CZ alleges FTX paid $43M to news organization to publish Binance FUD
cryptoslate.com 24 January 2023 12:40, UTC
Reading time: ~2 m
Binance CEO Changpeng (CZ) Zhao alleged during a Twitter space talk that FTX paid $43 million to a crypto news outlet that regularly publishes negative articles on Binance,
CZ claimed that traders with short positions look to "generate negative news" to better their trades. Therefore, he is "fine" with crypto skeptics such as Peter Schiff criticizing the industry as "they don't get it, they don't understand it."
However, he admitted to paying attention to the negative press allegedly funded by FTX. CZ said:
"I don't think it's going to stop, but I don't think it's going to bother us that much going forward."
The Binance CEO praised the ability of people to "come to their own judgments," stating that "people are pretty smart today… most people are no longer fooled by clickbait titles."
In response to another audience question on AI, CZ asserted that Binance is using the technology in many parts of its business. For example, roughly 75% of Binance's customer support is handled via AI, along with risk management, transaction monitoring, fraud detection, and market manipulation detection.
CZ also believes there will be further implementation of AI technology within the blockchain space in relation to analyzing data and detecting critical changes to risk.
"With machine learning becoming more and more mature and more stronger, there will be more and more applications."
Risk management was a critical factor in the failure of many crypto exchanges and lending services throughout 2022. Therefore, the ability of AI to mitigate the difficulties of managing risk within a complex on-chain environment could be crucially important to blockchain projects in the future.

'Freedom will come' airdropped over Raqqa
In this photo released on Jan. 6, 2015, by a militant website, which has been verified and is consistent with other AP reporting, a militant, center, speaks to youths during a street preaching event at Tel Abyad town in Raqqa province, northeast Syria. (AP)
Published Monday, July 20, 2015
A US-led coalition dropped new leaflets over the de facto capital of the Daesh (IS) group in Syria, promising those below that "freedom will come" to the region, activists said Sunday.
An anti-Daesh group called Raqqa is Being Silently Slaughtered and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the leaflets had drawings showing dead extremists and their flag turned upside down.
Four fighters with the main Kurdish militia, the People's Protection Units, or YPG, walked down a street in the picture, with two words in Arabic below translated as "Freedom will come".
The latest leaflet drop comes as YPG fighters have been advancing in northern Syria as close as 50km (30 miles) north of Raqqa.
Coalition warplanes have dropped such leaflets in the past. A previous one had a cartoon showing masked extremists at a "hiring office" feeding people into a meat grinder.
Also Sunday, the extremists gave Internet cafes in Raqaa four days to stop offering wireless Internet connections to nearby homes, the Observatory and Raqqa is Being Silently Slaughtered said.
The move comes two weeks after extremists released a video purporting to show the killing of two Syrian men in Raqqa, allegedly for spying.
Meanwhile in Iraq on Sunday, a series of bombings killed at least eight people and wounded about two dozen others.
In Diyala on Sunday, a roadside bomb killed four people and wounded nine near the Diyala Bridge, southeast of the capital, police said.
In al-Ameen, a district in east Baghdad, police said two people were killed and eight wounded when a roadside bomb detonated near a busy cafe, police said. And in the Baghdad suburb of Nahrawan, two people were killed and six wounded when a bomb exploded on a busy commercial street.
Hospital officials corroborated the deaths. All spoke on the condition of anonymity as they are not authorised to brief journalists.

What you may not know about the 2018 World Barista Champion, Aga Rojewska
ARTICLE September 13, 2018 Minsk, Belarus
Aga Rojewska became the World Barista Champion in June 2018, after months of practice and preparations of her routine. Since her win, Aga has barely stopped touring the world. Training, judging competitions such as the German AeroPress Championship or giving talks at coffee events.
We are happy to share with you a great interview that our friend Jane Lash led with Aga back in July, during the Belarus AeroPress Championship, and we hope you will learn something new about this barista heroine!
Agnieszka is a very friendly and cheerful person. What we love the most about her though is her humour. When Jane Lash opens the interview with a question 'Aga, when did you first start in coffee?', the first female World Barista Champion replies: "That is a good question, nobody asked me that before!". And it is exactly in this sense that the interview continues for another hour!
Aga's introduction to speciality coffee and competitions
Agnieszka tells us about her beginnings in coffee some ten years ago, when she had black hair, and how she progressed from loving coffee for its looks—latte art—and into appreciating the taste and flavours in different beans. How she went from learning to pour latte art from Youtube videos to brewing no matter what coffee she could get her hands on and participating in Barista Championships.

Ten years later, Agnieszka is a three times Barista Champion of Poland, four times Latte Art Championship winner, she has won the London Coffee Masters 2017 (and participated in the New York competition) and the list goes on. She also tells her audience about her World Championship success—apparently, it is not so great as people say!
"People exaggerate the amount of stuff I won!", she concludes. But you don't win that many competitions without any effort. Aga actually participated in competitions every year since her first one, and in more than one category every time. That is a commitment!
You will learn that Aga is quite an introvert. She was actually signed up for her first competition by someone else! Since the first participation—six months into her first cafe job—she has been competing until nowadays. And why? Because she can see the progress in her skills from one competition to another. That is what keeps her coming back to the competition drill and training.
Running a cafe was not for Aga
Aga is not only a barista and a barista trainer. During her years of competing, she had also run a cafe with her friend. It was where she learned a lot about customer service and how to present coffees to the people coming to her cafe. And Aga learned the hard way. She says about the beginnings: "People didn't come back [to the cafe] because the education we provided was forced."
Brisman Kawowy Bar that Aga used to run with her business partner
You could see in her 2018 WBC presentation that she has learned a lot throughout her career. The way she presented the drinks to the judges speaks volumes about how she treats the guests at her cafe.
But she was not born to manage a business, or to be stuck in the office, as Aga said. The business is a big responsibility. And after five years, Aga left the business in the hands of her business partner.
What keeps Agnieszka going?
As she is touring the world, attending events, working as a barista trainer, she finds some advantage in the lifestyle she chose. Aga can schedule her work days the way that she likes it, and when it comes to getting up in the morning, she does it, as a true coffee lover, for the coffee itself. "No matter how much you try and how much you learn, there is always more to learn. And I just want to keep up," Aga says.
photo – Jane Lash
This hard-working lady also says: "There is no life for me, there is only work." But then, she explains that her job is actually what she enjoys doing. And in such cases, when you do what you love, you are not actually working at all.
If you follow the interview further, you will learn what coffee she used for her first win at the 2014 Polish Barista Championship. Was it a coffee from Yemen or Rwanda? And who chose it? Did it taste any good? You may even catch a swear word in Agnieszka's narrative.
And how does Aga prepare for Latte Art Championships? How does she learn to do her patterns? How many times do you need to pour one in order to pour it perfectly in the finals? Just listen, of course, it matters what coffee and milk you use, too!
If you listen carefully, you may notice a number that repeats itself in the interview. It is 34. It was that long that it took Aga to fly to Australia for her World Latte Art Championship appearance in 2014, and it was also the rank she took in Seattle and in Dublin and the World Barista Championships. Finally, in 2018, she skipped the ranks in between though and won. Perhaps it would be different, had she competed in Seoul in 2017. We will never know!
What we do know, thanks to Aga, is how difficult it is to secure high-quality beans for the barista competition. It is so difficult you need to plan a year ahead. And it is not cheap! Luckily, she got help from Sasa Sestic who chose two competitors to be sponsored in 2018 by his Project Origin, and Aga considered herself really lucky to be one of those two with this scholarship.
Getting a coffee secured by Project Origin was not the end of her preparations though. Flying to Australia, working on her routine, her speech and then working remotely, from home, to ensure every second of her presentation is on point, that was a work worth of several months.

World Barista Championship in Amsterdam
When the time has come for the 2018 WBC, Agnieszka was lucky that it was possible to go with a car. Why? Because of her equipment. And that is not only the regular equipment but also her table set-up made by her dad. But the most important part of her routine was not there—her coffee!
Listening to Aga talk about the first rounds and then the semifinals, you realise that there was no rest for the wicked during the 2018 WBC. Even though she was going to the semi-finals from the third rank in total, she went back to the training room and added one technical step to her routine. A change maybe not even noticed by many, but vital for the right extraction of her espressos.
Agnieszka Rojewska competing in the 2018 WBC
Aga Rojewska, the first ever woman in many respects
We all have celebrated Aga as the first female to win the World Barista Championship, but she was also the only woman to be in the finals this year, and the first Polish to ever rank so highly in the competition. Or as Aga said, 'The best ever Polish in the history!'.
Aga's message to other women competitors was: "Backstage, everybody is equal. … This win shows to girls that it is possible and it will encourage them to compete. It is fun, and you don't have to be serious about it."
Aga after the 2018 WBC announcements
Aga also talks about her next plans and steps. At the time of this interview, it was only two weeks after the competition, and so it must have been hard for Aga to believe this was her reality. She talks about the responsibility and what comes with the title of the speciality coffee ambassador. The most that she hopes for though is to be the ambassador of coffee in her country and her city.
Listen to the whole interview to know what Aga thinks also about the Minsk and Belarus coffee culture. Does she see any similarities between Polish and Belarus coffee scenes?
Aga is a humble and self-driven barista, and it is always a pleasure to listen to her talk about her greatest passion. Aga finished her talk with a wish for everyone to 'Always be happy when brewing coffee!'. Thanks to Jane Lash for a wonderful video recording of this talk!

"The Public Has a Right to Art:" Keith Haring's Art & Activism
Join us for a live Zoom lecture about Keith Haring's art and activism, led by Dr. Leesa Rittelmann.
By Fenimore Art Museum
Tue, July 27, 2021, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT
"The Public Has a Right to Art:" Keith Haring's Art & Activism – A Lecture by Dr. Leesa Rittelmann
Foreshadowing a career devoted to art displayed outside the confines of museum and gallery walls, twenty-year-old art student Keith Haring's manifesto declared that "art is for everybody" and "the public has a right to art." Haring arrived in New York at the apex of its graffiti revolution and within ten short years transformed its cryptic, insular style in to a more democratically accessible form of street art. Graphic and energetic, his Pop-inspired, radiant, crawling babies, barking dogs and flying saucers held broad public appeal but the majority of his work was created to raise awareness of social injustices like Apartheid, the Cold War, drug abuse, LGBTQ rights and the HIV/AIDS crisis.
This illustrated lecture via Zoom will address Haring's legacy as an artist whose work manifested the genre of street art as we know it today and whose activism gave voice and visibility to millions suffering from an array of under-represented social and political injustices. Special attention will be paid to works created in service of child-wellness and HIV/AIDS awareness, the two issues supported by The Haring Foundation, a philanthropic organization established by Haring in 1989.
$9 for Museum Members, $10 for Non-Members. This is a live Zoom lecture. An internet connection is required to attend. A link to the Zoom session will be sent to the email address used to register for the program, on the morning of the lecture.
Dr. Leesa Rittelmann is Associate Professor of Art History at SUNY Fredonia. She holds an M.A./ Ph.D. in Art History from The University of Pittsburgh. Her teaching specialties include modern and contemporary art, history of photography and new media, gender studies, German and American modern art, and Black American art.
This project is supported by a Market New York grant awarded to Fenimore Art Museum from I LOVE NY/New York State's Division of Tourism as part of the Regional Economic Development Council awards.
The exhibition is sponsored in part by Mr. Gary Cassinelli & Mr. Nick Preston, The Clark Foundation, Nellie & Robert Gipson, Hughson & Benson Associates Insurance, Joe & Carol Mahon, NYCM Insurance, Mr. & Mrs. Thomas O. Putnam, and The Tom Morgan & Erna J. McReynolds Charitable Foundation.

The Bachelor third-season star Andrew Firestone said he was "shell-shocked" after things didn't work with Jen Schefft.
"I was totally crushed, I tried so hard to make it work," Firestone told Us Weekly in the magazine's June 23 issue. "But everything happens for a reason. Sometimes you get hurt before you actually make it right."
Firestone plans to "make it right" this July when he weds actress/model Ivana Bozilovic, whom he proposed to last September on the beach prior to a surprise 30th birthday party he planned for her, popping the question with a 2.5-carat diamond ring he helped design.
"For us, a big part of the wedding is getting ready to start a family," Firestone told Us. "We both want kids so badly."
Firestone starred in The Bachelor's Spring 2003 third season, where he narrowed a field of 25 bachelorettes down to Jen Schefft and proposed to her in the show's finale. However there was no marriage and they eventually split in December 2003.
"I was probably a little too young," Firestone told Us, reflecting on Schefft. "The relationship felt right at the time. When you get into a relationship, you have to jump in with reckless abandon. So I made myself totally vulnerable and I ended up getting bitten."
Firestone added he "was going above and beyond to try to make it work" with Schefft, but she eventually starred in The Bachelorette's third season in Winter 2005. Schefft subsequently rejected marriage proposals from both Jerry Ferris and John Paul Merritt in The Bachelorette's third-season finale.
"I would never point fingers, but when Jen did The Bachelorette, I was like, 'Okay, you see now that there might have been an issue?' Did that look like somebody who wanted to be in a committed relationship and make things work?" Firestone asked Us. "That was -- in a small way -- vindicating. People saw that maybe she wasn't ready, maybe it wasn't my fault. I felt relieved a little."
Not only did Firestone say he felt vindicated after the way The Bachelorette ended, he also met Bozilovic immediately after filming an appearance on The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All in February 2005.
"I was with friends at the Four Seasons Hotel in L.A. and had three hours before a flight, and they said, 'There's a girl you have to meet,'" Firestone told Us. "She walks up -- stunningly beautiful -- and she's wearing a sweat suit with this big wet mark and she's laughing and she says, 'I sat in a puddle.' How disarming is it to see this beautiful girl laughing at herself?"
"It's the way you want to make a first impression, for sure," Bozilovic told Us.
While Bozilovic said she recognized Firestone for his stint on The Bachelor, she added she never watched the ABC reality dating series.
"I was kind of turned off by the fact that he was The Bachelor -- not the type of guy I wanted to date," she told Us. "But that went away within the first few minutes. Just talking, you could tell how genuine he was."
Still, when the couple embarked on their first date on Valentine's Day 2005, Bozilovic said she was a little guarded. But Firestone persisted and she met his family on Easter 2005 -- which is when they both said they knew they were right for each other.
"It's a lot to handle," Firestone told Us. "It's one of those situations where it's like, 'Let's see how it goes, and if she doesn't like it, it'll be a good test.' And it was the opposite."
"I'd never seen him around kids before, and my guard -- which had been up, up, up -- was gone," added Bozilovic. "He's so good with kids it's unbelievable. It melted my heart."
The two continued to date before rumors started to circulate early last summer that they were planning to wed, which apparently caught Schefft's attention.
"She texted me about a year ago when there was a rumor that Ivana and I were engaged, but I didn't respond," Firestone told Us. "I know that sounds mean, but I just figure when an ex contacts you, if you write back, it means you're interested."
As he prepares to walk down the aisle during his wedding ceremony to Bozilovic at St. Mark's in the Valley Episcopal Church in Santa Ynez -- in which The Bachelor host Chris Harrison will be one of the 300 guests in attendance -- Firestone said he recently had the opportunity to relive some of his The Bachelor experience.
"They were playing reruns on VH1, and I've grown up so much since then," he told Us. "The Bachelor, in a way, was my maturation process. You talk about your feelings and spend so much time on self-analysis that it's therapeutic. You vet out what you want. I'm grateful for that."

Robert Guerrero vs Yoshihiro Kamegai
Guerrero vs Kamegai purses: 'Ghost' returning at $1MM, Kamegai making $75K
Robert Guerrero will be tomorrow night's only million dollar man on the purse sheets, while main event foe Yoshihiro Kamegai will make $75,000.

Share All sharing options for: Guerrero vs Kamegai purses: 'Ghost' returning at $1MM, Kamegai making $75K
In one of the bigger main event pay mismatches you'll see on Showtime or HBO any time soon, Robert Guerrero will make a $1 million purse for tomorrow night's Showtime fight, while opponent Yoshihiro Kamegai has a purse of just $75,000.
Certainly, there are bigger differences out there -- every time Floyd Mayweather fights, he makes a lot more than $925,000 more than his opponents, but those guys are still making a couple million in purse total. This is another thing entirely.
As I was reminded on Twitter, this is closer to the Cotto-Mayorga fight a couple of years ago, when Miguel made $1 million and Mayorga had a $50,000 purse, which in the end was something like $12,000 because he had some tax debts or whatever that had to be paid, too.
The bottom line is that they're telling you Kamegai (24-1, 21 KO) is a main event fighter tomorrow, but they sure aren't paying him like he is one, and that's really probably the best indicator of at least perceived worth. $75K and a chance to break through is probably a good deal if you're Kamegai, but it tells you what Golden Boy really thinks of this fight, too.
Guerrero-Kamegai Fight Week Coverage
Devon Alexander will make $450,000 and Jesus Soto Karass $150,000 for their co-feature welterweight bout, while as per their purse bid agreement, Vasyl Lomachenko will make $631,500 to Gary Russell Jr's $421,000. Russell's team tried to challenge that, but were denied by the WBO.
Other purses:
Chad Dawson $15,000 vs George Blades $20,000. That's not being read wrong. Dawson also loses $3,000 for weight issues, and Blades gets $1,500 of that, so Blades is making $21,500, with Dawson at $12,000 tomorrow. That's the world Chad Dawson is in.
Dominic Breazeale $12,500 vs Devin Vargas $12,500.
Vyacheslav Shabranskyy $75,000 vs Micahel Gbenga $6,000.
Sharif Bogere $10,000 vs Miguel Zamudio $8,000.
Michael Hunter $7,500 vs Jerry Forrest $5,000.

COVID dampens Japan's New Year's Day festivities

TOKYO (JAPAN) – While New Year's Day is considered the biggest holiday in Japan's calendar, all the festivities were subdued after the government urged people to stay at home this year due to a nationwide spike in COVID cases.
Japan's Emperor Naruhito appealed to the public to work together through the pandemic in a videotaped New Year's Day address to the nation released on Friday.
"I am wishing from my heart that everyone can move forward during this hard time by supporting and helping one another," he said in the address, which was released in place of an annual public appearance by the imperial family during the New Year holidays. The event was cancelled this year because of the pandemic.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga also released a written statement, vowing he would "protect the lives of the people" and promising to work on "virus countermeasures and economic recovery."
"The Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held this summer," he added, saying that preparations for the delayed events were under way.
About 3,480 people have died in Japan from around 235,700 cases during the pandemic so far.
New Year's Day festivities in Japan involves spending time with family and praying at local temples, where hordes of people wish for good luck in the coming year.
But it was a quieter affair than usual at Meiji Jingu, a shrine in central Tokyo, with masked visitors queuing behind tape on the ground to stay socially distant from one another.
"Last year was full of depressing news because of the coronavirus, so I prayed that people around the world would find more happiness," a woman in her 40s called Nami said,after offering her prayers at the shrine.
"I prayed for a speedy end to the pandemic," said Megumi, a sports trainer in her 40s, adding that she hopes to "get through the year by enjoying the new ways that I can connect with friends."

Q: tchar.h on linux I am trying to write cross platform i18n C++ code. Since most linux system prefer to use UTF-8 as the character encoding, I thought that I should use string on linux and wstring on Windows. Is tchar.h available on linux? What is an equivalent replacement on for tchar.h on Linux?

A: You may find this article to be useful.  In particular, near the end they discuss a bit about using TCHAR and dealing with Windows code.
The article summarization is:

TCHAR will be translated into a wide character data type when compiling this code with the GNU C Compiler (most portable libraries define TCHAR in their headers and refer to wchar_t). This, in fact, was how I turned my C++ program into an anagram generator: I used standard C++ strings filled with UTF-8 and fed the data with pointers casted to wchar_t to library functions. UTF-8 data interpreted as UTF-32 equals garbage (but it is tremendously useful for obfuscation of data and bugs).

A: To build my Windows centric source I was able to use the tchar.h file from Cygwin's found in the cygwin\usr\include\w32api folder.
I am actually building using Android NDK.
For my purposes I made a copy of tchar.h and patched it.
//#include <crtdefs.h>

#define _CRTIMP

//#define _strninc(_pc,_sz) (((_pc)+(_sz)))
//  _CRTIMP size_t __cdecl __strncnt(const char *_Str,size_t _Cnt);

The Melody of the Soul by Liza Tolmsin
By 1943, Anna Zadok, a Jewish Christian living in Prague, has lost everything, including her career as a concert violinist and almost her entire family. The only person she has left is her beloved grandmother, and she's determined to keep her safe. But protecting Grandmother won't be easy--not with a Nazi officer billeted below them.
Anna must keep a low profile. There's one thing she refuses to give up, though. Despite instruments being declared illegal, Anna defiantly continues to practice her violin. She has to believe that the war will end someday and her career will be waiting. Fortunately for Anna, the officer, Horst Engel, enjoys her soothing music. It distracts him from his dissatisfaction with Nazi ideology and reminds him that beauty still exists in an increasingly ugly world.
When his neighbors face deportation, Horst is moved to risk everything to hide them. Anna finds herself falling in love with the handsome officer and his brave heart. But what he reveals to her might break her trust and stop the music forever
LORI'S REVIEW
All i can say is you'd better have some tissue paper close by!!! It's a tear jerker!!
I like how the author can make the emotions of the people so real that you feel like you want to reach out and grab them away from everything bad that is happening but I guess that would be changing history.
I want to choke each and every Nazi and to them what they've done to the Jews!! It's so not fair!!
But God will take care of the former Nazi's as they say karma comes around if it hasn't already?
The only good thing I see so far is music. Music sooths the soul in any time or place. I know I'm a musician myself!! Only I play Viola. I'm 2nd generation in my family to play this instrument. my son plays violin.
Music has a special place in my heart. Even singing hymns praising God soothes my soul.
I'm like Anna in this way. This we have in common ( playing our instruments)
I like Horst ( even tho he's A Nazi) A good man caught up in a terrible delimma. through no fault of his own!!
I loved Anna's grandmother's faith, trust and advice. Even when facing her tribulations.
The only thing I had a hard time with was the big long German names.
The author did a fine job with a very hard subject and as I said at the beginning you'd better be sitting down and have a box of tissues beside you!!!!

Omid Safi Calls for Radical Love
by Isa Qasim
Yale Daily News
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/21212/omid-safi-calls-for-radical-love
Last Tuesday night, over 500 Yale students and faculty had the honor of hearing Omid Safi, professor of Islamic Studies at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, give the keynote address at the Eid Banquet hosted by the Yale Muslim Students Association. He called on us to hold ourselves to the highest standard of radical love. It was a speech unlike any I have previously heard at Yale.
Professor Safi spoke of the role of the prophet in society. Invoking the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he called upon students not to rest easy with the status quo but to constantly re-evaluate our own actions and those of our nation and to strive towards perfection. The metric by which he asked us to judge ourselves is love — not just casual caring when it's convenient, but the sort of love that demands sacrifice and selflessness. For, as Professor Safi claimed, we are intimately and fundamentally connected to one another, no matter the distances created by space and culture.
Much is made on this campus of the supposed apathy of our generation. Activists bemoan the seeming impossibility of getting Yalies passionate about issues beyond our college walls. Others complain that much of Yale's community outreach is fickle and unreliable, abandoned all too easily during midterms season. But for my part, I have always thought there was value in tending to one's own garden. A meaningful life need not be defined by self-sacrifice and it is possible to be fulfilled and satisfied as a banker living in Greenwich.
However, those who criticize our generation are not entirely off the mark. And that apathy they speak of runs deeper than political issues. In talking with my suitemates and friends about life after Yale, I have noticed a recurring theme. We find that we don't know what path we want to take with our lives, and, more troublingly, we don't have a framework within which to make that decision. I feel like I have no lens through which to evaluate the merits of different careers or post-graduation plans. I believe this is the reason that we see so many students sliding into the professions laid conveniently before them. We quite naturally and reasonably choose the path that is most comfortable and financially rewarding because we have no other metric by which to determine the value of a career. We're all looking to build fulfilling futures, but we may be missing some necessary tools.
Certainly in my daily life I rarely consider how to guide my actions outside of simple calculations of self utility. I try to be honest and fair with those I interact with, but I rarely interrogate myself in earnest about my supposed values and whether I live up to them. So I take my classes, I do my homework, I go to meetings, but I do so routinely, without inspiration. It sounds callous to say, but I doubt it is a problem unique to myself.
Yesterday, Professor Safi presented an alternative. He asked us to consider what it would mean to bring the prophetic, Abrahamic tradition into our lives. What he outlined was a vision of radical love, where we strive to have our every action be a celebration of our common humanity. It is only through this love that we can hope to create a more just society. Professor Safi illustrated this with a quote from Cornell West: "Justice is what love looks like in public."
I believe that the most effective way to make the Yale community a force for social good is to adopt his focus on radical love. A whole class of nonprofit workers lacking fundamental motivation would never accomplish as much as one ordinary citizen who adheres to this simple but demanding maxim. It is a code which, if taken seriously, has incredible power. If every Yale banker spoke up and stood firm when asked to act immorally or imprudently, banking would soon lose its unfortunate reputation.
What Yale needs then is a Great Awakening. It need not be a religious one, although I believe that Yale's vibrant religious community has much to offer. But it must be one based upon a recognition and celebration of the value of humanity. We should strive not to be comfortable or self-righteous or superior but loving. Life is a profoundly moral thing. It is only when we begin to grapple with this fact that we can pursue more meaningful satisfaction for our lives and our community. So let us each take on the role of the prophet that Professor Safi spoke of. Let us ask ourselves and our school to live by that most exalted standard, radical love.

At Grand View Ranch, we have researched sires and dams to create our foundation herd by analyzing EBV and progeny data to create a balanced yet highly marbled pedigree. All of our Fullblood Wagyu are DNA-certified to ensure their Japanese genetics. Here are some of the sires we have utilized in our herd.
Sanjirou is a linebred Yasumi Doi J10328 bull. Yasumi Doi J10328 sired Yasutanidoi J472 and grandsired both Fukutsuru 068 and Yasufuku 930. Sanjirou is out of the prominent Japanese cow Suzutani, who represents one of the most potent bloodlines in Japan. Her great-grandsire, Yasumi Doi J10328, is widely known for his ability to produce excellent meat quality and size. Suzutani's sire was Tanishige 1526, whose progeny test results demonstrate that he has heritable traits with a BMS score +3.1 (above the national average of +2.1) and a yield grade of 72.7 percent.
Suzutani's mother was Suzunami and her grandsire was Shigeshigenami J10632, who, though largely unknown in the United States, has a reputation for producing the best genetics in Japan (see Shigeshigetani). Sanjirou's genetic background suggests that he will have ideal meat production efficiency, with great meat quality, large REA, thick rib and high yield rate.
Shigeshigetani, while virtually unknown in the United States and Australia, represents a very powerful genetic strain of the Wagyu breed.
3,800 F1 calves fed 540 days [ADG = 2.156 lbs].
90 percent graded 9+ on the Australian scale [grading above 12.9 on a numerical scale, which is three full grades above the highest USDA grade of Prime].
Takazakura is the son of Takaei 1412 (grandsired by Yasufuku J930).
1,200 F1 calves fed 540 days [ADG = 1.87 lbs].
TF Itomichi 1-2's grandsire is Dai 7 Itozakura J65. His mother, Dai 2 Kintou, and grandmother, Ezokintou 1A, are high-grade cows of the Haraharashu line. His great-grandmother, Ezokintou J11961, was awarded Grand Prize at the third Zenkyo (All- Japan Wagyu) competition.
The Dai Ni Kinto line is known for producing consistently large, quality beef. Itomichi 1-2 has been used to increase mature size and growth rate without reducing marbling.
TF Itohana 2 is a Fujiyoshi Fullblood Wagyu bull, the third in the herd used to increase frame size and improve maternal ability.
The progeny of TF Itohana 2 exhibit excellent maternal ability, good milking ability, and good frame size. He is a male calf of Aino 6 -- a notable fact given that 100% of the carcasses (17 of 17 cattle slaughtered)from the Aino group graded A-5 - the highest grade possible and the average live weight was 1,040 lbs.


Starts on the far right with hands matched on a ledge about 6 ft up. Traverse left on progressively steeper rock into the corner where you transition into Terra Cotta (a kneebar is possible just before the turn). Builds until the end -- pumpy.
