"Domestic workers would be well catered for if Ghana signs ILO Convention" – TUC Boss
Mr. Kofi Asamoah, Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress, has said that domestic workers have rights that need to be respected, just like every other worker." These workers typically have no holidays, work for unspecified periods of time, lack adequate protection and thus often end up being abused."
Mr. Asamoah was speaking at an Advocacy Seminar on the International Labor Organisation(ILO) Convention 189, which concerns decent work and conditions of service for domestic workers, which was held in Accra on Monday.
He said Ghana played a part towards the adoption of the convention, adding: "Now that Ghana has participated with the ILO to bring about a convention, Ghana has a duty to ratify that convention."
Mr. Asamoah said if Ghana ratified Convention 189, domestic workers would be well catered for.
He said it was unfortunate that whilst domestic workers sometimes exceeded the stipulated eight-hour daily work schedule recommended by the ILO, they were excluded from typical labour issues such as the minimum wage, SSNIT benefits, as well as the support of trade unions, amongst others.
Mr. Joseph Kingsley Amuah, Head of Industrial Relations and Administration, Ghana Employers Association, said the ILO required that a domestic worker should have a contract to determine their conditions of service. He said whilst unemployment was being battled globally, many homes were enjoying the services of domestic workers, which sometimes involved these workers, beyond the "normal" eight hour working period for most workers. "Globally, we are battling unemployment. If families and individuals are enjoying full labor services from workers in the form of house-helps and others, it is only right that things are streamlined so that these workers pay taxes and also contribute to SSNIT."
Mr. Amuah said it was unfortunate that "Our current labor laws do not have much provision for domestic workers. As far as the labor net covers them, they should enjoy its provisions". He said Ghana needed to ensure that the requisite laws and measures were put in place, in order to have the convention ratified.
Mr. Amuah said institutions such as Parliament, the Judiciary, the Ministry of Employment, the Tripartite Committee among others, should all be involved at various levels, in the smooth ratification of the convention.
On June 16, 2011, the International Labor Conference of the ILO, adopted the Convention, concerning decent work for domestic workers, known as the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011(No. 189).
The Convention seeks to promote the rights of domestic workers, with respect to their terms of hours of work, remuneration, occupational safety and health, social security, among other requirements.

If you love to travel the world in style or are in the middle of planning a dream holiday then read on to discover what luxury experiences you should not miss out on in 2019. Whether its endless hours spent snorkelling a remote coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef with Manta Rays, skiing down Mount Cook straight out of a helicopter or exploring the Red Centre Experience Oz has got you covered.
We've handpicked 6 luxury experiences across Australian and New Zealand that will make your next holiday unforgettable.
Love to hike but don't want to rough it in base camps this time? Well, you don't have to on this epic 4 day adventure that incorporates some of Tasmania's best scenery, beaches and rugged rock formations with cosy minimalist overnight accommodations at the Bay Of Fire Eco Lodge and Spa. Built on a hilltop, you'll be within steps of the Bay of Fires beach and after a long day of hiking what better way is there to relax and unwind than soaking in an ocean front bath or treating the feet to a foot spa? You'll be kept busy during the day taking in walks at Mt William National Park with views of the Bass Strait and beyond but kickback in the evening with a glass of wine in hand.
As we begin to approach the winter months in the Southern Hemisphere, snow bunnies are probably counting down the days till they hit the ski slopes again. Mount Cook is New Zealand's highest mountain boasting some of the best snow conditions for skiing and snowboarding in the world. The helicopter flight to these mighty peaks is only half the fun as you step straight out of the plane and down incredible skiing territory. The once in a lifetime experience is available between July and September taking you on 5 ski runs in a day but you will need to bring your own ski board or hire equipment.
Uluru is on many traveller's bucket lists but make 'some day' happen this year with a comprehensive 4 day tour package complete with accommodation, wine, canapés and activities included. The Red Centre no longer has to be a mystery with deluxe packages taking care of all the travel details so you can simply enjoy travelling to one of the world's greatest natural wonders without having to worry about a thing. From luxurious coaches to superior accommodation, magnificent Uluru sunsets and tours to Kings Canyon and Kata Tjuta – a guided tour has everything that you could possibly desire when exploring Central Australia.
If you are an underwater adventurer than a visit to Lady Elliot Island is a must. The remote coral cay in the Southern Great Barrier Reef is highly regarded as one of the best snorkelling and diving locations on the reef with unspoilt coral and mind blowing encounters swimming alongside curious turtles and the biggest Manta Rays you have ever seen. Given its location, the only way to travel is by plane and honestly, the scenic flight is worth the money alone as you soar over the Coral Sea. During your time on the island guests are treated to a glass bottom boat cruise, buffet lunch, guided snorkel and island reef walks. And while one of its biggest selling points is that you can visit the reef in a day, don't discount the fact that this is one of the most unique and highly sought after coral cays in the world and it is right here in Australia's backyard. Flights are available from the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Hervey Bay.
There are only a handful of exotic locations in the world where you can swim with Whale Sharks and one of them is Ningaloo Reef off the coast of Western Australia. The UNESCO world heritage site is home to over 500 species of sea critters but the Whale Sharks are the star attraction found in the waters between March to July. Ocean cruises depart daily from Exmouth accompanied by a spotter airplane travelling ahead to find the whale sharks ensuring that you enjoy more time in the water swimming alongside the gentle giants. This is one of the best marine experiences in Australia and a dream excursion for quite a few members of the Experience Oz crew too.
Experience Oz has got you covered with a huge range of award winning food and wine experiences, once in a lifetime adventures, mind blowing wildlife encounters and unique natural attractions that can make any holiday extraordinary.

EIF: Thank You, Edinburgh
Posted on 29th August 2022 by VoxCarnyx
At the end of an Edinburgh Festival during which political issues, from the personal to the international, have been particularly to the fore, an appearance by Californian soprano Angel Blue was most appropriate. In July the singer withdrew from La Traviata at Verona Arena because of the Italian venue's use of blackface in a parallel summer staging of Aida. Although her public statement was eloquent and reasonable, the social media response explains her absence from those platforms now.
The 75th Festival was blessed to have her on the stage of its largest theatre as special guest of The Philadelphia Orchestra for a free concert that was also streamed live to an outdoor screen in Princes Street Gardens. Her quartet of songs – O Mio Babbino Caro and Vissa d'arte by Puccini, Gershwin's Summertime and Harold Arlen's Over the Rainbow – are likely to be the part many of the audience remembers best.
The event was the last of many innovations from Festival Director Fergus Linehan during his tenure, and if it can happen again, it should – the closing fireworks concert enjoyed a good innings, and 70-odd reinventions of the wheel can be regarded as sufficient achievement. There are countless ways in which this free concert format could now be developed.
For this year, the title of the event worked especially well. As Linehan explained in his introduction, it was not just meant to thank the city for welcoming the Festival back after the Covid pandemic, it was specifically a thank-you to those working in the NHS and care-homes, teaching children and delivering food and other essential supplies during the health emergency. We can assume there was an element of personal appreciation from the director to the city as well, and that should be reciprocated – there has been much to celebrate about Linehan's tenure, and the way the Festival responded to the restrictions of the previous two years was especially admirable.
This concert was an upbeat way to mark all that, and Angel Blue's contributions were perfect for the occasion. For some obscure technical reason she switched to a hand-held microphone for the Wizard of Oz hit, which did her voice no favours at all inside the venue but possibly made sense in the Gardens, but, that apart, she was in glorious form, on the popular Puccini every bit as much as her Grammy-winning Porgy and Bess.
The ebullient Yannick Nezet-Seguin and his orchestra are also well-suited to a concert of classical pops, able to launch into everything with the appropriate level of energy. We heard the Dvorak Carnival Overture again, and a repeat of the Third Movement of Florence Price's Symphony No 1, but also Rossini's Overture to The Thieving Magpie and the Fourth Movement of Beethoven's 7th, both vibrant masterpieces of orchestral writing, opening and closing the programme.
Just as successful in the context, however, were the two new pieces they played in a concert that was a whistle-stop tour of recent work by the orchestra and its music director. Carlos Simon's Fate Now Conquers was from a slate of commissions to complement a planned cycle of Beethoven symphonies, and drew on the music of the symphony whose Finale followed, as well as from Beethoven's journals for its title.
And Valerie Coleman's Seven O'Clock Shout, which requires the players to cheer as well as play their instruments, could not have been more appropriate. It has become something of an anthem for the orchestra, after being written in 2020 as a sort of concert-hall equivalent of the UK's clap for carers – a musical appreciation of the huge contribution of, and the sacrifices being made by, essential workers.
There was, of course, an encore after the Beethoven, and if a reappearance by Angel Blue would have suited the packed house perfectly, one of Brahms' Hungarian Dances was just fine too.

Studying abroad can be very stressful, much more than the degree, so you will need to be ready to cope and deal with stress in the best way. We bring you a solution of the four most common issues that you face while you move to the abroad first time. This blog post will definitely help those students who are either applying to study abroad through an education consultant or want to do so.
The first thing you realize when you start unpacking your stuff in a new home that, "I am far away from home. Why am I not studying there?" The first thing you must do is to go out and meet people. Everyone in your hostel will be away from their home and family, so talk to your hostel mates maybe you will find someone from your hometown too.
Even if you have done IELTS exam preparation for completing your English proficiency test but you will find some difficulty in understanding the language which is quite frustrating. But here you get a chance to learn new phrases that you will hear throughout your university life.
Every time you will commit a mistake your friends will be there to correct you. And this is something that you will enjoy while studying abroad. However, don't hesitate to check alternative methods of learning a new language and to improve your language skills.
Though there are methods to understand the handling of different currency and exchange rates. But you must take a week to understand it completely and sometimes you will run out of money too. To avoid such circumstances make a budget and stick to it. Try to find out a part-time job so that you can easily manage your finances and can fully enjoy your abroad life.
If you study in China, it becomes difficult for you to find your products whether it is food, drinks or any other things. So, before leaving find out what type of item you can bring with you on a flight or what are the alternates available at your destination. You can also search on the internet about this issue, in case you will find other people who had suffered from the same situation.
If you have any questions before, during or after the process, do not hesitate to contact Edwise Education! Being a leading Education consultant in Pakistan, we can advise you when preparing it and make it much more effective according to the requirements demanded by the university to which you want to apply.


Are you passionate about food and the health of your community? Does your community experience issues accessing healthy food?
Food First NL is recruiting THREE communities in the Coast of Bays Region committed to improving access to healthy food, to partner with on a multi-year project called Our Food NL.
If there is local interest in working to improve access to healthy food in your community, you could be interested in this opportunity!
The Our Food NL Project will partner with three communities in the Coast of Bays Region to take a deeper look at the factors impacting access to healthy food, and support the creation of programs in each community that address local challenges accessing food.
This will be done by completing Community-led Food Assessments in each community. A Community-led Food Assessment is a process that helps communities come together to better understand the challenges faced accessing enough, healthy food, as well as the strengths that exist in the community related to food. The process is led by community members and is used to inform the development of locally-appropriate programs aimed to improve access to food for all within a community.
What is provided through the Project?
Any community in the region is encouraged to participate, and applications are due by end of day on Wednesday, October 11, 2017. The application must be completed by one or a number of organizations located in the community that have a keen interest in helping to guide the work locally.
If you think your community is a good fit for this work, the application form can be downloaded here.

Khamenei's Kashmir Remarks Draw Praise in Pakistan, Rebuke in India
Ahmad Majidyar
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's latest remarks about Kashmir have triggered reactions in both Pakistan and India. On July 3, Khamenei on the Iranian Judiciary to "legally intervene" and voice support for "Muslims in Myanmar and Kashmir." Similarly, in his speech last month marking the end of Ramadan, the supreme leader on the Muslim world to support the people of Bahrain, Yemen and Kashmir. On Thursday, Pakistan's Foreign Office Khamenei's statement, adding that the Muslim world is worried about "human rights violations" by Indian troops in Kashmir. The Indian media, in contrast, criticized the Iranian leader's comments and opined that it was a reaction to the Indian government's latest efforts to cultivate closer ties with Israel and Saudi Arabia. "Probably peeved at the India's first ever prime-ministerial visit to Israel, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has raked up the Kashmir bogey again, second time in two weeks," India Today. The Times of India also to Modi's Israel trip and added: "Further, with India and Iran squabbling over a gas field, and India's tilt toward Riyadh, Indo-Iran ties are suddenly not looking too high on New Delhi's agenda."
Comment: While Khamenei's remarks on Kashmir may be related to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's trip to Israel, it is not the first time that the Iranian leader has displeased New Delhi with his remarks on Kashmir. In 2010, India the Iranian envoy to New Delhi to protest Khamenei's repeated calls to the Islamic world to support the plight of Muslims in Kashmir. It remains to be seen if Khamenei's comments would adversely affect improving diplomatic and commercial relations between Iran and India. Modi visited Tehran last year to sign an agreement with the Iranian government on the development of the Chabahar port – a strategic India-Iran initiative that rivals China's plan to develop Pakistan's Gwadar port.

On crypto investment advice from Tom Brady
Mr. Jonathan Turley, a law professor from George Washington University and well-known legal commentator, published an article prompted by a lawsuit against Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. Why is Mr. Brady the subject of a lawsuit? Mr. Turley explained:
Patriots football fan Michael Livieratos is doing something that once would have been considered a sacrilege in New England: He is suing former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Livieratos, 56, filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Brady and "Shark Tank" co-host Kevin "Mr. Wonderful" O'Leary for their marketing of FTX and crypto currency.
To be sure, Mr. Brady did not make a great life choice in attaching his name to a colossal fraud scheme. Moreover, Mr. Turley notes that Mr. Brady evidently lost some of his own money through poor investment decisions (at least he had skin in the game, I suppose). But how does Mr. Brady's bad endorsement sense support a lawsuit by Mr. Liviertatos? We learn that Mr. Liviertatos lost his life savings investing with FTX — and he blames none other than the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback:
Livieratos told the Washington Post that "as a New England Patriots fan my entire life, you can imagine the influence that Tom Brady would have."
Mr. Livieratos confidently states that I can image what kind of influence Mr. Brady would have over his financial decisions. However, I cannot imagine in the way that Mr.Livieratos states that I should be able to imagine. I watched a good amount of football during the first half of Mr. Brady's now 23-year career. (I was disappointed when he led the Patriots on a final drive to defeat my then favorite team, the Carolina Panthers, in Super Bowl XXXVII (2004)). Mr. Brady never struck me as anything more than a football player. The man clearly loves football. He is, by most accounts, the most accomplished and decorated football player of all time (greatest is another question — I will venture that Mr. Peyton Manning held majority recognition as the better quarterback for most of the first half of the 2000s) , and his acumen and attention to detail explain why he is a starting quarterback at age 45. I dare say that Mr. Brady seems to live for football. (Some may even go so far as to wonder whether his passion for football played a role in recent non-crypto events in the life of Mr. Brady (but we need not speculate here)).
However, brilliance on the football field does not necessarily say anything about the man off the football field. Perhaps Mr. Brady has talents outside of football, but if he does, he has kept them secret from the rest of us. We can safely say that his generalship on the field did not translate to having good sense in making crypto endorsements and investments. Excellence in one area does not entail excellence in an unrelated area, as I examined in the case of a certain failed New York City mayoral candidate.
There is nothing about being a fan of Tom Brady the football player that requires someone to take investment advice from Mr. Brady. I was a fan of Steve Smith on the Carolina Panthers (I made the case to a Steelers fan in my class that Smith deserved the NFL MVP in 2005 — but Smith did not win the MVP while the Steelers won the Super Bowl), but that did not cause me to break a classmate's nose in gym class.
I conclude with Mr. Turley's conclusion from his article:
Ultimately, however, celebrities sell themselves — and the rule for consumers remains "caveat emptor," or "buyer beware."

California Expresses Frustration as Blackouts Enter 4th Day
Lawmakers and consumer groups expressed outrage on Monday that the operator of California's electricity grid had not adequately prepared for a heat wave and was resorting to rolling blackouts.
The blackouts, which started on Friday and were set to continue into Monday night, were reminiscent of an energy crisis 20 years ago, when the state's botched deregulation of the electricity system left millions of people in the dark and drove the wholesale price of power skyward.
Gov. Gavin Newsom demanded an investigation into why state regulators had failed to prepare for high temperatures, which had been forecast for days.
"These blackouts, which occurred without prior warning or enough time for preparation, are unacceptable and unbefitting of the nation's largest and most innovative state," Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, said in a letter Monday to the state's three major energy agencies.
[Sign up for California Today, our newsletter from the Golden State.]
Soon after he sent the letter, the state's electric grid manager, the California Independent System Operator, ordered utilities like Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison to black out as many as 3.3 million people starting as early as 4 p.m. Pacific time to reduce demand for power.
Steve Berberich, president and chief executive officer of California I.S.O., said the system could be short about 4,400 megawatts of power in the late afternoon. "It's going to be highly disruptive to people," Mr. Berberich said. "We're going to do everything we can to narrow that gap."
Sweltering weather has smothered much of the West over the last week and is expected to strain the electric grid that serves about 80 percent of California. Temperatures in Death Valley reached 130 degrees.
The heat is expected to continue through Wednesday evening. The governor, the grid operator and utilities have been asking consumers to reduce electricity use between 3 and 10 p.m., when power demand typically peaks in the state.
People who lose power can expect to go without it for an hour at a time during some of the hottest stretches of the day. The blackouts could also disrupt learning for many students who began their first day of virtual classes on Monday because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Last year, Pacific Gas & Electric, the state's largest utility, shut the power off to millions of customers, some for days, to reduce the risk that its equipment would set off wildfires.
To increase the supply of electricity, Mr. Newsom has ordered PG&E and Southern California Edison to use backup generators that the utilities installed for when they cut off power as a fire prevention tool. Wildfires have already burned tens of thousands of acres in the state this summer.
Mark Toney, executive director of the Utility Reform Network, which represents consumers before the California Public Utilities Commission, called on lawmakers to investigate California I.S.O. to determine why the agency did not adequately prepare for the heat wave.
"Why did they not do a better job of managing the grid, which is their job?" Mr. Toney said.
State Senator Jerry Hill, who heads a Senate energy subcommittee, said he had learned that blackouts on Friday took place in part because a natural gas power plant unexpectedly went offline.
"It failed to produce when called on," Mr. Hill said. "There's something wrong, and it's up to the Legislature and the governor to find out."
Separately, California I.S.O. said that as the wind slowed across much of the state on Saturday, power from wind turbines dropped sharply. And a second gas plant could not keep generating the electricity officials were expecting.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has been monitoring California's energy troubles. The commission said it had discussed the electricity demand and wholesale power prices, which spiked in California over the weekend, with California I.S.O.
On Saturday, wholesale prices on California's electricity market surged, some above $3,800 per megawatt-hour, or roughly 100 times the typical cost of transmitting power over a designated stretch of transmission line.
The last time prices surged that much was in 2000 and 2001 after California allowed utilities, Wall Street banks and other players to trade electricity more freely with one another. Investigators determined that policymakers had done a poor job deregulating the energy system and that traders from companies like Enron had manipulated the market to drive up prices and generate handsome profits.
Utilities like PG&E were forced to pay high wholesale prices for power or black out customers. In 2001, PG&E sought bankruptcy protection in part because of the state's energy crisis. The company recently resolved another bankruptcy, this one caused by its wildfire liabilities.
Federal and state policymakers put safeguards in place to restore order. But some experts said the recent blackouts and spike in power prices suggested that the system still had weaknesses.
"Electricity is an essential service and shouldn't be subject to this type of profiteering, especially during the pandemic," Mr. Toney said.
Mr. Berberich said California I.S.O. was exploring the use of existing power plants that were not in service to help meet high demand in the days and weeks ahead.
California is struggling to meet its electricity needs because other states, which provide about 25 percent of the power it uses in a year, are also seeing record demand.
"We have a perfect storm going on here," Mr. Berberich said. "What we have is a situation where the entire region is more than hot. It's extremely hot."

Scream Reboot Will Set Up Future Movies With New Cast Members
by Christian Bone
Earlier this month, it was reported that Scream 5 is finally in the works at Spyglass Media Group. Bloody Disgusting had the scoop, but We Got This Covered was actually the first outlet to tell you that a new installment in the self-aware slasher franchise was on its way many months ago.
It was the right move to rest the Scream series for a while following the passing of original director Wes Craven, but it seems that now it's time to unleash Ghostface once again. And though plot details are still scarce, we've previously shared the news that the original cast will be back for the next Scream. That still seems to be the case, but we've received clarification that though Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox are likely to return in some capacity, Scream 5 will be more of a reboot than a direct sequel.

Psychology > Social Psychology > Critical Social Psychology
Critical Social Psychology Definition
A central concern of critical social psychology is inequality and injustice in society. Research from this approach typically is politically motivated and aims to highlight and help end the oppression of minority or marginalized social groups. Critical social psychology also examines psychology for any ways it contributes to an unjust and undesirable social order. Another aspect of critical social psychology is it develops and endorses the use of qualitative methods in psychology. Qualitative methods use linguistic rather than statistical forms of analysis. The term critical has implications of negativity but in critical social psychology it refers to work that assesses common assumptions about psychology, to make positive changes.
Key Themes in Critical Social Psychology
Critical psychology draws attention to social factors impacting on people that are sometimes ignored in other approaches. That is, it emphasizes contextual influences shaping a person's experiences and behavior. Consider, for example, the case of work-related stress. A traditional psychologist might study individual differences in feelings of stress. A test can be developed to identify workers most prone to stress so they can undergo some kind of stress-management training. Note that explaining a problem in terms of individuals leads to solutions that are focused on individuals. However, a critical social psychologist would take a different approach and consider the characteristics of the job, or of work in general, that lead to stress. If noise levels, for instance, are identified as a cause of stress, then employers can be urged to provide quieter working conditions.
Power is an important theme in critical social psychology. An aim of research is to identify and challenge ideas and practices that support discrimination against people on the basis of their ethnic background, age, gender, sexuality, disability, and so on. Feminism is an important influence on critical social psychology because it highlights that power relations in society are related to ways of thinking and behaving. Feminist psychologists, for example, have noted that in the 1970s masculine stereotypical traits (e.g., independent, active) were associated with adult mental health but feminine ones were not (e.g., dependent, passive). Important findings from feminist critical social psychology are that sex differences (e.g., in confidence) are typically interpreted as female deficits (i.e., low self-esteem) and that women's general lack of social status is typically explained by individual factors (e.g., a fear of success) rather than social ones (i.e., sex bias in employment practices).
The importance of language for shaping the ways people make sense and act in the world is a key idea. Language is understood as a primary basis for social life because it is largely through talk-in-interaction and writing that people conduct their lives. The ways language constructs different versions of the world is emphasized. Consider that a woman without children can be called child-less or child-free; how does the label used influence understanding about the woman? Why and who might use the term terrorist compared to the word freedom fighter? Note how different words refer to the same person but evaluate them in different ways.
Critique of Mainstream Psychology
Mainstream psychology typically assumes that researchers can be objective or completely independent of the subject they are studying. In contrast critical social psychology suggests research is never completely neutral. An individual researcher cannot be separated from the society they live in, so their research is influenced by social beliefs and values. There is considerable evidence of bias in what has been taken for granted about human psychology. For instance, in the case of intelligence tests, lower scores from other societies have been interpreted as indicating genetic inferiority rather than evidence of the cultural specificity of the tests. Another example is that up until the 1970s, psychological theories defined homosexuality largely as a mental disorder, whereas nowadays psychology offers theoretical and practical responses to prejudice and discrimination against lesbians and gay men.
A theoretical idea about people widespread in mainstream social psychology is that individuals are information processors. Stereotypes, including prejudiced ones, are understood as a natural consequence of all the information the human mind has to process and its limited cognitive capacities. Critical social psychology points out that an information processing model of prejudice is very individualistic in orientation and fails to explain why certain groups and not others have been victims of racist thinking. Another critique is that by suggesting prejudice is a natural and inevitable result of thought processes, a mainstream view fails to promote social change that will challenge racism, sexism, and so on.
The research methods favored by mainstream social psychology tend to be surveys and experiments where people's thoughts and behaviors are represented quantitatively by numerical scores. The problems associated with conventional quantitative methods have been criticized on several grounds. For example, the measures and categories of mainstream research overly simplify the complexity of human psychology and ignore important personal influences on responses. People behave differently at different times and places, yet mainstream research assumes a person's response in a survey or experiment is stable and lasting. In the case of experiments, participants are often deceived about the real purpose of the study, which is dishonest and disrespectful.
In contrast, critical social psychology promotes qualitative methods, such as observational and interview studies. A wide range of language-based data sources are used, including audio and video recordings of interactions, newspaper articles, or political speeches. Action research, in which the goal is social change for a particular group or community, is a characteristic approach. Aspects of critical work that differentiate it from mainstream psychology is that it usually aims to emphasize the variation and complexity of human experience rather than discover simple rules of behavior; consider research participants within their social contexts instead of examining them in more controlled experimental settings, and challenge aspects of inequalities in society instead of producing scientific facts about thought and behavior.

(September 20–26) Gladys forcing the way / Dan losing his / Stacia and Marky Mark out of it / What's the endgame in New Zealand? / Evergrande, neither grand nor forever / Germany in for a new leader …
As predicted, NSW continues to lead the way, with Victoria struggling mightily to keep up at least appearances. Cases numbers in VIC are going up and up and hit a new high on Friday (847, 779 on Saturday, on continued relatively low testing numbers). More troubling, however, is the fact that the O-multiplier (the ratio of cases at the same stage of the Delta outbreaks in VIC and NSW) is well above 2 and keeps also drifting up. It's a run-away train, likely to end in a train wreck. It will take a 5–6 weeks for the O-multiplier to go under 1. And then there will be at least 3–4 weeks to go.
The Melbourne protests that erupted last Monday and have been ongoing for almost a week now — with (a couple of) hundreds of people being arrested on a daily basis throughout the week — won't help the case numbers. And there is no end in sight. There is discussion about whether the anti-lockdown movement 'opportunistically' latched onto the frustrations of construction workers, with Ben Schneiders suggesting in the The Age/SMH that some of the frustrations have to do with the workings and configuration of the CFMEU. Be that as it may, it seems unquestionable that Andrews has lost control of the narrative and that the various anti-lockdown fractions are making inroads. Well-documented police brutality helped. It makes for a volatile situation and I doubt that at the end Andrews's ratings will be as supportive as they have been until recently. It's a long way — about 6 weeks in my estimate — before the Victorian roadmap out of lockdown will be implementable. Already now Melbourne has the dubious honor of having beaten Buenos Aires in the longest-lockdown sweepstakes; once the number of deaths will climb — and climb they will, as the state's hospital and ICU capacity are likely not up to snuff— some fans of Andrews will surely reconsider. I doubt very much that by late October, Andrews will still be the premier of the three most populous states with the best Newspoll approval rating. Testable hypothesis right there. Mark it.
Meanwhile, in NSW things are looking better with the day.
Having announced its roadmap weeks ago and having navigated that fine line between urgency on the vaccination front and giving hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel, Berejiklian (Glayds) is forcing the way and the numbers are going her way: The peak was reached — as is now becoming clear — a couple of weeks ago already, hospitalizations and ICU stays have stabilized and are unlikely to be worse in October — and vaccination rates are stellar; later today more than 60% of those above 15 will be fully vaccinated and more than 85% already have had their first jab. At the pace NSW has been going for the last week (more than 1% per day of those over 15 getting their second jab and about half a percent getting their first jab), NSW one week on will have 70% of those above 15 fully vaxxed and be close to 90% having had their first jab. Stellar numbers, given where NSW started and not even taking into account that among those aged 12–15 the vaccination rates are also going up mightily, currently sitting at almost 40% of those eligible. Yes, please do tell me again about vaccination hesitancy.
"Freedom day" in NSW seems at best a couple of weeks away and that unfailing leading indicator — post-lockdown restaurant bookings — sees it exactly that way. (Berejiklian has made clear that it won't really be a "freedom day" but a staggered relaxation of restrictions and fortunately restaurants and cafes and gyms and hairdressers opening in covid-safe ways will be among the beneficiaries.) Stop the press: Two friendlies of the Matildas [Oz's women's national soccer team] against Brazil confirmed for 23 and 26 October! Go the Matildas!
All said, Berejiklian (Gladys) and her health team have demonstrated how to live with covid without shutting down the joint over and over and over again, and without having the health system completely overwhelmed. Well, to the extent that we can tell and trust the official narrative. It is probably no coincidence that the kind of protests that Melbourne has seen last week have not materialized in Sydney.
Which brings us to Stacia (in Queensland) and Marky Mark (in West Australia). The former, at the beginning of the week, seemed rather smug about Queensland having reached 60 percent first jabs. Which, given that both states are way behind the vaccination leaders (NSW, ACT) (about 20% in first jabs and about 15% in second jabs) comes across as posturing of the kind that both Labor premiers seem to have specialized in for weeks. While geography surely plays a role, the key driver of the vaccination hesitancy in these two states seems to be a lack of urgency which seems in turn the inevitable result zero-covid policies bring about. At this point it seems clear that both states won't have reached the kind of vaccination rates it requires to live with covid before the end of the year, i.e., almost three months later than NSW. It remains unclear what vaccination rates both premiers would accept to open up the internal borders, nevermind the external borders.
/ What's the endgame in New Zealand?
Similar questions can be asked for New Zealand where the Ardern government has struggled to keep the Auckland outbreak under control, remains a prominent laggard in vaccination rates among OECD countries (although slightly ahead of Queensland and Western Australia), and where increasingly questions are being asked about the end-game. At the pace of vaccination the country is going right now, the 90% vaccination target (of the population) that Ardern has issued is months off and won't be reached this year for all I can see. Meanwhile, an economist colleague in Auckland has warned that Ardern has dismantled democratic processes while using "the bully pulpit of her press conferences to engage in blatant political propaganda"; he argues that polls have become meaningless since there is no democratic debate any longer. It's not a pretty picture he paints of St Jacinda and for that matter of the state of democracy in NZ.
/ Evergrande, neither grand nor forever
Late last week Evergrande, the Chinese property developer, missed an important interest payment deadline and is now in a 30-day grace period. It is unclear what the outcome will be and whether its (near) collapse marks the end of China's economic miracle, as at least one author has claimed. Others have argued that this is business as usual, that it is simply the fallout of one of Xi's attempt to improve the financial health of the Chinese real-estate market, and that in the grand scheme of things the travails of Evergrande matter only so much. (It has about $300 billion debt which is less than Australia, with 1/50th the population, has spent so far on its pandemic response. Thus, Evergrande is not too big to fail although a default surely would have considerable ramifications.)
Talking about China, Paul Frijters has an excellent piece over at Club Troppo in which he assesses where the ongoing Chinese reforms (the non-covid policy changes that have happened over the last 20 months) are going. He sees it as "the narrative for 'a new Cultural Revolution'."
/ Germany in for a new leader …
Germany is voting this Sunday and the results will be out in the wee hours of Oz Monday morning. I have previewed this federal election in late June here, three months out. Since then the polls have reflected some interesting trends, the most remarkable of which saw, about a month out from the election, the Social Democrats and their chancellor candidate Scholz overtake the Union of CDU and CSU and its candidate Laschet. Over the last ten days or so the polls have hardly moved and the average poll sees Scholz leading Laschet by three percentage points. About half a dozen coalitions are currently possible and at this point Laschet and Scholz are the only serious contenders for chancellor. The Germs are a risk-averse bunch. No experiments! (Keine Experimente!)
And that's the wrap for week 38 of 2021. All facts, no spin. Oz for Dummies.

Detroit Lions riding with coach Matt Patricia 'until the wheels fall off'
Carlos Monarrez
One day after the Detroit Lions suffered one of their most disappointing losses of the season, two players voiced strong support for coach Matt Patricia.
Safety Duron Harmon, who played for Patricia in New England, and left tackle Taylor Decker expressed their confidence in the first-time head coach, whose record stands at 13-28-1.
Because of COVID-19 protocols, reporters are not allowed inside NFL locker rooms this season. That has made it harder to gauge the 4-6 Lions' mood following a 20-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers. But Harmon assured reporters in a conference call Monday that Patricia has the team's full support.
"At the end of the day, what's said in the locker room, that's a sacred place," Harmon said. "But I would let you know that everybody is definitely fully on board with Matt. We love him as a head coach and we've just got to win. We've got to win. That calms and solves everything right there: Winning."
Decker also was unequivocal about his support for Patricia and laid some of the blame on players' inability to execute the game plan at Carolina.
[ FOR SUBSCRIBERS:To replace Patricia, Lions could follow this new NFL trend ]
"One hundred percent," Decker said of his level of support for Patricia. "He's our head coach and we're going to follow that and follow the plan in place because we've seen when we execute and we're prepared and we communicate well that we can be a really good football team.
"Obviously yesterday when it came down to execution — like that's the players' responsibility to execute things and execute the game plans. And he's the head of our organization, he's the leader of organization, and we trust in that. It'd be foolish if we weren't all working toward the same thing; trying to improve, trying to win, trying to get better. And that's all we can try to do."
Decker said he considered it a "blessing" the Lions can move past their failures and focus on another game so quickly, with the Houston Texans due to visit for the annual Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field. Harmon echoed the need to focus on the next opponent instead of wallowing in doubt.

"At the end of the day, I love Matt," Harmon said. "Matt is the head coach, so whatever he asks of me to do, his approach as a coach, I'm going to follow him. I'm going to ride with him until the wheels fall off.
"At the end of the day, (the criticism is ) just outside noise. … I'm not oblivious to it, but whether I let it consume me or get to me is my choice and right now, it's outside noise. I have to worry about getting ready for a very, very explosive offense in the Texans and that's where my focus is right now."
Harmon offered a sober assessmentof professional sports, saying "everybody's job is in jeopardy" in a "production-based business."
"I love Matt," Harmon said. "I love what he brings to the table as a coach, the passion that he coaches with, the leadership, how smart he is. I just love everything about him. But at the end of the day, the only way to take the heat off of anybody and all of us is to win.
"So the only thing that we can focus on and get ready to do is go play our best game of the year against the Texans and get a win and calm some of this down and try to get a hold of some things and try to stack a win on top of a win. I think that's where we're at right now and that's what we're focused on doing."

Vovše (; in older sources and locally also Ovsiše,  or Wousche) is a settlement in the hills east of Vače in the Municipality of Litija in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region. It includes the hamlets of Cvetež, Toge, and V Mejah.

Cultural heritage

There is a two-story masonry pigsty dating from the 19th century at Vovše no 5. The structure has an arcaded ground floor, and the upper floor was built as a dower cottage, where a retired farmer that has passed his property on to his heirs could live. The arcade features four columns: the inner two are round, and the outer two are octagonal. The upper floor has three windows, and the two floors are separated by a decorative cornice.

Popper: The Champion Guides
Rafe Champion
This book provides an introduction to the life and work of Karl Popper with guides to the key ideas in five of his books. Popper lived a long and productive life, leaving a score of books including two which have the status of classics. The Logic of Scientific Discovery transformed the philosophy of science and The Open Society and its Enemies is a profound critique of ideas which confuse and divide the friends of freedom. Most likely Popper will eventually be a household name among educated people but his profile is so low in the universities at present that some of his books are kept in print by a lay readership.


Boris Stermotić (Ris) is the founder and chief instructor of first Croatian Outdoor Survival School (Extremesurvive). He started with naturvival from the moment of his first escape into the wilderness in his teenage years, when he realized that all the components of the wilderness had a perfect logic of existence.
Passion for nature and adventure led him to study survival techniques from experienced survival organizations in Europe.
In Italy, he worked for many years and growth his experience like survival expert in organizations like Avventura Team (AICS) and FISSS where he experiments outdoor team buildings with youngsters with great results.
He also accomplished many other certificates that help his growth, like MTB instructor, apnea diver, sea rescue and others.
Late, he also becomes SIWA Survival Instructors World Association Honoris Causa.
Pure love for nature and the adventure led Boris to form first Croatian Outdoor Survival School. Driven by the feelings and the understanding of being only an interpreter of nature, he moved further into propagating survival movement in his country. He starts with first survival associations in Croatia like HUPP and Survivors Club and creates Forum Preživljavanja, biggest outdoor community in his region that regroup survival and bushcraft enthusiast and count more than one million visits each year, the community that gives births to other communities of survival and bushcraft in Croatia and nearest regions.
He is also the author of Bosonogi free survival school for kids, Naturvival Movement, many free workshops made to promote outdoor living and author of Survival manual published freely on the web and in survival column in Meta magazine, promoter of many outdoor manifestation and festivals, guest on many TV and radio talk shows and others.
Due his originally training as a designer, bid Boris design Survival Kukri Knife, survival tool par excellence, produced by FKMD Italy and distributed around the globe.
Boris is always eager to learn new skills and to share his knowledge's unselfish with others, always educating that we do not inherit this earth from our ancestors, we only borrow it from our children's.

LT 27 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
28 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
30 Preamble
32 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
33 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
34 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
35 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
36 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
37 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
38 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
703601d6 39 the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
LT 40 your programs, too.
42 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
43 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
44 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
45 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
46 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
47 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
49 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
50 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
51 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
52 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
54 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
55 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
56 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
57 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
58 rights.
60 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
61 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
62 distribute and/or modify the software.
64 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
65 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
66 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
67 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
68 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
69 authors' reputations.
71 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
72 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
73 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
74 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
75 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
77 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
78 modification follow.
703601d6 79
LT 80 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
81 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
83 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
84 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
85 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
86 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
87 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
88 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
89 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
90 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
91 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
93 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
94 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
95 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
96 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
97 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
98 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
100 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
101 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
102 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
103 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
104 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
105 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
106 along with the Program.
108 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
109 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
111 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
112 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
113 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
114 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
116 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
117 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
119 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
120 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
121 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
122 parties under the terms of this License.
124 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
125 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
126 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
127 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
128 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
129 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
130 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
131 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
132 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
133 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
703601d6 134
LT 135 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
136 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
137 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
138 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
139 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
140 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
141 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
142 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
143 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
145 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
146 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
147 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
148 collective works based on the Program.
150 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
151 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
152 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
153 the scope of this License.
155 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
156 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
157 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
159 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
160 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
161 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
163 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
164 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
165 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
166 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
167 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
168 customarily used for software interchange; or,
170 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
171 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
172 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
173 received the program in object code or executable form with such
174 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
176 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
177 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
178 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
179 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
180 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
181 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
182 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
183 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
184 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
185 itself accompanies the executable.
187 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
188 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
189 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
190 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
191 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
LT 193 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
194 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
195 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
196 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
197 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
198 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
199 parties remain in full compliance.
201 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
202 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
203 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
204 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
205 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
206 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
207 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
208 the Program or works based on it.
210 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
211 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
212 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
213 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
214 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
215 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
216 this License.
218 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
219 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
220 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
221 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
222 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
223 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
224 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
225 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
226 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
227 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
228 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
229 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
231 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
232 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
233 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
234 circumstances.
236 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
237 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
238 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
239 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
240 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
241 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
242 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
243 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
244 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
245 impose that choice.
247 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
248 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
LT 250 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
251 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
252 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
253 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
254 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
255 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
256 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
258 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
259 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
260 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
261 address new problems or concerns.
263 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
264 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
265 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
266 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
267 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
268 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
269 Foundation.
271 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
272 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
273 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
274 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
275 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
276 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
277 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
279 NO WARRANTY
281 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
282 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
283 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
284 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
285 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
286 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
287 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
288 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
289 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
291 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
292 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
293 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
294 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
295 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
296 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
297 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
298 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
299 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
301 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
LT 303 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
305 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
306 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
307 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
309 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
310 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
311 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
312 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
314 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
315 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
317 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
318 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
319 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
320 (at your option) any later version.
322 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
323 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
324 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
325 GNU General Public License for more details.
JH 327 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
328 with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
329 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
331 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
333 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
334 when it starts in an interactive mode:
336 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
337 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
338 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
339 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
341 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
342 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
343 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
344 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
346 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
347 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
348 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
350 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
351 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
353 <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
354 Ty Coon, President of Vice
356 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
357 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
358 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
703601d6 359 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
075b845a 360 Public License instead of this License.

QueryScript Statements: operations on data, schema or flow.

SYNOPSIS

statement;
{
    statement;
    statement;
}

List of QueryScript statements

DESCRIPTION

Statements are actions to be taken. QueryScript supports statements of the following types:

SQL statements: the usual DML (SELECT, INSERT, ...), DML (CREATE, ALTER, ...) and
		other various commands (KILL, GRANT, ...)

Script statements: statements which affect flow and behavior of script

Statement blocks

SQL statements

Most SQL statements which are accepted by MySQL are also accepted by QueryScript.
These include INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, CREATE, DROP, ALTER, SET, FLUSH, and more.

Among the SQL statements which are in particular not allowed within QueryScript are:

Dynamic SQL statements (PREPARE, EXECUTE, DEALLOCATE)

Plugin statements (INSTALL, UNINSTALL)

Stored routines statements (DECLARE, LOOP, ...), for which QueryScript provides substitutes.

Transaction statements are handled by the QueryScript engine, as described following.

Otherwise, any SQL statement which is not allowed to be executed via dynamic SQL cannot be executed via
QueryScript.

Execution of a SQL statement modifies the $rowcount and $found_rows variable.
See built-in variables.

QueryScript statements

QueryScript adds and recognizes the following statements:

echo

eval

input

pass

report

sleep

throttle

throw

var

And the following flow control statements :

break

return

In addition, the transaction statements start transaction,
begin, commit, rollback
are managed by QueryScript and delegated immediately to MySQL.

Statement blocks

  Statements can be grouped into blocks by using the curly braces, as follows:

{
    statement;
    statement;
}

The entire block is considered to be a statement, and is valid for use in flow control
structures, such as foreach,
 if-else,
while,
loop-while.

Statement delimiters

QueryScript statements are terminates by a semicolon (";"). The last query in a block or script can optionally not be terminated by the semicolon.
Thus, the following are valid scripts:

    statement

    statement;

{
    statement;
    statement
}

A block statement ({...}) is not terminated by a delimiter.
There is no way to change the delimiter. In particular, QueryScript does not recognize the DELIMITER statement.

Comments

Comments are allowed within QueryScript, as follows:

Multi line comments are recognized by /* ... */

Single line comments are recognized by -- . Note that there is a space after the two dashes.

See following:

    set @x := 3;
    if (@x < 5 /* This is a comment */)
    {
      -- A single line comment
      select 'x is small';
    }
    else
    {
      /* Another comment, this
         time multiline */
      select 'x is large';
    }

Elvis's 40 Year Reign (1963-1964)
Wayward Pines: What an M. Night Shyamalan TV series looks like
| July 1, 2015
M. Night Shyamalan is a name people either love or hate. Some remember early Shyamalan films like The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable and, based on these, believe Shyamalan to be one of the most innovative storytellers in Hollywood. Others, however, remember films like Lady in the Water and After Earth and think Shyamalan just doesn't have it anymore. While I haven't been a fan of the later films of his, Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense and The Village were two movies that inspired me when I was younger to become a writer. I loved the emotional impact of his stories and the way he shaped viewer expectations throughout a film before revealing what viewers should have expected all along at the end.
Shyamalan had been mentioning on Twitter for the past year about a television project he was working on called Wayward Pines. He has been known for movies, but I was very interested to see what an M. Night Shyamalan-produced television show would look like. And so far I haven't been disappointed.
The first episode of Wayward Pines appeared on Fox on May 14, 2015, and was watched by 3.7 million viewers and the ratings have grown since then. What's interesting about Wayward Pines as a television show is that is actually an adaptation of a trilogy of books called Wayward Pines by author Blake Crouch. I've never read the books, but the premise is interesting. In the books and in the show, a secret service agent named Ethan Burke finds himself in a small town called Wayward Pines. There's something strange about the town, not the least of which is that Burke can't leave. He soon discovers that there is a secret about Wayward Pines and why no one can leave that would leave anyone in that situation stunned. The books follow Burke as he discovers the secret of the town, then becomes the town's primary protector.
The danger of any book-to-television adaptation, especially with an M. Night Shyamalan production where mystery is a key component of the story, is that the source material is already out there and many people could read the books and already know the basic story. Fortunately, Wayward Pines wasn't that well-known as a book series, so while people could go and read the source material before watching the show, it seems likely that a majority of the show's viewers haven't. And even if someone has, it would be just like having one of your favorite novels, The Hunger Games, for example, adapted into a movie. They're two different mediums and will approach the story two different ways.
The secret of exactly what the town of Wayward Pines is will be surprising to anyone who hasn't read the books. Shyamalan is known for twist endings, and the twist at the end of Blake Crouch's first book in the trilogy is revealed in episode 5 of the television show. Many people accuse Shyamalan of overusing twists in his stories, though it would be a bit unfair for this one since it's actually Crouch's story twist. But it's easy to see why a story like this appealed to Shyamalan. Wayward Pines deals with some deep issues and the stakes for everyone involved are significant.
The first four episodes revolve around Ethan Burke and his arrival in Wayward Pines and his family's desperate search for him. Burke heads for Boise, Idaho to search for two missing agents when he's involved in a crash and wakes up in a hospital in Wayward Pines. The nurse taking care of his is odd and no one will let him contact his family. His family, wife Theresa and son Ben, are trying to find him, worried that he may have abandoned them for a woman he once enjoyed an inappropriate relationship with. The family dynamic and the tension several members of the town experience as a result of being separated from the ones they love is played out from week to week to give viewers a sense of what citizens of Wayward Pines have to give up to be there and the potential harm it could cause for anyone to try to leave. After watching this dynamic interplay for four weeks, you're hit with the reality of the situation Burke, his family, and all the other citizens of Wayward Pines are in. I may have watched the show casually up until that point, but after that, I was hooked.
Wayward Pines is, of course, executive produced by M. Night Shyamalan and stars Matt Dillon as Ethan Burke, Carla Gugino as Kate Hewson, one of the agents that Burke is sent to find, and Terrence Howard as the town's creepy and overbearing sheriff. Wayward Pines has been mostly well-received by critics and viewers alike and Fox is already discussing the possibility of a second season, although with a new cast. It looks like this first season of the show is covering the narrative of all three books in the series with minor deviations, so a second season would likely be material expanding upon what Blake Crouch originally wrote. Whatever Fox decides, it will be interesting to see.

Snap shares gained almost 3% Friday morning after CEO Evan Spiegel said in an internal memo that the company plans to get profitable next year.
Spiegel admitted that Snap "rushed" with its redesign and now plans to grow at a sustainable pace. The company plans to grow in new markets like India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil.
On Thursday, Snap fell below $US8 for the first time since going public in early 2017.

Snap shares gained almost 3% Friday morning after CEO Evan Spiegel said in an internal memo that the company plans to reach profitability next year.
In the memo, which sent out on Thursday and contained more than 6,500 words, Spiegel admitted the Snapchat app was too fast in releasing its controversial redesign, which led to the company's first drop in daily active users. Spiegel also acknowledged that Snap plans to grow at a sustainable pace.
In order to increase its revenue, he said Snap will have to grow in new markets like India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil. The company will also have to increase advertisers on its platform and improve ad measurement for advertisers, he said.
The memo comes after the Snap shares sank below $US8 on Thursday for the first time since going public in early 2017. Evercore ISI analyst Anthony DiClemente said that competition from Instagram is "irreversibly reducing" the company's ability to meet investors' long-term expectations.
Snap shares were down 46% this year through Thursday.
