##[section]Finishing: Build an image

The weird part is this line:
Sending build context to Docker daemon  3.072kB

The docker build command only sent 3.072kB to the Docker daemon. It's impossible. The project size after MSBuild should at least 52MB. Due to the build agent said it just sent 3.072kB into Docker daemon, so that I couldn't COPY any files into image.
I try to use the exact same command in my Windows 10 (1809) local machine. There is no problem at all. The problem only exists on Azure Pipelines. I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help?

A: When creating an ASP.NET MVC (.NET Framework) project with Docker support in Visual Studio 2019, the project will add a default .dockerignore file with the following content:
*
!obj\Docker\publish\*
!obj\Docker\empty\

After a few hours of fighting, I finally SEE the first line in this file. IT IS A STAR IN .dockerignore FILE. It just ignored everything when doing a docker build. I didn't expect that at the beginning.


JUNE 2019 DATES STILL AVAILABLE!
If you are interested in a facility rental, please complete this inquiry form. Contact Roberta, our Rentals Coordinator, at rentals@earthdance.net with any specific questions or to schedule a site tour.
Home to 125 acres of pristine New England landscape, Earthdance provides a rustic retreat and supportive setting to bring your dance & theater artists and companies, yoga retreats, meditation groups, somatic trainings, community gatherings and more! Group retreats can last anywhere from one day to one month, or can occur at multiple times throughout the course of the year.
Below is a detailed summary of what we offer for group rentals.
Earthdance Farmhouse: Two beautiful sunny dance studios, dining hall and kitchen, living room, sun porch, showers, library, public computer and printer space, and laundry, as well as additional smaller rooms that function as great break-out spaces for focus groups! The two main studios are 25' x 44' (rectangular barn) and 44' in diameter (umbrella barn).
Gratitude Lodge: Three stories of guest housing, which accommodates up to 60 guests year-round in both dormitory-style rooms and private rooms. All bathrooms are shared. This facility includes one warm blanket per bed, and does not include linens or towels.
Nine Mountain: This beautiful facility is located next door to Earthdance and provides year-round overflow accommodations for an additional 25 guests. Similar to the Gratitude Lodge, Nine Mountain offers both dormitory and private rooms, and all bathrooms are shared. This facility includes linens, blankets and towels.
Tent Cabins: Three tent cabins allow for guests to sleep in a rustic environment in the woods. Each space can accommodate single or double occupancy. Bathrooms are located in the Farmhouse, and guests who choose these accommodations get the full rustic living experience. Tent cabins are available May-September. The cabins include one warm blanket per bed, and do not include linens or towels.
Personal Camping: Numerous camping spaces provide low-cost, rustic living for individuals from April until October.
Wooded trails: With an extensive trail system throughout our property. Your retreat group can come and relax in the woods, enjoying the wonderful sights, sounds and smells of the Massachusetts Berkshires.
Campfire circles: We have multiple campfire circles. Please ask and our staff will be happy to arrange a fire for your group.
Wood-fired sauna: Enjoy a relaxing evening in the wood-fired sauna, then a refreshing dip in the quarry!
Our Chef and Kitchen Staff provide an assortment of vegetarian, multi-cultural cuisines. We choose from local and organic sources whenever possible, and provide a wide breadth of menu options. We also have a large garden from which much of our produce comes, and therefore meals are always in season! Food allergies and specialty diets can always be accommodated, including vegan, gluten-free, meat and other preferences. Meat and specialty foods are subject to pricing and availability.
Shared Service: This option allows groups to integrate more into the Earthdance family by sharing meal clean-ups. Our Earthdance staff will cook our usual gourmet vegetarian cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and both staff and guests will clean-up collectively after each meal.
Simple Service: This option allows groups to cook and clean for themselves, without the hassle of shopping. Our Earthdance staff will coordinate the menu and ordering for you, and your cooks can handle the cooking and cleaning while your group is on-site.
Self Service: This option allows groups that have exclusive use of Earthdance to bring their own food and do all the cooking and cleaning. You may use our kitchen facilities as you choose, which include a fully-stocked kitchen (including kitchenware, spices and oils), as well as our guest fridge and pantry for storing your items.
Website: Groups may choose to be listed on our online calendar with a short description and link to their personal registration page. We provide a welcome page for participants giving detailed travel and packing information.
Registration: Retreat organizers are responsible for their registration and accommodation planning.
LODGING, FACILITY AND GROUNDS: Pricing is determined based your group size, length of stay, and time of year for your booking. For the length of their stay, groups will have exclusive rights to a single studio space. Groups larger than 50 participants are given exclusive use of both studios. All exclusive use privileges are to be shared with on-site staff and residents.
Base Pricing: Includes guest lodging, one studio use, dining hall, sauna, trails, and all public spaces. Base pricing for large groups (determined by the time of year) automatically includes exclusive access to the facilities and both studios. Earthdance pricing is based on communal living practices; group participants are asked to contribute to kitchen clean and small chores as part of a final house clean. You may opt for special service and pay for this house clean instead.
Additional Facility and Studio Pricing: Pricing for small groups is dependent on minimum guest numbers and studio usage.
MEALS: Pricing for meals is dependent upon the chosen meal options listed above.
OPTIONAL SERVICES: Additional services, such as laundry, bedrolls (sheets and towels), transportation, additional food, and other guest services may be requested during the contract phase or added during your retreat. Specialty set-up or other specialty services are not included in the base pricing.

Shiny plastic purses are less expensive than leather ones, but the downside is that it's easy to scuff these plastic accessories by bumping into a rough surface. With a few cleaning supplies and office items you may already have, you can maintain the handbag's shine and beauty. When you are not using your purse, store it safely in a dust cover, a shoebox or on a shelf to protect it. Clean and inspect your plastic handbag regularly to prevent cracking and residue build up.
Cut a foam eraser bar into four pieces. By using smaller foam pieces rather than one large bar, you rub scuff marks away easier. Dampen the foam and rub the scuff mark away.
Dab a cotton ball with nail polish remover. Rub the cotton ball over the scuff mark to remove it. Wipe the spot immediately with a damp cloth. Touch up the plastic with a dab of petroleum jelly. Rub the jelly into the purse before wiping with a paper towel.
Touch a dab of toothpaste on a clean, damp cloth. Rub away the scuff mark with the cloth. Wipe away the toothpaste and pat it dry with a towel. Restore the shine by squirting a touch of furniture polish on the purse. Buff the purse for a high shine.
Some shoe stores sell plastic repair and polish kits.

Functional integration is the study of how brain regions work together to process information and effect responses. Though functional integration frequently relies on anatomic knowledge of the connections between brain areas, the emphasis is on how large clusters of neurons – numbering in the thousands or millions – fire together under various stimuli. The large datasets required for such a whole-scale picture of brain function have motivated the development of several novel and general methods for the statistical analysis of interdependence, such as dynamic causal modelling and statistical linear parametric mapping. These datasets are typically gathered in human subjects by non-invasive methods such as EEG/MEG, fMRI, or PET. The results can be of clinical value by helping to identify the regions responsible for psychiatric disorders, as well as to assess how different activities or lifestyles affect the functioning of the brain.

Imaging techniques

A study's choice of imaging modality depends on the desired spatial and temporal resolution. fMRI and PET offer relatively high spatial resolution, with voxel dimensions on the order of a few millimeters, but their relatively low sampling rate hinders the observation of rapid and transient interactions between distant regions of the brain. These temporal limitations are overcome by MEG, but at the cost of only detecting signals from much larger clusters of neurons.

fMRI

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a form of MRI that is most frequently used to take advantage of a difference in magnetism between oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin to assess blood flow to different parts of the brain. Typical sampling rates for fMRI images are in the tenths of seconds.

MEG

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is an imaging modality that uses very sensitive magnetometers to measure the magnetic fields resulting from ionic currents flowing through neurons in the brain. High-quality MEG machines allow for sub-millisecond sampling rates.

PET

PET works by introducing a radiolabeled biologically active molecule. The choice of molecule dictates what is visualized: by using a radiolabeled analog of glucose, for example, one can obtain an image whose intensity distribution indicates metabolic activity. PET scanners offer sampling rates in the tenths of seconds.

Multimodal imaging

Multimodal imaging frequently consists of the coupling of an electrophysiologic measurement technique, such as EEG or MEG, with a hemodynamic one such as fMRI or PET. While the intention is to use the strengths and limitations of each to complement the other, current approaches suffer from experimental limitations. Some previous work has focused on attempting to use the high spatial resolution of fMRI to determine the (spatial) origin of EEG/MEG signals, so that in future work this spatial information could be extracted from a unimodal EEG/MEG signal. While some studies have seen success in correlating signal origins between modalities to within a few millimeters, the results have not been uniformly positive. Another current limitation is the actual experimental setup: taking measurements using both modalities at once yields inferior signals, but the alternative of measuring each modality separately is confounded by trial-to-trial variability.

Modes of analysis
In functional integration, there is a distinction drawn between functional connectivity, and effective connectivity. Two brain regions are said to be functionally connected if there is a high correlation between the times that the two are firing, though this does not imply causality. Effective connectivity, on the other hand, is a description of the causal relationship between various brain regions.

While statistical assessment of the functional connectivity of multiple brain regions is non-trivial, determining the causality of which brain regions influence which to fire is much thornier, and requires solutions to ill-posed optimization problems.

Dynamic causal modelling

Dynamic causal modeling (DCM) is a Bayesian method for deducing the structure of a neural system based on the observed hemodynamic (fMRI) or electrophysiologic (EEG/MEG) signal. The first step is to make a prediction as to the relationships between the brain regions of interest, and formulate a system of ordinary differential equations describing the causal relationship between them, although many parameters (and relationships) will be initially unknown. Using previous results on how neural activity is known to translate into fMRI or EEG signals, one can take the measured signal and determine the likelihood that model parameters have particular values. The elucidated model can then be used to predict relationships between the considered brain regions under different conditions. A key factor to consider during the design of neuroimaging experiments involving DCM is the relationship between the timing of tasks or stimuli presented to the subject and the ability of DCM to determine the underlying relationships between brain regions, which is partially determined by the temporal resolution of the imaging modality in use.

Statistical parametric mapping

Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) is a method for determining whether the activation of a particular brain region changes between experimental conditions, stimuli, or over time. The essential idea is simple, and consists of two major steps: first, one performs a univariate statistical test on each individual voxel between each experimental condition. Second, one analyzes the clustering of the voxels that show statistically significant differences, and determines which brain regions exhibit different levels of activation under different experimental conditions.

There is great flexibility in the choice of statistical test (and thus the questions that an experiment can be designed to answer), and common choices include the Student's t test or linear regression. An important consideration with SPM, however, is that the large number of comparisons requires one to control the false positive rate with a more stringent significance threshold. This can be done either by modifying the initial statistical test to decrease the α value so as to make it harder for a particular voxel to exhibit a significant difference (e.g., Bonferroni correction), or by modifying the clustering analysis in the second step by only considering a brain region's activation to be significant if it contains a certain number of voxels that exhibit a statistical difference (see random field theory).

Voxel-based morphometry

Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is a method that allows one to measure brain tissue composition differences between subjects. To do so, one must first register all images to a standard coordinate system, by mapping them to a reference image. This is done by use of an affine transformation that minimizes the sum-of-squares intensity difference between the experimental image and the reference. Once this is done, the proportion of grey or white matter in a voxel can be determined by intensity. This allows one to compare the tissue composition of corresponding brain regions between different subjects.

Applications
The ability to visualize whole-brain activity is frequently used in comparing brain function during various sorts of tasks or tests of skill, as well as in comparing brain structure and function between different groups of people.

Changes in resting-state brain activation
Many previous fMRI studies have seen that spontaneous activation of functionally connected brain regions occurs during the resting state, even in the absence of any sort of stimulation or activity. Human subjects presented with a visual learning task exhibit changes in functional connectivity in the resting state for up to 24 hours and dynamic functional connectivity studies have even shown changes in functional connectivity during a single scan. By taking fMRI scans of subjects before and after the learning task, as well as on the following day, it was shown that the activity had caused a resting-state change in hippocampal activity.  Dynamic causal modeling revealed that the hippocampus also exhibited a new level of effective connectivity with the striatum, though there was no learning-related change in any visual area. Combining fMRI with DCM on subjects performing a learning task allows one to delineate which brain systems are involved in various sorts of learning, whether implicit or explicit, and document for long these tasks lead to changes in resting-state brain activation.

IQ estimation
Voxel-based morphometric measurements of grey matter localization in the brain can be used to predict components of IQ. A set of 35 teenagers were tested for IQ and were fMRI scanned over the course of 3.5 years, and had their IQ predicted by the level of grey matter localization. This study was well-conducted, but studies of this sort frequently suffer from "double-dipping," where a single dataset is used both to identify the brain regions of interest and to develop a predictive model, which leads to overtraining of the model and an absence of real predictive power.

The study authors avoided double-dipping by using a "leave-one-out" methodology, that involves building a predictive model for each of the n members of a sample based on data from the other n-1 members. This ensures that the model is independent of the subject whose IQ is being predicted, and resulted in a model capable of explaining 53% of the change in verbal IQ as a function of grey matter density in the left motor cortex. The study also observed the previously reported phenomenon that a ranking of young subjects by IQ does not stay constant as the subjects age, which confounds any measurement of the efficacy of educational programs.

These studies can be cross-validated by attempting to locate and assess patients with lesions or other damage in the identified brain region, and examining whether they exhibit functional deficits relative to the population. This methodology would be hindered by the lack of a "before" baseline measurement, however.

Phonological loop
The phonological loop is a component of working memory that stores a small set of words that can be maintained indefinitely if not distracted. The concept was proposed by the psychologists Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch to explain how phrases or sentences can be internalized and used to direct action.
By using statistical parametric mapping to assess differences in cerebral blood flow between participants performing two different tasks, Paulescu et al. were able to identify the storage of the phonological loop as in the supramarginal gyrii. Human subjects were first split into a control and experimental group. The control group was presented with letters in a language they did not understand, and non-linguistic visual diagrams. The experimental group was tasked with two activities: the first activity was to remember a string of letters, and was intended activate all elements of the phonological loop. The second activity asked participants to assess whether given phrases rhymed, and was intended to only activate certain sub-systems involved in vocalization, but specifically not the phonological storage.

By comparing the first experimental task to the second, as well as to the control group, the study authors observed that the brain region most significantly activated by the task requiring phonological storage was the supramarginal gyrii. This result was backed up by previous literature observations of functional deficits in patients with damage in this area.

Though this study was able to precisely localize a specific function anatomically and the methods of functional integration and imaging are of great value in determining the brain regions involved in certain information processing tasks,  the low-level neural circuitry that gives rise to these phenomena remains mysterious.

Psychiatric disorders
Although fMRI studies of people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have yielded some insight into the changes in effective connectivity caused by these diseases, a comprehensive understanding of the functional remodelling that occurs has not yet been achieved.

Montague et al. note that the almost "unreasonable effectiveness of psychotropic medication" has somewhat stymied progress in this field, and advocate for a large-scale "computational phenotyping" of psychiatric patients. Neuroimaging studies of large numbers of these patients could yield brain activation markers for specific psychiatric illnesses, and also aid in the development of therapeutics and animal models. While a true baseline of brain function in psychiatric patients is near-impossible to obtain, reference values can still be measured by comparing images gathered from patients before and after treatment.

Korean Zombie Series "All of Us are Dead" Drops This January 28
Posted on January 6, 2022 by Aiya Rodjel
(Source: Netflix.com)
Cementing its position as an expert in dystopian television series, Netflix is once again releasing another Korean drama called "All of Us Are Dead." This zombie apocalypse-themed project is set to drop worldwide on January 28 exclusively on Netflix.
So what can you expect from the upcoming series? According to Netflix's website, the story follows students who get trapped in their high school after the campus becomes ground zero for a zombie virus outbreak. The survivors must fight their way out, or else, they will turn into one of the rabid infected.
The show is written by Chun Sung-il and based on the webtoon Now at Our School by Joo Dong-geun. The series will be directed by Lee Jae Gyoo who is known for his work on "Trap", "King2Hearts", and "Intimate Strangers". Netflix first announced the show in April 2020.
"All of Us Are Dead" is expected to have eight episodes, with about 42 minutes per episode. This means that you binge-watch the show for an entire day with no sweat. It remains unclear if the show is a limited series or a bigger project, like "Squid Game," that exploded around the world. Given how K-dramas are extremely popular around the world, and how zombie movies and shows remain timeless, you shouldn't count the show out.
"All of Us Are Dead" stars Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun, Lomon, Yoo In-soo, Lee You-Mi, and Lim Jae-hyeok. If you're a huge fan of Korean shows and movies, you might be familiar with a few faces. However, the show might be their ticket to global superstardom.
The zombie genre has proven to be a total moneymaker for the content streaming giant. It isn't even the first Korean zombie project it has taken on. The series "Kingdom" has been so successful that Netflix is expanding the story even further with new seasons and a movie. The upcoming series marks the ninth original title under its portfolio.
Will "All of Us Are Dead" continue Netflix's momentum of record-breaking Korean hits? We'll have to wait and see until the show drops in late January. However, based on the trailer alone, it looks like the South Koreans really know what they're doing when it comes to grim and scary projects. Given everything happening in the world, getting lost in a fictional zombie apocalypse might just be what we all need.

Social Conditions in Belfast
Although life in rural Ireland was extremely harsh at the time (an 1835 survey of rural Ireland showed half of all families living in single-roomed, windowless cabins), life in a growing industrial town was even tougher. As in all early 19th century cities, conditions in Belfast in the years 1800-1850 were absolutely appalling. In 1800, the population was around 20,000. By 1861 it was 120,777 – all of whom squeezed into 18,375 houses. There were 230,000 people in Belfast in 1880 and by the time Thomas died in 1900, Belfast's population was in excess of 340,000. Although Belfast got gas light back in 1823 – and what a marvel that would have been – in the small shacks of the poor it remained dark and cold for many decades to come.
The streets were dirty, the small houses seriously overcrowded, and the Lagan was used a sewer. It was only in the late 1880s and early 1890s that Belfast Council built a network of sewers – what they did before that can only be guessed at! Not surprisingly, disease was rampant: in 1847 there was an outbreak of typhus (a disease spread by lice), while cholera struck Belfast in 1848. Between the 1860s – 1880s Belfast had the highest rate TB in the whole of Ireland. There was, as in most industrial towns of the time, very high infant mortality rate – the average age in Belfast at the time was 9 years!
In the later part of the 19th century conditions gradually improved as new by-laws meant all new houses were much better built. Unfortunately, the old ones still remained and these housed the poorest of the poor. In the existing Belfast Street Directories, you can find entries like: "Galway Street - 20 small houses". These would have been inhabited by those who were unemployed, had very low rent rates, or the elderly without income.
The Glenravel Local History (Belfast Timeline) Project (http://www.glenravel.com/belfast-timeline.html) has a lot of local information taken from newspapers and court chronicles of the time from the 1830s to the 1920s. I read through the 1880s timeline and found a lot of information that contextualizes everyday life for Thomas and his family. In 1882, the sectarian riots appear to have been centered around Pound Street, Galway Street, and Durham Street. Thomas was living in Pound Street at the time. And in November 1886 – the riots started in July and finally petered out only in December – his next door neighbour Thomas Connolly (of 72 Pound Street) was shot dead by police during a riot in the area.
The cops appear to have been rather heavy-handed and brutal, arresting people for the smallest of things – whistling at a boat, for example! But then the people were also rather badly behaved. There was a notorious blind man called James Towman who was frequently arrested for quoting the bible when intoxicated, and another well-known character called Bella Bogan who had more than 100 convictions for being drunk and disorderly. She was jailed frequently but simply went on another bender when released. Interestingly, there were more drunk and disorderly arrests of women than men – I suppose that is why gin was called "mothers' ruin"! Reports of newborn babies thrown away were many and guns appear to have been plentiful. The suicide rate was seriously high in the 1880s – the preferred methods being razor blades, hanging, and laudanum. And many people drowned at the Quays or threw themselves into the Lagan. Given the number of alcohol-related deaths, it is perhaps fitting that most inquests took place in pubs!
Stabbings were regular and you could expect to be fined 20 shillings for doing so; the same fine would apply for stealing a pigeon, two geraniums from the Ormeau Park, or a plum from the market. However, if you were to throw stones at Lord Churchill's carriage, you would pay a fine of 40 shillings – the same fine levied for soliciting! But if someone stole a shawl and pair of boots from " a respectable lady", the sentence was five years penal servitude! Interestingly, cruelty to animals was taken very seriously and was punished heavily, while stabbing your wife meant case dismissed! So you could beat your wife but not your horse!
Belfast appears to have been rather flammable in the 1880s and a fire broke out somewhere in the city almost every day. There was a fire brigade then but they generally responded to business and industrial fires, not domestic fires. And driving seems to have been a problem: the number of injuries and deaths by horse and cart were many.

The New Political Economy of Land Reform In South Africa, By Adeoye O. Akinola
Despite the popular optimism that EWC is the necessary instrument to fast-track land reform, it may not be the magic wand capable of effectively redistributing land to the majority and redressing historical injustices. Policy implementation has been a major challenge in South Africa. EWC may later trap land in the hands of the government and a few elites…
A lively discussion took place recently on The New Political Economy of Land Reform in South Africa, which I edited, along with Irrshad Kaseeram and Nokukhanya Jili. The meeting was chaired by Ruth Hall, a leading land expert at the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), University of the Western Cape (UWC). Professor Tumo Charles Maloka, of the School of Law at the University of Limpopo, and I were the main speakers.
The 14-chapter book, by both established and emerging scholars from six South African universities, relies on qualitative and quantitative research to locate the unresolved land question in scholarship, for the benefit of researchers, policymakers, land practitioners and others interested in land issues, and focuses particularly on the prospects, feasibility and reality of the proposed expropriation without compensation (EWC) pushed especially by Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
The book used different case studies, such as the Khomani San, to buttress the contradictions of the reform scheme. Some of the land allocated to this group was sandy and non-arable, without effective government support for small-scale farming and land productivity. South Africa relies too heavily on commercial agriculture, neglecting the important role of small-to middle-scale farming. The existing reform scheme has thus created two distinctive realities: "farms without farmers", and "farmers without farms".
The discussion at the recent book launch also zeroed in on key questions around EWC, land reform and struggles drawn from specific case studies, including underrepresented issues such as urban land reform and climate change. The meeting offered an intellectual contribution to the vexed issue of land and presented a much-coveted opportunity to reconceptualise land, land-hunger, and land policy in contemporary South Africa.

Despite the disagreements over the most desirable land policy shift, the fact remains that the existing reform agenda has failed to achieve the aims and targets of government. Consecutive African National Congress (ANC) governments have displayed a lacklustre attitude towards market-driven land reform and seem incapable of redressing historical land dispossession…
While the importance of land has diminished somewhat in post-apartheid South Africa, land continues to be a key capital and social property, which should not be subjected to the "invisible hands of the market". The meeting interrogated the adoption of a political economy approach by unravelling the power relations between the owners of land and the landless majority. A political economy approach engaged the place of class in the development of a capitalist mode of production and relations in the land sector, which is evidenced by the racialisation of land conflict between the white minority and the black majority.
How has land reform impacted on the state, the economy, and society? Without doubt, the unresolved land question has put pressure on the state to develop a populist and radical approach to land reform as a matter of urgency, while the uncertainty around EWC has stunted investment and growth of the land and agricultural sectors. Furthermore, South African society remains sharply divided between the minority – the owners of capital such as land – and the black majority, who constitute the landless and historically dispossessed, thereby reinforcing farm conflicts and murders along racial lines. Land disputes resulted from the Natives Land Act of 1913, which dispossessed Africans of 93 per cent of their land, and EWC has come to the fore due to the failure of the government's transformation agenda since 1994.

Despite the disagreements over the most desirable land policy shift, the fact remains that the existing reform agenda has failed to achieve the aims and targets of government. Consecutive African National Congress (ANC) governments have displayed a lacklustre attitude towards market-driven land reform and seem incapable of redressing historical land dispossession and the attendant structural violence that has characterised both apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa. One of the key challenges hinges on administrative incapacity and poor financing, which has characterised the "willing seller, willing buyer" model.
Land reform has a political context. Indeed, at the dawn of majority rule, many were optimistic that the liberation struggles would lead to the nationalisation of land, but any radical intent was quelled with the adoption of a liberal Constitution in 1996, which entrenched property rights. The failure of existing land policies and land struggles are clearly illustrated by illegal land occupations, rising evictions, murders and violence on farms, and failed farm projects. Currently, the common form of land acquisition for the black majority is through land or space occupancy. From the rainforests of KwaZulu-Natal to the far northern reaches of the Cape, there is compelling evidence of reform failures.
Debates around policy shift have revolved around two sharp divides: the minority who desire a reform agenda that preserves the status quo and protects property rights, without any significant disruption to agricultural production and food security; against the majority, who favour a transformation agenda and the EWC option…
Building on the 1997 White Paper on Land Reform, in 2014 the government created the current land policy, which is built on four pillars: restitution of land rights; redistribution of land; land tenure reform; and development of land. None of these has achieved optimum performance, so rethinking the existing land policy has become a matter of necessity and not of choice.
READ ALSO: Jackie B, Michael Settle Disagreement
Debates around policy shift have revolved around two sharp divides: the minority who desire a reform agenda that preserves the status quo and protects property rights, without any significant disruption to agricultural production and food security; against the majority, who favour a transformation agenda and the EWC option, believing that they have "paid through the blood of their ancestors and grandparents".
Despite the popular optimism that EWC is the necessary instrument to fast-track land reform, it may not be the magic wand capable of effectively redistributing land to the majority and redressing historical injustices. Policy implementation has been a major challenge in South Africa. EWC may later trap land in the hands of the government and a few elites or make the proposed Land Court more powerful than anticipated. Thus, it seems that South Africans will have cause to continue the debate around land in the foreseeable future due to the complex nature of land relations. What was reinforced during the book launch is that land is tantamount to life and strategically located at the centre of human and social security, as such the quest for land access in South Africa is a quest for survival, inclusive democracy, and effective governance.

Christmas Story in Luke: 5 Words You're Probably Missing
Mark Ward7 min read1 month ago
FacebookTwitterRedditPinterestEmailLinkedIn
Every Christmas Eve growing up, my father read the Christmas story from Luke 2 in the King James Version.
And every Christmas Eve, I thought I understood it. I largely did. But I now see little things I was missing—through no fault of my own, nor of the KJV translators, but simply because of the inevitable process of language change. The KJV is 400 years old, after all. I now see these little things because I focused hard on them while writing my book, Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible.
Here are five things you might not have noticed you were missing in the Christmas story in Luke 2 in the King James Version.
1. 'That all the world should be taxed'
The very first sentence of the Christmas story in Luke 2 contains a fairly good example of a word that no longer means what it used to mean: "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed."
It's a tiny bit unclear what the KJV translators were doing with this word "taxed." They were excessively smart men, and they had to know that the Greek word they were translating here (ἀπογράφω, apographo) referred to census registration and not to the levying of taxes.
By choosing the word "taxed" they were following Tyndale (1526) and the Bishop's Bible (1568) before them—the KJV is a revision of the latter. And I don't think any of them made a mistake. It's possible they chose what we now call a "functional translation": they thought the point of the census was for taxes, so they translated according. It's also possible they were using a sense of the word that is no longer available to us. The authoritative and exhaustive Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the only dictionary that traces the full history of English rather than merely describing its current state, gives weight to that second possibility. Look at sense 8 for the verb "tax":
Joseph and Mary did not go to Bethlehem to pay taxes but instead to register for a census—in part, yes, for tax purposes (the Common English Bible of 2011 renders this word "enrolled in the tax lists"). But modern readers misunderstand "taxed" because we don't (and can't) use the word that way. This sense isn't in our English like it was in theirs.
Many people know Luke 2:1 refers to a census or registration because it has been explained to them in sermons or books. But what they don't realize is that the KJV translators (at least according to the smart folks at the OED) did not make a mistake; they used a different sense of the word.
2. 'There were in the same country shepherds'
This is a minor distinction, but when Luke says,: "There were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field" (2:8), the "country" he was referring to wasn't "Israel." Instead, he was talking about the "region" around Bethlehem.
We still say things like, "We drove through some beautiful Ohio farm country." But none of the major modern English translations opt for "country" in Luke 2:8. The closest they come is "countryside" (New Jerusalem Bible). The most common choice is "region."
But if you look up "country" in the OED, you'll see a very interesting sense that is no longer available to English speakers—and yet may be what the KJV translators meant:
Could the KJV translators have used a sense of country that referred to the fields just outside Bethlehem? It fits. Where else were the shepherds likely to be but just outside the confines of the city? And it makes sense that we no longer have this sense, because we don't need it: cities haven't been walled for a long, long time.
3. 'A multitude of the heavenly host'
The shepherds in the environs of Bethlehem saw "a multitude of the heavenly host praising God" (2:13).
I talked about this word for a good little while in Authorized. A host is an "army." That's what host meant in 1611 when the KJV was first published. That's what the Greek word here (στρατία, stratia) means. But we no longer use host to mean "army." We use it mean someone who entertains guests ("she was the host of an elegant dinner party") or—and this is what most people probably hear in Luke 2:13—"a whole lot of" something. But "multitude" already told us that. The KJV translators weren't trying to communicate, "a multitude of a heavenly whole lot of something."
I don't blame the KJV translators. What they did was perfectly fine in 1611. And I don't blame people today. In fact, several modern translations stick with host. It's not a huge deal. But Tyndale himself went with sowdiers (soldiers), as did the Geneva Bible (1599) with its souldiers. God the father didn't just send "a whole lot" of angels. He sent an army of angels in militant array to make this special, joyous announcement.
4. 'All they that heard it wondered'
The shepherds, having seen the baby Jesus, were eager to tell others about their experience. And "all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds" (2:18).
The KJV translators did not mean that they were merely curious; that's the way "wondered" is most commonly used today. In 1611 the word meant "to be struck with surprise or astonishment, to marvel" (OED). The word can be used that way today, but my sense is that this is not common enough to be clear to many readers. Everyone who heard this news was "amazed"—that's what the contemporary English translations say.
5. 'Mary kept all these things'
One of the obsolete senses of the verb keep in the OED is "To take in with the eyes, ears, or mind; to take note of, mark, behold, observe." This may be what the KJV translators meant when they said "Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart." I'm not sure. Maybe they did just mean what we would mean with "kept": she "retained possession of" certain memories. But modern translations don't follow the KJV. Most go for, "Mary treasured all these things."
One of the difficulties of reading any literature from the Elizabethan era is that it's really challenging, even with the help of a dictionary like the OED, to put yourself in the shoes of the original readers. It's hard to forget what you "know" a word means and read like they would.
Over time, languages change on multiple levels. Some words have dropped out of English, words we know we don't know. We don't say besom, we say "broom." We've traded emerod for "tumor." And chambering is now called "immorality." If you read the KJV, you'll notice those dead words. And it's nobody's fault we don't know them! How could the KJV translators have known what words would fall out of use?
But sometimes, changes in English lead to actual misinterpretation—and that's what we must guard against. There are words we don't know we don't know, because we still use them—but those words mean different things today. But often that modern sense seems to make sense in context and we don't notice our misunderstanding! These I call "false friends." And they're nobody's fault. Language just does this. You shouldn't feel dumb, anymore than you should feel dumb for not knowing Sanskrit.

FC Cincinnati 2 – 3 New York Red Bulls: Dream Cup Run Falls Just Short of Final
FC Cincinnati's shot at a trip to the US Open Cup final fell short in extra time against the NY Red Bulls in front of a sold-out Nippert Stadium.

FC Cincinnati had the New York Red Bulls on the ropes in Tuesday's US Open Cup Semifinal. They led the heavily-favored MLS side by two goals with only 15 minutes remaining in the match, but couldn't deliver the knockout blow.
Corben Bone opened the scoring for the Orange and Blue in the 31st minute against the run of play. Andrew Wiedeman delivered a measured cross from the left into New York's box. The cross was chested into Bone's path by Danni König, and the midfielder's close-range first-time strike gave Red Bulls keeper Ryan Meara no chance to save. A sold out Nippert Stadium erupted after the opening goal.

FC Cincinnati doubled their lead after the break, despite continued attempts by the Red Bulls to equalize. Hometown hero Austin Berry powered home a towering header from a corner kick to give the Alan Koch's side a convincing 2-0 lead in the 62nd minute.
The Red Bulls stormed back into the match though with late goals by substitute Gonzalo Verón and Bradley Wright-Phillips. That pair of goals was separated by less than three minutes in the 75th and 78th minutes, and New York pressed for a winner at the end of regulation.
Extra time was required to break the 2-2 stalemate, and New York rode their late game momentum to victory. Bradley Wright-Phillips delivered a second inch-perfect headed goal to give New York the lead. FC Cincinnati nearly responded immediately. Marco Dominguez's close range shot at an empty New York goal was blocked off the line by the excellent Tyler Adams.
The Orange and Blue had given all they could and fatigue was a factor in extra time. Their valiant effort wasn't quite enough to reach the final, and their cup run ended with a 3-2 extra time defeat.
What a Cup Run It Was
Far and away the highlight of the 2017 season so far, the US Open Cup has produced unforgettable moments for this club and the city of Cincinnati. No team can ever be happy about losing a two goal lead so late in the match, but its hard to be too upset after the number of astonishing cup performances this team has assembled.
Alan Koch had the following to say about the team and the tournament.
"Anytime you're up 2-0 in a game and you don't win, you're going to be disappointed, but putting that aside, I have nothing but pride, in a group of players that put everything out there on the pitch tonight for our team, our club, and our city. (This cup run) has been truly magical."
Scintillating New York Comeback
FC Cincinnati's defense delivered another bend-but-don't-break performance for 70+ minutes of this match. That allowed the Orange and Blue to build a lead by capitalizing on counter-attacking opportunities. The following line from Joe Goldstein in our preview proved to be prophetic however.
"(New York Red Bulls') real strength is that they can recover from mistakes and not let teams that score first waltz away with the match. "
New York head coach Jesse Marsch made two effective substitutions in Gonzalo Verón and Derrick Etienne Jr. that combined for the first goal. Bradley-Wright Phillips then did the rest, highlighting his top-class finishing abilities. Marsch said the following in the post match press conference.
"We didn't underestimate them. We knew we were in for a tough match. We knew they were well coached and well organized. It was just about our ability to stay after the game and feel like we could overwhelm them over time. We took the hard route, that's for sure. But I think our team showed their character in a big way."
Focus Returns to the League
FC Cincinnati now must turn their attention and quickly refocus on the USL league campaign. The team's form in the league has been topsy-turvy, and with only nine matches remaining, they'll need to produce more consistent results to ensure a playoff spot and a decent seed.
They currently sit seventh in the Eastern Conference, with the top eight advancing to the post season. Alan Koch's side has two critical games in the next week against squads right behind them in the standings, New York Red Bulls II (the Baby Bulls) and Ottawa Fury.
Most of the remaining games are against teams below them in the standings, making for an easier strength of schedule. Success won't come without its challenges though. Six of those nine games are on the road, and many of those teams will be looking to make-up ground on FC Cincinnati, and stamp their own ticket to the USL playoffs.

Before closing the book on an exceptional 2017 US Open Cup campaign, I just wanted to highlight the sportsmanship from the players, fans, and coaching staff of the New York Red Bulls. Make no mistake, this was a hotly contested match on the field. But those heated moments made way for scenes of sportsmanship, with the Red Bulls making rounds to applaud the FC Cincinnati fans and the Bailey after the match.
After some ugly on-field sights, off-field drama, and refereeing controversies this season, it was fantastic to see this match and this tournament end with a touch of class.

Although I don't have a good citation for it, Carl Dreyer is supposed to have said that the primary role of a director it to engage the audience. What does it mean to engage the audience? It means to give them something that makes them want sit on the edge of their seat and keep watching. Over the next several posts, I'd like to explore some of the ways a storyteller can do this. Personally, I believe the most fundamental way to engage the audience is to create mystery. So I thought it'd be the best place to start.
First of all, mysteries are not secrets. If you have some sort of information about your world or characters, and you give your audience no hint of those secrets, then they might as well not exist. To steal a title of a great C.S. Lewis short story, mystery is The Form of Things Unknown. What does this mean? It means you know a little bit. You have a clue, but the details are unclear. There is a form and a shape, but it's hazy, dark and obscured by clouds. So to set up any mystery, you must show something. You must show enough to know that there's more there. What you choose to show must also be compelling. It can't make sense on its own, and it should challenge the audience and make them uncomfortable.
This creates two great responses. First, if you see part of an image that doesn't quite make sense, you want to see the rest. Second, mystery inspires fear. The hulking form in the dark corridor could be anything, and in your mind it becomes everything. It's transcendent, terrifying and sublime.
Every good story poses a question. The answer to that question is the mystery that will keep your audience engaged. The more compelling the question, the more they'll be glued to their seats. The Usual Suspects is a naked example of this. The whole movie is built upon the question: Who is Keyser Soze? But you don't have to pose such an enormous question - the question can be as simple as: Will Conan avenge his parents' death? Will Frodo reach Mount Doom? It's basically the question you pose in the inciting incident. The mystery can even be in the how, not necessarily in the end result. In the Godfather, it's pretty clear that Michael Corleone is going to end up changing from a nice-guy to a mob boss, but the compelling question posed is: How?
I touched on this briefly last week in my post about epic characters. Mystery is great way to make a character compelling. What you don't know about a character you fill in with infinite possibilities, or simply accept that it's beyond human comprehension. The G-man in the Half Life series is a great example of a character who is compelling because of the mystery that shrouds him. Again, what you do know about him makes the mystery interesting. He's a man in a suit, who wanders effortlessly through a maze of dangers that you've been fighting tooth-and-nail to survive.
Using mystery is great way to make a world seem far more vast than you've actually thought out. By making references to small details in far flung corners of your world, you create a framework that your audience will assume is filled in as richly as the world you present in detail before them.
Lastly, you don't have to give an answer to every mystery. One of the problems of creating a really compelling mystery, is that it's often hard to deliver an answer that's as powerful as the original mystery. J.J. Abrams is a master at using mystery to draw you in, but tends to get stuck trying to figure out where to go from there. Usual Suspects is one of the few stories that successfully figured out how to do this, but to make it work, Bryan Singer had to go BIG on the conclusion. As an alternative, Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock is built around a compelling mystery that is never answered. And the power of the movie is wholly dependent on maintaining that mystery. You can do this with characters, worlds and plot points. Just be careful. Mystery creates tension, and if you choose not to answer the mystery, you must find another way to release the dramatic tension or plan on having your audience carry that tension with them after the story ends (which is not necessarily a bad thing).
There's truth to old show biz adage: "Give 'em what they want." Just remember, once you give it away, there's not much left to stick around for. So, if you really want to hold on to your audience, give 'em mystery first, then give 'em what they want.

Q: Stop Background colour from filling DIV I have an PNG image with a transparent area. It is a bit like a torn of checkout receipt with a zig-zag edge. It will sit at the bottom of a div with a white background to simulate a till receipt. I have tried this as follows.
 background: #ffffff url("../images/zigzag.png") bottom right no-repeat;

But the background white fills right to the edge of the image

Aside from creating another div is there a way to stop the background colour going under the image?

A: make background-color transparent:
#foo {
  background: transparent url(yourzig-zagImage) no-repeat 0 0;
}

A: Adding another div is probably the cleanest solution.
However, if the height of your div is limited, you can instead make the background of the div transparent and extend the top of the "ragged-edge" image with white pixels until it's tall enough that it always provides a white background to the main part of the div.

Now consider the pentagon\/-\/wheel cocycle
$\boldsymbol{\gamma}_5 \in \ker \Id$,
see~\cite{JNMP17}.
By orienting both graphs in $\boldsymbol{\gamma}_5$ (i.e.\ by shifting the vertex labelling by $+1 = m-1$, adding two edges to the sinks $\mathsf{0}$,\ $\mathsf{1}$, and keeping only those oriented graphs out of $1024 = 2^{\text{\#edges}}$ which are built from $\xleftarrow{}{\bullet} \xrightarrow{}$) and skew\/-\/symmetrizing with respect to $\mathsf{0} \rightleftarrows \mathsf{1}$, we obtain $91$ parameters for
Kontsevich graphs on $2$ sinks, $6$ internal vertices, and $12$ ($=6$ pairs) of edges.
We take the sum $\mathcal{Q}$ of these $91$ bi-\/vector graphs (or skew differences of
Kontsevich graphs)
with their undetermined coefficients, and for the set of tri\/-\/vector graphs occurring in $\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{Q}}$, we generate all the possibly
needed tri\/-\/vector ``Leibniz'' graphs with $\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}}$ inside.\footnote{%
The algorithm from~\cite[\S1.2]{JPCS17} produces 41031
Leibniz graphs in $\nu=3$
iterations and 56509
at~$\nu\geqslant7$.}
This yields 41031
such Leibniz graphs,
which, with undetermined coefficients, provide the ansatz for the r.-h.s.\ of the factorization problem
\label{EqFactor}
$\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{P})} = \Diamond\bigl(\mathcal{P},\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}}\bigr)$.
This gives us an inhomogeneous system of 463,344
linear algebraic equations for both the coefficients in $\mathcal{Q}$ and~$\Diamond$.
In its l.-h.s., we fix the coefficient of one bi\/-\/vector graph\footnote{This is done because it is anticipated that, counting the number of ways to obtain a given bi\/-\/vector while orienting the nonzero cocycle~$\boldsymbol{\gamma}_5$, none of the coefficients in a solution~$\mathcal{Q}_5$ vanishes.}
by setting it to~${\mathbf{+2}}$.

\begin{claim}For~$\boldsymbol{\gamma}_5$,
the factorization problem $\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{P})} = \Diamond(\mathcal{P},\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}})$ has a solution $(\mathcal{Q}_5, \Diamond_5)$\textup{;} the sum $\mathcal{Q}_5$ of $167$ Kontsevich graphs \textup{(}on $m=2$ sinks $\mathsf{0},\mathsf{1}$ and $n=6$ internal vertices $\mathsf{2}$\textup{,} $\ldots$\textup{,} $\mathsf{7}$\textup{)} with integer coefficients is given in the table
below
\footnote{%
The analytic formula of degree\/-\/six nonlinear differential polynomial $\mathcal{Q}_5(\mathcal{P})$ is given in App.~\ref{AppFormula}.
The encoding of $
691$ Leibniz tri\/-\/vector graphs containing the Jacobiator $\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}}$ for the Poisson structure $\mathcal{P}$ that occur in the r.-h.s.\ $\Diamond(\mathcal{P}, \schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}})$ is available at \texttt{https://rburing.nl/Q5d5.txt}.
The machine format to encode such graphs (with one tri\/-\/valent vertex for the Jacobiator) is explained
in~\cite{JPCS17} (see also~\cite{f16,cpp}).}%

\begin{rem}
To establish
the
formula for
the morphism ${\rm O\mathaccent "017E\relax {r}}$ that
would be universal with respect to
all cocycles $\gamma \in \ker \Id$, we are accumulating a sufficient number of pairs ($\Id$-\/cocycle $\gamma$, $\partial_\mathcal{P}$-\/cocycle $\mathcal{Q}$), in which $\mathcal{Q}$ is built exactly
from graphs that one obtains from orienting the graphs in~$\gamma$.
Let us remember that not only nontrivial cocycles (e.g., $\boldsymbol{\gamma}_3$,\ $\boldsymbol{\gamma}_5$,\ or $\boldsymbol{\gamma}_7$ from~\cite{JNMP17}, cf.~\cite{DolgushevRogersWillwacher,WillwacherGRT})
but also $\Id$-\/trivial, like $\delta_6$ on p.~\pageref{ExDifferential}, or even the `zero' non\/-\/oriented graphs are
suited for this purpose:
e.g., a unique ${\rm O\mathaccent "017E\relax {r}}(w_4)(\mathcal{P})\equiv 0$ constrains~${\rm O\mathaccent "017E\relax {r}}$.
In every such case, the respective $\partial_\mathcal{P}$-\/cocycle is obtained\footnote
The actually found $\partial_\mathcal{P}$-\/cocycle $\mathcal{Q}$ might differ from the value ${\rm O\mathaccent "017E\relax {r}}(\gamma)$ by $\partial_\mathcal{P}$-\/trivial or improper terms,
i.e.\
$\mathcal{Q} = {\rm O\mathaccent "017E\relax {r}}(\gamma) + \partial_\mathcal{P}({\EuScript X}}    %{\mathcal{X}) + \nabla(\mathcal{P},\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}}) $
for some vector field ${\EuScript X}}    %{\mathcal{X}$ realized by Kontsevich graphs and for some ``Leibniz'' bi\/-\/vector graphs
$\nabla$
vanishing identically at every Poisson structure~$\mathcal{P}$.}
by
solving the factorization problem $\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{P})} \doteq 0$ via $\schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}} = 0$.
The formula
of the orientation morphism ${\rm O\mathaccent "017E\relax {r}}$ will be the object of another paper.

\footnote{As soon as the expression of $167$ Kontsevich
graph coefficients in $\mathcal{Q}_5$ via
the $91$
integer parameters was obtained,
the linear system
in factorization $\schouten{\mathcal{P}, \mathcal{Q}_5(\mathcal{P})} = \Diamond(\mathcal{P}, \schouten{\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}})$ for the

pentagon\/-\/wheel flow $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = \mathcal{Q}_5(\mathcal{P})$ was solved
independently by A.
Steel (Sydney) using the Markowitz pivoting run in \textsc{Magma}.
The flow components $\mathcal{Q}_5$ of all the known solutions $(\mathcal{Q}_5, \Diamond_5)$ match
identically.
(For the flow $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = \mathcal{Q}_5(\mathcal{P}) = {\rm O\mathaccent "017E\relax {r}}(\boldsymbol{\gamma}_5)(\mathcal{P})$, uniqueness is not claimed for the operator $\Diamond$ in the r.-h.s.\ of the factorization.)%
