Q: Corner cases with GLR, precedence, and non-associativity: Intended Semantics? Yes, I'm one of those insane people who have a parser-generator project. Minimal-LR(1) with operator-precedence was fairly straightforward. GLR support is next, preferably without making a mess of the corner cases around precedence and associativity (P&A).
Suppose you have an R/R conflict between rules with different precedence levels. A deterministic parser can safely choose the (first) rule of highest precedence. A parser designed to handle local ambiguity might not be sure, especially if the involved rules reduce to different non-terminals.
Suppose you have a R/R conflict between rules with- and without- precedence characteristics. A deterministic parser can reasonably choose the former. If you ask for GLR, do you mean to entertain both, or should the former clearly dominate the latter? Or is this scenario sufficiently weird as to justify rejecting the grammar?
Suppose you have an S/R/R conflict where only some of the participating rules have precedence, and maybe the look-ahead token does or doesn't have precedence. If P&A is all about what to do in front of the lookahead, then a non-precedent token should perhaps mean all options stay viable. But is that really the intended semantic here?
Suppose you have a nonassoc declaration on a terminal, and an S/R/R conflict where only ONE of the participating production rules hits the same non-associative precedence level. Then the other rule is clearly still viable to reduce, but what of the shift? Should we take it? What if we're mid-rule in a manner that doesn't trigger the same non-associativity problem? What if the look-ahead token is higher precedence than the remaining reduce, or the remaining reduce doesn't have precedence? How can we avoid accidentally constructing an invalid parse this way? Is there some trick with the parse-items to construct a shift-state that can't go wrong, or is this kind of thing beyond the scope of GLR parsing?
Also, how should semantic predicates interact with such ugly corner cases?
The simplest-thing-that-might-work is to treat anything involving operator-precedence in the same manner as a deterministic table-generator. But is that the intended semantic? Or perhaps: what kinds of declarations might grammar authors want to exert control over these weird cases?

A: Traditional yacc-style precedence rules cannot be used to resolve reduce/reduce conflicts.
Yacc/bison "resolve" reduce/reduce conflicts by choosing the first production in the grammar file. This has nothing to do with precedence, and in the grammars where you would want to use a GLR parser, it is almost certainly not correct; you want the GLR parser to pursue all possible paths.
The bison GLR parser requires that ambiguity be resolved; that is, that the grammar be unambiguous. However, it has two "outs": first, it lets you use "dynamic precedence" declarations (which is a completely different concept, although it happens to use the same word); second, if that's not enough, it lets you provide your own resolution function.
Amongst other possibilities, a custom resolution function can accept both reductions, for example by inserting a branch in the AST. There are some theoretical issues with this approach for general parsing, but it works fine with real programming languages, which tend to not be ambiguous, or at least "not very ambiguous".
A typical case for dynamic precedence is implementing a (textual) rule like C++'s §9.8/1:

There is an ambiguity in the grammar involving expression-statements and declarations: An expression-statement with a function-style explicit type conversion (8.2.3) as its leftmost subexpression can be indistinguishable from a declaration where the first declarator starts with a (. In those cases the statement is a declaration.

This rule cannot be expressed by a context-free grammar -- or, at least not in a way which would be readable -- but it is trivially expressible as a dynamic precedence rule.
As its name implies, dynamic precedence is dynamic; it's a rule applied at parse time by the parser. Bison's GLR algorithm only applies these rules if forced to; the parser handles multiline possible reductions normally (by maintaining all of them as possibilities). It is forced to apply dynamic precedence only when both possible reductions in a reduce/reduce conflict reduce to the same non-terminal.
By contrast, the yacc precedence algorithm, which as I mentioned only resolves shift/reduce conflicts, is static: it is compiled at generation time into the parse automaton (in effect, by removing actions from the transition tables), so the parser no longer sees the conflict.
This algorithm has been (justifiably) criticised for a variety of reasons, one of which is the odd behaviour of non-associative declarations in corner cases. Also, precedence rules do not compose well; because they are not scoped, they might end up accidentally applying to productions for which they were not intended. Not infrequently, they facilitate grammar bugs by hiding a conflict which should have been resolved by the grammar writer.
Best practice, therefore, is to avoid corner cases :-) Static precedence should be restricted to its originally-intended use cases: simple operator precedence and, possibly, documenting the "shift preferred" heuristic which resolves dangling-else resolution and certain grouped operator parses (iirc, there's a good example of this in the dragon book).
If you implement dynamic precedence -- and, honestly, there are good reasons not to -- then it should be applied to simple easily expressed rules like the C++ rule cited above: "if it looks like a declaration, it's a declaration." Even better would be to avoid writing ambiguous grammars; that particular C++ feature leads to the infamous "most vexatious parse", which has probably at some point  bitten every one of us who have tried writing C++ programs.

Home Djibouti New submarine cable to link East African coastline
New submarine cable to link East African coastline
Cheaper internet is on its way after a 5,400 km cable system linking Djibouti, Mogadishu and Mombasa undersea cable was launched.
The Djibouti Africa Regional Express 1(DARE1) will in due course link major coastal towns in the region and will deliver a capacity of up to 30 terabits per second. TE SubCom will be the main supplier in undersea communications technology and marine services.
"It will provide an alternative high-capacity and low-latency route," the companies said in a joint statement.
The partnership is projected to improve on productivity and cost advantages of a short-haul cable route while still maintaining the capacity and reliability of a much larger long-haul system using SubCom's scalable system design.
The DARE1 consortium is composed of Djibouti Telecom and Somtel, and is configured as a three fiber pair trunk, with each fiber pair delivering a cross-sectional capacity of 150 channels at 100 Gbps. It will include diversified Points of Presence with options for future connectivity via SubCom's industry-leading optical reconfigurable add/drop multiplexing (ROADM) product line.
Abdirashid Duale, the CEO Dahabshiil Group said the submarine cable will offer affordable internet services and ease congestion across existing systems.
"DARE1 will be the first submarine cable to link Mogadishu to the global network."

Q: discord.js v13: how to make a role with the highest available position I want to do a mute command where the bot creates a role and puts it in the highest position it can.
Here's my code:
run: async (client, message, args) => {
    if (!message.guild.me.permissions.has("MANAGE_ROLES")) return message.channel.send("Eu não tenho perm: `MANAGE_ROLES`");

    let rolecreate = message.guild.roles.create({ name: "", permissions: [], reason: "" }).then((create) => message.member.roles.add(create));
};

A: You can create a role as high as the bot's highest role, because after the role is created, the bot's highest role shifts up, and you cannot create a role higher than your own highest role. You can set this with the position option:
let rolecreate = message.guild.roles.create({
  name: "",
  permissions: [],
  reason: "",
  position: msg.guild.me.roles.highest.position
})
.then(/*... */);

The Zimmerman Experiment
Honorary White Man George Zimmerman
Hitler conducted many experiments throughout his planned and permitted rise to power. The Khazars, once deemed subhuman, were given the highest level of success and integration before their extermination. They were made to feel as though they were fully accepted within the Aryan Race and intermarried freely. During the occupation, multiple experiments were carried out just to see the reaction of the masses.
Wearing the Jewish Star as an identifier:
And mandatory vaccines and blood/ DNA tests quickly come to mind. Studying Hitler and his "secret" ally, Prescott Bush, has given me a new understanding of Sun Tzu's The Art of War. History repeats itself over and over again because Hitler called it:
"Luckily for us, the masses do not think."
Social experiments have been played out via the Jewish media propaganda machine as a way to closely watch our responses, read our thoughts via blogs, tweets and text messages and to have a full understanding of exactly WHO their target audience really is. It is my innerstanding that black people, since the dawn of creation, have been at the forefront of white people's thoughts since the day they laid eyes on us.
Zimmerman, a Masonic Jew, conducted a social and esoteric experiment for the world to see. The one officer, from the very beginning, who claimed OUTRIGHT that he did not believe a word of Zimmerman's story, was quickly removed from the crime scene and, in the fashion of the occult, disappeared from the face of the Earth never to be heard from again. Jews, Charles Manson and Bernie Goetz:
Also conducted "experiments" which, for the most part, failed to bring desired results. Last night, whilst relaxing with a cup of tea, The Creator, in Her/ His Imminent Glory, gave me a "flash" of reality. I saw an image of Zimmerman grinning with his father. When his father looked up, his eyes "changed". The media would like us to riot, burn down and essentially rip each other in half. They would like us to venture into new "riot territory" and bring our 500-year-worth anguish into WHITE suburbia. They want us to stew in the same rage as the King and Till murder. They want our melanin power to become so potent with cortisol-induced anger, that we'll take it to the streets and unleash ourselves. Then…without warning, they'll have no choice but to bring another experiment, The Boston Bombing aka Martial Law, into full effect.
Zimmerman's planned murder of a young melanin-rich boy and staged acquittal is leading us into another Black Holocaust. Now that his PERMITTED freedom has been viewed all over the globe, yes…people from other countries do watch AmeriKlan tel-lie-vision, what simple message does that send to ANYONE of ANY race regarding black life?
That black life is worthless. That black people are worthless. That you can shoot ANY black person for any reason, for any offense, real or imagined, and GET AWAY WITH IT.
What message does that send to us?
That anyone, anywhere can now claim "self-defense", and kill our mothers, our grandmas, our 2 year old nephews or us in the name of "protecting white life." This experiment, which was televised and blown up on purpose, was not done for naught. It was done as yet another way to push forth a White Supremacist Agenda. What is the name of that agenda?
Eugenics.

The Final Two Stages of Black Self-Destruction
Nambla
Every black scholar I've been fortunate enough to speak with has told me the exact same thing word for word.
"Whites want to turn us into them."
When Neely Fuller first told me that, I nodded slowly over the phone and vowed to pay closer attention to tel-lie-vision and film. When Dr. Bey and Professor Griff repeated it, I knew that they are no coincidences in this world. My journey into awakening has been a slow and tortuous one. There were moments of horrifying clarity and moments where I slipped into confusion. Trying to overstand the "hows" and "whys" is not an easy process. Roughly about 1 month ago, one of my blogger buddies called me to chat. As she told me of her ideas on our future, I quickly scanned the TV channel. I came across the popular tween/ young adult movie Twilight and a light bulb went off in my head. I told her what I thought and she giggled at me:
"Truth, you never heard of Romulus and Remus?"
"No. Who are they?"
"Oh boy……!" was her only response.
The final two stages in black genocide will be the acceptance of pedophilia and this:
Did I just see your jaw drop?
Well, mine did too. In fact, I never even thought of that route.
From the beginning of time, the European has told us through his pic-o-grams, paintings and folklore what he was all about:
Zeus and his boy lover Ganymede
{thank you Kemetia for the innerstanding of Romulus and Remus}
The slow but public introduction of black homosexuality, black males wearing dresses and carrying "manbags" has been a carefully devised plot in the form of "self-eugenics." The Interracial Agenda being pushed by various stars, athletes and musicians is nothing but a form of self-eugenics. And finally, the rise of black pedophilia and black beastiality will be our final descent into total self-destruction. The system has been rigged from day one to make money off of us and to help us commit suicide. How do we commit suicide, you ask?
By smoking
By drinking
By whoring
By sleeping with whites
By taking drugs (that the CIA plants in your neighbourhood)
By black-on-black crime
By hating and competing with other blacks
By chemically processing our hair
By eating fast foods on a consistent basis
By using their toothpaste
By not growing our own food (if you have the space and means)
By not supporting other blacks
By allowing the school system to "raise" and "discipline" your children
By not loving black females/males
By not assisting your black older relatives
By allowing whites to give your children Ritalin
And finally, by not having a better understanding of your black self
Nothing I have listed here is new. In fact, I feel like a broken record. But I digress.
I've always wondered why whites would travel the world looking for a black baby to adopt.

Why The Black Female is Our Last Hope For Black Liberation
"We need black women to take the lead…" —– Jabari
I had a Spiritual awakening (yes, another one) last week. I saw our young black sisters wearing pants down to their waists, mimicking their boyfriends, and frankly, I became disgusted. I saw our sisters in Asian shops spending hundreds of dollars of rent money and food money for synthetic hair weaves and plastering ammonia and aluminum on their scalps to have the "nice hair" that will make their oppressors more comfortable. I saw our sisters in beauty shops allowing Korean women to pluck their eyebrows and attach fake, acrylic fingernails made with trace amounts of rat poison and manganese so they can have "pretty hands" because they are not happy with the hands that God gave them.
As I wandered around, I became more and more aware that the entire world is waiting for the true revolutionaries to step up to the plate and lead our revolution to freedom. The world is waiting for the one person whose strength and power is limitless. Whose love is so fierce that she will fight to the death for her family's survival. The world is waiting for the Black Woman to realize her role in this Universe as the Earth Mother, the Creator of life and the knower and seer of all things. The Black Woman is the one who shall lead the masses.
And that's why she is currently being destroyed.
I've advised you to study and understand European His-Story which is built ENTIRELY on the male principle of Yurugu. Inhale their military tactics. Study their xenophobia…even within their own clan. Understand why they are xenophobic. Study their ways of thinking and how they rise to power. Hitler made this excellent and truthful statement to one of his advisers:
"First You Get the Women, Then You've Got the Children, So Follow the
What is taking place in our black homes, black schools and black communities is just a facsimile of the past. Whites never change. Accept that as a fact. Stop making excuses for it. Stop looking for a "good white person" because they do not exist. All whites under their system of white supremacy have one interest only: Their own survival. Once you overstand that, then you will see that the black female is our last hope for survival.
Africans are the only true huemans on this planet. What does that mean? Simply, we have both the male and female principle that lives in all of us. That is why we can be harsh yet loving. Tough yet understanding. Swift yet forgiving. Aggressive and merciless yet soft and yielding. We are nature and soil and air and all other elements that make this planet alive. But…only the female can give life. That makes her and her alone the dominant principle. Evil knows that once the black female has been lead astray from her black man and her black family, all hopes of redemption and survival is lost. That is why she is currently being pushed through the media to date, fornicate and marry out of her race. That is why her natural looks, hair, lips, body type and colouring are under relentless attack. That is why she is being encouraged to abort her baby. Have you ever wondered why when a white woman is pregnant, not only is her pregnancy celebrated but she is revered to the highest degree of womanhood?
The black female is demoralized into being a subhuman, sexualized figure. Hitting her is encouraged. Masculinizing her is pushed through "black feminism", which is rooted is Jewry. That is why she is being given employment opportunities and educational opportunities that were once designed for men. That is why she is being brainwashed to hate her man, her family and herself. And that is why she now sees the white man as her "intellectual partner and saviour."
Once she has given up and begins to see the black man as her enemy, the black race will be exterminated. This is, of course, all apart of The Plan. What plan is that?

What's That in the Sky?
What are Chemtrails?
Chemtrails are the chemical aerosol streaks deposited in the air by the spray system of a plane. Chemicals that are sprayed by airplanes have many purposes like mosquito control and crop dusting. They also serve the purpose of population control and weather manipulation. When I was on assignment in Wisconsin, I drove into Chicago to see the new blues talent at Buddy Guy's Club. Walking down Wabash Avenue, I was aware of the streaks in the sky but had no idea what they were. It wasn't until I became "conscious" that I realized I was slowly being poisoned. After inhaling the "dust", my mouth and face felt…funny. Chemtrails are everywhere and there is no escaping breathing in some of the main components in their "streaks" :
1. Sulfur
2. Chemical Manganese/ Lead/ Alloy
3. Arsenic (poison)
What does this do to your health?
– Neurological effects and behavioral changes, like aggression
– Disturbance of blood circulation
– Heart damage
– Effects on eyes and eyesight
– Reproductive failure
– Damage to immune systems
– Stomach and gastrointestinal disorder
– Damage to liver and kidney functions
– Hearing defects
– Disturbance of the hormonal metabolism
– Suffocation and lung embolism
What does this aerosol do to the weather?
The DOE website states that, "The current focus of the program is aerosol radiative forcing of climate: aerosol formation and evolution and aerosol properties that affect direct and indirect influences on climate and climate change."
At an international symposium held in Ghent, Belgium May 28-30, 2010, scientists asserted that "manipulation of climate through modification of Cirrus clouds is neither a hoax nor a conspiracy theory." It is "fully operational" with a solid sixty-year history. Though "hostile" environmental modification was banned by UN Convention in 1978, its "friendly" use today is being hailed as the new savior to climate change and to water and food shortages. The military-industrial complex stands poised to capitalize on controlling the world's weather.
"In recent years there has been a decline in the support for weather modification research, and a tendency to move directly into operational projects." ~World Meteorological Organization, 2007

The black population has been the main target of Chemtrails by putting alloy (chemical manganese) in popular malt liquor beverages, like Colt 45, which was only sold in poor black neighbourhoods roughly 45 years ago. Today the popular drink, owned by Pabst Inc, boasts Pabst Blue Ribbon, a popular drink in the white community. In 2005, a hurricane tore apart a popular musical and black ancestral community leaving thousands of my relatives dead, dying and homeless. Read these statements:
'It's as if the entire Gulf Coast were obliterated by the worst kind of weapon you can imagine.'
– President G.W. Bush as he toured Alabama and Mississippi.
'Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of Electro-Magnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It's real.
– Secretary of Defense William Cohen 1997 on Counter-terrorism

The Plot of Black Male Homosexuality
{Disclaimer: I am not homophobic. I'm making an observation.}
Look at these black men:
And perhaps the most famous, in which he played 6-7 different characters:
That is none other than Will Smith in Six Degrees of Separation. His first "big" movie where he played a homosexual.
Please watch this clip:
I must admit, I LOVED this show…in the beginning.
But then as I got older, I realized that something involving our men was amiss.
The plot to destroy the black man did not begin here:
If you understand white supremacy, then you'll know why I say this. The supremacist never just plans anything on a whim. He planned it for decades. Then he planned a back-up plan. And if the backup plan fails, he has a plan for that! So please understand when I say that on the slave ships, the plot to destroy the black man wasn't invented…it was invented here:
And was made into propaganda with this:
Using the most powerful tool ever invented. This:
Now that we see my trail of destruction. Let's examine this plot.
The black man, the pinnacle of manliness, strength and athleticism, is made to look more like a woman to emasculate him, rendering him useless and "soft." Soft = controllable. Controllable = Non threatening.
Of course, the ultimate fear of whiteness is blackness. Did you know on slave ships, the white master would dress up little black boys and grown men in jewelry, dresses and what was considered "make-up" to prepare them for rape? Could the plot of black male homosexuality be a rape fetish fantasy come to life?
Listen to this clip provided by Mickey and Brothawolf:
Hmmmm….makes you think, no?
Of course there are a lot of black men in Hollywood who don't put on the obligatory woman's dress and lipstick, but they are few and far between.
In my desire to end white supremacy, I've read countless books, watched documentaries and listened to various lectures on the "whys" and "hows" of our slow demise. Since black men have the highest concentration of melanin, the need to homo-sexualize him will ultimately fulfill the plot of eugenics, which is simply the destruction or manipulation of a race of peoples. This highly controversial "science" was used in Nazi Germany to rid the world of an "inferior" race of people. Then it follows; if the black man is groomed and educated to become homosexual, the black woman cannot reproduce, thus diminishing our race over a short period of time. Combine this theory with the birth control many single and married black women take, which I may add causes increasing difficult impregnation, along with the cancer causing solution that infiltrates the black woman's womb during abortion, and we have a serious problem on our hands!
Today, I believe that eugenics is the culprit of our men being trained and groomed to desire other men.
Any thoughts? Do you disagree / agree?

Is Fasting The Key to Healthy Organs?
There's been a lot of buzz on this fasting idea. Like all things that show up and become popular for a time (and there have been so many!), there's lots of contradicting information out there. In doing some research on it I came across this great post over on the Dr Sircus website. Check it out!
Leaky Gut Cure Click Here!
Fasting is a process that facilitates the body's healing mechanisms. It is a gift to an overburdened body. It is extremely effective in creating an internal environment where the body can do what it does best—heal itself. After fasting, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces (colon cleanse is a vital part of any fasting detoxification program), allowing improved absorption of nutrients.
Fasting increases the process of elimination and the release of toxins from the colon, kidneys and bladder, lungs and sinuses, and skin. This process can generate discharge such as mucus from the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, sinuses, or in the urine.
All organs and glands get a much-needed and well-deserved rest, during which the tissues are purified and rejuvenated and the functions balanced and regulated. The entire alimentary canal (stomach, small intestines, and large intestine/colon) is swept clean, and what comes out the lower end should astonish and disgust the first-time colon cleanser/faster sufficiently to make fasting coupled with colon cleansing irrigations a lifelong habit. Perhaps the most important benefit of fasting is that it thoroughly cleans and purifies the bloodstream.
What do you think? Have you tried fasting? What benefits did you notice? Leave a comment!

Home News America's New Sex Religion Is Stealing From God – Frank Turek
America's New Sex Religion Is Stealing From God – Frank Turek
America's fall away from God has more to do with sex than unbelief in Christianity, according to Christian author and speaker Frank Turek.
If professed atheists are challenged with the question, "If Christianity were true would you become a Christian?" Turek believes that more often than not it would show that the real reason many atheists deny God is not so much because of a lack of evidence that God exists, but it would reveal a desire to pursue sexual freedom outside the confines of Christian morality.
Speaking at the Southern Evangelical Seminary's 23rd annual National Conference on Christian Apologetics at Calvary Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Friday, Turek explained how sex has been resurrected as a new religion in America and it is driving what he agrees is an "erotic revolt" against Christian values.
"It's an old religion resurrected — the new religion in America is the religion of sex," Turek said. "Do you know that every cultural issue we argue over has something to do with sex? Why is that? Huxley said it, it's our 'erotic revolt.' We want sexual freedom."
The Huxley Turek referenced is English writer and philosopher Aldous Huxley who explained in his book, Ends and Means, that he and most of his friends objected to the idea of morality because morality "interfered with our sexual freedom."
"I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; and consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption," Huxley wrote.
"The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics. He is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do. For myself, as no doubt for most of my friends, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom," Huxley argued.
"The supporters of this system claimed that it embodied the meaning — the Christian meaning, they insisted — of the world. There was one admirably simple method of confuting these people and justifying ourselves in our erotic revolt: we would deny that the world had any meaning whatever."
Turek highlighted how the new religion, centered on sex and grounded in rights, is being used to drive a godless agenda in society today.
"The new religion has a right to choose … it's the right to choose the death of a baby. I hate to go political here but I am. Get over it," he said before continuing.
"When we had 50 state laws against that [abortion] it was never a political issue. But now when the Supreme Court decides that it's gonna make law for the entire land, now it becomes a political issue. Marriage was never a political issue until the Supreme Court just decided it was gonna change everything. Who's making it a political issue? Not us," he said.
"President Obama is now trying to force nuns to pay for abortion, Hillary Clinton wants to do the same thing. In fact, Hillary Clinton said in a 2015 speech to a woman's summit that she wants to use the law and political will to change religious beliefs. If your beliefs are pro-life and they are based in religion — sorry, that needs to change, according to Hillary Clinton."
While noting that not everyone who isn't a Christian is of this mindset, Turek believes a significant portion of non-Christians subscribe to the religion of sex.
"Now I'm not saying everybody who is not a Christian thinks this way, but certainly a very big portion of them do. This is all about what they consider sexual freedom. The problem is, freedom isn't so free after a while. The culture wants you to think that sex is just about physics. It's just physical. Is that true? If that were true, why is it that it's far worse if somebody rapes you than if somebody just physically assaults you? Because sex is not just physical, it's spiritual, it's emotional, it's psychological. It's moral. There are so many different aspects to sex to say nothing of the fact that it's procreative," Turek said.
Turek, who further discussed how America's new religion of sex is stealing from God in his new book, Stealing From God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case, said if atheists argue that there is no God then there are really no rights and everything is really a matter of opinion — with no true moral compass.
"If there is no God there is no rights. Everything's a matter of opinion, it's just your opinion against somebody else's opinion. You have a compass that points to you, somebody else has a compass that points to them. There is no true compass, there's nothing right or wrong so there's no right to abortion, and there's no right to life either. There's no right to anything," he said.
Turek said this new religion is being advanced because Christians haven't been properly standing up to it in the culture.
"Morality, I think, is the easiest way to show God exists and that Christianity is the only solution to the problem. In fact, think about this: If you ask anybody, I don't care what their worldview is, if you ask anybody this question, 'What's wrong with the world?' Nobody is gonna say 'nothing,' right. Everybody is gonna realize we've got problems. Well, what's the ultimate solution? Not looking inside ourselves, the compass doesn't point to us, there is something outside of us. And that something is God's nature," he asserted.
"They're [atheists] talking about rights and talking about morality all the time but there are no rights and there is no morality unless God exists. So just call them on that, keep asking them the questions: What's your standard? Where does your standard comes from? Why do you think that's true? What evidence do you have for that?" he added.

4/9/21 Jay Schweikert: New Mexico Ends Qualified Immunity for All Public Officials
by Scott | Apr 9, 2021 | Interviews
Scott talks to Jay Schweikert about the promising developments in New Mexico, where a new state-wide law has been enacted that repeals qualified immunity as a legal defense for any public official. This is a similar move, says Schweikert, to legislation adopted recently in Colorado and New York City, but whereas in those places the new measures apply only to police officers, the New Mexico law covers all government employees. Scott and Schweikert consider this a great first step in eliminating the unjust privileges that protect public figures from being held accountable for their actions.

Magdalena Paolino, a biochemist from Uruguay and a scientist at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of Austria (IMBA), discovered a mechanism to stop metastasis tumor, based on immune system processes.
The research, developed over seven yEars at the IMBA, where Magdalena Paolino completed her PhD in Molecular Biology, began when the Uruguayan discovered that by taking a particular gene from mouses, they acquired the ability to reject various types of tumors.
"I discovered a new mechanism in immune cells, called Natural Killers or NK,which when blocked allows these cells too become aggressive and control the metastasis of tumors", said the specialist.
The results, published last February in prestigious international journals such as 'Nature', are statistically significant.
If the research continues and its human results can be replicated, it could work as an alternative to current treatments such as as radiotherapy, chemotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy.


Home-made green tea ice cream: this deliciously creamy classic only has six ingredients – with a drop of Hermesetas Liquid providing a hint of sweetness.What is matcha? Matcha is a green tea made from powdered tencha tea. The green tea powder is available from specialist tea shops, organic grocery shops, health food stores and online. However, due to its complicated production process, matcha does not come cheap. Matcha powder is used for more than just hot or cold tea beverages – it has also become a popular ingredient in classic recipes such as cake, ice cream, smoothies and salad dressings, taking all of them to the next level. The intense aroma of its tart, slightly grassy flavour is ideal for both sweet and savoury dishes. Matcha is a strong pick-me-up and contains more caffeine and theanine than other types of green tea. The greener its colour, the fresher the tea. Long storage times should be avoided.
Add the Hermesetas Liquid and water to a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for several minutes. Place the egg yolk into a bowl and beat until light and airy. Stirring all the time, add the sweetened water to the egg yolk and continue to stir until the mixture becomes airy and lighter in colour.
Add the milk, whipping cream, vanilla seeds and empty vanilla pod to a saucepan and heat to just below boiling point. Remove the vanilla pod, then slowly add the milk mixture to the egg mixture, stirring all the time. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat until the cream thickens. Add a teaspoon of matcha powder and taste the cream, adding more and stirring as needed.
Pour the ice cream into a bowl and cover with cling film. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until the cream is cold. Place the cream into an ice cream maker and process until the mixture has the consistency of soft ice cream. Then place it into a mould and freeze.


Mary Clark, poet and author, was born in New Jersey and has lived in Florida, New York, and Virginia. She worked at several community-based agencies, was active in civic organizations, and started a community newspaper, in Hell's Kitchen, New York City. Her books include a creative memoir, Tally: An Intuitive Life, a contemporary novel, Miami Morning, a novelette, Covenant, and an epic poem, Children of Light.
Leila Payson loves her job as a high school social studies teacher and adventures with her diverse friends. But when she discovers one of her students is going deaf, she embarks on a learning curve of her own. This reconnects her with an earlier time in her life when she spent a year teaching in South Africa and met an occupational therapist working with the disabled. She is faced not only with a potential change in direction in her professional life, but in her personal life as well, as a mysterious man with a book keeps appearing at her favorite places.
Coming to Greenwich Village, New York City at the age of 20, PJ took in the full flavor, substance and style of the Bohemian philosophy of life. But in mid-life he and his wife separated, and his work as a fine press printer and book designer came to an end. He needed to create a new identity, to find new reasons to live. This is his story, often in his own words, through his letters, other writings and taped interviews, and the author's diary, as he worked to live as a free and independent human being and thinker. It's an in-depth look into the psychology of near-death experiences, self-identification, autonomy, guilt and innocence, dependence and independence, aging, consciousness, and being aware of the intuitive thread that runs through our lives.
Over the years, through his heightened awareness, he created his own philosophy.
In this coming-of-age story set in 1950s and 60s Florida, mystery and romance combine to change the lives of three children: Orchie, Red and Bobby. Growing up in changing times, the Civil Rights movement, migrant workers' camps, and rock'n'roll impact their lives. Below the surface in their family lives as well, there are hidden connections, which lead to shocking revelations. This historical fiction "Boomer Lit" novelette peels back the layers of social change and personal growth.

Q: Ruby app no longer able to access remote Heroku Postgres - AFTER installing Postgres.app locally For months now, a ruby (sinatra) app "foo.rb" on my dev't Mac has been using a remote Heroku-hosted Postgres database.
The app does not use ANY local database, neither in development nor production.
For another project, I installed Postgress.app from Heroku, first removing a very OLD version as recommended, using brew remove postgresql
The next time I ran foo.rb, and tried at access the (remote) database with SomeModel.count, I get the error:
PG::ConnectionBad: FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host , user , database , SSL off
I'm confused why the error shows my devt machine address when the database connection config points to a remote postgres url, and why it says SSL off.
Any thoughts how to get rid of the error? Is there any way to see the PATH to the pg_hba.conf it is complaining about, so I can verify it contains the correct host entries?
(I wonder if the pg gem has its own copy squirreled away somewhere.)
The copies of pg_hba.conf that I can find (in /Library/Application Support/XXXX for both the old and new Postgress.app versions) have the correct (and unchanged) host entries.

A: It looks like your script is trying to connect somewhere that is not properly configured
Things to check in that case:

*

*your database.yml or connection string, DATABASE_URL matches your localhost from postgres.app

*is your postgres.app is running and have a db server running (check the elephant icon on the top bar of your osx)

*You installed and configured properly the postgres app you need to set the path, you can check by typing psql in a new terminal window, if it runs is ok to go.

Configure your $PATH to use the included command line tools (optional):

sudo mkdir -p /etc/paths.d &&
echo /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin | sudo tee /etc/paths.d/postgresapp

*post your file or part of it in the question, it helps a lot to debug :)

A: The answer turned out to be:

*

*comment out pg in Gemfile

*bundle install

*replace pg

*bundle install
I suspect when the gem pg is installed, it dynamically establishes some link to postgresql, so if you move postgresql (as I did when I installed Postgres.app) you need to remove the pg gem then re-add it.

Q: How can I create a function that creates a matrix using values from my dataset in R? I have a dataset containing 120 observations of 6 variables. Five variables are factors, 1 variable is my target variable.
I need to write a function that will creates a matrix (for each factor) which contains each level of the factor as columns, and the maximum value of the target variable as first row, and the minimum value of the target variable as the second row.
I know how to create a matrix, however I am lost when I need to make it through a function.
Is there someone who can help?
Here is a simple example of what I want to reach with a fictive easy dataset.
Example
As you can see, for each level of the factor (on the picture factor 1), I want to indicate the highest value of the target, and the lowest value of the target.
Here is a subset of my own data:
 > dput(data_plu[1:4, ])
    structure(list(NaNO3 = structure(c(2L, 8L, 8L, 3L), .Label = c("10",
    "14", "18", "2", "22", "26", "30", "6"), class = "factor"),
CaCl2 = structure(c(4L,
    8L, 8L, 8L), .Label = c("0.1", "0.28", "0.46", "0.64", "0.82",
    "1", "1.19", "1.37"), class = "factor"), PO4 = structure(c(1L,
    5L, 5L, 6L), .Label = c("0.1", "0.8", "1.5", "2.2", "2.9", "3.6",
    "4.3", "5"), class = "factor"), NH4Cl = structure(c(5L, 3L, 3L,
    6L), .Label = c("0.5", "10.86", "12.93", "15", "2.58", "4.65",
    "6.72", "8.79"), class = "factor"), MgSO4 = structure(c(4L, 7L,
    1L, 7L), .Label = c("0.21", "0.35", "0.5", "0.64", "0.79", "0.93",
    "1.08", "1.22"), class = "factor"), DC = c(15000L, 707500L, 720000L,
    872500L)), row.names = c(NA, 4L), class = "data.frame")

A: You may be able to modify this to meet your needs. I wrote a function to handle one factor and then use lapply to handle them all. I've called your sample data dta:
stats <- function(x, y) {
    minmax <- aggregate(y, list(x), range)
    cols <- minmax[, 1]
    result <- as.matrix(t(minmax[, -1]))
    dimnames(result) <- list(c("Min", "Max"), Levels=as.character(cols))
    return(result)
}
out <- lapply(dta[, -6], function(x) stats(x, dta$DC))
head(out, 1)
# $NaNO3
#      Levels
#          14     18      6
#   Min 15000 872500 707500
#   Max 15000 872500 720000

In Walking the Sea, Anton Ginzburg (* 1974 in St. Petersburg) charts a twenty-six-thousand-square-mile area between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan known as the Aral Sea, an environmental ruin of the Soviet era. Drawing on the tradition of American Land Art from the late sixties and early seventies, Ginzburg approaches the waterless sea as a ready-made earthwork in order to make visible a territory, history, and a potential imaginary space that remain largely inaccessible. The resulting film, photographs, and sculptures refer to regional histories and cultural myths, ranging from the figure of the plein-air painter as a traveling dervish to the idea of the landscape as shaped like an Aeolian harp, and the belief in a subterranean "inner sea" into which the Aral Sea has disappeared. The book pays homage to a rich history of artists who have approached the world from the perspective of a wanderer and who have mapped and reshaped both landscapes and urban environments through the act of walking.

Q: IOS playing short sound I'm trying to play a short alarm sound in my iphone application
i'm using this code i found but it won't play any sound.
NSString *toneFilename = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"alarm" ofType:@"wav"];
    NSURL *toneURLRef = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:toneFilename];
    SystemSoundID Sound;

    AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(
                                     (__bridge CFURLRef) toneURLRef,
                                     &camerSound
                                     );

    AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(Sound);

when i try to make vibration it works though :
AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);

Thx

A: Using AVFoundationFramework
Add the AVFoundation.framework to project.
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

NSString *toneFilename = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"alarm" ofType:@"wav"];
NSURL *toneURLRef = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:toneFilename];
AVAudioPlayer *player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: toneURLRef error: nil];
player.currentTime = 0;
player.volume = 1.0f;
[player play];

A: You are not addressing your Sound variable correctly when creating the sound. Instead you are using camerSound. Calling the AudioServicesPlayAlertSound with the correct parameter should work.

A: This works perfect for me.
Add AVFoundation and AudioToolBox frameworks into the project
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#import <AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h>

@interface TestViewController : UIViewController
{
    SystemSoundID SoundID;
}

@implementation TestViewController
-(void) viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSURL *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"test" withExtension:@"caf"];
    AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((__bridge CFURLRef)url, &SoundID);  //When using ARC, make sure to use __bridge
 }

-(void) playSound {
     AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(SoundID);
 }

These speakers were indeed rather poor. The driver units were (but not always) bog standard Goodmans commercial units with very basic 2 element crossovers. They gave a rather "one note" bass. Their rival company "Period High Fidelity" (also based in Maidenhead) used Peerless drive units and their speaker designs were far superior.
I nearly lost my job with Pye (who owned them) complaining about poor quality standards! Have many Members have noticed just how many Dynatron units suffer from frequent failure in one channel of their audio stages......?
Have you had these speakers long, do you know their history?
I wonder if they could have been poorly re-coned in the past.
Another thing to check is the inner suspension by the voice coil, has this come away from the speaker frame.
Does the speaker cone make a scratching noise when you push it with evenly spaced pressure.
I've had them for around a year and a half now, and I have no idea of their history, bought them just being told the basics and that the system (Player and speakers) is in working order.
I can apply test them now and i'll get back with the results.
Is it one or both speakers with the 'sparking' noise?
You say it / they make a noise when not playing music sometimes. Now you have the covers off can you watch the cones and see if they are moving in and out with nothing playing. Try different positions of the volume control too.
Do you have other speakers to try to make sure the amplifier or cables are not to blame?
I believe it's only both, but im not 100% too sure on this. I'll take the covers off again and put the volume up and watch, and I'll get back with the results from that too.
I don't have any other speakers, nor cable. Just the two that I bought originally.
I could also tell you that they don't seem to like a lot of Queen being played at a high volume either, which is unfortunate for them.
I would say that they sound quite decent, but I've never had another pair to compare them too.
Thank you all for your help, i'll get to testing now.
It turns out it is both speakers, but the left being much worse. The left pops and scratches, while the right just scratches with no music, and on full volume.
When I first turn the system on, it's the worst, lasting around 3 to 5 seconds, before dying down, just to do randomly do so with use, or just being powered on.
With the description of those noises are you sure it's the speakers and not two faulty amplifiers. With no drive, I.e, no music and full volume there should be virtually no signal being fed to the speakers to move the voice coils, perhaps just a small amount of noise (hiss).
Noisy volume controls could well produce those symptoms.
Now what happens if you swap the left and right speakers round?
Does the 'pops and scratches' sound move to the other speaker?
This will help identify if the problem is the speakers or an amplifier fault, poor switch contact or volume control etc..
PS, just re-reading your initial post about 2 different amplifiers. Can you do the same test again with the other amplifier too?
I think we need to establish if the cone is moving in and out freely with no rubbing and if the inner suspension is attached. The inner suspension cant really be checked without taking the speaker out of the cabinet and looking from the side of the speaker at the inner end of the diaphragm cone.
Move the diaphragm in and out to its full extension and see if the inner suspension comes away from the chassis.
At the same time listening for any scratching or rubbing noise.
I dont know the construction of these speaker drivers but I have seen a voice coil become loose on the coil former and slide on it, that would produce the type of noise you describe.
I am not too sure how you would test for that.
But if the speaker is OK then the problem is probably in the amplifier. Possible causes dirty/worn controls, dry joints, leaky/breaking down transistors or other components.

It's been a while since I made this thread, but I just stopped using the record player and speakers as I couldn't sort them out.
I made a discovery last night that it is the record player, and not the speakers, and only the left channel is affected by the noise. I plugged in my headphones, and got the sound from them too, which I then realised it wasn't the speakers.
Both right channels work fine, the left channels is what has the interference.
Does anyone know what this is? I assume it'll be something to do with the left amplifier?
It is often all too easy to assume that the problem in these cases will lay with the speakers, but experience shows this will rarely be the case.
Before we consider an amplification failure, are you completely sure that the lack of sound on the left hand channel occurs on BOTH Radio and Record reproduction?
I've just tried the record, radio and tape in put and all three have the noise on the left hand channel. Roght hand is fine, still on all three. Changing the speaker input from main to remote makes no difference either.
We are still not sure if you have swapped the speaker leads over or tested on a battery as previously advised. Did you try this? If both speakers do prove to be working, then this sounds like a fault in the amplifier channel whether it be the electronics or some form of switching oxidisation. Is this something you would be prepared to troubleshoot and try to fix for yourself?
Hi, yes sorry I should've said I did try with switching the cables round and the speakers are fine, both are working, and only omit the noise when plugged into the LH channel.
I'm more than happy to fix it, but im not too sure what i'd be looking for inside, I can take a photo of the electronics inside tomorrow if it will be of any help?
Edit: I have no way of testing it on battery. Mains interference did cross my mind, but it was working properly for sometime before.

I was using my record player today, (Using both RH channels) and I stopped using it for a second, and so just stopped the music, but didn't turn the player off with the intention of using it again. I completely forgot about it when I just hear a pop and crackle. I quickly turned it all off and unplugged it. I felt the TT was quite warm, which was odd.
I've now taken the bottom off to see if anything had literally popped, but I cannot see anything. However, there is a small resistor or diode which looks like it's melted onto other components (I apologise, I don't know the correct terms properly) there are also other components which look to have melted together. The other PCB wasn't anywhere as warm, nor does it have the melted look on the respective parts.
These are on a small circuit (one of a pair, which I assume make up part of the amplifier etc) This is very warm to the touch (the other part isn't) and is directly under the warm part of the TT.
I lifted the PCB out of it's holder and looked on the underside, all the soldering seems to have a brown substance.
Could it've been the resistor/diode has failed, and is heating up the rest of the components.
The brown around the solder joints on the underside is just Flux residue and the material between the components on the other side looks to be around a lot of them, perhaps it was put on to keep components together when the boards were machine soldered?
It looks like wax to me.
If it is still on there it has not been hot enough to worry about.
The click must have been thermostat noise from something external to the record player.
Thermostats do make clicks on audio equipment all the time.
I would guess that if you left it on and listened you would be able to find something close by such as a fridge that starts or stops when you hear the click.
You say using both RH channels but if you had one speaker plugged in to the main and the other in the remote speaker sockets they effectively would be in parallel on the one working channel and it may not have liked the reduced Impedance causing damage to it - I don't think it is anything you can see in the pictures though.
Up to you, but I think I would be inclined to quickly test it with one speaker on the previously working channel to see what you get.
As per the other replies I can't see anything obviously blown/melted, the components on that PCB wouldn't generally melt, rather char or blow apart & as the (presumed) wax appears not to have melted I wouldn't think those parts have been very hot.
I'd tend to suggest the heat has come from the output transistors (large T03 packages on the heatsink plate) having not enjoyed driving too little impedance as alluded to above.
At this stage I'd say do the same, see if it still works, since likely any damage would have been done. On the other hand, it'd be safer to do some diagnostics first in case one of the outputs has shorted. Firstly are all fuses intact? secondly, do any of the T03 transistors show as shorted? Possibly worth powering up with no speaker connected (provided it's OK on this amp to do so) and checking for any DC voltage on the output terminals.
What are the outputs on this? Number on the case beginning with AC? Just recently come across a germanium output that leaked & shorted as it warmed up so possible it temporarily shorted if it overheated?


Who's Running An Ad Blocker? Post Up Please.
Discussion in 'News & Announcements' started by Tony, Jul 22, 2018.
I just received an email from a new member signup that, in translation read "This forum is horrible, you can not navigate, without those warnings being annoying and forcing all the time!".
I almost never run my ad blocker on any site because I know why they have ads. They are to pay for the server and maybe a little extra to put some beans on a plate at night. But after I received this email, I enabled my ad blocker on my site, this site. It has been a year or so since I have seen what it is actually like and I figured I needed a refresher.
So I enabled my ad blocker and boom, I get that little pink box in the lower left. I scroll the page for 10 seconds and the full page blockadblock page comes up, I click on the link and keep testing. I get the top pink banners but I have yet to get the one that is most annoying to me, that one with the red header that darkens the screen.
Trust me everyone, I know ads are horrible. I hate looking at them but I know what they are for. The large Rc sites are just absolutely FILLED with ads from every company out there. Both sidebars are FULL of ads and for those sites, yup, ad blocker to the rescue! But our site has very few ads compared to those sites. I am running a new little deal from google where they can put ads in different places and I have yet to hear anything negative about this.
In most cases, you will see an ad above the forum but below the header, there is also an ad in the sidebar. The sidebar ad is the google ad, but I do have two other boxes there, one for gearbest and one for banggood. Those are there strictly because if you do click on that ad and head over there and purchase something, I get a very small little kickback that helps the site. In fact I just checked and default settings on the ad block, those two little banner blocks are still there.
If you run ad blocker, trust me, I get it. You guys are actually the ones that I want to hear from on this matter. I ask you guys to disable your ad blocker on this site and please tell me your experience. Are the ads too obtrusive? Where can we make changes to help keep you happy with seeing the ads and still be able to pay the bills around here every month? Please post up, I would really like to hear from you all on this matter.
Those animated ads that I see on some of the other sites, are the ones that I hate the most. They are distracting, annoying, and totally unnecessary in my opinion. RC-Help has fewer ads than most other sites, and that`s a good thing. I know what the ads are for, and I also get it. Which is why I don`t run my blocker in here. However, I never click on ads on ANY site, because of the risk of hidden malware, viruses, or other harmful things that could be in them.
Oh man, you just brought back some horrible memories. Back in 2013 I think it was, adsense didn't completely check all of the ads and man, you talk about a nightmare with redirects, malware and everything else. From then on I have been very selective on what ads I put on here. The slightly animated ads I cant' help, car companies are the worst, but they stop after a couple rounds.
The slightly animated ones, don`t bother me much. It`s the ones with the sparkly, flashy, almost neon effect that they have around them. Those are the ones that get the wrath of my blocker.
Right now I only see two, and they are in the sidebar. So it`s all good.
If that is the case, then you are running your ad blocker. There should be an ad at the top of the forum, one at the bottom of the forum and 3 in the sidebar of which only one is google. The other two are gearbest and banggood where I get a little kickback. But those two are unaffected by ad blockers unless you target them.
Nope, no ad blockers are on. I only have one, and it is definitely disabled.
Interesting. Well, if you are not seeing bright pink banners then nope, it's not on lol. And I do greatly appreciate that!
I have AdBlock Ultimate but it's disabled for this website. This site has very few ads compared to many I visit. The only warnings I've seen on the site are when my blocker is active and no other time.
What you posted the user saying how bad the number of ads are... actually makes me wonder if they're infected with malware ( adware or spyware ) that is the actual cause of what they are seeing. I'd recommend that they install and run Malwarebytes Antimalware to check for infections. If they mention they have something else already and are clean... insist that they try it anyway. Most of the other protection software I've seen on my clients computers don't catch adware or spyware effectively.
I have the site running in kind of reverse. If you block ads, then you will get pop up's. One that is linked to the nice pink banners that comes up, darkens the page and you can pretty much click anywhere to get rid of it. The other one is pretty new and it covers the entire page. You have to click on a link to get rid of that one. But if no blocker is being used, you will never see a popup.
but you are probably correct, they may have adware on their computer.
A couple times I clicked on a link to a forum and got and add in between pages.
next time you see it, take a screen shot and post it here.


Modern Shapes Gallery is pleased to present Harry Morgan at Collectible 2019.
Harry's work is known for its unusual marrying of materials and experimental approach to traditional process. Referencing ancient techniques and histories such as Venetian glassblowing and Brutalist architecture. He challenges the connotations behind the materials. Despite being composed of the same elements, glass and concrete appear as conflicting materials. Glass reflects ambiguity and intangibility. In sharp contrast, concrete is brutally physical.
Visit us on booth Nr 3.1 on the third level.
Collectible is a pioneering fair exclusively dedicated to contemporary collectible desig, gathering unique pieces and limited editions of the 21st century.
The event, which seeks to break with the traditions of conventional fairs, where a certain uniformity is offered, will revive the design fair experience by offering visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in an atmosphere closer to that of an art exhibition, where everything is for sale. By bringing the fair to life in a new and different way, with an emphasis on creativity, Collectible will show that 21st century collectible design is for all art lovers. The presence of cultural institutions, as well as the particular care given to the pedagogical aspects, contribute to its unique format.

Tag: James Cameron
On Friday, press and a few lucky fans and influencers crowded into the Regal Theater in Horton Plaza in San Diego and were treated to a special screening of the new trailer of Alita, Battle Angel. The film takes place in the ficitonal future of Iron City and is an adaptation of a Japanese manga (Gunnm in Japan) about a cyborg girl with amnesia who is given a new mech body that was intended for the deceased daughter of it's creator. In addition, attendees were also treated to 18 minutes of film footage from the movie's director and producer respectively, Robert Rodriguez and Jon Landau who were also on hand for the event. After the screening stars Rosa Salazar who plays Alita and Keean Johnson who plays her love interest Hugo, joined them on stage to talk about their experience on the film.
James Cameron, who served as executive director on the film and who actually originally bought the rights to Alita back in 1999 was not present at the event, but Landau and Rodriguez spoke about his involvement extensively. Explaining that Cameron actually was considering creating Alita before Avatar, (it's widely known that Cameron stated he was going to commence shooting the film as early as 2004) but decided against it because at the time, he felt that some of the tech invented to create Avatar could eventually be used to enhance the visuals of Battle Angel. Cameron's prediction was correct, because MASSIVE, a program created by Peter Jackson's company WETA, that was modified for Avatar, was used widely in this film.
More Battle Angel Alita
Here's how WETA brought Rosa Salazar's Alita to life in Alita: Battle Angel
Battle Angel Alita's long road to the big screen began with Japanese upheaval and cyberpunk
Attendees saw a demonstration of WETA in action during several mind blowing scenes that were shown. Including a pivotal scene in the movie where Alita's true powers and her knowledge of Panzer Kunst, a fictional fighting style long forgotten by humans in Iron City, is revealed in a fight. Although we were treated to several incredible fight scenes, what was most fascinating was how well WETA captured Salazar's minute facial expressions and eye motions and even tears. Rodriguez also shared that it was Cameron's idea to translate Alita's manga style features into a Hollywood film, (which is why only her face features enlarged eyes).
Although Alita and her cyborg body are a huge part of the story, so is her humanity and the relationships that she has. This was demonstrated in scenes where she has typical teenage disagreements with her adopted father Dr. Dyson Ido (played by Christoph Waltz), and her attraction to Hugo. Both Rodriguez and Landau credit Salazar as truly embodying the role of Alita despite all of the CGI. "Her audition tape made me cry. It made Jim cry. Rosa is really dedicated to the part."
Rodriguez is clearly a huge fan of Cameron's work and enjoyed his collaboration with him. He also pointed out that the Avatar director had envisioned most of the story before he took it on. "He showed me his artwork and his script, he was ready to go shoot this. He was really in love with this story. To take his script and hone it down, it was about 180 pages, and to make it manageable...I didn't know if I could. I stayed very true to what he had written because it was so clearly written by writer/director Jim Cameron. You don't rewrite Cameron you only edit him."
True Alita fans will be pleased to know that Landau made it very clear that they actually involved Alita's creator, magaka Yukito Kishiro from very early on. The creators took several trips to Japan to show Kishiro their progress and get his approval during the development process, and brought him to visit the set while they were shooting. The event also featured a subtitled video of Kishiro basically verifying this and giving his virtual blessing on the film adaptation. The creators also shared that the movie is going to be a combination of the manga and the OVA with elements of the "motorball" storyline.
The film also stars Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrien, Michelle Rodriguez, Jackie Earle Haley and Lana Condor.
Stay tuned, the Alita Battle Angel trailer drops Monday July 23 at 8AMPST/11amEST followed by a live chat with Robert Rodriguez, John Landau and Rosa Salazar.

In 2013 I was nominated for the Contemporary Talents Award 2012 of the François Schneider Foundation which is situated in Wattwiller, France. A competition which is all about the theme of water. Since water is essential to all life. I worked hard to finish my submission in time.
One of the requirements was to create some presentations in PDF-format. It was pretty time-consuming to create the pages in a way that would show my work at its best.
The deadline was 31-12-2012 so I was still working on this piece at New Years Eve. Actually I was kind of frustrated since all the festivities were starting and I was still struggling to get my submission ready in a way that I could be satisfied with it. I was about to give up but somehow I didn't and managed to get it done within the time frame.
After a few months I totally forgot about this submission until I got a phone call from this nice woman who worked at the François Schneider Foundation. She told me I was nominated for the award. I was thrilled because it felt like a big recognition for my work which I could really use at the time.
I decided to go to the awards ceremony in Wattwiller located in the french region Alsace. It was even a short trip down memory lane because I spend some family vacations in the area when I was a kid.
I was really surprised to find such a great art centre in such a small village and very impressed by the art which was shown here.
The centre is dedicated to the theme of water which also constitutes with the village of Wattwiller (the village of water). A theme that fits me and my work, because I'm always looking for water and waterfronts to take pictures of.
The finalists were chosen by four committees of experts for photography, drawing/painting, video and sculpture/installation. The experts for the photography committee were François Hébel, then director of Recontres d'Arles and Agnès Sire, director of the Henri Cartier Bresson Foundation.
Unfortunately I didn't win but I met some nice people at the ceremony and had a really special time that day.

After successfully passing your driving test you will then continue to develop your skills as a driver. It is estimated that most people do not achieve full planning and observational skills for about two years after passing the driving test. Remember this is the most dangerous period and as a newly qualified driver you are far more likely to be involved in an accident than an experienced driver. This is especially true for young drivers between the ages of 17-21 years old, who are six times more at risk of a fatal accident than other groups in the population.
Always remember "Safe driving for life"
There are several ways to improve your driving skills. The most obvious is to always drive within your own capabilities and not to be pushed by other people into exceeding your own skills. Should you wish to take further training to improve your skills there are a couple of methods I can recommend.
1. Take a Pass Plus course, (available to drivers within a year from passing their test).
2. Take a look at the Qualified Driver page and consider taking further training for example, motorway training or busy town trafic training.

Wealthy Stockholm suburb hit with surprise tax increase

Danderyd, a wealthy suburb just north of Stockholm, has been called the best place to live in Sweden and home to the country's best schools. For years, its residents have also enjoyed one of the nation's lowest tax rates.
While the other two designations may still hold today (as does its designation of being home to a higher concentration of Brits than anywhere else in Sweden), the latter is no more.
Taxpayers in Danderyd have been hit with a new income tax increase that will see them paying an extra 1.4 kronor in taxes for every 100 kronor they earn beginning next year. The average annual income in the municipality was 517,800 kronor in 2017.
With the tax hike, Danderyd will lose its status as one of Sweden's five least-taxed municipalities. The tax rate in the ritzy suburb will climb to 31.03 percent in 2020, a significant jump from its current 29.63 rate and much closer to the national average of 32.19 percent.
In Sweden, local tax rates consist of two parts: taxes paid the municipality (kommun) in which one lives and taxes paid to the region (landsting).

While the tax increase will kick Danderyd off the list of the municipalities with the lowest tax rates, it still has quite a way to go before approaching Sweden's highest municipal tax rate. That honour goes to Dorotea Municipality in Lapland, where residents have a 35.15 rate.
The Danderyd tax hike is a result of the Moderate-led municipality board's policies, which according to broadcaster SVT would result in a 220 million kronor deficit by the end of this year if nothing is done.
Danderyd mayor Hanna Bocander warned earlier this year that because the suburb was in "a serious economic situation", residents there "must prepare themselves for the consequences".
In a further effort to fill the budget hole, local officials are also hoping to bring in an additional 60 million kronor through cost-cutting and efficiency improvements.
