–Did you hear stories from your grandparents about the Roaring Twenties? Prohibition? Women's rights? How did they correspond to the circumstances in Murder in Disguise?
–What parallels do you find between Prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s and today's prohibiting of recreational drugs? Do you think the government should prohibit or regulate alcohol, recreational drugs, medicine, cigarettes, or other items?
–Some historians believe the women's movement made its greatest advances in the 1920s. What evidence for this did you find in Murder in Disguise? What examples of limitations on women did you notice in the story? What could Jessie do or not do back then that we take for granted today?
–Vaudeville began in the 1870s and reached its height in the 1920s when this story takes place. It declined in the 1930s and was gone by the 1940s. Why did this popular form of family entertainment disappear?
–The Roaring Twenties was a virulently racist era, the height of the Ku Klux Klan in both northern and southern states, and a time when anti-black, anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, anti-Asian, and anti-gay sentiments were universal. What makes Jessie more open-minded than the typical American?
–What special difficulties does Jessie face when it comes to discovering who killed the projectionist? The other murders? If the investigation happened today, what differences would we find in the story?
–Could the story have happened like this today? How would it have changed if we moved the date to the present?

Filming silent movies is noisy work—directors shouting instructions through megaphones, cameras grinding away like machine guns, studio musicians playing the mood from the corner—which is why I was perplexed when I walked onto the set of Little Annie Rooney that morning and found it frozen in silence. Actors, electricians, makeup artists, grips, carpenters, script girls, and cameramen stood motionless, as if drawing a deep breath would shatter a spell. Only one person gave life to the scene, and all eyes were on her. Mary Pickford, "America's Sweetheart" and the star of the film, was slowly pacing the edge of the set, her head down in fearsome concentration.
I looked to Director William Beaudine who motioned for me to stay where I was. He waited until Miss Pickford faced away from him before gliding to my side, so his movement wouldn't distract her.
The scene lurched to life. "Hit 'em once!" shouted Beaudine and the set was instantly flooded with silvery light from an array of Kleigs, baby spots, and barrel lights. "Camera!" Cameramen cranked up their Mitchells, and the four studio musicians in the corner began playing a gloomy number to set the mood. They were shooting the tearjerker part, where Little Annie learns her policeman father has been killed in the line of duty.
As I watched, thirty-three-year-old Mary Pickford, playing a twelve-year-old girl, scampered out from her hiding place under the table, ready to surprise her beloved father with his birthday cake, only to find herself face to face with a policeman sent to deliver the tragic news. Her expression started at mischievous and slid rapidly past puzzlement, confusion, disbelief, denial, futile hope, and horror, only to end with heart-rending tears. It was an astonishing display of acting skill. In all my years in vaudeville, I had never seen the equal. No wonder she was the most famous actress in the world! I hoped everyone in the audience would have hankies in hand—I was misty-eyed myself. The scene reminded me all too forcefully of having been orphaned myself at the same age.
A solemn Mary Pickford came over to exchange a few words with Beaudine. Catching sight of me, she gestured to one of the simple wooden chairs on the set, meaning that she would be with me shortly.
I sat down and swung my legs. The seat of the chair was high, maybe three inches higher than normal. I'm small—just over five feet, the same height as Miss Pickford—but I can't usually swing my legs in a chair. I studied the wooden kitchen table. It was made to the same scale, a little higher than typical.
There was nothing I could say. The scene had looked great to me, but what did I know? I was just a lowly assistant script girl new to Hollywood, having been hired by Mary's husband, Douglas Fairbanks, a few months earlier.
One of the cameramen turned at the sound of his name and nodded that he had heard. Pulling a reel of film off the Mitchell, he methodically packed it in a soft case before joining us in the middle of the set.
"Have you met Jessie Beckett?" asked Miss Pickford.
A wiry, middle-aged man who would have passed unnoticed in a crowd, Handler looked like he'd done a week's worth of work in the past few hours. His forehead was creased with worry, his eyes heavy with dark circles. The compliment from Mary Pickford brought the merest twist to his lips. He sank onto the hard chair like a marionette with slackened strings.
"You used to play kiddie roles, didn't you?" he asked, more to be polite than from any real interest.
Miss Pickford had mentioned once before that she might want to use me as a double. We were the same size and build, and while my auburn hair was bobbed and her ringlets were long and golden, there were wigs in Costume that would solve that in a jiffy. From the back, we would be indistinguishable. Imagine, me, Jessie Beckett, a stand-in for the incomparable Mary Pickford! Last year's vaudeville wash-up, when I was turned down at every try-out, had squelched any ambition I might have had about acting in the pictures—I simply didn't have that sort of talent—but the prospect of this small connection to the woman I idolized thrilled me. My heart beat faster.
"No, no, sit. That wasn't the only reason I called for you. What I really want is for you to hear Rob's story. If you don't mind, Rob, dear, please tell her what you told me yesterday," she said.
Handler glanced back and forth between us, and I thought for a moment he was going to say he was too tired to speak. Instead he sighed and leaned forward, rested his elbows on his knees, and started to talk in a monotone that brooked no interruption.
"Well, it's like this. I was called to jury duty for the Ruby Glynn trial," he began, staring down at his clasped hands. Of course I knew about the Ruby Glynn case. Everyone did. It had been in all the papers. In fact, I was even grateful to Ruby Glynn for making me old news when her own sensational trial had pushed me and the Hollywood gangster murders off the front page. But I hadn't realized that someone in our own Pickford-Fairbanks Studios had been on the Glynn jury.
That didn't surprise me, not after my experiences with the yellow press during those murders last month. Pulitzer and Hearst had fought their customary inky battle for readers, printing speculation as fact, inventing outrageous stories, and slandering innocent people with no concern for the consequences. Any lie was printable as long as it boosted sales. I'd never again believe a word I read in the newspapers.
Miss Pickford started to say something, but Rob didn't notice; his eyes were glued to the floor as if he could only keep going if he didn't raise them. Running his fingers through thinning hair, he continued.
He paused to wipe his eyes and rub his nose with the back of his hand. Miss Pickford waited, respectfully silent, until he could gather himself.
Finally he looked up and his sorrowful brown eyes found mine. "I haven't been able to sleep since. Or if I do fall off for a minute, the nightmares start." He leaned back, a lost soul facing a pain-filled eternity.
For a long while, no one spoke. At last Miss Pickford broke the silence.
I looked at the cameraman. Not a flicker of hope crossed his face. Or maybe he had sunk too far into his own private hell to hear. I looked at Mary Pickford. For the past ten years, she had been my idol. Studying her in moving pictures had taught me how to play young roles, my bread and butter for most of my adult life. She was "our Mary," "the girl with the curls," the most popular person in America, the founder of one of the most important film studios in Hollywood, and, some said, the most recognized face in the whole world. We had much in common—a childhood sacrificed to the stage, growing up in rundown boarding houses, sleeping on trains to save the dollar for the hotel, living on cheese sandwiches and pickles or whatever a friendly grownup would buy you without asking for a return on his investment. I had loved Mary Pickford long before I had the amazing good fortune to meet her. I hesitated not a second.
"How awful," I managed to say.
A brutal attack along the banks of the Seine in 1928 leaves a young Englishwoman close to death in a Paris hospital, without a memory in her head. She soon comes up against a vengeful husband who accuses her of the theft of priceless art, the French gendarmes who have linked her to a murder on the Riviera, and a scorned lover who is trying to kill her. The husband, believing his wife's amnesia is faked, spirits her away to an ancient chateau in the French province of Champagne, where prehistoric dolmens and standing stones dot the fields and caves hewn out of limestone are used for more than storing wine. But who is trying to poison her and bury her in an avalanche of slate? Who is laying a trap for her deep within the wine caves of Champagne?

In the second Roaring Twenties murder mystery, Jessie trades her nomadic vaudeville life for a modest but steady job in the silent film industry. She quickly learns that all Hollywood scorns the Prohibition laws: studio bosses rule the police and gangsters supply speakeasies everywhere with bootleg hooch and Mexican dope. When a powerful director is murdered at his own party and Jessie's waitress friend is killed for what she saw, Jessie takes the lead in an investigation tainted by corrupt cops. Soon tangled in a web of drugs, bribery, and greed, she finds herself a prime suspect as the bodies pile up.
A struggling young vaudeville performer who is persuaded to impersonate a missing heiress gets caught up in a scam that thrusts her deep into the Roaring Twenties' world of gangsters, bootleggers, and murder.

Fauzi Mohammed: Meet the Ghanaian prodigy making a name for himself in Sweden
Bashiru Awudu
. 9 August , 2022
Blessed with a blistering pace, Fauzi Mohammed has emerged as one of the stand out players in the Swedish Division II Nora Norland.
The Ghanaian International plays as an attacker for Kiruna FF.
Following a brief stint at Linkoping City, the 23-year old joined the fourth tier side mid-way through the season.
His ability to play multiple positions upfront has made him a regular feature for the side and a fans favorite.
Head Coach Hass Stridsman has mostly deployed him as the link between the midfield and the attack in a system that has seen him thrive in the early stages of his career at Kiruna FF.
Fauzi has a 5 goal contribution in the six games he has featured for the club so far.
The attacker has scored three goals and provided two assists to keep them in the hunt for qualifying into the 3rd tier of Swedish football.
The club is currently sat 7th on the table following a poor run of form that has seen them win just one of their last five matches.
They can however close the gap to two points on sixth place IFK Ostersund when the two sides meet in the next round of fixtures in the league.

November was Chicago's third-deadliest month in 2016, police say
By John Garcia and Laura Podesta
Chicago's third deadliest month in 2016
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Newly released Chicago crime numbers show November was the third-deadliest month in 2016. That's during a year where the number of murders reached its highest level in almost 20 years.
The last time Chicago crossed the threshold of more than 700 murders in one year was in 1998. The city is on pace to break that record this year.
Police said there were 77 murders in November, bringing the grand total in 2016 to 682. The total number of shootings in 2016 is now 3,319 and the total number of shooting victims is 4,022.
November saw more murders than any other month this year than August and October.
The numbers are daunting and so overwhelming that in some cases, the victims are almost forgotten.
It was the night before Thanksgiving and Moises Gonzalez ran into some friends from high school outside a restaurant. That's when a man in a black hoodie walked up and opened fire and killed the 25-year-old Gonzalez and injured his friend.
"He was our rock, our everything," Yahtzeni Gonzalez, the victim's sister said.
Police have little information about the gunman. It's unclear who he may have been targeting. Gonzalez worked as manager at an oil change shop. He volunteered spent weeks at a time for several years rebuilding homes in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
His is just one of the latest in a slew of homicides police have been confronted with trying to solve so far this year.
The police superintendent said many of the shootings involve known criminals with long records and easy access to guns.
Activist Andrew Holmes regularly visits the relatives of many of them shortly after they killed.
"Its tough to look into the eyes of the mother of a child that's just been killed," he said.
Community programs like the "Kids Korna" are working to provide alternatives to violence for young people, but it's an uphill battle.
"The Kids Korna is a television show that has been in existence for a number of years and they do a lot of positive interaction and a lot of positive outreach to young people," Cmdr. Ron Holt said.
Yahtzeni Gonzalez says her brother loved Batman and his family. He wasn't just another statistic.
"It doesn't hit you. You see the numbers, you see balloons on the corner and you're like, 'Wow, another person got shot,' and it doesn't hit you until you're that person with someone special," Yahtzeni said.
Yahtzeni said her brother had no enemies that she knew of. Police are still looking for information about his killer as well as the killers of many of the other 700 homicide victims in Chicago in year.
Someone has been shot every day in Chicago since Feb. 28, 2015. But according to a recent USA Today article, Chicago does not make the top ten when it comes to deadliest cities.
"It's not the deadliest city in the country per capita. Our violent crime is in the middle of the pack. But we're not going to argue that," Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said. "These numbers are unacceptable. There's a small subsection of individuals in this city that are driving this violence. So again, I just have to say, the police are doing their job. We've recovered over 7,600 illegal handguns. The police are out there engaging."
Thursday also marks another pivot in Chicago history. One year ago, former CPD Supt. Garry McCarthy was fired. Johnson took over in March.
Johnson joined ABC7 News This Morning to speak on high crime numbers, deadly police shootings and how the public responded to the CPD's use of force policy.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Jonshon joined ABC7 news This Morning to talk about the city's latest crime numbers.
There is concern that social media is making the problem worse.
Marvin Slater, a former gang member, has lived in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood for the last 40 years. He told ABC7 Eyewitness News he has never seen crime in Chicago like what he has seen this year.
Slater said he thinks a major cause of the growing number of shootings and murders is Facebook.
"It's a part of the problem! Where all the conversation, beef is coming from: Facebook," Slater said.
Johnson agrees. He told ABC7 Thursday that the CPD is monitoring social media sites, trying to prevent crimes before they occur.
"A lot of our violence is predicated by gang members taunting each other on social media. That's huge. That's the way this generation communicates," Johnson said.
Slater said he has seen instances where discussions on Facebook turned into arguments that turned into shootings.
Slater said he will never leave Englewood. But he's making a difference on the streets as a member of the African American Contractors Association.
"We go around different neighborhoods and convince the gangbangers to put down a gun and pick up a jackhammer," Slater said.
Slater hopes a combination of job creation, more extracurricular programs and getting kids off of social media sites will help curb crime in Chicago.

Q: Multi-mode Jaynes-Cummings Model The Jaynes Cummings Model describes that a qubit coupled to a harmonics oscillator. The Hamiltonian of this model can be written as
$$H_1=\omega_c a^{\dagger}a+\omega_a\sigma_z+\Omega(a^{\dagger}\sigma_{-}+a\sigma_{+}).$$
This Hamiltonian is exactly solvable, as can be found in the Wikipedia. My question is whether this model, when extended to multi-harmonic oscillator case, is exactly solvable?
i.e. whether the following Hamiltonian is exactly solvable?
$$H_2=\omega_{c1} a^{\dagger}a+\omega_{c2} b^{\dagger}b+\omega_a\sigma_z+\Omega_1(a^{\dagger}\sigma_{-}+a\sigma_{+})+\Omega_2(b^{\dagger}\sigma_{-}+b\sigma_{+}).$$

A: I will give some hints on how the single mode case is solved, such that the solution of the multi-mode case can be found analogously.
The central realization for solving the single mode version is to note that the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian is excitation number conserving. This means that states of a given excitation number only couple to states of the same excitation number.
This allows us to design an ansatz for the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. For a given excitation number $n$, there are exactly two states that couple: $|n\rangle|g\rangle$ and $|n-1\rangle|e\rangle$. Using these states as a basis, finding the eigenstates then turns into the problem of finding the eigenvectors and -values of a 2x2 coupling matrix.
For the multi-mode case, we can straightforwardly apply this scheme. Only now, there are more states...
If we have $n$ excitations, there can either be $n$ or $n-1$ excitations in the bosonics sectors (the atom has maximum 1 excitation). However, there are $\sum_{l=0}^{n} l=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ ways to distribute $n$ excitations over 2 bosonic modes. Even the number of states of the resulting eigenvalue problem is therefore dependent on the excitation number and the coupling matrix has size $n(n+1)$.
As a result, this problem $-$ unlike the JC model $-$ is likely only solvable analytically for a restricted number of excitations.

A: people linked that kind of systems to the so-called para-particles (https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.00654), and even made a nice experimental demonstration using trapped ions (https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.05471)

LET'S go back to the year 2000. My formative high-school years.
Think velcro satchels, one-too-many badges, frayed bootcut baggy jeans, family sized tubs of hairgel, Walkmans, Tony Blair, Live & Kicking, a cumbersome Nokia 3310 and a crumpled Smash Hits magazine.
Brit pop punk bands Busted and, later on, McFly were ruling the world.
The name of our next album would be 'Cock Broth'.
When Busted split in 2005 it was as poignant as Ginger walking out of the Spice Girls in 1998. A turbulent time.
Of course, it was McFly that continued flying the flag for buoyant pop-punk for the past ten years. 2014's news that McFly (Tom, Danny, Dougie and Harry) and Busted (Matt and James without Charlie) were to unite and form 'McBusted' has got some of us feeling all nostalgic.
It is the era of noughties band reforms, after all (911, Five, Atomic Kitten, etc. Now if only N*SYNC could merge with the Backstreet Boys...)
Not all have been this successful, mind. McBusted sold out 35 arena dates back in 2014, and now will be touring with their Most Excellent Adventure Tour this year.
I meet McBusted in the Manchester Arena before they perform in the city on 21 March. They all crash in with their answers like six unsteady toddlers on a mission to headbutt each other. It's chaotic and a little silly. As the last person to interview them they're restless and also hungry. So I winged it.
L'Oréal Blackett wings it
If we could sack this interview off and go eat right now - where would you go in Manchester?
Tom: That Italian place, Rosso, is really good.
James: [Shouts] Let's just go to Reds True BBQ, right now.
Matt: So the best place for a burger is either Solitas – or Reds True BBQ?
Danny: Solita is really dirty though. Are they the ones that put crisps on everything?
James: I have to say, Manchester is one my favourite places out of London.
Reds True BBQ, it is...
Guys, since you're now a supergroup, if you could fuse with another band to become a super-duper-group, which would you choose?
Dougie: The Beatles.
Harry: We'd be too starstruck with The Beatles - and they'd be so pissed if they had to play one of our songs.
James: [Sings a Busted, Beatles mash-up] Air Hostess (yeah, yeah, yeah) I like the way you dress (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Danny: I think it would be good to have some female energy in the band.
Maybe go for something different? Run DMC are fans of rock fusion...
James: You know what we need? A bit of toughness, a bit of street klout. We need a bit of Linkin Park. Or Limp Biskit. McBusKit
Tom: McBustedFighters – you know, the Foo Fighters?
"McBusKit"
If you could fuse with an animal - become a superhuman - which would you choose?
Matt: So not like Spiderman, but half human half animal - with animal parts?
Danny: Like Nicki Minaj? She has the bum of a spider.
Matt: No it's more like when you draw a cock. Like her backside looks like comedy balls.
H: She has a nice tush. I was surprised when I first saw her pictures.
H: You know what I would fuse Dougie with? I would keep his bottom half and the rest would just be a horse. Then we'd put a hat on top. A Centaur.
T: James head poking out of a tortoise. Or Giraffe's neck.
Dougie: (To Tom) Your limbs would be Daddy Long Legs, legs
Getting really silly
OK, let's get serious...
Has joining this group got you feeling all nostalgic about the early noughties?
M: At the beginning yes. I remember the first day rehearsing with you guys. Dougie was ill.
Dougie: I threw up and Matt gave me a t-shirt that I wear to bed. He gives me all these t-shirts I wear to bed - and all really offensive t-shirts. (Whispers to Matt)
M: Yeah, it said something about Satan.
M: But yeah, I felt nostalgic playing the songs I hadn't played for 10 years. I probably should have been practicing. It was good. We have had a bit of nostalgia but I think we've moved on from that.
Six people is a lot in one band. Have you suffered with any 'too many cooks in the kitchen' moments?
M: We tried to write as a six piece and it didn't work. We broke up into little groups and fucked around.
D: Too many cocks spoil the song.
D: It becomes a cock broth.
J: The name of our next album would be 'Cock Broth'.
L'Oréal Blackett meets McBusted to become McBustBlackett
Were you surprised with how well you've been received as 'McBusted'?
Danny: We didn't expect to do another tour, or another album and here we are.
J: It exceeded all our expectations. We did expect a few people would want to see it, as it's the two bands together and there's a lot of hits between us but it got to a level that we didn't think possible.
M: If we had sold out those eleven dates and that was it we would have been super happy. But it carried on.
J: A good idea that we were nervous about became a very good idea.
Do you feel your fan base has split into two camps: Busted and McFly - or have they all come together?
J: There are some McFly fans that would wish I'd go away.
M: "I wish those Busted motherfuckers were dead."
J: So yeah, it's mainly a McFly fanbase.
To: But you're popular in Japan aren't you James?
J: I was voted the second most popular solo artist and I wasn't even a solo person. Avril Lavigne was number one.
Dougie: I think they think you look like Monkey...
M: He was a TV character in the 70s who was a fucking huge deal and he looks like fucking James.
So are you McBusted for the forseeable future?
J: Is McBusted FORVER do you mean?
H: Forever sounds like purgatory and that's not a fun thing.
J: Why is it that people have to know if this is forever or not? Nobody knows what will happen, and you shouldn't know the future.
Let's stay in the present then, what can we hope for this Most Excellent Adventure Tour?
Matt: If they came to the last one they're going to like this one. It's got an arcade theme.
Harry: [laughs] Is that all you have to say?

In the last few years we saw a rising of open data services, between these also the city of Milano started to publicly share its data. While more and more data is becoming available, it still remains difficult to gather knowledge from it.
As first exercise of the year, we asked the students to tell a story about milano using open data. The exercise is a first challenge for Communication Design students: how to collect, analyze and visualize data? how to identify a story, and how to communicate it effectively? Students were free to choose the visual language, the only constraint was the visualization size (A3 paper).
Although it is the first time these students face with data visualization, we think their work is promising. You can have a look at the flickr set here. Enjoy!

Welcome to the home of the 2021 ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference, which was supposed to be held in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China, on June 20 - June 25, 2021. However, due to global uncertainties, travel restrictions, and other potential difficulties associated with COVID'19, SIGMOD'21 is transitioning to an online format. The online conference will be complemented with a local physical event at Xi'an, primarily targeting our strong data management community in China.
The Conference. The annual ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference is a leading international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences in all aspects of data management.
Xi'an. Capital of Shaanxi Province, was called Chang'an in ancient times. It is situated in the central part of Weihe Plain, with the Weihe River flowing in the north and the Qinling Rangs rising and falling in the south.
Xi'an records the great changes of the Chinese nation just like a living history book. During Xian's 3,100 year development, 13 dynasties such as Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang placed their capitals here. So far, Xian enjoys equal fame with Athens, Cairo, and Rome as one of the four major ancient civilization capitals. The cultural and historical significance of the area, as well as the abundant relics and sites, help Xian enjoy the laudatory title of "Natural History Museum".Main tourist attractions include the terra cotta warriors and horses, Great Wild Goose Pagoda, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Huaqing Pool, BanPo Site, Stele Forest, Mosque, QianLing Mausoleum, Famen Temple and Maoling Mausoleum. Xi'an was the start point of the Old Silk Road that extended from Asia to Europe and played an important role in cultural interflow between the East and West in ancient times.

Nov 29 (Reuters) - HP Inc's quarterly revenue beat analysts' estimates on Thursday, driven by growth in its personal systems business that sells notebooks and desktops and the acquisition of Samsung's printer business.
Shares of HP Inc, which houses the hardware business of former Hewlett-Packard Co, were marginally up in extended trading.
The personal systems business, which accounts for more than 60 percent of HP Inc's total revenue, rose 11 percent to $10.06 billion, beating analysts' average estimate of $9.78 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
"On the PC side, we are impressed, particularly amidst a backdrop of reported 'CPU shortages' that are already well known," said David Ryzhik, an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group.
HP Inc said revenue from its printing business rose 9.1 percent to $5.30 billion, slightly short of analysts' estimate of $5.31 billion.
The company completed the acquisition of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's printer business for $1.05 billion in November 2017 as a part of its efforts to strengthen the sluggish printer and copier business.
HP Inc said, in a post earnings call with analysts, it has not considered any impact from unannounced tariffs or any significant demand changes that may result from an increase in geopolitical uncertainties. The Palo Alto, California-based company said it would consider price increases to respond to tariffs.
"We are working through a variety of mitigation items on the tariffs, pricing included to be one of the ways we mitigate," said Chief Financial Officer Steve Fieler during the call.
The company forecast current-quarter adjusted profit of 50 cents to 53 cents per share. Analysts expected a profit of 52 cents per share.
Net earnings rose to $1.45 billion, or 91 cents per share, in the fourth quarter ended Oct. 31, from $660 million, or 39 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, the company earned 54 cents per share, in line with average analyst estimates.
The company said its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings and profit exclude after-tax adjustments of $586 million, or 37 cents per share, related to restructuring and other charges and acquisition-related charges.

Liverpool's 2019 UCL winning squad is a better team than the 2019/2020 EPL champions – John Barnes
Date: August 10, 2020Author: Afolayan Toyosi 1 Comment
Liverpool and Three Lions Legend John Barnes has come out to say the Liverpool side that finished second place to Manchester City is a better team than the 2019-20 Premier League champions.
The Reds broke and set a number of records while they ended the club's 30-year barren run in the top tier of English league football. They picked up a massive 99 points and finishing 18 points clear of second placed Manchester City.
In the previous year, they finished second place to Manchester City who got 98 points and they also claimed 97 points losing narrowly to the Pep Guardiola led side. That season didn't end there as they went on win the UEFA Champions League, defeating Tottenham Hotspurs in the final.
"I was delighted with them last year – 97 points and finishing second, winning the Champions League…" John said to talkSPORT.
"In fact, I think they were probably better last year, but Man City were just incredible.
"They continued that consistency this year in what they did, so I look at it as a two-year victory, if you like – winning the Champions League and finishing second by a point in the league and then winning the Premier League this season, it was an incredible two years.
"Jurgen Klopp has brought a real level of consistency and determination and humility to the team.
"People are now saying 'can they do it again next year', but what we can do next year is we can be as competitive as we were this year.
"Obviously teams will improve to make it harder, but I don't think we'll be any less consistent next year."
The former Watford legend also added that the 2018-19 season was the Liverpool's most astonishing performance ever, even surpassing the great night at Istanbul where they cameback from 3-0 in the 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan to become eventual winners on penalty shoot out.
"You can go back to when Liverpool won the European Cup in the old days in Rome, and of course there was Istanbul and you think that will never be surpassed," he said.
"But then there was the 4-0 at home to Barcelona, as much as it was in the semi-final and wasn't to win the Champions League, that for me tops anything they've done in the past – including Istanbul.
"To beat Barcelona when you had to beat them 4-0 at home without Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah while they had all their players, including Lionel Messi, and for us to come back… that's why it's my favourite.
"Again, it shows what Jurgen Klopp has brought to Liverpool, a determination and belief to the team – to demand that kind of performance from the team regardless of who is playing, it shows what Klopp has done."
John Barnes won two league titles with Liverpool and two cup finals at Wembley. He was also a FA Cup runner-up with Watford, Liverpool and Newcastle United. He played for England on 79 occasions.

The LTL Mandarin semester programs we offer in Beijing and Shanghai provide full LTL premium quality at a budget price. A semester lasts a full 18 weeks, is taught in small groups and are suitable both for beginner and beginner-intermediate students.
Classes are taught by a certified and experienced Chinese language teacher. The Mandarin program focuses on spoken Chinese, but also teaches you how to read and write Chinese in class also. Students quickly learn tones, pronunciation and grammar in their Chinese classes.
Upon successful completion can navigate and organize their life in China, are able to understand conversations in Chinese, and read basic Chinese newspaper articles.
The Best – The hiring process isn't easy. These teachers are the finest.
Emily Molina came all the way from Columbia to study Chinese with LTL in Shanghai, Beijing and Chengde. She gives her thoughts on her time at LTL. VIDEO IN SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
Carmen Garcia studied Chinese in small group classes with LTL in Beijing. Listen to her story learning Chinese and her thoughts on LTL as a school here. VIDEO IN SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
At a price of 23,256 CNY (approx. 3,600 USD) for the whole semester (18 weeks) the Program is a bargain in itself. The budget course is already including all registration fees, text books and study materials. It's a fixed duration program not only is very intensive and high quality, but also great value.
The cost of this course is equal to just 64.6 CNY per/hour.
Use the free Wireless instead of moible data. You can get a mobile data plan on your phone (if you have an LTL survival kit, it is already included), however almost every shop, restaurant or bar (and of course LTL) offers free wireless in China. Get the password and surf for free pretty much anywhere in the city.
LTL Tip Two – Eat local food, it's extremely cheap!
Eat only local. Chinese food is not only amazing, but also very cheap, even in Taiwan. Lunch at the food court next to LTL costs between 9 and 11 CNY (1.5 – 2 USD) and a beer in the restaurants next to the shared apartments is about 4 CNY (0.7 USD). Stay away from imported food, McDonalds or international restaurants. If there is anything from your home country you cannot do without, bring it with you, as imported food in China is quite expensive.
Visit the many free sights and parks in Beijing. Walking around the lakes in Beijing Old Town is probably one of the most magical experiences this city has to offer and does not cost a single cent. Especially on weekends Beijing's parks are an amazing sight, full of people practicing Tai Qi, singing songs and having Kong Fu show fights. Both parks closest to LTL, Ritan and Tuanjiehu, charge no cover and are definitely worth a visit.
Get on the LTL free event list. On every night of the week there is a bar or club offering free drinks, ladies night or free cover charge in Beijing – if you get yourself on the guest list the day before. Let LTL be your local free drinks party guide and you will be drinking for free all week.
Check out our blog on Beijing Freebies for further free things to do in Beijing.
LTL Tip Five – Public transport is very cheap!
Use the local transport system. A bus ride in Beijing costs between 1 and 2 CNY (0.2 and 0.3 USD) and a subway ride between 3 and 7 CNY (0.9 and 1.2 USD). While taxis are also comparatively cheap, they do add up after a while. When after 11pm the subway stops, the night buses continue to run all night.
Study and improve your Mandarin in our small group courses. Our classes are small in size with a maximum of six students and an average size of just three.

My drive home from a yum early birthday (tomorrow, but the weather forecast is nasty) breakfast turned out to be even meatier than my meal – intriguing listen on The Takeaway, a build on Paula Span's 02/02/18 NY Times article, If Immigrants Are Pushed Out, Who Will Care For The Elderly.
Strange – both the article & the radiocast focus almost exclusively on how the crackdown affects the elderly, yet Todd Zwillich's guest, Stephen Campbell, off-handedly mentions that HALF of direct care is provided to people under 65, aka the NOT elderly.
How weird that – in this situation – youngers seem a huge yet forgotten demographic.
It's true that Boomers increasing trip into young old age. They will need considerable support – in time. Down the road. BUT the worries of how immigration crackdowns & reduced legal arrivals will affect available direct care support hits youngers RIGHT NOW, whether they face disabilities as long term as cancer or as short as knee replacement.
And let us never forget the men & women returning from wars abroad, needing more & longer care than in previous engagements.
Am shocked appalled horrified to hear younger people – half the population currently receiving long-term direct care – so casually brushed aside. Especially the seeming endless stream of young men & women returning from Iraq & Afghanistan facing a LIFETIME of care for physical & mental wounds, needing home health care. And let us not forget the countless young lives mangled in the current opioid epidemic, which has claimed 64,000+ lives due to overdoses & left millions addicted; the recovering survivors need medical & psychological services ~and~ often direct care support.
The impact of the immigration crackdown & reduction of new arrivals will take its toll across all ages, from the child diagnosed with Down Syndrome to the high school athlete suffering a life-changing injury, from the NFL player entering his forties with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) to the 52-year old suburban dad fighting to overcome addiction.
This blog is called All Ages, All Stages because John & I do all we can to help people across the age spectrum, from itty bitties to ancients, live as expansively as possible. The frustration we feel when older people are invisibled pales compared to my bottomless outrage at how a drop in direct care support will affect babies – tweens – teens – young adults – middle agers. I want to howl at the moon & shriek with outrage.
My guess is that youngers are ignored because their dilemma cuts a little too close to home. It's easy to think of the elderly as needing home health care support; to think of thirty-somethings needing their daily needs met by others cuts t0o close to the bone.
Gotta run – gotta go out & howl at the moon.

Q: javascript server under XULRunner fails I'm trying to debug a DOM scraping packaged called crowbar. Anyhow, when I run I get:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0xc1f30001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED) [nsIServerSocket.asyncListen]"  nsresult: "0xc1f30001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://crowbar/content/crowbar.js :: onLoad :: line 375"  data: no]
  Source File: chrome://crowbar/content/crowbar.js
  Line: 375

Basically, asyncListen() is throwing NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED. This is weird because the line of code immediately before this is a call to init()! I've tried adding:
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");

just before the call to asyncListen() and it had no effect. Is this a security issue? (btw, in case it matters, this is on a Fedora box, running as root, with selinux disabled)... I've also tried a few different port numbers...

A: Here's the source code: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/base/src/nsServerSocket.cpp#369
Are you sure init() doesn't fail (that's what initializes mFD)? Maybe something closes it before your call?
I would build a debug XULRunner to build a debug version and/or try to get logging output from the app. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what the LOG() macro in that code resolves to, usually it's NSPR logging, but you have to guess the module name in order to enable logging for this module.
Boris Zbarsky (one mozilla core developers) says:

Since you're calling init(), the only other way I see to get an
NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED out of asyncListen is for the thread you're running on
to no longer be accepting events...

So something odd is happening.  Are there in fact multiple threads involved?

A: I am too facing this problem. I have derived my code from CrowBar and running it through xulrunner 1.9.1 on Win 7.
I get the problem when I am diconnected from the net. If I am on a network it works. I do have multiple threads [multiple  xul elements ]. But I belive I am running it on main thread (I am not sure how I can find  current thread though), so thread not listening should not be the issue.
Also I have noted that in nsSocketTransportService2.cpp thread becomes null, so Boris maybe right.
NS_IMETHODIMP
nsSocketTransportService::Dispatch (nsIRunnable *event, PRUint32 flags)
{

    LOG(("STS dispatch [%p]\n", event));
    nsCOMPtr<nsIThread> thread = GetThreadSafely();
    NS_ENSURE_TRUE(thread, NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED);
    nsresult rv = thread->Dispatch(event, flags);
    if (rv == NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) {
        // Thread is no longer accepting events. We must have just shut it
        // down on the main thread. Pretend we never saw it.
        rv = NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED;
    }
    return rv;
}

Hope this helps pin down the problem.
thanks

How to interpret "Modesty And Progress"
This hexagram symbolizes the two complex concepts of modesty and progress. The suggestion here is that the highest love can best be accomplished through a modest, albeit slow approach. Self promotion or boasting are seen as definite negatives here, and this hexagram often serves as a warning against these possibilities. Be yourself. Don't flaunt your achievements or hide your flaws. Be loved for who you are. Trust your innate goodness. It will be noticed, but you have to let yourself be seen in a true light. Share yourself and speak your truth with quiet composure. Actions will speak far louder than self-serving words. Feigning knowledge brings misfortune. Authenticity brings open-hearted connection. Through humility comes forward movement.
This line is an indication that merit is being publicly acknowledged. A special someone will either verbally or silently compliment you at this time. Be grateful to be seen and accepted, but stay humble.
While modesty is important, it is possible for modesty to mask other motives. A lack of ambition or laziness often hides behind the mask of "modesty." Don't fool yourself or a special someone with falsity. True modesty is accompanied by hard work and accurate self perception.
You will be lucky in love at this time, but don't flaunt it or boast about it, or else your good fortune will crumble.
"Modesty and Appreciation Draw Love In"
With modesty, love follows. Someone is likely to do something that pleasantly surprises you. Immediate action must follow. Show your appreciation for this person in no uncertain terms.
