Q: How to call a function in a thread in Python? Consider this is a class that I have:
import threading

class SomeClass(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)

    def func1(arg):
        # The body of code.

    def run(self):
        while True:
            func1(arg)

I want to call a function in a class in run() method. How can I do it?

A: You call the function in the run() method.
It seems like here that you might want to use a @staticmethod decorator, to eliminate the self-binding. This way, you can just SomeClass.func1(arg) ... Or you can add self as the first arg, or call it with alternate syntax.

Nearly 50 Brewers players plus a host of alumni, coaches, front office executives and broadcasters are scheduled to participate in Brewers on Deck, the fanfest that will take place on Sunday, Jan. 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Wisconsin Center.
Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $9 for children 14 and under. Tickets on the day of the event are $20 for adults and $15 for children 14 and under. A portion of the proceeds from Brewers On Deck will benefit Brewers Community Foundation. Tickets may be purchased at the Miller Park ticket office, by calling the Brewers ticket office at 414-902-4000 or online at brewers.com/ondeck.
This year the event will feature a community book drive that will help support Next Door's Books for Kids program. The goal of the Books for Kids campaign is to help all children in Milwaukee's central city, regardless of their family income or education levels, have books they can call their own. Local author Marla McKenna will help host the event. Fans are encouraged to bring new or gently used children's books to donate. In appreciation for their contribution, fans who donate a book will receive a free copy of McKenna's newest publication, "Mom's Big Catch," a story based upon events that took place at Miller Park.
Brewers on Deck willl feature a number of activities for the entire family. Autographs and photos from Brewers players, coaches and alumni; interactive games in the Kids Area; Q&A sessions and game shows with Brewers players, coaches and broadcasters; vendor booths with baseball memorabilia; Brewers Community Foundation's Treasure Hunt, a 50/50 raffle, live auction and many other activities will be part of the event.
Details regarding autographs include the following: Recipients of "PREMIER" autographs (players to be announced next week) will be chosen through a random selection process. Each fan in attendance will receive one Premier Entry sheet which may be redeemed at the Random Selection area outside the Main Exhibit Hall of the Wisconsin Center District.
The Premier Entry sheet will be exchanged for a numbered coupon to be entered into the random selection process for any one of the select Brewers players. Coupon distribution will be available at 8 a.m. the day of the event and will continue up to an hour before each designated autograph session. There is no cost for coupons to enter the random selection process; however, those holding winning coupons must pay $10 at the respective autograph stage to collect their player signature. There will be 250 winners for each of the autograph sessions. The winning ticket numbers will be posted at the designated autograph stage no less than 30 minutes prior to each player's session.
Autograph proceeds benefit Brewers Community Foundation. Please note that cash is the only acceptable form of payment for autographs.
A detailed schedule of all events will be released next week.


In our years of operation and effective continuity in aiding the less privileged especially ids in small communities, we have found out that the greatest concentration of kids with the description above are found in orphanages. that begs the question, what is the training and skills that these kids receive in these orphanages? For us to successfully be part and parcel of improving the lives of the kids with these basic needs, we though it wise to visit orphanages in the communities in which we operate. this project which is really new, focuses on visiting orphanages with support, then give training to those who are interested in what we are offering, and present them with opportunities in other ares of life.
We started with major orphanages that are well known for this first edition. we had help and aid in material resources as well as classes and lessons in different domains. Below are the orphanages we visited in our first ever edition of orphanage tours.

Martin Armstrong on Cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin, Ask-Socrates and the "Real Economy"
Markets 22 min, 24 sec READ
by Martin Banov
Economic forecaster Martin Armstrong on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and an explanation of Socrates, a SaaS economic forecasting engine.
Digital assets, experimental crypto-economies, and the democratization of finance are fairly novel phenomena that, unlike other more traditional commodities, assets and their markets, don't have too long a historicity we can draw upon to apply technical analysis in any reliable, meaningful way. Nor do these innovation-driven markets-in-the-making directly lend themselves to the same rules and laws that govern other, traditional economies and markets. For example, entrepreneurs may be considered irrational or driven by extrarational motivations, according to standard economic theory, which often reduces economic agents to the homo economicus of the self-interested paper-clip maximizer.
McAfee "influencing" his followers and pumping up morale.
Despite all that, there's no shortage of loud voices in the cryptosphere: experts and forecasters, "Wall Street veterans" turned "Bitcoin maximalists", advisors and advertisers, social media and youtube "influencers", celebrity endorsements, rumors sold as news, and exaggerated, unrealistic expectations. In all the media pollution, it's difficult to distinguish the signal from the noise, even less so to get a clear picture of the landscape as it is -- without the hype and hyperbole, terminological obscurantism and self-serving disinformation, the charlatanry of the snake oil merchants and the inflated enthusiasm of a pump and dump operation, vulgarly justifying unethical behavior by calling it laissez-faire business.
So, in such circumstances, it's always useful to hear what some established authorities in their domains (to which they have dedicated their life's work) have to say on the matter. Regardless of whether or not it appeals to what we want to hear or whether we agree or not. Without a doubt, crypto-economies are an unusual phenomenon born from a combination of unusual circumstances and are highly experimental and multi-disciplinary in nature, so it's impossible to exhaust their potential and possibilities within a single conclusion, but we should also bear in mind the space and territories these economies occupy and not attribute properties to them without considering the interdependencies and power relations involved.
How the corporate-dominated Web 2.0 and the advertising and curation (as Google is more of a curation engine than it is a search engine) techniques it has established give rise, in turn, to flawed business models and the creation of false impressions. See also: David Graeber's new book, "Bullshit Jobs: A Theory"
Few people's opinions and analyses are as valued in as many circles (when it comes to monetary history, econometrics and economic forecasting) as that of Martin Armstrong, a well-known economic forecaster and institutional advisor active since the 1970's who incorporates machine learning and AI techniques (fancy terms for computerized statistics on steroids) in conjunction with mathematical models and extensive historical databases that trace the monetary, economic, and political history of the world (going way back, recording all major turns and events known since ancient times), to reveal global and long-term trends and correlations between markets, institutions, governments, investors, and geopolitics, etc. Armstrong's comprehensive methodology combined with all the data of accumulated experience is meant to provide the means for reliably recognizing events as they begin to gather up momentum by identifying subtle signs and patterns of behavior and then approximating the point at which they would eventually unfold.
His approach actively tracks global capital flows alongside all kinds of markets, instruments, and indices, correlating phenomena to the circumstances that have historically given rise to them. Armstrong has made many eerily on-the-spot forecasts and known to have accurately predicted major global economic events since the 1970s. A documentary about his life and work was released in 2014, called "The Forecaster".
Psychohistory, Isaac Asimov and "The Foundation"
Armstrong has on occasion been likened to Hari Seldon, the fictional mathematician from Asimov's famous "The Foundation" who dedicated his life to developing a branch of mathematics known as psychohistory (a concept of mathematical sociology) and who could forecast the future, but only on a large scale. In "The Foundation" Seldon foresees the inevitable fall of the Galactic Empire followed by dark ages lasting for tens of thousands of years but shows a way to significantly reduce that interval until another great empire arises. Similarly, Armstrong often tends to draw on Hume's guillotine to point out the inevitability of historical processes and our ignorance and epistemic arrogance in dealing with systems as complex as the world economy (regardless how noble our intentions), prioritizing how we can intelligently adapt to the nature of things and minimize unwanted consequences instead of vainly trying to fight with natural laws and forces we can't predictably control.
The Economic Confidence Model (ECM), Socrates and "Understanding the Real Economy"
Armstrong's model marked in advance the exact day of the 1987 October crash. Later, in an essay called "Understanding the Real Economy", he wrote that,
[He] never did expect this to work on such a precise time level. [Explaining further that he] spent a lot of time trying to comprehend how such a model can even work on a specific level to a precise day, years and decades in advance, [and that] the only explanation is the subject matter is so intensely complex that there is indeed a hidden order within what would appear to be random chaos.

BTC Awakes from Slumber, But Not in the Way that HODLers Would Have Expected
The New Yorker dedicated a lengthy piece on Armstrong and his method in a 2009 article, "The Secret Cycle":
He had clients and offices overseas, and cultivated connections with central bankers, and with Margaret Thatcher. It was more sensible to suggest that his models, among them one called a Panic Cycle Model, which spotted big reversal days, were rooted in certain fundamentals and complex computer calculations, rather than in a simple mystical number.
The basis of his Economic Confidence Model (ECM) is grounded in the view that,
everything is connected in an intricate dynamic non-linear network where the slightest change in one region can set in motion a ripple effect of dramatic proportions around the world. Understanding this dynamic non-linear global network is the first step in restructuring government and our idea of managing our political-social-economy.
The Lorenz attractor is a system notable for having chaotic solutions for certain parameter values and initial conditions. In particular, the Lorenz attractor is a set of chaotic solutions of the Lorenz system (a system of ordinary differential equations first studied by Edward Lorenz) which, when plotted, resemble a butterfly or figure eight. Lorenz first described the behavior of deterministic chaos (i.e., systems whose deterministic nature does not make them predictable, which is different from a purely random stochastic process) which led to the formalization of chaos theory in the 1980s.
Martin Armstrong makes extensive use of models and notions from chaos theory in his models and methodologies. Chaos theory studies non-linear complex systems where small changes in parameter values result in unpredictable, qualitative changes in the system (e.g., the famous tale of the butterfly flapping its wings, causing a tsunami in the other end of the world). Bifurcations, for instance, model the quantitative or topological changes in the structure of a given family (such as changes in the qualitative structure of a dynamic system that is non-linear).
The model does not track individual markets in isolation, but the global phenomenon of international capital flows, as already mentioned. Each market retains its own cycle and rhythms and capital tends to concentrate into a single region and then into a single market, causing a bubble to form. When a market cycle correlates with the ECM, this alignment then unfolds the series of events leading to booms and busts.

Socrates is the platform incorporating Armstrong's models, proprietary algorithms, databases and methodologies used to research and interpret the global economic and political environment.
Socrates considers all potential economic and social variables by gathering data on everything from stocks, bonds, interest rates, and commodities to political trends, wars, and civil unrest. Socrates monitors nearly every currency in circulation to grasp a truly global perspective of the global economy. Most importantly, Socrates generates analyses without human intervention. This ensures that our analyses are non-subjective by removing the bias of personal observation.
-- From "Models and Methodologies, 2nd Edition", describing the models and methods employed by Armstrong.
Cliodynamics and Seshat, The Global History Databank
Armstrong's trans-disciplinary, facts-grounded and computer-driven approach is very similar to the one that has been employed in a related area of academic research known as cliodynamics since the early 2000s. Cliodynamics is defined as "a transdisciplinary area of research integrating cultural evolution, economic history/cliometrics, macrosociology, the mathematical modeling of historical processes during the longue durée, and the construction and analysis of historical databases", treating history as a science and developing theories that explain such processes as the rise and fall of empires, population booms and busts, spread and disappearance of religions, etc. These theories are translated into mathematical models which are then tested against data.
"Quantitative historical analysis uncovers a single dimension of complexity that structures global variation." A publication by cliodynamics researcher and population biologist Peter Turchin. The above diagram illustrates some of the categories of variables involved.
Thus, the building and analyzing of massive databases of structured historical and archaeological information is one of the most important goals of the discipline and the construction of Seshat, the global history databank, is an undertaking central to cliodynamics. Founded in 2011, it aims to "bring together the most current and comprehensive body of knowledge about human history in one place", claiming that "the huge potential of this knowledge for testing theories about political and economic development has been largely untapped." In the context of distributed crypto-economies, modern informational technology, and digital humanities, one could imagine something like Armstrong's Socrates built on top of Seshat in a more generalized manner and as a public service in the future (or otherwise "transform the field of historical social sciences into what the sociologist Randall Collins termed rapid-discovery science").
In any case, given Martin Armstrong's weight of experience and depth of understanding the dynamics of what drives the world market economy, it is interesting to see what he has to say about crypto-currencies and Bitcoin from the standpoint of his unique background and rich experience, which has led him to develop a sharp sense and intuition about the nature and function of the entities involved (states and their vassal governments, banking culture and politics, monetary policy and the Fed, etc.), the underlying motives driving their actions and how far certain actors are prepared to go in order to preserve their positions of power and influence. And, since we're on the subject, it is useful to actually provide the exact definition of what a "state" as a polity fundamentally is:
A state is a compulsory political organization with a centralized government that maintains a monopoly on the legitimate use of force within a certain geographical territory.
Source: Wikipedia.
Martin often reminds crypto enthusiasts and techno-libertarians that, after all, the state has all the police, armies, and tanks. Anyway, let's see what his view on crypto-currencies is and how they fit in the overall landscape of today's turbulent and chaotic world in the midst of a historical state transition.
"Crypto-currencies" Are Neither Money Nor World Currencies, But Financial Instruments, Trading Vehicles, and Assets of Various Kinds
In a blog post entitled "Have Cryptocurrencies Become a Religion?" Armstrong writes:
If we are talking about simple Bitcoin as a trading vehicle, then fine. We added it to the Global Market Watch and Socrates because it is a tradable asset. It is really just like everything else that trades. Socrates called the high in Bitcoin simply because it complied with the trading patterns like everything else that is really not the asset, but how humans interact with that asset (Behavioural Economics). Its value is based upon ANTICIPATION and that need not be real, possible, and it may be outright impossible. If you believe in something you react according to your beliefs even if it is completely irrational.
Cryptocurrencies are trading vehicles. Cryptocurrencies will NEVER replace the dollar or world currencies. Do you really think governments will simply allow such a venture to take all their power away without a fight? Cryptocurrencies are worthless without a power grid. That is a disadvantage even to mackerel. That said, it does not stop Bitcoin from being a trading asset, but it is not money. It trades on a belief system of some that are completely irrational of which you will NEVER convince the majority to agree with them any more than they could with gold.
The monetary system will come to an end as we know it today. It will be replaced with an electronic reserve currency among nations. That will NOT be something that you use to go shopping with. I do not care what you call money. It is nothing more than a unit of account and a medium of exchange. It historically sits on the opposite side of assets. Bitcoin is still an asset – it is NOT money. If Bitcoin were money, then it would decline in purchasing power when assets rise.
Asked whether crypto-currencies would survive a monetary crisis, he explains:
The year 2018 was the start of the Monetary Crisis. We had a shot that this could all come undone in 2018. However, you are correct. All we achieved was a false rally with the Euro stopping just shy of our number and gold struggled admirably but could not get through 1362.
There were many other markets also confirming that we are dealing with only the beginning of the crisis here in 2018 rather than the conclusion including the consolidation in the stock market without election any monthly bearish reversals. The monetary reset can arrive during the next window in time come 2021 if we get the dollar at new highs. Then the monetary system will crack. However, this could drag out to the third window which is of course 2032. That appears to be more the shift of the Financial Capital of the World to China at that time.
These are the turning points. The Reversals are the key which confirms or denies the trend. My opinion as to the future is still an opinion. I will say this. As long as cryptocurrencies are an asset class, then they will survive a monetary crisis along with all other assets. Assets are the ONLY thing that survives the collapse of a currency.
Tangible assets are on the opposite side of whatever the currency is in use. When the stock market rises, the purchasing power of the currency declines. When the stock market crashes, then the purchasing power of the currency rises. They are on OPPOSITE sides. Do you really want a cryptocurrency to be a currency or asset? Most people pitching them are really explaining an alternative asset – not a currency.
In another blog post, "Are Cryptocurrencies A Fictional Dream?", the question of the critical dependence on the electricity grid is raised:
There are a lot of problems with the technology and it would clearly make the entire economy vulnerable to a crisis in the failure of platforms or the power grid. Goldman Sachs sees the opportunity because of all the fraud. They are looking at stepping in as a CUSTODIAN because the integrity of the security behind a cryptocurrency is often questionable.
In war, you target the electricity grid as a first objective and then the total economy would collapse as well as the effort to fund a war. During a war, governments have often counterfeited each other's currency. The British did that with American colonial currency. If they could undermine the confidence and cause hyperinflation, then funding the war effort would collapse. Today, you would do this by hacking and targeting the power grid.
In all the high-level meetings I have had about this technological innovation, the single greatest concern is would it make a nation more vulnerable during a war? Can a cyber attack simply paralyze the economy? Keep in mind that only about 4% of the economy takes place in cash. The rest is electronic deposits. Therefore, this threat is NOT limited to cryptocurrencies. It may very well be the next way to win a war. Attack the banking system and you will freeze the ability to fund a war. Don't think they are not thinking about that right now.
Elsewhere he further explains:
Socrates picked the high in Bitcoin perfectly. How? Why? Very simple in fact. No matter what instrument you look at, the chart is not actually that instrument. It is a chart of HUMAN emotion relating TO THAT instrument. The chart of silver from 1980 is similar to that of Bitcoin. Back then, they were touting silver would go to $100. They swore it would do that any day for the next 19 years. We have people in Bitcoin swearing it is going to $100,000 and become the new reserve currency. That is such a joke for any currency to be worth that much would guarantee it cannot be used in commerce since most transactions are small. Then to be the reserve currency means governments would have to issue debt in Bitcoin. Come on! Are these claims even practical?
In yet another blog post, "Can Cryptocurrencies Survive?", Armstrong points out Bitcoin's utility as a back alley for siphoning cash and in money laundering operations (calling it "the biggest money laundering scam in Chinese history", given its use in diverting capital out of China), pointing out the paradoxes implied in the notion that Bitcoin could constitute a world currency or a replacement of money and the current global financial system:
Bitcoin became the LEADING means of money laundering and movement of cash out of China, circumventing their rule of law and currency controls. So do not think for one minute that Bitcoin rose because it was really a wonderful idea?
The government has the army, tanks, and the guns and soon robot soldiers. Until the army is willing to turn against the hand that feeds them, which is why they are developing robot soldiers, you cannot stand with cryptocurrency and claim some magical right to suppress government and central banks. You need the power grid!
I have been skeptical about the claims that cryptocurrencies will replace all money and central banks and end banking creating money out of thin air. That would be recreating the Dark Age. For that to take place there can be no lending. The mortgage market would collapse and the value of the property would fall to less than 10% of its worth becomes the maximum someone has cash as was the case during the Great Depression. This hatred of central banks is stupid. The money they create is less than 10% of the money supply. The bulk is created through lending and fractional banking.
And more recently, on the absurdity of exaggerated claims about Bitcoin and IMF's recent report, "Casting Light on Central Bank Digital Currencies":
There was no possible way governments would EVER hand over such power to Bitcoin. These people have no clue about the age of knowledge, for they are trapped in the age of stupidity. A monthly closing below 2950 will confirm the long-term trend is turning down. A year-end closing below 4150 will point to a drop back to 775 area. It was a trading vehicle – not an investment class for the long-term. With the IMF telling all central banks to create their own cryptocurrency and the introduction of Blockchain in experimenting with tax collection, we face a very different future due to technology. However, it will not be a world of free-market cryptos that bring governments to their knees.
He goes on to further explain the possible implications of the technology (blockchains and distributed ledgers) for the state actors, governments and financial institutions themselves:
With adopting cryptocurrencies that governments would control, we will come one step closer to losing all our freedom. Central banks could enforce negative interest rates with cryptocurrencies and thus people would find their accounts just garnished. You could not hoard cash and withdraw it from banks. They are also looking at this as a way to manage a banking crisis stopping runs on banks. This technology is also causing those in the hunting of tax revenues to lick their lips.
The issuance of digital currencies would allow central banks to remain in control of the money supply far more so than they are today. Sweden is moving forward and there we see that the use of cash is rapidly disappearing.
Cryptocurrency technology would allow also the taxman to just cometh and take whatever he desires in the midst of the economic crisis we face. The Central Banks would be able to maintain greater control over the creation of money through the process of leverage (bank lending).
In other words, as with any technology, it depends on what it is used for and by whom. As such, it can also be employed as an even more efficient instrument of capture and control. A possibility that many enthusiastic advocates and evangelists out there may not have given sufficient thought when calling for mass adoption (getting the "moms and dads" in, etc.) of highly experimental technologies in their early phases of inception.
To add to that, given the enormous waste of actual resource that fuels Bitcoin and the so-called proof-of-work network consensus at its current rate (more than what entire developed countries consume and more than twice that of gold and other precious metals), it doesn't sound realistic to assume it will become a "world currency" in any practically applicable way, nor a "store of value" given the volatility swings, general uncertainty, and long list of mishaps and flaws. No technology could in itself resolve issues that are fundamentally socio-economic in nature.
As for "digital gold", this is also something of an obvious misnomer - the only digital gold is that you find in computer games. So, it might also be useful to pay a little more attention to language and remind ourselves what a metaphor implies.
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence: Lessons from Socrates
Many trading systems and strategies are also "trained" on datasets, but the capacity to learn is limited to the extent and quality of the data ("garbage in-garbage out"), as well as the sets of machine learning (which is really at bottom another name for statistics) techniques applied and the extent to which they are adequately suited for the purpose at hand.
An excerpt from Armstrong's essay, "Understanding the Real Economy"
Asked whether advances in quantum computing and various forms of cloud and edge computing could possibly match the predictive power of his models, Armstrong explains:
The long-term database is essential. That cost more than $100 million to assemble and quite frankly, nobody seems to be willing to spend that much. This is why all prior models have collapsed creating economic catastrophes such as Long-Term Capital Management debacle. They collapsed again in 2007. Nevertheless, then you have the problem of Neutral Nets are just incapable of handling the vast array of variables. The attempts to create trading models are all flat-model based. Our system has made so many accurate forecasts for so long on so many markets around the globe that I do not even comment on. It is far too much for me to even write about. That is the whole purpose of Socrates.
I had to design a completely different programming technique to work out the complexity. Just image calculating every market in the world in 35 different currencies. The number of variables is beyond comprehension. If we are talking about a limited number of variables for normal business operations, Neural Nets are fine. When it comes to market forecasting, they can develop a Deep Learning system on a single market, but without correlating this with all other markets, you will NEVER see the contagion coming. When everything crashed in 1998 because of the collapse in the Russian debt markets, the illiquidity caused funds to sell other assets to raise cash to cover losses elsewhere. The Russian bond collapse caused a massive sell-off in Japanese yen/dollar rate that had absolutely NOTHING to do with the fundamentals in Japan. Contagions always emerge externally so you can create a model and it will work for a while and then you lose everything.
Armstrong has also written quite a bit on machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. He has throughout his experience worked out proprietary ML techniques developed for the purpose of fleshing out a comprehensive framework for managing and understanding the global economy in how it all fits together in the non-linear dynamics of things in motion, beyond the theoretical underpinnings of is-oughts.
Ask-Socrates: An Economic Forecasting AI and Software-as-a-Service
Socrates is currently undergoing major upgrades, adding another 9,000 instruments to the presently covered 1,000. Employing technical analysis, Socrates automatically writes reports and conclusions which progressively add to the wealth of recorded data. As Armstrong explains: "The whole object here is to provide consistent analysis that is FREE from any human bias, conflict of interest, or personal opinion." In line with the ambition of providing "the best management tool for society moving into the future."
The efficacy of Socrates is demonstrated by anecdotes such as the recent "How Can Socrates Forecast The Biogen Crash Today?" To the question of how Socrates could possibly know if an Alzheimer's trial would get scrapped, Armstrong explains:
I believe it is the same thing as war. Someone knows they will invade in advance and take positions accordingly. Socrates seems to pick many things like this. Chances are, there were people inside who knew the truth and began to sell creating a pattern that Socrates picked up.

West Papua: High school student assassinated by Indonesian police
Kerry Smith
A protest by Papuans against Indonesian repression, September 29. Photo from ipahr.wordpress.com.
Indonesian police shot two senior high school students in Gorong Gorong, Timika, West Papua on September 28, the Institute for Papuan Advocacy and Human Rights (IPAHR) said the next day.
The IPAHR said 17-year-old Kaleb Bogau was shot in the chest and died on the scene. Efrando Sabarofek, also 17, was shot in the chest and leg and is in a critical condition in the Timika hospital.
The family of Bogau is treating the case as a political assassination. He was the son of National Committee for West Papua (KNPB) activist Reverend Obed Bogau.
Obed Bogau was reported to have received an apology via text message from the regional chief of police Paulus Waterpau. It was reported that Bogau refused the apology, saying Indonesia had killed too many Papuans and was treating them like animals.
He asked the police to properly investigate this case, as well as the recent killing of Kamoro students by the military at a traditional ceremony in the Catholic Church in Timika last month.
The KNPB is a non-violent movement seeking independence from Indonesia. It is made up of mostly youth and students who are active in all major centres across Papua. Indonesian military intelligence has identified the KNPB as the prime target for counterinsurgency operations.
Within the past year, there have been at least five cases of civilian shootings in Papua by soldiers or police force. Eight people have died as a result.
The IPAHR's Paula Makabory said: "This Indonesian police assassination is directed against Papuan youth and the KNPB in an attempt to quell political protest by a new generation of Papuans.
"This political assassination of a West Papuan youth should draw international condemnation.
"The Pacific Island Forum this month has talked about sending a human rights fact finding mission to West Papua. The Indonesian foreign minister had said it was wrong for the Pacific Island Forum to speak about the internal affairs of Indonesia.
"The Australian and New Zealand government appear to have sided with Indonesia to attempt to sideline attempts for international access and attention to the human rights situation.
"It is clearly time that our brothers and sisters in the Pacific and wider international community condemn Indonesia for its callous and vicious State control over the West Papuan people."

Discovering a new news ecosystem
When a reporter does a deep-dive investigation, a typical result is a three-part weekend series. When Michele McLellan dug deep into how local, online journalists were making a living, the result was a three-year series of annual conferences that spawned a national nonprofit organization.
The project started when McLellan, as good journalists do, questioned the standard narrative. In this case, the narrative was that newspapers were in decline and that quality journalism would necessarily decline with it.
She thought there was more to the story. She landed a fellowship with the Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri and started to check it out.
"I knew of some startups — this was in 2009 — that were doing good work," McLellan says. "I decided to find as many online startups as I could and look at the quality of their work."
Along with a research assistant, she reviewed 1,400 local news sites. Filtering only for operators who were actively seeking revenue to support themselves, she created a list — Michele's List — of 150 sites that met her criteria. Then she wrote up and released a report that described who they were, what they were doing and how they were making money.
"It was a more accurate description of what was happening in journalism," McLellan says.
And that was the end of it. At first.
But then she got to thinking — what if she brought them all together? What might they learn from each other?
"These [sites] are one or two people laid off from the newsroom or who took the buyout and still want to do local news," McLellan says. But, while they knew how to do local news, they didn't know how to make money from it. "We identified that as the key issue and decided to bring them together."
In 2010, with funding from RJI and other granting organizations, McLellan put together the first Block by Block conference in Chicago and invited her 150 online news operators. Because they all operated on shoestring budgets, she also provided travel funds. The only risk they had to take was with their time.
They came.
"I think we had about 100 of them," McLellan remembers. "This was 2010. They'd all been toiling in isolation. They [hadn't known] they all existed. They certainly had never been recognized or received help from anyone. It was electric. They just were so hungry to talk to each other and exchange information about what they were learning."
The first year focused on convincing the publishers that they needed to actively raise money — which meant overcoming the idea that good journalism would find its own funding by itself — and that they could do it.
By popular demand, McLellan organized a second Block by Block the next year, which focused on how generating revenue was done, both in the for-profit and not-for-profit business models.
At that second conference, attendees started talking about formalizing the connections they were building into a professional organization that could help members throughout the year. After the third and final Block by Block conference the next year, a new industry association was born called Local Independent Online News (LION). The group is still going strong and hosts its own annual conferences.
Meanwhile, McLellan kept adding to Michele's List and surveying the list members, mostly asking about their finances, which were still the limiting factor for most local online news sites.
Eventually she received funding from other organizations to expand this work, which complements her other consulting work in developing training programs in digital strategy, leadership and organizational development.
"This added whole areas of research that I've continued," she says.

Wildlife experts are reporting increasing numbers of Atlantic bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantic bluefins are highly prized by the fishing industry. The fish can weigh up to 454 kilograms. Its meat is often used in sushi products sold at Japanese restaurants.
But experts had been worried about the Atlantic bluefin. The species was listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The United States government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says improved law enforcement appears to be helping the Atlantic bluefin recover after years of overfishing.
The popular fish all but disappeared from the Gulf of Maine about 10 years ago. This year, fishers set a record by catching 30 Atlantic bluefin. One of the fish weighed 363 kilograms.
International regulators have eased the catch limits for U.S. fishermen this year, increasing the quotas by more than 180,000 kilograms.
But environmental groups warn increasing the new limits will undo years of wildlife protection efforts.
Grantly Galland is an officer of Global Tuna Conservation at The Pew Charitable Trusts.
Tuna has been at the center of a long battle between the fishing industry and environmentalists. Fishers who can make large amounts of money on a single fish. Environmentalists seek to protect the Atlantic Bluefin. Yet many consumers are willing to pay high prices to eat them.
Walt Golet is a professor of marine biology at the University of Maine. He says probably no other fish has been more politicized than the Atlantic bluefin tuna.
Julie Taboh reported this story for VOA News. Jonathan Evans adapted her report for Learning English. George Grow was the editor.

The Plasma CPU is a small synthesizable 32-bit RISC microprocessor. It is currently running a live web server with an interrupt controller, UART, SRAM or DDR SDRAM controller, and Ethernet controller. The Plasma CPU executes all MIPS I(TM) user mode instructions except unaligned load and store operations (see "Avoiding Limitations" below).
This "clean room" CPU core is implemented in VHDL with either a two or three-stage pipeline. It is running at 25 MHz on a Xilinx FPGA and also verified on an Altera FPGA.
The Plasma CPU along with the Plasma RTOS and TCP/IP protocol stack are now running a live Web Server on a Xilinx FPGA.
1. The "pc_next" entity passes the program counter (PC) to the "mem_ctrl" entity which fetches the opcode from memory.
2. The memory returns the opcode.
3. "Mem_ctrl" passes the opcode to the "control" entity.
4. "Control" converts the 32-bit opcode to a 60-bit VLWI opcode and sends control signals to the other entities.
5. Based on the rs_index and rt_index control signals, "reg_bank" sends the 32-bit reg_source and reg_target to "bus_mux".
6. Based on the a_source and b_source control signals, "bus_mux" multiplexes reg_source onto a_bus and reg_target onto b_bus.
7. Based on the alu_func control signals, "alu" adds the values from a_bus and b_bus and places the result on c_bus.
8. Based on the c_source control signals, "bus_mux" multiplexes c_bus onto reg_dest.
9. Based on the rd_index control signal, "reg_bank" saves reg_dest into the correct register.
10. Read or write memory if needed.
The Plasma Version 3 core now contains a bidirectional serial port, interrupt controller, and hardware timer. Version 3.5 added a DDR SDRAM controller, Ethernet MAC, and Flash interface. There is C and assembly code for the Plasma Real-Time Operating System -- a fully preemptive RTOS supporting threads, semaphores, mutexes, message queues, timers, heaps, an interrupt manager, ANSI C library, single precision floating point library, TCP/IP protocol stack, and Web server.
code.txt Input opcodes for the test bench -- test.axf "converted"
makefile Makefile for the PC for creating "code.txt"
The Opencores Subversion web page can create the 130KB plasma_latest.tar.gz file containing all the latest code.
If you use Windows and don't have a Microsoft C compiler for Windows, you will need pre-compiled versions of the tools (rename as tools.zip) which should be placed in the tools directory.
You may also need a Windows version of gmake. Rename the file gmake_zip.odt to gmake.zip before unzipping.

The Plasma CPU project has been placed into the public domain by its original author and is free for commercial and non-commercial use.
Most RISC CPUs have limited support for unaligned memory accesses. The GCC MIPS compiler does not normally generate unaligned memory accesses. Try compiling a C program and then look in the listing file if any of these MIPS instructions are used: LWL, LWR, SWL, or SWR. If needed, there is a GCC patch to never generate unaligned memory accesses at ultra-embedded->GCC Modifications.
The second main limitation of the Plasma CPU is that exceptions (BREAK and SYSCALL opcodes) must not be placed immediately after a branch instruction (in the branch delay slot). The main uses for exceptions are software interrupts for debugger support and calling operating system calls.
Several groups have published how they have used the Plasma CPU.


I do. I check my Facebook app when I wake up for any updates, my Gmail, TradeMe, the weather, News and Skype….you name it! I go into puzzles and games and why not check google earth once in a while in the hope to see places that I am yet to discover.
When do this frenzy started? There was the time when only my alarm clock mattered…then came the beepers. I used to recite poems and love letters to the stranger on the other side of the phone who was typing the message for me. Then came the Chat rooms and the feel of a world out there to reach and communicate with!
Facebook came along and changed everything, even MySpace. It took me two years to join Facebook and another one to buy my first iPod touch. After that came the Macbook, Macbook pro, Macbook air, the iMac, the iPad *I want one so much! (Dear Santa, are you listening?)and now the Apple Tv.
My partner bought one the other day as his own Christmas present. It is TV reinvented. All is streaming online and connecting with your computer wirelessly. You can access your photo galleries, music, documents and videos and watch them in you flat screen TV ( like if our 21.5 " computer screen is not big enough). It is the HD content what makes is special you see? I have to say though… I still cant figure out how to search the thousands of channels and content, podcasts, videos, etc. But I guess it is a matter of time, I mean who can keep up with all this Gadget madness! One day I will not only sleep with my iPod touch, I will probably be able to stream my dreams live into my WordPress blog, Facebook page or tweeter with the right app right?

Buckhorn Road: What became of the Kelo decision?
What became of the Kelo decision?
In 2005, a 5-4 majority of the United States Supreme Court passed down a decision which, in my opinion, will go down in the annals of the Court's history as one of their worst - right down there with Dred Scott vs. Sandford.
In the case of Kelo vs. New London, Connecticut, the Court gave the greenlight to the city of New London to tear down the homes of Susette Kelo and the rest of her neighbors in the city's Fort Trumbull neighborhood. It was the intention of New London to raze the neighborhood's houses in order to make way for a Pfizer plant, a hotel, and condos.
So, New London has had control of that land for the last four years. How is that redevelopment coming along? Read this article from National Journal Online and prepare yourself for the wave of nausea that will envelope you. And as you read, keep in mind that New London's big argument before the court is that this neighborhood needed to be destroyed in order to obtain higher tax revenue from the new businesses that would be built there instead.

Клавдия Прокофьевна Козлёнкова (25 сентября 1926, Красное, Липецкая область, СССР — 8 августа 2005, Москва) — советская и российская киноактриса.

Биография
Клавдия Прокофьевна Козлёнкова родилась 25 сентября 1926 года в деревне Красное Лев-Толстовского района (в то время Рязанская губерния, ныне Липецкая область). Вскоре семья переехала в Москву, где жила на Сретенке. Ещё будучи школьницей сыграла эпизодическую роль гимназистки в фильме Леонида Лукова «Это было в Донбассе» (1945).

После школы поступила поначалу в Институт иностранных языков, но окончила лишь подготовительное отделение итальянского языка. В 1946 году поступила в школу-студию МХАТ, но проучилась только два года и перешла в Театральное училище имени Б. В. Щукина, которое окончила в 1952 году. После этого с 1952 года короткое время работала в Московском областном драматическом театре, а затем с того же года — на киностудии имени Горького по договорам. С 1964 по 1990 годы была актрисой киностудии.

В основном играла роли второго плана и эпизодические роли, сыграла главную роль в фильме «Удивительная сила» (1965). Всего сыграла около ста ролей. Работала в дублировании иностранных кинофильмов и озвучивании фильмов киностудий союзных республик СССР.

Умерла 8 августа 2005 года в Москве на 79-м году жизни, похоронена на Химкинском кладбище (участок 76).

Questions, the new full-length recording from Jacob McCoy, is available now.
Jacob McCoy comes to us from Tulsa, OK, where he ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund his latest creation. We can thank the good people of the internet for coming together to support this Nashville transplant. He certainly brings a Music City attitude to his new Tulsan identity: a little bit slick, and a little bit serious, peppered with a steely wisdom-of-the-plains. Questions, the lead track, sets a loquacious tone for the entire listen, and you come quickly up to speed on the poetic mastery of McCoy's lyrics.
Make You Mine, the next track, is a simple acoustic back and forth, but the roots band elements add a southern rock sensibility to the list of influences, and it brings the conversation into pop territory with some really strong harmonies. Freight Train feels like an instant hoedown classic; it has that requisite stomp, the lovers' conversation, and the handclaps. By the time you get to track 4 - All I Need: the energy is picking up, the shoes are off, and all of a sudden we are slowing down. It's a lesson we will learn over the course of the recording: we didn't know what we were missing; and most of us don't know what we want. The voice and lyricism here will remind you how easy it is to be free - you just have to let go of your expectations.
Maybe that's what we are doing here: riding with our ears in a boat on the river of McCoy's life, listening to his heart making sense of it all. It is the sound of movement, of migration, of difficult choices, and easy ones; the sound of love, and after-the-fact analysis, painted with the brush of poetry and steel-string guitar.
Track 5 - Iona (Forevermore) emerges as the first full chamber-pop opus, the majestic high-drama and binary dynamics creating an emotional ebb and flow that really delivers on a message of true love. It encapsulates the risk and reward of a relationship in its folds, in the direct language from heart to page, and in the beautiful vulnerability of deep commitment. Iona (Forevermore) is as self-affirming an ode as love has ever had.
And that's where McCoy leaves us: in the nuzzle of old regret, wondering out loud to the world. The next track Got A Hold On Me retreats into the generality of a nameless woman; and Rear View Mirror is, as it sounds, a personal retrospective. Even a few songs later, the double-punch of Iona and Jess will leave you remembering McCoy's loves, as if they were your own. And that is the closest thing to love that a memory can give you.
McCoy's track Cat and Mouse is featured on our Roots Collection playlist.
A rhapsodic collection of songs teaches us that we are who we decide to be, and every day can be a chance to reinvent.
It's the philosophical equivalent of a disparate garden, abiding ten very different flowers.
The songwriting is effortless, juxtaposing a lilted melody with an intermittent and atmospheric drum groove.

The frustrating absence of rich details of Shakespeare's daily life has arguably resulted in some somewhat strained works of biography, but has also doubtless contributed to the development of a literary sub-genre where Shakespeare himself is cast as a character. This selective list of notable examples in the collections of Senate House Library emphasises those that are most likely to be overlooked or forgotten.
A fancifully full novel, told from the perspective of one John Lacy, a fellow actor of Shakespeare's.
A readable blending of historical fact and unexamined tradition.
Dane, Clemence [pseudonym of Winifred Ashton], Will Shakespeare: An Invention, (London, 1921). The Library holds two copies of this biographical play, one in an attractively illustrated limited edition.
A novel imaginatively recasting Shakespeare's life from boyhood to death.
An intriguing script for an unmade film, an allegorical presentation of the process of Hamlet's first performance.
An Edwardian account for children of the development of 'tall sturdy Will Shakespeare'.
An extensively researched yet vivid biographical novel.
A lively novel of Shakespeare's training as an actor.
A breathless novel of Shakespeare's boyhood for younger readers.
Williams, Robert Folkestone, Youth of Shakespeare (London, 1839).
Three-volume novel by a popular historian, historical novelist and magazine journalist.
This list includes works attempting to extend biographical knowledge of Shakespeare, but it intentionally excludes those doing so in order to demonstrate unorthodox theories of authorship. This bibliography intentionally foregrounds those biographies which might easily be overlooked, simply because they are older, or because they tend towards the more unreliabl, or fanciful manifestations of a desire to know the playwright. Those looking for scholarly recent lives of Shakespeare should consult this list. Drawn from several continents and from across three centuries, together these works give a vivid and immediate portrait of changing conceptions of who Shakespeare was, or perhaps who we have needed him to be.
