(Edmonton) While Irish is an endangered language it still produces a profound amount of literature, says Jerry White, University of Alberta English and film studies professor, who will present the three-day Broadus Lectures beginning Tuesday, March 21, examining the history of Gaelic, the current state of the language and the prospect of bilingualism in Ireland.
White says few people have access to Irish literature and thus it remains mostly hidden from the world. He says he wants to change that and reveal the tome of Irish literature. "The Irish language is an imperiled language, but it is not dead. People still speak it as a genuine native language in communities in Ireland. I want to encourage people to think of Gaelic as a modern language, one that people are still using to write interesting literature—a fact not widely known even within Irish studies," he says.
To illustrate the currency of the language, in his lectures White will discuss two Irish writers, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, a poet, and Éilís Ní Dhuibhne, a novelist. He says their works address present-day issues facing Ireland.
"They're writing about the role of the city, the changing nature of rural life, the complexities of tradition and modernity and dealing with the difficulties of enunciating a national identity. They are not writing about folklore, the past or timeless landscapes. And so that's a contribution to bringing the language into the modern era and to keeping it alive and contemporary," says White.
Dhomhnaill and Dhuibhne are continuing an Irish tradition, which is to make a significant contribution to English literature. "Irish has made important contributions to European modernism and not only in English but in Irish as well. The literature in Irish doesn't get talked about much because it is hidden in Irish and because important Irish literature is not readily translated into English," he said.
He cites a novel by Máirtín Ó Cadhain, whose Cré na Cille (The Churchyard clay), published in 1949, which he says is as rich a text as Joyce's Ulysses. White says making Irish literature more accessible would profoundly change what we now know about Irish literature.
Such a shift will require changing the attitudes people have about Irish, a language still spoken by about one per cent of the people in Ireland, says White. He says the government in Ireland has been promoting bilingualism for the past 10 years but opinions about the language are polarized.
White says bilingualism could help revive Irish but there are other considerations. "What will save the language now is decoupling it from cultural or ethnic nationalism. There is a lot of issue about immigration now in Ireland. The Irish language has been a tool for cultural nationalism for a long time as a way of helping people express their Irishness. While that may have been useful 100 years ago, I'm not at all convinced that it's useful now.
"I reject the idea that language and ethnicity go hand in hand. It would help if people can be convinced that reviving the language is not about ethnicity," he said.
The lecture series wraps up on Friday with a reception at Humanities Centre Lecture Theatre 1. White says he hopes the series gives people a new sense about Irish literature.
"I'd like people to understand from the lectures that Ireland has two literary languages, both of which are doing OK. I also want people to get a sense that literature written in Irish is quite accessible even to people who don't read the language. A lot of the material has been translated and is interesting and worth paying attention to," he said.

Blizzard release World of Warcraft Classic content plan
By Gergana Stamenova eSports 12 Mar 2019
At last year's BlizzCon, Blizzard announced World of Warcraft Classic, also known as Vanilla WoW, a separate server that would hold the game as it came out 15 years ago. Now, a blue forum post has detailed what to expect and in what order.
Fans had been hoping for a classic WoW server for years, even begging the admins on the forums. When Blizzard announced that the wish of many was coming through the community was ecstatic. Even those who had quit the game vowed to return and relive the glory of the most legendary MMORPG of all time. Yes, even the Barrens chat.
Official information has been somewhat scarce, though. We know the release date should be "sometime in summer 2019", but this is always subject to changes and delays. We get a glimpse of the many challenges the devs are facing in a blue forum post. The post also detailed the content plan for releasing instances and raids for WoW Classic.
Initially, the plan had been to roll out four consecutive phases of content. However, Blizzard listened to player feedback and extended their plan to include six phases. This is great for us users who will enjoy more content, but also complicates things.
You see, classic World of Warcraft was very much unlike its later expansions. Back in 2004, getting to Level 60 was an enormous part of the game, and reaching max level was considered a serious achievement. Going to raids was a very serious endeavor, as some instances required 40 people to complete, and were very demanding in terms of tactics and gear. The game focused more on the journey and not the destination, if you will.
This means several things: first, the gear that drops during leveling up, especially around the higher levels, is absolutely essential for the character, as it is an entry point into early raiding. Rare and Epic rarity items used to be... well, really rare. Legendary items took an eternity to make and anyone seen with a legendary attracted a huge crowd. For the Blizzard WoW team to achieve such conditions again, it would mean they'd have to release the raids and dungeons at a very specific order.
In early WoW, there was no item level, so gear was judged based on its stats and which instance it came from. You'd climb instances like a ladder, gearing up for the next level of difficulty. So, Blizzard have decided to roll out the content in a fashion similar to how it happened back in 2004 and analyze how loot affects progression:
"Along the way, we've taken a close look at items that provide the biggest power gains, many of which were introduced in 1.10 as part of a sweeping dungeon itemization pass. That patch was when Tier 0.5 gear was introduced, and Relics were added to the drop tables of many bosses. It also adjusted drop rates and drop locations of a lot of gear (to make room for the Relics). We've gone back and reconstructed many of the most heavily affected drop tables as they existed prior to the 1.10 patch, and we're planning to update the drop tables alongside the Ahn'Qiraj War Effort"
One of the first raids we're going to see is Onyxia's Lair. Prepare for handling many whelps, being feared into eggs and fire, oh so much fire.
Here's the full schedule from the blue post:
Phase 1 (Classic Launch)
Azuregos
Blackwing Lair
Darkmoon deck drops begin
Zul'Gurub
Ahn'Qiraj War Effort begins
Ahn'Qiraj raids open when the war effort dictates
Dungeon loot reconfiguration: Tier 0.5 Dungeon gear, Relics, drop rates and location changes
Scourge Invasion
As you can see, the order has changed somewhat compared to Vanilla WoW. The Green Dragons come before Ahn'Quiraj specifically because they drop Nature Resistance gear, a must-have in AQ. Also, Dire Maul has been delayed – the reason for this seems to be the loot drops from there are so good they would render earlier content meaningless.
From the list above, though, every single instance is worth it, so we can't wait to close the blinds, get together with 40 other fans and go stomp on some bosses.

Mid January 2015, Emergent Ventures International issued the first Social Carbon & VCS credits in India. The project, co-developed with Carbon Clear, a UK based developer, has successfully finalized its verification process by the end of the 2014.
The 15,000 tons generated by this 4.50 MW small hydro, run of the river project developed in the state of Karnataka has been transferred using the international registry APX.
On this recent achievement, the co-developers express their satisfaction. Developing "first of its kind" projects have various advantages. It diversifies the supply market and address a positive message to both buyers and developers that the voluntary carbon markets can still offer niche opportunities; it generates very strong connection between the project owner and the final buyer who has the chance to visit the project, meet and interview the workers, understand the challenges faced by the project and visualize the impact that the purchase of the carbon credits have on the viability of the project.
The realization of a unique project also enables the creation of value where price competition loose part of its sense as no other projects is identical. EVI is proud of the results and look forward to analyze further opportunities of this kind in India or elsewhere.
The registration of the project required a one year effort during which EVI worked in cooperation with Social Carbon Standard to generate the Zero Point report, identify quantifiable social repercussions, define the limits of the project, justify the sustainability of the technology.
The local populations were also involved during the process to express their questions and share their views. The project has been developed in respect of the rules and guidelines from the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Social Carbon Standard.
EVI is an experienced carbon developer with a portfolio of more than 150 projects registered and a portfolio of more than 20 millions credits under management.

It is a healthy occupation for a dog to self settle / entertain itself some of the time.
Teaching pups to use a chew toy is a great idea that the dog can keep for life.
This often reduces or even eliminates puppies or older dogs chewing your belongings, so they are great value!
No dog toy is indestructible, you should supervise your dog playing with this toy at first and ensure your dog cannot chew it up.

The view from Golf del Sur
Dave Thomas October 4, 2016 The view from Golf del Sur2016-10-04T11:40:43+00:00 Dave Thomas
It was the week of The Great Storm in Burnley, a storm of epic and biblical proportions, with enough lightening to light up the living rooms so you could read. In the olden days my Granny used to say switch all the lights off or it will hit our house. We always switched off the radio – there were few TVs back then. It was an understatement to say it was spectacular; some people thought the world was ending and hid under the bedcovers; others sat and watched it in awe. Earby was flooded. Electrics went off all over the place; nearly 70,000 homes without power. No end of people posted they were having dinner by candlelight and with no telly had to talk to each other. The storm hit Leeds as well but not badly enough to prevent Leeds beating Blackburn 2-1 thus maintaining the impressive Rovers 100% record of not having won a game yet.
Meanwhile there were all kinds of electoral boundary changes going on with a reduction in the number of constituencies designed to reduce all opposition to the Tories. Lancashire would be just one new giant constituency called 'oop north.' The Labour Party meanwhile was beating itself to death.
But we were off to Tenerife for a couple of weeks to soak up some sun. We were relieved just to get to the airport after an unusually hair-raising drive there of just three or four miles. The driver this time was West Indian and called Winston. He'd obviously learned to drive in Turkey, speeding up the ring road, overtaking everything in front of him, dreadlocks flowing out behind him in the slipstream, cursing every other driver slowing him down, and all this with loud reggae music blasting from the speakers.
In the trade, these flights to the sun at this time of year are known as pensioner specials; once in the air as soon as the seat belt signs went off the short stampede to the loo was a sight to behold, it was every bladder for himself. Turbulence and wind was a big problem, but outside the plane conditions were fine.
The kindly Villa owners had installed SKY TV so there was no problem keeping up with the footie news the latest being we were interested in signing free agent Stephane Sessegnon. Our little 'village' at Golf del Sur is a collection of immaculate villas and bungalows in beautifully maintained lawned grounds, all around a huge central pool and restaurant. The verdant golf course where Hoopoes are visible, wraps itself around the village.
At this time of year there are few if any children on these planes to the sun; they were back at school, so the population was essentially elderly; it was quiet and peaceful, the silence occasionally punctuated by the click of an artificial knee, the crack of a displaced hip or the clink of someone's teeth falling out into their wine glass. Signs pointed to the nearest defibrillator. We had no trouble fitting in.
The day after we arrived, the airwaves were in meltdown not so much at the Leicester result per se, but at the lukewarm Burnley performance with Gray as the lone striker in the 4-5-1 formation. 'They've nothing much to offer,' summarised Charlie Nicholas if I deciphered his mumbling accent right.
'It was four minutes madness either side of half-time,' said Sean D. It looked a bit more than that with Mahrez in full mesmerising flow several times; tormenting defenders like a sadistic cat torments a mouse.
There was so much happening while we were there. If Joey B thought Monday was a bad day, banned by Rangers for 3 weeks, it took a turn for the worse when he was suspected of betting irregularities. If he'd had an exemplary season at Burnley and entered the Turf Moor Hall of Fame, his Scottish adventure was turning decidedly sour. He was man of the moment sadly for the wrong reasons and media coverage was widespread with one interview hinting that he wished he'd stayed at Burnley.
But news like this, or the Burnley defeat at Leicester, was soon diluted when the entertainment for the evening on the small stage by the restaurant was an Abba tribute band. They were good too, belting out their stuff and had us all up dancing despite our average age being somewhere around 70 and the day's conversation tending to centre on varicose veins and knee replacements. But 60 or so septuagenarians doing their stuff makes for an awesome sight. Don't forget we cut our teeth on the jitterbug and the twist. Even us oldies can twerk.
One such oldie was in a villa just a few doors from us. He'd apparently been there a few years. The story we heard that he had arrived as a friend and a houseguest of the villa owner. But when the villa owner sadly died, the guest (who I suppose had better remain nameless) agreed to stay there a little while longer to look after the villa while the will was sorted out. That was something like 4 years ago but there were problems with the executors, disputes and stuff, and sorting things out, so (let's call him Robin) is still there sunning himself and all for free, very happy and very content. And who can blame him? Every day he sits at the tables in the sun with a beer and by now has learned all the answers to the 2 o clock quiz questions so very kindly helped Mrs T to win a bottle of champers one day. I use the word 'champers 'loosely. Second prize is two bottles.
Joey B's name continued meanwhile to appear in the news with the appearance of his new book imminent. Most reviews mentioned his story that as a young lad his father made him watch as he killed the Alsatian that had bitten him. Every hack in the business continued to dissect and analyse him but while this was going on we took a trip up into the mountains to a winery for some serious wine tasting. We learned all about the 5 s's. Once the wine is in the glass you see… swirl… sniff… sample and spit. I won the spitting competition comfortably. 5 glasses of wine later the journey back down the mountain hairpin bends at 60 in the minibus was just a blur and seemed quite pleasant.
Football moved on quickly though to its next victim and Joey B would soon be replaced by other news. The weekend of the Burnley Watford game: Burnley wouldn't play until the Monday but now it was Andre Gray in the news with his 4-match ban and £25,000 fine for his tweets. Of course they were hideous but it seemed a harsh punishment and that view would increase further by the end of the week. This PC stuff is everywhere now – or is it? Every evening during the Happy Hour bingo session our camp jester (camp as in holiday camp, not limp wrists) gets to 88 and without fail calls out TWO FAT LADIES with great relish. And we all cringe and look at each other and nudge and snigger and whisper, 'did you 'ear what 'e just said?'
Anyway: I'd had a swim, was sitting with a coffee and Rachel the leggy model was doing her mid-morning fashion show round the edge of the pool. Slim and elegant with a figure like it's been poured from a bottle of Moet Chandon, clothes on chairs at intervals round the edge of the pool for her to smoothly change into, she struts her stuff in front of the watching ladies on their sunbeds. Alas most of these rather large ladies probably last saw a size 10 dress when Maggie Thatcher was our reigning monarch but still enjoy the show probably thinking ooh I'd look nice in that.
It's a time of morning when the aroma of bacon and eggs and a Full English drift mercilessly across the tables whilst I read the paper and now it was Mourhino in the news because things aren't all that clever at Man U and he too has a new book coming out. The 'Special One' seems more like the 'Miserable One' these days. His ghastly performance on the SKY Sunday morning sofa two seasons ago remains imprinted in our memories.
On the Friday before the Watford game we met up with Burnley chums a few miles along the coast at El Medina, lunching splendidly at a pastel-coloured shoebox sized restaurant by the old harbour front, the Playa Chica. We ate under the awning outside and the table groaned with the plates that kept coming out and dishes to die for. We went the whole hog with fish croquettes, fried cheese, garlic mushrooms, fried baby octopus, prawns, whitebait, crusty bread and great bowls of potatoes all washed down with bottles of wine and jugs of sangria. We chatted away and shook our heads at the punishment meted out to Andre Gray. There's PC and there's common sense said Sean D, but common sense is all too often in short supply.
Later in the week it was the Sam Allardyce news and resignation that had us open-mouthed. Barton was yesterday's news, Mourhino was yesterday's news; Gray was yesterday's news. But the two punishments had us talking more.
A young bloke puts out some senseless and offensive tweets and is £25,000 worse off. The England football manager walks away from his transgressions, admittedly minus his job, but reportedly over a £million better off as an inducement to walk away quietly. (And of course a lucrative book deal was in the offing.) And then there was the bloke, Jonathan Theobald from Peterborough, who let his three dogs boil to death inside a furnace of a car with no windows open when he left them and all he receives is a slap on the wrist and a fine of £365. It's a topsy turvy world we live in.
Our Burnley chums came over to our little 'village' from El Medina for the day of the Watford game. We watched on the restaurant big screen while we consumed great plates of beef stroganoff. The roar from us all when the first goal went in nearly brought the roof down.
If there were grave reviews after Leicester there were only rave reviews after this game. They bullied us out of the game said Watford's Troy Deeney, which simply means Burnley were up for it, and Watford were simply the team from the south with all their imported Latin players, with no stomach for a night in the rain and cold of Burnley oop north. At least to us in our shirtsleeves it looked like cold and rain on our TV screen as we saw folks sitting in anoraks and coats.
It was 4-5-1 again but with Gray suspended it was Vokes up front on his own and in his element winning the ball, holding it, laying it off and was one of the MOTM candidates. Goalscorer he may be but Gray is not a target man and his suspension meant there was only one candidate for the role. Ironically, the suspension made Dyche's selection job a tad easier.
A few days later Phil Thomson reviewed the game ecstatically, purring over Burnley's performance and in particular Stephan Defour and his two assists. Paul Merson for once, was not scathing about Burnley when he previewed the forthcoming game against Arsenal. All were agreed that Arsenal were currently on fire but could just as likely go to Burnley and lose 1-0.
But if Leicester was a no-show the display against Watford was superb with any one of half a dozen players being a possible man-of-the-match. Keane, with Chelsea making public their interest in him, scored from a Defour cross and Hendrick from a Defour corner. Watford were made to look decidedly ordinary. Geed up by our raucous support, everyone in the restaurant by the end was watching the game, either avidly or out of the corner of their eye. There were fans there from Leeds and Villa decidedly envious. A Spurs fan chatted away the day after about how his dad remembered all the great Spurs Burnley games of the early 60s.
Burnley's newest fan up in Dunfermline would have been very pleased. He'd been to the Burnley Liverpool game and wrote:
'I'm a lifelong Dunfermline fan and was at Turf Moor for Burnley versus Liverpool. What a great club Burnley are, a real inspiration to small town clubs like ourselves. A very proud and chequered history, and like us, a small club that punched above its weight in the 60s. You also consider Blackburn Rovers along the road to be insignificant, like Raith Rovers in our case. Walking around Burnley on the morning of the game, every second person seemed to be wearing a claret top. Oh to see the same thing in Dunfermline but here the gruesome twosome of Celtic and Rangers hoover up the glory hunters in big numbers. I wonder if we at Dunfermline could learn anything from you as we rebuild after the trauma of administration three years ago. Burnley is a club that seems to have its fans' best interests at heart. Are there any tips on how you've been so successful in drawing such an impressive support from your local community?
As for the Liverpool game, Sean Dyche is a genius. Three shots on target, 19% possession, but Burnley stuck to their game plan, and seldom looked flustered. The number 5 was brilliant, great fans, friendly too, lots of singing, lots of different songs and lots of noise all through the game; absolutely loved it. I've no connection to the town or affiliation to the club but really enjoyed my visit and it's left a big impression; kind of wish I was going today.
21,000 would indeed be there to see the Arsenal game and Wenger's 20th anniversary as manager. Leaving the warm sun and blue skies of Tenerife behind, at least had one consolation; we were back for the game. And: to our great relief it wasn't the manic Winston who drove us back home from the airport.

Happiness is a good cigar
Cuban Cigars – Why Are They Illegal?
May 15, 2008 By Winston
Though there are countless choices for excellent cigars, there is no doubt that when the Cuban cigar is mentioned, the heart of cigar lovers suddenly starts beating much faster. Yet the fact is that Cuban cigars are illegal in the United States. Do you know how this came to be?
Older cigar smokers may be familiar with the story behind the embargo but for the younger ones, here is a bit of history (thanks to About.com):
Way back in February of 1962, President John F. Kennedy established a trade embargo against Cuba to sanction Fidel Castro's communist regime, which seized control of the island in 1959, and then began to confiscate private property and other assets (including cigar companies).
Castro continued to be a thorn in the side of the United States. In October of 1962, during the height of the Cold War, he permitted the Soviets to construct missile bases on the island capable of striking the Untied States. The U.S. responded with a blockade of Cuba to prevent Soviet ships from delivering the materials to complete the project (not to be confused with the Cuban Trade Embargo, which started in February 1962).
As long as Fidel Castro still lives and Cuba's government is still communist, the Cuban Trade Embargo is expected to remain in effect, despite efforts by some who are trying to build support for lifting the ban. In fact, the embargo was made even more restrictive in 2004. United States citizens cannot legally acquire or consume Cuban cigars, even while traveling abroad. This may be a law that is impractical to enforce, but it is still the law. There are substantial fines and penalties for violators, who are at a higher risk of being nabbed if they attempt to bring Cuban products (especially in large quantities) into the United States.
As you can see, this is not a question of quality or safety but of politics. As the French say, c'est la vie!

Bringing Out the Cigar when a Baby Boy is Born
Traditions call for fathers to distribute cigars even if they would not be lit once a newborn baby boy comes out. This has been passed off from the early generations a symbol of manhood to which fathers would usually be proud once a boy would be born to them.
There is no definite reason why such has been practiced, but to this day, cigars have been considered a form of announcing the arrival of a baby boy. The cigars passed do not have to be the quality cigars. They are merely distributed for the reason of announcing the arrival of the baby boy and not really to be smoked as what cigars are known to be for.
So the next time you find yourself getting a baby boy, consider that cigars are mainly acts of souvenirs and not really for appeasing the people who share the light moments of being a proud father. Any form of cigar will do just to announce that you are a father of a healthy bouncing baby boy!

Purdue Frederick pleads guilty in OxyContin case
Purdue Frederick Co. and three individuals pleaded guilty to charges of misbranding prescription painkiller OxyContin and will pay more than $634.5 million in penalties, the U.S. Justice Department said on Thursday. The company pleaded guilty to felony misbranding of OxyContin with the intent to defraud and mislead, while its president, chief legal officer and former chief medical officer pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of misbranding, the government said in a statement.
The Stamford, Connecticut-based company and three executives admitted that they falsely claimed OxyContin was less addictive, less subject to abuse, and less likely to cause withdrawal symptoms than rival pain medications.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration had not approved those claims.
"Purdue (Frederick) put its desire to sell OxyContin above the interests of the public," Assistant Attorney General Peter Keisler said in a statement. "Purdue abused the drug approval process which relies on drug manufacturers to be forthright in reporting clinical data and, instead, misled physicians about the addiction and withdrawal issues involved with OxyContin."
OxyContin, prescribed for patients with moderate to severe pain, is now regulated as a controlled substance with the same addictive potential as morphine.
Of the $634.5 million settlement, $276 million will be forfeited to the United States, $160 million allocated to federal and state government agencies to resolve false claims for government healthcare programs and $130 million will go to resolving private civil claims.
Additional amounts will be paid to the Virginia Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the Virginia Prescription Monitoring program.
The guilty pleas follow a $19.5 million settlement the related manufacturer of OxyContin, Purdue Pharma LP, made with 26 states and the District of Columbia this week over allegations it failed to adequately disclose abuse risks posed by the powerful narcotic.
Purdue Pharma had also settled a civil case brought by its insurer in June for $200 million.

Linda's Capsule Summaries
Short, personal, and opinionated views on books, movies, and TV.
Category: Play
Equivocation (play)
August 17, 2009 September 21, 2015 twobbsLeave a comment
post-Festival runs in Seattle (in the fall) and off-Broadway in NY (next spring), there's a chance a production will be coming soon to a venue near you. If it does appear, check it out — this complex and intellectually interesting drama is rare in modern theater.
The premise: Robert Cecil, chief councillor to King James, asks Shakespeare to write a play about the Gunpowder Plot. Shakespeare agrees, but wants to interview the conspirators to get a sense of what happened. What he finds disturb him — there was no tunnel, no gunpowder, maybe even no plot. So Will faces a dilemma — does he write the truth, and likely lose his life, or give Cecil the story he asks for, portraying the plotters as a group of religious terrorists?
The heart of the play is the imagined relationship between Shakespeare and the other members of his acting company — a "cooperative venture" of five men who want to make money producing successful plays, but who want to make art too. We get amusing glimpses of the acting company rehearsing plays that were "works in progress" at the time; much scenery is chewed. We also see Shakespeare interacting with his daughter Judith, who was her father's London housekeeper and who, it is suggested, had more than a little to do with rescuing some of Shakespeare's better efforts from the garbage.
The play is a tour de force for the actors, each of whom play several roles. You never know whether an actor is playing, for example, the actual Lord Cecil or the actor playing Lord Cecil in rehearsals for the "Gunpowder Plot" play. It keeps the audience on its toes.
Towards the end of the play, Shakespeare visits Father Henry Garnet, a Jesuit priest implicated in the plot, in prison. Garnet had written an essay on "equivocation," or the art of telling the truth in difficult circumstances. If you are harboring the king against a foreign enemy, and a soldier of that power comes to your door and asks you to swear that the king is not hiding there, how do you respond? The answer to that dilemma, said Garnet, was to answer the question that was really being asked — in this case, "Can we come in and kill the king?" Garnet used that reasoning to refuse to discuss what he knew of the plot, which he had learned under the seal of the confessional. This type of reasoning, predictably, enraged the English authorities of Shakespeare's day (Garnet was tortured and ultimately executed for treason), but it makes more sense in a post-Rwanda world.
Shakespeare resolves his dilemma by giving Cecil what he really wants — a play about bringing a regicide to justice that will please King James. That play, of course, is Macbeth. Ironically, comments about equivocation in that play (most of which appear in the comedic porter's scene) are usually cut as incomprehensible to a modern audience.
" Faith, here's an equivocator, that could swear in both the scales against either scale; who committed treason enough for God's sake, yet could not equivocate to heaven. (Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 3)
The playwright, Bill Cain, visited the Tower of London and was told that "no one was ever tortured for their religion in the Tower" — a nice piece of equivocation that he tries to rectify with this play.
Amusing historical footnote: Several times in the play, King James refers to Cecil as "Beagle," which I thought was an oblique reference to Karl Rove but apparently was historically accurate. Apparently George W., Bush's bullying nicknames have quite a historical pedigree.

Home/RNJ News/News Department/NJ DEP launches wildlife supporter program to help conserve, enhance wildlife management areas statewide
NJ DEP launches wildlife supporter program to help conserve, enhance wildlife management areas statewide
NEW JERSEY – Nature enthusiasts can help protect habitats and the wildlife that depend on them through a new Department of Environmental Protection Wildlife Supporter program directing contributions to conservation and education efforts across New Jersey's 122 Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), according to Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette.
The new program will create the opportunity to donate to a dedicated conservation fund, which will directly benefit outdoor initiatives, including hiking, birding, boating and wildlife viewing that are available at New Jersey's WMAs.
"DEP land managers, biologists and conservationists manage more than 358,000 acres of natural lands for the benefit of wildlife and the public across DEP's network of Wildlife Management Areas, which provide habitat for numerous species, and endless opportunities for the public to enjoy the beauty of the environment we share," LaTourette said. "As we approach Giving Tuesday on November 30, nature lovers (and those who love them) will have the opportunity to support wildlife and habitat conservation in New Jersey and receive a First Edition Wildlife Supporter decal for their donations, which will help ensure the protection of these priceless lands for future generations."
Created in 2012, Giving Tuesday is recognized as the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving and encourages people to donate to causes they care about.
Donation levels to the Wildlife Habitat Supporter Program start at $10. Contributors who donate $25 or more to the program will receive a first edition collectible decal.
Donations to the program will be dedicated for:
Management and restoration of fish and wildlife habitat;
Enforcement of fish and wildlife regulations;
Restoration and protection of endangered and nongame species;
Fish and wildlife educational programs and signage;
Improved public access to recreational facilities on Wildlife Management Areas.
"The Division of Fish and Wildlife manages more than 358,000 acres in 122 wildlife management areas throughout New Jersey," said Fish and Wildlife Director Dave Golden. "Maintaining these properties for the benefit of wildlife while providing compatible recreational opportunities has traditionally been supported and funded by New Jersey's hunters and anglers. The Wildlife Habitat Supporter program will now allow everyone who enjoys the outdoors to have the opportunity to help fund conservation in the Garden State."
"The conservation of our natural resources is critical to a healthy environment, robust economy and protecting the quality of life in our cities, towns, forests and farms," added New Jersey Audubon President and CEO Eric Stiles. "As a partner on many projects with the DEP, NJ Audubon supports and encourages sound conservation practices. I urge everyone to become a Wildlife Habitat Supporter and be a part of fish, wildlife and habitat conservation in New Jersey."

Pima's mother, Sadna, tells Nailer he's lucky as she cleans his wound from the rusted metal that injured him.
Under his breath, Nailer says he doesn't believe in Fates. Sadna admonishes him, and Nailer nods because Pima's mom is the best thing in his life.
Nailer's worried about infection, and so is Sadna, who tells him to keep it clean and let her know if he gets a fever.
As Sadna cleans up, Nailer looks out the door at the beach and the ship wrecks. His close encounter with death has made him appreciate life that much more, plus he gets some satisfaction that Sloth has been kicked off the light crew for betraying him.
His crew shows up and gives him some booze, which he takes; they decide to make a fire and get drunk to celebrate Nailer's survival.
The crew members talk about the clippers, how it's hard to sail them because of the half-men who protect them and their owners.
Pima says that being smart is more important than luck and tells Nailer to hide the gifts people have given him for being lucky.
Pima is going to outgrow light crew next year and be too small for heavy crew, which means she has few options for work. This is where luck comes in. This is why she says people need to have both smarts and luck, or they'll end up like Sloth.
The crew discuss what's fair versus what's reality, and wish that Pima would have better luck than they know she'll have next year.
Nailer heads home to his hut and finds his father home and awake, and much to his dismay, high and drunk.
His dad (Richard Lopez) asks what happened, and Nailer explains. When Nailer says he lost the filter mask, he realizes that he won't escape his father without a beating, and he's afraid that if this happens, he won't be able to work tomorrow and Bapi will cut him from the light crew.
Nailer offers the booze he got from being lucky—which is a smart move. His father takes it and waves Nailer to bed.


Nearly 600 students enrolled in Jobs for America's Graduates across the 32-state National Network arrived in Washington, D.C. to participate in the Annual National Student Leadership Academy (NSLA) which began on Wednesday, December 3 and concluded on Saturday, December 6, 2015. The high school and middle school participants were accompanied more than 200 JAG Specialists, Supervisors and Managers as well as parents and school officials to make certain the young people took full advantage of this unique opportunity as well as to ensure their safety given the threats facing democracies worldwide.
There were absolutely no incidents during the four-day Washington visit and leadership development experience that detracted from the mission of this annual opportunity for young people who have shown extraordinary promise to secure quality jobs that lead to career advancement opportunities upon graduation from high school and/or pursue a collegiate education in their chosen career field.
Many of the JAG participants reported their flight to Washington Regan Airport was their first trip by airplane and their first time to stay in a large hotel like the Hyatt Regency at Crystal City. Jeff Koeninger, NSLA Director, and Mark Thomas, NSLA Staff Member, designed a loading system for the 16 buses required to move the nearly 800 delegates and chaperones in an efficient manner.
The first event was held in the District of Columbia on Wednesday, December 3, 2015—the JAG National Leadership Awards Luncheon attended by nearly 1,000 guests at the Marriott Marque Washington DC. The 35th Anniversary theme—"Delivering on the Promise"—was reinforced by President Ken Smith, Chairman of the Board and Governor of Mississippi Phil Bryant, and U.S. Senator Tom Carper in their remarks to the delegates.
The NSLA keynoter was Hasan Davis, a youth advocate and motivator, and the NSLA delegates responded enthusiastically to his message that all people have the opportunity to succeed. After an early history of social and academic challenges, including learning disabilities, pre-teen arrest and expulsion from alternative school and college, Hasan found the courage to change. Starting with change in his attitude and opinions of personal worth, Hasan petitioned for re-admission to the College that expelled him twice. The year Hasan finally graduated from Berea College he was elected president of the student body, voted Homecoming King and received the Navy V-12 award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to campus life and interracial kinship. From Berea, Hasan went on to graduate from law school. If you are interested in contacting Mr. Davis, his contact information is provided at the close of this article.
The closing was led by Cyrus Birch, JAG-South Carolina to give added emphasis to the 35th Anniversary by demonstrating how much could be accomplished together than individually. Collectively, the JAG National Network has served more than one million students and more are being served each year.
The NSLA Opening Session and Dinner, presided over by Jeff Koeninger, followed the competitions. President Ken Smith was received enthusiastically by the 850 delegates, judges, and staff as he explained JAG leadership's commitment to thirty-five years of "Delivering on the Promise".
The 600 NSLA student delegates were placed in groups for the purpose of developing, practicing and refining their leadership skills. Each group was led by a trained facilitator who led their leadership group through a series of structured activities designed to enhance the leadership qualities of the NSLA delegates.
Twilight Tour of Washington, D.C.
On Saturday night, a Talent Show provided an opportunity for individuals and group to share their talent with the NSLA delegates. There were singers, dancers, poets, guitarists, and many more with varying level of talents. There were no declared winners—just a fun and inspirational sharing of talents.
What is the National Student Leadership Academy? It is four days of discovering, disclosing, learning, touring, sharing, supporting, growing, and experiencing. JAG students and Specialists should make plans to attend the 20th Annual National Student Leadership Academy in 2016.

Online Journalism in China: Can the Olympics change the Chinese media?
Freelance journalist Dave Green reports for Journalism.co.uk from Beijing:
With the Olympic Games under way in Beijing, the political controversies surrounding the competition have taken a backseat while the world's elite athletes grab the headlines.
There is a mood of optimism here that is difficult to define and a sense on the ground that the opening ceremony was a defining moment in history, one which it can be hoped will give China the confidence to move forward with the openness to question its past and, perhaps, admit to some mistakes.
Yet old media habits die hard: even foreign China Daily columnist Brendan John Worrell's assessment of the investment in "vital infrastructure" that has contributed to one of the most remarkable urban facelifts in history ignores the fact that many people have had their homes destroyed or walls constructed around their unsightly communities in the process.
Worrell conveniently ignores the protests in Tiananmen Square – perhaps unsurprising as the women marching against enforced relocations were given no coverage in the commercial press here – but he does go on to make a good point about China's need to address "new pressing goals."
Over on the country's newsdesks, it took the influence of foreign editors to ensure the reporting of a US tourist's murder received due prominence on the front pages and was not buried. Other coverage did not benefit from the same influence: the Xinhua News Agency's report of five Tibet protesters detained in Tiananmen Square on the same day was tacked onto the bottom of the same reports of the tourist attack.
Perhaps the sheer insanity of protesting against repression in Tibet can justifiably be likened to that of stabbing three people and then committing suicide? Or perhaps it's just because searching for the article online using the terms 'Tibet' and 'protest' will garner no references at all.
As Western eyes begin to adjust to the dark fact that the overwhelming security presence in Beijing may well be a necessary precaution given the attacks in the western Xinjiang Province, the media here is celebrating the mobilization of around 400,000 street-level forces. Yet you can't help but feel that relishing the deployment of a 70,000–strong army of grandma vigilantes, as China Daily does, is a bridge too far.
The China Daily piece strikes an uneasy tone that veers between sinister and depreciating:
"Mind the suspicious strangers. You see one smoking guy over there is glancing this way and that, watch him, and report to the police station immediately once something is wrong," it quotes 65-year-old Sun Li as saying.
"[C]atching bad guys is a policeman's job but we're here to help out and drink more water to prevent us fainting in this sunshine," it concludes.
There are more serious issues to be resolved, in particular protests by the International Federation of Journalists over the constant presence of plainclothes police in the capital allegedly monitoring journalists, and more demonstrations will surely follow.
But, as Beijing's media and its people feel the push and pull of global forces, it is safe to say that progress of a sort is being made. The key question remains what will happen after the circus leaves town, and will there will be enough residual pressure to keep the concessions that have already been made in place?

Obese patients and emergency contraception
In a story featured on NPR yesterday, news of additional warning information on labeling for oral emergnecy contraception in Europe has raised questions as to why similar label changes have not yet occured in the USA. The story focuses on a recent meta-analysis [1] that describes the effectiveness of the oral emergency contraceptives levonorgestrel (Plan B) and ulipristal acetate (Ella). In this case, I must agree with the FDA, that there is not enough data to make a change in the labeling, and further analysis needs to take place.
The meta-analysis was comprised of 2 studies randomizing patients to either agent 72 hours and 120 hours (levornorgestrel significantly looses efficacy after 96 hours) after unprotected intercouse, respectively. In each study, only patients who followed up were included. In total, of the 3445 patients included, there were 60 pregnancies, of which, 38 occured in patients who recieved levonorgestrel and 22 who recieved ulipristal. Despite this small number of pregnancies, a large amount of analysis was conducted. In short, while ulipristal was associated with a significantly reduced risk of pregnancy, both agents were associated with a reduced efficacy at higher BMIs (>30)- levornorgestrel had the greates loss of effectiveness. But again, the numbers were quite small; 6 pregnancies of 227 patients with BMI >30 who were randomized to ulipristal and 14 of 242 with BMI >30 randomized to levonorgestrel. Converting BMI to weight, levonorgestrel appeared to be less effective in patients who weighed >70 kg, and ulipristal loosing effectiveness in patients weighing >88kg. When reviewing each study individually,[2,3] ulipristal was non-inferior to levonorgestrel, and there were no investigations into the effect of of BMI or weight. However, upon each meta-analysis conducted, ulipristal was consistently shown to be superior. Before too much skeptecism creeps in, and investigation into the funding sources of these studies (when they're even disclosed), it is worth investigating the pharmacokinetic theory that may exist.
In obese patients, there are a number of assumptions regarding what pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes occur. The only agreement is that changes do occur. Most of the data we use to dose medications in obese patients are either 1) computer modeled over-simplifications with assumed variables or 2) based on social definitions (like ideal body weight) that were never intended to be used for medication dosing purposes. But, in general, it is assumed that a lipophilic drug with a large volume of distribution (for example; levonorgestre; Vd of 1.8 L/kg) would be predicted to have lower plasma concentrations due to higher volume of adipose tissue, thustly, lower efficacy. However, the PK data with levonorgestrel demonstrates that there is no change in Vd in obese patients, but rather, an increase in AUC (total exposure), longer half-life, longer time to steady state and decreased hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian inhibition.[4]
Despite these observations, according to the latest Cochrane analysis, there is no change in effectiveness of OC with increasing BMI.[5] Important to note, however, is that these studies are analyzing long term OC use- not emergency OC.
Extrapolating the PK data to emergency OC use, one could theorize that with a larger AUC, and longer time to steady-state, a one time dose may loose effectiveness. What is equally unclear is the impact of increasing the dose. It is clear that the effect of decreased effectiveness is not exclusive to ulipristal,[6] and should not be considered an alternative in obese patients (as described in the NPR piece), copper IUDs would be considered as an alternative.

Much more diverse in jumps compared to the second one, but still not as fun for me. Definitely better made though and was okay to play through.
Very enjoyable needle game, from the beginning to the end. Cool visuals and music, nice design. Lots of interesting jumps, and it's not too short.
It's a fun and well-made needle game. Would recommend.
It's not a very long needle game, but I enjoyed it a lot. The platforming was interesting and the visuals were cool.

Q: Running Anaconda's python version in powershell I had python installed from the official Python.org installer but afterward I installed Anaconda. Now when running the script Powershell is not using Anaconda's version of Python but the previously installed version. I already changed the environment path but still the problem persists. How can I make Powershell to use Anaconda's version of Python?

A: Fix the problem by changing the path directly on Powershell in which C:\Python27 is after C:\Anaconda;C:\Anaconda\Scripts. Check current path using:
(Get-ItemProperty -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' -Name PATH).Path

And create a new path using:
$newPath='Write new path'

Change to new path:
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' -Name PATH –Value $newPath

World's First Sustainable Packaging Sourcing Marketplace Launches with Oversubscribed Pre-Seed
San Francisco, CA, September 02, 2021 –(PR.com)– Newly founded startup SourceGreenPackaging.com has raised an oversubscribed pre-seed round to disrupt sustainable packaging with a global e-commerce B2B marketplace showcasing the most planet-friendly packaging products with a mission to decrease single-use forever plastic usage by businesses and consumers.
The platform, which is live in beta mode as of today, is the first of its kind globally: there is currently nowhere online for food companies and retail brands to source sustainable packaging products and materials from an international selection of suppliers safely and easily. SourceGreenPackaging.com offers a B2C aesthetic, a web 3.0 user experience, vetted suppliers and certified products.
Other key SGP offerings include custom sustainable packaging design and consulting services, startup & FMCG matching, RFQ functionality and an ongoing resource library of content and guides about packaging materials, regulations and technology. Crucially, the young company has already received the coveted B Corporation status (pending), underling its purpose-driven mission.
A new Emergen Research report suggests the global sustainable packaging market will be valued at US$469.49 billion by 2027.
"We were amazed by how quickly we were able to raise funds to launch. Initially we had a target in mind and within two weeks we had met it- there was so much interest that we extended the round and eventually managed to raise double what we planned," said Sonalie Figueiras, Ekopak's co-founder & CEO.
A recent consumer survey found that 81% of respondents "believe that companies use excessive packaging when shipping products" and 57% "would pay at least 10% extra for eco-friendly packaging."
"It's clear we have reached a tipping point in terms of awareness about packaging, forever plastic waste and the crisis in our oceans," says Ekopak co-founder & COO Luc Des Vallières.
Figueiras added: "The pandemic really brought home the need for solutions. A recent study showed that takeaway F&B packaging – bags, bottles, containers and wrappers – makes up 44% of all the trash in our oceans. This feels unacceptable given there are so many innovative and planet-friendly solutions out there."
Figueiras and Des Vallieres are committed "zero wasters" in their personal lives. They decided to join forces to help solve what they consider to be one of the biggest crises of their lifetimes. Figueiras said: "We both have kids and we are sickened to think of the scale of the plastic waste problem they will inherit. We produce over 300 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, and less than 10% gets recycled. We have to act now."
Figueiras is a long-time eco activist with a decade-long track record in the sustainability industry. Known affectionately as Asia's Green Queen, she is the founder & editor-in-chief of the eponymous award-winning media, the largest and most read impact news outlet in the region with a global readership. In addition, she is the founder of Ekowarehouse, a global B2B matching platform for certified organic products.
SourceGreenPackaging.com's round saw a number of sustainability industry veterans across Asia Pacific back the startup including Australian vegan investor & entrepreneur Simon Newstead, Hong-Kong-based Jackson and Emily Kelleher of WELL Magazine, Asia and New Zealand-based Michal Klar, an impact investor and former senior executive at European marketplaces OLX and Allegro.
Klar said: "I invested because I believe SourceGreenPackaging.com can accelerate the necessary transition to earth-friendly packaging globally. I have gotten to know Sonalie in the past few years and I believe she and Luc will build a successful and impactful B2B marketplace."
The round saw the participation of the C-suite of Singapore-based Shiok Meats, the most well-funded cell-based meat company in Asia-Pacific: CEO & co-founder Dr Sandhya Sriram, CTO & co-founder Ling Ka Yi, Ph.D. and COO Durgalakshmi Sathiakumar.
Speaking about their decision to invest, Sriram said: "We are excited to support this much needed sustainable packaging platform as this is an area that is key for our business and our business has been looking into too."
Other notable backers include David Yeung and Jenny Ng, Founder/CEO and Executive Director of Asian plant-based behemoth Green Monday, philanthropic funding NGO outfit Synergy Social Ventures, three co-founders of single-use plastic NGO Eco Drive Hong Kong: Angela Cheng Matsuzwa, Sherry Fung Wong and Emily Lam. Lam is also the founder of impact investment outfit Empact28 and green media platform 8Shades.
"50% of the world's plastic consumption is from packaging. Our world is drowning in plastic but the plastic production for packaging purposes is growing rapidly, especially during the global pandemic. More sustainable and affordable solutions are here but they are not easily accessible to businesses, especially for SMEs. I'm proud to support SourceGreenPackaging.com to democratise easy access to eco-friendly packaging solutions and make our planet a shade greener," says Lam.
Cheng Matsuzawa added: "I look forward to seeing SourceGreenPackaging.com become the go-to platform for businesses big and small to find trustworthy, non-greenwashed packaging suppliers."
In addition, the founders are supported by a robust Ethics Committee of experts, activists and scientists including University of Michigan bioplastic pioneer Dr Ramani Narayan, Harvard School of Public Health's Dr Carmen Messerlian, OceansAsia founder and Sea Shepherd alum Gary Stokes and Henri Allen of A Plastic Planet among others, all of whom will help guide SourceGreenPackaging.com on supplier and product verification.
Des Vallières says the marketplace already has hundreds of products with a range of solutions geared at the food and retail industry to begin with. SourceGreenPackaging.com will focus on showcasing solutions to remove single-use forever plastics from the F&B and retail e-commerce sectors, with shipping & logistics packaging a special area of focus.
Said Des Vallières: "We're excited to celebrate the growing sector of 'Pack-Tech' and our launch suppliers represent packaging and material innovation from all four corners of the globe."

Trump Slams Fake News for Melania Conspiracy Theory Obsession
Posted By Kathryn Blackhurst On March 13, 2019 @ 1:00 PM In A Strong America,Constitutional Freedoms,MomZette,PoliZette,Traditional Values | No Comments
President Donald Trump weighed in on the latest unfounded #FakeMelania conspiracy theory on Wednesday when he slammed the "Fake News" media for obsessing over first lady Melania Trump — and said they're "only getting more deranged with time."
"The Fake News photoshopped pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it's actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places."
"They are only getting more deranged with time!" Trump tweeted.

This conspiracy theory states that first lady Melania Trump uses a body double to stand in for her in an official capacity and attend some events with the president.
Some people also noted that there is a U.S. Secret Service agent who resembles the first lady, although she is considerably shorter than Melania Trump.
IF ITS NOT MELANIA THEN WHO IS THIS WOMAN?!! 👀

WSFA 12 reporter Sally Pitts tweeted a photo on Friday of the president and the first lady.
They were holding hands while paying their respects to tornado victims last week by viewing the 23 crosses representing the 23 victims.

Some social media users noted that Melania Trump appeared shorter than she normally is while standing next to her husband on the grass.
The first lady, who is 5′11,″ is often seen wearing high heels.
But she didn't wear heels in the photo.
Others thought her face looked slightly different as well. Some people who love to speculate about the Trumps' marriage were suspicious because the two were holding hands.
ABC News' "The View" co-hosts drew particular attention to the conspiracy theory during a segment on Monday.
"FAKE MELANIA CONSPIRACIES RETURN: The internet is buzzing again with theories that first lady Melania Trump is using an imposter to stand in for her — the co-hosts investigate," the show's account tweeted with a video of the discussion.

Co-host Joy Behar said, "I wasn't going to go along with this but that one, in that picture, doesn't look like her … It's a different shaped face."
Behar also insisted that there is "an element of truth" to the unfounded #FakeMelania conspiracy theory because she thought the first lady loathed her husband.

Co-host Sunny Hostin said, "Melania is a very tall, statuesque woman and the one that we saw, the first one that we showed, she looks kind of short."
These remarks drew a rebuke on Monday from Melania Trump's director of communications, Stephanie Grisham.
"[email protected] & @potus traveled to Alabama to pay their respects & comfort victims of the tornado devastation. In typical fashion, @theview chooses to laugh in the face of tragedy. Shameful," Grisham wrote.

The conspiracy theories about Melania Trump have been around since 2017 — and it's nothing new for liberals to mock her on social media whenever she sends out pictures and statements.
"I could say I'm the most bullied person [in] the world … One of them, if you really see what people are saying about me," Melania Trump told ABC's "Good Morning America" in October.
"That's why my 'Be Best' initiative focuses on social media and online behavior. We need to educate the children [about] social and emotional health, so when they grow up they know how to deal with these issues," she added.
And although magazines featured former first lady Michelle Obama on their covers, these same magazines have almost completely shunned Melania Trump.

She has also faced mockery for her Christmas decorations for the last two years.
Social media users ridiculed Melania Trump for the red Christmas trees that decorated a portion of the White House this past holiday season. They mocked her white Christmas tree decorations in 2017, too.

Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is the restoring of a natural tooth to beyond its natural colour, removing stains and making it appear whiter and brighter. It is one of the most common dental procedures as it greatly improves the look of your teeth.
It is important to know that tooth whitening products do not whiten artificial crowns, caps, veneers, fillings or other restorations. They will only work on natural tooth structure.
At Confident Healthcare we offer take-home whitening kits to help you get the best result possible.
A lot of people are unaware of the unpleasant side effects such as sensitivity, sharp pain inside teeth, chemical burns, alteration of enamel surface and uneven coloured teeth that can be caused by whitening and advise that it is best to have your teeth accessed by a dentist before undertaking any tooth whitening procedure as not everyone is a candidate for tooth whitening.
When whitening your teeth your results are dependent on a few things such as age and degree of discolouration. To avoid disappointment, discuss your expectations with your dentist at Confident Healthcare to ensure you are properly aware of the shade of whitening you may achieve.
Book an appointment today with one of our dentists to have them assess your teeth for tooth whitening!
Call Us on (02) 4285 1222 to make an appointment. Or Book a Check up and clean online and we will do your whitening assessment for free at this session.
