How can I see what MBAM actually did?
On the dashboard, MBAM says it had 4 scan time detections and 2404 real-time detections but I can't find any evidence that MBAM actually did anything, except for 1 time in October it says it blocked a ransomware attack and the rest of the reports say it detected nothing, except blocked websites. How can I see what the 4 scan detections and 2404 real-time detections were? At least in Norton you can see what the actual threats were. Before I re-up my premium protection l want to see what it actually did and the report section isn't helpful at all - I'd need to open each and every report and there are too many to do that.
How can I find the correct report for the scan results? And Dropbox.
After a regular scheduled hyper scan, I get a notification saying: Clicking on View Scan Results seems to show only the results of the last scan, which is not necessarily the scan that found the 'potential threat. When I look at the reports, I see a long list of previous reports, but I cannot identify which report the notification referred to. I could go through them all individually, but I run a hyper scan once every hour and they build up overnight. Is there any way I can go directly to the correct report? Having asked that, the reports that are there all seem to show the following: Any idea why this is causing a problem?

Multi-organization project uses tree growth algorithm to simulate metal oxide cluster behavior
Postdoctoral researcher Mingyang Chen earned his doctoral degree at the University of Alabama, working closely with his mentor, David Dixon, in using computation to understand metal oxide clusters' mysterious behaviors. Once he started working at the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2014, he continued collaborating with his old team, and the teamwork is paying off.
Chen now works in the scientific computing group at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), a DOE Office of Science User Facility, and has significantly contributed to how Dixon's team approaches these complex materials problems computationally.
As he finished his doctoral work, Chen was tasked with developing an algorithm to understand metal oxide clusters better. Clusters—pre-nucleation clusters, to be more specific—are groups of molecules and nanostructures that begin to interact and form crystals but have not yet formed a nucleus, so they are not considered cells.
Certain clusters, such as the magnesium carbonate material the team most recently simulated, may be useful in preventing carbon emissions from polluting the atmosphere but do not appear naturally. Further, creating them in a laboratory is an expensive, difficult process.
Chen developed the tree growth–hybrid genetic algorithm (TG-HGA) in hopes of simulating how particles form clusters and how cluster properties evolve as the size increases and surface-to-volume ratio changes. The team first tried simulating a two-element cluster as proof of concept, and the titanium oxide simulations turned out to line up closely with experimental data.
After Chen moved to the OLCF and began using the Titan supercomputer—a Cray XK7 capable of 27 petaflops, or 27 quadrillion calculations per second—the team thought it could try simulating a more complex material. Unlike titanium–oxygen-based titanium oxide, magnesium carbonate consists of magnesium, carbon, and oxygen atoms. The extra element affects the degrees of freedom in a calculation, making it far more computationally intensive.
The algorithm still worked well with the more complex cluster, and the team—which also includes Andrew Felmy of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Virgil Jackson from the University of Alabama—was able to simulate magnesium carbonate clusters accurately and, ultimately, began to see how they grow into larger, more complex bulk solids. The team published its findings in the Journal of Physical Chemistry.
The team's next set of simulations deals with cluster reactions to small molecules such as water and acidic gases, adding yet another layer of complexity to the project. The team is optimizing its algorithm further in hopes of not only simulating more complex clusters and their interactions, but also modeling how cluster particles interact with various surfaces or how clusters may react when exposed to light.
Chen noted that the main limitations do not relate to computational capabilities as much as actual scientific challenges. "These simulations are difficult, but the bottleneck is not scaling up the program," he said. "The bottleneck deals with what happens when clusters get larger. It gets more and more difficult to substruct the correct genomes and put them together. That's a scientific difficulty."

Q: Why doesn't inverse iteration always converge towards the eigenvector with the smallest eigenvalue? Here's my reasoning. Power iteration converges towards the eigenvector with the largest eigenvalue. Inverse iteration is power iteration using the matrix $(A-\mu I)^{-1}$. The eigenvalues of this matrix are $(\lambda_i - \mu)^{-1}$ with the $\lambda_i$ being the eigenvalues of $A$, so the largest eigenvalue of $(A-\mu I)^{-1}$ is going to correspond to the smallest eigenvalue of $A$. So inverse iteration converges towards the eigenvector with the smallest eigenvalue.
But inverse iteration is supposed to converge towards the eigenvector with the eigenvalue closest to $\mu$. So i made a mistake somewhere. What am i getting wrong ?

A: If $B = A - \mu I$, iterating $B$ converges (under appropriate conditions) to an eigenvector for the largest eigenvalue (in magnitude) of $B$.  Iterating $B^{-1}$ should similarly converge to an eigenvector for the largest eigenvalue of $B^{-1}$.  Now the eigenvalues of $B^{-1} = (A - \mu I)^{-1}$ are $(\lambda - \mu)^{-1}$ where $\lambda$ are the eigenvalues of $A$.  The absolute value of this is largest when $\lambda$ is closest to $\mu$.

Q: How to specify conditions for excel COUNTIFS function? What I am trying to do is count the number of values in an excel column named "Report Deadline" that are after today, but also have no value(blank) or have the value "N/A" in another column named "Date Report Issued"
I am unfamiliar with how to specify conditions for the COUNTIFS function but I also don't know if there is a better way to do it rather than use COUNTIFS
This is what I have
=COUNTIFS(Table22[Report Deadline],">=" & TODAY(),Table22[Date Report Issued],"=" "",Table22[Date Report Issued],"=" "N/A")

A: You can't really have an "OR" condition in a COUNTIFS.
I would suggest doing two separate COUNTIFS, and then adding them together. Like so:
=COUNTIFS(Table22[Report Deadline],">=" & TODAY(),Table22[Date Report Issued], "")
+
COUNTIFS(Table22[Report Deadline],">=" & TODAY(),Table22[Date Report Issued], "N/A")

If you really wanted to do it in a single expression, you could put "N/A" and "" into an array and wrap the COUNTIFS in a SUM. But it would essentially be doing the same thing as the two separate functions and arguably not be as easy to read:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(Table22[Report Deadline],">=" & TODAY(),Table22[Date Report Issued],{"","N/A"}))

Old Navy is leveraging social media and a text-to-win game to entice Black Friday shoppers hoping to win a $1 million jackpot or a $200 shopping spree from the retailer.
Old Navy claims that consumers have up to five times better odds of winning the second annual "Overnight Millionaire" sweepstakes than last year. For shoppers that will be waiting in long lines and seeking ways to pass time on Black Friday, Old Navy hopes that the text-to-win game will increase their engagement and give them the opportunity to win one of 1,000 available shopping sprees at the store.
"Mobile is a critical piece of our ongoing in-store and ecommerce strategy," said Julie Luker, director of PR & partnerships for Old Navy, San Francisco. "We just rolled out an order-in-store program to select stores, allowing customers to access and purchase inventory from our e-commerce site while in store.
Old Navy, which has 261,000 followers on Twitter, has seen previous success with the Overnight Millionaire giveaway. Social media analytics firm Unmetric found that the designated #onemilthrill hashtag was the most used and most engaging on Twitter.
Old Navy scarcely used the #blackfriday and #cybermonday hashtags in its own Tweets, but saw its followers use those extensively, thereby helping to promote the contest.
The retail brand also leveraged YouTube for the promotion, using Oscar-nominated actress Melissa McCarthy in both a 70-second and 30-second video. Ms. McCarthy played a woman on a game show disappointed to win a set of towels as a prize, only to be elated when informed that Old Navy was giving away a million dollars on Black Friday.
Last year's Overnight Millionaire was 11-year military veteran Scott Rowe, who was featured in a video for Old Navy as well. The brand is looking forward to giving back to its fans with its holiday deals and high-stakes promotions.
Rolling out Black Friday campaigns or sweepstakes on mobile as people wait in line is an optimal plan of outreach, since most consumers will have their mobile devices on them and will be seeking ways to pass the time.
Consumers wanting to win one of the 1,000 available $200 Old Navy shopping sprees will be entered after playing a text-to-win game on their mobile devices. The game will be accessible when Old Navy opens for business at 4 p.m. local time on Thanksgiving and will end on Sunday, Nov. 30.
The first 100 Black Friday shoppers lined up at each Old Navy store will receive a game card that ensures eligibility for a chance to win the Overnight Millionaire giveaway. That winner will be randomly chosen on Nov. 28.
Ultimately, the text-to-win campaign is designed as a tool for customer engagement to increase. While the game is established for a short period of time, the aftereffects of playing can last longer.

Friday was a big day for me because Dec options expired on 7 different trades I executed over the last 12 months that contributed largely to my 2017 production's overall grain marketing plan and strategy. Below I've provided all of the trade detail for each one including rationale for why I made the trade at the time, all possible outcomes of each trade based upon what the market could possibly do, how my profitability was ultimately affected, and my final observations and lessons learned.
You'll notice that there is a lot of detail provided for each trade because, one, I like to be transparent and I find those who fully explain their plan are more credible. Two, in my experience most farmers are unaware of all the options available to them and many want more detail and specifics because they are interested in learning and considering alternative opportunities they may not currently understand or be hearing about. For those wanting just a summary of each trade, you can read the "What Happened" section of each trade for an abridged version.
The above options strategy only represents about 5% of production. To get to 15% I repeated the trade 3 times.
Corn closed under $3.50, so the $4.00 calls expired worthless. The puts were exercised, making me short Dec futures at $3.50. The C.S.O. option, a protection against a short US crop production and having to move the additional sale to 2018, was not used and expired worthless.
In the end, I kept the 40 cent premium collected from the call options after subtracting the cost of the put, C.S.O. and commissions and have a $3.50 sale. This means I received $3.90 total ($3.50 40 cents of premium). In hindsight, I should have just sold the corn at $3.95 last January, but I thought corn would eventually be in a higher range bound value. Still, considering current prices I'm fine with this sale. Having this trade in place minimized my farm operation risk while providing upside potential.
2/28/17 – At the time, I had a "wish order" in place to sell if a $4.50 Dec call hit 19.5 cents (it had been ranging between12-17 cents). On 2/28 there were rumored changes to the RFS (Renewable Fuel Standard) mandate, so the call value shot up to 19.5 cents for 5 minutes.
Corn never made it above $4.18, and closed at $3.40 so I kept the 19.5 cents to add to a future trade. Knowing what I know now, either scenario of this trade would have been a win for me. But, the real lesson here is how being prepared and including wish orders within grain marketing strategies can help farmers take advantage of opportunities that become available quickly and are short-lived. Farmers who don't have a clear marketing plan outlined with price point objectives will almost always be at a disadvantage.
Expected Market Direction Late November - Assuming normal weather throughout summer, keeping the market steady to a little lower.
$3.22 or lower - a new crop corn sale is removed, but any profits gained on that trade can be added to a future sale.
Corn was $3.40, so I bought back the $3.70 put for -$.30, making $.18 profit to be added to a future trade. This is another example of a straddle allowing me to "manufacturing premium" in a sideways (to slightly lower) market that is also under profitable levels for limited risk exposure (i.e. by limited risk exposure I mean that I understood and was comfortable with all possible scenarios of this trade). In mid-May I didn't think $3.90 was necessarily a good sale; however, in hindsight I'm satisfied with this trade and can add the premium generated in this trade it to another trade down the road.
On 5/17/17 when Dec corn was $3.90. I bought a $3.80 Dec put and sold a $3.50 Dec put for 8 cents. I then sold a $4.10 Sep short-dated call (which is against the Dec) for 8 cents, to help offset the put spread cost.
Above $4.10 on 8/25/17 - I only get $4.10 regardless how high corn goes.
Corn was below $4.10 when the short date Sep option expired on 8/25/17, and then below $3.50 on 11/24/17 when the Dec options expired. Result, I made an additional 30 cent premium to be added to an upcoming trade.
Again, while I knew all potential outcomes of the trade when it was placed, in the end I was okay with the final result. I was able to secure additional premium during a lower trending market to help me ultimately try and protect my price points for some of my corn while minimizing my overall risk. Again hindsight will show I should have just sold grain back in May for $3.90 but at the time nobody really thought that was a good idea so early in the season with delayed plantings.
Basically I have a $4.15 floor price and a $4.45 potential price ceiling.
Corn closed below $3.70, so I had to sell at $3.70, but I keep the 45 cent profit. Meaning, I basically sold at $4.15 against Dec futures.
While in reality I received the worst possible scenario of this trade, knowing what I know today, I'm very pleased with receiving $4.15 for my corn. I received a price 2 cents off the high of the market for the year and had upside potential the whole time as well.
On 6/29/17, one day before the June 30th USDA report, I sold a $3.80 Dec call for 20 cents when Dec futures were around $3.80 at the time.
Dec futures were below $3.80, so I kept 20 cents to be used on an upcoming trade.
Another success in selling a call to add additional premium. While like most farmers, I would prefer to have more corn sold at this point, "manufacturing premium" like this in the meantime is helping to ease the sting of a sideways to lower market a little.
If Dec corn is trading below $3.60 when this option expires - I keep the premium and add it to another trade down the road.
If Dec corn is trading above $3.60 when this option expires - I have to sell corn for $3.60 PLUS the premium which would be like selling $3.705.
Corn was under $3.60, so the option expired worthless and I kept the 11.50 cents. Another example of successfully selling a call to help add profits to an upcoming trade.
Side Note - In the 7 trades above there were a few trades that partially offset each other. Trade #5's long $3.70 put offset trade #3's short $3.70 put (as a part of the $3.70 straddle). Also trade #4's short $3.50 put offset some but not all of trade #1's long $3.50 puts.
These trades left me sold (or short futures) on about 15% of my '17 production. 10% is sold at $3.50 and 5% at $3.80, which would be an average price of $3.60. Obviously, that's not very impressive. However, all the premium generated above totals around 88 cents extra on that 15% of my production too. This means it is the equivalent of selling $4.48 futures.
I still have a long ways to go on my remaining 70% unpriced grain for the '17 production, but these examples above illustrate the importance of planning for all three possible market scenarios – Up, Down AND Sideways. Some farmers' marketing strategy are only profitable if prices go up significantly. But, that only happens at best 33% of the time. Usually this means these farmers are UNPROFITABLE if prices are sideways or go down.
Successful farmers develop and optimize their grain marketing strategy to include all scenarios. Not only are they more profitable doing this, but they reduce their farm operation's risk considerably.


For most horror writers and those telling tales of terror, you'll hear Stephen King or Edgar Allan Poe, perhaps "The Twilight Zone" or "The Outer Limits," or maybe even classic films like Hammer horror or The Evil Dead.
Well, for me it was in kindergarten. Each student was allowed fifteen minutes a day or so to listen to whatever they chose on the record player, and I always knew what I wanted to hear from the first time it was played for me: "Mother Ghost Nursery Rhymes (and other tricks and treats)." This was a Scholastic collection of 33 1/2 RPM records each with a story or song or whatever, each stranger than the next. "Rock-a-bye Monster" and "Georgie (the Ghost)" were two of my favorites.
These days with all of the insulation and over-protecting of kids, I don't know that I would have had the same access to such things as I did in 1972, but I was also reading my mom's Stephen King books at the age of ten, so there you go.


I do suffer from chronic arms/wrist and neck pain due to damage to central cord (central cord syndrome) and accompanied by multilevel cervical stenosis.The intensifies when I am stressed out,anxious and fatigued,which I am most of the time as I sleep poorly since I also have insomnia. My neuro 1st recommended surgery (4 level cervical laminectomy with fusion) but later told me that the surgery will not improve existing symptoms as they are due to damage to the cord itself ,and the cord cannot be repaired or regenerated.
I have been trying medication, yoga, physio but those measures don't bring much relief. Only some application of ice packs to my arms bring some temporary relief. I did also notice that my neck hurts less and is less stiff during the warm weather and gets worse during cold and damp weather conditions. Does anybody here has ever had the same or similar experience or some knowledge on the effects of warmth on chronic neck pain?

Before my acdf, I lost count of the number heating pads I wore out. I thought it was the only thing that eased my pains. Surgeon said no more bc that only makes things swell/get further inflamed. Since then I only ice. The weather. .most anyone will agree that the cold weather makes things ache more as do storm coming in. Conversely, the warm weather doesn't make mine better either.
I like the hot shower in the morning, it helps me get going. Cold is better overall, but the heat 1st thing is good.
I've noticed that cold weather tends to make me feel worse.
Here is what is really strange to me. I like Ice bag on my neck, hands down nothing works better taking the pain away. Ice bag on top of my head for cervical headaches. For my lumbar spine I love heating pad. Why the difference? For me its the fact heating pads make me sick feeling almost overheated for my face. Cant get near my face with heat.
I have even sat on the sofa on a bad day with ice bag on my neck and heating pad on my lower back. A sad site to see I know. lol.
Don't feel bad. I have used ice and heat at the same time. I have also told folks most people fill the fridge with food or cold beer. We fill it with cold packs. No joke at one time a whole shelf was given over to the cold gel packs.

Utility broadband plan on tight schedule, original conduit sale agreement falls through in "11th hour"
Renee Shadforth
Although the Truckee Donner Public Utility District continues to move ahead in its preparation to get into the broadband business, the project is taking longer than the district's board of directors and staff had expected.
Over the duration of the planning process, the expected completion date for the project has extended from mid-2002 to the end of this year. Director of Telecommunication Services Alan Harry said some district customers could expect to have voice, video and data services by December 2003.
"I've sensed a little frustration on the board the last couple weeks," said district General Manager Peter Holzmeister. "If our idea was to serve customers by Jan. 1, 2004, we'd better get moving."
One bump in the road has been the sale and lease of two, two-inch fiber-optic conduits expected to bring more than $800,000 into the district's telecommunications unit. The first deal with Touch America – one half of the Sierra Touch America partnership – "fell apart," Harry said.
"In the 11th hour of the deal, we came to find out [Touch America] is no longer accepting phone calls and they no longer have a staff," Harry said.
On the up side for the district, Sierra Pacific Communications, the other half of the Sierra Touch America partnership, agreed to enter negotiations with the district for the purchase of the conduit.
In the deal, the telecommunications unit will also purchase two strands of dark fiber, which may provide access to potential voice, video and data information from Sacramento.
In order to maintain a timeline for broadband service to be available to some customers by the end of the year, there are a series of tasks the district must complete in a very short period of time, Holzmeister said. Over the next couple months, he added, his attention will be diverted to broadband.
"In some cases [Harry and I] will ask the board to allow me to approve certain actions and report to me after the fact," Holzmeister wrote in his memo to the board.
Although the board decided the delegation of its powers would be discussed at a later date, Director Pat Sutton said she was hesitant to hand over any decision-making authority to district staff.
"I'm very concerned with these kinds of requests," she said.
Harry answered Sutton, saying he believed some quick decisions would be necessary, because the district would be involved in the competitive market.
"If we continue pushing this forward, I fear we'll lose the confidence of the people in this district," Harry said.
Major items on the district's to-do list for broadband include arranging financing, securing Local Agency Formation Commission approval, building the system, building the broadband organization and launching the service.
To help pick up the pace on the broadband business, the board held a special meeting Monday night to discuss telecommunication issues. Harry presented the board with information comparing the district's cost to build, own and operate the fiber-to-the-home infrastructure itself and the cost of operating the system through an already established provider. For the district to construct its own system, the capital outlay for "headend" only would cost $6 million, Harry estimated. For the district to outsource the headend, it would cost $500,000, Harry said.
The discussion led to several questions from the public regarding channel offerings, as they compare to USA Media and satellite service, and the quality of service the public can expect from the proposed Truckee Donner Public Utility District broadband.
"Will there be limiting programming available? What about AMC and the Food Network?" asked Truckee-resident Juanita Schneider.
Harry responded to most of the questions, saying the district's broadband "wouldn't be bound by [the provider's] line up."
The public utility district's broadband project, already more than three years in the making, is estimated to cost more than $14 million dollars.

Q: Add a class to every child of a slot I'm trying to set up a component with a slot, that when rendered adds a class to every children of that slot. In a very simplified manner:
<template>

  <slot name="footerItems"></slot>

</template>

How would I go about this? My current solution is to add the class to the elements in an onBeforeUpdate hook:

However, the elements lose the styling whenever it's rerendered (using npm run serve) and also jest tests give me a warning:
    [Vue warn]: Slot "footerItems" invoked outside of the render function: this will not track dependencies used in the slot. Invoke the slot function inside the render function instead.

Should I move the slot to its own component and use a render function there? But even then I'm not sure how to edit the children to add the classes or how to produce several root level elements from the render function.

A: So, I managed to solve this in an incredibly hacky way, but at least my issue with re-rendering doesn't happen anymore and jest doesn't complain. I wrote a component with a render function that appends that class to all children

<template>
<render>
  <slot></slot>
</render>
</template>

Then I would just wrap the slot in this component to add the class to the children elements:
<template>

  <classed-slot childrenClass="card-footer-item">
    <slot name="footerItems"></slot>
  </classed-slot>

</template>

I would gladly accept any answer that improves upon this solution, especially:

*

*Any tips to type it. All those anys feel wonky but I find it very impractical working with Vue types for slots since they are usually unions of 3 or 4 types and the only solution is to wrap these in type checks

*Anything that improves its reliability since it seems that it'd crash in any slightly different setup than the one I intended

*Any recommendation based on Vue's (or TS) best practices, since this looks very amateurish.

*Really any other way to test for symbol equality because I know none

EDIT
This is my latest attempt, a render function in a file ClassedSlot.js:
import { cloneVNode } from 'vue';

function recursivelyAddClass(element, classToAdd) {
  if (Array.isArray(element)) {
    return element.map(el => recursivelyAddClass(el, classToAdd));
  } else if (element.type.toString() === 'Symbol(Fragment)') {
    const clone = cloneVNode(element);
    clone.children = recursivelyAddClass(element.children, classToAdd)
    return clone;
  } else {
    return cloneVNode(element, { class: classToAdd });
  }
}

export default {
  props: {
    childrenClass: {
      type: String,
      required: true
    },
  },

  render() {
    const slot = this.$slots.default();

    return recursivelyAddClass(slot, this.$props.childrenClass);
  },
};

The usage of this component is exactly the same as in the previous one. I'm kinda happy with this solution, seems more robust and idiomatic. Note that it's javascript because I found it really hard to type these functions correctly.

A: @Haf 's answer is good.
I made some adjustments, so that you can specify the component name.
import { FunctionalComponent, StyleValue, cloneVNode, Ref, ComputedRef, unref } from "vue";

type MaybeRef<T> = T | Ref<T>;

/**
 * @param extraProps - ref or normal object
 * @returns
 *
 * @example
 *
 * const StyleComponent = useCssInJs({class: 'text-red-500'});
 *
 * const ComponentA = () => {
 *  return
 * }
 */
export const useCssInJs = (extraProps: MaybeRef<{
  class?: string,
  style?: StyleValue
}>) => {
  const FnComponent: FunctionalComponent = (_, { slots }) => {
    const defaultSlot = slots.default?.()[0];
    // could be Fragment or others? I'm just ignoring these case here
    if (!defaultSlot) return;
    const node = cloneVNode(defaultSlot, unref(extraProps));
    return [node];
  };

  return FnComponent
}

The Goal of the Century
Remembering the Legend: Top 5 Goals by Diego Maradona
Posted on 27th November 2020 in Inspiration
25th November 2020 will always be remembered as the day the world lost one of the most gifted footballers to ever grace the field – Diego Maradona. The legendary player passed away this Wednesday, aged 60, after suffering a heart attack. The same day, the office of Argentina's president declared three days of national mourning. Diego Maradona became a household name in 1986 after playing a crucial role in elevating the Argentinian football team to world cup glory. He is one of the two winners of the FIFA Player of the 20th Century award, with the other one being Pelé.
In a career that spanned two decades, Diego scored 34 goals for the Argentinian national football team and hundreds for the clubs he played for. As the world mourns the death of one of the greatest footballers of all time, let us take a look at the best goals scored by the athlete.
Hand of God, 1986
Stadium: Estadio Azteca, Mexico City, Mexico
'Hand of God' is amongst the most memorable as well as controversial goals in the history of football. As per the rules, Maradona must have received a yellow card and the goad must have been disallowed. However, the referees did not have a clear view and the goal was allowed.
The Goal of the Century, 1986
1986 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Argentina and England saw not just one but two goals that have been remembered for decades. Just moments after scoring 'Hand of God,' Maradona beat the entire defence of England and scored the goal to ensure his team's victory. The two goals are among the best ones scored at the Estadio Azteca stadium in Mexico City.
Divine free-kick, 1985
Stadium: San Paolo, Naples, Italy Diego Maradona is still considered by many to be the greatest player to ever play for the Italian football club, S.S.C. Napoli. While he scored numerous goals and led to Napoli to victory several times, the free-kick he scored against Juventus is still etched on the memory of football fans.
Against Belgium, 1986
Maradona had one of the best performances of his career in the FIFA World Cup 1986. Playing against Belgium, he scored a goal that was quite similar to the Goal of the Century, scored against England. He singlehandedly, beat the Belgian defenders and shot the ball past the goalkeeper.
A memorable score for Boca Juniors, 1981
Although Maradona did not spend much time playing for Boca Juniors team, he did score a few remarkable goals for them. Among these is the one he scored in November 1981 beating River Plate team's keeper Ubaldo Fillol at an extremely tight angle.
Diego Maradona will always be regarded as a legend of the sport, and will never be forgotten. If you wish to relive the iconic moments from his career, then do travel to the stadiums that have witnessed the unparalleled skills of the footballer. Whether you wish to pay homage to the great player at the iconic stadiums he played at, or explore other places, HappyEasyGo has always got your back with the best flight booking and hotel booking offers.

Why Guilt and Fear Appeals Backfire
By Sara Isaac
We've all felt it — what I call the "Screw You Don't Tell Me What To Do" effect. So why do we keep thinking it will work with other people? Here's what behavioral science tells us about why guilt and fear appeals can make people want to do the very behavior that is being discouraged, and what savvy changemakers can do instead.
Reactance: the Screw You effect
The Theory of Psychological Reactance has been studied for more than 50 years, though it got less attention in the late 1980s and '90s when, perhaps not coincidentally, fear and guilt appeals hit a heyday. Reactance happens when people feel like they are being told not to do something they think they should be able to do. The more overtly commanding the message (using words such as don't, should, or ought), the more vivid and explicit the appeal, and the more obviously it is intended to provoke guilt or fear, the higher the degree of reactance.
The anti-weed campaign that made teenagers want to get high. A 2006 Office of Drug Control Policy campaign Responsibility, Your Anti-Drug featured a public service announcement about a toddler left alone near a pool because the toddler's brother was getting high instead of babysitting. An evaluation found that adolescents who viewed these messages increased their intentions to use marijuana.
Anti-littering messages that increased littering. A 1979 experiment by researchers at the University of Arizona found that anti-littering messages that used explicit commands (Don't Litter) actually generated more litter.
Don't tell me I can't rent that apartment. A 2015 study documented reactance via accelerated heart rates among college students who were told they couldn't rent an apartment because they were a student.
Messages on the importance of school that made juniors take high school less seriously. A 2015 study found that the guiltier students felt after reading messages about taking school seriously, the more likely they were to dismiss the message. It's informative and quite fun to hear them explain why in their own words:
"Oh, shut up. I've seen the words dreams and goal too many times''
"1984 by George Orwell'"
"Don't tell me what to do'"
"**** you!"
"You ain't guiltin' me into nothin' "
Your racing heart and your stubborn mind
Recent studies have used heart-rate monitors, skin conductance sensors and tests of cognitive load to explain how reactance works. It helps to understand the dual process theory of the mind popularized by Pulitzer-prize winning behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman in his book Thinking, Fast and Slow. System 1 is our fast-acting, impulsive, emotional mind. System 2 is our logical brain, which kicks in more slowly — and can be hijacked by the feelings-driven System 1.
When we feel our behavioral choices are being unjustly restricted, we react with a three-step process.
Our heart races, and we feel angry, indignant and rebellious.
Our brains kick in to make us feel better by "derogating" the source; that is, coming up with all the reasons why the messenger is not to be believed.
To restore our sense of agency and freedom, we engage in the behavior we are told to avoid.
It's no surprise that many of the campaigns that have provoked reactance were aimed at adolescents. People tend to be more reactive during key life stages, including the "terrible twos" of toddlerhood, adolescence, and in later life (as many adult children of aging parents know only too well). Reactance is also a personality trait, meaning some people are hard-wired to more easily perceive threats to their behavioral freedom, get pissed off, and want to get even.
The problem for behavior change campaigns is that the people you most need to reach are often those very same rebels without a cause.
So what's a changemaker to do?
If you've learned one thing from reading the Fun Easy Popular blog, I hope it's that there is no silver bullet, no perfect methodology, no plug-and-play way to guarantee messaging success. As behavioral scientists like to say, context is everything.
But here are three things you can do to limit the chances of reactance.
Ask your audience. Reactance occurs when people feel that their freedoms are being unreasonably restricted — and unreasonableness is in the eye of the beholder. Be sure to test and track your campaign messages with your audience to make sure you are not provoking a boomerang effect. When we test campaign messages with new moms, for example, they are quick to point out which ones tick them off.
Offer empathy and help. I have yet to meet the person who likes to be told that they are wrong, and then to be told all the reasons why they are wrong. A better approach is to build on what people are already doing right. For example, instead of telling teenagers that their risk of dying in a car crash skyrockets if they catch a ride with a new driver, our Ride Like a Friend campaign tapped into teens' self-standards for friendship with tips for how they could reduce the distractions that raise crash risks.
Preserve agency through choice. Psychologists define "agency" as having control over your life and the decisions that you make. It is closely related to "dignity of risk," which is the idea that self-determination and the right to take reasonable risks are essential for dignity and self esteem. Researchers have shown that reactance to an overly prescriptive message can be reduced simply by stating that people are free to make their own decisions about how to act.
So after all of this, if you still want to use a fear or guilt appeal, all I can say is: the choice is yours.
Sara is Principal + Director of Strategy and Planning at Marketing for Change. As the mother of three twenty-somethings, she is practiced in the art of avoiding reactance.

Denham Springs Real Estate
View 483 listings
About the Community of Denham Springs
Denham Springs is a city in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, United States, and part of the Baton Rouge. Downtown Denham Springs has transformed itself from hardware stores, drug stores, doctor's offices, and a single movie theater to a collection of various and varied forms of antique dealers. The downtown area is now called the Denham Springs Antique Village. Denham Springs has a Mardi Gras Parade held two Saturdays before Mardi Gras. Denham Springs hosts the Springfest, held on the last Saturday in April. Denham Springs is the largest area of commercial and residential development in Livingston Parish, and the only parish municipality classified as a city.
The original land claims of John Noblet and Alexander Hogue form what is now the older section of Denham Springs, including the first residential and business districts. In 1828, William Denham, a Wilkinson County, Miss. native, married Mercy Hogue, the daughter of Alexander Hogue, and three months later purchased the 640 acres originally claimed by his father-in-law.Denham purchased the land and a slave for $1,350.
A popular belief, supported by previously published histories, is that William Denham discovered the mineral springs on his property and that a health resort quickly grew up there. This belief defies logic, however, considering the number of springs which may be found in this area even today, and the length of time that elapsed before Denham arrived on the scene. No doubt Hogue and other early residents of the area depended on the springs for drinking water.
Population in 1990 was 8,381, in 2000, 8,757, and increased to 10,308 by 2008.
The city is situated at the intersections of the east-west highways, US 190 and Interstate 12, with La. Hwy. 16, the major north-south artery in western Livingston Parish. Denham Springs is also located on the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad, a line which played a large role in the city's early development. The Amite River also forms a portion of the municipality's boundary, but the river is not navigable at this point. Ground-water springs which come to the surface at the base of the low- lying ridge which runs through the center of the city have figured in the city's name since at least the 1850s.

Benjamin Roskams viola Ashok Klouda cello
The members of the Artea Quartet met whilst studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London in 2001. After studies with the Amadeus, Alberni and Wihan quartets they went on to forge a successful career, winning many awards and performing at festivals throughout the UK including the BBC Proms, and at venues such as the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room as well as live broadcasts for BBC Radio 3.
In addition to their obvious love for quartet-playing the members of the Artea Quartet enjoy a diverse range of music-making on an individual level. Thomas Gould is a soloist and leader of Aurora Orchestra and Britten Sinfonia. Rhys Watkins is a member of the first violin section of the London Symphony Orchestra and also plays in the virtuoso violin duo 'Mazeppa' with his colleague from the orchestra, David Worswick. Benjamin Roskams is also an experienced orchestral musician, having worked extensively with the Philharmonia, London Philharmonic and London Symphony orchestras as well as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, of which he is a member of the first violin section. Ashok Klouda is a member of London International Players and cello octet Cellophony and is also Co-Founder/Director of the Highgate International Chamber Music Festival.


Yuki is shocked to realize that he hasn't really been struggling that much with Tohru's absence.
I'm proud of you, too, Yuki! You've discovered the wonders of a supportive network of friends (and a not-girlfriend).
When Kimi hears about Tohru's hospital stay, she (quite understandably) asks about her relationship with Yuki.
Leave it to Manabe to make everything more confusing and awkward.
But he has a good heart. Goofy and a little crass, but good.
I'm grateful to have someone who worries about me and supports me. That's why, even if I am weak, I want to be someone who doesn't wallow in their weakness. There were times when I wondered how many people would notice if I disappeared in a crowded place like this. But now, I'm a little different.
One thing that's harder to notice (since it's so gradual) is how self-aware Yuki's become. In the first few volumes, his development typically happened by "hijacking" another character's growth. Now he's starting to branch out and do his share of private reflection – not that it's bad to learn from or with others, but you can't be always relying on other people to learn things for you.
Then Machi calls him up out of the blue for a little impromptu gift exchange.
Actually, I don't care "how many" people would notice if I disappeared. If just "one person" noticed, that's all I'd need. Having "one person" is an incredible thing. After all, it's totally different than "zero." I was happy then too. I was so happy, it was almost embarrassing. Out of all the people, she found me. Me alone. And now too, someone other than myself is thinking about me. She's looking for me. That's not something I'll ever take for granted.
Machi actually got him some fertilizer.
Yuki: Thank you. It's exactly what I wanted…this means a lot to me.
And Yuki got her a Mogeta.
These two are adorable. And Machi also got a little get-well present for Tohru!
Machi: I wanted to thank Honda-senpai. I know it's none of my business, and I know I'm butting in, but…I'm just so happy that someone like you exists in this world. So if she's been protecting you, then I'm grateful. After all, even if you really are weak, like a fawn, I think that's why you were able to notice someone like me. That's why you talked to me. You've been there for me, President. You have no idea how much that means to me…!
This is why I ultimately found Yuki's relationship with Machi satisfying: Not only do they recognize one another's weaknesses, but they would never have connected apart from them. They know they can be vulnerable together, so they can also be strong together.
Machi: It kind of feels like we're crying at the edge of the world.
Yuki: Well, shall we go? (internally) Let's get a little closer to the center. This time, we'll be together.

The Deep History of Ourselves: The Four-Billion-Year Story of How We Got Conscious Brains (Unabridged)
Joseph LeDoux
Beschrijving uitgever
A leading neuroscientist offers a history of the evolution of the brain from unicellular organisms to the complexity of animals and human beings today
Renowned neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux digs into the natural history of life on earth to provide a new perspective on the similarities between us and our ancestors in deep time. This page-turning survey of the whole of terrestrial evolution sheds new light on how nervous systems evolved in animals, how the brain developed, and what it means to be human.
In The Deep History of Ourselves, LeDoux argues that the key to understanding human behavior lies in viewing evolution through the prism of the first living organisms. By tracking the chain of the evolutionary timeline he shows how even the earliest single-cell organisms had to solve the same problems we and our cells have to solve each day. Along the way, LeDoux explores our place in nature, how the evolution of nervous systems enhanced the ability of organisms to survive and thrive, and how the emergence of what we humans understand as consciousness made our greatest and most horrendous achievements as a species possible.

It feels like only yesterday in which this relatively new American "Swedish Chainsaw" [Swe-rican?] act released their first full length album, titled "Invocation of the Xenolith", and yet here we are already with their latest EP, "Celestial Gateway". While "Invocation of the Xenolith" is a good album, they've stepped up in a big way. I'll expound on this more in the next paragraph.
"Invocation of the Xenolith", which deservedly put Boethiah on the radar of anyone with an insatiable lust for savory HM-2 drenched riffs, felt rough around the edges. The album didn't have much of an organic feel to it, occasionally even seeming a bit directionless during later parts of the album. As such, Boethiah didn't really develop their own personality, instead relying heavily on the personality of their obvious influences. These notable flaws have been cast into the void, and although it may be a bit too 'nail-on-the-head', I'd like to assume said void is via a Celestial Gateway. What we are treated to here is a short-but-sweet album which shows Boethiah have gained the confidence and ability to inject their own personality in what has become a rather crowded style.
Undeniably a much more powerful force to be reckoned with now, Boethiah has refined their sound, naturally venturing to darker places. The hatred and rage felt in the riffs has intensified insurmountably, including some very moody leads that slither in and out of your sanity like tentacles. The drums work in a significantly more creative manner, giving the riffs an exo-skeletal structure of ebony mail. The vocals bellow with a power and authority that few are capable of withstanding, as if being projected by a great old one. The songs are generally mid-tempo heavyweights, a style which I feel Boethiah has now proven to be organically adept at. This package as a whole feels like an unseen hulking beast, something from beyond your worst nightmares, pummeling your soul relentlessly from alternate dimensions. You never see the beast, but you undeniably languish from its presence, and while the assaults may feel physical, only your own psyche ever suffers.
Indeed, the entities that comprise Boethiah have adapted lungs and learned to breathe. They have taken their time to mutate, to show you what they are truly capable of. They have metamorphosed from their husks and evolved into otherworldly beings not even Lovecraft himself could have imagined. While notable influences such as early Entombed and Grave are ever-present, you'd be hard-pressed to find a band playing Swedish Death Metal that doesn't proudly blend styles of such bands in their sound. My one gripe with Boethiah this time is that this album is just too damn short! I'm definitely looking forward to a new full-length from them, and with the impressive amount of maturing they've proven to be capable of in a short time-frame, I'm expecting something very impressive. Perhaps on the 2nd of Sun's Dusk.

I've been AWOL for a few weeks due to a number of things…moving house, work…life! This is from a few weeks back now, a weekend away in Somerset with some friends. I have always liked taking pictures of people from the perspective of them walking towards me. Immersed in conversation I like to see people engaged naturally rather than in a pose. I also like the fact that my friends are walking down hill with the scenary rising up behind them.

A warning from the chickens of the world
IN 1997, Lam Hoi-Ka, a previously healthy three-year-old boy, died of multiple organ failure in Hong Kong. When a team of virologists from the Netherlands declared that the death-dealing agent had been H5N1, a virus that was previously known to infect only birds, scientists were shocked. The theoretical possibility of a deadly global pandemic, similar to the 1918 flu that killed millions of people, was suddenly made real.
While scientists from around the world urgently tracked down the origins and initial spread of the new virus, the rest of us watched the television images of people in hazmat suits. What made these images confusing and alarming were the stories that accompanied them. In Hong Kong, a chicken-adapted virus had jumped directly to a person. For most people, chickens were "healthy, low-fat" meat you bought in plastic packages at the grocery store, not agents of mass death.
As a veterinarian and epidemiologist, I knew better. A decade before the H5N1 virus struck, I stood in a southern Ontario broiler barn—that is, a barn where chickens are grown for meat. In my plastic boots, white throwaway safety suit, and face mask, I gazed out over 10,000 identical birds. The room was spacious and the litter was clean. Delivery of food, water, and air was computer controlled. The birds were white feathered, plump, and only mildly curious about life. These were urban, office-dwelling birds. In five weeks, they could grow to the exact size required by KFC.
By the wonders of genetics and intensive breeding for specific traits, the fiercely wild stock of jungle fowl had been transformed into something that could grow faster, more uniformly, and by some standards, more efficiently. Between 1961 and 2017, world poultry meat production increased from 9 million to 122 million tons and egg production shot up from 15 million to 87 million tons. Since most of us experience a sort of cognitive dissonance when we see chickens and tons in the same sentence, let me rephrase this. In 1961, there were just over 3 billion people and just under 4 billion chickens in the world. In 2020, as I write this, about 7.7 billion people are jostling and shouting for space here, along with more than 20 billion chickens—and perhaps as many as 50 billion if one considers the short slaughter-and-restock turnover of those populations.
The fastest growth in commercial poultry production has been in the developing world. By the late 1990s, countries such as Indonesia and Brazil were increasing their commercial production by about 10 percent a year. When I was visiting South Sudan in 2012, just a few months after it gained independence following thirty years of civil war, I found "fresh" Brazilian chicken for sale in the market in Juba, the capital. China, already one of the world's biggest producers, was increasing at about 4 percent annually in the 1990s. Chickens were being grown, trucked, shipped, and fried as fast as the technology allowed. Who would have thought that so many people on this planet could be fed with such apparent ease?
The geneticists helped. These birds feeding the world weren't just any old chickens. In 2018, the authors of a peer-reviewed research paper declared that the "skeletal morphology, pathology, bone geochemistry and genetics" of modern commercial chickens—whose global body mass now exceeds that of all other birds combined—are so different from their ancestors that they may be considered a "novel morphotype."
But, in ecology—which is to say, in a world where everything is, sooner or later, connected to everything else—there are costs and trade-offs. According to that same paper, these new chickens symbolized "the unprecedented human reconfiguration of the Earth's biosphere"—a feat that would create the perfect conditions for barn-size outbreaks and then fit so neatly into a globally integrated system that would create the perfect conditions for pandemics. By the end of the twentieth century, epidemiologists who specialized in food-borne diseases were already well aware that a pandemic of salmonellosis, a disease with both immediate effects on the gastrointestinal system and long-term effects on arthritis and cardiovascular disease, was one of the hidden costs of mass producing chicken.
Salmonellosis could have been taken as a warning from the chickens of the world, a shot across the bow, as it were. The omen was not cryptic. It might have been something like: chickens carry their own bacterial and viral microbiomes; the economies of scale for chicken production are the same as the economies of scale for disease; small farms have outbreaks; big farms breed epidemics; globalization of big farms creates pandemics.
SOUTHEAST ASIAN farmers didn't scale up their production and increase the volume and speed of their trade in poultry products just "because"; they were responding to market demands for low-cost animal food. According to the United Nations, one in three people lived in a city in 1960. By the end of the twentieth century, almost half of all people did; by 2030, more than 60 percent of the population is expected to live in cities. Urban people want to eat, and most often, they want animal protein. Yet, without that rapid economic growth and urbanization, avian influenza would likely have remained a minor problem.
Brazil, the United States, China, and the European Union are the world's biggest poultry producers. China leads the world in ducks and geese. Other countries in Southeast Asia—Thailand in particular—wanted to take advantage of these expanding urban markets and jumped into the hot economic fray. In places such as Thailand and Indonesia, increased production has sometimes been achieved by taking traditional, laid-back, no-input chicken rearing and scaling it up. However, when waterfowl are mixed with chickens and pigs and people in close quarters—as can often happen in Southeast Asia—novel opportunities for the viruses are created, they become genetically more unstable, and evolution is accelerated.
In 1996, a precursor of the H5N1 virus killed some geese in southern China. No one paid much attention. Then the virus picked up some gene fragments from quail and ducks, spread to the poultry markets in Hong Kong, and made the leap to humans; it killed six of eighteen people who were infected. Mass killing of all the domestic poultry in Hong Kong temporarily stopped the problem, but the virus continued to infect ducks and geese and to happily, sloppily evolve. In late 2002, a new variation of the virus killed off most of the waterfowl in Hong Kong nature parks. In the next few years, the new, more lethal variant spread through Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, China, Malaysia—the whole regional market. Not only was it making birds sick and killing them but it was also infecting cats and ferrets and, finally, people.
In May and June of 2005, one of the new variants of H5N1 killed more than 5,000 wild bar-headed geese, gulls, and ducks in Qinghai Lake, China. Many researchers were worried that migratory birds would carry the virus down flyways into India. It looks as if they may have indeed carried the virus to Europe and Africa, but the evidence will always be ambiguous. However, it would be disingenuous to suggest that intensification and global genetic "homogenization" of poultry production have not been driving forces in a variety of epidemics, including H5N1.
KNOWLEDGE OF the social and ecological dimensions of food should be part of every food consumer's education. An inability to talk intelligently about where that food comes from should be grounds for dismissal of politicians and corporate heads.
Some pontificators, for example, have suggested that farmers in south and east Asia should raise chickens the way we do in North America and Europe—inside tightly controlled buildings. These people have never lived in poor countries in the humid tropics, nor do they understand the systemic ramifications of creating a few large farms where once there were many small ones. If they want biosecurity such as we have in Europe and North America, tropical farmers would need to close off the barns. But, in the tropics, without air conditioning, the birds would start to die within minutes. With what power source would they air-condition? And what would happen to all those poor farmers in the countryside who depend on small flocks of poultry for food and to pay their school and medical bills? Even if we kill all the sick chickens and put the rest into air-conditioned hotels, there will still be ducks flying overhead or cats or ferrets slinking in and out of the shrubbery. Some of the largest outbreaks of avian influenza have been in some of the best-managed poultry operations in the world, in some of the wealthiest countries. The viruses, like all microbes, adapt quickly to new situations.
In the years following the initial outbreaks of avian influenza, I spent a lot of time and energy working with policy makers in Canada, looking at how to prevent the disease from entering North America, and with farmers in Southeast Asia, looking for ways to stop the epidemic at the source. Many officials and corporate leaders were encouraging countries to follow a program of test-and-slaughter and of discouraging villagers from raising free-run village chickens. In March 2008, at a market in eastern Thailand, I discovered that, if sellers were responding to economic incentives, the programs designed to stop people from raising backyard chickens were unlikely to succeed. According to a woman with a dozen gutted and cleaned birds in front of her, village chicken was going for about twice as much on a per-weight basis as the commercially reared broilers.
The next month, at the invitation of my Indonesian coworkers, my wife and I visited a Javanese village in an area reported to be highly endemic for avian influenza. Of course, villagers who attended our workshop claimed to have had no confirmed cases of bird flu. Of course, any birds that died had succumbed to some other disease.
After the meeting, the villagers took us to see their chickens. Their greatest source of pride were their Ayam Pelung—competitive singing roosters. They were tall—about a metre high—and their calls were long, drawn out, low voiced, reminding me of Cesária Évora, the "barefoot diva" of Cape Verde. These singing roosters were each worth $2,000 to $3,000 (US), which was more than the annual income of most of these farmers. One of the farmers was a breeder who had sold roosters to buyers from as far away as Japan. A program that relied on slaughtering chickens that tested positive and paying compensation at market rates for commercial broilers was a nonstarter for these villagers.
I remembered, then, seeing a competition of Javanese singing roosters back in 1986. The birds were in cages, high up on swaying poles, judges moving from bird to bird, listening. Were they listening for omens? Warnings of a pandemic night just over the horizon?
I do not know what criteria the judges used, but standing there in the cool of a shady tropical morning, hearing those fado-like songs of love and loss, I yearned to believe, as the Zoroastrians did, that the calls of those jungle fowl might drive away the devils of the night.

You might have heard that raw milk is more nutritious and, therefore, better for your health. However, according to experts, pasteurized milk benefits include a longer shelf life, and there is no loss of nutritional value when milk is pasteurized.
Continue reading to learn more about pasteurized milk benefits, especially if you have been concerned about the effects of the pasteurization process on the nutritional value of the milk.
Experts have determined that milk that has been pasteurized is perfectly fine. According to The Western Producer, a bulletin released by the International Dairy Federation, which is based in Belgium, claims that pasteurization is safe and effective.
The process is necessary in the dairy industry in order to protect consumers from harmful bacteria that can cause a range of serious diseases.
Pasteurization is also used to eliminate other unwanted substances within raw milk, such as pus and blood cells, particularly because many dairy cows end up becoming ill or end up with conditions like mastitis.
In other words, to make milk safe to drink, pasteurization is a necessary step.
Even though some people have become worried about pasteurization killing off not only harmful bacteria, but also nutrients within milk, experts claim that pasteurization only has a small impact on protein, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and fat in cow's milk.
Beyond that, pasteurization ensures a longer shelf life for milk. It lengthens the amount of time that milk can be in transit, in stores, and in your refrigerator before it spoils.
Bottom line: if you were going to consume raw milk, you would basically be doing it at your own risk, as it contains harmful organisms that can make you seriously ill, and you might also find that it will not last nearly as long as milk that has been pasteurized.

On the centenary of the Balfour Declaration the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) launches its latest publication titled "Giving Away Other People's Land, The Making of the Balfour Declaration".
With the 1917 Balfour Declaration, Palestine became the victim of European colonialism, as Britain promised to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine where the indigenous Palestinians amounted to over ninety percent of the total population.
This report provides an in-depth analysis of the motivations and dynamics that culminated in the creation of the Balfour Declaration.
The research is based primarily on archival documents from the National Archives in Kew Gardens, London. The reports begins with illustrating the objections to the Zionist project to settle in Palestine, strongly advocated by anti-Zionist British Jews.
Contrary to the mainstream view that Britain had benevolent motivations in drafting the Declaration evidence in the archives proves that British government ministers used political Zionism to advance their own imperial ambitions.
The report also explores the accusation that the British ruling elite were anti-Semitic and thus driven by an age-long ambition to expel their Jewish communities. Lastly, this study argues that both the British government and the Zionist movement used Orientalist ideology to justify the dispossession of Palestinians from their lands.
This publication is of relevance to academics, students, policy makers and activists interested in the history and politics of British imperialism, settler colonialism, Zionism, Israel and the question of Palestine.

U.N. considers banning thimerosal from vaccines
Health experts argue that banning the preservative could make it difficult for children in developing countries to get life-saving vaccines.

Remember the hub-bub over thimerosal - the vaccine preservative that many thought was connected to autism? Ten years ago, parents demanded that the preservative be removed from vaccines after a British study concluded that it might in some way be connected to the onset of autism. Over the years, countless large studies have disproved this original study and found no link between the preservative and autism. Experts even found and proved that the original study was flawed and possibly even intentionally biased. And further studies found that removing thimerosal in the U.S.... and Europe did nothing to change autism rates in those regions.
Still, despite policy statements from the U.S.... Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the World Health Organization endorsing the use of thimerosal in vaccines, there is once again a movement afoot to ban it at the international level. Even claiming that it is racist and elitist not to do so. Thus, the U.N.. is now considering banning thimerosal from vaccines and expects to make a decision on the issue sometime after a final meeting in January.
In the U.S..., thimerosal is not used in any vaccines that are distributed in single-dose vials, with the exception of certain types of flu shots. But in countries with fewer resources - such as electricity and refrigeration - and where many children still die from diseases that could have been prevented with a vaccine, it's cheaper and easier for health care workers to use multi-dose vials of vaccines. Using thimerosal in the vaccine helps to prevent the remainder of a vaccine from becoming contaminated with bacteria or fungi each time a dose is used.
Still, some humanitarian groups, such as the U.S...-based SafeMinds have argued that it is unethical to allow thimerosal in vaccines headed to developing nations while removing it from vaccines in the U.S.... and Europe.
But experts argue that banning thimerosal could increase the cost of vaccines for developing nations by anywhere from two to five times and make transporting and storing vaccines that much more difficult as well. The bottom line: Kids could die.
And that seem pretty unethical to me.

ROMELU LUKAKU has decided to return to Chelsea - and claims an agreement has already been reached to make the deal happen.
ROMELU LUKAKU is reportedly a major transfer target for several clubs this summer - but where will he end up by the end of the transfer window?
Lukaku said: "I'm waiting for a call. My agent is handling the talks. I'm waiting for a phone call.
"The most important thing is, I want to win trophies. We are now talking to the club.
"What I would like most is to play in the Champions League and try to win the Premier League once. Or better, a few times.
Chelsea have won two league titles and the League Cup since Lukaku left in 2014 and are planning an assault on Europe next season.
Everton are already planning for life without him by targeting Malaga striker Sandro Ramirez and Arsenal misfit Lucas Perez.
