Fear of Crime and Information Theory
An appropriate lead-in to this post is the quote attributed to Stalin: "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." This fits very nicely into the structure of information theory, as formulated by Claude Shannon sixty years ago. His measure of information is equivalent to the reciprocal of the probability of occurrence of an event (specifically, the logarithm of this number). That is, if the probability of an occurrence is 100% (1.0), that is, if it's certain to occur, then its information content is the logarithm[1] of 1, or 0; if the probability is 10%, its information content is 1; if its probability is .001, its information content is 3. In other words, the less likely the event is to occur, the higher the information content of its occurrence. That's why it's also called a measure of "surprise," because the occurrence of a highly unlikely event is more surprising than one that is highly likely to occur.
What, pray tell, does this have to do with fear of crime? A lot, it turns out. As Steven Pinker has shown, violence and violent death has declined markedly over the past few centuries, and we are much, much less likely than our ancestors to die at the hands of others, either through wars or by crimes of violence. But this very fact means that (per the quote at the top of this post) each violent death nowadays has a greater surprise value than it did in the past. And that greater surprise value translates directly into greater fear – fear that oneself or one's family is going to be harmed by others.
So we have this paradox: the safer we make ourselves, the more fear we have – of the unknown, of "them" (any outsider), of MS-13, of the person walking toward you ("Quick, get out your gun before he gets his out"). And of course, it is all so easy to stir up fear in a population, especially when those in power, whom we expect to be responsible adults, are the ones stirring it up.
[1] To make it easy to follow, I'm using logs to the base 10. For those who slept through math class, the logarithm of a number goes up much more slowly than the number itself, so in the examples above the log of 1 is 0, of 10 (the reciprocal of 1/10) is 1, and of 1000 is 3. End of lesson.

János Kornai speaks for open inquiry
János Kornai, whose Economics of Shortage provided the only (as far as I know) theoretically coherent and empirically supported analysis of the actual functioning of the economies of the ComEcon states, has just been awarded the Open Society Prize at the commencement ceremony of the Central European University in Budapest.
This may be the last time that prize, or any CEU degree, is awarded in Budapest. The authoritarian, ethno-nationalist, and anti-Semitic Orban government in Hungary, installed with the help of Russian money and influence (does that sound familiar?) is moving forward a law aimed at Hungarian-born (and Jewish) George Soros, whose philanthropy helped create CEU; when it goes into effect, it will force CEU to leave the country.
Below is the text of a letter from Kornai to a friend in the U.S., followed by the text of the award speech by the Rector of CEU and Kornai's acceptance speech.

Tom Schelling's monument
This Monday the friends, colleagues, family, students, and disciples of Thomas C. Schelling gathered at the Kennedy School to honor his memory. The speakers included his eldest son (Andrew Schelling), the current dean of the school (Doug Elmendorf) two former deans (Graham Allison and David Ellwood), and an academic all-star cast including Mort Halperin, Richard Zeckhauser, and Glenn Loury. Somehow I was also asked to speak.
I didn't speak from a text, but what follows is a version of what I said, "revised and extended," just like the Congressional Record.
SCHELLING'S MONUMENT
The dome of St. Paul's cathedral marks the center of the City of London – a cathedral, and a city, both rebuilt after the Great Fire thanks largely to the energy and genius of Christopher Wren. On the floor directly below the dome appears Wren's obituary, which concludes: "Si monumentum requiris, circumspice" – "If you're looking for his monument, look around you."
Here in the Forum of the Kennedy School, one can say the same thing of Thomas C. Schelling: his monument is all around you. Not the buildings, but the school itself as an institution, the idea it embodies, and all of us and all the others who came together around that idea are Schelling's monument. The city of Cambridge, among many other cities, also forms part of that monument, since without Schelling's wisdom about how to avoid nuclear war it might well be a heap of rubble glowing in the dark.
As to the more local monument: Schelling did not re-form the Littauer School of Public Administration into the Kennedy School of Government all by himself. A whole catalogue of giants in that founding generation – Richard Neustadt, Francis Bator, Howard Raiffa, Fred Mosteller, Phil Heymann, and Edith Stokey – helped to start the work. The second and third generations, home-grown or recruited, who carried on the project here and elsewhere, included – in addition to those who have spoken here today – Mark Moore, Mike Spence, Mike O'Hare, Al Carnesale, Ronnie Heifetz, Bob Leone, Michael Nacht, Bill Hogan, Bill Clark, Dutch Leonard, and Ash Carter.
But though Schelling did not act alone, the power of his mind and the force of his personality were indispensable in convoking this community.  To cite my own example among many: as a college senior, I was interrupted on my way to law school by reading "On the Ecology of Micromotives," which introduced the "tipping" idea with its famous checkerboard model of how residential segregation could emerge, almost inevitably, in a population where everyone prefers integration but no one wants to be part of a small local minority. I went to Holland Hunter, the chair of the Haverford economics department and my mentor, and said "I have to learn how to do that." Ho chuckled and said, "Well, Schelling teaches at the Kennedy School." I said, "The where?"  And I've never looked back.
Among the giants of his generation, Schelling was foremost in creating the idea of public policy analysis as a discipline of thought, distinct both from public administration and from the social sciences: a pragmatic discipline focused on the question "What course of action, in these circumstances, would best serve the public interest?"
Of course, Schelling wasn't only a policy analyst: he was a social scientist of towering stature, the sort of person whose Nobel Prize led people to say not "Really?" but "About time!" Others today have mentioned his contribution to the understanding of strategic interaction, and the role his concepts of imperfect self-command and strategic self-management played in starting what became "behavioral economics." But the Schelling idea that hit me hardest was the tipping model, and the more general principle of paying attention to the importance of positive feedbacks in the choice of problems to work on.
Reading Schelling on micromotives teaches you to avoid the Sisyphean problems – where, once you've pushed the stone up the hill, the power of negative feedback will roll that stone right back down over you on the way to its equilibrium – and to choose instead the exciting positive-feedback situations where a nudge might get the stone over the crest and moving of its own accord down to a much better place on the other slope, or the dangerous positive-feedback situations where a little effort in the right place and at the right moment might keep the stone from rolling irretrievably over the brink. All of my work on focused deterrence in law enforcement is the application of that bit of insight; the book that resulted forms part of Tom's monument.
In the economics course Tom and Francis taught us as first-year MPP students, we learned many important things explicitly: for example, that an obviously pro-consumer ban on surcharges for using credit cards and an obviously anti-consumer ban on discounts for cash are, in fact and in truth, identical policies. That pointed to the general rule: Ignore the label on a policy, and ask instead about its results.
But Tom taught us even more vital things by his example:
to use models without being used by them;
to see the humor in serious situations, and look for the apparent paradox that might make sense of a situation and point toward a solution;
to be prepared, and willing, to be surprised by the way the analysis comes out, or by the way the real-world situation stubbornly refuses to behave as the analysis says it ought to behave; and
to embody clear thought in clear speech and clear writing.
Though he never would have put it in these terms, Tom taught us policy analysis not merely as a discipline in the academic sense but as a yoga, an intellectual and moral self-discipline requiring difficult feats of non-attachment: to self-interest, to group interest, to factional loyalty, to received opinion, to one's own policy prejudices, and – most of all – to the need to have been right in one's earlier views. No force in the world – not greed, not envy, not party spirit, not even cruelty – does as much damage as the inability to say, without too much discomfort, "I was completely wrong about that; good thing I'm smarter now."
By his example, Tom also taught us to pursue questions not for their abstract interest but for their practical significance. He was disappointed when I chose to write my dissertation on cannabis policy – where I was convinced I could see the right answer – rather than on cocaine policy, where the stakes were much higher but the right set of policies seemed much harder to find.
That principle led him to choose smoking as the new focus of his attention once his insights about preventing nuclear war had largely been incorporated into the thinking of decision-makers. Tobacco wasn't a "Schellingesque" problem, ready to fall apart at the touch of a brilliant insight. There is no analogy in tobacco policy to second-strike capacity or focal points or the threat that leaves something to chance. No, Tom chose tobacco simply because it was and is the leading preventable cause of death in the developed world, and a growing problem in the developing world, with tens of millions of lives at stake, and he was convinced that thinking hard about it would help point policy in the right direction.
The same was true of global warming. As Tom freely acknowledged, economic and strategic analysis were only two among the two dozen disciplines needed to address that question. He picked it up not because he saw the answer but because the problem was interesting and hard, and because the consequences of getting it wrong – either ruinously over-investing in fending off what might be a phantom threat, or under-investing and failing to control warming before it becomes self-sustaining, or combining the two errors by adopting expensive but ineffective control policies – might be so disastrous.
In both of those cases, he demonstrated his willingness to follow the analysis where it led, even if it led him away from his old allies. With respect to tobacco, he followed Nietzsche's advice to "depart from one's cause when it triumphs." Having labored mightily to put the health harms of smoking front and center in policy discourse and to break the political power of the tobacco industry, and having helped demonstrate the futility of low-tar-and-nicotine cigarettes as harm-reduction measures, Tom later formed part of a distinct minority willing to speak out against what had become a rigid tobacco-control orthodoxy on behalf of the less dangerous non-combustion forms of nicotine administration, including "vaping."
On global warming, he started out in the camp of the skeptics: not skeptical about the human contribution to climate change, but somewhat skeptical about what seemed alarmist views of how bad things might get and deeply skeptical both about the capacity of initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol to control the problem and about the feasibility, constrained by international politics, of mounting the massive coordinated effort that might be required to keep greenhouse-gas levels below what some climate scientists regarded as intolerably dangerous levels. Â He hoped that geoengineering approaches and measures to adapt to whatever climate change did occur might reduce the magnitude of the required economic adjustments.
But as the temperature data continued to come in, and as sailboats began to ply the Northwest Passage through waters once utterly ice-locked, Tom parted company with the "Copenhagen Consensus" group and started to call for more vigorous action, on the theory that changes in relative prices – especially if phased in – were likely to be easier adjust to than rising sea levels and shifting and rainfall patterns.
From the outside, it was hard to see the influence Tom Schelling wielded over those of us who followed him, without ever handing out orders. Once, in a conversation with Mark Moore about something Mark wanted me to do or not to do, contrary to my inclination – I can no longer remember the original topic, about which Mark was probably right – I defended my intentions by saying, "Mark, you don't understand; I always wanted to be Tom Schelling when I grew up." He replied, "What you don't understand is that everyone in this building wants to grow up to be Tom Schelling."
Well, Tom is no longer with us, and neither is that unforgettable smile. So it's time for the rest of us to grow up and get back to building the monument.
Here's an earlier tribute to Schelling, from the memorial service at the University of Maryland.
And here are some of his thoughts on climate change and what to do about it.
Schelling's most famous book, and the one most likely to be read 500 years from now, is The Strategy of Conflict.  Micromotives and Macrobehavior is a  similarly stunning achievement, centering around "tipping" phenomena. The best introduction to Schelling's thought for the non-specialist is probably the collection of essays called Choice and Consequence; the two essays on "self-command" reflect his role in founding behavioral economics.

Donald Trump just appointed an Ambassador to Israel who has called me a murderer. Am I supposed to be OK with that?
The latest line being pushed by Trumpsters, Republicans, and some Very Serious People, including my good friends Gleen Loury and Megan McArdle, is roughly: "You lost. Get over it. Trump will be our President, and we all need him to succeed. Don't rock the boat by questioning his legitimacy."
I hear that. A generation of slash-and-burn Republicanism has so weakened all of our key institutions, and the norms of restraint, civility, and reciprocity necessary to make a Madisonian regime operate, that the survival of the Republic is now genuinely in question. There's a case to be made for pretending that Donald Trump is a normal human being and hoping that he will stop his pathological lying and grow up to be a real, live President. Barack Obama, the victim of Trump's systematic campaign of libel (enabled by Fox News and many Republican politicians) acted on that idea at yesterday's press conference.
But I'm not buying.
A seemingly minor appointment illustrates why I'm not buying, and why I will never accept Trump as holding anything but the limited legal powers the Constitution gives the President: no moral authority, no call on our cooperation, no presumption of good will or good faith, no presumption even that he is acting out of loyalty to the national interest.
Two days ago Trump appointed as Ambassador to Israel a man named David Friedman, his personal bankruptcy lawyer (which, as you might imagine, makes him a very important person to a professional bust-out artist such as Trump). Naturally, Friedman is a lunatic extremist when it comes to the Israel/Palestine question, asserting that Israel should deny voting rights and public services to its Arab citizens unless they pass some sort of loyalty test and that it is free to rule the West Bank indefinitely while extending no civic rights to its inhabitants and stealing as much of their land as it pleases for settlements. Indeed, he runs a non-profit designed to support one such venture, grossly illegal not only under international law but actually under Israeli law, as the Israeli courts have repeatedly ruled.
Well, that's no surprise. It's not even very important, since the Ambassador doesn't make policy.
But Friedman's hatred of Palestinians extends – as is often the case among right-wing Jewish extremists – to hatred of all Jews who aren't right-wing extremists. As recently as June, Friedman published an essay in which he said that members of J Street – the moderate Zionist group that favors a two-state solution – are "far worse than kapos – Jews who turned in their fellow Jews in the Nazi death camps."
Kapos were accomplices in mass murder. Some were killed by their fellow prisoners when the camps were liberated. Some of them were tried and executed for war crimes. Even years later, they were at risk of extrajudicial vengeance: undoubtedly illegal, but widely thought to be justified.
Now, as it happens, I'm a member of J Street. So Trump just nominated someone who called me a murderer, and implicitly called for my murder in turn. Of course I don't expect to actually share the fate of Yitzhak Rabin – murdered by one of the illegal settlers Friedman supports, someone who had listened to the kind of rhetoric Friedman spouts and took it literally – but I resent it all the same, just as I resent Trump's collusion in making anti-Semitism one again an active factor in American life. Of course liberal Jews are not the only objects of Trumpian hate speech, but equally of course I tend to take hate speech personally when it personally applies to me.
We've heard a lot from the right wing about how liberals get the terrorism problem wrong because we fail to understand radical evil. There's some justice to that claim and I'm working to improve in that regard. So I'm glad to report having made enough progress that I recognize radical evil when it moves into the White House.

Theology you can use
Great news: the theologians at Liberty University are about to answer the great question of our time:
what kind of gun would Jesus carry?
The problem up to now has been that theoretical findings, in the 'queen of sciences' as in any research, always need empirical, experimental confirmation; now these scholars will be able to go out on the range and do real lab work. Â I was going to stock up on a variety of pieces, just to be on the safe side, for the looming bad times, but it won't be long before we can pack certified Christian heat.
As a side benefit, we may also see that wussy "turn the other cheek" stuff replaced by a moral principle real Americans can stand behind, first articulated by Roger Miller in the magisterial Blake Edwards opus Waterhole #3 as the 'code of the west':
do unto others before they can do unto you.Â

Open letter to the class of 2020
The following letter (updated, expanded and edited for this reissue) was posted in late 2010 (many comments there, worth a read). In the last several weeks, I've been asked by a variety of friends and colleagues to post it again. I wish I could report that it's out of date, but the trends it discusses have worsened if anything, as more states accelerate the destruction of their greatest assets–Jefferson wanted most to be remembered for creating his state university–and half of our two-party machinery degrades into fact-free, willfully ignorant armies competing to sow hate, fear, and spite.
You've been admitted to colleges, and chosen Berkeley, probably still the best public university in the world. Next fall, you'll meet your classmates, the best group of partners you can find anywhere. The percentages for grades on exams, papers, etc. in my courses always add up to 110% because that's what I've learned to expect from you, over twenty years in the best job in the world.
That's the good news. The bad news is that you have been the victims of a terrible swindle, denied an inheritance you deserve by contract and by your merits. And you aren't the only ones; victims of this ripoff include the students who were on your left and on your right in high school but didn't get into Cal, a whole generation stiffed by mine.  This letter is an apology, and more usefully, perhaps a signal to start demanding what's been taken from you so you can pass it on with interest.

Hypocrisy and inconsistency
I agree with Eugene Volokh that the charge of "hypocrisy" – literally, playing a role – is way overused in political debate. Whether someone else sincerely believes what he says is not, generally, relevant to the question. Often enough, what seem like inconsistencies in an opponent's position reflect no more than one's own reluctance or inability to enter into the other's thought and find the principle or interpretation that reconciles two apparently inconsistent views.
Still, consistency remains a bedrock logical principle, and pointing out genuine inconsistencies remains a legitimate form of criticism. For example, people who defend the "religious freedom" of employers to deny their employees insurance coverage for reproductive health, but not the freedom of Muslim congregations to build houses of worship, may reasonably be charged with twisting the idea of "religious freedom" all out of shape. If what they mean is that they want the freedom both to practice their own religion and to prevent other people from practicing theirs, then (despite the precedent set by the Puritans) their views may properly be called "un-American," and their pretense to be defending "religious freedom" in the generally accepted (and Constitutional) sense of the term stands unmasked as dishonest.

The Pope is wrong to blame the crimes of ISIS on selfishness.
From Pope Francis' Christmas Day homily – emphasis added:
Only God's mercy can free humanity from the many forms of evil, at times monstrous evil, which selfishness spawns in our midst.
The paragraph does not mention ISIS (or whatever the label of the month is), but much of the homily is concerned with violence in the Middle East and in Africa. In context, Francis is blaming terrorism and other forms of political violence and coercion on selfishness.
Sorry, no. Coming from a Jesuit, this is astonishingly sloppy. It's on a par with attacking the 9/11 terrorists as cowardly, a mistake which Tim Noah and Paul Krugman correctly called out: a suicide bomber is necessarily very brave.
The medieval typology of deadly sins allows a better classification of al-Baghdadi's as pride and anger. Anger may depend partly on pride – excessive self-esteem – but its expressions are often reckless and self-destructive.
The Seven Deadly Sins only get us so far and do not account for the core of jihadi or other religious fanaticism: the paranoid world-view, unlimited and unrealistic revolutionary agenda, and jettisoning of normal moral restraints.
Modern social science may not have a full explanation, but it has developed at least two pieces of it. One is the mechanism of confirmation bias, the universal tendency to seek out evidence fitting a preconception and disregard evidence that does not. In the strong form, in arrogant and credulous personalities, this can create a positive feedback loop and lead us from a common prejudice (such as social and economic antisemitism), with some distorted basis in fact, to a radical dogma (the Jewish conspiracy for world domination) entirely detached from reality. Another insight applies to the followers: social pressures of group conformity and the psychological process of habituation can easily transform quite ordinary people into monsters. See Milgram's fake torture experiment, the Stanford prison experiment, and Browning's Ordinary Men, a study of an SS battalion recruited from unremarkable reservists, not enthusiastic former brownshirts.
These two factors do not explain everything. In particular, the European recruits to ISIS chose the movement over other Islamic, even radical Islamic, authority figures. Still, I think the case is clear that we cannot account for the movement's rise by any appeal to simple selfishness. The Devil has many other tunes.
Selfishness, in the form of common greed, accounts perfectly for the irresponsible marketing of prescription opioids, as much as the political variant explains Herod's alleged Massacre of the Innocents. I'm not defending it like Ayn Rand.

Teaser trailer for Pixar's Cars 3 introduces trouble for Lightning McQueen
Posted on:	 November 21, 2016	 Last updated on:	 November 21, 2016	 Written by:	John Frost	Categorized in:	pixar Tagged as:	Animation Brian fee cars cars 3 John Lasseter lightning mcqueen pixar
Cars 3 from Pixar promises to update the Cars franchise for the next generation of fan, while still tapping into the emotional beats of those fans who grew up with the characters from the first two movies in the series. Directed by Brian Fee, who worked on the first two movies as a storyboard artist, it starts with Lightning McQueen in a very bad place, as evidenced by this first teaser trailer:
First, Pixar's animation style has changed significantly. It's much more realistic. Also, um, that's very dramatic. This is the first film in the franchse that wasn't directed by John Lasseter. So we should defnitely expect something different.
Disney/Pixar's Cars 3 opens in US theatres in 3D June 16, 2017.
Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez, with her own plan to win, plus inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn't through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing's biggest stage!
Cars 3 is directed by Brian Fee (storyboard artist "Cars," "Cars 2") and produced by Kevin Reher ("A Bug's Life," "La Luna" short).
What were you expecting for the third installment of Pixar's Cars franchise?

Paul Douglas says:
As long as racing is back as the central plot and Lightning is the primary star, it will be fine.
I actually kind of like the new look too, though I sincerely doubt the movie looks like that for even the majority of its runtime.

Oh damn. So not showing that preview to Athena. Nope. She'd be in tears.

Punjab Govt to Make School Truancy A Crime For Parents?
By Academia Magazine
Not putting school-aged children in schools to become a punishable offence for parents
The government of Punjab has prepared a new Punjab School Truancy Act to ensure the enrolment of out-of-school children in public educational institutions across the province.
There are close to 23 million children aged between 5 and 16 that remain out of school across Pakistan and repeated attempts to get them back to schools have failed at various instances. The abysmal situation for this massive number of children being out of school is partly due to the fact that parents who fail to put their kids into schools get away with the criminal carelessness without repercussions. In the first world, children missing school without purpose has become an offence that parents get fined and even jailed for.
Parents of child absent from school for 243 days face jail
Newlyweds could face jail after taking their daughter out of school for their five-day honeymoon
Parents' Problem
Children's education and their attendance in school, therefore, has become a crucial responsibility of parents, unlike that of teachers as practiced in Pakistan. Most of the enrolment campaigns in Pakistan fail because teachers are made to conduct door-to-door enrolment campaigns to register children that are out of school. However, there is no way to either ensure that children attend school or force parents to actually send the children to school. Hence, the failed campaigns.
Following in the West's footsteps, the provincial government is now mulling introducing a school truancy law that will carry severe consequences for parents who deny children the right to education for one reason or the other. The Punjab government is planning to get the school truancy act passed from provincial assembly and implement it with effect from January 1, 2018.
Instead of the practice of holding teachers accountable for enrolment in schools, the new act has stated that teachers' job was only to educate children and the responsibility of enrolment rested with the government and the parents.
It proposes that it will be parents' responsibility to ensure enrolment of children aged five and above in schools, while the government would provide education, free books, uniforms, school boxes etc to the students.
According to the proposed act school truancy would be a punishable offence and parents of children who do not enter schools would be punished accordingly by the competent authority. They would lose out on several of the benefits and schemes that the government plans to implement across Punjab in the coming days. Such parents would not be eligible to get financial assistance from Baitul Maal or the Zakat department and nor would they receive any other sustenance.
Such parents would also not be included in government's Sasta Ghar Scheme and would also not be allowed to avail free medical treatment at under the government's health card scheme.
Parents of children in rural areas who get kids enrolled would be provided monthly financial assistance. According to plans, the data of children will be collected through NADRA and monitored for school enrolments regularly. Parents who would have failed to put their children in schools would be declared offenders and punished.
If executed in letter and spirit, the initiative could prove a game-changer for the fate of millions of out-of-school children in Pakistan. Making parents responsible for the schooling of children per law will go long way in addressing this malaise that has plagued our education system for decades. More power to the government!

Chapter 569 Qin Chu's Retaliation 9
Then, Huo Mian headed up to a VIP reception room on the top floor.
This was South Side's newly-built reception room, and it wasn't formally operating yet.
Huo Mian temporarily transformed it into a hypnosis room and hired the most renowned psychiatrist in the city, Jiang Xiaowei.
Apparently, Jiang Xiaowei obtained her PhD overseas, and she opened up her own practice after returning to China. She was the Public Security Bureau's in-house hypnotist for suspects and witnesses. She published a paper a while back and was highly regarded by top experts in China.
She was an amazing individual who was born into a scholar-gentry family. Her parents were both university professors, and she showed talent at a young age.
Jiang Xiaowei's parents told her to major in finance, so she was incredibly sensitive towards numbers.
However, at a crucial point in life, she ignored all objections and abruptly switched her major to psychology. She was indeed one brave soul.
Jiang Xiaowei wasn't someone that anyone could hire, because she rarely interacted with others. If it weren't for Gao Ran, she wouldn't have come.
At 7:30 PM, Jiang Xiaowei arrived punctually at the hypnosis room on the top floor.
Just as Huo Mian thought, she was a small woman who had delicate features. She had curly long hair, a beaming smile with cute teeth showing, and was wearing a navy-blue dress.
She looked well-read and elegant
"Hi, Huo Mian, I'm Jiang Xiaowei," she elegantly introduced herself.
"Thank you for coming." Huo Mian shook her hand.
"This is that patient's chart, I hope you can keep it confidential." Huo Mian handed her Ni Yang's chart.
Upon seeing his chart, Jiang Xiaowei's expression remained very calm
"Okay, I can give it a shot. When is he coming?" Jiang Xiaowei asked.
As soon as she finished her sentence, the door to the hypnosis room was pushed open, and Ni Yang came in. He came alone, without his manager.
"I'm not late, right? Can we start now?" Ni Yang asked faintly.
Jiang Xiaowei nodded at Huo Mian
Ni Yang sat down on the hypnosis chair, and Huo Mian adjusted the lights and music in the room.
Then, she saw Jiang Xiaowei take out an old pocket watch and drop it in front of Ni Yang. The watch ticked and tocked
Ni Yang's expression became lax
"Good, look at it, and listen to its voice" Jiang Xiaowei's voice sounded like a magic charm.
"Flowers, a lot of flowers. Pink flowers."
"What kind of flowers are they? Peach or cherry blossoms?"
"Cherry blossoms, a lot of cherry blossoms," Ni Yang answered calmly.
"There's someone standing at the end all those flowers. Take a look, who is she?"
"I can't tell"
"Take your time, walk over slowly, she's standing right there. You'll see her once you walk past all the cherry blossoms."
"She's" Just as Ni Yang was about to say who it was, he suddenly became agitated. "Go away, I don't want to ever see you again. Why did you pick him and not me? Why not me?"
Then, Ni Yang anxiously covered his head with his hands; he seemed to be emotionally agitated…
Huo Mian became nervous along with him. She slowly walked up and whispered, "Dr. Jiang, what happened?"
"We failed, he's hiding a painful past that no one knows about, and it has something to do with the person deep in his memories. I think it happened a long time ago, things like this don't get better overnight. He should go back and get some rest, let's try again another time."
Then, Jiang Xiaowei stood up, picked up her bag, and left
It was hard to imagine that a sweet and approachable woman like Jiang Xiaowei would be so ruthless at her job.
After Jiang Xiaowei left, Ni Yang woke up from his hypnosis
His expression was awful as if he just had a bad dream.
"Did it fail?" Ni Yang asked with a hoarse voice.
"It's okay, we can try it again next time. There's no rush."
Ni Yang bit down on his lips but didn't say anything
"You've been really stressed out recently, haven't you?"
"Yeah, I'm signing with a new company, and there's a lot to do. The contract and clauses are still being negotiated. So many people are jealous of how bright and shiny celebrities seem to be, but the truth is our lives suck the most. Every day, we work like robots and don't get to enjoy the happiness of being human."
"If you had a chance to do it all over again, would you still pick to go down the same path?" Huo Mian slowly asked.
Surprised, Ni Yang looked up at Huo Mian's clear eyes he felt confused and touched at the same time.

Ryan Gauld showed glimpses of quality but was generally kept quiet by Motherwell.
After Ryan Gauld's eye-catching debut against Elgin City at the weekend, Hibs fans were hopeful that the presence of the on-loan Sporting Lisbon midfielder, along with debutant Stephane Omeonga, would help the team get back on track in the league.
A cold Wednesday night in Motherwell, against a side with a point to prove following their weekend humbling by Ross County, was hardly the ideal setting for two players who have been used to sunnier climes this season, in Portugal and Italy respectively.
Gauld, perhaps understandably given that he is already familiar with the hustle and bustle of Scottish football, was the livelier of the two new boys, showing fleeting moments of quality, but he was generally unable to influence the match the way he would have liked. The former Dundee United player started wide right in a 4-2-3-1 but was generally kept at bay in the first half apart from one impressive bit of play in the Motherwell half that saw him feed Daryl Horgan for a shot.
Omeonga, meanwhile, struggled to get into the game as the hosts seized the upper hand before the break. With Marvin Bartley and Stevie Mallan sitting at the base of midfield, the on-loan Genoa player was the most advanced central midfielder but he was unable to impact proceedings. He was booked for a foul on Allan Campbell shortly the break and didn't reappear for the second half as Vykintas Slivka came on in his place. Neil Lennon said afterwards that this was because he didn't want the Belgian getting sent off on his debut and was no reflection of his performance, although supporters will hope for more from their newest recruit in the weeks and months ahead.
Substitute Slivka was stationed on the right when he entered the fray, with Gauld moving into Omeonga's central berth and it was from here that the 23-year-old Scot produced his best moment of the game with a sublime pass releasing Horgan for his team's clearest chance of the match. Although he looked hungry enough to make an impact and was his team's most threatening player on the night, Gauld, like all of his team-mates, will be hoping for more fruitful outings going forward.

Smart Television (Smart TV)
What Does Smart Television (Smart TV) Mean?
Techopedia Explains Smart Television (Smart TV)
Smart television (smart TV) is TV that provides interactive features similar to those involved in Internet or Web services. This includes the ability to search for video or interact with the television in other ways. This can be done through a set-top box or through internal technology in the television, such as an operating system that commands and controls these interactive features.
Smart TV is also called connected TV or hybrid TV.
One common example of smart TV technology is the streaming of video from sources like Netflix or Hulu. Again, television sets can be shipped from the factory with this interactive technology, or they can be augmented with a cable set-top box or a gaming console that supports these activities. Either way, smart TV operation typically involves internal or external hardware tools that can help users scroll or navigate through a screen in order to view movies, change settings or otherwise control the experience.
In many ways, smart TV is not a specific set of hardware pieces, but a process toward a more interactive design philosophy. It's easy to see how this smart TV approach has changed what used to be a passive broadcast into a high-design interactive interface. This is taking place within the greater context of new exploration into consumer interfaces, for example, where the tablet touch-screen has become the norm and wearable devices like Google Glass are being seriously considered.

How many TV shows have you seen which tell you how to improve the value of your own home? How to paint it, how to set the garden, what furniture to use, and so on. Little fixes adding thousands here and there. How many articles have you read on the same subject? All of these things are within your control, but some elements are not. Now, we all know that the same size house in a good neighborhood is worth a lot more than the equivalent in a bad one. It's common sense. The effects can be major. For example, even having a foreclosed property can cut the value of your home by 1.3%, and that could be a perfectly good, tidy house. But even within that, having one neighbor with overflowing rubbish, a messy yard or garden, waste material, or junk everywhere, will bring down the value of all the houses in the vicinity. That includes nextdoor neighbors, houses backing onto their property, those across the road and so on. In short, while we all want good neighbors, if we're trying to sell our homes, we really really want good neighbors.
Wrong kinds of windows, roofing, guttering and so on.
Appraisers will take one look at their overflowing waste, rusting heaps, and uncollected trash and will cut the value of YOUR house by 15% according to the Appraisal Institute. The New York Times estimates that even overgrowing grass and bad odors can knock 5 to 10% off a home's value. All is not lost, however.
Known as 'external obsolescence,' within the industry, bad neighbors are one of the first things an appraiser will notice before they even get to your home. So, if you are thinking of selling your home in the near future, you should consider what to do about the problem neighbor. Luckily for you, this issue is not one to be dealt with alone, as it is a mutual problem for the entire area for at least a dozen houses in both directions, across the road, and backing onto their property.
First, try to talk to your neighbors directly. This might be less threatening if done by yourself or as a couple. Many messy neighbors are good people, nice, but might have problems physical, mental or organizational, which stops them having a clean home. It is possible to work out a solution with them to get the problem fixed.
You may be able to help your neighbor with the problem such as mowing the lawn, lending equipment, and working with other neighbors if they cannot do it themselves. Everyone benefits and new friends are made.
It is possible to work together to cut the cost of hiring firms to pick up waste and to detoxify any contaminated land or water sources.
If the neighbor is not cooperative at all and there's no good reason for the place to be so messy, you can call the local Health Department. Being a health hazard, they may get involved right away, taking legal action against the neighbor and possibly enforcing either eviction from the land or a clean up.
It is also possible to call local elected officials. They want happy voters and if it falls under their jurisdiction they can act directly. If not, they know the levers of power and who to influence to get a good outcome for you and your neighbors.

Die Liste der Gewässer in Schöneiche bei Berlin umfasst alle aktuellen stehenden und fließenden Gewässer auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Schöneiche bei Berlin, zudem alle trocken gefallenen Gewässer, soweit diese bekannt sind.

Auch im Vergleich zu seinen direkten Nachbarorten besitzt Schöneiche eine vergleichsweise große Zahl an Gewässern auf vergleichsweise wenig Grund. Die natürlichen Gewässer verteilen sich vor allem auf den Norden und den Westen des Ortes und umfasst insbesondere Sölle. Vor allem im Westen der Gemeinde sind seit der Inbetriebnahme des Wasserwerks Friedrichshagen zwischen den 1920er Jahren und den 1970er Jahren ein gutes halbes Dutzend Sölle trocken gefallen oder wurden verfüllt. Größtes stehendes Gewässer ist heute der Weidensee, der nur noch gut zwei Drittel seiner vormaligen Größe hat. Der größte See war der Fichtenauer See, der heute nicht mehr existent ist. Das einzige natürliche Fließgewässer, das Fredersdorfer Mühlenfließ, war einer der Gründe für die Ansiedlung von Menschen auf dem Gebiet des Ortes. Von Menschenhand sind mehrere Seen und Regenwasserrückhaltebecken sowie Verbindungs-, Ent- und Bewässerungskanäle entstanden. Ein Sonderfall ist die künstliche Wasserlandschaft des Kleinen Spreewaldparkes.

Björgólfur Jóhannsson, departed CEO of Icelandair said last spring that Icelandair were looking at destinations in India and the company could start flights there in the fall of 2019. However, scenery has changed and now it is unlikely that scheduled flights to India are in Icelandair near future. This was confirmed by Bogi Nils Bogason, CEO of Icelandair, at a meeting with journalists on yesterday's Mid-Atlantic travel conference.
The interest of the two Icelandic airlines for scheduled trips to India has therefore greatly diminished. WOW air introduced its scheduled flights to New Delhi shortly after Björgólfur revealed Icelandair's willingness to look into flights to India. In December, WOW aired its maiden voyage to India but dropped the route just six weeks later.

Maradona goes crazy as Fujairah grab last gasp winner
Mohammed Fayad
Dibba Al Fujairah v Hatta
Dibba Al Fujairah
The Argentinian sends UAE media into frenzy
After signing for UAE Division One side Fujairah to coach them for the 2017/18 season last summer, Diego Maradona has not had the chance to be exposed to the UAE audiences for the first half of the season.
This changed when Fujairah were drawn to play against top division side Hatta in the Round of 16 of the UAE President's Cup, meaning that Maradona's side would be on primary TV channels Abu Dhabi Sports and Dubai Sports instead of being rooted to secondary channel Sharjah Sports.
Coverage and interest in a game between two minnows has never been bigger, with the match seeing Fujairah and Hatta play 120 minutes of football as the game approached penalties due to a 2-2 scoreline.
However, it all came down to a freekick which was parried by the opposition goalkeeper before a Haytham Ali winner in the dying minute of the game helped Fujairah beat the odds and qualify.
The goal sent Maradona into a frenzy, celebrating like a madman as his side moved into the quarter finals of the competition. He ran around the field and celebrated in front of the travelling Fujairah fans and continued his happiness in the dressing room, engaging in many celebrations with fellow players and coaches.

Fujairah have the possibility of being drawn to a big side in the next round of the competition, which indicates greater coverage for the team dubbed as the Wolves.

Jeffrey Kluger, editor-at-large at Time magazine, recounts the human landmark of landing men on the lunar surface. Kluger talks with Apollo 11 command module pilot Michael Collins and astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and, in archive footage, hears from mission commander Neil Armstrong about the achievement of the first Moon landing, and of the "magnificent desolation" they found there.
Author Colson Whitehead won a Pulitzer Prize for his bestselling 2016 novel "The Underground Railroad." He talks with Lee Cowan about his latest novel, "The Nickel Boys," a fictional tale of cruelty and trauma based on the notorious Alfred G. Dozer School for Boys outside Tallahassee, where the neglect and abuse of children was rampant for decades.
When NASA needed a lunar spacesuit for the Apollo astronauts, they turned to the International Latex Corporation, and a cadre of women who normally sewed latex bras and girdles, to create a softer, more flexible spacesuit. Tracy Smith talked with some of the seamstresses who fashioned protective wear that would mean life or death for men in space, and with Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison "Jack" Schmitt who was the last man to walk, and jump, on the lunar surface.
When Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, nearly half of the country's 57 million TVs were tuned to CBS's anchored by Walter Cronkite. Martha Teichner reports on the epochal event through the lens of Cronkite's enthusiastic reportage.
A recent New York City art exhibition, now at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, explores the importance of black models as key to the development of 19th and 20th century art, through their representations by French and American artists (including Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Frederic Bazille and Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault). Nancy Giles talks with curator Denise Murrell about how the Harlem Renaissance influenced painters such as Henri Matisse, and with Brooklyn artist Mickalene Thomas about black figures in art at a time of social and political transformation.
