The Atlantic Daily: On a Global Scale
Why the United States may not be ready to fight a worldwide plague. Plus the FBI's reproach for James Comey, how soccer teams find their stars, and more.
Rosa Inocencio Smith
The opening ceremony of the 2018 World Cup, in Russia, on June 14Carl Recine / Reuters
What We're Following
IG Report: A newly released internal-watchdog report from the inspector general of the FBI states that no evidence has been found to support President Trump's claims that the bureau was politically biased in its handling of the probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. The report also condemns decisions by former FBI Director James Comey, whose announcements to the public and to Congress about the probe broke protocol—and may have been less selflessly motivated than he's claimed.
Trump's Foreign Policy: The president's nationalist and isolationist tendencies contradict the attitude to world affairs that conservatives developed during the Cold War, recalling instead the "America first" approach of the 1920s. This worldview is also dividing the Republican Party, and could redefine it for years to come.
Pandemic Prep: In the event of a global disease outbreak, isolationism isn't a wise policy. As Ed Yong explains in this animated video, it takes a massive, collaborative international effort to stop a virus from spreading. In a feature story for our forthcoming issue, Ed reports on whether America is ready for the next plague.

Evening Read
Laurent Dubois on what soccer promises would-be players:
Soccer is the most popular sport on the planet, a universal language like no other. Billions of people play and watch the game. Many of its greatest players, like those in other sports, have come from the margins of society. Part of what draws multitudes is that soccer is a place of possibility, where even those born into the most difficult of circumstances can become global icons, celebrated for playing a game that explodes with joy and creativity.
Yet the men's side of professional soccer has given rise to a merciless process of talent identification and development that operates on a global scale … For top players, as well as the clubs and intermediaries involved in the soccer market's chains of speculation, there are fortunes to be made. For the masses of aspiring players, whose chances of succeeding are infinitesimal, the costs are human and in many cases quite brutal.
Keep reading, as Dubois unpacks the ethical questions raised by the sport's selection system.
What Do You Know … About Global Affairs?
On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates led an attack on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in the port city of Al Hodeidah, Yemen. The country has endured ongoing violence since 2014, as clashes among the Houthis and other Yemeni sects, backed to varying degrees by regional powers, have created what the United Nations says is the world's most pressing humanitarian crisis. The UAE says it wants to end the fighting by pushing the rebels out of Hodeidah, but aid organizations fear that that could come at the cost of a new humanitarian catastrophe, because much of the country depends on the Hodeidah port for food deliveries.
Can you remember the other key facts from this week's global coverage? Test your knowledge below:
1. After anti-Semitic laws during World War II forbade the performing of the Jewish composer Aldo Finzi's music, Italian institutions ignored it for decades, until it debuted at New York's ____________, in 2017.
Scroll down for the answer, or find it here.
2. At the June 12 summit in Singapore between North Korea and the United States, Donald Trump presented a four-minute ____________ called "A Story of Opportunity in North Korea."
3. In 2007, the chef and writer Anthony Bourdain was nominated for a News & Documentary Emmy for his coverage of the war in ____________.

Our partner site CityLab explores the cities of the future and investigates the biggest ideas and issues facing city dwellers around the world. Gracie McKenzie shares today's top stories:
The raccoon that climbed a 25-story building in St. Paul, Minnesota, this week is a reminder: Urban wildlife is a part of our cities. Here's how we could design for better cohabitation.
There's not a single state, county, or city in the United States where someone earning the federal or state minimum wage for a 40-hour work week can afford a two-bedroom home at fair market rent. But rental prices aren't just out of reach for poor Americans.

Reader Response
Peter Wayner recently argued that New York City's subway system is beyond repair, and that the city should invest in a network of underground highways, hoverboards, and autonomous cars instead. Benjamin Kreuter of Jersey City begs to differ:
The New York City subway is not broken beyond repair; for all its faults, for all the mismanagement, the subway remains the lifeline of this city. Mr. Wayner suggests that modern technology—autonomous cars, personal transit devices—can replace trains, but it is not as if trains have not benefited from modern technology as well. Computers, artificial intelligence, robotics—all these things are being applied to railroads, improving efficiency and reducing costs for both passenger and freight systems. There is a lot of potential in the subway; unlike most other metro systems that are double-tracked, the New York City system has numerous triple—and quadruple—tracked lines, which are currently used to allow express trains to pass local trains but which could be used to even greater effect with more modern control systems (for example, to allow a super-express service that skips more stops).

Both these biblical passages are very much true and real to the Sharon Fellowship Church in Kuwait. A small prayer group started in the year 1980 with only eight members in a house has been abundantly flourished by the Almighty with a present strength of more than 300 believers now.Since then, we can look back only with hearts full of thanks and praises to the Lord who cared and protected his flock all through these years.We also remember with gratitude all the servants of God who have ministered in the church,Pr. Mathai Kuruvilla, Pr.Sam John, Pr. Mathai John, Pr. Manoj Thomas and Pr.Joy Thomas as they have labored much for the growth of this church.During the period of Iraq invasion in August 1990,of Kuwait, most of members except a few returned to India. After liberation of Kuwait in February 1991, some of the believers returned back to Kuwait by June and resumed the worship meeting. From September 2015 onwards Pr. Aji Thomas is ministering the church.God has tremendously blessed this Church during these years and our Church is been a channel of blessing to many.May people who the Lord brings to our Church realize that they matter to us because they matter to God.From 20th January 2018, our church is a separate and independent church which is responsible for and manages its own activities and affairs.

America's slow-motion coup keeps grinding forward: But is Donald Trump really the one to blame?
The cliché is true: The unimaginable is real. Can we save democracy? Not if we remain hypnotized by Donald Trump
September 2, 2019 4:01PM (UTC)
We are in the middle of a slow-motion coup in the United States of America. Even the phrase itself is banal, which is itself a symptom of our moral and political exhaustion. But sometimes clichés are on the money. Most of this coup is happening right out in the open, where those of us who are somewhat paying attention can notice it, bemoan it and then move on to the next day's real or manufactured outrage. That doesn't seem to be helping.
There are no tanks in the streets; they haven't been remotely necessary. Despite inflated rhetoric about our tribal, cultural, geographic and political divisions, our society remains notably peaceable. There are mass shootings almost every day — and a disturbing proportion of them appear to represent de facto support for the slow-motion coup — but in historical terms violent crime rates remain low.
While the official opposition party expresses grave concern about the gradual demolition of constitutional democracy — and, in fairness, some of its leading members use forceful language and demand action — it remains confused and defensive as to both strategy and tactics. At the moment, it appears committed (if that's not far too generous a word) to relying on the machinery of constitutional democracy to defeat the assault on constitutional democracy, which is … I don't know what it is. Stupid? Naive? Evidence of collaborator's guilt? One struggles to find the correct metaphor: It's something like trusting that there will be enough chickens left, a year from now, to vote the fox out of office.
I haven't mentioned the name of the current president or his so-called political party until now, because I suspect we focus on them too much. It's not that they aren't important: Donald Trump has become the central totem of the American push toward fascism or authoritarianism, and the Republican Party has emerged from its chrysalis of self-torment reborn and reinvigorated as a far-right white nationalist party. But I remain agnostic about how much Trump is leading this movement, how much he is surfing a tide of toxic white resentment and racist populism, and how much he is being driven by others toward consolidating a caste system that in fact already exists.
Those are questions we should think about far more deeply than we're doing right now. I get why they may not seem urgent or particularly meaningful: For many Americans, likely a large majority, the priority is to get Trump out of office and replace him with almost anyone who has a vaguely normative understanding of democracy. But unless and until we grapple with the fact that Trump did not personally create the conditions for his ascent to power; that the decay of democracy is nothing new, and has been aided and abetted by both political parties and numerous other factors; and that the racial, economic and cultural caste system of America is in many ways the material basis of our democracy, then our nation is unlikely to escape this crisis in anything resembling its current form.
I have already used the F-word once in this article, and while it is clearly relevant as a descriptive word, it may carry too much historical baggage to be helpful. Trump is not Adolf Hitler, although some of the mocking historical echoes between the two are startling, and the Republican Party is not a fascist party in the classic political-science sense. Fascists of the mid-20th century were largely not raging hypocrites: They stood clearly for state power, military power and corporate power. They did not pretend to favor "small government" or "freedom of speech," and explicitly embraced a model of racial-national unity that excluded Jews, gay people, leftists and other ethnic or religious minorities.
One of the most nauseating elements of our current predicament is the elaborate rhetorical gamesmanship conducted around the closeted fascism or dog-whistle fascism of the ruling party and its nominal leader. Trump or one of his minions will say something overtly racist or anti-Semitic or anti-Muslim or anti-democratic (or all of the above), or will announce a new policy that strongly resembles another step toward authoritarian rule. We are all supposed to react in shock, as if this is finally going too far and surely decent Republicans will speak up, Democrats in the House will launch impeachment proceedings and people will take to the streets in large numbers. After some mumbling and shuffling around — and perhaps the token defection of someone like Justin Amash or Joe Walsh, Heroes of Our Age™ — we go back to the new normal of Netflix-and-chill while waiting for Joe Biden, but with just a bit more scar tissue and a higher tolerance for the next round of abuse.
It can seem exhausting, or pointless, to marshal the evidence that what is happening right now in the United States is a slow-motion coup — an attempt to abolish democracy not all at once but little by little and step by step, until we barely notice it is gone. If you do not believe this now, if you think I am exaggerating or being hysterical in the service of some radical agenda, then I can't imagine you will believe it if I list a few of the things that point in that direction. I cannot possibly list them all; it would be like the proverbial map of a territory that is as large as the territory itself.
In a story for the New Yorker about the "concentration camp" dispute of earlier this summer — which would be one key piece of evidence, already half-lost in the morass — Masha Gessen made the important point that all the mythology built up around the historical crimes of Hitler and Stalin has a distorting effect on the present.
In crafting the story of something that should never have been allowed to happen, we forge the story of something that couldn't possibly have happened. Or, to use a phrase only slightly out of context, something that can't happen here.
A logical fallacy becomes inevitable. If this can't happen, then the thing that is happening is not it. What we see in real life, or at least on television, can't possibly be the same monstrous phenomenon that we have collectively decided is unimaginable. … Anything that happens here and now is normalized, not solely through the moral failure of contemporaries but simply by virtue of actually existing.
A moral and cognitive choice is required of Americans in this historical moment, Gessen concludes: "It is the choice between thinking that whatever is happening in reality is, by definition, acceptable, and thinking that some actual events in our current reality are fundamentally incompatible with our concept of ourselves — not just as Americans but as human beings — and therefore unimaginable."
Here is a brief list of several of the "unimaginable" things now happening in America, ingredients of the slow-motion coup that is now underway . This list is in no particular order and was tossed off, without any deep research, over a holiday weekend. It could of course have been much longer, and I'm sure I have forgotten many important potential entries. We all have: The relentless onslaught of seemingly minor offenses is itself an important accelerant of the coup.
If you believe that any of this represents normal democratic politics, or that its long-term pernicious effects can be undone through the mechanism of normal democratic politics, then I would gently suggest that you have been deeply gaslit, and are well on your way to becoming an enabler or ally of the coup itself.
The assault on birthright citizenship. Overturning the clear language of the 14th Amendment has been a goal of the anti-immigration movement for years. Trump has signaled toward that many times — and has now taken his first baby steps with a rule change designed to deprive certain children born overseas to U.S. military personnel of automatic citizenship.
The proposed purchase of Greenland, which was perhaps never more than a feint or a trial balloon — although one of Trump's peculiar talents is that it's never possible to tell the difference between what he says and what he means. In any case, this was a gesture toward old-school imperial expansion or territorial conquest: In Nazi terms, Lebensraum.
The imprisonment and abuse of immigrants, under various circumstances, in different kinds of facilities and under constantly changing rules. The administration's sadistic shell game, particularly involving migrants and refugees who are exercising a right to asylum recognized under international law, has multiple effects. It's a theatrical display of racist cruelty aimed at the president's base, and a legal, regulatory and administrative tangle designed to distract, confuse and horrify his opponents (i.e., to provoke "liberal tears").
The constant rhetorical warfare in which racist, anti-Semitic or anti-Muslim crimes committed by white people are excused or minimized — or described as unavoidable or isolated anomalies, akin to fluke weather events. On the other hand, even relatively minor crimes by Muslims, black people or "antifa" radicals are viewed as dangerous terrorism, if not an existential threat to Western civilization.
The incremental exclusion or deportation of small groups of "legalized" but undocumented immigrants, including refugees from various war zones and, most recently, severely ill or disabled children who are receiving treatment in the U.S. There are no words for this, are there? Do I need to mention that in Nazi Germany and various other totalitarian regimes, children with serious illnesses or disabilities were viewed as unfit to join the national polity and quietly exterminated?
The equation of outsiders and opponents with vermin and criminals. As CNN anchor Victor Blackwell's viral video made clear, Trump has repeatedly used the term "infested" to refer to places where black and brown people live. Salon's Chauncey DeVega has repeatedly observed that this kind of "stochastic terrorism" has a clear end-point, and is designed to encourage acts of violence while cloaking the speaker in a faint aura of plausible deniability.
Deliberately confusing and profoundly hypocritical discussion of Israel and the Jewish people. Maybe Trump really believed that American Jews would flock to him over his support of the right-wing Israeli government. But other Republicans who loudly proclaim their love of Israel do not suffer from such delusions. Jews are less than 3 percent of the U.S. population, and have overwhelmingly voted Democratic since the 1920s. The real audience for all this doubletalk about Jewish "loyalty" is evangelical Christians and hardcore white supremacists. It's a new twist on a very old pattern: We love the "Jewish nation," but actual Jewish people, as usual, are "cosmopolitan" outsiders in league with destructive foreign elements.
Persistent attempts to delegitimize electoral democracy — a process that, to be clear, was well advanced before Trump came on the scene. Vote suppression, voter ID laws, extensive partisan gerrymandering and false claims of widespread voter fraud have been with us for years. Add that to the systematic propaganda campaign of 2016 (with foreign assistance), the mounting concerns about electoral security and Trump's specific suggestions that vote totals are not to be trusted. Is the end goal the actual cancellation of elections, or simply to create so much confusion they are widely viewed as spurious? You pick.
Constant "jokes" about how the president may serve 10 to 14 more years, which would require amendment or abrogation of the Constitution. This is so extraordinary it deserves its own category. While Trump undeniably exists on a continuum with earlier Republican presidents, none of them would ever have considered going there. The media and political classes, of course, treat this as Trumpian verbal diarrhea, barely worth acknowledging. Freud's observation that "jokes" always conceal a genuine wish or desire is sometimes applied too literally. In this case, at least, it would seem to fit.
Repeated suggestions that those who break the law on the president's behalf will receive pardons. This would be grounds for impeachment all by itself, if the opposition party hadn't agreed in advance to lose all the battles in hopes of someday, in a utopian hypothetical future of bipartisan comity, winning the war.
Governmental loyalty purges, likely more extensive than we know. These have certainly occurred within the FBI, the Department of Justice, the State Department and the EPA. It's reasonable to assume that the campaign to drive out "Deep State" bureaucrats suspected of disloyalty to Trump is much wider than that.
Blatant hypocrisy in the purported defense of "freedom of speech." Bret "Bedbug" Stephens of the New York Times, who would claim not to support Trump, is the star adopter of this new reading of the First Amendment, which now has a differential application to different social castes. It is sacrosanct for white conservatives on campus or in the media, who deserve special protection from all forms of mockery or criticism. It is nonexistent for Muslim members of Congress, black athletes, white leftists, women who speak out against abuse and so on — such people are simultaneously fragile snowflakes and would-be Stalinist tyrants.
The normalization and glorification, bordering on hero worship, of foreign despots and authoritarians. Yes, of course this includes Vladimir Putin, but it extends well beyond him to the leaders of other degraded pseudo-democracies, including Brazil, Hungary, Turkey and the Philippines, and also to flat-out dictators or monarchs, such as Kim Jong-un and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Far too many people in the foreign policy establishment, by the way, still claim to draw important distinctions between those last two leaders: Trump's friendship with Kim is a shocking violation of established protocol, whereas Prince Mohammed, journalist-dismembering and all, is America's "strategic ally." On this one point, at least, Donald Trump is not being a hypocrite. He loves them both! If our nation was actually the world's leading light of democracy, rather than the global enforcer of vulture capitalism, we would perceive them as far more similar than different. But then, if that were the case America wouldn't be in this sorry condition, now would it?

Unreleased Dreamcast Game Deer Avenger 3 Discovered
As if the discovery of Millennium Racer: Y2K Fighters wasn't enough, another previously unknown Dreamcast game has been unearthed. According to Reddit user wunderbreadv2, the pre-production GD-Rom of Deer Avenger 3 was found at a garage sale and represents yet another Dreamcast game that was never announced or even previewed by the gaming press.
Deer Avenger 3 was released on the PC however, and in it the player assumes the role of an anthropomorphic deer who turns the tables on the hunters and goes out into the wilderness to shoot humans. The game appears to have been fairly well received back when it was released in 2000 and the series as a whole comprises four other games, all of which are parodies of the Deer Hunter model. The GD in question has the title Deer Avenger 3 written on it in marker, along with the usual version number, date (16th August 2000) and the developer - Westlake Interactive. Westlake (now known as MacSoft) was quite a prolific developer and publisher back in the early to mid 2000s so it isn't hard to believe this is legit.
I reached out to wunderbreadv2 for more info on this incredible find, and how he came to own it:
"I actually found it [the Deer Avenger GD] in the basement of a women's club. They were hosting a garage sale to help out funding scholarships for high school seniors. As soon as I reached the shelves filled with VHS tapes I saw it unboxed - just the disk. The disk is a little bit scratched but I'm sure it will still run. The game was found in Bergen County, NJ."
- Reddit user wunderbreadv2
The last part is quite interesting as Westlake Interactive were based in Minnesota, yet the mysterious Deer Avenger 3 GD was discovered in New Jersey - a quick look at Google Maps will illustrate just how far apart those two states are. Quite how the disc came to be hidden away in the basement of a women's club adds further intrigue to the story.
Below is some footage of the PC version of Deer Avenger 3, to give an idea of how the Dreamcast version could potentially look:
At present, we don't know how complete the game on the disc is as the owner doesn't have access to a System Disc 2 - a type of boot disc that allows production Dreamcasts to run pre-production games. However, several members of The Dreamcast Junkyard's Facebook group have offered help and we are currently speaking to the owner of the disc with a view to investigating further and potentially getting the files dumped online. It's an exciting discovery and as we find out more about this mysterious and hitherto unannounced port, we'll be sure to keep you informed.

Japanese movie website Cinema Today has shared with us the latest trailer for the upcoming new adaptation of Kazue Katou's Ao no Exorcist fantasy shounen manga. The movie is coming to theatres in Japan on December 28 2012. There are still no certainties if it would be a filler movie (even though the story has no upcoming seasons) or a canon one. You can see the trailer below!
Ao no Exorcist (the manga) has been running in Jump Square since April 2009 and has already had a TV series adaptation which brought many shounen fans to the project with its charming characters and unusual settings.
Certainly not my type of shounen anime.
Love the manga, so I will watch it.
True that but I am still enthusiastic.

$30 million Heritage Tower renovation set to begin
Natasha Blakely
Heritage Tower strikes a simultaneously impressive and sad figure, but it's about to get new life.
After sitting empty for more than a decade, a top-to-bottom renovation of the 1931 building is expected to begin next month.
Hazardous materials such as asbestos were stripped from the building over the summer, and developer Mark Harmsen, as MDH Development, LLC., is in the process of taking bids for contractors to do the work on the roof of the building. He plans to have work on the roof started in two to three weeks.
He hopes to have the building open for occupancy in spring or early summer of 2019. Harmsen plans to put about 90 apartments on the building's upper floors, which he said will rent at market rates. The remaining 20 percent will be commercial space, available for stores and offices.
"We feel very confident of filling the apartments because of virtually no apartments in downtown Battle Creek," Harmsen said.
The building will be preserved in its previous historical glory, with key features such as the mezzanine restored.
"It's such a beautiful building," said Randy Case, of Architecture + Design Inc. in Battle Creek, who is serving as preservation architect on the project. "It's unbelievable the detail that's been done, considering it was built at the height of the Depression."
The project, he emphasized, won't happen overnight.
"Right now we're stabilizing the roofs to keep water from getting into the building, and that's the first step, and we're getting ready to analyze the windows and exterior, and the other team is looking at the layout of the building and apartments, and there's a lot going on, but it takes time.
"This is a special building, and it really deserves special treatment and effort."
How a shakeup at 616 impacts the Heritage Tower project
At long last, rehab work begins at Heritage Tower
Heritage Tower isn't a name with much heritage, and the owners have yet to decide whether they'll keep it.
The building was named Old Merchants Tower when it first opened in 1931, after the Old Merchants National Bank and Trust Co. that it housed. It was passed through a few different owners including Comerica Bank and Random Acquisitions LLC, and at one point had its name changed to the George C. McKay Tower.
"If Heritage Tower was the original name, we would definitely leave it," Harmsen said.
The ownership group Harmsen has put together to own Heritage Tower hasn't even finalized its own name yet.
Funding was the biggest obstacle for this project, which will cost around $30 million. However, Harmsen estimates that costs will be on the higher side.
Harmsen's funding support is coming from Battle Creek Unlimited, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek Community Foundation, City of Battle Creek and Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
City officials continue to express confidence in Harmsen's work and ability to complete the project.
"At the city we're obviously very pleased to see the project move forward with the completion of the removal work and the roof project," said Assistant City Manager Ted Dearing, "so we're obviously very happy that this project will come to fruition."

I looked for a place to stand so that my sign was clearly visible to the crowd. Occasionally people would smile at me and ask to take a picture of my sign. Toward the end of the rally a man who was wearing a priest collar came toward me, smiled, said "thank you," and asked if he could get a picture of both of us holding my sign! I was thrilled and asked if I could also use my camera to get a picture of the two of us holding the sign. After that I gave him my card and he left telling me that he would send me an email later.
When I left the rally I remembered that this priest was wearing a jacket that said "St. Marks" I assumed he was an Episcopal priest and I searched the Internet to see if there was an Episcopal church in Albuquerque with that name. I found St Marks Episcopal Church on the list and concluded that he was part of that parish. My experience thus far told me that a male, Roman Catholic priest would not be comfortable supporting our movement publicly. The only male priest I know who does this is Roy Bourgeois. I have always longed to find other brave, Roman Catholic male priests who are courageous enough to support our movement.
A week later I received an email from the priest and was amazed to find that he is a Roman Catholic priest on medical leave from his parish! The story from here oozes with synchronicity.
In his first email to me, Father Greg attached a write-up of his recent pilgrimage to Albuquerque that resulted our meeting at the Women's Rally. (Included below) When I first read this, it seemed too good to be true so I did a little research about Father Greg on my computer. I found the website of the parish where he currently is an associate pastor in Wilmington, Delaware.
So how does a Roman Catholic Woman Priest from Lexington, Kentucky meet a progressive male priest from Wilmington Delaware at the Women's Rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico? My only explanation is it was the Spirit! There is even more about this that will support my conclusion.
When I was reading things on the website of Resurrection Catholic Church in Delaware, I saw that Greg was a graduate from St. Meinrad's Seminary in Indiana. So when I responded to his email I asked him if he knew Sr. Carmel McEnroy, who taught there and later was fired because she signed a document supporting the ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church. Sr. Carmel began teaching a Lexington Theological Seminary after she was fired from St. Meinrad. I was in a class she taught on the Vatican II documents when I was a seminary student in Lexington.
Low and behold Father Greg knew Sr. Carmel very well because she was his advisor and teacher at St. Meinrad! He knew all about her support of women in the church and he supported her. Now many years later, at the Women's Rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico he is supporting our movement and me! Stay tuned for the amazing things that Sophia Spirit is guiding us toward as our movement continues to grow in Albuquerque.
"The Deer's Cry", attributed to St Patrick, is known by several names: "The Breastplate of St Patrick" and "Lorica" to mention two. It is a beautiful prayer celebrating a God within, among and around us.

Gov. DeSantis Signs 38 Bills into Law
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday signed 38 bills, including a controversial measure that will make it harder for groups and citizens to put proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot.
Lawmakers passed the measure (HB 5) amid petition drives designed to place a series of issues on the November 2020 ballot, including proposed amendments to increase the minimum wage, expand Medicaid, overhaul the electric-utility industry, ban assault-style weapons and revamp primary elections.
The bill places new restrictions on the petition-gathering process, which plays a critical role in getting initiatives on the ballot. For the November 2020 election, as an example, supporters of amendments need to submit 766,200 valid petition signatures to reach the ballot.
Among other things, the bill makes it illegal to pay petition gatherers based on the number of petitions they collect, a change that is expected to drive up costs for amendments backers. Also, the bill requires submission of information about petition gatherers, including their permanent and temporary addresses and dates of birth. In addition, it requires petitions to be turned into county supervisors of elections no more than 30 days after being signed by voters and includes penalties of up to $50 for each late submission.
The prohibition on paid petition-gatherers takes effect immediately, while other petition-related changes in the bill will take effect in 30 days, according to a House analysis. The changes apply to amendments proposed for the 2020 ballot, though they do not affect signatures already gathered.
Supporters of the bill have said it is needed to combat fraud and efforts by out-of-state interests to use the initiative process to change the Florida Constitution.
"Thank you to the Florida Legislature for protecting Florida's Constitution from out-of-state special interests and returning the process back to Florida citizens," the Florida Chamber of Commerce tweeted after the measure was approved last month.
But critics argued the Legislature was trying to block citizens from amending the Constitution.
"It weakens the people's inherent rights to amend organic law in the Constitution. That's a fundamental constitutional right that the Legislature is essentially eviscerating," lawyer Glenn Burhans, who chairs a political committee backing an initiative that would change the primary-election system, told The News Service of Florida recently.
The bill with the petition-gathering changes was the highest-profile measure that DeSantis signed Friday. Others included:
--- HB 49, which is aimed at making sure women prison inmates have access to feminine products such as tampons and sanitary napkins.
--- HB 375, which will exempt hospice doctors from being required to check a state database before prescribing controlled substances to patients.
--- HB 525, which renames Florida Keys Community College and North Florida Community College to The College of Florida Keys and North Florida College.
--- HB 563, which will help domestic-violence victims receive unemployment compensation if they leave jobs because of the circumstances of the violence.
--- HB 5011, which will add one circuit judge in the 9th Judicial Circuit, one circuit judge in the 12th Judicial Circuit, one Flagler County judge and one Citrus County judge. The 9th Circuit is made up of Orange and Osceola counties, while the 12th Circuit is made up of DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties.

Private Guided Tour to Nara
Deer in Nara Park, Japan
Today you'll explore Japan's first permanent capital and one of the country's most historically insightful destinations. Over the course of a day you'll tour the ancient capital with a private guide who will be able to tell you tales and give context to the city's fascinating cultural legacy.
You'll transfer from your Kyoto hotel to Nara by train, which will take around forty-five minutes and upon arrival you'll head to the Todai-ji temple. Until the late 90s this UNESCO World Heritage Site was the largest wooden structure in the world. The building is also home to one of Nara's most revered attractions, the Daibutsu (Great Buddha), which is also the world's largest bronze statue of the Buddha.
Next up you'll head on to Nara's most celebrated shrine, Kasuga Taisha. First founded in the 8th century this UNESCO World Heritage Site was rebuilt every 20 years in line with Shintō tradition. Today it's renowned for its hundreds of bronze and stone lanterns which line the pathways and decorate the shrine itself.
You'll finish up your day with a relaxing wander through Nara Park, nicknamed Deer Park by locals after the thousand or so tame deer that call the park home.

Mark Bray's "For Love" Single Review
October 19, 2017 Amanda Reviews, Single Releases 0
Mark Bray's song "For Love" is playful and inviting. The song talks about what a guy will do for love. His voice is flirty and gruff at times. The tempo is upbeat. Everything about the song is fun and catchy. I really enjoyed the feel of the song. It made me think of Garth, George, or even Allen Jackson. Bray's sound is that of Traditional Country which we don't hear too much anymore. This song brings back the sound of Country that will never get old. This song is not just upbeat, but it's full of the country charm we all know and love. Bray is playful and entertaining. If you miss the sound found by many of the greats then you will really enjoy "For Love".
Mark Bray finds inspiration from many different genres and eras of music. His music style is described as 90's country and I think that is spot on. I grew up with 90's country and "For Love" took me back to my childhood. Bray is driven to give energetic performance's that catches the attention of the audience. He is creative and charming in the best way. I look forward to hearing more from him.

Deputy Prime Minister on Grand Lucayan Resort
The content originally appeared on: The Bahamas Weekly
STATEMENT ON
GRAND LUCAYAN RESORT
THE HON. I. CHESTER COOPER
DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER,
MINISTER OF TOURISM, INVESTMENTS AND AVIATION
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR EXUMAS AND RAGGED ISLAND
Upon coming to office, the new government appointed a Cabinet sub-committee led by the Deputy Prime Minister, that includes the Minister for Grand Bahama, the Minister for Economic Affairs, and the Attorney General; to explore options to expedite the redevelopment of the Grand Lucayan Resort.
We examined the current deal the former administration negotiated and came to the conclusion that the way it was structured was not in the best interests of the Bahamian people.
The government was frankly not satisfied with what was proposed or that the project would be advanced in the short or medium term. We were not willing to continue on without clear timeline for completion and were of the view that many of the terms were not in the best interest of the Bahamian people. For example, the Minnis administration via Lucayan Renewal Holdings Limited (LRHL) had agreed to lend money to Bahamas Port Investments Limited (BPI) to renovate and develop the property. In summary, the deal was not a win-win for the Bahamian people.
Therefore, yesterday the boards of Lucayan Renewal Holdings Limited and Lucayan Beach Casino Holdings Limited terminated by mutual consent the 2020 purchase agreement between themselves and Bahamas Ports Investments Limited (BPI), a joint-venture partnership between Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCL) and ITM Group.
This effectively cancels the agreement between the Government of The Bahamas and RCL/ITM for the sale of the Grand Lucayan Resort.
We are pleased to note that BPI maintains an ongoing commitment to the development of a world-class port facility in Freeport. RCL remains committed to the Grand Bahama Shipyard in which it holds a 40% interest.
The Progressive Liberal Party committed in its Blueprint for Change to find a swift solution for the sale and redevelopment of the Grand Lucayan Resort to help restore hope to the people of Grand Bahama, and that is what we will do.
This is a major step forward as it now allows the board of Lucayan Renewal Holdings Limited to negotiate directly with other suitors.
Thankfully, there are several noteworthy entities that have a credible interest in the property.
The ideal candidate in our view is an entity with significant resources and a clear vision for the properties that is aligned with the Ministry of Tourism's vision and the long-term strategic plan for Grand Bahama as a destination.
We do not plan to belabor this process. The Grand Lucayan Resort has already cost taxpayers well in excess of $150 million. Talks with other potential investors will start shortly.
Ministry of Works and Utilities officials continue tour of Abaco and the Cays
We will keep the Bahamian people abreast of developments with this project as they occur.
We have a strong Board led by LRHL Chairman Julian Russell CPA and Deputy Chair Attorney Cassietta McIntosh Pelecanos that will guide the process for the desired outcome.
We thank the outgoing Board of the LRHL for their stewardship.

How Weird is That?
Mikayla Buckley
This project will help create data sets to train and test a machine learning algorithm that will detect anomalies in specimen data
How Weird is That? is training machines to recognize the language that researchers use to describe anomalies in the natural world (e.g., "in my experience it's odd to see this species so far north") and differentiate it from less alarming word uses (e.g., "the population consistently had an odd-number of segments"). Public participants are differentiating between these two cases and describing the abnormal feature as falling into one of several categories (e.g., the first example is a distributional anomaly). This enables earlier flagging of biological outliers to get the information to the right stakeholders faster. These oddities can mark the early stages of transformative change (e.g., an invasive species' arrival), so faster information hand-offs are way better! The lead researcher on this project is an undergraduate student finishing her Honors Thesis in Computational Biology.

Giovannino Guareschi (Roccabianca, Parma; 1 de mayo de 1908-Cervia, Rávena; 22 de julio de 1968) fue un periodista y escritor humorístico italiano.

Su creación más famosa es Don Camilo, el robusto párroco que habla con el Cristo del altar mayor de su iglesia. Su antagonista es el alcalde comunista de un pequeño pueblo de provincia, Brescello, el aguerrido Peppone (o, en algunas traducciones, Pepón), dividido entre el trabajo de su taller y los asuntos de la política.

Biografía
Giovannino Oliviero Giuseppe Guareschi (este es su nombre completo, y Guareschi bromeaba con el hecho de que a un hombre tan corpulento como él lo hubiesen bautizado con el nombre de "Giovannino": Juanito) nació en una familia de clase media: su padre, Primo Augusto Guareschi, era comerciante; su madre, Lina Maghenzani, era la maestra de la escuela del pueblo. En 1926, la familia se arruina y Giovannino no puede terminar los estudios.

Después de haber probado algunos trabajos absolutamente precarios, comenzó a escribir para un periódico local. En 1929 se convierte en redactor de la revista satírica Corriere Emiliano. Desde 1936 hasta 1943 y habiendo sido llamado por su director, Cesare Zavattini, Guareschi fue redactor jefe de una revista destinada a una discreta notoriedad: Bertoldo.

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Guareschi -pluma afilada y pronta a atacar sin miedo ni reverencias los asuntos que más le parecía que eran merecedores de crítica- realiza una serie de críticas al gobierno de Benito Mussolini. En 1943 es enrolado en el ejército, lo que aparentemente le ayudó a evitarse problemas con las autoridades fascistas. Terminó como oficial de artillería.

Cuando firmó Italia el Armisticio de Cassibile con el ejército Aliado, Guareschi se encontraba en el Frente Oriental, y fue arrestado y recluido en un campo de prisioneros alemán de Polonia, y después en Alemania otros dos años junto a otros soldados italianos: los IMI (Internados Militares Italianos). Todas sus experiencias las describió en su Diario clandestino.

Cándido
Después de la guerra Guareschi regresó a Italia, donde fundó la revista satírica monárquica Cándido y luego de instaurada la república, comenzó a apoyar a la Democracia Cristiana, principalmente a causa de su profunda fe católica.

En su revista, hizo fuertes críticas a los comunistas; famosísimas fueron sus viñetas tituladas "Obediencia ciega, rápida y absoluta", donde caricaturizaba a los militantes comunistas a los que definía como "trinarigudos" (la tercera nariz servía para que saliese por allí su cerebro y entrasen las directivas del partido en su lugar), quienes tomaban al pie de la letra las órdenes que les llegaban, aunque tuviesen errores de impresión.

En las elecciones de 1948 Guareschi toma parte activa contra el Partido Comunista Italiano que junto con los socialistas se habían aliado en el Frente Democrático Popular. Muchos eslóganes, como "En la cabina de voto Dios te ve, Stalin no", y el cartel con el esqueleto de un soldado detrás de una red con hoces y martillos, que dice "Madre, vota contra ellos por mí", surgieron de su ferviente inventiva. Aunque venció en las elecciones la Democracia Cristiana y sus aliados, Guareschi no relajó su pluma lo más mínimo: también criticó a los democristianos ya que consideraba que no seguían los principios en los que se habían inspirado.

Don Camilo
Don Camilo es protagonista de una serie de libros de Guareschi. En vida publicó tres novelas del ciclo Un mundo pequeño —Don Camilo (1948), La vuelta de Don Camilo (1953) y El camarada Don Camilo (1963)—  y póstumamente, en 1969, salió una cuarta: Don Camilo y los jóvenes de hoy, además de dos libros de relatos que fueron incluidos en esta serie —Gente así (1980) y El lechuguino pálido (1981)—, seguidos de otros dos cuentarios con el subtítulo de Pequeño mundo burgués: El décimo clandestino (1982) y Los del terruño (1983). Después continuaron apareciendo novelas de Don Camilo.

El personaje fue llevado al cine en 1952 por Julien Duvivier con Fernandel en papel de Don Camilo y Gino Cervi como Peppone. Esta película tuvo cuatro secuelas El regreso de Don Camilo (1953), Don Camilo y el honorable Peppone (1955),
Don Camilo, monseñor (1961), El camarada Don Camilo (1965) y
Don Camilo y los jóvenes de hoy (1970).

Además, la programadora colombiana Coestrellas produjo, entre 1987 y 1989 la serie de televisión Don Camilo, que contó con 47 episodios.

Problemas judiciales

Guareschi no podía definirse ciertamente como una persona conciliadora. En 1950 fue condenado a ocho meses de cárcel en libertad condicional en el proceso por difamación al entonces presidente itraliano Luigi Einaudi, al que acusó de intereses privados en la promoción de los vinos de su propiedad.

En 1954 Guareschi es de nuevo acusado de difamación por haber publicado en Cándido dos cartas de Alcide De Gasperi (primer ministro en la postguerra) escritas en 1944, en las cuales este habría solicitado a los aliados anglo-americanos bombardear Roma para desmoralizar a los colaboradores de los alemanes.

El juez no aceptó la moción de la defensa de Guareschi, que solicitaba que las cartas fuesen sometidas a análisis caligráfico para demostrar que eran verdaderamente de De Gasperi, como había demostrado una primera prueba antes de publicarlas. Guareschi fue condenado a doce meses de cárcel en primer grado.

Habiéndosele negado el recurso de apelación contra lo que él consideraba una injusticia, fue recluuido en la cárcel de Parma, donde permaneció 409 días, más otros seis meses de libertad vigilada que consiguió por buena conducta. Siempre por coherencia, se negó a aceptar o solicitar en todo momento el indulto.

En 1956 su salud se deterioró y por este motivo comenzó a pasar largos períodos de tiempo en Suiza. Al año siguiente se retiró de la redacción de Cándido manteniendo todavía algunas contribuciones con la revista hasta 1961. Continuó colaborando con algunos periódicos con dibujos y cuentos. En 1968 murió de un ataque al corazón.

China Begins Walking Back Promises to Reduce Pollution in the 2030s
Communist China frequently placates climate activists by promising to cut pollution in the 2030s and strive for "carbon neutrality" by 2060.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Monday quoted senior Chinese officials already walking back those promises, recasting them as vague aspirations that might have to be put on hold until Beijing achieves its industrial goals.
The climate change movement has always been remarkably credulous when it comes to China. At the big COP26 "climate summit" in Scotland in October, China actually "pledged" to increase its carbon pollution over the coming decade – but the response was mostly muted grumbling from activists who demand immense short-term sacrifices from the Western world.
At the conclusion of the Glasgow summit, the Biden administration released a joint statement on reducing carbon emissions with Beijing, hailed by climate envoy John Kerry as a "roadmap for our future collaboration."
Two months later, the Chinese are backing away from that road map, as the SCMP reported:
Addressing a forum in Beijing on Saturday, former finance minister Lou Jiwei said that while China had said it would "strive to" reach peak carbon emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060, there was a difference between this and "ensuring [those targets would be achieved]".
"We are a developing country. We should bear common but differentiated responsibilities that are different from developed countries," Lou told the gathering organised by the China Centre for International Economic Exchanges.
Han Wenxiu, from the Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs, was similarly cautious, saying the two targets were complex and long-term tasks that required full consideration of the country's energy and industrial structure.
"[The carbon targets] should not affect the country's overall economic and social development," Han said.
The day before those comments were made, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping and his Politburo issued a statement that said reaching carbon neutrality will require "unwavering efforts," but success "can't be achieved in just one battle."
The same statement made it clear that China will not stop burning coal to generate electricity. The Chinese are currently pouring record amounts of coal into record numbers of power plants to meet the soaring energy needs of their industrial sector. As several Chinese analysts explained to the SCMP, critical power shortages in the latter half of 2021 frightened communist leaders away from any thoughts they might have been entertaining about eliminating coal.
"Wind and solar power account for about 9 percent of China's electricity generation. The dominant role of coal in China's power and energy structure cannot be changed in a short time," Lin Boqiang of the China Institute for Studies in Energy Policy at Xiamen University explained.
Ma Jun of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs in Beijing said the statement by Xi and the Politburo on Friday was a sign that "replacements have not been building up and we cannot phase out fossil fuels in a quick way."
The SCMP's quotes from Chinese officials make it plain that China's willingness to compromise its industrial power in the name of climate change is questionable, there is no real plan in Beijing to hit "peak carbon" in 2030 or "zero-carbon" in 2060, and – even if Communist Party leaders do become interested in keeping the promises they made to the Biden administration – the sheer inertia of all that coal mining and coal plant construction would be hard to overcome, even for iron-fisted tyrants. After all, China still plans to build dozens more coal-fired plants next year.
