Killer alien robots may have wiped out all extraterrestrial colonies, says scientist
June 4, 2018 by Sam Francis
The reason why we have not yet found life on Mars, or anywhere else in outer space, is because a whole load of psycho alien killer robots wiped them all out.
That is the considered opinion of scientist Alexander Berezin of the National Research University of Electronic Technology.
Particle physicist Berezin suggests psycho alien killer robots from an undetermined origin is the most likely explanation for something called "the Fermi paradox", named after famous scientist Enrico Fermi.

Terrifying cyborgs move one step closer to taking over the world
If you're old enough to remember the cyborgs from the early series of science fiction series Doctor Who, you would probably agree that the Cybermen were without question the most terrifying villains to ever show their horrifying faces on our television screens. Ever.
But what's happening today in the real world is even more scary than that. It's just that we seem to have become accustomed to being shocked and traumatised.
The Cybermen were probably made mostly of metal and plastic or some sort of inorganic material – as in, they were not made of flesh and bone as we know them. [Read more…] about Terrifying cyborgs move one step closer to taking over the world

IMF warns of 'death spiral' caused by global domination by robots
Some people believe that robots will one day take over the world and kill us all, but these people have so far been dismissed as being overly concerned or more simply as "crackpots".
But now, the International Monetary Fund is warning of a "death spiral" caused by what it calls the "robot revolution".
In a working paper, Should We Fear the Robot Revolution? The Correct Answer is 'Yes', produced by Andrew Berg, Edward Buffie and Luis-Felipe Zanna, the IMF analyses the effects of robotics, automation and artificial intelligence on economies around the world.

I like both science and math. My neighbors say they're going on a family trip to Hokkaido. When I asked him to return the money, he pretended that he didn't hear me. I've had a wonderful time here. I admit you've been a great help to me.
Who do you think did it? I called them fat pigs. Carolyn has a longer beard than John does. Great minds think alike. Why was he living in the US? I'm not good at reading maps. I'm here with a friend. Did Blayne say thanks? Do you offer any day tours? Give her the keys.

There's no one as irish as Barack Obama! I just don't love her. She's away on vacation. There isn't much milk left in the bottle. My colleague and her husband are both American.

More than an hour went by before the train started to move. In recent years electronic computers have become increasingly important. Between you and me, I don't like our new team captain. This disorderliness is inexcusable. I wouldn't agree to that. Graeme is a makeup artist.
Jianyun asked Sam why she was unhappy. The paradise was in my heart. We were disappointed to hear that she had married him. What team do you play for? I'm disgusted. Thank you for understanding. If it snows tomorrow, I will build a snowman. This noise is unbearable. Keep quiet. The baby is sleeping. I'll be ready in two minutes.

I felt a small tremor, but rather than an earthquake, it was just a truck driving by. She took my words as a joke.
You aren't safe. Give me thirty dollars now and I'll pay you back Monday. Elwood passed away three years ago. I'll always consider you my friend. My son is busy studying for the examinations tomorrow. I had a right to know. There's no such thing as luck. "Drinking Fanta and telling noobs to shut up," Al-Sayib replied, taking a sip of the aforementioned Fanta. "Wait, who is this?" His first great work was created when he was involved with the guerillas. Leaving the flashlight turned on depletes its batteries.
Can you get up? Don't talk to me now. I think my French is really bad. My wife is having a baby. I think we can pull it off. He tried to make the robot run. I guess they really weren't hungry. We have to talk to them. Can you wake him up for me? You can see a lot of Native Americans in Alaska.


Most if not all sneakerheads remember where they were when the Nike Air Yeezy 2 "Red October" launched as a Sunday surprise. Most of us remember that because that location was likely not on our phones or by a computer.
While the true quickstrike launch sold out online as expected, one pair has landed on the web from another retail power. Currently, Walmart has the shoe available on their online shop via Sole-Unlimited LCC for a price of $6,499 (within a grand of the range seen on Flight Club). There's said to be only one pair left, (the price is outrageous and this is all funny if you'd like our take) with adidas Yeezys also showing up when typing the 'Yeezy' keyword. Stay tuned to Nice Kicks for updates on a roll back.

You will need to have changed at a variety of pipe joints blogs along with online spaces about this very urn. It is simple to use search engines to access the exact type plumbing data or tip you could be badly searching for but to grasp what internet source that will tap can be described as task actually.
Quite usually, when you key in an individual word/phrase, you get yourself a basket of various results who enlist a wanted search before your little brown eyes. This could be the kind and even quantum from work that the structured research operation is capable of doing for one. The initial round in plumbing search provides you with top effects concentrated on offering the labels and locales of offered plumbing people. The clear aim lurking behind such bookmaking may be the care that plumbing job does for the clients.
Our current study implies that every seven days, almost 19-25 Plumbing related portals not to mention e-spaces erupt all around the net referring to plumbing strategies, plumbing element technicality, plumbing related feedback device and domestic plumbing self-tutorials. Nowadays with the type of accessibility which is prevalent on the web, it is not cumbersome to complete your possess repair and remodeling do the job. If you merely follow the simple steps provided with, you can conserve on vast costs not to mention efforts.
Just here it may strike you- isn't actually there an excessive amount of information on a reduced common subject matter like Pipes? Considering the truth that not excessive those who have been that way taking care of plumbing centric data, the existing content are very good.
Which is merely touted to have bigger with the help of each latest day, as a good observed fad suggests that many guys contain begun eBook marking plumbing related site data onto various sites. Now don't shy from making simple usage of these pipes details. Now cleaning your drain and people innumerable pipes is merely a tiny task. You simply need to religiously follow the easy and acceptable plumbing guides.
It could be tempting; turning your plumbing revives need in to a DIY project to avoid wasting some spare dollars. Almost all homeowners currently have attempted, or no less than thought with regards to, doing their particular home plumbing contractor repairs. Even if an individual has an overall comprehension about plumbing units, it can be never smart to 'do-it-yourself' in relation to plumbing upkeep and maintenance tasks. Here could be the top 3 reasons for you to hire an experienced plumbing correct service in the area, rather than planning to fix pipes issues all on your own.
Every personal and professional property features a complicated as well as intricate water system blue make. A pretty detailed technique of standard water pipes, depletion lines, and waste material lines can be wrapped and situated in very particular solutions to complete some smoothly functioning plumbing product. In structure to detect the fundamental cause of water lines problems as well as to service them, someone must have got a complete familiarity with the white prints and that they are interconnected, ran, and also repaired.
The only individuals who have this professional training as well as education usually are licensed plumbers. In case a property user decides to help you explore the actual plumbing difficulty without this unique experience together with understanding, they may damage the machine even more. This usually ends in more highly-priced repairs which usually weren't needed in the first place.
For model, if you were having a worry with a good clogged remove pipe, they could think for you to pour harsh chemicals and liquids down typically the drain to relax the blockage. This, nonetheless, can reason more impairment if there are actually cracks while in the pipe that this owner is unacquainted with because of the lack associated with experience. These cracks make it possible for the severe chemicals to help seep on the water give and poison the standard water in the house or creating.
This is probably one way a fairly easy repair can be unsuccessful if you were not schooled and suffered in plumbing related systems plus repairs. By hiring a specialist, they would have that slow or stopped up drain line repaired per day for your small bill, and keep away from bigger revive problems later on.


Sometimes people know that they want to become Vegan, but they don't know what to replace certain foods with. The foods in this Top 8 list are foods that I have tried, and stuck with to replace foods that aren't Vegan.
Besides the fact that Olive Oil is a lot better for you than butter, it tastes so good! Forget the whole craze that "fat makes you fat!" No, excess protein and excess sugar (carbs) make you fat! Of course, you want to eat good fat, so eat your Extra Virgin Olive oil, and other fats I will mention on this list. Remember this: the darker the olive oil, the better. It means it has been less processed. Also, don't cook with Olive Oil! It goes rancid very quickly when heated.
Okay, so I think a lot of people know that Coconut Oil has a TON of uses! From whitening your teeth to putting it in your tea, but what uses does it have that are specifically for vegans? Well, you can put it on your face and skin as a natural, vegan moisturizer; use it to cook with instead of butter or lard!
5. Oats, Banana, and Water = Vegan Waffles!
Now that you know what foods to replace non-Vegan foods with, you're ready to get on the bandwagon! I suggest trying it out a few days a week, at first to see how you feel.

This is more about a tribute to "the little guy" in music. Not that Jesse Winchester's talent should be minimalized or marginalized. He wrote as many great songs as almost anyone, even though many of them were relatively unknown. But the likes of Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, and The Everly Brothers, among many others, recorded his songs. That's quite enough, thank you very much. But Jesse also put out a lot of records and did his share of performing over his 69 years on this earth.
He was quoted awhile back as saying, when he took stock of his career, "the only thing that made me any money was my songwriting." His records didn't sell enough, and as he said, performing live and touring was "too much aggravation."
Ah, what musician can't relate to that on some level? God bless the bands and artists who manage to deal with the logistics of all that goes into putting on live performances. Travel, food and lodging, sound and stage issues....it can quickly get overwhelming. Many of us choose to tour as infrequently as possible, even though the romance of the road is a strong call.
But Jesse, when all was said and done, was a songwriter first. I did see him live, in Seattle, back in the 70's, and remember a bouncy, animated little guy (I had expected a big, brooding, sort of introspective man, I suppose). He played both guitar and piano, and as some have described it, his voice was pure honey. Loved him. But in the end, he managed to live off the royalties of some of his great songs. "Yankee Lady," "Mississippi You're On My Mind," and "Defying Gravity" were among my favorite Jesse Winchester compositions. There were many other great ones, though.


This site honors a truly wonderful person: a daughter, a sister, a gifted musician - all these and even one more - a friend. A person who possessed a spirit of generosity, kindness and inclusivity that left all who knew her better off than they were before...A tirelessly enthusiastic woman with seemingly limitless energy who was taken from this world much too soon. If you knew her, come on in, take a look around & let the memories brighten your day. If you didn't, come on in anyway & meet Phebe Blessington...and you'll be better off than you were before.
Phebe understood the importance of "giving back". Her charitable works ranged from the endless benefits to which she lent her talent, to numerous appearances she made for organizations such as The Leukemia Society and Children's Miracle Network to her personal annual fundraising concert event "Phebe & Brian's Fight for Kids" . When the opportunities present themselves to continue this work in Phebe's name, we'll have all the details on how you can support & become involved.

Mayor Ras Baraka recently announced a $5.6 million settlement and new sewage transportation bargain that ended a seven-year lawsuit by Newark against the East Orange Water Commission.
EAST ORANGE, NJ — East Orange Mayor Ted Green and East Orange Water Commission Executive Director Chris Coke recently closed the tap on a longstanding legal dispute with Newark by agreeing to pay a $5.6 million settlement and striking a new sewage deal.
As the case was highly technical, the New Jersey Superior Court appointed a special master — a court-appointed attorney with expertise in the subject matter — to help resolve the issue without lengthy, expensive in-court litigation. The settlement agreement and sewer agreement were approved by the Newark Municipal Council on Wednesday, Aug. 8.
Both agreements had been previously approved, in substance, by the East Orange Board of Water Commissioners at its June meeting. On Friday, Aug. 10, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka announced the $5.6 million settlement and new sewage transportation bargain that ended a seven-year lawsuit by Newark against the East Orange Water Commission.
According to Baraka, the two-part deal resolved the dispute between East Orange and Newark regarding outstanding sewer payments and ended 99 years of Newark incurring all costs associated with transporting East Orange's sewage through its wastewater system to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners' sewage treatment facility in Newark. From now on, East Orange will pay an agreed-upon fee.
The new sewer agreement replaces the 99-year-old 1919 Sewer Agreement between the two municipalities, through which Newark only billed East Orange based on the flow of East Orange's wastewater through Newark's wastewater system of pipes to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission for treatment. Newark did not charge for the costs associated with the maintenance and repair of the interconnection of these pipes to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission.
Between 1919 and 2008, East Orange paid Newark 8.658 percent of the cost of Newark's total sewage flow, to account for its share. Sometime around 2008, Newark learned it was being underpaid and not receiving full payments, in accordance with the agreed-upon rate.
East Orange's failure to pay its fees according to the agreed rate was one reason Newark filed suit in 2011. The claims concerning outstanding sewer payments were part of a larger lawsuit; the other claims in the lawsuit, concerning water issues, were resolved in 2013.
Only the issues concerning the outstanding sewer payments remained unresolved, until Newark and East Orange reached an agreement. According to the terms of the settlement, the East Orange Board of Water Commissioners will pay Newark $5.6 million to resolve the issue of outstanding sewage payments.
According to Newark officials, the East Orange Board of Water Commissioners is also entering into an agreement with the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, wherein East Orange will become a direct bill customer with the commission. Newark is not a part of the agreement between East Orange and the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission.

Major: Journalism and Spanish
Years at IU: 2008 – 2012
What she did at IU: I was very active in student media during my years in Bloomington. I worked for Indiana University Student Television for all four years of my undergrad, eventually serving as sports director my senior year. I helped launch IUSportCom, a site ahead of its time that focused on converging all forms of media – writing, podcasting, video, etc. – in one place. I did a number of live broadcasts with Big Ten Student U and worked with Inside Indiana/247 Sports covering men's basketball and football. The summer going into my senior year, I had an internship with Fox 59 in Indianapolis.
What she does now: I currently work for ESPN's NFL Nation as its Minnesota Vikings beat reporter. My previous role was at the San Jose Mercury News as a multimedia sports reporter, where I covered the Warriors, Raiders, 49ers and plethora of other teas in the Bay Area. Before that, I spent my first few years out of college at The Clarion-Ledger covering everything from high school sports and recruiting to SEC football.
What advice she has for sports media students: Don't be afraid to take an internship after you've graduated. It's becoming more common for budding journalists to have to complete an internship or two before landing a "real" job. That was the case for me, and I'm grateful for it. I wouldn't be where I am today without my postgraduate internship in digital communications at the NCAA my first year out of college. It afforded me an opportunity to sharpen my skills as a storyteller before accepting my first full-time position.
And on that note, be willing to move wherever you need to for a job. Chances are you won't start off in the city you hope to eventually put down roots. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would spent three of the best years of my life in Jackson, Mississippi, but I took a chance when an incredible opportunity came my way and never looked back. It led me to career and life experiences in both the Bay Area and Minneapolis — two places I had never visited until I moved for a job. That's the way it works in this business. You'll live in unexpected places, meet people whose paths would normally never intersect with yours, have life-changing experiences and be better for it.

Change Is A Good Thing, So Why Do Many Of Us Shy Away From It?
We are all aware that change is hard right? Why? Well, for one, it is hard because we are creatures of habits, regardless if that habit is good or bad for you. We can all be successful at embracing changes if we choose to approach change as a challenge, and not with fear.
I believe change is goo, and helps us grow.
It doesn't matter if you are going through a small change or a big one, doing something totally different from what you are used to is sorta terrifying.
I love structure, and since change represents uncertainty it is often hard to welcome it. It is easy to stay in your comfort zone, stay happy with what you are accustomed to, and can control right?
Resistance to change and uncertainty often makes things worse. To be able to adapt to change is both a survival skill and a success skill.
If you want to be successful at embracing changes in your daily life, see change as a breath of fresh air! This will help you push through and move forward.
Why Do We Consider Change A Bad Thing?
We have all high expectations for our families, business, career, friends and relationships. As we know, most don't remain constant or last forever. That would be unrealistic and could leave us feeling sad, hurt, and disappointed.
As we go through our day-to-day routines, and through life's seasons we will notice change everywhere. Or moods go from happy to sad, lonely to content. Our friendships and relationships get stronger or become distant, our bodies change. We adapt to new technology, travel, meet new people, experience new cultures.
Our experiences in life changes who we are.
So why do we consider unplanned and unexpected changes a negative? Because we worry about and fear the unknown.
The sooner we learn how to adapt to the constant changes life throws at us, the better we will be at accepting them. In turn we become successful at embracing changes in all areas of our lives.
The great news is that embracing change is that it's an easy skill to learn.
What does that mean? Let me break it down for you like this. Ever seen an athlete compete in high jump? What do they do? They walk backwards away from the bar, then run towards it to take the leap. Without going backwards first, they could not jump high enough to reach success. ( Useless fact: The standing high jump is no longer popular, but was an athletics event featured in the Olympics from 1900 to 1912).
Finding new and better ways to do things, even if you have to go backwards first, can have an effective and positive result. To have the success we want in life, we sometimes have to do things that are completely opposite of what we know. Nothing worth having in life comes without some type of sacrifice.
Have you ever felt as if you are backtracking and heading in the wrong direction?
I've never driven backwards from my home to work, but I can only image how complicated and tough it would be. What I have learned is not to worry about the things beyond my control, and you shouldn't either. The universe is preparing you for something greater.
When I committed myself to embark on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth, it completely changed my outlook on life, and the way I saw myself. I enjoy aligning my life and work with what is essential.
Being mindful in every moment, gives you a better insight on what you need and want in life. In turn, to live a more fulfilling, successful life. I was able to take full control of mine, and you can too.
If you find yourself saying " I will never change" or " things will never change" then it might be helpful to analyze why your thoughts and attitude towards change are so negative. To truly understand what is happening, dive beneath the surface and go deep. When you return to the surface, you may have a little more insight on the steps you need to be successful at embracing changes.
Let go of the negativity and alter your consciousness to allow more of the good to come in. Life gives us more options when we are aware of what our needs are. You will find out what you can handle and what you can't, which helps you to figure out a better path to take in life.
One of the most tremendous obstacles to change is lack of truth. Be brutally honest with yourself so you can be successful at embracing changes that come your way.
Another great reason to look forward to change is that change will present opportunities to you. Providing you with more choices in life about all situations.
You are not forced to make a decision as you have the control, and not a sudden change forcing you to adapt. Take advantage of the opportunities that come your way, as real opportunities are the ones that we don't immediately see.
They come by at the most unexpected, inopportune, times. Our attitude when opportunity presents itself determines whether that opportunity will make our lives better.
When we do see opportunities, we often ignore them, or reduce the value of what is presented to us. Our attitude when opportunity presents itself determines whether that opportunity will make our lives better.
For example, when you are reading a book, you may miss the big insight on the first reading. By the third reading, of the book that same insight might suddenly click, simply because you are in a place where you can appreciate it.
What Signs Am I Missing?
How many times have you been offered a new job, to go out on a date, or even to go skydiving? How many times have you said no? Probably more times than you have said yes. Saying yes to opportunities can be a determining factor in terms of successful at embracing changes.
We can miss out on opportunities because they often don't look, feel, or sound the way we might imagine they would.
Let's go with this scenario. You imagine yourself walking down the street on the Upper East Side. A TV show is currently filming and asking random people to answer ONE question for A MILLION DOLLARS – CASH! The odds of that ever happening, and you answering the question right is 1 in 292.2 million. – Still a chance right? Wrong.
How about this one? A job offer is made to you at a startup company that employs less than 100 people. The position pays an OK salary, with the opportunity to grow into your dream job. Do you take it, or find a job you don't want to do at a different company that pays a great salary?
Whatever choice you make, think about how you would feel if the first company turns out to be the next Facebook, or Twitter. Even a few tenths of a percent of the company, will go a long way when you are splitting up billions.
Evaluate your opportunity based on its potential to make you successful.
Risk-taking is scary, some of them definitely are. To achieve anything in life, we need to take chances. The beauty of taking chances, is that anything can happen. You might fall, get hurt, or be embarrassed, but what if it could change your life forever?
By taking opportunities you can change from wondering to knowing. You can feel at ease knowing you took the chance at the opportunity – not knowing what the outcome would be.
Is there an opportunity knocking at your door? Answer it with a 'yes'.
To go somewhere you've never gone, you must do something you've never done. In order to reach your full potential, you need to step out of the routines you are used to.
It is easy to be successful at embracing change with open-mindedness. Fall into an uncomfortable situation? It won't matter because you will know how to deal with it.
Can we ever have life completely figured out? Nope. That's a good thing. Yet, nothing should stop your from looking forward to exciting things coming your way.
I once was a people pleaser. People pleasers are one of the nicest and most helpful people you will ever know. Why?
The word "no", is not a part of their daily vocabulary.
It was difficult to step out of my comfort zone. To look deep within to discover that this was a symptom of a deeper issue. Self-value and self-worth. Or rather, the lack of it.
People pleasing and kindness are not the same. I needed to make a change, and to give up the bad habits that were robbing me of mental strength.
Dealing with OCD, I love a super organized life. Sudden changes in plan often left me in panic and anxiety attacks.
It took a long time to learn and accept that change will be here, no matter how much I resisted or avoided it.
I had to leave my uncomfortable place to increase my acceptance to change, and decrease anxiety. Of course, this will take time, years, but I don't mind being a work in progress.
Change reminds us to be better and do better. It reminds and inspires you to keep up a positive attitude towards life. When you raise your levels of empathy and compassion, you are more open to listening and understanding.
Empathy is a quality that is integral to most people's lives. The higher your level of compassion and empathy, the easier it is to cope with life's ups and downs.
As time goes by, embracing changes will come to you automatically. Even when it is a tough change. You will grow to become the best version of you. It easy to lose sight of the feelings of others when there is so much going on in our lives.
Change comes in many forms in our daily lives. It has helped me become kinder, more cooperative, flexible and vulnerable. Do you see differences between yourself and others in regards to willingness to change?
And there you have it. Five simple and ideal reasons that can help you to be successful at embracing changes.
Embrace change. Be brave enough to take chances. You have the ability to tell your brain what to do, therefore, you can decide what you classify as negative.
This does not mean bad experiences you have had are now OK. You can learn how to filter mainly positive thoughts through your mind the next time something sad happens. In essence, you are training your brain to approach difficult situations with a positive attitude, and not a sad, miserable, defeated and negative one.
We learn and grow daily, so change might happen at a slow pace, but it will happen. You can, and you will, get through your tough times.
After regular practice, you will affirm your ability to be successful at embracing changes, and as a result, freeing yourself from fear and worry. If life throws you lemons, the change won't feel like fearful burden.
Remember, life's situations don't end, they change.
How do you deal with life changes? Are you open to it and embrace it, or are you hit with a stress bomb every time your life takes a turn? What methods make you successful at embracing changes in life? Share with me in the comments section below.
learning to embrace change was something that I had to do early on in my marriage. My husband is in the army so every couple of years we move to a new city where we don't know anyone. We change every aspect of our schedules, the kids schooling, extra curricular… you name it, it changes. It's so important to hold on to the constants to keep you grounded while adapting to all the change.
Change can be so hard sometimes, but as you mentioned, it's often the only way to grow. My husband and I moved from Florida to Texas which was a huge change, but it ended up working really well for us and let us achieve some of our goals. It was scary and difficult, but we did it together as a family.
I'm working on embracing change but I'm a work in progress. I don't know why it takes me so long to get on board because I've always had a lot of success when I do change up when I need to.
Really enjoyed your post! Embracing change is not easy for most people… personally I love change as I bore quite easily!
I really enjoyed your insight about embracing change. Well said! No matter how hesitant we may be to move on or try something new, resisting change makes it that much harder on us. And being mindful throughout all that process most certainly helps us get to know our selves much better.
This was such a refreshing post to read! Yes, change can be scary, but it's inevitable. It can be hard to embrace, but for the most part we experience significant growth after change. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I know it is difficult to embrace change. Your article outlined some essential key points though .
Change is scary, yet always necessary. I think it's hard to let go and go forwards, but the pain of staying the same sometimes becomes too much to bare.
Change is the universal law of the nature. I totally agree with all the points that you have mentioned. It changes our perspectives towards life and broaden our horizon.
Change never seems natural or that easy. We naturally repel it and often want to retreat back into our comfort zone… However embracing change in work and life is essential to growing as an individual and being a better person than who you were yesterday !
Love, love, love this! For me, change is hard to accept due to fear of failure. But it is the only way to make progress! Failure in change will always tell you what you are capable of in the present and what you could be capable of in the future! Great post!
Very interesting article really enjoyed it. I believe when making changes you need to be patient, Know for sure why you are making these changes.
Agreed that change can be challenging but often necessary for our development. A lot of what you described and the simple things you did, such as saying No when you have to, negative self-talk etc.. are imperative to keep our sanity in check. Thanks for sharing!
Change scares the heck out of me. Funny how you dont realize you are changing and adapting as youre going through the situation and in the same time, once you get through one another pops up. And it goes on and on and on.
Change scares so many people. They get comfortable in their zone. But most of the time the reason for change is a positive thing. Wonderful tips and advice.
This is such a positive and necessary post! Change is so important and I really identify with your advice. A lot of who I am is because my life took a turn, not for the worse, but for the better and it was my outlook that was messing me up, and now that I see clearly how positive that change was, it's made a world of a difference for me. Such a great read, thanks for sharing!
Change is one of THE hardest things for me to accept and embrace. I'm one of those creatures of habit that wants everything to stay the same. I know that there's no growth without change, but I still have a hard time with it. Your post gave me much food for thought! Pinned!
I totally agree that fear of change is essentially fear of the unknown. I've found that I'm better at dealing with change the more the change is wanted… like leaving my job to be self-employed was an exciting change so I chose to focus more on the excitement than on the fear. It's dealing with unwanted change that I still have to figure out how to do.
I find change very difficult in fact I don't do it, if, I can avoid it. I've pretty much always been this way. Then I found out the voice giving me all that fear was anxiety and when it turned to panic I withdrew, from everything. I have slowly started changing negative talk to positive talk and avoiding anything possibly negative. You know how to get through this as you have just told us. I can't wait to read about your steps.
I've read that the only constant thing in life is change. It can definitely be hard to embrace. But like you said when you do, some cool opportunities come along.

Northern Ireland Opera returns with Puccini's La Bohème this September
Northern Ireland Opera announces the return of live opera performances with a unique and exhilarating new production of Puccini's La Bohème this September. The staging of one of the most loved and timeless masterpieces in the operatic canon marks Cameron Menzies' first production in front of live audiences since he joined Northern Ireland Opera as Artistic Director midway through the pandemic in February this year.
This bold new interpretation will be brought to life inside the iconic Carlisle Memorial Church in Belfast across four evenings. A historic focal point in the city, this beautifully decayed church provides the perfect atmospheric backdrop to tell the story about a group of Bohemians who are all searching and desperately trying to find their way in life and love.
Cameron says: "The themes of youthful hope, the pursuit of connection, love and the very real and human desire for relationships, paired with some of the most stunning composition in the history of opera, seems to be what our audiences need right now both in terms of relevance and potency."
Of the venue Cameron adds: "We are so fortunate to be able to create this new socially-distanced production inside a building that has had a rather varied and bohemian existence of its own. I already feel that the power of the building and how it stands in its own slightly broken and faded beauty is the absolute perfect grasp to safely and lovingly hold this opera."
La Bohème is part of a surprising and varied launch programmeselected by Cameron for 2021/22 and will lead Northern Ireland Opera into an exciting new era under his artistic direction. Cameron's award-winning career spans the worlds of opera, theatre, music theatre, cabaret and film-making.
Northern Ireland Opera is an award-winning national opera company, and widely acclaimed as one of the most exciting operatic start-ups in UK and Irish history. With a philosophy of artistic excellence and risk-taking, underpinned by a bold and imaginative approach to programming and productions.
The Full Creative team and Casting will be announced shortly.
Listings information:
La Bohème will be performed in front of socially distanced audiences across 4 nights.
Dates: September 18, 20, 23, 25.

My research sheds new light on Russian modernism by engaging with the interdisciplinary methods of gender studies and the environmental humanities. My first book, Beyond the Flesh: Alexander Blok, Zinaida Gippius, and the Symbolist Sublimation of Sex, was devoted to the problem of gender and self-creation in Russian symbolist poetry. I am now completing a new book, entitled Catastrophic Modernism: Italian Eruptions in Russian Culture, which illuminates how environmental upheaval served as a potent force in Russian modernism's transnational turn. Contrary to the view that catastrophism is inherently antithetical to the telos of modernity, this study reveals that for a host of Russian writers—Alexander Blok, Ivan Bunin, Zinaida Gippius, Maxim Gorky, Vladislav Khodasevich, and Vladimir Nabokov—modernity and catastrophe were, in fact, deeply entangled. Critical of the dominant cultural narrative of progress, these authors became fascinated with the myriad natural disasters embedded within the deep history of southern Italy, ranging from the 1908 Messina earthquake—the most devastating earthquake in modern Europe—to the 79 C.E. eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii. For all their spatial and even temporal distance, these events spoke to Russian cultural anxieties in an era of war, revolution, and exile. They inspired an alternative strain of Russian modernism rooted not in Europe's metropolitan centers but rather in the elemental forces of the continent's southern periphery.
Broadening the scope of this work, I have collaborated with Anindita Banerjee at Cornell University on special issues of Slavic Review and Slavic and East European Journal on "Russian Geopoetics" and "The 1917 Revolution and Its Ripple Effects." I have also begun researching a third book-length project, which builds on my work in the environmental humanities and my interests in Russian-American culture. Provisionally titled Adjacent Ecologies: Russian Artists in the Pacific Northwest, this study examines how the vast region spanning from northern California to Alaska emerged as a critical contact zone for Russian and Russian-American artists, writers, and cultural figures as diverse as Count Fyodor Tolstoy (the "American") and Nabokov, who spent the summer of 1953 in Ashland, OR and claimed: "The flora, the fauna, the air of the Western states are my links with Asiatic and Arctic Russia." Attending to issues of colonialism, immigration, indigeneity, and the environment, the project makes a compelling case for the importance of Russian-American encounters in the region to U.S. and Russian culture. Thus Adjacent Ecologies expands our understanding of the location of Russian culture within the U.S. beyond the metropolitan centers of New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, positing the Pacific Northwest as a rich site of both local creativity and transpacific cultural flow.

Le padel est un sport de synthèse de plusieurs jeux de raquette, tels que le tennis, le squash, le tennis de table et la pelote basque. Il dérive du tennis et se joue sur un court plus petit (20 m × 10 m), encadré de murs (éventuellement transparents) et de grillages.

Le calcul du score est le même qu'au tennis et les balles utilisées ont une pression légèrement inférieure. Il est joué uniquement en double et le service doit s'effectuer à la cuillère. Sa plus grande différence avec le tennis, cependant, est que les balles peuvent être jouées après rebonds sur les murs ou le grillage, d'une manière similaire au squash.

L'orthographe padel (de l'espagnol ) permet de le différencier du paddle-tennis, autre sport dérivé du tennis, ainsi que du  (sport aquatique). Les manières de parler du padel peuvent cependant évoluer ou changer en fonction du pays même si un consensus est admis autour du mot padel.

Il y a deux circuits professionnels de padel : le World Padel Tour et l'APT Padel Tour. Les tournois se classent par catégorie. Le tournoi Challenger correspond au niveau professionnel le plus faible, suivent ensuite les tournois Open et Master. Une majorité d'étapes a lieu en Espagne et dans d'autres pays (Italie, Argentine, Mexique, France). Le circuit regroupe tous les meilleurs joueurs mondiaux.

Histoire du padel

C'est le Mexicain Enrique Corcuera qui est à l'origine du padel. Vivant à Acapulco, il n'a pas assez d'espace autour de sa maison pour un court de tennis et construit donc un court de 20 m sur 10 m, encadré de murs hauts de 3 et 4 mètres. Au lieu d'une raquette de tennis, le jeu se joue avec une batte plate en bois. En 1974, quand son ami le prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe arrive d'Espagne pour lui rendre visite, il y prend tellement goût qu'il ramène l'idée avec lui à Marbella en Espagne.

Après étude et délibération sur le design correct du court et les règles du jeu, les deux premiers courts de padel sont construits au Marbella Club, où Hohenlohe partage sa nouvelle passion avec la jet set. Le concept se répand ensuite sur la côte espagnole.

Très rapidement, des joueurs de tennis, y compris certains grands noms comme Manolo Santana, sont attirés par le padel et des tournois s'organisent sur la Costa del Sol. Un ami millionnaire de Hohenlohe qui fréquente régulièrement Marbella est impressionné par ce jeu et l'apporte avec lui en Argentine. , il devient un des sports les plus populaires du pays, avec une progression forte dans les années 2000.

Règles du jeu

Terrain

Le terrain possède des dimensions au système métrique contrairement aux sports qui ont été codifiés par les Britanniques fin  (pouces, pieds…). Il mesure 20 mètres de long pour 10 mètres de large.

Un filet et deux carrés de service constituent le champ (pas de lignes de couloir, pas de lignes de fond de court).

Un mur de fond de 3 mètres de hauteur ferme le court sur toute la largeur, il est surmonté d'un grillage d'un mètre et prolongé par angle droit de chaque côté de la longueur du court par un mur de 2 mètres.

Les deux murs de retour de 2 mètres sont liés à leurs équivalents de l'autre côté du terrain par un grillage de 12 mètres de long.

Les murs peuvent être transparents (verre trempé).

La surface de jeu est en gazon synthétique ou en moquette aiguilletée.

Raquettes et balles

Les raquettes sont remplies de mousse et ne possèdent pas de cordage, leur surface de frappe est percée de trous. D'une masse d'environ 370 g en moyenne, elles utilisent dans les années 2020 des matériaux présents dans d'autres sports de raquettes (carbone, kevlar, graphite, fibre de verre).

L'épaisseur d'une raquette est de 38 mm (selon le règlement FIP). Les différentes densités de mousse EVA remplissant le tamis, la forme de la raquette (ronde, diamant, goutte d'eau) et la répartition de la masse (tête, tamis, pont) permettent d'obtenir des modèles adaptés à un jeu de « toucher » ou à un style de jeu basé sur la « puissance ». Un cordon de sécurité reliant la raquette au poignet du joueur se trouve inséré dans l'extrémité du manche, la FIP stipule que son utilisation est obligatoire.

Même si visuellement elles ressemblent aux balles de tennis, il existe des balles spécifiques au padel (pression et diamètre légèrement inférieurs).

Service
Le service s'effectue à la cuillère (sans frapper la balle plus haut que la ceinture), doit être croisé, et en commençant de droite à gauche.

Un service qui touche le grillage après un rebond est « faute » (ce qui n'est pas le cas d'une balle en échange).

Au service, la balle qui effleure la bande du filet et retombe dans le carré de service visé, qui touche le grillage après deux rebonds au sol ou qui tape l'angle du mur à la limite du grillage est let (i.e. doit être rejoué).

Échange

Dans l'échange, après un rebond au sol, la balle peut toucher n'importe quelle autre surface plusieurs fois (excepté le sol). Ainsi, la poignée de la porte, les grillages, les murs… font partie du terrain et induisent des trajectoires inattendues.

Le second rebond au sol marque la perte du point pour le relanceur. De même qu'une balle qui, après un premier rebond au sol, sort de l'enceinte. Une balle qui, après avoir rebondi contre un mur, revient dans le camp du frappeur lui vaut un point également.

En revanche, après avoir franchi le filet, toute balle qui touche en premier une autre surface que le sol est « faute » pour l'envoyeur.

Les points se comptent comme au tennis (15, 30, 40, jeu, set, match). Une partie se déroule en 2 sets gagnants. En cas d'égalité au troisième set, la partie se décide par un super tie-break de 12 points.

Tournois en France

Il existe 3 types de tournois en France : Homme, Femme et Mixte.

Pour les tournois Hommes et Femmes, il existe plusieurs catégories : P25, P100, P250, P500, P1000 et P2000

Pour les tournois mixtes, il en existe deux : P100 et P250.

Ces appellations sont similaires à celles du circuit professionnel de tennis, l'ATP. Elles correspondent au nombre de points qu'empoche chacun des vainqueurs du tournoi.
Par exemple, une équipe composée d'un joueur A et B gagne la finale d'un tournoi P250, alors 250 points sont ajoutés leur classement individuel.

Dans le monde

Le padel est le sport de synthèse de plusieurs jeux de raquette, tels que le tennis, le squash, le tennis de table et la pelote basque. C'est un cocktail disciplinaire qui a séduit depuis ses débuts les pays sud-américains et l'Espagne, puis l'Europe. En Argentine, il est devenu sport national avec plus de 4 millions de joueurs, et en Espagne la barre du million a été dépassée dès les années 1980. Dans les années 2010, les pays européens voisins (France, Belgique, Italie et Angleterre) ont attrapé le virus de ce « sport de ville ».

En France, par son caractère ludique mais technique, il séduit de nombreux champions et championnes de sports de raquette comme Henri Leconte, mais aussi Arnaud Clément, Gaël Monfils, etc. En Belgique, Christophe Rochus est l'un des ambassadeurs du padel.
Une Fédération française de padel a d'abord été créée. Mais en 2014, le padel intègre la Fédération française de tennis. La France compte 325 clubs de padel en 2019 avec un total de 705 terrains de padel.

Au Portugal, le padel est encadré par deux associations, la Fédération portugaise de tennis et la Fédération portugaise de padel, qui organisent chacune indépendamment de l'autre des évènements sportifs. Cette situation se doit au caractère assez récent de cette pratique, au départ développée au sein des pratiquants du tennis. Cependant seule la fédération de tennis dispose dans les années 2010 du statut de la reconnaissance d'utilité publique du droit portugais.

En Belgique et depuis 2008, le padel est encadré  d'un point de vue national par Padel Belgium. Le sport étant une compétence communautaire, plusieurs fédérations régionales existent. Sur le territoire de la Fédération-Wallonie-Bruxelles, l'association Francophone de Padel (AFPadel) encadre le sport entre 2015 et 2021. C'est ensuite l'association Francophone de tennis (AFT) qui a reçu une reconnaissance probatoire d'un an pour l'année 2022. Sur le territoire Flamand, c'est Padel Vlaanderen puis l'aile Padel de tennis Vlaanderen qui encadre le développement du padel.

Public Release: 20-Nov-2013
Size, connectivity of brain region linked to anxiety level in young children, Stanford study shows
Stanford University Medical Center
STANFORD, Calif. -- Prolonged stress and anxiety during childhood is a risk factor for developing anxiety disorders and depression later in life. Now, Stanford University School of Medicine researchers have shown that by measuring the size and connectivity of a part of the brain associated with processing emotion -- the amygdala -- they can predict the degree of anxiety a young child is experiencing in daily life.
They found that the larger the amygdala and the stronger its connections with other parts of the brain involved in perception and regulation of emotion, the greater the amount of anxiety a child was experiencing.
The findings do not mean that a young child with an enlarged and highly connected amygdala will necessarily go on to develop a mood disorder, said Vinod Menon, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and senior author of the study, which will be published online Nov. 20 in Biological Psychiatry.
"We are not at a point where we can use these findings to predict the likelihood of a child developing mood and anxiety disorders as an adult, but it is an important step in the identification of young children at risk for clinical anxiety," Menon said.
Participants in the study were 76 children ages 7 to 9. "For the cognitive emotional assessments to be reliable, 7 years old is about as young as a child can be," said Menon, who is a member of the Child Health Research Institute at Stanford. "But the changes to the amygdala may have started earlier."
The parents of the children in the study filled out the Childhood Behavior Checklist, a standard measure of a child's general cognitive, social and emotional well-being. All the children in the study were typically developing, with no history of neurological or psychiatric disorders, and were not using medication. None of the children in the study were experiencing so much anxiety in their daily lives that they could be considered clinically anxious.
The researchers compared the results of the assessment with the size and connectivity data of each child's brain to draw their conclusions.
Anxiety is a common emotional reaction to stress. It normally helps us cope with difficult situations. But sustained anxiety can lead to disabling conditions such as phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.
Studies of adults suffering from anxiety disorders have shown that they possess enlarged, highly connected amygdalae. Studies of laboratory animals placed in an environment causing chronic stress have determined that the animals' amygdalae grew additional synapses and that synaptic connectivity increased in response to the resulting persistent anxiety.
The amygdala is an evolutionarily primitive part of the brain located deep in the temporal lobe. It comprises several subregions associated with different aspects of perceiving, learning and regulating emotions.
The basolateral amygdala, a subregion important for processing emotion-related sensory information and communicating it to the neocortex -- the evolutionarily newer part of the brain -- is specifically where Shaozheng Qin, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar and lead author of the study, detected the enlargement.
Qin used magnetic resonance imaging to measure the size of the various subregions of the amygdala and functional MRI to measure the connectivity of those regions to other areas of the brain.
"The basolateral amygdala had stronger functional connections with multiple areas of the neocortex in children with higher anxiety levels," Qin said.
The researchers identified four functional neocortical systems that were affected. One of the systems deals with perception, another with attention and vigilance, a third with reward and motivation, and the fourth with detection of salient emotional stimuli and regulation of emotional responses.
"All four of these core systems are impacted by childhood anxiety," Qin said.
Menon said they were surprised that alterations to the structure and connectivity of the amygdala were so significant in the children with higher levels of anxiety, given both the young age of the children and the fact that their anxiety levels were too low to be considered clinical.
The study provides important new insights into the developmental origins of anxiety, he added. Understanding the influence of childhood anxiety on specific amygdala circuits, as identified in the study, could aid in the early identification and treatment of children at risk for anxiety disorders.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health (grants HD047520, HD059205 and MH084164), the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, Stanford's Child Health Research Institute and the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health.

it appears as laravel is saving the session to file.
this happens only about 10 times a month, but still it give those users a problem.
my guess is that something happens on the system which leads to this error.
something like another process running which opens too much files.
any ideas or thoughts on how i can investigate this?
thanks.

In Memoriam: Philip P. Choy (1926-2017)
Philip P. Choy. Photo from CHSA.
"Phil tirelessly devoted himself to research, preservation and education of Chinese American history."
Chinese American architect and historian passed away on March 16, 2017. From the Chinese Historical Society of America:
"Phil tirelessly devoted himself to research, preservation and education of Chinese American history. Together with the late Him Mark Lai, Phil taught the first Chinese American history course at San Francisco State University. Course material he co-authored, The History of The Chinese in California, A Syllabus, is a well-respected publication that is repeatedly referenced today. In the early 1970s, Phil hosted the groundbreaking PBS series Gum Saan Haak, The Chinese of America, the first extensive documentary series about Chinese American history.
His passing is a great loss for the community. Phil was an activist. He challenged the organizers of the Transcontinental Railroad Centennial in 1969 to recognize the role of Chinese laborers in its completion. Known for his preservation work, he submitted the case report for Angel Island Immigration Station which resulted in it being listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In Oroville, California, Phil designed the Temple Tapestry Hall to complement the adjacent historic Chinese temple and to house its extensive Chinese folk art collection."
Choy was most recently interviewed as a scholar in The Chinese Exclusion Act PBS documentary, co-directed by Ric Burns and Li-Shin Yu, and co-produced by CAAM. The film held it's west coast premiere on Sunday to a sold out crowd at the Castro Theatre, where Choy was acknowledged.

There have been three baronetcies created for persons with the surname Humble, two in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. All are extinct.

The Humble Baronetcy, of London, was created in the Baronetage of England on 21 June 1660 for William Humble, in recognition of the £20,000 he provided to the exiled Charles II. The third Baronet was killed in a quarrel at the Blue Posts Tavern. The title became extinct on the early death of the sixth Baronet in 1745.

The Humble Baronetcy, of Kensington in the County of Middlesex, was created in the Baronetage of England on 16 March 1687 for William Humble. He was the second son of the first Baronet of the 1660 creation. The title became extinct on Humble's death in 1709.

The Humble, later Nugent Baronetcy, of Cloncoskoran in the County of Waterford, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 September 1831. For more information on this creation, see Nugent baronets.

Does convex hypersurface necessarily bound a convex domain?
Let $H\in M$ be a convex hypersurface, where $M$ is a complete Riemannian manifold and $H$ is an embedded (complete as a induced metric space) hyper surface without boundary and with positive definite second fundamental form. Is it true that $H$ bound a convex domain $D$ in $M$? i.e. any two point $x, y \in D$ can be connected by a minimal geodesic lies in $D$ and $\partial D=H$.
I suspect this is not true in general, but can anyone provide a countexample or any references?
Counterexample 1: If $D$ is a ball of radius $\frac13$ on the torus $T=\mathbb R^n/\mathbb Z^n$, you can take two points on the opposite sides of the ball such that the minimal geodesic connecting them does not stay in $D$. The boundary $\partial D$ has a strictly positive definite second fundamental form.
Counterexample 2: Let $M$ be your favorite Riemannian manifold and $H$ a convex hypersurface that bounds a domain $D$. Take two points $x,y\in D$ so that $d(x,y)>d(x,H)+d(y,H)$. By rescaling the metric outside $\bar D$, you can force the minimal geodesic joining $x$ and $y$ to exit $\bar D$.
Counterexample 3: It can happen that the hypersurface $H$ does not bound a domain, meaning that $M\setminus H$ has only one connected component. If there are two components in the complement, you can always build a handle between them.

Q: A key is bound to a function or a key binds to a function? For example, I have a shortcut Ctrl-x that executes "Cut" action when press. Should I say "Ctrl-x is bound to Cut" or "Ctrl-x binds to Cut"?

A: Neither.
You should say

Cut is bound to ctrl-x

Strange Coincidences Between Lincoln and Kennedy
Sometimes it seems like everyone is looking to find a conspiracy. Take a few interesting tidbits of information, twist a few facts, ignore a few others, and spread it like wildfire until it becomes urban legend. One example we can think of is the supposed relationship between the lives (and deaths) of former Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. We took a look at some of the similarities and found that it's hard to deny that there are some unusual coincidences that exist, but (with the help of Snopes) found that there are some falsehoods and misrepresentations which perpetuate the myth. There is also a lot of numerical conspiracy evidence here which you either buy into or you don't. We sort out the facts from the lies below so that you can draw your own conclusion.
Their Tenure:
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846 and was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946 and was elected President in 1960. That's a weird coincidence for sure, but totally possible given that Presidents are elected every four years. Another odd coincidence is that Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy, and Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln. Strange right? Then comes the numerology - the names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
Adding to the strange similarities between the presidents is that both saw their wives lose their children while living in the White House. Lincoln lost his eleven-year-old son Willie to typhoid after his first year in office. The Kennedy's had a child born prematurely who would die two days later.
Some say that both were particularly concerned with civil rights. That's fair, but keep in mind that civil rights were probably the biggest challenges they faced when taking office. Lincoln was trying to keep a nation from falling apart over the issue of slavery. Kennedy meanwhile saw civil rights as a moral issue which threatened the nation in a time when racial tensions were escalating.
Their Successors
Both Presidents were succeeded by Southerners who were named Johnson: Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln after his assassination, was born on December 29, 1808, in Raleigh, NC. Though he may have been born on southern soil, he remained loyal to the Union when his state when it seceded - the only Southern senator who did so. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born on August 27, 1908, in Stonewall, TX. Both names contain 13 letters.
Their Killers
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. It has been said that John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. In reality, his birth date is May 10, 1838. It seems conspiracy theorists have fudged the numbers to make it fit the story. They were known by their three names, but the thing is, they were not called by their full names until after the assassinations. Both middle names do contain six letters, and their full names each contain fifteen letters - though they were known to use aliases.
It's not quite true that both were Southerners: Oswald was born in Louisiana, but lived in Texas and New York as well. It's doubtful he had any sort of 'Southern Pride'. Booth may have been a southern sympathizer, but was born in Maryland to a prominent family and assassinated a man of humble beginnings. In contrast, Oswald was raised in near poverty and killed Kennedy - a man from an affluent background.
Booth ran from the Ford theater and fled to Virginia. Some say that Booth was apprehended in a warehouse which is taking a bit of creative license: Federal agents caught him 11 days later on a farm where he was hiding in a barn with his co-conspirator, David Herold. The barn was set ablaze and Booth was shot when he didn't come out.
It is true that Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater, where he was arrested. But police were after him for other charges since he was wanted for the murder of a police officer. They had no clue at the time about his connection to the Kennedy assassination.
Booth and Oswald were both assassinated before they could stand trial - killed by a single gunshot and neither of their autopsy photos have ever been released. A writer named George W. Bailey has studied the assassination of JFK and found some other similarities between the killers which he outlines on a site called Oswald's Mother.
Their Deaths
Lincoln was shot at the Ford Theater. The SS-100-X Presidential limousine which Kennedy was shot in was a Lincoln Continental made by the Ford Motor Company. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday - and both were shot in the head. Adding another twist (which may be a bit of a reach) a week before Lincoln was shot, he visited Monroe , Maryland. President Kennedy is known to have had an affair with Marilyn Monroe, which has been falsely stated as Kennedy visited her: this isn't true. Monroe died the year before.
Are there too many similarities between Lincoln and Kennedy to ignore?
Or is this conspiracy just wishful thinking? Comment Below.

The doctor is in. Long-running BBC sci-fi series "Doctor Who" has dropped its first look at Jodie Whittaker as the title character. A previous trailer showed Whittaker in clothing that was not part of her official Doctor Who outfit.
Whittaker is the 13th Doctor Who in the show's history, and the first female Doctor Who ever. The actress is taking the reins after Peter Capaldi wrapped Season 10 in July.
The "Doctor Who" Twitter account posted a photo of Whittaker with the tag line, "New series. New Doctor. New look!" In the photo, Whittaker wears teal culottes with suspenders underneath a beige trench coat. She stands in front of the iconic TARDIS (a time machine called Time And Relative Dimension In Space) from the show.
In Season 11, Whittaker will be joined by cast mates Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill.
"Doctor Who" first made its debut on British television in 1963.
Whittaker's casting has stirred some controversy. She told the Radio Times in July that she hopes the show's longtime fans won't be "scared by my gender."
"Because this is a really exciting time, and Doctor Who represents everything that's exciting about change. The fans have lived through so many changes, and this is only a new, different one, not a fearful one," she said.
The casting caused a rift between two previous Doctor Whos.
Peter Davison, who played the role in the 1980s, told the Press Association, "If I feel any doubts, it's the loss of a role model for boys, who I think Doctor Who is vitally important for. So I feel a bit sad about that, but I understand the argument that you need to open it up ... As a viewer, I kind of like the idea of the Doctor as a boy but then maybe I'm an old fashioned dinosaur – who knows?"
But another Doctor Who, Colin Baker, hit back and said, "They've had 50 years of having a role model. So, sorry Peter, you're talking rubbish there – absolute rubbish. You don't have to be of a gender of someone to be a role model. Can't you be a role model as people?"
Other actors who played the role on TV were William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith.
The next season premieres in fall 2018.
