Skinny shinny season: City-run rinks ban outdoor hockey amid COVID-19 pandemic
Lacing up skates for a game of shinny on an outdoor rink is a cold-weather ritual for many Canadians.
The treasured pastime has largely disappeared this winter, however, as many city-run ice surfaces across the country prohibit outdoor hockey in a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19.
One infectious disease expert says shinny isn't an ideal recreational activity during the pandemic, but in some cities, fervent fans continue to flout orders to play their game.
Close contact between players ups the risk of transmitting COVID-19 during a game, explained Dr. Brian Conway, head of the Vancouver Infectious Diseases Centre.
"Outdoor shinny hockey is not the safest behaviour," he said.
"The way in which it will be made safe is by making sure that through that process, personal distancing is maintained as much as possible, that it is outdoors and that it is with people you know and have been around [in the same household, or in the same social bubble, where they are still permitted] through much of the pandemic."
Several municipalities have gone further, limiting the activities allowed on outdoor rinks. Ice surfaces are open in Edmonton, Calgary and Saskatoon, but hockey is prohibited.
Ice surfaces are also open in Winnipeg, with provincial restrictions limiting hockey players to practising their skills individually.
The operators of Mosaic Stadium in Regina have flooded the field where the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders usually play, giving people a massive ice sheet to skate on, but hockey and other sports such as figure skating and ringette are not allowed at "Iceville."

The puck drops on the NHL's new season and the all-Canadian division this week and though there are concerns about playing and travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, the league says it's prepared to be flexible to the circumstances. 2:00
Ottawa originally planned to allowed shinny with some restrictions. That changed last week after new provincial regulations came into effect. The city now only allows skating at its rinks.
"As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the city will adjust its services to ensure it adheres to all public health guidelines and provincial regulations," Dan Chenier, general manager of Ottawa's recreation, cultural and facility services, said in a statement.
Outdoor ice surfaces are open around Toronto and signs reading "No Shinny — suspended until further notice" have been posted on the surrounding chainlink fences. The notices aren't being heeded by all, however.
Bylaw and police officers have been escorting about 100 people off the ice each night, city spokesperson Jaclyn Carlisle said in an email.
"These warnings are intended to educate residents about the safety issues of using unsupervised city locations for recreation, especially after hours," she said.

A new stay-at-home order comes into effect on Thursday in Ontario, though people still are allowed to go outside to exercise.
While shinny isn't the safest option in a pandemic, Conway recognizes the need for people to get out and get active.
"You have to balance the imperatives of public health that would essentially want us to be in very tight bubbles until the second wave finishes with the health of the public. People are going to do things," he said.
"I think people are tired. People are tuning the message out. People are listening but not listening."
It's important to provide people with safe ways of staying active as the pandemic continues, Conway added.
Golf, biking, hiking and skiing are all sports that can be done safely during the pandemic, he said.
Getting on the ice is possible, too. Skating on an outdoor rink is safer than playing hockey because people are more likely to stay apart.
"Distance is important — the virus doesn't have wings. So two metres away from each other, it's really hard to transmit the virus," Conway said.
Across the country, skaters are advised to wear masks at most outdoor rinks and are encouraged to keep their distance from others. Many city-run facilities have closed change areas and are limiting how many people can use the ice surface at a time.
Toronto is encouraging skaters to book their ice time online with a website where people can see the city's rinks on a map and use a filter to determine which locations offer amenities like or trails.
Some avid skaters are foregoing municipal rinks all together this winter.

Jordan Chorneyko owns Dad's Rink, an Edmonton-based company that supplies build-your-own rink kits for people looking to skate in their backyard.
Business has been brisk this winter.
"There's a lot of people who want to make their own rink this year," Chorneyko said.
"In the pandemic, people can't get out and do the things they're used to. With all these restrictions, you're only allowed so many people at the outdoor rinks for a certain amount of time. They're pretty much empty right now, every time I drive by one."
Orders for the kits have been pouring in from across the country, and inquiries have come from further afield. Chorneyko had an email from Sweden asking about the product, and has shipped several to New York, Wisconsin and even Alaska.
Each kit includes a membrane for flooding, an edge that gives the surface a border and instructions. The process takes about three days, depending on the weather.
It's the same system Chorneyko's dad used to create the ice surfaces where the family skated each winter when he was growing up.
"It's a special memory, you know, playing hockey on the backyard rink. It's what brings friends and family together," Chorneyko said. "Playing out there with my brother, early on the weekends or having a hockey game with your buddies after school during the week, it's just fun to be outside enjoying the Canadian winter."

Key Finding on Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria
Pattern of Use Requires Strong Reaction

Samples from an attack in northern Syria on March 30 "prove the existence of sarin," a deadly nerve agent, the director of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said on October 4.
While this attack injured dozens, according to our research, it didn't kill anybody. So why is this finding important?
Because it confirms a pattern of sarin use.

A few days after the March 30 attack, on April 4, nearly 100 people died from chemical exposure in Khan Sheikhoun. Despite evidence that a Syrian government aircraft dropping chemical weapons caused the deaths, Syria, with Russia's help, has tried to deflect blame by presenting alternative theories to explain the presence of chemicals.
Immediately after the attack, Russian and Syrian officials claimed that the chemical exposure in Khan Sheikhoun was due to a Syrian aircraft dropping a bomb on a rebel chemical weapons factory on the ground. Among other problems, this theory collapsed when OPCW found that Khan Sheikhoun victims had been exposed to sarin. Producing sarin is complicated and would never result from the bombing of stored chemicals.
Russia and Syria then pushed a second theory to explain the chemical exposure, namely that armed opposition groups staged it to frame the government. We found zero evidence to support this theory, and Russia and Syria have never publicly presented any.
This is where yesterday's revelation comes in. In addition to the evidence pointing to government responsibility, the complexity of staging an attack on the scale of the one in Khan Sheikhoun already made this theory unlikely. Doing so in two locations on two different dates renders it even more implausible.
A joint investigation by the United Nations and the OPCW is expected to deliver its conclusion on who was responsible for the Khan Sheikhoun attack later in October. In drawing its conclusions, it should take the OPCW's finding on the use of sarin on March 30 into account.
The convention banning chemical weapons, ratified or signed by 192 states, is one of the strongest in international law. The Syrian government's repeated use of chemical weapons is unprecedented in the history of the convention. State parties to the convention should send the strongest possible signal that they will not tolerate Syria undermining this ban.

Only certain agency bonds offer the same level of security.
Treasury Bonds cannot be called prior to maturity. Unlike many corporate and municipal bonds, there is no opportunity for the issuer (the US federal government) to force bondholders to receive the face value of the bond prior to maturity. This is particularly important now when bonds are trading at above face value, at a premium, as a call would mean the loss of the premium value.
Municipal bonds can provide freedom from federal, state, and local income taxes. Strangely, interest on US Treasuries can be taxed by the government of the United States but not by your state, city or county.
Most bonds are sold in increments of $1,000. Treasuries can be bought and sold in increments of $100. Treasury Direct, as well as online brokers, allow you to trade treasuries without paying commission.
Have a question about US Treasuries that we did not answer? Let us know in the comments section below.
This lesson is part of our Free Guide to Investing in Treasuries. Continue to the next lesson here.
Hi, quick question. Do you think that they will ever make it so one can invest not only in $100 increments, but any value over $100, like $102.36, for example? Kind of like how it is set up with US savings bonds (except they have $25 minimum). Is there enough demand for that to happen? I'm wondering, just how do they decide what the minimum investments are, what the increments are, and if the investors can invest any number or just multiples of the increment?
Thanks for the comment, good question. The reason why savings bonds can be bought in any value above $25 is because they do not trade on a secondary market. You can buy them and sell them back to the Treasury but not to another person. Because of this they do not need to be standardized like other types of bonds, like T Bills for example, that do trade on a secondary market.

City's self-guided Jewelry District tour highlights student research into long-lost history
A free self-guided tour of the Providence neighborhood, created thanks to a partnership between a Brown professor, the city and the Jewelry District Association, features original research conducted by undergraduate students.
As part of a course exploring the architecture and history of the Jewelry District, students at Brown visited city archives, historical societies and neighborhood buildings themselves, including the Manchester Street Power Station, built in 1903.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Providence's Jewelry District — once a wealthy, booming center of manufacturing, then a neglected neighborhood, now an up-and-coming innovation hub — boasts more than 150 years of dramatic history. Much of it was hidden or unknown. Until now.
A new self-guided walking tour of the Jewelry District, available at no cost to local residents and visitors alike, prominently features the original research of Brown University undergraduates and their professor, Dietrich Neumann.
The walking tour, created earlier this year, is the result of a partnership between the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Jewelry District Association and Neumann, a professor of history of art and architecture and director of urban studies at Brown. A printed flyer is now available at two visitor information centers in the city and in various downtown hotels. The tour is also available online, in interactive and printable forms.
In Neumann's course, many students researched buildings that had long ago been torn down — including the Dyer Street Land Co., pictured here. In this rendering, 2017 Brown graduate Hannah Van placed a historical photo of the 1874 building in present-day context.
Neumann said the research featured in the self-guided tour comes from information students unearthed during a course he taught in spring 2017 titled "Providence Architecture."
"The students helped reconstruct the memory of this district," Neumann said. "They had the opportunity to be the first ones to discover and write about the history of individual buildings. I loved seeing them get excited about that."
Neumann's course provided a unique opportunity for students to step away from their laptops and engage in some old-fashioned shoe-leather research. Students spent time getting up close and personal with buildings and lots in the Jewelry District, visiting city and state archives in search of land deeds, and working with municipal and neighborhood historical associations to find photos, biographical information and other archival material.
"On the surface, you may not see everything there is," Neumann said. "But when you go into the archives, you can uncover many wonderful stories about the area."
By the end of the course, students had contributed thorough reports on dozens of landmarks in the neighborhood — some still visible today, others torn down decades ago. Their collective research, which they had presented in May 2017 at a packed community event, paints a multifaceted picture of an ever-changing corner of Providence, a site of unprecedented economic success, devastating depression, desertion and, finally, rebirth.
"In many ways, the Jewelry District was one of the key engines for Providence's success as a city," Neumann said. "At the turn of the century, Providence had a per-capita income that was among the highest in the nation."
As part of Neumann's spring 2017 course, Brown students visited the Providence Jewelry Museum to learn about the city's turn-of-the-century jewelry manufacturing boom.
In the late 1800s, Neumann said, a newly invented process called electroplating allowed jewelers to place thin layers of precious metals on top of cheaper metals. For the first time, people didn't need to be wealthy to afford fashionable accessories. Providence was chief among the American cities that met the world's growing demand for gold- and silver-plated jewelry, erecting countless manufacturing plants south of its downtown core. As workers swarmed to the city seeking employment in the jewelry factories, a bustling neighborhood of schools, churches and parks formed.
"There were hundreds of jewelry makers here, and they shipped out to the whole world," Neumann said. "Some made silver-plated jewelry; others used precious stones; others made glass jewelry."
Today, the Jewelry District would be nearly unrecognizable to someone who lived there a century ago, Neumann said. After the Great Depression, work moved elsewhere and most of the neighborhood's population emptied out. Decades later, many of its structures were razed to make room for the intersection of Interstates 95 and 195.
In recent years, the district has become a burgeoning innovation hub and a second home for Brown, and it maintains a balance between paying homage to its past and looking toward the future. Hundreds of University staff now work in South Street Landing, a century-old electric station once fitted with massive coal-powered boilers that converted steam into electricity. One block away is the University's Warren Alpert Medical School, housed in the 1912 Little Nemo Building, once the headquarters for one of the largest jewelry manufacturers in the United States.
Students in Neumann's class eagerly delved into the history of both of these buildings — part of a "long laundry list" of existing and demolished structures Neumann said he had been curious to learn more about.
"I think they all became most fond of what we call 'ghost buildings' — stories of buildings that aren't there anymore," Neumann said. "They discovered schools, churches, a very nice park and several factory buildings that came down to make way for the highway overpass."
Colin Kent-Daggett, a senior at Brown, spent much of the semester researching the Providence Steam Mill, which was once adjacent to South Street Landing on Eddy Street. One of the first steam-powered mills in the nation, the sprawling four-story structure is widely considered to have played a fundamental role in the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in America.
Thanks to Neumann's course, Kent-Daggett said, "I now feel dramatically more informed about the factors that have literally shaped the Jewelry District and Providence as a whole, and [I] feel much more invested in the ongoing conversations around the redevelopment of the area."
Neumann hopes tourists and locals feel the same after taking the new self-guided tour for a spin.
"You can only understand the present and the cityscape that surrounds you if you know about its history," Neumann said. "Seeing the city, and living in the city today, becomes a much more rewarding experience when you understand its past."

Plea Bargaining and Collateral Consequences: An Experimental Analysis
Carlie Malone
The overwhelming majority of convictions in the United States are obtained through guilty pleas. Many of these guilty pleas are a product of plea bargaining, where a defendant enters a guilty plea in exchange for some form of official concessions. Despite its prominence, plea bargaining is subject to limited regulation. One consequence of this limited regulation is that courts generally only require the direct consequences of a guilty plea to be communicated to a defendant. Thus, when a defendant is deciding whether to plead guilty, he is often operating with incomplete information about the costly collateral consequences that may attach to a criminal conviction. The dominant theory of plea bargaining suggests that outcomes will largely mirror trial outcomes because bargaining occurs in the shadow of trial, but this may not be accurate if failure to communicate collateral consequences influences decisions to plead guilty.
Using an experiment, this Note examines the extent to which communicating collateral consequences influences the decision to accept a plea bargain. Results from the experiment demonstrate that communicating collateral consequences decreases the rate of plea acceptance, but the effect of communication dissipates as the difference between the plea bargain sentence and the potential sentence at trial grows larger. Because communicating collateral consequences has an important effect on guilty pleas, this Note suggests that a lawyer's failure to communicate such consequences to their client should be grounds for an ineffective assistance of counsel claim.

Trump Withdraws Nomination of ATF Chief after Pressure from Gun Rights Group
Teresa Mull May 20, 2020 0 Comments
President Trump has withdrawn his nomination of Chuck Canterbury to be the new chief of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives after pressure from the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR).
"The National Association for Gun Rights was the first gun rights organization to sound the alarm on Chuck Canterbury's abysmal record on the Second Amendment, and in the end it was his past support for gun controls that tanked his nomination," NAGR President Dudley Brown told GPM. "It was NAGR members who deserve the credit for defeating Canterbury."
"Last summer, NAGR warned its members and supporters of Canterbury's radical anti-gun views," NAGR told supporters on Facebook. "Canterbury was on the record supporting the nomination of anti-gun Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, supporting a so-called 'assault weapons' ban, and opposed pro-gun Constitutional Carry legislation."
According to Politico,
"The former president of the Fraternal Order of Police was nominated last year, but the appointment has been stalled because of conservative concerns over his views on gun rights. The Senate Judiciary Committee put his nomination on ice last year after those complaints began to emerge. Trump renominated Canterbury in February."
"We're glad the committee listened to our 4.5 million members and supporters by grilling Canterbury for his past support of the 'assault weapons' ban," said Brown. "We encourage the White House and Congress to take the next step and dismantle this failed agency once and for all."

First direct evidence that later school day really does help teenagers
Health 12 December 2018
By Alice Klein
Teenagers benefit from a late start

Pushing back high school start times not only improves the quality of students' sleep, it also boosts attendance and academic performance, according to a study of US school attenders. The study is the first to show this objectively – using wrist-worn activity monitors to measure sleep duration – rather than by relying on self-reported information on sleeping habits.
Teenagers naturally prefer late nights and lie-ins due to body clock shifts that occur during puberty. However, this preference does not align with the early start times of most schools. "You're basically chopping off the last chunk of sleep they need," says Horacio de la Iglesia at the University of Washington.
To address this problem, schools in Seattle decided to delay their start time from 7:50 to 8:45am from mid-2016 onwards. De la Iglesia and his colleagues decided to measure the impact by studying students before and after the change. To make the comparison as objective as possible they compared students taking a tenth-grade biology class in 2016 with their younger peers taking the same class in 2017. There were 94 students in the 2016 group and 84 in the 2017 group.
Sleep gains
According to activity monitors worn on their wrists, the students in 2016 and 2017 went to bed at around the same time. But because they were able to sleep in later, the 2017 students snoozed for an extra 34 minutes per day on average.
This extra sleep was correlated with greater daytime alertness and 5 per cent higher second-semester grades on average. This may be because sleep plays a key role in learning and laying down memories, says de la Iglesia.
At one of the schools, class attendance also improved. Students in 2017 were late on two fewer days and had two fewer absences per year on average than the students in 2016.
These improvements could potentially be enhanced by pushing school start times back even later, says Gideon Dunster at the University of Washington, who co-authored the study. The new start time in Seattle extended average sleep duration from 6 hours and 50 minutes to 7 hours and 24 minutes, but this is still not enough, he says. "While students are getting more sleep, they are still not sleeping the average of 9 hours per night that is recommended."
Dunster hopes that future trials will determine the school start time that best aligns with students' circadian rhythms and optimises their sleep quality and learning capacity.

Many people have never heard of myelopathy. So, if you've been diagnosed with it, you might not even be sure what it is. But you're certainly familiar with the symptoms. You know your back or neck hurts, sometimes quite badly. You might also be experiencing odd symptoms, like weakness in your arms or legs. But what causes the condition? And what can you do about it?
Myelopathy is a nerve injury in your spinal cord, which is the grouping of nerves that runs from your skull to your tailbone. The condition is caused by compression of the spinal cord, resulting in pain, loss of sensation, or loss of control of certain body parts. Anyone can develop it, but it's more commonly diagnosed in people who are older than 55 because it's often related to the wear and tear your body endures over time.
There are several possible causes of this condition. The most common triggers are a piece of bone (a bone spur) or part of a disc (a herniated disc) sticking out from your spine. These press on the nerves in your spinal column, causing pain or decreased ability to use certain parts of your body. The problem can be acute, which means it starts suddenly, or chronic, which means the pressure grows gradually over time. Acute myelopathy can be caused by trauma to the spine or an infection in or around the spinal cord. Chronic myelopathy can be caused by a tumor on or near the spinal cord, spinal stenosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or neurogenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Parkinson's disease.
Cervical myelopathy, which affects the neck, is the most common type. It's most frequently caused by degeneration in the cervical spine, and it can cause weakness, numbness, and tingling in your arms, hands, and legs.
Thoracic myelopathy affects the mid-spine. It's most frequently caused by bulging or herniated discs, bone spurs, or spinal trauma. Unless the compression is caused by trauma, the signs and symptoms generally come on slowly. These include numbness and weakness in your legs, loss of coordination, and difficulty walking.

ForMin Melescanu: Developing relations with Moldova, a first-rank priority of Romania's foreign policy
by Nine O' Clock March 1, 2017 0135
Developing the relations with the Republic of Moldova is a first-rank priority of Romania's foreign policy, reiterated Foreign Affairs Minister Teodor Melescanu on occasion of a meeting on Wednesday with Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova in Bucharest Mihai Gribincea, the Foreign Affairs Ministry (MAE) informs.
Minister Melescanu evoked the importance of continuing the process of reforms and modernisation to the benefit of all citizens of the Republic of Moldova, in the parametres agreed with the European Union, according to the Association Agreement, as well as with the International Monetary Fund.
According to a MAE release, the issue on 27 February of the second installment worth 50 million euro of the reimbursable loan of up to 150 million euro represents a demarche reconfirming Romania's Government's support for the Republic of Moldova. At the same time, however, Chisinau's commitment for the consolidation and strengthening of the reform process continues to be essential, the cited source points out.
During the meeting, also evoked was the priority attention granted to the projects on interconnecting the energy grids – gas and electricity – and the transport networks – road, rail, air, naval – between Romania and the Republic of Moldova.
Last but not least, the meeting brought forth a review of the bilateral agenda of contact for the coming period, as well as the stage and prospects of the process of regulating the Transnistrian conflict.

Eat and Drink in Moderation and Be Merry in Excess!
Try to stay physically active throughout the holidays. You'll feel better and have more energy. And it will balance off some of those extra treats, whether your chief concern is blood sugar control, weight management or both.
Keep your appetite under control. Skipping breakfast in preparation for the office potluck leaves you so hungry that you're almost sure to overdo it. Instead, eat regular meals that include carb, protein and a little fat. That helps keep appetite controlled and spreads food through the day for smoother glucose too.
Balance holiday treats with lower fat, lower carb foods instead of filling up only with "goodies." Plain turkey with the stuffing, raw veggies with the real mashed potatoes, green salad with the fruit ambrosia. This works on your own plate AND when planning a holiday menu. Every dish doesn't have to be a major production.
Learn the carb values of the holiday foods you love. Make a plan for fitting them in - whether that means figuring out the right Humalog dose for a couple of Christmas cookies or deciding between a second roll and some sweet potatoes to stay under your carbohydrate allowance. A list of the carb values for some common holiday foods appears below.
Think about your choices. When offered a high-fat or high-carb holiday treat, consider whether you really want it. Are you hungry? Is it something you love? Or would you just be eating it because it's there? If you save those choices for the things you really love, it helps keep things BOTH merry and moderate - and saves on the antacid bill!
If your chief concern is weight or you must limit the amount of carb you eat at a meal to keep your blood sugars under control, use the "plate method." Set aside half the plate for salad and vegetables. Use about a quarter of it for protein foods and use the remainder for the carbs.
At a buffet, preview the whole thing before you make any choices. This allows you to strategize how to fit in the things you want most instead of already having a plateful when you see something you REALLY want.
Drink lots of water. It's filling and so good for you. And it protects you from grabbing things like eggnog and fruit punch just to whet your whistle. Diet soda is OK, but not as good a choice for overall nutrition as plain old water.
And here's the "Be Merry In Excess" part. Sit down for a few minutes and think about what makes the holidays special for YOU: the traditions, activities, decorations and people that give the Holidays meaning and enjoyment. Food is a big part of that for most people, but it's not the only thing. Plan get togethers around activities instead of just around food whenever possible. Have singing at the party, take a walking "Christmas lights" tour, rent holiday videos, or play games. If you're getting your holiday enjoyment in MANY ways, it will help put the special foods in perspective. Slow down and enjoy the season. Give yourself some quiet time. Focus on people - whether it's your own family and friends or helping out at the homeless shelter or food bank. The warm feelings of the holidays have more to do with connecting with and giving joy to others than with "too much" - whether it's too much eating, too much spending, or too much stress.
We wish you a holiday season full of warmth and good cheer!

An Achillean Economy: The Economy of Thymotics and Anger, Sloterdijk
13 Comments Posted by Kevin von Duuglas-Ittu on March 18, 2009
What is Greek Thymos?
The above is a signature clip from Andrei Tarkovsky's hauntful meditation on the role of the artist in society, not to mention amid Soviet Society. There may be no greater film made on the subject of the artist than Andrei Rublev. The final chapter of the bell casting is so redounding on the issue of tradition and making, it to this day stirs and moves me. (It was a film that actually put me to sleep in the first three attempted DVD viewings. Like Freud's the-father-who awoke-from-the-dream-of-his-son-burning, I dove into my dream rather than endure its somnambulant truth, it would seem.)
But the horse of above, for those who do not know the film, can be seen as a certain effervescence of life, a kind of natural expression that society can work to suppress. The horse, an animal of pride and tremendous strength, of the herd and a social order that is beyond the wisdom of the bit, here frolics in a way that seems to criticize the human order of the film's brutal wars and stern, religious transcendental ambitions/isolations/silences. The horse expresses itself upon and within the field.
Why do I bring up Tarkovsky's colt here? In recent posts, after my raising the possibility of an informative critique of Western philosophy following the Attic Greek contrast between the Ages of Achilles and Odysseus, attempting to reposition Achillean Immanence against modernist Odysseusean Instrumentality and Wanderlust, Mark Crosby was good enough to point out a rather thorough comparison between my thoughts and those presented by Peter Sloterdijk in his yet to be translated Zorn und Zeit (Anger and Time). I have to say, I just love when I find strong parallels between my own prospective thinking and the cross weft of someone else. It is as if we have fallen upon a great store of possibilities. So this post is an attempt to come to grips with some of the confluences.
"The menis (wrath), do godess sing, of the Peleusian Achilles,/destructive" (Iliad's first line)
I will go into Sloterdijk's thoughts more deeply in a moment, but for now it is enough to say that he, like me, returns to the epic of the Iliad, and the figure of Achilles's anger, as a starting point for an ideal to be followed in human relations. He proposes that the menis/wrathof the poem's initial line is not a personal wrath, but in a sense civic and divine wrath, a natural product of the thymos (heart, spirit, passion, force) of a person before the failings of the political. Instead of an economy of lack, eros, object-oriented projections, such as that which Western civilization has evolved and Continental philosophy has often emphasized, a economy of thymos, of gift, and righteous anger is preferred. The reason why I have brought up the horse of Tarkovsky is that I believe it helps us understand something of the Greek conception of what Thymos is. When I think of thymos, I think of horses.. When reading a Greek characteristic, it is often advisable to turn to the hyperbolic form of it, as is the case with the thymotic (LSJ):
Hyperthumos, on,
A. high-spirited, high-minded, daring, freq. in Hom., in good sense, Il.2.746, 5.376, al., cf. Hes.Th.937, Pi.P.4.13, B.12.103, etc.: irreg. Sup., "huperthume statos andron" Stesich.95.
II. in bad sense, overweening, Od.7.59, Hes.Th.719, AP6.332 (Hadr.); over-spirited, of a horse, X.Eq.3.12.
III. vehemently angry, Poll.6.124. Adv., "hyperthumosagan" in over-vehement wrath, A.Eu. 824.
IV. in Adv. also, eagerly, readily, IGRom.4.1302.12(Cyme, i B. C./i A. D.).
Among these definitions we have the example of the over-spirited horse, citing Xenophon's On the Art of Horsemanship:
To sum up: the horse that is sound in his feet, gentle and fairly speedy, has the will and the strength to stand work, and, above all, is obedient, is the horse that will, as a matter of course, give least trouble and the greatest measure of safety to his rider in warfare. But those that want a lot of driving on account of their laziness, or a lot of coaxing and attention on account of their high spirit, make constant demands on the rider's hands and rob him of confidence in moments of danger.
We recall the figure of the "horse-trainer" from Socrates of the Apology (25b). The over-thymotic man, someone like Achilles, is in a sense the unbroken man, the one that will not take the bit, the one withtoo much soul. How is society to deal with the thymos, and eventually the menis-wrath of the over-souled person or peoples? Is the only rapidly expandable economy that of Capitalism's desire and lack-driven instrumentalities, vanishing petite object a's, economies that work by "sublimating" into atomized individual of guilt and pleasure, or worse and alternately as Sloterdijkwill tell us, the vast "banking" of thymotic anger within a social collective, resenting Revolutionary Left?
Sloterdijk's Zorn und Zeit
I have not read Anger and Time, and am not overly familiar with Sloterdijk's philosophy so I will have to rely upon the two English reviews linked by Mark, and use extensive quotation so as to build something of a dialogue in thought with the book. At the very least the quotations here might give a context to arguments I am presenting.
"Anger and Time: a critical assessment" [click here] , Miguel de Beistegui
"Zorn und Zeit" [click here], Fransisco R. Klauser
epd society and space
Klauser sets us in the right place, positioning the divinity of Achillean anger as part of a wide, historical immanence of rightful, citizened, defense against political injustice. In this telling Achilles is the power which will not submit to opportunism and legal or customary usurpation. It is the feeling in the breast that grows almost without object, but merely as an objection.
Sloterdijk's reading of the Greek heroic epos, the imaginary space of gods, half-gods, and divinely chosen angry heroes, underlines that in ancient Hellenistic mythology the origins of anger are neither located in the earthly world, nor attributed to individuals' personalities. Anger is rather understood as a possessed, divine capacity, a god-favoured eruption of power. Hence the birth of the hero as a prophet, whose task is to make the message of his god-given anger an immediate reality (pages 23 , 24). For Homer, to sing the praises of Achilles' heroism also and ultimately means to celebrate the existence of divine forces, which are releasing society from its vegetative daze, through the mediation of the godly chosen `bringer of anger and revenge'.
It is from the Greek mythological relationship with anger that Sloterdijk derives his own conceptualisation of anger through the figure of Thymos. Originally denominating both the Greek hero's specific organ for the reception of god-given anger and the bodily location of his proud self, Thymoslater with Plato, and following the generaltransformationof the Greek psyche from heroic belligerent to more civic virtues, stands for the righteous anger of the Greek citizen as a means of defence from insults and unreasonable attacks (page 42).With the figure of Thymos set against the psycho-analytical focus on Eros, anger, for Sloterdijk, is not only a vent for frustrated desires, but also, and rather, a reactive manifestation of offended pride. (Klauser)
As we can see from this paragraph's end, the economics of Thymos, of soul and anger, vary withthose of Eros diagnosed and thus developed by psychoanalysis. In the notion and confirmation of pride, no longer is this a question of objects, or payments, but of relations. Achilles puts this very pricelessness forth, in defiance of what is hidden, in his ninth book refusal to be bought off by Agamemnon and Odysseus.
Neither counsel will I devise with him nor any work, [375] for utterly hath he deceived me and sinned against me. Never again shall he beguile me with words; the past is enough for him. Nay, let him go to his ruin in comfort, seeing that Zeus the counsellor hathutterlyrobbedhim of his wits. Hateful in my eyes are his gifts, I count them at a hair's1 worth. Not though he gave me ten times, aye twenty times all that now he hath, [380] and if yet other should be added thereto I care not whence, not though it were all the wealth that goeth in to Orchomenus, or to Thebes of Egypt, where treasures in greatest store are laid up in men's houses,-Thebes which is a city of an hundred gates where from sally forth through each two hundred warriors with horses and cars; [385] -nay, not though he gave gifts in number as sand and dust; not even so shall Agamemnon any more persuade my soul, until he hath paid the full price of all the despite that stings my heart. (A. T. Murray translation)
One also recalls the Achillean novella Michael Kohlhaas by Heinrich von Kleist, wherein the hero refuses all possibility of payment or retribution, aside from the restoration of his one horse once illegitimately taken, setting the entire land to war. Righteous indignation allows no translated payment, no abstraction of a wrong. No amount of instrumental increase can restore the injury to the heart.
Miguel de Beistegui continues on with the theme, developing the historical critique that Sloterdijk brings to libidnal organizations. Once anger is internalized, and begins to be "banked", or better, "stored up" (in just the kind of hydraulic metaphors psychoanalysis enjoys), it enters into a different economy: an economy of objects, an economy of hatred, instead of thymos or menis. Interestingly, Sloterdijk characterizes this real banking of anger not so much of the Christianized soul (which begins this internalization), but of the Revolutionary Left (which of course has its distinct history of brutal and collective abuses).
So, beginning with the fact and facticity of anger, Zorn und Zeit describes its economy or, more precisely still, its two possible economies, that is, the way it is and has been managed collectively in European history. The first type of economy is connected with a certain Greek, and specifically Homeric stance, the contemporary equivalent of which Peter Sloterdijk seeks to identify in a renewed concept of pride partakes of a healthy "thymotics". It originates from the thymos, or the part of the soul that, according to the early Greeks, and up until Plato, was thought to be the site of the noblest affects. The second type of economy, on the other hand, is associated with the main processes of collection or gathering of anger, namely, Judeo-Christian metaphysics, and revolutionary politics. It originates from the erotic part of the soul, which defines the envious, libidinal partof the human psyche. If one can speak of anger in both instances, one also needs to emphasise the fact that they do not originate in the same part of the soul. As soon as anger is conserved, preserved, or interiorised, as soon as it is allowed, or worse still, encouraged, to accumulate, as soon as its externalisation is deferred, it enters into a different kind of economy in fact, it enters what has come to be associated with economy as such, and by that we mean the economy of accumulation, growth, and interest. Like monetary economy, the economy of anger crosses its critical threshold when anger rises and moves from a state of local accumulation and punctual expenditure [revenge to] that of a systematic investment and cyclical growth most notably, revolution, especially in its global ambition.
Paradoxically, then, and almost perversely, Sloterdijk argues that the revolutionary movements of the last two centuries, and the communist revolutions in particular, partake of an essentially capitalistic economy of anger that contradicts and undermines the very politicaleconomy it seeks to promote. In other words, and from the point of view of its dominant affect, communism would be driven by the very economy that it seeks to overturn. It would itself be an expression of the drive to accumulate, invest, and live off its capital. It would itself operate like a gigantic bank, in which the world reserve of anger would be deposited, and would grow, with a view to its final and total mobilisation in the name of a global revolution.
Under Sloterdijk's review, Communist projects partake in the very anger-banking processes that drive the Capitalist machine that it seeks to overthrow. The resentment attributed to the priest of Christianity by Nietzsche is accumulated into a great reservoir of assembled power, a power directly attributed to libidinal organizations of psychoanalysis and beyond. And this organization is distinctly that of object-orientation, the internalization and projection upon, control over objects in the world:
The catastrophic effect of psychoanalysis, according to Sloterdijk, lies in its analysis of the conditio humana as a whole on the basis of the dynamic of the libido, and thus on the basis of erotism. This approach would not have been problematic, had it not been developed at the expense of the pole of thymotic energies (page 27). Yet such a one-sided view was no coincidence: the thymotic had long ceased to be valued and analysed as the site of possible values and virtues, with a few notable exceptions, such as Nietzsche and, more recently, Bataille. Psychoanalysis was and remains (for instance, in its Lacanian version) an economy of compensation and sublimation, born of an original and irreducible experience of lack: "Whereas erotism indicates ways towards the `objects' that we lack and in the possession or proximity of which we feel fulfilled, thymotics opens up ways for the human being to value what it has, what it can be, what it is, and what it wants to be" (page 30). In other words, the shift from erotism to thymotics, which Zorn und Zeit hopes to facilitate, is a shift from an economy of possession and lack to an economy of being, power, and plenitude. Throughout history, anger has been eroticised, that is, reduced to libidinal impulses defined by their lack and their weakness. Whenever the human condition is defined by a constitutive lack, also known as sin, the "ethics of indignity" prevail.
Here is where I find my greatest affinity with Sloterdijk's ideas, for it was specifically the contrast between the ever-devising, instrumentalist Odysseus who has come in some modern philosophy quarters to essentialize the existential crisis of modern human beings, bothblessed and cursed by their technological powers, that the Greeks of Athens and even long before positioned Achillean immanence of rightful anger and immanent, eruptive power. It is precisely in terms of what is "hidden" (a favorite of such objectologists as Heidegger) and the character of device users that Achilles forms his objection to Odysseus's very machinationed mind at the start of his book nine speech:
Zeus-born, Laertean, poly-machinationed, Odysseus, it must be now that the telling – spoken outright – it is declared, even as I have the sense, accomplished it shall be, so not with me you'll murmur seated near another to another. For an enemy to me is that man – equal to Hades' gates – who a different thing he hides in his chest, yet another thing he would have said. Nay, I will say what appears to me to be best.
For the Achillean, one does not hide what is other in one's breast but speaks forthrightly, expressionally. The nothingness of hidden thoughts is hated just as the gates of Hades are hated. They are of the same stuff so to speak. I do not believe that the exception is to any dissemblance, but to dissemblance and hiddenness as proper modes of conduct, ideals to be achieved. There is in Odysseus the exemplar of the negotiator, not only of persons, but of circumstances. His is a world of objects which must be positioned. For Achilles, the world is a world of forces, and his is a immanence within them, one in which the alliance with others is a bodily constituted bond. The thymos of Achilles is the very substance that is shared between persons. His taken Briseis is his "thumares" (female form of his thymos 9.336). He thymos is poured into by the grieving of those he loves (9.612). Words matter. Riches are not worth a soul (9.401). The weapons at his disposal are merely withdrawal and action, and the power of those he is allied with. The very object-orientation of his counterpart Odysseus is misplaced. Words and weapons are the very stuff of a life.
These are very noble characteristics, at least we might get a few to agree. But in what sense do these two manners about the world form valid and alternate perspectives? Is there a way in which the Odysseusean West can become more Achillean, more immanent, more bonded, more respectful of the Menis of the wronged, such that its very economy of interactions and concepts were to be organized around notions of dignity and anger? Has history reached a point where the magnanimus, great-heart has gained a substance out-reaching the arms of the instrumental opportunism of assumed object control and prediction? Has an economics and ontology of lack and absence, via the projections of the missing object come to a limit? De Beistegui does not see himself through to a Thymotics of Anger, questioning whether we need a modulated anger, a rationalized anger:
Despite Sloterdijk's claim, I wonder whether anger cannot be seen to have played, and to continue to play, a positive and active role in public life, especially in the face of social injustice not as "simple explosion", "revenge", or "evolution", which Sloterdijkrecognises as the three fundamental forms of anger in Western history (pages 95 , 103), but as yet another form, which can be described as revolt, or rebellion. It is not merely explosive and immediate, for it presupposes a degree of organisation and mobilisation. It is not motivated by revenge, but by a deep sense of injustice and indignity…The anger in question is one that presupposes a sense of outrage, empathy, and therefore something like a social instinct (which Aristotle would call philia, or friendship), but one which, in order to be effective, needs to be mediated and processed rationally.
Bringing Forth an Achillean Spinoza?
I think this an important point, and one which Spinoza could help us out on, for he is expert on the dovetailing of the affects of the mind and rational propositions (and not allowing them to collapse into dual distinctions). Much like a critique of object orientation, Spinoza tells us that affects of love and hatred are mistaken or confused ideas which in a sense blame our weakened states upon external objects. It is the idea of an externalcausethat makes up a mental affect. I would offer that it is precisely in the projection of our pains and sadnesses upon objects that the difference between Immanence and Instrumentality lies. While de Beistegui sees a distinction between an Aristotlean rationality of anger, and the three modes that Sloterdijk prescribes, I do not accept this difference, for within "evolution" I would includetherationalization itself of anger, with the primary Spinozist understanding that the affect of anger (and not hatred) is not counter to the rational. In fact, the menis of Achilles, his thymos by poem's end, is no longer cholos anger, or even named mēnis wrath, now, but has become meneainō which is sheer purposive force, determination, might, strength, power (24.23-54), very close to Spinoza's conatus and potentia. Achilles has moved to through extreme affective determinations to reach this point, but we cannot discount its end. Indeed though Spinoza often frames his advisementsin terms of utility, for instance that nothing is more useful to man, than man, this is always within the bodily, affective combinations of persons withothers and withthe world, in a view towards ultimate and mutualimmanence. The external object is part of the same expressive field. And it would strike me that the very thymotic evolutions are more greatly enhanced the affects of mind as well.
To bring up a specific historical example, the anger of the "barbaric" crowd against the De Witts, savagely murdered as they were leaving prison in August 1672, was a complex venting of political forces. Johan de Witt had guided the Dutch Republic on a course of a uniquely modernist ends, a state of freedoms of expressions, the enhancement of new capitalist forces; yet he had utterly failed to protect the Dutch from the Catholic armies of Louis XIV which were set to eclipse the entire land. His failure as a leader cannot be dismissed from the reasons for his lynched execution. It is too easy to see him solely as the victim of reactionary, dull-minded hoi polloi who simply did not understand his Enlightened genius (and surely he was genius). It was also the uprising of the populace, farmers, women, that had perhaps saved the Republic up to this point (as deWitt was being forced into very poor positions of negotiation for defeat). The savagery with which he and his brother was killed has interesting parallels to the inhuman treatment Achilles gave Hectors corpse (there were eye witness reports of cannibalism). When Spinoza cried "Ultima barbarorum!" he was staring right into the heart of the democratic powers he hoped to enlist, but savagely so; he felt that these were not the thymotic angerof indignity and pride, but that of banked hatred and projection upon objects. I think that this is partly true. Yes, imaginary relations helped organize the riot, but the actual brutality, the excessive object concern, the rending of the flesh, likely stemmed from real thymotic incursion into the social field, the eruption of the offended beast:
For days an angry crowd had been gathering in front of the Gevangenpoort, and they wanted to see blood. Tichelaer [a likely false accuser of an attempt assinate the Prince] was given every opportunity to whip up emotions. Cornelis, in not fit state after the torture he had been subjected to, had asked his brother to send a carriage. Johan arrived in person at half past nine, apparently in the naive belief that he could calm the crowd. He could not have been more mistaken. The soldiers and civic militiamen, who had mounted guard aroundthe entrance to the prison, were becoming just as agitated as the crowd. Shops started closing in nearby neighborhoods as people began to sense trouble. Wild rumors were making the rounds, one of which maintained that peasants from the surrounding countryside were on their way to plunder The Hague. After endless waiting, at four o'clock the militia men forced the brothers outside (The Dutch Republic in the Seventeeth Century, 53-54)
The confluence of Voetian and Orangist alliance had been grafted onto I suspect, a much larger force of fear and dignity come from the country side and the lower classes, the dispersion of forces that had held the Dutch Republic intact from the assaults of the Catholic French. The bodies of the brothers deWitt eventually became inscribed with the very conatus of Dutch persistence, and in no small respect did the vicissitudes of Enlightenment capitalism and Burgerism, the mobilization of a merchant class at the expense of industry stability (such were the sea lanes and identities of nobility), incur this ignorant protest that built itself through the streets. The mark of the brutality of their murders, was I suspect less the mark of the imaginary, and more the mark of Achillean protest, pure and simple, upon the very matter that confined them, held to the surface and organs of the body.
What Is The Locus of Protest?
Further on the issue of the rational at its relationship to the affect of menis, or thymos, and I don't know if Sloterdijk follows this at all, but Achilles's thymotic response in one of at first petition (to his mother goddess) and then strategic withdrawl and inaction. The menis wrath is thus also a quietude of reflection. I find Achilles to be much more of a Spinozist hero than many might suppose.
De Beisteguiraises the very interesting point that if there is to be a thymotic transformation of social economies, they would have to occur within the libidnally based structure of Capitalism itself, within the very erotic realm of object-pursuit. Our very states of infinite debt seem to be too married to the deep investments of personal sublimation which constitute the very meaning of our lives. There strikes him to be a very incompatibility between the deep dept of our economic system, and the debts of our lives.
For isn't capitalism, especially in its current form, based on the systematic appeal to the erotic, and to our ability to desire what we perceive to be lacking, and in the possession and consumption of which we hope to find satisfaction? In itself impossible to ever satisfy completely, this desire is partially fulfilled through consumption, yet at the cost of a mounting debt, and the dependence on a system to which we find ourselves ever more riveted, ever more enslaved.
In short, whilst I see how the ethics of dignity that Sloterdijk promotes is incompatible with, and in fact radically opposed to, the revolutionary and global impulses witnessed in the 20th century, I fail to see how the aristocratic or thymotic stance he advocates is compatible with the current state of Western capitalism, driven by ever greater and more crippling levels of debt, deficit, and lack. In fact, one might want to go as far as to argue that if it is true that we might be hard-pressed to identify one universal discourseor "bank", in which we could invest our anger, with the hope of seeing it grow in the future, we could be equally, if not more, hard-pressed to find any promise of a future that would not already be spent, already mortgaged. At the economic level, it is through consumption that we seek to alleviate ourselves form our sense of lack, our fear, and our decadent eroticism. But this is not an investment. In fact, it leads to a greater sense of lack, and a greater desire. It forces one to borrow from one'sown future, to live one's future before it has been actually lived. The truth is, we're not saving or storing anything, not even anger. In many ways, we've already spent our future, and chained ourselves to this loss.We've given away something that we have not yet lived, and can never be ours, namely, time. We don't even own ourselves anymore. No wonder we're afraid. No wonder we're angry.
There is almost something poetic to this, we have exhausted ourselves, spent all our notes of promise, and there is no bank or discourse to redeem our expenditures, nor even internal resources to drawn on again. I think the answer of course is that we are in our state an Agamemnon, and it is our recourse to grant respect to the Achilleses of the world. If we of the West have outspent ourselves, clearly there is menis enough in the world, lament enough in the world, to see where we have deposited our investments and actions. It is perhaps at most that outside ofour realm, more than ever, as learned by Achilles with his Priam, that we must look for the possibilities of the thymotic economy. To take two examples, we in the West often confuse ourselves over the dramatic mournings of those in Islam, paralyze ourselves over the numerical vastness of rape, disease and war in Africa in tumults. These, I suspect, are Achilles laments of thymos. Something to be acknowledged at a very deep and symbolic (and not instrumental) level. There is no dearth of soul in the world.
Infinite Debt or Bodies in Composition
Lastly, critically brings the very technological attachments between persons that now inhabit and construct our world, attachments of such speed and transfer that events as images seem to defy any human growth, as centered on the human:
If we are to consider the question of time, or the question of our time, in relation to a specific attunement, or a set of attunements, we need to take into consideration the way in which, not human beings, but machines, and information systems in particular, act as decisive mediators and formidable accelerators and amplifiers. They are the bank, or the automatic growth vehicles, through which those affects are processed, and to a large extent produced. The current financial crisis, in which the banking system is at issue, as well as the terrorist attacks on the US of 9/11, illustrate this new dimension of a bank of affects that can be mobilised at a moment's notice, and turned into global catastrophes. At no point, therefore, would I suggest that those affects bring us any closer to the ideal that Sloterdijk evokes in his book. In fact, inasmuch as they stem from the most negative of affects, namely, fear, and lock us into a climate of suspicion and depression, they disallow the spirit of self-esteem and self recognition which Sloterdijk wants to revive. They do not allow us to grow and flourish as free spirits. Rather, they continue to capitalise on the negative eroticism which Sloterdijk so adequately describes.
I do not fully accept Sloterdijk's division between eroticism and the thymotic, though I can certainly see the value of the distinction. Achilles most certainly had an eros for Protroklus that was born of his thymos, as he did for Briseis. And there are distinct object-concerns for Achilles, not in the economy of abstract exchange, but in terms of passage. He holds onto both Patroklus and Hector, the one as a soul-ghost, the other as a brute materiality. His abuse of the body is a product of the circulation of his thymotic rage, quieted, and brought into incantational repetition. When de Beistegui emphasizes that the attunements of our day are of machines and informations systems, and not of human beings I think he is actually pointing the way forward, towards a post-human Achillean Age. This is the difference between the aristocratic gift giving economy that may perhaps be suggested by a Bill Gates and Warren Buffett of efficacy of philanthropy. The gifts and growths are not strictly of human beings, as centered subjects. The growth is of immanence itself, the immanence of recognition across subjectivities, in the answer to affects in communication.
Yes, technological affect transfers indeed employ intersubjective projections. Britney Spears's face on the screen allows for the conduit of affect bleeds across space and time with incredible motion. Instantly we can coalesce. And yes, we want to move away from object-orientation and concerns with lack. But the destablization of the human subject brought on through technologies is the very path forward to thymotic economies, for identifications in individual powers allows us not only depressions and fears, but polyversal bodies, bodies capable of ornate action. Key is that the thymotic is recognizable as source and determination. Hatred needs to be pushed back, ciphoned back, into its river mouth ofanger and pride, a well-spring for a community of values and generosity of mutal recognition. Not sub-jects, or ob-jects, but syn-jects.
Lastly, Klauser tells us something that Spinoza balanced his entire Ethics upon, that the logic of love and hatred are the same. Those concerned primarily with objectsarethose who must bear the burden of this truth.
`Based on its erotodynamic approach, psychoanalysis has shed much light on hate as the dark side of love. This approach has shown that hate and love rely on a similar logic, with projection and recidivism being in command in both cases. Yet, psychoanalysis has remained silent in view of anger, which originates from successful or failed aspirations to success, reputation and self-respect" (page 27)
Anyone who knows why the artist casts the bell to be rung in the village square, or why the horse rolls in the grass, knows that it is not a question of objects, nor their accounting.

NYE 2009 was feeling fine this year with my new accessories.
This year I rokked BCBG Lornas in black on my feet. They were pretty good for dancing until about 3am, when dancing became slightly more impossible....though, I blame the champagne and shots more than the shoes.
I also rokked my new B. Makowsky Athens tote in purple, which I fondly refer to as "the grape ape". This bag was perfect for carrying all my NYE goodies, camera, and a whole bottle of champagne, which we drank, in addition to the free champagne being handed out by the bar.
Cheers for the rokkin beats by DJs Hecubus, rfbutter, and PrettyTony, among others - thanks for bringing the jams. Cheers for free champage. Cheers for magic marker moustaches.

How to Enable Wifi Direct On Samsung Galaxy
12.02.2020 Buris Samsung
What is Wi-Fi Direct?
How to set up Wi-Fi Direct on the phone?
How to connect a PC to a TV via Wi-Fi Direct?
A couple of years ago, in order to connect a TV or some other gadget to a computer, it was necessary to find a suitable cable and perform a bunch of settings. Today, things are different. It is enough to have a modern device that supports the Wi-Fi Direct function and make a few settings. Therefore, we will consider an urgent topic on how to enable Wi-Fi Direct on Windows 10 and connect various devices to the system.
Wi-Fi Direct is a modern wireless network standard that allows you to transfer information between multiple devices that support this technology. At the same time, only a router, or rather an access point, is needed to pair devices. No adapters or cables are needed. Devices themselves find each other.
Today, such a function is supported by almost all PCs, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and even cameras, printers, and other devices.
However, you should immediately note several features in the work of this function:
The data transfer speed with a direct connection can reach 200-250 Mbit / s, and the range will reach 50-100 meters.
To work with the Wi-Fi Direct function, the gadget must have a chip. This chip can be of several types: functioning in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. There are also devices, however, they are not from the budget, which support work in both ranges.
When creating a connection for several devices via Wi-Fi Direct in the office, you need to understand that when connecting a third-party device, data transfer security is not guaranteed. Therefore, this function is recommended to be used at home and only with password-protected Wi-Fi.

Therefore, if your device has this feature and you want to connect another gadget to it, it's worth making a few simple settings, which we will describe now.
In order to use the Direct function on your phone, you should do the following:
Turn on Wi-Fi in the device settings.
As soon as you activate Wi-Fi, the Direct function will appear in the menu. We click on it to open.
We start the search for devices.
As soon as a new gadget is found, you should select it and confirm the connection.
To transfer materials to the second device, you should find the file and select "Send via." and specify Wi-Fi Direct.
Thus, you can connect several devices that support the Wi-Fi Direct function. However, it is important to remember that in connection with different versions of Android firmware, step-by-step actions may differ from those presented.

The way how to connect the computer to the TV, or vice versa, will be different from the above.
Using the instructions that came with your LG or Samsung TV, we connect the device to the same router as the PC.
Now configure the DLNA server on a laptop or desktop PC. To do this, in the Explorer in the menu on the left, select "Network". A notification appears that says "Network discovery and file sharing are disabled." We right-click on this message and select "Enable Network Discovery and File Sharing."
A message will appear. You need to choose to create a private network.
After that, a list of all devices connected to this network will appear in Explorer.
After DLNA is activated, you need to go to the menu of your TV to view the contents of connected devices. For example, in LG TVs, you need to select the "SmartShare" section. It will display the contents of folders that are allowed to view in Windows 10.
Next, to run a movie on an LG TV, you need to right-click on it and select "Play on." and select the model of the device that will be displayed in the list.

Users are required and expected to generate and remember numerous good passwords, a challenge that is next to impossible without a systematic approach to the task. Associative passwords in combination with guidelines for the construction of 'Word', 'Mixed', and 'Non-word' passwords has been validated as an effective approach to creating strong, memorable passwords. The strength of associative passwords has previously been assessed by entropy-based metrics. This paper evaluates the strength of a set of collected associative passwords using a variety of password-cracking techniques. Analysis of the cracking sessions shows that current techniques for cracking passwords are not effective against associative passwords.

If the M20 becomes full, lorries heading for the Port of Dover will be directed to Manston Airfield, while the M20 is used to hold traffic for Eurotunnel. Traffic lights on the A256 will help to manage traffic arriving at the port from Manston, similar to the existing system on the A20.
Instructions for lorry drivers will be clearly signed, well managed and monitored at every step.
The holding areas are all temporary and will be stood down as soon as they are no longer needed. They will be safe and secure with appropriate welfare facilities and access for emergency services throughout.
The queuing system only applies to drivers of lorries heading to mainland Europe from Kent. All other drivers should check conditions before setting out and, if they are crossing the channel, check with their service operator for updates.
