Hong Kong restrictions smother massacre anniversary
Government is accused of having a political agenda in extending Covid-19 restrictions ahead of a vigil

The Hong Kong government has extended Covid-19 restrictions on gatherings, casting doubts over the annual candlelight vigil that marks China's crackdown on pro-democracy protesters three decades ago in Tiananmen Square.
Hundreds of thousands gather every June 4 in Hong Kong's historic Victoria Park with lighted candles to remember the hundreds killed in the 1989 communist crackdown on the student-led pro-democracy march in Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
The Beijing-controlled Hong Kong government on May 19 extended restrictions for another two weeks, at least until June 4, making it hard to organize this year's vigil.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam said there were no political considerations in extending the restriction order. Public health was the primary concern as the city-state continues to report new, confirmed infections but their source has not been identified, she said.
However, she said it was unrealistic to relax restrictions unless no new cases are reported for 28 consecutive days.
With restrictions in place, the main organizers of the vigil, Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (HKASDM), said it doubted if the gathering of thousands of people could be organized on June 4.
Alliance chairman Lee Cheuk-yan said he had repeatedly requested the Hong Kong government's leisure and cultural services department to discuss the June 4 vigil with police to get necessary permissions.
The department has not processed the application citing "a lack of guidelines" and the police had not discussed the mandatory "no objection certificate" to organize the vigil, Lee told UCA news.
He doubted the government's claim that the decision has no political considerations. Schools and religious gatherings have gradually resumed, approved by the administration. He accused the government of suppressing people's freedom to assemble on the pretext of the epidemic.
Lee said the vigil, which started in 1990, has continued without a break "condemning the Chinese communist massacre. It shows to some extent that 'one country, two systems' still exists, and people in Hong Kong still have freedom."

HKASDM plans to enter Victoria Park on June 4 night to light candles, Lee said.
He said he would urge people in Hong Kong "to light candles anywhere, even in the streets. The authorities can ban our gathering but not the feeling of our hearts."
Chan Lok-shun, a project officer of the Justice and Peace Commission of Hong Kong, told UCA News that the government could not justify its extension of restrictions in the name of infections.
"Schools have resumed and restrictions on religious gatherings are relaxed. People gather in all these places. How can the government say its restriction on gathering is not politically motivated?" he asked.
He said the government move shows the shrinking space for democratic expression in Hong Kong. "The government is controlling freedom of speech and assembly," she said. "The question is not about stifling the June 4 candlelight vigil. The bigger question is about people's freedom and civil liberties."
The Unionf of Hong Kong Catholic Organizations in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China conducts a Mass and prayers marking June 4 anniversary. Its officials said this year they would webcast the Mass.
They also plan to all parishioners to light candles and recite the usual June 4 prayer for the Tiananmen victims in front of the statue of Our Lady in their parishes on the evening of June 4.

The New Zealand Threat Classification System is used by the Department of Conservation to assess conservation priorities of species in New Zealand.

The system was developed because the IUCN Red List, a similar conservation status system, had some shortcomings for the unique requirements of conservation ranking in New Zealand.   plants, animals, and fungi are evaluated, though the lattermost has yet to be published.  Algae were assessed in 2005 but not reassessed since.  Other protists have not been evaluated.

Categories
Species that are ranked are assigned categories:

Threatened
This category has three major divisions:
Nationally Critical - equivalent to the IUCN category of Critically endangered
Nationally Endangered - equivalent to the IUCN category of Endangered
Nationally Vulnerable - equivalent to the IUCN category of Vulnerable

At Risk
This has four categories:
Declining
Recovering
Relict
Naturally Uncommon

Other categories
Introduced and Naturalised
These are any species that are deliberately or accidentally introduced into New Zealand.

Migrant
Migrant species are those that visit New Zealand as part of their life cycle.

Vagrant
Vagrants are taxa that are rare in New Zealand that have made their own way and do not breed successfully.

Coloniser
These taxa have arrived in New Zealand without human help and reproduce successfully.

Data Deficient
This category lists taxa for which insufficient information is available to make as assessment on conservation status.

Extinct
Taxa for which there is no reasonable doubt that no individuals exist are ranked as extinct.  For these lists only species that have become extinct since 1840 are listed.

Not Threatened
If taxa fit into none of the other categories they are listed in the Not Threatened category.

Qualifiers
A series of qualifiers are used to give additional information on the threat classification:

Q: cv2.destroyWindow() does not work as expected I just started to learn OpenCV with Python for Raspberry Pi 3.
I wrote a simple code for namedWindow(). The problem is destroyWindow() does not work as I expect. The "TEST" window is still there. What is wrong with the following code?
import cv2
import sys

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cv2.namedWindow("TEST")
    while True:
        key = cv2.waitKey(5)
        if key == 27:
            print "ESC pressed..."
            cv2.destroyWindow("TEST")
            break
    sys.exit()

A: Here's what usually works for me as far as the waitKey goes:
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == 27:
    break
cv2.destroyWindow("TEST")

Which is a bitwise and with the waitkey input and 11111111 which should equal the UTF-8 value for the key. I tested this on This Loop. Hope this helps.

Codimension-1 partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with a uniformly compact center foliation

We consider a partially hyperbolic $C^1$-diffeomorphism $f\colon M \rightarrow M$ with a uniformly compact $f$-invariant center foliation $\mathcal{F}^c$. We show that if the unstable bundle is one-dimensional and oriented, then the holonomy of the center foliation vanishes everywhere, the quotient space $M/\mathcal{F}^c$ of the center foliation is a torus and $f$ induces a hyperbolic automorphism on it, in particular, $f$ is centrally transitive.
We actually obtain further interesting results without restrictions on the unstable, stable and center dimension: we prove a kind of spectral decomposition for the chain recurrent set of the quotient dynamics, and we establish the existence of a holonomy-invariant family of measures on the unstable leaves (Margulis measure).
Keywords: uniformly compact foliation, Partial hyperbolicity, transitivity, Margulis measure., center foliation.

was a Japanese industrialist and shipbuilder. He was the founder of Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

Biography
Born in Kagoshima to a kimono merchant, Kawasaki Shōzō became a tradesman at the age of 17 in Nagasaki, the only place in Japan then open to the West. He started a shipping business in Osaka at 27, which failed when his cargo ship sank during a storm. In 1869, he joined a company handling sugar from the Ryukyu Islands, established by a Kagoshima samurai, and in 1893, researched Ryukyu sugar and sea routes to the Ryukyus at the request of the Ministry of Finance. In 1894, he was appointed executive vice president of Japan Mail Steam-Powered Shipping Company,  and succeeded in opening a sea route to the Ryukyu and transporting sugar to mainland Japan.

Having experienced many sea accidents in his life, Kawasaki deepened his trust in Western ships because they were more spacious, stable and faster than typical Japanese ships. At the same time, he became very interested in the modern shipbuilding industry. In April 1876, supported by Matsukata Masayoshi, the Vice Minister of Finance, who was from the same province as Kawasaki, he established Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard on borrowed land from the government alongside the Sumida-gawa River, Tsukiji Minami-Iizaka-chō (currently Tsukiji 7-chome, Chūō, Tokyo, a major step forward as a shipbuilder.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. traces its origins to 1878, when Kawasaki Shōzō (川崎 正蔵) established Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard in Tokyo, Japan. Eighteen years later, in 1896, it was incorporated as Kawasaki Dockyard Co., Ltd.

'The Vampire Diaries' May Get ANOTHER Spin-Off
The Originals isn't the only show on Julie Plec's mind.
By Alaina Leary
The Vampire Diaries -- "We're Planning a June Wedding" -- Image Number: VD815c_0233.jpg -- Pictured: Candice King as Caroline -- Photo: Bob Mahoney/The CW -- é 2017 The CW Network, LLC. All Rights Reserved.Photo: Courtesy of the CW/Bob Mahoney
In The Vampire Diaries' series finale, which aired on Friday night, we hear several main characters tell us what happens to them after those fateful 45 minutes. One of those epilogues belongs to Caroline (played by Candice King), who in the finale says a final goodbye to her vampire-turned-human husband Stefan (played by Paul Wesley), and has decided to open a supernatural boarding school with Alaric (played by Matthew Davis), the father of her twin girls.
As Caroline is opening a check from a generous donor to support the school, we see a note from original vampire Klaus (played by former Vampire Diaries cast member Joseph Morgan, who plays the current protagonist on The Originals) that ends with, "However long it takes." It's a callback to the romantic speech Klaus gives Caroline in season 4 about how he intends to be her last love. In a voiceover, Alaric says, "But that's the beginning of another story," implying that there might still be a chance for #Klaroline shippers to get what they want.
Instantly, fans were psyched. Was this a sign that Caroline might join the cast of The Originals, now that her character is one of the only vampires left in Mystic Falls? This plotline opened up the possibility for Caroline making an appearance on the spin-off show, or even joining as a permanent cast member—now or in the future.
Yet now co-creators Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson are now hinting that The Originals may not be the last spin-off set in the supernatural world from TVD.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Plec said, "I can't make any promises for many reasons: One, because we don't have a fifth season of The Originals. Two, because while I love the world of the boarding school and all that it represents, that would be an entirely new show that I haven't even begun to think about, but the doors were not left open unintentionally. They're open with a hope, not a promise."
We'll take hope, if it means there's a possibility for Caroline and Klaus to reunite someday. They had such a powerful connection throughout TVD's run, from Klaus's interest in her when he was still a villain in season 3 to their climactic goodbye at the end of season 4 when he leaves. Since then, the shows have featured several crossovers with Caroline visiting The Originals, and Klaus making appearances in Mystic Falls. And we could totally see the two of them finding each other after Caroline's remaining human friends and family pass on and find peace, since she's now basically the only vampire left. It's also possible that they might reconnect even sooner, especially if they meet on a spin-off about Caroline's newly opened Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted, as Plec's idea suggests they could. No matter how this plotline may play out, Klaroline shippers will be waiting. However long it takes.

1. Ask Allah to enable you to reach Ramadan and to get the most out of it as the Salaf (early generation of pious people) used to do.
3. Read the whole Qurâan at least once as the Prophet peace be upon him did.
4. Have Suhoor as the Prophet peace be upon him said, Have Suhoor because it is blessed.
5. Make Duâa during the fast because the Prophet peace be upon him said that three people supplication is not rejected one of them is the fasting person. Ask for the good of this life and the next for yourself, your family and Muslims in general.
6. Make Dua before opening the fast. The Prophet peace be upon him said, The fasting person has a supplication that is answered when he opens his fast.
7. Give Sadaqah and be good to people. The Prophet peace be upon him was the most generous of people and he was most generous in Ramadan.
9. Do not eat too much after Iftar.
10. Ask for forgiveness since this is the month Allah frees people from the fire.
11. Pray At-Tarawih with Khushoo. If you pray in the Masjid complete the Salah with the Imam. If you pray at home prolong the Salah as long as you can. The Prophet peace be upon him said, Whoever prays during Ramadan with Iman and seeking reward (from Allah) his past sins will be forgiven.
12. Feed the poor and invite others for Iftar. The Prophet peace be upon him said, Whoever gives Iftar to someone fasting he will have the same reward without decreasing the reward of the person fasting.
13. Try harder the last ten nights especially the odd nights. The prophet would strive in Ramadan more than he would in any other month and more so in the last ten days.
14. Say this Dua in the nights that Laitul-Qadr is likely to fall on: Allhumma innaka afuwun tuhibbul-afwa faâfu anni (O Allah you are Forgiving and love forgiveness so forgive me).
15. Ask Allah to accept all your good actions during this month.
16. Plan your time for Reciting Quran, Hadith & Doing Dhikr.

'Ad Vitam' Season 1 Coming to Netflix in August 2019
Published on July 20th, 2019, 4:33 pm EST
Ad Vitam – Picture: Netflix
The new sci-fi TV series Ad Vitam is coming to Netflix in August 2019. Here's everything we know including the exclusive reveal of the release date, who's going to be starring, what it's about and what it's similar to.
Netflix has a suite of great sci-fi series with the biggest one that comes to mind is Altered Carbon. France earlier this year, outputted another sci-fi title that was well received by the name of Osmosis (yet to get a second season).
The show is set in a future where death has been cured and life on Earth has been improved dramatically. Despite this, a number of kids have committed suicide in recent months and a cop and a young woman sets out to find exactly what's happening.
Here's some more details that you need to know
No confirmation as to whether there'll be an English dub. At the moment, you can expect French language and English subtitles.
The series was directed by Thomas Cailey and Manuel Schapira
The series is written by Thomas Cailley and Sébastien Mounier
Season 1 is comprised of six episodes running at an hour each
Who stars in Ad Vitam season 1?
The show has an expansive cast although audiences outside of France are unlikely to have heard of most of them.
Here's a full rundown of the main cast who feature in all six episodes.
Yvan Attal as Darius Asram
Garance Marillier as Christa Novak dit Nora
Niels Schneider as Virgil Berti dit Caron
Victor Assié as Théo Lesky
Rod Paradot as Léonard Ader dit Linus
Anne Azoulay as Béat
Adel Bencherif as Elias Azuelo
Vassili Schneider as Virgil Berti Jeune
Julie Moulier as Leyla Perrik
Ariane Labed as Odessa
Ad Vitam season 1 will be on Netflix on August 2nd
If you've been a fan of this show since it was first revealed and release in France last year, the wait for it to come to Netflix has been a long one. Some reported it was lined up for July 2019 but that was once again pushed back. Now, season 1 of Ad Vitam is scheduled for release on Netflix on August 2nd, 2019.
This is a global release date meaning essentially everyone outside of France will get the first season on August 2nd.
The release date for Ad Vitam
It'll be added at its standard time on Netflix which is at 12 AM PST, 3 AM EST and 8 AM GMT.
Will there be a season 2 of Ad Vitam?
Currently, there's no second season planned and according to reports, we're not expecting one either.
Speaking to the site, the creator of the show said the following: "Ad Vitam is a curly series, which ends radically" adding that he's likely now headed back to his roots at the cinema.
That tells us that this is likely intended to be a limited series but we'll cover this in more depth once we get to see the extent of the full series.
What are the reviews for the show?
Mixed from critics but audiences in France generally enjoyed it. One outlet in France called it a misfire while others thoroughly enjoyed it.
As we've found with most sci-fi movies and TV series to find their way onto Netflix, it comes down to personal preference.

A Peter Shaw Mystery by Jim Kelly
Review: The deaths of a brother and sister, twins, eighteen years apart may be related in Death Watch, the second investigation of Detective Inspector Peter Shaw and his partner Detective Sergeant George Valentine by Jim Kelly.
Actually Norma Jean's death is more accurately considered presumed, as she disappeared from her home when she was 15 and was never seen again. Her brother Bryan could no longer "feel her presence in his body" and knew she was dead. Now, eighteen years to the day after Norma Jean vanished, Bryan's burned body is found in the hospital incinerator where he worked. DI Shaw and DS Valentine are assigned to investigate. There's no obvious link between Bryan's murder and Norma Jean's disappearance. In fact, Shaw is initially unaware of the connection and pursues his most promising lead: a kidney is found under Bryan's charred body, which was either in his possession when he died or was placed there to incriminate him. The origin of the kidney cannot be determined but lead the two detectives into the shady world of organ trafficking, where the homeless are paid to "donate" their organs for placement with wealthy patients. To refuse to contribute can be a certain death sentence. But the cold case involving Norma Jean won't go away: Shaw learns that his late father, DCI Jack Shaw, was the lead officer on the investigation and his partner at the time was none other than his current partner, DS Valentine.
Death Watch is an intricately plotted police procedural full of twists and turns. Somewhat surprisingly, given how much is going on at any point in time, the storyline is fairly easy to follow and moves along briskly. The unexpected interpersonal revelations between the various characters, most especially those of Shaw and his father, add depth and intrigue to the story. Though the story here is not dependent on the previous book in the series, readers may want to start there to get a more complete picture of this remarkable pair of detectives.

Q: GL(V) is a group of invertible linear transformations and GL(V) contains of bijective and linear f? In my textbook it says that
$GL=\{f: V \rightarrow V |\text{f is bijective and linear}\}$
But later in a result of a exercise it says that:
"A representation is a group homomorphism $\varphi : G \rightarrow GL(V)$, where $GL(V)$ is the group of invertible linear transformations $T: V \rightarrow V$.
Can someone please explain me the "connect" between GL(V) is a group of invertible linear transformations and GL(V) contains of bijective and linear f?

A: Let $V$ be a vector space on some field $\mathbb{K}$.
$\mathcal{L}(V)$, the set of endomorphisms of $V$, is a ring for the $+$ and $\circ$ laws, with identity $\textrm{id}_V$. So we can talk about the invertible elements of $\mathcal{L}(V)$: they are the linear transformations $u$ such that there exists some linear transformation $v$ such that $v \circ u = u \circ v = \textrm{id}_V$.
This definition enables us to say that the invertible elements of $\mathcal{L}(V)$ are the bijective linear applications from $V$ to $V$. Indeed, a basic theorem gives us that a bijective linear applications $u$ from $V$ to $V$ has its inverse that is also linear, so such an application $u$ is an invertible element of $\mathcal{L}(V)$. The reciprocal is obvious: an invertible element of $\mathcal{L}(V)$ is linear and bijective.

I do not agree on the Gnome example, but let's leave it at that.
Nice idea. It is a cool way of being constructive and it would solve a few issues. Thanks.
Well, I don't see what is the problem with alternatives. We support exim and postfix, for example. There're a lot of options and this is just that, IMHO. I assume that developers accross distros know what they're doing. I don't see anybody pushing anybody to adopt SystemD. I think you're assuming otherwise and I'd like to see some proof of that, if you have any. I agree that the maintainers have a hard time and that they're overworked. I appreciate everything they do. On the other hand, it's their choice and they're up to the task. In fact, It might even prove to be simpler to maintain stuff instead of going overboard not supporting it and making everything still work; which is the case of Gnome, at least. I don't agree with you speaking for everybody. Please, speak in your name only and let "everybody" speak for their own. It is not about what Red hat offers... it has never been about that. I don't think Funtoo keeps a tab on this.
So, is this how we discuss technology?... Please, keep your opinions technical, if possible. No, I haven't read the code for SystemD. While at it; confessing, I haven't read the code to the Kernel nor Python; and I use them. That doesn't mean I don't trust the software. There are hoards of people working on it, openly, and that makes me trust the code. Same goes for SystemD. Besides, I've used it and, in my experience, it has worked pretty well. Not only for init things, but for containers and resource management; as well as logs and stuff. I do not work for Red hat. I have maintained a few packages on Fedora, though, for quite a while. It is OK to consider any piece of software "pollution"; but it's not OK to prevent users from using it. I mean, we have java in the repos... What OpenRC lacks for me is the resource management part with cgroups. Also, the logging system in SystemD is really cool to have. Besides that, I like containing web apps using SystemD units; for example, a ruby app or stuff like that. Those are some of the things I'd like to have that OpenRC doesn't provide, AFAIK.
Well, in my case, I have nothing against Red Hat. As you say, they invest in maintaining a lot of FOSS. Fedora is the lead, which the upstream for their RHEL. While I collaborated more actively there, we were always pointed upstream. The author of the FOSS is the one we should support and help in every way possible. That philosophy is what brought me to them. Fedora, as the upstream, is an awesome project. Very collaborative and with a great community. Red Hat, mainly, takes care of the resources it needs to function. Besides, they've open sourced a lot of cool software; following their own FOSS commitment principles.
Man, you are too defensive. You keep saying you're not dumb and all but I haven't found the part where they call you dumb. As I see it, you're the one assaulting g-j- while he, objectively, writes his opinion on things, backing it with code. Please, do your best to defend your point in the same way or as best as you can. Bashing people gain you anything. Remember, respect is earned, not asked for.
Please, respect each other's opinions. We can discuss SystemD and leave out personal attacks. Let's not turn this into a flame war. That said, awesome examples j-g-. Those are some of the reasons why I love SystemD. Those who have bad experience using SystemD is because of the poorly hacked/configured environment in where they tried it. I recommend checking out Fedora. It works flawlessly and bugs get attended, as the rest of them. I could say the same thing about Pulseaudio. Also, I didn't come to Funtoo because of it's anti-SystemD attitude. I came here bacause: it's a rolling release distro It's taylor made; you can totally customize it (except for SystemD, that is "forbidden") The build manager is based on Git. It has awesome documentation Daniel Robbins maintains it; with the help of a few chosen ones ;) This is why it surprised me so much when I learned that SystemD would not be supported, ever.
Guys, thanks a lot for your opinions on my own. It's been a fun read and; like everything in the real world, I agree with some, disagree with some and learned a few things in the way. I don't want to come out as a Fedora/systemd chauvinist. I will, also, reserve my opinion on your opinions. This is a private talk we can have, on 1-on-1 basis. Feel free to write to renich a7 woralelandia 6?7 com and we can further on the discussion. If you want to have it online; here; at the forum, let me know. I just want to avoid flames at all cost; that's why I am trying to be cautious. Again, thank you for the awesome feedback.


Posted on Fri, Feb 17, 2012 : 11 a.m.
Last time we visited, I encouraged you to create a strong password. If you haven't done that yet, let me repeat the importance of doing so. A strong password has at least eight characters including one symbol, one number, one capital letter and one lower case letter.
Let's assume after reading my last column you were inspired to immediately change your passwords to meet the best practice guidelines. Let's also assume you followed my suggestion to create different passwords for each account you had online.
Now you have to remember a couple dozen complex passwords. This is the dilemma I believe has kept some people from creating and using the best passwords.
Research and discussion on alternatives to passwords are taking place. The Huffington Post, for example, recently reported that, "Biometric Identification Will Replace Many Passwords In Next Five Years, Says IBM Scientist." Sounds very science fiction to think our computer will do a retinal scan to allow us access to our favorite social media page, but that is one of the options being talked about right now to address this password issue.
It may take some time for any alternative solutions to affect change in our homes or offices. So, in the meantime, we need practical advice on how to manage the passwords in our life.
There are a number of "password management" systems on the market you can use. They are basically programs that store your passwords for you electronically. Millions of people use these systems, however, it is important to realize the pitfalls to having all your passwords stored on an application that is located on your phone or computer.
First, the company that runs the password storage application can get hacked. We have seen some of the most secure systems in the world get hacked in just the last few months alone.
Second, people lose their phones and laptops at an alarming rate. A quick review of online studies shows the number of stolen laptops range anywhere from more than 10,000 a week stolen from airports to one laptop stolen every 12 seconds, or 2.6 million a year in America alone. We are human, and with all the gadgets we carry around on a daily basis, we are bound to lose one eventually.
So, we need to ensure we do everything we can to keep our passwords safe, as they are the key to our data and personal information.
Create strong passwords, and store them safely.
Chose a sentence that means something to you and make that the base of your password. Make sure you use separate passwords for each account.
Phrase you can remember easily: "Some families love to see movies in the theater."
Now, write down password hints (not the passwords themselves) for your online accounts on a piece of paper and store them in a safe spot. It may seem old fashioned to use pen and paper to keep track of your passwords, but right now, it's one of the best options we have.

You state that millions of people are using "Password Management" systems, but then list 2 bullet points stating that they 1) Can get hacked, and 2) People lose things. Why wouldn't you still make a couple of suggestions and advise people to use each one with full knowledge of its strengths and weaknesses? "Write down password hints ... on a piece of paper"? Are you serious? LastPass, 1Password, Keepass, etc. are all great applications at both storing AND generating passwords, and certainly much easier than coming up with a phrase and translating it! I'm sorry but to not use available SaaS solutions simply because they might "Get hacked" is silly. Using the right encryption, you can minimize the risk of loss. "It may seem old fashioned to use pen and paper..." you're absolutely right. I must ask: do you actually practice what you preach? I mean, you personally write your password hints down on paper, and sort of finger through a rolodex of them when you need to remember one? Why even write a technical opinion when you solution isn't even technical? Want to read a REAL article about password storage? Try this Ars Technica article: http://arstechnica.com/security/guides/2011/03/ask-ars-where-should-i-store-my-passwords.ars Warning: Art Technica tends to be full of Science. Of course, you could always just save your favorite Science on little pieces of paper, and access them as you need. Weren't you worried your article would be hacked? Maybe you should have just left it to the print edition, you know, to be safer (LOL)!

In my opinion you can separate "important accounts" from "unimportant accounts" with respect to complexity and uniqueness of passwords. I have several what I deem "unimportant accounts" with the same, or nearly the same password. These accounts get me in to a forum perhaps or a website where I have offered no "delicate" information, only a throw away yahoo or Hotmail address. I reserve my complex passwords for bank, credit card, places I pay bills or use a credit card, that sort of thing. This place for instance doesn't warrant a complex password in my opinion. Am I off base?

The Opportunistic Use of Impeachment to Undermine Democracy in Brazil – posted 6/12/2016 and published in the Concord Monitor on 6/19/2016
June 12, 2016 jonbaird Leave a comment Go to comments
I think it is fair to say that any news of Brazil is scarce in the United States. We generally pay little attention to news outside our country, unless it is about terrorism.
When I was recently in France, I was surprised how much TV news coverage there was about the impeachment of the Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff. It was the lead news story everyday I was there in early May.
Rousseff is currently suspended from office for 180 days, pending a full impeachment trial in Brazil's Senate.
To the extent Americans are paying attention to Brazil, focus turns to the Zika virus and the upcoming Olympic games this summer, The Olympics will be held in Rio in August.
Much of the discussion about Brazil on French TV looked at the question of whether the impeachment of President Rousseff was, in fact, a coup d'etat by the right wing opposition. The reasons for President Rousseff's removal seem murky at best. She has not been charged with stealing money or any crime.
Brazil's legislature voted to suspend President Rousseff from office over accusations that she had tampered with government accounts to hide a budget shortfall. On its face, this hardly seems like any basis for impeachment. Governments of the political left or right routinely do misleading things to try and look better. I would say the Brazilian impeachment effort is on a par with the effort to impeach President Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
The common thread is the bogus use of impeachment to try and reverse an electoral verdict. The party that cannot win an election resorts to a shortcut replacement strategy. In politically polarized countries, especially those with a weaker democratic tradition than our own, impeachment then becomes an undemocratic substitute for legitimate election.
Out of frustration, Brazil's political right has now embarked on the shortcut method because it has not been able to win an election in the last four election cycles.
Noam Chomsky, the famous scholar/activist, called the Brazil impeachment " a kind of soft coup". He said Rousseff is "being impeached by a gang of thieves". Chomsky is alluding to the fact that many of the figures behind the impeachment effort are themselves being investigated for corruption.
Folha de Sao Paulo, a Brazilian daily paper, ran a widely-read story which suggested the aim of the impeachment process was an effort to stifle a massive corruption inquiry known in Brazil as the "Car Wash" probe. Many of the figures in Brazil promoting impeachment against Rousseff are themselves being investigated.
Leaked recordings show the planning minister in the new government, Romero Juca, discussing the impeachment process as a way of stopping the Car Wash inquiry into corruption at Petrobus, the state oil company. Petrobus is Brazil's largest corporation and it is one of the world's largest oil companies. There are actually seven ministers in the new government implicated in the investigation.
The leaked conversations also revealed that some of the politicians under investigation were secretly conspiring with members of the Brazilian Supreme Court and the military. So we have a situation where the right wing interim president and some of his allies face actual corruption charges while they engineer the ouster of a president charged with no crime.
To appreciate this black comedy, it helps to place Brazil's current political situation in a historical context. The writer Eduardo Galeano described Brazil this way:
"There is no country in the world as unequal as Brazil. Some analysts even speak of the Brazilianization of the planet in sketching a portrait of the world to come. By "Brazilianization", they certainly don't mean the spread of irrepressible soccer, spectacular carnivals or music that awakens the dead, marvels that make Brazil shine brightest; rather they're describing the imposition of a model of progress based on social injustice and racial discrimination, where economic growth only increases poverty and exclusion."
Galeano's words were written in the late 1990's before the election of Lula and the center-left Workers' Party, Since the early 2000's, the Workers' Party has won four consecutive national elections. Luis Ignacio da Silva or as he is known in Brazil, Lula, has been the leader of the Workers' Party and he is probably the most popular president in Brazil's history. He left office in 2010 and Dilma Rousseff replaced him. Rousseff was first elected in 2010 by a 56-44 per cent margin and she was reelected in 2014 with a reduced margin of 52-48 per cent.
During Lula's presidency, Brazil's economy boomed. He also presided over a very significant redistribution of wealth. The real minimum wage rose 70%. The government created 21 million new jobs and it also created the Bolsa Familia, a federal assistance program which provided financial aid to poor Brazilian families.
Lula has been widely credited with dramatically reducing poverty and hunger. Lula called his program Zero Hunger. He also promoted an expansion of higher education. Professor Alfredo Saad-Filho of the University of London described the Brazilian change:
"For the first time, the poor could access education as well as income and bank loans. They proceeded to study, earn and borrow, and to occupy spaces, literally, previously the preserve of the upper-middle class: airports, shopping malls, banks, private health facilities, and roads, with the latter clogged up by cheap cars purchased on seventy-two easy payments. The government enjoyed a comfortable majority in a highly fragmented Congress, and Lula's legendary political skills managed to keep most of the political elite on his side."
But then, on President Rousseff's watch, things deteriorated. The present crisis is very much the product of a declining economy, a strengthened right wing opposition, corruption, including in the Workers" Party, and powerful right wing media controlled by the Brazilian oligarchs. Imagine Fox News as every network. That is close to the Brazilian reality. The confluence of these factors created the political power grab opportunity.
Democracy remains fragile although Brazil has made enormous strides toward the construction of a more inclusive and just social system. It is not that long ago in 1964 when the Brazilian military staged a coup and overthrew the democratically elected government of then-President Joao Goulart, a mild social democratic reformer.
For 21 years until 1985, the Brazilian military imposed a brutal dictatorship on the people. The military became infamous and hated for, among other things, the use of extreme torture techniques applied against dissidents. Torture victims included President Rousseff herself. During the military dictatorship in the late 60's until 1970, Rousseff was an underground guerrilla, fighting the regime. Rousseff was captured by the military in 1970 and she was detained for three years without trial.
Her interrogations started with punching, electric shock and then there were sessions of "pau de arara" (suspension from a rod by the hands and feet). She was often beaten and her torturers threatened to disfigure her. They dislocated her jaw and that problem still causes her difficulty. In court proceedings later, Rousseff denounced her own torture and named names of those who tortured her.
A Truth Commission found 434 people were killed or disappeared during the dictatorship. Thousands more experienced beatings, electric shock, sexual violations and psychological torture. The report named 377 people it said were involved in human rights abuses, of whom 196 are still alive. The torturers have so far escaped criminal prosecution. There is a 1979 amnesty law which prevents those who committed abuses from being tried or punished.
Since the military coup in 1964, a body of evidence has appeared showing the role of the United States in assisting the Brazilian military in its coup efforts. The extent of the U.S. role remains in dispute. There is also strong evidence showing the American and British role in training the Brazilian military in torture techniques.
To appreciate the gravity of the present crisis, the history of the military dictatorship must be mentioned. It remains a tricky challenge how Brazil will be able to constructively move forward without reverting to increased economic injustice and authoritarianism. The impeachment of President Rousseff is a step in the wrong direction.

Didn't I read somewhere awhile back that the "school" that was active in training the South American regimes back on the '70's and '80's and based out of our military bases here in the US, was once again becoming active.
Of course, I also read that it was also made use of in the Gulf region. Never let it be said we stayed out of other people's politics. We just don't like anyone interfering in ours.

Meet Constance from Alabama, USA!
Constance is currently working on her doctorate in Library and Information Science at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. She's originally from Tuskegee, Alabama and loves the South.
Yarn Store: Yarnhouse Studio in Opelika, AL. It is only 20 minutes from my hometown and I used to regularly attend Saturday morning knitting there before starting graduate school.
Yarn: Currently, I have been knitting with Knit Picks Palette quite a bit. I really enjoy the wide range of colors especially with my growing addiction to fair isle knitting. Another favorite is Quince and Company wool yarns especially Chickadee and Finch. I really like the bounce, color, and consistency of the Quince and Company yarns.
Why do you knit? I first started knitting because I was bored and wanted a productive pastime. After thinking about various crafts, I thought knitting would be great because I have a love for fashion and clothing. Therefore, my craft could produce garments that I would enjoy wearing. I now knit because it is a relaxing activity that keeps my mind active. There are always new things to try with this skill and I have yet to get bored by it. I've been knitting strong for 10 years now! I would've never imagined that would be the case.
Most challenging project (and why)? My most challenging project was the Vivien Sweater from the book Sweater Girls by Madeline Weston and Rita Taylor. Before this project, I had only done fair isle on a limited scale. So, this was my first time tackling a full fair isle garment. It actually took me two years to finish the top. However, I recently started another Vivien Sweater and it is flying off the needles. I think I needed to get over the hump to gain confidence with the technique.
What's your new favorite thing? My favorite thing is knitting podcasts. Seriously, I can't get enough of them! I get such joy with playing a podcast in the background while working on a knitting project alongside the perfect beverage (it's currently an aloe vera drink). It's definitely my favorite pastime.
Great article. I am Constance's mother. So proud.
If needed, this can be revised to: Great article, Family and friends are so proud.
Thank you for your lovely knitting story! Happy knitting!

Anne Briggs - Sing a Song for You (LP)
VIN180LP127
Label: Fledg'ling Records
Released: 21 Apr 2018
Genre: Folk, World, & Country
Style: Folk
Originally recorded in 1973, but didn't see the light of day until many years later in 1997. Anne had been pregnant and the recordings were made a few weeks before the birth of her second child, and consequently the released was held back due to Anne's unhappiness with her singing at the time. The album is the only instance of Anne Briggs recording together with a band. The band was Ragged Robin, a short-lived electric folk outfit founded by folk musician and singer-songwriter Steve Ashley. In October 1996 Briggs commented: "It was a lot of fun playing with Ragged Robin — the only time in my life I've ever worked with a group — they were tolerant of my inability to know what key I was playing or singing in, or even what chords I was playing [if any]!"

← Where is the bookstore?
Being in a book club is popular with many readers. It's fun to share opinions, likes, and dislikes about a particular selection. Clubs meet in homes, community clubhouses, book stores, libraries, cafes. They develop their own rules and procedures. Some groups, the products of technology, meet online or listen to regularly scheduled podcasts or radio broadcasts or view TV presentations.
Before the internet, book group leaders prepared for the upcoming book discussion by doing research at the local library and in encyclopedias, newspapers, and magazines. They collected author biographical items, reviews, and information about the book itself: characters, themes, setting, plot, structure. They devised questions to ask to stimulate discussion. Gathering information on some authors and books was more difficult than on others.
Today, with the internet, the same information on authors and their work is easily found. Discussion questions are also online and often included in the books themselves. (Sometimes these questions are good, sometimes not.) With information so readily available to everyone, how is a discussion kept fresh? More about that in a moment. First, a bit more about book clubs.
Discussion leaders (and members) often add hands-on items and visuals of interest. For example, photographs from a trip through Steinbeck's California locales for a discussion of Sweet Thursday. Or a sprig of oleander to illustrate the motherhood metaphor in the book White Oleander by Janet Fitch.
Some groups incorporate foods and wines mentioned in the selection and serve it at their meetings. Author Susan Vreeland published a little booklet of French recipes to accompany Luncheon of the Boating Party. To add to the fun, members may dress "in costume" for a book. In this case, a Parisienne outfit as might be worn at La Maison Fournaise.
Visuals, foods, and authors as guests remain welcome additions to any book club meeting. But, with the explosion of information and ready-made questions, what can the group leader do to make a discussion new, interesting, and energized? Some options are available.
These options are all excellent resources. However, one element really keeps a discussion fresh and spontaneous … the leader's own original questions. Questions that probe, reveal, make comparisons, uncover contrasts, discover connections, and search for layers of meaning. After that, props, food, and technology only serve to enrich the process. The goal remains to uncover ideas through shared insights and lively discussion. It's still about the people … their thoughts and voices. And a little laughter and fun.

In calling millions of Americans "deplorable," Hillary set off a firestorm of controversy and protest on social media.
Physicians serve patients to focus on healing, not ripping people apart causing more pain. Thus, from a medical perspective, it is abhorrent when a Presidential candidate resorts to such divisive and demeaning tactics, smearing hard-working Americans who are simply expressing their Constitutional rights with differing opinions about our country's major economic and social issues.
Physicians who took an Oath to serve patients to the best of our ability face a deplorable situation daily: the high cost of medical care, the high cost of prescription medications, the onerous burden of federal and state regulations that take time away from our focus on patients, the increasing delays in access to specialty care with more physicians going out of practice due to the burdens imposed by ObamaCare.
It is deplorable that patients' lives are adversely affected when politicians—in this case 100 percent Democrats—pass new laws that interfere with medical decision-making and provision of services to patients, as they did in 2010 with the "Affordable Care Act.".
It is deplorable that good physicians cannot stay in practice to serve patients due to ObamaCare-imposed regulations that make staying in business economically impossible.
It is deplorable that prescription drug shortages are dramatically worse since ObamaCare passed.
Related What If Sick People Lose Their ObamaCare?
It is deplorable that prescription medication prices have soared under the new insurance rules of ACA.
It is deplorable that the Medicare budget was cut by more than $700 billion to shift resources from care of the elderly to Medicaid services for younger people, refugees, and illegal border crossers.
So what has Candidate Clinton proposed to solve THESE deplorable conditions?
In fact, Hillary has been on record for MORE government control and NO private medical care for the United States since the 1993 secret task force she headed at the request of husband and POTUS, Bill Clinton. The "HillaryCare" task force was intended to operate in total secrecy—but eventually hundreds of boxes of documents were released to the National Archives because of a lawsuit by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
"HillaryCare" is truly deplorable. It would be far worse than ObamaCare. Hillary planned to eliminate allprivate medical care in the United States, creating a single-payer, "public option" socialized medicine system controlled totally by the federal government. This is like the system currently in place in Canada.
HillaryCare is NOT the same as the two-tier British system, which allows private consultations, diagnostic testing and treatment on a fee-for-service basis to those who cannot get what they need on the National Health Service.
Hillary's deplorable 1993 proposals allowed no "back door" to pay privately for faster or better medical care. Clinton's 1993 plan imposed fines of $50,000 on physicians for the first offense of "private practice" and the second offense sent physicians to jail with loss of their medical license.
Under Hillary's proposed "healthcare reform," you might keep your doctor but he or she would be employed by and working for the Federal Government. NOT you.
"Basket of Deplorables" is not a fitting term to describe human beings who support Trump. "Basket of Deplorables" IS a fitting description of Hillary Clinton's plan to destroy America's medical care.
Hillary's plan is worse than deplorable. It would be deadly to millions of patients who could not get the care they need when they need it under totalitarian federal control of America's entire medical system.
Hillary's desire for power and control over our very lives is what is truly "deplorable" for Americans. America was founded on the very cornerstone idea that Life and individual Liberty are God's gifts, not the government's.

Reporter's disappearance blamed on bad reaction to medication
By Ivory Hecker, FOX 26 News
HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Houston police say a bad reaction to medication is to blame for the disappearance of sports reporter Courtney Roland who was found safe Monday morning in near The Galleria.
Police received a missing person report on Sunday after friends and family were unable to contact Roland following her disappearance on Saturday. Police say Roland's roommate said she received a text message from Roland about a suspicious man following her in a vehicle as she was returning home from work on Saturday. Roland had never arrived home that night.
"We believe at that point she was already having her reaction," said Capt. Mark Lentini, commander over the Houston Police Department Missing Persons Unit.
During the police investigation from Sunday into Monday morning, police say they found Roland's Jeep in the Ethan Allen parking lot of The Galleria with her cell phone and other belongings inside. Police say they also found Roland's purse at a Starbucks inside The Galleria. Police say Roland, 29, was also seen walking alone at a store inside The Galleria at around 5:40 p.m. Sunday.
"In her state of confusion, I think she kind of lost track of time and her awareness and I don't think that she was aware that she was being looked at as a missing person," said Capt. Lentini.
Police say they aren't sure yet what all transpired during the two nights and a day that Roland was missing, but they believe that she spent a significant amount of that time trying to find her cell phone by tracking it with an iPad. They say it appears she stayed in her car both nights.
Police say they don't believe any foul play or suspicious activity happened in this case and there is no evidence Roland has been assaulted.
Roland is a reporter for rivals.com. She also does TV sports segments on KUBE TV Channel 57, where she has worked with sportscaster Paul Gallant.
"She's very nice, she's very kind, and when you hear that about anyone, you're going to be pretty terrified, so I was glad to hear today that she was found," said Gallant. "I've never ever been under the impression that she was mentally out of it."
Police are not saying what medication Roland was using.

UNIQUE PROGRAMS
Christian Service Program: More than 1,400 students, employees, and alumni participate in community service activities annually through campus programs, including the university's annual MLK Service Day. This outreach is made possible by more than 60 active community partners providing nonprofit opportunities to minister to refugees and the homeless, fight pediatric cancer and human trafficking, coach soccer, and mentor and tutor children, among others. The program's core focus is to address the needs of vulnerable groups identified in Matthew 25 by feeding the hungry and thirsty, welcoming strangers, attending to the sick and grieving, and caring for those imprisoned physically and mentally.
LifeGroups: More than 1,200 students participate in LifeGroups (student-led small groups).
Living in Balance Quality Enhancement Plan: To strengthen the pursuit of wholeness, the university chose to focus on increasing cardiorespiratory fitness in students. The two-hour general education physical activity requirement was increased to four, meaning students will take one physical activity course per year.
Southern Scholars: Highly motivated students are awarded a scholarship for participating in this interdisciplinary academic program. The program focuses on developing students' strong critical thinking skills that are relevant to both personal and academic life, while the depth and breadth of Scholars learning occurs within a community of more than 60 peers and with the mentorship of faculty from diverse fields.

According to reports that Ariel Helwani received, McGregor and his entourage arrived at the Barclays Arena shortly after media day had wrapped up.

According to Helwani's sources, Michael Chiesa, who is scheduled to face Anthony Pettis on Saturday night, suffered a laceration -- but it's unclear if that changes his status for Saturday. Footage of that aftermath has also surfaced.
Helwani said he was told the van also had Khabib Nurmagomedov in it, someone that has positioned himself for a McGregor fight if he can win this Saturday night. Footage has surfaced showing McGregor throw a bike rack backstage, but it's unclear if this was before or after the van incident.
