Obama's Turkish dilemma
President Obama and Turkish President Abdullah Gul hold a joint news conference Monday.
F. Stephen Larrabee, RAND
President Obama's visit to Ankara this week highlights Turkey's growing strategic importance to the United States - and a high stakes dilemma for the President and for U.S. strategic interests.
Turkey today plays an increasingly important role in Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Middle East, and its cooperation is critical to achieving U.S. objectives in all three areas. Turkey also enjoys strong ties to Iran and Syria, which could be helpful as Washington seeks to establish a dialogue with both countries.
Turkish cooperation could be important in facilitating the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and promoting stability once they leave. Turkey is even emerging as an important transit route for the transport of Caspian oil and gas.
However, the administration's efforts to repair relations with Turkey could be derailed by a Congressional resolution introduced last month condemning Turkey for the mass deportation and death of hundreds of thousands of Armenians in 1915.
The fate of the Armenians killed in 1915 is a major tragedy and an important moral and political issue. However, the Armenian Genocide Resolution is not the way to address it. Passage of the resolution would precipitate a crisis in U.S.-Turkish relations, and damage broader U.S. interests in the region.
The genocide resolution is a highly emotional issue in Turkish domestic politics and has been a source of deep discord in U.S.-Turkish relations. In the fall of 2007, the Bush administration narrowly averted a serious crisis with Ankara only by a last minute all-out lobbying campaign that prevented the resolution (HR-106) from coming to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives.
But the genocide resolution is far from dead. The Armenian lobby was encouraged by its near success in 2007. And the proposal has strong support among Democrats, who traditionally are more concerned about human rights issues than are Republicans. The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, is from California, which has a large - and very vocal - Armenian community.
Senator Hillary Clinton and President Obama both supported the resolution during the presidential campaign. In office, they could change their minds, as a number of their predecessors have done. They might have trouble, however, persuading some of their colleagues.
If the resolution is passed, the Turkish government could come under strong domestic pressure to take retaliatory actions. Anti-American sentiment there is already high. US-Turkish relations seriously deteriorated during the Bush administration as a result of the US invasion of Iraq and the unwillingness of the Bush administration to assist Turkey in combating cross-border attacks by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a terrorist group located in the Kandil mountains in northern Iraq. Clearly President Obama is working to rebuild relations with his visit there.
If the genocide resolution is passed, however, Turkish leaders might be pressured to retaliate by, for example, denying the United States use of Incirlik air base in southern Turkey. Incirlik plays a critical role in the transport of people and materials to Iraq and Afghanistan. Moreover, with the recent loss of U.S. access to the base at Manas in Kyrgyzstan, Incirlik could become a crucial hub for U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. Loss of access to Incirlik could also complicate the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
The Armenian conflict remains sensitive because it was key to Turkey's emergence as a nation. Recalling the conflict conjures fears of separatist conflict, and fuels Turkish nationalism. However, Turkey has shown a greater willingness to address the issue more openly in recent years. At the end of 2008, more than 26,000 Turks signed a letter apologizing for the deaths of the Armenians who died at the hands of the Ottoman authorities in 1915.
Passage of the genocide resolution could seriously set back the process of Turkish-Armenian reconciliation currently underway between Ankara and Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. This process has gained important momentum since President Abdullah Gul's historic visit to Armenia - the first visit to Armenia ever by a Turkish president - in September 2008. Recent statements by Turkish and Armenian officials suggest that the two countries are close to normalizing relations.
A normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations would have important implications for stability in the Caucasus and enable Armenia to reduce its political and military dependence on Russia – an important U.S. policy objective. It would also remove a major obstacle to Armenia's ability to join regional energy schemes, from which Armenia has been so far excluded. This process risks being derailed, however, if the genocide resolution is passed.
The Obama administration thus needs to pursue a two track policy. First, it should seek to bolster strategic ties to Turkey and continue to actively support the Erdogan government's struggle to combat terrorist attacks by the Kurdistan Workers Party. This is regarded by Ankara as the litmus test of the U.S.-Turkish security relationship. Second, the administration needs to work with the Congressional leadership, especially Pelosi, to head off passage of the genocide resolution.
Instead of passing the Genocide resolution Congress should encourage the process of Turkish-Armenian reconciliation, particularly the opening of the Turkish-Armenian border (closed since 1993), which would have an important economic impact on Armenia and decrease Armenia's economic isolation.
In return for heading off the resolution, Turkey should pursue reconciliation with Yerevan and continue the effort to promote greater internal openness in addressing the Armenian issue that has been evident in recent years.
This would represent a win-win situation for all sides and avoid a crisis that could do untold damage to U.S.-Turkish relations and broader U.S. interests in the Middle East and Caucasus.

The Armenian diaspora needs to put its own hate-mongering aside and think of what is in the best interest of its brethren currently living in Armenia. Actual Armenians who still reside in the country want nothing more to end the isolation in which they live. They realize their country is tiny and landlocked and that they need to cooperate with neighboring countries around them. Why is it that there exists an Armenian community in Turkey who are happy to live there and who acknowledging that something horrible did take place in 1915 are wise enough not to blame it on the government of Turkey but the Ottomans? The diaspora in this country should take a good look in the mirror and realize its tactics of spewing hatred for all Turks living in the States and abroad (and acts of violence that often go hand in hand with this) are hurting, not helping, their cause.
John mama
The two-face Obama..........
With a big dissapointment as no American citizen i see the new president not support his promises.The Armenian's Genocide by Turkey is one of the crucialiest thing in the recent year but Obama is with Turkey(TWO FACE!). The next thing is the turkish invasion in Cyprus in 1974 and the occupation of the island since. They killed many innocent as olguts commitees but obama stills visits Turkey without saying anything.
No Obama, we don't want you here, you are just a liar......
Italy,Greece,Armenia,France,Malta,Cyprus,Bulgaria,Albania and many countries don't want turkey to E.U. so you can't begging anymore.
Hasan tezbasan
Armenians are treated equally during 800 years of Ottaman history, and I am proud of it. We can infer this from; unlike minorities of any other place of the world, Armenians brought up to most important positions in the society and goverment. They pretty much happily lived for 780 years and suddebnly what changed the course suddenly? any smarty can think of this situation? It is so unfair to admit that Ottamans did a systematic hatred and killings suddenly in the last few decades of the Empire.
I will tell you what happened. When Ottomans were fighting Russian in WW1, Armenian Army stabbed from behind. The Armenian soldiers dropped their ottoman souls suddenly and merged to russians army aiming to beat the sick horse to death.
Also, While all Ottoman Men were fighting for their country, Armenian insurgents grouped and killing and massacring thousands of their neighboor, friend Turk villages. Are these all lie? of course not, but history is not written by only Armenian Story-tellers; please go to Russian archives, Ottoman Archives, Armenian Archives and do yoru research for god's sake. Don't be fooled by manipulaters.

Have you ever thought that why this massacre claims come up every year in congress?
Do you know, Turks and Armenians existed many centuries together without any problem in this region under the Ottoman Empire regime?
Do you know exactly, what was the reason of the conflict occurred at least 100 years ago between Turks and Armenians?
Please, hear the past, see the present and look ahead to the future.
In other words, we must focus together hand in hand to our present problems such as economy, health, education and prosperity.
Let's get back to the point; our problem is how to prepare a good future to our children and live together in a peaceful world.In this case we must leave this claims and solution to the Turkey and Armenia.
Both countries can do better than others.
Armenian millitary forces commited genocides in the town of Khojali (Azerbaijan) with the population of 7 thousand azeri people on februrary 26 1992. There were 3 thousand people in the town at the time of Armenian millitary forces' attack. As most part of the population had to leave town during 4 months blockade. 613 people were killed, 1000 peaceful people of different age became invalid during Khojali genocide. 106 women, 63 children, 70 old men were killed. 8 families were completely annihilated, 130 children lost one parents, while 25 both of them. 1275 peace residents were taken hostages, the fate of 150 of them is still unknown.
This is real face of armenian nationalism.
bilge
Generally i agree with you Larrabee. You seem a unbiased writer.
As to B.H.Obama's visit to Turkey, this is the first time we, muslims, have ever feel sympathy with usa govt. for a long time. I think it stems from Obama's sincerity that doesn't exist in Bush.
Eventually usa understood that Turkey is a indispensable friend for her.
What will be the positive outcome of the resolution, except the word genocide and maybe retribution. There are also evidence that Armenians were supporting Russia during the war. 😦
Also, question for the individuals who support the passing of the resolution:
– How would this help the current situation with Turkey-Armenia
– How would this help the relationship between US-Turkey
– Who do you blame, Ottoman Empire or Turkey. Two different governments.
– Would Armenia want this resolution, because it will damage the relations with Turkey, which is need?
Why view is that why worry about the past and ruin the future of the two nations who probably could benefit from each other.
Hakan Ozen
If this was a genocide, then please look what happened to 500.000 Turkish civilian in the WWI period. Turkey deny the genocide because Turkish citizens didn't die by deportation like Armenians faced. They were murdered.
Ali Kurt
What happened between 1915-1917 at Ottoman Empire was a tragedy no one can change that. But at that time Ottoman Empire was collapsing and all western nations tried to break it piece by piece.
But this tragedy is not same as Adolf Hitler's genocide that killed millions of Jews.
This was well planned to create great Armenia in that region.
And it was planned and organised by France and Britain.
As an Albanian Turkish citizen I think this tragedy has many partners this includes Ottoman Empire, Britain France and Germany all who to blame. Before this tragedy happened Armenians were considered priviledged and many became high ranking military officials at Ottoman times. As Armenians tried to break away from the country they lost this priviledge and this tragic civil war happened.

"This is quite simple, Turkey should apologize for the genocide against the Armenians and move on. The whole world accept of course Turkey, a few muslim nations in Africa and the US have already recognized the genocide. In fact, 33 states of the our Union have already recognized the genocide. Why not say "sorry" and move on. Damn, this is not that hard." 😦 ?
1-Why shall i accept such a blame on my nation?
that was a struggle against russia backed treaters during I.world war where hundreds of thousands from our side had also been killed while defending nation and did nothing more violent than what was done in afghanistan,ıraq,vietnam,algeria,palestine or Hiroshima-Nagazaki.
will your congress ask for the right of raped women in İzmir by greek army, burning houses,murders in anatolia by foreign troops ?
As a turk i know that if those soldiers had not been there my family would now be like palestinians and turkey would be iraq. Even if all the universe passes such a law, we will not betray our history and mark our honourable defence as "genocide"
2-Armenia officially demands eastern anatolia and genocide propaganda is the first step.2nd is payment and land trials.We are not idiot.
Sinan-Turkey

I do not understand the need for a resolution. I am Turkish and know that this was a symmetrical act between the two parties, where both sides had casualties. Genocide is a systematic killing of people by their ethnicity or race. This was a war between the two parties in this case, where all the killed were human, from both of the races, which is sad.
Why can not people leave history to historians? If history is defined by legislation, what will come next?
Let us make laws and legislations, resolutions regarding peace, prosperity and welfare.
greetings from Turkey. i'm a Turkish citizen and i'm proud for it even if the whole world try to blame us for something that is not true actually.-which is called 'false genoicide'.
We Turks are always open to face with the history,but it is really the Armenians who escape from its past. we can prove our innocence by our historical documents.it's not a genoicide but moving people to somewhere else because of the bad conditions of that place during the World War I in 1915.
Anyway,if you blame us for that , why the whole world can't see the Armenians massacre on the Azeri Turks.They killed most of the children and pregnant women brutally. So why dont you call this as a 'Genoicide' too???? Why do people dont show sentiments against Armenians atrocities to Turks if they are so concerned about human rights.
please be more neutral and impartial while making comments, stop lingering the whole world with such kind of false claims if you dont have some proofs.
memotzz
Totally agree with sensitive people from all over the world.It was a war by all means,thousands of people died or fled from all sides.What was Anzacs doing for God's sake in Canakkale?
So with all due respect to our Armenian friends(I have quite a few),please stop attacking or making implausible demands from Turkey through extreme exaggeration of tragedies and body count.Turkey has lots of problems today and the clearest danger is bizarrely interpret fanatic Islamism taking over the country while 1 million clueless jetset are living like everyday is a party.

DEA and YGG SEA Announce Strategic Partnership to Expand GameFi Across SEA
Irene Umar, Co-Founder and Indonesia Country Manager of Yield Guild Games Southeast Asia (YGG SEA, left) and Tatsuya Kohrogi, CSO of Digital Entertainment Asset (DEA, right) announce their partnership at Philippine Web3 Festival on November 18.
DEA Partners With YGG SEA
The partnership will see all PlayMining games onboarded to the yggsea.io GameFi platform, as well as promotional and charity activities across Southeast Asia.
The partnership will see the entire game catalog of DEA's GameFi platform PlayMining onboarded to the yggsea.io game platform, as well as collaboration between the two companies on promotional and charitable initiatives in the Southeast Asia region.
SINGAPORE, Dec. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Entertainment Asset (DEA), operator of the PlayMining GameFi entertainment platform, has entered a strategic partnership with Yield Guild Games Southeast Asia (YGG SEA), a subsidiary of the world's largest P2E gaming guild, Yield Guild Games (YGG). The partnership, which was officiated on November 18 at the Philippine Web3 Festival in Manila — a conference that DEA was an official sponsor of — will see the two companies work together to expand and promote the GameFi market in Southeast Asia.
DEA_YGGSEA_Partnership_1
As part of the partnership, the entire PlayMining NFT game catalog will be onboarded to YGG SEA's game platform yggsea.io. DEA and YGG SEA will also cooperate on joint marketing and promotional activities for PlayMining's services in Southeast Asia, including reaching out to people who have yet to experience GameFi through online and offline events.
The two companies will also collaborate in charity activities in impoverished areas across Southeast Asia, raising awareness of the social and economic impact that digital asset ownership can offer and laying the groundwork for the spread of GameFi in the region. The partner companies already joined forces in October to deliver lunch boxes to impoverished areas in Indonesia, and plan to collaborate on similar joint efforts in the future.

DEA_YGGSEA_Partner_2
"We are proud to partner with YGG SEA and honored to have PlayMining's games on their platform," said DEA CSO Tatsuya Kohrogi. "Digital Entertainment Asset is committed to using our game platform to promote social good throughout Southeast Asia and the rest of the world by giving value back to the people through fair digital asset ownership. We are also wholly dedicated to helping those in need, and look forward to teaming up with YGG SEA again soon for another charitable initiative."
"What a pleasure to have DEA as our partner and to offer our community access to the PlayMining game catalog. With our values so well aligned, we are certain that this partnership between YGG SEA and DEA will be a fruitful one," said Irene Umar, Co-Founder of YGG SEA. "We pride ourselves on being the friendly face who welcomes everyone into the Web3 gaming universe. Everyone loves games – so we lend out game NFTs for free to enable everyone to have a taste of playing blockchain games and earn their first crypto tokens! There would be many 'firsts' for the community as they enter into the metaverse and we want to be there to ease the process. We have reached out to many marginal communities such as the one PlayMining and YGG SEA teamed up to help in October, and we are committed to reaching out to similar communities to spread the word about the equal opportunities that GameFi has to offer."
YGG SEA was launched as the first subDAO of the world's largest DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) gaming guild YGG, with a global expansion strategy focusing on Southeast Asian countries including Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Myanmar. YGG SEA currently offers eighteen Web3 games, with five PlayMining games soon to be added onto the platform. The company's mission is to guide new scholars from Southeast Asia to safely navigate the Web3 space through a range of grassroots activities, including localization and charity.
PlayMining: Bringing Social Good Through GameFi
The PlayMining GameFi platform includes the NFT game titles Job Tribes, Cookin' Burger, Menya Dragon Ramen, Graffiti Racer and Lucky Farmer, which all appeal to casual gamers. The platform is also home to the PlayMining NFT marketplace, which hosts NFTs for all of their games as well as artwork from some of the most acclaimed creators in the Japanese video game and anime industries. PlayMining Verse, a metaverse platform, is also under development.
The PlayMining NFT market is powered by DEAPcoin ($DEP) tokens, the first P&E token with official approval by Japan's Financial Service Agency. DEP is also integrated into PlayMining game titles, allowing players to earn the tokens in various ways.
In addition to creating economic opportunities for impoverished people, PlayMining is dedicated to assisting independent game studios with intellectual property (IP) monetization. Small game development companies lose a great amount of value to distribution channels and other stakeholders — the largest distributors such as Apple, Nintendo, Playstation and Microsoft notoriously take a whopping 30% cut — making it hard for independent IPs to be efficiently grown on multiple channels. On the other hand, third-party studios who launch NFT games on PlayMining pay much more reasonable fees and have access to the PlayMining NFT marketplace, the upcoming PlayMining Verse platform and Japan's only P&E token, providing multiple ways for new IPs to be monetized.
About PlayMining
PlayMining is a GameFi and metaverse platform that empowers creators who would otherwise benefit very little in the traditional IP creation industry. The PlayMining platform is a new business model for content creation, featuring an NFT Marketplace powered by the PlayMining DEAPcoin ($DEP), paired with an NFT gaming and Metaverse platform. Featuring both in-house games as well as third-party projects with their own native tokens that allow creators to capture nearly all of the value they create, the PlayMining platform has 2.6 million users and a catalog of P&E game titles including Job Tribes, Cookin' Burger, Menya Dragon Ramen, Graffiti Racer and Lucky Farmer.
About Digital Entertainment Asset
Digital Entertainment Asset Pte. Ltd. (DEA) is a Singapore-based global Web3 entertainment company founded in August 2018. DEA is a developer of Play and Earn (P&E) games, and also operates the PlayMining NFT game platform, the PlayMining NFT marketplace, the PlayMining Verse metaverse project and DEAPcoin - the first P&E token approved by the Financial Service Agency of Japan. The team is headed by two co-CEOs — Naohito Yoshida and Kozo Yamada — who together bring decades of experience in founding successful startups (with 3 IPOs), creating hit video games, producing Web TV programs and a deep understanding of NFT gaming.

Last Lap: Why Doesn't Kim Kardashian's Daughter's Name Begin With 'K'?
Is Scarlett Johansson engaged? Is Arrested Development set to come back for a fifth season? And will The Wolverine win this weekend's box office?
Before little North West was born, the masses assumed Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would give their child an alliterative name to match the famous parents. But it wasn't meant to be, mostly because Kim didn't want to invite the KKK, um, komparison. [Us Magazine]
We would love it if Scarlett Johansson was preparing to walk down the aisle, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Even though she's sporting some significant bling on her ring finger, the actress claims she's not engaged to her French boyfriend. [E!]
Fans may not be done with the dysfunctional Bluth family. Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz reportedly says that more episodes are on the way. Huzzah! [Uproxx]

"One good thing about music - when it hits you feel no pain" - Bob Marley
Brit Pop and beyond
Folk Rock/Country Rock/Americana
Punk, New Wave & Post Punk
Sixties Compilations
Traditional British Folk
The albums covered here are:-
Talk Is Cheap (1988)
and Main Offender (1992)
Scroll down to read the reviews.
1. Big Enough
2. Take It So Hard
3. Struggle
4. I Could Have Stood You Up
5. Make No Mistake
6. You Don't Move Me
7. How I Wish
8. Rockawhile
9. Whip It Up
10. Locked Away
11. It Means A Lot
Keith Richards' first solo of "Keith songs" from 1988, is not a bad effort at all. It was released during the period when Richards and Jagger had fallen out. It contains some excellent material that would not have disgraced any Stones album from the period. In fact, it puts much of Dirty Work into the shadows, and Steel Wheels, for that matter.
The sound on the latest (2019) remaster is excellent - big, punchy, bassy and muscular. Just as I like it.
The opener, Big Enough is a great track, all funky guitars and saxophone riffs. A sort of un-Stonesy sound that has a real refreshing, lively appeal. The new remaster makes it sound even better. It now has a huge punch to it. Take It So Hard is more of a typical "Keith track" that you might find on a Stones album - a trademark riff and Keith's understated, downbeat, quiet voice struggling, as usual, to make itself heard. It is an album of fundamental, hard-working rock, a bit like David Bowie with Tin Machine. Keith liked that "back to basics", working with a band thing, forgetting all about the image and marketing concerns that seemed to fascinate Mick Jagger. This album sort of exemplifies that ideology. You can sense that Keith is enjoying himself here, throughout the album. One feels that if Richards had left The Stones at this point, he would have carried on putting out albums like this for the rest of his career. Indeed, his other two solo albums are similar. Take it So Hard, however, still has that slight hiss at the beginning, even on the new remaster.
Struggle has more classic Richards riffage, and sounds very Stonesy, let's be honest. If you heard it, unaware, you would say "a mid-late eighties Rolling Stones album track". It still sounds energising and punchy, however. I Could Have Stood You Up takes Richards back to his rock'n'roll youth. It is almost skiffle in its jaunty rhythm. It is an enjoyable oddity. Make No Mistake is one of those whispered, croaking vocal slow rock ballads that appear on most Stones albums from the eighties onwards. It is backed by some excellent funky, soulful brass sections, although the song seems too taxing for Keith's voice on occasions. I has hints of Almost Hear You Sigh from The Stones' Steel Wheels about it.
You Don't Move Me has an intoxicating drum intro, matched by Richards' choppy riff. The powerful remaster has once more really opened this one up. Great bass on it too. As Keith songs go, this is a very good one. It would have been much better had songs like this ended up on Stones albums, even if Jagger was to sing them, like he did, successfully, on Almost Hear You Sigh, in fact. Apparently, though, the song was thinly veiled swipe at Jagger so maybe that would not have been a good idea! How I Wish starts with another trademark riff that continues throughout the song, which is an energetic rocker. Rockawhile is an engaging, slow tempo number with a hypnotic rhythm behind it. It just sort of chugs along without getting too far and features some Gimme Shelter-style backing vocals too. It has an appeal all the same.
Whip It Up is another riffy number. A bit of hiss at the beginning (as there is on a few of the songs). A big, rumbling bass powers this one along, matching Keith's riffs. Locked Away is a low key slow number that is very much like a Stones album Keith song, especially the "I oughta be locked away" chorus. It Means A Lot is a gritty, tough, clunky closer to what is a spirited, enthusiastically-delivered album. Again, the sound on this is outstanding.
The 2019 Bonus Tracks are:-
1. Blues Jam
2. My Babe
3. Slim
4. Big Town Playboy
5. Mark On Me
6. Brute Force
These previously unreleased numbers are far more blues, on the whole, than the riffy rock of the main album. It is a shame that a couple of them hadn't found their way on to the album.
Blues Jam is, as you might imagine, a blues jam. If you like blues rock, you will enjoy it for what it is, as I do. Of course, it is nothing really new, but I like jams. I like the Eric Clapton ones and the George Harrison ones. My Babe continues in a catchy, bluesy vein, with some early rock'n'roll grooves to it as well. It has an infectious, groovy bass line. It sounds like a cover of an old song, but apparently it is a Jimmy Reed cover, so there you go. It's a good one. Slim goes down the jamming road once more with a ten minute plus workout featuring rollicking piano, throbbing bass, rhythmic drums and melodic guitar interjections (as opposed to riffy ones). the sound is excellent on it and once more, if you like jams, you will enjoy it. The jazzy drum sound is addictive. There is a slight feel of Fela Kuti in places (but without the saxophone).
Big Town Playboy is a mid-pace piano and guitar driven blues number, and Eddie Taylor cover, with old Stones mate Mick Taylor's guitar to the fore. Ex-Chuck Berry pianist Johnnie Johnson is on piano. Mark On Me is a return to rock and, while typically riffy, is dominated by a very eighties synthesiser riff too. There is a tiny hint of that strange "doo-de-doo-de-doo-doo" noise from Jimi Hendrix's Crosstown Traffic in there too. It is still a good track, though, full of industrial thump and power. Brute Force is another instrumental jam, this time a quirky, staccato one with an appealing rhythm.
So, in conclusion, if you are hoping for a good new remaster, you will get it. If you are in search of a cornucopia of unreleased gems, you will probably be left still looking. The bonus tracks are three songs and three instrumental jams. This satisfies me, but it may not do for some. I wouldn't say any of it is essential.
MAIN OFFENDER (1992)
2. Wicked As It Seems
3. Eileen
4. Words Of Wonder
5. Yap Yap
6. Body Talks
7. Hate It When You Leave
8. Runnin' Too Deep
9. Will But You Won't
10. Demon
This is a slightly more polished album than Talk Is Cheap, Keith Richards' raw-eged debut solo album. The same writing and production team was involved, but there is something a bit better in the sound quality on this one.
It is pretty much accepted opinion that Richards' solo albums would have made great Rolling Stones albums and, oddly enough, the material on them is, on the whole, far more vibrant and rocking than the usual one or two tracks he had had been contributing to Stones albums (and would continue to do). The grinding, rocking opener 999, for example, or the particularly impressive Wicked As It Seems (which has an absolutely knockout Richards riff) are far superior to anything he put on a Stones album for years before. The Stones tracks tended to be either wheezy, sleepy ballads or rockers which highlighted his vocal limitations. On this album his voice is stronger, more rocky, more bluesy, gruffer and the riffage is more powerful, more potent. As I mentioned in my review of his first solo album, these songs would sound great sung by Jagger. Wicked As It Seems would be awesome in Jagger's hands. Apparently it acted as an inspiration for some of Jagger's material on The Stones' 1994 album Voodoo Lounge. With Keith Richards' solo work, you feel it is Richards enjoying himself with a band of mates, getting really into it, whereas Mick Jagger's solo albums were simply Mick singing some songs.
Eileen is a bit closer to his usual Stones material, but it still has a strong riff and drum backing. Oddly, his band here seem to have more Stonesy punch than sometimes The Stones themselves have. It as a great guitar and drum interplay bit at the end. Not too many white rock artists can play reggae successfully - witness Led Zeppelin and Elton John's clumsy attempts in the seventies - however, Richards is the exception to the rule. Words Of Wonder is a shuffling, rimshot-enhanced dubby groove with a suitable mournful vocal. Yap Yap is a more archetypal, laid-back Richards rocker. Body Talks is a little bit Keith Richards-by-numbers. It is pleasant enough, but lyrically barren. It is ok, but not the best on the album, sort of meandering along without getting anywhere.
Hate It When You Leave is a lovely, tender, yearning love song, while Runnin' Too Deep has one hell of a riff. That can only be Keith Richards. The song has a great groove to it. It seriously rocks. Will But You Won't is a bluesy grind, and Demon is a typical, quiet Stonesy Richards number to finish off.
In many ways, this album is the equal of Steel Wheels or Voodoo Lounge. I still prefer those two, but this album is certainly not without merit. It would be twenty-three years before Richards recorded another solo album, which was a shame.

Q: Removing commas from arrays in HTML [element.innerHTML] So I'm having an issue with this. I'm trying to get rid of those commas. Used varArray.join(" ") too, but with no success. I went as far as creating a for loop, but it didn't work(well it might've worked, but I'm a beginner, though I doubt that).
Here's the code:

let varArray = [];
let rufus1 = document.getElementById('rufus1');
let rufus2 = document.getElementById('rufus2'); // variables for easing syntax

function arrayGiver() {
  varArray.push('
' + document.getElementById('rufus1').value + '
');
  // I've used `<div>` instead of `<br>` for line breaking the elements, but when I'll be making bigger more complex projects I should probably use `<br>` shouldn't I?

  rufus2.innerHTML = ("You have just added to your collection:" + "
" +
    varArray);
  //this cleans the input after executing the function
  rufus1.value = '';
}

//this makes the function execute on an enter key press
document.addEventListener('keydown', function(enterKey) {
  if (enterKey.keyCode === 13) {
    arrayGiver();
  }
})
<input id="rufus1">

<button onclick="arrayGiver();">Bleh</button>

A: Because array auto add commas as separator when converted to string. You can get rid of this by simply use join(' ') on varArray as below

    let varArray = [];
    let rufus1 = document.getElementById('rufus1');
    let rufus2 = document.getElementById('rufus2');
    // variables for easing syntax

    function arrayGiver() {
      varArray.push('
' + document.getElementById('rufus1').value + '
') // I've used `<div>` instead of `<br>` for line breaking the elements, but when I'll be making bigger more complex projects I should probably use `<br>` shouldn't I?

      rufus2.innerHTML = ("You have just added to your collection:" + "
" +
        varArray.join(' '));
      //this cleans the input after executing the function
      rufus1.value = '';
    }

    //this makes the function execute on an enter key press
    document.addEventListener('keydown', function (enterKey) {
      if (enterKey.keyCode === 13) {
        arrayGiver();
      }
    })
  <input id="rufus1" type="text">

  <button onclick="arrayGiver();">Bleh</button>

A: You can use forEach() or another loop to add the array elements to innerHTML
For this answer I used:
varArray.forEach(e => rufus2.innerHTML += e);

which iterates over the array adding each element (e) to rufus2.innerHTML.

let varArray = [];
let rufus1 = document.getElementById('rufus1');
let rufus2 = document.getElementById('rufus2'); // variables for easing syntax

function arrayGiver() {
  varArray.push('
' + document.getElementById('rufus1').value + '
');
  // I've used `<div>` instead of `<br>` for line breaking the elements, but when I'll be making bigger more complex projects I should probably use `<br>` shouldn't I?

  rufus2.innerHTML = ("You have just added to your collection:" + "
");
  varArray.forEach(e => rufus2.innerHTML += e);
  //this cleans the input after executing the function
  rufus1.value = '';
}

//this makes the function execute on an enter key press
document.addEventListener('keydown', function(enterKey) {
  if (enterKey.keyCode === 13) {
    arrayGiver();
  }
})
<input id="rufus1">

<button onclick="arrayGiver();">Bleh</button>

A: To achieve expected result, use string variable instead of array as below
let varArray = [];
var list ='';
let rufus1 = document.getElementById('rufus1');
let rufus2 = document.getElementById('rufus2');
// variables for easing syntax

function arrayGiver(){
  list = list + '
' + document.getElementById('rufus1').value + '
'
  rufus2.innerHTML = ("You have just added to your collection:" + "
" + list);
  list.value = '';
}

https://codepen.io/nagasai/pen/bvQKbX

let varArray = [];
var list ='';
let rufus1 = document.getElementById('rufus1');
let rufus2 = document.getElementById('rufus2');
// variables for easing syntax

function arrayGiver(){
  list = list + '
' + document.getElementById('rufus1').value + '
'
  rufus2.innerHTML = ("You have just added to your collection:" + "
" + list);
  list.value = '';
}

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(enterKey) {
  if(enterKey.keyCode === 13){
    arrayGiver();

Q: Push-pull amp in class A what it mean I take next sample schematic.

This is only an output stage of any real power amplifier. It's clear when it's work in B-class the every BJT amplify only one half of input signal. But what it means if it works in class A. I know that the  current always go through BJT if it works in class A. And if signal is too small but enough to open the BJT it will amplify both negative and positive signal swings before the signal level achieves some value above that only part of that signal will be amplified with "N" or "P" stage accordigly. Ok, if both parts of small signal amplified with every parts of a power amplifier, how do they added on load resistance? They both must have opposite direction and must differ from each other and the 0 must be on load. Here is a trick that I can't understand. Any suggestions?

A: They both must have opposite direction and must differ from each other and the 0 must be on load.
What makes you think that the output currents of the NPN and PNP transistor have a different direction? You should be careful with the direction of currents and also separate the direction of a DC current (bias current) and the direction of a change in current (due to a small input signal) which we often call AC.
Assume that we have a small but positive input signal, meaning the voltage rises. What will happen:

*

*The \$V_{BE}\$ of the NPN will increase

*The \$I_C\$ and thus \$I_E\$ of the NPN will increase

*The \$V_{BE}\$ of the PNP will decrease

*The \$I_C\$ and thus \$I_E\$ of the PNP will decrease
So at the node "Probe1" there's a current increase coming "from above" while at the same time there's also a current decrease coming "from below".
And the current law tells us that the current into load R3 will be:
\$I_{load} = I_{above} - I_{below} = I_{NPN} - I_{PNP}\$
So the currents do not have cancel but actually add up.
But there's a minus sign so they subtract?
Yes but note how \$I_{NPN}\$ increases yet how at the same time \$I_{PNP}\$ decreases. So those changes do add up.
When the NPN supplies more current it is also "helped" by the PNP as the PNP will draw less current.
It is like the NPN is "pushing" more while at the same time the PNP is "pulling" less. So both NPN and PNP contribute to the change in the current through the load.

A:
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
A class A amplifier also biases the transistor just like the class AB. When the transistor is biased it resembles the load resistor. This is similar to the resistor string to the right. At the bias point, with no input Q1 is adjusted to match R1. A class A amplifier will invert the signal but because of the biasing any signal even a small one will operate the amplifier.


Leland Melvin has had a pretty interesting life. He was a professional football player for a while with the Detroit Lions, then the Dallas Cowboys. After an injury, he decided to take it easy and become an astronaut. He flew missions on the Space Shuttle Atlantis, and is now the head of NASA education, encouraging students to pursue math and science careers. But even after all of that, Jake and Scout, Melvin's dogs, aren't letting him hog the spotlight.
The pups appeared with Melvin on an episode of The Dog Whisperer where Cesar Millan helped the pups learn to be more relaxed when people came to the door and become a little less protective of Melvin. The astronaut's bond with his dogs is very strong, which is why he decided to include them in his official NASA photo.
"@AdamAton: This is an official portrait for astronaut Leland Melvin. I'm in awe. pic.twitter.com/GzqvXryAMH"Thx for the Twitter love Adam.
In one of the pictures, the dogs sit quietly beside Melvin. But that calm doesn't last for long, as the pups can't wait to cover him with doggy kisses. The excited dogs shower Melvin with slober, and their moment of love will go down in history with the photo.
Would you include your dogs in your photo if you went to space? Let us know in the comments below!

Allegory of the Infinite Mortal

Collaboration with Laurel Roth
"The infinite has a potential existence… There will be no actual infinite." - Aristotle
Is space infinite? Is time infinite? Is there an immortal soul? For "Allegory of the Infinite Mortal" we created a model tableau representing human contemplation of the infinite. It is not so much about infinity or immortality as it is about the scientific and philosophical structures mankind has used throughout history to explore the concepts of infinity and immortality and our place therein.
A circular garden around a central fountain of youth (modeled on Klaus Weber's LSD Fountain, 2003) provides a space for a gathering of historical figures who created models of thought that have influenced the way we think about the infinite. Gardens are spaces of both man and nature – separate from both the city and the untamed jungle and created for contemplation and elevation of the soul. A mixture of philosophers, mathematicians, and others populate this garden, from Brahmagupta, the first century mathematician credited with giving us the number zero, to our saint of immaculate immortality, Henrietta Lacks, who died of cancer in the 1950s, but whose biopsied cells became the first immortal human cell line, not only surviving to this day, but saving countless lives through the medical research they allowed.
Beyond the safety of the garden lies the vastness of an endless sea populated by monsters of the unknown void. Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world as of 2010, rises from the sea like the Tower of Babel into a sky filled with angels, some in the form of biologically immortal jellyfish and human heLa cells. Referencing both the holographic principle and celestial depictions of divinity, the angels and light flood out a tunnel in the heavens. A rain of binary code falls across the sky from a demon's open mouth as his jaws return all created things back into undifferentiated matter. As part of an archway framing the sky and inspired by early Jain and Hindu thinking about the infinite, the demon also represents K i r t t i m u k h a, devourer of time and symbol of life feeding upon itself for survival. Atop the arches and against the starry void beyond the sky sit an observatory and a church, representing the two paths mankind tends to take in his exploration of the infinite. In his search to expand limits of knowledge, mankind examines the smallest elements and the farthest reaches of his world. Both science and religion turn to allegory to represent what we cannot see for ourselves.


The Arsenal manager signed a new two-year contract Wednesday, the Premier League club announced on its website. Wenger's contract news ends months of speculation over his future, with his Arsenal tenure likely to stretch to 23 years by the time his deal expires.
"I love this club, and I am looking forward to the future with optimism and excitement," Wenger said in a club-issued statement. "We are looking at what we do well and how we can be stronger everywhere. This is a strong group of players, and with some additions, we can be even more successful. We're committed to mounting a sustained league challenge, and that will be our focus this summer and next season.
Wenger's position is one of the most divisive topics in the Premier League, with large sections of Arsenal's fan base calling for his departure. He led the Gunners to a fifth-place finish in 2016-17, its lowest position since 1996, and exited the UEFA Champions League in the round of 16. But Arsenal's late-season revival and FA Cup triumph convinced Wenger and the board of directors that he can help the club achieve its goals.
Wenger, 67, demonstrated a magic touch early in his Arsenal tenure but has been less successful on the back end.
The next two-plus years likely will shape Wenger's full legacy as Arsenal's manager.

First Generation Graduates Celebrated, Receive Medallions
contact: Brandon Bartling - University Communications
email: unonews@unomaha.edu
This May, some of the newest alumni from the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) received recognition not just for completing their program, but for accomplishing their academic goals of earning their degree as a first-generation college student.
UNO's First Generation Guild was established in Fall 2019 to ensure first-generation students, which make up more than a third of all UNO undergraduate students, received support, resources, and guidance to reach their academic goals. Beginning in December 2019, the guild began to award special medallions alongside degrees to first-generation graduates as further recognition of their accomplishments.
When the university was prompted to move to virtual commencement ceremonies for May 2020, the First Generation Guild had to adapt to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
To meet this challenge, rather than including the medallions along with their degree in the mail, leaders from the Guild provided students with an opportunity to return to campus and collect their medallion in person.
"When it was announced that commencement would be held virtually, we started thinking about how we can continue to recognize the achievements of our first-generation students who had reached the finish line," said Shannon Teamer, director of the First-Generation Guild and senior director of Inclusion Programs and Services at UNO. "What better way than to give them the opportunity to return to the campus they've called home for the past few years and present them with a special medallion to commemorate their achievements."
For two weekends after commencement, first-generation graduates could stop by campus to collect their medallion, receive congratulations from the First Generation Guild, and even take a few photos around campus or with Durango.
Medallions were distributed from a parking lot booth across from the Weitz CEC as a means to maintain social distancing. Hundreds of medallions were handed out over two weekends and even more were sent to those who requested to receive the medallion by mail.
Among UNO's 15,000+ students, about four out of every 10 UNO students are first-generation, meaning their parents did not graduate from a four-year institution. About 485 graduates who received their degrees in May were first-generation students.
First-generation graduates who received their degree in May 2020 but did not receive a medallion and would like to request one should contact unofirstgenmavs@unomaha.edu.

New Orleans Pelicans Game Previews
The Pelicans look to trip up the Suns for a third time
New Orleans has enjoyed the most success this season against Phoenix. Can they maintain their streak?
By Oleh Kosel@OlehKosel Dec 18, 2015, 12:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: The Pelicans look to trip up the Suns for a third time
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
For the third time this season, the Pelicans will face the Suns, yet they probably won't mind. New Orleans has just 7 wins in their first 25 games this season, but two of them have come against Phoenix. In back-to-back games right before Thanksgiving, the Pelicans dismissed the Suns both times by a margin of 6 points. They scored 120 or more in both contests, a total they've only hit or surpassed in just two other regular season games. Yeah, playing the Suns has been good for the team's W/L record and individual stat lines.
Since the two losses, the Suns have managed to win just 4 of their last 12 games. Markieff Morris, a full-time starter since the start of last season, has disappeared entirely from the rotation.
Subsequently, trade rumors have continuously swirled around him including a possible deal for Ryan Anderson. According to reports, both teams have engaged in only preliminary talks, and with December 15th coming and going, there appears a good chance a deal may not come to fruition. Unless, of course, Anderson drops 40 points Friday night.
Keys to Victory
Limit the effectiveness of the Suns' backcourt. Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe have helped Phoenix become the fifth highest scoring backcourt unit at 50.3 points a game. They're also none too shabby in the assist (5th), steal (1st), FG% (5th) and 3FG% (5th) departments. However, with all that usage, they are prone to turnovers (2nd most).
Win the rebounding battle. The Suns are a ghastly 1-11 when they're out-rebounded, but 9-5 when they beat their opponent on the glass. According to statistics, defensive rebounding is especially important. The Suns are 9-2 when they finish with more defensive boards, 2-14 when they do not.
Keep working on ball movement. The Pelicans ball movement against the Utah Jazz was a step in the right direction as they finished with 333 passes. In the two losses prior, they had made 291 and 282 passes respectively. In their two games against the Suns in November, they averaged 335.5.

Uganda's National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) has just won a consultancy agreement with Rwanda's water and power utility company ELECTROGAZ.
Under the deal, NWSC will help ELECTROGAZ in water resource management, customer care and marketing.
Were this a private sector venture, it would have passed as another story. But the two companies are government owned and run entities.


A portable water purification system is one of the most ideal travel accessories found today. This appliance is convenient and handy whether you are out camping in the wild or even at home in need of safe pure water to mix your baby's formula and other foods. One of the most disconcerting facts according to the US EPA is that almost 90 percent of the water supply of the world is contaminated.
Since the water you get in most cities is not safe for drinking purposes it is necessary to have a water purification system installed that will ensure safe and pure water in your home. Different contaminants like bacteria, viruses and microorganisms as well as chemicals that are unwanted are present in water. While boiling water can kill the biological microorganisms and bacteria, it does not destroy chemicals. On the other hand, a water purifier does both – destroys chemicals and biological contaminants making the water clean and safe for drinking and other purposes.
1. Iodine: These purifiers fall into the chemical category. Iodine is even more effective than other purifiers of the chemical kind. It has to be stored in dark containers as it is sensitive to light. For some though, this type of water purifier is not an option for water treatment – especially those who are allergic to iodine.
2. Chlorine: This is another way to treat and purify the water and is a great alternative for those who do not use iodine. This chemical treatment is quite popular. The chlorine is added to the water and then allowed to settle while it does its work of cleaning the water.
Before you can buy a portable water purification system you have to know that a water filter is not basically a water purifier. It is important to know that a water filter will remove suspended particulate matter from the water according to the filter size and how small or large the particles are so that they are caught by the filter. Water filters do not destroy or remove microorganisms, bacteria, viruses or even chemicals.
There are different similarities in the names of the products being sold. Some of them remove herbicides, suspended particles, lead and pesticides and some of them don't. It is important to choose a model that will suit your needs. If you are always on the go and travelling a portable water purification system unit that is lightweight and small is a good option.
It is also necessary to check the independent ratings of travel water purifiers. Some of them meet EPA standards for the removal of bacteria, virus and other microorganisms. Once you actually use a portable water purification system you will know which product works well and which ones have flaws. Reading customer reviews really help.
