Man sets fire to van in front of Japanese Embassy

[Herald Interview] Bespoke suits tailored for comfort
By Im Eun-byel
Tailor stresses importance of 'emotional size'
Published : Sept 27, 2018 - 15:19
Updated : Sept 27, 2018 - 15:19
Walking into a tailor shop, one imagines being greeted by a stylish, well-manicured man. He sports a classic yet chic beard and is dressed in an expensive-looking bespoke suit, complete with lapel pins, cufflinks and a silk pocket square.
Stepping into Matthew in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province, a 30-minute drive southeast of Seoul, a different picture unfolds. A tall woman in her 30s walks up to you with a big smile, donning a long dress.
She introduces herself: Kang Ae-wan, master tailor of the shop.

While it is not easy to find a female tailor who runs her own shop, Kang has been an owner-tailor for over a year. Though she does not give much thought to her gender, there are some advantages to being a woman in the profession.
"I do not actually wear a male suit," Kang told The Korea Herald during an interview at her shop. "As a result, my perspective is objective. Some male tailors are prejudiced, actually wearing the suits they make. But what they think cannot be applied to everyone."

Kang got started in the clothing industry around 10 years ago, working for an online retailer. She was met with skepticism, having studied law in college. With zero experience in the fashion industry, she started her career by dealing with customers.
"I really did not have too many thoughts at the time. I just liked clothes," she said. But she believed in the power of working step by step.
Kang moved on to merchandising, then to styling. The next step for her was working at a company that specializes in men's bespoke suit. She started with measuring the clients.
"Men's suits were more attractive, as it was a field that required study, and it suited me more as I am someone who studies," she recounted.
As she took classes at private institutions and learned the basics, people at work helped her out, recognizing her passion. She learned pattern-making and cutting there.
After taking some time off due to health reasons, she opened a tailoring house, as at that point it was what she had done for 10 years.
Of course, some were unsure of Kang, as a woman in the profession. She could see the distrust in their eyes.
"I have measured more than 7,000 customers. I can see what they are thinking by just looking at their faces. Some leave after consulting, because they don't trust me. But still, most try to trust me," she said.
"There was this customer recently, a man in his 50s. When everything was finished, he told me, 'I was unsure at first because you are a woman. But now I realize that you are very skilled. I am waiting for the suit with great expectations.'"
Kang measures the length of a jacket lapel. (Matthew)
As a tailor, Kang believes that everyone should be able to wear a bespoke suit, especially as more people have "unbalanced" figures. Many people find it hard to fit into ready-made suits.
"Everyone should have the right to wear bespoke suits. Office workers call their suits a combat gear, as it is the clothing they don for making a living," she said. "Some male tailors think that only high-end bespoke suits should be made. If that were the case, not many could afford to wear bespoke suits."
Reflective of her values, Kang's suits come in a wide price range. The cheaper ones are priced at 350,000 won ($314). Midrange suits sit at around 500,000 won and those that use imported Italian fabrics are priced at 1 million won.
"In the past, people used to wear hand-me-down suits. At the time, expensive suits may have been practical," Kang said. "But now is the era of fast fashion. Even five years is a long time to wear a suit."
At Kang's shop, the client and Kang talk about why the person needs a suit and what kind of a suit he is considering. She also asks the client about his lifestyle and what kind of suits he already owns.
Speaking of measurement, she stressed the importance of "emotional size."
"Everyone comes to have a custom-tailored suit made so they can wear the right sized one. But 'right size' means different things from person to person. Some like their suits tight, others like it loose. It is important to catch what they are thinking," she said.
Choosing the fabric, getting the measurements done, a client must visit the shop three times and wait for a month for the fully tailored suit. Kang hopes for more understanding about the process.
"There are customers who call and say, 'I need a suit for the day after tomorrow' or 'Can I have a suit in five days?' But a tailored suit is not something that comes out in a day. I can understand what a client wants only by spending more time with him."
She also hopes suits can connote a different meaning.
"In Korea, there is a sense of coerciveness associated with suits. It is worn because you have to wear it. So there are negative implications to suits and that's why the business has been struggling in general," Kang said.
"I am trying to make lighter ones -- lighter in fabric, in design. If I carry on such efforts, more people may willingly wear suits, simply because they want to. Hopefully, more people can be comfortable wearing tailored suits."

San Marino MINI Flag - 9" x 6"
San Marino No Crest MINI Flag - 9" x 6"
As an emblem of sovereignty, San Marino adopted in 1797 a white and blue national cockade. The colours were taken from the coat of arms, which displays three white towers on a blue field. The towers represent three castles built on three summits of Mount Titano: Guaita, Cesta and Montale. The white stands for peace, exemplified by the white clouds and the snow; the blue is a symbol of liberty and the sky over San Marino.

We do a lot of on-location interviews. In the last year, we've done almost 100 interviews. All were shot on-location. More than ever, clients want to shoot where they are. People, at all levels within any company, just don't have time to travel to a studio. That does not mean, however, that clients want to sacrifice quality.
Below are just two examples of what is possible on-location. Each interview has its own distinct look and feel, but were both shot in the same size room. When shooting on location, the physical space limitation is the main obstacle. Unfortunately, the reality is that the largest room most companies can offer is a conference room. Below you will see the results of shooting in a very small room, while still achieving a studio look. Both interviews were achieved using our standard camera package, lights and lenses – no special rental camera, light truck, gear or lens rentals were employed. For the two interviews below, we took advantage of our 85mm lens. The lens imparts a cinematic effect, beautiful skin tone, and a shallow depth of field, which provides an infinite studio look. We have determined that we can achieve a studio look in a room as small as 16' wide, 20' long, with 9' ceilings for standing subjects, 7 ½' ceilings for seated subjects. Anything larger is a bonus.
Although shot in the same size room, the production and post-production approaches vary considerably, resulting in two very different interviews, each with their own distinct look and feel. What's most exciting is that these are only two possibilities – there are infinite approaches.

The city was built in Honduras by a vanished culture so little studied that archaeologists have not named the ancient civilization.
The ruins were first identified in May 2012 during an aerial survey of La Mosquitia, a treacherous region that contains some of the last scientifically unexplored places on Earth, reported National Geographic.
Researchers from Colorado State University surveyed earthworks, plazas, and a pyramid that thrived between 1000 C.E. and 1400 C.E.
Archaeologists found pristine, unlooted ruins and artifacts — which they said was "incredibly rare" — including stone ceremonials seats and vessels carved with snakes, animal-human hybrids, and vultures.
They also found the head of a "were-jaguar" that may depict a shaman in a spirit shape, or the artifact could be related to ritualized ball games common throughout the region before Europeans arrived.
Explorers and prospectors have for decades passed on indigenous legends about a "place of cacao" where Native Americans hid from Spanish conquistadores.
Previous teams have claimed they found the legendary city, and some archaeologists doubt the latest discovery is indeed the "White City," reported The Christian Science Monitor.
Many new sites have been discovered or rediscovered in recent years due to changing politics that have opened the region to exploration and many technological advances that allow archaeologists to locate ruins.
"We have entered a more sophisticated age of exploration," said Ben Thomas, of the Archaeological Institute of America.
Even so, Thomas said, archaeologists have probably found only about 40 percent of what's left to discover.

Cameroon army says kills 116 Boko Haram fighters
Posted By: Karnataka News BureauPosted date: December 19, 2014 In: International
116 fighters from Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamist group have been killed by Cameroonian soldiers, the Cameroonian army said.
Insurgents attacked an army base in Amchide on the border with Nigeria on Wednesday, but soldiers repelled them, inflicting heavy losses, the defence ministry said.
"A column made up of a military truck and four pick-ups from the BIR (elite Rapid Intervention Battalion) were caught in an ambush that began with an explosion of a roadside bomb," the army said.
"At the same time…, the Amchide military base was attacked by hundreds of fighters from the sect, but the response from our defence forces was instant and appropriate," the statement said.
"There are 116 of the assailants dead on Cameroonian territory and undetermined casualties on the Nigerian territory from our artillery fire," the statement said. "There is one dead on the Cameroonian side and one officer missing."
According to the army, the Boko Haram fighters destroyed a pick-up and a troop truck, as well as managing to capture another military truck.
Boko Haram has grown in power in the area, where Cameroon and Nigeria are linked by a bridge. Militants have carried out repeated massacres of civilians and attacks on villages there, but are now increasingly active against military targets.

Family Evicted From Aurobindo Ashram in Puducherry Attempts Suicide, 3 Dead
PM Modi steps in to speed up stuck projects


Joanna is a 20-year-old student from Uganda who completed her International Baccalaureate at the Aga Khan Academy, Mombasa, Kenya. She is currently pursuing her Bachelor of Engineering at the University of Calgary.
Pursuing an education in STEM fields is a cultural taboo in Uganda, which Joanna has battled with since primary school. She has a strong desire to shift her community's stereotypical perception of the abilities of girls and women, especially in the fields of science and technology. Unfortunately, the common belief in Uganda is that young women are expected to adhere to traditional general roles by engaging in unintellectual domestic work.
Encouragement from her parents and peers is what motivated Joanna to work harder to achieve her goal of being accepted into an exceptional civil engineering program and becoming a civil engineer in her home country. The driving force behind her ambition is her ardent passion for mathematics and physics and a desire to change society's view of women in the STEM fields.
Joanna is passionate about community development, particularly the development of infrastructure. She is frustrated by her country's dependence on foreign firms to carry out local development projects while using locals as laborers, rather than passing on necessary skills and expertise. As a skilled civil engineer, Joanna plans to promote the training of locals in her community by providing jobs that will help improve their skills in STEM, especially for women.
Joanna plans to contribute to the economic development of Uganda by researching convenient routes of transport to ease the movement of goods and services in and out of economic centers in Uganda. She believes that creating self-sufficient citizens and an economy that is not reliant on foreign countries will change the balance of power in an unstable political system. She is confident that Uganda has the potential to develop into a nation that promotes equality, creates sustainable revenue, and improves upon its social services. Pursuing civil engineering is one way by which she can play a role in creating a brighter future for Uganda.

Michael Thompson argues that there are five ways of organising: hierarchical (e.g. Government), egalitarian (e.g. Friends of the Earth), individualistic (e.g. financial markets), fatalistic (nothing will make a difference) and autonomous (hermit-like avoidance of the other four).
Leaders with "a job to do" often conclude that any interaction with an opposing approach is a messy and unwelcome distraction. Yet, through a wide range of examples, (UN EP, Shell, the World Bank and Arsenal Football Club, to name a few) we are shown how each way distils certain elements of experience and wisdom that are missed by the others and that taking all the voices into account in the policy process means everyone gets more of what they do want and less of what they don't. Michael Thompson calls these 'clumsy solutions'.
The lively style of the presentation - punctuated with the author's delightful wit and humour - and its rigorous attention to detail makes this book suitable for anyone who understands the importance of variety and diversity, and how it can be used to achieve 'best outcomes'.
Its lively and witty presentation and its rigorous attention to detail makes it accessible to academics, managers, policy makers and the interested general public in search of sustainable solutions.

Cisco buys hyperconvergence software supplier
Cisco's transformation into a software-led networking business continues with the purchase of Springpath, a developer of hyperconvergence software
Alex Scroxton, Security Editor
Published: 22 Aug 2017 9:30
Cisco has taken another step away from its old hardware-first model towards software-defined networking (SDN) with the acquisition of Springpath, a developer of distributed file-systems for hyperconvergence and an existing technology partner of Cisco's.
The two firms have previously worked together to launch one of the industry's first fully integrated hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) systems, HyperFlex, and have already aligned their product and go-to-market strategies. Cisco also led Springpath's series C funding round through its investments arm.
Cisco now wants to acquire the business outright as it continues to grow its compute business and push its customers towards software-defined infrastructure and next-generation datacentre systems.
"This acquisition is a meaningful addition to our datacentre portfolio and aligns with our overall transition to providing more software-centric solutions," said Rob Salvagno, Cisco vice-president of corporate business development.
"Springpath's file system technology was built specifically for hyperconvergence, which we believe will deliver sustainable differentiation in this fast-growing segment."
Cisco claimed it had already picked up around 1,800 customers for Hyperflex during the past year, as it eyes up a slice of the hyperconverged infrastructure space, which could be worth up to $6bn by 2020, according to IDC.
The supplier has forked out $320m in cash and assumed equity for Springpath, and expects to close the acquisition during the current quarter, at which point it will be folded into Cisco's Computing Systems Product Group under Liz Centoni.
Cisco's pivot away from networking hardware, which has been its bread and butter for more than two decades, has gathered a head of steam since current CEO Chuck Robbins took over from his long-standing predecessor, John Chambers, in 2015.

Converged and hyper-converged infrastructure are ready-tested ways to put compute and storage into the datacentre. But which should you choose for your deployment?
Up to that point Cisco often found itself accused of missing the transition to SDN, and remaining too focused on traditional networks as customers began to pull compute, networking and storage out of their previously distinct silos. This was in spite of it having launched its datacentre SDN line, ACI, in the summer of 2014.
Nevertheless, Robbins' drive towards SDN and hyperconvergence is taking a while to sink in, and Cisco has suffered through several straight quarters of declining revenues as its switching lines drop off.
In its most recent set of results, its quarterly revenues dropped by 4% year-on-year to $12.1bn, and its full-year revenues were down 2% to $48bn.

Q: Python Extension to OpenCV image grabber software We have a pretty mature system that receives images (via USB) and related data (via Ethernet) in a C++ application. The code is using OpenCV in C++. I'd like to add a possibility to add extra image processing extensions in Python before displaying the images.
So the general idea would be:

*

*on startup: find all the .py-Scripts provided in a folder and initialize their state using a defined init function

*when receiving an image

*

*pass the image pointer to a defined function in the python extension

*process in python and return an overlay structure

*when all extensions have finished processing display the image with the overlays on top

Is this possible? I'm referring especially to the (read-only) operation of the python scripts on the same memory that the C++ application has allocated for the image, OpenCV reference counting etc.
For the rest of it I think https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html would provide examples.

About 40 miles (65 km.) west of Phoenix and to the south of Interstate 10 at Tonopah are a pair of volcanic mountains linked by a saddle of lower hills. The more dramatic western peak is Saddle Mountain. It is composed of lighter-colored lava, tuff and rhyolite. The eastern peaks are nearly black basaltic lava of Quaternary Age. The Bureau of Land Management controls the major portions but there are a number of private holdings surrounding the mountains and there are quite a few mining claims (none of which appear to be active). There are nonetheless many entryways and easy hiking. As the Tonopah area grows this will be an important asset for recreation.
The most direct access is from Exit #94 off I-10, turning south on 411th Ave. Saddle Mountain RV Park on the left offers civilized camping. Several miles south 411th Ave intersects the Buckeye-Salome Hwy. Drive west or east on this little used road to find a number of trails or jeep roads leading into the foothills.

International counselor fly-ins ask you to leave your entire life for a week, a whole week! For me that means leaving: 10 classes, 38 seniors, 275 AP exams, 5 home room mornings, 1 faculty/staff social, and a volleyball open gym.
But on the other hand, missing that week meant I was able to connect with 16 other colleagues from around the world who work with kids similar to mine, visit 4 schools (sometimes even more!), have meaningful conversations with professionals on each side of the desk, interact with current university students, and widen my understanding of individual admission processes, and the overall process of the country I am visiting.
I know that counselor fly-ins are an investment, I can't even imagine what this last fly in cost. But what I can tell you is that I walked away with more than any amount of money could buy. I walked away with a sense of what each campus offers to international students, the community my students would be a part of, and the feel of the institutions. I also walked away with a new sense of the hot topics for this year, 16 new colleagues extending my network of expertise farther across continents, and a better understanding of the issues facing different students all over the world. I've already connected some of my rising seniors to all the schools we visited. Will they apply? I don't know. But the fact that I am confident in recommending each of the universities that I visited is security for me, my students, and their families.
As counselors, we were able to ask the hard questions to each institution and hear their individual answers and feelings on topics important to us. We were able to tailor our visits to best suit our international students' academic and cultural needs specific to the areas of the globe they come from. Some of us are newer to the profession and picked the brains of those who have more experience. Between the actual institution visits, the individual conversations, and evenings where we mixed personal and professional advice, the amount that a counselor fly-in can teach us is beyond any expectations.
At the end of the day, we could look at the logical bottom line of missed work and expenses paid. However, I think a more accurate way of looking at the cost of an international counselor fly-in would be in the value gained from networking, meeting prospective students, and most importantly - understanding. It is this understanding of new campuses, programs, areas of the world, meeting new people on both sides of the desk, and very best of all: understanding and finding new ways of serving our students, which, at the end of the day, is why we do what we do.
Now back to my 200 unread emails, and maybe tackling the laundry pile... good thing I have some new clean college t-shirts!

Q: xsltproc specify search path for input document Can I do this with xsltproc:

*

*The main document that is being processed is located in directory src_dirname relative to $PWD

*The name of the document to include is specified in the src attribute

*If the attribute origin is set to

*

*generated, the document to include should be found in target_dir/src_dirname/@src

*anything else, the document to include should be found in src_dirname/@src
Tried:
<xsl:template match="include">
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="@origin='generated'">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="document(concat($target_dir, '/', $src_dirname, '/', @src))/content" />
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="document(@src)/content" />
        </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

with
xsltproc --path . --stringparam target_dir __targets --stringparam src_dirname doc doc/doc2html.xsl doc/maike.doc.xml

But it wants to load the resource from doc/__targets/doc/cmdline.xml, which is wrong. It should be __targets/doc/cmdline.xml.
Tag in input document:
<include src="cmdline.xml" origin="generated" />

A: Apparently, if the stylesheet is fed through stdin, document will not try to look in the directory of the source file, thus
xsltproc --path . --stringparam target_dir __targets --stringparam src_dirname doc - doc/maike.doc.xml < doc/doc2html.xsl

Solves the problem

Q: Iterate through array I am having hard time with this array output as I am dont know how to get ID value form the output. I can get other values but for ID I get null whe I dump it.
here is array output:
array(3) {
[0]=> array(4) {
    ["acf_fc_layout"]=> string(15) "options"
    ["payments"]=> array(1) {
        [0]=> object(WP_Post)#10502 (24) {
            ["ID"]=> int(7190)
            ["post_author"]=> string(1) "1"
            ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2021-09-10 14:49:54"
            ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "0000-00-00 00:00:00"
            ["post_content"]=> string(4) "TEST"
            ["post_title"]=> string(4) "TEST"
            ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) ""
            ["post_status"]=> string(5) "draft"
            ["comment_status"]=> string(6) "closed"
            ["ping_status"]=> string(6) "closed"
            ["post_password"]=> string(0) ""
            ["post_name"]=> string(0) ""
            ["to_ping"]=> string(0) ""
            ["pinged"]=> string(0) ""
            ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2021-09-10 14:49:54"
            ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2021-09-10 12:49:54"
            ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) ""
            ["post_parent"]=> int(0)
            ["guid"]=> string(73) "https://url.com"
            ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(7) "payment"
            ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) ""
            ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0"
            ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw"
        }
    }
    ["link"]=> bool(false)
    ["home"]=> bool(true)
}

Then I do for each loop through the array loop. I can get variables link and home but id var shows NULL.
foreach($payments as $a){
   $link = $a["link"];
   $home= $a["home"];
   $id = $["payments"]["ID"];
}

I am not sure what is wrong here, I am new at programming and this array seems to be a bit complicated for me. I was googling but cannot find a similar example.

A: You are using the wrong key to access the ID field.
As @Barmer commented here the element 0 in your $payments array is an WP_Post object. So you have to access the ID with this call:
$a["payments"][0]->ID

All you need to know about Mirtha Jung First Wife of drug dealer George Jung
Tosin Abayomi	December 23, 2020
American drug lords and smugglers have also managed to make a name for themselves in tabloids and the news and in this case, we would take a look at George Jung and also his First Wife Mirtha Jung.
The third to know more about Mirtha Jung rose he was played by Johnny Depp in a 2001 biopic. The personal life of George Jung was at the forefront and grabbed the needed audience and media attention. Mirtha Jung his wife played by Penelope Cruz was perhaps the biggest reveal in the movie.
In the movie caught the audiences' eye before she leaves her husband for the sake of her daughter Mirtha is shown to be a partner in crime in her husband's smuggling business and the quest to know more about her began as she rose to fame following this biopic.
Who is George Jung
George Jung personal life has sparked an even deeper interest amongst the general public especially after the movie Blow which came out in 2001 as We are always fascinated by the lives of the rich and the famous and while some rise to fame due to show business and having a media presence.
Those who knew him in the United States referred to him as Boston George but his real name was George Jacob Jung which he was regarded as by his Colombian compadres.
He starting off as a marijuana smuggler but became one of the most famous smugglers and drug traffickers of his time.
In his early Jung was sentenced to jail for a couple of years after he was busted years for smuggling 660 pounds of marijuana. he found his cellmate and future partner Carlos Lehder in jail.
Jung left prison and was living with his parents when Carlos Lehder was released from prison contacted him. Lehder had strong Columbian connections and together with Jung decided to act on all the ideas they used to discuss in their time at the jail.
When they started very few people knew about cocaine in the United States and soon Jung became the Pablo Escobar of America. They started off by smuggling small amounts of cocaine in naive passengers' suitcases and entering drugs from Colombia to America. He and Lehder joined the Medellin Cartel were smuggling drugs for them into America.
He met his first wife Mirtha Jung and fell in love during his time in the Medellin Cartel. Jung proved his worth in the Medellin cartel smuggling in a way they could avoid getting checked at seaports. he found a new way of smuggling drugs by dropping them on American soil through planes which proved very fruitful for the cartel.
After the partnership with Lehder disintegrated Jung partnered with Pablo Escobar which resulted in smuggling obscene amounts of cocaine into the United States and he started making millions of dollars.
He was arrested for possession of a few pounds of cocaine during a birthday party at his house after authorities got wind of his activities. He was given a reduced sentence of 20 years after he testified against Lehder. Eventually, he was released in 2014.
Mirtha Jung
While Mirtha is of Cuban descent she met Jung in Columbia during one of the parties. She is the first wife of George Jung and greatly influenced in his drug trafficking activities from Columbia to the United States.
Mirtha was much younger than George Jung when they met. Mirtha was thought to be 24 when she first met George Jung what attracted her and Jung to each other was because at that time they met she was dug deep in drug abuse herself. Mirtha and soon they were married in 1976.
She managed to make millions during this time as she and her husband delved deep into the cocaine trade. It is said that Mirtha was really involved and helped Jung in smuggling drugs to America from Columbia. there are those who believe that she had a major role in his drug trade business in the late '70s and early '80s and not just George Jung's first wife.
Mirtha was not only Jung's wife but also an equal partner in his business. It was a match made in heaven as they both had one common interest at that time which was drugs.
while she was pregnant Mirtha continued to use drugs and was unable to leave them. in their first year of marriage, George and Mirtha had a daughter named Kristina Sunshine Jung in 1978.
She continued with her abuse of drugs until she was charged with possession of drugs. Mirtha was jailed for three years. Mirtha never did drugs after that again as it was in jail that she decided to transform her life and got a break from the drugs.
Upon her return, Mirtha has maintained a low profile and has stayed away from drugs, and focused on caring for her daughter and building a future for the two of them. Mirtha tries to stay out of the limelight.
After spending three years in jail Mirtha had decided to leave drugs behind to transform her life for the better. Mirtha had changed from that toxic lifestyle and in 1984 she left him and the couple divorced. Mirtha also had a lot of help and support from Kristina's grandparents Ermine and Fredrick Jung who helped raise their granddaughter.
She really wanted to improve her life for Kristina and tried to do that after she was released from jail which was the biggest motivation behind the decision as George Jung was not ready to change or transform his life for his wife and kid.
Mirtha never married again as George Jung was the only true love of her life. However, Jung was quick to move on and married his second wife Ronda Clay Spinello Jung.
Kristina is a poet and a writer, she has a great relationship with her mother but never got a chance to love or know her dad. The story of Mirtha Jung reveals that she supported him as much as she could while they both were together and also She is An incredibly independent and strong woman.

Mitch McConnell Ends Mitch McConnell's Career
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell does what he does best… be a RINO and anger his Republican base.
McConnell is Against Impeachment
He kicked off the month of September by shutting down efforts from his own party to attempt to impeach President Joe Biden. Instead, McConnell urged other GOP members to abandon any tries to remove the controversial Democrat president from office.
The Senate leader was in Kentucky when a question over whether Biden's actions regarding the disastrous Afghanistan situation was grounds for impeachment.
"Well, look, the president is not going to be removed from office. There's a Democratic House, a narrowly Democratic Senate. That's not going to happen," McConnell answered.
He furthered up his thoughts by saying, "There isn't going to be an impeachment."
GOP Members Push
GOP members in both the House and Senate have called for the impeachment of Biden or suggested he voluntarily resign based on his horrendous Afghanistan troop withdrawal decision.
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said he believes impeachment is what should be sought. Senator Rick Scott of Florida suggested that using the 25th Amendment could be appropriate in this situation and it allows for the majority of the Cabinet to remove a sitting president.
Powerhouse conservative Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene went as far as to file three articles of impeachment. When asked if he agreed with her move, McConnell said "no."
Democrats were wildly impeachment crazy when President Donald Trump was in office. They literally impeached him twice for doing basically nothing.
So when Biden actually does something that many deem impeachable, McConnell is there to try and water down the flames. It makes some wonder why he didn't have that type of stance when Trump was facing impeachment.
Waiting for Next Year
If Republicans take back control of the House next year, it seems plausible that the impeachment of Biden could happen.
McConnell said that Republicans should focus on the midterms.
"The report card you get is every two years," McConnell said. "I think the way these behaviors get adjusted in this country is at the ballot box."
"I do think we're likely to see a typical kind of midterm reaction to a new administration. … Typically there is some buyer's remorse," he added.

Andy Murray's Australian Open run ends in battling defeat to Bautista Agut | Australian Open 2023
A day and a half after seemingly dragging his body to its limits, Andy Murray was back and at it again. He started his third-round match a shadow of himself, barely even able to move, but then he loosened up. He began to play. One fist pump at a time, he let every single onlooker know. Somehow, he ended up snatching a set for himself.
It was a thrilling last stand that encapsulated his resilience and grit, but it was not enough. As Murray's immense workload finally caught up with him, his resurgent Australian Open came to an end as he fell 6-1, 6-7(7), 6-3, 6-4 to Roberto Bautista Agut.
Afterwards Murray said that he felt mixed emotions but he was proud of how he handled himself throughout the week. "I feel like I gave everything that I had to this event. So I'm proud of that. That is really, whatever you're doing, all you can do. You can't always control the outcome. You can't control how well you're going to play or the result. You can control the effort that you put into it, and I gave everything that I had the last three matches."
Before the redux of the classic 2019 matchup that nearly retired Murray, which Bautista Agut won in five sets, the only important question was just how well, if at all, Murray could recover. Between his unforgettable five-set wins over Matteo Berrettini, the 13th seed, and Thanasi Kokkinakis, he had been on court for 10 hours and 34 minutes.
In the early stages, the spectacle was grim. Murray continually clutched parts of his body and he moved almost at walking pace. When he attempted to rush the net, he watched passing shots fly by him before he had even reached the service line. Murray said that although he did not feel terribly tired in his legs, he was struggling with his lower back after playing so much tennis. Between points, his discomfort was clear.
"I couldn't really extend on my serves," he said. "I couldn't hit a kick serve. I couldn't really sort of extend my back on the serve to generate much power on the first serve."
Murray won just one point in the opening three games and Bautista Agut breezed through the opening set. The Spaniard then broke serve for a 6-1, 2-1 lead after Murray's legs crumpled on a second serve, leading to a double fault.
Even in those early stages, when his prospects seemed hopeless, Murray fought desperately. When he clinched his first game at 1-3, he vigorously pumped his fist to the roaring crowd. Each of his few tiny victories were celebrated with outsized cheers. His passion rallied the Margaret Court Arena crowd, whose screams soundtracked every successful move.
One of the fascinating spectacles in tennis is the mental stress that an injured or physically compromised player can cause to an opponent. The pressure, from Murray and the crowd alike, slowly seeped inside Bautista Agut and, as he tightened up, Murray's shoulders opened.
"I think he knows well how to play a Grand Slam match," said Bautista Agut. "He understands the game very well, and he knows how to play with a crowd, how to play with the nerves of the opponent."

Powered by adrenaline and pure desire, Murray pulled off some absurd shotmaking, pounding running forehands and delicate drop shots while even outlasting Bautista Agut in long, high-octane rallies. From 2-4 down, Murray forced a tie-break and he won it with two breathless rallies with outlandish drop shots and upon stealing the set, Murray stared out at his audience with his hands on his hips, his face a picture of utter disbelief as he received a standing ovation.
But Bautista Agut regained his composure and reverted to type, interrogating Murray's movement and shot tolerance. Even as Murray's legs began to fail him once more, his service speeds cascading as he stumbled out of groundstrokes, he fought and forced Bautista Agut to play at a high level to take the match. He did, striking 50 winners to just 29 unforced errors, holding his nerve in the important moments and succeeding where many other players would have failed.
Once the dust settles after a difficult ending, there will be even more positives for the former world No 1 to take from his run. He showed once more that he is playing quality tennis, he is capable of competing with and defeating the best players in the world, and he should look towards the rest of his season with his head held high.
"I can have a deeper run than the third round of a slam, there's no question about that," said Murray. "Obviously draws can open up for you. I need to also help myself with that. If I was playing at this level last year, I probably wouldn't be ranked 50, 60 in the world. It's up to me to try and change that."

Despite his lower-back complaints, Murray believes he will be fine with a short period of rest. He is next planning to compete in Rotterdam, which begins on 11th February, and he will hope that his momentum continues to build.
Earlier, Dan Evans bowed out in the third round to Andrey Rublev, the fifth seed, who played an excellent match to power through Evans in straight sets, winning 6-4, 6-2, 6-3.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The suspect in an attack that killed four people at a Waffle House restaurant in Tennessee was arrested Monday not far from his apartment, police said.
Metropolitan Nashville Police announced Monday on Twitter that he was taken into custody not far from his apartment. Photos posted by police in Nashville showed Reinking clothed and in a police car.
Police say about 20 people were in the Waffle House at the time of the shootings. They included people of different races and ethnicities, but the four people killed were minorities: three black and one Hispanic.
It's not clear why Reinking opened fire on restaurant patrons, though he may have "mental issues," Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief Steve Anderson said earlier. He was considered armed and dangerous, because he was known to have owned a handgun authorities have not recovered.
In May 2016, Reinking told deputies from Tazewell County that music superstar Taylor Swift was stalking him and hacking his phone, and that his family was also involved, according to a report released Sunday.
Another sheriff's report said Reinking barged into a community pool in Tremont last June, and jumped into the water wearing a pink woman's coat over his underwear. Investigators believed he had an AR-15 rifle in his car trunk, but it was never displayed. No charges were filed.
It is not clear why Reinking moved recently from Morton, outside Peoria, and if it had anything to do with being near Swift, who has a home in Nashville. Police say he worked in construction for a while.


An esoteric-themed collection with a touch of magic, the surreal, and inventive contraptions we rarely see in reality, but possibly in dreams.
Speaks right into the heart of our inner castles. Reflecting on the designs apts to open portals; we may 'escape' for a bit.
"Hide old pillows, don't throw them away"


I had ground cooked lamb seasoned and wrapped in a thin pastry in Marseille recently. I think it must have been deep fried, though, like egg rolls. In any case this was very very tasty. Dim sum is steamed and is good. Your recipe looks fun to try :). I'll share it on my facebook page for other foodie fans.

Hyde Park On Hudson Review
By Rich Cline
The breezy, entertaining tone of this historical comedy-drama kind of undermines the fact that it centres on one of the most pivotal moments in US-British history. Director Michell (Notting Hill) knows how to keep an audience engaged, and yet he indulges in both tawdry innuendo and silly cliches, never giving the real-life events a proper sense of perspective. Even so, some terrific performances make it enjoyable.
The events in question take place in 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Murray) invites Britain's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (West and Colman) to visit Hyde Park, the upstate New York residence he shares with his mother (Wilson), while his wife Eleanor (Williams) lives down the road with her "she-male" friends. Roosevelt knows that George is here to ask for help against the growing threat of Hitler's Germany, and as a result of their talks a "special relationship" develops between America and Britain. Meanwhile, the womanising Roosevelt is not-so-quietly having an affair with his distant cousin and confidant Daisy (Linney).
Essentially there are two films here fighting for our attention. Much of the story is seen through Daisy's eyes, complete with an annoyingly mousy voiceover that never tells us anything we can't see on screen. Linney underplays the character to the point where we barely notice that she's in the room, and the depiction of Daisy's romance with FDR is often squirm-inducing. By contrast, the other aspect of the plot is fascinating, with West and especially Colman shining in their roles as witty, nervous Brits trying to make the most of the first ever visit of a British monarch to America. Their steely resolve is brilliantly undermined by their brittle nerves and endless curiosity.

Hyde Park On Hudson Trailer
'Hyde Park On Hudson' is the story of the 32nd President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his growing love affair with his soon to be mistress Daisy. In the summer of 1949, Roosevelt decides to invite the reigning monarchs of England King George VI and Queen Elizabeth over to America for their first ever trans-Atlantic trip - incidentally, the first trip to America any English monarch has ever made. The President's friends, colleagues and family rally together to create a fun and interesting weekend for the Royals despite their unfamiliarity with proper royal protocol such as knowing the proper way to address the King and Queen. Nonetheless, the royals remain polite and do their best to cover up their nervousness and lack of experience of American culture as war with Germany is imminent and they may need someone to turn to.
This partially biographical and downright comical drama has been told in the shoes of Daisy and takes place only months before World War II broke out. 'Hyde Park on Hudson' has been directed by Roger Michell ('Notting Hill', 'Changing Lanes', 'Morning Glory') and written by Richard Nelson ('Ethan Frome') and is set to hit cinemas from February 1st 2013.
Starring:Bill Murray, Laura Linney, Olivia Colman, Elizabeth Marvel, Elizabeth Wilson, Eleanor Bron, Olivia Williams, Blake Ritson, Jonathan Brewer, Martin McDougall & Tim Beckmann.
The Heart Of Me Review
By Jules Brenner
The British love their melodramas. The makers of this one seem to have lost sight of when having too much of it becomes boring and burdensome. Based on a 1953 novel called The Echoing Grove by Rosamond Lehmann, the style of sentimentality brought to intense levels of angst amid constricting mores seems aimed at audiences of that era. As a new release, Lucinda Coxon's screenplay is likely to foster ennui well before it reaches its climax (no pun intended).
The plot is thin, if not threadbare, presenting the too-oft-seen love triangle. Perhaps the notion of a pair of sisters in love (in their particular ways) with one's husband seemed like an original idea, but it comes off as derivative and tedious. Paul Bettany, who played Chaucer in A Knight's Tale and John Nash's imaginary roommate in A Beautiful Mind, takes on the colorless banker-husband-lover Rickie, the object of the sisters' desires. Stuffy though he may be, we understand why he's prone to stray from his wife, Madeleine (Olivia Williams), a caustic and chilly socialite who criticizes her younger sister with haughty superiority. She seems to think that there's something wrong with Dinah (Helena Bonham Carter) for remaining unmarried and free-spirited when, as we see it, Dinah is the more attractive and sensual of the two.

The House Of Mirth Review
By Rob Blackwelder
Director Terrence Davies took a chance casting "The X-Files'" Gillian Anderson as the devastated heroine in his adaptation of "The House of Mirth," Edith Wharton's corset opera of turn-of-the-Century social politics.
But in her first 20 seconds on screen -- speaking in deliciously eloquent dialogue and looking stunning in plumed hats with veils, fur collared dresses, brooches and a parasol -- she erases any and all memory of Agent Scully, the TV alter-ego you probably thought would haunt the actress for the rest of her career.
A drawing room drama about the whispered politics and wily business of marriage in New York high society, the film is about a beautiful young socialite whose life becomes hampered with scandal, in part because she can't reconcile her heart with the fact that she must marry well to maintain her station.

All over Europe, artist-artisans are using techniques and knowledge passed down over centuries to create stunning contemporary works that reflect their local environment.
•	In the renowned ceramics town of Faenza, Italy, ceramicist Marta Gatti Servadei uses a special reflection technique invented by her great-uncle more than 90 years ago, a technique that is unique to the region and remains a closely guarded secret.
•	In Holland, leather worker Sebastiaan van Soest gilds leather with silver leaf and varnish, upholding a tradition that began in the northern Netherlands in the 17th century.
•	In County Galway, Ireland, Joe Hogan uses the willow trees around Loch na Fooey to continue the art of basketweaving that has been part of the area's culture for thousands of years.
Hundreds of exceptional works created by some 150 artist-artisans from all over Europe will be on display in Venice this September in the Homo Faber exhibit Best of Europe, stunningly displayed in a room envisioned and designed by renowned Italian architect Stefano Boeri.
Each beautiful piece has been designed and executed by a single creative talent working in Europe today. They have been carefully selected for the exhibit by curator and gallerist Jean Blanchaert, who sought not only to showcase examples of European creativity and craftsmanship at the very highest level, but to demonstrate the diversity of Europe's artistic heritage, as contemporary artisans draw on traditional techniques and materials that are firmly rooted in their homeland.
Just as an accent links a person to a place, or a fine wine reflects its terroir, so this collection of works echoes the DNA of the very earth where it was created. In Volterra, Italy, an artisan creates elaborately decorative vases from alabaster, a material that has been mined in the area for 3,000 years; and in Ubrique, Spain, a master leatherworker designs and makes contemporary leather objects incorporating his village's old stone streets in the process of creation. Each of these 150 artist-artisans has immense respect for the past while striving to develop and innovate, taking ancient skills with them into the future.
Together, these fascinating objects tell a story of Europe, reflecting the richness of culture, history, landscape, know-how and skills that make up this incredibly diverse continent.
"In Europe the accent, the wine and the food changes every 30-40 miles. And so do the skills and techniques in craftsmanship." – Jean Blanchaert.
As well as viewing the beautiful objects on display, visitors will also have the rare opportunity to see selected artist-artisans working in situ exclusively for the exhibit, showcasing techniques including metal working, engraving, stone carving and basket making.
Best of Europe is one of 16 exhibits that make up Homo Faber: Crafting a more human future, a major new exhibition celebrating European craftsmanship, organised by the Michelangelo Foundation.

Several major collections of surface meteorological observations are
The Global Surface Network (GSN): The GSN provides a global reference network of land surface observation stations and mid-oceanic islands that can be used to detect and quantify aspects of climate change. The network has an approximate density of one station per 250,000 square kilometers. It is optimized for temperature observations and for suitability of stations for climate analysis.
The Integrated Surface Database (ISD): contains the full suite of meteorological variables (e.g., temperature, precipitation, winds) from land stations.
The International Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) 1662-present: contains the full suite of meteorological variables and also sea surface temperature from marine platforms such as ships and buoys.
The International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) 1851-present: contains tropical cyclone location and intensity reports from around the world.
The International Surface Pressure Databank (ISPD) 1722-2015: contains surface and sea level pressure observations from three components: land (largely from ISD and also 65 other national and international collections of pressure observations), marine (largely from ICOADS), and tropical cyclone pressure reports from IBTrACS. Discussion Page.
Annual Maps of the ISPD latest version station component can be browsed at http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/ISPD/
The International Surface Temperature Initiative surfacetemperatures.org is assembling station temperature and other meterological variables with an emphasis on traceability and provenance through development of a global land surface databank.

Re: Surface
macbenoy (not verified)
Gil, I know I cleared this query under private cover, but herewith for the record: The two maps you refer to came from different meteorologists.- the large coloured one done under the management of Charles Todd, Astronomer and Meteorological Observer of the Colony of South Australia, while the newsprint map was done by his equal, Ellery (I believe), of the Colony of New South Wales. There were 6 colonies until Australian Federation in 1901 and each ran its own Met Service. (the true date was about 1909 when the Federation process got around to fully integrating these services). I suppose the take on these synoptic charts is the difference of interpretations of the data. It's a topic that contemporary Australian forecasters can discuss endlessly between each of the (now) States - all taking their slant on the "true synoptic situation". However, I have to admit that the two maps you have identified here seemingly have major differences. Not being qualified to comment, I leave it to my betters to judge the two meteorologists involved. On the Todd map, you can actually read the datapoints that both men would have used to construct their charts, so the data is there for contemporary analysis. And, of course, we have digitised a large amount of this data and it now resides in the ISPD.
mbenoy
There is no difference between the B&W and colour maps of the same date - they are the same page. In our workflow, if a page contained printed text, it was scanned (slow) for later OCR. If it contained graphics (eg. synoptic chart) it was photographed (fast) to retain the colour copy..... thus there is redundancy in the images. I will send you under separate cover a pdf of the manifest and post it to charlestodd.net at a later date.
Mac Benoy
In reply to Re: Surface by mbenoy
Mac, The B&W and colour maps are visibly different. Do know what the original sources of the B&W maps are? Who drew those? Did the B&W maps have the same input stations, or did the coloured maps have more? Presumably, Todd and his team drew the colored maps. Was the B&W map their preliminary analysis made in time for newspaper publication while the coloured map is a post analysis (a reanalysis!) done as more observations became available? thanks, gil
Sir Charles Todd Weather Folios, different maps

Todd Project team, On many of the pages, there is more than one map of Australia and the contours are different. For example, at http://www.charlestodd.net/Todd_Hi-Res/1886/18860121c_hi-res.jpg what is the difference in the source between the apparent newspaper printed black and white map and the hand-drawn map with red isobars? Also, could the Manifest at http://www.charlestodd.net/Todd_Hi-Res/index1_html_files/Series%20description%20-%20for%20portable%20disk%20copies.jpg be made into a PDF?
