Salvage Numbers Continue to Climb After Hurricane Irma
After Hurricane Irma blasted its way through Florida, government officials and salvage crews have recovered approximately 1,500 vessels, according to an article by the Sun Sentinel.
The U.S. Coast Guard reports that cleaning up boat accidents and damage after the hurricane has rung up $12.5 million in costs thus far. The final cost is estimated to be in the range of $20 million. At this point, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is paying for 75 percent of those costs, with the state of Florida covering the remaining 25 percent.
By the end of October, recovery efforts led to the salvage of 1,492 vessels. While salvage efforts took place all over the state, there are several concentrated pockets, including the:
Florida Keys with 1,101 salvaged vessels;
Greater St. Petersburg area with 265 salvaged vessels;
Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties with 69 salvaged vessels; and
Greater Jacksonville area with 57 salvaged vessels.
Considering the widespread impact of this news development, it feels like a great time to review the law of salvage.
What is the Law of Salvage?
The law of salvage provides a mechanism to reward people for helping out when a vessel or its cargo are in danger. Often referred to legally as "peril," a vessel can be considered in danger if it is abandoned, sinking, lacking crew or seized by pirates.
A person who provides aid to a vessel or its cargo is referred to legally as a "salvor." In order to qualify as a salvor, a person must intend to rescue a vessel or its cargo. It is not a requirement that the salvor actually render aid. So long as the salvor intends to commit a rescue – and is actually capable of conducting a rescue – then there may be a claim for salvage.
In order for the law of salvage to apply to a particular situation, there are three major conditions:
The vessel or its cargo is lost at sea or other waterway;
The salvor located or rescued the vessel or its cargo; and
The salvor acted in a way that benefited the vessel or its cargo.
The last condition of the law of salvage is particularly important. The salvor must act in a way that benefits the vessel or its cargo. Stated otherwise, the salvor cannot take reckless action that puts the vessel or its cargo in further danger or risk of damage.

Q: Clarification about Android clipToPadding property I was working with animations recently, and got into trouble, when FrameLayout did not show its shadow properly due to weird reasons.
I found a good answer, which helped me, but there was used a property called clipToPadding. Answer can be found here: Android "elevation" not showing a shadow
However, I really wanted to understand the purpose of this property. I went to documentation of Android, which states that:

Defines whether the ViewGroup will clip its children and resize (but
  not clip) any EdgeEffect to its padding, if padding is not zero. This
  property is set to true by default.

I have read it for many times and I looked for examples on the web, but I really failed to find some. The only visuals I found was similar to this ClipToPadding difference
I can see the effect on the list, but how can it affect, when there is only one View in the ViewGroup for example etc.
It would be nice if someone could provide me a few key points about this property and how it works with a few examples.

A: clipToPadding basically means "If the view draws beyond its bounds into the padding area, overwrite this drawing with the parent's padding".
The shadow of an elevated view is drawn outside of the view's bounds. In order for it to be visible, you need to make sure that there is space around the view. You can achieve this by setting padding on the parent, but then you need to set clipToPadding=false so that the shadow is not overwritten.
As noted in this answer, this is also useful when you have a scrollable view such as a ListView or RecyclerView. When scrolling the list will draw contents out of its bounds. If you set clipToPadding=false, you'll be able to see that content instead of the padding, and only see the padding when you've completely scrolled up or down.
As an example, let's set an oval shape as background of a view and let's elevate this view. We'll also set some padding on the container. The screenshot below was taken with "Show layout bounds" activated in the Developers options. The area between the two red rectangles is the parent's padding.

This is how it looks with clipToPadding=true, notice how the shadow is clipped at the bottom, where it would lie between the two red rectangles:

With clipToPadding=false, we see the whole shadow:

Here is the XML I used:
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:background="#8888ff">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingLeft="40dp"
        android:paddingRight="40dp"
        android:paddingTop="20dp"
        android:paddingBottom="20dp"
        android:clipToPadding="false"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true">

        <View
            android:layout_width="170dp"
            android:layout_height="170dp"
            android:background="@drawable/oval"
            android:alpha="0.5"
            android:elevation="5dp"
            />

    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

And here is is the oval drawable:
<shape android:shape="oval">
        <solid android:color="#f2f2f2"/>
</shape>

Fools, Chaucer and Welles
In trying to trace the roots of April Fool's Day, the path through history to the truth is anything but clear. It is reminiscent of the history of Valentine's Day, a seemingly obvious holiday in honor of Saint Valentinus. But, in reality, there is more fiction than fact to the story. One commonly held belief is that April Fool's Day dates back to that most famous Pope Gregory XIII. When in 1582 he supplanted the Julian Calendar with the modern Gregorian one, he not only reset Spring, he also changed the beginning of the New Year. In the Julian calendar, people typically celebrated the beginning of the new year with the start of spring which was celebrated at the end of march or the beginning of April. In the Gregorian calendar, the new year clearly began on January 1. Lacking 24 hour news, cell phones, and email, the news was a little slow to circulate. Those negligent to the changes were still celebrating the onset of the new year on April 1. The more enlightened crowd looked at those who were remiss as a bit silly and dubbed them "April Fools".
Whether this is the true origin of April Fool's Day or not, I cannot say for certain. There are some other dark horse theories out there, which I am typically inclined to side with, but in this case, I'll go with the crowd favorite. Besides, I like to go with the Popes. I am hoping that perhaps it may lessen my time in Purgatorio.
Geoffrey Chaucer, or at least his enthusiasts, can not stop from trying to weave themselves into history. First, it was the initial literary mention of Valentines Day, and now the first mention of April Fools Day. What next, did Chaucer first chronicle Easter? I think not. In any event, there is a common misconception that the first reference to April Fool's Day dates back to The Canterbury Tales, written circa 1392.
In the Nun's Priest's Tale, Chaucer tells the story of the vain cock, Chauntecler, who falls for the tricks of a fox, and as a consequence is almost eaten. The narrator describes the tale as occurring:
When that the monthe in which the world bigan
That highte March, whan God first maked man,
Was complet, and passed were also
Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two.
There is some ambiguity as to the translation. While some scholars associate the 32 days to the start of March, others ascribe it to the end of the month. Thus, it either pertains to April 1, or May 3. Because the Nun's Priest Tale is essentially the story of a prank perpetrated upon the "foolish" cock by the sly fox, it is easy to see why choosing the date of April 1 would conveniently fit this theory. If it is a reference to April Fool's Day, then it would be the earliest recorded reference to the day. However, Chaucer's choice of words is extremely ambiguous, and most scholars think he meant May 3, since that would be "thritty dayes and two" after March "was complet."
Perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated upon the American public, the current presidency notwithstanding, was the radio production of The War of the Worlds, written by H.G. Wells. The book portrays an alien invasion of Earth. The radio show was produced by a young Orson Welles and aired as a Halloween episode on October 30, 1938. As the show was aired without commercial interruption, and was portrayed as a series of newscast bulletins, the show had a very real atmosphere about it. A large number of people were duped by the show, lighting up the switchboards of the local authorities. Welles gained significant notoriety and went on to a rather illustrious career in show business, producing and directing Citizen Kane, as well as The Magnificent Ambersons. As some of you may recall from a previous post, Orson Welles was famously quoted on his take on the Negroni, "The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you. They balance each other." I take exception with his description of gin as being bad for you. We all know that it is actually quite medicinal. But what did he know, he pulled an April fools joke on Halloween!
And so tonight, in honor of Welles, Chaucer, and Pope Gregory XIII, I will have a vodka martini.
April's Fools!

William Gallas calls for Patrick Vieira to replace Mikel Arteta at Arsenal
It's been a difficult season so far for Arsenal, with the Gunners languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League.
Debate has been raging far and wide as to what is causing the North Londoner's to struggle, and in the latest of our series of exclusive interviews with legends of the game, we grabbed the views of former Arsenal skipper William Gallas for his take on the situation…
On what's wrong at Arsenal
"What's going on at Arsenal? It's a question I think everybody has asked this season. I don't know the answer. I think maybe the issue at the moment is that Mikel Arteta is not the right manager. For me he doesn't have that experience to manage a big club.
"I was surprised when he came in, to be honest – even as Pep Guardiola's assistant – you need experience as a manager to come in to a club like Arsenal. You need to know how to manage 25 players. All the pressure is on your shoulders and you make all the decisions. Some players will be upset that they aren't playing and it's something you need experience in dealing with.
"If you're managing a side and the players you're starting don't perform well, the players who are on the bench will be upset. After a few games the players who aren't playing will end up being frustrated. And maybe those players don't respect the manager anymore. Especially if that manager doesn't have experience.
"If it was Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho or Arsene Wenger, you will respect their decision because they've all done something in the past. But Arteta hasn't.
"If I was a player at Arsenal now, I think it all depends on whether you're a young player or a more experienced name. The young players will respect Arteta, but the players who have more experience, maybe not.
"The players who aren't getting into the team will be saying to themselves 'OK, I'm on the bench, we haven't been getting good results; what's going on? Why am I not playing?' And it will start from there."
On Patrick Vieira
"When they chose Mikel Arteta to come in and replace Unai Emery, in my mind Patrick Vieira was the name I thought they should have gone for. I don't know how close he was or if he was in the running at all, but I was surprised they didn't even mention his name.
"Patrick has more experience than Mikel, because he's managed in America and he spent time at Nice. So when the Arsenal board decided to pick a new manager I thought Patrick would get the call. He was captain of Arsenal and he knows the club very well. Patrick was the right guy then.
"If they have to sack Mikel Arteta, they have to choose Patrick Vieira to replace him, and I'm sure all the fans would love it."

Thom Browne may be absent from this season's calendar (he is showing in Paris to the chagrin of many, like myself, for whom it was the week's highlight), but regardless, he still managed to kick off NYFW. On Wednesday, the designer was formally presented with The Couture Council of the Museum at FIT's 2017 Artistry in Fashion Award at an awards luncheon held at the David Koch Theatre at Lincoln Center. It's become a wildly popular event that heralds in the fall season in high style.
I felt like breaking out with the song "Hail! Hail! The Gang's All Here!" as I surveyed the fashion, publishing, and philanthropic heavyweights milling around at what is the first major event in New York right after Labor Day.
Sharon Jacob, Kathy Prounis, Joanna Coles, Cameron Silver, Ken Downing, Ralph Rucci, Jean Shafiroff, Victor de Souza, Dr. Joyce Brown, Dr. Valerie Steele, Patricia Mears, Margaret Hayes, Jamee Gregory, and Susan Susan Gutfreund.
It's never lost on me that this event always feels a bit like a grownup version of the first day of school (which is actually Thursday); but of course, with better dressed 'kids' and more expensive backpacks. But as always the case with regards to this lunch, guests are not only well dressed; many like to pay homage to the year's honoree.
On Wednesday, many men and women were wearing one of Thom Browne's unmistakable designs and/or carrying one of his signature bags. The whimsical 'Hector' dog bags, designed to look like a dog, were most popular, but Liz Peek was holding his red, white blue sailboat bag.
Since the foundation of his aesthetic is predicated on menswear (grey being his favored neutral), many of his designs are literally interchangeable for both men and women (down to the ties) and this made for a wonderful photo op.
The Museum at FIT's Artistry in Fashion Award is now in its 12th year. Past honorees in chronological order: Ralph Rucci, Alber Elbaz, Isabel Toledo, Dries Van Noten, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera, Manolo Blahnik and Akris. I have gone to every awards luncheon since its inception.
Ralph Rucci (the subject of my recent article, "A Conversation with Ralph Rucci") was the first honoree and the lunch (with a hundred or so guests) was held at Brasserie 8 ½ at 9 West 57th Street. At the time, Ralph referred to it as a "simple but quiet and luxurious lunch".
But alas, it's a sign of the times that there is very little that is intimate and quiet these days (especially in the fashion world). Everything is now done on a much grander, bigger scale with a lot more buzz, a lot more press and a lot more noise (it's "HUGE"!).
After a wonderful lunch consisting of a beautifully composed salad, a tasting plate of cold lobster, buttermilk fried chicken with Chile lime yogurt and corn and cucumber salad, and mignardises for dessert, Dr. Valerie Steele, Director of The Museum at FIT and Dr. Joyce F. Brown, President, Fashion Institute of Technology, made their welcoming comments.
"I'm here for a few reasons. I LIKE Thom Browne. And I like Thom Browne because he's not like anybody else. Everybody knows what an innovator he is and you can go all over the world and see his influence. This coat, he made this for ME! He makes things for people who want to wear them and when you want to wear something your head is always up; your head is never down. You can't imagine the joy I have when I wear my Thom Browne coat. And THAT is why I am here because THIS man brings joy and he brings innovation and he brings the idea that you must be an individual. You must stand for something. And you can wear your clothes boldly and stand for something in your clothes.
Everyone talks about inclusiveness, but he actually does it. He does it! And he's actually moved the needle on fashion. And I think he is speaking to ME! One of the reasons that this is exciting to me is that people used to make fun of all the stuff I wore. I wore things that I thought were interesting and innovative but I kept hearing from people who would tell me to stop because I looked so weird. And that was just the hair! I started believing them and then a couple of years ago I went in a whole other direction and I thought, "I am not everybody's taste but I am my own taste". And so part of why I love what Thom has done is because he understands a white shirt. One of the things people want in these 'hurricane times', is a white shirt because it makes them feel fresh, clean, present. Now, I wear white shirts to remind myself that it's whiter than I think and I like that, and I know he loves a white shirt.
The other reason is that he's just a good man he's got a great dog, a great partner. And he's made innovation what you would expect. He doesn't have to go in crazy directions to prove that he knows what he's doing and that he has his eye on the ball and he makes what people want to wear. So, I thank you for that. Thom, thank you. I felt pretty good walking in here today. I am here because you inspired and so, I am pleased to say that the 2017 Couture Council Award for Artistry in Fashion goes to Thom Browne. Artistry! Can I say that again?" And Whoopi handed Thom the award.
"When I was told I was getting this award, it was an out of body experience but I was worried that FIT would not get anybody to come. It's an amazing school, an amazing organization, and an amazing group and thank you so much for being there for me. Thank you so much Whoopi for being here and for being the person that you are. When I think of couture I think of you. For me couture means something that is timeless, that has a strong point of view, that is truly individual, and something that is the highest quality, and that is what you, Whoopi represent. Thanks so much Dr. Brown and FIT for this truly overwhelming honor and thank you Valerie Steele, for your loyal support. Thank you for believing that fashion should inform, provoke, inspire. And thank you for appreciating the art and the craft of making clothing well, as this for me, it what is truly inspiring.
I want to thank a few special people: My sister who has always been my biggest supporter – I am from a family of 7 children - and has kept everything real; Miki (Higasa) who is there for me, and with me, since the very beginning; Daniel, the leader of my design team. Design is such a collaborative effort and he makes my job so much easier. And Andrew, my partner. I am the luckiest person on earth in the world Andrew (and he started getting very emotional as he spoke), to be inspired every day by the person I love. Andrew always makes me realize that fashion truly can be art.
Nowadays, there is much commercially designed fashion, and it's not always of the highest quality. Forgetting about trends, I always strive to make something with an interesting design; something that is timeless, that has a clear and individual point of view. This is what I call fashion and this is what I will strive to accomplish on the acceptance of this award. That is my commitment to you, The Couture Council, FIT, Dr. Brown, Valerie, and Patricia".
Above picture at the after party are many of the people who worked so hard to make the luncheon such a success.
Ralph Rucci and is coming out with a clothing line on QVC featuring sizes 0 to 20 and a price point from $40-$90.
Linda Fargo: She was the first person to carry Thom Browne at her department store Bergdorf Goodman.
Andrew Bolton: Thom Browne's partner who runs the Costume Institute said that Thom was nervous to receive this honor because he is such a huge admirer of Valerie Steele and Patricia Mears. He said it was nice to see how fashion people recognize how unique and important Browne is. He also said it was top secret who the Costume Institute would honor but there would be a thematic contribution. He referred to the Gala as an outer body experience where Wintour gets this incredible mix of fascinating people.
He was a bit starstruck at meeting Sienna Miller at the Gala because she had such a great sense of humor. He also said he would not be attending any fashion shows this season since he has many imminent deadlines. After the event was over. there was an after party for those who helped put the event together. Everybody agreed it was the best luncheon that was ever held.

Global digital agency Isobar India is nominating two campaigns to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in 2018.
One of them is their Blind Faith Upgrade campaign for Hotel Ramada. The campaign seeks to address the issue of hotel accommodation facilities for visually-impaired people.
During the annual Urs Mubarak festival, thousands of visually-impaired pilgrims travel to Ajmer to visit the shrine, Ajmer Shareef.
The number of pilgrims and visitors to Hotel Ramada in Ajmer increases dramatically at this time. Hotel Ramada wanted to meet the needs of these travellers.
To do this, Hotel Ramada started the Blind Faith Upgrade. This is an easy-to-assemble kit that can convert any hotel room into a visually-impaired-friendly room, without any infrastructural changes at the property.
The upgrade ensures a comfortable stay for people who are visually impaired without having to depend on anyone.

Bristol Palin, Levi Johnston engaged
(CNN) - Bristol Palin and the father of her child, Levi Johnston, are engaged, the magazine Us Weekly reported Wednesday.
The couple told Us Weekly that former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin did not know about their plans until now.
"We got engaged two weeks ago," the magazine quotes 19-year-old Bristol Palin as saying. "It felt right, even though we don't have the approval of our parents."
Sarah Palin has not yet commented on the report.
"It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board," the magazine quotes Bristol Palin as saying.
The two reconciled three months ago during custody discussions about their 18- month-old son, Tripp.
Johnston, 20, told the magazine, "I really thought we were over. So when I went, I had no hope. I think we both just started talking - and then we took Tripp for a walk."
"They opened up to us about how they had the baby so young and it was really hard for them to work together to raise Tripp," Us Weekly Senior Editor Lindsey Powers told CNN's "American Morning" on Wednesday. "But as they got a little bit closer, Bristol moved out of her parents' home to a condo in Anchorage, they got accustomed to parenting and as they worked out a custody plan, they started spending a lot more time together then started realizing they wanted to reunite."
Powers said the engagement "would fit in with (Sarah Palin's) 'family values' platform. What better than to have your daughter reuniting with the father of the baby and reuniting the family?"
Johnston sent Bristol Palin a text that said, "I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again." and she was in shock, Powers told CNN.
"They realized that they're really in love and they're together. And she was thrilled when he popped the question with a one-carat diamond ring that you can see the photo of in the new issue," Powers said.
"They say they want it to be quick so, certainly, we'll see them walking down the aisle shortly."
Their teenage relationship fell under an intense public spotlight after Sen. John McCain picked Palin as his vice presidential running mate in August 2008. The couple broke off their engagement about two months after their son's birth in December 2008.
After the couple broke up, Johnston posed in Playgirl Magazine, and said on "The Tyra Banks Show" that they had been allowed to live together, a charge the Palin camp denied.
Johnston irked Sarah Palin last fall by claiming that she referred to her infant son Trig (who has Down syndrome) as "retarded." According to Us Weekly, she fired back, telling reporters that anyone who posed for Playgirl would "say and do anything for even more attention." Later, during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, she dubbed him "Ricky Hollywood" and called his "aspiring porn" career "heartbreaking."
During a nasty custody battle last year, Johnston asked that the case be conducted in public to protect him from Sarah Palin, whom he said was "powerful, politically ambitious and has a reputation for being extremely vindictive."
Bristol Palin said in the custody hearing that Johnston wanted a public case so he could "continue to make a spectacle of this custody dispute for his own self-promotion."
Bristol Palin noted in the court case that Johnston's mother, Sherry Johnston, pleaded guilty to a felony drug charge this year.
Bristol Palin asked that the paternal grandmother be barred from having any unsupervised visitation with Tripp. Her petition said she "may re-offend, keep medications around the house which could be accessible to the baby, have illegal drug users come to the house (or she could take the baby in her car during a drug sale)."
Johnston's response said his mother's "chronic pain condition is currently being managed in coordination with the Department of Corrections."
On July 7, Johnston publicly apologized to the Palin family in a statement to People Magazine, saying some of his comments about the family were not totally true.
"Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true," Johnston told People. "I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize."

CNN why is this big news? Who really cares about these two bozo's. In a year the'll be divorced! Neither of them have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of. What are they going to do sponge off the Palin's? Report on something of substance. America has had enough of the Palin's dirty laundry. Thanks again John 'Senile' McCain. How's those Depends working out for you John?
July 14, 2010 09:38 am at 9:38 am |
Things are always better and lovely WITHOUT that divisive MOMMIE of hers, LOL!!! Congrat's to Kristol and Levi. Love is real and I hope the two of you have a wonderul life raising YOUR child. Just be sure you keep YO GRIZZLY MAMA out of it!!!
Nobody cares. This "news" is as pertinent as a week old fish wrapped in newspaper... or Sarah Palin... both of which exude the same 'aura.'
Here's a divorce in the making...
seriously funny.... wow.... the irorny. LOL!
I hope it works. This baby needs both parents. Good luck Bristol and Levi.
Bob in PA
The media just needs to butt out of their relationship once and for all.
I hate Palins but I am happy for this news.
A baby needs both father and mother.
My only request to Bristol/Levi: Don't breed now. wait for a few more years,
That's pretty typical of white trash people. The constant drama, breaking up, getting back together, dating each others' ex's. I'm just waiting for them to bust out a barbecue with bonfire, fireworks, and ATV's to complete the picture.
But that Levi Johnston dude is a greasy, creepy dude anyway. He's just riding a gravy train. Hope that girl wakes up before they're married. But the Palin woman is at least smart enough to have a waterproof prenup for him, which he won't sign, so maybe there's still hope. If he really cared about his child, we'd see WAY less of his name in the paper.
yep, Sarah got lot of things not under control.
Now we know why Levi changed some of his statements.
They belong on Jerry Springer.
Their whole break-up was probably a money making scheme thought up by Moma-Painlin......they sure did make the bucks with all of their publicity stops....
The Palin's used to be PWT, now they are RWT—but they are still TRASH either way you look at it. They just added another piece of trash (Levi) to the pile.
Not All Docs Play Golf
I wonder if the conservative Club for Growth is paying him to marry her in a desperate attempt to make the whole Palin clan look less dysfunctional, as part of a Republican strategy to bolster Sarah's credibility as the resigned-to-do-a-book-tour ex-Alaskan governor goes around the country gleefully in the spotlight at her rallies of the dumb.
I wish you two luck!!! When it comes down to it, it's between the two of you and your son. Sarah should only be wishing for your happiness.
shid
Gotta give these kids credit for making things work out, despite all the biting exchanges they've shared. I'm sure they love their son and want the best for him and to create a loving family. I hope they get things right this time....but they are so young and still so immature.
Do wish them the best though.
Dennis 2547
You two decided long ago that you wanted to be adults so you went ahead to have a child without the approval of your parents,
If being grown up is taking responsibility for ones actions then so be it. Being independent is what you want or it sure doesn't sound like you were worried or carried much about approval of your folks when you decided to become pregnant as an underage teenager.
Why worry if your parents give you and Levi there approval at this stage of the game ? Just keep playing the game for your Blog and Reality Show kids. That is how you were planning to make money to support your new family right ? I certainly don't think you two have ever thought about going to college once mama grizzly bear found that become a wanna be celebrity and working the circuit as a ex-quitter of an elected office in Alaska meant anything.
Just ask mom and daddy Bristol to kick in some of the bucks she has made offer her fame as a tea party hustler .
Oh I know you can be your mama's consultant in her run for President in 2012 a job you could be qualified for if mama says so to all of America, right ?
Best wishes kids. A retired US Army veteran
Now let them live PRIVATELY, without sharing the minutest details with the world. I don't need to know.
Linda Tesauro
Re Palin, Levi and the rest of them. They're all crazy. Who cares about another totally dysfunctional family.
"Family values" involve my daughter talking to Us Weekly about her engagement before she tells me? I would consider myself a failure in raising my family with something as dysfunctional as this. However, the PR people will spin this into some fairy tale.
Well, now, good for the media! We can finally stop reading about the antics of "little lost Lindsay" and start something brand new about this befuddled, dynamic duo. Do me a favor please. Make it short because it darn sure ain't newsworthy!
A political soap opera. Just what America needed. Would somebody please take the trash out.
Rob R
We should now see if Palin has grown up politically. Will she be graceful while gritting her teeth? Will she milk the "family values" tune for all it's worth? All the best to the two kids who seem to have made a wise (love plus logic) decision...good for them...but you gotta admit, Momma Grizzlie is ROARING right now...
Why is this under "Politics?"
I can not for the life of me understand why this is in the political ticker section of any news site. This isn't poilitical at all, it's just designed to distract us.
I am sure the liberals will bash these two young kids that fell in love, had a fight and made up. God speed Levi and Bristol.

Galaxy Z Fold4: The Powerhouse of Multitasking
Bypratik patil August 10, 2022 November 15, 2022 5 min read
According to Samsung, the first and second generations of the Galaxy Z established the foldable market, while the third generation Z Fold put more emphasis on enhancing S Pen support, durability, and multitasking. With improved ergonomics, many more productivity capabilities, and noticeable camera advancements, the fourth Fold in the series has now been released.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 has exactly the same width when closed as its predecessor, measuring 67.1mm, but it is 3.1mm shorter. However, Samsung was able to make the cover display 2.7mm broader thanks to smaller bezels. This reduces its lanky 24.5:9 aspect ratio to a more sensible (albeit still tall) 23:9.
[expander_maker id="2″ more="Read more" less="Read less"]
Although it boasts bigger screens, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is generally smaller than its predecessor. The latest model is 2mm wider when it is opened, but again, a smaller bezel allowed the manufacturer to include a 3.1mm bigger display. The foldable is also 8g lighter, weighing in at 263g, and measures 6.3mm when opened and 15.8mm when closed (as opposed to 6.4mm and 16mm).
Galaxy Z Fold4 powerhouse of a device
Keep it open for the time being. The aspect ratio has changed to 6:5, while the display's diagonal size remains 7.6″. (vs. 6.2:5). As previously, this display boasts a typical brightness of 1,000 nits and an adjustable refresh rate of up to 120Hz. With a greater pixel density, the region above the under-display camera is less noticeable.
Let's take a deeper look at the rest of the phone before returning to the inner display because there are a lot of productivity and entertainment options to discuss.
See also Apple recently a patent for Magic Keyboard with a Mac integrated
Gorilla Glass Victus+ has been used to protect the back panel and cover display, which is both constructed from Armor Aluminum. The Galaxy Z Fold4 water resistance is certified as IPX8 (it can be submerged in 1.5m of fresh water for up to 30 minutes). Independent testing has confirmed that both of the new Z phones can fold up to 200,000 times.
The Galaxy S22 and S22+ serve as inspiration for the back's triple camera. It has a primary module with a 50MP resolution and a bigger, 23% greater light-capturing sensor. Enhancements to OIS and EIS are also part of the camera enhancements.
Galaxy Z Fold4 With a 3x optical magnification (up from 2x), the new 10MP telephoto camera brings objects closer, and the digital "Space Zoom" can go up to 30x. Not much changed with the 12MP ultrawide camera. As a point of comparison, the Z Fold3 has three 12MP cameras.
The Galaxy Z Fold4 camera on the cover display is a 10MP unit (f/2.2) and the under-display camera still relies on binning to output 4MP images (f/1.8).
Some unusual shooting settings are made possible by the folding form factor. For instance, as you zoom in, a "zoom map" will appear on half of the screen, making it simpler for you to frame your photo. Both you and your subject can see the picture before you press the shutter button thanks to the dual preview's two screens.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is equipped with a 12GB RAM and the effective and strong Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU. Storage options are 256GB or 512GB; a 1TB option is only offered by Samsung.com
See also Galaxy Unpacked 2023 Launch Event Date Confirmed Officially
4,400mAh is the same as previously for the battery capacity. Although the charging method uses the same 25W, the Z Fold3 only reached 33% in our tests, whereas the previous model's charge time was 30 minutes to go from a dead battery to 50%. In addition, 15W wireless charging is enabled.
To offer a much better software experience, Samsung collaborated with its partners and developed independently. There is now a Taskbar on the bottom that looks like a PC (similar to DeX), giving you quick access to your favourite programmes, recently used apps and even app combinations.
Galaxy Z Fold4 For instance, you can simultaneously use Facebook and Facebook Messenger (or even three or more apps at a time). Your whole timeline as well as the menu will be displayed on Facebook, which has been optimised for the 7.6″ screen.
YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ and Microsoft Teams are optimized to make the best out of the foldable form factor. Some apps especially like the large inner display, e.g. Microsoft's Outlook, Office and Teams as well as Google's Meet offer tablet-like functionality.
In Flex Mode, the phone can be folded in half to resemble a laptop. With this, you may use video calling without a tripod (although there is a case with a built-in kickstand). The Flex Mode TouchPad, which converts the bottom half of the screen into a touchpad and shortcuts bar, will be useful for apps that don't natively support Flex Mode.
Text extraction is a new skill that the S Pen has picked up. If you are looking at someone's contact information and have their address saved, you can easily launch Google Maps by selecting the address with the stylus and dragging it there. Similar to copying and pasting, but with the simplicity and accuracy of S Pen.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 will be offered shortly, with the 12/256GB model costing $1,800/€1,800 (the 12/512GB model costs €1,920, and the 12GB/1TB model costs €2,160). Pre-orders are already being accepted; the first items will ship on August 25. The Z Fold4 will come with a free RAM upgrade with early purchases, as we indicated while discussing the storage possibilities. Additionally, the price might be reduced by up to $1,000 with the correct trade-in. A Standing Cover with a Pen case will be provided by Samsung.
At launch, three colours are offered: the dependable Phantom Black, the fresh Beige, and Grey-green, the defining hue of this generation.

Susan Rice and other members of the Obama administration are finally going to have to answer some serious questions about the Benghazi terror attack and related Hillary Clinton emails. Better late than never, right?
A federal judge has breathed new life into questions surrounding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and the 2012 attack that killed U.S. officials in Benghazi, Libya.
Trending: Joe Biden Tells Europeans America Is An Embarrassment – Did He Just Blow His Chances For 2020?
Judge Royce Lamberth ruled Tuesday that Obama administration officials, including national security adviser Susan Rice and deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, must answer written questions as part of a conservative judicial advocacy group's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department over Clinton's emails.
Judicial Watch claims that Clinton intentionally used her private email server in an attempt to shield her communications from FOIA requests and that the State Department acted deceptively and did not really try to complete the request.
Judicial Watch is doing great work here. They're picking up the slack that has been dropped by Republicans in Congress over the years.

Ricardo Piglia's Alter Ego on Epidemics of Violence in Argentina
The Diaries of "Emilio Renzi" Reveal the Digressions of Daily Life
Via Restless Books
By Ricardo Piglia
He had spent several months, exactly from the beginning of April 2014 until the end of March 2015, working on his diaries, taking advantage of an illness, a passing one according to the doctors, which prevented him from going outside; as Renzi would say, joking with his friends, going outside was never a temptation for me, but I never had any interest in what we might call going inside either, or being inside, because inevitably, Renzi told his friends, one wonders, inside of what?, and so it turned out that, thanks to—or as an effect of—that passing illness, he could finally dedicate all of his time and energy to reviewing, rereading, revisiting his diaries, which he'd spoken of too much in another time, for he'd always been tempted—in another time—to talk about his life, although it wasn't quite that, but talking about his notebooks.
Yet he'd never done it, and scarcely alluded to that personal, private, "confidential" work, although what he'd written in his notebooks had, so to speak, often passed unchanged into his novels and essays, into the short stories and narratives that he'd written over the course of the years.
But now, taking advantage of the illness that had suddenly befallen him, he could shut himself away in his study and dedicate himself to transcribing the hundreds and hundreds of pages written in his cursive scrawl inside notebooks with rubber covers. And so, when he found himself afflicted by a mysterious illness, which had visible signs—for example, he had difficulty moving his left hand—even though its diagnosis was uncertain, then, Renzi said, he began an interior work, something done inside, in other words, without venturing into the street.
He hadn't read his diaries chronologically; I couldn't bear it, Renzi told his friends. Before, on several occasions, he had undertaken the task of reading them and trying to type them up, to make a "clean copy," but within a few days he would have deserted that horrible chronological succession and abandoned the project.
Even so, Renzi intended to publish his private notes according to the order of the days because, after rejecting other forms of organization such as, for example, following one theme or person or place over the course of the years in his notebooks and giving his life an aleatory and serial order, he'd realized that the confusing, formless, and contingent experience of living was lost in the process, and so it was better to follow the successive arrangement of days and months.
He had suddenly recognized that his work—but was it work?—of reading, investigating, tracing through his notebooks was one thing, and the published order of the notes that recorded his life was a very different matter. The conclusion: reading isn't the same as giving to be read. As he'd learned in college, the research is one thing and the exposition another; for a historian, the time spent searching blindly in the archives for things you imagine are there is antagonistic to the time required to present the results of the investigation. The same issue arises if you become a historian of yourself.
And so, he'd made up his mind to present his diaries in chronological order, dividing what was written into three large parts that observed the phases of his life, because, in reading the notebooks, he'd discovered that a fairly clear division into three eras or periods was possible. But, in April of the previous year, when faced with the task of rereading and copying the entries of his diaries, he realized it was unbearable to imagine his life as a continuous line and quickly decided to read through his notebooks at random.
Life must not be viewed as an organic continuum, but rather as a collage of contradictory emotions that do not at all obey the logic of cause and effect.
They were filed haphazardly in cardboard boxes of varying provenance and size; they'd been with him everywhere he went, those notebooks, and the disorder that came with each move had thus broken any illusion of continuity. He'd never attempted to file them in an orderly way. He would change their placement and position according to his mood, would stare at them without opening them, for example, strewn across the floor or piled on his desk, and be overwhelmed by the amount of physical space that his personal notes occupied.
One afternoon, following his grandfather Emilio's example, he'd decided to set aside a room exclusively for his diaries. The fact that they would all be in a single place and, above all, that the door to them might be closed, even locked, reassured him. Yet he never did it. If he had wasted part of his life writing down events and thoughts in a notebook, he wasn't going to waste a room of his house on top of that, only to sit and spend entire nights reading and rereading the catastrophic stupidity of the way he lived, because it wasn't his life, it was the passage of days.
And so he asked his friend, the shopkeeper on Calle Ayacucho, for some cardboard boxes, and he used these boxes that once held all manner of products to store them away, packing them in no order, and finally, so as not to be tempted, he decided he would turn his back to the notebooks, contained inside eight boxes, and then, not looking but feeling his way, he would take one out. In that way, Renzi told his friends, he had managed to completely dismantle his experience and move from his notes about months of loneliness and inactivity to another notebook in which he found himself active, lucid, conquering.
In that way, he began to perceive that he was several people at the same time. At certain points he would encounter a failure, a good-for-nothing, but then, reading a notebook written five years later, he would discover a talented, inspired, and triumphant young man. Life must not be viewed as an organic continuum, but rather as a collage of contradictory emotions that do not at all obey the logic of cause and effect, not at all, Renzi repeated, there's no progression and of course there's no progress, no one ever learns from their experience, unless they've taken the rather deranged and unjustified precaution of writing and describing the succession of days, for then, in the future—and only in the future—the meaning will blaze like a fire on the plain, or rather, will burn within those pages.
Unity is always retrospective, all is intensity and confusion in the present, but if we look at the present once it has already passed and situate ourselves in the future, in order to once again see the things we've lived through, then, according to Renzi, it could become somehow clearer.
He had spent those many months, from the beginning of April to the end of March, immersed in the abyss of his existence, sometimes murky, sometimes clear and transparent. Several times he'd become captivated by one writer or philosopher for a while and would spend months immersed in the mass of writings left by that single author—Malcolm Lowry or Jean-Paul Sartre, for example—and read everything they'd written and everything that had been written about them, but now, although the system, to think of it that way, was the same, everything was different because the subject of the investigation was himself, the self, he said, with a burst of laughter.
The self, one's essence, and yet, since one isn't just one but rather another and then another still, in an open circle, it is understood that the form of expression must be faithful to contingency and disorder, and its only form of organization must be the flow of life itself.
Since April of the previous year he'd dedicated himself to that project, along with the invaluable and sarcastic help of his Mexican assistant, Luisa, and Renzi had dictated to her, just as he was dictating now, all of his notebooks, and they'd managed, amid jokes and laughter, to swim through that abyss of waters at once murky and transparent. That day, Monday, February 2nd, they had reached the shore and could look back at what they had done from a different perspective.
Amid the mire of pages written, read, dictated, and amended, certain events, certain incidents or situations had shone out, things he'd captured or glimpsed while dictating to her, as though he were living through them once more. All experience is, so to speak, retrospective, an après-coup, a later revelation, save for two or three moments of life in which passion defines temporality and fixes its enduring sign upon the present.
The idea of surgery as a medical metaphor for state oppression is very common in my country's history.
Passion, Renzi repeated, is always present; it is actuality, manifested in a pure present that lingers on through life like a diamond. If you return to it, you are not remembering but living through it now, once more, in the present, ever vivid and incandescent.
For example, back in that time, a meeting with a woman, alone and undefeated yet also aching and broken, at a modest apartment in Villa Urquiza, furnished in an anonymous style, its kitchen like so many kitchens in Buenos Aires, expansive, with a white wooden table where you could sit—as she and I did that day—and drink yerba mate.
I saw only the kitchen and living room—the dinette, as it's called—with framed photographs and decorations that were almost invisible for being such ordinary sights, and I never saw the bathroom but can imagine it—the mirrored medicine cabinet, the white tiles—just as I can imagine the bedroom with the double bed, used for many years by only one spouse—the one who had survived.
An apartment like any other, on the sixth floor, with a TV on a table to the left side of the living room, facing white armchairs. The truth shone out in such a common place. And that's why I remember that meeting so clearly; I need only shut my eyes to be right back there. There's barely more than a terse reference in my notebooks, the date and time and a note in passing so as not to say too much during a time when any word or gesture could bring harm to the person you mentioned and thus exposed. It was a precaution that did not guarantee anything or allow you to imagine you were safe but served only as a record that you'd lived in those dark days.
At the time, I wrote: Today I visited the Oracle at Delphi. I don't call her that because she—the wounded woman—presents herself that way, but because of the composed clarity of her speech. An oracle with no enigma; the confusion, at any rate, is on the part of the one who comes seeking advice. I can remember it better and more vividly than if I'd written it all down, and, for me, that piece of evidence—every time I've come face to face with it or recalled it—has served as proof of a single moment in which life and meaning were joined together. But what was the cost?
That's why I've spoken of those as "the plague years." In Greek tragedy, it was a way to refer to social evil. A plague that devastated a community as a result of a crime perpetrated in the very site of state power. A state crime that—in the form of an epidemic—caused terror and death among the citizens. A metaphor, in short. Quite opposite to the metaphor, a familiar one in our time, of the despotic power associated with a surgeon who must operate without anesthesia and cut open the ailing body of the nation.
The idea of surgery as a medical metaphor for state oppression is very common in my country's history. A doctor sees his obligation, as those bastards say, to act upon the body in order to cure the political disease that, so they claim, is afflicting the nation.
By contrast, in the Greek tradition, the calamity is seen as a result of the crime being perpetrated in the state; who murdered Laius, the king, at a cleft in the road? The plague, then, is the result of a crime that befalls the populace, and the plague years are the dark years during which the defenseless suffer under a social evil, or rather, a state evil, descending from the seat of power onto the innocent citizens.
And so, in order to remedy the wrong or to find some relief or escape, I had to visit the Pythia, that woman, a cross between seer and bird, to face her and to hear her song. That lady, whom I met in secret, was compelled to be beyond reproach in her life and habits. And so she was, Antonia Cristina, whose powers I only glimpsed years after visiting her in her modest home, at Delphi, that is, in Villa Urquiza.
That too was the meaning behind the title of Camus's novel, The Plague, the first book I read "myself," which is to say, I used it so that I could tell a woman, a girl really, my version of what I'd read, and I don't remember what I told her but I do remember that night I spent reading the novel, furiously, as though the book were alive, inside me, even as I was reading it for her. And that's all I've done ever since, reading a book, or rather, giving a book to someone who's asked to read it.
Those empty caskets invoked the unburied bodies that had ravaged, and for years to come would ravage, the memory of the country.
For Camus it is Nazism, the German occupation, which causes the epidemic that sweeps across Algeria. The other meaning of the plague is that it gives rise to a series of narratives for which it is the condition, not the subject, as is visible in Boccaccio's Decameron; always, amid the terror of death, there is a group of people who shut themselves off in order to tell, by turns, some stories. The danger, the terror, the curse of a reality with no escape is often transformed into tales, little stories that circulate in the middle of the night, relating imaginary versions of the lived experience of those dark days and making it possible to bear through them and survive.
The telling of stories brings relief from the nightmare of History. For example, in the past I've related the anonymous story that began to circulate around Buenos Aires in those days. Someone said there was someone who had a friend who, one morning, at a railway station, in a suburb of the city, had seen a freight train passing, slow and silent, heading south with a load of empty coffins. That was the story that circulated by word of mouth in the midst of the military plague and the horror of Argentina. A perfect story that both said and did not say, that alluded, in its image, to the reality we were living in.
For those empty caskets invoked the unburied bodies that had ravaged, and for years to come would ravage, the memory of the country. They were heading south, a brilliant detail that referred to the desert, but also, of course, to the Falklands War, which the murderers had been preparing for months as an escape route and which the story seemed to anticipate. How did they know the coffins were empty? It was, Renzi thought, the gravitational pull of fantastical literature, which had been, in our culture, a very original way of writing that allowed us to postulate unsettling realities that contain more truth than reality such as it is experienced.
The other highly political detail in that story was the presence of a witness. There was always someone present who saw what happened and could recount it; there's always a witness at the scene of the event, an individual who sees and then goes on to spread the story. In this way, there is a certain poetic justice in the world that makes it possible for social crimes to be revealed and made known.
There is a witness who gives testimony and shares the things they have lived through and the things they have seen. Showing them and making them visible, for their account, said Renzi, does not judge, it only implies and, in that way, allows the things that History conceals to become known.

Ікосіани — некомутативна алгебрична структура, яку 1856 року виявив ірландський математик Вільям Ровен Гамільтон. У сучасній термінології він знайшов задання  за допомогою генераторів та зв'язків.

Відкриття Гамільтона виникло з його спроб знайти алгебру «трійок» (3-кортежів), які, як він вірив, відбиватимуть осі координат. Ікосіани можна ототожнити з переміщеннями по вершинах додекаедра. Робота Гамільтона в цій галузі опосередковано призвела до гамільтонових циклів і гамільтонових шляхів у теорії графів. Для ілюстрування та популяризації свого відкриття він також винайшов гру «Ікосіан».

Неформальне визначення

Алгебра ґрунтується на трьох символах, які є коренями з одиниці, так що послідовне застосування будь-якого з них через кілька кроків приводить до одиниці. Це:

Гамільтон також дав інший зв'язок між символами:

(В сучасних термінах це (2,3,5) група трикутника.)

Операція асоціативна, але не комутативна. Вона утворює групу 60-го порядку, ізоморфну групі обертань правильного ікосаедра або додекаедра, а тому знакозмінної групи п'ятого степеня.

Хоча алгебра існує як цілком абстрактна побудова, її можна наочно подати в термінах операцій із вершинами додекаедра. Гамільтон сам використав плоске подання додекаедра як основу гри.

Уявімо жука, що повзе вздовж певного ребра додекаедра (з позначеними вершинами) у певному напрямку, скажімо, від  до  . Ми можемо подати це як орієнтовану дугу .

 Ікосіан  прирівнюється до зміни напрямку будь-якого ребра, так що жук буде повзти від  до  (в напрямку дуги ).

 Ікосіан  прирівнюється до обертання поточного напрямку жука проти годинникової стрілки навколо кінцевої вершини. У прикладі це означає зміна поточного напрями  на  .

 Ікосіан  прирівнюється до правого повороту в кінцевій точці, тобто переході від  до .

Спадщина
Ікосіани є одним із найраніших прикладів багатьох математичних ідей, зокрема:

 подання та вивчення груп за допомогою генераторів та зв'язків;
 групи трикутника, пізніше узагальненої групи Коксетера;
 візуалізації групи за допомогою графа, що привела до , а пізніше — до геометричної теорії груп;
 гамільтонових циклів та шляхів у теорії графів;
 .

I'm visiting a friend who recently moved for a few days in late March. What's something great for two friends to do that haven't seen each other in a year?
A carriage tour with Palmetto Carriage Company, a Culinary Tour with Charleston Culinary Tours (the Upper King one is better). I would eat at FIG - makes reservations, literally, one month in advance; and Poogan's Porch or Cru Cafe. Maybe Halls Chophouse. Stay in the historic district on the peninsula to be within walking distance to everything.
Eat! Tour the historic houses. Spend the day at the beach. Visit the Aquarium. Great shopping. Wander through the streets South of Broad.
