Heroin is the most notoriously corrupt drug in this world we live in. There are a myriad of movie scenes glorifying a heroin-addicted protagonist in them. There are endless novels and memoirs written on heroin and its effects. The mysteriously powerful drug has been made even more popular by current pop culture. It is perceived as the most enigmatic drug to have ever existed in history.
Deaths linked to heroin overdoses are becoming so prevalent that they have simply lost the shock factor they once had in the 1990's. In fact, the term "heroin chic" was invented in the '90's in an attempt at advertising the unhealthy, bone-thin look to models and girls who aspired to look like models. However, this popular street drug has made its come back since the '90's and has become a slow, insidious killer that has destroyed countless lives. We see the personal horror stories of so many addicts exploited all over the internet due to this drug; even cherished celebrities are included in the mix. We see these futile attempts at deterring today's youth from heroin sometimes backfiring. How did heroin come into existence and what is contributing to the increase of its use? Looking into the history of heroin can provide some information.
Morphine was first manufactured in the 1850's as a mistaken solution to opium addicts, supposedly as a "non-addictive" substitute for opium. Of course, this strategy backfired and soon enough the gravity of morphine addiction followed as an even bigger issue than opium. This failure was even further complicated by another "solution" under the guise of yet another drug. This other drug was the infamous heroin. The result? Heroin confirmed to be even more addictive than morphine, causing it to now be known as one of the most dangerously addictive substances on the planet.
It has turned into the most accessible and cheapest way for the people who end up becoming addicted to their opiate prescription painkillers to get their fix once their prescription runs out. Not only that, but it is now one of the major street drugs ranking as the second most harmful drug in the world. Harmful is a strong word, but heroin is an even stronger substance with a high reported to induce the most intense euphoria there is.
There are a few ways to administer heroin. One of these ways is smoking it; another is snorting or sniffing it. However, the most common way to do heroin remains by injecting it, which creates the strongest and most potent effect of all. Not only is sticking a needle into your arm the most common form of administration, but it is also the most dangerous. The risk involved in this unhygienic activity can be collapsed veins, which can lead to infections of the blood vessels and heart valves.
Sharing needles can lead the user to contracting AIDS or other contagious infections as well. Additionally, it is reported that about 70% of the 35,000 people who get Hepatitis C2, a liver disease, each year in the U.S. are from sharing heroin needles.
Like all things in life, success can be hard work. This truism is extended to the success of recovering from an addiction to heroin. It is a tough state of affairs when one is withdrawing from heroin, but the person need not go through it again should they decide to remain clean and sober once and for all. Heroin withdrawal is an intensely painful process, normally peaking anywhere between 48 to 72 hours into the process. It starts within 8 hours after giving up the drug. The withdrawal symptoms can last up to a week. The longer someone is hooked to heroin, the worse the withdrawal will be, as it is with any detox situation from any drug.
Though super painful, it is not unbearable and many people have even gone through heroin withdrawal cold turkey. The trick is to keep the addict distracted from the pain. The good news is that once the addict has gone through the detox process, the worst part of becoming clean from heroin is over with. After that, it is all about being able to cope with everyday life as your new sober self.
There are some signs to look out for if you suspect someone you know is addicted to heroin. These are depression, euphoria, mood swings, anxiety, avoiding people they were once close with, weight loss, scabs and/or bruises, prolonged sleeping sessions, lack of motivation, extreme itching, wearing either long sleeved shirts or long pants despite hot weather, track marks and nodding off during conversation. Obviously, there are factors, which could be unique to the individual; these symptoms could vary in combination or intensity depending. Because heroin addiction is probably the sneakiest type of addiction, it can go undetected for years that a person has a heroin habit. It is even difficult for people who live with them or are even married to them to detect that there is an addiction issue. That being said, if you suspect someone you know is a heroin addict, sometimes you have got to really dig deep to find what you're looking for. It is definitely far from a typically overt kind of drug habit.
There are a lot of negative effects that come along with a long-term habit of using heroin. Some of these are skin diseases, liver diseases and kidney diseases, to name just a few. The health of a heroin addict is obviously at a very decreased level. Heroin addict can also cause tuberculosis. In addition, Arthritis has been linked to long-term heroin abuse.
The rate of addiction is unnervingly high. It is estimated that 1.5 million Americans are chronic users. Taking into consideration this does not even include the people who still use in a non-chronic fashion; this paints a picture that, somewhat like a car crash, is hard to look away from. It is the metaphorical car crash of this country's heroin epidemic. This is compounded by the fact that more people are becoming addicted to prescription pills and, in turn, resort to using heroin. The urge to chase the dragon is a perpetual battle that heroin addicts deal with, even years into their sobriety. We hear stories of people giving up their dreams, their jobs, stealing money and possessions from their loved ones, all for the purpose of even a taste of heroin.
Even the notion of one last fix will drive an addict to these despicable actions. Yet it is this very notion that keeps the addict addicted. Heroin is a curse, which will always be there, but the addict can leave the trap anytime they want. Discipline seems to be the most powerful factor to keeping addicts clean. It is this discipline that draws the line between the addict who eventually becomes homeless or may simply die due to the abuse, and the once-addicted recovering addict who just has to cope with life in a more refined manner than they once did.

Paxton, Robert O.
The Anatomy of Fascism (Allen Lane History)
Description (from Amazon) What is Fascism? How can we comprehend it? Fascism was a major political innovation of the 20th century and the source of much of its pain. This book shows that we cannot understand the phenomenon in the abstract, but only in terms of its actions.
My review: 4/5 More than a review, I will let the author speak, after doing my second run through the book, this time focusing on origins and how to avoid its recurrence (of which we keep having way too many examples, since the fall of the Berlin Wall)
The Anatomy of Fascism
Robert O. Paxton
P17:
Hannah Arendt observed that Mussolini "was probably the first party leader who consciously rejected a formal program and replaced it with inspired leadership and action alone" Origins, p. 325, n. 39
[Yes, the "neither right nor left" was part of European politics a century ago]
P215:
...some countries with a powerful cultural preparation (France, for example) became fascist only by conquest (if then).
Fascism... is still visible today. Fascism exists at the level of Stage One within all democratic countries... "Giving up free institutions," especially the freedoms of unpopular groups, os recurrently attractive to citizens of Western democracies... We know from tracing its path that fascism does not require a spectacular "march" on some capital to take root; seemingly anodyne decisions to tolerate lawless treatment of national "enemies" is enough. Something very close to classical fascism has reached Stage Two in a few deeply troubled societies. Its further progress is not inevitable, however. Further fascist advances toward power depend in part upon the severity of a crisis, but also very largely upon human choices, especially the choices of those holding economic, social, and political power. Determining the appropriate responses to fascist gains is not easy, since its cycle is not likely to repeat itself blindly. We stand a much better chance of responding wisely, however, if we understand how fascism succeeded in the past.


A few days ago Eldritch Arts sent me three of their more popular dice boxes to check out: Deep One, Elemental Flame, and Elven Tree. Eldritch Arts is based out of Stanwood, Washington. They produce a number of beautiful laser-cut Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) dice boxes that they sell on Etsy.com. Jatoba is a strong, wear-resistant, reddish-colored wood (twice the hardness of oak). This makes for a sturdy case to guard and display your dice set.
The detail on these dice boxes is excellent and Eldritch Arts offers about 20 different designs to choose from. Each box has a unique relief image laser-cut into the lid. The lid is held tight to the base of the box by two magnets ensuring that your dice don't fall out. Each box measures roughly 6"L x 1.25" W x 1"H and holds a full standard set of gaming dice. Additionally, they are felt lined to safely protect your dice.
It is difficult to find any real "flaws" in these boxes. They are made in the good old U.S.A. and even smell like freshly cut wood. They sell for $22 each, not bad for laser-cut wooden gaming products on the market these days. If you are regularly rolling dice or looking for a good gift for a friend, this is certainly a great option.


Veteran linebacker Bruce Carter, who provided needed depth for the Falcons last season, was signed to a one-year contract on Monday.

In 101 career games, Carter, a former starter with the Cowboys, has 327 tackles, five sacks and 14 quarterback hits. He has started 36 games.
Carter was drafted by the Cowboys in the second round of the 2011 draft. He's also spent some time with the Buccaneers.

*

*I'm using Maven version 3.0.5

*I cannot see the maven-nar-plugin in the Central Repository either

*I see it is available @ http://duns.github.io/maven-snapshots/. I don't know how to tell maven to look here. It's looking into (2) by default.

A: An official nar-maven-plugin version 3.0.0 has been released, and is now available from Maven Central. Two notes:

*

*The groupId and artifactId changed; the GAV is now:
<plugin>
    <groupId>com.github.maven-nar</groupId>
    <artifactId>nar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0</version>
</plugin>

*The cpptasks-parallel project has been merged into nar-maven-plugin, so no need to worry about that dependency anymore.
See also SO #15771086.

A: The nar plugin developers didn't add it to Maven Central. However, you can use the following module, which is a repackage of the nar plugin:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.codeswarm/maven-nar-plugin
It has been working fine for me.

Glen David Clark (* 22. November 1957 in Nanaimo) ist ein kanadischer Politiker. Er war vom 22. Februar 1996 bis zum 25. August 1999 Premierminister der Provinz British Columbia und Vorsitzender der British Columbia New Democratic Party (NDP).

Biografie
Clark studierte Politikwissenschaft an der Simon Fraser University und an der University of British Columbia. Beruflich war er als Gewerkschaftsaktivist im Lower Mainland tätig. Bei den Wahlen zur Legislativversammlung von British Columbia im September 1986 wurde er als Abgeordneter des Wahlbezirks Vancouver East gewählt. Nach dem Wahlsieg der NDP im Oktober 1991 ernannte ihn Premierminister Michael Harcourt zum Finanzminister. 1993 wechselte er ins Ministerium für Arbeit und Investitionen.

Am 22. Februar 1996 trat Harcourt zurück: Obwohl er nicht darin verwickelt gewesen war, übernahm er damit die Verantwortung für die "Bingogate"-Affäre, bei der ein Parteimitglied die Einnahmen eines Wohltätigkeits-Bingos in die Parteikasse hatte fließen lassen. Clark wurde zum neuen Parteivorsitzenden bestimmt und übernahm das Amt des Premierministers. Die NDP gewann die Wahlen im Mai 1996 äußerst knapp: Sie erzielte insgesamt weniger Stimmen als die British Columbia Liberal Party, konnte aber sechs Sitze mehr erringen und dadurch eine knappe Mehrheit halten.

In Clarks Regierungszeit fällt das "fast ferry fiasco" (Schnellfährenfiasko). Um die Schiffbauindustrie zu fördern, gab die Regierung den Bau neuer Katamarane für die staatliche Fährgesellschaft BC Ferries in Auftrag. Massive Kostenüberschreitungen und zahlreiche technische Probleme überschatteten den Bau der Schiffe. Clarks Weigerung, das Investitionsprogramm zu streichen, führte zu öffentlicher Kritik und zu einem massiven Popularitätsverlust der NDP. Ein weiterer Skandal betraf das Budget. Kurz nach den Wahlen 1996 enthüllten die Medien, dass die Zahlen manipuliert worden waren, um während des Wahlkampfes einen kleinen Überschuss präsentieren zu können. Nach den Wahlen gab die Regierung zu, dass die Provinz in Wahrheit ein großes Defizit erwirtschaftet hatte. Darüber hinaus befand sich British Columbia in einer Wirtschaftskrise.

Clark trat am 25. August 1999 überraschend zurück, nachdem er beschuldigt worden war, als Gegenleistung für die Bewilligung einer Casinolizenz von seinem Nachbarn Dimitrios Pilarinos eine Gratisrenovation im Wert von 10.000 Dollar angenommen zu haben. Die nachfolgende Strafuntersuchung verursachte einen Medienrummel, mit der Liveübertragung einer Durchsuchung von Clarks Haus durch die Royal Canadian Mounted Police als unrühmlichen Höhepunkt. Am 29. August 2002 sprach ihn das Oberste Gericht von British Columbia mangels Beweisen von allen Anklagepunkten frei.

Seit seinem Rückzug aus der Politik ist Clark beim Medienunternehmen Jim Pattison Group in verschiedenen leitenden Funktionen tätig.

Q: Get a User's email address from Twitter (Android) How can i get email address of a user via twitter API? I'm using Twitter4j for Sign in with twitter

A: I hope this will be work
please Use following code in your request call back result
 TwitterloginButton.setCallback(new Callback<TwitterSession>() {
            @Override
            public void success(Result<TwitterSession> result) {
                session = result.data;

                AccountService ac = Twitter.getApiClient(result.data).getAccountService();
                ac.verifyCredentials(true, true, new Callback<User>() {
                    @Override
                    public void success(Result<com.twitter.sdk.android.core.models.User> result) {

                        String imageUrl = result.data.profileImageUrl;
                        String email = result.data.email;
                        String Name = result.data.name;
                        long userid = result.data.id;
                        String username = result.data.screenName;

                        System.out.println(imageUrl);
                        System.out.println("EMAIL:" + email);
                        System.out.println("Name:" + Name);
                        System.out.println("ID:" + userid);
                        System.out.println("Username:" + username);
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void failure(TwitterException e) {

                    }
                });

A: check these links
https://dev.twitter.com/twitterkit/android/installation
https://dev.twitter.com/twitterkit/android/log-in-with-twitter
Write below code after successful login
TwitterAuthClient authClient = new TwitterAuthClient();
authClient.requestEmail(session, new Callback<String>() {
   @Override
    public void success(Result<String> result) {
    // Do something with the result, which provides the email address
}

@Override
public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
  // Do something on failure
}
});

A: first of all make sure you activated Request email addresses from users in your twitter app Permissions section

then follow Twitter Documentation steps:
1. Installation process: which simply imports the sdk package of twitter

and i'm using only the core package

compile 'com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter-core:3.1.1'

Initialize Twitter Kit on your Activity onCreate method
Twitter.initialize(this);

Add your App id and secret to strings.xml file
<string android:name="com.twitter.sdk.android.CONSUMER_KEY">XXXXXXXXXXX</string>
<string android:name="com.twitter.sdk.android.CONSUMER_SECRET">XXXXXXXXXXX</string>

2. Add the Button:
<com.twitter.sdk.android.core.identity.TwitterLoginButton
     android:id="@+id/twitter_connect"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

  HINT: you can use a custom button just follow this simple answer

private TwitterLoginButton twitterBtn;

...
twitterBtn = (TwitterLoginButton) findViewById(R.id.twitter_connect);
twitterBtn.setCallback(new Callback<TwitterSession>() {
    @Override
    public void success(Result<TwitterSession> result) {
        // Do something with result, which provides a TwitterSession for making API calls
        // which is do the callback from twitter to get the Email
        TwitterSession session = TwitterCore.getInstance().getSessionManager().getActiveSession();
        TwitterAuthToken authToken = session.getAuthToken();
        String token = authToken.token;
        String secret = authToken.secret;

        TwitterAuthClient authClient = new TwitterAuthClient();
        authClient.requestEmail(session, new Callback<String>() {
            @Override
            public void success(Result<String> result) {
                // Do something with the result, which provides the email address
                // the email is saved in the result variable 'result.data'
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Email" + result.data, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
                // Do something on failure
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
        // Do something on failure
    }
});

Next, pass the result of the authentication Activity back to the button:
// Pass the activity result to the login button.
twitterBtn.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

like so:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    // Pass the activity result to the login button.
    twitterBtn.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

A: Here Twitter sdk helps you to provide the email, You just need to provide the permission requesting for email. Twitter sdk will check for the visibility of the email on your twitter account,If it has the permission it will provide you the Email else we need to handle the if it doesn't send's the email.
client.requestEmail(twitterSession, new Callback<String>() {
        @Override
        public void success(Result<String> result) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Twitter success email : " + result.data);
            email = result.data;
            if (email == null){

Satisfied along a sigh of relief that it's finally Friday and finally the end of swimming. One kid passed, one didn't, but no one's disappointed or surprised. It was a hard swimming term, too many sick weeks and Swim Kids 3 gave William his first real challenges in the water, probably a good thing. But the best feat of all was getting William back on his bike, after an entire season of being too frightened, he just sort of got over it and jumped back on, but not without considerable contemplation, as you can see by the tongue.
Home care with D for the week is done, Bailey's pick up was relatively painless (everyone but me stayed in the car, it was a short list, I didn't plan well enough), and now kids are just finishing looking at books on their own in bed before lights out. Last night of swimming meant a french fries and wraps pick-up for dinner from Johnny Fresco's, perfect treat which also leaves very few dishes to do now. Nothing else for tonight except a quick tidy up, maybe half an hour spent on some rewriting, a movie with Scott and a bag for Toronto tomorrow to pack!! I know I won't be able to get to a computer tomorrow, so I'll make up for it somehow on Sunday.

Financier Jeffrey Epstein And Mount Sinai Hospital Support 3D Mammograms For Breast Cancer
Financier Jeffrey Epstein helps fund one of the few 3D mammograms available around the world.
www.jeffreyepstein.org
NEW YORK, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City is one of the few places in the world that provides 3D mammography to test for breast cancer. 3D mammography was installed just over a year ago and due to its success, has received additional support from science philanthropist, Jeffrey Epstein and his foundation, The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for women between the ages of 35 and 54, and the second leading cause of cancer death for women of all ages. This year, an estimated 40,000 will die from breast cancer. Early detection is critical for long term survival: when tumors are removed before metastasis, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. The rate lowers to 84% when metastasis spreads to the breast; and plummets to 23% once metastasis enters the blood stream.
Pioneered at Mass General Hospital in Boston, 3D mammography or tomosynthesis was FDA approved in February 2011. Unlike 2D mammography which takes one image of the breast, 3D mammography takes about 60 images. Images are transferred to 1mm digital slices, and radiologists can see the compilation from a three dimensional point of view.
2D mammograms are still essential in saving lives. However, 3D mammography has numerous benefits. It can detect tumor tissue that couldn't otherwise be seen, especially in fibrous breasts. It has reduced the number of false positives, helping radiologists to see a cyst or calcification that might otherwise be confused for a tumor under 2D mammography. It also gives doctors a better look at the topography of tumors: how they grow and spread.
"Early diagnosis is clearly critical to survival," Jeffrey Epstein affirms, whose foundation supports cutting edge science research around the world. "We are very excited that 3D mammography is playing a role in stopping breast cancer from developing."
The Dubin Breast Center is part of The Tisch Cancer Institute, located on the Mount Sinai School of Medicine campus and houses a range of highly advanced services, from prevention to survivorship.

Shim Eun-kyung (n. 31 de mayo de 1994) es una actriz surcoreana. Protagonizó las exitosas películas de cine Sunny (2011), Miss Granny (2014) y Fabricated City (2017),  e igualmente participó en televisión en la reconocida serie Naeil's Cantabile (2014).

Carrera
Shim debutó a los 9 años en la serie The Woman Who Wants to Marry, y posteriormente en su carrera fue una de las mejores actrices infantiles de su generación. Shim ganó atención por su papel de niña abusada sexualmente en la cinta de horror Hansel and Gretel, y sus actuaciones en series de tv tales como Hwang Jini, The Legend, Women of the Sun, y The Great Merchant; la crítica señalaba que Shim no deslucía frente a su contra parte adulta.

En 2011, dio exitosamente el paso hacia personajes protagónicos con Sunny. que se distingue por su recreación de detalles de la época de 1980, así como los diálogos y actuaciones del elenco, la película compartió la creencia común de que aquellas cintas centradas en historias femeninas no alcanzan niveles exitosos en taquilla. Pero apelando a un amplio grupo de edades, Sunny''' obtuvo éxito total vendiendo más de 7 millones de entradas.  El Director Kang Hyeong-cheol describió a Shim como "alguien quien ya esta  completa como actriz. "

Otros de sus personajes destacados incluyen a una chica atrapada en medio de la guerra de Corea en la comedia negra Kyung-sook, Kyung-sook's Father (también conocida como My Dad Loves Trouble), la chica con habilidades sobrenaturales en la película Living Death (también titulada Possessed), una chica depresiva en The Quiz Show Scandal, o una cortesana en la película Masquerade.

En la comedia Miss Granny de 2014, Shim actuó como una anciana de 70 años que mágicamente se encuentra de regreso en sus 20 años. Shim se refirió a la película como, "cercana a mi corazón" por ser su primer protagónico como actriz adulta. Con 8.65 millones de entradas vendidas Sunny' probó las habilidades de Shim en el cine. Ella también ganó el Premio a Mejor actor en el Chunsa Film Art Awards, el Baeksang Arts Awards, el Director's Cut Awards, y el Buil Film Awards.
Su siguiente protagónico fue  como la excéntrica pianista heroína en Naeil's Cantabile, drama coreano adaptación del manga japonés Nodame Cantabile. De cualquier forma la serie fue un desastre crítica y comercialmente, y Shin fue criticada por su actuación en la serie.

Shin regresó a las películas, protagonizando la precuela animada Seoul Station dirigida por Yeon Sang-ho, el thriller de venganza Missing You, y Queen of Walking, a la cual Shim llamó "un punto de regreso en su carrera". En 2017, protagonizó junto a Ji Chang-wook el thriller de acción Fabricated City y junto a Choi Min-shik en la película de elecciones The Mayor. Sus próximas películas incluyen Marital Harmony; y el thriller sobre natural Psychokinesis.

En octubre de 2019 se anunció que se había unido al elenco de la serie Money Game donde dará vida a Lee Hye-joon, una recién nombrada oficial de la Comisión de Servicios Financieros que sueña con tener su propio edificio algún día. La serie se espera sea estrenada en el 2020.

 Vida privada
Shim es la hija menor en su familia. Sus pasatiempos son escuchar música, leer y practicar taekwondo. Ella es la baterista de la banda que formó con sus amigos Chick and Candy.

Después de graduarse del Eonbuk Elementary School y del Cheongdam Middle School, en 2010 Shim temporalmente dejó la actuación para mudarse a U.S., explicando, "yo elegí un lugar dónde no hubiera un montón de coreanos y me decidí por un colegio en Pittsburgh. Estudiar es una meta, pero también lo escogí debido a que he crecido física y mentalmente cansada después de actuar desde una edad tan joven" Shim terminó sus estudios en el Professional Children's School en 2013.

Shim grabó un comercial con el roquero Seo Taiji en 2008 e interpretó la versión joven del personaje Sujini de Lee Ji-ah en The Legend, aunque no supo que ellos estaban secretamente casados hasta 2011 cuando ella fue implicada en los rumores sobre ser la hija de Seo y Lee, rumores que ella negó.

Originalmente nominada al  Best Actress award del 2011 Grand Bell Awards por su rol en Sunny, Shim públicamente a través de su cuenta de Twitter cuando el comité de premios removió su nombre de la lista de nominadas oficial después de que ella notificó que no podría asistir al evento pues actualmente estaba estudiando en U.S. Ella fue una de los cuatro actores y actrices removidos de la nominación inicial. Shim finalmente ganó el premio a mejor actriz de reparto por su papel en Romantic Heaven; Chun Woo-hee, su compañera en  Sunny'', aceptó el honor a nombre de Shim.

Is the Current Poker Economy Sustainable?
There is an old saying in poker that seasoned players would use to explain the effects of the rake to new players, and it goes something like this: If 10 players sit at a poker table for long enough the only person who is going to win is the house, and if they sit there long enough they will all go broke. Now, if we broaden this concept to poker in general you can see that there could in fact be a huge problem if the money being constantly taken out of the poker community through the rake and tournament fees is not replaced by enough new money.
Just like our hypothetical table, if the same players constantly play each other, without an infusion of new capital, the end result is that they all go broke. Compounding this slow bleed, and making the nonexistent US market all the more noticeable, is the recent addition of Super-High-Roller tournaments. It's only a matter of time before the "amateur" players get hot and start winning a few of these (which if it happened during The Big One for One Drop would have been devastating to the poker economy) and when that happens that money is similar to rake, in that it is as good as gone.
So the title of this post seems a lot scarier than you probably thought at first glance. Imagine if Andy Beal won $10 million from "The Corporation" in the ultra-high-stakes match that took place some years ago? What would have happened if Guy Laliberte and Paul Phua (or some other "amateur" player) went one and two in the Big One for One Drop and won the $28 million in prize-money?
Had the first of those things happened the poker world could be a very different place today; in the case of the One Drop outcome, the future would likely be dramatically altered for the poker economy.
For a while now I have been on the fence of whether these tournaments were good or bad for poker, and after thinking about it, it seems like this one factor, the chance of completely upending the poker economy and taking large chunks of money from the poker world in one fell swoop makes these tournaments especially dangerous for poker. Even more troubling is the effect this could have on the current economy which is seeing the fewest number of new players since before the poker boom.
With poker falling out of fashion with the masses, and the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the high-stakes poker community in the form of Super-High-roller events, in my view the current poker economy is dangerously close to being unsustainable.

Barcelona: Statistics
Barcelona: Transfer Rumors & News
The stats which show why Barcelona wanted to spend big on Coutinho
By Gill Clark Jan 7, 2018, 1:00am CET
Share All sharing options for: The stats which show why Barcelona wanted to spend big on Coutinho
Philippe Coutinho is officially a Barcelona player after sealing his move to Camp Nou on Saturday.
The Brazilian has shone since moving to Liverpool from Inter Milan and has been in great form this season too.
Here's a look at some of his best stats which may help show why Barca were so keen to spend big on the 25-year-old.
Coutinho's transfer is the third biggest in history, behind only Neymar and Kylian Mbappe (FourFourTwo).
He will be the 30th Brazilian to play for Barca (Marca).
Coutinho's record for Liverpool in the Premier League goes: 152 games, 343 take-ons completed, 337 chances completed, 76 direct goal contributions, 41 goals, 35 assists (Squawka).
He has scored or assisted a goal on 76 occasions, which works out to an average of once every two games (Opta).
Coutinho's total record as a professional reads: 337 games played and 77 goals scored (FC Barcelona).
Here's his Premier League heat map for the season so far:
Philippe Coutinho stats and heat map for Liverpool in the Premier League this season:

Chances created: 10
Dribbles completed: 39
Tackles: 17#WelcomeCoutinho pic.twitter.com/687uFfJlP3
— CE Stats (@CEStats) January 6, 2018
Coutinho has scored more goals than any other Brazilian in the Premier League (41) and also has the most assists for any Brazilian (35) (Squawka).
Last season Coutinho scored six goals from outside the box, that's more than anyone else in the Premier League (FC Barcelona).
He has scored more goals from outside of the box (14) than any other Premier League player since the start of the 2015/16 season (WhoScored.com).
Here's how Coutinho shapes up in comparison to some of Barca's other stars:

Bible Study Helps: Hebrews and James
James, Paul, Faith and Works
Bible Study Helps: Romans
Bible Study Helps: The Epistles of John
Bible Study Helps: The Synoptic Gospels
Those reading through the book of James will find these resources of some real help:
Although only five-chapters long, James is an interesting and perplexing book for so many reasons. Questions abound as to almost everything about the book, including its unifying theme, its organisational composition, its intended purpose and audience, etc. Dan McCartney puts it this way in his commentary:
Controversy has continued to swirl about the book, however. Almost every aspect of interpretation, its author, its date, its original audience, its theological substructure, its organization (or lack of organization), its overall purpose (especially whether it is in any way a reaction to some form of Paulinism), its unity, and even the meaning of several of its words, phrases, and sentences have been heavily debated, and many matters remain without anything close to a scholarly consensus.
Or as Donald Hagner says about it:
James has been acknowledged as perhaps the most puzzling book of the NT and for a variety of reasons. Its fragmented form and content are unusual, its organization is unclear, its authorship and therefore date and provenance are uncertain, its addressees a question mark, its purpose vague, its Christian doctrine practically nil, and hence its reception in the early church was notably slow. Very little indeed is known concerning this document, and the challenge is to make what we can from its content alone.
Also, many have wondered if it conflicted with the Pauline message of faith that saves, rather than works that saves. While Luther did refer to it as an "epistle of straw," he did not deny the canonical status of the book as some have supposed. He included it in his German New Testament.
Daniel Doriani discusses some of the reasons that Luther and others had some big questions about James:
First, Luther says, James contains almost nothing of Christ and the gospel. By this he meant that he found none of Paul's gospel of justification by faith. Instead he found an insistence on works that, so he thought, supported the Roman Catholic position on faith and works. Second, Luther says, James does not appear to be written by an apostle. Third, scholars say that the clear, confident style of James's Greek, the large vocabulary, and dense syntax, are too refined to come from the hand of a Galilean Jew. Fourth, in a criticism that might contradict the previous one, Luther and others charge that James is disorderly, flitting from topic to topic without any proper connection of the thoughts. Finally, the early church did not immediately receive James as part of the New Testament canon.
He goes on to briefly reply to these various charges and then says: "Readers may think that a reply to James's critics is misplaced in the preface to an expository commentary. Yet the theological and moral value of James rests not upon the affection with which Christians receive it, but upon its origin, in divine inspiration, and its status in the canon."
Concerning the authorship of James, that too is a big discussion, with a number of folks called James in the NT. But most scholars take it that James the brother of Jesus is the author of the book, and that it was likely written quite early on, perhaps around the mid-40s (James died in A. D. 62, and he makes no mention of the important Jerusalem Council of A. D. 48-49).
While scholars still differ on the overriding structure of the book, and the best way to outline it, there are still quite discernible themes that are to be found there. Douglas Moo for example offers these seven main themes: God; eschatology; the law; wisdom; poverty and wealth; the Christian life; and faith, works, and justification.
Let me speak to just two of these. Many have noted how the book of James resembles the wisdom literature of the OT (eg, Job and Proverbs). Wisdom is seen as being a gift of God. It is dependent upon the meditation of Scripture as well as the observation of the world. It means applying biblical truth to what we find happening around us.
This means that James is a very practical book. R. Kent Hughes notes that since this is likely the earliest NT book written, it "thus reflects Jewish-Christian teaching in its initial stages of development." Moreover,
The Epistle of James enlarges our practical understanding of faith. To be sure Paul is practical, but normally he begins with an imposing theological argument (for example, Romans 1-11 or Ephesians 1-3) and then gives practical exhortation (for example, Romans 12-16, Ephesians 4-6). James, however, begins right off with a series of practical admonitions and continues on nonstop to the end.
As to this supposed contradiction between James and Paul on the issue of faith and works, the simple answer is this: both agree that real saving faith results in good works. What James is dealing with in James 2:14-26 is a false faith. He is arguing: 'can that kind of faith save you?' And 'No' is the answer to that question. McCartney offers these comments:
James does not say, "If someone has faith but has not works . . ."; he says, "If someone claims to have faith but does not have works. . . . " The claim to faith is not the same as faith….
The "works" that James has in view are "faith-deeds," the kind of actions that are as endemic to and characteristic of faith as heat is to fire or as breathing is to life for human beings, as James will make clear in 2:20-26 ….
James's principal point is not in doubt, in any case: that which distinguishes living faith from dead faith is works of faith. By no means does any of this suggest that one could create genuine faith by works, any more than an effort at mouth-to-mouth resuscitation could revitalize a corpse.
Douglas Moo puts it this way concerning this false faith: it is
a matter of speech without action (vv. 15-16); verbal profession without trust and commitment (vv. 18-19). It is this dead, barren faith that James designates by 'faith alone' in verse 24. Paul himself would have been second to none in condemning anyone who thought that this faith could justify…. James is concerned not that works be 'added' to faith, but that one possesses the right kind of faith, 'faith that works'. Without that kind of faith Christianity becomes a barren orthodoxy and loses any right to be called faith.
But for a much more detailed discussion on this important matter, see this recent piece of mine: billmuehlenberg.com/2020/12/06/james-paul-faith-and-works/
James (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament) by Array
More can be said, but in sum, Blomberg and Kamell say this about the book:
With this short letter, therefore, we have what is probably the first NT document written and the first existing Christian writing of any kind of which we know…. Faith in action, especially in social action, remains central for this author. Like the OT prophets and as with Jesus, James sees no tension between (and indeed weds closely together) orthodoxy and orthopraxy – correct belief and correct behaviour.

First, I agree with your understanding of faith and works here. Second, like soooo many others, I 'bucked' at the notion that I needed some 'works' to round out my salvation, I.e., how many mission trips must I make per year, how many times do I help at the church dinner, etc. to earn my points, but slowly came to realize that the more I fell in love with the Father, the more I desired to demonstrate His love to those around me…they were no longer 'works' (dang, I HAVE TO…) but rather, "Father, give me a servant spirit and show me what I can do." If you would permit me, NO LONGER A WORK, BUT A FRUIT. Please understand that this is the revelation I have had and do not want to foist it on anyone else. Believe me, I DO have to pray daily and WORK at being a consistent servant. But, let me reiterate, I firmly believe that the more you know the Father and His unbelievable love for you, the more you will desire to SHARE that love, in all its forms with those in your life…call them 'works or call them 'fruit'.
As always, thank you Bill and where I am off the mark, please correct.

Thanks Ron – yes sounds good to me. The pattern is basically consistent throughout Scripture. In the OT, God graciously saved Israel, and then the law was added to show the people what their thankful response should be now that they are the people of God. The same today: salvation begins with justification, God's gracious provision for our sinful condition, and that is followed by our thankful response in doing good works (sanctification). So yes It can be stated rather simply: before we are saved we have no real desire and ability to please God with good works, but after we are saved we have both the desire and the ability, because of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Makes all the difference in the world, and yes, the good works are the fruit and faith is the root.
And as I say in the article:
But for a much more detailed discussion on this important matter, see this recent piece of mine: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2020/12/06/james-paul-faith-and-works/

Hi Bill, thank you for your explanation of the justification by faith works issue, as is usual you have been able to shed light on a topic that can be a little troublesome to those who would uphold the faith alone teaching of the reformation and have shown that the issue is the quality of a person's faith which shows weather its real. Many blessings to you, and a happy Christmas.
Thanks Duncan.


We assume the company will expect the United States to continue subsidizing research through the taxpayer-supported National Institutes of Health. We assume it wants the U.S. government to continue defending its intellectual property rights.
Pfizer made headlines more than a decade ago when it persuaded the city of New London, Connecticut, to use eminent domain to seize a working-class neighborhood around its shiny new headquarters – and replace it with an upscale shopping, hotel and office complex more to the company's liking. Actually, it was a condition of its move to the city, according to The Day in New London.
The Supreme Court gave the controversial plan a green light in 2005. Four years later, Pfizer abandoned New London.
Yes, the drugmakers know how to make government work for them. Their lobbying group, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, leads efforts to ensure that Americans pay far more for their products than citizens of other countries.
The drugmakers' crowning achievement was getting a Republican-controlled Congress to write a Medicare drug benefit law to their specifications. While funneling billions in taxpayer subsidies toward helping the elderly buy drugs, it forbade the U.S. government to negotiate the prices on behalf of said taxpayers.
No other Western country lets drug companies charge whatever they think they can get away with. This is why the government of Norway pays about $460 for an injection of the asthma drug Xolair and our Medicare pays about $860.
These conversations always circle back to the drugmakers' argument that Americans must pay their price to cover the high expense of developing wonderful life-enhancing products.
We can close that circle by asking: To the extent that high U.S. drug prices support research and development benefiting the world, why are Americans the only ones footing the bills?
The drugmakers don't talk much about that publicly for a very simple reason. It is not in the interests of their executives and investors to stop Americans from playing the chump. If they can get the job done by writing checks to obedient U.S. politicians and the chumps keep re-electing them, why make trouble for themselves?
Read may have reason to take the American public for easily deceived children. Basic decency, however, demands that he limit such thoughts to private dinner parties.

Nine Inch Nails make their grand live return at the Fuji Rock Festival in Naeba, Japan on Friday, July 26th and fans will be able to witness it live. According to the Fuji Rock Festival website, NIN's set -- their first live show since 2009 -- streams live from the Green Stage this Friday. The only drawbacks: the set is scheduled to stream at 9:30 pm (Fuji time) which converts to 8:30 am ET, and it's unclear whether the stream will be accessible in North America. Please note this IS a rock & roll event, which means it's possible the set/stream time could change, so be sure to check back for updates.
UPDATE: 7/26 - Stream not available in North America.
UPDATE: Unknown at this point if the show will be geoblocked - if it is, the set will be available for archive streaming later in the day.
Nine Inch Nails return with a new album Hesitation Marks on September 3rd and is preceded by the new single, "Came Back Haunted." Pre-order Hesitation Marks from the official NIN site, iTunes, or Amazon.

Q: Jupyter notebook: Running cells following a fixed error always requires two attempts I have recently started to experience a 'weird' behavior of jupyter-notebooks. I.e. when there is a cell which is meant to produce readable output, fails with an error message (because of coding bugs) upon invoking ctrl-enter or shift-enter, and then I fix the error and rerun the cell, the previously displayed In[a_number]: turns into an empty In[]: and the cell outputs just nothing. Then, after rerunning the cell a second time I see In[a_number+1]: and I get a corresponding proper Out[a_number+1]: below the input cell, which then also shows the sought for output.
I.e. it is as if after a fixed coding error only each 2nd rerunning of a cell actually does work.
Is this known and is there a fix?
Edit1: To clarify for those to whom this is still unclear, here is an example
In[N]:   x = [1,2,3]  do shift-enter
In[N+1]: x[3]         do shift-enter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IndexError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
/tmp/ipykernel_14419/2145826956.py in <cell line: 1>()
----> 1 x[3]
IndexError: list index out of range

oops, let's correct the error
edit the index within the last input cell
In[N+1]: x[2]         do shift-enter
after the shift-enter the notebook line looks like so
In[]: x[2]
i.e., there is no number in the In[] index and
*no* output shows after this in the notebook.
Next
In[]: x[2]         do shift-enter a *2nd* time
now, the input cell changes to
In[N+2]: x[2]
and is followed by
Out[N+2]: 3

as it should be. So, as I said, it seems that upon error the notebook discards one ctrl- / shift-enter command. Hope this clarifies the issue.
Edit2: This issue is related to using matplotlib. I.e. for any notebook in which matplotlib is used with an inline backend, the issue is absent. However, for any external window backend invoked with %matplotlib XYZ, where XYZ can be anything like QtAgg, or WxAgg, ... the issue occurs.


Making the decision to file for bankruptcy is not an easy one. There are a lot of emotions involved and it will likely cause a great amount of stress on all parties involved. Knowing how to cope with these emotions will make the bankruptcy process much easier. Here are a few tips from the Waukesha bankruptcy experts at Burr Law Office to consider.
The first and one of the most important ways to cope is acceptance. Negative feelings like regret and resentment are natural in these types of situations. Accepting these feelings will not mean you're settling. On the contrary, it means you're strong enough to work through a tough situation.
Having a strong support system, whether family members or close friends, will help make the process much easier. Having someone around to help you stay on track with payments is great, and surrounding yourself with people who understand your situation and are willing to help is extremely helpful.
Different people cope with stress in different ways. Generally, having someone to talk to about your reservations or concerns will help make the process easier. Again, this could be a family member, close friend, or even your attorney. No matter the person, make sure it's someone you can trust.
If you've found yourself in financial troubles and are considering Waukesha bankruptcy, contact Burr Law Office. Attorney Michael Burr has over 20 years of experience and strives to work one-on-one with each of his clients. If you're looking for someone who cares, Burr Law Office is your solution.

Th-INK-ing of You: Thoughts of You and continued blessings!
Hello again my sweet friends! I have another sneak peek of the upcoming Our Daily Bread designs June release to share with you! This card is made with a new Foxglove Single stamp, and the sentiment is from the Rose Bouquet set. I love them both!!!
To create this simple card, I stamped the Foxglove image on white card stock several times, stamping off for a lighter effect, and continuing in the background with still another light stamping. I then stamped one image with Memento Black and colored it with Copics, and cut it out. I used a base of Pistachio Pudding, then a layer of pink designer paper from a Heidi Grace pad I have had for a white. I layered my stamped foxglove images to the pink layer. I cut a strip of the same design paper and embossed it with a small Darice embossing folder, rubbing my Distress ink pad Bundled Sage over the high areas of the embossing (which is what I had used for the background). I die cut the mat for the pretty sentiment panel from the ODBD Custom Vintage Flourish Pattern Die, and then stamped the sentiment on white and die cut with the ODBD Custom Ornate Borders and Flowers die set. I used foam dimensionals to adhere both the sentiment panel and the colored Foxglove. I embellished with these pretty new Recollections pearls in a color I can only describe as irredescent. There is a soft green, soft pink and an ivory shade that comes out from this gorgeous bling, depending on the colors around them and the light. I did add a few white gel pen dots to the centers of my Floxglove images and decided to keep the card simple.
I hope you are looking forward to the release as much as I am! I have been away and had to rush to get a few cards ready to share with you as sneak peeks.... but I sure have had fun playing with the new stamps!
Be Blessed by His thoughts of You!!!
