Astro Teller | Captain of Moonshots, X, Alphabet's innovation lab
By Lauren Goode | Nov. 8, 2016
The Verge 2021
In celebration of our 5th anniversary, this month we're publishing a series of interviews with innovative leaders about what the next five years hold. To read more about this series, read our editor Nilay Patel's introduction here.
Few subsidiaries at Alphabet Inc. inspire as much curiosity as Google X, now called simply "X." X is the company's innovation lab, where ambitious but far-fetched tech ideas are pitched, tested, and either come to life or are ultimately killed. It's where Google's self-driving car concept was developed, where giant internet access balloons were conceived, where glucose-monitoring contact lenses were first experimented with, and where burrito-delivering drones are part of a beta test for bigger things.
And while more than 250 employees are behind these far-fetched projects, for the past five years the face of X has been Astro Teller, the so-called "Captain of Moonshots."
Teller has the CV of a mad scientist: he has degrees in computer science, symbolic and heuristic computation, and a PhD in artificial intelligence from Carnegie Mellon University. After his time in academia, he founded health-tracking company Body Media (acquired by Jawbone) before joining Google X. With his goatee, ponytail, and the Rollerblades he wears everywhere, all day, Teller has become one of Google's most recognizable characters. He is a published author of both fiction and nonfiction books; he gives TED Talks.
But for someone so heavily involved in futuristic projects, Teller stubbornly refuses to predict the future. For him, X is not a lab that churns out immediately useable technology or marketable products, but a place where innovation is "systemized" — imagine Henry Ford's assembly line, but for ideas. He's less inclined to prognosticate about solutions than he is to talk about the problems that will need to be addressed in the future — whether it's the "meta problem" of climate change; the threats and promises of artificial intelligence; or just how, exactly, society's acceptance of new technology will match the rapid pace of innovation.
What does a day look like five to 10 years from now?
The real answer is I don't know, and much more importantly, I don't think anyone knows. Trying to prognosticate is a very dangerous business. It's good for people who are on the speaking circuit, but there isn't any evidence that anyone is any good at it.
The way I would like to function, the way I think most of us here at X function, is to focus instead on asking the questions for the kinds of futures that we imagine might be possible. How fast can we discover that we're wrong, get rid of those ideas or evolve them from where they currently are, to correctly pointed ideas?
You've been quoted as saying that your team doesn't fall in love with solutions, you fall in love with problems. Five to 10 years from now, what are our biggest problems?
I'm a big believer in falling in love with the problems, not falling in love with the technologies. But falling in love with the problem doesn't always teach you exactly what to do.
For example, you could observe that starting around 10,000 years ago humanity stopped primarily hunting for meat. We started domesticating animals instead. Yet we still get more than half of the fish that we eat in the world by hunting it. That's just weird. Surely that won't stay the way it currently is. In the future we will surely be farming in the sea and not just the standard fish farming that happens on shore and very near to the shore.
Climate change is a huge problem, almost a meta problem. It has a set of problems within it. Just because we've identified a problem, that means it's on our radar screen. It doesn't mean that we've found a solution to it yet or even working on the solution yet.

Let's talk a little bit about the fear of change — how do you prepare society at large for radically new technologies?
Historically, changes in our society, particularly those driven by technology, used to take a long time. One thousand years ago, when somebody came up with a new technology the time between when the technology was invented and when it was widespread in the world… was huge.
That gave us several generations during which people could come to terms with how society was being changed by that technology. One hundred years ago when the steam engine was introduced or the telegraph or the telephone, [and] somewhat later the television, those things spread through humanity much faster. They spread maybe on the order of 10 to 20 years.
"The time between when a new technology is introduced and when it's completely changed the world has continued to shrink."
Fast-forward to today, the time between when a new technology is introduced and when it's completely changed the world has continued to shrink at a fast rate. It's now probably five to seven years between when a new technology is introduced and when it really has changed society in a fundamental way. If the world is now changing faster than we can accommodate, it causes a huge incremental level of anxiety for society at large. That is our challenge.
What can be done about that? We can point to specific parts of society which we know we could make better. The patent system was built 130–140 years ago around the idea that you would be granted a temporary monopoly for your idea, it would last about 20 years and you would harvest a lot of value during that time. Then it would be free to everybody afterwards.
Today that's still true. It's still a 20-year license that you're getting. [But] now technology is changing so fast, by the time you get the patent it's often not worth that much anymore because [it's] old news…
The way we make laws and regulate technology is another good example where the pace at which we understand the technology and then build laws around that technology is now going sufficiently slower than the technology itself.
We need to fix that. We need to go faster on those fronts.
Whose responsibility is it to mitigate some of that anxiety around technology? The technologists? The regulators? Or is society supposed to adapt more quickly?
I think that the onus for how we help society to adjust to new technologies falls on all of us. Does it fall on technologists? Absolutely. Technologists should be making responsible technologies. They should be working hard to educate the world about the ramifications of the technologies such as they can foresee them. That doesn't mean no one else has any responsibility.
The rate at which society copes with new technologies and their ramifications for society is partly rate limited by how we educate both the young people and adults in this country. If technology is continuing to change faster and faster and we don't get better and better at educating our children to adapt to these changes, then we, the public sector and the education system, are failing our children.
I don't mean to suggest that technologists don't have a role to play in how society adapts to new technologies, but certainly other aspects of society also have to pitch in so that society can really elegantly and smoothly keep pace with the technology changes that are happening.
You're part of a group called AI100 that's doing a very long-term study on the impact of artificial intelligence. The researchers involved have said they don't consider it likely that, in the near term, AI systems will autonomously choose to inflict harm on people. But they also noted that it is possible for people to use AI systems for harmful — as well as helpful — purposes. How do you see AI impacting society?
Artificial intelligence is going to turn out, I predict — it's a dangerous thing as I've said to try to predict the future — [to be] technology that profoundly changes the world. We will come to see [it] the way we see electricity. It will be in everything. It will power almost everything, but we will rarely stop to think about it in very much the way that electricity has changed so much of our lives and yet we now take so much for granted.
"I'm sure there will be abuses of artificial intelligence in some ways."
I'm sure there will be abuses of artificial intelligence in some ways. I'm also confident that on balance, like electricity, artificial intelligence will be a lever for the human mind. It will make it so that the things around us make our lives better. There's no strong evidence that I've seen that that won't be the future that we end up in.
Cyber security is one of the world's big problems. Surely the bad guys in the cyber security world will use smart interesting ways of counting, [or] artificial intelligence by another name, to enable them to do bad things. Society probably has two choices. We can just let them get the upper hand, or we can have artificial intelligence participate in protecting us. I think that microcosm is a useful way for us to think about what our choice is in society. The hackers are going to do it either way. Do we want to get our software system smarter and smarter about protecting us or not?
I think a lot of people have a vision of the future in which they wake up in the morning and shout to their virtual assistant to perform tasks for them — we already do this. Then a robot will drive them to work and fold their laundry at home at night. But the tradeoff is that we have to give up an immense amount of personal data in order to enable this. That makes some people very wary. Do you think this will still be an issue in the future?
I think that people will have a pretty wide spectrum of how much data they feel comfortable sharing, but I think it's fair to say that even wealthy people who can afford a personal [human] assistant have a pretty wide spectrum on the kinds of stuff that they will share with their assistants. Some will tell their assistants everything, will give them the codes to their bank account and ask them to do a lot of things that other people are uncomfortable having a human assistant do.
If you don't want to share your data, you shouldn't have to share your data with a digital assistant. Simultaneously, I don't think anyone should be made to feel bad if they want the benefits they can get from a digital assistant. Of course, the only way to get those benefits is for the digital assistant to have enough data to be able to help them. I would certainly hope that the future encompasses both of those perspectives and allows for both of those kinds of people to get what they want.
What does the job market look like once AI has started to displace some of the tasks that humans currently handle?
Technology has been displacing and creating jobs since there was technology. The lever, one of the first technologies that was ever created, allows one person to lift up something that before would have taken many people to lift up. That caused some people, from a narrow perspective, to lose their jobs.
"Artificial intelligence is likely to cause some jobs to go away."
It turns out that that hasn't actually caused people to lose their jobs because people spend their time making levers and because it turned out that instead of one person moving the boulder that used to cost you 10 people… you would use that one person to move that one boulder [and] you have nine other people moving their own boulders. You now move 10 times as many boulders.
In other words, artificial intelligence is likely to cause some jobs to go away and is going to create a ton of new opportunity. In order to believe that all jobs are going to go away, which is a rather extreme view, but certainly one that some people are saying, I think you would have to believe that there's an end to the problems in the world. That the problems are going to get all used up, taken up. That artificial intelligence will be so good we will run out of problems. I don't believe that that's going to happen.
It is a failure of imagination on our collective parts that we can't see how, when robots take [over] some of what we're currently doing, it won't just level us up to the next level.
Project Wing, which is X's drone project, recently tested food delivery by drone. Have you had a burrito delivered to you by drone?
It was great. It was actually slightly magical. I think people over-focus on drones plus burritos. I guess I understand why they can over-fixate on that, but here's how I would describe it.
Every time we have, as a society, as a species, removed another big chunk of the friction in how physical things are moved around in the physical world — boats, planes, trains, horses and the pony express, the mail system — [we have] profoundly changed society. It's easy for us to see those things looking backwards because we've become used to not having the frictions that have been removed. We would never go back, but we're very used to the remaining friction and how physical things are moved around in the physical world.
"You probably have a power drill. You use it one-10,000th of the time, maybe one-100,000th of the time."
[Let's say] you could just snap your fingers and have something magically appear in your hand whenever you wanted it [at] no cost, and it was instantaneous. You have a hammer in your home. You probably have a power drill. You use it one-10,000th of the time, maybe one-100,000th of the time. If that hammer was sitting in some central location, it could be shared by thousands of people, really safely, making everybody wealthier functionally because they would get the hammer when they need it without having to pay for the hammer and drain the world's resources by making all of these hammers that go almost entirely unused.
You have a drawer full of batteries right now in your home, I guarantee you, that are discharging very slowly. Maybe you have a little ziplock bag full of them, because you never know for sure when you're going to need one and what shape it's going to need to be.
Because you don't know and because it's surprisingly inconvenient to go to CVS or Walgreens to get another battery, you just keep all of these batteries in your home that are slowly discharging, most of which will hit zero without you ever using them. You're wasting the planet in a really dramatic way and the reason you're doing it is because you can't just snap your fingers and have that battery appear.
If we could move from an ownership society to an access society where having it now wasn't important… [but] having it when you need it, it would really dramatically, magically, change the world.
So in the future, drones will be flying through the air overhead. We won't own as many things because we'll be sharing them. Unmanned aerial vehicles will essentially power the sharing economy and reduce our carbon footprint — all of this great stuff. What is the biggest challenge to achieving that right now?
I don't want to minimize the challenges for the Wing project. We need to make things that can successful move long distances completely autonomously with very high levels of safety and reasonably inexpensively. That is not a solved problem.
You want to make sure that you don't hit a power line, that if something goes wrong with one of your motors, that you can land elegantly instead of just crashing out of the sky. That when you get where you're going, the system can cope thoughtfully with where to put the package down and possibly taking a package back or something else.
There are a lot of as yet unsolved problems.
"I've actually already seen designs for skyscrapers that have little mini-heliports sticking outside the window."
Will residences in the future be designed with drone launch pads and landing pads? Will this actually factor into our design and the way we live?
I've actually already seen designs for skyscrapers that have little mini-heliports sticking outside the window so that UAVs can drop packages on people's windows in high-rises or just outside their windows or maybe land and then someone can take the package right there. I've seen those designs, that's something that we're working on. I think it's maybe a little premature to be building buildings like that, but good for them for starting to imagine them.
With Project Loon, X is trying to solve problems around internet access, both for the underserved and for people in the developed world who have internet access but want to fill in the gaps. Do you see any potential downside to constant connectivity?
I sometimes wish my kids would get off their phones, but [I'm not] one of the people who believes that society is being damaged by constant connectivity. I happen, actually, not to be a heavy user of social media. Maybe I'm just missing the addiction, so it doesn't seem that bad to me, but I believe that this is not the first time that people have panicked that technology or other kinds of innovations in society were going to ruin society.
Rock n roll was heavily billed as destroying the youth of America and somehow the youth of America have survived rock n roll. I rather suspect they will survive Facebook as well.
What is the thing or the project that X is doing right now [that] you think will have the most impact on society in five to 10 years?
I'm not going to pick the favorite of my children. That's not a winning proposition. But I'm going to give you my honest answer.
I hope that in the end, when we look back at X 10 years from now, 20 years from now, the process that I've described to you our attempt to systematize innovation, to get that balance of crazy optimism and really hard skepticism, married together and balanced [will be] just right.
If we can get that right enough and demonstrate enough times that we have at least somewhat systematized innovation, I'm hopeful that that will turn out to be the thing that has the biggest impact rather than any one of the projects that comes out of X.
So it's X's process, rather than a specific product.
What I'm saying is, what do you think had a bigger impact on the world? Henry Ford's observation about how to make stuff, or the Model T? I believe that Henry Ford's bigger impact on the world was the systematization of interchangeable parts in a factory setting. That was even bigger than some of the car-specific stuff that the factory built.
In the same way, while I'm very proud of some of the things that have already graduated from X — the self-driving cars, the life sciences project, the deep learning work called Google Brain that went back to Google. I'm very proud of a lot of the things that are currently being brewed here, I am hopeful that in the end the thing that… will have created the most value is the way we're making them.
Will X be around in five to 10 years?
I don't know, but you're welcome to come back in five to 10 years and ask.
Will X last as long as Ford has? Ford's been around for a long time.
X is certainly intended to go on into the future. Whether it does or not we'll have to wait and see.

Durham health unit merging with three other agencies
Posted on May 21, 2019 by oshawaexpress in NEWS, REGION
By Dave Flaherty/The Oshawa Express
Durham's health department will be amalgamated with three others under a proposed plan by the province.
In its 2019 budget, the Ford government announced it would take Ontario's 35 public health units and merge them into 10 regional planning groups.
Under the proposed plan, Durham would join with the Peterborough, Prince Edward-Hastings, and Kawartha-Haliburton-Pine Ridge health units.
The regional body would serve Durham, the City of Peterborough and Peterborough County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and the counties of Northumberland, Haliburton, Prince Edward, and Hastings.
The proposed changes are set to take place in April 2020.
It is estimated this move will save the province approximately $200 million per year.
Dr. Robert Kyle, medical officer of health for Durham Region, said his department is aware of the boundary changes but it remains unclear what the full impact will be.
With little information, Kyle said it is far too early to say whether the merger is a good or bad idea.
"I suppose there are pros and cons to every idea," Kyle noted.
He said in its current existence, Durham Health receives services such as IT, finance and human resources from the region for a nominal fee.
Under the new system, Kyle said, "We'd have to untangle ourselves from the region, and then get services from the regional entity."
"We don't really have the assets that we can contribute to a regional entity. There are real challenges in terms of pooling current assets," he said.
It is also unclear how the 10 new regional health departments will be governed.
"The whole issue of executive leadership, what does it look like? Who is in charge?" he asks, adding it remains to be seen whether services that are currently provided locally will continue to be.
In terms of staffing, Kyle explains each health department has different collective bargaining agreements with employees.
These agreements would likely need to be renegotiated.
While cost savings have been identified as the driving force behind the government's plans, Kyle has some serious doubts whether this goal will be achieved.
In his 30 years as a medical officer of health, he has overseen the merger of numerous paramedic departments in Durham Region.
"I can tell you, there were no savings there," Kyle said.
He admits he was caught off guard when he learned about the proposed amalgamations.
The plans mirror those proposed by the previous Liberal government in 2017.
"It was panned universally by the entire public health community, not because people were trying to preserve their own situations, but you are talking massive interruptions for little gain over a long amount of time," Kyle said.
Durham's top doctor believes the status of public health in Ontario is the strongest it's ever been, and wonders if the province's plan are really needed.
"The disruption that lies ahead is unprecedented in my judgement," he said.
But the larger issue in Kyle's eyes are the cuts to public health, which equate to about $750 million over a three year period.
The timing of these measures – shortly after the region passed its own budget – has left the municipality with "limited opportunity" to absorb the cuts, he states.
Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition, is extremely concerned about the province's plans.
"There is no recommendation to do this that I'm aware of that in any way has measured the impact on public health or anything in the public interest," Mehra told The Oshawa Express. "Public health is vitally important – the services they provide are hugely health promotional and preventable."
Mehra states the impact of public health departments is evident by their role in addressing the outbreak of Ebola, SARS and the E.coli crisis in Walkerton almost two decades ago.
"We know more epidemics and pandemics are coming," Mehra says.
Under the current system, the Durham Region Health Department provides services and programs to the region's population of roughly 646,000 people according to the 2016 Census.
Under the government's plans, the regional health department that will include Durham will serve more than 1 million people spanning east from the Bay of Quinte, west to Pickering, and north to county cottage in Haliburton.

This model uses a single, lead bank to concentrate data flows from secondary banks into Treasury. The concentration bank forwards payment instructions and collects status information and balance reporting data from the company's "other" banks and delivers this data to the company. The integration cloud is shifted to the concentration bank.
There is typically a significant implementation lead time to implement this model. The concentration bank must negotiate secure interfaces (often proprietary in nature) and support arrangements with each of the company's other banks on behalf of the client. In addition, the concentration bank may need to prioritize and build new bank interfaces.
The concentration bank model has the advantage of using a single channel for corporate connectivity, resulting in reduced development costs. However, Treasury is then fully dependent on a single bank for routing and distribution. The relationship with your concentration bank must be a solid, long-term one. There can be minor or even severe integration challenges (both technologically and operationally) between the concentration and non-concentration banks. Lower development costs do not necessarily result in any overall cost savings as the connectivity fees of the non-concentration banks are being replaced with increased fees from the concentration bank.

Hałda w Rydułtowach – hałda odpadów pokopalnianych w Rydułtowach w powiecie wodzisławskim na Górnym Śląsku. Powstała przy kopalni Rydułtowy. W 2007, z kilkudziesięciu propozycji społecznych, została jej nadana nazwa "Szarlota".

Charakterystyka i historia
Jest jedną z najwyższych hałd w Europie – od podstawy mierzy ok. 134 metry, szczyt znajduje się ok. 403 m n.p.m. Zajmuje powierzchnię 37 hektarów i ma objętość 13,3 mln m³. Do roku 2024 niższa część hałdy ma zostać zlikwidowana (stożek nr 2 o wysokości 367,9 m n.p.m. i zwał płasku nr 3).

Na hałdzie deponowany przede wszystkim kamień z zakładu przeróbczego kopalni i (w mniejszym zakresie) materiał z robót przygotowawczych. Były to w głównie piaskowce i silnie zwęglone iłowce. W okresie użytkowania hałdy odpady powęglowe były transportowane na szczyty stożków koleją wąskotorową. Taki sposób składowania powodował segregację odpadów (bryły i frakcje kamieniste staczały się i gromadziły się u podnóża, wyżej układała się frakcja żwirowa, a w szczytowych partiach piaskowa i ilasta). Uziarnienie zmieniało się z czasem. Procesy wietrzenia i erozji wywoływały lasowanie się i dezintegrację odpadów. W wyniku tego wzrastała procentowa zawartość frakcji kamienistej i żwirowej. W południowo-zachodniej części hałdy znajduje się materiał przepalony.

Grawitacyjna segregacja odpadów ułatwiała przenikanie powietrza w głąb hałdy. Wytworzyło to wewnątrz naturalną depresję wymuszającą przepływ powietrza przez zwały z dołu do góry, powodując proces ich podpalenia. W 1992 zlecono wykonanie dokumentacji technicznej dotyczącej rekultywacji składowiska i zabezpieczenia go przed zapaleniem. Wybrano metodę polegającą na wykopaniu rowów chłonnych.

Jest częściowo pokryta roślinnością, stanowi dominujący element krajobrazu okolicy. Hałda jest doskonale widoczna z pobliskich miejscowości m.in. z Wodzisławia Śląskiego i Radlina i z niektórych szczytów Beskidów np. z Czantorii Wielkiej i Łysej Góry.

W 2015 na szczycie umieszczono oświetlenie, które jest widoczne z odległości do 20 kilometrów.

Z hałdy przy sprzyjających warunkach można zobaczyć: Tatry, Beskid Śląski, Małą Fatrę i Góry Opawskie.

If you could see in gamma ray light instead of the optical light we are used to, the Crab Nebula pulsar would be one of the brightest objects in the sky. The Crab Nebula was created when a star in that region ended its life as a supernova, leaving behind the cloud of gas (the crab nebula) and the neutron star inside (the pulsar). The powerful supernova explosion occurred in 1054 A.D. and was recorded by Chinese astronomers. It was so powerful that its star-like glimmer could be seen by the naked eye during the day.

One of the coolest features of the Mac OS has long been its exceptional support for multiple monitors as an "extended desktop" (a.k.a., "screen spanning" mode). In extended desktop mode, two or more displays can act as a single Desktop — move your mouse cursor off the edge of one and it will appear at the corresponding edge of another. Way back when Windows was first getting… well, windows , Mac users were using extended desktop mode to view multiple documents; documents and application palettes; and even multiple applications side by side.
Unfortunately, not all Mac users can take advantage of extended desktop mode. In order to differentiate their "professional" computer lines from the "consumer" ones, Apple's consumer-level Macs (the iMac, eMac, and iBook) don't support this feature. Although all recent consumer models provide at least a mini-VGA video port, any display connected to that port can only mirror — show the same thing as — the computer's main display.
So, then, how do you explain the photo below?
No, you're not imagining things. That really is a flat-panel display connected to an iMac G5 in extended desktop mode. But how did we do it?
Although many people assume that Apple's consumer-level computers don't support screen spanning because they use lower-end video cards or because of some other type of hardware limitation, that's not really it — the video cards found in all of Apple's latest consumer models fully support this feature. The real reason is that Apple has disabled extended desktop mode in Open Firmware. If you don't know what Open Firmware is, don't worry; the key here is that if this feature can be disabled in Open Firmware, it can also be enabled in the same way. The trick is how to do it. You could manually type the appropriate commands in Open Firmware at startup, but the sight of Open Firmware — which looks a lot like Terminal — is scary for many users. Even worse, a typo could leave your Mac unable to even boot.
Warning: Make sure you read the list of supported computers and video cards. More importantly, pay attention to those video cards — such as the ATI Rage series — that are specifically not supported.
Even if your Mac is supported, keep in mind that this exercise is not supported by Apple. Though theoretically harmless (and reversible), it's not guaranteed. And it likely voids your Mac's warranty.
If you ever want to revert to Apple's original Open Firmware settings, you either run Screen Spanning Doctor again and click the Disable Spanning button or you reset your Mac's NVRAM.
As a side note, if you read the list of supported Macs on the Screen Spanning Doctor website, you'll notice that our new iMac G5 isn't listed. However, since it uses the same video card (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra) as the previous 17-inch and 20-inch iMacs, which are supported, we decided to risk it for the benefit of you, our readers. We can report that in our testing, on our iMac, it works great.
Super-observant readers will notice one other odd thing in the iMac G5 photo above: The iMac is driving a DVI display. Why is this odd? The monitor ports on the newer iBooks, iMacs, and eMacs are mini-VGA, which means they only support VGA displays. That leaves out flat-panel LCD displays that don't have a VGA port (including all of Apple's LCD displays), and it excludes any of Apple's displays that use the proprietary ADC connector.

The United Kingdom May Be A Christian Country, But The United States Is Not
I'm guessing you've seen it already, but if not, the video above has been making the rounds on Facebook this week.
It's an Easter message from British Prime Minister David Cameron in which he says some great stuff about the many wonderful things Christians in the UK are doing, while also calling for prayer for persecuted Christians around the world.
But what has gained the attention of Christians in the United States is this statement by Cameron at the :48 mark, "We should be proud to say that this is a Christian country."
It's red meat gold for American Christians convinced the United States is a Christian nation that's lost its way under the leadership of our "secret Muslim" President.
But my fellow Americans, before you get too upset at the fact that Obama didn't release a similar message declaring the United States a Christian country, please allow me to remind you of a few key details that are easy to forget while listening to Cameron's eloquent and heart warming words.
Unlike the United States, England has an official state church: the Church of England. (In Scotland, another member of the UK, the official state church is the Church of Scotland.) As you might recall, the Church of England has been around since Henry VIII kicked Roman Catholicism out of the country when Pope Clement VII refused to grant him an annulment. Since 1534 the Church of England and thus Christianity (though obviously England was Christian when they were still Catholic) has been the official state religion. This is why Cameron can so boldly and truthfully state that the United Kingdom is a Christian country.
But let's not forget that Cameron is a politician. Which means while he may very well believe what he's saying, it's also quite possible highly likely that his message is not quite the noble declaration some folks in the United States assume it is. That doesn't mean he's not a Christian, but it's important to remember that like every politician – especially ones speaking on their party's official YouTube page – there's a pretty decent chance he's pandering to a particular audience just like conservative politicians do in the United States with evangelicals.
Moreover, his remarks about funding the repairs of cathedrals and passing laws protecting prayer are both misleading to an American audience and, at least in the case of the former, flat out illegal in the United States. As we all know from history class, the First Amendment precludes the federal government from funding churches in the United States. But what's easy to miss is what Cameron isn't mentioning. Those cathedrals that the government is so graciously repairing are, by and large, tourist destinations that generate important tax revenue for the state. Think Westminster Abbey. It definitely needs to be preserved and there are still services that take place there, but it's primarily a tourist destination. Which means the government is benefiting from repair work on cathedrals. The funding is not really a statement of faith.
Cameron's words could also be misleading for those who have never visited the UK and/or are unaware of the fact that though officially Christian, in reality it is incredibly secular and the Christians he's referring to who are actually doing wonderful things are sadly few and far between. While the United States – an officially secular country – sees about 40% of its citizens in church each week, in the United Kingdom – an officially Christian country – that figure dips to about 10%.
[Insert cliché here about being careful what you wish for.]
But the single most important thing my fellow American Christians seem to forget in their zeal to post this video as quickly and often is possible is that we literally fought a war to not be like England.
Sure, it was a war sparked by taxes and ditching the king was definitely at the top of the agenda, but so was abandoning the establishment of religion. Yes, many of our founding fathers went to church and, yes, Christianity has been the dominant religion in our country since before we were even a country, but our founding document – the Constitution – makes it clear that, unlike England,not only we do not have an official religion or church, but the fact we were making up our rules from scratch and could have easily made Christianity the official religion of the United States by establishing a Church of America to rival the Church of England but chose not to clearly and definitively declares that we are not and have never had any desire to be an officially Christian nation.
So, despite chicken little reports of the death of Christianity in America, at least when we compare church involvement in our officially secular nation to the number of folks actually involved in church across the pond in an officially Christian nation, it seems like our founding fathers may have done us a favor by refusing to declare an official state religion.
But that's a debate for another day.
What matters today is remembering the message we send to our non-Christian neighbors when we get rilled up about stuff like this and declare that America is a Christian nation or complain about Obama not releasing a message like David Cameron. And that message is clear: real Americans are Christians and if you're not a Christian, you're not welcome in America.
I know that may not be the conscious intention of everyone posting this video to Facebook, but intention does nothing to change the message our non-Christian neighbors are hearing, particularly in our current religious climate.
Because when the face of Christian activity in government today centers around trying to pass laws sanctioning religiously motivated discrimination, the message our non-Christian neighbors hear when we try to rally the "take back our country" troops by zealously posting Cameron's Easter message has nothing to do with the grace and mercy towards the needy he so eloquently describes.
The message our non-Christian neighbors hear is: "if you're not a Christian, you're not welcome here."

Harlista: The coming of age of the Hispanic Harley rider
Aug 12, 2013, 11:56 AM
inCulture, zNew Headline
By Al Carlos Hernandez
Herald de Paris
LOS ANGELES – My affair with Harley-Davidson motorcycles began when I was ten years old. My mom's cousin's boyfriend used to come visit and he rode a converted hawthorn green, chopped police bike. He would ride up the sidewalk, park the bike, and it took my breath away. That year I bought tall, ape-hanger handlebars for my bicycle . . . and so it began.
During my Brown Beret days I used to borrow my friend's "Then Came Bronson" blue Sportster, rode my baby brother's radical Springer rig, then 25 years later went to work at a Honda/Yamaha motorcycle shop. During that time, I had a 1951 pan head and my last one there was a small 883 that I won in a bet.
When I started riding way back in the day there were very few Latino/Hispanic motorcyclists. Coincidentally, our cousin's boyfriend turned out to be Fat Freddie – one of the founding fathers of a famous motorcycle club from Oakland, California.
As a University Professor I have been accused of riding my hog to school. This is not true. I ceremoniously ride the bike only to turn in the grades.
For the fifth straight year, Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson Inc. was the number one seller of new street motorcycles (all engine sizes) in the United States. This includes all bikes sold to young adults ages 18-34, women, African-Americans, Hispanics, as well as Caucasian men ages 35+.
The newly available data from Polk shows that Harley-Davidson experienced a double-digit market share gain from 2008 to 2012 in the U.S. with these customer groups. Harley-Davidson chief marketing officer Mark-Hans Richer attributes the company's success to its unique purpose.
"We don't just build motorcycles. We fuel personal freedom," Richer said, "The desire for individual expression draws customers from all walks of life because it's a universal, human value that transcends cultures, generations and history. It's more than an adage that almost no two Harley-Davidson motorcycles are alike," Richer said. "The same is true for our customers. Members of our community come from all different cultures, backgrounds, and generations and their shared attitude about life is the tie that binds."
Several years ago, I was made aware of a documentary film entitled Harlistas: An American Journey that was shot by a good friend of mine, Claudio Rocha. I finally found my lost tribe. I just recently decided to talk to Harley to ask about them embracing the Hispanic/Latino enthusiast.
I found out that Roger Garcia is currently the Director of Market Outreach for the Hispanic segment; he is responsible for creating, maintaining, and supporting an integrated strategy that significantly improves Harley-Davidson's reach and relevance within the Hispanic consumer segment. Garcia is leading the consumer team to develop and launch an integrated marketing plan for the Hispanic segment.
Once he finished graduate school, Garcia started his marketing career at Colgate-Palmolive in NYC in the Global Marketing Development program. He began working in sales, then global brand marketing for Oral Care. As an assistant brand manager in Home Care Marketing, he was responsible for introducing SuavitelFabric Conditioner to Latinas in the U.S.
Later Garcia spent five years marketing brands like Keystone Light, Extra Gold, and Coors Banquet to the general market. As of 2009 he led the marketing efforts of the Coors family of brands targeting the Latino consumer. His job was developing integrated, 360° campaigns supporting innovations and sports alliances with Coors Light equity to drive accelerated business growth.
Herald de Paris would like to thank Amanda Lee and Mike Roach for making arrangements for our Deputy Managing Editor Dr. Al Carlos Hernandez to dialogue (not ride with. . . yet) Harley-Davidson's Roger Garcia.
Dr. AC: How did you hook up with Harley-Davidson? Riders like myself would consider that the dream job of a lifetime! What has been your history with motorcycles in general?
RG: In 2011, I was called by a recruiter with the opportunity to join Harley-Davidson as a Director of Outreach Marketing. I had started riding motorcycles in the summer of 2006 when I moved to Colorado, so I was already an enthusiast before I got the call from Harley. Given the chance to work for one of the most iconic global brands was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I pursued the position until I was hired in June 2011.
Dr.AC: What is a Harlista? How many Harlistas and potential Harlistas are there in the USA?
RG: Harlista is term that signifies community and bond among Latino riders that started over 50 years ago. Latinos across countries like Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Colombia, etc. have been calling themselves Harlistas for a very long time. We estimate there are close to two million Latinos who have expressed an interest in one day owning a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. This comes from internal research that we have done in the U.S.
Dr. AC: Tell us about the documentary. I know the cinematographer Claudio Roacha very well and this documentary was stunningly visual.
RG: The documentary film Harlstas: An American Journey was a project that Alfredo de Villa helped to develop. It follows the journeys of Latino Harley motorcycle riders as they seek adventure, camaraderie and the achievement of the American Dream. It was developed with real Harlistas who were cast from various parts of the U.S. with the help of our Harley-Davidson dealer network.
The film follows the journeys of four groups of Harlistas:
Danny – A Harley-Davidson technician from Baldwin Park, California, Danny attempts to reconnect with his deceased father by recreating a ride they shared together before his passing.
The Rod Brothers – The four Rodriquez brothers from Queens, NY (Pat, Jay, Ernie and Vito) ride to honor their father, who gave up his own motorcycling dreams for the American Dream, as well as their only sister, who was killed during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Shorty and Junior – Carlos "Shorty" Tenorio, who lived through the Nicaraguan Revolution before immigrating to Chicago as a 15-year old, strengthens his bond with his son, Junior, during a road trip to the Oregon Coast.
Lonnie and Jerry – Lonnie Gallegos, a motorcycle shop owner in Los Angeles, connects with his step-son, Jerry Ramirez, through their motorcycle adventures.
Dr. AC: The center of the film was about motorcycles and familial relationships, especially father to son. Tell us about the theme and how the film has been received over the years.
RG: Harlistas: An American Journey was the first-of-its-kind documentary and screened across well-recognized film festivals from L.A. to NYC. The documentary received many accolades, not only from Hispanic/Latino Harley owners, but also from
non-owners and non-Hispanic riders. It is based on human truth and the bonds that Hispanics hold to be true, like family, brotherhood, and hermanidad. It is now available on our website for anyone to view in its full-length version. Our dealers also have used the documentary to hold movie nights with their local Hispanic communities at their dealerships.
Dr. AC: Pictured in the film are some scary looking guys. How do you deal with the negative imagery of ethnic Harley riders?
RG: We focus on the positive aspects of the rider and their life experiences. We show the bond of father and son, and brothers, which are important aspects of the Latino community. Bonding and family are also an important part of the Harley-Davidson riding community.
Dr. AC: What type of Latino are you concentrating your marketing efforts: young, middle aged, product loyal?
RG: We seek to attract all Hispanics ages 18 and older. But we know most of our customers will buy a Harley-Davidson once they are more established with their personal life and have the disposable income and time to fulfill their desire for personal freedom.
Dr. AC: Who is the typical Latino Harley rider? Are they culturally product loyal or do they come to H-D off of Japanese bikes?
RG: Most of our owners are repeat customers who are loyal to the brand and appreciate all aspects of owning a Harley-Davidson. They especially know that a Harley is pallet for self-expression through customization and personalization.
There are no "typical" riders, just as there are no "stereotypes" as to who is a rider. We have blue collar workers, white collar professionals, and all types in between. We have young riders who are or were inspired by their fathers, uncles, and grandfathers who ride or rode Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
Some riders tell us they recall seeing or hearing their first Harley back in Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Colombia, etc. and were inspired by what Harley-Davidson symbolizes — Freedom.
Dr. AC: How did those Chopper-build-competitions help sales in the Hispanic community? Isn't the Chopper thing a passing phase? When the economy collapsed there were tons of Harley customs on Craigslist.
RG: Harley-Davidson has been inspiring bike builders since back in the early years of custom choppers and we, in turn, have been inspired by what some of the legendary Latino bike builders have done. For example, we recently launched Seventy-Two which is a Sportster that harkens back to the early 70's with mini-ape handlebars and big flake paint.
The name "Seventy-Two" was not only a physical inspiration but a design connection – that bike was born from the East L.A. Latino low-rider culture. Whittier Boulevard, aka route 72, was the birthplace of the low-rider culture and the Seventy-Two has elements of this infused into its styling – specifically the Hard Candy Custom paint which is bold and stylish.
This is one reason we chose the name Seventy-Two.
Dr. AC: There are Harley riding clubs in almost every county in the country. Are they inclusive of Latino riders or have Latino riders started their own clubs?
RG: The Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) is our global riding community and is supported by our dealer network. H.O.G. represents all types of owners including Latinos, their spouses, and families. Harley-Davidson also supports one of the largest Latino motorcycle clubs in the U.S., the Latin American Motorcycle Association (LAMA).
Across the U.S. there are many additional smaller riding groups and we encourage riders to reach out to their local Harley-Davidson dealers to connect with other riders in their areas.
Dr. AC: Harley pretty much allows you to customize your bike upon purchase. There are all types of styles – is a Harley more of a recreational fashion accoutrement or just everyday transportation?
RG: 97% of all Harley-Davidson motorcycles are customized in some way to reflect the owner's personal style and self-expression. How they view their motorcycle is personal, which is reflected in our motorcycles being the most customized in the world.
Dr. AC: Why should a Latino of any age buy a Harley and embrace that lifestyle?
RG: Harley-Davidson is more than a motorcycle – for many Latinos in the U.S., Harley-Davidson represents the achievement of the American Dream, which includes many personal and emotional achievements as well. You can read some of the many stories that Latino riders have submitted on www.harley-davidson.com/harlistas.
What is amazing about Harley-Davidson is that it brings people together from all walks of life, and truly unites all those who seek to fulfill their dreams of personal freedom.
From Central to South America, the Caribbean and North America, Harlistas share a rich and proud history.
Dr. AC: How can people find out more about Harlistas?
RG: We encourage anyone who wants to learn more about Harlistas to visit www.harley-davidson.com/harlistas. This is our online community within the Harley-Davidson website that gives current owners and new owners the space to share their passion for riding and to tell their story of how they have fulfilled their dream of personal freedom through Harley-Davidson.
This story is dedicated to John"Lindy" Hernandez and Ricardo Huerta, true to the game OG Harlistas.

Las Chicanas: "Their stories are important and need to be preserved"
Iowa School District Struggles With Teacher Diversity


What power is there in a word? The Bible says that it was a word that began the creation process. It was a word that set the stars in place. It was a word that drew a line in the sand that the ocean couldn't cross. It was a word that gave us day and night. It was a word that put life into humanity. Everything begins with a word. This year, LCB is going to spend a year looking at one word. No, we are not going to look at the same word. We are each going to pick one word and allow that one word to shape our life.
I want you to spend some time thinking about who you want to be. What kind of person do you want to become? Do you want to have the faith of Abraham? The patience of Job? The courage of Daniel? The Grace of Esther? The Surrender of Mary? The Joy of Paul? The bible is full of people of characters and most of their character traits can be summed up in a single word. That character trait is one word that we should want to exhibit in our own life.
Let me help you begin. You may want to pick a character and read about that person. Then pick a scripture that sums up how you feel. Then pick just one word that becomes your focus for this next year. Or maybe you already know the word and you need to find a person and a passage that fits. This week we are going to begin looking at words like, "pause, yield, move, health, courage, balance" and the list goes on, and pick one word that can change everything. Join us this Sunday as we begin a new journey for 2017 to being people of character.

Is this something to be worried about ?
This bug report suggests such warnings may appear and are harmless, but those should have been fixed already AFAIU.
More details on my install, in case it would be relevant :
I use 2 hard drives. On each drive is a single whole-drive partition used for the RAID. I create one RAID1 with both partitions. I create a LVM on the RAID and create 3 logical volumes in the LVM for swap, / and /home.
During installation, I only wrote the MBR on one drive, either by mistake or because the installer wouldn't allow me to write it on both. I want to be able to boot with only one drive, so I need the MBR written on both drives.

A: The warning messages about the file descriptor leaking are indeed harmless, and are being tracked in bug 592834. You might want to contribute your findings there; I'm not sure Colin (the maintainer) has been able to reproduce the bug in this instance...

Q: creating class instance counter and updating it below is python code which counts the number of times the Employee class was created and saves this value as self.id
why do we use Employee.new_id instead of self.new_id or just simply new_id when assigning or updating a class variable

class Employee:
  new_id = 1

  def __init__(self):
    self.id = Employee.new_id
    Employee.new_id += 1

I tried changing the first line to self.new_id and it works well, but if I update the second line to that too it keeps the counter at 1

A: The name new_id is not understood within the context of __init__() so to give in context we need the class name as well as it is a class member.
The instance member self.id is specific to each instance of Employee() and gets assigned the "current" value of the class variable which is then incremented.
so this:
class Employee:
  new_id = 1

  def __init__(self):
    self.id = Employee.new_id
    Employee.new_id += 1

e1 = Employee()
print(f"Emp #1 ID: {e1.id} Next ID: {Employee.new_id}")

e2 = Employee()
print(f"Emp #1 ID: {e1.id} Emp #2 ID: {e2.id} Next ID: {Employee.new_id}")

Give us:
Emp #1 ID: 1 Next ID: 2
Emp #1 ID: 1 Emp #2 ID: 2 Next ID: 3

The class member Employee.new_id conceptually storing the "next" instance's value for id.

8) The opposition to the doctrine of St. Thomas on the soul, the spiritual reality held captive in the body and not considered as the form of the human body.
the soul is capable of existing apart from the living body after the death of the body. This might suggest that he is a kind of Substance Dualist, the soul being one substance and the body another, with the soul "interacting" as it were with the other substance, the body. However this picture fails to recognize the Aristotelian terms of the account that Aquinas provides of soul and body (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).
…since the soul does not exist without body and does not exist in the body, it may pass from body to body even as matter may pass from mass to mass (The Pope and the Heretic, by Michael White).
Bruno believed that the entire cosmos is one living organism and one substance.

Bad texting habits are considered a veritable communication problem in a relationship. If you text too often, it can cause annoyance. If you text less, you could be called indifferent by your SO. Experts say that if a couple is not careful about their texting habits, it can even lead to a split. Needless to say, bad texting habits pose miscommunication and misunderstanding threats. There are even studies that have looked into texting issues. A few years ago, researchers at Brigham Young University in the US studied 276 young adults across America and showed in their paper that technology can create some serious disruptions in committed relationships. In their report, published in the Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy, the researchers showed that for women, text messages, where they are apologising or pleading for resolution of differences, are associated with lower relationship quality. On the other hand, for men, texting too frequently can demonstrate a lower relationship quality. So, beware when you let your thumbs do the talking.
Add to that too many question marks as well as too many emojis. Believe it or not, too much drama with texting can put your partner off. Experts say that it can be read as immaturity as well. So curb your enthusiasm and your tendency to overdramatise your texts - don't put an exclamation mark or an emoji after every sentence.
There can be several intepretations to this. No matter how affectionate your messages are, bombarding your bae with texts every 15 minutes can cause annoyance and distraction. It can also show insecurity. On top of everything, it can prove that you are a text addict.
Or if you take an inordinate amount of time to reply to your bae's texts, this can spell trouble as well. To begin with, your delayed response to urgent messages can be interpreted as passive aggression. Being ignored can make your bae feel unloved. So, beware!
If there are issues in your relationship, efforts should be made to discuss them openly, one on one. Do not text angry messages or a barrage of accusations. Whatever the issue is, do not rely solely on the impersonal, distant communication method. Talk to each other.
These could just kill your relationship. For instance, your bae had forgotten your mother's birthday. And you are loath to forgive him. What do you do? You constantly message him that this forgetfulness shows that he doesn't care about his family. If you continue to nag, there could be ugly scenes.

HomeBike NewsNew Royal Enfield Bullet For Free - If You Finish This Plate...
New Royal Enfield Bullet For Free – If You Finish This Plate At A Pune Restaurant
Pearl Daniels
Offer – Royal Enfield Bullet For Free
The 'Bullet Thali' is so named as the one who finishes it wins a Royal Enfield Bullet bike worth Rs.1.65 lakhs
Bike lovers and foodies are all making a beeline to Hotel Shivraj, located in Vadgaon Maval, Old Mumbai-Pune Highway, Pune. The restaurant has put up huge banners and lined up 5 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 bikes on the verandah each to be given off free to the person who can go through an entire thali, aptly named "Bullet Thali".
The hotel owner, Atul Waikar, being a foodie and avid biker has put up this notice outside the hotel calling in biking aficionados to take part in this thali challenge. 5 brand new Bullet bikes, worth Rs.1.65-1.70 lakhs are also lined up outside the eatery ready to be presented to the person who can go through the Bullet Thali.
The only catch line is, that to be declared a winner, the person has to go through a complete non-vegetarian 'Bullet Thali' consisting of 12 dishes made with 4 kilograms of mutton and fish in 60 minutes flat. As per the owner, about 65 thalis are sold every single day.
Each thali which is priced at Rs.2,500 consists of 16 starters and a host of main dishes, comprising of surmai fry, pomfret fish fry, prawn biryani, sol kadi, chicken sukka, dry mutton, mutton masala and more.
Bullet Thali is so big in size, that it needs 2 servers for serving to the table.
Many have come and tried to finish this thali but have failed. Mumbai Assistant Commissioner of Police, Ashok Jadhav stated that he is going to try to finish this thali in the hope of winning a Bullet bike. A Pune medico, Dr. Reeana F. Irani, a foodie-cum-bike lover, has also said that she would be attempting this challenge.
1 Winner Rides Away with Free Bullet 350
Even as many have attempted this challenge and failed, one person from Sholapur has been successful in stripping the Bullet Thali clean. Last week, Somnath Pawar of Sholapur entered the restaurant and ordered the Bullet Thali.
He was the cynosure of all customers as he polished off the thali in 1 hour and was handed over the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 as his prize. However, there are four more bikes to be won.
This is not the first time that Waikar has come with such an innovative challenge. He started this eatery 8 years ago and currently offers the Bakasur Chicken Thali, Sarkar Mutton Thali and Pahelwan Mutton Thali and Malvani Fish Thali, each costing Rs.2,500. The Special Ravan Thali was a part of a challenge last year wherein the winner stood to take home Rs.5,000 on competing the thali and the bill also waived off.


During the time I stopped eating dairy the thing I missed most was cheese. Those of you who follow my blog know how much I love cheese and how often I cook with it. I tried several different dairy-free style cheeses and by far the best one I found was Daiya. It melts better than some of the other brands that I tried and quite honestly it's the only one that tasted close to the real deal.
When the folks at Daiya sent me some coupons to use toward developing a recipe I knew immediately I wanted to try my hand at an appetizer. For me, this was when I found giving up dairy was the hardest. I love a good cheese plate in addition to cheese spreads or dips to munch on before dinner or to serve to family and friends whenever there is a gathering. For one wishing to avoid dairy my appetizer options became very slim.
I was beyond impressed with the way this creamy spinach and almond spread turned out. I had several different taste testers and it was a hit with every single one of them. When I let them in on my little secret of using dairy-free cheese they were all impressed with how "cheesy" it was. I added the spinach to give it a nutritional boost and the almonds add a nice crunch to compliment the creaminess of the dip. Even if you aren't avoiding dairy in your diet I highly recommend giving this appetizer a try. Not only is it quick and easy but it's a healthier alternative to some of the other creamy spreads out there.
Mix all ingredients, except for the almonds in an ovenproof dish.

You had a ton of pictures and and not as much video.
Your poem focused on the physical aspect and I felt like I was there, gripping the bar and jumping to the high bar.
I like the visuals you used.
There could be more video clips.
I like the transitions you used.
Your voice overs were recited very clearly.
Get more videos, you had a lot of pictures.
One thing I liked was how disruptive you were.
One thing was that the picture was kind of blurry in some pictures.
I liked that picture of you and your coach.
Your B-Roll was very good; it made me want more.
The voiceovers could have been a smidge faster.
You could have focused some of the shots.
I loved your pictures and awesome video.
