Barcelona aren't expected to do much business in the January transfer window and you get the feeling that summer signings may be tricky too.
However, president Joan Laporta has vowed that the club will have "an even more competitive squad" in just two years' time.
Laporta also spoke about the title race and how determined Barcelona are to win the league and prove they are finally heading in the right direction.
"In the sporting field, we will go out and compete for everything. The priority objective is LaLiga. Clear and flat. The locker room is clear. And the truth is that we have a very young and competitive team, which we have also reinforced with players of proven experience," he said.
"In the summer we already did the work with the economic levers and in two years we will have an even more competitive squad. What is clear is that we want to win LaLiga to show that the recovery process is going well."
Barcelona's priorities seem to be a new right-back and a midfielder to replace Sergio Busquets, although any transfers are likely to happen in the summer at the earliest.

Federal judge halts Missouri ban on abortions at eight weeks and beyond
Ban on abortions at 8 weeks and beyond won't go into effect for now

A federal judge has temporarily halted a key provision of a new Missouri abortion law that was to take effect Aug. 28.
U.S. District Judge Howard Sachs issued a preliminary injunction blocking a ban on abortions at eight weeks and beyond, through the point of viability. A lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri challenged several provisions the Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act.
"However formulated, the legislation on its face conflicts with the Supreme Court ruling that neither legislative nor judicial limits on abortion can be measured by specified weeks of development of a fetus; instead, 'viability' is the sole test for a State's authority to prohibit abortions where there is no maternal health issue," Sachs wrote in his ruling.
Missouri law prohibits abortions after viability, which is determined by a physician. Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, the only remaining abortion clinic in Missouri, limits abortions up to 21 weeks and six days.
Attorney General Eric Schmitt's office said that it is currently reviewing the judge's order and deciding on next steps.
Archbishop Robert J. Carlson said that the judge's decision "does not change the truth that life begins at conception. All of us are responsible for protecting life, from conception to natural death. I urge those in positions of federal, state and local decision-making power to put politics aside, to consider the truth that all life has dignity, and to make decisions that will save the lives of the most innocent and vulnerable in our communities — the unborn."
He also previously acknowledged that the Archdiocese of St. Louis "is committed to providing support, services and life-sustaining education to women during and after pregnancy, especially those who may feel frightened, alone or contemplating abortion."
Sachs did not block a provision of the law that bans abortions of all babies, viable and non-viable, for reasons based on race, sex or Down syndrome diagnosis. Planned Parenthood said it would continue to fight that part of the law.
"The record here suggests that the proposed prohibition of certain controversial abortions affects only a small number of non-viable fetus abortions," Sachs wrote. "Opening up the subject for legislation could, however, logically reach more common reasons for early abortions, such as the prospective illegitimacy of babies born to unmarried girls and women. Illegitimacy being a frequently disfavored status, perhaps it may be treated as comparable to health issues or disfavored sex or race characteristics. While there is no known legislation to protect the prospectively illegitimate, such legislation for non-viable fetuses could be legally evaluated similarly to the issues here. We are thus dealing with a potentially large problem, numerically as well as intrinsically important."
"The most challenging and novel of the issues in this case is the State's attempt to prohibit all abortions (including those of non-viable fetuses) for special reasons that are deemed contrary to public policy," Sachs wrote. "The State would prohibit a pregnant woman's favoritism of males, for instance, or apparently healthy prospective infants while choosing to abort fetuses with disfavored characteristics. For present purposes I assume that almost everyone in our culture would be appalled by a pregnant woman's abortion of a fetus identified as female because the woman or the family preferred that she give birth to a boy. The legal issue is whether the public, through legislation, has a right to intervene and prohibit such a discriminatory or 'selective' abortion of a fetus before viability."
"As the father of a child with special needs, Attorney General Schmitt is particularly sensitive to suggestions that an unborn child who will have special needs is any lesser of a human being, and we're glad that provisions relating to that issue were left in place in the judge's ruling today," spokesman Chris Nuelle said in a statement.
Sachs also noted that the ban on abortions after eight weeks would have prohibited more than two-thirds of patients at Planned Parenthood in St. Louis from obtaining abortions, and about half of all reported abortions in Missouri. The impact of a 20-week ban would prohibit about 100 abortions performed each year at Planned Parenthood in St. Louis.
"Although we are grateful today's ruling allows us to provide care to some Missourians, we will continue to defend the truth: EVERY reason to have an abortion is a valid reason," said Dr. Colleen McNicholas, chief medical officer with Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region.
There are several other provisions of the law that went into effect Aug. 28. They include:
• enactment of the "Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act," which would ban all abortions in Missouri if Roe vs. Wade is overturned, or a federal Human Life Amendment is adopted or a federal Human Life bill is enacted;
• an increase on medical malpractice insurance requirements for those who perform or induce abortions and additional insurance requirements for doctors who induce abortions using chemicals or drugs;
• recognition that "almighty God is the author of life" and that Missouri is a "sanctuary of life" that protects pregnant women and unborn children.
• an expansion of the tax credit program for pregnancy resource centers. The program will now allow 70 percent of a donation to be tax-credit eligible; there will be "no limit imposed on the cumulative amount of tax credits that may be claimed by all taxpayers contributing to pregnancy resource centers," beginning Jan. 1, 2021.
The bill has an exception in cases where the mother is at risk of death or serious physical harm. However, there is no exception for cases of rape or incest. A provision requiring a second custodial parent to be notified when a minor is seeking an abortion (with certain exceptions) already went into effect in May.

Brazil: Neo-fascist Bolsonaro on the verge of victory
Redflagonline Wed, 10/10/2018 - 10:34
The massive political and trade union movements of Brazil's industrial workers, landless farmers and poor in the shantytowns, (favelas) face a deadly danger; the election of a semi-fascist, Jair Bolsonaro. He scored 49 million votes in the first round of the presidential elections, 46 per cent of the total, as against Fernando Haddad, the candidate of the Workers' Party, PT, who gained 31 million votes or 29 per cent. Without the solid support of the North East, where Haddad won 8 of the 9 states, Bolsonaro would have won outright in the first round.
Bolsonaro's rise has been spectacular. His Social Liberal Party, PSL, has also won 52 seats in the lower house, making it the second biggest party after the PT with 57 seats. In the 2014 legislative elections, it had only one seat in the lower house. Boosted into a media hero by the assassination attempt on him during his campaign, Bolsonaro is backed by extreme right forces in the military who he courted by praising the country's brutal military dictators who ruled the country from the 1960s to the 1980s.
For long regarded as just a right wing maverick, Bolsonaro has issued regular threats of violence against the workers' leaders and engaged in the foulest demagogy and hate speech against his black and mixed race countrymen and women, as well as against gays and indigenous peoples. This played well with a mass following amongst the privileged white middle class, especially in the Evangelical Christian churches. This social base is bitterly resentful of the limited reforms that PT presidents Lula da Silva and, to a lesser extent, Dilma Rousseff, enacted between 2002 and 2016.
The PT's rule was ended by a "legal" coup carried out by the Senate and Rouseff's vice president Michel Temer on 31 August 2016. Since then, Brazil has been in turmoil with regular mass demonstrations and one day general strikes and the country has failed to recover significantly from the economic collapse of 2014; growth was only 1 per cent in 2017-18. Resistance camapigns were organised by the PT and its associated mass formations like the Landless Workers' Movement, MST, and the trade union federation, CUT, as well as Brazils's significant far left parties like the Party of Liberation and Socialism, P-Sol.
However, to protest against a coup like Temer's but to hold back the masses from overthrowing him and the bourgeois parties and judges who supported him, has led to a situation where the forces of the right are determined to crush and pulverise the workers' and popular movement. They have no democratic inhibitions like the PT leaders, knowing that the Brazilan state machine is theirs and can be relied on to do their bidding.
Their aim is to install a savage regime of privatisation and neoliberal destruction of the social gains and trade union rights made over a third of a century. Women's, indigenous, landless and gay rights, and their defenders, will all come under attack.
Bolsonaro's main economic advisor, Paulo Guedes, former investment banker at Bozano Investimentos Ltd, having begun his career at the Chicago School of Economics, has said Brazil should privatise everything from the Banco do Brasil to the national oil company, Petróleo Brasileiro SA. "Sell it all," he said in an interview with Reuters, "Privatising cautiously, bashfully, just won't do."
In the second round, Fernando Haddad is now the only candidate who can stop Bolsonaro, but it is likely, indeed certain, that he will pursue the old PT strategy of cobbling together an alliance with pseudo-social democratic and even outright bourgeois parties of the centre and the centre right, around the idea of "saving democracy". This is the old "popular front" strategy for defeating fascism, which has been deployed with disastrous consequences, in 1936-9 in Spain and in Chile in 1973 for example. Temer himself was just such an ally!
The price such "allies" would demand is to abandon the feeble reformist programme and adopt theirs. Haddad has immediately stated: "I have complete tranquility in adjusting programme parameters so that it is the most representative of this broad Democratic alliance that we intend to make."
Whilst the working class never rejects the aid of other classes and their parties in a struggle to defend its vital interests, the emphasis must be on actual struggle on the streets and in the workplaces. The odds are stacked heavily against Haddad on the electoral terrain since it is likely the bourgeois parties will be more influenced by Bolsonaro's programme of looting the state industries and putting the workers and the poor on iron rations than by his threats to democracy. Internationally, whilst the Economist has warned of the danger of Bolsonaro, the Financial Times is much more circumspect, eyeing his neoliberal reforms with favour. For sure, Trump will not condemn a semi-fascist regime in Brazil.
Despite the adverse electoral situation, on the field of the class struggle all is far from lost. The unions and parties of the workers and peasants can still mobilise their millions to block the road to fascism or any return to military rule. Any democratic mandate for Bolsonaro will be the result of a gigantic fraud. Brazilian democracy was undermined long before the election by the parliamentary coup and by the judicial prevention of Lula's candidacy and his imprisonment.
Bolsonaro's following is still far from being an organised fascist movement that can stand up to the working class and the rural poor, unless the latter remain passive or paralysed by their reformist leaderships. Obviously, the existing fascist groups and the armed thugs of the employers and landowners can provide the cadres for such a movement but the pampered petit bourgeoisie will quail before a determined proletarian resistance.
Nor, whatever the reactionary appetites of its commanders, have the armed forces been won to taking over responsibility not only for the ailing economy but for suppressing a huge workers' movement. Everything depends on the working class mobilising its forces and showing its determination not to lose its rights or its social gains without a bitter struggle. Such determination will likely fragment the bourgeois forces and make some of them think twice.
So what can be done in the weeks before the second round on 28 October? Before the first round, our co-thinkers in Brazil had already spelt it out:
"We in the Socialist League have argued that left-wing parties need to build a united front to face the coup and reactionary right, and also to defeat the combination of military bonapartism and fascism, whose leader is Bolsonaro. ….We have to organise working class resistance by creating committees at workplaces, schools, neighbourhoods not just for voting, but for the ongoing struggle for our rights and democratic freedoms."
The world working class movement must actively aid our brothers and sisters in Brazil. The one and a half million members of the PT, its allied organisations and its tens of millions of voters, are the major force of our class in Latin America and one of the strongest in the world. A historic defeat for them would throw the global balance of forces still further to the right. It would encourage the forces of reaction in other countries to similar acts, just as the defeat in Chile in 1973 did. The labour movements in Europe and North America, in Africa and Asia, must render all assistance possible to the Brazilian workers and do all we can prevent our own governments from supporting Bolsonaro.

Q: Imac stuck on boot screen I know that this is a recurring topic but wondered if any one of you is experiencing this issue with mac os high sierra?
I don't know what really happened on the eve; but the day after when i switched it on i got stuck on the boot screen with the apple logo and progress bar completed.
I did run the disk utility tool and found no issues with the hard disks. I also notice that holding down the shift key to enter the safe mode does nothing to it; still same screen.
Other key combinations are failing like resetting nvram.
I got work to complete and this is costing me too much time.
Thanks and kind regards,
Avinash

A: I had to format the Mac and did a clean install. This solved it.

A: Had the same issue. Tried everything, even reinstalling the OS again (not deleting data) and it didn't help. I solved it by installing the os on an external HD through the recovery of mac (cmd+r on startup), booting my mac from that external HD, retrieving my data (with Migration Assistant), then deleting my internal HD, reinstalling the OS there, and migrating again from the external HD to the internal HD. Took me endless hours because the drives aren't SSD, but I finally managed to boot to my mac without being stuck after the login with almost no data loss. Hope that helps.

		The RNG is a Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) in the form: `x_{n + 1} = (a x_n + c) % m`

		Where: `x_0` is the seed, `x_n` is the random number after n iterations,

		````
		a = 0x5D588B656C078965
		c = 0x00269EC3
		m = 2^64
		````

		Javascript doesnt handle such large numbers properly, so this function does it in 16-bit parts.
		````
		x_{n + 1} = (x_n * a) + c
		````

		Let any 64 bit number:
		````
		n = (n[0] << 48) + (n[1] << 32) + (n[2] << 16) + n[3]
		````

		Then:
		````
		x_{n + 1} =
			((a[3] x_n[0] + a[2] x_n[1] + a[1] x_n[2] + a[0] x_n[3] + c[0]) << 48) +
			((a[3] x_n[1] + a[2] x_n[2] + a[1] x_n[3] + c[1]) << 32) +
			((a[3] x_n[2] + a[2] x_n[3] + c[2]) << 16) +
			a[3] x_n[3] + c[3]
		````

		Which can be generalised where b is the number of 16 bit words in the number:
		````
		((a[b-1] + x_n[b-1] + c[b-1]) << (16 * 0)) +
		((a[b-1] x_n[b-2] + a[b-2] x_n[b-1] + c[b-2]) << (16 * 1)) +
		((a[b-1] x_n[b-3] + a[b-2] x_n[b-2] + a[b-3] x_n[b-1] + c[b-3]) << (16 * 2)) +
		...
		((a[b-1] x_n[1] + a[b-2] x_n[2] + ... + a[2] x_n[b-2] + a[1] + x_n[b-1] + c[1]) << (16 * (b-2))) +
		((a[b-1] x_n[0] + a[b-2] x_n[1] + ... + a[1] x_n[b-2] + a[0] + x_n[b-1] + c[0]) << (16 * (b-1)))
		````

		Which produces this equation:
		````
		\sum_{l=0}^{b-1}\left(\sum_{m=b-l-1}^{b-1}\left\{a[2b-m-l-2] x_n[m]\right\}+c[b-l-1]\ll16l\right)
		````

		Notice how the `a[]` word starts at `b-1`, and decrements every time it appears again on the line;
		`x_n[]` starts at `b-<line#>-1` and increments to b-1 at the end of the line per line, limiting the length of the line;
		`c[]` is at `b-<line#>-1` for each line and the left shift is `16 * <line#>`)

		This is all ignoring overflow/carry because that cannot be shown in a pseudo-mathematical equation.
		The below code implements a optimised version of that equation while also checking for overflow/carry.

The objectives of the MobiWebApp European research project that W3C is leading include disseminating knowledge of the current work inside W3C that facilitate the creation of mobile Web applications, as well as building a standardization roadmap that identifies the gap in the current standardization landscape.
I have just published an important first step in that direction: the Mobile Web Applications standards: February 2011 current state and roadmap represents a first attempt at compiling all the mobile-relevant Web applications technologies in development in W3C.
It is a work in progress, a picture of the current state that I plan to update regularly, probably every three months.
It has not received wide review yet, so the data it includes should be taken with caution, since it likely contain mistakes that will be fixed based on the feedback we receive.
Please send bug reports, suggestions, and general feedback to dom@w3.org, and I'll do my best to integrate it in the next version of the document.

POSITIVE NEWS FOR THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
TLC star and Oregon-native gets married
by Adrienne Speer | Jul 28, 2015 | COMMUNITY, OPINION | 0 comments
Those of us who grew up watching the TLC reality show Little People, Big World were in for a heart-warming thrill with the news of Zach Roloff's wedding this past weekend.
Zach (25) and his bride, Tori Patton (24), wed at his parent's farm in Hillsboro, Oregon on Saturday, July 25th. The couple had been engaged for more than a year; the countdown began last May after Zach proposed to Tori in an open field.
According to People Magazine, the wedding was nature-inspired and took place by a gazebo in front of a specially planted field of wheat. The bride wore an ivory dress with a chiffon-like skirt and a lacy, detailed bodice. Zach was quick to tell People magazine that the 200 guests made him feel a little nervous: "Neither of us are spotlight kind of people." However, he also said the two of them are "looking forward to setting their lives in motion."
Zach, who was born with dwarfism to two parents with dwarfism, has had unique issues to cope with in his lifetime. But despite adversity, and with support from Little People, Big World's fan base and his supportive family, he has thrived and is now embarking on his own journey with his beautiful new wife.

SolarCity will start making the panels it installs after acquiring a manufacturer.
Elon Musk's other superstar company, SolarCity, announced a deal Tuesday that Musk believes will result in the world's largest solar panel plant.
Solar City (SCTY) said it is buying panel maker Silevo in a blog post Tuesday. Peter Rive, SolarCity chief technology officer and co-founder, said the $350 million acquisition will lead to a factory in Buffalo, N.Y., and create more than 1,000 jobs within the next two years.
The plant will be "one of the single largest solar panel production plants in the world," according to the post, and it will be followed by one or more even bigger facilities in subsequent years. Rive said he hopes SolarCity will eventually create several thousand panel-making jobs.
On Twitter, Musk's personal feed posted "SolarCity to build the world's largest advanced solar panel factory in upstate New York" with a link to the blog post.
Musk is also the chief executive officer of Tesla Motors (TSLA) and SpaceX.
Until now, SolarCity has purchased its solar panels from other manufacturers. Rive said the acquisition will finally allow the company to make its own photovoltaic panels.
The company acknowledged that there is currently excess capacity in the solar panel industry on its blog. But SolarCity said the panels made by Silevo will produce a lot of energy at a low cost, and that the facility in Buffalo positions the industry for future growth.
SolarCity shares jumped 11% on the announcement. The company currently employs 6,000 workers at operation centers around the country.

Everyone's Entitled to their Opinion
Yes, indeed they are. Everyone is entitled to hold their own particular opinion. In this democracy of ideas, every longshot, wingnut, bonehead, rogue, charlatan, conspiracy theorist, crank, crony and astroturfer should be permitted access to the microphone on the stage. If we hold a public meeting about immigration, we should, of course, invite a white supremicist, a member of the British National Party, and a Daily Mail journalist to offer us their wise words. If we hold a sociological symposium on the Second World War, we should of course invite a Holocaust-denier. If an engineering conference, a cold fusion-in-a-test-tube enthusiast. Of course we should provide balance, as much balance as possible, and offer wisdom, insight and rant from all ends of all spectra. It's only reasonable.
It therefore goes without question that somebody from the Global Warming Policy Foundation "think tank", so copiously and generously sponsored by a person or persons unknown, should be invited to speak on the platform, or in a panel, at a well-funded quasi-establishment meeting on Climate Change. Regardless of a complete lack of training in atmospheric physics, or even knowledge of the span of the last five years in the science of global warming, naturally, a GWPF man must be invited by GovToday to a presitigious conference to be held on 29th November 2011 in the City of London grandly entitled "2011 Carbon Reduction : The Transition to a Low Carbon Economy".
Jennifer Elson telephoned me on 18th November 2011, to proudly inform me that she could offer a funded place at this conference, and that GovToday was keen to reach senior decision makers in my network. GovToday, she assured me, has access to the Carbon Trust (cue the name-dropping), the UK Government Department of Energy and Climate Cange and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. She excitedly offered the GovToday strategy – to build long-term strategic relationships, from Ministerial level right through to the Third Sector. My goodness, in the last few days, literally, she had been talking to organisations about hydropower, local produce, timber framing – a third of the cost of building with brick. Was I not impressed ?
Yes, on 29th November, 2011 Carbon Reduction would be chaired and ably facilitated by Krishnan Guru Murthy. "Ah", I said, "Channel 4", realising finally that this was to be a media-friendly event. Stefaan Vergote, she said, would be there – big in Europe he is, and they would also have Benny Peiser of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.
"What gives him the right to speak at this event ?", I asked, incredulous. "He has no relevant academic expertise". The young thing on the other end of the phone was a tad flummoxed. "I'm relatively new to this organisation", she rushed, "his view is controversial. There are a minority who share his opinion. We want to get everyone's perspective."
"You're putting him on a platform", I said. "Everyone's entitled to their view", she reasoned. "You need research to back it up", I replied.
"He's very passionate", she claimed. "But does he know anything ?", I countered. "The GWPF do not have the credentials, according to a large number of experts. I find it absolutely astonishing that you should invite him."
"We're putting him on the panel to question the policymakers", she offered, "…cause a bit of controversy. Without someone posing these sorts of questions [there would be no debate]. He's the voice of the sceptics."
"Why should he be there ?" I asked. "It's important that all views be represented", she responded. I started to pick up my voluminous carpet bag of umbrage, "Not all views are important. Not all views are relevant. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but everyone is not entitled to their own facts. Opinions are different from academic [and practical] expertise…"
She sounded miffed, "We have many people attending with expertise." "But apparently he doesn't", I asserted, "why do you need to offer a balance when it's a minority view and he doesn't possess a relevant academic or professional qualification ? I mean, would you have to invite a member of the English Defence League to a public debate on border controls ?"
At this, she put me on to her line manager, the ebullient Ron Pusey, Head of Delegates. He was truculent, "You haven't got an argument." Au contraire, Ronny boy, "The events we put forward are balanced. To balance the argument we must include climate change denial. The Global Warming Policy Foundation have a [track record]. The worst thing would be a political vacuum – where [there's only one point of view expressed]…", he rattled on, probably not quite believing what he was spewing.
"You're welcome to put forward who you like", he offered, and I thought, my network doesn't have the kind of funding and available staff to take on climate change deniers in public debate.
"Why do you respect that organisation ?" I asked. "I respect their right to get involved", he replied, which would have actually been quite a fair argument, had the playing field been level, "I would restrict some people…[but it's] essential that people be able to express themselves." Yeah, right, it would be great if more people could get to express themselves in public debate, but not everybody has the time, funding or presentational skills.
Ronny challenged me to come out from hiding behind the telephone. "You've got an opportunity to get engaged", he raised. "I'm not going to waste my time", I volunteered. I mean, if they are going to invite Benny Peiser to speak at a climate change meeting, they clearly have no idea about the issue.
The real frontline, the significant debates in climate change, are not about whether it's happening (it is), or even how bad it's going to get (it will). And the technologies to mitigate climate change are the same as they ever were – no debate required : energy conservation, carbon displacement and renewable energy. The central debate, in actual fact, is about whether policy sticks or policy carrots will have the greatest effect. Most people seem to think that carbon taxation, carbon pricing, carbon trading and carbon penalties are the way to go. Others think that paying for the things we want is more productive than charging for the things we don't want.
"We've spent an extra quarter of a million pounds in putting on events", he levelled. Clearly, the money has not been well-spent, when they cannot even collect the know-how together to work out who is best to invite to a climate change policy event.
I said I wasn't interested in joining in with a fixed fight. He should know, but perhaps he doesn't, that climate change deniers use public debating methods like the Gish Gallop, basically filibustering people with nonsense. "You can't bring 200 years of science to a 15 minute debate", I said. You can't even properly present two "sides" in an hour-long panel discussion. "It's an artificial debate that you have set up. Why should I get involved in your event when you invite Benny Peiser to the platform ? You're on the wrong track."
Ron tried one last fake conciliatory gesture, "It's really lovely that you care enough…". I interrupted, "If you knew more you wouldn't invite unhelpful participants. You don't care. Do you have a public relations background ?"
Ron did not. He said he had worked in media, and been a volunteer on a carbon project, building stuff out in Sri Lanka. Then he got huffy. "You're an academic, right ? What do you know about actually doing stuff ?" and he threw the phone down.
Ron, Ron, Ron. Academics are the people who have been collecting your global warming and climate change data. They are the people who really know what's happening, not some pseudo-experts with undeclared financing.

One thought on "Everyone's Entitled to their Opinion"
Ron Mortimer says:
While I really do admire your passion for green issues in general and the CAGW story in particular,and with which I completely disagree, I would never, ever try to shut you or anyone else up about it. Be very careful of wanting to exclude, because one day the wheel will turn and you will be the one excluded, to the detriment of all of us. You are very tribal, a quality not restricted to any particular group, and which has many great aspects of solidarity, but I don't want to live in a tribal world, at least where science and truth is involved.
The latest climategate emails show this quality and it is not a flattering look. They have shot themselves in the foot(and head, stomach and head and each other, numerously)by playing the game of insiders/outsiders, us/them or believers/heretics.They are supposed to be above all that(OK, I know they are human etc and all that entails) but really, if they indulge in such tribal behaviour then there is no example of how things should be and simply breeds cynicism, which really is dangerous IMO. Think, Jo, of all the truly great thinkers in this world, and their contributions, to all of us, not just their own tribe.
To your points, if Benny Peiser was so unqualified to speak then why is he such an obvious threat? He could be humiliated easily if he was so ignorant, even by a question from the audience. Here's that tribal thing again, I doubt that its because he's "ignorant" but because he's an outsider, and he's probably pretty good too, a double threat. As a pretty smart woman how can you not defuse/derail a Gish Gallop, if that is all it really is about?
" "Why should he be there ?" I asked. "It's important that all views be represented", she responded. I started to pick up my voluminous carpet bag of umbrage, "Not all views are important. Not all views are relevant. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but everyone is not entitled to their own facts. Opinions are different from academic [and practical] expertise…" "
This comes over as quite self righteous, even though it is true that not everyone is entitled to their own facts.The question is, who gets to decide what is factual and what isn't?That applies to both sides of this particular debate(and it is indeed a debate, regardless if one side tries to deny there is any room for a debate).
You may not be aware of this in the same way many of us have been, and that is how absolutely one sided the AGW propaganda campaign has been( as all agit/prop campaigns are) and how relentless they were especially 3 or so years ago in Australia. Everything became linked to CC, news, special reports, radio, print all about CC, all one sided. That is what pushed many people I know over the edge as they realise that it was political campaign, not an evenhanded evaluation.
Now the wheel is turning, hence the need for a :"sceptic" to be on board for these events.It will get worse and the warmists will find themselves getting excluded. That is not good either, but that is tribal rules, winner take all, all very fine until one stops winning.
cheers Ron

In this course we look at different ways to approach the learning and teaching of grammar in EFL. There is an important methodological component dealing with areas such as NLP and Learning Styles, Multiple Intelligences and Creativity. We work at two different levels, on the one hand we explore interesting or problematic issues as language learners in the grammatical areas chosen, on the other we look at ways of facilitating the learning process of our students in these areas.
We also address areas of cross-curricular and content teaching as well as issues connected with language learning and art.
This course is directed at teachers and other professionals with an advanced level of English who would like to brush up and improve their language proficiency in the four skills.
This innovative and dynamic course aims at increasing your fluency, expanding your word power and polishing use as well as usage of the language.
Participants can regulate amount of work and intensity by including optional work packs and do additional vocabulary building work.
Suggested Days: Fridays or Saturdays.
All there is to know about vocabulary building and acquisition in EFL/ESL lessons. Both theory and practice will be dealt with in this highly useful and practical course.
In module I semantic and psycholinguistic foundations will be looked into and practice lessons to master these will be designed.
In module II we will be looking into areas such as lexicography, prototype theory, L1/L2 mental lexicons compared, slang and other interesting options.
For further information contact us for an interview!
We are also organizing courses to prepare for ICELT and CELTYL from University of Cambridge.
What will the course programme cover?
Language development: to improve candidates ability to use English for classroom purposes.
Methodology: to develop candidates awareness of phonology, grammar, vocabulary, discourse, learning theories and how to apply ELT methodology in practice in the classroom.
Practical teaching: to develop practical teaching ability including ability in classroom management and lesson planning and in developing the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in practice in the classroom.
Assessment is on a continuous basis. The areas of language development and methodology are assessed by written assignments. The assessment of practical teaching is based on four observed lessons with the candidates own classes. Candidates must pass in all three areas in order to be awarded a certificate.
Each course is moderated by an external moderator, approved and appointed by UCLES.
What qualifications and experience are required to join a course?
The ICELT course is an early in-service training course for practising teachers who have relevant classroom experience with children or adults.
Candidates should be 19 years of age and have a level of English equivalent to CPE.
What quality assurance mechanisms are there?
All centres are approved by UCLES.
Every course is moderated by an external moderator.
Every centre is allocated a Joint Chief Assessor who monitors standards at the centre.
Briefing meetings are held on a regular basis for centres and moderators.
The Cambridge English Language Teaching Candidate Charter enables candidates to raise any issue of concern with the centre or with UCLES via the centre.
A Cambridge English Language Teaching Equal Opportunities policy is in place.


Phreak has begun selling its "identity harvesting services" to fraudsters, charging $600 for data that might be applied to targeted phishing attacks, ID fraud or other nefarious purposes. Would-be clients are able to contact the gang on ICQ. For a fee the gang will filter its database for entries that refer to a particular country or particular employer.
Jacques Erasmus, director of research at PrevX, explained that he came across adverts for the tool in an underground forum. The PHP-based utility uses built-in recruiter IDs to trawl jobsites and return results in a handy web form, he explained.
"This is way beyond email harvesting tools. The utility is quite sophisticated and attempts to make sense of the data format found in CVs, extracting only useful information," Erasmus told The Register. "Phreak is selling its services to people running higher-end [targeted] spear phishing attacks."
Jobsites have been a target for data sniffing attack for some time. PrevX said the latest attack is distinct from one carried out by a Trojan horse program last year.
This time around the attack affects far more sites than Monster.com alone. Also the attack involves a harvesting engine, rather than the use of malware.
Job sites might be able to guard against the latest assault on user data by limiting the number of searches a "recruiter" can carry out or by applying CAPTCHAs, Erasmus explained.

A Levi's Stadion amerikai futball stadion a kaliforniai Santa Clarában, San José mellett, San Francisco Bay Areában. A National Football League-ben (NFL) szereplő San Francisco 49ers otthona 2014 óta. A stadion San Franciscótól délre, 64 kilométerre található, a Levi Strauss & Co. 2013-ban vásárolta meg elnevezési jogát.

2006-ban a 49ers javasolták először egy új stadion felépítését, akkor a Candlestick Pointnál, San Franciscóban, előző stadionjuk, a Candlestick Park helyén. A projekt, aminek részeként fejlesztették volna a teljes városrészt, beleértve boltokat és házakat is építettek volna, végül nem született meg, miután nem tudtak megegyezni a várossal. Ezt követően a csapat inkább a Santa Clarában található irodáikhoz és edzőközpontjukhoz közel kerestek helyet a stadionnak.

2010 júniusában a Santa Clara-i választópolgárok megszavazták az adózástól mentes Santa Clara Stadium Authority létrehozását, a stadion felépítésére. A kölcsönt a stadion felépítésére 2011 decemberében szerezték meg, négy hónappal később kezdődött meg az építkezés. A stadion 2014. július 17-én nyílt meg.

A Levi's Stadion adott otthon a Pac-12 amerikai futball bajnoki mérkőzésnek, 2014-től 2019-ig, mielőtt az esemény Las Vegas-ba költözött volna. 2016. február 7-én itt rendezték az ötvenedik Super Bowlt. A 2026-os labdarúgó-világbajnokság idején több mérkőzésnek is otthont fog adni.

I often change my travel plans on the spot. Especially when I am passing near a place that I realize it may be interesting for one of the thousands of reasons I usually chose for travel. When on my way to Luckenwalde, Trebbin was an appealing option for some extra hiking in the Nathe-Nieplitz Natural Park, but somehow it was a bit too late getting a full taste of the place so decided to book a day there the next week.
In less than 30 minutes by train from Berlin Südkreuz train station, I arrived together with other people happy that the weather is getting warm enough for biking around Berlin. The surrounding enthusiasm almost made me ignore the relatively end-of-the world feeling of the train station.
The more I am getting away from the train station, direction Bahnhofstrasse, Berlinerstrasse, the views are getting better and better. As Trebbin is very close to Beelitz and part of the 'asparagus route', there were many charts selling Germany's favorite spring veggie. Very often though, the precious asparagus - or rhubarb, or eggs or some other local products - were just left in the front of the house with a small piggy bank nearby where to leave the money after the self-service. I've seen this in Werder last year and it is relatively common practice in the small localities around Berlin. It is a system based on trust which seems to function very well in small communities.
In the history of German literature, the 800-year old Trebbin is singled out as the place of birth of Hans Clauert/Clawert, a character from the chronicle of Eulenspiegel. His fictional memory is celebrated with a joyful representation in the front of the city hall which reminded me of the Calauers', also in the area around Berlin.
The building of the city hall, with a row of palms in the front, looks a bit more like a little rich bourgeois mansion than a serious bureaucratic institution.
As it was weekend, everything was closed, but would have been a bit curious to have a look inside the building, as many such institutions in Germany do have some interesting halls or interior decorations.
Our trip continues with Luckenwaldestrasse and the streets around, bordered by timbered houses out of time, colourful and well preserved.
Many of the shops are also out of time - not necessarily a compliment, especially if you look at the ones selling clothes, very fashionable probably in the early 1960s - but do also have some very homely hobby ones, inviting you to have a look, if not to purchase anything.
But all those observations and things I see on my way are secondary, as my main aim for this trip is to do as much hiking as our feet can in the Nathe Nieplitz Natural Park. After such a harsh cold winter, I want and need green landscapes to soak my eyes into. Take care what do you wish for, as I am rewarded generously with peaceful views.
The ways through the forest are equally beautiful, with majestic trees covered in ivy or green leaves.
Or magic landscapes where you may expect some fantastic creatures to cross your ways. Nothing so far happened to us, with no single soul around to bother our zen world.
Nothing compares to the view of the fields in the summer, with their golden yellows and touches of green, blessed by the geenrous rays of light.
Far from being a countryside girl - at least not when it comes to assuming the survival chores required for such a lifestyle - yet fascinated by the beauty of nature that I cannot understand, only describe in sometimes cheesy words.
We keep walking and walking, with a short stop for refreshing with water, fruits and some snacks. People are biking or walking their dogs near us, uttering polite 'hellos' or just fast forwarding at high speed. Is place for all of us under the sun, after all.
I can hardly put the camera aside, trying to catch in my pictures as much balance and love for nature and peace that can help me when back in my busy urban life.
Urban life that in fact I cannot stay away from more than a couple of hours. My nature voyeurism ends soon and I am back on concrete, looking for some more houses and familiar signs of human life.
But when a place like Trebbin is situated in the middle of such a beautiful wild landscape, the separation between 'nature' and 'culture' is never complete and both sides of life are there to remind you to pick up only what really matters in life.
German is such a lovely country and full of those cute villages!
Definitely! Especially in the summer, there is so much beauty around!


It's a habit in Cammeray. You can also try driving or even overtaking in East Avenue and Tiley Street.
If you're naughty, I'll make you go out the back and play.
Hazardous steps in Dampier Street, Chifley.
Clareville is one of Sydney's most northerly suburbs. It enjoys a couple of Sydney's steepest hills, whether for cars or step-climbers. These steps get you from Hudson Parade to Pittwater.
Clifton Gardens must be a supporter of the South Sydney football team if the steps above the beach at Clifton Gardens are any guide.
I walked down these stairs from Tower Street, Coogee, without realising that they were anything of note. When I looked back up the ordinary became the extraordinary.

CCTV.com Taps ViewCast for Live Streaming of Olympics
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 - 2:20 pm
CCTV.com, the online
division of China Central Television (CCTV), China's primary television
broadcaster, has deployed ViewCast's Osprey-530 digital video capture
cards with SimulStream technology to enable live streaming
of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing to the CCTV.com Web site. A
product of ViewCast Corporation, the
Osprey-530 cards are installed throughout CCTV.com's broadcasting
headquarters in downtown Beijing.
CCTV.com has been granted
the exclusive rights to stream the Olympic content by the International
Olympic Committee. As a longtime user of Osprey-530 cards for other
mobile streaming applications, CCTV.com deployed additional cards to be
used primarily for streaming Olympic content to the Web. Each Olympic
event has its own dedicated Osprey-530 card, which takes the live video
feed from the broadcast and processes it for encoding in all of the
most common streaming formats for Internet and wireless users. The
Osprey-530s were supplied by EZY-Tech, a ViewCast master distributor
for Hong Kong and mainland China.
"We have an excellent
track record with the Osprey-530 cards, and CCTV.com chose them for
streaming the Olympics not only because of their reliability and high
performance, but also their ability to encode content in different
formats for a variety of mobile devices simultaneously," says Dennis
Lee, managing director of EZY-Tech.
The Osprey-530 is
designed to be a comprehensive solution for the needs of streaming
media professionals. Its features include closed caption extraction
from analog and serial digital interface (SDI) inputs, preprocessing of
video for inverse telecine and de-interlacing and real-time bitmap
overlay for branding of video. ViewCast's Osprey cards are ideal for delivering video to any number of encoding formats such as Windows Media, Adobe Flash, H.264, and 3GPP in both narrowband and broadband streaming applications.
"The 2008 Olympic Games
have been nicknamed 'The Broadband Olympics,' and with good reason," says
Gary J.
Klembara, ViewCast's senior vice president of sales. "
Sports fans worldwide will be able to watch live coverage of their
favorite events from any location, and on a variety of mobile devices —
and advanced streaming technology makes it possible. Since the
CCTV.com audience is so huge — one of the world's largest TV viewing
audiences — we're pleased with the role ViewCast is playing to deliver
all the action to such a significant percentage of viewers."


End of the World festival is back in 2019; a small stoner/doom/psych/metal festival in the South West of the UK. Run by bands for a passion and love of Doom. Two venues, and some of the best underground doom (and sub genres) that the UK has to offer!!! This is as grassroots as possible, being our third event and building on the success of 2017 and 2018!!
Two venues on Mutley Plain, Plymouth, numerous food shops on the street, carparking nearby.
Heres some links to accommodation in and around Plymouth, airbnb also has a fantastic selection in the city centre.


A rich and flavourful Madagascan dark chocolate, perfect for cooking and baking.
The dark is exceptionally smooth with a pleasant buttery texture. In addition to berries and raisins the bar has a light spice. A initial aroma of black pepper develops into a strong roasted notes full of dried fruits. We also detected an usual hint of acidity leading to a balsamic finish.
This a 1kg block of organic dark chocolate couverture.
