my #bigblogx adventure
Carry on Jo: Jo opens a coffee shop
Operating cost. Operating deficit. Overdue interest. Overdraft. Overruns. Jo couldn't understand a thing Enna, his attractive, young niece cum bookkeeper, had just said. Neither does he understand why she so steadfastly opines that he'd be better off calling it a day.
"Why on earth should I close my coffee shop when all my friends say it's the best in town?". Pffft! What the hell do accountants know about running a business?
Unfazed (and despite secretly harbouring a perverse infatuation for his brother's second daughter since she attained puberty), Jo nonchalantly dismisses young Enna's suggestion, just as his besties Dino and Wang, their wives and seven children file in - as usual, sharp at a quarter to three every day bar Tuesdays and Fridays.
"Come sit with me, my friends. Coffee's on me. Here, have some curry buns; my treat". Must look good.
Enna rolls her eyes in disbelief. His business can't take anymore of this. Exasperated, she gets up, hesitantly bows to kiss Jo's hand and excuses herself - graceful as always but otherwise angered by her uncle's dogged stubbornness. Can't he see they're only taking advantage of his foolishness? I give up.
It all started seven months ago, shortly after Jo lost his job at the company. In a last-ditch attempt to turn around his fortunes, he gambled his last paycheck on a lottery ticket. His blind boldness paid off and he won the draw. With what he maintains to this day to be his "hard-earned" money, Jo decided to open a coffee shop and, in so doing, finally be his own boss. Freedom. He didn't feel the need to over-think the matter; after all, coffee shops were prospering everywhere. I'll just pop in occasionally while my workers run the place. And when I've made enough money, I'll ask for Enna's hand in marriage.
But although Jo's winnings would have lent extravagant capital for the venture, he very quickly splashed it all on a new continental ride, gold jewellery for his two wives - that should stop them fighting for awhile - and several romantic escapades with the underaged lass he's been secretly keeping. Not having enough left to start his coffee shop was the least of his worries; the government offers preferential loan schemes for people like him - which, needless to say, he duly grabbed. It's a privilege for my kind. Jo felt proud and, with that, he opened Rose Cafe - named after his 14 year-old secret playmate. Lookin' good, Jo!
Fast forward seven months, however, Jo finds things aren't quite going according to plan. Rose Cafe is deep in the red, with repayments on his start-up loan now five months behind and a repo notice recently issued on his flashy car.
For a long time, the till and stock-in-trade never balanced, and Rose Cafe has since become infamously synonymous with poor service; hiring a dozen culturally-lazy, parasitic relatives saw to that. One by one, they'd all left in a carefully-conspired exodus, leaving Jo with an unworkable staff count of one, a mountain of debt due to suppliers and a complete tie-down at the shop.
Where have all the money gone? Where's the freedom I'm supposed to be enjoying as Boss? Simple-minded, under-educated and naturally lacking in business acumen, Jo is at a loss. For the first time since becoming Boss, he's feeling the heat - his pride dented, but not so his determination to continue looking good at all cost. My friends, Rose - more so Enna - mustn't know I'm broke.
Then, unaware that he'd rudely obtruded into his host's now-faraway thoughts, Wang startles Jo by asking for another coffee, this time offering to pay for the beverage. "Nope, I won't have it; you're all my guests", insists Jo, who orders another round of coffee and a generous serving of sausage rolls for everybody. Must look good.
As soon as the coffee is served, however, a short, rather displeased-looking man storms in. Almost immediately, Jo's face flushes deep scarlet, accentuating the acuteness of his chronic acne problem. Oh no, not now! His heart misses several beats; he starts to feel nauseous. It's Mr Ron, his landlord.
"You have the money, Jo?!", Mr Ron thunders, staunchly bent on not giving Jo any "face" in front of his customers. Some of the kids begin to cry. Jo quickly pulls his landlord to a corner out of earshot and says something audible only to the latter - palms pressed together, as if pleading.
"Five months, Jo.... five! No last chance! Last Friday last chance! Pay now!". Jo utters something, obviously distressed.
"Not my problem! Everything out today! Tomorrow I come take the keys, understand?!". With that, Mr Ron storms out of his property as abruptly as he'd made his fiery entrance a few moments earlier - his face, as the Chinese say, black as charcoal. Jo feels his knees buckle; he'd just been evicted by his landlord for failing to pay the last five months' rent.
To be honest, he'd seen this day coming but just hadn't been able to raise enough money to pay his landlord despite having pawned some of the jewellery he'd gifted his wives what seems now like an eternity ago. His priority, money-wise, has always been Rose; she makes him happy. What do I tell my friends? Almost instantly, an idea comes to him and he dawdles back to them - face still flush from embarrassment. Get a grip, Jo.... must look good.
"My l-l-l-landlord is terminating my lease without notice. S-s-s-someone offered him higher rental for the shop. For sure he'll be he-he-he-hearing from my lawyer this afternoon", Jo stammers, clearly shaken by Mr Ron's ferocity. Obligingly, Dino and Wang acknowledge his statement; they know what really happened. Feeling awkward by now, they wish their host well and duly take their leave, but not before offering to pay for the coffee and food. Although Jo could do with the extra cash, he declines the gesture. Must look good.
After his friends have gone, Jo pays his sole, overworked worker in kind by letting her have whatever she wants in the premises; he hasn't the money to compensate her otherwise. What do I tell the family? What do I tell Rose and Enna?
Confident he'll come up with a plausible story, Jo locks up after wishing his now ex-worker well and slowly walks towards the open car park. I'll think of something on the way home. But there's a problem. As he approaches his car, Jo notices one of the wheels had been clamped. The repo man. He lets out a sigh in disgust, looks skywards and, in an act of clueless defiance, curses the heavens. What have I done to deserve this?! I was a rich man once. Jo hasn't the slightest idea; he still doesn't get it. I'll just tell everybody the car's being reupholstered and that the shop will undergo renovation upgrades from tomorrow; that should buy me some time. Rose - more so Enna - mustn't know. Must look good.

Courtois: There is a lot less debate since Navas left Real Madrid
Thibaut Courtois insisted there was never any issue between himself and his former Real Madrid team-mate Keylor Navas.
Thibaut Courtois and Keylor Navas - Getty Images
Thibaut Courtois insisted there was never any internal strain on his relationship with Keylor Navas, though he acknowledged there is now much less focus on the Real Madrid goalkeeping situation following the latter's move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Navas completed a switch to PSG in September, with Alphonse Areola moving in the opposite direction to Madrid on loan.
Last season, both Courtois and Navas competed for the number one spot at Madrid, with the media and fans often debating over which one should be named as number one choice.
Now, those debates have been settled, with France goalkeeper Areola acting as Courtois' understudy, but the former Chelsea shot-stopper affirmed there were no issues between himself and Navas.
No entry. From every angle. #HalaMadrid #TC13 pic.twitter.com/2uHYBmWVP1
— Thibaut Courtois (@thibautcourtois) December 9, 2019
"In the end it is like in life. With some, you have better relationships and you talk more," Courtois told MARCA.
"He was a partner and there was always a good relationship. I try to help them both. I think it is more that there is no longer that debate from outside, because from inside we were two goalkeepers that trained well, as now with Areola who is a great goalkeeper.
"Then the requirement for me, day by day, has not changed. But there seems to be less debate outside."

2021 Co-MISSION Festival of New Works

BUY TICKETS HERE!
Links Hall (Chicago, IL) is proud to announce the 2021 Co-MISSION Festival of New Works, two groundbreaking weekends of new performance and public events. Representing some of the most talented young makers in Chicago from dance, performance art, puppetry, installation, and performance as social practice, six artists present works developed while in-residence at Links during the 2020-2021 season. This year's festival also features two evening-length performances of 2020 Fellow Darling Shear's Beatitude, a choreopoem of movement, fashion, and poetry. Recreating the spirit and percussive cadence of the Beat generation and spoken word poetry of related movements (Black Arts Movement), Shear and ensemble present work explored between January-June 2020, after COVID-19 caused cancellation of the June 2020 Fellows Showcase. All festival performances will be filmed and recorded at Links Hall's white box studio, and streamed live via YouTube.
Links Artistic Coordinator Aaliyah Christina shares, "COVID-19 brought on a restorative and spontaneous change of pace for this year's programming. This season's Co-MISSION artists have been right here with us for the ride. It has given us new ways to schedule time in the studio, and it's definitely given them new ways to devise performance work. I'm glad to have been able to work with this cohort so intensely, to keep each other honest about our progress (or roadblocks toward progress)."

Festival Performances
Elliot Reza Emadian's MASCCHAOS (Sunday, May 23 & Thursday, May 27, 7 pm) Rendered via experimental video, improvisational dance practice, written archive, and photographic stills, MASCCHAOS imagines a choreographic microcosmos–from beginning to vibratory end. The artist is accompanied by costumes designed by Latina-futurist, Larissa Almanza, and the shared knowledge of a cohort of women, queer, and non-binary co-authors from across the United States. Emadian chronicles the practice of seeing, watching, and echoing, presenting a shared experience of dancing alone, together.
Kierah King's *Viewership Intended for Re(Creational) use only* (Sunday, May 23 & Saturday, May 29, 7 pm) draws the viewer in as a witness to King and her ensemble's call for Constitutional Convention as they investigate the idea of "A More Perfect Union." Examining their own bodies & physicality and acknowledging what it means to be Seen in America through their own Constitution and on their terms, King's ensemble asks: "Can a generation addicted to working for societal acceptance explore what it means to be Seen as an individual and in Uni(s)on as a Communal and Radical act?"
Hannah Michal Santistevan's The Brink (Thursday, May 20 & Saturday May 29, 7 pm) demonstrates animosity and vigor through acts of dismissal, subtle moments of empathy, and durationally exhausted movements. A cast of dancers navigates the space in intricate patterns, with hidden sets of rules, emphasizing hierarchy and tribalism. The Brink questions how we learn or unlearn ideas of apathetic self-care, rather than focusing on immediate and individual success, to improve ourselves and connect with our communities. Choreographed by Hannah Santistevan, with contributions from the cast.
Darling Shear's Beatitude (Friday, May 21 & Sunday, May 30, 7 pm) is a choreopoem exploring the Beat Generation and its related aesthetics. With movement, fashion, and poetry, Shear and ensemble recreate the spirit and percussive cadence of the movement and trace the influence of the Beats on contemporary performance and literary practices. Beatitude integrates contemporary and historical lenses, from Beat poetry to spoken word of the Black Arts Movement, including the media's portrayal of Beatnik parody and stereotype.
Vanessa Valliere's Pool Party (Saturday, May 22 & Thursday, May 27, 7 pm) Pipe & Drape (Vanessa Valliere & John Gregorio) are two characters making their way through life, doing their best, trying their hardest. Living in parallel dimensions and coping with a growing sense of unease, Pipe and Drape suspect there is something "out there" for them. But is it really for them? And is it safe? This work-in-progress uses puppetry, physical theater, and elements of clown to investigate themes of identity, risk, routine, moments of connection, and the search to see something that is right in front of you.
Taimy Ramos Velázquez's 4 walls & 1 me (Saturday, May 22 & Friday, May 28, 7 pm) is a complicated layering of feelings and inconsistencies within the same human being, triggered by a very specific moment in time: Quarantine.
Cherrie Yu's Trio A Translation Project (Thursday, May 20 & Friday May 28, 7 pm) gathers performers and their loved ones to engage in a collaborative translation of the historical choreographic work—Yvonne Rainer's Trio A (1978). Incorporating rehearsal footage, filmed performances, and diary-style writing, the film offers a meditation on everydayness and performance. A Translation Project asks the questions, What can a body do? How can a body feel?
Elliot Reza Emadian is a gender-nonconforming interdisciplinary artist, teacher, and scholar. Their work occurs in the intersection of dance and choreography, video art and editing, sound and music, light and photography, and popular culture.
Kierah King graduated from Columbia College Chicago in May 2020 receiving her BFA in Dance with a Minor in Black World Studies. Kierah was homeschooled in Hartford, CT where she learned the power of service, education and creativity as central to life. Kierah advanced her studies at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts where she received her Arts Diploma, and then to Columbia College Chicago, where her passion for social justice, activism, and community building came through in different forms of performance and choreographic work. Kierah has presented work at the Centre National De La Danse in Pantin, France 2019. Premiered HA(B*tch)ually on the Columbia Dance Center stage in 2019 and again in Kalamazoo, Michigan for the American College Dance Association. Kierah last performed as a soloist in the Beyond The Bars Conference at Columbia University in New York 2020.
Hannah Michal Santistevan grew up in Colorado and relocated to Chicago in 2012. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance from Columbia College Chicago in 2016 and has performed with esteemed local artists and companies since 2017. As Santistevan finds her voice and place as a dance artist in Chicago, she is consistently finding herself in collaboration with visual and sound artists inside and outside of the performance venue. Santistevan's work often emanates a desperate journey to self-discovery through the lens of psychoanalysis, contemporary dance, and complimentary mediums. As for 2020-2021, she is in an ongoing collaboration with video installation artist, Yuge Zhou, and was a Co-MISSION 2021 resident at Links Hall where she will begin the early stages of creation for The Brink.
Darling Shear is a Chicago Native, but has roots in Atlanta where Darling started dance training. Darling attended North Springs Charter School of the performing arts where Darling was trained in Ballet, Modern, Jazz and African. Darling began dancing professionally right out of high school and in that time worked with many great choreographers. Highlights were working with Bubba Carr choreographer/artistic director to Cher for 12yrs and counting, Rhonda Henriksen soloist with Hubbard Street and Twyla Tharp, Tracy Vogt former Philadanco dancer, Hinton Battle the Original Scarecrow from the broadway production of "The Wiz," and Lauri Stallings Hubbard street soloist and founder/artistic director of gloATL. Darling moved back to Chicago the summer of 2011 to start Suna Dance, a collaborative artist group and had the first performance in November of 2011. In 2018 Darling was chosen as the cover model and also quoted in Micah Salkind's Oxford published book 'Do you remember house? Chicago's queer of color underground'. Following, Darling received the Between Gestures scholarship to Austria to attend Impulstanz in Vienna, the Chicago Dancemakers Forum fellowship, and Links Hall CoMission Fellowship (2020), along with a 3Arts nomination (2019). Darlings career has been one with a strong spiritual center and allowance of universal well-being.
Vanessa Valliere is a performer, clown, and puppeteer who creates solo work. She has appeared in the International Puppetry Festival, several National Puppet Slams, DragonCon, and other venues and events across the US. Vanessa performs and tours with Manual Cinema and she was a member of an ensemble of clowns/performers/creators for the Tour De Fat Festival for six years. Vanessa was a rehearsal director and performer with Theater Unspeakable, and she is a proud nerd-cheerleader for Chicago's thirty-piece circus punk marching band, Mucca Pazza.

The Voice 2014 auditions: Watch a first look at episode one
Posted January 9, 2014 12:10 by Josh Darvill
Here's a first look at this Saturday night's first Voice 2014 blind auditions, as Kylie Minogue gets all flustered.
The blushing singer is forced to hide behind her chair in the weekend's opening episode after originally turning for the talented singer.
Single Kylie was immediately won over by Leo Ihenacho's tones and was determined to get him onto her team after some of the other coaches pressed their buzzers too.
"Can I ask you what your name is?" Sir Tom asks.
Kylie snaps: "I don't care what his name is OK?"
Fortunately for Kylie, Leo – who previously appeared the band The Streets and took part in Celebrity Love Island – admits to having a fondness for her on the panel.
He tells the coaches: "I've fancied 'Charlene' [Kylie's character in Neighbours] since I was yay high."
The Voice UK blind auditions kick off this weekend with the new line up of coaches, which also includes Ricky Wilson.
As with last year, the four piece will be looking to form unbeatable teams of twelve singers based purely on their Voice.
The Voice blind auditions start this Saturday at 7PM, January 11 on BBC One.

Subtropical Malawi starts the year deep in the rainy season; humidity in January and February is well over 80%. Precipitation clears the haze from the air and sees orchids bloom on the Viphya Plateau.
Among the forests of the Viphya Plateau, Luwawa Forest Lodge has a calendar of annual events that begins with a weekend focusing on the plateau's profuse orchids.
The middle of the November-to-April rainy season. Think carefully about your travel plans: the climate is hot and steamy, rainfall and the risk of malaria are highest, and some reserve roads become impassable.
The end of the wet season. Not a great time for wildlife watching, as animals disappear into the well-watered vegetation, but the last opportunity until September to see migratory birds.
The beginning of the dry season, with mild temperatures before the winter cold hits higher areas. Good walking weather; wildflowers bloom on the Nyika Plateau.
Until August, log fires burn in areas such as Nyika, the Viphya Plateau and Mt Mulanje, with frosts as well as Mulanje's chiperone (low cloud and drizzle). Nationwide temperatures average 17°C to 27°C.
Running along the ridges of the Viphya Mountains, this tough 50km race is popular with experienced South African riders. Like them, after crossing the finish line you can tackle the three-day wilderness trail down to Lake Malawi.
This week-long June–July sailing extravaganza on Lake Malawi – claimed by promoters to be one of the longest freshwater sailing competitions in the world – covers about 500km, from Mangochi in the south to the Chintheche Strip in the north.
Originally only for Mt Mulanje porters, this 22km rocky run across rivers and gorges to the 2500m-high Chambe Plateau now has an international following. Hikers typically take around 13 hours to finish the route; the runners do it in three.
Mua's Kungoni Centre of Culture & Art is fascinating year-round, but this celebration of Malawian culture sends it into overdrive, with performances of Chewa, Yao and Ngoni song, dance and theatre. Courses on history and culture are also offered in this century-old Roman Catholic mission.
Inaugurated in 2015, this swimming, cycling and running contest includes both the lake and the national park, and the weekend in late August puts Cape Maclear in a party mood. Proceeds go to local NGOs and charities.
Around northern towns such as Nkhata Bay, Tonga locals celebrate the end of the harvest with malipenga dances. Malipenga imitates military drills, having been devised by northerners who fought alongside the British in WWI.
With humidity around 50% and high temperatures averaging 25°C to 37°C, September and October are the final months of the dry season and a great time to visit.
One of the region's largest spectacles, this three-day music festival features live acts from around Africa and Europe. It takes place in a different lakeshore venue each year, with proceeds benefiting charity.
In the spirit of bringing the mountain to Mohammed, Malawi's largest desert island brings the party to its shores by organising a barbecue- and music-packed lake cruise from Monkey Bay, for a weekend of cultural performances and beach sports.
October to April are the best months for birdwatching, with the most migratory visitors passing through. Until January, Böhm's bee-eaters are found in Liwonde National Park.
Normally held over three or four days in October, this multidisciplinary cultural festival has featured performers from Namibian singers to Jamaican dub poets. It didn't take place in 2016, but it will hopefully return in 2017.
Launched in 2012, the annual event displays the threads and celebrates the talent of Malawi's fashion houses. Tickets to the one-day show start around MK15,000, and 2016's event included a whiskey tasting, a cigar bar and a charity auction. It normally takes place in Lilongwe.
The beginning of the rainy season, but falls are certainly not consistent and the rains seem to start later every year, making this a feasible month for beach time and activities.
September to December are the best months to dive Lake Malawi, as you can see the cichlids' complex mating rituals and mouth brooding (oral incubation of their offspring). Visibility is also better before rains fatten the rivers, causing them to wash silt into the lake.
The rainy season begins in earnest, bringing storms flickering across the lake, thundering waterfalls in places such as Livingstonia, and abundant birdlife and vegetation. Although droughts make conditions unpredictable, the rains generally last until April.
Malawi is predominantly Christian (its Muslim minority is found mainly in the south) and at Christmas, as at most events, the locals happily clink bottles of their beloved Carlsberg Green. A festive atmosphere reigns in tourist towns such as Cape Maclear and Nkhata Bay.

Kathryn Graf, director of alumni relations at Daemen College, led the Jan. 12, 2016, #casesmc chat on student philanthropy.
At the University of Chicago, seventy-five to 80 percent of the senior class gives a gift because of the efforts from the Senior Class Gift Committee, our group of dedicated peer-to-peer fundraisers.
As we say at Daemen, there is a world of opportunity out there. And when it comes to students connecting with alumni, there is no better way to say you care than a simple thank you.
In this CASE podcast, the University of Chicago's Lori Hurvitz talks about how to create strategic partnerships between a student advancement organization and other divisions on campus—from dining to Greek life—to educate students about the importance of philanthropy.


Hillary Clinton clinched the Democratic party's presidential nominee. Hillary Clinton has locked up enough delegates to secure the Democratic party's presidential nomination, the Associated Press reports. The announcement comes ahead of a busy day for primaries as voters in California, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, New Jersey, and South Dakota go to the polls. Clinton's clinching of the nomination means she will be the first woman to head the ticket of a major US political party.
Australia's central bank signalled there won't be a rate cut anytime soon. The Reserve Bank of Australia kept its benchmark interest rate at a record low 1.75%, as expected. In its statement, the RBA said, "Taking account of the available information, and having eased monetary policy at its May meeting, the Board judged that holding the stance of policy unchanged at this meeting would be consistent with sustainable growth in the economy and inflation returning to target over time." However, the bank warned a stronger Aussie dollar could complicate things. The Australian dollar is up 1.1% at .7446 per dollar.
The Reserve Bank of India kept policy on hold. India's central bank held its key rate at 6.50%, as expected. RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan noted, "The inflation surprise in the April reading makes the future trajectory of inflation somewhat more uncertain." Additionally, the RBI retained its 2016 growth forecast of 7.6%. The Indian rupee ended higher by 0.3% at 66.7500 per dollar.
China's FX reserve fell again. China's foreign exchange reserves fell by $27.9 billion in May to $3.19 trillion, according to data released by the People's Bank of China. May's decline dropped China's hoard, which is the largest in the world, to its lowest level since December 2011, according to Reuters.
Eurozone GDP was revised up. Data from Eurostat showed the eurozone economy expanded by 0.6% in the first quarter, a bit faster than the previous look of up 0.5%. Additionally, annual GDP growth was revised up to 1.7% from 1.5%. According to Eurostat, "Among Member States for which data are available for the first quarter of 2016, Romania (+1.6%), Cyprus (+0.9%), Spain, Lithuania, Austria and Slovakia (all +0.8%), Bulgaria and Germany (both +0.7%) recorded the highest growth compared with the previous quarter. Decreases were registered in Hungary (-0.8%), Greece (-0.5%) and Poland (-0.1%), while GDP in Estonia remained stable." The euro is up 0.1% at 1.1361.
2nd round bids for Yahoo's internet business were due. Verizon Communications reportedly planned to submit a bid worth about $3 billion for Yahoo's internet business, a person familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal. The telecom giant reportedly isn't interested in other Yahoo assets such as patents and real estate, the report said. Private equity firm TPG and a team led by Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert are said to be among the other interested parties.
Ralph Lauren is about to announced a restructuring plan. The retailer is expected to announce its laying off up to 10% of its workforce and that it's closing some stores, according to WWD's Lisa Lockwood. "Several long time executives" are likely to be impacted by the layoffs. CEO and President Stefan Larsson is expected to announce the restructuring at Tuesday's Investor Day for analysts.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals reports. The embattled pharmaceutical company announced a loss of $1.08 per share, which was adjusted to a gain of $1.27 when factoring out one-time adjustments. Valeant said 2016 earnings will total $6.60 to $7 per share, which was below the $8.50 to $9.50 that was forecast by former CEO Michael Pearson back in March. Shares of Valeant are down close to 11% in pre-market trade.

CIP Endorses Statement of the Revolutionary Left Current in Syria
On Vandalism of Christian Churches in Al-Raqqah
by Stephen Suleyman Schwartz and Irfan Al-Alawi
http://www.islamicpluralism.org/2299/cip-endorses-statement-of-the-revolutionary-left
The Center for Islamic Pluralism, an international network of Muslim scholars, clerics, authors, journalists, Sufi shaykhs, and other believers, active in 32 Muslim-majority countries and Muslim-minority communities, endorses a statement by the Revolutionary Left Current in Syria, a movement against the dictatorship of Bashar Al-Assad, denouncing vandalism of Christian churches in the north-central Syrian town of Al-Raqqah.
According to credible reports, the Catholic church of Our Lady of the Annunciation and the Armenian Martyrs' Church in Al-Raqqah were attacked by terrorists from the so-called "Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Shams," an Al-Qaida affiliate. "Al-Shams" is the traditional Arabic name for Syria and the wider Levant.
Under the slogan, "Christians and Muslims Are One," the Revolutionary Left Current appealed to citizens of Al-Raqqah to join a demonstration against the infiltration of Al-Qaida into the Syrian civil war, in front of the Catholic church of Our Lady of the Annunciation, on September 25.
CIP calls on all its members and correspondents to pray for the protection of Christians, safety of the anti-extremist protestors in Al-Raqqah, and, generally, security of the moderate and anti-fundamentalist militants in combat against the Syrian regime.
We do not share the socialist ideology of the Revolutionary Left Current but we support their position equating and rejecting both the terrorism of Al-Assad and that of Al-Qaida. In addition, CIP is concerned especially to disseminate information on the role of Syrian fighters opposed to both forms of oppression.
May the merciful and compassionate king of the universe protect the people of Syria from further and worse atrocities.

STOC/FOCS PC meetings: Does nature of decisions justify cost?
I am just back from the FOCS 2017 program committee (PC) meeting. This is my second time attending a physical PC meeting, both times for FOCS. In the past I was sorry that I had to decline some invitations for personal reasons. Just like the previous instance, I was impressed with the depth and thoroughness of the discussion. I also had a great time sitting in the same room with so many esteemed colleagues, chatting about what's cool in the new research papers, and cracking nerdy jokes. It is also a privilege for me to hear what everyone has to say about what is going on. I even managed to have some quick research meetings here and there. During the flight I even proved a great theorem watched Trainspotting 2. And I had never been to Caltech: it is a great place with a moving history as told by the book in the drawer next to my bed in the Athenaeum.
However in the rest of the post I want to address the title. Throughout, by "PC meetings", I mean "physical" meetings as opposed to "virtual." Before I start, I want to stress two things. First, what I am about to say has absolutely nothing to do with this or any specific STOC/FOCS PC meeting, rather it is aimed to PC meetings in general. Second, I am not saying that the decisions made are "bad." Indeed I don't think a substantially better way to make decisions exists (here and in many other cases).
First, the experiment. As mentioned in a previous post, this time around I ran a little experiment: Right before the meeting started, I saved the ranking of the papers, based on the reviews and the offline discussion, weighted by confidence. Then I compared it with the final decisions at the end of the meeting (with the knowledge of the total number of papers accepted). There is a handful of papers that I have a conflict with and so I don't know about. Those I know about number 88. The two lists of 88 papers have edit distance 19, meaning that you need to change 19 papers in one list to get the other list. This is a 0.216 fraction of the papers. I consider this number negligible. Note that it is based on information that was entered in expectation of resolving many things during the meeting: extra rounds of offline discussion would have probably calibrated this much better. Think also how this compares with the NIPS experiment. In that case, the two lists of 37 papers have edit distance 21 (plus or minus one), which is a lot larger than the above. However STOC/FOCS decisions may be more "stable" than NIPS (would be fun to have any data on this).
A common experience is also that a large fraction of papers is a clear reject, a small fraction is a clear accept, and the rest are more or less rated like novels or movies; and I am not aware of a better rating scheme.
Second, how the decisions are made. I am not sure that decisions made during the meeting are significantly better than decisions made offline (I will use the word "offline" to mean "not in a physical meeting"). A meeting can start at 8:30AM and go past 6PM, with total break time about 1 hour. Many people are also jet lagged or exhausted. Working offline may be better. Sure, in a physical meeting you can literally grab someone by the arm and ask: Do you really think X should be accepted given Y? But in general there is very little time for this. On the other hand, in an offline discussion you can say: OK, we need a little extra expertise on papers x, y, z: reviewer w, please dig into it and report (happened to me). This supposedly should also take place before the physical meeting, but I think it's done less than it should be, because the feeling is that we are going to have a meeting anyway so we might as well resolve this then. Instead what happens at times during the meeting is that expertise is missing, and there's just no time to remedy. Sometimes, the in-person decision process can be rather chaotic. I want to stress again that I am not saying that *any* PC is not run well. My point is that this is the nature of the hard decisions that we need to make. Of course, email conversations can get very tedious. And you can also say that if there's no threat of a physical meeting people feel less pressure to write good reviews and make good decisions, though that's not my experience from SODA/CCC program committees. A good model could be to have a virtual meeting, with all the participants present at the same time. This could be done early on, and in fact having two such meetings could be the best thing. At my institutions we have many, many meetings virtually. During such meetings, you can still stare at someone in the camera and ask: Do you really think X should be accepted given Y?
There are many venues where decisions are made offline, such as CCC/CRYPTO/SODA/JACM/SICOMP. One can say that STOC/FOCS are more important than CCC/CRYPTO/SODA, but it's hard to say that they are more important than say JACM. An argument is then that journal decisions are different because they involve a lot more time and care. I tend to disagree with this last point. My impression is that journal and conference reviews are rather indistinguishable when it comes to computing the accept/reject bit. The difference is only in the second-order term: journals can spend more time on details and style.
Third, the location. This meeting was held at Caltech. The Theory festival at Montreal ended with a full day of amazing tutorials on friday. The festival is promoted as a "must-attend" event. So what we are telling the program committee is this: "Look, you really gotta attend the theory festival. If you need to attend anything at all this year, that's the meeting! Oh, and right after that (4PM) please catch a red-eye Montreal-LAX, and be ready to start at 8:30 AM on Saturday." Personally, I wanted to attend the theory fest, but I just couldn't to the above. So I skipped it in favor of the PC meeting.
If we really need to have physical meetings, I think we should combine them with some other popular event, or at least put them where the center of mass is. Typically, none of this happens, and the tradition seems to be that the meeting is held where the PC chair works, which may not even be where the conference is. I am not the only one who feels so, by the way, about this point and the others. In particular a past program committee in an act of rebelion organized a conference for themselves and co-located it with the PC meeting. But that's unusual, and it's clearly better to co-locate with the existing events, since attendance is already an issue. One argument is that the PC chair can offer a nice room with lots of support, which is hard to find elsewhere. I think this argument does not stand. The "support" consists in everybody bringing their laptops (an example of "downfall of mankind" discussed earlier), and wireless. I don't think it's so hard to get a room with a table and wireless in a hotel or another university. Finally, I think these meetings favor the United States even more disproportionately so than the conference itself. Indeed, STOC/FOCS are at least once in a while held elsewhere (one was in Rome, for example — I didn't go). I've never heard of a meeting done abroad, would be curious to know.
I am told that this year TCC has a physical meeting (not always the case) but that it is co-located with CRYPTO, a conference typically attended by most of the crypto community. This makes sense to me.
Look at some recent STOC/FOCS PC, and think of the cost of flying everybody to the meeting, and think of the result.
Fourth, the time. As discussed earlier, do we really have to hold such meetings during week-ends? Especially in the summer, I don't know of a reason for this. Why not Tuesday to Thursday? People don't teach, departments are empty, and flying is less chaotic. Plus maybe you want to spend your summer week-ends going to the beach instead of being shut in a windowless room with dozens of laptops? An argument is that international flights are sometimes cheaper if you stay during the week-end. I am not sure this really makes a difference, for a number of reasons (including: not so many people from abroad, and they typically stay extra days anyway).
My impression is that things are done this way mostly because of inertia: This is how it's been done, and now good luck changing it. Also, being a STOC/FOCS chair is (or is close to) a once-in-a-lifetime appointment, which clearly one doesn't want to screw up. Another argument I heard is that physical meetings are a better way to preserve tradition. That is, a young member of the PC learns better the trade through physical interaction.
If you put all the above things together, my impression is that the answer to the title is "no." The resources are probably enough for at least a fraction of a postdoc, or they could be used to allow more people to actually attend the conference. My concrete proposal is to have the next meeting offline, with a mixture of desynchronized discussion and virtual synchronized meetings. At least, we should try.
One of the earliest (and coolest) results in pseudorandomness is the following theorem that shows that -wise independence "fools" the And function.
Moreover, if we truncate the sum in Equation (1) to the first terms, it gives either a lower bound or an upper bound depending on whether is odd or even.
where the first equality holds because the are -wise independent.
Since under any distribution the expectation of the product of the first variables is at most the expectation of the product of the first , the result follows.
An interesting fact is that this theorem is completely false if the variables are over instead of , even if the independence is . The counterexample is well-known: parity. Specifically, take uniform variables and let . What may be slightly less known is that this parity counterexample also shows that the error term in the theorem is tight up to the constant in the . This is because you can write any function on bits as the disjoint union of rectangles.
A side aim of this post is to try a new system I put together to put math on wordpress. I'll test it some more and then post about it later, comparing it with the alternatives. Hopefully, my thinking that it was the lack of this system that prevented me from writing math-heavier posts was not just an excuse to procrastinate.

The barbacoa taco from the Arcelia taco bus is truly amazing. It consists of two lightly fried tortillas and lots of barbacoa meat, plus soft-cooked onions, salsa and a lime wedge. The barbacoa is moist and tasty too, not crusted over like the stuff at Pancho's carniceria down the street. Even more amazing is the fact that they can sell tacos like this for 99¢. I visited Arcelia after a comment from Ricardo Tubbs on my post about the machacado con huevo at La Plaza on Long Point and Bingle.
Tubbs recommended I go back to La Plaza for the fajitas. He also wrote that there was another truck I hadn't written about, Tacos Arcelia at Blalock and Long Point, that makes El Ultimo "look like garbage."
While I am astonished by the cheap prices and oversized tacos at Tacos Arcelia, I am not signing up for the idea that these make the tacos at El Ultimo Taqueria on Long Point at Antoine "look like garbage." It's manzanas and naranjas, if you ask me. Arcelia has a very limited menu. There are only six items: fajita, tripa, barbacoa, lengua, al pastor and chicharron. I can't get anyone at my house to eat tripas, lengua or chicharron (unless they are the big meaty ones). So that leaves me with three items to choose from.
Meanwhile, down the street at El Ultimo, you get choices galore. My favorite things to eat there are the outstanding breakfast tacos. Last time I got them, they had huevos with your choice of bacon, ham, potatoes, nopalitos, machacado (shredded beef), chorizo or roasted peppers on a corn or flour tortilla. The flour tortillas were handmade, and the chorizo was exceptional.
Thanks for the recommendation, Ricardo. I am always looking to expand my taco truck choices.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes Could Return Earlier Than Ever This Year
Who says autumn can't start in August?
By Mike Pomranz
For years now, the arrival of Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte has been as inevitable as Labor Day shocking us back into a post-summer reality. However, the exact date of the PSL's return has repeatedly been up for speculation. Typically, this ticking clock intensifies thanks to some other announcement: For example, earlier this week, Dunkin' announced its seasonal pumpkin offerings would be arriving on August 21 — leaving Starbucks fans to wonder what their chain was waiting for. But it appears PSL lovers won't have to wait much longer: The Pumpkin Spice Latte is rumored to be returning on August 27.
Though Starbucks itself has yet to comment, Business Insider reported that August 27 would be the return date citing "workers at the coffee chain." Writer Kate Taylor then presented some pretty compelling information supporting this date. Charting every PSL release back to 2011, Taylor points out that the official release of the PSL had always been the Tuesday after Labor Day, albeit with early promotional releases for certain customers. Last year, however, Starbucks got rid of this early release program, instead opting to simply make PSLs available for everyone on the Tuesday before Labor Day, August 28. Assuming the coffee chain takes the same approach this year, that would place the 2019 PSL release date as… Tuesday, August 27.

Interestingly, Business Insider also points out that August 27 would be the earliest the PSL has ever made its official return, a fact that will certainly play into the hands of people who complain that pumpkin spice season arrives earlier (too much earlier) every year. However, August 27 isn't the earliest release date when promotional early releases are taken into account, so it's not like Starbucks will have suddenly moved the PSL release up to July.
We reached out directly to Starbucks to see if they would be willing to spill the (coffee) beans on their official PSL plans, but the brand wouldn't confirm the rollout date saying, "We're not quite ready to reveal our plans for this year, but if you're looking for a reason to celebrate the season, stop by your nearest grocery store and pick up one of our fall products, including the brand-new Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Creamer, as well as pumpkin spice flavored ground, packaged and ready-to-drink products, and even pumpkin spice cookie straws! If you still want more, please visit the Leaf Rakers Society. It's where we celebrate fall, all year long!"
That said, the supposed release date is less than two weeks away, so it's not like anyone is going to be waiting too long regardless.

Translation:This is a big spider!
Can't it be: "This big spider!"?
No. Maybe if we had some neuter noun phrase (then "to" really could mean "this" as a determiner), but "pająk" is masculine. Ergo, your sentence (or rather an exlamation) would be "Ten duży pająk!"
Wouldn't it be Tamto duży pająk! if say that's?
In this case "To" replaces the expression made of demonstrative pronoun "to" [this] and the verb "jest" [is]. The demonstrative pronoun "tamto" does not have such an ability, and in fact, "tamto" written alone is weird in Polish, in this sentence it requires for example an additional "to" ;-) - "Tamto, to duży pająk"
"To" is a special word, or rather 5 words that have the same spelling.
1) One of the most important pronouns. They very often replace that, what in English is written this, it or even the. "To" is used for the nouns that have either neutral or unknown gender (while asking "what is this?" about an unknown object); there is also form "ta" for feminine nouns and "ten" for masculine.
Attention 1: "To to jabłko, o którym mówimy" (This is the apple that we are talking about) - here are 2x "to": case 1 and case 2, side by side!
Attention 2: With "to", you have to use the noun in nominative case: "Pies to zwierzę"; "Warszawa to stolica Polski"; "Ania to dobra uczennica". With "jest" you have to use the noun in instrumental case: "Pies jest zwierzęciem"; "Warszawa jest stolicą Polski"; "Ania jest dobrą uczennicą". This thread can also be interesting: "To jest kaczka"
Attention: In this sample dialogue: "Źle wyglądasz. Are you sick? -- To nie to. Mój kot dziś zdechł." (You look bad. Are you sick? -- No, it's not that. My cat died today.) - there are 2x "to": case 3 and case 1. The phrase "To nie to" or "Nie, to nie to" is a very popular expression serving as an introduction to explanation of negative answer.
5) A particle serving in a sentence as a sort of interlude, for example to separate the known (or obvious information) from something new, or to put more stress on that: "W zeszłym roku o tej porze, to lało" (Last year in this season, it was heavily raining); "Tę książkę, to pamiętaj mi oddać" (That book, well, remember to give it back to me).
Thank you for this. Being around native polish people, this word is used frequently and now I understand why. It will take awhile for me to learn all of these permutations.
no. we never use tamto in "that is", only in "that spider" - "tamten pająk"
Could this be 'it is a big spider' or would that be different?
Yes. Both "it" and "this" can be translated into Polish to, and to can be translated as "it" or "this". No big difference in Polish.
Shouldn't it be 'To jest' for it to translate to 'this is'?
Why does 'this is a big apple' = 'to jest duzy jablko' but the above sentance doesn't have jest in it?
To duży pająk. / To jest duży pająk.
To duże jabłko. / To jest duże jabłko.
However, the 'jest' is kind of redundant, since it doesn't add any meaning.

Spot that leopard: Sri Lanka wildlife tours and safaris
BY Lucie, Yonder escapologist
The thrill of Sri Lanka wildlife holidays is uniquely timeless. The hushed silence of the forest floor interrupted by the sudden, shrill call of a bird and the rustle of branches, and the ever-present prospect of spotting a cleverly camouflaged big cat amidst the scrub – the visual and aural rush of a Sri Lanka wildlife safari defies description. It is the sort of travel experience that leaves an indelible impression on all those who experience it.
When it comes to Sri Lanka wildlife tours, the island's compact size works as a distinct advantage. Not only is the tiny nation among the most biodiverse countries in Asia, with as many as 26 protected national parks, but most of these are also within easy reach of capital Colombo. Given how convenient it is to travel to the country's most popular wildlife hotspots – such as Yala, Udawalawe and Wilpattu National Parks – it doesn't require extensive planning to include a safari experience in your travel itinerary, or even plan a dedicated Sri Lanka wildlife tour.
Most tourists to the island flock to Yala National Park, located on the southeastern tip of the country – for good reason. Bordered by the Indian Ocean along its southern edge, Yala offers a unique confluence of scrubland and coastal wilderness. But its international reputation hinges on the fact that it has one of the highest population densities of Sri Lanka's stealthy apex predator – the Panthera pardus kotiya or the Sri Lankan leopard. Simply put, your chances of spotting a leopard in the wild are particularly high at Yala National Park.
The thrill of encountering these reclusive big cats – apart from the Elephas maximus maximus or Sri Lankan elephant, the Sri Lankan sloth bear and a variety of other mammals and birds – within a relatively well-defined area is one of the reasons why Yala continues to be the most-visited wildlife park in the country. Yala is one of Sri Lanka's pricier tourist attractions, however, compared to wildlife parks in other parts of the world – such as South Africa, where safaris usually cost several hundred dollars per person – Yala's rates are very reasonable.
On the flip side, this has meant that Yala has become a victim of its own popularity in recent years. Frequently busy with noisy jeeps, it can seem a tad overexposed and commercial in comparison to some of the other national parks in the country.
Two leopards spotted on a granite outcrop in Yala National Park
Although it is now overshadowed by Yala, Wilpattu National Park on the northwestern coast, was once considered the leopard capital of the country. The country's largest national park, Wilpattu is named after its chief feature: a number of 'villus' or natural lakes that dot its sprawling landscape. Natural reservoirs that fill up during the monsoon season, Wilpattu's water bodies provide a lush counterpoint to the arid jungle landscape.
Closed for 25 years during Sri Lanka's three-decade-long civil war, Wilpattu National Park reopened to the public in 2010. A camera survey conducted by the Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation Trust in 2014-15 found that the park had a population of 49 leopards. Given the park's size, leopard sightings may not be as frequent as in Yala, but there is still a good chance that you will spot a big cat or two, in addition to a variety of reptiles, mammals and birds.
Leopards may be extremely rare in Udawalawe National Park, but the country's third most visited wildlife destination is sure to satisfy your hankering for the quiet outdoors. Located just south of the country's Central Highlands, Udawalawe has the largest population of wild elephants on the island. (In fact, it is the only national park where an elephant sighting is guaranteed on every safari, making it perfect if your interest is elephant holidays in Sri Lanka). With acres of scrub and grassland, Udawalawe is a quieter alternative – and antidote – to the overcrowded wildlife experience.
Each of Sri Lanka's national parks is distinct, offering a snapshot of the country's diverse landscapes and the species that inhabit them, making them a key ingredient in Sri Lanka private tours. From remote Gal Oya National Park, which is home to a population of 'swimming elephants', which have evolved over generations to swim from island to island in search of food, to the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is particularly rich in birdlife, Sri Lanka adventure tours truly spoil you for choice. And of course, you can combine the amazing wildlife with culture, Tea Country, cities and the island's superlative beaches in an itinerary created uniquely for you.
Here are the best times to visit the main parks:
Yala National Park: February to July
Wilpattu National Park: May to early October
Udawalawe National Park: May to September

Q: Mocked MVC Session with its method seems not called when verify in assert I followed tutorial here for mocking session in http context
I setup like:
var session = new Mock<SessionStateBase>();
session.Setup(s=>s.Clear());

and then add in context
context.Setup(c=>c.Session).Returns(session.Object);

And I use it to setup controller
var controller = new MyController();

context = MvcHelper.FakeHttpContext();
controller.SetFakeControllerContext(context);
controller.Index();

context.Verify(c=>c.Session.Clear(), Times.Once); // here's problem, UT says that is never called.

and my action looks like:
public ActionResult Index() {

   this.Session.Clear();

}

I debugged the test and I reach line where session clear method is called.
Why verify is failed ?

A: Verify failed because you are verifying the wrong mock.
The setup for Clear was on the session
session.Setup(s => s.Clear());

but you are calling the verify on context.
Update the test to verify on the session
session.Verify(_ => _.Clear(), Times.Once);

For what you have to work you would have had to setup the context like this
context.Setup(_ => _.Session.Clear());

Two letters from parents of 2 years of work in the Public School.
• My girl was transformed from a fearfull child to an efficient, self assured and dynamic child. With full confidence towards people and different faces it was a difficult situation for her to surpass. She defends her opinion with arguments and she is not afraid the criticisms from others (and/or mine). She has learned to organize her time and she puts priorities so that annihilates her stress. She has made a lot of new friends. I became more discreet, less anxious and I now I trust my child, I recognize her abilities and actions. The most important is that finally I separate my own fears and feelings from hers. Our daily life has become better and ourinterpersonal relationship-connection are deeper and happier.
• My son was overwhelmed with anger. We were the those to be blamed for this. With the Self-esteem program he opened up little by little. His friends started to come closer to him, and they have now accepted him. He no longer feared of dyslexia and he began to believe in himself. He now says his opinion fearlessly and he doesn't accept any insults. Now he set goals for his future. I was glad to hear from the professors in High school that he is the best child.
