machine.
It would would be better to make an installer.

A: Make sure you have .Net framework 2.0 installed on the computer. Also make sure you have the .Net dlls required for making connection. If your application is going to use the local machine as MySQL server then, you may have to intall MySQL on the client machine as well,  or you can make an installer with MySQL installation included. You can use InnoSetup or you may check out the following thread Deploy MySQL Server + DB with .Net application

A: Environment - .Net Framework.
Version - Same as one or higher in which you app is targeted.
Why i said no particular version number because what if you app is in 4.0 and you have 2.0 installed?
That's why same version or higher.

Many facets of real estate brokerage have been examined in studies appearing in the literature over the last several years. This review attempts to organize the research around six questions concerning the brokerage industry: (1) What is the nature of the market for brokerage services and how does it influence the individual firm; (2) What factors determine broker and agent compensation; (3) How does brokerage participation influence time on the market and price; (4) Is the brokerage market efficient and equitable; (5) Must brokerage firms assume greater liability; and (6) How do brokerage markets vary internationally. In examining each question, the review points out the major focus of the research and summarizes important findings. Its purpose is to identify key issues facing the brokerage industry and suggest avenues for future study.
