The year: 2051. The place: NeoLondon. I emerge from my Sl33pPod and blink, disorientated in a halogen haze. Hopping onboard an automated BozBike I navigate the glittering zero-g spires and head to the gently pulsing TwitterPleX. I've been looking forward to tonight - this is Kanye West's big comeback tour - his first in years. Sure at 74, his flow isn't quite as slick as it once was, the autotune is being worked to an even more ridiculous degree, he's put on a bit oworkef weight and lost a bit of hair. But dammit, this is Kanye West, father of President North West, Nobel Prize winner and the first artist to perform on the surface of Mars!
With some annoyance I note that the TwitterPleX is only two-thirds full, entire rows empty - "what is wrong with people that a gig like this hasn't sold out?" Kanye takes to the stage to a smattering of applause, launching straight into POWER. I'm fondly remembering the time I lay in sunny London Fields surrounded by lost friends listening to this on an iPod dock. But my reverie is soon distracted by some punk kids a few rows away. "Fella! Vine tha' corpse quinty shavebox!" I don't quite understand their futureslang but just the tone of their voice tells me they're making fun of Kanye. Making fun of Kanye?! My heart sinks, and in a crowded room I suddenly feel very old and alone.
So what the hell does any of that have to do with Mott the Hoople? Well on Friday night Mott the Hoople was that 74 year-old Kanye, and the guy making fun of the dinosaur on stage is me. Mott the Hoople were rocking back in the early 1970s, long-hair swaying in the Kodachrome breeze as their one bona fide all-time classic All the Young Dudes (penned by David Bowie) sang from radios. After this brief flash of success album sales declined, and the band broke up in 1976, the members reforming into other bands with limited success. In 2009 they reformed and played 5 rapturously received nights in the Hammersmith Apollo. Now, once again they're back, this time in the biggest stadium in the country.
The first thing you notice is that the place isn't exactly full. I have an entire row of seats to myself and though filling two-thirds of the o2 is nothing to sniff at, there's a sense that perhaps Mott the Hoople have over-estimated their popularity. The audience is made of bald or balding middle-aged men in dodgy leather jackets, guts shyly peeking over tightly belted blue denim. They call themselves 'Hooplites', which to be fair is pretty clever. In its own way the band and crowd are on the same page; both used to be with it. Then they changed what "it" was. Now, what they're with isn't it, and what's "it" is weird and scary.
What Mott the Hoople play and how they play it isn't particularly important. The audience's mind isn't on the stage or the sound; it's on their own lost youth. As the band launch through another song big in 1972 the crowd plaintively remembers the first time they touched a girl's chest, smoking dope in the back of a friend's van and getting yelled at for growing their hair long. For this crowd seeing Mott the Hoople is an affirmation of lost youth, a proof that you were once cool, young and vibrant before the anvil of age, family and responsibility crushed you flat.
On the other hand to anyone not young in the 1970s, you're watching five old guys you don't know sleepwalking through music most accurately described as dad-rock. The first five or so songs are identikit plodders, the kind of music you'd expect to find on compilations titled things like 'The Best Truckin' Songs in the World... Ever'. Compounding this drudgery is that lead singer Ian Hunter's precise impression of Bob Dylan's vocal technique. Unfortunately that's 2013 Dylan, so blasting through the giant amps of the o2 is a rasping, strangled yelp - songs sounding like they're being sung by a poorly maintained Vespa.
My heart sank as I realised I was in for two hours of this. For most of the first hour the only movement of note in the crowd was dribs and drabs of people making their way to the exits. It's difficult to get into a rock and roll spirit when people are leaving in droves, apparently preferring quiet public transport and an early bed to the show.
This exodus was a shame, because to be fair things did get a bit better towards the end. The welcome addition of backup singers softened the sound on stage, and some piano-led numbers added some desperately needed variety. I wouldn't exactly say I started enjoying the gig, but I certainly stopped not-enjoying the gig. Still, when they launched into the opening bars of All the Young Dudes there was a palpable sigh of relief as the we realised that this must herald the final moments of the gig. And you know what - All the Young Dudes was fun to listen to - though it's telling that a song written by David Bowie was head and shoulders above all their other material.
There's a sense of weariness that extends throughout the show, from the desultory audience interaction to a largely ossified band to the late 90s looking CG video displays and, unfortunately, right through the audience. As a memory trip this is probably great; a way to remember the time when you strutted atop the world, when pretty girls loved you and 'the man' was there to be fucked. Now you're what the cool kids despise and rebel against. And the most depressing thing? It'll happen to me too!
See you at Kanye West in 2051 folks!

Anyone can write an essay.
At least, that's the implicit assumption in high school and college classrooms. It's the default assignment, possibly because the essay is so conducive as a vehicle for expression—its greatest strength and its biggest weakness. The personal essay—even with its black-tie guise as the formal 'academic essay'—is the most readily available form of writing as its genesis is simply the individual expressing ideas. It's the form that most closely resembles the voice in our heads. Yet it's also the most difficult type of writing to do well, since writing an essay that speaks urgently from the page—that forces or compels us to reckon with its existence—is akin to passing a driving test with eyes closed: we have to draw on everything we know and remember and also have faith and luck. The essay has become the common currency in school because we've developed a cultural belief—either mistakenly or not—that anyone who reads and writes can sit down and pound out a few paragraphs in the first person that interestingly or meaningfully deal with some topic or theme or idea.
I teach writing at a small New England college. I often find myself in bemused, harumphing conversation with other professors; we sit around lamenting the poor quality of student writing, sagely shaking our shaggy, pedantic heads and bemoaning the lack of insight and poise and depth—that word gets thrown around more than Frisbees on the quad—in student writing. It's not our fault, of course; it's just that student essays are so thin; dashed off with syntax that's desperately in need of repair. We can't even begin to edit developmentally—critically guiding them in constructing arguments—because we're hung up on fixing grammar, spelling, and tense.
It's not our fault they can't write—is it?
Montaigne—who gave equal literary calibration to essays dealing with the political mores of 16th century France and his own farts, thereby codifying that the essay, when properly handled, can approach any subject—was 38 when he started writing. He pioneered an approach that has been replicated with success in myriad forms for almost 500 years: braiding self-reflection, personal experience, literary snippets, and historical context to get at some larger idea or question. It's a tried and true technique, and one that can be taught. But that's not really what we want from our essays or our students—didactic follow-through. The thing we want—if we're honest with ourselves—is that essay that comes at us with a piercing, alley-cat caterwaul that wakes us at night; whispers seductively so we can't help but acquiesce; nags at us for weeks after we've read it, insisting upon contemplation. What we don't want from the essay is obedience.
Montaigne had lived his whole life—in terms of 16th century life expectancies—before he began writing. E.B. White's famous essay 'Once More to the Lake' was written after White had been both a son and a father and visited the lake in Maine as both—it was the result of multiple incarnations of a life lived.
The essay is the most geologic of genres—it takes time, pressure, and the landscape scouring passage of epochs. I don't think it's coincidence that John McPhee wrote his epic study of United States geological history, Annals of the Former World, as a series of linked essays. All writing takes time, but the essay seems particularly well-suited to the sort of historical condensing and finely tuned insight built from sedimentary layers as time passes.
This is not to say that essays can't be written in bursts—they can—only that taking time to wander around thinking about the world within the words is helpful, as is the passage of time that contributes perspective to both thought and event. For some of us, it's a necessary function in writing essays.
I ask my students to write essays—due next week!—and either consciously or unconsciously judge them according to my own running list of what I consider to be exemplars of the form; Wallace's 'Consider the Lobster,' Smith's 'Speaking in Tongues,' Birkerts' 'The Other Walk.' I've asked for an essay, but not provided the necessary ingredients—time; the vital compression of memory that leads to heat. I shouldn't be surprised when they hand in dreck.
It's not necessarily that our students are worse writers than previous generations. It's a consistent myth that the current college generation is a bunch of texting, Tumblr obsessed non-writers. What is true—at least anecdotally—is that writing as a means of expression has changed structurally for the twenty-something set. Not all of them—there are students where I teach who hole up with novels and essay collections and work on setting down words one at a time to wrestle life into meaning. There are also those that have never read a book in their lives, but most populate the middle of that spectrum; Harry Potter and Hunger Games aficionados who begrudgingly churn out thousand word essays and resignedly read PDFs of Virginia Woolf and Geoff Dyer and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. But based on my own admittedly provincial sample, students have moved away from the continuum those of us over the age of thirty are used to. As Ander Monson has noted, the essay is now game, hack, fragment—it is everything and anything that ventures forth. The medium has changed—now we all live our lives as writers online to a certain extent—and we know what McLuhan said. As a result, the essay has changed too—there are new hybrids and mutations that challenge our notion of what an essay is. Which is as it should be.
The role of a writing teacher is both proactive—we need to get our students to see essays and poems and stories the way we see them in order to give them a springboard for their own take on things—but it's also reactive. We should respond to the way writing is changing by examining the way we teach—and the world within which we do.
Reading and writing essays will always be a boutique experience. It's hard to find someone in daily life who cares enough to argue about the legitimacy of John D'Agata's narrative hijinks in About a Mountain. But essays will always be valid because they are—ultimately—reflective both of our internal terrain and the world around us. Regardless of how the world we live in changes and becomes inundated by binary codes and screens, essays can morph right along with it—they are reflective at their core. Essays absorb change. They're limber.
If we want better writers—and more voracious and demanding readers—then we have to recognize that the dreaded five paragraph academic essay can't compete with the digital written landscape our students inhabit. But other adventurous forms can.
When we don't think about what we mean when we say 'essay,' we set our students up for failure when we ask them to write them. Better to look at 'dispatches' from The Common Online, or pieces that appear in Brevity. These staccato bursts of prose—essayistic snapshots—are more in tune with the fractured idea-world inhabited by our students and ourselves (see here: Twitter, Snapchat, Imgur, Reddit, Instagram, texting). What is essential as a starting point for young writers is not form or formality but a conscious lack thereof. The essay serves as a means of exploration, and whether it's a rough-hewn dugout canoe or a speedboat, all we need to do is get our students and ourselves navigating upriver to the source of our collective experience.
This was especially true when it came to writing about literature. Always the students bucked away from the words they encountered on the page in favor of personal reflection. The students were into feelings stuff, not thinking stuff.
Writing argument is a great way to teach students how to read carefully and critically. These students were leaving high school without having learned to do that. And since these high school students were all going on to college (it was that kind of school district) I pitied the literature professors who were going to be reading their research papers.
I personally think that the good old 5 paragraph essay is *the* tool to use when it comes to teaching students how to write argument. But at this school that was considered too old fashioned, too boring to use in the upper classes.


Is there still life left in Intel's Itanium? It all depends who you ask. HP still thinks so, but the number of other vendors that still support Itanium continues to dwindle. Oracle claims Intel is ending Itanium. HP and Intel respond.
This week, Oracle announced that it was stopping all software development for Intel's Itanium processor family. Oracle noted that it made the decision to terminate Itanium software development after conversations with Intel's senior management.
"Intel management made it clear that their strategic focus is on their x86 microprocessor and that Itanium was nearing the end of its life," Oracle stated in a press release.
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), however, refuted Oracle's statement and denied it is ending Itanium development.
"Intel's work on Intel Itanium processors and platforms continues unabated with multiple generations of chips currently in development and on schedule," said Paul Otellini, president and CEO of Intel, in a statement. "We remain firmly committed to delivering a competitive, multi-generational roadmap for HP-UX and other operating system customers that run the Itanium architecture."
The number of other operating system customers that run Itanium is in decline.
Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) isn't alone in abandoning Itanium software development. Both Microsoft and Red Hat have already stopped their Itanium software development activities.
Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) announced it was dropping Itanium support back in 2009, though only for the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL) operating system release. Red Hat said it remains committed to supporting RHEL 5 on Itanium until March 2014.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) announced in April 2010 it was ending Itanium software development.
HP (NYSE: HPQ) remains defiant, however, and blasted Oracle for alleging Intel was ending Itanium development.
"Oracle continues to show a pattern of anti-customer behavior as they move to shore up their failing Sun server business," said Dave Donatelli, executive vice president and general manager, Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking at HP, said in a statement. "We are shocked that Oracle would put enterprises and governments at risk while costing them hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity in a shameless gambit to limit fair competition."
As part of its acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Oracle inherited the SPARC server business, which is competitive with Itanium.
The current generation of Itanium chips is the quad-core Tukwila architecture, which debuted in February 2010. The next generation of Itanium is codenamed Poulson. It is a 32-nanometer, 8-core-based Itanium chip. According to HP and Intel, Poulson will offer double the performance of Tukwila.

Www.digitalplayspace.com - Affordable Animal Hospital Compton Ca. Cartoon is rapidly becoming an extremely popular career choice for all those considering combining their love for art with their love for computing. With pictures like Monsters Inc. and Cars holding the attention of kids and adults alike, so it's not surprising that cartoon technicians are becoming popular after. This can be connected to Affordable Animal Hospital Compton Ca.
This post talks about the difference of cartoon and anime, and the definition of every in many classes. Anime, generally from Japan, demonstrates by itself to get a great deal deeper and nicely thought-out in plot and character growth than those people of cartoons.
In the event you were being to talk to lots of individuals what their preferred productions were being no doubt every single might have their very own person lists. You'd be surprised on the range of animated kinds that could be incorporated. Therefore if who ever mentioned that cartoons are for kids? They're something that touches the hearts with the younger and aged for either gender.
A cartoon is defined like an visual change in a scene with respect to time. The visual shift in the scene isn't only related to the shift in the positioning of the thing, but additionally with its own contour, color, transparency, texture and structure. An important thing about cartoon is that it usually signifies the hand drawn or artificially drawn sequence of images, which contrasts into the pictures where actors performances together with real-world scenes are listed.
Associated to Affordable Animal Hospital Compton Ca, 3D Cartoon animation has come up as one of quite possibly the most endorsed technologies in today's personal computer age. This is the type of graphic imaging that has taken about 2d or scale product puppets in addition as drawings which were frequently called stop motion animation. More than the a long time, there was an ever growing need for cartoon films also as being the use of 3D cartoon animation during the media for endorsement of brand names that has initiated much better plus much more complex imaging software's on the market.

Three UK continues 5G network preparation
Via Three News
Agreement with SSE Enterprise Telecoms to connect Three's network to BT local telephone exchanges, facilitating fibre optic connections from masts to datacentres
As part of Three's 5G network preparations, this will provide customers with a faster and more reliable network
5G will enable Three to grow capacity on its network more than twenty fold
Three UK has continued its preparations for the rollout of 5G with an enhanced agreement with SSE Enterprise Telecoms to connect Three's network to hundreds of BT exchanges*. This will enable the mobile network to connect thousands of mast sites to its core network using fibre.
The new infrastructure will not only lay the groundwork for 5G, but will also improve the experience for Three customers using 4G. Fibre will allow the mobile operator to increase its network capacity twenty times, supporting the expected explosion in mobile data usage. Based on current Ofcom projections, Three UK customers are set to use around 90GB per month by 2025**.
The increased download speeds, and faster loading time of 5G, will allow consumers to download an HD film in seconds (thereby removing the need to stream). Fibre will also improve network reliability, as well as enable new applications in the internet of things. Initial deployments of next generation mobile services are expected to begin in H2 2019 when the first 5G capable handsets and home broadband devices are released by manufacturers.
This latest stage of Three UK's network improvements will allow Three to fully maximise its leading 5G spectrum portfolio and follows an agreement signed with Nokia to build the world's first fully virtualized 5G-ready core network**.
The multi-million-pound deal with SSE Enterprise Telecoms builds on a framework agreement announced in April. It was previously announced that SSE Enterprise Telecoms will provide a fibre resilience ring connecting all of Three's data centres as a back-up to the main supplier for these sites.
Bryn Jones, chief technology officer at Three UK, said,
"By significantly increasing our access to fibre, we are putting our network on the best footing possible to take advantage of the benefits of 5G technology. Our customers use 3.5 times more data per month than the average UK consumer and this deal will help us maintain our leadership in providing a fantastic data service. Fibre is essential to the UK's digital future and more needs to be done to improve its availability to ensure that the UK benefits from 5G at the earliest opportunity."
Colin Sempill, Managing Director at SSE Enterprise Telecoms, said,
"5G will allow Three UK to grow capacity on its network more than twenty-fold. But for 5G to live up to its potential, the right infrastructure must be in place. High capacity fibre connectivity is absolutely critical. We're fully invested in supporting the UK's digital ambitions, demonstrated in our recent investments in expanding our network, and it's exciting for us to be playing such an important role in Three UK's journey towards a 5G future for consumers and businesses."
*Agreement will connect the Three network to an initial 170 BT exchanges and up to 270 more longer-term, which will support fibre deployments to circa 6,000 masts in the urban areas of the UK

Magawa the brave rat ready for well-earned retirement
AP, June 9, 2021 7:00PM

After five years of sniffing out landmines and other explosives in Cambodia, Magawa the rat is retiring.
The African giant pouched rat is the most successful rodent trained by and working for a Belgian non-profit organisation called APOPO.
Last year, Magawa won a UK charity's top civilian* award for animal bravery — an honour until then only awarded to dogs.
"Although still in good health, he (Magawa) has reached a retirement age and is clearly starting to slow down," APOPO said. "It is time."
Magawa has cleared more than 141,000sqm of land, the equivalent of about 20 soccer fields, sniffing out 71 landmines and 38 items of unexploded ordnance*, according to APOPO.
Landmines are explosives or bombs buried just under the surface of the ground. They are designed to explode if walked or driven over. Experts estimate there are between four million and 10 million unexploded landmines still to be found in Cambodia, buried there during wars including the civil war* in the 1960s and '70s.
While many rodents can be trained to detect scents and will work at repetitive* tasks for food rewards, APOPO decided that African giant pouched rats were best suited to landmine clearance because their size allows them to walk across mine fields without triggering the explosives — and do it much more quickly than people. They also live up to eight years.
Magawa is part of a group of rats bred for this purpose. He was born in Tanzania in 2014, and in 2016, moved to Cambodia's northwestern city of Siem Reap, home of the famous Angkor temples, to begin his bomb-sniffing career.

In retirement, Magawa will live in his same cage as before and follow the same daily routine, but won't be going out to the minefields anymore, said Lily Shallom, an APOPO spokeswoman.
He'll be fed the same food, have playtime every day and get regular exercise and health checks. He eats mostly fresh fruit and vegetables, plus small sun-dried fish for protein and pellets for vitamins and fibre. For 20-30 minutes a day he is released into a larger cage with play equipment such as a sandbox and a running wheel.

APOPO also works with programs in Angola, Zimbabwe and Mozambique to clear millions of mines left behind from wars.
More than 60 million people in 59 countries continue to be threatened by landmines and unexploded ordnance. In 2018, landmines and other remnants of war killed or injured 6897 people, the group said.
civilian: a person not in the defence or police forces
ordnance: weapons, including explosives such as landmines and bombs
civil war: war within a country, rather than with another country
repetitive: happens again and again

1. Retirement Life for a Hero
Magawa the award-winning rat has reached retirement age for the life of a rat. He's sniffed out 71 landmines and cleared hundreds of thousands of square metres of land. How do you think Magawa should be rewarded for his tireless and dangerous work and how should he live out the rest of his rat years?
Magawa's Retirement Rewards:
Where/How should Magawa live now?
Curriculum Links: English, Critical and Creative thinking
Work with a partner and try to come up with some other ways to detect and clear landmines before they kill and injure more people. Using rats is a great idea because they are light enough not to set the landmines off, but is there a quicker, more effective way?
Curriculum Links: English, Personal and social, Critical and Creative thinking
Letter of Service
Write a letter to Magawa to thank him for his many years of service and wish him all the best in retirement. Try and include facts about Magawa's work, so that he feels like you are not just writing a letter to any rat.
Read your letter out loud to make sure it makes sense. Check it has lots of emotion so that Magawa feels appreciated.

Europe|Turkey and Israel Feel the Effect as Syria's Civil War Fuels Tensions at Borders
Turkey and Israel Feel the Effect as Syria's Civil War Fuels Tensions at Borders
By Sebnem Arsu and Rick Gladstone
ISTANBUL — Border tensions caused by Syria's civil war worsened on Thursday, as Turkey threatened to prosecute or deport 130 refugees implicated in a violent protest, and Israel reported rising numbers of injured Syrians seeking medical help on the Israeli side of their disputed boundary.
The tensions, which underscored how the Syrian conflict is threatening the region's stability, came as international diplomacy aimed at ending the conflict faced new complications. Russia, a major supporter of the Syrian government, suggested that the special Syria envoy of the Arab League and United Nations had lost credibility because the Arab League had sided with the insurgency.
Turkey, like Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, has accepted tens of thousands of Syrian refugees since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began two years ago. The Turks threatened for the first time to deport a group of refugees after a riot at one of Turkey's 17 refugee camps on Wednesday, a threat that alarmed the United Nations refugee agency, which said such a move would violate international law.
Melissa Fleming, a spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva, said in an interview that a forced return would breach legal protections that prohibit host countries from forcing refugees out.
Turkey changed its stance on Thursday, saying that the refugees would not be deported but had agreed to leave voluntarily after having been told that they would face prosecution if they stayed.
The Foreign Ministry, in a statement, said the group of refugees "wanted to use the right to voluntary return, and left for Syria."
A local government official in Turkey confirmed this Thursday afternoon, saying, "A deportation is out of question, and we cannot deport them when we do not have the right to do so according to the terms of temporary protected status."
The 130 Syrians had been identified as residents of the Suleiman Shah camp, in the township of Akcakale in Sanliurfa Province, who had been involved in a riot on Wednesday that damaged the camp's facilities, including a medical center.
The circumstances behind the riot are in dispute, but it may have started after a fire in a tent that killed a 7-year-old girl and injured her two sisters.
Television images showed dozens of people hurling stones inside and outside the camp, cars with broken windows and damaged laptops inside a press vehicle.
Camp security officers, unable to contain the violence, called in the military police, and images on television showed armored military vehicles moving into the camp. The military police tear-gassed and hosed down the protesters.
The Turkish government said that the protest broke out when a crowd gathered outside the camp demanding entry. With 35,000 refugees, the camp is full, another local government official said, denying that the protest was linked to the fire, which he attributed to faulty electrical wiring.
"It was clearly an act of provocation, which started at the gate, outside the camp, far from where the fire broke out," the official said.
Unlike Syria's other neighbors, Israel — which remains in a technical state of war with Syria — has not accepted any Syrian refugees. But it has become increasingly concerned as fighting between Syrian insurgents and loyalists has crept close to the decade-old cease-fire line in the Golan Heights. An Israeli military official said Thursday that it had bolstered medical teams on the frontier because of wounded Syrians seeking aid.
The latest such episode occurred on Wednesday, when several Syrians arrived at the demarcation fence. Israeli Army medical crews attended to most of them on location and returned them to Syria, but two who had suffered severe head wounds were taken to a hospital in Nahariya, in northern Israel.
One of them died soon after, and the military transferred his body back to Syria early Thursday with help from United Nations peacekeepers in the area, according to Haggai Einav, a spokesman for the Western Galilee Hospital in Nahariya. The second remained in serious but stable condition on Thursday after having three operations, Mr. Einav added.
At the United Nations, Vitaly I. Churkin, the Russian ambassador, enlarged on remarks Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov had made in Moscow, saying that the Arab League was playing a "destructive" role in international attempts to peacefully resolve the Syrian conflict because it had granted Syria's vacant seat to the main opposition coalition, which seeks to topple Mr. Assad by force.
Mr. Lavrov told reporters in Moscow that the Arab League's action had raised serious questions about the role ofLakhdar Brahimi, the special Syria envoy who represents both the Arab League and United Nations. Mr. Churkin said Mr. Brahimi should distance himself from the Arab League.
A spokesman for Mr. Brahimi said he had no immediate comment. Mr. Brahimi was appointed the joint envoy last August.
"The Arab League has basically taken itself out of the joint effort," Mr. Churkin said at a news conference, criticizing opposition supporters as concentrating on a military solution while merely "paying lip service" to a political one.
"Now, instead of dialogue, we have a group of people whose legitimacy has been established from outside the country," Mr. Churkin said. "Their legitimacy does not have any ground in Syria, no elections."
Mr. Churkin dismissed the opposition group, the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, as "an international traveling thing" and described its work as "chaotic," with a constant parade of new leaders.
He said Russia still maintained hope for a political settlement, although critics maintain that it has done little to actually push Mr. Assad in that direction.
Mr. Churkin also said the Syrian opposition's aspiration to take Syria's seat at the United Nations would probably fail.
"We'll oppose it very strongly," he said. "The U.N. is an intergovernmental organization. You simply do not seat opposition groups who have not gone through the process of legitimization."

A look at the timeline of the threats and extortion surrounding Brian Kil and Plainfield.
Early morning Thursday, December 17, 2015: A Facebook page titled "Brian Kil" makes threats against Plainfield High School, saying he wants to "leave a trail of death and fire". He claimed to have three pipe bombs, two handguns and a semi automatic rifle. He posted multiple images of a young girl in various states of undress, saying he was targeting her, but would kill others, too, including police.
Thursday, December 17, 2015 - Plainfield cancels all classes at its schools and starts Christmas break early as the threats continue. Brian Kil taunts police by tagging their accounts from his Facebook page. He said he would turn himself in if he received a public "apology" from the young female he originally posted about.
Friday, December 18, 2015 - Brian Kil posts "they can't close school every day" in a new threat. He also tagged the FBI's Facebook page and said they "cannot protect you forever."
The same person makes threats against The Shops at Perry Crossing at 9 p.m. Police responded and evacuated the mall, clearing it of any danger at 1 a.m.
Plainfield High School also postpones its planned boy's basketball home game.
Sunday, December 20, 2015 - More threats are made against Plainfield retail shops by the same Brian Kil account, saying there would be "casualties," claiming to be armed with handguns, a knife and bombs. The post continued to target a young girl as the reason for his desire to kill and to taunt authorities for not being able to catch him. Plainfield police said at 6 p.m. they were made aware of new threats issued by the same person who had been making threats for four days on Facebook.
Tuesday, January 19, 2016 - Plainfield residents meet to discuss the Brian Kil threats with police. The meeting is empassioned, but derailed when a man was caught bringing a gun into the meeting. He said he brought it so he could feel "safe".
May 21, 2016 - Brian Kil communicates with the female victim he was extorting at the center of his threats to Plainfield, saying he would released videos of her on Facebook.

DECC policies are cushioning rising energy bills, says Davey
New analysis published today highlights the extent to which the government's energy and climate change policies are tempering the impact on household energy bills of global gas prices and network costs, says DECC.
According to today's research, householders are paying on average £64 or 5 percent less for their gas and electricity bills as a result of energy and climate change policies compared to if no policies had existed, and in 2020 the net saving against the do-nothing scenario will reach £166 or 11 percent.
Publishing 'Estimated impacts of energy and climate change policies on energy prices and bills', ministers have pledged to do even more to help people and businesses struggling with high energy bills caused by long-term rising gas prices.
Energy secretary, Ed Davey, said: "Global gas price hikes are squeezing households. They are beyond any Government's control and, by all serious predictions, are likely to continue rising.
"We are doing all we can to offset these global energy price rises, and while we have more to do, this new study shows our policies are putting a cushion between global prices and the bills we all pay.
"The analysis shows that our strategy of shifting to alternatives like renewables, and of being smarter with how we use energy, is helping those that need it most save money on their bills.
"The poorest who take advantage of the help that is available through the initiatives we have on offer stand to make the highest savings, from the Warm Home Discount to our new regulation on energy firms to force them to improve the energy efficiency of fuel poor households.
"The analysis underlines the importance of pressing ahead with the range of steps we're taking to decarbonise and insulate our economy from excessive reliance on imported gas.
"The picture for businesses is less positive, which is why our new proposals to exempt and compensate the most energy intensive industries from certain policy impacts is crucial. Nothing would be gained from forcing industry, jobs and emissions abroad.
"The move to a low-carbon power sector is bringing thousands of jobs to every corner of the country today, and will continue to do so. Last year we saw 20,000 new jobs in the renewables sector alone. This is driving growth through our supply chains and for businesses across the UK.
"This analysis is an important exercise in transparency. It's based on the most comprehensive evidence available. I hope it will lead to far a more informed debate about the benefits of our energy and climate change strategy."
REA chief executive, Gaynor Hartnell, added: "The cost of energy may be rising but households and businesses can take positive steps to limit bill increases with efficiency measures and investment in on-site renewables.
"Predicting future fossil fuel costs in a volatile international market is fraught with uncertainties. Investment in energy infrastructure is essential, as is the switch to renewable energy. Government intervention on both new generation and demand reduction should save households money overall. That's got to be good news for the UK's future security and prosperity."
RenewableUK's chief executive, Maria McCaffery, said: "These official figures prove that when gas prices shoot up, the fuel bills that land on the doormats of over 26 million UK households go through the roof. During this cold weather, today's report offers a very timely reminder of the high price we're all having to pay for our dependence on eye-wateringly expensive fossil fuels.
"The figures are quite clear for all to see – if we switch to more renewables to generate electricity, the cost is much lower. We can control that cost rather than leaving ourselves exposed to the wild fluctuations of international fossil fuel prices. Home-grown renewables such as wind gives us a very important asset: energy security at a price we can predict.
"Just last week the official regulator Ofgem highlighted how low the cost of wind energy is – less than 3p per household per day. Today's new figures show that the measures being taken by the Department of Energy and Climate Change to encourage investment in renewables, and to use energy more efficiently, are already keeping household bills 5 per cent lower than they would have been without those policies. In 2020, the savings will be even greater, with bills 11% lower as a result of green measures. So whenever we invest in building a low-carbon economy, using technologies such as wind, wave and tidal energy, the dividends we reap are enormous, in economic as well as environmental terms."

CATHOLICS JOIN SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE REMEMBER PROJECT BLUE BEAM
Know this that the Catholic Jesuit/Freemasons worship an Alien god and they all bow down to the Pope as if he is god and they worship him as Death and Life. 1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. Satan came in his own name and him they honour ! Jesus is Life and Satan is Death making him the opposite god or Anti Christ as Anti means Opposite. Project Blue Beam the false holographic second coming to bring the Antichrist to Power and it will certainly be the Pope. Look at the timing of this article = Just prior to the Nuclear destruction of Damascus which will bring on the Alien Antichrist god to power in Jerusalem through global strong delusion or Mind control. They also believe he is the Holy Spirit of God but a Spirit has no flesh and bones as he is a spirit. Luke 24-39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
The Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences is holding its first ever conference on alien life, the discovery of which would have profound implications for the Catholic Church.
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences is holding a conference on astrobiology, the study of life beyond Earth, with scientists and religious leaders gathering in Rome this week.
For centuries, theologians have argued over what the existence of life elsewhere in the universe would mean for the Church: at least since Giordano Bruno, an Italian monk, was put to death by the Inquisition in 1600 for claiming that other worlds exist.
Among other things, extremely alien-looking aliens would be hard to fit with the idea that God "made man in his own image".
Furthermore, Jesus Christ's role as saviour would be confused: would other worlds have their own, tentacled Christ-figures, or would Earth's Christ be universal?
However, just as the Church eventually made accommodations after Copernicus and Galileo showed that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, and when it belatedly accepted the truth of Darwin's theory of evolution, Catholic leaders say that alien life can be aligned with the Bible's teachings.
Father Jose Funes, a Jesuit astronomer at the Vatican Observatory and one of the organisers of the conference, said: "As a multiplicity of creatures exists on Earth, so there could be other beings, also intelligent, created by God.
"This does not conflict with our faith, because we cannot put limits on the creative freedom of God."
Not everyone agrees. Paul Davies, a theoretical physicist and author of The Goldilocks Enigma, told The Washington Post that the threat to Christianity is "being downplayed" by Church leaders. He said: "I think the discovery of a second genesis would be of enormous spiritual significance.
"The real threat would come from the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence, because if there are beings elsewhere in the universe, then Christians, they're in this horrible bind.
"They believe that God became incarnate in the form of Jesus Christ in order to save humankind, not dolphins or chimpanzees or little green men on other planets."
The Academy conference will include presentations from scientists – by no means all of them Christians – on the discovery of planets outside our solar system, the geological record of early life on Earth, how life might have started on Earth, and whether "alien" life of a different biochemistry to our own might exist here without our knowing, among many other things.

ASSE Comments on '06 Workplace Fatalities
Tue August 21, 2007 - National Edition
The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) President Michael W. Thompson applauded the apparent drop in workplace fatalities as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for 2006.
"Our members everyday contribute to creating, through prevention efforts, a workplace that is injury and illness free. Business and labor must continue to work together with government to reach the ultimate goal of zero fatalities," Thompson said. "The BLS report noted that 5,703 people lost their lives on-the-job in 2006. The report indicated the number one activity in the workplace that led to fatalities was again transportation incidents.
"Globally our members work everyday in a prevention mode to achieve the goal that everyone goes to and returns home from work safely every day," Thompson said. "They work in every industry and throughout the world. And every day we are looking for and implementing new and innovative ideas aimed at preventing injuries and illnesses in the workplace."
The Department of Labor's BLS National census of Fatal Occupational Injuries for 2006 shows 5,703 people died from on-the-job injuries in 2006 compared with 5,734 in 2005.
Fatal highway incidents remained the number one cause of on-the-job deaths claiming 1,329 lives, accounting for nearly one out of four fatal work injuries. Falls ranked second, claiming 809 lives, with being struck by objects as the third cause of on-the-job fatal injuries with 583 fatalities.
Workplace homicides ranked fourth claiming the lives of 516 workers, with more than 80 percent of those workers being shot.
Another key finding of the BLS report was the sharp increase in aircraft-related fatalities in 2006, after declining in 2005. In 2006 there were 44 multiple-fatality aircraft incidents claiming 137 workers.
The report revealed that fatalities know no gender or age boundary. Fatal workplace injuries involving females increased by five percent in 2006. The number of fatal work injuries among those 25 and younger decreased while fatal work injuries among workers 55 and older increased slightly, likely attributable to the growing number of older workers in the workforce.
"We applaud those states that continue to see a drop in worker accidents and fatalities, such as Alabama, Iowa, New Hampshire, New Jersey, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Wyoming and the District of Columbia which recorded declines of 20 percent or more," Thompson added.
In all, 27 states reported higher fatality numbers in 2006, while 23 states and Washington, D.C., recorded lower totals. Texas had the highest number of worker fatalities with 486 followed by California with 448 and Florida with 355. The 12 states recording an increase in fatalities of 20 percent or more were Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia.

Kansas State University cybersecurity professors Scott DeLoach and Xinming "Simon" Ou are conducting groundbreaking research into the development of computer networks that could defend themselves against attacks.
The researchers are looking into designs in which the networks, after detecting an intrusion attempt, could autonomously respond by altering aspects of the system's configurations.
DeLoach and Ou have been awarded over one-million dollars in grants from the Air Force to conduct the five year study into the development of an adaptive "moving-target defense" defense system to protect critical networks from attacks.
"As the study progresses the computer scientists will develop a set of analytical models to determine the effectiveness of a moving-target defense system. They will also create a proof-of-concept system as a way to experiment with the idea in a concrete setting," a Kansas State University press release states.
The research is aimed at determining if the development of adaptive defense systems is not only feasible, but also cost-effective from a resource allocation perspective.
"It's important to investigate any scientific evidence that shows that this approach does work so it can be fully researched and developed," DeLoach said.
The concept of a "moving-target defense" was first proposed over a decade ago, and other researchers have toyed with the idea, but this is the first instance where a sizeable level of funding has been committed to investigating the notion.
"The idea behind moving-target defense in the context of computer networks is to create a computer network that is no longer static in its configuration. Instead, as a way to thwart cyber attackers, the network automatically and periodically randomizes its configuration through various methods -- such as changing the addresses of software applications on the network; switching between instances of the applications; and changing the location of critical system data," the release explained.
To an attacker, an adaptive defense response would thwart an intrusion attempt by randomly changing network settings, but key to the concept is the ability of the network to simultaneously operate normally for an authenticated user.
The researchers believe the development of such a defense mechanism would turn the tables to a significant degree on attackers who currently have the upper hand by needing only to identify one exploitable vulnerability to wreak havoc on a system.
"This is a game-changing idea in cybersecurity. People feel that we are currently losing against online attackers. In order to fundamentally change the cybersecurity landscape and reduce that high risk we need some big, fundamental changes to the way computers and networks are constructed and organized," Ou said.

A.I. should be protected by human rights ?
With huge leaps taking place in the world of artificial intelligence, right now, experts have started asking questions about the new forms of protection we might need against the formidable smarts and potential dangers of computers and robots of the near future.
But do robots need protection from us too? As the 'minds' of machines evolve ever closer to something that's hard to tell apart from human intelligence, new generations of technology may need to be afforded the kinds of moral and legal protections we usually think of as 'human' rights, says mathematician Marcus du Sautoy from the University of Oxford in the UK.
Du Sautoy thinks that once the sophistication of computer thinking reaches a level basically akin to human consciousness, it's our duty to look after the welfare of machines, much as we do that of people.
Du Sautoy thinks the conversation about AI rights is now necessary due to recent advancements made in fields such as neuroscience. The mathematician, who appeared at the literature festival to promote his new book, What We Cannot Know, says new techniques have given us a clearer understanding than ever before of the nature of mental processes such as thought and consciousness – meaning they're no longer reserved solely for philosophers.
That greater insight into what consciousness is means we should respect it in all its forms, du Sautoy argues, regardless of whether its basis for being is organic or synthetic.
While the notion of a machine being protected by human rights sounds like something out of science fiction, it's actually a fast-approaching possibility that scientists have speculated about for decades. The big question remains, when will computer systems become so advanced that their artificial consciousness ought to be recognised and respected?
Various commentators put the timeframe from 2020 through to some time in the next 50 years, although the rapid pace with which AI is progressing – be that playing games, learning to communicate, or operating among us undetected – means that nobody really knows for sure.
Du Sautoy can't say when the time will come either – just that when it does, like the title of his book suggests, it will present another set of unsolvable mysteries.

lenten journal: it's complicated
I woke up this morning thinking about music not only because of my post yesterday but because I had tickets
tonight to see Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle. Front row seats, thanks to my friend, Jay. So Ginger and I walked in the cool of this very first spring evening the half mile from our front door to our front row seats and shared an amazing evening of music and stories.
As I was fixing breakfast this morning I heard a music story on NPR's Morning Edition about a band out of Birmingham, Alabama called St. Paul and the Broken Bones. They are a knockout R&B band — I mean serious soul — and they don't look like an R&B band. Here's the way the bass player described the lead singer:
Paul [Janeway], according to all the reviews and stuff that are written of the band, he looks like yourhigh school history teacher, or he looks like Drew Carey. Bottom line is that we're a bunch of kind of nerdy-looking white guys, and when this sort of earth-shaking soul roar comes out of his mouth for the first time, you can always hear the air being sucked out of the room.
Paul grew up in a very strict, conservative Christian household and, the interviewer went on to say, "religion is still part of Janeway's life — but the relationship remains complicated." I smiled when she said that. I liked that she said that. I thought, "What an honest expression of faith. No wonder the guy sings with soul."
I bought Steve Earle's first record, Guitar Town, the week it came out. In fact, I think I've bought most of his
records on that same schedule. He is a poster child from redemption and hope, having almost killed himself with heroin and other drugs, served time for those very drugs, and then gotten clean and stayed that way for almost twenty years and becoming an articulate and vibrant protest singer and activist. And he's complicated. Tonight, he and Shawn sang one of the songs from that first record called "Fearless Heart." The chorus says,
I got me a fearless heart
strong enough to get you through the scary part
it's been broken many times before
a fearless heart just comes back for more
What was written as a song of bravado from a young man was sung tonight by someone with a lot of miles on him who understands what broken bones and broken hearts are all about. Then Shawn sang,
I can see that I'm getting somewhere
where I have to go is so deep
I was angry back then and you
know I still am
I have lost too much sleep
but I'm gonna find it
Like she says, it's complicated. And wonderful. And excruciating. And joyful. The power of a great song is that it names our feelings, our experiences. It doesn't explain them, or solve them, or even heal them, for that matter, but it names them.
I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche . . .
Yes. I understand. I'm grateful tonight for those who write and sing and name what is complicated about life and faith and invite us to join in on the harmonies.
And, for those of you keeping score at home, here is the set list.
Wake Up, Little Suzy — Duet
The Devil's Right Hand — Steve
Trouble — Shawn
Goodbye — Steve
Matter of Minutes — Shawn

Always be sure to use products that claim to be safe for pipes. Certain compounds obliterate the microorganisms that plumbing pipes need to work right, and others are even dangerous to people. A water heater that has no tank is a good choice for those that are conservation-minded. Tankless water heaters do not store water, they heat it when you need it! By not wasting resources heating water that no one is using, it is possible to save money. There are many amateur plumbers, so if you consider yourself a professional plumber, think about getting an apprentice. An apprentice can take a lot of pressure off, and help your business earn more money. When working outside, it is important that you take regular breaks to give yourself some relief from the sun. Wrapped up in complicated work, you forget the danger of sun exposure over a long period of time. Certain things like chicken skin, carrots, pumpkin and banana are considered bad on the blade, because they have the potential of getting caught and clogging the drain. Separate out these problem foods first, and throw them in a garbage can before dumping waste into the garbage disposal. Copper pipes are the best to expand and allow hot water to flow through them. More information about Westfield Recommended Plumbing.
A contractor's license must be in good standing and current for you to even consider him. When installing a brand new water heater, if you see a pipe from the drainage pipe, reconnect it. This pipe, the recirculation pipe, helps keep your water heated without wasting water. Bring out your inner conservationist by upgrading your hot water heater to a tank-less hot water heater. Unlike conventional water heaters, they store no water, and instead heat the water only as needed. This will save you a significant amount of money that would have been wasted heating up water that you aren't using.

Fixtures, such as toilets and sinks, may also have individual shut-off valves.
A water softener can filter out unnecessary minerals, and leave you with clean, usable water.
The secret to low or even no repair bills from plumbing issues is prevention.


Che Fu (born Che Ness) is a Māori-Niuean hip hop, R&B, and reggae vocalist from Aotearoa (New Zealand). He is usually backed by his band, The Krates, which feature his father Tigilau Ness of Unity Pacific.
He started his career with the seminal NZ band Supergroove. Shortly after he broke from the band in 1996, he released his first single 'Chains' a duet with DLT that went straight to #1 on the NZ Singles charts, and stayed there for 5 consecutive weeks. It went on to reach Platinum and was the landmark single that brought NZ Hip Hop to mass attention.
Che Fu has released three solo albums and one greatest hits compilation: 2b S.PACiFiC, Navigator, and Beneath The Radar and Hi-Score: The Best of Che-Fu.
Navigator is a combination of 13 tracks developed musically and lyrically by Che Fu. His love of reggae, funk, soul, rap and hip hop were his inspiration. "Fade Away" and "Random" were the first two singles released off the album, and both did well in the New Zealand charts. His album also sees him collaborate with D.J P-Money and The Villajah M.Cs.


Part of the Cisco Small Business Pro Series, the SIP-based Cisco SPA504G 4-Line IP Phone (Figure 1) has been tested to ensure comprehensive interoperability with equipment from voice over IP (VoIP) infrastructure leaders, enabling service providers to quickly roll out competitive, feature-rich services to their customers.
The Cisco SPA 504G 4-line IP Phone provides small businesses a rich user experience with a monochrome backlit display for ease of use, aesthetics, and on-screen applications; HD voice for unsurpassed voice clarity; enhanced full duplex speaker phone for clear conversations across the desk; and an integrated switch port to connect your computer.
Cisco offers small business customers an extensive portfolio of phones. Being the global leader in voice over IP and Unified Communications, Cisco recognizes that you need options to make sure you have the right phone for the right workspace, employee, or job. In certain situations aesthetics are important, whereas in other situations durability, size, the number of buttons, or features are more important. No matter what your business needs are, the Cisco SPA 500 Series IP Phones have a product that will meet those needs while making your employees' jobs easier.
Part of the Cisco Small Business Pro Family, the Cisco SPA 500 Series IP Phones are specifically designed for small businesses and are supported on all of the Cisco small business phone systems. The Cisco SPA 500 Series is a portfolio of affordably priced, reliable, stylish, easy-to-use phones for small businesses that need a smaller-size, Wi-Fi connected desk top phone, and Bluetooth.
You will receive increased voice clarity when pairing the Cisco SPA 504G with the Cisco Smart Business Communications System or an HD voice-compatible hosted phone service. With HD voice, the audible range of produced sounds is significantly greater than traditional phones. The Cisco SPA 504G provides an HD-capable speaker phone and handset for accurate delivery of voice sound that helps reduce fatigue on long calls and eases the experience for those frequently on the phone during the day. HD voice can also help make conference calls more productive by enabling participants to clearly hear and understand others on the call.
The SPA 504G was designed to be used and operated with minimal end-user training. The phone has several lighted indicators that let users know when there is a message waiting for them, an extension is in use, a coworker is on the phone, or if they are on headset, speakerphone, or mute.
Below the backlight monochrome screen are four buttons that control digitally displayed soft keys. To reduce confusion and the need for additional buttons on the phone, these keys offer access to features that change based on the state of the phone: if you're on a call, off a call, on hold, or dialing, for example. There are also four backlit buttons that can be used for speed dials, shared lines, or other functions. Dedicated buttons for voicemail, hold, and phone settings provide easy access to common features.
The SPA 504G provides you with two switch ports that allow you to connect both your phone and computer to your network using a single Ethernet cable. When you plug your SPA 504G into any data jack on the network, the phone will maintain its profile, speed dials, and user settings. This eliminates the need for a technician if you need to shuffle equipment around. And by having the phone and the computer on the same cable, you will reduce your cost to add new users by minimizing the need for multiple cable drops.
