EDITORIAL: Barbarians of Central Europe?
The 60th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Josef in 1908 was one of the most lavish celebrations in the history of the Habsburg monarchy. For three hours, 12 000 people paraded before the Emperor; marching at the head were marshals and representatives of the aristocracy, followed by 19 groups in historical costumes, depicting the history of the House of Habsburg, and finally representatives of the nationalities inhabiting the 50-million Empire, ranging from Galicia to Bosnia and from Innsbruck to Lviv. It would seem the best possible proof of the might of the Habsburg monarchy and Vienna, the European capital of music and entertainment, the city of Gustav Mahler and Sigmund Freud.
But this costly event completely missed the mark. First, Hungarians and Czechs, the two most numerous non-German nations of the Empire, boycotted the anniversary of the Emperor and did not show up at the festivities. Second, "during the spectacle presenting 'fellow citizens' largely unknown to anyone, that is Ruthenians, Romanians or Croats," writes Marc Ferro in his book Resentment in History, "the Viennese suddenly realized that they were 'no longer at home'. It dawned on them what a multinational Empire really meant and they were terrified."
The chapter of his book devoted to Austria Ferro entitled "The Abyss of Resentment." Today the whole Europe wallows in resentment. European Union leaders recently congratulated themselves in Zagreb on accepting Croatia to the EU, but Western tabloids commented on this event in a similar vein to the Vienna Simplicissismus , when in 1908 Croats were shown as ragged bandits "or at least barbarians through and through" (Ferro). In April 2016, the Dutch showed the finger to Ukrainians dreaming about Europe.
The European Union is increasingly resembling the Habsburg monarchy. And many Europeans these days have the feeling that "they are no longer at home." Western Europeans do not want strangers, for fear of losing their welfare state. Central Europeans do not want strangers, for their welfare states are barely alive. At the same time, contrary to the myth of Central European heterogeneity, Poland, the Czech Republic, or Hungary are among the most ethnically homogeneous countries in Europe. They ceased to be multinational as a result of World War II, and after 1989 they largely abandoned the imperfect social security system from the Communist era. Now they are offered Western migration solutions without prospects for a Western welfare state.
Not surprisingly, the Central European myth founded on the idea of returning to Europe is now replaced by a Central European utopia. It is a vision of self-sufficient, nationalist-conservative societies, ethnically homogenous, focused on defending their current lifestyle—without refugees, immigrants, Muslims, with a strong welfare state, domestic capital, and industry. In an extreme, proto-fascist version of this myth Central Europe is presented as the last bastion of "normality," "a redoubt of the white race," a firewall guarding against multiculturalism and leftist lunacy, progressivism, German hegemony, neo-colonialism, globalization, and so on. And importantly, the sources of the alleged threats are perceived to lie to the West of the Oder and Elbe rather than to the East of the Bug River and the Don.
Thus, the liberal-conservative myth of Central Europe, which so successfully supported the modernization of our part of the world within the prospect of joining the EU, is now replaced by a radical, nationalist-conservative utopia of Central Europe, generating resistance against the West and its institutions such as the EU or NATO. The politicians of the French National Front or the German AfD find worthy partners in the East of the continent. They share their hatred for Muslims, immigrants, and refugees. It is too little to build a common Europe on, but maybe enough to destroy it.

In today's era of ubiquitous tech, it's only natural that someone would go to great lengths to convert a cheap smoker into an automatic cooking machine, or have it text you once it's finished cooking. If your appetite is not yet sated after checking those out, here a few more tasty morsels to tempt you.
← Let There Be Automated Blinds!
A charred epoxy/phenolic lining probably isn't terribly food safe but then again, smoking food probably isn't the best idea either from an overall health perspective.
Grilling meat is worse than smoking it. I suppose it depends on the technique in use, but in general creating char on the meat from burning the fat in it is the higher risk.
This is why heating meat with electricity is much better for your health. There is no reason to destroy your DNA for a meal.
Who in their right mind puts meat straight over the friggin fire?
It's the hydrocarbons that attach to your food that damage your DNA. Do it enough and you get cancer.
Let me guess. Ya'll are from California?
A linesman pliers with two nails taped (electrical tape) toward the edge of the lower clamping surface and one in the middle of the upper clamping surface actually works quite well as a crimper.
"Looks" mean nothing to function. In a sane fashonless world, looks is what function looks like. The connection should be at the rear and the final flue at the front to get cross flow.
Unless the upper barrel consists of two chambers connected at the opposite end. Then you can have intake and exhaust at the same end.
Though temp control will be a bit difficult with that.
The builder says he put in stone slabs to redirect the smoke.
Maybe he just caught the flue? It is that season again….
I was always under the impression that an oil drum would always have oil in the pores of the metal. no amount of heating will keep it from leaching out, even if you made a large fire in it first.
I'd think the heat would burn it out, even down deep in the pores. But I could be wrong. I often am.
Metal doesn't have pores unless it's some sintered stuff or your particularly bad at welding. Even then porosity isn't quite the same.
As for the crimps & seams, they should be oil free after a couple good high heat burns. That said, use a barrel that held food safe compounds.
I used barrels that had food-grade propylene glycol (animal feed antifreeze) so I didn't have to worry about contamination. Still burned them out pretty well first. I find it's hard to keep temperatures high enough. Excellent for getting smoke flavor into meat (almost too good sometimes) but huge wood/charcoal hog. Very intefficient. I did dual 3″ chimneys at either end baffled to require a winding smoke path instead of a single chimney, diffuser plate along bottom. I should probably do a writeup/blog post or something to share.
And to the naysayers… Hackaday (to me) is as much about building cool stuff and exercising creativity in construction. I think this qualifies.
I do like the smoker!!
It might not be a hack per se, but a diy smoker is a really fun and easy project. Drum smokers especially, for someone who wants to smoke food you can build a better smoker than you can buy from a store.
Aha … the whole neighborhood would be sooooo happy with the smoke and the smell. In particular those two houses just by the fence.
No wonder everyone hates everyone else in suburbia Australia.

Does Our 'Quantified Society' Herald The Death of Individualism?
Hosted by SapientNitro
Venue: The Square, SapientNitro

Panel debate, followed by 'FREE' networking drinks reception.
People are inherently social animals. The bonds we share and the ties we make have not only sustained us since time began, but define us as a species. We now live in a Quantified Society – a world full of data, where every action is recorded and measured, which gives us the ability to extend and enhance our capabilities, skills and transform lives in ways that we could never have imagined.
The optimum value in our data is realised only when it is shared for the greater good, to the extent that our notions of privacy, defined by individualism, will ultimately prove to be unsustainable. The panel will discuss how these changes will challenge society, government, organisations, brands – and ultimately the defining quality of what makes us human, our morality.

4 Insider Secrets to Getting Hired at Google
Shane Jones
Maglara/Shutterstock
Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a Noogler?
Did you say yes, or did you say, "Huh? What's a Noogler?"
A Noogler is the affectionate term Google uses to refer to new hires. While you may never have heard that word before, you've probably heard about Google's (legendary) workplace culture.
With that said, here are a few facts that probably won't surprise you. As one of the leading technology companies in the world, Google was ranked number one for the sixth time on Fortune 100's list of best companies. More than two million people apply for jobs at the company each year, making it more difficult to get hired at Google than it is to get admitted to Harvard.
Working there might sound like an unlikely dream, but just because the odds are high, doesn't mean they can't be ever in your favor!
So, how can you show Google you've got the stuff it takes to be a Noogler? Here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. You Don't Need to Be One Type of Person
You might think: I'm not a tech superstar, so there's no reason for me to even check out what roles Google is hiring for. But that's not an entirely accurate assessment.
Google's Senior Vice President of People Operations, Laszlo Bock, is adamant about looking for something called "role-related knowledge." So, when you look at the company's hiring page, you'll see everything from engineering to finance to real estate and workplace services. And you can bet that the best candidates for each of these roles will have different backgrounds and areas of expertise.
2. You Do Need to Know How to Inspire a Team
What do you picture when you think about leadership? At Google, being in a position of power is not about fancy titles, prime parking spots, or shaking hands and kissing babies.
In an interview with Quartz, Bock points out that when people are hired for management roles at Google, they have to shift from being the boss in the stereotypical sense of telling a team what to do to supporting their employees' ideas.
He says, "…the trick isn't making the decisions as a leader, but figuring out how to get the best out of the team. It's a really big pivot for a lot of people."
In the same interview, Bock continues:
[At Google] you realize that you have a lot less levers, control, and power than you do at a lot of other companies. You don't decide who to hire, or how big a bonus somebody gets, you don't decide who gets promoted.
You have to realize, first of all that you're surrounded by amazing people, and number two, you don't have any of the traditional leverage that's used to get teams to do things. You're forced to figure out how to add value without relying on power, and you do that by influencing, by giving people the opportunity to learn, and giving people more freedom.
In other words, Google is not for the power-hungry. If you want to be hired as a manager, highlight how you'll inspire and support your team, rather than talk about personal ideas that you'd like to have your minions execute.
3. You Have to Be Tough
What's a four letter word for perseverance? A little something called "grit."
Google really likes people who can stick it out when challenges arise and there isn't an obvious right answer. You can show your grit by including an example of a time you didn't give up in your cover letter, or use an interview answer to discuss a challenge you overcame.
Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman at Google, explains that he sees attitude and smarts as a package deal. He has said, essentially, that what distinguishes talented students who will succeed from those who won't is "their persistence."
4. You Should Have Googleyness
Despite how it sounds, Googleyness has nothing to do with Christopher Walken's 2008 SNL skit for the Googley-eyed gardener.
Googleyness is another term the company coined to describe what it means to be the right cultural fit. Bock explains Googleyness as "people who are comfortable with ambiguity, have intellectual humility, and can bring something new to the mix."
Googleyness is also mentioned on the "How We Hire" page. Someone who has it is an innovator who works well with others.
Yes, the competition to get hired at Google is fierce. But if you really want to work there, you can achieve your dream by showing that you have what it takes to succeed at the company.

"Pedirse el cuerpo" - meaning, use, examples and correct exact expression
In a recent podcast I heard: "pedirse el cuerpo." It did not have a transcript so, forgive me if I do not have it correct. The podcast was about the pleasures of reading. I did not have so much luck finding a definition in dictionaries.
I think I heard in another podcast that "no tengo cuerpo para ir a bodas" means "I do not feel like going to weddings". Is this the same?
I checked in DLE; it defines it as "desear/apetecer" - to want or feel like. This seems to fit. They put the phrase as "Pedirle a alguien el cuerpo algo". How does that work then? Could anyone provide examples of its use please?
Glorfindel♦
Bluelion7Bluelion7
The DLE entry (within cuerpo) is pedirle a alguien el cuerpo algo. This is the only way in which one can cite a phrase like this generically. (Pedirse el cuerpo does not mean anything, but even if it did, it would not give that result when conjugated.)
The phrase employs the verb pedir in its usual syntax and is pretty much directly translatable into English. "El cuerpo me pide fiesta" means literally "The body asks me for party", that is, "My body demands partying". The things that "the body demands" can be varied: uncountable nouns like fiesta or pizza or descanso, countable nouns like una cerveza or una siesta, or infinitive phrases like salir or ir de parranda (you are seeing a theme there, I suppose).
In the first person singular we say "El cuerpo me pide", in the second person singular El cuerpo te pide, etc. It is possible to use the possessive instead of the indirect object pronoun and say "Mi cuerpo pide", "Tu cuerpo pide". It is rarer, but sanctioned by no less than Gloria Estefan.
pablodf76pablodf76
Technically you could still say "pedirse el cuerpo" if you were somehow picking bodies, as in "me pido el cuerpo de la derecha", but it seems unlikely to appear in daily conversation
– LordHieros
Thanks. I understand how to use it now, a bit like" gustar" etc. However, in it's phrasal form/infinitive,I still find it strange. Where does the" algo" and "alguien" come into it? Also, the phrase seems to get reversed when it is conjugated?? Also, is there the expression for "tener cuerpo"to indicate that you want or do not want to do something?
– Bluelion7
You have to mention algo and alguien so that the person who reads it in this generic form understands which (let's say) slots there are in the structure, and how one has to fill them. Otherwise you cannot go from "pedir el cuerpo" to "el cuerpo me pide fiesta" in any way. ("Pedirse" wouldn't work but it would also give the impression that the verb is reflexive, which it isn't.)
– pablodf76
I don't know the expression "tener cuerpo" and it doesn't appear in the dictionary. Maybe it's literal: "to have a body (of a certain kind)". A related one is "darle el cuerpo a uno para algo" (again the generic pronouns!) which means "to have a body that is up to some thing".
@Bluelion7 think of it as "my body asks me (for/to do) something". A alguien refers to me, and algo refers to something.

A Chinese message at the G20
On March 26, 2020, an unusual online G20 summit took place. The meeting was aimed to discuss actions regarding the fight against the global coronavirus pandemic. The deliberations were initiated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which this year presides over the organisation. It was the first online summit in the history of the G20, as well as the first major multilateral event with President Xi Jinping since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
In his speech to G20 members, Xi proposed four initiatives. Firstly, to convene a meeting of G20 health ministers to improve the exchange of information about medicines, vaccines and pandemic control. He also suggested launching an initiative to help developing countries with the support of the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Secondly, he pointed out that the international community must address the coronavirus problem together. He suggested the establishment of a global network of control and treatment. China has created an online information centre devoted to COVID-19 to which all countries are invited. It can help in speeding up research and creating a vaccine. Xi also suggested establishing regional communication mechanisms for public health emergencies.
Thirdly, supporting international organisations. China supports the WHO in directing global efforts to develop knowledge-based and appropriate control, treatment and to minimise the spread of the coronavirus abroad. Xi called the G20 members for improving the exchange of information about combating the pandemic, with the support of the WHO. He proposed to convene a high-level meeting on international public health security.
As the last and perhaps the most important point, the improvement of international macroeconomic policy coordination was mentioned. Xi said, "We need to jointly keep the global industrial and supply chains stable". He called all G20 members for acting together – reducing tariffs, removing barriers and facilitating unrestricted trade flow. To achieve this, an action plan for communication and institutional action within the group should be established immediately.
If content prepared by Warsaw Institute team is useful for you, please support our actions. Donations from private persons are necessary for the continuation of our mission.
In his speech, Xi says that "from day one of our fight against the outbreak, we have put people's life and health first". This is not true, because initially, the CPC was suppressing information about the cases of the coronavirus and trying to hide it from the world and its citizens by blocking unwanted content on the Internet. The current rhetoric is to show the devotion and commitment of the party from the beginning of the pandemic.
President Xi, underlined the promoted by him "community of human destinies", which is the readiness to share good practices and to carry out joint research. The narrative is intended to show openness, generosity and good organization of China, which can lead the world in the future and now become a leader in the fight against coronavirus.
China encouraged international cooperation, especially with the WHO. This is interesting because yet in January, when the WHO took the side of China, it reported that the coronavirus does not pose a threat to the world. It is also worth recalling that the current leader of the WHO, Tedros Ghebreyesus, in the past, was accused of covering up three cholera epidemics in his home country. He also became the head of one of the most important UN agendas thanks to, among others, China's lobbying.
The biggest problem for the CPC is to maintain stability and steady growth of the economy. Articles about China as a stabilizer and antidote to the current disastrous global economic situation have been appearing in the controlled Chinese media. The call for the maintenance of supply chains is aimed at making countries refrain from changing imports of products from China and abandon plans to restore their industrial capacities.

A Norwegian show jumper has lost his appeal over a ban and fine for using a prohibited substance on his horse.
Tony Andre Hansen appealled to the Court of Arbitration in Sport (CAS) in January after the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) banned him from competition for 135 days and ordered he be fined Swiss Francs 3,000 (£1,870) with Swiss Francs 8,000 (£4,900) legal costs.
Mr Hansen's horse Camiro tested positive for the banned substance capsaicin — along with four other show jumpers' mounts — at the Beijing Olympic Games in August 2008.
The Norwegian Olympic show jumping team was stripped of its bronze medals won at Hong Kong as a result of the FEI tribunal's ruling on 22 December 2008.
Mr Hansen denied using capsaicin and appealed to the CAS after his suspension had been served.
But today the court confirmed both the ban and its knock-on effects on the Norwegian team should stand.
FEI secretary general Alex McLin said: "The FEI welcomes the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport.


You have waited by way of 9 months of pregnancy, made it by means of early labor, and the birth of your baby is drawing close to. This tightening is named Braxton-Hicks contractions. This is a guide to what types of contractions you would possibly expertise, what they'll feel like, and learn how to tell when it's time to head to the hospital. As labor progresses, these contractions will help get your child into place, and can change into stronger, extra intense, and closer collectively.
These contractions are organized, coming at common intervals of time. You could begin to really feel a tightening and hardening of your abdomen all through your pregnancy, as your physique starts prepping for the work to come. So for everyone wanting to know what contractions really feel like, I will tell you about mine. Contractions round this time may get extra intense and extra frequent, they usually may cause some discomfort.
Braxton Hicks contractions are contractions that do not lead to labor and delivery. True labor contractions, which could begin out as an occasional, uncomfortable tightening and hardening of your stomach, will slowly build to one thing more intense – like actually bad menstrual cramps or gasoline pains. Early contractions could really feel like interval ache.
For some women, contractions are common and painful from the start, from when the cervix starts to open (dilate). Analgesics like Demerol help to uninteresting pain, while holding some feeling and muscle movement intact. Time your contractions and take note of any other signs you're experiencing so you can report them to your doctor. The contractions will come quickly and final from 60-90 seconds as your cervix dilates to 10 cm for supply.
From the forms of contractions you could experience throughout pregnancy to when to call your practitioner, this is the a hundred and one on the all-important spasms that carry your child to your arms. The place of your child , the power of your labour and the way you are feeling physically and emotionally can all have an effect. Every contraction will not essentially be more painful or longer than the last one, but the intensity does build up as real labor progresses.

Glacial Lake Albany was a prehistoric North American proglacial lake that formed during the end of the Wisconsinan glaciation. It existed between 15,000 and 12,600 years ago and was created when meltwater from a retreating glacier, along with water from rivers such as the Iromohawk, became ice dammed in the Hudson Valley. Organic materials in Lake Albany deposits have been carbon dated to approximately 11,700 years ago. The lake spanned approximately  from present-day Poughkeepsie to Glens Falls.

Lake Albany drained about 10,500 years ago through the Hudson River due to post-glacial rebound. When the lake drained it exposed the sandy and gravelly glaciolacustrine deposits left by the glacier, along a broad plain just west of Schenectady, where the Mohawk emptied into the lake. Dune and deltaic sands, containing lenses of silty sand, silt and clay, compose the topsoil which now underlies the Albany Pine Bush. Beneath the surficial deposits are lake-bottom silt and clay, which overlie till and shale bedrock. A small rill caused by the lake's drainage created Patroon Creek, Sand Creek, Lisha Kill, Shaker Creek, Delphus Kill and the Salt Kill in the town of Colonie, New York.

The Leiber & Stoller Story: Shake 'Em Up & Let 'Em Roll Vol 3 1962-1969 Various Artists (Songwriter Series)

CDCHD 1156
This month we are celebrating the release of the third and final volume of Ace's salute to the songs and productions of rock'n'roll songwriters supreme, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It's a volume that takes their career through from the early 60s, up to the end of that decade – the point where their work begins to appeal to a broader audience than ours. Like its two predecessors, the CD shows that Leiber and Stoller were always two or three steps ahead of their contemporaries.
Many people think of them just as rock'n'roll and/or R & B songwriters. As our CDs show they could do 'all that and more' where the art of popular song writing is concerned. They had taken everything from blues to teen pop in their stride in the 1950s, and these skills helped them come to terms with diverse styles, including soul, bubblegum, MOR and even country music, in the 1960s. The scope of the material here is something to be admired and, hopefully, enjoyed by those who check it out.
L & S wrote classics in the 60s, too. Songs like On Broadway, Jackson, I Who Have Nothing and Is That All There Is are as worthy of the accolade of 'all time great' as are Hound Dog, Smokey Joe's Café from the duo's earliest rushes of creativity. It's a fact that some of the finest recordings of the 1960s bear the names of Leiber and Stoller as writers.
Leiber and Stoller took their place among the all time greats many years ago, and happily they will be able to enjoy Ace's three volume salute to their musical achievements. We've worked closely with them and Mike's son, Peter, on the series and its content enjoys their endorsement (although we had to twist their collective arms a few times to get them to agree to include some of the tracks, which they perhaps didn't like as much as Mick Patrick and I did). We've enjoyed working on this series, even when we've had to find substitutes for contractually unavailable tracks - as many great L & S-penned recordings currently are.
Even though that's "all there is" from Ace as far as this series is concerned, we hope that it will encourage everyone to dig deeper into the work of two of the greatest songwriters and producers of the 20th century. Shake 'em up, and let 'em roll!

What Happened to The Storm Rangers?
Remember when the NBC O&O's trotted out the Storm Rangers?
They made you believe that each station had one, but that is not the case.
But, ever since they launched the Storm Rangers with slick promos and hype, they have been about as hard to find as Brian Stelter's belt buckle.
There have been a couple of major storms hitting the Northeast, along with a nor'easter today.
The Storm Rangers have been nowhere to be seen.
Has anyone checked E-Bay motors lately?


We present an approach to infer a layer-structured 3D representation of a scene from a single input image. This allows us to infer not only the depth of the visible pixels, but also to capture the texture and depth for content in the scene that is not directly visible. We overcome the challenge posed by the lack of direct supervision by instead leveraging a more naturally available multi-view supervisory signal. Our insight is to use view synthesis as a proxy task: we enforce that our representation (inferred from a single image), when rendered from a novel perspective, matches the true observed image. We present a learning framework that operationalizes this insight using a new, differentiable novel view renderer. We provide qualitative and quantitative validation of our approach in two different settings, and demonstrate that we can learn to capture the hidden aspects of a scene.

Browse: Home / Events & Programs / Iowa Blues Hall of Fame / Steve Hayes
Steve "Chief" Hayes, has been called upon to contribute his drumming talents to numerous bands and artists over the years and is currently performing with Bob Dorr & the Blue Band.
He first started performing on drums in high school, landing his first paid gig at Ernie's in Cedar Rapids during this time. Hayes' main influences are drummers Sonny Freeman (B.B. King), Art Blakey, and Fred Below, who was a mainstay of the Chess Record label.
Hayes first steady gig was at the age of 16 with Leo & the Hilltoppers. He also had stints with the bands Picnic and the Fabulous Shucker Brothers in the early '70s, performed Jazz in the Billy Finger Quintet, and played original music with the Rock band, Southfield Junction, along with Dan Keely and Dan Magarrell.
Hayes was invited to join the Mother Blues Band in '77 and was with them until 1982. This began his relationship with Rico Cicalo, Joe Price, Patrick Hazell, and Bo Ramsey.
He helped form the Rhythm Rockers in '82 with Cicalo, Magarrell, and Steve Grismore – noted Jazz guitarist and instructor.
Throughout the next decade or so Hayes performed with Bo Ramsey, Dennis McMurrin, Kevin Gordon, Greg Brown, Dave Moore, Divin' Duck, Jim Schwall, Mose Allison, Bill and Butch Null, Hawkeye Herman, and others. In addition, Hayes was instrumental in the founding of the Rockadiles.
More recently he has also recorded with Rob Lumbard, Bryce Janey, Merrill J. Miller, Pieta Brown, and has been laying down the beat with Bob Dorr & the Blue Band.
Last year, Hayes was the drummer on albums by Bryce Janey, Jeffrey Foucault, and Greg Brown, in addition to playing on Bo Ramsey's Stranger Blues.
Besides becoming a member of the IBHOF, Steve will also have the honor of being inducted into the Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year with both the Mother Blues Band and the Blue Band.

Not been all the way through this thread, but Karen noted and I agreed that in the segment on the decline in Monarch butterfly populations, it seemed the rogues went out of their way not to mention the word "pesticides", maybe couching it in overall "farming practices". While I agree that we should not automatically jump to pesticides as the cause of the decline, it seems reasonable to put it fairly high on the list of possible causes. Does it not?
My understanding is that pesticides are not as much of an issue as the herbicides that have killed off so many milkweed plants. It would not surprise me if an insecticide effected them as well though.
It's probably both. And drought.
The issue with milkweed is that in order to migrate they must have a route where there is enough milkweed across a sufficiently wide corridor that they can always find some. For a weed milkweed is fairly fragile, and really doesn't interfere with crops the way other weeds do. The problem is that the pesticides are carried by wind and pollinators to milkweed stands and they get wiped out.


YANGONYANGON (Reuters) - A court in Myanmar declined to grant bail on Thursday for two Reuters journalists accused of violating the country's Official Secrets Act, although their defense lawyer said information in documents at the center of the case was publicly available.
Lawyer Than Zaw Aung said a police witness had accepted during court proceedings that details in documents found in the possession of the reporters when they were arrested had already been published in newspaper reports.
Police Major Min Thant, who said he led the team of arresting officers, on Thursday submitted what he said were secret documents seized from the two reporters to the district court in Yangon.
Police have previously said the documents contained information on the disposition and operations of security forces in Rakhine's Maungdaw district.
In response, defense attorney Than Zaw Aung submitted copies of several newspaper articles that he said showed the information in the documents was already in the public domain.
"After Aug. 25, the government explained to the media and diplomats about what happened in Maungdaw," Than Zaw Aung said.
He said afterwards that Major Min Thant had acknowledged that when cross-examined.
"The witness admitted that the content of the documents they obtained from them is the information that the public already knew. He said the contents are same," Than Zaw Aung told Reuters.
At the end of the day's proceedings, the court rejected the defense's application for bail. Reading from the Official Secrets Act, Judge Ye Lwin said the alleged offense was "non-bailable", without elaborating further.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the international community "to do whatever it can" to secure the release of two Reuters journalists detained in Myanmar and ensure press freedom in the country, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Thursday.
Reuters President and Editor-in-Chief Stephen J. Adler expressed disappointment at the decision and called for the journalists' prompt release.
"It has now been more than fifty days since they were arrested, and they should have the opportunity to be with their families as the hearings continue," he said in a statement.
"We believe the court proceedings will demonstrate their innocence and Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo will be able to return to their jobs reporting on events in Myanmar."
Relatives of the two reporters were distraught after the decision was announced.
"I cleaned my house with the hope that he might get bail, just in case," Pan Ei Mon, Wa Lone's wife, said, sobbing. "I knew that he wouldn't get bail but still I cannot handle this."
Kyaw Soe Oo's wife, Chit Su Win, held on to him in tears, kissing him as he was being taken back to prison.

In the morning, the two journalists had been smiling and appeared in good spirits as they were brought handcuffed to the court from Yangon's notorious Insein prison. Wa Lone gave the "thumbs up" sign and Kyaw Soe Oo hugged his young daughter.
The courtroom was packed with reporters and diplomats from the U.S., British, Canadian, Norwegian, Swedish, French and Danish embassies as well as United Nations and European Union officials.
Under cross-examination, police witness Min Thant also said he had updated the paperwork recording Kyaw Soe Oo's arrest and search to show he was detained outside the restaurant where the reporters say they had a meal with police officers.
Kyaw Soe Oo had refused to sign a form stating he was arrested at an intersection in northern Yangon where police say they had a checkpoint, the officer said.
The two journalists said afterwards that Min Thant was not among the officers who arrested them.
"We have never seen that police officer before," Wa Lone told reporters outside the courtroom. "We were arrested by plainclothes police."
In his testimony, Min Thant said he led the team that arrested the reporters and that he was in uniform at the time.
The court hearing is to determine whether Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo will face charges under the Official Secrets Act.
The act dates back to 1923 - when Myanmar, then known as Burma, was under British rule - and carries a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.
The reporters have been accused under Section 3.1 (c), which covers entering prohibited places, and taking images or obtaining secret official documents that "might be or is intended to be, directly or indirectly, useful to an enemy".
The next hearing will be on Feb. 6.


PITSO Mosimane heaved a huge sigh of relief yesterday when his number one keeper, Kennedy Mweene, was declared fit to play.
But Mweene could play second fiddle to reserve keeper Wayne Sandilands when Mamelodi Sundowns host Polokwane City at Loftus tomorrow evening.
Sandilands had been twiddling his thumbs on the bench since Mweene was bought by the Brazilians at the beginning of the season.
But he made the most of a rare start last week to keep a clean sheet in Sundowns' 2-0 win at AmaZulu, putting in a fine display in Mweene's absence.
While Zambian Mweene has been given the all-clear, rising Bafana Bafana midfielder Bongani Zungu is set to be rested after hurting his hip at training.
Contrary to earlier reports, Downs' towering defender Alje Schut has not fully recovered from injury.
Despite sitting in a lowly 14th place, two points above the relegation play-off spot, City's coach Boebie Solomons is confident they will still be campaigning in the Premiership next season.
"Perish that thought... there is no way we will be relegated," said Solomons.
"We will be here as large as life next season. We are playing good football but goals seem to be getting away from us.
"We are working hard and trying to create a big gap between ourselves and the two teams below us.
"We have a lot of respect for our opponents, but that does not mean we fear them. It will be business as usual. It is Sundowns who are under pressure to win because they are still in the running for the league title."
City's gifted central defender Thapelo Tshilo should have his hands full without one of their key players, Tlou Molekwane who received his marching orders in their game against Bloemfontein Celtic on Wednesday.
Right-back Rofhiwa Tshikovhi is injured.
Sundowns will be eager for revenge after City shocked them 1-0 in Polokwane in the first round.

One California Democrat Is Already Calling for Trump's Impeachment and the Rest of the Country Could Be Soon to Follow /
One California Democrat Is Already Calling for Trump's Impeachment and the Rest of the Country Could Be Soon to Follow
Heather Digby Parton
Over the weekend tens of thousands of Americans once more took to the streets to protest Donald Trump. In major cities and small towns across the country, citizens demanded that their president do what every president for the past 40 years has done: Release his tax returns. Trump's response was to petulantly tweet that he did the impossible for a Republican by winning the Electoral College (the opposite is true; just ask George W. Bush) and suggesting that someone "look into" who paid the protesters because "the election is over."
Evidently he thought that winning the election meant everyone would march in lockstep singing "We love you, President Trump!" like they do in North Korea. He'd better get used to protests because they aren't going to stop. (The March for Science next weekend should really make him mad.)
The anti-Trump resistance is very much a grassroots effort, but there are leaders emerging. One of the most vocal is Rep. Maxine Waters, a Democrat who represents Los Angeles. Appearing at the Washington Tax Day march on Saturday, Waters put it bluntly: "I don't respect this president. I don't trust this president. He's not working in the best interests of the American people. I will fight every day until he is impeached!" Then she led the crowd in a chant of "Impeach 45!" It doesn't get any more resistant than that.
Waters has always been a tough and forceful politician, unafraid to take a position and speak her mind. She first came to national attention after the Rodney King riots when she went on TV and explained to America through gritted teeth that the African-American community in L.A. hadn't just exploded out of nowhere. It was a message a lot of people didn't want to hear, but she made sure they got it anyway. She's been a thorn in the side of conservatives ever since then, once inspiring Ann Coulter to venomously spew that without affirmative action Waters "wouldn't have a job that didn't involve wearing a paper hat." Right-wingers often lose their composure when confronted with such a strong, unapologetic African-American woman who is unafraid of getting right up in their faces.
Waters has been appearing on TV again lately, and she has plenty to say about all the various Trump scandals. Her message is very simple: Trump must be impeached. Obviously Republicans are outraged (as usual) insisting that such talk is downright seditious. Very few Democrats are ready to join her at this point either. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi believes such talk is premature at best; she has said that Trump is "incoherent," "incompetent" and "reckless," but insists those aren't grounds for impeachment. According to Clare Malone at 538, Waters understands that Pelosi has an obligation to stay above the fray but says, "I don't have the same responsibility." She sees herself in a completely different role.
It may seem that Waters just has a pugilistic personality and is out front because it's her political style to mix it up. But there is a strategy at work in this. After all, it wasn't that long ago that a president was impeached for only the second time in history and it was over a "crime" that seems laughably insubstantial compared to the possibilities Donald Trump could face. Just for starters, Trump's presidential campaign is being investigated in a counter-intelligence probe, and his conflicts of interest are so wide and so deep that almost anything could implicate him in a corruption scandal. Impeachment is really not a far-fetched proposition.
Back in the 1990s, President Bill Clinton's administration was under siege from almost the moment he took office. There was one small-bore, semi-fictitious scandal after another, from Filegate to Travelgate to Haircutgate to Vince Foster's suicide and of course the ancient Arkansas land deal known as Whitewater, from years before Clinton ran for president. The media lapped them up, reporting each new development with breathless excitement, piling them on top of each other until it seemed as though there wasn't anything else happening in the world.
Some of the motivation for all this was simple partisan payback. Richard Nixon was a crook who'd been run out of Washington and Republicans were yearning to return the favor. Beating Jimmy Carter in 1980 was nice but it wasn't enough. They wanted to rub the Democrats' smug, self-righteous faces in the dirt and the Southern Gothic fever swamp that accompanied Clinton to Washington offered an excellent opportunity. But in spite of the Republicans' deep desire to get Clinton, their primary game plan was merely to force his resignation (as had happened with Nixon). There was very little discussion of impeachment through all those years of endless scandal-mongering.
Only one man, Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., kept bringing it up despite strong pushback from House Speaker Newt Gingrich and every other member of the GOP leadership. Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, said at the time, "I don't think we have the kind of evidentiary basis to be talking about impeachment at this time. I don't really think you should, when it's such an important matter and it's frankly still in the abstract."
Barr kept at it. Before anyone had heard the name Monica Lewinsky or had read the salacious report ultimately produced by independent counsel Ken Starr, Barr had introduced H.R 304, directing the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether grounds existed to impeach the president. When the Lewinsky scandal broke, unanticipated by anyone (including Barr), the groundwork had been laid.
Waters is following the Barr model. Impeachment is the nuclear option of nuclear options, when it comes to Congress confronting the president. It's the only means by which a president can be removed from office for cause and it isn't easy to do, especially when the president's party holds the majority. (Only two presidents have ever been impeached by the House — Clinton and Andrew Johnson — and neither was convicted in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is required.) But if one of Trump's many scandals should end up implicating him in a crime, it's important that the Democrats and the American people be ready for it. Waters is getting the I-word out there into the atmosphere and priming Trump's political opposition. It's a job that takes guts and foresight and she's good at it.
If the Democrats can pull off a wave election in 2018 and take back the House, they will be ready to follow an impeachment investigation wherever it leads. That will largely be thanks to Maxine Waters.


We shouldn't be selling off any public schools without a consideration of the broader impact on the community. For that reason, I was proud to support my colleague Councillor Mike Layton's motion yesterday that called on the TDSB to reserve any decision on selling off schools without consulting the City first.
Across the city and in our community, schools are often at the heart of our neighbourhoods. They are not only spaces for learning during classroom hours, they are community hubs. Our schools are places for child care, adult learning, community and recreation facilities, access to greenspace, and meeting places in our communities.
In Toronto, the TDSB is the second largest landowner, behind only the City of Toronto. It shouldn't matter if schools were built by the TDSB, the Province or the City; the fact is they were all built with public funds. They were all built by Torontonians.
In a City like ours where we are in need more greenspace, additional childcare facilities, and new after 4 programming, we should be working together to better share our public spaces ... not selling them off.

Q: own test method in FunSuite in ScalaTest Currently FunSuite executes methods named as test as tests.
I would like to write a function mytest that wraps test. How can I make FunSuite recognise mytest as a test to be executed ?

A: FunSuite.test is defined in ScalaTest's FunSpecLike trait. It has the following definition:

protected def test(testName: String, testTags: Tag*)(testFun: => Any /* Assertion */)(implicit pos: source.Position): Unit = {
  // SKIP-SCALATESTJS-START
  val stackDepth = 4
  val stackDepthAdjustment = -2
  // SKIP-SCALATESTJS-END
  //SCALATESTJS-ONLY val stackDepth = 6
  //SCALATESTJS-ONLY val stackDepthAdjustment = -6
  engine.registerTest(testName, Transformer(testFun _), Resources.testCannotAppearInsideAnotherTest, "FunSuiteLike.scala", "test", stackDepth, stackDepthAdjustment, None, None, Some(pos), None, testTags: _*)
}

The most important point is that it registers its payload for execution, via the engine.registerTest(...) call. Theoretically, you could have it recognize mytest by doing something like this:
class MyFunSuite
extends FunSuite {

  // User-defined test named mytest
  protected def mytest(testName: String, testTags: Tag*)(testFun: => Any /* Assertion */)(implicit pos: source.Position) = {
    test(testName, testTags: _*)(testFun)(pos)
  }
}

You would then use it as follows:
class MyTests
extends MyFunSuite {

  mytest("This is one of my own tests.") {
    // ...
  }

  mytest("This is another test.") {
    // ...
  }

  // ...
}

That said, there's no added value here (as yet), and you're going to a lot of effort to just replicate the existing functionality. However, you could clearly modify the definition of mytest to perform some boilerplate actions that you may require.

Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, a graphene-based transistor array that is compatible with living biological cells and capable of recording the electrical signals they generate. This proof-of-concept platform opens the way for further investigation of a promising new material. Graphene's distinctive combination of characteristics makes it a leading contender for future biomedical applications requiring a direct interface between microelectronic devices and nerve cells or other living tissue. A team of scientists from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) and the Juelich Research Center published the results in the journal Advanced Materials.
Today, if a person has an intimate and dependent relationship with an electronic device, it's most likely to be a smart phone; however, much closer connections may be in store in the foreseeable future. For example, "bioelectronics" applications have been proposed that would place sensors and in some cases actuators inside a person's brain, eye, or ear to help compensate for neural damage. Pioneering research in this direction was done using the mature technology of silicon microelectronics, but in practice that approach may be a dead end: Both flexible substrates and watery biological environments pose serious problems for silicon devices; in addition, they may be too "noisy" for reliable communication with individual nerve cells.
Of the several material systems being explored as alternatives, graphene – essentially a two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms linked in a dense honeycomb pattern – seems very well suited to bioelectronic applications: It offers outstanding electronic performance, is chemically stable and biologically inert, can readily be processed on flexible substrates, and should lend itself to large-scale, low-cost fabrication. The latest results from the TUM-Juelich team confirm key performance characteristics and open the way for further advances toward determining the feasibility of graphene-based bioelectronics.
Combination of an optical microscopy image of a transistor array and a fluorescence image of the calcein-stained cell layer on the same array.
Directly on top of this array, the researchers grew a layer of biological cells similar to heart muscle. Not only were the "action potentials" of individual cells detectable above the intrinsic electrical noise of the transistors, but these cellular signals could be recorded with high spatial and temporal resolution. For example, a series of spikes separated by tens of milliseconds moved across the transistor array in just the way action potentials could be expected to propagate across the cell layer. Also, when the cell layer was exposed to a higher concentration of the stress hormone norepinephrine, a corresponding increase in the frequency of spikes was recorded. Separate experiments to determine the inherent noise level of the G-SFETs showed it to be comparable to that of ultralow-noise silicon devices, which as Garrido points out are the result of decades of technological development.
"Much of our ongoing research is focused on further improving the noise performance of graphene devices," Garrido says, "and on optimizing the transfer of this technology to flexible substrates such as parylene and kapton, both of which are currently used for in vivo implants. We are also working to improve the spatial resolution of our recording devices." Meanwhile, they are working with scientists at the Paris-based Vision Institute to investigate the biocompatibility of graphene layers in cultures of retinal neuron cells, as well as within a broader European project called NEUROCARE, which aims at developing brain implants based on flexible nanocarbon devices.
This research is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) within Priority Program 1459 "Graphene", the International Helmholtz Research School BioSoft, the Bavarian Graduate School CompInt, the TUM Institute for Advanced Study, and the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM).

The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America
Michael Tesler, John Sides, Lynn Vavreck, et al.
Sozialwissenschaften, Recht, Wirtschaft / Politikwissenschaft
A gripping in-depth look at the presidential election that stunned the world
Donald Trump's election victory resulted in one of the most unexpected presidencies in history. Identity Crisis provides the definitive account of the campaign that seemed to break all the political rules—but in fact didn't. Featuring a new afterword by the authors that discusses the 2018 midterms and today's emerging political trends, this compelling book describes how Trump's victory was foreshadowed by changes in the Democratic and Republican coalitions that were driven by people's racial and ethnic identities, and how the Trump campaign exacerbated these divisions by hammering away on race, immigration, and religion. The result was an epic battle not just for the White House but about what America should be.

The Skyteam Ace 125 is a production motorcycle designed to evoke the memories and performance characteristics of the iconic Honda RC110, in fact the styling is so similar that you'd be excused for confusing the two bikes as one and the same.
Skyteam's 125 has a series of modern touches including front disc brakes, fuel injection, a twin valve/4 stoke engine and modern suspension. The lightweight feel of the original Honda RC110 is maintained overall and (dare I say it) the modern Skyteam cafe racer can probably out handle and out perform its mentor.
I have a bit of a soft spot for lightweight, low capacity motorcycles and if I was looking for a bike to get around Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh or Bologna I'd be very tempted to hand over the MSRP of $2,499 USD. If you'd like to read more about the Skyteam Ace 125, you can visit the official website here.

Actress Naya Rivera, absent from Oscar tribute sequence
by Lisa White
NBCUniversal / Getty Images
Actress Naya Rivera died on July 8.
OSCARS – The 93rd Academy Awards took place on the night of Sunday April 25 and crowned "Nomadland". If statuettes are given to those who have marked the world of cinema during the year 2020, this ceremony is also an opportunity to pay tribute to the artists of Hollywood and elsewhere who died this year.
African-American actress Angela Bassett gave a touching speech lamenting the losses of 2020. "Tonight we want to celebrate the artists who made us dream," she said. "Thank you, you will remain as we remember you and forever in our hearts," Angela Bassett said before the tribute streak began.
Among the artists who have appeared there: actress Cicely Tyson, actors Chadwick Boseman, Sean Connery as well as French writer and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière to name a few.
However, there is one person who was not there, Naya Rivera. The actress who tragically lost her life on July 8 after drowning in Lake Piru in California was known for her role as "Santana Lopez" in the TV series "Glee". But she had also starred in the films "Glee the 3D Concert", "At The Devil's Door" and "Mad Families", her latest film.
Luke Perry, last year
This omission angered his fans. "I'm sorry but Naya Rivera shouldn't have been left out of the Oscar tribute streak tonight. What a shame, "said one internet user.
"I know Naya Rivera wasn't really a movie actress, but she should have been in the Oscar tribute streak," another person said on Twitter.
I'm sorry but Naya Rivera should not have been left out of the Oscars #InMemoriam, this evening. Shameful.
– Bailey (@baileydgorman) April 26, 2021
I know naya Rivera wasn't really in movies but she still should've been included in the in memoriam #Oscars
– ★ fearless taylor's version ★ (@nikola_minik) April 26, 2021
Last year, during the Oscars ceremony, it was "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Riverdale" actor Luke Perry who was not mentioned in the tribute sequence. The Academy of Oscars had been strongly criticized, but had justified its choice and declared: "The academy receives hundreds of requests from people to include beloved members or their colleagues of the industry in the sequence of homage of the Oscars".
"An executive committee that represents each category establishes a list and makes a selection of people to be honored on television in a limited time," the organization said in a statement.
The organization had, however, assured that the deceased who did not appear in the Oscar tribute sequence appeared in the photo gallery on their online site. On the site of the 2021 edition, Naya Rivera doesin any case not included.
