I have a confession to make. I don't love gelato. Don't get me wrong, I like it just fine, I just don't, like some pals of mine, eat it twice a day love it. All I can say is it is a good thing there is not a frozen custard shop in Rome.
I have kind of a goldilocks thing going on when it comes to gelato. The weather can't be too hot or too cold. I prefer super creamy, clean flavors (have you had gelato made from buffalo milk?) over icier fruitier ones. On one of the first real warm summer days I spent the afternoon at Gunther Rohegger's gelato shop just behind the Pantheon tasting twenty five (yes, you read that correctly 25) different gelato flavors.
Last weekend I had a long weekend lunch at a casual Roman osteria in a picture perfect piazza across the river in Trastevere. It is kind of a long story how we ended up there.
Rome has been a place for artists for centuries. It is easy to see why. The light is like a movie set, the architecture ranges from ancient to baroque to modern. Beauty is easy to find. A few sunny Sundays ago I spent the afternoon watching micro mosaicist Megan Mahan work.
Megan, a New England native who has lived in Rome long enough to be a local, creates beautiful jewelry and art out of impossibly tiny pieces of glass. She learned her techniques from a master mosaicist at the Vatican Mosaic Studio and in addition to micro mosaic jewelry she has also done restoration work and created large scale original works for interiors. But I was here for the jewelry.
Did you know that there is an island in Rome. Right there in the center of the city, at a bend in the river is the Isola Tiberina. Measuring less than 300 meters long it is mainly known as the home to Rome's most central hospital, Fatebenefratelli, and as a spot to sunbathe on a warm spring day. I often make my way to my yoga studio in Trastevere this way, passing the 10th century Basilica di San Bartolomeo all'Isola and crossing the Ponte Fabrico, which is Rome's oldest intact bridge (built in 62 BC!) but I never think to stop. The newish Tiberino was transformed from an old fashioned bar to a chic bistro last summer and I had been meaning to try it but kind of kept forgetting about it. Saskia heading back to Amsterdam after a few weeks in Rome was the impetus I needed.


This blog post is a follow-up to yesterday's post: Security alert: pipdig insecure, DDoSing competitors.
Unfortunately, a lot of my entry (which was aimed at a more technical audience) was not easily understood by bloggers. My apologies first and foremost; it's been a long time since I've written anything technical aimed at a non-tech audience and I'm out of practice at breaking this stuff down. Please bear with me while I attempt to do so now!
I use a pipdig Blogger theme, am I affected?
No, this only affects WordPress users.
I am now recommending that all pipdig users, regardless of their platform, move away from pipdig at the earliest possible convenience.
UPDATE 2019-04-02 20:10: In light of new evidence from Wordfence I categorically recommend that ALL pipdig users should distance themselves from the company as soon as possible.
What is a DDoS and why should I be bothered?
A DDos (Distributed Denial of Service) is a type of computer attack that uses multiple compromised systems to overwhelm a single 'victim' system with the intent to bring down that system. In this case, pipdig placed code in their p3 power pack plugin which used their customer's hosting (their servers) to attack a single competitor (the victim). You, the pipdig customer, are the compromised system.
Imagine standing in the middle of an empty room. Suddenly, thousands of people come into that room all at once and start shouting HELLO at you. Your brain wouldn't be able to cope with all the simultaneous requests and you would shut down; the same applies in this case to the victim's server.
You should be bothered because it is not only morally and ethically a massive shitshow, but is also very illegal.
What's this kill switch/DROP TABLES thing?
The pipdig plugin contained code that could remotely remove all of your database tables. The database is where all of your blog information is stored: your blog posts, blog comments, pages, settings, widget contents, any tweaks you've made via the Customiser, etc. Executing this code would wipe your entire blog and unless you had a recent back-up (which most bloggers don't) you'd have to start again.
Does your previous blog entry cover everything?
No. There were some elements of the code that I didn't cover because the post was already 2000 words long. There's a file that was returning multiple blog migration competitors that I was yet to discover the meaning behind. There is code that disables a competitor host's cache to slow their servers down (hat tip: mama geek for spotting this one) I have multiple versions to get through and I've not discovered everything yet.
I am a pipdig hosting customer, does this affect me?
The technical aspects of this do not currently impact upon pipdig customers. There was code in place to bypass all of the malicious bits for these customers. However, you have to ask yourself: do I trust my data with a company that knowingly and deliberately sabotaged competitors and compromised blogger's sites?
I am a pipdig theme customer, what do I do now?
Do you have a vendetta or personal thing against pipdig?
No. I have no experience of pipdig, nor do I believe I've ever dealt with any of their staff or coding prior to this week. My sole interest is to ensure the ongoing safety of other bloggers. This isn't a new thing, I've been campaigning against bad coding and security issues since 2004. I have been quoted in technical publications for previous work in this area. I'm not just a numpty with an axe to grind.
You shouldn't. I'm a nobody as far as you're concerned. However, a huge range of developers from a broad range of technical backgrounds have verified my findings. Wordfence, one of the biggest providers of WordPress security products, independently found the same technical and security issues with pipdig code.
My recommendation is to remove the pipdig p3 power pack plugin, remove any pipdig themes and activate a free theme (even if it's just the standard twenty nineteen, until you find one you like). While pipdig released an update removing the malicious code after Wordfence contacted them about their findings, there's nothing to stop them from rolling this out again in future.
Are you sure this isn't some developmental accident added in recently?
Yes. I have 7 previous versions of the power pack plugin dating as far back as 2017, as well as the version I based yesterday's post on, and they all contain either all or parts of the malicious code in question.
Why would pipdig do this to their customers?
pipdig made some half-arsed claim to wordfence that it was related to plugin/license theft and controlling that. While this is at least tenuously feasible, deleting the entire blog of someone because they failed to cough up £30 for a WordPress theme is inexcusable.
OK, not strictly a question. I am aware that pipdig have released a statement claiming that I am lying. Firstly, this statement only serves to attempt to attack my character rather than dispute any of my accusations. Secondly, it addresses only my post, and none of the accusations made by Wordfence or other developers. I can only assume they think that because I'm "just a blogger" I am the easiest target. They are really very wrong.
It's definitely not slander, because slander applies to the spoken word. It's also not libel, because I have evidence to back up my claims as well as the support of an entire industry also backing up my claims.
Why didn't you get in contact with pipdig before writing your post?
In normal development scenarios, where a security bug is found, it's absolutely imperative that the bug is disclosed to the software or code vendor to give them time to release a fix protecting their customers. In this case, because pipdig are the cause of the issue, this does not apply. I did not wish to give pipdig time to hide their wrongdoings, and I knew that the customers would be better protected by going public: forcing pipdig to fix the issue. This logic was proved as they'd already started to cover their tracks by the time I'd published my post; I had assumed at the time that they'd pick up on my traffic to their malicious files, but the evidence now suggests that Wordfence's contact tipped them off.
You were rude to me, why should I believe you?
Was I actually rude to you, or did I reply to a statement you made or question you asked in a forthright manner direct and to the point? Because I very much abide by a simple set of rules when it comes to conversation: say what I mean and mean what I say. Being upfront with you isn't rude.
But you called me an idiot!
OK, I was rude to you. But you probably were being an idiot.
Pop it in the comments, via email or in a DM and I'll answer it as soon as possible. Please bear in mind I have a young family and a business of my own to run, so this may not be straight away.
It looks like they want to take legal action, will you be putting together a P3 (lol) to show code examples responsible for the certain features?
I think this would seal the deal in many developers minds and get this story even more exposure.
As a professional security consultant, I have exposed a couple of companies publicly in the past that were engaging in questionable behaviour. Pipdig's response, and handling of this situation in general, is awful, and only compounds their guilt.
They have tried to attack your character, it looks like they may have threatened legal action, and they have attempted to cover their tracks.
From my previous encounters in similar situations this is typical of companies that care very little about their customers, their product's quality, or the community in general.
Even if you're thick skinned, which it seems that you are, I know it does get to you, even if it's just a little bit. But, you did nothing wrong, no matter how much they try to make you think you might have. They are the ones in the wrong.
And don't worry about the legal action, I've had these threats in the past, and it never went further than empty threats. This is the only way they can retaliate after you exposed them for what they are.
Thank you for your support – I appreciate it.
As a blogger, I just want to say a HUGE thank you for looking into this and your comprehensive posts. I've taken your advice on board and disabled the P3 plug-in and installed a placeholder theme. I'm so disappointed as he preyed on bloggers who may not necessarily have the technical skills or knowhow to spot this. I only installed my theme with them in Feb so it feels like a huge betrayal as well as a waste of money…but I'd rather know and keep myself (and others) safe so thank you.

"Poblats Marítims, a historic coastal neighbourhood located only 15 minutes from the centre of Valencia, brings together the essence of the city and serves as a home to people from all walks of life. I began my day enjoying the village, and it's blue and green tile facades as I walked to Mercado del Cabanyal for fresh agricultural produce. Then, I experimented with the mid-day tradition of a vermouth, and I must say doing it at Casa Montaña while savouring top quality tapas was a great idea. Afterwards, I checked out the museum Museo del Arroz, a renovated ancient mill that showcased industrialisation in traditional Valencian farming. And who can forget the beaches, Las Arenas, la Malvarrosa and la Patacona, once frequented by vacationing Valencian elites. An exquisite dinner at the Seaport concludes my tour to the all-embracing Poblats Marítims."
Valencia is home to over 40 museums, showcasing everything from Concha Piquer to Silence (in the General Cemetery).
Shopping in Valencia is a true joy, with everything from luxurious paintings and figurines to unexpectedly cheap handmade gifts and rare books available.
Valencia is a city where different societies have blended together, making it one of Spain's greatest symbols of cultural richness.

I procrastinated writing last week's post, and so I'm gonna try to do a mashup of both weeks so far in one post. LOL Now that that disclaimer is out of the way…Just enjoy!
This is September, and I decided to do something for myself this month. One of the things I decided to do was to buy myself a new set of jeans, a couple shirts, a belt and a set of shoes. Why is that important? Well it isn't… except I don't buy clothes. I hardly do anything for myself like buy new clothes or anything like that. That being said, I decided that this month I'd focus on myself for a change. But buying clothes isn't the real reason for this post. I also decided to support my friends in 2 Mile Hill (formerly called NexCyx) – a Barbadian band that has international appeal, amassing accolades from all over the world, sharing stages with stars like Wyclef Jean, Damien Marley and Sizzla, among others. They have gotten several awards including MTV, RyanSeacrest.com and Moet Hennessy. To find out more about them, check their website out at www.2milehill.com.
On Sunday, September 4th, Mahalia's Corner premiered its sixth season. Mahalia's Corner is part show, part open mic, which has the goal of being a safe space for new artists to get their feet wet performing to an audience. The band, led by their awesome lead vocalist Mahalia Cummins, starts with a few songs in the first set, which is followed by an open mic segment and then by a featured artist. Last season Mahalia's Corner introduced a new segment, the Spotlight Artist.
The open mic session was AMAZING. I was totally blown away once again by the talent that Barbados contains.
The points of note for me for the first show were the spotlight artist and the featured artist, though. The Spotlight artist was a 16 year old bombshell named Jaeesha. She said she was nervous – but no nerves came out when she started to sing. All I could say was WOW!!!!!!!! That girl's voice is POWERFUL! Joaquin blew away the crowd with his set. I only knew about him at the Sweet Soca Finals here in Barbados, but he is a full entertainer! I'm so glad I was able to witness it.
But the highlight of the night was the featured artist, Buggy Nhakente. Buggy is a reggae artist that has taken his uplifting music from Barbados all the way to Qatar!
His set was ASTOUNDING! I followed Buggy's career from school days – we were in the same class in secondary school (St Michael School to the WORLD!) – and I am completely enthralled with his music, stage presence, everything!
I can't wait to see Iron Pipe and Marvay in episode three!
All images off of Mahalia's Corner Facebook page and all credit goes to the respective photographers – Amery Butcher and Nicholas McGeary.
Live Passionately – Passion enjoying Buggy's performance!

Isis reports record proof-of-concept investment
Over twenty new Oxford technologies and ventures received a record £2.6m in proof-of-concept funding in 2014, Isis Innovation has reported.
The funding came from three seed funds, and boosted fifteen new companies. These include:
stroke-diagnostics specialist Brainomix which successfully raised £1.2m and won awards and grants including Innovate UK, Horizon 2020 and an Academic Enterprise ICT Award
OxBotica, which is at the forefront of robotics and autonomous systems;
First Light Fusion, spun out with seed funding from IP Group, Parkwalk Advisors and angel investors, and developing a radical new approach for generating energy from fusion.
Perspectum Diagnostics, developing scanning technology to detect cancer and pre-cancerous liver disease, and currently running trials in Edinburgh and Birmingham.
In November, seed fund investee and Isis Innovation spin-out Genomics Ltd raised £10.3 million from Invesco Perpetual, Lansdowne Partners, Woodford Investment Management and the Wylie Family Trust, as well as existing shareholders including IP Group and the University of Oxford. Genomics is developing an analytical platform for genomic sequence data analysis.
The University of Oxford Isis Fund II – an Enterprise Investment Scheme Fund managed by Parkwalk Advisors with Isis acting as Portfolio Advisor – is now fast approaching its target close. It follows on from the success of the University of Oxford Isis Fund I which raised and invested more than its target £1.25m in 2014.
"We have again seen huge interest from investors in the University of Oxford Isis Fund II, both because of the high quality pipeline of spin-outs from Oxford and of course the excellence of its research, reflected in the recent REF result," said Parkwalk's Moray Wright.
Andrea Alunni, Isis Innovation Seed Investment Manager said: "By all measures 2014 was an outstanding year in which we set up fifteen new companies: nine spinouts and six startups from our Isis Software Incubator.
"The biggest seed fund investments were in OxBotica, which is working at the forefront of robotics and autonomous systems, and our very exciting flexible display technology from the Department of Materials, with applications in 'smart' glasses, synthetic retinas, and foldable screens.
"And although spin-outs are the most visible of the years' successes, a large portion of this seed funding has gone to technologies which will be taken forward by our licensees, existing companies, many of them local and leaders in their fields."
Isis Innovation Executive Director Linda Naylor said: "An enormous amount of hard graft, skill and creativity goes into each successful technology, and each fledgling company. Being able to provide finance to propel new companies towards their goals and towards further investment is a critical part of Isis Innovation's mission for the University of Oxford.
"Successes such as the acquisition of Isis spin-out NaturalMotion by Zynga for $527m have refreshed our seed funds. It's also been great to see the groundswell of enthusiasm for UK technology from the investor community, and the confidence that early investments will pay off in the long term."
Isis currently manages two seed funds on behalf of the University, the University Challenge Seed Fund and the Oxford Invention Fund, which is open to corporate and philanthropic donors. Parkwalk manage The University of Oxford Isis Funds, EIS Funds offering alumni, friends and supporters of the University the opportunity to invest in Oxford spin-outs in a tax efficient manner.

Q: In windowManager only the last added View can click or do other operators My code:
    public void setAboveButton() {
        aboveButton = new TextView(mContext);
        ColorDrawable cd = new ColorDrawable(Color.GRAY);
        aboveButton.setBackground(cd);
        aboveButton.setText("<回游戏");
        aboveButton.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        aboveButton.setTextSize(25);
        aboveButton.setClickable(isClickable());
        aboveButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                instance.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                aboveView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                buttomView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                aboveButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                buttomButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            }

        });
        android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams viewParams = new android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams();
        viewParams.x = -(dm.widthPixels);
        viewParams.y = -(dm.heightPixels);
        viewParams.width = dm.widthPixels / 4;
        viewParams.height = 120;
        instance.mWindowManager.addView(aboveButton, viewParams);
    }
public void setBottomButton() {
        buttomButton = new TextView(mContext);
        ColorDrawable cd = new ColorDrawable(Color.GRAY);
        buttomButton.setBackground(cd);
        buttomButton.setText("发送");
        buttomButton.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        buttomButton.setTextSize(25);
        buttomButton.setClickable(isClickable());
        buttomButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        viewParams.x = -(dm.widthPixels);
        viewParams.y = dm.heightPixels;
        viewParams.width = dm.widthPixels / 4;
        viewParams.height = 120;
        instance.mWindowManager.addView(buttomButton, viewParams);
    }

and my MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            //Remove title bar
            this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
            //Remove notification bar
            this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            NoticeBoard.init(MainActivity.this);
            NoticeBoard.getInstance().setAboveView();
            NoticeBoard.getInstance().setBottomView();
            NoticeBoard.getInstance().setBottomButton();
            NoticeBoard.getInstance().setAboveButton();
            setContentView(NoticeBoard.getInstance());
        }

    }

Right now, only the last onClick set works. How can I make them work together?
if I change the NoticeBoard.getInstance().setAboveButton() to bottom in the mainActivity,aboveButton's onclick will work,if I change the NoticeBoard.getInstance().setButtomButton() to bottom in mainActivity,bottomButton's onclick will work.
Thanks for your help!

A: I solve my problem. add flag'WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE' to WindowManager.LayoutParams in every view,and then all view will be worked~

Q: Executing JavaScript in an Ajax Response I have an ajax form process. But I do this process when I click a function. When I click it opens a PHP Form in a Jquery Dialog. But When I process the form the POST VARs are NULL.
This is the code:
The main file with the function to request the form:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

 <?php
    require_once('../../config.php');

$query = "SELECT * FROM aircrafts ORDER BY ICAO ASC LIMIT";

$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result)
{
die (mysql_error());
}

echo "
";
echo "
ICAO	Edit
";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
    if($i++%2==0){
       $color="#FFFFFF";
    }else{
       $color="#CCCCCC";
    }

    ?>

    <tr bgcolor='<?php echo $color; ?>' onmouseover="this.style.background='#ABFB04';" onmouseout="this.style.background='<?php echo $color; ?>';">
    <?php

echo "";

echo $row["ICAO"] . '	';

echo "	";

}

echo "

mysql_close();
    ?>

The file with the AJAX form process and the PHP form:
<?php
require_once ('../../config.php');
$icao = $_GET["icao"];

$query = "SELECT * FROM aircrafts WHERE ICAO = '$icao'";

$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result)
{

?>
<form action="javascript:editForm();" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){

echo '

}
echo "

?>

</form>

When I execute the editForm, works and put the result of the process in the
 fine. But, the vars that send to edit in the database (for example icao) are NULL and it edit nothing.
I think the error is because after ajax request it can´t do the document.getElementById.

A: Well, not sure what the exact problem is but on quickly checking your code here's 2 things:

*

*You are not properly closing the input tags eg:
 echo '
ICAO:	<input type="text" id="icao" name="icao" size="30" value=';
echo $row["ICAO"] . "/>
";// <--- notice the added forward slash to close the input

*you are not surrounding the value attribute with "":
 echo '
ICAO:	<input type="text" id="icao" name="icao" size="30" value="'; //<-- open here
echo $row["ICAO"] . '"/>
'; //<--- notice the closing "

A: In XML, fragment identifiers are of type ID, and there can only be a single attribute of type ID per element. Therefore, in XHTML 1.0 the id attribute is defined to be of type ID. In order to ensure that XHTML 1.0 documents are well-structured XML documents.
in this case you are Loop the data into same input id. Change your code into this :
var i = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){

echo '
ICAO:	<input type="text" id="icao_' . i . '" name="icao" size="30" value="';
echo $row["ICAO"] . '">
"';

echo '
Name:	<input type="text" id="name_' . i . '" name="name" size="30" value="';
echo $row["Name"] . '">
"';

echo '
Weight Empty:	<input type="text" id="weightempty_' . i . '" name="weightempty" size="30" value="';
echo $row["WeightEmpty"] . '">
"';

echo '
Weight Full:	<input type="text" id="weightfull_' . i . '" name="weightfull" size="30" value="';
echo $row["WeightFull"] . '">
"';

echo '
Cargo Full:	<input type="text" id="cargofull_' . i . '" name="cargofull" size="30" value="';
echo $row["CargoFull"] . '">
"';

echo '
Cruise Speed:	<input type="text" id="cruisespeed_' . i . '" name="cruisespeed" size="30" value="';
echo $row["CruiseSpeed"] . '">
"';

echo '
Range:	<input type="text" id="range_' . i . '" name="range" size="30" value="';
echo $row["Range"] . '">
"';

echo '
Price:	<input type="text" id="price_' . i . '" name="price" size="30" value="';
echo $row["Price"] . '">
"';

if($row["FirstClassSeats"] != NULL && $row["FirstClassSeats"] != 0){
echo '
First Class Seats:	<input type="text" id="firstclassseats_' . i . '" name="firstclassseats" size="30" value="';
echo $row["FirstClassSeats"] . '">
"';}

if($row["BusinessClassSeats"] != NULL && $row["BusinessClassSeats"] != 0){
echo '
Business Class Seats:	<input type="text" id="businessclassseats_' . i . '" name="businessclassseats" size="30" value="';
echo $row["BusinessClassSeats"] . '">
"';}

if($row["EconomyClassSeats"] != NULL && $row["EconomyClassSeats"] != 0){
echo '
Economy Class Seats:	<input type="text" id="economyclassseats_' . i . '" name="economyclassseats" size="30" value="';
echo $row["EconomyClassSeats"] . '">
"';}

echo '
<input id="editaircraft_' . i . '" type="submit" value="Edit Aircraft">
';
i++;
}

Then you can send the data by using jquery serialize
Change this :
ajax.send("icao="+icao+"&name="+name+"&weightempty="+weightempty+"&weightfull="+weightfull+"&cargofull="+cargofull+"&cruisespeed="+cruisespeed+"&range="+range+"&price="+price+"&firstclassseats="+firstclassseats+"&businessclassseats="+businessclassseats+"&economyclassseats="+economyclassseats);

into this:
ajax.send($("form").serialize());

Dear Franusia!
I received your letter an hour ago and you can only imagine what it meant for me. I felt, deep in my soul, that maybe it was you. I am alone, in Paris now, living here for over half a year since American soldiers found me dying in Buchenwald and thinking that I was French, sent me to Paris.
Those words form the first paragraph of the first letter my father sent my mother after learning through a small newspaper ad that she was looking for him. She had been taken to Brussels after surviving a death march from Auschwitz to Ravensbrück and within six months began looking for family and for the man who stole her heart.
Their reunion in January 1946 was the beginning of a powerful love story, albeit one that was tested and challenged by the chaos in the American immigration system directly after World War II. His letter is but one of dozens between them included in Sweet Noise: Love in Wartime, my book about their lives before, during and after the Holocaust.
Hotel Lutetia
On April 11,1945 my father was in a hole in the floor of a latrine at Buchenwald when an American soldier (the first black man he had ever seen) kicked him to see if he was alive. Weighing only 95lbs, he cried out in French and so was mistakenly taken to Paris with 114 French survivors. Those men were housed at the Hotel Lutetia at the corner of Boulevard Raspail and Rue de Sèvres in the heart of Saint-German-des-Prés where today the nightly rates start at $800. Though Polish by birth, he chose to remain in as a Frenchman thinking that he might more easily recover life in the country where he had gone to university.
In 1985 this plaque was permanently affixed to the building to commemorate this moment in history.
This is just one small moment from the hundreds that are revealed in Sweet Noise: Love in Wartime, my book about my parents' lives before, during, and after the Holocaust. A huge heartfelt thanks to all who have pledged, and please share this Kickstarter link with friends and family. http://kck.st/2UYTmfy
Radom Cemetery
In 1938, 80,000 people lived in Radom, Poland—45% were Jewish. After a ghetto was formed in March, 1941, most of those people were systematically transported to the extermination camp at Treblinka.
As in many cities and towns in Poland, the gravestones from the Jewish cemetery were removed by Nazi forces and used to pave sidewalks and streets. When my mother and I visited in 1993, some of those markers had been returned to the cemetery and stacked up in the center like a defiant wall.
The space was vast, acre after acre of weeds and wildflowers sitting motionless under a lowering sky. Images of Nazi soldiers, assigned to the desecration of the cemetery, filled my mind. I saw them fired up, cursing the Jews and urinating on the peaceful site of my grandfather's grave.
This image is one of more than forty in my book, Sweet Noise: Love in Wartime, my parents' poignant love story told against the backdrop of the Holocaust. Please consider supporting my Kickstarter for the book. http://kck.st/2UYTmfy

Norwegian officials are rushing to locate cruise liner travelers after dozens in recent cruisings tested positive for the coronavirus
Norwegian authorities are working to call guests who traveled on two Arctic cruises after dozens of people– mostly staff– have actually tested favorable.
A minimum of 36 staff members have checked positive, according to a Reuters report, in addition to at least four travelers from the 2 different trips.
Officials said "messages have been sent out to all the travelers," though they're attempting to "confirm that the information has been gotten and understood."
In June, Hurtigruten, the Norway-based luxury cruise liner, became the first to start sailings amidst the coronavirus pandemic after it stopped briefly sailings for 3 months, according to the report.
The cruise industry has actually taken a considerable monetary hit throughout the pandemic and has actually been mainly placed on time out after outbreaks on ships early on during the pandemic.
Norweigan authorities are rushing to call passengers from a high-end cruise liner after dozens of guests and team members have tested favorable for the coronavirus as part of two Arctic cruisings aboard a Hurtigruten cruise line ship, Reuters reported.
According to the report, the Norway-based Hurtigruten cruise line in June became the first cruise line to started sailing again amid the coronavirus pandemic following a three-month time out. On July 31, four team members on the MS Roald Amundsen were hospitalized when the ship docked at the port of Tromsoe in Norway, according to the report.
Later tests discovered that at least 36 of the 158 team members on board had actually contracted the virus, consisting of the 4 who needed hospitalization. 4 passengers in between the 2 July sailings– the first of which set sail on July 17– have also tested favorable for the coronavirus, authorities said. In total, there were 387 passengers in between the two cruises, according to the report.
" Messages have actually been sent to all the guests," a representative for the Norwegian Institute of Public Health said, according to Reuters. "We're now looking for to validate that the info has actually been received and comprehended."
The travelling industry has been one of the hardest-hit markets by the coronavirus pandemic. In the US, the Centers for Illness Control and Avoidance has actually prohibited cruisings from United States ports through at least September, which sent out cruise market stocks further downward.
In February, passengers on the Diamond Princess cruise ship were quarantined after 10 guests had actually evaluated favorable for the novel coronavirus.
Hurtigruten operates the MS Roald Amundsen and 15 other ships, according to Reuters.
Filling Something is packing.

La Junta Tribune
The La Junta Tribune of La Junta, Colorado, began publication in 1881 or 1882. The exact date is unknown, as the only remaining copy of its first issue has long since disappeared. The founder of the paper, J.C. Denny, besides being the proprietor and editor, was also the station agent, telegraph operator, attorney-at-law, and the first mayor of the small railroad town situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines in Otero County. Denny began publishing the weeklyTribune on an old army printing press in a former Santa Fe Railroad freight depot. The paper was briefly suspended in 1882, but by 1883 it was being published by Editor Nelson H. Bowman. The latter took charge of the Tribune at the insistence of T.J. Hickman and J.C. Jones, who held the mortgage on the paper, for the purpose of boosting Hickman and his friends into political office. Bowman expanded the Tribune's plant and continued as publisher until 1886.
In that year, G.D. Phillips purchased the paper, material, and subscription list for $1200. Boosterism was the tone of the Tribune under Phillips, who "never missed an opportunity to set forth the natural advantages of the Arkansas valley, its fertile soil, irrigation resources, abundant sunshine and pure air...and its comparative freedom from destructive storms and cyclones." In April 1887, the paper was sold to A.J. Johnson and W.S. English, but by June 1888, Phillips repurchased his interest from Johnson and Phillips and English acted as co-editors. Throughout the early 1890s, ownership and editorship of the Tribune transferred back and forth between Phillips, English, George S. Thomson, and J. F. Thompson. In December 1894, A.T. Hunt purchased the paper, later selling it to C.D. Parks. Frederick Bane Mason purchased an interest in the Tribune, and for a time the paper published under the name of Parks & Mason. Parks sold his share to H.L. Brown, after which paper was published under Brown & Mason. About the many managerial changes, the paper noted "there seems to have been an inclination on the part of the Tribune's editors to seek more congenial climes or occupations. In fact there were times when they came and went with a facility almost equalling some of our western 'boom towns.'" Frederick Banes Mason, however, remained editor and proprietor (having bought out Brown in 1900) until his death in 1928.
From its beginning, Tribune supported Republican politics and politicians, both local and national, and was an ardent proponent of female suffrage in Colorado, which was legislated in 1893. The Tribune's first editor, J.C. Denny, noted that paper was kept alive by the patronage of the railroad boys and stockbrands. Early on, the Tribune enjoyed considerable financial support from the livestock industry, publishing a brand book and map and obtaining associated advertising revenue. However, because the Tribune advocated for the building of irrigation ditches and supported homesteading in general, which led to the tearing down of ranchers' wire fences, the stockmen retaliated by taking their brands out of the paper and cutting the Tribune from their lists. The struggling newspaper was only kept afloat by deals involving political endorsements and individual donations.
By the time J.F. Thompson took over as editor, the Tribune was in severe financial straits. The enterprising Thompson rode out to an impressive ranch intending to write up the spread for the Tribune. The owner happily accommodated Thompson's request and displayed his ranch and stock. A lengthy article appeared in the next issue of the paper, describing the ranch in glowing terms. Colorado Newspapers: A History & Inventory, 1859-2000 (Jane C. Harper, Craig W. Leavitt, and Thomas J. Noel) mentions that Thompson subsequently mailed the rancher a copy of the article along with a bill for $250, which the rancher gratefully paid. The La Junta Tribune continued until 1938 when it merged with La Junta Daily Democrat. In 1944, the paper was renamed the La Junta Tribune-Democrat.

Robert Gates, America's Unlikely Gay-Rights Hero
The former secretary of defense lobbied for the repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell," and has now ended the Boy Scouts' ban on gay scoutmasters.
By David A. Graham
Mark Zaleski / AP
Eagle Scout. Young Republican. CIA recruit. Air Force officer. CIA director. Secretary of defense.
It's not the resume of a radical civil-rights campaigner, but Robert Gates has now integrated two of the great bastions of macho American traditional morality—first the U.S. armed forces, and now the Boy Scouts of America. In both cases, Gates pursued a careful, gradual strategy, one that wasn't fast enough for activists. In both cases, he was careful to take the temperature of constituents. And in both cases, once he was ready to act, he did so decisively. In the end what seemed to matter most was not Gates's personal feelings but his determination to safeguard institutions he cared about and his deft skills as a bureaucratic operator.
Before the Obama administration began moving to eliminate the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy there was barely any indication of Gates's views on LBGT issues—though not none. In 1991, while director of central intelligence, Gates ordered an inquiry into whether CIA personnel had ever been blackmailed into espionage because they were gay. When he found no cases, he ended the practice of asking employees about their sexual orientation as part of polygraph tests. From 2002 until he took over the Pentagon in 2006, Gates was president of Texas A&M University, a famously culturally conservative school. (In 1984, students sued, successfully, to force the school to recognize a gay-student organization; the ruling effectively removed all legal prohibitions on LGBT student groups nationwide.) At A&M, Gates worked to improve student diversity overall—including racial minorities and LGBT students—and appointed the school's first administrator specifically in charge of diversity.

Given the rapid advance of gay rights over the last decade, it's tough to remember just how different the stage was in 2006, when Gates replaced Donald Rumsfeld as defense secretary. "Don't ask, don't tell" had had plenty of critics since it was enacted in 1994—President Bill Clinton himself would have preferred simply opening the military to gay servicemembers—but it was still firmly in place. The Bush administration was not interested in lifting the ban, and Gates took a cautious approach. He repeatedly told reporters that he was not reviewing or reconsidering the policy.
When, several months into his tenure, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace, said that "homosexual acts between individuals are immoral," Gates tried to avoid discussing the comments, and said of DADT, "As long as the law is what it is, that's what we'll do." (Pace, who retired in September 2007, reiterated his personal opposition to homosexuality during an exit hearing with Congress, but also endorsed gay service in the military.) When, two months later, the military ejected 58 desperately needed Arabic linguists because they were gay, Gates still said the policy wasn't under review.
Even after President Obama was elected and Gates accepted an offer to stay on as secretary, he remained cautious. Though the president pledged to repeal DADT during his first State of the Union, Gates expressed a preference in March 2009 to "push that one down the road a little bit," infuriating gay activists. Yet in June, he was clearly expecting the policy to end and was exploring whether "there's a more humane way to apply the law until it gets changed." A similar pattern held in 2010, as Gates warned Congress not to repeal DADT before he had a policy in place for the aftermath and insisted courts not make the decision. He also issued a survey on gays to servicemembers, a step that LGBT activists, who saw it as putting civil rights to a vote, disagreed with. Yet there Gates was in the fall, saying DADT's demise was "inevitable" and testifying to Congress in favor of repeal—before the courts did it. (And that survey? It turned out the troops were totally fine with LGBT comrades.)
Once DADT was repealed, Gates moved quickly to enforce discipline and get the change implemented in the military, and shot down any hopes that soldiers, sailors, and marines who disagreed with the policy could leave their commitments early.
Gates's push for the end of DADT never relied on the soaring rhetoric of rights and justice that people like Obama used. Gates spoke with the dry, careful language of a bureaucrat, speaking in terms of unit cohesion, military readiness, and obstacle recognition. When he indulged emotion, it was to praise soldiers risking their lives—the same language a defense secretary would use for straight soldiers. The decision was more than anything a triumph of pragmatism. Gates carefully studied the effects repeal would have on the military and decided the downsides were minimal; and he looked at the way the country was changing and realized that the policy would have to end soon, and that he wanted it to end on the Pentagon's terms to ensure the military's stability and long-term health.
The DADT fight offers a template for the opening to gay scoutmasters. Gates had expressed tempered sympathy for gays in scouting as far back as 1993, when he told Wichita Rotarians, "Values central to Scouting are under challenge today as never before: challenges to our belief in God, challenges from Americans who are gay. Scouting must teach tolerance and respect for the dignity and worth of every individual person, certainly including gays."
The Boy Scouts had already begun to dismantle some of their anti-gay policies when Gates was elected president in late 2013. A lopsided vote in May 2013 ended a ban on gay scouts but kept prohibitions on gay scout leaders and volunteers in place. Just as he had at Defense, Gates initially took a carefully diplomatic position. "I was prepared to go further than the decision that was made," Gates said in May 2014. "I would have supported having gay Scoutmasters, but at the same time, I fully accept the decision that was democratically arrived at by 1,500 volunteers from across the entire country." He said he wouldn't reopen the decision during his term as president.
At some point in the last year, he had a change of heart.
The shift seems to reflect much the same calculus that guided Gates through the DADT decision. At the Pentagon, he had first avoided discussing repeal because it seemed too likely to create institutional instability; but once he decided that the writing was on the wall and that refusing to change was the greater risk to the organization, he moved swiftly and effectively to impose his new will. The point was to guarantee institutional survival.
In May 2015, one year after saying he wouldn't reopen the issue of gay scoutmasters, Gates did just that. In short, he decided once again that if the institution he led didn't change its policies now, a judge was likely to force it to do so later.
"I truly fear that any other alternative will be the end of us as a national movement."
"The status quo in our movement's membership standards cannot be sustained," he said. "Between internal challenges and potential legal conflicts, the BSA finds itself in an unsustainable position, a position that makes us vulnerable to the possibility the courts simply will order us at some point to change our membership policy."
Gates warned that a court order would disarm the Boy Scouts' ability to act of their own volition, and suggested that doing anything besides opening would be an existential threat.
"I truly fear that any other alternative will be the end of us as a national movement," he said.
Monday evening, Gates got his wish, as the BSA's 80-member board voted to approve the change. (A smaller executive committee had already approved it.) The new policy may not satisfy everyone. Traditionalists are upset about the move, while progressives feel it doesn't go far enough—troops that are chartered by churches and other religious organizations would still be permitted to set their own standards. Regardless, the policy marks a serious shift for BSA, and it cements Robert Gates's place in history: as one of the least likely but most successful proponents for gay equality in institutional America.

Man verbally attacks Apostle Johnson Suleiman as he preached in a church in Canada
According to the video making way on the internet, a man verbally attacking the general overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleiman during service in a packed church in Canada.
In the video, the man is seen accusing Apostle Johnson Suleman of being an evil man and a fake prophet.
As the service was underway, the man stood, raised his voice, and began to attack a man believed to be Suleiman as he preached during a convention last week in Ottawa, Canada.
He said: "Suleiman, God's gonna strike you down. You need to repent. You're a fake man of God. You are a fake man of God and you know. You guys know. God's gonna strike you down."
Church security and ushers rushed to drag the man out of the church but he kept struggling, threatening, and cursing out Suleiman. At some point, the man threatened to call the police on the men who were dragging him out for disrupting the service.

A Nigerian petty trader Mrs Kuditat Ajayi, 52, told an Igando Customary Court that she slept with her brother-in-law because she thought he was her husband.
Ajayi's husband, Akande, is seeking the dissolution of their 35-year-old marriage, accusing her of infidelity.
"I was in bed in the night when my husband's younger brother came to the house my husband rented for me.
"I thought it was my husband who normally come to the house at that particular time between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. to play and sleep with me.
"It was after he finished making love to me that I realised that he was not my husband.
"When I queried him, he claimed that my husband had traveled that was why he came to have sex with me.
"I reported the case to my brother's wife, who advised me not to tell my brother so that peace can reign in the family."
The respondent said that her husband treats the children of the other wives better than hers.
The mother of four denied being fetish as claimed by husband.
Ajayi prayed the court not to grant her husband's wish for the dissolution of their marriage that she still love him.
The petitioner, Akande, approached the court to terminate his 35-year-old marriage accusing wife of infidelity.
He said that his wife was wayward and adulterous that her man friend was claiming paternity of one of their children.
"When I married her, I rented an apartment for her because I have other wives and I don't want them to live together.
"I started hearing from people in the area that my wife was having affair with a man, initially I ignored it until her lover came claiming ownership of one of my children.
"The man eventually came to the house but I refused to open the door for him.
"When I questioned my wife, she confessed that the man slept with her but it did not result in pregnancy."
The 71-year-old businessman said that his wife was fetish.
"I once caught her burying something in my compound, I accosted her and tried to remove what she buried there but I could not.
"I went out before I returned, she had cemented the place."
He begged the court to end the marriage that he was no longer interested that the love he once had for her had faded.
The president of the court, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, urged the two parties to maintain peace and adjourned the case until Aug.22 for judgment

Ishant Sharma called Daren Sammy 'k****' in a 2014 Instagram post
by Wisden Staff June 9, 2020 - 9:20am 2 minute read
A 2014 Instagram post from Ishant Sharma has surfaced where the Indian speedster refers to his then-Sunrisers Hyderabad teammate Daren Sammy as 'k****'.
Sammy recently hit out at his former SRH teammates, claiming he and Thisara Perera were subjected to a racial slur during his time with the IPL franchise, but they were oblivious to its meaning.
Sammy released a video statement after learning of the word's meaning, and asked his ex-teammates to come out and "clear the air".
"Knowledge is power. So recently I discovered a word that I was being called was not what it actually meant I need some answers," he said on Instagram. "So before I start calling out names I need these individuals to reach out and please tell me there's another meaning to that word and when I was being called it, it was all in love."
A post shared by daren (@darensammy88) on Jun 8, 2020 at 1:18pm PDT
Sammy had also urged the International Cricket Council to raise their voice against racism after protests over George Floyd's death in the USA gained strength as a worldwide movement.

Magazine printer Stephens & George invited customers to a historic central London cinema for a day of shared experiences and news that it would soon be able to wrap in paper for delivery.
Seven years ago magazine printer Stephens & George diversified into events organisation, or at least the Welsh magazine printer decided to put on a day-long conference, SGA Live.
That initial event has become a regular fixture on the magazine industry's calendar offering a day-long flow of ideas and inspiration to the company's customers and prospects. It works. One publisher told S&G managing director Andrew Jones that this event was more relevant than that organised by the PPA.
There is no attempt to sell the printers' capabilities to the audience, though one session did reveal that the company has started work on an extension to its pressroom. It has become somewhat cramped as it has come to standardise on long-perfecting Heidelberg Speedmaster XL106s with Cutstars.
The extra space will accommodate a new press before the end of the year as a replacement for one of the existing machines rather than substantial additional capacity. At least that is the idea.
Before then Stephens & George will become one of the first dedicated magazine printers to operate paper wrapping on one of its Sitma mailing lines. In a session billed as a conversation between paper industry consultant Matthew Valentine and S&G's technical manager Mike Donovan, details of the development emerged.
"Other companies have also been looking at conversion of their wrapping lines to move away from polywrap and the pressure to do so increased following television programmes last year," said Valentine.
It is a quite complicated change, not least because the reel of paper wrap must be cut and, instead of running across the line, has to change direction instantly to complete the package around the magazine. And that reel is more akin to the paper reels handled by the CutStars rather than the very much smaller reels of the plastic material. Depending on the weight of the paper, it could deliver enough paper to package up to 60,000 magazines.
Before making the decision, he and a team from the printer spent a day with Sitma running tests and checks on different papers and different formats of magazine. "After that we decided to invest," said Donovan.
The big gain comes with a much improved environmental story. But it will be a more expensive material and method of wrapping. It might also have an impact on postage costs as the paper will weigh more than the ultra thin plastic film.
It will be easier though to make the paper envelope more suitable for discounts under the Royal Mail's MailMark discount scheme because the qualifying barcode, allowing the package to be tracked to the door, is easier to print and read on the paper wrapper than on the polywrap version.
The paper used will tend to be recycled or an FSC stock. Tests showed that it is possible to use 45gsm though a 70gsm silk or matt finished substrate is more likely to be chosen. Ultimately this may be preprinted with an ad or promotional message before being delivered to Merthyr Tyfyll though until the company is comfortable with the plain paper version, it will not be handling preprinted reels. With an average print run around 6,000 copies, preprint could easily create a logistics nightmare. The reels used can be 1,250mm in diameter, enough for continuous running for six hours, five times longer than a reel of poly.
The technology is capable of wrapping a magazine to 25mm thick and 400mm long, far greater than a standard A4 product. Instead of heat sealing the paper needs to be glued. This uses the same PUR adhesive as the company uses for perfect binding.
During the tests a wide range of paper types and grammages was run including krafts. The fear was that waste might exceed a 3% level that was expected. "In fact we didn't get any waste at all," he added.
Consequently Stephens & George will begin the conversion this month with the aim of having it running before the end of May.
The economic argument is likely to be changed by the introduction of taxes on the use of plastics in packaging, though rising paper prices adds another layer of complexity. Valentine explained that paper costs are dependent on the costs and availability of pulp which can also be used to produce hygiene products, packaging and even fabrics.
Forest fibre companies will choose the more lucrative markets unlikely to be paper as paper consumption of three popular grades in the UK has fallen around 31-42% in the last decade. "And at the same time primary costs have risen dramatically," he adds.
While pulp is a world market, there is no new significant capacity coming before 2021. There might be a shortage in some papers before the end of the year with further price increases on the cards.
If that aspect was not what the audience from magazine publishers wanted to hear, the first presentation of the day was very much more encouraging. Consultant Chris O'Grady had looked at the advertising background to the magazine industry in a presentation titled The Revenge of the Analogue. In short, digital has not and will not destroy magazines, even if circulations globally have declined.
He quoted the editor of Empire magazine, saying "people love magazines, the touch, feel and even the smell of them". This engagement with the printed product delivers an endorsement to the advertising that the magazine's website continues, a kind of halo effect of trust, that gives the advertising greater value than that placed on Facebook or other social media channels where the ad can be placed alongside "some not so nice stuff".
He has pointed to the research which had been much quoted at the Power of Print seminar at the end of last year which, calling up the findings of numerous pieces of research, to show that advertising in magazines is more influential and has greater impact than ad agencies and brand managers believe.
The academic studies make magazines the third most influential channel, while the attitudinal research among ad buyers puts magazines in ninth position, behind digital media, outdoor and television.
The strength derives from the magazine and how it is enjoyed. "It gives the ability to target the right people at the right time," he said.
And as he had started off talking about the importance of looking up instead of being hunched over a mobile phone looking down. This is the action of the battery hen, kept inside and fed a drip feed diet that keeps them locked to the screen. In contrast the magazine is different. "The free range form of attention is the magazine," he said.
Invigorated that there was enough life in magazines to keep them employed (and Stephens & George in orders), sports psychologist Mark Francis delivered a short training session to uplift the most jaded ad sales rep.
Even though it was a far shorter session than most of the training he delivers, there was an impact, particularly when Stephens & George sales director Nick Pressling reminded his sales team about the messages of understanding the clients' issues and coming back with an upselling solution to this problem.
Two technology products were presented: the MagManager flatplanning application for putting a magazine together, integrating with accounts packages and shortly to be linked to InDesign to automatically populate templated pages with a PDF ad.
The other was Ownable, a start up which links a magazine page to a website for a reader to make a purchase. It solves the problem, says founder Craig Smith, of a reader having to put down a magazine, to search for a website and find the product, a process averaging 12 minutes.
Ownable applies a thumbnail graphic to a magazine page to bring the digital version of the page up on a phone and with products shown linked to a product page where a purchase can be made.
The app has been tested with two interior design magazines with an uplift in sales and providing the publisher with more than 100,000 data points about reader behaviour that he did not have before.
The business model is that Ownable will take a referral fee, shared with the publisher, for each product sold through the app. It is possible to link to video or other types of content as well as to a merchant page, Smith explained.
A pair of customers delivered their experiences, one a small magazine publisher, the other the organiser of the internationally renowned Hay Festival. One amounts to 50,000 copies across five editions each month, the other a programme for 250,000 attendees once a year.
The first was Stuart Oliphant, a self confessed control freak who had ended up running MKFlyer, a free delivery monthly magazine for Milton Keynes. Attempts to set up a sister title in Aylesbury had failed because of the difference in culture between a young forward looking and growing city and a traditional market town suspicious of change.
But the publication has been rebranded as YourLocalFlyer with the aim of spreading the concept wider.
The Hay Festival concept has already spread worldwide, earning its founder Peter Florence an MBE along the way. He brought the day to an end with a captivating presentation full of stories about the people who write books. That love for the printed word pulls in thousands to the town tucked in the hills with Wales on one side, England on the other.
It was a return to the presentation that started the day. Readers, of both magazines and books, love the products, the touch, feel, smell and feel a sense of ownership over them.
At SGA Live, consultant Chris O'Grady pondered whether we prefer to be battery fed or free range.

Ronald Koeman: Barcelona appoint former Everton and Southampton manager as Quique Setien's successor on two-year deal
By Josh Fordham
19th August 2020, 10:37 am
Updated: 19th August 2020, 10:39 am
Ronald Koeman has been appointed Barcelona manager, the LaLiga club announced on Wednesday morning.
Former boss Quique Setien was axed following Barca's humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last week.
The Catalan club have moved quickly to get the former Everton manager, who successfully represented them as player.
🙌 Welcome home, @RonaldKoeman!
💙❤ #KoemanCuler
— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) August 19, 2020
His appointment – joining from the Netherlands national team – was confirmed on Twitter as Barca posted: 'Welcome home, Ronald Koeman'.
Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu had earlier explained the reasons for hiring the Dutchman. "We bet on Koeman because of his experience. He was in the Dream Team, he believes in our philosophy."
Koeman spent six years as a player at the Nou Camp and scored the winning goal in the 1992 European Cup final against Sampdoria.
Sporting director Eric Abidal was also axed just a day after Setien as the club looks for an overhaul following a disappointing season.
"FC Barcelona and Eric Abidal have reached an agreement for the termination of the contract binding both parties," a Barca statement on Tuesday afternoon read.

Eric Abidal was sacked a day after Quique Setien
"The club publicly expresses its gratitude to Eric Abidal for the professionalism, commitment, dedication and positive and close treatment that he has always shown towards all the estates that make up the Barca family, and wishes him luck and success in the future."
Setien, who replaced Ernesto Valverde in January, had signed a contract to keep him at the club until summer 2022, but was sacked after only seven months in charge.
Darren Bent says Man City will be first in the queue to sign Lionel Messi if he leaves Barcelona
The 61-year-old won 16 of his 25 games at the Barca helm but the team ended the 2019/20 campaign trophyless.
Even before Friday's embarrassment against Bayern, Setien was under pressure after he failed to stop Real Madrid clinching the league title.
The one-time Real Betis boss was also unable to lead Barcelona to success in the Copa del Rey, with Athletic Bilbao knocking them out in the quarter-finals.

Special Olympics takes on Park Junior High
Lauren Wols, Ali Ardehali, Sports Editor, and Hannah Anderson, Editor-in-Chief|December 9, 2017
Michaela Malec
The Special Olympics basketball team played Park Junior High on Monday, Dec. 4.
On Monday, Dec. 5, the Special Olympics Basketball Team hosted a game against the Park Junior High School Mighty Patriots in the Field House. The game resulted in a win for the Mighty Patriots by a score of 54-14.
The game ended with a score of 14-54 with Park Junior High winning the game.
Every member of the Red Devil team got a chance to play, some with assistance from the student coaches along the way.
"Overall, we did a good job today. We need to work on passing to our team and defense," said Tess Ellithorpe, junior student coach.
The Mighty Patriots were able to take an instant lead from the beginning, but the Red Devils were able to get more points later in the game.
One of the team's leaders this year is freshman Priya Philipneri. She was able to seize the ball multiple times during the game. At the last game, she was able to get 20 points for the team.
"We are doing very well this year," said Mrs. Watson, the head coach. "Priya has been a leader on and off the court."
The Special Olympics basketball team has been at our school for over 10 years, and they continue to grow each year, in numbers and strength in their performance. However, not all schools have a team similar to theirs, so occasionally they do play teams from junior high schools.
The team practices every Monday, and student coaches aid the players in strategies to improve the team's scores at each game.
"I almost scored a basket today," said Tara Rao, junior on the team. "I…had a lot of fun."
Despite the score, every player on the team was happy to be there. The next Special Olympics game will be at home in the field house on Wednesday, Dec. 13 against the Downers Grove Hoops.

Climate Change Lessons from Arabian Gulf Coral Reefs
Coral in the Arabian Gulf have adapted to temperatures that can top 97 degrees Fahrenheit. NYU Abu Dhabi researchers are working to understand how.
Somewhere on Lake Erie, leaning over the rail of a research vessel in a November snowstorm and trying not to be sick, John Burt decided he'd rather work in warmer waters.
"I realized I had a real fondness for the tropics," the marine biologist recalls, laughing over the fateful experience from back when he was earning his master's degree in freshwater biology.
Now, as head of NYU Abu Dhabi's Marine Biology Lab, Burt conducts his research in some of the warmest waters on record—the Arabian Gulf, also known as the Persian Gulf. And, as the world contemplates rising sea temperatures caused by climate change, his work there has wide-ranging implications.
In June, a team led by Ed Smith, a research scientist in Burt's lab, published a study comparing the genetic structure of coral and their algae partners, or symbionts, in the Arabian Gulf and the neighboring Gulf of Oman. Their goal? To try to understand how coral in the Arabian Gulf have adapted to temperatures that can top 36 degrees Celsius (97 degrees Fahrenheit), about 5 degrees hotter than the average temperatures in the Gulf of Oman. The water off Miami Beach in August, for comparison, maxes out at 86 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"The prospect of investigating the thermal tolerance of Gulf corals brought me to NYUAD," says Smith. "Undertaking research which could help further our understanding of how corals may respond to climate change is exciting, and this paper was an important step in our wider study into what makes these corals so special."
Coral reefs have been on the decline in recent years, in part because of "bleaching"—a breakdown in the relationship between coral and algae, which depend on each other for nutrients. According to Smith's study, bleaching has been documented with an increase in temperature of only 1 or 2 degrees Celsius.
But tropical waters are expected to warm by as much as 4 degrees Celsius by the end of this century.
The balance between coral and algae is "incredibly important," says Burt, an associate professor of biology who was one of the first faculty members to join NYU Abu Dhabi.

"Symbionts can survive on their own, but corals need that symbiont to survive," he says. "Corals get more than 90 percent of their energy from symbionts."
The consequences of coral loss are potentially devastating: Reefs are a significant source of fish for coastal communities and commercial fishing enterprises, supplying protein for up to a billion people, according to the Coral Reef Alliance.
The study, "Genetic structure of coral-Symbiodinium symbioses on the world's warmest reefs," which builds on earlier work by NYU postdoctoral researcher Emily Howells and others, shows that coral and algae in the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman are genetically distinct.
"What the results of these various studies tell us is that both the coral and their symbiotic algae have genetically adapted to extreme temperatures," Burt says. "If there was a means for this thermal tolerance to genetically spread to other regions, there is the possibility that corals there too could cope with future climate change."
But Burt is quick to dispel the notion that Arabian Gulf coral and algae are a miracle cure for rising sea temperatures elsewhere. Human-assisted migration of the coral and algea to other areas could introduce new diseases or parasites to a body of water, while natural dispersal might result in cross-breeding between so-called thermotolerant species and less tolerant species, negating the thermotolerant advantage. Instead, the hope is that coral in other seas will seek out thermotolerant algae the way coral in the Arabian Gulf have, thereby boosting their survival chances.
Burt calls the Arabian Gulf a "phenomenal natural laboratory" for research on coral hosts and algae symbionts, which has been a collaborative effort among scientists at NYU Abu Dhabi, the University of Southampton, the University of Oregon, and Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It also has been the base for Burt's research into how marine ecosystems respond to coastal infrastructure, including high-profile projects such as the Palm Jumeirah, a man-made island in the shape of a palm tree that is home to 4,000 luxury villas and apartments in the UAE.
"Humans aren't going to stop building cities along coastlines," he says. "So are there ways we can develop them in a more environmentally sustainable manner?"
Burt, who spent his childhood summers traveling the coastal Canadian waters near his family home in Nova Scotia, has worked in every country along the Arabian Gulf except Iran—"Once the embargo is lifted, I'm over there on the first flight," he says—and hosted workshops and conferences dedicated to enhancing conservation. So far, he says, efforts to responsibly care for the water have risen above politics in the region.
"Coral reefs, marine systems—they don't recognize borders," he says. "The Arabian Gulf is one shared body of water that needs to be managed cohesively by all states. It doesn't make any sense to limit collaboration when it comes to coastal management and science."
