Andrei Eshpai was born on 15 May 1925 in the city of Kozmodemynsk on the Volga River in the autonomous republic of Mari of the RSFSR. His father, Yakov Andreevich Eshpai (1890-1963), was one of Mari's first professional composers. He was also a choral conductor, folklorist and educator. He composed the first Mari instrumental works, collected the folksongs of his region, and for many years was on the faculty of the Mari National Institute of Language, Literature and History in Ioshkar-Ola (the capital of the Mari Republic). With this background it is no wonder that Eshpai went on after studies with Miaskovsky not just to eminence but to a position of some affection among listeners in the know.
The phantasmagorical Concerto for Orchestra is at first a sort of �Rhapsody in glowing Red� (rather than Blue). Hyper-active textures, febrile activity and blazing jazziness are its hallmarks. The effect can be summarised as Shostakovich's Preludes and Second Piano Concerto meet William Schuman meets Rite of Spring meets Bernstein's Candide. The jazziness suggests acquaintance with the works of Nikolai Kapustin whose piano concertos we also need to hear. After hectic rushing action (which is to return in the last five minutes of this succinct work) you can relax into a great lush bed of healing string sound at 3.45. It is here that the jazz-muted trumpet sings a querulous melody somewhere between Nights in the Gardens of Spain and Borodin's steppes. The double bass sidles unapologetically onto the scene and yearns along to the same theme. It is much to Rodion Azarhin's credit that he makes such a touching contribution (7.37). The wide-striding brass, strings and percussion and blaring triumph of the finale is gloriously enjoyable. It is like a cross between Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances and Gershwin.
The Second Piano Concerto is in three short movements is aggressive and full of impact and fire chased rhythmic action. The level of dissonance is high in comparison to the Concerto for Orchestra. While the symphony and the Concerto for Orchestra are in stereo this is in mono - vivid and gaudily lit.
The Seventh Symphony (I believe that it is the latest) emerges from a sour malcontented dissonance soon embracing a hushed lyricism warmed by consolation. There are no popular culture invasions here unlike The Circle. The Symphony is a serious-minded and extremely concentrated piece. At 8.30 meditation is cast aside and a vexed irritable and gritty velocity bubbles to the surface. At 13.00 the music settles back into quietude with vibraphone and xylophone colouring the scenery. A heroic determination empowers the swaying power of the craggy brass line running strongly from 18.10 onwards. I find it intriguing that the contemporaneous concertos for Flute and Double Bass are much more dissonant than this work. The Symphony is much closer to Rubbra and Boiko than to the wilder shores of Krennikhov or Vainberg. This is a very fine work indeed being wonderfully sustained across 33 minutes. Highly recommended. The conductor as for the other two works on this disc is Yevgeny Svetlanov. While the other two works come from LP-era recordings this one is quite new.
If you like driven and neon dramatic music this is for you. Into the bargain you get recordings of two world premiere live events.

Immunotherapy Use Not Associated with Increased Risk of Death in Patients with Cancer and COVID-19
Ryan McDonald
More than half of the patients (61%) admitted to either the hospital or ICU were discharged and 12% remained in the hospital. Nine patients had died by the time data collection was cut off for this study.
The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with cancer and COVID-19 was not associated with an increased risk of death, according to data from a retrospective analysis.
"To what extent immune checkpoint inhibition [affects] COVID-19 infection in patients with cancer is unclear," lead study author Aljosja Rogiers, a medical oncology fellow at Melanoma Institute Australia, said during a presentation of the data during the 2020 AACR Virtual Meeting: COVID-19 and Cancer. "Theoretically, inhibition could either mitigate or exacerbate COVID-19 infection. This study was designed to help us answer this question."
The multicenter analysis included data from 113 patients with a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 across treatment centers in North America, Europe and Australia. Patients included in the analysis had received treatment with an immunotherapy agent within 12 months of testing positive for the infection.
Most of the patients (82%) in the analysis received an anti—PD-1 or anti–PD-L1 agent to treat their cancer. Thirteen percent of the patients received a combination of an anti–PD-1 agent and an anti–CTLA-4 drug. The remaining 5% of patients received another, unclassified, immunotherapy drug. Chemotherapy was not used to treat any of the patients.
Assessing hospital and ICU admission, as well as mortality, was the main goal of the study.
As of May 15, 2020, the median age of patients in the analysis was 63 years and more than half (65%) were male. More than half of the patients (64%) were from Europe, 33% were from North America and 3% were from Australia.
Sixty percent of the patients presented with symptoms of COVID-19. Individuals in the study who were asymptomatic were tested if they had contact with someone who tested positive for the infection.
The most common symptoms that occurred in patients with symptoms of COVID-19 included, but were not limited to, fever (68%) and cough (59%). Patients within the study were diagnosed with either melanoma (57%), non-small cell lung cancer (17%), renal cell carcinoma (9%) or another type of cancer (17%). Most of the cases (74%) were treated in the advanced setting.
Twenty-nine percent of patients were admitted to the hospital as a result of a COVID-19 infection. Various forms of treatment were administered to treat the infection, including, but not limited to, antibiotics (25%), oxygen therapy (20%) and glucocorticoids (10%). Five percent of patients were admitted to the ICU, of which, 3% were placed on a mechanical ventilator.
Assessment of mortality outcome showed that 92% of patients with cancer and COVID-19 were alive and that 8% died.
None of the nine patient deaths were attributed to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Seven of the deaths were a result of COVID-19 and all patients who died while on the study had advanced cancer.
Two of the patients who died had melanoma, two had non-small cell lung cancer, two had renal cell carcinoma and three had another type of cancer. The median age of patients who died was 72 years.
"Median age of the patients who died was slightly higher [than in the general population," Rogiers concluded. "Although the numbers are small, they may indicate that COVID-19 has a slightly higher mortality rate in patients with non—small cell lung cancer than melanoma, given that 57% of patients had melanoma and 17% of patients had non–small cell lung cancer."

Staff photo by Hannah LaClaire From left, attorney Terri Donovan and Nashua Teacher's Union representation Adam Marcoux and Patty Gagnon consult during Thursday's meeting, which lasted nearly five hours.
NASHUA – Paraeducators, secretaries and food service workers in the Nashua School District finished the school year on Friday after Board of Education members conducted a nearly five-hour meeting on Thursday to debate the matter.
Ultimately late Thursday, the board agreed with the grievance brought forth by the Nashua Teachers' Union, therefore, waiving Monday as a day of work for the service employees.
When the last day for students was set as Friday, and the last for staff as Monday, the board waived Monday for the teachers. Monday was offered to the other three bargaining units as a voluntary professional development/safety training opportunity that they could work for compensation, take as a personal day, or simply not get paid.
The teachers got the safety training during the second half of the day Friday.
The NTU requested that Monday be waived for the hourly employees, as it had been for the teachers, and referenced the 2016-2017 school year, during which two days had been waived.
After nearly five hours in the grievance hearing, the board deliberated and sided with the union by a slim margin, with three "yes" votes from Doris Hohensee, Heather Raymond and Elizabeth Van Twuyver, two "no" votes from Gloria Timmons and Raymond Guarino, along with an abstention from board President Dotty Oden, who has a daughter working in the district. Members Howard Coffman, Susan Porter and Bill Mosher were absent.
Waiving the day for the remaining units will essentially "cost" the district an estimated $57,000. However, union attorney Terri Donovan said that aside from the food service workers, whose budget is dependent largely on meal transactions, that money has already been budgeted for those employees.
District Chief Operating Officer Daniel Donovan said during his witness testimony that he personally believes it is bad practice to pay people for not working and that any revenue remaining, such as $57,000 can be redistributed to other areas.
What it came down to, Hohensee said after the vote, was equity and respect. The units work as a team, she said, and if they waive the day for teachers, they should waive it for all employees.
Raymond agreed, adding that for her, the decision to vote in favor of the union was "not so much about feelings," but about the contract language and the fact that working conditions were changed without proper negotiations.
The last day of school conversation began in January and did not wrap up until May, and by then the district had eight inclement weather days to work around in determining the schedule. During that time, according to the grievance, there were several options presented and ongoing negotiations for much of that time until May 8, at which time the decision was made by the board that hourly employees would work on June 25 if they wanted to be paid.
No further negotiations were made, despite NTU President Adam Marcoux's claims that he attempted to address concerns regarding contract violations.
For the hearing Thursday, several paraeducators, secretaries and food service workers sat in the audience, waiting, wearing "NTU blue" in solidarity. They sat for just shy of five hours, while Superintendent Jahmal Mosley, Marcoux, their respective counsel and the board debated the issue.


The United States and the Republic of India jointly announced they will co-host the eighth annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) in Hyderabad, India on November 28-30 via a series of tweets on August 10. Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump will lead the U.S. delegation to the Summit, which will focus on supporting women entrepreneurs, solving 21st century challenges, and fostering economic growth globally.
President Donald J. Trump first announced the Summit during the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the White House on June 26, 2017. This year's Summit will focus on four key business sectors: Energy and Infrastructure, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Financial Technology and Digital Economy, and Media and Entertainment. Under the larger theme, Women First, Prosperity for All, GES 2017 will highlight how investing in women entrepreneurs not only fuels economic growth, but also drives innovation to address the critical challenges communities are facing worldwide. When women do better, countries do better; and women's economic participation creates greater economic opportunities and stability for all, including in the United States.
Organized annually since 2010, GES has become a preeminent annual gathering that provides over 1,000 emerging entrepreneurs with exceptional networking, insight, and investment opportunities. Through two and half days of training and mentoring sessions, networking, and investment matchmaking, the United States and India will forge new collaborations and launch new initiatives, while reducing the barriers inhibiting international growth and innovation. GES empowers entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas, build partnerships, secure funding, and create innovative goods and services that will transform societies.
This year marks the first time GES will be hosted in South Asia, which underscores the broad and enduring partnership between the United States and the Republic of India.

Q: Making java application as plugin to browser i wold like to develop an java application which has to be embed in Browser, could you please let me know is there way??

A: There are different ways to do this, but my recommendation would be to use the Google Web Toolkit. With the Google Web Toolkit, Java code is compiled to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and is executed as a web app within the browser. While you can, in theory, use Java applets, they do not integrate well with native browser functionality, have undesireable security properties, and are much more commonly disabled (due to the potential security issues) than other types of browser functionality. Whereas Java applets definitely are not first class citizens in browsers, HTML/CSS/JavaScript are, so with the Google Web Toolkit, you can write in Java but have your code treated like a first class citizen in most browsers.

A: See Applet

A: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/
this should help you out

Call me simple, but I am confused about why, or even whether, North Korea will denuclearize.
As we all know, North Korea is a dictatorship. Worse yet, it is an inconceivably brutal dictatorship in the mold of Stalin. Such a system can survive only as long as it crushes any and every hint of dissent within its borders. Moreover, that kind of tyranny must be tightly organized, with a potentate at its center, surrounded by a ring of accomplices.
It is these accomplices whom the dictator must be wary of. He must keep them constantly pitted against each other, lest they pit themselves against him. It is a delicate balance. The ministers and generals must be kept in terror of Kim Jong-un but not in panic. Panic leads to desperation, and if the evil ones who are closest to power feel that they are about to lose their safe positions, they will turn whatever weapons they have against the tyrant.
So far, the Kim dynasty has remained in power for decades, with ruthlessness, bluster, and military might. If Kim stumbles in any of these three legs of his throne, then he is a dead man, as well he knows. His minions are every bit the sociopathic murderers he is. That is their value to Kim, and that is also the danger he faces from them. He faces it every minute of every day. He never forgets that.
Therein lies the enigma. Consider the following.
After having made such a dramatic show of nuclear saber-rattling, Kim cannot simply walk away. He would be seen for the fraud he is, the paper tiger, the bombastic fool. He would lose at least a large measure of his image of power. He has too many enemies inside North Korea to concede any weakness. Some of his closest thugs will feel betrayed if he yields to any threat, even the very real threat of losing a cataclysmic war. They will, in panic, cling to any straw rather than face the hordes of victimized peasants eager for vengeance. They know that once the general population of North Korea senses weakness at the top, it will strike.
Kim's only hope is that somehow the United States, South Korea, or China will keep him in power inside North Korea, where he can continue to plunder and torment the nation's people. Surely, Kim knows that such an arrangement can be only temporary. How long will the U.S. tolerate a mass-murdering dictator once his power begins to unravel? Can we supply him with the implements of torture, in order to retain the imprisonment of the North Korean people?
I don't know. Perhaps there is some bizarre scheme that would do just that.

Powerlist: Black Dutch diplomat Arthur Kibbelaar sees artists as barometers of society
Posted by Afro-Europe on December 21, 2012
Arthur Kibbelaar, Consul for Press and Cultural Affairs at the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York, will become the new director of Foreign Relations of the island Curaçao at end of this year.
Kibbelaar, who was born in Curaçao, worked at the European Union in Brussels, but also in very different countries such as Serbia, Nicaragua and Burundi. "The experiences there, in the midst of war and poverty, made me aware of the need to invest in frameworks that holds a society together, " he explains in an interview with the newspaper Amigoe.
Arthur Kibbelaar is a product of the anti-colonial 1969 Curaçao uprising. "The revolt of 1969 was not for nothing a turning point, " he says. "It was the start for the children of 1969, the Afro-Curaçaoens, of a black middle class.
The Kibbelaars, brothers and sisters of my father reaped the fruits of the revolution and ended up in nursing, education and became members of the trade unions. My uncle was the first black governor."
Listing will be my mission says the new Director of Foreign Relations. "You have to start listening what people think of themselves and what the aspirations are of this new country. You translate who, or what you want to be to your image. I will first listen internally and then I will expand the circles further and further, it's a never ending process."
Artists are also important for Kibbelaar, he sees them as the barometers of a society. "Culture is one of the main pillars of the identity of a country, but we are insufficient aware of this. Artists tell the story, they are the interpreters of the identity. Sometimes it's fun, but sometimes it rubs. "

A World Without Work
Technology, Automation, and How We Should Respond
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
From an Oxford economist, a visionary account of how technology will transform the world of work, and what we should do about it
From mechanical looms to the combustion engine to the first computers, new technologies have always provoked panic about workers being replaced by machines. For centuries, such fears have been misplaced, and many economists maintain that they remain so today. But as Daniel Susskind demonstrates, this time really is different. Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence mean that all kinds of jobs are increasingly at risk.
Drawing on almost a decade of research in the field, Susskind argues that machines no longer need to think like us in order to outperform us, as was once widely believed. As a result, more and more tasks that used to be far beyond the capability of computers – from diagnosing illnesses to drafting legal contracts, from writing news reports to composing music – are coming within their reach. The threat of technological unemployment is now real.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, Susskind emphasizes. Technological progress could bring about unprecedented prosperity, solving one of humanity's oldest problems: how to make sure that everyone has enough to live on. The challenges will be to distribute this prosperity fairly, to constrain the burgeoning power of Big Tech, and to provide meaning in a world where work is no longer the center of our lives. Perceptive, pragmatic, and ultimately hopeful, A World Without Work shows the way.
Daniel Susskind:
Daniel Susskind is the coauthor, with Richard Susskind, of The Future of the Professions, named as one of the best books of the year by the Financial Times, New Scientist, and the Times Literary Supplement. He is a fellow in economics at Balliol College, Oxford University. Previously, he worked in the British government – as a policy adviser in the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit, as a policy analyst in the Policy Unit in 10 Downing Street, and as a senior policy adviser in the Cabinet Office.

Q: Using nth-child to create alternating background colors in WordPress loop I have a WordPress loop that contains three post types (recipes, events, posts). My goal is to assign a background color of #e4dfce to every other post in the loop to the following class: .lb-wrapper
I currently have it working exactly how I want using the following code but I would like to use nth-child instead of nth-of-type.
.recipe:nth-of-type(odd), .event:nth-of-type(odd), .post:nth-of-type(odd) .lb-wrapper {
    background-color: #e4dfce;
}
I have tried this but it does not work:
.lb-wrapper:nth-child(odd) {
    background-color: #e4dfce;
}
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A: Your code mentioned below is fine can you provide a link to your website or a jsfiddle. This might just be a css conflict with other defined style
.lb-wrapper:nth-child(odd) { background-color: #e4dfce; }

A: The developer of the LoopBuddy plugin that I am using to create my WordPress loop provided the following solution to my problem:
.loop-content .hentry:nth-child(2n+1) {background-color: #e1771e;}

Additional comments from developer: "You're not using the selector properly. Your code assumes that "inside the lb-wrapper class, there are several occurrences". However, you want to target all occurrences of the lb-post-wrapper class "inside" another class, such as the loop."


The beginning for this thread talks about this problem occuring when the top is up - has anyone also heard the click with the top down - is the strap even under tension with the top down? I have been chasing an intermittent click from the same area on the driver's side, with the top both up and down, for the last year with my dealer ('07 987S). Nothing the dealer has tried worked for more than a week. Having just now read this thread, I plan to try your remedy.
I rarely hear squeaks or noises with the top down but periodically I do hear a click that seems to come from behind me on the drivers side. I hear with or without the wind screens in or out. There so much stuff back there with the top down I have no idea what it could be but it is very infrequent. As to the clicking noise with the top up in cold weather it returned about a month after I sprayed the area mentioned above. Haven't been driving it now since its winter but the spray seemed to do the trick and that is how the dealer eliminated the issue on the passenger side. It doesn't seem to occur with bumps but rather with some combination of body flex on the right side of the car. I never hear it on the highway. The dealer is happy to sort through it but doesn't have much luck in duplicating it.
One source of noises with the top down is the little rubber bumpers that protrude from the back of the roll bar on either side. The top rubs against them. A little lubricant solves that problem.
I have a similar noise that has been getting worse, have tried putting silicone on lots of different parts to no avail, I notice that if I undo the roof locking handle the noise goes away regardless of how rough the road is. Does anyone have complete diagrams of all the moving parts in the softop?.
Porsche tell me there is a fix for the cracking noise, a new felt part for the roof, I should have it installed next week will post how it goes.
Let us know. Mine's gotten worse and the lubricant fix does nothing at this point. I plan to take it into the dealer but they can never figure it out so a fix from Porsche would be nice.
New to the forum but interested to know that other Boxster drovers have experienced the same problem. I had mine checked by Porsche West London this week and they lubricated the plastic seals around the top of the windows. This has improved things but not got rid of the problem completely. I would be interested to know who in Porsche told you that a fix was available.
If someone comes across info on the official fix, do post up as i'd be interrested to see how they solved it.
I notice that if I undo the roof locking handle the noise goes away regardless of how rough the road is.
This particular problem I solved by lubricating the latch mechanism.
I had this same issue and simply stuck a round piece of felt to both sides of the strap in the location shown in red. It seemed to do the trick and my noise was really bad.
I've had my hardtop on all winter so had forgotten about this. Today after a few weeks of putting up with the annoying clicks and squeaks coming from the roof I decided to investigate further. I smeared silicone grease on the parts shown in the picture posted earlier in this thread, on both sides. I also greased the rubber/plastic joints where the side frame folds.
Hi guys, I've been having this problem since pretty much day one. Took delivery in January 2008.
Mine makes the clicking noise on the left side of the car and recently it's been getting bad. It used to be intermittent but it's pretty much clicking all the time now. On rainy days when the roof was wet, the noise disappeared.
Just had a look at my roof in the service position after reading this thread and noticed that my 2007 S comes with the felt piece stuck to the brace. The piece of triangular fabric in question also looks quite worn. I smeared some super lube on both sides of the fabric and onto the felt sticker. Wish I could go out for a test drive now but my fog lights are fogged up and have been removed for drying.
Edit: Ok, as with the other places I've tried to lube, after a couple of miles the noise slowly but surely makes its appearance again. Gonna get a can of silicone lube spray and give it another go.
Ok. Lube and felt didn't work for me. Today I covered up that triangular fabric piece with duct tape and the silence was unbelievable. Even drove with the top up in good weather with the radio off to enjoy the silence.

Hello, thank you very much for all the great information!
Beeferino, can we trouble you to post pics and instructions on how to make this fix?
I just simply followed the diagrams supplied by Popolou and dschulenberg. Instead of putting lubricant or a felt pad sticker (my car came fitted with a felt sticker on the part of the roof frame touching the rubbery fabric piece), I wrapped duct tape round the rubbery fabric piece. it's a little tricky maneuvering the duct tape in there with 1 side sticky, and without taking apart the whole fabric roof. Maybe you can try sticking the tape on some wax paper first, getting it in, then pulling the paper out when you are ready for final application.
I've attached some pictures where I'm pointing to the offending fabric piece and the duct tape can be seen. In the second picture, I'm pulling the roof off the B pillar slightly so more of the fix is exposed.
Hope you solve the problem. It almost drove me mad trying to figure out what it is and rectifying it.
Had the dealer try to fix the sound when I took the car in again for its annual checkup and it seems to be fixed. They lubricated everything in the top but also cut out a small portion of the wide grey strap (3A) shown in the photos in this thread where it was frayed a bit on the edge closest to the front of the car. The left side closest to the bump in dschulenbergs post. On the driver side where the noise was the most frequent it even showed signs of being folded or compressed on itself on this edge. It's the same spot where the felt pads were placed by dschulenberg. It's been quiet ever since. From all of the fixes in this thread the noise seems to be related to this strap (3A) getting caught on the protrusion in the metal frame it is attached to resulting in something clicking in the top. With this small amount cut out it is quiet as can be for now. The dealer couldn't replicate the sound and showed no interest in the notes from Seddy that I gave them: "Install special order parts on top Bow; Reqork Bow adjust fit of top, adjust frame to body fit.
Part 987-561-927-00 F-kit felt strip" The dealer lubricated before without cutting the strap but the noise always came back so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Interesting solution of cutting out a portion of that piece. I grew impatient waiting for a free slot for it to be looked at at the dealer's. And for these noise issues, they would go down all possible avenues, which would prob necessitate a few trips. And since I tried the solution myself, I don't want to risk cutting anything out. Maybe sticking a strip of duct tape on that edge of the rubbery fabric piece would have the same effect as a felt sticker.
By closest to the front of the car, you mean the upper edge when the roof is in the service position?
On a related note, I cracked the B pillar gasket while trying to lube the area where it contacted the frame. It still is watertight but I want to get it replaced. Anyone have an idea of taking those 2 torx T15 screws that hold it in place at the bottom of the B pillar? The rest of the frame is held in by 5 or 6 T15 screws which are easy to get out, but the bottom 2 seem to require some dismantling of the door gasket or the use of an angled torx driver.
If you look at the picture on the prior page it was frayed exactly where the red felt pads were placed. That's were a small part was cut out by the dealer.
Install special order parts on top Bow; Rework Bow adjust fit of top, adjust frame to body fit.
Part 987-561-927-00 F-kit felt strip.
I have no problems with the top since this was done, no noise at all, and as it has been summer it has been up and down a lot of times. I should look to see exactly what it is they changed.
I just had to be sure that all surfaces that the strap is in contact with were sufficiently covered to prevent any contact with the plastic. Other than that and how always it's the case, a pain to discover but simple to remedy.
OMG. This is by FAR the best thread I've read. For 2 years now i've had this very exact cracking noise and nobody (dealers) knew where it came from. It just tried your fix and it took all of 5 minutes and 2 bucks. Sound is now GONE.

The normally off peak viewing figures for BBC 1's flagship discussion programme "Question Time" of around 2 million quadrupled due to the much hyped presence of Nick Griffin, MEP, the leader of the BNP. The brouhaha and the demos had of course contributed to this rise much more than the gentleman himself.
What the viewers saw was a spectacle, a circus – in the original Roman sense of that word – Mr Griffin was throughout the programme the exclusive object of excoriation from his fellow panel members, and the audience – selected of course by the BBC. The chairman himself was inquisitorial in his manner so far as Griffin was concerned – a manner not carried over to the other panel members.
Mr. Griffin was destined to be the whipping boy that evening. Of course, he did not help himself for he carried around the baggage of his past, namely his connections with the National Front and his previous utterances upon such issues as the holocaust. These came back to haunt him – as they were always going to do. His problem was however compounded by the way he sought to handle them by seeking to side step the issue. In that environment he must have known that was a hopeless course. There was of course never going to be for him a way escaping unscathed. His was a "no-win" scenario. In those circumstances Mr Griffen's tactic should have been open and honest candour. Admit that he had once held such views but had some time ago understood how wrong he had been and was now of a different belief, that he is older and wiser than the youth of the 1970s. Of course, this would be on the assumption that his change of belief was genuine and not a charade.

The political value of 'do' versus 'don't'
The Greens, about to change co-leader at Queen's Birthday weekend, have a choice. Do they stay a "don't" party or do they become a "do" party? The time is ripe.
Greens are a mixture of joy and gloom: joy in their own lives, lived according to principle; gloom about the rest of us, slurping up the planet's goodies.
A couple of years back, they were running high. Al Gore's film got people excited and worried about global warming. Helen Clark made "sustainability" the centrepiece of her government's rebranding. It was at last easy being Green.
The Gore effect wore off. The Greens' mired Clark in a whacking/smacking controversy. The economy edged off its highs, then slid into recession. Immediate economic climate change supplanted the distant atmospheric version in pubs and clubs.
The Greens did a bit better in the election than in 2005. But that could be put down to Labour's slide. Liberal-leftists didn't have to worry that voting Green might keep Labour out of office. It was going out anyway.
Nevertheless, there was a small but significant change — in the Greens' advertising. The impersonal "planet" was still there, to be saved (though actually it will long outlast humans). But voters were also invited to vote for a girl — a person, with a human future.
Those advertisements invited voters to vote for doing something, to assure a good future for children. Saving the planet, by contrast, is a call to stop doing things. "Do" versus "don't".
There are "don't" constituencies. Winston Peters founded his party on immigration, economic and Treaty of Waitangi "don'ts". His "do's" came late and were for the old. The Maori party is more "don't" than "do" — understandable, given the long struggle to regain status. Hone Harawira's anger infuses his politics.
But most voters, however grumpy, go for "do" more than they go for "don't". That is part of John Key's sunny success (so far — avoidable mistakes are beginning to accumulate): he is upbeat. Had Clark and the Greens been able to present the whacking/smacking initiative as good for children instead of, as conservatives painted it, bad for adults, it might have been a voting plus, not a minus.
Apocalypse is a minority taste. It can be exciting but the only response is repentance and reform, which implies error and, worse, sin.
But right now there is an opportunity for the Greens. The global economy — and especially in the rich west — is in trouble. The most likely engine of recovery is the east Asian economies. They have financial reserves and their consumers are not loaded with debt they must pay down.
New Zealand shares the rich world's awful household debt and has a whopping country debt on top. But, on a long list of comparative advantages, it has resources, energy and a to-die-for green brand, which can be a building block in recovery.
The Greens have spent more time identifying our disregard for the brand, epitomised in declining water quality, than identifying how to make economic use of it.
The "Green stimulus package" launched on Friday was refreshingly upbeat. It aims to create assets and cut economic (and other) costs with a raft of costed initiatives, many of which make economic sense as well as green sense: efficient use of energy, for example; insulation of houses; renewable electricity generation (a long-term winner).
It is mainly a "do" package, focusing on energy and transport efficiency, waterways, state houses and community initiatives, with forestry to come. Outgoing co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons reels off examples of production lifts on farms which fence off water areas and re-vegetate their surrounds. The package proposes subsidies for that sort of action.
The message is to use state funds to create lasting assets which have long-term economic and other benefits.
To underline that, a parallel is claimed with the United States 1930s "new deal", which it says was "an integrated programme of activity". Its roads and dams had a lasting economic benefit.
Actually the new deal was see-what-works and stop-start and drove the recovery less than did a burst of innovation and productivity growth. And for President Franklin Roosevelt the market was to rule: his role was to restore its health, not supplant it.
The Greens remain suspicious of the market, especially the global market. They vote against free trade agreements while making much of environmental interconnectedness. They seem to see economic systems as in some manner artificial but ecosystems as organic.
They have yet to grasp and push the full entrepreneurial potential of ecosystem services, which include offsets to "dirty" activities, using conservation land as branding for high-end natural products, maintaining biodiversity and selling ecosystem management skills.
But the package is a shift.
There is money to be made in green economics. This is a propitious time. It secures the clean-green brand. It offers Greens scope to shift their image from "don't" to "do".

Porsche GT3 Cup Canada Primed for Big Stage at Canadian Grand Prix
For the 13 drivers in the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama series, their dreams will be realized this weekend as they get behind the wheel of their cars during a Formula One weekend at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Rounds 5 and 6 of the 2018 Porsche GT3 Cup Canada season are on tap this Saturday and Sunday at Montreal's 2.71-mile Circuit Gilles Villeneuve . The two 45-minute sprint races are scheduled alongside the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, which will see superstars such as Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel at an event the country has hosted at various locations since 1961.
The significance of the weekend clearly isn't lost on the Porsche GT3 Cup Canada drivers.
"Being able to race at such an historic track has an electric feeling in which only the lucky few get to experience," said Michael Fantin, driver of the No. 14 Engineered Automotive Porsche. "For me, racing during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend has always been a dream to achieve. "
Roman De Angelis in the No. 78 Mark Motors Racing Porsche knows the feeling.
"It's still hard for me to believe that I have watched all my favorite drivers there since I was a kid and am now experiencing it for myself," 17-year-old De Angelis said. "It truly is a dream for me.
"The track, the fans, the venue and just downtown Montreal with all of the Grand Prix weekend excitement is really fun to experience. To be a driver surrounded by thousands of fans, and on such an amazing track with so much history, really makes this one special. I think most of us drivers would agree it's for sure on the top of the list."
However, drivers can't afford to get lost in the fanfare that comes with a F1 weekend. In fact, the scale of the event – which also includes support series Ferrari Challenge and Formula Tour 1600 – limits the track time drivers will get in their Porsche.
"It's a very fast track, which makes it that much better and provides for real good racing and lots of great spots to pass," said De Angelis, who has previous experience at the circuit in F1600. "It's also much more technical than it seems, so to get it right and to be fast takes not only skill, but very precise setup from the team. Since we don't have a lot of track time, you really need to get it right and get up to speed right out of the box."
Because, after all, there is a Porsche GT3 Cup Canada championship at stake. Following the checkered flag of Sunday's race, the season will be halfway complete with just six rounds remaining across three race weekends.
Leading the championship is Zach Robichon in the No. 98 Porsche for Mark Motors Racing, as the Ottawa native has won the first four races of 2018. Robichon's four victories puts him 20 points ahead of his teammate De Angelis and 24 points ahead of OpenRoad Racing's Remo Ruscitti in the No. 96.
Adding to the festivities surrounding the Canadian Grand Prix, Porsche will be hosting its first ever "Sports Car Together Day" in celebration of the marque's 70th anniversary in 2018. Porsche invites fans to share their #SportscarTogether moment with fellow Porsche fanatics on social media, as well as at Porsche locations around the world.
"Montreal is just an unreal event," Robichon described. "It's going to be extra special because Porsche is going to be celebrating 'Sports Car Together' that weekend. We're racing a Porsche on 'Sports Car Together' weekend in Montreal at the F1 race where we're having the biggest event for Porsche Canada. This weekend is going to be surreal for us, so I'm really looking forward to it."
Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama activity kicks off on Friday, June 8 with two practice sessions, followed by Race 1 qualifying at 6 p.m. ET. Drivers will take the green flag on Saturday for Race 1 at 4:30 p.m. and for Race 2 on Sunday at 10:15 a.m. Fans onsite will be able to meet the drivers during a driver autograph session at the Yokohama Tire Service Center at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Bhutan is the last Himalayan Buddhist culture to have survived globalization. The culture remains vibrant and the environment pristine as Bhutan continues to thrive in the 21st-century. Apart from the majesty and grandeur of the natural surroundings, the environment allows communion with the divine through meditation and contemplation.


Findgofind.com is a browser hijacker which is designed to appear as an improved type of search engine. In reality, however, those types of programs only exist to generate traffic and bring money to its developers. Any popular browser may be affected, so it doesn't matter which one you use – Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Once this hijacker gets inside the computer, it changes the system settings, which sets findgofind.com as the homepage and New Tab page, and deprives you of an ability to use other search engines the way they should be used. Your browser is attacked by an endless stream of advertisements and your computer starts experiencing system slowdowns and crashes because of this.
But trouble don't end there – Findgofind.com gathers personal information like passwords, IP address, search queries, browsing history, home address, phone number and credit card data, and then sends it out to advertising agencies. They use it to make more advertisements and also send you spam emails. But your information may also get into the hands of cybercriminals and the consequences of this are much worse – they're sure to try and hack your Internet accounts, so we advise you to change passwords as soon as you see your computer showing symptoms described above.
After the safety of your accounts is ensured, download a program like Plumbytes Anti-Malware and remove Findgofind.com with it. We have a manual with all the necessary information so you don't have to be nervous if you have never done this before. To ensure the system safety in the future, keep your visits to fishy sites to a minimum, don't install browser extensions and plugins unless you know for certain that they're safe, approach file-sharing services with caution and use Custom installation for installing new software on the computer. Those easy steps are basically all you need to keep your system safe.
You can easily remove Findgofind.com browser hijacker from your system using one of the effective anti-malware tools listed below, or you can follow our detailed step-by-step manual removal guide.
If you have an antivirus software running on your computer, please check for its updates and scan your system. If the problem still persists, download and install one of the recommended anti-malware tools to automatically remove Findgofind.com and other malware threats from your PC.
