Searching for gold, miners discover a frozen baby mammoth
A worker for a mining company in the Yukon made an important discovery while digging in the permafrost: the remarkably well-preserved body of a baby woolly mammoth.
By Christine Chung
About a half-hour before his lunch break one June morning, Travis Mudry was operating an excavator and digging through permafrost in the Klondike gold fields of the Yukon in Canada.
He was scratching at a frozen wall of earth. Suddenly, a big chunk popped out. Along with it was a body of a baby woolly mammoth, frozen and preserved with its hair and hide.
"I thought it was a baby buffalo in the beginning," Mudry, 31, of Alberta, said. "And then I got out, and I was inspecting it, and it had a trunk, so I had no words."
The mammoth was dark and shiny, Mudry said, with short legs and deep, pronounced eye sockets. It had a skinny, wrinkled trunk and a nub of a tail. He quickly waved over a co-worker and called his boss, Brian McCaughan, co-founder of a family-owned gold mining company called Treadstone Equipment.
"It's in front of us glistening in the sun looking like it just died," McCaughan, 57, said of the June 21 discovery. "It was crazy."
He compared its size to that of a white-tailed deer. McCaughan said that unearthing bones, even from mammoths, was commonplace during mining but that this discovery was incomparable.
"It's like we got rewarded by Mother Earth when you pull something like this out of the ground," he said.
Experts estimate that the mammoth was just over a month old when it perished in mud. It was then captured in time, encased in the frozen layer of ground known as permafrost, during the ice age more than 30,000 years ago, said Grant Zazula, a paleontologist for the Yukon government.
To be this well preserved, the mammoth must have been buried by mud very quickly, Zazula said, calling the circumstances "nothing short of a miracle."
He said the baby mammoth was a little over 4 1/2 feet from the base of its tail to the base of its trunk. Though its body was broken in half, possibly by the excavator or by natural forces over time, he said it was "complete from tip to tail."
He said it might be the best-preserved specimen found in North America and could even surpass Lyuba, a female woolly mammoth calf found in Siberia in 2017 almost intact but missing a tail.
Woolly mammoths, ancestors to modern elephants, once traversed the Northern Hemisphere. They disappeared about 10,000 years ago because of excessive hunting and climate change.
Mammoths were abundant in the Yukon's ancient past, said Joshua H. Miller, a paleontologist and professor at the University of Cincinnati.
Today, the territory has a "magnificent" fossil record of prehistoric animals, including steppe bison, ancient cats and short-faced bears, Miller said, adding that mining had contributed to the wealth of discoveries. But most have been bones, not mummies.
The find is important for research, Miller said. Experts can gain a greater understanding of the mammoth's anatomy and environment, and even the conditions that led to its long preservation.
There's also profound meaning for the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in people, the Yukon First Nation whose territory the mammoth died in, Zazula said. He believes this is an opportunity for healing for the nation, which has had a century of conflict with gold rush prospectors.
Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in elders gave the mammoth the name Nun cho ga, "big baby animal" in the Hän language, according to a news release issued last week.
Roberta Joseph, the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in chief, said in a statement that the First Nation looked forward to working with the Yukon government "on the next steps in the process for moving forward with these remains in a way that honors our traditions, culture and laws."
For now, Nun cho ga is in a freezer in the Yukon, several hours from the mine where it was found, awaiting further analysis. While studying the mammoth will reveal "incredible details" about the ancient past, even what the animal's last meal was, there was no rush, Zazula said.
Together, the First Nation, the Yukon government, scientists and the miners are embarking on a journey of cultural and scientific discovery, he said.
"This woolly mammoth is really a symbol of all that together, and how to go forward in a good way," he said.
It's turtles all the way down in the fossil record

Here are a few questions for Yankees and Mets fans to think about as both clubs exit the 2018 Winter Meetings in Las Vegas.
What are the odds Manny Machado becomes a Yankee? Will the Mets actually trade Noah Syndergaard? Here are some questions to ponder after the Winter Meetings.
LAS VEGAS – Minus an earth-shattering trade or a $100 million-plus free agent signing, the Winter Meetings at Mandalay Bay was more of a lounge act than a main-room attraction.
We're left with questions, especially as it pertains to the Yankees and Mets.
While the Yankees agreed to a two-year deal with a vesting option on lefty starter J.A. Happ, the Mets reunited with reliever Jeurys Familia on a three-year deal.
So, the Yankees rotation is potentially set, and the Mets have completed the heavy lifting in the bullpen – with Familia setting up new closer Edwin Diaz – though both teams have plenty left on their winter wish list.
What are the odds Manny Machado becomes a Yankee?
First, there'll be a meeting between Machado, his agent Dan Lozano, and the Yankees' brass to get a better grasp on the superstar infielder's mindset - following a postseason where his hustle and sportsmanship came into question.
But the Yankees already know the impact Machado, 26, can make for years to come.
What they must answer internally is how this impacts third baseman Miguel Andujar, once Didi Gregorius returns to shortstop this summer following rehab from Tommy John surgery.
Is first base or left field in Andujar's future, or is he the key to an impact trade for someone like Cleveland's Corey Kluber?
Plus, can the Yankees successfully hold the line on Machado's salary, making him choose the pinstripes – potentially over the Phillies or White Sox, who'll also reportedly meet with him – without a contract that exceeds $300 million?
How realistic is a trade involving Noah Syndergaard?
New Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen isn't shy about putting the prized right-hander out there in discussions, but the net gain would have to be J.T. Realmuto.
And if the Yankees aren't the conduit toward getting the Marlins' All-Star catcher to Citi Field, maybe it's the Padres in a three-team scenario.
Or maybe the Dodgers use their coveted, young trade chips to land Realmuto, leaving the Mets to mine the free agent market (Yasmani Grandal, Wilson Ramos, Martin Maldonado, Jonathan Lucroy) or explore a trade (Francisco Cervelli, Russell Martin).
Where are the Yankees going for setup relief help?
Free agent choices abound, and the Yanks could ultimately land right-hander Adam Ottavino and lefty Andrew Miller to replace Zach Britton and David Robertson.
But the Red Sox are out there seeking similar names, with little chance of reuniting with closer Craig Kimbrel and Joe Kelly reportedly heading to the Dodgers.
The Mets are also seeking veteran lefty relief help, but on a lesser scale; Tony Sipp and Justin Wilson are out there in free agency.
Who's in center field at Citi Field?
Free agent A.J. Pollock, 31, is reportedly seeking an $80 million, five-year deal, which could exceed the Mets ownership's spending limits.
To that end, Van Wagenen is prepared to go into the season with Juan Lagares as his regular center fielder, though it's not the club's ideal scenario.
Do the Mets really think that free agent Adam Jones is really a center field option now, when he grades out as more of a corner outfielder?
How much of a long shot is a Bryce Harper-Yankees match?
You'll get better odds than the Giants winning the NFC, although the Yankees – as GM Brian Cashman reminded everyone – are a fully functioning Death Star, ready to strike as necessary.
For now, there is no room at Yankee Stadium, with six big-league outfielders and other pressing needs to fill. Plus, the Yanks don't see Harper as a first base option.
But if center fielder Aaron Hicks was dangled in a deal – hey, the Mets would have to be interested – and Machado landed elsewhere, maybe that's a potential road map toward sending Harper to Yankee Stadium.


The public sector physical security management presents huge and unique challenges. This is generally because this sector cuts across many sectorial segments including governmental buildings, power stations, municipal buildings, prisons, court buildings, police stations, highway concessionaries, broadcasting stations, hospitals, institutions of higher learning and utility plants. These buildings are generally large in nature and house many civil servants and public visitations, hence, a proper integrated security management system is better suited for such facilities as each customer's demands and expectations will differ from one another.
For many years, ELID's integrated security system has been a favourite choice for facilities in these sectors as our system's features and reliability are comparable to the more expensive foreign based system. More importantly, ELID's system is able to meet the specifications and needs of these facilities. Our system is able to grow in tandem with the group's aspirations. Should a special need arise for integration or customization, our software developers will make it into a reality for you.


For cyclists and runners, dog attacks can often lead to serious injuries. While a dog bite is perhaps the most commonly feared consequence of an attack, when you are traveling at higher speeds on the sidewalk or side of the road, a dog attack can mean broken bones, severe cuts and bruises, and other fall-related injuries as well.
Most domestic dogs don't chase cyclists and runners because they want to attack them. Instead, they chase because they like the chase itself. As a result, if a dog begins to chase you while you are cycling, many sources recommend getting off of your bike and placing the bike between you and the dog.
Note that, if you are confident that you can outpace the dog, then continuing to ride may also be an option. But, if the dog is only in it for the chase, stopping your ride may be the quicker (and safer) way to bring the confrontation to an end.
For the same reason you should stop riding if you are on a bike, you should also stop running if you are on foot. In addition, since many dog breeds can outrun humans, there is a good chance that you will not be able to escape the attack by running.
Once you stop, you should turn and face the dog. This will let the dog know that the chase is over, and also that you are prepared to defend yourself. If you can, back away slowly and allow the dog's owner to regain control of the dog.
Unless the dog physically attacks you, it is generally recommended that you not try to engage with the dog. Instead of kicking or hitting the dog – which could provoke a response – just try to stand your ground and then back away once the situation is diffused.
If you are not able to prevent an attack, sources suggest tucking yourself into a tight ball on the ground. Protect your head with your arms, and try to remain as calm as possible until the dog realizes that you are not playing with it and that you are not a threat.

Q: Implementing ShaderEffect.IsEnabled I am trying to create ShaderEffect's (quite successfully tbh), however, I have an issue to properly implement IsEnabled for them.
I'd prefer to have IsEnabled to dynamically turn effect on/off, instead of changing Effect property of element. Mainly because I have problems with binding in animation (could explain, if someone will insist, what IsEnabled a wrong way) and usability (binding to IsEnabled is way easier than setting Effect).
Here is effect
public class SomeEffect : ShaderEffect
{
    public Brush Input
    {
        get { return (Brush)GetValue(InputProperty); }
        set { SetValue(InputProperty, value); }
    }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty InputProperty =
        ShaderEffect.RegisterPixelShaderSamplerProperty("Input", typeof(SomeEffect), 0);

    public bool IsEnabled
    {
        get { return (bool)GetValue(IsEnabledProperty); }
        set { SetValue(IsEnabledProperty, value); }
    }
    public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEnabledProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("IsEnabled", typeof(bool), typeof(SomeEffect), new PropertyMetadata(true, OnIsEnabledPropertyChanged));
    private static void OnIsEnabledPropertyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.NewValue != e.OldValue)
            (d as SomeEffect).SetValue(IsEnabledPrivateProperty, (bool)e.NewValue ? 1.0 : 0.0);
    }
    private static readonly DependencyProperty IsEnabledPrivateProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("IsEnabledPrivate", typeof(double), typeof(SomeEffect), new PropertyMetadata(1.0, OnIsEnabledPrivatePropertyChanged));
    private static void OnIsEnabledPrivatePropertyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.NewValue != e.OldValue)
            (d as SomeEffect).SetValue(IsEnabledProperty, (double)e.NewValue != 0);
        PixelShaderConstantCallback(0)(d, e);
    }

    private static PixelShader _shader = new PixelShader() { UriSource = new Uri("...", UriKind.Relative) };

    public SomeEffect()
    {
        PixelShader = _shader;
        UpdateShaderValue(IsEnabledPrivateProperty);
    }
}

and here is shader
sampler2D _input : register(s0);
float _enabled : register(C0);

float4 main(float2 uv : TEXCOORD) : COLOR
{
    float4 color = tex2D(_input, uv);
    if(_enabled == 0)
        return color;

    ...
    return somethingelse;
}

It's done pretty stupid, shader is called always, but will do nothing (return original color) if IsEnabled is set.
There is a tricky workaround to have bool property, shader can only have double, so I implement another dependency property, which is then used by service functions of ShaderEffect (namely,  by PixelShaderConstantCallback and UpdateShaderValue). I could use converter and have double property, but it's better to have bool IsEnabled to use directly in xaml.
What I've tried:

*

*I tried to set PixelShader property to null, this cause service functions to fail, as they assume it will be initialized to not null. If some bound to static callback property of effect is set, while PixelShader == null, there will be an exception

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in PresentationCore.dll
  Additional information: PixelShader must be set on ShaderEffect.

*

*I did it in that stupid way I explained above. I've know very little about shaders, but it's obvious, this approach is wrong. It works however.

*I could think what it might be possible to create a custom control, which will contain two content containers: with effect (always on) and without. Changing IsEnabled for this control will move content from one container to another. But even without starting this looks pretty dumb and limited, though more optimal than previous solution (as shader will not be called for zero-sized or invisible element I think).
So, what will the right way to implement IsEnabled for ShaderEffect?

PUBLISHED: November 24, 2022 at 1:27 p.m. | UPDATED: November 25, 2022 at 12:24 a.m.
By AARON BEARD The Associated Press
PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — Tennessee has twice played without its leading scorer at the Battle 4 Atlantis. It hasn't stopped the 22nd-ranked Volunteers from reaching the championship game.
Julian Phillips scored a season-high 25 points to help Tennessee hold off Southern California 73-66 in overtime in Thursday's semifinals, setting up a matchup with third-ranked and reigning national champion Kansas for the title.
Phillips, a first-year forward, made 7 of 13 shots and 10 of 12 free throws to go with eight rebounds for the Volunteers (4-1), with four of those free throws coming in the OT. It was part of a strong and aggressive performance, one with Wilson being active at both ends.
Boogie Ellis scored 21 points in his second big output in as many days to lead the Trojans (4-2), but USC committed 20 turnovers – six in the overtime – that the Volunteers converted into 25 points.
"Our players played hard," USC coach Andy Enfield said. "They played well for most of the game, a lot of the stretches. But some of the turnovers are us getting sped up and some are bad decision-making. But it's tough to continuously turn the ball over that many times."
Tennessee also had an advantage by getting to the foul line.
The Volunteers were whistled for 10 personal fouls and got to the foul line for 26 shots, making 22. The Trojans were charged with 23 fouls and got to the line just eight times, making seven.
"It is frustrating when there's such a big discrepancy in the fouls," Enfield said. "I guess they played a really good game without fouling."
The Volunteers also got key contributions from Santiago Vescovi, Zakai Zeigler and Olivier Nkamhoua to grind through this one.
"I think this tournament's been great for us," Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said. "Still haven't got our feet under us totally, but playing against a team like we did yesterday and coming back today against a zone team … I knew it wouldn't be easy, and it wasn't."
Tennessee won despite again being without leading scorer Josiah-Jordan James (13.7 points per game) due to soreness in his left knee. He had an offseason procedure on that same joint, and Barnes has said he's day-to-day.
USC: The Trojans beat BYU in Wednesday's first round behind a big performance from Ellis, who scored 21 of his 27 points after the break. But No. 2 scorer Drew Peterson (15.8) had a mistake-filled performance with more turnovers (seven) than rebounds (six) or made baskets (four) and finished with nine points. Still, USC had two chances to win it late in regulation.
Tennessee: The Volunteers pulled away in the second half to beat Butler in Wednesday night's final first-round game. This time, Tennessee won despite shooting just 3 for 18 from 3-point range, with Phillips and Nkamhoua (12 points) leading the offense.
"We didn't want to settle for 3s early," Barnes said of playing against a zone.
"We competed today, we had a chance to win," Enfield said. "Tennessee's a top-25 team and we were right there, had our chances. We're developing and getting better."
KEY CONTRIBUTIONS
Vescovi finished with seven points on 3-for-13 shooting, but he overcame that rough shooting day to hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:45 left in the extra period.
Zeigler went 4 for 4 at the line in the final 23.7 seconds left of overtime to seal the win.
USC: The Trojans will face the Badgers in Friday's third-place game at 10 a.m. PT.
Tennessee: The Vols advanced to Friday's championship game to face No. 3 Kansas, which edged Wisconsin in overtime during Thursday's semifinals.

Q: how to designate Cassandra data storage to certain file-system partition? I used Cassandra to store my data. I use Centos.
   The data seems always to be stored in the root partition, which is too small.
   My file system partitions like
Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/centos-root   50G   25G   26G  49% /
devtmpfs                 7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs                    7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                    7.8G   17M  7.8G   1% /run
tmpfs                    7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

tmpfs                    1.6G     0  1.6G   0% /run/user/1001

Obviously the root partition (50 GB) is much smaller than one at home (873GB).
   Is there a way that I change a setup to enforce data storage using the
   partition "/dev/mapper/centos-home" ?
I need to use the command "sudo service cassandra start" to activate Cassandra.
   If without sudo, my authority doesn't allow me to activate Cassandra.
Thanks!

A: *

*Edit the $CASSANDRA_HOME/conf/cassandra.yaml file (sometimes it is
located under /etc/cassandra also, depending on how you install
Cassandra)

*Update the following properties

*

*(only available since Cassandra 3.x) hints_directory: /var/lib/cassandra/hints // put your own directory here

*data_file_directories:  //put a list of directories here

*

*/var/lib/cassandra/data

Q: Schema generation with EclipseLink and Hibernate (JPA2.1) - @ForeignKey ignored I am testing JPA2.1 and the new "schema generation" feature. For that, I tested two implementations under the HyperSQL database :

*

*EclipseLink 2.5.2-M1 which is the reference implementation.

*Hibernate 4.3

I don't have any preference for an implementation (not even for performance). I tested EclipseLink because it was the first JPA2.1 implementation available, but now, Hibernate 4.3 is here and JPA2.1 compliant. The only thing I want is to get something independent from the JPA provider - except for the configuration (like cache, logging, static weaving, ...).
As for schema generation, several aspect are interesting me :

*

*I'm not satisfied with the default naming strategy of EclipseLink : upper casing the entity class name, or the field/property name, make it unreadable.  And I don't to extends the session customizer (I tried once and I thought it was easier, less dangerous to put annotations...).

*I don't like Upper-case in queries; well that's a personal preference but I also had problems with mySQL on linux, because they don't follow the identifier and keywords are case insensitive unless you double-quote them SQL idiom.

*Hibernate is, by default, not much better, but the naming strategy can be improved using ImprovedNamingStrategy. Sadly, it does not name the foreign key with an explicit name : FK_8gc2pk9u5bsbhpi91x93c77o is not explicit, while fk_foobar_sample is.

Thus, I added @Table, @JoinColumn and @Column annotation to force my naming strategy and now I'm blocked with foreign key generation, whose support seems to be pretty poor (when complying to JPA2.1) :

*

*Hibernate wants me to use the @org.hibernate.annotations.ForeignKey, and for that I need to annotate the field or property. But it is an hibernate annotation, hence it is not JPA2.1 compliant.

*EclipseLink never generate foreign key constraits, unless I put a @JoinColumn and a foreignKey with @ForeignKey(name="..."). But while it generate a foreign key, the definition is missing (ie: ALTER TABLE foobar ADD CONSTRAINT fk_foobar_zorg FOREIGN KEY () REFERENCES  ()) while it should be present according to the Javadoc.

*@ManyToOne is required for Hibernate to generate the foreign key (an exception is thrown), while it is not for EclipseLink. I don't understand why it is required : if the referenced type is annotated @Entity then why should I put @OneToOne, @ManyToOne, @OneToMany and @ManyToMany when it can perfectly be deduced from the referenced classes.

*EclipseLink do not generate foreign key constraints for field annotated with @JoinColumn without a foreignKey set.

What should I do to the get the job done in a pure JPA2.1 way ?
Sources
Because my sample case is somehow too big to be put on Stackoverflow, you will find an archive with 4 maven 3 project :

*

*jpa2.1-parent : parent project (POM)

*jpa2.1-eclipselink : EclipseLink 2.5.2-M1 with @Table and @JoinColumn annotations.

*jpa2.1-eclipselink-default : EclipseLink 2.5.2-M1 without @Table and @JoinColumn annotations and default naming strategy

*jpa2.1-hibernate : Hibernate 4.3 with custom names.

*jpa2.1-hibernate-default : Hibernate 4.3  without @Table and @JoinColumn annotations and default naming strategy

Simply run mvn test on the root project, and run whatever diff tool you like :
colordiff ./jpa2.1-eclipselink/database-create.sql ./jpa2.1-hibernate/database-create.sql
vimdiff ./jpa2.1-eclipselink/database-create.sql ./jpa2.1-hibernate/database-create.sql
diff ./jpa2.1-eclipselink/database-create.sql ./jpa2.1-hibernate/database-create.sql
kdiff3 ./jpa2.1-eclipselink/database-create.sql ./jpa2.1-hibernate/database-create.sql

The POM can also be imported into Eclipse (tested on Kepler), using the Maven Plugin for Eclipse.
Generated SQL
For reference, here is the result of different SQL file (the drop file are wrong too, but only because the constraint name is not overloaded).
EclipseLink
As you can see, the foreign key constraints is syntaxically invalid; and there are two missing constraints on foobar (one to zorg, the other to grumph).
    CREATE TABLE foobar (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, grumph_id BIGINT, sample_id BIGINT, zorg_id BIGINT, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
    CREATE TABLE foobar_getter (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, grumph_id BIGINT, sample_id BIGINT, zorg_id BIGINT, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
    CREATE TABLE sample (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
    CREATE TABLE zorg (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
    CREATE TABLE grumph (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
    ALTER TABLE foobar ADD CONSTRAINT fk_foobar_zorg FOREIGN KEY () REFERENCES  ()
    ALTER TABLE foobar_getter ADD CONSTRAINT fk_foobar_getter_zorg FOREIGN KEY () REFERENCES  ()
    ALTER TABLE foobar_getter ADD CONSTRAINT fk_foobar_getter_sample FOREIGN KEY () REFERENCES  ()

EclipseLink (no @Table, @JoinColumn)
No surprise here : EclipseLink would not be used if it was not able to generate something at least correct.
    CREATE TABLE FOOBAR (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, GRUMPH_ID BIGINT, SAMPLE_ID BIGINT, ZORG_ID BIGINT, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
    CREATE TABLE FOOBARGETTER (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, GRUMPH_ID BIGINT, SAMPLE_ID BIGINT, ZORG_ID BIGINT, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
    CREATE TABLE SAMPLE (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID))
    CREATE TABLE ZORG (ID BIGINT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID))

A: Seems I'm running into bugs of both Hibernate HHH-8783 (I will comment it again, because this does not work with @JoinTable and @OneToMany/@ManyToMany) and EclipseLink 425656, so my question is not longer relevant.
Last thing I still need to understand (but it is outside the scope of my original question) is why I have an unique key generated for @OneToMany in Hibernate, and not in EclipseLink.


The game will turn the S Pen into a magic wand.
Samsung has been expending a lot of effort lately into diversifying its market. Featuring games is one of such efforts which we saw for the first time when it launched Fortnite for Android.
Now, the South Korean tech giant is about to invest $40 million in Niantic, the publisher of the world-famous Pokemon Go, an augmented reality game where you had to catch pokemon by physically travelling to different areas.
However, Niantic is not sharing Pokemon Go with Samsung. Instead, both companies are planning to design a Harry Potter game, that will turn the S Pen into a magic wand.
Although it is not clear as to whether this game will be an addition to Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, which is scheduled to release in 2019 or it will come as a separate title.
Working on the existing Wizards Unite game would be the only chance that Samsung can launch it for the Galaxy Note 10, as Galaxy S10 will be out first and that too without the S-Pen (the wand).
Apart from Harry Potter, Niantic's Ingress will be also a part of the deal. Till now, neither company has made any announcement in this regard, as both seem to be in no hurry.
Rumors have it that both companies want to see more progress in their technical collaboration before they make an official annoucnement of any sort.
As for Pokemon Go, the reports state that Niantic is 'super protective' of it and would not like it to be a part of any partnership.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned from KISS is a love letter from a lifelong fan. Author and AOL Music journalist Chris Epting was recently interviewing rock legends KISS when it suddenly flashed before his eyes that, bizarre as it might seem, the band he had loved since childhood actually played a huge part in shaping how he looks at the world. In that instant, he decided to write about his life long journey with the band, starting out in the early 1970s when he joined the KISS Army and continuing until today.

since 2017, i've been lucky enough to be able to compete in and design for super art fight, a live art competition performance based in the baltimore/dc region. super art fight is best described as a combination of pictionary and pro wrestling, where two artists in stupid costumes and personas share a canvas to draw rotating topics to win over the audience.
in 2018, i was tasked with becoming super art fight's core designer, taking the bulk of the role from one of the showrunners to allow them to focus more on administration. i proposed a logo redesign and refreshed direction for the brand, which included a suite of logos and graphic elements as well as a fully-custom hand-drawn font called super art font. these assets, including an in-progress website redesign, are set to become key elements of super art fight in the near and forseeable future [super art fight, 2018-current].
as a designer for art fight, i create posters, flyers, and banner ads promoting individual shows, as well as overarching branding materials such as business cards. the holiday poster below is my illustration, while the (ultimately unused) unleashed poster is my lettering work in tandem with artwork by michael bracco [super art fight, 2017-current].
stevie speed is a cocky, world champion megastar race car driver, and also really just me in a firesuit and sunglasses. i designed a fake cola company to sponsor my character and the branding materials to go along with it [super art fight, 2017].

Report: Camden police top state in excessive-force claims
Authorities dismissed 44 of the 65 excessive-force complaints made last year.

CAMDEN – Camden County police led the state last year in the number of excessive-force complaints, according to a newspaper analysis.
The county force took over policing duties in Camden in May 2013, and The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that 35 excessive-force complaints were filed for the remainder of that year.
But there were 65 such complaints made in 2014 — more than the combined total of Newark and Jersey City, the state's largest cities, which have hundreds more police officers than Camden County.
Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson told the newspaper that excessive-force complaints account for a tiny fraction — fewer than 1 percent — of the thousands of arrests each year.
Typically, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office investigates an excessive-force complaint first. If it decides not to criminally charge an officer, the case goes to the Police Department, which investigates whether the officer followed procedure.
Authorities dismissed 44 of the 65 excessive-force complaints made last year. Most of them were "not sustained", meaning there was insufficient evidence to clearly prove or disprove the allegation.
The remaining 21 are still pending, according to the most recent data, obtained through a public records request. The Inquirer also reviewed excessive-force complaints dating to 2011, and found not one was sustained.
"We train our officers to use the minimal amount of force necessary," Thomson told the newspaper.
The American Civil Liberties Union, though, has questions about how the investigations are handled.
"A rate of 0 percent when it comes to sustaining excessive-force complaints raises serious red flags about a lack of accountability," said Udi Ofer, executive director of the group's New Jersey chapter.

"This" said Will as he dealt us all a card, "will tell you whether you are a villager or a werewolf, have a look and keep it secret". I looked, I was a villager.
"Where fun comes to life" is the motto of Twilight Creations, the publishers of Zombie Survival. In the case of this particular zombie themed offering, fun has rather appropriately been brutally murdered and then clawed itself to the surface of its shallow grave to paw fitfully and ineffectually at our windows in the name of vengeance.


For years I've heard of a bug in MOTHER 1 that lets you keep EVE the robot permanently in your party, but I never really looked into it. Luckily, BBGangZombie's investigated it and made a video about it!
Apparently the bug only occurs in the Famicom version of the game, not in EarthBound Zero or MOTHER 1+2.
You basically just use the Flea Bag on R7038XX, which makes it so it can't hit hard enough to kill EVE as originally intended. There's also a thing in the game where if a game drags on for 255+ turns, it'll automatically say something like, "The battle dragged on." and then end the battle. So now that the R7038XX battle will last that long, you can get kicked out of battle with EVE still alive!
After the battle ends, it still acts like EVE has exploded and lets you get the melody from EVE's wreckage, but you'll still have EVE in your party too. Cool!
So now you know one of the secret tricks in MOTHER that only Japanese fans really knew about until now!
Unfortunately teleportation with Eve causes her to be removed from the party if it is successful, so I had to do a lot of walking to test this stuff.
I know it's been said before, but it's still pretty cool how we can still find stuff that we don't know about the games.
Start firing up the WALL-E + EVE jokes!
Glitches like these show how much "content" is packed inside the Mother series. I do have to know; do glitches like these hurt any cartridge, be Mother, Mother 2 or Mother 3? I want to try these out, I don't want to damage my valuable Mother.
Also; is finding Runaway Dogs in every town, dungeon and cave, up until Lost Underworld, normal?
Also, no. Runaway Dogs should not be that frequent.
If you really want to try this out but don't want to mess your cart, here are the save states I used to string the video together.
Thanks for your insight. I've always been wary of emulation, but I'll try it out. Thanks!
That is awesome! So what is it about the other versions of the game that keep this from working? Is the 255+ rule eliminated? Or does the flea bag not prevent the damage as well in order to get to that point? Or does the flea bag just not work on R7038XX at all?
^ Flea Bag is disabled on the robots in other versions.
So, does Earthbound Zero still have the 255 round battle rule? What about Mother 1 & 2?
I bet it still does, but battles usually last like ten turns at most. Considering the difficulty of Mother 1, you probably would have to test this on an early random encounter by the end-game. I don't know why there is a round limit, though.
EB0 does, I believe. Not sure about M1+2 but the text associated with it is still there, so my inclination is yes.
As for the 255 limit, I think it's used for the Giegue battle? I didn't look too much into it.


Jean Dreze was a member of the National Advisory Council headed by Sonia Gandhi during the erstwhile UPA regime.
New Delhi: Accusing the BJP of being anti-people, the CPI(M) on Thursday came down hard on the government over the arrest of noted economist Jean Dreze.
Dreze and activist Vivek Gupta were taken into preventive custody for violating the model code of conduct by organising a meeting without permission in Jharkhand's Garhwa district and later released after an investigation, police earlier said.
"CPIM strongly condemns the arrest of noted Economist Jean Dreze in Jharkhand for organizing a Right to Food meeting! Faced with severe criticism the Govt was forced to release him," the party tweeted.
The Belgian-born development economist is known for his activism on the right to food and has co-authored 'Hunger and Public Action' with Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, which focussed on the problem of hunger in the modern world.
"A renowned economist, speaking for the rights of the people, is taken into custody by a BJP state govt. Forget their spin and jumlas, this is how anti-people the BJP is," CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury tweeted.

Q: GWT JSON cross-site request fails imo i did everything according to the tutorial here Googles x-site
    /**
   * Make call to remote server.
   */
  public native static void getJson(int requestId, String url,
      StockWatcher handler) /*-{
   var callback = "callback" + requestId;

   // [1] Create a script element.
   var script = document.createElement("script");
   script.setAttribute("src", url+callback);
   script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");

   // [2] Define the callback function on the window object.
   window[callback] = function(jsonObj) {

   }, 1000);

   // [6] Attach the script element to the document body.
   document.body.appendChild(script);
  }-*/;

but it keeps failing me.. all other methos are also written.. i just can understand why it tells me every time that "Couldn't retrieve JSON"  (it tells that when handler's input is null)
btw i am talking about the "3. Requesting the data from the remote server" on the googles site

A: I'd suggest using JsonpRequestBuilder, instead of all this JSNI code - no JSNI code (maybe just some overlay types), easier to debug, etc.
 String url = "http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/developer-calendar@google.com/public/full" +
     "?alt=json-in-script";
 JsonpRequestBuilder jsonp = new JsonpRequestBuilder(); // No JSNI!
 jsonp.requestObject(url,
     new AsyncCallback<Feed>() { // Type-safe!
       public void onFailure(Throwable throwable) {
         // Easy to debug! (hopefully)
       }

       public void onSuccess(Feed feed) {
         // Success!
         }
       }
     });


If the Ayodhya case goes to the Supreme Court, we can expect one of the following two outcomes: (1) Apex court upholds the Allahabad High Court order. Will be a double blow for a Muslim side already on the backfoot. (2) SC quashes high court verdict. Would be construed as minority appeasement by the Hindu side, with attendant problems. Neither outcome would be good for India. An out-of-court settlement would be in the interest of both the communities. My suggestion: (1) Hindus offer an apology for breaking into Babri Masjid in 1949 to install Hindu idols there, and for demolishing the structure in 1992. The apology should however have no bearing on the criminal prosecution of the culprits involved in the demolition. (2) Hindus pay reparations enough for erection of a new mosque in Ayodhya away from Ram Janmabhumi. (3) All Hindu organizations and the Government of India make a solemn commitment that no claims will be made on any other Muslim holy place in India such as the mosques in Varanasi and Mathura, and no attempts to damage or demolish them will be tolerated. (4) Muslims, for their part, make a brotherly gift of the whole Babri site to the Hindus for the specific purpose of building a magnificent Ram Mandir with the good wishes of Muslims.
India has long been known in the West as home of the snake charmers and rope tricksters. Now it will be more famous for one of its most modern and much admired modern institutions turning out Voodoo justice – an amalgam of law and faith, the judgments given out by the 3 judge bench of a High Court, all with their versions of how Indian law should be interpreted. The Ayodhya verdict will go down in history as one of the finest example of an old tradition-steeped country trying to wear the garb of a new nation without realizing that its slip is showing. In fact, the Emperor wears no clothes. For one of contestants of the title suit of the Babri Masjid property, the Muslims, it is a mockery of justice. The Hindutva version of justice takes Indian justice to another two thousand years back, even prior to any sharia laws of Muslim era, and the verdict seems to be forerunner of how 'Vedic' ( term used for lack of any other suitable Hindu term: with apologies), in contrast to Islamic Sharia, laws may be changing the entire ethos of Indian polity. Pandit Nehru, a high-caste Kashmiri Brahmin, thanks to his exposure to Fabian culture that was in fashion when he studied in Great Britain, tried to position the newly independent India into a gradual slide into the modern world, by introducing 'secularism' as India's constitutional creed. He was so overwhelmingly and suffocating by surrounded by hard-line Brahmins, even in his own Congress Party, that it is a miracle that the façade of secularism is still in vogue in India and the Hindutva hardliners too have eventually found shelter in secularism's benign shadows. The shameless display of triumphalism shown by Saffron Brahmins, while spewing high moral slogans of unity and integrity in Indian society, is ample example of how the fascists have completely taken over the entire country, lock, stock and court hammer.
Many journalists are writing columns on the reaction/feedback of the Muslim community to the High Court judgement on the Babri mosque dispute. The Urdu newspapers are having a field day in depicting the Muslim community as all are set to make an appeal to the Supreme Court and not accept the High Court judgment. They are calling it a matter of honour for the community. In several instances they are either selectively quoting the feedback they are receiving from the community or they are quoting their own opinions as opinions of the community. The fact is that most people in the Muslim community will like to give this matter good analysis and patient thought and reviews it from all angles, before making up their mind. First reports are that the opinions in the Muslim community are split almost at the middle. The century old, powerful Jamiat ul Ulema Chief just issued a statement asking Muslims to not appeal to the Supreme Court and accept the High Court judgement, even though they are very unhappy about it. The journalists are well meaning folks however it is the ordinary Muslims who will face the juggernaut of the Hindutva militancy. The ordinary Muslims have to ponder over the reality of what is called "secular India" and decide on the issue. They have to balance their economic and social welfare over fighting on a principle to its limits. The question remains as to why the responsibility to fight and suffer for true secularism in India is the responsibility of the Muslims? While the top priority of other communities (Dalits, OBCs, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists) is economic and social welfare. And thus while Muslim lag behind in socioeconomic arenas other communities are moving ahead. It behoves that Muslims' take the opinions and exhortation of journalists in their stride and make up their mind on the basis of their own realistic considerations.
People believed that the Earth was flat and we would ultimately fall down into the abyss of Hell if we walked straight in any direction, but that belief did not make the Earth flat. People believed for centuries that the Earth was the centre of the Universe but that popular belief did not change reality. The Earth still is just one of the satellites of the Sun. People believed that the Sun is circling the Earth, as they witnessed the Sun rising in the east every day and setting in the west. That illusion did not turn into reality. Popular belief did not make the Sun go round its satellite. The Earth still circles the Sun. People believed that the entire universe revolved round the Sun. Cosmological studies dethroned Sun from that enviable position and placed that ordinary star existing in a spiral arm of the Galaxy called Milky Way. And that galaxy is just one of the many star systems in the Universe. People conceived of a finite Universe but science proved that the Universe is expanding. People's belief did not stop its expansion. People believed that the thirty-three million Gods of the Hindu Pantheon really existed in the hoary past, but their belief does not transform mythology into history. People believed that the mythological character named Ram was born in a place called Ayodhya, but their belief cannot transform mythology into history, even if periwig-pated eggheads swear it on oath.
In 1885-86 AD, a Hindu priest Raghuvir Das and his companions filed a suit in the court of Faizabad sub-judge Pundit Harikishan to build a shed over a Chabutra, 95 steps away from Babri Masjid, since according to their faith the Chabutra was Ram's birth place. The sub-judge Pandit Harikishan and then in subsequent cases the District Judge and English High Court Judge rejected the claim and dismissed the suit. The Judicial evidence of this historical suit proves that the Hindus laid claim not on the structure of the Babri Masjid but on a Chabutra far away from it. The complete record of this case is before the special Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court. The reality is that the stories were fabricated only after Babri Masjid was illegally and force fully taken by Hindus on 22 December, 1949 and idols of Ram were placed in Babri Masjid. This incident was enquired, reported and FIR was filed on 23/12/1949 by police sub-Inspector Shri Ram Dubey of Ayodhya police station.
There is no denying the fact that the verdict on Babri Masjid has left a vast majority of Muslims feeling cheated by the Judiciary. They had hoped for a Judgement based on impartiality but it seems that the Judges were influenced by the propaganda war unleashed by the anti-Muslim group. There is a small minority of anti-Muslims, who justify their crime by citing Saudi Arabia or concocted history. Unfortunately they are more vocal, more visible and able to influence many saner persons including Muslims. But they conveniently forget the safety and security enjoyed by the vast majority of non-Muslims in the Muslim areas/countries. During the Muslim rule in India, the Muslims were in minority and even today Muslims are in minority. This exposes the rabidly false propaganda. In the recent past no one can ignore the fact that Muslims have been brutally killed in Gujarat, Mumbai, Nelie, Bhagalpur and a number of other places. The denial of job opportunities and discrimination of Muslims in India is a well documented fact. The installation of idols and demolition of the Babri Masjid was a confirmed criminal act and the Judgment has tried to ignore these fundamental facts, by justifying that in the garb of faith. Those who favour the judgement say that there was no violence after the judgement. Contrary to the perception, the fact is that Indian Muslims are peace loving and even in the event of injustices done to them, they abide by the rule of Law. Had the Judgement gone in favour of Muslims there would have been violence against them by their adversaries. However, the over-all good about Indians is that a huge majority of Muslims and non-Muslims are peace loving and believe in the Judgement of the hereafter. Due to which we find that the main vocal critics of the Judgement are Hindus.
The Ayodhya dispute is as unsolved as ever. One shudders at the possibility of the communal peace suddenly snapping. The three way division of the loaf has left everyone hungry. The immediate resolution of dispute is more necessary than it ever was. The UPA government whose duty it is to take steps to prevent communal mobilization has washed its hands off the issue. It is an unpardonable dereliction. This inspite of the fact that the BJP, off and on, has been pleading with ruling Congress to facilitate dialogue between the two communities to end the dispute. Rajnath Singh, in 2005, made such a request. Vinay Katiyar pleaded with Congress last month to join in the process of dialogue to solve this vexed problem. Speaking on the occasion of the silver jubilee celebration of the BJP, Mr Advani has stated," but for the fact that the party could not remain in power at Delhi, the Ram Mandir would have materialized at Ayodhya." He asserts that the talks to resolve the Ayodhya dispute had been at an advanced stage in the last year of NDA's tenure and that an enduring solution was possible through an agreement between two communities. Mr Advani has remained silent on who were the participants and what was the nature of the talks that had reached an advanced stage. He is also silent on what sort of "an atmosphere of mutual trust" was created during these talks and how. He will be doing a great service to the nation if he can still pick up the threads from where they were left with whoever participated in the talks. There is no need to be in power to pursue this noble goal.
A resolution was passed during the meet of advocates practicing in Allahabad High court on 10 October. In this meeting people's responses in the aftermath of the verdict were highly praised. Though the Muslims community was a bit disappointed but the way they remained calm even on this sensitive issue was laudable. It was also discussed at the meeting regarding law and order situation pre and post verdict. It was also unanimously decided on the basis of opinion from various section of society that the verdict was mainly based on faith rather than facts. We also agree to the recommendation of AIMPLB to move to the Apex court. Khursheed Anwar on behalf of Muslim advocates of Allahabad High Court.
Forced disappearance and daily harassment are the main causes of grievances in Kashmir. As for the tensed calm post 30 Sept verdict, well known fact is Muslims never crossed the line on the Babri masjid issue, it was in court since 60 yrs. rather the Hindutva brigade used it to incite people, Advani and BJP can trace their rebirth to this incitement of this hatred. Muslims always treated it as a legal dispute with religious affinity. But the extremist Hindu leaders played the card.
Is there any spare time with Rahul Gandhi to read this sincere letter from the Editor of the Milli Gazette? Any way I fully agree with it and appreciate it. I think is better to send one more similar letter to our Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh & cc to Sonia Gandhi.
One thing should be brought home to all Kashmiris that under no circumstances, shall Kashmir be allowed to be alienated from India. This is a historical imperative and the youth better understand this basic premise of the integration of Kashmir with India. Any kashmiri leader worth his salt should be bold enough to understand this and make others to understand the same. As has been observed, no amount of militancy including export of terrorism by Pakistan into indian soil, as also driving away hapless Hindus from Kashmir has made any dent in this ground reality. In the entire rigmarole, the poor local Kashmiri suffers, while this so called leaders are flush with funds, real estate, not only across India, but around the globe. These so called leaders are no sympathasiers to the gullible kashmiri youth. They just care for themselves - Just a cursory glance at their property, acquired in sequel to militancy, shall speak loud and clear. Things shall definitely look up when the youth of Kashmir understand that their future can only be shaped in India. No amount radical influence can be of any help to them. Wishing the Kasmiri youth good luck and pray good sense prevails upon them.
The government's appointment of three apolitical personas Dilip Padgaonkar, Radha Kumar and M M Ansari as interlocutors for Kashmir is the first sensible thing done by this government although the PM has repeated his mistake of not taking the opposition in confidence. The BJP and the left have already raised eyebrows. The very fact that the hardliner Sayed Ali Shah Geelani was quick to reject the group and others are not quick to accept it indicates the low level of rapport enjoyed by Manmohan Singh in Kashmir compatred to what Atal Bihari Vajpayee commanded. This group of apolitical interlocutors must take cognizance of the facts that the Kashmir situation was the best at the fag end of Vajpayee's prime ministership and it is the worst today. This group will do well to learn what Vajpayee's "Kashmiriyat ke daire me" and "insaniyat ke daire me" means.
The nomination of three interlocutors by the central govt. to start a fresh dialogue with people of different shades of opinion is yet another maverick strategy by the Govt. of India to hoodwink the world community. Previously the Saghir committee constituted by the central govt. also talked to the people of Kashmir and even put forth its suggestions to redress the grievances of the people. But unfortunately nobody knows the fate of those recommendations. India is often repeating such maverick moves to buy time and deceive the international community. This way, instead of resolving this complex issue, Indian think-tank would be making the issue more complex and confusing. During the last few months more than 110 innocent persons have already been killed with no fault of theirs. Even the teenagers were not spared. In such a highly charged atmosphere, the nomination of these irrelevant interlocutors does not make a sense. It has been a tragic part of Kashmir history that India is completely ignoring the genesis of Kashmir issue. Kashmir is not a mere territorial issue but it is linked with the aspirations of 100 million people. Kashmir dispute has dragged both India and Pakistan to fight four wars and is constantly draining their economy. Since both the countries are underdeveloped as such cannot bear huge expenses to sustain the Kashmir problem. India claiming to be the champion of democracy should have been more proactive and pragmatic vis a vis the solution of Kashmir dispute. The constitution of working groups/nomination of interlocutors is definitely going to fetch nothing except sheer wasting of time bluffing the masses and hoodwinking the international community. The Indian authorities have put aside the demands of both the factions of Hurriyat conference.They had demanded for demilitarization of troops, releasing of detainees, revocation of AFSPA, initiation of dialogue process.In fact Ali Shah Geelani had added one more demand that is recognizing Kashmir as an international dispute. This indifferent attitude of Indian Govt.has not only disappointed the general masses but even the mainstream parties like PDP. Now that the situation is not cooling down in this mountainous region.It becomes obligatory upon India to engage both Pakistan to hammer out a long lasting solution to this vexed issue.
Milli Gazetteappears to be the only bold newspaper representing the downtrodden Muslims of India.Massive contributions in terms of finance should be made to make it more and more powerful. This paper should reach out to all Muslims of India and the world to challenge Hindu hypocrisy and lies. The Hindus have an extremely lobby in the West. It is this lobby that finances the anti Muslim Hindu establishment in India with their saffron dollar and saffron pound. Today in the world it is not the fundamental Christians but the Hindus who are the greatest enemies of the Muslims.If Muslims in India are to survive they have to unite under a very strong political leader who is sadly never seem to be there.Muslims politicians in India are a joke. They are so pitiably weak and boring or merely opportunistic.
This refers to the report captioned "Aziz Burney" (MG, 1-15 September, 2010). It is a matter of profound pleasure that Group Editor of Rashtriya Sahara Urdu daily was honoured with Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar Award by World Islamic Forum, London, in acknowledgement of his bold, fearless and revolutionary Journalism in India. Mr Aziz Burney deserves this honour for his contributions to Urdu Journalism.
I can't agree more with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat when he says that terrorism and Hinduism are contrary to each other and that a Hindu can never be a terrorist. What he conveniently ignores to mention is that a Brahmin and precisely an Aryavart Brahmin that he himself is, could very well be a terrorist and is born with terror instincts? Since the arrival of Aryas from central Asia, India, for centuries, has witnessed series of brutal attacks and terrorism on peace loving Jains, Buddhists and local Dravidians unleashed by the Aryans. And who can pardon the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, conspired and implemented upon by the Pune based Aryavart Brahminists with an active connivance by Sardar Patel himself?. And look at the long list of today's star terrorists of 'Abhinav Bharat (all Brahmins) pioneered by another Brahmin terrorist Damodar Savarkar and later revived by Lt. Col. Purohit Prasad, whose involvement in all the bomb blasts, that were carried in different cities including Samjhouta Express, is being confirmed today even by the Brahmin supportive mainstream media. The irony however, with our Hindu brethren, given their simplicity, is that they could easily be victimised by the Brahminical conspirical theories and statements that are actually aimed against them and not minorities. The day the indigenous Hindus woke up (and they are waking up fast) and realised how for centuries, they had been fooled and victimised by the Brahmins, India would witness a new dawn and true sense of democracy and Independence.
So called Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi Syed Ahmed Bukhari assaulted a journalist, Mr. Mohammad Abdul Waheed Chisti of Dastaan-e-Awadh, for asking a question on the Allahabad High Court verdict and Babri Masjid title suits while addressing a Press Conference at Lucknow. Attack on Mr. Chisti is an attack on freedom of press. Mr. Bukhari has brought disrespect to not only the office of Shahi Imam but also on the entire Muslim community. Mr. Bukhari convened a press conference to appraise the public about Babri Masjid verdict. He cannot expect the questions which please him or are suitable to him. Sometimes, one has to face embarrassing questions. Why did he convene press conference, if he was not prepared to face adverse, inconvenient and uncomfortable questions? Mr. Bukhari should tender an apology not only to Mr. Chisti but also to the entire press. If he fails to tender an apology, he should be put behind bars for taking law into his own hands.
Dr. Manmohan Singh is right when he attacked and blamed Bihar CM Nitish Kumar for mess of the state. Nitish and his NDA rule have failed on all projects that were given by the centre for people's benefit. The fact is that Nitish Kumar along with BJP is ruining the development and progress of Bihar, where people are struggling for survival due to non-implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) and other special schemes that were meant for lower income group and minorities in the state. Centre has repeatedly tried to speed up the pace of progress in Bihar by providing basic needs like electricity, roads and good irrigation facilities. As per report, from year 2004 until now, the centre has given more than Rs. 6,000 crore for many districts and the Centre is giving special support and assistance, but the Bihar government has totally failed and not fulfilled its duties despite repeated reminders and warnings. They should elect government under the able leadership of one who can can offer a better and progressive govt.

The love affair between Robert and Clara Schumann was ill-fated from the beginning. Clara was the daughter of a renowned piano teacher and a child prodigy due to her ambitious father and daily lessons in piano, violin, singing, harmony, composition and counterpoint. She met her future husband when he came to study under her father in 1830. Robert was a gifted pianist and composer. He proposed to Clara in 1837, but unfortunately her father withheld his consent for three years. Finally in 1840 they married, one day before Clara's 21st birthday and went on to have 8 children together. Their lives were very tumultuous, riddled with mental illness, but Clara's resilience shone through as she brought up her children alone by giving recitals all over Europe while burnishing her late husband's reputation as a composer.
This letter was Clara's response to Robert's marriage proposal.
You require but a simple 'Yes'? Such a small word - but such an important one. But should not a heart so full of unutterable love as mine utter this little word with all it's might? I do so and my innermost soul whispers always to you.
The sorrows of my heart, the many tears, could I depict them to you - oh no! Perhaps fate will ordain that we see each other soon and then - your intention seems risky to me and yet a loving heart does not take much count of dangers. But once again I say to you 'Yes'. Would God make my eighteenth birthday a day of woe? Oh no! that would be too horrible. Besides I have long felt 'it must be', nothing in the world shall persuade me to stray from what I think right and I will show my father that the youngest of hearts can also be steadfast in purpose.
I happened to come across another beautiful love letter posted by the Art of Manliness - written by a man on the eve of battle. Check it out.

Ha raggiunto la notorietà grazie alla sua militanza nel gruppo musicale groove metal Pantera dal 1987 fino allo scioglimento avvenuto nel 2003. Negli anni successivi Anselmo è rimasto attivo nella scena musicale attraverso numerosi altri gruppi musicali di vari generi heavy metal e da solista con il progetto Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals.

Nel 2006 la rivista Hit Parader lo ha inserito nella sua lista dei 100 migliori cantanti metal di tutti i tempi alla posizione numero 37.

Biografia

L'infanzia
L'infanzia di Phil Anselmo non fu delle più felici, in gran parte a causa del padre, gestore di diversi bar nella città, che era solito ubriacarsi. In un'intervista concessa nel 2002 durante l'Ozzfest, Anselmo ha affermato di aver dato accidentalmente fuoco alla casa dei propri genitori quando aveva quattordici anni con una stufa a legno in un tentativo di spaventare sua sorella minore e una sua amica. Prima di dedicarsi alla carriera musicale, Anselmo lavorò per un certo periodo a bordo della barca del patrigno.

Gli esordi e i Pantera
Oltre ad essere un appassionato di gruppi heavy metal, come Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Venom e Slayer, Phil ascoltava molto hardcore punk e gruppi come Black Flag, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles ed Exploited. Nel 1985 riuscì ad entrare a far parte dei Razor White, una band che si ispirava ai Judas Priest e ne proponeva diverse cover, esibendosi in diversi concerti nei locali di New Orleans. Nel 1987 Anselmo venne notato e chiamato da Dimebag Darrell e Vinnie Paul per sostituire Terry Glaze nei Pantera. Esordì con il gruppo nel disco Power Metal del 1988. Il genere prodotto era un glam metal molto massiccio nel quale Phil diede grande prova delle sue enormi doti vocali, molto vicine a quelle di Rob Halford dei Judas Priest.

Successo internazionale
Con Cowboys from Hell (1990) iniziò la trasformazione dei Pantera che estremizzarono ancora di più il loro sound (abbandonando il look glam ottantiano) e la voce di Philip divenne ancora più potente, ma allo stesso tempo melodica. Il sound, che già era parzialmente evidenziato nei precedenti album, venne portato ai propri estremi grazie al produttore Terry Date, che spinse sulle chitarre estremamente compresse e sul trigger della batteria. L'importante svolta, sia a livello musicale che di look, venne completata con l'uscita di Vulgar Display of Power (1992), che fu il disco più venduto del quartetto. Il CD è violento, grezzo, un manifesto di una rivoluzione. A New Level mostra un Anselmo molto aggressivo, in Walk il cantante usa un tono di voce rauco tipico del blues e in Hollow dimostra di possedere anche un'ottima timbrica pulita. Nel 1994 uscì Far Beyond Driven, album che segnò una pesante virata verso il lato più estremo dei Pantera. Anselmo canta ormai quasi solo urlando e sempre più rari sono gli episodi con voce pulita. Le foto del disco, i testi che spesso parlano di droghe e distruzione, la pubblicazione dei primi Vulgar Videos fecero sì che la figura di Anselmo diventasse sempre più mitizzata e imponente.

I Down e i primi problemi con la droga
A metà degli anni novanta si concentrò nuovamente su un vecchio progetto, i Down, in cui militavano membri di Corrosion of Conformity e Crowbar. Il gruppo era nato anni prima, ma era stato temporaneamente accantonato perché ogni componente potesse occuparsi della propria band principale; in questo periodo iniziarono a circolare alcuni demo e nel 1995 venne finalmente pubblicato il disco d'esordio, NOLA. Dopo una breve serie di soli tredici concerti, Anselmo tornò però ad occuparsi dei Pantera con cui, nel 1996, pubblicò l'album The Great Southern Trendkill, forse il disco più estremo del gruppo; la voce di Phil subì un notevole cambiamento (come già si era avvertito, in parte, in Vulgar Display of Power), diventando un rantolo cupo e velenoso, conservando però sempre la sua musicalità canora. Da un lato le urla coprirono al meglio le parti più estreme e tirate come War Nerve e Suicide Note Pt 2, dall'altro il timbro devastato e quasi soul va ad aumentare ancor di più l'atmosfera di brani come Suicide Note Pt 1, 10s e Floods. Il 13 luglio 1996, durante un concerto del tour in Texas, Anselmo perse i sensi nel backstage a causa di un'overdose di eroina e venne ricoverato immediatamente in una clinica. Nonostante fosse rimasto per qualche minuto tra la vita e la morte, Phil si salvò senza riportare gravi danni all'organismo (in base a questa esperienza, il cantante scriverà il testo di I Can't Hide, singolo pubblicato nel disco dal vivo Official Live: 101 Proof). Tornato in forma, Anselmo continuò a seguire una serie di progetti paralleli ai Pantera entrando, in veste di chitarrista, in gruppi come Necrophagia, Viking Crown e Southern Isolation (a fianco della sua allora moglie Stephanie Opal) e formò, in veste di cantante, i Superjoint Ritual.

La fine dei Pantera e i Superjoint Ritual

Reinventing the Steel (2000) è l'ultimo lavoro in studio dei Pantera. La band tentò di rifare proprio il ruolo di leader della scena, ma il risultato fu molto al di sotto delle aspettative. Nel 2001 la band si sciolse dopo l'ultimo concerto a Tokyo, anche se venne dichiarato ufficialmente solo nel 2003 dai fratelli Abbott.

Il primo progetto che vide Phil emergere furono i Superjoint Ritual, con i quali Anselmo pubblicò due album, Use Once and Destroy (2002) e A Lethal Dose of American Hatred (2003). Lo stile della band era molto vicino all'hardcore, sebbene la componente metal fosse piuttosto evidente. Le parti di voce sono fondamentalmente urlate e costruite su versi molto veloci. Nel 2002 vide la luce anche il secondo album dei Down, Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow, composto e registrato in due settimane in uno studio approntato in un granaio di proprietà proprio di Anselmo. Lo studio fu battezzato Nodferatu's Lair e, dai quindici giorni di droghe, emerse un disco in cui per la prima volta da anni la voce di Anselmo si dimostrò in forma. Furono infatti presenti le parti urlate tipiche dello stile del cantante ma presentate qui in modo molto più melodico di quanto non siano mai state nei Pantera; sono soprattutto le parti pulite che, grazie al timbro profondo e sofferto di Anselmo, colpiscono in maniera positiva.

Dopo la morte di Dimebag Darrell (ucciso da uno squilibrato fan dei Pantera l'8 dicembre 2004 a Columbus, Ohio, mentre stava suonando in un locale con la sua nuova band, i Damageplan) Phil si dichiarò devastato dalla scomparsa del suo ex compagno di gruppo e si sentì in parte responsabile del suo assassinio: dichiarò in un'intervista, poche settimane prima della tragedia, che Dimebag meritava di essere picchiato selvaggiamente, imputandogli di essere la causa dello scioglimento dei Pantera. La stampa affermò che fu lo stesso Anselmo a decidere di non presentarsi al funerale per rispettare la volontà dei parenti di Dimebag e, in particolare, della sua fidanzata, che gli impedirono di partecipare alla funzione; il cantante dichiarò anche: "Non ho potuto salutarlo come avrei voluto e questo mi uccide. Speravo di poter partecipare al suo funerale, ma ho voluto rispettare le volontà della sua famiglia che non mi voleva lì. Dovevo essere lì, ma capisco perfettamente".

Successivamente disse:

Progetti e apparizioni da solista, reunion dei Pantera con Rex Brown

Poco dopo i funerali del suo ex compagno, Anselmo pubblicò sulla rete un filmato in cui parlava di Darrell, scoppiando in lacrime e affermando che si sarebbe preso una lunga pausa dal mondo della musica. Nel periodo successivo, la vita del cantante divenne particolarmente riservata; ciò che si sa è che riuscì a tagliare definitivamente ogni rapporto con le droghe pesanti e che si sottopose, nel novembre 2005, ad un intervento chirurgico per ricostruire la parte lombare della sua schiena, le cui vertebre erano gravemente danneggiate da anni di vita sul palco. Questa notizia fu fornita direttamente da Anselmo in un'intervista con Revolver Magazine, la prima dalla morte di Dimebag. Nell'intervista Phil rivelò per la prima volta al mondo tutti i problemi che ebbe a causa della sua schiena e che avrebbe dovuto sottoporsi a un intervento fin dal 1996; il dolore, che provava ogni sera sul palco, venne anche indicato come uno dei principali motivi delle sue dipendenze.

Sempre nel 2005 Anselmo è stato una delle migliaia di persone danneggiate dall'uragano Katrina, abbattutosi sull'area di New Orleans. Sebbene non abbia subito alcun lutto, il cantante ha perso la propria casa ed è stato costretto a spostarsi per alcune settimane a Houston. Una volta tornato in città, ha recuperato i propri averi e pagato la cauzione di Mike Williams (cantante degli Eyehategod) che era stato arrestato durante i disordini succeduti all'uragano per possesso di droghe.

Nel marzo del 2006 Phil si unì agli Alice in Chains, orfani di Layne Staley, durante lo speciale televisivo organizzato dal canale VH1 Decades Rock Live! in onore degli Heart e con loro canta due brani: Them Bones e Would?.

Sempre nel 2006 Phil Anselmo è stato in tour con i Down in Europa per la prima volta; tornati in patria, i Down hanno partecipato come supporto al tour degli Heaven & Hell e hanno pubblicato nel 2007 un nuovo album, intitolato Over the Under. Hank Williams III, nipote di Hank Williams e bassista dei Superjoint Ritual, ha confermato invece che questo progetto è al momento da considerarsi concluso. Fonda una propria etichetta discografica, scegliendo il nome Housecore Records, tramite la quale verrà pubblicato il disco d'esordio degli Arson Anthem, in cui Anselmo suona la chitarra.

Dal 2011 al 2014 prese parte all'evento Metal Masters: nel 2011 si unì come ospite al supergruppo formato da Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Frank Bello, David Ellefson, Kerry King (Slayer) e Mike Portnoy per cantare New Level e Fucking Hostile dei Pantera; l'anno seguente comparve nuovamente come ospite per cantare le canzoni dei Pantera e non solo, con l'aggiunta alla formazione di Geezer Butler e Dave Lombardo; nella quarta e nella quinta edizione, tenutesi nel 2013 e nel 2014, Anselmo partecipò come membro ufficiale e canta tutti i brani, da quelle dei Pantera a quelle degli Slayer, degli Anthrax e dei Stormtroopers of Death, affiancato da Kerry King, Dave Lombardo, Charlie Benante, Frank Bello, Scott Ian, Gary Holt, Billy Sheehan, Rex Brown e altri ospiti.

Il 2 aprile 2013 Anselmo annunciò la pubblicazione del suo primo album da solista Walk Through Exits Only, realizzato con il gruppo spalla The Illegals e pubblicato il 16 luglio dello stesso anno tramite la Housecore Records. Il 12 giugno è stato reso disponibile per l'ascolto il brano Bedridden. Segue nel 2018 il secondo album dei Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Choosing Mental Illness as a Virtue, mentre il cantante si mantiene anche attivo su più progetti, tra i quali i Superjoint (riformatisi nel 2014 dopo aver accorciato il loro nome ufficiale), il suo nuovo supergruppo black metal Scour (formato con membri di Pig Destroyer, Cattle Decapitation, Animosity e altre band grindcore e deathgrind, con i quali pubblica tre EP dal 2017 al 2020: Grey, Red, Black) e con i Down, con i quali continua a produrre nuova musica e programma un tour nell'estate 2020, poi ridotto a due sole date in agosto a causa della Pandemia di COVID-19. Nel 2021 tornano con due date sempre negli Stati Uniti, mentre dalla primavera 2022 sono costantemente in tour sia negli Stati Uniti che in Europa per i festival estivi. Nel 2020 forma una band folk rock/blues chiamata En Minor, con membri dei Superjoint e dei Down; il loro primo album, When the Cold Truth Has Worn Its Miserable Welcome Out, esce nel mese di settembre. La maggior parte di queste produzioni vengono pubblicate sotto la Housecore Records, mentre gli Scour vengono messi sotto contratto dalla Nuclear Blast.

Nel giugno 2022 partecipa, con Gary Holt, Chuck Garric, Nick Oliveri e altri artisti, a una reinterpretazione di Ace of Spades dei Motörhead, brano facente parte dell'album tributo Löve Me Förever: A Tribute to Motörhead. Nel luglio dello stesso anno Anselmo ha annunciato la reunion dei Pantera insieme a Rex Brown, intraprendendo una tournée nel corso del 2023.

Peer influence and nonsuicidal self injury: longitudinal results in community and clinically-referred adolescent samples.
Research suggests that adolescents' engagement in nonsuicidal self-injurious (NSSI) behaviors may be increasing over time, yet little is known regarding distal longitudinal factors that may promote engagement in these behaviors. Data from two longitudinal studies are presented to examine whether NSSI may be associated with peer influence processes. Study 1 included 377 adolescents from a community-based sample; Study 2 included 140 clinically-referred adolescents recruited from a psychiatric inpatient facility. In Study 1, adolescents' NSSI was examined at baseline and one year later. Adolescents' nominated best friend reported their own levels of NSSI. In Study 2, adolescents' NSSI was examined at baseline as well as 9 and 18-months post-baseline. Adolescents' perceptions of their friends' engagement in self-injurious behavior (including suicidality) and depressed mood also were examined at all three time points. Baseline depressive symptoms were measured in both studies; gender and age were examined as moderators of peer influence effects. Results from both studies supported longitudinal peer socialization effects of friends' self-injurious behavior on adolescents' own NSSI for girls, but not for boys, even after controlling for depressive symptoms as a predictor. Study 1 suggested socialization effects mostly for younger youth. Results from Study 2 also suggested longitudinal socialization effects, as well as peer selection effects; adolescents' NSSI was associated with increasing perceptions of their friends' engagement in depressive/self-injurious thoughts and behavior. Findings contribute to the nascent literature on longitudinal predictors of NSSI and to work on peer influence.


Owing to the massive rise in population of Hendon in the nineteenth century, it was decided in the 1870s to build a chapel-of-ease to St Mary's.
On New Year's Day 1881 the foundation stone was laid by Baroness Burdett-Coutts, and Christ Church was built to designs by Mr Stephen Salter. The church was consecrated on 29 October 1881 by the Bishop of London.
In 1896 a rood screen dividing the nave and chancel was added by Temple Moore, the architect who was later to extend St Mary's Church. The rood itself (the crucifix flanked by Our Lady and St John) was added in 1932 by Martin Travers.
In 1923 Christ Church became a parish in its own right, and the Revd A C Clifford-Jones was inducted as the first Vicar. Shortly afterwards a church hall was built in The Crest, opposite the church. In the 1940s various additions were made to the furnishings of the church, including an aumbry for the reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.
Christ Church has always been a very sociable church. From the mid-1940s there was a very active Sea Scout Group, as well as a Wolf Cub Pack, and Girl Guides and Brownies. There was a very able boys and men choir, an active Mothers' Union branch, a Young Wives' and Young Mothers' Groups, a Men's Society and, in 1957 the Christ Church Boys' Club was formed. Between 1963 and 1985 Christ Church was also home to the Christ Church Hendon, Drama Group.
In 1967 a new organ was installed, purchased from a redundant church on the Isle of Dogs. This organ was partially rebuilt in 1987, and enlarged in 1990.
In 1986 the Church Hall was sold to raise money for the restoration and re-ordering of the church. The ceiling was repaired, and a partition built to create a new Parish Centre at the west end of the nave, including the provision of kitchen and toilet facilities. The rood screen (but not the rood) was removed, and the choir stalls and organ moved to the south aisle. This allowed for an altar to be placed at the front of the chancel, and a sacristy built in the former sanctuary, partitioned by the reredos.
After an act of vandalism in 1999 the former high altar, which had been used to lay out vestments in the sacristy, was reinstalled, and the chancel was once again opened up, and the Victorian tiling on the east wall exposed for the first time since 1962. The reredos behind the new Lady Chapel altar was created from the panels of the previous altar, depicting the Annunciation of Our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In 2001 the parishes of St Mary and Christ Church were re-amalgamated.

Kerosene explosion claims pregnant woman, son
The Enugu State Police Command has confirmed the death of a pregnant woman and her son after a kerosene explosion in Ngenevu axis of Coal Camp within Enugu metropolis.
The command's spokesman, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, disclosed this in a statement issued to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Enugu.
Amaraizu said that the incident occurred at about 7.30 p.m. on Jan. 30, when a kerosene lantern exploded.
He said that several other family members, who sustained fire burns, have been hospitalised.
"It was gathered that on that fateful day, one Hillary Ugwuoke, also from Ngenevu axis of Coal Camp community had allegedly bought kerosene from a neighbour in the evening.
"He later poured it into his lantern and in the attempt to lit the lantern, the kerosene exploded and went into flames.
"In the process, the said Hillary Ugwuoke, his pregnant wife and his children were burnt by the inferno and sympathisers assisted in their being taken to National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu, for medical assistance.
"It was further gathered that at the hospital, Mrs Ugwuoke, who is said to be pregnant, was confirmed dead together with her four-year-old son.
"While others who sustained severe burns are receiving treatment,'' he said.
Amaraizu said that investigation had begun into the incident. (NAN)
