Big Brother's Big Mouth (Again)
George Galloway is helming the satellite show this week, and he's doing a pretty good job of it. He takes it so bloody seriously, it's hard not to stifle a chuckle as it's like he's roaming the American Senate again. It's almost possible to forget the cat business.
Last night, he had a proper issue to get his teeth into.
It's hard to imagine what's going through the minds of Big Brother bosses at present. Probably some smugly self-congratulatory back-slapping going on over there, given their reaction to the racist language used by ex-housemate, Emily Parr in light of what happened last time. It was very much a run-of-the-mill Big Brother until Emily, brainless bozo that she is, remarked to Charley: 'Are you pushing it out, you nigger?' Now – whether she intended to sound 'street' as Gorgeous George asserted, or whether this language is so commonplace in her social network's lexicon is pretty much irrelevant. I agreed with the general consensus in the studio. It was said to a relative stranger, flippantly, and it caused offence, so damn right she should be removed.
Charley's reaction was fascinating to watch, for all the wrong reasons. Some may have thought she was trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, but they'd be wrong. I think she was genuinely having problems with the fact that the word was supposedly said in jest, yet she couldn't assuage just why it had been said in the first place. She also knew the reaction would be harsh. You can't fault her for panicking a little and discussing it with Nicky to straighten her thoughts out on the issue. She continued to speak to Emily in the aftermath, pursuing her reasons for speaking that way, but also made it clear she wasn't judging her.
For the second time in two series, we've been privy to someone being offended in one of the most base ways imaginable. Without any thought about the actual meaning of the word, Emily allowed the word to 'slip out', she claimed. Without wanting to sound like a teacher, these words shouldn't slip out and they also shouldn't be among the mind's options of words to use in any social situation. Self-censorship shouldn't really have to come into play, in the same way that, whilst observing a friend's young child, the words 'nice arse' wouldn't just 'slip out' under any circumstances.
BBBM dealt with this fairly well, but it's essential that Emily is provided with after-care and advice on how to deal with her situation. After all, the language in this context was not malicious. It was foolhardy, misjudged, misguided and fucking idiotic, but most importantly, offensive. All the same, it was simply that, an act of foolishness which may offend, so I think any tabloid lynching should be put on hold.
All in all, the whole situation only makes the Shilpa Shetty incident earlier in the year seem even more rank. Why wasn't Jade removed from the house? Why is Danielle still tabloid fodder? Their use of language was clearly vindictive but it was allowed to have carried on. At least we're being reminded that Channel 4 haven't been sufficiently punished for their lack of action last time around.
Here's the clip:

10 Week Wankathon
And that's just Carol, the bearded Aunt Flo who hates cock.
Davina was looking nice until she started doing that crouching, gurning Davina thing, and there we were, it's BB as we all know and pretend to despise.
With regard to my blog on yesterday's piqued (clang) the house made more than a passing reference to surrealism, or rather Dali. Yellow Mae West lips sofa and fish rather than lobster telephone. Ironically and tellingly such forced 'weirdness' is negated by an otherworldly collision of style, impracticality and cruelty. I'll even accept the chickens in resin a la Damien Hirst's Away from the Flock was a nice touch. This is the nastiest house yet, bath in the living room, fridge in the garden, cooker in the bedroom and Catholic in the kitchen or something.
In they came, a pair of vacuous blonde twins in minis chewing on lollies, Lolita x 2, Nabokov would pissed out his testis. They're both as sweet as pie, cute, vacuous and wholly evil.
"Let's put the next one in!" bellows Davina as if hysterically announcing the second solid shit she's passed in 6 months.
Lesley, bloke-faced member of the Women's Institute, I reckon she spends a lot of time in meetings showing the ladies of Charwood how to take out the vas deferens just by hearing. She'll get on well with the hairy whale, if she doesn't roundhouse her face off first.
Charley, instant bonk on, fucking fabulous body but with a face that isn't quite as pretty or lascivious as it thinks it is. Imagine the body of a younger Tyra Banks with the head of Snoop Doggy Dogg winking at you. Quids in, gold digger. She seems like trouble but will probably keep her horns in until dick walks in…
Next Tracey, fucking awful multicoloured anachronism from the awful, hideous days of early rave. Looks like Johnny Rotten – she's definitely been abused. Thick as Mr. T with a boner. Awful.
I'm looking forward to seeing Chanelle cry. She's the visual equivalent of downward convergence. Really fucking thick this one, dead posh, but weirdly thinks she's a certain footballer's wife. I'm not even lowering myself to say which one as the cunt would appreciate the recognition and she doesn't deserve any. Fucking fantastic arse though. Freshly dead, I would.
Shalamanom, didn't catch her name, oddly I quite liked this one, first possible contender. She's going to be annoying, yes, but so long as she doesn't turn into a berk, then she's fine by me. Full of beans, I'd like to see just one of them.
By now the women are grouping. In the red corner, screeching totty, in the blue Tragic Tracey and Livid Lesley. She's well unhappy, yeah?
In comes Emily, David Cameron with a fresh young vagina. If that chilled you as much as me, I will say no more. Apart from the fact that if she saw so much as a fibre of a quark of tissue on your lad, she'd disinfect the tyres on her range rover.
Laura I really liked, big fat Welsh girl. Sweet, likeable, funny, eating disorder, one of those fat trendy Beth Ditto types, sort of the perfect media 'anti zero' size. In my opinion she's the clear winner so far, she's marketable out the house and I can predict the rumblings of a media drive to keep her profile sweet. Despite being the size of a chest freezer she's pretty. After 10 pints and a microdot I'd think about it.
Nicky, straight, boring, sad, has 'issues'. She's adopted by the way, little too much information from the producers there, are we meant to be sympathising because she has the personality of public toilet? It's okay though because, according to Davina as she walked into the house, 'If Nicky was an animal she's be a cat so she can lie in the sun all day'. So that's cleared that up then.
Lastly, Carole, the old one. She's been on Greenham Common apparently, I think that may well have been as recently as an hour before she appeared on camera. She's hairier than Oliver Reed and Alan Bates fighting in front of an open fire. Not sure what to make of her, she maternal but aggressive. Outside chance.
So, there you have it, all women so far, 11 of them, that's 22 tits! One moan, the bloke that makes the 'crowd' signs, especially the one for the tool holding the pointy finger sign bearing the slogan 'you ain't seen me, right?'. Pass on your address and I'll send someone round without a conscience.

Seemingly not finding the right deal for them, the Marlins finally pulled the trigger when the Phillies offered catcher Jorge Alfaro, pitching prospects Sixto Sanchez and Will Stewart, and a reported $250,000 in worldwide spending bonus money.
The Philadelphia Phillies made a major move towards contending for a playoff spot on Thursday, acquiring catcher JT Realmuto from the Miami Marlins in exchange for three players and an worldwide bonus slot.
Phillies general manager Matt Klentak had high praise for Realmuto after the acquisition.
In the end, it was the Marlins who stood firm in their desires in a trade, What started out with as many as 12 teams looking to play "Let's Make A Deal" the demand of Major League Baseball players prospects appeared to be too high for one player.
Long, long, long, long trade story short: when Realmuto is finally moved, I expect some other things will shake out relatively soon thereafter.
The Marlins got the deal done six days before their pitchers and catchers report to spring training. Miami, under the new ownership of Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman, created a firestorm of controversy by trading Dee Gordon, Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna and Christian Yelich last offseason. "But our goal is to build a long-term sustainable championship organization".
Even as the Harper and Machado sweepstakes lurch into their fourth months - with numerous usual, big-money suspects (Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs) apparently taking a pass, and the void filled with some dark horses and mystery teams (Chicago White Sox, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants) - much of the industry takes it as an inevitability that the Phillies will walk away with one of them.
The Phillies have been busy this offseason, adding Andrew McCutchen, David Robertson and Jean Segura in addition to Realmuto. The Phillies went 80-82 a year ago and should be much improved in 2019, especially if they can sign either Harper or Machado on the back of their other upgrades. They led their division with the second-best record in the NL one week into August, then went 16-33 over the final 49 games and finished with a losing record (80-82) for the sixth consecutive season. They gave up, arguably, the best catcher in baseball but they are acquiring exacting what a team rebuilding needs to be acquiring: A future ACE! Alfaro, 25, is an adequate starting catcher. He hit.262 with 10 homers in his first full major league season previous year and showed a strong arm, but had 11 errors and 10 passed balls. The lefty posted a 2.09 ERA in 20 starts in single-A last season with a fastball that sits around 93 and three offspeed pitches.
"In Sanchez, we saw a front-of-the-rotation starter".
Realmuto was a first-time All-Star in his fourth season past year.

There will be five former UCF Knights on the team: Antonio Guerad, Chris Martin, Aaron Evans, Jordan McCray, and Rannell Hall. The NFL Network has agreed to broadcast 19 games throughout the entire season, while CBS will air one AAF game per week.
Earlier this week, the footballer's father, Horacio Sala , acknowledged that there was no prospect of finding his son alive. Sala , 28, had just completed a club-record £15million transfer to Cardiff and had not made an appearance for the club.
The track will compete for more Grammys , including song of the year, record of the year and best pop duo/group performance. The 32-year-old entertainer was joined on stage by the song's co-writer Mark Ronson while performing live during the show.
According to CNN , former Trump associate Roger Stone was "one of the last key campaign associates" to be investigated. On Thursday, Democrats on the committee marked up a subpoena for possible use to compel his cooperation.
If the talks do not succeed, Trump has threatened to increase US tariffs on Chinese imports. Mr Lighthizer told reporters last week that it was not certain a deal could be reached.

One whole 24-27 inch northern, cut head off and guts out.
Cook stove top stuffing as the box recommends.
Pack the inside of the Northern with the stuffing.
It is really good with ritz crackers. We usually eat it as an appetizer.
I dreamt about this recipe for a year before I actually tried it since when I do get a little time to get out fishing which is not very often I am either looking for walleye for supper or casting giant lures looking for gators. Finally this winter I caught a couple of 25 inch Northerns through the ice to try this recipe. It's a variation of Chicken Kiev, just with a different meat.
In a bowl mix softened butter, Garlic, Parsley and Pepper.
Lay out northern fillet with the side you took the skin off down.
In the crevice that you removed the y-bones pack the butter mixture in.
Roll up the fillet length wise so you have a long roll.
Cut roll in three pieces and coat each piece in the flour.
Once the pieces are browned evenly they will not be cooked throughout and will need to be placed in a pre heated 350 oven for about 15-20 mins.
Let cool for about 10 mins before you eat.
Heat oil in Dutch oven over moderately low heat. Add garlic, onion and green pepper and cook about 5 min. or until tender. Add mushrooms, tomato paste, clam juice, lemon juice, bay leaf, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook uncovered 20 mins, stirring occasionally. Add fish to tomato mixture and cook 15-20 mins. Until fish flakes easily. Stir in wine just before serving.


The New England Center for Expository Preaching (NECEP) exists to glorify God and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by giving a select number of seminary students, (who seek to become expository preachers) the opportunity to preach the Word of God to "real congregations" weekly.
While testing their expository preaching skills, thes interns are introduced to New England. God willing, this will create a hunger for Word of God in some hearts, spark repentance in others, while promoting revitalization in congregations, and confidence to proclaim the Word of God boldly in those who participate.
The selected interns are also given opportunity to discuss and use various pastoral skills, since the best pastors have a blend of expository preaching and pastoral skills.
As this is occuring, NECEP assists the (often bi-vocational) pastors of New England, by providing a events led by well known theologians, to feed the men who are feeding the Word of God to their congregation. Thus, NECEP is sending interns into the fields of New England throughout the year, then gathering those interns plus the pastors and church leaders together for more in depth study.
Finally NECEP desires to be used by God to assist those who desire to come back to pastor churches in New England. The Board of Directors and support staff pray for an army of expositors, so that the next generation of New Englanders will hear the Word of God proclaimed in context.

A lack of rules and the tendency of scribes to spell according to the sound of the word plagued medieval spelling. Not surprisingly, an enormous number of spelling variations appeared. Haltermen has been written Elder, Elders, Eldar, MacNoravaich and others.
More information is included under the topic Early Haltermen Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the Haltermen family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Many Scots crossed the Atlantic for North America hoping to escape poverty, as well as persecution. Much of their heritage was lost along the way and overtime. This century, however, Clan societies and highland games have allowed many ancestral Scots to recover their birthright. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Haltermen arrived in North America very early: James Elder who settled in New Hampshire in 1718; along with Thomas, followed by David, Isaac, John, Robert, Samuel, and Thomas; but perhaps the most famous of the settlers was the Reverend John Elder who formed and was Captain of the Paxtang Rangers, known as the Paxtang Boys in 1753.

Cesar Odio was at his office at Miami City Hall one morning in late April 1980 when his desk phone rang.
A top federal immigration official was on the line asking Odio's help in locating a big enough place to hold dozens of Cuban refugees who had just arrived in Key West aboard a crowded boat.
It was one of the first boats laden with refugees boarding vessels in large numbers from the Cuban port of Mariel, 20 miles west of Havana.
It was also the beginning of the Mariel boatlift, which brought more than 125,000 Cuban refugees to U.S. shores between April and September 1980.
Thirty years after the biggest refugee exodus from Cuba, local officials who played key roles in the crisis recalled the historic events in interviews with El Nuevo Herald.
While many local officials and private citizens were involved in handling the refugee flood, only a handful came to be widely associated with the boatlift mainly because media attention then fell on them as veritable first responders to the unfolding crisis.
They are people like Odio, then an assistant city manager; Maurice Ferre, then Mayor of Miami; Merrett Stierheim, then Dade County manager and Sergio Pereira, an assistant county manager.
Private citizens whose names remain linked to the exodus include Lula Rodríguez, sister-in-law of then Hialeah mayor Raúl Martínez, who worked as a volunteer in the refugee processing camps, and Siro del Castillo, a human rights activist who helped Mariel refugees at the Krome detention center.
For all, Mariel was an unforgettable experience.
"It simply changed my life, " said Rodríguez, now doing consulting work on corporate communications in Miami.
She says that the plight of many Mariel refugees remains seared in her memory and that the exodus made her realize just how terrible the Castro regime was.
"I saw people who were taken from mental hospitals, " Rodríguez recalled in a recent interview. "Many of them were dazed. They asked questions like 'when is the doctor going to see me?' They were not even aware that they were in another country. That's when I realized the monstrosity of Fidel Castro."
Raul Castro announces his brother's death on Cuban television, ending with the phrase "Hasta la victoria, siempre," or "Ever on to victory."
While many top South Florida officials came to deal with Mariel, Odio is perhaps the one whose name is more closely linked to the event.
That's because he ran the Orange Bowl refugee shelter and the tent city under Interstate 95. To this day, thousands of Mariel refugees recognize Odio on the street and stop to thank him for his help.
When Odio talked to El Nuevo Herald recently at La Carreta restaurant in Key Biscayne, the waiter who took the order remembered Odio from the time he arrived in Miami as a Mariel refugee himself.
At the time, Odio was a young official, recently hired as assistant city manager during Ferre's administration. Odio had been in that position for four months when Mariel erupted.
It was his baptism by fire.
The boatlift exploded in Odio's life during one morning in late April 1980 when the first wave of boats began unloading refugees at Key West.
The federal immigration official who called Odio was desperate to find out where the refugees could be held while they awaited processing for formal admission into the United States.
"The call came just before lunch, " Odio recalled. "Immigration called and said 'we have a problem.' "
Odio said the immigration official told him that many Cuban refugees were coming aboard boats and that authorities did not have a big enough space to hold them. He advised that they be taken to the Manuel Artime Community Center in Little Havana, named after the civilian leader of the ill-fated 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion.
"I picked that place because it was in Little Havana and the refugees were Cuban and their relatives probably lived nearby, " Odio explained. "I went there to receive the refugees and from that moment my life changed. I worked literally 24 hours a day on the issue."
'CRIMINALS, CRAZIES'
When Odio arrived at Artime, a crowd had gathered outside -- mostly relatives of the arriving refugees. The large number of relatives calmed his fears that the refugee wave would swamp city resources.
But Odio's initial optimism faded when he saw some of the passengers on the first boats.
"It was an example of what Fidel Castro was sending us, " Odio said. "Criminals and crazies, who had no families here. I began to worry."
As more boats arrived, Artime was swamped.
"We immediately started looking for another place, " Odio said.
He and his county counterpart, Pereira, got together and Pereira moved the refugees to the grounds of the Dade County Youth Fair in west Miami-Dade.
"We responded admirably despite having a 10 percent increase in the population in just 31 days, " Pereira recalled.
Ferre, then Miami's mayor, telephoned the White House and asked for an appointment with then-President Jimmy Carter.
Ferre was told Vice President Walter Mondale would receive him.
The next morning, Ferre was on a plane to the nation's capital.
"I sat for over an hour waiting for the vice president who was meeting with senior officials on Mariel in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, " Ferre said.
When the meeting broke up, Mondale approached Ferre and told him a National Security Council aide would see him instead.
"My question to federal officials was 'what are you guys going to do?' " Ferre recalled.
U.S. officials told Ferre they were prepared to stop the exodus by preventing exiles from leaving Florida for Mariel to pick up relatives.
Ferre said he urged federal officials to use caution, and argued in favor of admitting the Mariel refugees.
"I said 'you have to be very careful, ' " Ferre said. "And I also said, 'I think you ought to let these people in.' "
'UNPREPARED'
Meanwhile, back in Miami, local officials were growing alarmed because the Carter Administration did not seem to be reacting forcefully.
"The federal government was totally unprepared, " Stierheim said recently. "As a result, local governments really had to step in and relieve the problem."
While Stierheim remains upset about the federal response, he praised the reaction of the Cuban exiles. "The community showered us with tons of donations in supplies for the arriving refugees, " he said.
Though the days of the boatlift were "very dark indeed, " in the end "our county emerged stronger from the experience."
Stierheim and Ferre said Miami and Miami-Dade County worked closely together to deal with the exodus. Both remembered setting up a city-county executive crisis committee on which various officials worked together to respond to the exodus.
"We met periodically to assess the situation and needs, " Stierheim said.
Local officials received substantial help from Cuban exiles, particularly young Cuban-Americans eager to welcome the refugees.
Among the young volunteers was Rodríguez, a University of Miami sociology student who later became a senior State Department official under former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Rodríguez served at some of the main refugee processing sites including Opa-locka Airport and Krome.
At Opa-locka, she was assigned to interview arriving refugees and gather basic information from them.
She had a lot of empathy toward the arriving refugees because she herself had fled Cuba with her sister and brother under the Pedro Pan program that brought 14,048 unaccompanied Cuban children to the U.S. mainland 50 years ago.
She was also hoping to see her mother, who had stayed behind in Cuba, among the arrivals. She never did. Her mother died in Cuba last year.
Her most memorable moment came when a young boy sneezed as she interviewed him and his relatives.
"I said 'Jesús, ' to the boy, which in Cuba meant 'bless you' after someone sneezes, and the boy turned to me and said, all serious, 'My name is not Jesús, it's Carlos, ' " Rodríguez recalled. "Then the mother reminded him about how back in Cuba they used to kneel and pray at night and he was not supposed to talk about it.
"That stayed with me because it shed light on the oppression and fear people in Cuba suffered under the regime."
After Opa-locka, Rodríguez went to work for the Public Health Service, which established a clinic to check arriving refugees. By the time the exodus wound down, Rodríguez had become director of the PHS clinic at Krome.
A closed Cold War missile basis, Krome was reopened as a processing and detention center as Mariel unfolded. Siro del Castillo became Krome camp commander at some point working for the State Department and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"After 30 years, the legacy of Mariel is everywhere in the Cuban community in the United States in all fields, economic, cultural, social, " Del Castillo said recently.
"Also, today there is no more talk of the "Marielitos" as a separate and distinct class of Cuban refugees. Today they are assimilated into society, like all immigrant groups in the past. They are doctors, engineers, nurses, teachers, fully integrated."
As more and more refugees arrived, it became obvious that a big place was needed to hold them.
On May 2, the Orange Bowl stadium opened as a temporary refugee shelter. Refugees housed there were bused in from Key West and then to Opa-locka Airport where immigration officials formally processed them, releasing those who had relatives.
By then it was clear the exodus was unstoppable, that it was going to continue for weeks or months. It went on until Sept. 26, when the boatlift officially ended.
In July, Miami began emptying the Orange Bowl of refugees. The city formally shut down the stadium as a refugee shelter on Aug. 10 to make way for football season.
Many of the refugees were then relocated to the tent city under I-95, where Odio became a fixture in media interviews.
Odio said the I-95 tent city was a deliberate effort to send a message to the rest of the nation that Miami needed help.
The site opened on July 29, days before the Orange Bowl was vacated.
Eventually, unsponsored refugees were taken to other sites, including Krome, as well as military bases and prisons elsewhere in the country.
Mariel was traumatic for South Florida, Odio said -- but it also prepared the community to deal more efficiently with future crises, including the rafter exodus of 1994.
On balance, Odio and other former officials said, Miami and Miami-Dade benefited from Mariel because the majority of the refugees went on to become successful citizens.
"Mariel was very bad in the beginning, but it was very good in the end, " Ferre summed up. "The vast majority of these people were honest, decent, hard working, industrious people . . . who are now doctors, bankers, entrepreneurs and who really uplifted the community."

Close-up of the ectoplasm mist.
"This picture was taken in September 2000 whilst on a weekend holiday in Amsterdam. The weather was nice and there was not many people around at the time. It was taken with a 35mm camera. The picture is of a nice building in front of the market square at night. There wasn't anyone near me when the picture was taken and the mist that appears in the picture was not evident until it was developed. No other picture on the film had the same effect. It may sound strange, but it looks to me like something out of a fairy tale...a genie coming out of the building. It looks like it has a pot belly and flowing tail. I thought it was very interesting. I have been told it looks like a wolf, although I cannot see this myself."

Chocolate Peanut Butter Epipen and a menu of pimped out cones.
In July, I was asked to predict the next food trend. I blurted out 'soft serve', and now I wish I had money on it. Just two months later, soft serve and espresso bar "Sweet Jesus" opened in Toronto on John St., north of King West. Their opening coincided with the beginning of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, which is how I (and hordes of film-goers pouring out of the TIFF Bell Lightbox) ended up there.
It's a good thing that TIFF fans are experts at lining up, because that is what you have to do most evenings at Sweet Jesus. The menu is deceptively simple: soft serve, espresso, churros and Mexican paletas (popsicles). But it is the soft serve which has the starring role. Four flavours are available for purists (chocolate, vanilla, raspberry lemonade and burnt marshmallow), but the pimped out cones are the big draw.
Sweet Jesus will dress up your cone six ways to Sunday – well, actually eleven ways. On this occasion, I opted for my favourite combination of flavours – chocolate and nut – which is frighteningly named, "Chocolate Peanut Butter Epipen".
My new friends in the lineup, Evelyn and Caitlin, ordered the Lemon Coconut Cream Pie (left) and the Skor and Ritz Pie (right).
Had I known that our cones would all be identically beige, I would have ordered differently. We unanimously agreed that our cones were big enough to be shared, although I cannot promise that a bowl and spoon is an option. I notice Instagrammers posting recent photos of a drip catcher, which seems useful, but was not offered on the evening of my visit.
The little alcove on John Street which houses Sweet Jesus has recently welcomed the third incarnation of La Carnita and the second location of Union Juice, making this a very popular place to meet up en route to and from events in the festival district. There is a nice little square for hanging out, too.
My next prediction? Specialty churros and Mexican hot chocolate to help us make it through the colder weather around the corner.
Tuesday to Saturday: Espresso 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Soft serve 12 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Sunday and Monday: Espresso 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Soft serve 12 p.m. – 10 p.m.
As long as temperatures hover above 25 degrees C in downtown Toronto, popular patios have one thing in common – ice cream. Its purveyors know that the pleasure each scoop brings is due only in part to the perfectly addictive combination of cream, sugar and egg; the greater pleasure comes from something even more elusive. Ice cream evokes a simpler time, and like our own childhood, its qualities can be sublime, but ephemeral.
My first recollection of the hard work required to produce what Guelph University food scientist Doug Goff calls a "frozen foam" is of taking my turn at an ice-cream churn during summers at the cottage. And while our own White Mountain churn dates from the 1930s, that company's feat of domestic engineering has remained relatively unchanged since the company began production in 1853.
The base custard recipe becomes a "foam" with the aid of two sets of interior paddles that rotate in opposite directions inside the metal chamber, while the outer bucket contains a brine of salt and ice capable of dropping to a chilly -18 degrees C. The watery brine makes contact with the entire exterior of the metal chamber, causing the custard to increase in volume, and to freeze. Therein lies the key to a soft, creamy frozen dessert: if the foam is not kept in motion, its crystals grow large and disappointingly crunchy. Keeping the paddles moving through the rapidly freezing mixture keeps the crystals tiny and undetectable on the palate.
For over three decades, Torontonians have heralded summer by lining up at the door of Greg's Ice Cream on Bloor. According to Greg's employee Katherine, the shop uses natural ingredients and traditional methods to churn their ice cream. On any sunny day or balmy evening, the faithful can be seen rescuing each drip of the most popular flavour, roasted marshmallow, afraid of losing what they have waited for after a long Canadian winter. Some of us take our ice cream home and put it in the freezer, only to discover that like childhood, its moment has passed – foam collapsed, crystals formed.

World Bank: More than $ 30 million in aid to Iraq to tackle the Corona pandemic
[Baghdad-Ain]
The World Bank announced today, Wednesday, the allocation of more than 30 million dollars to help Iraq in facing the Corona epidemic, indicating that this assistance will be in two phases, while the epidemic is expected to affect "poor and vulnerable families" in particular.
In response to the Corona Virus (Covid-19) outbreak in Iraq, he said in a statement seen by the All Iraq News Agency that he had recently agreed to reallocate $ 33.6 million as part of the emergency operations project for ongoing development ($ 750 million) to support Efforts of the Ministry of Health in the prevention, detection and response to the COVID-19 epidemic.
"This rapid and emergency response comes in two phases," the World Bank added, explaining that "it initially provided $ 7.8 million in available resources under the Emergency Operations for Development project to help fund the supply of basic medical equipment and supplies and enhance the capacity of the ICU ( ICU) in public hospitals to improve management of cases infected with COVID-19 ".
He continued, "Through cooperation with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), health centers in Iraq will be given artificial respirators, beds for intensive care units and portable X-ray machines in addition to ECGs within four to eight weeks."
In a later step, the World Bank made clear in its statement that it "approved the request of the Government of Iraq to reallocate an additional $ 25.8 million in the framework of the project itself to provide additional quantities of medical equipment and supplies and support the training of health workers on the front lines in their use," noting "The expedited procurement procedures will ensure that UNOPS delivers timely medical supplies to the Ministry of Health."
Commenting on this, Saroj Kumar Jah, Regional Director of the Mashreq Department at the World Bank, said: "The epidemic is expected to affect poor and especially vulnerable families, expressing its willingness" to support Iraq's efforts to contain the rapid spread of the virus and enhance the ability of the Ministry of Health to absorb the additional pressure it creates. The epidemic on the Iraqi health system. "
The bank emphasized that" the process of reallocating resources will not affect the activities mainly monitored within the framework of the emergency operations project for development which aims to support Iraq in rebuilding the damaged infrastructure and re-providing public services in the targeted municipalities. "
And he stated that "relying on the World Bank's procurement and financial management procedures to supply goods, works and consulting services within the project, more than 3 million people in five governorates liberated from ISIS are already benefiting from better health services by rehabilitating damaged clinics and equipping 14 mobile clinics 82 ambulances, and they benefit from 35% of reconnections to the electrical network and improvement in key municipal services by providing clean drinking water and waste collection plans, and restoring mobility by rebuilding 400 km of roads and 25 critical bridges ً. The project also contributes to promoting confidence-building and reconciliation between the state and the citizen by training 79 non-governmental organizations and more than 1,000 young men and women in peaceful dialogue and reconciliation in their societies. "It
should be noted that the Emergency Operations for Development project was originally approved in July 2015 With an amount of US $ 350 million, then additional project financing of US $ 400 million was approved later in October-October 2017 to allow the expansion of the geographical scope of the current project activities to additional cities liberated from ISIS.

The 14 Most Amazing World Championship Blunders
GM Gserper
Nov 23, 2014, 12:05 PM |
28 | Tactics
Magnus Carlsen won the 2014 world championship match in game 11 today to defend his title.
But the sixth game of the Carlsen-Anand match made waves around the world.
Some chess journalists rushed to christen the astonishing mutual mistake of these two great players "the biggest blunder ever made in the world championships."
But is it true? I tried to remember all the notorious blunders that happen in the world championship games, and in my opinion the sixth game of the 2014 championship barely makes the Top 10.
photo by Mike Klein.
Here I am going to share my list of top 14 blunders, but please remember that it is not a scientific research, and your list of top blunders could be totally different.
I used two major criteria to distiguish a blunder from just a big mistake:
1. The refutation of a blunder should be simple. If in order to prove that a blunder is indeed a blunder you need to calculate a 10-move long variation, then it is not a blunder in my book. It is just a miscalculation.
2. The resulting position of a blunder should be a clear-cut. In other words, if you show the whole sequence of moves after the blunder to a really low-rated chess player and he has no clue why you call it a blunder, then it is not a blunder!
Let's take for example the following famous game. Try to find the best continuation for White:
Was it easy for you? If yes, than you did much better than the world champion, Anatoly Karpov.
As you could see, Karpov missed a forced way to win the game and the whole match! Had he found the correct sequence of moves, chess history would have been totally different.
But to me this game doesn't meet the criteria #1 to be called a blunder, so I call it a miscalculation. A big miscalculation with enormous consequences, but still just a miscalculation.
Now let's take a look at another game from the clash of the same titans:
The evaluation of the final position is absolutely obvious for...Kasparov. But many club players might still call the position unclear. Karpov missed this variation as well and played 39...Kg6?! after which "Black's win is not that obvious," according to Kasparov. Here is how the game ended:
As you could see, White's gross mistake changed the evaluation of the position from White is winning to Black is winning. But since my criteria #2 wasn't met, to me it is not a blunder, just a miscalculation!
Now, without further ado, let me present my top 14 world championship blunders!
Spassky via wikipedia
Surprisingly, the great technician Tigran Petrosian didn't convert his material advantage and the game was eventually drawn!
If in the previous game Petrosian couldn't convert an extra exchange, here the whole rook was not enough for the world champion to win the game!
Just an amazing comedy of errors!
Check back next week for more of the top 14 world championship blunders.

Louisa Nolan from @DataSciCampus has blogged for us ahead of our data webinar with examples of the exciting possibilities out there coming from new types of data and new analytical tools. Join us on the 16th to find out more about Why using data effectively enables better decision making.
Data is exciting, and these days, we can extract interesting information not just from tables of survey results or management information (although these are still of course important) but also from large volumes of documents, or from images, or sensor readings. Data science gives us the tools to rapidly analyse these types of data, in ways that would not have been possible even just a few years ago. It is this combination of opportunities: new types of data + new tools to analyse them that is so exciting, because it opens a whole new world of insight!
As a lead data scientist at the Data Science Campus of the Office for National Statistics I get to think about data every day (this is a Good Thing!). We develop and deliver data science projects addressing difficult questions for our public sector customers, we offer advice and training on data science, and we run deep dives, hackathons and workshops with multi-disciplined teams to find solutions to data challenges.
In this blog, I'd like to share a few examples of how we have been using new types of data and applying data science techniques to tackle challenges that aren't met by more traditional approaches. This is just a selection, so please visit our website, follow us on Twitter, or get in touch if you would like to discuss how we could support you to adopt or adapt these projects, or if you would like to discuss your own data science challenges.
What are people talking about when they talk about Wales on Twitter? We were posed this question by the National Assembly for Wales, who wanted to understand what people were interested in when they talk about Wales. Our data scientists built a tool for topic analysis of the text of tweets containing #Wales. Topic analysis is a technique which groups text – in this case Tweets – into related subjects. For the period we analysed, we found topics on tourism, sport – including rugby, of course, a business exposition in Cardiff, and, somewhat unexpectedly, a topic on Indian street children! This topic was related to the book 'A Hundred Hands', published that week by Diane Noble, a Welsh author. The tool can be easily adapted to analyse other hashtags of interest.
Mapping the urban forest at street level Using images sampled from Google StreetView, the team has developed an experimental method to map the density of trees and vegetation at 10 metre intervals in English and Welsh towns and cities – this is hyper-local mapping! The team have built a pipeline for processing and analysing the images, which could potentially be used for other types of analysis of StreetView images.
Analysing the text of patent applications to understand emerging technologies. In this project, large volumes US patent applications have been analysed, to explore whether emerging technology (aka 'the Next Big Thing!) can be identified from the text. This is a great demonstration of how the power of data science can unlock data. Even 5 years ago, text documents like these patent applications would likely have had to be analysed laboriously by hand. Now, we can rapidly analyse large quantities of text to extract useful information to inform decision-making.
Turning free text lists into hierarchical groups. Sometimes, we have short, free text descriptions or lists – perhaps a list of products purchased or transported. To make use of these, we need to somehow group them into similar products, account for spelling mistakes, typos and different abbreviations. This is theoretically possible by hand, but usually prohibitively labour-intensive. This project automates the hierarchical classification. Because the approach is both syntactic (how the word is spelled) and semantic (what the word means), we can group, for example, whisky and vodka together, and correctly assign steel products, steel prod, and steel produtc to the same category. This tool could be adapted for various datasets of free text responses.
I hope that has given you a taster of some of the things we are working on in the Campus, and maybe some ideas or what you might be able to do with your own data. And I hope I have also convinced you that data doesn't have to be boring!

Monday 27 November 2017 Transcript
Topics: Queensland state election; Same-sex marriage; Bennelong by-election.
Kieran Gilbert: I spoke to the Education Minister Simon Birmingham and began by suggesting to him that given the size of the swing against the LNP that the PM will cop some of the flack.
Simon Birmingham: Well Kieran, there are lessons to learn out of all number of election campaigns. Now, this was an election campaign fought on Queensland issues, so of course that's the focus of it, but you always have a look at other ramifications from election campaigns. And we have to make sure that in terms of our campaign preparedness and strategies, that they are up to the task of dealing with an electorate that continues to in some ways turn against major parties. This is not just an issue that our side of politics faces. You've seen that Labor's vote has dropped in quite a number of places across Queensland as well. That's consistent with a long trend in terms of the Labor vote dropping and dropping steadily in expense of the Greens or at the expense of One Nation.
Kieran Gilbert: But George Christensen, your Coalition colleague, he blames Malcolm Turnbull's leadership; that's what he did in a Facebook post yesterday.
Simon Birmingham: Well that's ridiculous. Of course it was a state election, fought as we said on state issues and you acknowledged that before. What we're seeing at a federal level is Malcolm Turnbull getting on with the job of providing record jobs growth, providing reforms that can help people in easing the cost of living, opening up access to export markets to continue to grow the Australian economy. Now, all of those things are messages that George Christensen and all the other members of the Liberal and National parties need to go out and sell hard in their electorates and make sure that people understand the benefits that we are delivering and the risks that come, not just from a Shorten-Labor Government, but from voting for minor parties like One Nation as well; the risk to exporters in being able to access their export markets. We have to make sure that people understand. Flirting with parties like One Nation doesn't just – as has happened in WA and Queensland – get you a Labor Government, but it is also a threat to your economy, to exports, to jobs.
Kieran Gilbert: Can you understand why Christensen is nervous though? Even though One Nation had a bit of a fizzer of an election in terms of, I think maybe winning one seat at best at the moment is the projection, possibly two at an outside chance – but 14 per cent state-wide vote and importantly in a couple of seats around like his seat up near Mackay, they're polling much, much more than that.
Simon Birmingham: So this goes to the question of how do you fight back against that leakage of votes to minor parties and to One Nation in particular? And you don't do it by trying to become One Nation light, you do it by taking the fight up to them in terms of explaining to the electorate the benefits of open markets, the benefits of trade, the benefits that will accrue to those communities because we're increasing exports and generating more jobs, the risks to them if we actually get pushed into becoming a closed shop economy; that of course people will find their standard of living will drop, their opportunities will drop …
Kieran Gilbert: Is it also about differentiating between the Nationals and the Liberals? Was the LNP merger a mistake for example? So you can't give the Nationals like Christensen a point of difference to the southeast Liberals?
Simon Birmingham: Well I come from a state that's basically never had a functional National Party so …
Kieran Gilbert: But you observe politics.
Simon Birmingham: … so I don't pretend to be an expert on the National Party and the differential that occurs there. That's really a matter for the Queenslanders as to whether the LNP structure is the right structure. Of course federally we still very clearly have a Coalition of the Liberal Party and the National parties. Even from Queensland, Liberal Party MPs and senators and National Party MPs and senators. They bring different things to our party-room in terms of their perspective. It's what makes us a broad church. And that broad church is important to the success of the Coalition in ensuring that ultimately we are delivering jobs, opportunities, standard of living, economic growth, and things that Australians care about.
Kieran Gilbert: And Matt Canavan says – the Minister, your Cabinet colleague, Nationals Minister – he says that they will be campaigning very strongly as Nationals and differentiating themselves from the Liberal Party in any subsequent election federally. You'd welcome that and encourage them to differentiate themselves?
Simon Birmingham: Well we've always run Liberal Party campaigns and National Party campaigns, with a shared, of course, mission and policy focus and that policy focus has a really strong legacy from this government to be able to run on at the next election. And we have to make sure that we're not distracted by the likes of One Nation, but that we focus on our game, and our game is to get out there and make sure people understand; 370,000 jobs in the last 12 months alone. Real reforms passed through the Parliament to deal with cost of living pressures like child care.
Kieran Gilbert: But they want bank inquiries and that sort of thing. We're not saying …
Simon Birmingham: Real action on banks, not just talking about banks but action.
Kieran Gilbert: … Barry O'Sullivan this week's going to move a commission of inquiry, private members bill. Obviously he believes he was emboldened by looking at the way that Dean Smith acted on the same-sex marriage legislation, so he wants to do this on his own – a bank inquiry – and looks like he could well have the numbers in the lower house as well via George Christensen and other Nationals. Would that be devastating for the Government if there were to be an inquiry authorised without Liberal Party support?
Simon Birmingham: No, it wouldn't be devastating, Kieran. I mean in the end inquiries can happen and inquiries might occur in a talkfest kind of way they …
Kieran Gilbert: Cost millions of dollars as well.
Simon Birmingham: Indeed and they've been the arguments against it. Whilst, at the same time, what we've done is strengthen the powers of the regulator, strengthen funding to the regulator, put in place …
Kieran Gilbert: [Talks over] But if there's a split in the Coalition, that'd be ugly, wouldn't it?
Simon Birmingham: … put in place clear penalties in relation to the way in which banking executives can be tackled and targeted …
Kieran Gilbert: [Interrupts] Sure, but the Nats don't like that. They're not accepting that as sufficient.
Simon Birmingham: I think the Nats do like that.
Kieran Gilbert: Well, a large number of them don't think you've gone far enough. So if there's a split in the Coalition, that is ugly.
Simon Birmingham: Well I'm not clear what they want aside from an inquiry in some of those cases. An inquiry, as I say, costs a lot of money, generates a lot of talk, great for the lawyers. What we've done is deliver action in those areas. Now, ultimately you asked the question of the impact. Look, Coalition governments over the years – John Howard's Government – had members crossing the floor on different issues at different times; that is part of the genesis of Liberal and National parties that unlike the Labor Party, we don't go out and expel people who have a difference of opinion, we accommodate them. That's what makes us a broad church.
Kieran Gilbert: But it could well happen. You have to prepare for that, don't you, in terms of seeing a commission of inquiry authorised by the Nationals and crossbench.
Simon Birmingham: The Howard Government, the Fraser Government, the Menzies Government, the Holt Government, the Gorton Government; they all had members who crossed the floor, it's not an unusual proposition in the Liberal and National parties, it's happened under every government that a Liberal and National Party leader has overseen. We want to keep a focus on the type of action that is actually being applied to deal with banks. But, if people want to have an inquiry, that's their viewpoint. I disagree. I think it would be a lawyer's picnic.
Kieran Gilbert: On the same-sex marriage legislation and the private members bill from Dean Smith; are you open to greater religious protections in terms of religious freedom in this bill? Because it looks a number of your colleagues – Zed Seselja, Michael Sukkar, Angus Taylor among them – who believe you as a Coalition Government have to provide greater protections, because that's what was promise by Tim Wilson, Dean Smith and others.
Simon Birmingham: Well as the Senate starts debate or recommences debate again this week, let's start by remembering a few things: 62 per cent of Australians voted yes for marriage equality. They did so with the most exposed and discussed bill out there at the time being the Dean Smith bill, which is the basis of debate at present. Liberal seats voted most strongly for marriage equality; more strongly than Labor seats. So we have a strong basis to say as a Liberal Party: we must get on and deliver this and deliver it in a timely manner. Now I've said all along, I'm open to contemplating other amendments, but they must not be amendments that extend new forms or create new forms of discrimination. Religious protection and religious freedoms are important. I don't believe that there is a significant threat, or indeed any real threat, to religious protection and freedoms out of the Dean Smith bill, but I'll look at amendments and …
Kieran Gilbert: Are you worried that some members of your party and others in the Parliament want to just delay this beyond the next few weeks?
Simon Birmingham: Well there's no delay. There will be no delaying. The Senate has passed a procedural motion that says it will be dealt with this week. If it's not dealt with by close of business on Thursday, we keep sitting and we keep going. And if we're going into the weekend, if we're going into next week, well that's what will happen to get the matter dealt with. Because the Australian people not only want us to act on their will, they also want the issue over and done with.
Kieran Gilbert: Yeah, I think that's 100 per cent right. But there are a number of your colleagues – both in the Senate and the lower house – who won't accept anything short of clear amendments, including on parent's rights to pull kids out of classes they're not happy with. Would you countenance that?
Simon Birmingham: Look, I will consider any amendment that's put forward, but I won't consider amendments that put us in a position where we are creating new forms of discrimination. I won't support those. I'll consider every amendment on its merits, but I won't be supporting those that extend new forms of discrimination. Yes, the Government believes and I believe that parents ought to be empowered with knowledge and choice when it comes to their child's education. But again, we have the recognise the limits of federal power in this regard, that the states and territories have constitutional priority in relation to management of our education and school system. And as a federalist, I don't want to trample over those rights either. So again, I'll look at an amendment, consider it on its merits.
Kieran Gilbert: Minister, finally the Bennelong by-election now looming is a key test for the Government, a marginal seat and a key test for Malcolm Turnbull. You're really not pulling any punches when it comes to Kristina Keneally, accusing her of opening the door to people smugglers. Is he getting a bit desperate?
Simon Birmingham: Well Kristina Keneally's the desperate one. She's out there lying about Medicare wait times, reminiscent of course of the last federal campaign where Bill Shorten went out writing a week's worth of lies about Medicare in the run up to polling day. Clearly they thought that strategy worked pretty well and so they're running a second medi-scare campaign. The Bennelong election will of course be one where we have to get out and sell our messages, but it also a choice between a hardworking local candidate in John Alexander – who has connected well with his electorate and championed well for his electorate – and Kristina Keneally, where you really get the sense that it's always all about Kristina and never actually about the local community who is electing a local member of Parliament.
Kieran Gilbert: Minister, appreciate your time. Thanks.
Simon Birmingham: Thank you.

Manchester United's New Boss Cut His Teeth On Football Management Games
Photo: Catherine Ivill (Getty)
Caretaker Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær has had an incredible run since taking over from Jose Mourinho, which has been a bit of a surprise considering how dreadful United had been until the switch, and how Solskjær's last Premier League experience had been relegation with Cardiff City.
He's had success managing in his native Norway, of course, but still I don't think many people outside of the most feverish United fans could have seen this coming. Of course it helps that Solskjær has at his disposal one of the most expensive squads in world football (including the $120,000,000 Paul Pogba), but maybe we can chalk a bit of it down to his lifelong obsession with managerial football simulations.
This 2013 Dagbladet interview with Solskjær—while he was manager at Norwegian club Molde, which is still technically his job since he's only caretaker at United (at the moment, anyway)—has been dug up recently in light of his Manchester move, and it's amazing.
We're used to modern footballers being obsessed with FIFA, and of Football Manager popping up in scouting folklore, but Solskjær's love for managerial games is on another level, having begun on the Commodore 64 when he was a kid, and progressing through to a Championship Manager (whose dev team left and continued their work elsewhere as the Football Manager series we know today) obsession while he was a player at United through the 90s and 2000s.
At 45, he's one of the youngest managers of a top European club, young enough to have been one of the first to have grown up playing video games. And they had a very specific impact: in the interview, Solskjær recounts how one of Football Manager's hallmarks—discovering raw talent—left a mark on him, and impressed the need to give young players a change in his actual managerial positions.
The interview's very cool to watch in light of recent events, not just to hear his thoughts on ancient video games and their impact on him, but to see him sit down with a contemporary version of Football Manager and start flexing his actual managerial muscles in the game.

Salsa Macha's Big Moment to Crunch
By: Scott Hocker Photos: Aaron Bernstein
Mexico's fiery condiment for empanadas and tostadas is right at home in sandwiches, soups, and definitely pizza.
Fatty. Punchy. Easy to access. Simple to pronounce. Salsa macha was fated to make a splash in the United States.
Here, we like our Mexican food brash and unsubtle. Cheese blankets everything in Tex-Mex cuisine, while cheese, in general, is used judiciously in Mexico. Guacamole is shoveled into American maws by the fistful in the States; in Mexico, guacamole is a quiet garnish, or it's thinned with tomatillos to make a sauce. Salsa macha, a slick mixture of oil, dried chiles, and seeds or nuts, sidled up next to a combo platter and an order of chips and guac during the last few years and screamed, "Hey, I'm the new life of the party, pals!"
In a high-octane instant, salsa macha was welcomed into the Mexican American fold, and these days, it can be found on menus from New Orleans to Seattle to Kansas City—and in home kitchens across America. A spoonful or two, and the nut crunch, oily lushness, and chile smolder of salsa macha becomes a taco's glittery new statement necklace.
According to the Diccionario Enciclopédico de la Gastronomía Mexicana, salsa macha was born in the state of Veracruz sometime after the Spanish colonizers began their, well, colonization there during the 16th century in the city of Orizaba. I wanted to know how common salsa macha is in Mexico to better understand how the condiment paved such rapid inroads in the United States, so I asked a Veracruzano, my friend Iván. He told me that he never experienced salsa macha as a kid because neither his mother nor his grandmother made it.
As he got older, he started seeing it paired with empanadas veracruzanas, tostadas, and tomato-based soups in restaurants in Veracruz. When he moved to the neighboring state of Puebla a few years ago, there was no salsa macha in sight. "Then I started seeing it in pizzerias, or as an accompaniment to sandwiches and hot dogs," he recalls. Pizza and sandwiches and hot dogs?
Pati Jinich, the Mexico-born and US-based author and TV host, says that sounds about right. "Once salsa macha started picking up in popularity in the United States, it got bigger in Mexico," she says. "Trends around Mexican food sometimes accelerate in Mexico after they happen in the States." The border between the two inextricable countries is ever-fluid.
Jinich is a fan of the classic style of salsa macha, but she also notes that the variations—and possibilities—are boundless. Peanuts are standard in Veracruz, but she says that most any nut could work. Smoky chipotles are common in Veracruz's take on salsa macha as well; while ancho chiles are employed in versions now made in central Mexico. Olive oil, a result of Veracruz's deep port ties to its Spanish colonizers, is used in Veracruz, but Jinich suggests that any oil will do. "You could use coconut oil. Who cares?"
Because we United States people never know when to say when, Jinich predicts that what my Veracruzano friend noticed in Mexico will soon happen here: versatile salsa macha on anything and everything. "You can have it with barbecue; you can have it on an American deli sandwich, says Jinich. "I won't be surprised when there's a salsa macha burger."

We are constantly writing––composing emails, blackboard posts, essays, and dean's date papers. In this two-part series, I am interested in understanding the different forms of writing students explore on campus. Specifically, I interview students who write for campus publications to see how they approach the writing process in their extracurriculars.
In this post, I Interview Serena Alagappan '20, the Editor-in-Chief and a writer for Nassau Weekly. Serena is a comparative literature major who, for three years now, has shared poetry, cultural critiques, profiles, and fiction through the Nass. In my interview with Serena, we discuss creative writing and the connection she has experienced between her academic and personal writing. Serena encourages students to explore writing through the Creative Writing program and shares advice on how students can carry over the freedom and expression of creative writing into more formal and rigid academic subjects.
This year, I spent my spring break traveling around Japan with my art history seminar course, ART 429 Visual Japan: Past and Present. It was an absolutely transformative experience, both academically and personally. I'm here to share a little bit about how I learned to use experiences to inspire research and find answers through reflection.
The registrar for spring courses came out not too long ago. It's time to start thinking about course selection!
Each semester, Princeton offers over 1,000 courses, taught in over 100 departments and programs, over a range of 8 distributions by professors who have served as Presidents, been awarded Nobel Prizes, made groundbreaking discoveries in their fields, and received Pulitzer Prizes. At Princeton, each course is not just a series of lessons; courses are opportunities–opportunities to travel, to get to know professors, to learn methods for independent work, to explore your interests.
With so much available each semester, how does one pick just 4 or 5 courses to take?
Here is a guide to Princeton's (many) resources for selecting courses. Included are reviews of different online applications for course searching and scheduling and a few general tips of advice.
After enjoying a summer of traveling, volunteering, camping, interning, hanging out with friends or whatever other shenanigans you might have been up to, it can be difficult to get back into the Princeton mindset.
Even though we are already a month in to the semester, I am still trying to remember how to do school! If you're anything like me, you're still working to rebuild your study habits. As we all begin to prepare for midterms (eek!), here are some study tips and tactics tailored to your learning style.
Research can be a truly thrilling experience–interesting data, new findings, surprising collections. However, research can also be incredibly frustrating, namely when you feel like your work isn't going anywhere.
If you've ever been really excited about a topic, done a load of research, and still found that you aren't making forward progress, this post is for you. I'm talking about hitting tough obstacles in your research–walls you can't seem to get over–reaching what seems like a dead end.

Microsoft announces anti-spyware acquisition
In a further sign that spyware is becoming a major IT security threat, Microsoft has acquired US-based Giant Company Software, a provider of software tools to combat the presence of unwanted monitoring programs on users' PCs.
Microsoft did not divulge the terms of the agreement, but announced that it plans to use the technology acquired in the deal in a forthcoming release. Within the next month it will provide Windows users with a spyware protection, detection and removal tool, based on Giant technology.
Spyware, which takes many forms, is considered to be a growing security issue. Its presence on a system can noticeably slow the performance of a PC. Some spyware tools log usernames and passwords or steal personal information. Others allow identity theft to happen, with the compromised information then at risk of being sold to a third party. Autodialler programs are also considered to be spyware. A recent estimate from IDC suggested that as much as 67pc of consumer PCs are infected with some form of spyware.
Mike Nash, corporate vice-president of the security business and technology unit at Microsoft, said: "Through this acquisition we're excited to be able to provide near-term relief to Windows customers by offering new technology to help keep spyware and other deceptive software off their PCs."
The upcoming release, which will be a beta version, will scan a PC to locate spyware and other deceptive software threats, allowing customers to remove them. According to Microsoft, the tool will be configurable to block known spyware and other unwanted software from being installed on the computer. It will be available for Windows 2000 and later versions. Microsoft hasn't yet revealed further plans for the product such as delivery dates or pricing details.
Ron Franczyk, co-founder and president of technology at Giant Company, said that the software works through a combination of spyware-signature databases, real-time security agents as well as a 'neighbourhood watch' feature to protect users.

Q: Among the various subgraphs of $K_5$, how many are cycles? Among the various subgraphs of $K_5$, how many are cycles?
I know the answer is $37$ because the number of $3$-cycles is $10$, the number of $4$-cycles is $15$, and $5$-cycles is $12$. Could anyone explain in detail how these numbers are reached?

A: First notice that any $n \in \{3,4,5\}$ vertices you choose from $K_5$, you can make a cycle out of them. When you are counting the $n$-cycles, you need to count the number of ways you can choose $n$ vertices out the given $5$ vertices, and for each of those choices you need to count how many ways those $n$ vertices can be arranged into a cycle.
So when counting the $3$-cycles, since there is only one way to have a cycles with $3$ vertices it would be
$$
  \binom{5}{3} \times (1) = 10 \times (1) = 10
$$
The cases for $4$ and $5$ vertices is done similarly. You've just got to figure out how to count the number of ways $4$ and $5$ vertices can be connected into a cycles. Can you take it from here?

134 jobs under threat in Newry
Friday, November 22nd, 2013
SDLP MLAs Dominic Bradley and Karen Mc Kevitt, along with South Down SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie have lambasted the HMRC over plans to close their Newry office leading to the loss of 134 jobs locally.
Bradley was angered by the HMRC revelations
Speaking to Newry Times after a meeting with union officials and local HMRC staff Bradley said, "The job cuts being proposed by HMRC will hit only Nationalist areas west of the Bann – Newry, Enniskillen, and Derry and those affected will predominately be nationalist and female. "HMRC has engineered this move to avoid living up to their Section 75 (NI Act) duties to carry out an Equality Impact Assessment. It is totally unacceptable that HMRC should seek to ride roughshod over important legislation which seeks to ensure equality of treatment for all. "HMRC is in danger of damaging its reputation as being a fair employer representing all communities in Northern Ireland through its current approach to the proposed office closures. Such behavior cannot be tolerated and will be fiercely opposed by all right thinking people here and beyond." Bradley's party colleague Karen Mc Kevitt echoed his sentiments. "The Executive has hosted Investment Conferences in an effort to create new jobs and here we have a Whitehall department slashing long standing public service jobs in areas where they are sorely needed. "We need jobs to underpin the peace process and a department which is seen to be ignoring equality legislation relating to religious and gender discrimination certainly does not help. We will fight tooth and nail to ensure that these jobs remain in Newry." SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie added, "HMRC are being dishonest in presenting their cuts agenda as a response to changes in business trends. Nothing could be further from the truth; there is plenty of experience and flexibility within the Newry office to handle non-specific location work and training. "I have won the battle in the past to keep HMRC in Newry and I will continue to work to keep it there. I have already asked the Treasury Minister to meet my colleagues and I to discuss this issue and help ensure that the threat to these jobs is removed."
