CM: Have you always lived here?
JR: I grew up in Charleston, and then I moved out West for a little while, living in Idaho, Montana, and California. When I ran out of money, I'd come back here to work in restaurants and bars, save up cash, and then leave for the mountains again. I moved back to Charleston permanently about 10 years ago.
CM: So how did you get into beverages?
JR: I covered my costs in college by working in restaurants, and while doing so, I found myself behind the bar often. Drink making is fun—you can get creative with infusions and ingredients, and you get to talk to people. I helped open The Belmont on King Street in 2010. A little later, I met my future partners, Josh Walker and Duolan Li, who had this cool vision for Xiao Bao Biscuit (XBB). They wanted me to come on to run the bev program.
CM: What was your process in making that menu?
JR: At XBB, it was very literal. I used the same ingredients that were in the food items on our menu. The "Sichuan Sting," for example, has Sichuan peppercorn-infused gin and fresh lemon, and it acts like a preview of the spice found in our Sichuan-style pork and chicken dishes. Other drinks feature chili peppers, citrus, and ginger, all of which we use regularly in our food there.
CM: Did you approach Tu's beverage program differently?
JR: At Tu, I wanted to create cocktails that honored each "mother spirit" more traditionally. My goal is for diners to truly understand what the base spirits are. A rye cocktail should taste like rye; all of the other, subordinate components should highlight that base, not mask it.
CM: How would you describe the food at Tu?
JR: The whole Earth influences the menu at Tu. There's a Middle Eastern dish with spiced lamb and labneh [cheese made from Greek yogurt] as well as a Southern chicken-fried steak. We definitely broke some rules—we top our crudo with "cheese ice," or frozen shards of Manchego cheese. It's really weird, but tastes amazing; it sort of melts in your mouth. Nobody said you couldn't put cheese on crudo.
CM: What's a can't-miss cocktail on your menu?
JR: So far, our most popular has been the "Harlem Rose"—it's an aged mezcal-based drink with rose liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and a Plantation pineapple rum floater.
CM: Tell us about your latest drink experiment.
JR: Dirty martinis have always been my least favorite cocktail to make, because I don't like bar olives—they gross me out. The salty-savory drink category, however, is needed in any beverage program, so we made our own brine mix with rye berries and barley. Our "Desolation Avenue" is basically a grain-based dirty martini without the olives.
CM: What's the biggest mistake a bartender can make?
JR: Having his or her phone out. Being present is everything, because we hold court in that third space, where people aren't at home or work. Bartenders are responsible for facilitating interactions—talking one-on-one to people, introducing them to each other. If my staff members aren't on their game, I'll tell them to take the day off. You have to be engaged.

Q: Move constructor used in aggregation initialization I wonder if the following codes will obtain better performance
Obj obj;
obj.a = std::move(...);
...

compared to
Obj obj = {std::move(...), ...};

can compilers be able to do optimization on the codes above?
and which way do you prefer?

A: I tried on http://godbolt.org/ a simple implementation of your code and found that in both cases the compiler was able to do optimization.
I'd prefer the first one if there is no performance difference, simply because initialization lists are overloaded too much. For instance let Obj be a class that has a constructor that takes two integers as arguments. You know std::vector< int > also has a constructor that takes two integers as arguments. But when you give an initialization list {1, 3} to a vector< int >, the two-integer-argument constructor is NOT called! unlike in the Obj case.

School prayer Summary
Prayers and Bible readings sanctioned by school officials were efforts to promote religious beliefs and values in students in public educational institutions.
In 1962 the Supreme Court issued one of its most controversial decisions in Engel v. Vitale[case]Engel v. Vitale[Engel v. Vitale]. At issue was a nondenominational prayer composed by the regents of the state of New York that was to be recited in public school classrooms by teachers on a voluntary basis. It read: "Almighty God we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country." Justice Hugo L. Black, writing the opinion for the Court, noted that the apparatus of the public school system was employed in the promotion of religion and thus resulted in a violation of the establishment clause. A year later, the Court struck down a state-mandated practice of reading passages from the Bible without commentary in Abington School District v. Schempp[case]Abington School District v. Schempp[Abington School District v. Schempp]. In his opinion, Justice Tom C. Clark applied the same "strict separation" analysis.Church and state, separation of
After the Supreme Court banned school prayer, teachers found other ways to start the school day.
(Library of Congress)
In its decision in Lemon v. Kurtzman[case]Lemon v. Kurtzman[Lemon v. Kurtzman] (1971), the Court developed the establishment clause test that remains in use and is applied in church-state cases. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger wrote, "First, the statute must have a secular legislative purpose; second, its principal or primary effect must be one that neither advances nor inhibits religion; finally, the statute must not foster 'an excessive government entanglement with religion.'" The first element of this three-prong test was invoked in Wallace v. Jaffree[case]Wallace v. Jaffree[Wallace v. Jaffree] (1985) when the Court ruled unconstitutional an Alabama law requiring a daily moment of silence for prayer or meditation in public schools. The Lemon test was reaffirmed in Lee v. Weisman[case]Lee v. Weisman[Lee v. Weisman] (1992), when the Court struck down Providence, Rhode Island, public school principals' use of members of the clergy to offer invocation and benediction prayers as part of the formal graduation ceremonies for middle and high schools.
In its efforts to define and apply the establishment clause, the Court developed several perspectives on how best to ensure that government refrain from endorsing a particular faith while at the same time protecting the religious freedom of liberty and conscience. The result often was a confusing line of precedents that offered no distinct or enduring first principles that work in all situations. Despite continuing and heavy criticism levied against the Court, however, its separationist stance on government-supported religion in public schools has remained firm.

Cinema é o quinto álbum da banda Cachorro Grande. Foi lançado em 15 de junho de 2009, pela gravadora Deckdisc. Foi produzido por Rafael Ramos. A gravação ocorreu durante vinte dias em Porto Alegre; o sistema adotado foi o rolo analógico de duas polegadas, com vários equipamentos vintage foram alugados de colecionadores. O álbum foi lançado oficialmente em 15 de junho de 2009, no MySpace da banda.

A capa do disco foi uma montagem, já que havia a impossibilidade de se fotografar em frente a cinemas tradicionais. A foto é de Cisco Vasques.

Segundo avaliação da Folha de S. Paulo, o álbum é "regular". A revista Noize classificou o álbum com quatro estrelas de um máximo de cinco. O álbum ainda foi indicado ao Grammy Latino de 2009, na categoria "Melhor álbum de rock brasileiro".

O nome
O nome do álbum se deve à inspiração em filmes para a composição de algumas canções, como "Amanhã" (inspirada por "Mar Adentro") e "Pessoas Vazias" (inspiração em Peter Sellers). Além disso, os integrantes da banda se dizem fãs do cinema nacional.

Gravação
A gravação ocorreu durante vinte dias no estúdio da Acit em Porto Alegre. O sistema adotado foi o rolo analógico de duas polegadas, ideal para o rock, segundo Marcelo Gross. Vários equipamentos vintage foram alugados de colecionadores para a gravação. As sessões iam seguidamente até a madrugada.

Singles
O primeiro single do álbum, Dance Agora, foi lançado em maio de 2009. e o segundo single, "Por Onde Vou" foi lançado em 2010.

Explicação segundo integrantes

Segundo Marcelo Gross, "foi um resgate de uma coisa que a gente (a banda) ouvia na adolescência e não tinha deixado prevalecer no nosso som. Rock dos anos 70, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin e o space rock. Um som mais atmosférico". Ele completou dizendo que "Estávamos (a banda) ouvindo muito space rock. Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, aquelas coisas com teclados espaciais, guitarras cheias de eco". "Nosso disco ficou com um clima mais anos 70, diferente dos quatro anteriores, que eram mais anos 60", relatou também.

O disco conta com sons "não convencionais", como cantos de gaivotas, ventos uivando e barulho de motocicleta. Instrumentos como bandolins e cítaras. Além disso, o álbum conta com a primeira música assinada pelos cinco membros da banda, A Hora do Brasil.

Mayors in some of the nation's largest cities, including NY and Chicago, have been defiant in the face of promises by the Trump administration to withhold funding if local law enforcement refuses to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
On July 7, 2016 the Obama Department of Justice released updated guidelines that disqualify Sanctuary Cities from receiving DOJ grant money if they are found to be in violation of 8 USC § 1373. The department also noted that the Big Apple is among the many American cities that is "crumbling under the weight of illegal immigration and violent crime", and concluded by stipulating, "someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets".
President Donald Trump famously campaigned on a promise to eject illegal immigrants and to go after the cities that were protecting them.
"What's so troubling about this press release is, here's the Department of Justice on their letterhead and this was deliberately leaked to the whole country". "Maybe we should ask them if we're soft on crime", he said.
Albuquerque, Las Cruces and Santa Fe officials said they don't believe their cities will be singled out.
Frank Shuftan, a spokesman for Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, says the county "complies with all applicable federal laws".
They include others such as California, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia. Sessions links immigration to a variety of social problems, including what he calls a rise in crime. They were highlighted in a May 2016 report by the Justice Department's inspector general that found they have policies or rules that interfere with information-sharing among local law enforcement and immigration agents.
"The federal government, it's their place to enforce the immigration laws and they do", Berry said.
The County remains mindful of its voluntarily undertaken obligations in various state and federal grant applicants to uphold all lawful federal statutes and regulations.
California, for instance, received $30.5 million from the Byrne grant, Texas got $21.4 million. We are in compliance with the law and will share the required legal opinion by the date requested.
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele said that community is hardly succumbing to violence. Access to healthcare and transit is up and we have a booming downtown.
The jurisdictions must now prove they are no longer thwarting Homeland Security's efforts to deport illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been touring different areas along the southern USA border with Mexico, vowing to dismantle violent drug cartels and transnational gangs like MS-13. They are more interested in overturning decades of civil rights advances than public safety.
The grants under threat-which amounted to roughly $24.5 million for Chicago a year ago, according to the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, -go in most part to law enforcement efforts.
So let's be very clear what's going on, because both sides have good political reason to overemphasize what's happening in order to appeal to their voting bases: These letters are not demanding that police and municipal governments assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in rounding up illegal immigrants subject to deportation orders.
"We have to finish a good season for us and then we want to do something extraordinary for me, for the players, for the club". Want to become a GMS writer? Chelsea also have some monsters and play like a monster like N'Golo Kante.
The Atlanta Hawks are averaging 104 points on 42 percent shooting and allowing 111.5 points on 45.2 percent shooting. The Nationals trailed 4-3 in the ninth when Joaquin Benoit walked Chris Heisey with one out, and Adam Eaton singled.
The Justice Department statement blasted NY for gang murders there, labeling them "the predictable outcome of the city's "soft on crime" stance".
President Trump is still considering whether to continue payments for the Obamacare subsidies, he said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week.
Regardless of what happens during the rest of this season, we have to keep improving and get better for next season as well. Tottenham have been on fire lately and that gives them an edge going into this one.
And the Democratic party doubled down on the Trump opposition by holding high-dollar fundraisers for Ossoff in Washington, DC. He even mocked Ossoff's choice of residence - outside the district.
Kids from ages 0-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 and children with special needs all had their own plots of grass to hunt for eggs. After the Easter story, there will be a huge egg hunt with candy and prize-filled eggs for age appropriate groups.
The Capitals came out of the gate in the first period, scoring twice in the first five minutes for the second straight game. The game is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on the NBC Sports Network.
After a hard loss, Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti was quoted to be saying by Reuters, "Small details have decided the game". Messi, meanwhile, has scored 94 goals in the Champions League and netted three additional strikes in the UEFA Super Cup.
Recent opinion polls suggest that Conservatives enjoy a huge lead over the opposition Labour Party. Britain joins a list of western European countries scheduled to hold elections this year.
Samsung Electronics said Friday, April 7, 2017 its first-quarter profit jumped 48 percent likely due to smartphone componen. However, despite rough recent quarters, Samsung has been able to generate strong results, owing to its components business.

A quartet that belongs in a higher realm
String quartet fatigue is bound to set in this time of the season. So far, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society has brought in 12, all quite reputable and some truly exceptional. Overlooking the Philadelphia debut of the Jerusalem Quartet on Monday would have been easy but unfortunate, since this extraordinary foursome arrived at the Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater in a zone of its own.
Individual virtues included airtight, minimum-vibrato chord blends in Haydn's String Quartet Op. 76, No. 4 ("Sunrise"), the use of rhythm to define musical gestures with an almost blinding clarity in Shostakovich's String Quartet in A-flat (Op. 118), and the cohesion brought to Smetana's willful mixture of searing introspection and cheerful folk song in the String Quartet in E minor ("From My Life"). Taste and concentration were obvious at every turn. None of that really explains why the performances were special, but the group's biography contains a few hints.
The quartet is named for its sponsors (which include the Jerusalem Music Centre), and the members' average age is 25. But the three Russians and one Israeli have been playing in the same lineup for 12 years, since they were teenagers, and spent their compulsory military service in Israel together to continue playing concerts.
Thus, the group's musical observations have the freshness and earnestness of youthful discovery - projected with great vigor and clarity and tempered with the wisdom that comes with accumulated years of experience. You just want to put a bell jar over the members to isolate them from corruption - particularly during the Haydn quartet, which is rarely revealed with so much sunshine and wit.
However, worldly insights are essential in Shostakovich's sly, secretive Op. 118, whose power often lies in what it doesn't say, with its doggerel melodies and imitation police sirens ambushing you from within the quartet's textures. Some performers investigate the piece as if looking for unmarked graves. The Jerusalem Quartet found meaning in the music's masklike poker face, constantly turning questions of subtext back to the audience, as if to say, "So what do you think?" That will keep you coming back to the music, as if any prompting were needed with performers like this.

Hospitals seeing rise in patients 'as young as 30', intensive care doctor warns
3 January 2021, 11:47 pm ·3-min read
Ambulances parked outside the ExCeL in east London which is the site of one of a number of Nightingale hospitals. (PA)
People "as young as 30" are being admitted to intensive care because of coronavirus, a senior doctor has warned
Dr Alison Pittard, the dean of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, said the NHS in London and its surrounding areas are "under immense pressure at the moment" to look after both patients and staff.
But she said that in contrast to the first wave, there had been a massive rise in younger patients being admitted to intensive care.
Asked on the BBC's Andew Marr Show whether she had noticed a change in the age profile of coronavirus patients, Dr Pittard said: "I think actually the age group is a lot lower than it was in the first wave.
A man wearing a face mask walk past the NHS public information campaign poster in London. (PA)
"I think that's probably because more people are getting COVID and it is affecting younger people. And perhaps younger people are actually realising how serious it is.
"But we are still seeing older patients, we're treating the whole age range - so that's not changed. But yes, it does affect younger people so just because you're not in the older age bracket, it doesn't mean that you're immune to this disease."
"I have heard reports of people as young as 30 to 35 being in intensive care with COVID. And obviously the younger you are the better your body is coping with the disease.
The Tier 4 COVID lockdown rules explained
"But still younger people will die from COVID because we never know how people are going to respond to it."
Dr Pittard warned that staff being "very, very tired" is becoming a major concern for the effectiveness of treatment.
In comparing the current situation with the worst days of the first wave, she added: "One of the downsides is that because we have been through it all before staff are very, very tired and that is the thing that concerns me.
Watch: Vaccination sites launched across UK for rollout of Oxford vaccine
"We can't just create staff overnight. We can get more drugs. We can get more beds and equipment but we can't just get more staff, so that is the real concern this time around."
Having dealt with the first wave of the virus, staff are now better prepared in terms of how they manage patients when they come into hospital and how their treatment in intensive care, she said.
"It is almost like we know what is coming our way so we know how to deal with it."
Dr Pittard said the NHS is trying to continue with its other services and treat patients while also dealing with the second coronavirus wave.
She continued: "One of the things I would like to tell the public is that if you have any concerns, whether it is about Covid or not, you must seek advice and help.
"We plan to continue as much normal activity as possible but of course some of the non-urgent stuff will still need to be postponed."
She said there are "logistical issues" with using the Nightingale hospitals, some of which have been used to support diagnostic services.

How To Grow An Audience with the 1000 True Fans Method
by Mike Ippersiel
https://s3.amazonaws.com/iba-blog-wp/Module+1+-+1K+True+Fans.mp3
Module 1: The 1,000 True Fan Theory Explained
Today we're talking about the 1,000 True Fan Theory and how it can be used to build a sustainable music career.
Okay, so why are we talking about the 1,000 True Fan Theory? Well, the reason why we're talking about it is that when you follow the 1,000 True Fan Theory...it allows you to focus on what matters which is getting fans.
It allows you to keep track of your progress and because you're tracking your progress...you're way more likely to be able to succeed because you're going to see what's working and be able to do more of it and less of what's not working.
And all of this adds up to enabling you to be able to have a full time music career, even if you're not world famous. Because you're going to be building a direct connection or, a "direct-to-fan" type business without having...without needing to have a record label between you and your audience.
What is the 1,000 True Fan Theory?
Well, this is a concept that was published several years ago by a man by the name of Kevin Kelly. The guiding principle behind it is that if you have 1,000 fans who are willing to pay up to $100 per year...then that would equate to a six-figure income as a musician.
So that's the premise that you don't have to be world famous, you only need 1,000 fans and you can make a six-figure income...you don't have to starve as an artist.
So how does the 1,000 True Fan Theory work?
Well first of all, you have to create kick ass music - there's no way around it. You can't just be terrible . You have to have some talent and you have to be able to promote what you do to your audience.
In terms of the internet, this means that you're going to be sending people to your website and when you're doing that it just gives you more data and more focused attention because if you send people to Facebook...there's so much noise there that it's so easy for people to click away or get distracted.
So you always want to send people to your website and you want to have a way to collect their email address.
In exchange for collecting the email address you will give them generally something for free. Whether it's a single song or an EP or a full album download, this way you're building up an email address and that allows you to build that direct connection with your fans or with your audience through email.
Because you can send an email and hit your audience instead of hoping...going on a radio station or doing interview-type things, you can actually....like they would've had to have done in the old days...you can actually contact them through email or social media.
Then, obviously once you have the email address you need to follow up with them, you need to stay in touch, you need to kind of...establish that relationship by staying in touch and by sharing cool stuff with them and involving them and showing them the 'behind the scenes' of what you do because that's going to...that's the interesting stuff. Behind the scenes is what everyone wants to see.
And then at the end of that you need to have something to offer them. Something that they can actually pay you money for so that way you can get to that $100 per fan per year so that you can keep making music.
You need to have an offer and you need to make it very easy for them to buy.
So what if you have four band members?
Does the 1,000...how does that 1,000 fans with $100 dollars work?
Well obviously, if you've done the math 100,000 divided by four band members is going to mean obviously that everyone in the band isn't making 100,000 dollars per year.
In that instance, everybody's making $25,000 per year - assuming all four members have a straight-up equal percentage in the band.
There's a lot of musicians out there that would be happy with even earning $25,000 a year...but to really make it work, for everyone to be comfortable it would just me that if one musician is capable of getting 1,000 fans then in an ideal situation you could multiply that by four when you've got three other band members with you.
So you're not doing any more work, you're just kind of sharing the work and everyone's working together to build up that fanbase.
The other question is...
What if people aren't willing to give you an email in the first place?
Is this going to work?
Obviously it won't work because this is a direct-to-fan model. Social media has been proven to not be as effective as email repeatedly.
Twitter feeds and different things like this, they tend to get lost in the shuffle because there's so much noise on those channels and Facebook has gradually decreased the amount of updates that people actually see even though they are on your fan page.
If they won't give you the email, chances are they're not a fan. So I wouldn't worry about it too much because generally, if someone's not willing to give you an email...they're less likely to want to ever pay for anything.
Now what if you don't write original music?
Well, the 1,000 True Fan Theory is not going to work at all because in theory....playing other people's music then you're not going to get any sort of on-going royalties and you're going to get a very small percentage even... You're going to have to have permission to sell the music and they're going to have to...you're going to have to pay out the lion's share of your earnings to the original song writers...
So, yeah...it's definitely not going to work without original music.
The other big objection that some people have with the 1,000 Fan Theory is:
How do you have $100 worth of stuff to sell every single year?
I mean, you basically have to start planning...if you're only selling downloads you'd have to sell 99 songs at .99 each ...I mean that's a lot of music for people to be putting out.
You obviously need to sell...the bigger your catalog of music the better.
You need to be consistently writing and putting out good music, so you can have a full album, you can have demos, you can have live albums - so that kind of helps you have some extra merchandise to offer.
Then you're going to be having stuff like t-shirts, hoodies, you can do DVDs and you can also do a membership where people pay...for instance $10/month and they have access to everything - all the music you've ever made plus anything new they get for free.
The idea is that if they're paying you that $10/month, you're going to hit your $100/year pretty easy, so that's another way of doing it.
Also, if you have....say you do house concerts... so there's performances too. You can let fans book you in their home for a couple of hundred dollars. That's going to limit most bands to their immediate kind of touring area unless you have an "uber fan" who wants to fly you across the country or something.
You're not going to have a ton of opportunities with house concerts most likely, but even if you get a few of those to happen with a few fans, that's going to help you get your general, average amount up to $100/year.
What if you do all of this stuff and it still doesn't work? You're still not making a living as a musician...?
The way I look at it is that you had a plan, you had a strategy and if you've given it your all...then you can feel good that you gave it your best shot and not have any regrets.
Whereas if you kind of just, hope that you would write a "hit song" or hope that you'd be "discovered" and get a record deal and it didn't happen and you'd kind of always be wondering "what if", what if I would have just went out there and did it myself?
That's another reason why I think this is a really good strategy is that you'll feel good at the end if you put in an honest effort...that you did everything you possibly could if it didn't work out.
Action Steps for the 1000 True Fans Method
Now that you know what the 1,000 True Fan Theory is, one of the first things that you can do is find out how many fans you would need to be able to quit your current day job.
If you make $35,000/year, that would mean you need 350 people paying you $100/year so you can quit your day job.
Find out if that's your number or if 25,000 is your number or 40,000 is your number, figure out how many fans you actually need to have per year. It's just a good number to know.
Then you can ask yourself are you doing something to create even one fan? That's what you need to be focusing on to grow your career.
The other thing I want you to think about is how you can come up with $100 worth of stuff to sell your audience that they would happily pay for.
It's got to have value, it's got to help them out...it's got to be something that they'll enjoy and it's got to be easy for them to give you money.
You don't want to make it hard for them, so start thing about that and like I said, you've got music, you've got merchandise, you've got live music, you've got DVDs....start looking into what you can offer.
Lastly, I want you to think about where your fans are and what other music do they listen to? How can you get them to visit your website?
What can you give them in exchange for getting their email address?
Take those action steps and you'll be well on your way to being able to grow your audience and get a couple of new fans hopefully...every week or, a lot more than that and you'll be on your way to building a music career instead of waiting around for...to be discovered and to be worthy of a career.

Q: Sttp Client 3 with ZLayer type mismatch I use ZLayer and Sttp Client(async to create simple http requester application but I found type mismatch error that I couldn't solve it.
Can anyone tell me why I'm getting the type mismatch error?
I use these versions of scala & libraries.
java -> 8.282.08.1-amzn
scala -> s.13.5
dev.zio -> 1.0.7
com.softwaremill.sttp.client3 -> 3.3.0
type mismatch;
 found   : zio.ZLayer[sttp.client3.asynchttpclient.zio.SttpClient,Nothing,ZlayerAndSttp.HttpBin]
    (which expands to)  zio.ZLayer[zio.Has[sttp.client3.SttpBackend[zio.Task,sttp.capabilities.zio.ZioStreams with sttp.capabilities.WebSockets]],Nothing,zio.Has[ZlayerAndSttp.HttpBin.Service]]
 required: zio.ZLayer[ZlayerAndSttp.HttpBin,?,?]
    (which expands to)  zio.ZLayer[zio.Has[ZlayerAndSttp.HttpBin.Service],?,?]
    program.provideCustomLayer((AsyncHttpClientZioBackend.layer() >>> HttpBin.live) >>> HttpBin.live)

Here's the whole code
import zio._
import sttp.client3._
import sttp.client3.circe._
import sttp.client3.asynchttpclient.zio._
import io.circe.generic.auto._
import zio.console.Console

object ZlayerAndSttp extends App {

  case class HttpBinResponse(origin: String, headers: Map[String, String])

  type HttpBin = Has[HttpBin.Service]
  object HttpBin {
    trait Service {
      def sendRequest: ZIO[HttpBin with SttpClient, Throwable, HttpBinResponse]
    }

    val live: ZLayer[SttpClient, Nothing, HttpBin] = ZLayer.succeed(new Service {
      override def sendRequest: ZIO[HttpBin with SttpClient, Throwable, HttpBinResponse] = {
        val request = basicRequest
          .get(uri"https://httpbin.org/get")
          .response(asJson[HttpBinResponse])
        sendR(request).map(_.body).absolve.map(res => HttpBinResponse(res.origin, res.headers))
      }
    })

    def sendRequest: ZIO[HttpBin with SttpClient, Throwable, HttpBinResponse] = ZIO.accessM(_.get.sendRequest)
  }

  val request = basicRequest
    .get(uri"https://httpbin.org/get")
    .response(asJson[HttpBinResponse])

  override def run(args: List[String]): URIO[zio.ZEnv, ExitCode] = {
    val program = for {
      result <- HttpBin.sendRequest
      _ <- console.putStrLn(s"${result.origin}, ${result.headers}")
    } yield ()
    program.provideCustomLayer((AsyncHttpClientZioBackend.layer() >>> HttpBin.live) >>> HttpBin.live) // type mismatch
      .exitCode

    // ↓these lines of code run with no errors but I can't understand why
//    val program: ZIO[Console with SttpClient, Throwable, Unit] = for {
//      response <- send(request)
//      _ <- console.putStrLn(s"${response.body.toString}")
//    } yield ()
//    program.provideCustomLayer(AsyncHttpClientZioBackend.layer()).exitCode
  }

}

A: You seem to be making your life a bit more complicated than needed.
What the end code looks like depends on what you want to achieve here. If you are trying to hide the use of Sttp behind the HttpBin interface, then your layer definition should instead look like:
    val live: ZLayer[SttpClient, Nothing, HttpBin] =
      (for {
        client <- ZIO.environment[SttpClient]
      } yield new Service {
          override def sendRequest: ZIO[Any, Throwable, HttpBinResponse] = {
            val request = basicRequest
              .get(uri"https://httpbin.org/get")
              .response(asJson[HttpBinResponse])

            sendR(request)
              .map(_.body)
              .absolve
              .map(res => HttpBinResponse(res.origin, res.headers))
              .provide(client)
  }
      }).toLayer

Then your accessor method becomes:
def sendRequest: ZIO[HttpBin, Throwable, HttpBinResponse] =
  ZIO.accessM(_.get.sendRequest)

And you can use it with:
  override def run(args: List[String]): URIO[zio.ZEnv, ExitCode] = {
    val program = for {
      result <- HttpBin.sendRequest
      _ <- console.putStrLn(s"${result.origin}, ${result.headers}")
    } yield ()

    program
      .provideCustomLayer(AsyncHttpClientZioBackend.layer() >>> HttpBin.live)
      .exitCode

The thing to note here is that with layer composition I am using just the vertical operator because HttpBin.live depends on a layer with SttpClient but we are "hiding" that fact from the calling method so you could create a test variant of HttpBin that didn't require Sttp if needed.
If you don't need the information hiding you can instead remove the intermediate layer altogether and just treat your sendRequest as a stand alone method.
object HttpBin {
  def sendRequest: ZIO[SttpClient, Throwable, HttpBinResponse] = {
     val request = basicRequest
       .get(uri"https://httpbin.org/get")
       .response(asJson[HttpBinResponse])

     sendR(request)
       .map(_.body)
       .absolve
       .map(res => HttpBinResponse(res.origin, res.headers))
}

Then you can just call this method and all you need to do is provide the SttpClient layer.

Q: Mac OS X is not starting anymore I tried to install Mac OS X El Capitan and it failed in ~70% progress after reboot and now I even can't start recovery mode (pressing Cmd+R just tries to continue installation process and fails again and again).
Assuming I can get a backup of my user files over Target Disk Mode and then hand migrate them, what steps do I need to perform to wipe and reinstall Yosemite on my Mac?

A: If you have another Mac, you should make a bootable Yosemite drive. To do that, you need an 8GB USB drive and the Yosemite installer downloaded. Here are the instructions, copied from the linked article:

*

*Connect to your Mac a properly formatted 8GB (or larger) drive, and rename the drive Untitled. (The Terminal command used here assumes
  the drive is named Untitled.) Also, make sure the Yosemite installer,
  called Install OS X Yosemite.app, is in its default location in your
  main Applications folder (/Applications). This means that if you moved
  it before installing Yosemite, you need to move it back before making
  your installer disk.

*Select the text of this Terminal command and copy it: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\
  Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
  /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\
  Yosemite.app --nointeraction

*Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities).

*Warning: This step will erase the destination drive or partition, so make sure that it doesn't contain any valuable data.
Paste the copied command into Terminal and press Return.

*Type your admin-level account password when prompted, and then press Return.

When that's done, plug that USB drive into the El Capitan Mac, hold down Option and turn the Mac on, and select Install OS X Yosemite from the list of startup drives. That should bring you into something that's identical to the Recovery HD for all intents and purposes (the only difference being that you don't need to redownload the OS X installer; it's stored locally). From there you should be able to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Yosemite. Good luck!

A: Ok, I've managed to save my user profile.
To do this you'll need to open Terminal app and remove all folders except Users folder. And after, just run Internet Recovery and simply install a new system. Mac OS X Leopard was installed for me. After that I have upgraded it to Mac OS X Maverics.
So as result I have all my personal data is kept. But unfortunately my apps were lost. But it's even better for me as I wanted to remove unnecessary apps a long time ago :P

As part of KpopGaga's intiative to promote new talent, Singaporeans were treated to a free showcase from Superstar K2's finalist Kim So Jung and yet-to-be-debuted girl group Girlfriend at Cathay Cineleisure last month! Find out more about the artists and watch their performances if you missed it then!
Those who have caught Season 2 of one of Korea's most watched auditions programme Superstar K will not find her a stranger – Kim So Jung, a finalist in the Top 11, recently dropped her new single BLAP and was in town to promote it.
Known for her OST participation in the drama Queen Inhyun's Man, she also performed the song "You Have Come" to the delight of many present at the venue.
Seeing her showing her strong vocals and dance moves with confidence onstage, it was hard to imagine how it was like on her road to stardom. Her family opposed her dream to become a singer at first, even though she had the passion for it since young.
It wasn't her first time visiting Singapore – she actually had been here three times! She loves this city and enjoys the food and interacting with the people as well. Leaving a message for her Singaporean fans, Kim So Jung promised to keep working harder and present an even better image after every new song and performance. "I want to show an image that I'm always a singer who will work hard, and there's a lot I haven't had the chance to show, so I hope everyone will know and remember me as the singer to be anticipated." "It will be great if everyone can continue to support me! Thank you!" she ended with smile.
Following on, there are plans for Kim So Jung to release her album in Japan, and she will also be working on her next album, expected to be released at the end of the year or early next year.
The girls even had the chance to travel around Singapore to film their music video, that's something to look forward to! We're anticipating what kind of charms Girlfriend will bring to the table? Keep an eye out for their debut!
Much thanks to KpopGaga for organising the event and also sponsors Cathay Cineleisure, Tunglok, SAFRA, and hotel sponsor Oasia for the beautiful setup for the press conference.
WIN! Stand a chance to win an autographed poster and album from Kim So Jung!
Q: What are the three words Kim So Jung used to describe herself?
Send in your answer with the email title "[GIVEAWAY] BLAP by Kim So Jung" to sgxclusive@gmail.com with your name and contact number and we'll choose one lucky winner at random to win the set! Incomplete entries will not be accepted. Contest ends 21 October, 11.59PM, and open to those residing in Singapore only.
If you haven't heard yet, Pledis Entertainment's hot new boy group NU'EST will be in town this month for Kpopgaga's second installation of ShowKase! For more information on ShowKase 2 feat. NU'EST, check out the article here. Watch out as (x)clusive will also be presenting something exclusive on NU'EST… real soon! Stay tuned!


If you drive east of last week's featured town of Newkirk on old Route 66, at some point you will cross what was once the Goodnight-Loving Trail, one of the most famous cattle drives of the American West. In the mid-1860's, thousands of cattle and somewhat fewer cowboys began to travel this route from central Texas to Fort Sumner, New Mexico, not 50 miles south of Newkirk. Soon the trail was extended to Denver and then Cheyenne.
In 1867, Oliver Loving, the trail's namesake alongside Charles Goodnight, was undertaking an ill-advised daytime ride to Fort Sumner, New Mexico, straight through Comanche country, with a colleague named "One-Armed Bill" Wilson. The two were attacked, Loving was shot and, after lying near the Pecos River for several days while Wilson went for help, had to have his gangrenous arm amputated. He died shortly afterward in Fort Sumner from complications. Wilson survived, apparently having had the foresight to lose his arm earlier. This tale is essentially retold in Larry McMurtry's excellent Lonesome Dove.
You won't see as many cattle now, but you'll want to keep your eyes open for Montoya because, if you blink, you might miss it. There's just not much left. Originally a sparsely populated village known as Roundtree, Montoya's story begins as we've seen many, many times here at City of Dust. That is, it was brought to life by the power of the railroad. Thus, Montoya was officially founded in 1902, when it became a center for shipping and freight on the Southern Pacific.
Richardson's Store and Sinclair Station, pictured above, is one of a couple iconic buildings that remain in Montoya. It opened in 1925, the year before Route 66 was established, and would've served countless travelers. Maybe my uncle made a stop on his trip from the Midwest to California back in the '50's. The store survived into the mid-1970's, when it was finally locked-up with all the unsold merchandise inside. After the owner died in the early-1990's, Charles B. Dominguez, a family friend, was asked to watch over the place and its still-unsold contents for a few weeks. Dominguez ended up minding the store for at least 10 years, never selling a thing. What has happened since then I can't say, but Richardson's Store is now empty of salable goods and the vintage gas pumps are gone.
The old bar shown below and at the top of this post is perhaps the most-photographed building in Montoya. Unfortunately, I can't find a thing about its history. If you know something, please leave a comment. It sold beer and someone took a few shots at it, that much is clear.
There is also a two-story house made of rock constructed by Sylvan R. Hendren and Maria Ignacia Ulibarri Hendren in the early 1900's. Containing a kitchen and living room on the lower level and two bedrooms upstairs, it was known as Casa Alta (i.e., "High House"). It has a distinctive sloping roof used to catch rain for a cistern, but you'll have to take someone else's word for it because I didn't actually see it. Like I said, blink and you'll miss it.
Route 66 from Montoya to Tucumcari, the next town to the east, is narrow and often flooded after rain. In fact, I had to get out and throw rocks into the water at the lowest points of the road to make sure we wouldn't be submerged in our large sedan. A narrow, one-lane tunnel eventually takes you to the south side of I-40 and, as you hope that any oncoming traffic, however unlikely, is paying attention, it's hard not to wonder if Route 66 was always this difficult and dangerous. Probably it was much worse. That's an outtake from nearby Cuervo above.
More information on the Goodnight-Loving Trail is on Wikipedia. Between them, Legends of America and Ghosttowns.com contain most of what little information is available on Montoya. But The Road Wanderer has the most interesting piece. It includes a short interview with Charles B. Dominguez which I excerpted and for which I thank the Wanderer.
Next time we'll go somewhere else.

Colorados's Libertarian tax evader crusader, Doug Bruce, heads off for jail
by Tony Logan - February 14, 2012 February 15, 2012 1
Denver American Civil Liberties Union lawyer failed to keep Libertarian tax cheat and slum lord, Doug Bruce, from deservedly heading into jail for 6 months for his tax evasion. Doug Bruce is the Libertarian big time ideologue now famous for authoring the TABOR Amendment legislation, which has helped demolish the quality of public education in this state among the many other negative consequences of this backward looking and reactionary bill. So perhaps Doug Bruce will be now better able to campaign among fellow inmates for Libertarian Republican Ron Paul 2012 from his new home in the prison cell? And be sure to keep that toilet clean, Doug! It's good manners, Prison Dude. Thinking about Doug a bit more, a citizen should be able to see that electing fellow Libertarian Ron Paul president would be about as negative a thing a country could ever do. It would be like putting Doug Bruce into the governor's seat instead of putting him in prison cell where he definitely does belong. Got to pay some taxes, Libertarians, because we need government but we need a better one than we got, or that you reactionaries would ever help arrange us to get. Sorry, Bruce, but a government has the right to raise funds in order to implement social programs even if you Libertarians have trouble seeing it due to your excessive love of Big Business interests. Pay your taxes and stop whining, Bruce.
Another Katrina looms, exposed by leaks
by Brother Jonah - April 27, 2011 April 27, 2011 0
But not Wiki leaks. Nay, what is leaking is a supposedly inspected and approved levee in Missouri. Much like the bridge falling into the Mississippi in Minnesota three short years ago, much like the Cimarron street bridge over Fountain Creek/Monument Creek confluence and the Union Pacific railroad tracks which ferry the looted coal southward to Galveston, to be put on ships to China ...every 30 minutes during the day and every 20 at night, Big Ol' Hairy-scary chunk of bridge falling on the creek. It would have got more press if it had delayed those strategic shipments of coal. Same problem. Unmaintained infrastructure. Hey, the Romans built a lot of things from concrete too, like the Colosseum which has stood 1940 years in more or less bad condition for most of that time. The difference being that they DID manage a little maintenance over the centuries. Every now and then you have to make actual repairs not patches. The cause of all these bridges falling, levees rupturing? The people who benefit the most from the existence of a city to service their deepwater ports in Southern Louisiana, for instance, or the roads in Minnesota or even good ol' Colorado Springs, don't feel they owe anything to maintain the source of their un-earned and undeserved wealth. So levees up and down the watersheds in the South and elsewhere are being pounded and hurricane season is just starting. So what if they lose St Louis, for instance, Chattanooga, Memphis, Mobile? The Rich Bitches will be evecuated out to their other properties, and the poor people will be evacuated to a Stadium converted to a concentration camp, they'll shoot a few of the malcontents who don't like that arrangement, call it "Gods Own Urban Renewal Project" again and once the waters have receded they'l have bulldozers remove the homes of those inconvenient Peasants. Pat Robertson wil mumble about how the people dispossessed or murdered actually brought the catastrophe upon themselves. Then spend another week having his political comrades clean up his statements. The rich will have the land of the peasants and clean up their docks and factories enough to get started back in the wage-slavery industries, with a generous Government Grant bought politically on the images of all the non-Rich people who won't get any help. Doug Bruce keeps coming up with Tax The Poorest schemes like "hey, we can completely eliminate the Tax Burden of the rich by simply not paying the bills! And lower the wages of the poor too, Yay for Me!" The results have so far been virtually raw sewage dumped into the Arkansas River wathershed through Fountain Creek so everybody downstream from us can either pony up THEIR money to filter OUR pollution or literally eat shit and die. In the No Tax No Fee mentality, it's perfectly legal, Moral and even Commanded By God to literally poison your neighbors well. They get money off of it so there's obviously no problem.. Of course to fit that last one in they
Ugh Bruce, but imperturbable
by Eric Verlo - April 23, 2011 April 28, 2011 0
COLORADO SPRINGS-- It was Doug Bruce himself, the anti-tax man most responsible for the region's decaying services and infrastructure, polishing his own campaign sign, on land belonging to Griffis/Blessing. The fit was not entirely out of the realm of possibility, but I made a second pass, conspicuously taking photos that he might worry could inform a landlord. To his credit, instead of ignoring me he kept trying to wave me over, as if despite my direct attacks on him in city council sessions, he could win me over out there on the corner. He left with the sign.
Doug Bruce files fake state tax return, gets busted.
by Brother Jonah - April 8, 2011 0
one of the inconsistencies was on his Federal Tax he posted more money given to "charities" than he took in income. Even counting the RepubliCan't and TeaTard definition of "charity" to include buying guns for the MinuteMurder Militias, organizing Astroturf Roots Parties, and then taking it all off their income tax thereby forcing HONEST people to subsidize their political pleasures... Glenn Beck, for instance, "donating" at taxpayer expense a painting that looked like he rented a chimp to do it, for AT LEAST $3400 off his own taxes and a matching $3400 off the taxes of one of his Demented Disciples, for the U.S.O. to provide services which he and his Fellow ChickenHawks advocated cutting from the military budget while creating the need for those services by advocating Wars of corporate conquest based purely on LIES. This is the same type of ripoff that Mr Bruce pulled. Jackoffs get paid by the Taxpayers to make themselves look good, so they can call themselves "Tax Heroes" and get really stupid people to support them with more money. Beck and O'Reilly and Limbaugh and the rest of the Korporate Klown Kartel at Fox get paid to promote the wars. They make 100% of their income promoting the For Profit Police State and Corporate Wars. Now, here's one I found "interest"ing. $17000 dollars from interest on a loan scam. When I worked construction (labor) I usually received minimum wage, which the Republicans made sure stayed at 3.35 an hour for 12 long years. After that I was so badly disabled I didn't make even that. Right To Work Laws, another of Mr Bruce's favorite tax-deductible "charities". But in my best year I got about 15,000 dollars and that was working my ass off, ten and twelve hour days and weekends. Something Mr Bruce nor any of his TeaBag confederates would never deign to do, set their carefully manicured Corporate Hands to actual WORK. And the cheap slumlord son-of-a-goat-and-a-whore took a tax-free bonus of that much plus another couple of grand. And claims he "works for the common man". LIAR.
Princess Lisa, "conservative" spends city funds threatening opposition.

Princess Lisa sent this Email, cc'ed to Dennis Hisey, Amy Lathen and Sallie Clark, her TeaBag Terrorist accomplices, and to the Fascist Sheriff and Police Chief: I assume these are copyright violations. Ed, I am forwarding this on to Chief Meyers of the Colorado police department and El Paso County's Sheriff Maketa. Your videos are inappropriate, threatening, include sexual content, promote violence and hate, you have written defamatory statements against elected officials, and are probably violating copyright laws. I will ask for appropriate instruction to go through the formal process to keep you away from me. End Quote I watch Ed's videos. Sex? Violence? Nope. Defamatory? How does one Defame the Infamous? Promoting HATE? You're a TeaBag, for God's Sake! The ones with the endless supply of Deranged Lone-Wolf Social Misfits who you talk into doing your dirty deeds for you, the ones YOU and your fellow ChickenHawks are afraid to do for yourselves. And a "limited government" candidate spending Taxpayer Money to demand the Police do your thug work for you. Shame on you, Princess! Ok... So, if she's still playing along... Lisa, look, hun, it's like this. Calling the Cops is for CRIMINAL offenses, not for pointing out that your pals are a bunch of Nazi freaks who pack automatic weapons IN America because they want to kill AMERICANS.. Not forgetting that none of your Ku Klux Klown amigos are going to do the real killing for yourselves. Don't you worry your Little Princess head none, though, because I'm sure you'll find another Jared Loughner or Scott Roeder or Jim Adkisson to ideologically cleanse at least a few Colorado Springs citizens. There's enough lunatics in the right wing section of the world and your Hate-Mongers are good at finding them, arming them and setting them loose. And as for pasting your face on a perfectly good movie poster for a really awful movie. If anybody is going to file copyright claims it would be the producers of that really stinky movie. It would NOT be something that the Colorado Springs Gestapo should investigate. Lisa, are you reading this, sometime in the near future relative to the time which I wrote this? Please, do consider this. You're allegedly a "fiscal conservative" but really, you come off as being a hate-filled rich errr... "witch" yeah, that's the ticket, a rich-witch MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO REAL WITCHES who will waste the already slashed to the bone city funds by using the Publicly Funded Police like they're your own private Goon Squad because you can't handle people making fun of you. Please, lady, for the love of God (Montressor) drop the hell out of the race and go back to your Barbie Dream House. Oh, me forgetted... Tea Bags no read good. The "for the love of God, Montressor!" part was from a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, "The Cask Of Amantillado" and I'm pretty sure the only place you saw Poe's books was at your semi-seasonal Book Burnings.

That's Rich
by Brother Jonah - February 1, 2011 February 1, 2011 0
"anti-establishment" but being heavily funded by the Real Estate thieves who make up the Establishment here in Colorado Springs. The Real Estate Thieves who were willing accomplices to the Mortgage Scam which broke our local economy, that of Colorado, that of the United States and of the entire world. The Real Estate Thieves who inherited the land grab, the baton passed from such murderous thieves as Carson, Custer, Palmer, Andrew Jackson even. The owners of the land still occupied it? Easy solution, exterminate them. Mass Murder, attempted GENOCIDE (but you bastards didn't get ALL of us, now did you?) Thieves like Zeb Pike who was on a mission to map out, for future conquest, this area which at the time wasn't under the sovereign rule of the United States, but instead under the King of Spain. Not much of an improvement either way, but even by Great White Father paternalistic dictatorship laws, it was prelude to Grand Theft. These Real Estate establishment are the ones who are backing him, his advertising budget now includes Television Ads and signs all over the city, the "Freedom Corporation" news outlets like the Gag-Zette backing his play, Fox News backing his play... But he's "anti-establishment". Start your campaign based on a lie, what are you going to build on it? More LIES? Also backing him are the "Strong Mayor" backers, who want to give even more dictatorial power into the hands of one person. Goons like Doug Bruce and Sallie Clark. Goons who take Publicly Funded police and use them in their for profit war against not poverty itself, but people who are impoverished, and visible. Goons like Lisa Czeladtko and Daniel Chacon who have made statements that the Parks and other Public entities, properties and institutions should be the Private Domain of the Very Rich, no "homeless" need apply. Homeless is an adjective, you would think people who promote English as the ONLY language of America would learn to speak it a little better. Used as a noun it strips the dignity and even the status of Child of God Human from the persons so afflicted. Many if not most, made into "the poor" or "the homeless" or whatever adjective-cum-noun is imposed on US by the policies of these same "maverick" (an unbranded steer) "rogue" and "renegade" Politicians who claim not to be Politicians. Set in stone Establishment Lackeys who claim to be Anti-Establishment. They only use the word "homeless" as an adjective when they refer to homeless PEOPLE as "the homeless PROBLEM". Further dehumanizing us. I've been homeless, ain't proud of it but there's not one reason to feel shame about it either. If people who make their money from theft or from enabling the thieves, like Chacon and Czeladtko and Rivera and Palin and Doug Bruce succeed in their goal of privatizing the entire economy of America,bring every last dime into their own bank accounts, they'll be creating more Homelessness. All in the name of Progress. Oh, Maverick, rogue and renegade... They've apparently forgotten those phrases' true origins. Maverick was a rancher in Texas. Open
Doug Bruce v. Dogbert
by Brother Jonah - January 1, 2011 January 2, 2011 2
See, this guy is an archetype of So-Called "Conservative" ethos. He milks his position as a pig, Former prosecutor that is, first with the "Back the Badge" morons who actually believe that "The Policeman is always right", made God-damn sure that no Colorado Springs Gestapo Agent was ever actually prosecuted for Police Brutality. This doesn't mean, to a Rational and Sane Person, that no acts of Police Brutality ever occurred in the Springs, just that the perpetrators, prosecutors and Judges acted in collusion to protect their Fellow PIGS. But we're not talking Rational and Sane people here, we're talking-Back the Badge Conservative Morons. Doug Bruce and the other Morons (readers will note that I don't differentiate-much-between the "Leaders" and their mindless dupes, the only difference is that assholes like Bruce and Tancredo and Malkin KNOW that they're lying, they know for whom they lie, and they're too stupid to give a damn that they're committing acts of pure evil) backed every assault on Peaceable Assembly, including a recent B-S-D rally at a mall, the infamous St Paddy's Day Massacre, the persecution of the poorest members of OUR town through the "Homeless Camping Ordinance" and every time his Fellow Pigs beat up on a handcuffed prisoner or Murdered errrr "Suicide by Cop"ed anybody either in the jails or with a bullet in the back, on the street, anywhere in America. For instance, when the Cambridge Police lured a REAL Man out of his own home in order to violently suppress his right to free speech, and when Oscar Grant was forced to the pavement and shot in the back while PIGS were holding him down, you could always count on Good Ol' Doug Bruce to support his Fellow Murdering PIG scum. They repaid him, tit-for-tat, by backing up his Bogus Petition Demagoguery when store managers at an Albertson's grocery story told him not to violate THEIR property rights, unlike when they arrested the B-S-D group recently. Right to Free Speech and Assembly is only accorded to the Servants of the Very Rich, at least in the eyes of the Colorado Springs Gestapo. He apparently took lessons from a fictional character created by cartoonist Scott Adams in his Dilbert syndicated strip. Dec 31 1993 - Dogbert - petition Dogbert used the petition-gathering scam to "end world hunger" bait-and-switch which Doug Bruce subsequently copied, successfully, too, with his Sep 28 1992 - Dogbert - Demagogue demagoguery about eliminating taxes simply by refusing to pay for the services that benefit all of society. "A rising tide lifts all boats" is just another Capitalist Lie designed to keep Stupid People voting for their own slavery and supporting their slave-owners. Feb 24-26 1992 Dogbert - "Conservative" Liar ...other than the parts about being a Pure Evil and Cowardly Corporate Suck. That his Momma taught him. Had to edit the Tags because I typed in "1993" so many times searching through the dilbert.com archives that I kind of got carried away. I was supposed to write 2003 beat-down and extremist abuse of
September, Fiscal Year, No Billion Dollars falling from the sky.
by Brother Jonah - September 19, 2010 0
Budget time cometh. Three years ago, when Real Estate started to crap all over the economy, Rivera, our mayor for those who don't speak Coloradospringsish... said that what the city needed was for a Billion Dollars to fall from the sky. That $42 Million he later turned down, because it was earmarked to stuff he didn't think were priorities, like dinner parties for his Rich Sponsors to discuss how to redirect the rest of it to their bank accounts.. That would help a lot. But, it was "earmarked" so NO to the schools, the parks, the streetlights, the Cops and Fire and Ambulance, and especially NO to Bus Service. A bit of rumor hit my ears today. Bus Service to be cut even further. Of course, any real announcement would be made after the election. When somebody else can take the heat, I suppose. The time frame spoken for the schedule, doesn't even cover kids going home from school. Far less people who work a 9-to-5. So one more time the Working Class gets to bite the something or other in order for the Parasite Class to continue their Massive Theft Ventures. I can almost understand Capitalists, Why SHOULD other people besides themselves get the goodies, and further, why should THEY, the ones who actually profit from Capital, Pay for the services only they get? It's just not FAIR! Poor little Rich Bitches. As for the ones who don't profit from capital, as one third of Americans don't, who work themselves further into debt because they're not paid enough to cover the costs of producing their labor, we're the ones who should pay the price for THEM to get services, and not them. No, Citizen, it is our DUTY to support the Parasite class, for to claim a share of what we actually earn rather than feed it into the Greedy Maws of Capitalist Hogs and their sows and piglets... that would be SOCIALISM! and we all know that Socialism is purest evil. We know this because the Capitalists, who like the rest of us have never actually had or experienced a Socialist Economy on any more than a local level, pay spokes-freaks to tell us so. There's probably to be another rally downtown. Of course we know now, as we knew then, that the Arrogant Ones at City Hall won't budget funds for anything but what makes their Rich Bitch buddies (and owners) richer. One feels like Oliver Twist at the orphanage asking the docent for more gruel.
A statement to our Beloved City Council and Mayor
by Brother Jonah - August 3, 2010 August 3, 2010 12
From Ed Billings.Prior to the drastic cuts in our Transit System as of January 1, 2010 I was told "Don't Protest, Talk to the City Council instead", I have done that time and time again. There have been numerous obstacles to keeping local bus services as it was. First there was Mayor Lionel Rivera who really doesn't care about the transit system at all. Then there is Doug Bruce who keeps hollaring that taxes must be eliminated. The last City Council Meeting I had attended on November 24, 2009 was amusing when I watched Doug Bruce and Mayor Lionel Rivera arguing with each other. Watching two rightwingers at each other's throats is always a sight to see. What wasn't amusing was when the majority had voted to eliminate evening and weekend public transportation. Other Passengers have told me that City Council of Colorado Springs will make their decisions regardless of what people like us say. Doug Bruce and Mayor Rivera should have bought each other a beer to celebrate having gotten what they wanted, Doug Bruce Should have been happy that 2c had failed which gave Mayor Rivera all the ammo he needed to eliminate Evening and Weekend public transportation, Turn off alot of street lights which has increased the crime rate and his ever famous stunt of removing trash cans from city parks. Doug Bruce should also be happy because now Colorado Springs will begin to be as slummy as the properties he owns. To which I have to add, the Shitty Hall folks just don't even make good professional grade thieves. Not taking a cue from Dallas and Fort Worth about attracting and keeping Large Scale Bribe Resources to Colorado in general or Springs in particular, they neglect a sure fire dealmaker or Deal Killer. And they do it by trying to bribe the bribe-sources, using public money. Taxpayers get to subsidize Corporate Freeloaders who aren't essentially Taxpayers. WalMart, for instance, is a net loss to our town. We pay more for the stormwater rushing off their massive roofs and parking lots in such quantities it broke our already broken water purification system. You know, the one that was put in 50 and 60 years ago when the population was 75% less. So now the poisons from Wally World and other Toxic Waste sites are running down to our fellow countrymen who live downhill thus downstream from us. Everybody West of the Mississippi for instance. One of them, our nearest neighbor, Pueblo, is suing the City for more money than would cost to reinstate bus service at a much higher level AND fix the problem in the first place. That's something they'd probably not want done, actually, a Pyrrhic Victory in the form of Colorado Springs owing more money than we can repay. I imagine the Rich Bastards who caused and continued the problem will simply take their secured bank accounts elsewhere. No longer be part of Colorado Springs and thus, not liable for any of the damage their
Judge-shooter Bruce Nozolino indicted before Facebook friends can jump ship
by Eric Verlo - July 17, 2010 July 17, 2010 9
Conservative petition-circulator Bruce Nozolino warned would-be litigants that he had a reputation, "a propensity to shoot judges and lawyers" and it turns out whoever got in his way. He poses with a rifle on his Facebook profile. Today a local grand jury indicted Nozolino for murder. While Nozolino loitered outside the courthouse beyond a boundary court-ordered by the judge, his associate Doug Bruce was granted immunity for testifying against him. Other Republican friends were not so lucky. Local cronies Bob Balink and Jeff Crank and state crazies Bob Beauprez, Kent Lambert and Dave Schulteis have ties to the self-styled gun-toting avenger, and Facebook has the paper trail! There's also Robin Coran, whose profile pic features attack-mite Michelle Malkin, local Tea Party heavies Crista Huff and Michelle Morin (Who unfriended Nozolino as I typed this), and other locals who I'll list here for posterity: "Bob" Clark, Andy McElhany, Carolyn Borgwardt, Jim Pfaff, Judy Rydberg Reyher, Kathy Peterson, Kay Rendleman, Mark H. Barker, Robert J. Lane, Shawn Mitchell, Tom Wiens. This "Likes Cooking bacon with a machine-gun" profile is almost too perfect to be believed, but you can't claim a Facebook friendship without being accepted.
Paperhanging and intensified targeting of Dark-Skinned Americans by DHS
by Brother Jonah - January 30, 2010 July 17, 2010 0
So, predictably (thus, often predicted) Darker Skinned Americans are now, in an unofficially official manner, targeted by "law" Enforcement once more merely because of our "dark brooding menacing swarthy appearance". A matter of Fear which often visits the Ruling Class. I used to experience it every summer during Revival Season, because some preachers like to pump up the "Jungle Fever" Hamites-and-other-persons-of-color-being-born-evil blatant racism. Get down from the trees and onto your knees routine. For a while, too, in Ft Worth and a shorter while in El Paso, I had a job called "paperhanging", putting advertisements on doors. There's a lot of semantics involved in all of this, phrases and words which mean far different things to different social groups. When we put out the Grocery Store circulars, weekly, we typically had 3 and sometimes 4 different circulars, Safeway, Buddies, Affiliated, Piggly-Wiggly... because in that long gone era there actually would be that many "super"markets in walking distance of a persons house. And they didn't have an in-store StarBuck$ or MacDonalds either. Mind you, this was when I was young and Dinosaurs ruled the Earth. We would put the circulars on doors or, if there was a fence, hang them on the gatepost. Semantics 101 here, "paperhanging" also refers to Installing Wallpaper, an almost forgotten trade. If done right you would have a better-than-painted appearance to your interior walls that would last decades. If done wrong it would be an invitation to roaches. It's also a slang term for deliberately writing No-Funds Checks, like the Bush Regime with their "Check is in the mail" lie where a Bond Issue, mostly to foreign governments and foreign corporations (who want their money back now) insteading of taxing the Very Rich in America, the ONLY group who benefit from the so-called "patriot" act and the "war on terror", in order to fund those very expensive enterprises. Without the Rich Pigs who started and maintain them actually having to pay for them. Or so the promise goes. So, on this job, I walked all day. In all kinds of weather, mostly hot and sticky weather, and in many different neighborhoods. Some were a pleasure in which to work, usually, surprise, Minority neighborhoods, where the people tended to be a little further Off-White in skin tone. They had their own community enforcement, still do actually, and in reality a rich person would be safer walking in such a neighborhood than a Working Class person would in a Wealthy Elitist Neighborhood. Semantics 101: when Rich people mug Working Class people who wander into "their" enclaves it's usually done by proxy, the Police. If a Wealthy individual has a crime committed against him in a Working Class "minority" neighborhood it would probably be by some social misfit who doesn't get along with his own neighbors either. The Working Class independent contractor criminal would probably only take the money and dope the Wealthy interloper has on his person. The Police in the Rich Neighborhood have the power to introduce the Working Clase "intruder"

Wonder if Tea-Bagger supremes Sean Paige and Jeff Crank and Doug Bruce will step up and offer any defense to the person charged? Oh, hell no.

"When eggplants are in season we make these yummy eggplant balls a lot. They are made with baked eggplant, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and I add mint for extra taste! Feel free to experiment with other cheeses."
Wrap each eggplant in foil and place on a baking tray. Bake until skin can easily be pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Slice each eggplant in half, discard seeds, and scoop out soft flesh; place flesh in a colander.
Place colander on a plate; cover eggplant with foil and set a heavy object, like a plate with some cans, on top of the plate to squeeze out any excess liquid. Let stand for about 20 minutes, then chop the flesh, squeezing out extra water as you work.

First post quake assessment in Haiti finds hunger spike in affected areas
Restoring damaged agriculture the only path to recovery, improved food security - FAO
09 September, Rome - As new data from Haiti showed last month's earthquake has damaged agriculture and driven up hunger, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations today urgently called for more investments to help rural Haitians resume critical backyard gardening and small-scale farming and avoid a worsening of the food crisis.
The appeal came in response to a newly released Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis showing that some 980 000 people in the four departments of the island nation that bore the brunt of the 7.2 magnitude quake -- Grand'Anse, Nippes, Sud and Sud-Est areas - are now living with acute food insecurity. As the poorest country in the western hemisphere, Haiti has long been vulnerable on multiple fronts. But among the most recent factors to blame are the destruction in the quake of markets, rural roads, storage and processing facilities, dairies, and irrigation systems and additional damage brought by Tropical Storm Grace, which hit days after the seismic event.
"On top of a succession of disasters and crises, this latest double whammy has left people's ability to produce and to access food for their families and communities in tatters ," said FAO Representative in Haiti, Jose Luis Fernandez. "With the October winter planting season just around the corner, we can't wait to invest in rebooting agricultural production. That must happen immediately, but we are hampered by low levels of funding for this critical work," he added.
Even before the August 14 earthquake, poverty, civil unrest, political and economic instability combined with recurring natural disasters and the effects of COVID-19 pandemic had made Haiti one of the world's biggest food crises, with 4.4 million people in the country facing crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity, as measured on the IPC scale (also known as high acute food insecurity).
Targeting those most in need
Sixty percent of rural Haitians rely on agriculture for their livelihoods. For the most resource-poor and vulnerable families, backyard food production is critical to their nutritional well-being.
FAO is calling for USD 20 million in new support to protect and restore the livelihoods of 32,000 highly vulnerable rural households (160,000 people) affected by the earthquake and tropical Storm Grace, which hit just days after the tremors ceased. The funds are also needed to rehabilitate the community agricultural infrastructure. Support planned includes:
Crops and cash transfer: 15,000 vulnerable families (75,000 people) will receive vegetable and pulses seeds and agricultural tools, as well as technical support. They will also receive a cash transfer for the equivalent of USD 200 (USD100 /month) to cover their urgent needs while waiting for their crops to grow.
Small livestock and fishery: 10,000 vulnerable affected households (50,000 people) will receive poultry and goats as well as emergency fodder and help setting up fodder banks. Veterinary support teams and mobile veterinary kits and services provided for 25000 domestic animals affected by the earthquake. Fishing equipment and technical support will help revive sea fishing and fish farming.
Rehabilitation of agricultural infrastructure: 7,000 households (35,000 people) will benefit from the rehabilitation of agricultural infrastructure and processing facilities damaged by the landslides and the earthquake. This will help protect their assets and rebuild food production capacity while ensuring access to local products. Among the infrastructure to be rehabilitated will be irrigation canals, facilities for processing fruit, cassava, maize and peanuts, milk and fish.
Note for editors: The IPC is a global, multi-partner initiative - comprised of 15 UN agencies, regional organizations, and international non-governmental organizations - that facilitates improved decision-making through the provision of consensus-based food insecurity and malnutrition analysis.
Rehabilitating damaged gardens, farms and agricultural infrastructure will be key in Haiti's post-quake recovery.
