To test the algorithm of TikTok, WSJ created hundreds of bots' accounts with diverse profiles that viewed numerous videos, here's what it found
apps, news, Social-Media, Technology, TikTok
There is no doubt that TikTok is the world's fastest-growing application in the past couple of years, however, that is the important question that how the application finds the interest of users so that it can bring such type of content on their screens. Recently, a team of Wall Street Journal created lots of bots' accounts that watch numerous videos on the app, the team created different types of profiles for each bot account such as their locality, their ages, and their point of interest in video content, to check that how much time does the algorithm of the application takes to find out their interests without notifying the app about their analysis in the beginning.

The group of Wall Street Journal (WSJ) evaluated the outcomes with Guillaume Chaslot, the expert of procedure who worked on the giant video platform YouTube before. The platform formerly said that its (For U) page is personalized, built on the types of video content users interrelate with, descriptions about the video itself, and further the settings of profiles such as locality and the linguistic. The algorithm of the app cannot distinguish between the video content that users vacillate watching and that video content that users love to watch and even want more of such content. That is the reason that some users finish up with a group of (For You page) suggestions that do not appear to depict their interests.
The team further analyzed that a few bots' accounts were trapped in rabbit holes of the same type of content, sometimes, that becomes a wonderful strategy when users see the same type of videos that are according to their likings. But often time it happens that they do not like such content, so as a result, these rabbit roles do not work so well for users. For instance, one bot account watched different videos about depression. However, other accounts were presented videos about compulsive eating and debated suicide. The team created those accounts in such a way that they expressed their point of interest in the content by watching videos, again and again, stopping the content with linked hashtags or pictures.
According to the experts of WSJ, the platform found the behavior of bot accounts in forty minutes. However, after notifying the test that how the app figures out the interest of users, the representative of the platform gave remarks about the activities produced by this test that it does not signify the actual conduct of users because people have different groups of likings and disliking than bots. The spokesperson of the app further said that people are given the option of "Not Interested" so they can avoid posts of such categories by tapping that option.

Was it Professor Plum with the candlestick in the library or Reverend Green with the revolver in the study? Amateur detectives have been creeping around the corridors and secret passages of Tudor Close, solving the murder of the mysterious Dr Black, since 1949.
The Story of Cluedo tells how a quiet and unassuming musician from Birmingham invented the world's first murder mystery board game. Through an engaging and very readable narrative based on extensive research and conversations with the inventor's daughter, including never before published photographs and other material from the inventor's personal archive, Jonathan Foster traces the origins of Cluedo. From its beginnings in the early twentieth century through the Second World War, to its enduring popularity in the post-war decades and the game's current status as a permanent fixture in toy shops and toy cupboards around the world.
The author explores what inspired Anthony Pratt to design this very British board game, its runaway success, the history of murder mysteries and the golden age of the 'whodunit', and the game's commercial importance to Waddingtons, a company with wartime secrets and a colourful past. The author also examines how the game has evolved in the era of the microchip and the secret behind its enduring appeal that keeps a new generation of amateur detectives trying to solve the gruesome murder at Tudor Close.

Love, Christin | A Lifestyle Momprenuer Blog: Is tonight Book Club?! - Embracing the "S" in selfish.
Is tonight Book Club?! - Embracing the "S" in selfish.
We have all been there, "mommy, mommy, mommy"
You've go one kid running around the house like mad man not listening to word you are saying and the other on your hip screaming that she wants marshmallows instead of chicken for dinner. Stressed out and ready to go out with a couple of girlfriends and just relax!
Here is Megan with This Anchored Life to explain a little more!
As moms, we know the exact definition of what it means to be selfless. In fact, if you look in the dictionary you'd probably find a picture of a mom next to the word. Being selfless is one of those things that mothers are praised for. "Oh, look at that mom...giving up every ounce of her free time to fulfill the needs of all her children." But you know what word is not praised when it comes to moms? Selfish. Being a mom and being selfish are in no way synonymous. In fact, a selfish mom is usually one of the big 5. That's what I refer to as the top five things moms are regularly shamed for. That blog post is coming soon.
Here's the deal. I have been through a lot of crap in my life that was really tough. Marriage, divorce, the passing of loved ones. But being a parent, besides the obvious of being the greatest blessing, is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. In my life.
I mean, to start, we are essentially responsible for the well being of another human for 18 years. Does no one else contemplate how big of a task this is? Feeding, cleaning, grooming, and determining whether that cough is the result of a mild cold or the start of tuberculosis. It's is a lot to handle. It is absolutely shocking to me that more moms aren't committed to a psychiatric ward each year. Every time I hit my breaking point, I am positive that this will be the one that ends up with me in a padded room whispering under my breath about the t-ball team snacks I still have to put together.
And while I do use humor to talk about this, I do not take mental health lightly. In fact, that's actually exactly why I wanted to write about this. And I'm not even referring to full blown depression...I'm just talking about the day to day sanity that we as moms cling to. I think the general population thinks that if you made it safely past the postpartum threat in those early days, then you're set up for a stress free course until your kids move out of the house. Wrong. Simple day to day tasks like cooking, cleaning, diaper changing, grocery shopping, playdate planning, crafting, errand running, party planning, potty training, chauffeuring, Halloween costume creating, feeding, and for many moms, working a full time job are like small pebbles in a river. The river being your sanity. I'm exhausted just typing it and I don't even do half of that "good mom" crap that I'm jealous of my mom friends for doing. Their tball team snacks have toys and a theme. Meanwhile I'm over here frantically looking through plastic tubs in my pantry to see if have at least 12 bags of gummies and enough granola bars and peanut butter crackers for each player.
It's exhausting. And slowly, those tiny pebbles in the river create a huge dam, as the flow of your sanity desperately tries to make it through the spaces between those pebbles. You see where I went with that?
So what's my big solution to this? What's my grand plan for saving moms and their sanity? It goes back to that nasty word I mentioned in the beginning.
Plain and simple. Be selfish.
Now I am certainly not talking about the kind of selfish that you were, say, in college. You know, where it didn't matter if you ended up sleeping on someone's bathroom floor until 2pm the next day, because you certainly weren't driving anyone to soccer or ballet. I'm talking about taking care of yourself. And gasp, here's the kicker...taking care yourself, before taking care of others.
Because for me, if I am not in a good place mentally, it is almost impossible for me to do my job as a mom to the best of my ability. Being selfish in moderation has pretty much saved me from losing my marbles on more than one occasion. And now, I don't just make it a point to be selfish on occasion, I make it a priority.
One of the ways I do that is through what I like to call "book club". Only my book club doesn't involve any books and the only thing resembling a club is that we gather as a group in the same location. You get the idea. But it isn't just book club. It's making it a point to walk mindlessly around Target for an hour with my best friends. Or locking myself away and taking a ridiculously long, hot bubble bath with those expensive bath bombs that disappear in the water within seven seconds. Or seeing a movie with my husband. Or saving up for a babysitter so I can have a night out on the town dancing until my feet hurt. Or having a glass of champagne on the patio in complete silence. Or putting my kids on tablets for an hour or two so I can lose myself in my writing.
At the end of the day, I am ALL in for my kids a majority of the time. But I am unwilling to let my sanity escape by the wayside for a running record of room mom moments. It makes me sad that a mother's worth is often measured by her ability to take care of her children, instead of her ability to take care of her children AND herself. Choosing to spend time away from my children from time to time doesn't mean I don't love them any less than the next mom. It means I know myself well enough to know that taking small breaks to focus on myself is what MAKES me a better mom.
I remember a time when I said yes to everything. Yes to every request at work. Yes to favors for friends. Yes to my kids for every activity. I think there is even a book about how powerful yes can be. But you know what else is powerful sometimes? Saying no, and saving a few of those yes answers for yourself.
So the next time you're getting close to your wits end, find a few mom friends who are in the same boat and set a book club date. Preferable at a bar. Or a restaurant. That has a bar.
Thank you Megan!! Make sure to check her out over at This Anchored Life. Follow her on Facebook too!

Q: LESS inverse function of e() So I just tried using LESS today. Based on examples available in official website, I've managed to script my CSS like below. But there's single line that not work like I want, which I want to convert color type variable to string (wrapped with single quotes).
I have color variable, for example:
@colorA: #f7fcff;
@colorB: #f2faff;

I want to convert them to string, so I can use in filter CSS e.g.:
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='@colorA', endColorstr='@colorB', GradientType=0 );

But that not work. So, how?

A: You need to use string interpolation syntax there like @{}
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(
        startColorstr='@{colorA}', endColorstr='@{colorB}',
        GradientType=0 );

Compiled:
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(
        startColorstr='#f7fcff', endColorstr='#f2faff',
        GradientType=0);

Jamie Smyth, SYDNEY, (FT): Australia and Poland have refused to support a pact designed to improve global co-operation on migration, joining populist governments in the US, Hungary and Austria in opposing the UN's accord.
Scott Morrison, Australia's prime minister, said on Wednesday that the UN agreement would compromise the government's hardline immigration policy and risked encouraging "illegal entry" into the country and helping people smugglers.
"I would never allow something to compromise our borders, I worked too hard to ensure that we weren't in that position," said Mr Morrison.
Australia's rejection of the pact follows a further hardening of immigration policy by its conservative government, which oversees one of the toughest asylum policies in the world by detaining refugees on tiny islands in the South Pacific. Canberra is also preparing to cut legal migration, signalling this week it would reduce the annual immigration cap by 30,000 people to 160,000.
Warsaw said the UN pact failed to meet demands regarding its right to determine who it accepted into its territory and over the distinction between legal and illegal migration.
Legal experts say both governments' concerns about the practical effects of the pact are misplaced as it is not legally binding. But the growing number of countries rejecting the pact is a symbolic blow to UN efforts to co-ordinate a response to a global migration crisis, in which a record 68.5m people were displaced from their homes last year.
"The global compact on migration does not impose new legal obligations on states and is not an international treaty," said Guy Goodwin-Gill, law professor at University New South Wales.
The pact outlines a set of principles and policies to help governments manage people flows and better protect migrants. It has been negotiated by international governments over 18 months and is due to be adopted in December.
The UN said Australia's decision to disengage from a multilateral process was "regrettable".
Although the pact is not legally binding, it has galvanised opposition among rightwing nationalist politicians in Europe, the US and elsewhere. The US rejected the pact last year, saying it could not support a process that could undermine "the sovereign right of the US to enforce our immigration laws and secure our borders".
Hungary has described the UN pact as "making it a human right to find a new place around the globe".

The KRONOS GROUP Chair will offer to the Louvain School of Management (LSM) students a unique learning opportunity in Belgium in a very demanded field.
Procurement is becoming highly strategic and critical to ensure the competitiveness and sustainability of companies.
The new technologies and the shorter deadlines for the introduction of new products reinforce even more this trend.
In addition, the recruitment of procurement professionals is a real challenge in Belgium, as Catherine Van Wonterghem from KRONOS GROUP confirms: "The Belgian market is in general full of qualified resources. Unfortunately, as no specific development program is given by our universities in Procurement, the use of workforce coming from other countries is often necessary. This Chair will be a unique opportunity to open new horizons for the younger generations in Belgium and develop them in a rapidly expanding profession".
As of September, courses in procurement will be proposed to more than 150 students in Business Engineering, Business Management and CEMS which will lead to a specific major in « Strategic Sourcing & Procurement ».
Kronos Group will be actively involved in the Chair by bringing its expertise, participating to classes (case studies, thesis…) and helping students to start their career (projects, internships…).
"It will allow the students in the 2nd year of Master to develop a strong background in Procurement. This will be an asset to find more easily a job in this expanding market" explains Per Agrell, Chairholder.
The Chair will be officially inaugurated in March 2018 during a Gala regrouping many industry leaders in Belgium.

Unfair dismissal and anonymity of informants
In the recent case of Surrey County Council v Henderson, the Employment Appeal Tribunal found that the level of investigation carried out by the employer following serious allegations against the employee, was not outwith the "band of reasonable responses" where evidence supporting the allegations was not given to the employee prior to his dismissal.
Mr Henderson worked for Surrey County Council (SCC), and on 13 February 2004 Mr Findlay told him that serious allegations had been made against him and invited him to attend a meeting on 16 February, although he did not detail the nature of the allegations. Mr Henderson did not go to the meeting and was referred to a psychiatrist after becoming increasingly distressed.
On 16 February Mr Findlay wrote to Mr Henderson suspending him, awaiting a full disciplinary hearing. He was informed that SCC had received reports from a number colleagues that he had made violent threats towards them. On 1 March Mr Henderson's trade union representative raised a grievance about his treatment, however Mr Findlay rejected the complaint.
On 19 March, Mr Findlay wrote to Mr Henderson stating that he had spoken to those who had made the allegations and that he had found that he had made violent threats to a number of people, although he did not provide any details of when, or to whom, the threats were made (Mr Findlay had received five individual statements however the individuals did not wish to be identified and Mr Henderson did not have an opportunity to see them). Mr Henderson was thereafter given a week to respond to the allegations with a final decision to be issued shortly thereafter.
The trade union representative again sought a grievance meeting, pointing out that he was still unaware of the basis of the allegations, and explaining that Mr Henderson was not medically fit to attend a hearing before 25 March. This grievance was again ignored and Mr Henderson was summarily dismissed on 29 March. The subsequent appeal by Mr Henderson was unsuccessful and again Mr Henderson was not able to see the statements.
Mr Henderson brought a claim for unfair dismissal, which the tribunal upheld. The tribunal found that SCC had a potentially fair reason to dismiss him although it found the dismissal to be unfair because he was not given details of the allegations against him. Furthermore, it found that the confidentiality of the informants was not an adequate reason to prevent disclosure of the statements. The tribunal also found that Mr Henderson was dismissed without the opportunity to defend himself, and that as the tribunal had not been provided with the statements, no deduction could be made to reflect the fact that Mr Henderson may have been dismissed in any event.
SCC appealed the decision. The EAT, in considering the fairness of the dismissal, referred to the case of Linfood Cash and Carry Limited v Thompson [1989] IRLR 235, which provides guidance on the balance to be struck between confidentiality of informants and fairness to the accused employee. The EAT held that the tribunal had not considered whether SCC had reasonable grounds for its belief that Mr Henderson was guilty of misconduct following a reasonable investigation. The EAT held that the tribunal should have investigated why there was a need for anonymity and balanced the needs of the informants against the needs of Mr Henderson, rather than substituting its own view for that of a reasonable employer.
This case demonstrates that where employees are not provided with details of allegations against them, the dismissal may not be unfair. Employers must be able to demonstrate that they carried out a reasonable investigation, and in these situations employers should perhaps consider the possibility of providing any statements to the accused employee in suitably edited format.

Orioles' Givens struggles in 10-inning loss to Red Sox; Hyde ejected; Hess sent to Norfolk
BALTIMORE—The Orioles headed to the West Coast after teasing the fans on Sunday. After scoring two runs in the eighth to take a one-run lead over the Boston Red Sox, reliever Mychal Givens allowed a ninth-inning home run to Marco Hernandez, tying the score, and a leadoff home run to Rafael Devers in the 10th.
The 8-6 loss in 10 innings was the Orioles' fifth straight and sends them on a seven-game trip to Oakland and Seattle with a 21-50 record.
They were trailing, 2-1, in the eighth. Jonathan Villar led off with a walk. He stole second and third and scored on a wild pitch by Marcus Walden to tie the score.
With two outs, pinch-hitter Stevie Wilkerson tripled to right and scored on Hanser Alberto's single up the middle, giving the Orioles a 3-2 lead.
In the ninth, Givens tried for his seventh save, but he allowed the one-out home run to Hernandez to tie the score, 3-3.
Mookie Betts tripled, and Givens struck out Christian Vazquez and J.D. Martinez to end the inning. The Orioles didn't score in the ninth.
Devers' home run in the 10th was the eighth allowed by Givens, who has converted six save opportunities and blown five.
"We've had our fair share of tough losses this year," said manager Brandon Hyde, who was ejected in the fourth after arguing a controversial play at first. "I've never seen a club go through so much in the first few months of the season.
"But I really liked the way we played today. We battled back twice. Jonny Villar made things happen, tied the game for us. A lot of good things happened in today's game. It just didn't end well."
The Red Sox added four more runs in the 10th on two-run singles by Betts and Vazquez against David Hess, who had been moved to the bullpen on Saturday and was sent to Norfolk after the game.
Wilkerson hit a two-run home run, his sixth, and Trey Mancini hit his 16th against Boston reliever Josh Smith in the bottom of the 10th for the final margin.
"Very strange game, but in the end it's a really tough loss," Mancini said. "We competed, we played well, but at the end of the day, that's a game we needed to win.
"Good clubs win those games, and hopefully soon, we'll do a better job of finishing games off or building bigger leads earlier in the game. There's a lot of things we can do to improve, but this one's definitely tough."
Hyde criticized the team's performance on Saturday after a sloppy 7-2 loss.
"I think we responded well, and he's right," Mancini said. "Everything he said was spot on. Yesterday wasn't a good performance, top-to-bottom. Today, we did a better job. It wasn't perfect still, and that's why we lost the game. We've just got to play a little better than that, and maybe we win this one."
Means' day: Starter John Means labored through five innings, allowing two runs on seven hits. In his two previous starts against the Red Sox, Means combined to allow two runs on seven hits in 12 innings.
Four of those hits were grouped together in the fourth inning when Boston scored its two runs. Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr. each had RBI doubles.
" It was really a grind," Means said. "I didn't have anything today. And to get out of there with five innings and two runs is just — the whole game was just grinding, grinding, grinding. They had a good approach, and I couldn't get them off it."
Means threw two wild pitches in the fifth inning, doubling his season total.
Hyde ejected on Father's Day: The Orioles thought they'd tied the game, 2-2, in the fourth when centerfielder Keon Broxton laid down a bunt near the first base line to score Anthony Santander.
Broxton was ruled out at first, although he wasn't tagged by first baseman Michael Chavis, who came off the bag on a hurried throw by pitcher Colten Brewer. However, after the umpires conferred, Broxton was ruled out for interference for running inside the baseline, sending Santander back to third and Chris Davis back to first.
After arguing with home plate umpire Tripp Gibson and crew chief Mark Carlson, Hyde was ejected for the second time this season. Tim Cossins took over as manager.
"I knew I was going to be ejected.," Hyde said. "Tripp … should have called runner interference right away, and he didn't. He waited for the play to develop and that is what our discussion was about on the field. It's just a really unfortunate play. Obviously, it blocks things out there when the run scores. So, they got extremely lucky with the poor throw. "
It was Hyde's second ejection this season. The first came at Fenway Park on April 15 for arguing about a replay ruling.
Hess sent to Norfolk: Hess, who moved to the bullpen on Saturday and allowed two runs in relief of Givens in the 10th on Sunday, was sent to Norfolk after the game.
Hess has a 1-9 record and 7.36 ERA with the Orioles and has allowed 20 home runs in 66 innings.
Lucas on the injured list: A day after throwing three innings in a lopsided 12-3 loss to Toronto on Thursday, Josh Lucas was placed on the 10-day injured ist with a strained right shoulder.
He said it occurred in the ninth inning of the game, but he kept pitching.
"I felt a little bit of discomfort going into the first hitter and throughout the rest of the inning," Lucas said. "Just got to grind through it. The bullpen needed a rest."
Lucas said that he thought he'd be ready to pitch in 10 days. He didn't accompany the team on its road trip to Oakland and Seattle. He'll have some physical therapy before handling a personal matter in Florida and meet the team when it returns on June 25.
Smith almost ready: Outfielder Dwight Smith Jr., who's on the seven-day concussion injury list, continues to improve. Hyde said that he thought Smith would go on a brief rehabilitation assignment before meeting the Orioles on the West Coast.
Pitcher Alex Cobb had hip surgery this week, and it went well, Hyde said.
Opening things up?: Hyde announced on Saturday that left-hander Josh Rogers would start Wednesday in Oakland. Now, he's not so certain.
"We might start an opener that day," Hyde said, referring to starting the game with a relief pitcher. "It's still a little bit unsure. It's kind of how things go the next couple of days. Really good chance that Rogers will pitch at length that game."
Hyde said that he's experimenting, and that he wouldn't know until after Tuesday's game who would open on Wednesday. He mentioned Miguel Castro and Jimmy Yacabonis as possibilities.
Hyde homecoming: Hyde grew up in Santa Rosa, California, about 65 miles north of Oakland. Although he was a San Francisco Giants fan and not an Athletics fan, he's still relishing his first trip to the Bay Area as a big league manager.
"I always love going back to the Bay Area," Hyde said. "I see a lot of people I grew up [with] … My parents and my sister and her family will be there. They live in Berkeley. Staying in San Francisco and playing in Oakland is always special. I get to see a lot of people that I just don't get to see very often. It's a nice homecoming for me."
Am I the only one who yells "NO! NO! NO!" at the TV when I see Mychal (the BIG looser) Givens enter a game the O's are leading or have even a chance to win? Six saves and five blown saves… WOW! … and he's the "go to" guy? Unbelievable! But then again, the whole season is unbelievable… Just saying…
Hess is fine with the bullpen, of course he is, he's still up with the O's, he has no business pitching up here, starting or bullpen….this is beyond ridiculous, love the O's…todays game was like watching a bad JV team, especially in the 9th & 10th….
Hess has no business pitching in a game at OPACY. I'll tell you that for a fact. His flyball tendencies just don't work here. Neither should Straily. Eshelman should be in Baltimore soon replacing one of those two.
Bhoffman1
How much longer can Davis be on this team. It's a joke. The guy is the laughing stock of all baseball . We all know he's so laid back so he will come up with excuse after excuse. Maybe try batting right hand Chris.
Yes your so right. Givens has no mindset to be a closer period and Hess should be in double A along with half of the staff.
Boog Robinson Robinson
This team is getting more creative every day in finding ways to lose a game. It's starting to remind me of last years squad.
120 losses anyone?
Minus the talent…
ButchBird59
Tough to find good news this weekend. I guess the best is Yusniel Diaz: 11 hits in his last 10 games, 3 HR, 13 RBI, .275 average during that stretch. Mason McCoy (don't know why he stays under the radar) 15 hits in his last 10 games, .333 average during that stretch, .318 overall! 🙂
Um, ……………..that's about it. 🙁
Yusniel Diaz defining characteristic is that he is neither Walker Buehler, nor Alex Verdugo. There is no reason to track his performance.
Sad but true Bancells. O's were after either one of those two in the Manny trade. I guess we have to put Diaz on a pedestal as a result.
Be negative about 22 mil a year Davis who's a joke but don't be negative about Diaz who's a kid with a lot of tools and potential. Your right no one mentions McCoy he hits almost every night and should be promoted to Norfolk. We all knew this season would be bad but it's worse in some ways then expected because we cannot close out games. Once Davis is gone the offense is by most parts acceptable. It will get better once Mountcastle and a few more arrive. The pitching is atrocious except for Means and Cashner and really no quite ready yet in the minors.
Cashner is 6-2 but cashner is not a "good" starter by any stretch of the imagination. A guy with an ERA hovering around 5 isnt good.
As for Yusniel well I wouldn't start being negative on him yet. From all the reports I've read on him he doesn't have any star potential but he has the potential to chip in at all facets of the game. A right handed josh reddick type.
Bruce, you have commented often about Mason McCoy. Since you've obviously seen him play a number of times, and I have only briefly seen him in the spring, what do you like aobut him? When you see him, what excites you? Do you think he has any noticeable weaknesses?
Exactly he can be a all around player not a all star but I'll take that. I do agree we should have got Buehler but look at the Dodgers. They got Manny for a rental and he couldn't bring them the title.
Thank you. Manny proved to be over rated. To get anything for a rental is a plus. The Dodgers never considered resigning Manny.
Yes. The Machado deal was far and away Duquete's Best from last offseason. The reliever Pop, who just went down with TJ had a strong chance of being a major league bullpen piece. (Still should when he returns) Kremer looks to have a strong shot to make it in our rotation in the future. Bannon has a chance to be a big leaguer in some capacity. And obviously Diaz as well. Unfortunately In our Gausman and Schoop trades we likely got nothing that will ever impact the big leagues. And we've already seen 2/3 guys from the Britton trade (Rogers and Carroll) and they have not showed much. Though if Carroll comes back I think he has a chance in the BP.
The Gausman trade included moving Darren O'Day's salary. O'Day, who hss not pitched since the trade, would have cost the Orioles $12 million through this season, jbigle, so the trade is not as bad as you might think.
Sure, but it's not as if we reinvested those funds on better players so that's really an Angelos benefit more than anything else. (Which is obviously a benefit but you know not for the success of the team) But I realize the deal also included intl money which we thought would turn into VV Mesa so that was also a consideration. Hindsight is 20/20 obviously but we didn't get much talent back.
Camden Brooks
I don't think McCoy is necessarily under the radar. I think it is more that he's only played 30-some games in AA. No doubt he'll be in Norfolk at some point this season, and has a good shot to be in Baltimore next year.
I'm looking at these brain miscues by the OF and trying to figure WHY? Is it the IFs lack,of leadership/ take charge ability? Thinking either Martin or Villar should "yelling" for the ball to kinda guide the OFers. Santander fields the single but doesn't know where to throw. Give him some help Martin. Take charge!
Puyerunner
When Dwight Smith went down on June 6th, he was leading the Os with 41 RBIs. He still leads them after not batting in the last 9 games. We miss his .370 RISP.

Sweden: 91-Year-Old Man Sentenced for Internet Meanspeak Against Moslems
You'd think with all the non-stop propaganda every Swedecuck gets every single day of his life, horrific stuff like this wouldn't be happening anymore…
At first, I was kinda pissed of about this.
But then I remembered THE 6000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 who were turned into detergent at Auschwitz, and I realized this old guy got what he deserved.
Breitbart:
A 91-year-old Swedish man has been convicted of hate speech in the municipality of Bromölla after making disparaging comments about Islam and Muslims online.
The man, who may be one of the oldest Swedes on record to be convicted of hate speech, posted a number of comments in a Facebook group containing around 12,000 people in which he disparaged Muslims, Lokaltidningen reports.
The Swedish policewomyn finally found someone they could arrest, it seems.
Among the posts written included one in which the elderly man said, referring to Muslims, "You cannot, with the best will in the world, call these beings people. They seem to be inbred as they carry on."
The Kristianstad district court convicted the man of hatred against an identifiable ethnic group, noting that the post reached a potential audience of 12,000 and had been up for nearly a year.
"The messages have content that is clearly abusive to Muslims and it, therefore, expresses such inaccuracy as is required to be held liable for the crimes against ethnic groups," the court said.
Where's the lie tho?
Do you see a pattern there? If you do – you're probably a nazi
Moslems are inbred.
Their religion specifically approves marriage between first cousins, which is why even within people of the same race, IQ goes down and crime goes up in populations that have suffered from Islam for longer.
While the normal penalty for the crime could include two months in prison, the 91-year-old was given a conditional sentence along with a 6,500 Swedish kronor (£535/$700) fine.
Wow, so no jail time?
The strong independent womyn acting as Shlomo's Kapos must be getting BASED.
The case is just the latest to involve a Swedish pensioner convicted for hate speech made online. In 2017, a man in his 70s was convicted in Gothenburg for a similar post in which he referred to Muslims as "monkeys" on Facebook.
Earlier this year another pensioner, this time in Uddevalla, was convicted and fined 7,200 Swedish Kronor (£593/$775) for a Facebook post in which the 70-year-old claimed that Somali migrants were lazy and refused to work.
If I lived in Sweden – which holds the both the title of rape capital of Europe, and the title of grenade attack capital of Europe – my main concern would be old people being mean on the internet.
In the last several years, Sweden has seen a surge in reported hate speech crimes, with the social justice group Näthatsgranskaren taking credit last year for the increase, saying that they had made at least 800 reports to police in a single year.
The group also admitted that the average demographic of those they had reported tended to be older women over the age of 65.
I assume most of the old people are writing things under their real names, which is an old-people thing to do.
It might also be these scum, that I wrote about before, targeting old people specifically because they're less likely to fight back, and also to convince people that the young are on-board with their anti-White agenda.
And then they wonder why Brenton went FULL GOBLIN SLAYER against those invaders in Christchurch.

I'm sorry but you can't tell me that e-books are a passing fad. I read an article the other day that convinced me that we have only begun to realize the magnitude of advancing digital technology.
The article was about eight year old children who are learning computer code in schools. The article supports the importance of keeping school curriculum current and relevant with advancing technology and doing away with outdated ways of teaching and learning.
Young children are those who, in the future, will drive independent publishing and digital technologies to areas that we can adults can not even fathom. We can personally resist reading e-books and continue reading books in print, but the reality is that e-books are becoming a growing presence in our world. Electronic books are what the next generation of readers will want because they are so accustomed to using digital technology. In the end, it will become all about supply and demand.
To read more about Why Your Eight Year Old Should be Coding, here is the link.
It concerns me that if American schools do not have the resources to keep up with other countries, our workforce will be supplying products that people don't even want or can not use and this country's workers will not have skills that will be useful in business. Knowing how to write computer code will be an advantage for all kinds of careers in the future.
This morning, I've been thinking about all the blogs I have written over the past few years. Some mornings, I've had a very clear vision for what I want to write about and other days, it's a hazy start.
For me, the key is not to aim for perfection on the first draft. Eventually something usually takes hold inside of me, the words begin to flow. Soon a clear vision comes through and I find direction in my writing.
Occasionally, however, I have to scrap everything and start all over. On those days, I vow I must put in an order, over the internet, for Joseph M. Williams and Gregory G. Colomb's publication Style: Toward Clarity and Grace.
According to Williams, a professor of English at University of Chicago, until 2008, "it is good to write clearly, and anyone can." This book is a good resource for all writers to put on their bookshelf because there isn't a writer who doesn't face the challenge of not being able to write succinctly from time to time.
There's a new generation of students, however, who we will feature tomorrow on All Things Fulfilling, who are being taught to understand cryptic and obscure language at a very young age. Not all folks can interpret the symbols behind the writing they are studying.
Return on Monday to All Things Fulfilling, where sharing independent thoughts, words and views is all part of the business. This blog is brought to you by www.CornerstoneFulfillmentService.com.
The first quarter of 2013 will soon be coming to an end, and reports on book sales in 2012 have been complied and released from many sources. E-books continue to increase in popularity, as technology continues to offer improved products such as digital readers, and tablets.
According to The Kids and Family Reading Report, published by Scholastic, "as much of 46% percent of children have read an e-book." They are being used more frequently in the classroom and for this tech savvy generation of children, e-books designs are incorporating interactive features that children like.
Attached is an article from Venturebeat.com about e-book sales in 2012. I'll let the information speak for itself, rather than try to interpret it for you. http://bit.ly/Zq5L8s .
Not convinced this is a fair assessment of the e-book market? Here are a few other articles which also cite a growing demand for digital books.
From analyzing the reports, there is a healthy market for e-books. The growing use technology in our lives, an increased focus on sustainable, green living, the affordability of e-books and the ability to store books in a computer or handheld digital device rather than on bookshelves that take up space in rooms, in my opinion explain why e-book sales is a growing market.
Welcome back. Today, we will provide you with very useful information. If it is not helpful to you now, it may be in the future, so bookmark and save it.
A new book, independently published, titled Copyright Clearance for Creatives: A Guide for independent publishers and their support providers has just been placed in my bookcase, on an eye-level shelf, right where I can find and reach for it easily.

The rise of independently published books, film and music has made great strides, thanks to the development of technology. Tools of the trade that were only available to major publishing houses, movie studios and music/sound production companies, now can be mastered by anyone with the right education, artistic talent and a "head" for all things technology.
Quality, desk top published books for print and electronic formats, visual effects in movies and synthetically produced audio sound, are all now made possible through computer technology. In the 2010 summer issue of Movie Maker Magazine, there is an article about the creation of stunning special effects for a multi-award winning movie, in a college dorm room, on a mediocre computer. http://bit.ly/VY8nbP.
Steps to becoming a successful innovator of any kind, takes hard work, all-encompassing focus and drive, entrepreneurial spirit and gumption. It is not for a person who is not highly self-motivated.
But then, isn't that how our forefathers made this country what it is today? Hard work, not handouts, ambition and vision drove pioneers in all kinds of industry – building railroads, the industrial revolution, mining, manufacturing, agriculture and much more.
Children, through the use of technology, will become innovators of the future. They'll be the next generation to revolutionize library content, health care solutions, military capabilities and new creative ways of teaching.

The listener's surrounding environment affects the perception of sound. The environment includes physical factors such as space size, shape, and finish materials, and psychological factors such as individual difference of impression, and vision. Acoustic spatial impression can be defined as the concept of the type and size of space at which a listener arrives spontaneously when he/she is exposed to an appropriate sound field. This thesis analyzes how physical factors in enclosed spaces affect the acoustic spatial impression, and how sound sources at different positions on stage are perceived in different shapes of spaces.
The overarching goal of this research was to examine humans' subjective and physiological responses to small, high luminance light sources in outdoor nighttime environments. Currently, discomfort glare is rarely calculated in lighting practice (Remaking Cities Institute (RCI) 2011), partly, because it is not known which metric predicts glare most accurately in the given application.
The design and erection of columns in classical Greece and Rome was a deceptively complicated task. Ancient engineers were not guided by a set of building codes, resulting in several regional design variations. The writer Vitruvius condensed these variations into three archetypes or "orders" defined by proportions based on an arbitrary "module".
Pump systems are utilized widely in Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems. There are mainly three configuration types: (1) the constant primary-only flow configuration, (2) the constant primary/variable secondary flow configuration, and (3) the variable primary-only flow configuration. This thesis focuses on finding the optimal control strategy for it and programming a controller for easy in-field usage.
Appraisal Floor Plan Sketch (AFPS) as a simplified architectural floor plan shows the bird's eye view of a building's spatial arrangement. An efficient automated vectorization system of AFPS not only fulfills AFPS's preservation and dissemination purposes but also helps extract the building's geometric information, which can be used to create 3D models of the building and improve building energy efficiency. The purpose of this study is to develop an automated system for converting scanned AFPS into vector based computer graphics.
This research investigates whether a High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI) technique can accurately capture luminance values of a single LED chip. Previous studies show that a digital camera with exposure capability can be used as a luminance mapping tool in a wide range of luminance values with an accuracy of 10%. Previous work has also demonstrated the ability of HDRI to capture a rapidly-changing lighting environment with the sun. However these publications don't investigate HDRI's ability to capture a bright light source with a narrow light distribution (LED lighting).


Have an unusual experience with this puppy game and try to discover the secrets of giving birth. As you may know, a pregnant dog is a big responsibility and if you want to be prepared for when you will start the journey you should definitely try to check all the health verifications. The mom will go through some medical routine procedures in order to be ready. First, you will check her pulse, then you will inject some vitamins, the body temperature and the heart beats are next. Use the special ultrasounds device to see the baby in the belly. Help her to get in the perfect mood for birth-giving and encourage her to push in order to get out the little puppies. Rush in the nursing room to wash the babies and there check if the vital signs are established. Now your concern will be the babies and their medical condition. So, get each one of the quadruplets in the bath tub and make sure you offer a cleaning and fun bath. Once the bath is over you will dry their fur and apply some eye drops, maybe you could clean their years too. Follow the instructions and move along to the decorating part. First, you will make sure the room they will stay in will have a perfect environment for them. Next, you will dress up the mom and the little Labradors with delightful outfits. Use all the arsenal you've got and come with a matching design for the welcome room in which the party of homecoming will be held. Have fun!

Film reviews and musings on movies from Riley
Musings, Oscars
(from l to r) Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Saorise Ronan and Eliza Scanlen in LITTLE WOMEN. SONY.
Date: January 24, 2020Author: Riley Grandson 1 Comment
Predicting Who Will Win, Should Win and Who Should've Been Nominated
The 2020 Oscars are upon us. A new class of Oscar nominees have been unveiled and the speculation has run rampantly. With the ceremony set for February 9, we are closer than we have ever been to the Oscars following the announcement of nominees. This years ceremony certainly may lack any surprises in most of the categories. However, this year may give us a surprise in the Best Picture race. As always, a few front runners have emerged. But, which precursors will be the indicator? The guild awards have mostly finished their awards. Obviously, nothing is certain yet, but we know a few of the directions the night could go.
I will give my predictions here. Make sure to stay tuned to this post however, as I may change my mind in the coming weeks. Until then, I will break down my picks and hopes for the big six categories. I will also include simple breakdowns of who I think will win some of the other categories. Many of the below the line technical awards are notoriously difficult to predict. I will give the nominees in the categories, who I think will win, who should win, an upset pick and one addition I would make to each category. Below, I will give my predicted winner for each other category that will be giving an award.
The Nominees
Ford v. Ferrari
What Will Win: 1917
What Should Win: The Irishman
If There's an Upset: Parasite
Should've Been Here: Uncut Gems
Breakdown: Among this group of nominees, there's none I'd really be displeased with. Joker aside, which I don't think is an awful film, a win from any of these films would be okay. I don't admire Ford v Ferarri or Jojo as much as some. 1917 appears to have the inside edge after a Producers Guild Win. The PGA has prediction 21 of the last 30 Best Picture winners since the award was first given. However, Parasite is making a strong last minute push with a big win at SAG, and major support for Bong Joon-ho.
Cynthia Erivo, Harriet
Scarlett Johansson, Marriage Story
Saorise Ronan, Little Women
Charlize Theron, Bombshell
Renée Zelleweger, Judy
Who Will Win: Zelleweger
Who Should Win: Ronan
If There's an Upset: Johansson
Should've Been Here: Lupita Nyong'o, Us
Breakdown: SAG and Golden Globes and went with Zelleweger. I personally don't understand the love for the performance. Johansson seems to be the most likely upset if there is one. Last year Glenn Close took home the precursors and Olivia Colman pulled off the shocker on Oscar night. This isn't as competitive as it was last year. However, anything can happen at the Oscars. Ultimately, this will likely go Zelleweger who will get her second trophy.
Antonio Banderas, Pain and Glory
Leonardo DiCaprio, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
Adam Driver, Marriage Story
Joaquin Phoenix, Joker
Jonathan Pryce, The Two Popes
Who Will Win: Phoenix
Who Should Win: Driver
If There's an Upset: Driver
Should've Been Here: Adam Sandler, Uncut Gems
Breakdown: This appears to be Joaquin's moment. Good for him, it's a really good performance. Driver could be the one who pulls off an upset here. He seems to have a lot of Academy support. However, the Sandman was robbed. DiCaprio has a ton of admirers in the Academy but he won back in 2016 so it seems unlikely he has a shot here. Banderas gives one of my favorite performances of last year but he's out too. Thankfully, one of our best actors will finally get his due. I'm okay wit that.
Kathy Bates, Richard Jewell
Laura Dern, Marriage Story
Scarlett Johansson, Jojo Rabbit
Florence Pugh, Little Women
Margot Robbie, Bombshell
Who Will Win: Dern
Who Should Win: Pugh
If There's an Upset: Pugh or Johansson
Should've Been Here: Jennifer Lopez, Hustlers
Breakdown: The two supporting categories are about as close as it comes to locked up. Dern will get her due for her terrific work in Marriage Story. Pugh has a chance, she may have given my favorite performances of last year. They double dipped for ScarJo, the first time that has happened since Cate Blanchett in 2007. I'm pretty confident in saying Dern will be holding the Oscar on February 9. However, stranger things have happened.
Tom Hanks, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Anthony Hopkins, The Two Popes
Al Pacino, The Irishman
Joe Pesci, The Irishman
Brad Pitt, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
Who Will Win: Pitt
Who Should Win: Pitt
If There's an Upset: Pesci? I don't know.
Should've Been Here: Song Kang-ho, Parasite
Breakdown: Thankfully, there isn't much to say here. Pitt has this locked up. In fact, if he doesn't win, well, that would certainly be the biggest surprise of the night aside from some huge drama in Best Picture. Pitt's performance is a revelation and beyond that, he's probably due for the "lifetime achievement" Oscar. Regardless, I can't wait to see Pitt's speech, and what a group of actors he will be beating for his first statue.
The Irishman, Martin Scorsese
Joker, Todd Phillips
1917, Sam Mendes
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino
Parasite, Bong Joon-ho
Who Will Win: Mendes
Who Should Win: Bong
If There's an Upset: Bong
Should've Been Here: Little Women, Greta Gerwig
Breakdown: I'm going out a limb here a little bit. Bong's Parasite probably won't win Best Picture. However, there's precedent for this. After he lost best picture twice, Alfonso Cuaron won best director twice. Honestly, the only one I'd truly be upset with if they won is Phillips. To be blunt, I'm not sure why he's here. Gerwig certainly should be here over him. As much as I'd like this to be the case, if Mendes wins, it certainly doesn't guarantee a Parasite best picture win. I'm predicting a split, but, if Mendes wins here, it could spell a victory for 1917.

GoTo rolls out new fleet for roundtrip service
GoTo, the island's first national car sharing solution by Debono Group, is today introducing a roundtrip service to give users the convenience of having a car available round the clock, whether for meetings, shopping or the weekend.
This new option serves as a personal car and gives drivers the facility of securing a vehicle three months in advance and keeping it for longer, unlike GoTo's popular one-way service that can only be booked 15 minutes in advance.
Car Sharing Services Malta CEO Liran Golan said: "Our GoTo car sharing option has grown exponentially within just six months and we are witnessing a trend where those living in Malta are slowly seeking alternatives to owning a car — this new service continues to build on this green philosophy."
This €8 million initiative, run by Car Sharing Services Malta, a subsidiary of CAR2GO Israel, and established in collaboration with Transport Malta, was introduced in Malta last November and has already surpassed expectations.
To date close to 8,000 drivers have registered to use its fleet of electric cars with an average of 650 trips a day being recorded. According to the latest international research, the carsharing market is growing at a rapid rate as governments introduce positive directives for such services.
This coupled with citizens' increasing concerns over environmental degradation, as well as the high maintenance and upfront cost attached to personal cars, people are prefer-ring shared mobility services for commuting.
GoTo's new roundtrip service uses hybrid Toyotas and once the prepaid time is overall you have to do is just drop off the car at the same spot you picked it up from.
A total of 30 cars will be made available from 10 localities across Malta and Gozo start-ing this week. Contrary to the one-way service, these cars can only be accessed from private parking areas.
"Our goal is to offer an innovative, cost-efficient and convenient alternative to owning a car. This ties in with government plans to introduce alternative transportation modes, and reduce dependency on private cars," Mr Liran said.
A new app incorporating both the roundtrip service (A2A) and the one-way service (A2B) has just been launched. Download from Google Play or App Store.

'I Stood Them Against the Wall & Blasted Them'—Israelis Confess to Massacre IDF Tried to Censor
July 28, 2017 July 28, 2017 renegade 5 Comments
By Claire Bernish
"I saw a fair number of corpses," recalled former Knesset member and Israeli government minister, Yair Tsaban, on the massacre carried out on the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin, for director, Neta Shoshani. "I don't remember encountering the corpse of a fighting man. Not at all. I remember mostly women and old men."
"An old man and a woman, sitting in the corner of a room with their faces to the wall, and they are shot in the back," he recounted. "That cannot have been in the heat of battle. No way."
Yet, despite considerable evidence to the contrary, critics vituperatively insist no such assault occurred, as Deir Yassin villagers were the aggressors against several pre-state militias battling for an independent, demarcated Israel.
A few of the surviving smattering of eyewitnesses and participants in the atrocity relayed to Shoshani haunting memories of the decimation of the village — which began on the morning of April 9, 1948, as part of an operation meant to destroy a blockade on the road to Jerusalem in one of many incidents ultimately leading to what Israelis call the War of Independence — for a documentary entitled "Born in Deir Yassin."
But, like any nation whose violent aggression leads to geostrategic or political victory over less-prepared defending forces, documentation, photographs, testimonies, and accounts from witnesses to the horrific Deir Yassin bloodbath have been cloistered away by the Israeli government. Seven decades after the fact, multiple records requests from Shoshani and Haaretz were not granted by Israel, under the premise the information would needlessly stir further controversy and possibly damage the country's reputation.
A mere cursory glance at the information Shoshani compiled for the documentary proves Israeli misgivings more than warranted.
"[O]ur movement carried out a tremendous operation to occupy the Arab village on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv road — Deir Yassin. I participated in this operation in the most active way," Yehuda Feder penned in a letter shortly after the massacre, of the operation undertaken by the Menachem Begin-led, pre-state National Military Organization, known by the acronym, Etzel; Lehi, the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel; and other militias.
"This was the first time in my life that at my hands and before my eyes Arabs fell. In the village I killed an armed Arab man and two Arab girls of 16 or 17 who were helping the Arab who was shooting. I stood them against a wall and blasted them with two rounds from the Tommy gun," Feder blithely wrote of the spontaneous machine gun execution of teenage girls.
"We confiscated a lot of money and silver and gold jewelry fell into our hands," he said of shameless looting by fighters after they had methodically lobbed grenades at houses, shot women, children, and the elderly, and generally unleashed chaotic bloody terror on the small village.
Unsettling thus aptly characterizes zealousness evident in Feder's words — though he was far from alone in believing the Deir Yassin assault justified — bubbling unspoken but no less apparent from between the lines he composed 70 years ago. Indeed, the soldier deftly intimated the scope of bloodshed and unapologetic savagery in the concluding line of his letter, writing starkly,
"This was a really tremendous operation and it is with reason that the left is vilifying us again."
Even with the paucity of solid documentation, thanks to Tel Aviv's tight lips, Shoshani managed to glean further appalling details from some who took part, including distressing recollections from the Jerusalem commander of Lehi, Yehoshua Zettler.
"They ran like cats," Zettler chillingly mused to the filmmaker in 2009, shortly before his death, of terrified Palestinians fleeing their homes while pre-state forces lay siege to Deir Yassin. "I won't tell you that we were there with kid gloves on. House after house … we're putting in explosives and they are running away. An explosion and move on, an explosion and move on and within a few hours, half the village isn't there any more."
Zettler remained adamant until his death that the offensive against the Palestinian Arabs in Deir Yassin was not a massacre — somewhat contradicting his raw account of the aftermath:
"Our guys made a number of mistakes there that made me angry. Why did they do that? They took dead people, piled them up and burned them. There began to be a stink. This is not so simple."
Professor Mordechai Gichon, a lieutenant colonel in the Israel Defense Forces reserves and Haganah intelligence officer, sent to Deir Yassin after the assault, reports Haaretz, recounted the harrowing scene unfolding as he entered the village decades ago,
"There was a feeling of considerable slaughter and it was hard for me to explain it to myself as having been done in self-defense. My impression was more of a massacre than anything else. If it is a matter of killing innocent civilians, then it can be called a massacre."
Tsaban, the former Israeli official, recalled deployment to Deir Yassin with fellow members of the Youth Brigades to bury the dead — or, rather, to cover up the enormity of the horror meted by pro-Independence forces in an effort to dodge inevitable brimstone from around the world were the truth made plain.
"The rationale was that the Red Cross was liable to show up at any moment and it was necessary to blur the traces [of the killings] because publication of pictures and testimonies about what had happened in the village would be very damaging to the image of our War of Independence," Tsaban candidly asserted.
During a visit to the Haganah Archive, Shoshani told Haaretz in an interview in advance of the premier of her documentary at the Jerusalem Film Festival, a man quietly pulled her aside and conveyed he had taken photographs in Deir Yassin immediately after the massacre — but had not seen those images since.
"The man was Shraga Peled, 91, who at the time of the massacre was in the Haganah Information Service," Haaretz explains. "He told Shoshani that after the battle he was sent to the village with a camera to document what he saw there. 'When I got to Deir Yassin, the first thing I saw was a big tree to which a young Arab fellow was tied. And this tree was burnt in a fire. They had tied him to it and burned him. I photographed that,' he related. He also claims he photographed from afar what looked like a few dozen other corpses collected in a quarry adjacent to the village. He handed the film over to his superiors, he says, and since then he has not seen the photos.
"Possibly this is because the photos are part of the visual material that is hidden to this day in the Archive of the IDF and the Defense Ministry, of which the state is prohibiting publication even 70 years after the fact. Shoshani petitioned the High Court of Justice about this a decade ago as part of her final project at Bezalel. Haaretz joined her in the petition."
Years of persistent, dedicated research and interviews with witnesses and others revealed for Shoshani the true horrors of April 9, 1948, but there are many who take vociferous issue with the incident at Deir Yassin being termed a massacre — a few even assert it never happened.
Politicized selective descriptions aside, however, Deir Yassin represents a symbolic flashpoint in the acerbic battle for land simultaneously deemed Palestine and Israel, marking the onset oppression and apartheid conditions since endured by Palestinian Arabs under the Israeli occupation.
War exploded a few weeks after the massacre, on May 14, 1948, immediately after Israel declared its independence.

jews pretending to have a conscience about the slaughter of non-jews; That's cute. I particularly enjoyed the remark about how it was a "mistake" to pile bodies up and try to burn them, as it's "…not so simple." No sh*t, just like it was scientifically impossible to burn piles of bodies in pits full of water at Auschwitz or 2,500 corpses at a time on open-air pyres made of railway tracks at Treblinka. Clearly, the Reindhard Camp fairy tales hadn't solidified yet, or this military commander would have known how he was de-legitimizing his own holocaust mythology… Read more »

Modi says violent protests 'deeply distressing'
The passing of the CAA has led to protests in many parts of India
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi termed as 'deeply distressing' the violent protests taking place against his government's move to lend a sympathetic ear to non-Muslims when evaluating whether to deport illegal immigrants to their Islamic homelands.
The Citizenship Amendment Act passed last week allows non-Muslim illegal migrants from neighboring Islamic countries to remain in the country forever, while Muslim illegal immigrants will continue to be deported.
The government has defended the move by pointing out that Muslims have nothing to fear from returning to their Islamic homeland, but non-Muslims face the risk of religious persecution.
However, the law — which discriminates between illegal migrants on the basis of their religion — has raised the hackles of many political and rights activists who believe that it sits ill at ease with the secular fundamentals of the Indian polity.
They have also expressed the fear that the law, which effectively exempts non-Muslims from being deported, may be the first step towards a nationwide exercise asking people to submit documents to prove that their ancestors belonged to India, or face incarceration.
They fear that such a move, when combined with the new Citizenship Amendment Act giving exemptions to non-Muslims, may result in the imprisonment of Muslim citizens of the country who do not have documentary evidence to prove that their ancestors lived here. Among the documentary proof accepted are copies of land titles and other government records.
Today, Modi tried to reassure citizens that they should not be worried about such a possibility.
"I want to unequivocally assure my fellow Indians that CAA does not affect any citizen of India of any religion. No Indian has anything to worry regarding this Act. This Act is only for those who have faced years of persecution outside and have no other place to go except India," he said.
He urged people to not pay any heed to speculation that the new laws were meant to target Indian Muslims.
"The need of the hour is for all of us to work together for the development of India and the empowerment of every Indian, especially the poor, the downtrodden and the marginalised. We cannot allow vested interest groups to divide us and create disturbance."
"This is the time to maintain peace, unity and brotherhood. It is my appeal to everyone to stay away from any sort of rumour mongering and falsehoods," he added.
He also urged people to stay away from violent protests.
"Violent protests on the Citizenship Amendment Act are unfortunate and deeply distressing. Debate, discussion and dissent are essential parts of democracy but, never has damage to public property and disturbance of normal life been a part of our ethos."
The move to give exemption to non-Muslims from incarceration has led to criticism from even supporters of the government.
"We are told that #CAB is bill to grant citizenship and not to take it from anyone. But the truth is together with #NRC, it could turn into a lethal combo in the hands of Government to systematically discriminate and even prosecute people based on religion," said Prashant Kishor, a branding and strategy consultant who is credited with contributing to Modi's surprising success in the 2014 general elections.
"The idea of nation wide NRC is equivalent to demonetisation of citizenship….invalid till you prove it otherwise," he added.
Chetan Bhagat, arguably the most successful English pulp fiction writer in independent India and someone who has always defended Modi against his detractors, too sounded a note of caution.
"The CAB required more education, more consensus building, a lot better wording and frankly better intentions,"he said today. "Stirring the social pot constantly is going to hurt us and the already weak economy."
"Repeated and prolonged Internet shutdowns hurt business and the economy. Sends a message that we are an unpredictable, third-world country where things are not under control," he added.
Journalist Arnab Goswami, who often defends many of the government's policies on his shows, was also scathing in his criticism of the latest move to give citizenship to illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, the new law has led to protests in different parts of the country, but for different reasons.
While people in Assam and the North East are fighting against the decision to allow non-Muslim illegal migrants to stay on, groups in other parts of the country are fighting against what they see as the 'discriminatory nature' of a law that gives citizenship to non-Muslim applicants from India's Muslim neighbors, while denying the same to Muslim applicants from these countries.
