Ампелография (от гр. αμπελος – грозде и γραφια) се нарича науката, която се занимава с изучаване и описване на видовете и сортовете лози, както и на процеса на изменението им под влиянието на околната среда и целенасочената дейност на човека.

Обект на ампелографията е семейство Лозови (Vitaceae), което наброява около 600 вида, като само от Евроазиатската лоза Vitis vinifera има над 20 000 сорта, от които не повече от 200 имат промишлено значение.

За основоположник на ампелографията се счита немският лекар и естествоизпитател Филип Яков Сакс.

Ампелографията се дели на обща и частна. Общата третира систематиката, класификацията и произхода на видовете и сортовете лози, а частната – ботаническата им характеристика, стопанските им качества и методите за тяхното разпознаване.

Изучавайки подробно биологичните свойства, морфологичните признаци и технологичните качества на сортовете лози, апелографията решава следните въпроси:
 районирането на лозовите насаждения,
 сортов състав за промишлени насаждения,
 необходимата агротехника за съответния сорт.
 селекция на[лозата.

I did my GRE Mathematics Subject test for the first time this April 20th and it was really hard for me.I'm looking to take the exam again if my scores are not high.Can anybody tell me that what is the best way to start for the exam.I think I need to study Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra thoroughly.
I recommend to start with the FAQ here (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=234). Many universities have prep sites, UCLA's is pretty good and includes all of the historically released test (http://www.math.ucla.edu/~cmarshak/GREWorkshop.html).
1) Universities have demanded more differentiation at the upper end of the scale. It used to be the top score on the GRE was 80%, so there was no way to distinguish the top fifth of candidates who took the test.
2) higher quality, better prepared students are taking the test, especially from outside of the united states. The competition for US grad slots is international and very fierce. So the curve on the test has shifted over time toward more difficulty.
3) More students are familiar with the basic material . So rather than instantly being able to "see" the answer if you know the relevant theorem, the question is written in a more round about way. You have to do more manipulations or make two connections. Since its a timed test, every second counts, even if you know the basic material well. I ended up with a lot more blank questions than when I took the practice tests, and I chalk this up to the length of the questions.
What I'm telling is exactly the same. I could do more than 60 problems in the practice test and it was really easy when it compares with the actual test. Since this was my first time, I really don't know about the past exams. Some questions you need to work out rapidly and sometimes it takes more than 5 minutes.
I do not know any ideas why they make it very hard... and have no idea what we should do?


"I heard that the war has begun. What's the situation?"
Shi Yan was in Grace Mainland. His soul checked around to see all the commotions in every small corner of the continent. He found many old monsters of Heavenly Monster Tribe weren't here, not even Xia Xin Yan and Zi Yao.
Recalling what DeCarlos had said, he realized something. He guessed the others had gone to join the war. "Yeah, it's begun," Azure Dragon looked grave. He pondered for a while and then waved his hand, "Follow me."
His body flashed and he reappeared on Heavenly Monster Mountain Range. His hand wiped over an abandoned lake in the valley. It looked like a roll of a picture was slowly unveiled.
The surrounding mountains suddenly became transparent and projected the dazzling lights shining on the lake.
Some images that were from different star areas appeared on the lake. A war happened on those star areas. Many battleships were flying fast. The warriors were engaged in fierce battles.
While Azure Dragon changed his power Upanishad, the moving images in the lake became clearer. Shi Yan could even see the faces of the warriors.
He counted and found twelves sections showing images on the lake that were from the twelve star areas. The warriors of Heavenly Monster Tribe, Bloodthirsty Force, Thousand Fantasy Sect, Broken Hall, and Heaven River Temple were seen there too. And of course, their targets were the warriors of the G.o.d Clan.
To be exact, they had aimed at the forces of the G.o.d Clan's twelve families!
Shi Yan saw many familiar faces. Leona, Yang Tian Emperor, Fei Lan, Ka Tuo, and Benny were there. He also saw Cang Yun of Heavenly Monster Tribe and his fellows with the experts of Thousand Fantasy Sect. Their opponents were all G.o.d Clan's experts.
Many battleships were moving and firing. Different energies exploded. The soul altar shattered, turning into small light dots and scattering.
The battles were so fierce. While Shi Yan was in Grace Mainland, the entire universe was engaging in a stormy war.
"Currently, they have battles in the twelve star areas. It's not at Ancient G.o.d Star Area of the G.o.d Clan. They are the star areas that the G.o.d Clan families have invaded or are about to invade. The twelve families of the G.o.d Clan are in a war. However, the Immortal Realm experts have a tacit understanding that they won't join the battles over there. Because with only one Immortal Realm expert, it is enough to change the general situation of an entire star area."
"Besides Imperial Dark Tribe who remains neutral and indifferent, all the other clans and forces have joined this war. Xuan He has called for our Heavenly Monster Tribe and the Immortal Demon Clan. Thousand Fantasy Sect, Broken Hall, Heaven River Temple, and even Prosaic Star Area, Hollow Fearsome Star Area, and many small forces are with the Bloodthirsty Force in this war.
"Ming Hao is indeed powerful. Although he has just revealed some forces he controls, it's already incredible."
With a heavy complexion, Azure Dragon pointed at the moving images on the lake and explained to Shi Yan the current situation of the cosmos.
Shi Yan's face turned dark and cold as he was observing the fierce battles in each star area.
Ming Hao had cultivated Soul Control power Upanishad. In the past ten thousand years, he had discreetly enslaved the souls of many experts at a high position and levels like Mu Wei, Bai Ye Feng, and Bello. In this vast universe, some forces that had disappeared for a long time suddenly reappeared in this war. The leaders of those forces had a blood mark on their forehead that terrified others.
Taking Randolph, the Chief of the Dark Force, for example, he was a member of the Charteris family of the G.o.d Clan.
This time, Randolph appeared as the Cult Master of the Dark Nether G.o.d Cult. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Dark Nether G.o.d Cult used to be very powerful. However, their dark techniques were too evil. They had even sacrificed living beings to increase their own power. Many forces had joined hands to destroy this cult.
Everybody thought that the Dark Nether G.o.d Cult had been obliterated. However, this time, Randolph reappeared with many former disciples of the old Dark Nether G.o.d Cult. They worshiped him as their G.o.d and they were really extreme as if they weren't afraid of death.
There were many forces that were similar to the Dark Nether G.o.d Cult. They should have extinguished a long time ago.
However, when the Bloodthirsty Force and the G.o.d Clan announced a war, they bizarrely reappeared and all of the leaders were Ming Hao's loyal subordinates. Those forces weren't weak. They were even stronger than the Wu family or the Jiao family. Their partic.i.p.ation had frightened the entire sea of stars.
Everybody knew this war had just begun.
It meant that Ming Hao hadn't mobilized all of his forces yet. It meant that Ming Hao still had more powerful cards. This had weighed the warriors' hearts down.
Ming Hao's fierceness was revealed. The warriors who knew about the Soul Control power Upanishad became cautious. They began to doubt their loyal subordinates who Ming Hao could summon in any minute.
"Who has gained the upper hand now?" Shi Yan lifted his head and asked Azure Dragon.
Azure Dragon wore a bitter face, but his voice calm. "The G.o.d Clan has shown their outstanding power in every aspect. If the war continues this way, they will win eventually!"
Shi Yan was surprised. "Why is that?"
"You should come and see one of the battles there." Azure Dragon rose one finger and a section on the lake surface was zoomed close-up. It was a melee between the G.o.d Clan, Wu family, the Jiao family, and Heavenly Monster Tribe.
The members of the G.o.d Clan had a battleship made of the most precious and powerful materials. Each of them had excellent armor and weapons with the magical panacea. In every battle, they had cooperated closely and smoothly with their troopers and created excellent formations.
The Wu family, the Jiao family, and Heavenly Monster Tribe couldn't have such powerful armor and supplies.
"In the past ten thousand years, the G.o.d Clan has continuously invaded the major star areas and enslaved them. They have robbed countless materials from other star areas to train their warriors. Their warriors have joined battles all the time. They are all experienced. At the same time, their armor, weapons, medicines, battleships and even morale are higher and better than the others. If the Bloodthirsty Force didn't have more people, we would have been defeated right from the start.
"This period of ten thousand years has fattened the G.o.d Clan. With the aid from weapons and medicines, a King G.o.d Realm warrior of the G.o.d Clan can resist against two warriors on our side." Azure Dragon took a deep breath and then said, "When they join to make the formation, their advantages become clearer. The invincible reputation of the G.o.d Clan wasn't just in vain."
What Holy Beast Azure Dragon had said and the images Shi Yan had observed had doubled the pressure on his shoulder.
He knew that the G.o.d Clan was powerful. But after they had actually engaged in the war, Shi Yan deeply understood how powerful they were. Although his side had many forces supported from everywhere, it couldn't gain the upper hand. It showed to what level the G.o.d Clan had reached after ten thousand years of acc.u.mulation.
"If we keep continuing this way, the G.o.d Clan will have a higher chance to win." Azure Dragon sighed again. "The G.o.d Clan has the G.o.d Lord, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Feng Jue of the Elders Committee. They are all at the Immortal Realm. The twelve families have so many Incipient G.o.d Realm experts too. If the G.o.d Clan's reproduction wasn't that much weaker than Human Clan, they could have conquered this whole world in ten thousand years."
"Are you saying that we don't have any chance to win this war?" Shi Yan knitted his brows.
"No. We still have you. You are the biggest variable," Azure Dragon's eyes shot out a fierce light. "You're Bloodthirsty's successor. You can overturn the general picture. I believe you can do that!"
"But Xuan He, Ming Hao, and Frederick couldn't overturn it. How could I do that?" Shi Yan was astounded.
"Because they aren't Bloodthirsty's heir. They can't, but you can!" shouted Azure Dragon.
"I wish to hear the details," Shi Yan honestly asked for guidance.
"You understand Devouring power Upanishad. It not only strengthens yourself but also increases the power of the warriors with the blood mark. In a battle, you can use the Devouring power to take in energy from the enemies and transmit it to the Bloodthirsty's retinue. Your subordinates' energy will rocket instantly. You'll have super warriors with profound realms and abundant energy, which can make up for all their flaws!" said Azure Dragon.
"That year, the G.o.d Clan and the forces around the sea of stars had attacked the Bloodthirsty Force. Their first target was Bloodthirsty. As long as he lived, the eight chiefs could increase their power unceasingly. Once they got hurt, Bloodthirsty killed the G.o.d warriors to devour their energy and send it to the wounded warriors to heal them rapidly. It was the most terrifying feature of the Bloodthirsty Force.
"G.o.d Perishing Land of the G.o.d Clan took reference from the Devouring power Upanishad. It developed similar characteristics as the Devouring power Upanishad. They used the Dark Prison Demonic Flower to absorb the blood and flesh from victims to create a place to heal the G.o.d warriors. Compared to the real Devouring power Upanishad, the G.o.d Perishing Land isn't really sufficient. If you can master the Devouring power Upanishad, you can definitely change the situation!"
Azure Dragon understood the special abilities of the Bloodthirsty Force. Shi Yan got it immediately after listening to Azure Dragon.
He remembered that he had used the Devouring power Upanishad to pour the energy into Fei Lan, Leona, and Ka Tuo through the mark on their forehead.
He recognized that Azure Dragon's suggestion was subtle and profound.
It was true. Xuan He, Ming Hao, and Frederick couldn't change this overall situation. But he could!
It was because he was the Bloodthirsty Force's Master's successor. He used Devouring power Upanishad!
"Are you sure that the Immortal Realm expert won't join the war for now?" He was startled all of a sudden.
"It's a tacit agreement," Azure Dragon nodded.
If the G.o.d Clan doesn't want to destroy many star areas, they will follow this agreement. It won't change anytime soon at least."
Shi Yan grinned and asked, "Where's the closest battlefield?"
"Fiery Rain Star Area." Azure Dragon understood him. "They're in a dangerous situation. If you go there and help them win the battle, the warriors of Fiery Rain Star Area will have their power rocket because of you. You can make your debut there."
"Who has joined that battlefield?" asked Shi Yan.
"Benny and Ka Tuo with the warriors of Agate Star Area. You should start to change the situation of this war from there," answered Azure Dragon.
Shi Yan nodded and then turned away.
Right at this moment, Azure Dragon called after him. "Take Ghost Hunter with you. I've restricted him for a long time. He should go out and get some fresh air."

Jen Shah, star of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, sentenced to 6.5 years in prison
2022 Bravo Media, LLC
By Nick Tangorra
On Friday January 6th, reality TV star Jen Shah was sentenced to 78 months in prison for her role in a telemarketing scheme that defrauded hundreds of victims out of millions of dollars. Shah, who rose to fame on Bravo's "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," was convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in April 2021.
According to prosecutors, Shah and her business partner, Stuart Smith, operated a company that promised to help small businesses with their online marketing and advertising. However, instead of providing the promised services, Shah and Smith used high-pressure tactics to convince the victims to buy into their scheme and then pocketed the money.
"Shah and Smith built their opulent lifestyle at the expense of vulnerable small business owners, who were just trying to get a foothold in the online world," said Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss. "In reality, as Shah and Smith admitted, their company was a sham, and the 'services' it sold were largely worthless."
The case against Shah and Smith garnered widespread attention, with many fans of the "Real Housewives" franchise expressing shock and disappointment at the news of Shah's involvement in the fraud scheme.
Shah's sentence marks the latest in a series of high-profile cases involving reality TV stars who have been caught up in legal trouble. It serves as a reminder that, even though they may be famous, reality TV stars are not immune to the consequences of their actions.


Before getting help for my addiction, I spent years blaming others for everything. It was always someone else's fault that I drank and used drugs the way I did. "If what happened to me had happened to you, you'd use drugs like I do," was pretty much my go to response for everything.
I have heard this same phrase repeated by countless women in recovery. It seems to be a faulty slogan that many of us lived by. Of course, addiction is a disease and this wasn't the only reason I drank and used drugs. It was a great way to justify my actions and shift the blame on others. This cycle of shifting blame allowed my disease to stay strong for years.
Looking for a women's treatment center for drugs and alcohol?
During my years getting high, and before I ever picked up a drug or drink, my disease was progressing. I stopped speaking to "normal" people and my life became hanging out with my drug dealer. As I became less and less accountable to regular people, I also lost any notion of self-accountability. See, addiction is a selfish disease. The only thing I cared about was how and when I'd get drugs.
Want to know more about substance abuse?
Finally, I had this misguided belief that there were no consequences to ANY of my actions. Whether it was stealing something or hurting a loved one, the obsession to drink and drug trumped any potential consequences. Mostly, I barely gave consequences a passing thought. I just didn't care.
As a woman takes her first step into recovery, it's extremely importance that she begin to understand what it actually means to be sober and accountable.
Accountability, sobriety, and honesty are all linked. Really, you can't have one without the others. While in treatment, you learn to be accountable to your peers and therapists. You can get "honest" with your group about your feelings or a potential mistake. Practicing this kind of honesty is integral to staying sober, because, first and foremost, you must be honest with yourself about being an addict.
Looking to get involved with other women in sobriety?
If you decide to work a twelve-step program after drug treatment, you'll learn to be accountable to your sponsor. Practicing this kind of accountability with your home group and sponsor helps in the long run. Staying sober is about being accountable to yourself and to God as you understand God. You're making a commitment to yourself to stay sober for the rest of your life, one day at a time. With a sponsor, you'll learn to set goals and stick to those goals.
Look, as addicts we're used to running from responsibility. It was avoided at all costs. "I'll pay that bill tomorrow," "tomorrow I'll stop drinking," "I'll apologize to my loved ones tomorrow." Those are just a few examples. It's important to remember that we can't get sober alone. With the help of support groups, therapy, and a sponsor we can learn to treat this disease. We can learn to be accountable and productive members of society!

Revisiting the AtoZ with Photos and Trivia on Switzerland, Zombie Attack!, and ROW80
uess what?
I learned something new and relearned something old this past weekend.
The something old is a fact that I'd forgotten: Freddie Mercury lived in Montreux, Switzerland in the last years of his life and even owned a recording studio there. Apparently he used to say "If you want peace of mind, come to Montreux." There's been a statue of him by the lakefront since 1996 and there's a Freddie Mercury Memorial Day held there every September. We'll have to visit!
The new-to-me fact is that the Deep Purple classic Smoke on the Water is all about Lake Geneva!
Usually I'm really good with hearing and memorising lyrics, but you know how sometimes you think you know a song so well that you actually don't pay much attention to it? Yea, that. I mean, the opening lines to the song are "We all came out to Montreux, on the Lake Geneva shoreline, to make records with a mobile, we didn't have much time."
I'd never paid attention before! Here&#…
Book Reviews, Andy Capp, Blogs I Miss, and ROW80
ood thing I added reading to my ROW80 goals!
I finished The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith/JK Rowling the other day, and would highly recommend it, especially for fans of detective stories. I love the authors characterisation.
Then I read My Dancing Bear by Helene de Klerk, a brief biography of Andy Capp's creator Reg Smythe written by his niece. The book is interspersed with quotes from conversations with Smythe, and has a really 'close' feel, as if you're reading about one of your own distant family members.
The best part for me were the two aspects that could also relate to writing. The first was the glimpse of Smythe's complete dedication to his work. Even with a full time job, he would come home every evening and spend hours on his strips, sometimes working with a timer - one strip every half an hour. If he finished earlier, he carried over that time to the next strip. Day after day, without fail, even after he'd achieved a certain level of success.
Then the…

I'm going to carry over my main goal from the last round, which was to take part in the June exercise over on the Compuserve Books and Writers Community.
Speaking of which, one long-standing forumite and one forumite who hasn't been around in a few years got together on Twitter the other day:
For my other goals, I'm going to include items that have to be done, in the hopes that they will get done:
1. Transcribe the latest batch of Alfred Russel Wallace letters
2. Finish knitting a baby blanket and start a new project, a gift for a friend
3. Read!
I'm in the middle of four books at the moment:

t's Insecure Writer's Support Group day!
According to Ninja Captain Alex, its purpose is "to share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It's a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!"
Well, I'm feeling insecure about how little writing I've been doing. That feeling only comes from comparing my lack of progress to others' leaps and bounds, though.
And there's no call for that sort of thinking! Hopefully all the various real life happenings will be good story fodder someday when I do get back into the writing groove.
If you haven't been writing as often as you'd like, you can still support other writers!

America's fractured myth
Oliver Stone opened a huge can of worms with his controversial examination of the Kennedy assassination nearly 30 years after the calamitous event. Stone approximates a thriller format in his procedural, recalling some of the film noir detective pieces of the 1950's like The Naked City, Panic in the Streets and The Sniper. As the world now contemplates the 50th anniversary, it speaks volumes that Stone's film remains the definitive cinematic rendering of the assassination, and as key questions remain unanswered, some of its themes are as timely as ever. The murky back stories of key participants and the enduring silence of the security agencies like the CIA, FBI and Secret Service on salient points has enabled endless conspiracy theories to flourish in the vacuum created by this official intransigence, with no end in sight.
Stone focuses his investigation on the only trial that attempted to hold someone criminally accountable for conspiracy in John F. Kennedy's death, the New Orleans prosecution of shady businessman Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones). The prosecuting District Attorney, Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) leads a detailed forensic investigation that uncovers a multi layered connective thread that joins several disgruntled groups that would notionally have benefited from Kennedy's death. Lee Harvey Oswald (Gary Oldman) is reduced to an ensemble character within an assortment of colourful personalities, some more extreme than others, as complex and undeniable threads intertwine.
JFK opens with a remarkable and prescient warning from outgoing President Dwight D. Eisenhower, as he rails against the proliferation of unwarranted influence from the "military-industrial complex". A former five star US General urging caution in regard to this nexus would be akin to one of Santa's elves warning about Christmas, and an astonishing development in US politics during the height of the Cold War era. Kennedy faced down the greatest threat to the planet in October of 1962 with the Cuban Missile Crisis, averting nuclear annihilation and gaining great foreign policy authority with his firm handling of the situation with the Russians. Kennedy was handed the shit sandwich of the Bay of Pigs Invasion (planned and approved during the Eisenhower administration) by the CIA upon his taking office, and would regret his further approval of the ill thought out mission. Its spectacular failure prompted Kennedy to sack the head of the CIA, Allen Dulles, and would colour and poison his relationship with the intelligence agency from that time onwards.
JFK shows Oswald as a character right in the middle of the fallout from the Cuban problem. The CIA continued to attempt to destabilise the communist state and to assassinate Castro, even cooperating in these ventures with disgruntled Mafia figures still smarting over the loss of their casino empire in Cuba. The Mob were even more upset with the Kennedy's after Bobby pursued them vigorously as US Attorney General, feeling betrayed after mobilising support for Jack in the tight general election. The Mob had financially supported and pinned their hopes on the Bay of Pigs Invasion as the mechanism to topple Castro, and Kennedy's backing away from that agenda only added fuel to their hateful fire.
The missile crisis affirmed Cuba's main pillar of support was the Soviet Union, who could now position nuclear missiles within 100 miles of the American mainland. Stone asks the obvious question regarding Oswald's defection to Russia in light of the Cold War atmosphere in late 1959. How could this ex-marine gain a re-entry passport within a week of applying for it, given his acknowledged pro-communist views? "Ordinary people get blacklisted for leftist affiliations", says Garrison, leaving the connection with the CIA and Oswald tantalisingly open. Oswald waltzed back into the country, with a Soviet wife, and would ordinarily have acquired a CIA file a mile long with that kind of form.
Oswald next bobs up distributing pro-Castro literature in New Orleans, which should have placed him number one with a bullet on the lists of the CIA and FBI, and had him under suspicion for the Presidents visit. Oswald seemed to go out of his way to call attention to himself, and his mail order purchase of a cheap Italian rifle was not the act of a clinical assassin. It seems impossible he could go about his business unhindered by officialdom, unless there was some inside interference, or unless he was on the payroll, as suggested by his sharing a building with the CIA for his pro Cuban office in New Orleans.
What Stone's film makes clear to the rest of the world, spoon fed on an uncritical diet of the glories of 'Camelot', is the level of hatred and antipathy towards Kennedy in his own country. "The Jews and the niggers got together with the Catholics to elect ableeding heart", is how one disgusted right wing ex-FBI character sums it up. America as a fractured country of subsets and division was not an image it projected to the world, and it confirms writer Christopher Hitchens' later observation, "There is not one America,there are many America's". It's bracing to reflect that millions of Americans actually applauded the killing, especially in the south, an indication that some dividing lines ran very deep nearly 100 years after the end of the Civil War.
Notwithstanding the relative merits of Stone's arguments, some of which are obviously derived from a very selective reading of the evidence, the film functions best in alerting the viewer to the layers of intrigue in such a complex event. There's little doubt Kennedy had a problematic relationship with senior military and CIA personnel, the same people who'd led him into the disastrous Bag of Pigs fiasco in Cuba. The military had no such issues with the more hawkish Lyndon Johnson, who escalated America's involvement in Vietnam almost immediately upon rising to the Presidency. The Mob were also invested by way of gambling interests in Cuba, lost once Castro came to power, and the two subplots converge with Oswald's Cuban and CIA links.
Over 2 decades on from JFK the scholarship surrounding the event has grown exponentially, and some of the basis of Garrison/Stone's arguments now appear weak. The 'magic' bullet theory has essentially been proved by ballistics experts; in as much as a single bullet could have caused the seven wounds if it did not deviate from its trajectory. Multiple experiments have since proved the victims were aligned at the time of impact, not out as alignment as previously believed. There's little doubt Oswald got away at least two shots, and it is certain one at least shot Kennedy, the single bullet, it's the second 'head' shot that is mostly disputed. A current theory suggests an accidental firing from the rear Secret Service car accounted for the different fragmented outcome the 'head' shot bullet represented when compared with metal jacket 'single' bullet. That would add weight to the fact the government agencies are still holding crucial information that shows them in a bad light.
Kennedy had the good fortune to preside over a rampant and prosperous economy, inheriting a country that was the beneficiary of the biggest consumer boom in the history of the world, America accounting for 60% of the consumption of consumer goods in the decade prior to the event. Americans were enjoying a golden age of prosperity on one hand, coupled with a paranoia and fear of nuclear catastrophe on the other, and presiding over their superpower status was an equally golden first couple with movie star looks. The enduring fascination with the shooting has as much to do with the figures involved as with the mechanics, and it functions as modern myth, a golden god cut down in his prime by a despicable nobody.
Oliver Stone produced a vibrant and compelling detective film, edited superbly, full of brilliant set pieces and detailed and nuanced argument not easily dismissed. Kevin Costner anchors the piece with a firm presence, dignified and humble, and it may stand as his best performance. Donald Sutherland delivered a star turn as 'X', the Washington insider who outlines the intricate web of dark skein that connected murky government deals involving the military and big business. Sissy Spacek is wonderful as Garrison's put upon wife and the smallest roles are filled with talented and authoritative actors to deliver a broad and colourful tapestry.
Given the nature of the information available and the skewed perspectives and agendas involved surrounding the event it's dubious that any one film can distil all of the elements involved in a coherent narrative, but JFK operates at the level of myth as much as fact, and for all it's many flaws it remains a fascinating achievement. A must see political thriller.
* The patina of civil political discourse in a united US was forever blown away by the assassin's bullets, and America today is even more polarised and fractured. For all the divisions it should be remembered that within 50 years of the death of John F. Kennedy America has twice elected a black president. Barack Obama still gets more death threats than any previous president, and the general population's continued misunderstanding of what constitutes a socialist or a communist makes the right wing media opposition more effective than it should be. Money, an inadequate tax base and lack of social justice lie at the core of the new extremes, and reconciling those issues will be America's great challenge in the 21st century.

Q: Pass an UnsafeMutableRawPointer as a function parameter When I try to pass an UnsafeMutableRawPointer as a function parameter I get the following error:
A C function pointer can only be formed from a reference to a 'func' or a literal closure
Specifically this is from the following code:
public func sqlite3_bind_text(_ oP: OpaquePointer!, _ first: Int32, _ second: UnsafePointer<Int8>!, _ third: Int32, _ ptrs: ((UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) -> Void)!) -> Int32 {
    SQLite3.sqlite3_bind_text(oP, first, second, third, ptrs)
}

I've looked at: How to use instance method as callback for function which takes only func or literal closure but can't see how I can apply that to my situation.
How can I pass the pointer through my function?

A: SQLite is a pure C library, and SQLite3.sqlite3_bind_text() takes a pointer to a C function as the fifth parameter. Such a parameter is marked with @convention(c) and that must be replicated in your wrapper function:
public func sqlite3_bind_text(_ oP: OpaquePointer!, _ first: Int32,
                              _ second: UnsafePointer<Int8>!,
                              _ third: Int32,
                              _ ptrs: (@convention(c) (UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) -> Void)!) -> Int32 {
    SQLite3.sqlite3_bind_text(oP, first, second, third, ptrs)
}

Barring Marouane Fellaini's headbutting antics, last night's Manchester derby won't live long in the memory. Manchester City and Manchester United's clash at the Etihad Stadium turned into an affair of who could be the less dreadful – the final result being a nil-nil that confirmed how far both clubs have fallen since their days of battling it out for the Premier League title.
But there were more positives to take for the Red Devils, who claimed a point away from home against a top four rival despite having a number of key players out injured – namely Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones.
In the absence of the latter duo, versatile defender Daley Blind was given just his fifth Premier League start since the beginning of February and although it seems unlikely the Netherlands international's Old Trafford career will span beyond the summer, the performance against City may just have Jose Mourinho thinking twice ahead of the coming transfer window.
Indeed, as our infographic shows, Blind produced a strong performance against one of the Premier League's most potent strikers of all time in Sergio Aguero, keeping the Argentine quiet with three tackles, two interceptions, nine clearances and two vital blocks. Equally impressively, he didn't commit a single foul in a game that saw 18 in total.
Capable of playing across the defence and in the midfield, even if Blind isn't a typical Mourinho player, he still clearly has a lot to offer the United gaffer. But do you think he deserves another season at Old Trafford? Let us know by voting below.

The winery has had a history of putting on large music events at the winery, but normally over just one weekend.
According to the proposal, the events will benefit the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation and its fire restoration efforts.
Also on the SVCAC's agenda is a use permit request by Charlie's Acres for a 3,280-square-foot educational center for a farm animal sanctuary on a 32-acre parcel, open daily with quarterly special events. The property is located at at 3201, 3204 and 3281 Napa Road in Sonoma.
Any questions about the agenda or the SVCAC in general can be directed to Pat Gilardi in Supervisor Susan Gorin's office, pat.gilardi@sonoma.county.org.


Argentina A and Russia recorded victories as the inaugural IRB Nations Cup made an entertaining debut in Lisbon on Tuesday evening.
Despite it being a public holiday in Portugal, a fair crowd were in attendance on an overcast afternoon and were treated to a feast of rugby as both matches were played back to back at the impressive Estadio Universitario.
The new competition, which is designed to provide an expanded calendar for Tier 1 A sides, while also providing certainty in terms of competitive rugby for Tier 3 Unions is a key element of the IRB's US $50 million global strategic investment programme, launched last August and designed to increase the competitiveness of the World Game and Rugby World Cup through a number of high performance, Union infrastructure and Tournament initiatives.
Argentina A scored four tries to overcome Italy 26-11 in the opening match of the tournament, but Patricio Noreiga's side were pushed all the way by a spirited Italy side in what was an entertaining match.
In the end it was Argentina A's strength in the scrum and in the contact area that was to prove the difference between two sides who were both intent on playing attacking rugby.
Despite the scoreline, Italy A will take plenty of positives from their performance. They started particularly strongly and were just one point adrift entering the final quarter of the match, only to be undone by two tries within the last twenty-minutes.
Italy A had opened the scoring through fly half Lugano Orquera, who slotted over two first half penalties, but it was Argentina A who went into the interval in the lead after a Tomas De Vedia's score on the stroke of half time added to an earlier score by inside centre Hernan Senillosa to give them a 12-6 advantage.
Italy A came out of the blocks strongly after the interval, playing with much more purpose and composure and had much the better of the opening exchanges. However, it took until the 59th minute for the Italian's pressure to be converted into points when scrum half Pietro Travagli crossed for a try that hauled his side back to just one point adrift of Argentina.
However, that was as close as the Italians were to get as winger Horacio Agulla and lock Estaban Lozada scored tries to round off a satisfactory opening performance by Argentina.
Russia produced the shock of the opening round in the IRB Nations Cup, defeating hosts Portugal 37-17 to go to the top of the standings.
The visitors, who finished one place behind Portugal in Division One of the FIRA-AER European Nations Cup, scored five tries in a victory that was based on a fine first half performance in an entertaining encounter at Lisbon's University Stadium.
Despite being roared on by a vociferous Lisbon support, the home side struggled to gain parity up front where the Russia had the better of the forward exchanges. However, Portugal did start brightly and forged ahead into a lead against the run of play when number eight and captain Vasco Uva touched down in the fourteenth minute for a converted try.
Slow to start, Russia clicked midway through the first half and scored three tries in a fifteen minute period to give the visitors a healthy lead from which they never looked back.
Openside flanker and captain Viacheslav Grachev scored Russia's first try, before lock Anrey Garbuzov and centre Sergey Trishin scored in rapid succession to silence the home support. A brace of conversions by Pavel Novikov helped the visitors to a 19-10 lead at the interval.
The second half was a rather more evenly contested affair. Pavel Novikov stretched Russia's lead with a penalty, but Portugal, playing with more confidence, were the first to cross the try line when blindside flanker Diobo Mateus crashed over for a converted try to reduce the deficit to just five points with six minutes left.
However, with time running out, the home side began to chase the game and errors allowed Russia to score two late tries through winger Pavel Novikov and Sergey Trishin to add gloss to the victory.
The IRB Nations Cup continues on Sunday when hosts Portugal face Italy A and Russia take on Argentina A in Round Two. The competition concludes on June 24 when Italy A face Russia and Portugal play Argentina A.

Smart Cities: What do we need to know to plan and design them better?
For most of the last decade, the smart city has been a corporate project. That is to say, it has not challenged existing power structures in either its formulation of the essential problems facing cities or the solutions. It has focused on incremental improvement to existing systems and solutions through better management enabled by digital technology.
Cities are rushing to get "smart" in order to create new economic opportunities, to take advantage of potential systems efficiencies, and to not be left behind the technological curve.
Running parallel to the "smart city" discussion is the notion of inclusion; that is, a city is better off if a wide range of people participate in how it grows and evolves.

HCM City late to bring down weak buildings

HCM CITY (VNS) — Only eight out of the 25 very seriously degraded high-rise apartment buildings in HCM City were razed in 2011 to 2015.
Pham Van Khuong and his family started living in Ngo Gia Tu apartments in District 10 in 1971 when it was a dream address for many people.
But it has now become a nightmare because the building is decrepit, its walls have cracks, every house gets wet when it rains and some staircases are weak and potentially very dangerous and have portions cordoned off.
It was built in 1968 on marshy land, and has gradually sunk with time.
Khuong said: "We are very nervous to live in such a run-down apartment. We cannot repair or upgrade it ourselves and hope to move out as soon as possible."
The situation is the same at most of the other apartments too. While they are waiting to be knocked down, they still house thousands of people.
Recently the city People's Committee instructed relevant agencies to review all dilapidated and dangerous buildings, especially apartments.
The city has 533 apartments built before 1975 and they house 50,640 families.
Authorities planned to destroy 445,000sq.m of apartments in 2011-15 but only managed to achieve 60 per cent of it.
The slow progress was caused by the economic and real estate market downturns, the city's failure to provide funding to inspect apartments for quality — only 40 out of 178 buildings were checked — and the lack of alternative housing for people moved out destroyed apartments. — VNS

Forums Beautiful Life Serious Discussion
Your Phone Is Listening and it's Not Paranoia
Discussion in 'Serious Discussion' started by parrish, Jun 7, 2018.

Here's how I got to bottom of the ads-coinciding-with-conversations mystery.
A couple years ago, something strange happened.
A friend and I were sitting at a bar, iPhones in pockets, discussing our recent trips in Japan and how we'd like to go back.
The very next day, we both received pop-up ads on Facebook about cheap return flights to Tokyo. It seemed like just a spooky coincidence, but then everyone seems to have a story about their smartphone listening to them.
So is this just paranoia, or are our smartphones actually listening?
According to Dr. Peter Hannay—The senior security consultant for cybersecurity firm Asterisk, and former lecturer and researcher at Edith Cowan University—the short answer is yes, but perhaps in a way that's not as diabolical as it sounds.
For your smartphone to actually pay attention and record your conversation, there needs to be a trigger, such as when you say "hey Siri" or "okay Google."
In the absence of these triggers, any data you provide is only processed within your own phone.
This might not seem a cause for alarm, but any third party applications you have on your phone—like Facebook for example—still have access to this "non-triggered" data.
And whether or not they use this data is really up to them.
Whispering some sweet nothings to my phone
"From time to time, snippets of audio do go back to [other apps like Facebook's] servers but there's no official understanding what the triggers for that are," explains Peter.
"Whether it's timing or location-based or usage of certain functions, [apps] are certainly pulling those microphone permissions and using those periodically.
All the internals of the applications send this data in encrypted form, so it's very difficult to define the exact trigger."
He goes on to explain that apps like Facebook or Instagram could have thousands of triggers.
An ordinary conversation with a friend about needing a new pair of jeans could be enough to activate it.
Although, the key word here is "could," because although the technology is there, companies like Facebook vehemently deny listening to our conversations.
"Seeing Google are open about it, I would personally assume the other companies are doing the same."
Peter tells me.
"Really, there's no reason they wouldn't be. It makes good sense from a marketing standpoint, and their end-use agreements and the law both allow it, so I would assume they're doing it, but there's no way to be sure."
With this in mind, I decided to try an experiment.
Twice a day for five days, I tried saying a bunch of phrases that could theoretically be used as triggers.
Phrases like I'm thinking about going back to uni and I need some cheap shirts for work.
Then I carefully monitored the sponsored posts on Facebook for any changes.
I'd never seen this ad for "quality clothing" until I told my phone I needed shirts
The changes came literally overnight. Suddenly I was being told mid-semester courses at various universities, and how certain brands were offering cheap clothing.
A private conversation with a friend about how I'd run out of data led to an ad about cheap 20 GB data plans.
And although they were all good deals, the whole thing was eye-opening and utterly terrifying.
Peter told me that although no data is guaranteed to be safe for perpetuity, he assured me that in 2018 no company is selling their data directly to advertisers.
But as we all know, advertisers don't need our data for us to see their ads.
"Rather than saying here's a list of people who followed your demographic, they say Why don't you give me some money, and I'll make that demographic or those who are interested in this will see it.
If they let that information out into the wild, they'll lose that exclusive access to it, so they're going to try to keep it as secret as possible.
Peter went on to say that just because tech companies value our data, it doesn't keep it safe from governmental agencies.
As most tech companies are based in the US, the NSA or perhaps the CIA can potentially have your information disclosed to them, whether it's legal in your home country or not.
So yes, our phones are listening to us and anything we say around our phones could potentially be used against us.
But, according to Peter at least, it's not something most people should be scared of.
Because unless you're a journalist, a lawyer, or have some kind of role with sensitive information, the access of your data is only really going to advertisers.
If you're like everyone else, living a really normal life, and talking to your friends about flying to Japan, then it's really not that different to advertisers looking at your browsing history.
"It's just an extension from what advertising used to be on television," says Peter. Only instead of prime time audiences, they're now tracking web-browsing habits.
It's not ideal, but I don't think it poses an immediate threat to most people."

That's not new news of course your phone is a two way listening and tracking device.

Yes, that's not new news. Those people who do not want to have that true or say it's paranoid or a tinfoil hat theory they never have got what's all about that.
It's not surveillance at first place, it's data mining (means extraction of knowledge which is valid, formerly unknown and useful) in order to make predictions of human consume behavior.
The principle behind that:
The customer of such devices gets stuff and services preinstalled and for 'free'.
By violating privacy and local laws they 'listen' to you.
Goal is to spam and to make money out of the customers either directly by motivating them to buy stuff or indirectly to sell the info gained by data mining.
To make an Android phone stop 'listening' one actually has to remove the Gapps completely and to control anything by firewall. Even their browser tracks user behavior. Also messengers which are for free such as whatsapp 'share' data.
First sign that indicates that is that you suddenly get ads about stuff you were interested in before (browsed for that or posted about at social media, or talked about via messengers)........

It's one thing to purchase a device like that. You know it can (and will) do that.
It's another thing for your cell phone to do it without their knowledge.

I thought it was always a given that everybody already knows that your cell phone can track and spy on you.
"Made in China" that always a comfort too
The funny part is that actually everybody (still) can live with that.
The part of people which does not know something about it cannot have a problem since the fact does not exist for them / is unaware.
The part which knows about either ignores it (saying it's a minor issue, the opinion is mostly reasoned with the statement that one's nothing to hide) or starts to get interested in how to minimize it (to prevent completely is actually impossible) and applies the gained/learned measures.
Besides of all the phones and their abilities to mine data another important thing is 'what' people do disclose about themselves on their own, voluntarily. And how they interconnect their accounts and usernames...even with real identity...and where they post. (which app is used)

There was a couple who had one of these "smart" home devices which sent an audo recording to friends that the couple didnt know about. The devices may be "smart" but the users are utter dimloes. They are walking blindly into George Orwell's 1984 because they are blinded by technology. Fidiots.
Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

5G that kills birds outright... Jeez!
The main problem is that these snooping capabilities are there and that authorities do NOT need a warrant any more, to use and abuse those possibilities, as they see fit!
On top of that, if those capabilities are there - corporations, run by sociopaths WILL abuse it to their own advantage!
Moreover, If they are there - criminals will also use it, sooner or later, one way or another!
I remember when a young Italian couple made a "home video" without knowing that their device, while they were watching their recording, was also transmitting, "entertaining" the neighbourhood... They had to move very soon...
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another.
