Can Masferrer és una masia habilitada com a restaurant de Riudarenes (Selva) inclosa a l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
Edifici de planta rectangular i amb un pis superior, teulada a doble vessant, teula àrab i cornisa catalana. El portal i finestres són quadrangulars amb brancals, llinda i ampit de pedra. La porta principal té la inscripció de "Pere Masferrer i l'any 1703", en una finestra, la llinda data de 1732. Tota la construcció és de maçoneria arrebossada i pintada. Per la part posterior de l'edifici, a diferent nivell degut al pendent del terreny on es troba edificat, hi ha una entrada i diverses obertures. Hi ha dos habitatges, el dels masovers i al costat una altra construcció més recent, en l'entrada de la qual hi ha una reixa de ferro forjat damunt la porta amb la data de 1882. L'interior conserva força l'estructura original però hi ha hagut canvis perquè una part de la casa s'ha destinat a bar-restaurant.

Història
A partir de 1747 s'inicià la construcció del nucli urbà de l'Esparra, fins llavors només constituït per l'església, la rectoria Mas Masferrer. Va ser aquest any que Antoni Masferrer va vendre un tros de terra per 300 lliures a Esteve Clos incloguent una sèrie de condicions sobre les normes d'edificaió. Allí s'hi va construir el mas Pujató. l'any 1760, Masferrer va vendre dos trossos més de terra que donaren lloc a Can Periques i Cal jornaler. Més tard, el 1774 encara en vengué un altre de l'anomenat camp de la plaça que va donar lloc a Can Roquet.

The square of that small situated city in front of the church was in party, did not fit plus nobody. It was day saint, the people if they elbowed they crossed and it anxiously, waiting the beginning of the procession. In this exactly place in other occasions, the villagers heard the proclamations of the administrator of the city, imposing severe taxes to the inhabitants, who paid with much sacrifice, cursing old alcaide, represented for one decree from there fincada to few meters. He was sculptured in white granite, for a master I officiate of it come of the great city, that for the services, did not receive no paid one, what much annoyed to it and also cursed the solicitant, in the day that was even so. thus proceeded with other people not paying correctly to the renderings of services, being the deviated money of the safes of the community, for its recondite castle, not destining resources for other workmanships, that the people deserved, for the carried through sacrifices. The city was very aprazvel, the walls surrounded that it, in medieval style, exhibited in its interior, secular constructions that shaded the few side streets, bringing enchantments perfumed in the floreiras spread under the windows, where they made you its order, to the salesmen of fruits and vegetables, that were circulating in the side streets.
But the moment was special, therefore days before, arrived a message at proco, directed for the Mayor, saying to repass to its faithful in the sunday mass, that a very good thing would go to happen, and the news would be given, before the beginning of the procession. The rumor ran borders, bringing of this form, the sculptor for the city, in the hope to receive the payment for decrees, that she was so perfect, that some said, only lacked to speak. The priest already was impatient, a time that the herald of alcaide not yet had fond, to read in that bendito parchment, that contained the notice.
For a few seconds, I think about not coming back to mine so strange and complicated world, where freedom is limited and treacherous, when suddenly, in my calm flight, I come back to observe of the high a present reality. to the times without wanting, diving in my distant past and I see myself ahead of the adventures of the life. When in my world, I did not have the happiness to find friends who if made use to travel with me, to share with my teeny adventures. Finally, I raise my wing in search of horizon, as they make the diverse viajores that follow me hours and hours in silence observing, me of far with respect. Without wanting, to the few I am invited to return of my true world. I do not feel courage to finish my trip and I limit myself to listen to my dear friends entoarem in one I only sing: ' ' friend does not go! He is more a little! We go to continue our trip! ' '. Awaken in silence ahead of all that order that go silencing to the few, making to return me to reality of this old world, where I dedicate myself solely to tell my trip to me, the most beautiful trip that I made to my true world, exactly knowing that it only exists inside of my proper one to be and that nobody never will be able to know it or conquest it Inside of me, some investigations go appearing when passing of the time: it will be that I will see still them? How will be daqui pra front, so distant of my friends? It would not be better to have forever been with them? Really, my prezado friend, is difficult to take a decision at a moment as this.

This machine aims to dispense the perfect glass of wine
It's like having a Nespresso for wine on your countertop.
By Victoria Ho on December 2, 2016

A new machine aims to do for wine what Nespresso and Keurig have done for coffee at home.
The D-Vine -- from the French wine startup 10-Vins -- puts wine in a 100ml test tube-shaped container called a 'flacon' (little bottle) and brings it to the optimum temperature and aeration recommended by wine makers.
SEE ALSO: The 'Game of Thrones' wine that would make Tyrion proud
Within a minute, it can chill or warm the wine and aerates the drink via a long, coiled inner tube which passes through it.

Four years went into developing a prototype which was market ready by 2014 and on sale in Europe by Christmas 2015.
Part of the reason it took so long was because the makers wanted the cooling engine to be able to chill the wine within a minute and without needing to plug the machine in.
This is not the same as a fridge, which slowly reaches and maintains a cold temperature, co-founder, Thibaut Jarrousse told Mashable.
Via Giphy(opens in a new tab)(Opens in a new window)
D-Vine launches in Singapore, U.S. next
It launched in Singapore this week -- it's first step outside of Europe. The makers are keen to expand to the U.S. and Asia.
10-Vins also doesn't make its own wine. Vineyards supply wine and information on temperature and food pairing, for the little bottles, or flacons.
"It can be a little hard to convince 'traditional' makers to put their wines in a form like this," Jarrousse explained.
But Jarrousse is hoping that smaller estates will be attracted to the prospect of offering a new way to reach customers, as well as the promise that their products will be presented in as perfect a state as possible.
All of its wine catalogue is sourced from France at the moment, although the company is keen to reach more wine makers, said Jarrousse.
Wines from other European countries and the Californian region in the U.S. are next on its list to target, he added.
Singaporeans can now order(Opens in a new window) the D-Vine online for S$1,790 ($1,257). Each flacon of wine ranges between S$9 ($6.32) and S$39 ($27.40).
It's worth noting that steep alcohol taxes makes drinking more expensive in Singapore compared with countries like the U.S. and with each glass beginning at S$9, it's still more expensive by volume than getting a store-bought bottle of wine.

Kalou's Goal Celebration and the Problem of Politics in Football
The top football leagues' fear of the political has now reached the point at which players have to deny supporting freedom of speech. Salomon Kalou, who scored both goals for Chelsea in their 2-0 win over Middlesbrough on Wednesday, celebrated both by crossing his arms at the wrist and running toward the crowd. This was interpreted by many as a "handcuffs" gesture meant to show support for the Ivorian activist Antoine Assalé Tiémoko, who was recently released after spending a year in an Ivory Coast prison for writing an opinion piece.
Tiémoko, who heads an NGO that works against social injustice and unemployment, published the piece on December 14, 2007 in the newspaper Le Nouveau Réveil. Titled "Justice, criminals and corruption," it told the story of a fictional African country called the Mastodon Coast, and used elements of parable, anagrams, and innuendo to accuse the Ivorian minister of justice, the state prosecutor, and a number of judges of corruption.
This wasn't a reckless accusation. Not long before Tiémoko's piece was published, the UN mission in Ivory Coast said in a report that judicial corruption had become so widespread in the country that "people have come to believe, even though fortunately it's not always the case, that it is impossible to get a favourable decision without handing over money." An entire class of illicit intermediaries, known as the "margouillat," has arisen to pass money between citizens, lawyers, and judges.
Regardless, Tiémoko was arrested on December 28, charged with "libeling the prosecutor's office" and "contempt of court," and sentenced to a year in prison on January 4. The conviction provoked outrage from human rights groups as well as from writers' organizations and free-speech advocates such as PEN and Reporters Without Borders.
The FA, has different standards, however, and has launched an investigation of Salomon Kalou (as well as his fellow Ivorian Didier Drogba, who joined him in the crossed-arms celebration) to determine whether the gesture was indeed a sign of support for Tiémoko. If they find that it was—if Kalou and Drogba were caught openly endorsing free speech during a football game—the two players will face fines and possible suspensions.
Is this not a little draconian in its own right? I understand that a football league is a private entity that can establish its own rules about political expression and require its players to follow them. I understand why a league would want to keep politics out of its games: it wants fans to be entertained, not made to squirm through fascist salutes and inflammatory theatrics. I could even partially sympathize with the RFEF when they fined Fredi Kanouté for revealing an utterly non-violent Palestine t-shirt during a match earlier this month. Messages like that can be explosive even if they aren't meant to be, and football lives on a thin enough line as it is.
But supporting a man who was imprisoned for writing an article? From here, that just seems uncontroversially admirable. I certainly can't imagine it would have provoked mass outrage in Stamford Bridge from Chelsea fans who knew what was happening. The whole investigation has a bizarro quality, actually: Kalou and Drogba are frantically denying doing something morally impressive; football, which wants to sell itself as a force for good in the world (just read Sepp Blatter's interviews!), is reflexively protecting the Ivorian justice minister over a wrongfully imprisoned writer. And Chelsea, which would love to be seen as a positive influence in the community, is desperately hoping that the FA will believe the two players were flashing the symbol of Konvict Muzik, Akon's record label.
Worst of all, the press, which is constantly blaring on about wanting players to be more virtuous, and which you might expect to have some sense of the stakes involved in, you know, throwing people in jail for writing in newspapers, has been either silent on the issue or has openly criticized the players. The Daily Mail actually bundled the story in with a special feature on "The most SHOCKING goal celebrations" (capitalization theirs, believe me).
But was this really, in any way, shocking? I can't help but think that some of the discomfiture is actually residual outrage from the hysteria over David Norris's handcuffs celebration in November: the simple act of signifying "handcuffs" is now so intrinsically offensive that the context ceases to matter. Which makes no sense, of course.
The more important question, I guess, is whether we think the "no politics" rule ought to be applied so universally and indiscriminately that there's no room to assess the values actually reflected in a gesture. But how can football claim not to distinguish among political values, when it's constantly inundating us with anti-racism and anti-violence messages? If John Terry had lifted up his shirt after scoring a goal to reveal an anti-apartheid t-shirt, would he be punished or celebrated?

It's profoundly depressing, and your "bizarro" paragraph does an excellent job of summarising just why that is so.
I will never forget Giovanni Elber's "dove of peace" celebration after he scored for Bayern in one of the first matches played after 9/11; it perfectly captured the sense of solidarity and shared pain that was so prevalent in Europe in the week following the attacks.
Has it really reached the point where players who are constantly being used to promote an endless array of commercial products and services and "officially approved" causes are to be barred from expressing even a hint of their own point of view?
Justin Wood
The views expressed in this goal celebration are not the views of Chelsea football club or its supporting companies.
Its the same thing 20th century fox says before all its "edgy" indy movies, like JUNO. The Prem league and Chelsea are corporations, and no corporations want to be associated with anything political.
I note that today's Fiver is quite convinced of the veracity of the Akon explanation.
Sometimes I despair.
KingSnake
At least Robbie Fowler was not snorting the end line …
Excellent article. Sums up the situation perfectly. Not really much more I can add, except that it is typical of the FA to involve itself more with these trivialities than with more important matters.
Would that the FA come down as hard on leg breaking tackles and footballer pub argy-bargy …
Hi Brian. Great article. I've been admiring your work from afar for quite a while. This piece in particular makes such a valid point that appears to have been missed by many.
Here's a good piece on the general subject of journalists being silenced with libel laws, which is an ongoing problem in Africa.
Also, Russell Brand in the Guardian today comes close to some of the points I tried to make in this post. At first, I thought that was depressing, but then I realized that it actually made my case about the press reaction to the incident. This is a Russell Brand argument to them.
Also, apparently Kalou's own explanation for the gesture was that it was an homage to WWE wrestler John Cena. I kind of believe him, which may be the most depressing thing of all.
This has no doubt already occurred to you, but if either (or both) of the Akon/Cena stories are accurate, it would be very interesting to determine just how the Tiémoko meme took hold.
Perhaps I'm being uncharitable, but I tend to doubt that the many of the usual suspects who fill Premier League press boxes are active supporters of PEN or otherwise up to date with the latest in West African press censorship.
Whatever the underlying reality, it's quite obvious that Tiémoko's plight (and that of Ivorian dissidents in general) has gotten infinitely more coverage in the non-specialist media than it would have otherwise.
And that is an infinitely more valuable use of "viral marketing" techniques than anything T-Mobile is doing in railway stations.
Great post, as usual. 🙂
Just on the Kanoute-Palestine shirt point, it was interesting to note the general reaction in Spain to his celebration, which was fairly supportive, and quite a few players/coaches (Barca's Guardiola being one of the most vocal) criticised his 3000 euro fine. I thought Kanoute handled the whole thing admirably, but the RFEF really didn't cover themselves in glory.
If, as you say, you understand that a private organization has the desire – and the right! – to remain an entertainment industry in which external political speech is best left in the locker room, then the rest of your article becomes moot. If an athlete feels called upon to exercise political free speech then he should do so outside the confines of the sports arena. There are plenty of outlets for him: demonstrations, letters to the editor, etc. Grandstanding gestures of which you speak are getting tiresome. The only purpose they serve is for the perpetrators to feel morally superior to the rest of us.
They've "perpetrated" nothing, other than a few disturbed molecules of oxygen. Those who actually *do* wrong things — riots in Millwall and Manchester, beatings by players in pubs, leg breaking tackles, harassment of referees, a special category for Joey Barton, etc. — go by with barely a tut-tut. *They* are those who ought be heaped with scorn, not larger piles of pounds.
If, as you say, you understand that a private organization has the desire – and the right! – to remain an entertainment industry in which external political speech is best left in the locker room, then the rest of your article becomes moot.
Does not. Because:
1) Just because an entity has the right to do something in a libertarian sense doesn't mean that they're morally justified in doing it or that it's their best course of action. A person has the right in a libertarian sense not to save a drowning child, but it doesn't follow that the exercise of that right is good in a moral sense. I think it's arguable that the FA's decision not to allow any political expression from players falls into that "they have the right, but they'd be better off not exercising it" category. Hence, the argument.
It's like, they own the house, and they can make it look however they want, but I can still drive by the house and say, "Woah. Ugly house."
2) There's a pretty good case to be made that "grandstanding gestures" of this sort can do more than demonstrations or letters to the editor to make people aware of oppression. I hadn't heard of Tiémoko before, or known about some of the specific ways in which the free press was being stifled in Africa, and now I do. That seems like a win, in a way that has nothing to do with Kalou's "moral superiority."
I'm not saying that the FA should let players roll out Khmer Rouge parade floats every time they score a goal. Just that there should be some minimal exemption to avoid the absurd situation of a player being allowed to show his support for a professional wrestler but not for a journalist who was thrown in jail for speaking out against a corrupt government.
FIRExNECK
I know in Brasil the gesture is considered to be a symbol of a barbarian/warrior. It is the unofficial symbol of players/supporters of Cruziero.
If it was a "political statement" it was almost unnoticeable. I mean really, its not as if he displayed a shirt declaring his love for Palestine or Obama.

Kakistocracy: "Government by the worst people."
If we were watching a satirical TV series in which the President of the USA re-tweeted deeply offensive messages without checking their veracity or source, the ability to switch off the screen or choose a different programme might make the events seem like a poorly written script. Because the show would have been poking fun at the so called leader of the free world in an extremely far-fetched manner, some of us might enjoy the programme despite its absurdity. If the programme gained enough popularity, the real life President might even be asked if he had ever been tempted to tweet something outrageous and no doubt the real President would turn that into a joke and move on to the much more important issues such as how to deal with poverty and healthcare, how to ensure that all US citizens feel equal despite the colour of the skin or their gender and how to deal with matters across the rest of the free world.
The fact that this is not satire and Trump has chosen to defend himself by suggesting he is not the problem and has called on his press team to claim the real problem is the rest of the world shows just how weird life has become. This is particularly disturbing when in real life, men and women in various positions have lost their jobs for the unprofessional use of social media. Meanwhile back in the UK the recently resigned Secretary of State for International Development has just proposed improving our prospects of a clean Brexit by telling the rest of the EU to "sod off". This sort of language in public from a leader in virtually any other profession would at the very least bring a reprimand to the person concerned, however the voters in Witham are in no position to challenge Ms Patels words, even though she is paid to represent them. Elsewhere in our country a previous leader of the Conservative Party who was Home Secretary for 4 years and is qualified as a QC has just had a conviction quashed for failing to complete a form correctly, even though he did not fill it out as he should. While he did not design the form himself, it is one of the documents that his old department were responsible for creating. The numbers of people who have been denied justice or benefits because they have failed to complete badly designed forms properly, runs into tens of thousands. Their position in life and wealth however mean that unlike Michael Howard, most simply had to take such matters on the chin.
The truth is that the behaviour of a select group of our political leaders has reached a level that is so low, it is hard to imagine that things could get any worse. A recent analysis of the House of Lords identified around 90 Peers who had voted or asked questions less than 5 times in the year, yet between them had claimed over £500,000, so along with the privilege of being a member of the upper House they have each benefited from an average of £6,000 of public money for their attendance and other expenses. Along with the examples above there are numerous cases such as those of Boris Johnson, Michael Fallon, Damien Green etc who have brought their previously high office into disrepute. Yet behind these people or perhaps above them, there are many MPs, Peers, Councillors and MEPs whose hard work on our account barely gets a mention on TV or in the newspapers. It seems as though we need some way of truly holding our representatives to account and rewarding those who distinguish themselves by working hard in their roles. One person whose name comes to my mind is Frank Field who was elected in 1979 so he has been an MP for 38 years which is a huge length of time. Although I have disagreed with him on many occasions, he has achieved a huge amount of good. The same could be said for the current group of MPs in our City who between them have served a mere 10 years as MPs but all seem to work hard for our city. At a more local level, Tracey Hill is an extremely hard working Councillor in my ward and peers such as Tanni Grey-Thompson and Janet Whitaker do a stirling job on the red benches. They are of course not alone and many others could be listed. It seems that we need to find a way of applauding their hard work, just as we need a way of dismissing those who take unreasonable advantage of their position in our nation and bring the roles into disrepute.

The world is a funny place. You see history of bad things taking place and countries getting systematically destroyed. You wonder how it happened. You see works of fiction such as 1984 and so forth that explain bad things taking place and it looks surreal.
So far no one seems to ask the question we should all be asking. What is the emotional and mental make up that leads to situations resulting in mob rule and destructions of functional republics(like this one) and what is it that makes democracies unworkable as a system of government?
What exactly is thought-crime? How does that relate to psychopathy? Who gets to pick who has correct thoughts?
Is man free to choose his own destiny? Answer truthfully! If you truly believe that, why would you attack people, knowing that you, yourself are not perfect?
The next time that there is an upheaval around you, and you see your own neighborhood and everything you worked for destroyed, do not question how it happened. Sit down and think. You will see then, if you look long enough, and have enough endowment in the life force, that you did it yourself. Hopefully, it will not be too late by then.
There is a reason that leadership is trusted to a few. You can not legislate life out of existence, Tina, but you only harm yourself in trying. There are people more endowed than you are. It's a fact of life. By the way, The US is not a democracy. It is a republic. There is no direct vote. That way, you can not whip up mobs to get what you want and satisfy your emotional whims based on negative attitudes towards life.
2021 is coming. Buckle up! It's a bumpy road ahead.

Would You Pay $1.5 Million Dollar For A Notoriously Haunted House? The Famous Farm House From The Conjuring Movie Sells For 27% More Than Asking Price - yuetu.info
The Conjuring and all the films that followed it in the horror universe of director James Wan, have been one of the most prominent projects in the horror genre in recent years. While not all the films have been critically well-received but pretty much all of the films have made significant buck at the box office, much to the delight of Warner Brothers.
The first film of the universe, namely, The Conjuring followed the story of the Peron family who move into an old farmhouse which turns out to be haunted and results in the Peron family asking paranormal investigators Ed Warren and Loraine Warren for help. This film is based on a true story from one of the most famous cases of the real life Paranormal Investigator couple of the same names. The film obviously deferred from the true story a little for the purpose of cinematic value but several of the paranormal occurrences shown in the film did actually occur including one scene where Carolyn Peron levitates while sitting in a chair.
The real life farm house which the movie is based on was bought in 2019 by Jenn and Cory Heinzen who are paranormal investigators themselves. They used the house as headquarters for their business.
After the success of the movie, when the Heinzens tried to sell the house, naturally they got many high end bids, but the Heinzens had certain demands before reaching an agreement, and none of the buyers agreed to a pre-purchase interview.
Eventually, the Heinzens sold the house to one, Jacqueline Nuñez, for the price of $1.525 million which is 27% more than their asking price of $1.2 million. Jacqueline met with the Heinzen's condition that no one is to live in the house and it should only be used for running a business and furthermore, Jacqueline has decided to partner with one of the original Peron family daughters, Christine Peron to allow people to visit the house.
Jacqueline says she just wants to facilitate people who believe in the supernatural and to make the house a place of love because she doesn't believe the house is a negative place haunted by a demon but rather a place where you can speak to dead spirits and she wishes to change the house's negative image.

13-year-old creates school closet to give clothes to classmates
An eighth grader from Louisiana is making sure his classmates have everything they need this school year. Thirteen-year-old Chase Neyland-Square has created a closet in his middle school filled with clothes and school supplies for students to take.
Neyland-Square, a student at Port Allen Middle School in Louisiana, runs "PAM's Pantry" out of a closet behind a stage in the school's gym. It's filled to the brim with donated clothes, which can be worn by any student in need.
"I know that everybody doesn't have things and I'm fortunate to have things that other people don't have, and I look at it as sometimes, how would I feel in that situation?" Neyland-Square told CBS Baton Rouge affiliate WAFB.
The Uplift More
More in The Uplift
Families in the community can come take clothes from the closet at any time, no questions asked.
"They had a family, a Port Allen family who suffered from a fire, so they came in and got a whole new closet full of clothes," he said.
But it's not just clothes. The closet is also filled with a variety of school supplies, hygiene products, shoes and more.

The idea was born through the school's SPARK (Student Program for Arts, Recreation, and Knowledge program), where students brainstorm ideas for projects over the summer and then work to implement them. Principal Jessica Major started the program in 2016 with the goal of creating young leaders.
"We ask them what they want to do to make the school better and through that, we have changed drastically some of the things that we do here at Port Allen Middle School," Major said.
Other ideas sparked through the program include lunch with Principal Major, extended recess, brightening up the hallways, and a better selection of library books.
But Neyland-Square has big dreams for PAM's Pantry that extend beyond the halls of his middle school
"I'm going to come back and continue working on PAM's Pantry," Neyland-Square said. "I'm hoping one day I can turn it into a non-profit organization."

Q: Using powershell to connect to HTTPS sites I have been provided a new Server 2012 box to setup.
I'm trying to use powershell to install chocolatey

iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

and getting the error

Exception calling "DownloadString" with "1" argument(s): "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error
occurred on a receive."
At line:1 char:1

I can visit that URL in the browser.
At first I thought this was something to do with Chocolatey but then I realised that

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://google.com'))

can download the html content
but

((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://google.com'))

fails with the same error

The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

The box:

*

*is windows server 2012 build 9600

*doesn't use a proxy

*has the firewall turned off

I feel sure I'm doing something silly but can't see what...
--- Update ---
Based on this answer
I followed these steps:
```
1.In Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Local Security Policy.
2.In Local Security Settings, expand Local Policies, and then click Security Options.
3.Under Policy in the right pane, double-click System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing, and then click Enabled.

*Ran gpupdate /force
```

After that the chocolatey install script can be downloaded but then fails with:

STDOUT: FIPS Mode detected - run 'choco feature enable -n useFipsCompliantChecksums'
 to use Chocolatey.
When FIPS Mode is enabled, Chocolatey requires useFipsCompliantChecksums feature also be enabled.
STDERR:
---- End output of C:\ProgramData\chocolatey/bin/choco.exe list -l -r ----
Ran C:\ProgramData\chocolatey/bin/choco.exe list -l -r returned 1

Still feels like the GPO change shouldn't be necessary

A: It turns out this was as a result of TLS 1.0 being disabled in our server images in order to comply with PCI DSS 3.1.
Rolling back that change to the image resolved the powershell issue.
In the short term we can run
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 before using System.Net.WebClient but I'd like to find a way to enforce that at a machine level too...

I logged this with Chocolatey and they resolved the issue \o/

Khabib Nurmagomedov has threatened to quit UFC if his sparring partner Zubaira Tukhugov is fired by the organisation for punching Conor McGregor at UFC 229.
Tukhugov, who appeared to punch McGregor from behind, was one of three men who exchanged punches with the Irishman in the melee that broke out following the main event.
After Nurmagomedov submitted McGregor via choke in the fourth round of their lightweight title bout, he jumped out of the octagon to scuffle with Dillon Danis, the Irishman's jiu-jitsu coach.
McGregor attempted to scale the fence as well but was restrained by security. He then exchanged punches with three men, two of whom jumped into the octagon to get at him.
Nurmagomedov has now made it clear he is not willing to accept any of his camp being punished for their roles in the fracas.
Nurmagomedov wrote on Instagram: "I would like to address the UFC.
"Why do you have to punish my team, when both teams fought? If you say that I started it, then I do not agree, I finished what he had started.
"If you think that I'll keep silent then you are mistaken. You cancelled Zubaira's fight and you want to dismiss him just because he hit Conor. But don't forget that it was Conor who had hit my another Brother FIRST, just check the video.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission has withheld Nurmagomedov's purse from the fight pending the outcome of an investigation.
UFC president Dana White said earlier this week he believes a four-to-six month suspension and a $250,000 fine would be appropriate punishments for Nurmagomedov, but added the UFC has no plans to strip him of his lightweight title.
Regardless of what happens, Nurmagomedov does not regret his actions after the biggest win of his career.
Nurmagomedov added: "And one more thing, you can keep my money that you are withholding. You are pretty busy with that, I hope it won't get stuck in your throat.
"We have defended our honour and this is the most important thing. We intend to go to the end. #Brothers"
Las Vegas police confirmed no arrests were made because no one involved wished to press charges but White promised punishments for those who tangled with McGregor.
White said: "The guys who jumped in will never fight here."
"The guys who jumped in will never fight here."
Tukhugov is scheduled to fight McGregor's team-mate Artem Lobov on October 27 at a UFC Fight Night in Moncton, New Brunswick.
As of Thursday afternoon, that fight remains on the official schedule on UFC.com but Nurmagomedov believes it has been cancelled and is far from happy about it.

Research examines the role of psychotherapists in treatment effectiveness
New research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst shows that different psychotherapists use common treatment processes to varying benefits for patients.
Credit: UMass Amherst
The findings, published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, ultimately may lead to more personalized clinical practices and trainings for therapists to help maximize their therapeutic impact and improve patient outcomes.
"Research has tended to focus on the contributions of the patient or treatment type to therapy outcomes, which makes sense in a lot of ways, but unfortunately the therapist contribution has been somewhat neglected," says lead author Alice Coyne, now a post-doctoral researcher at Case Western Reserve University and a Ph.D. graduate of UMass Amherst. "Our current trainings, which are often standardized across therapists, tend not to promote consistent improvements in patient outcomes. Instead, we believe that personalizing training to therapists' unique strengths and weaknesses could enhance training outcomes down the line."
Working with co-author Michael Constantino, professor of clinical psychology and director of the Psychotherapy Research Lab at UMass Amherst, Coyne initially conducted the research as part of her Ph.D. dissertation, which received the 2020 dissertation award from the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration.
"Her work is the first of its kind, and it will blaze a trail in our field," Constantino predicts.
As her dissertation's first aim, Coyne was interested in testing the prediction that patients experience more symptomatic and functional improvement in psychotherapy when a higher-quality patient-therapist alliance exists, as well as when the patient has a more positive expectation for change.
For the second aim, Coyne was interested in seeing if these associations differed based on who the therapist is. "A given technique in the hands of one therapist may look very different than that same technique in the hands of another therapist," Coyne says. "To put it simply, one therapist may use their relationship with their patients as a key means to facilitate improvement; whereas for another therapist, their relationships with patients may be less important for patient improvement than their use of other strategies, such as cultivating positive expectations for change."
Finally, for the third aim, Coyne looked at whether certain therapist characteristics predict which therapists tend to use relationship and belief processes to more therapeutic benefit across their caseloads.
To test these questions, the researchers analyzed data from 212 adults who were treated by 42 psychotherapists as part of a randomized trial that compared case-assignment methods in community-based mental health care. Throughout treatment, which varied in length and type, patients repeatedly completed surveys that measured their alliance quality with the therapist and their expectations for improvement.
Coyne and Constantino correctly hypothesized that, in general, better alliance quality and more positive outcome expectation associated with better treatment outcomes. Also, as predicted, therapists exhibited different strengths and weaknesses in their use of relationship and belief processes.
Finally, there was preliminary support that the therapists who used the alliance most effectively to promote patient improvement are the ones "… who are humbler in assessing their own alliance-fostering abilities," the paper states.
Humbly know thyself may be one helpful takeaway from the research. "If you learn the things that you do particularly well as a therapist, then you can tailor your practice and play to your strengths," Coyne says.

Wi-Fi 6E is designated for 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6 devices
Wi-Fi 6 devices that are capable of 6 GHz operation inhabit an important portion of unlicensed spectrum that may soon be made available by regulators around the world.
www.wi-fi.org
Wi-Fi Alliance on Jan. 3 announced it is introducing new terminology to distinguish forthcoming Wi-Fi 6 devices that are capable of 6 GHz operation, an important portion of unlicensed spectrum that may soon be made available by regulators around the world. The newly designated Wi-Fi 6E brings a common industry name for Wi-Fi users to identify devices that will offer the features and capabilities of Wi-Fi 6 – including higher performance, lower latency, and faster data rates – extended into the 6 GHz band.
Wi-Fi 6E devices are expected to become available quickly following 6 GHz regulatory approvals, utilizing this additional spectrum capacity to deliver continuous Wi-Fi innovation and valuable contributions to consumers, businesses and economies.
Per a press statement from the Alliance: "Wi-Fi is ready to utilize 6 GHz spectrum as it becomes available around the world. Wi-Fi Alliance continues to support international advocacy efforts to make this additional spectrum available to Wi-Fi users, while also protecting existing devices in the band. Wi-Fi has been recognized as a foundational technology for the Internet of Things, a necessary complement to delivering 5G, an important tool bringing communication networks to underserved areas, and a strong contributor to global economies. 6 GHz is well suited to facilitate Wi-Fi's continued growth in these areas due to its adjacency to 5 GHz where Wi-Fi already operates, greater availability of wider channel sizes, and accessibility to clear spectrum with less interference from legacy Wi-Fi 4 or Wi-Fi 5 devices."
"If the regulatory landscape permits, we expect companies to move forward aggressively with products that operate in 6 GHz because they understand the tremendous value brought to their customers by this portion of unlicensed spectrum," asserts Phil Solis, research director at IDC. "If spectrum is made available early this year, we expect momentum of products that support operation in 6 GHz to ramp very quickly. The capacity of 6 GHz is enormous and will be efficiently used by Wi-Fi 6 and newer versions of Wi-Fi. The U.S. is taking a big lead on the 6 GHz market, with Europe and APAC regions also exploring access to this band."
Once 6 GHz is made available by regulators, analysts predict the first Wi-Fi devices to use the band will include Wi-Fi 6E consumer access points and smartphones, followed by enterprise-grade access points.
Industrial environments are also expected to see strong adoption from Wi-Fi 6E to deliver applications including machine analytics, remote maintenance, or virtual employee training. Wi-Fi 6E will utilize 6 GHz to deliver much anticipated augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR) use cases for consumer, enterprise, and industrial environments.
Wi-Fi Alliance notes that 6 GHz technology addresses Wi-Fi spectrum shortage by providing contiguous spectrum blocks to accommodate 14 additional 80 MHz channels and 7 additional 160 MHz channels which are needed for high-bandwidth applications that require faster data throughput such as high-definition video streaming and virtual reality. Wi-Fi 6E devices will leverage wider channels and additional capacity to deliver greater network performance and support more Wi-Fi users at once, even in very dense and congested environments. Wi-Fi Alliance is working on the development of interoperability testing for Wi-Fi 6E that will deliver benefits to Wi-Fi users once the spectrum is available.
"6 GHz will help address the growing need for Wi-Fi spectrum capacity to ensure Wi-Fi users continue to receive the same great user experience with their devices," comments Edgar Figueroa, president and CEO, Wi-Fi Alliance. "Wi-Fi Alliance is introducing Wi-Fi 6E now to ensure the industry aligns on common terminology, allowing Wi-Fi users to identify devices that support 6 GHz operation as the spectrum becomes available."
Wi-Fi Alliance member testimonial support for 6 GHz technology has been voluminous. Industry comments are as follows:
"The addition of 6 GHz Wi-Fi will be a game-changer for consumers and operators alike. More spectrum and larger channel bandwidth will provide the capacity to support even more devices, at even faster speeds. To ensure the highest quality experience, on any given device, at any given time, operators must have the tools in place to optimize performance of all devices in the home. AirTies' Smart Wi-Fi software and cloud-based management software will help operators proactively manage devices to achieve the best possible performance, whether it's for new Wi-Fi 6 devices at 6 GHz, or legacy devices at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz." – Metin Taskin, CTO of AirTies
"Wi-Fi has become the most important wireless technology for American consumers and businesses, and is projected to contribute almost $1 trillion in economic value to the United States by 2023. As the application and overall demand for Wi-Fi continue to surge, access to the 6 GHz unlicensed spectrum will enable Wi-Fi to continue delivering the vast innovations and socioeconomic benefits it is bringing to the market today while helping to ensure Wi-Fi can meet the new promises of the 5G era and beyond." – Chuck Lukaszewski, vice president of Wireless Standards and Strategy for Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company
"Opening up blocks of 6 GHz bandwidth for Wi-Fi definitely supports growth of Wi-Fi in the next decade. Many more larger-bandwidth channels can be simultaneously deployed to enable data heavy communication and back and front haul of multi-node wireless networks, and increase immunity to interference over all as a Wi-Fi system. As a side benefit, Wi-Fi signal location accuracy can significantly improve and open up paths for new applications. ASSIA will be actively supporting standardization and commercialization of new capabilities of 6 GHz in a vendor-neutral fashion across the Wi-Fi ecosystem." – Tuncay Cil, Chief Strategy Officer, ASSIA
"2020 marks a new decade for innovation and we're seeing that first hand with Wi-Fi 6E. Access to more megahertz, like the 6 GHz band, expands the richness and power of the wireless ecosystem, enabling providers like Boingo to complement 5G deployments and meet multiple connected use cases in dense environments." – Dr. Derek Peterson, Chief Technology Officer, Boingo
"The 6 GHz band will perhaps be the most disruptive boon for Wi-Fi users in the last twenty years. This swath of spectrum, when coupled with Wi-Fi, will power new consumer experiences on smartphones, AR/VR devices and wearables we haven't even yet invented. The Wi-Fi 6E brand for 6 GHz Wi-Fi will let consumers know that their Wi-Fi experience is about to get even better. Broadcom is excited about the wireless future with Wi-Fi 6E, and applauds the industry for coming up with a simple, elegant brand that amplifies the immediate possibilities with 6 GHz for Wi-Fi lovers everywhere." – Vijay Nagarajan, Vice President, Wireless Communications and Connectivity Division, Broadcom Inc.
"CableLabs applauds the FCC for advancing spectrum access in the 5.9 GHz and 6 GHz frequency bands. The cable industry is building the future of broadband with the 10G platform. For consumers to fully benefit from 10G innovation, wireless links need to be robust, and this spectrum is critical to that vision." – Rob Alderfer, vice president of technology policy at CableLabs
"We welcome the adoption of the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi. This will ensure a better user experience for all Wi-Fi users, providing much needed additional spectrum. CEVA has contributed to the incredible growth of the Wi-Fi market, including Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6 and now Wi-Fi 6E. We are proud to have licensed our RivieraWaves Wi-Fi IP and platforms to numerous major semiconductor companies addressing a broad range of market segments including wearables, medical, IoT, smart home, access points and gateways." – Ange Aznar, VP & GM of Wireless IoT BU at CEVA
"Wi-Fi 6E will play a crucial role in advancing wireless capabilities, with higher performance, lower latency and better quality at the 6 GHz bandwidth. The 6 GHz spectrum is valuable not just to Wi-Fi, so we hope that all communities can cooperate on ways to share these frequencies and create more seamless experiences. The 6 GHz band will also allow for greater location accuracy, opening up new and exciting opportunities to develop business-optimizing applications and use cases." – Anand Oswal, SVP, Engineering, Cisco Intent-based Networking Group
"Wi-Fi has changed the world, and we are excited to work with Wi-Fi Alliance to ensure Wi-Fi will continue changing the world. Wi-Fi 6's growth into the 6 GHz spectrum is a game changer for two reasons – the availability of the additional channels and the ability to finally use 160Mhz for high bandwidth applications like AR and VR; this provides enormous opportunities to build new applications and experiences for both consumers and businesses. By standardizing on Wi-Fi 6E, Cisco Meraki and others in the industry can begin delivering next-generation wireless experiences to customers." – Jayanthi Srinivasan, Director of Product Management, Cisco Meraki
"Wi-Fi 6E allows the immediate use of promised efficiencies from Wi-Fi 6, providing a spectrum platform for the next phase of lower latency and deterministic Wi-Fi services. We see these expanded capabilities seeding a new generation of high-speed laptops and tablets, applications around Wi-Fi 6E wireless mesh and high-quality video distribution in 8K and VR, and new, time-sensitive services." – Charles Cheevers, CTO, Home Networks, CommScope
"With every increase in available bandwidth, new devices and applications come along that leverage that space to provide experiences we never before imagined, yet quickly become part of the fabric of our everyday lives. Brand new Wi-Fi spectrum in the 6 GHz range will more than double available Wi-Fi frequencies and have a profound effect on Wi-Fi enabled communications. This additional bandwidth not only enables higher Wi-Fi 6 performance with less congestion, but also delivers sufficient spectrum to effectively deploy 80 MHz or 160 MHz-wide channels, severely restricted at 5 GHz. 6 GHz finally and legitimately provides the higher data rates required to drive virtual and augmented reality forward, giving users and organizations the ability to develop a whole new world of use cases." – Perry Correll, Director of Product Management, Extreme Networks
"Access to the 6 GHz spectrum band is vital to ensuring that millions of consumers and businesses have continued access to the latest wireless innovations and capabilities. It will bring increased capacity and better Wi-Fi performance for the highest quality experiences in homes and enterprises. The FCC's pending decision to open up the 6 GHz band for unlicensed use in the United States is a crucial step in Wi-Fi technology's evolution to further support widespread wireless device use." – Carlos Cordeiro, Senior Principal Engineer for Intel Corporation and Technical Advisor to the Wi-Fi Alliance Board of Directors
"Although Europe will open less spectrum to WLAN than the US, 6 GHz will still bring a true boost to Wi-Fi 6. We expect data rates to double and latencies to be halved - making Wi-Fi an unbeatable alternative to 5G in campus networks." – Jan Buis, Vice President Business Development, LANCOM Systems
"Long standing relationships between Linksys and industry governances such as Wi-Fi Alliance combined with our strong legacy in networking ensure that our products continue to deliver the highest performance.

The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was intended to make health care coverage available to the over 40 million lives in this country, who had no financial protections or were paying more than they could afford. By some measures, the legislation was successful, in that number has been cut almost in half. Additionally, is inclusion of preexisting conditions and extension of coverage under the parents' plans.
Several flaws have doomed the ACA that will either prompt major changes or new legislation altogether. The most significant are two: The first is the failure to incentivize or conscript enough healthy individuals to sign up in order to pay for the added expenses created by the less healthy that have joined the program. The second is the escalating costs from regulatory demands on private insurance that are stipulated in the ACA.
Philosopher, poet and novelist. George Santayana's (1863-1952) quote, "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," could well apply to health care reform legislation. The similarities as to why Clinton's plan failed and why Obama's is in trouble are that the creators of both plans did not have enough of an understanding of the fundamentals of health care delivery, as they relate to human nature.
The integral bond between the doctor and the patient is relational--- based on trust, efforts and compassion. Interactions, in the so-called business world, are transactional and tied directly to outcomes. Trying to convert the patient/doctor relationship into one that is solely based on outcomes, rather than efforts is fraught with failure.
The Clintons and Past-President Obama brought together their so-called medical experts in designing their original plans. What seems to have been ignored were the practicing physicians and their patients. Instead, they depended on the bureaucratic number crunchers and ivory tower researchers in resource allocation to design their plans. Neither group showed much interest or understanding of social ecology which follows a moral economy that moves beyond scarcity and hierarchy. Instead moving toward a world that brings together human communities,* as they relate to social biology--- how individuals interact with the larger community for the benefit of all.
Our leadership should start with a better understanding of the evolution of the foundations of health care delivery. Asking questions, as well as understanding the importance of the principles, such as: What degree of health care is a right in an advanced society versus what is considered a privilege? Having an appreciation of the conflicting loyalties of the health care providers for their individual patients and that of all the patients in a constrained system. Being able to select one's caregiver by choice rather than assignment. Recognizing the importance of open interaction between the patients and their doctors. Anticipating the problems that arise with the advances in the science of medicine as they relate to availability, likelihood of outcome and costs. Who, and to what degree, is responsible for payment of health care costs--- the patients, the third party payers or the federal subsidy programs?
The nine postings over the last six weeks, taken cumulatively, explain much of the history of this country's health care delivery system. They can also serve as a framework to lead this country to a new system that provides all our citizens, who participate, affordable coverage opportunities.

Bravo, magnificent idea
Yes, really. I join told all above. Let's discuss this question. Here or in PM.
Dasho says:
Just that is necessary. An interesting theme, I will participate.


Impulsive (low self-control) behaviour is linked to mental health issues (Tangney, Baumeister, & Boone, 2004), unemployment (Wright, Caspi, Moffitt, & Silva, 1999), and criminal behaviour (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990; Baron, 2003; Moffitt et al., 2011). Research on the causes of self-control failure can aim to ameliorate some of these societal concerns. The current study therefore set out to explore whether impulsive behaviour could be predicted through goal motivation, as moderated by self-esteem. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (a) 15 minutes of personal social media use; or (b) 15 minutes of personal academic study, following which, all participants completed cognitive tasks as a measure of state self-control. Self-esteem was measured pre-manipulation through both implicit and explicit measures. Previous literature on social media has found its users to experience a short-term increase in state self-esteem (Toma, 2013). In contrast, the perception of negative academic performance causes a decrease in state self-esteem (Kernis, Brockner, & Frankel, 1989). Furthermore, this drop in state self-esteem lasts longer for individuals low in self-esteem (Metalsky, Halberstadt, & Abramson, 1987). An individual's motivation to pursue goals is determined by that individual's relationship with their environment (Ross & Nisbett, 2011). It was predicted in the current study that decreased motivation to approach, or increased motivation to avoid the pursuit of a goal, would lead to decreased self-control. As hypothesised, low implicit self-esteem individuals exhibited significantly less self-control following the performance of academic study than with social media. In contrast, high self-esteem individuals exhibited significantly less self-control following the performance of social media than with academic study.

Autism campaigner Fiona O'Leary abused online as a 'hatemonger' of Scientology
Catherine Sanz, Ireland Reporter
Fiona O'Leary was offered a €1,600 course to "detoxify" an autistic son
DES BARRY/IRISH EXAMINER
Scientologists have targeted a mother of two autistic sons through a website which claims she is among "hatemongers" who oppose the church.
Fiona O'Leary, 46, was referred to as a bigot by Stand League, an organisation affiliated with the Church of Scientology, because she disagrees with teachings by the movement on autism.
A post carried a detailed description of Ms O'Leary, an autism rights campaigner, with statements about her income and her family.
She complained to gardaí last year after she claimed a Scientology member offered her a €1,600 detoxification programme for one of her autistic sons. Purification Rundown is a trademark owned by the governing body of the Church of Scientology.

Puglia is famous for its coastal towns, crystal clear sea and beautiful sandy beaches. But the region offers actually also a beautiful countryside, full of treasures, beautiful trekking areas, rural areas, bucolic countryside and natural reserve areas which are the best place where to enjoy hiking and walking tours that will let you fall in love with this region.
We welcome you at the airport/train station and drive you to the accommodation. In the evening we go out for a welcome dinner in a restaurant. Indulge yourself with the colors, tastes and scents of Apulian cuisine, which call to mind the generous harvests of a luxurious countryside.
We will begin with a hiking tour in the middle of the fantastic countryside aroung Ostuni. Here we will hike about 2/3 hours (depending on you preparation) and we will admire the beautiful apulian countryside with beautiful and very ancient olive trees, mediterranean herbs, dry-stone walls. We will walk to a farmhouse "masseria" and see the most beautfiul and ancient olive trees of the area and an undreground olive oil mill which dates back to the pre-roman age. Here we will also have an olive oil tasting. After the hiking tour we will head to Ostuni. The white city of Ostuni sits atop the last hill of the southern Murgia plateau. During a trip to Puglia is definitely a place to see. We will take a walking tour through narrow streets lined with white-washed buildings, ending at the town's sophisticated Gothic cathedral.
We will begin with a hiking tour in the middle of the fantastic Itria Valley, while hiking (about 2/3 hours walking) we will admire the beautiful apulian countryside with beautiful and very ancient olive trees, mediterranean herbs, dry-stone walls and the "Trulli". After the hiking tour we will head to UNESCO WHS Alberobello. With its timeless, fairy-tale beauty, the town is Itria Valley's premier location to see trulli, the cone-shaped houses distinctive to Apulia, making it the most enchanting part of Italy's heel.

We will explore the protected marine area with its cliffs, bays, wetlands, and fresh water pools. The area is home to many plant and animal species. Our hike will end at the charming 16th Century tower that gives the park its name.

The ancient road, built by Emperor Trajan, is lined with dry-stone walls and centuries-old olive trees that protrude like odd-shaped monuments that contrast with the red earth and golden grain fields. The bike tour lasts a few hours and its level is pretty easy to do even if you are not an expert biker.
