NOW: Workshop in Benton Harbor to recruit Michigan residents for new, independent redistricting commission
BENTON HARBOR, Mich. -- A new, independent commission will help Michigan re-draw its political districts after the 2020 census.
The state wants as many Michiganders as possible to apply, so it's on a 10 city, statewide tour to get people to apply.
On Wednesday that tour will its final stop in Benton Harbor.
"We're essentially putting the power back into the hands of the public to tell us what they're communities really look like and how they should be represented," said Michigan Department of State Director of Public Engagement Loida Tapia.
In the November 2018 election voters amended the state constitution to make citizens, not legislators, responsible for drawing district lines.
Michigan and California are currently the only states in the United States with this amendment.
The hope is it cuts down on gerrymandering, creating more representative districts.
When it convenes in fall 2020, four Republicans, four Democrats, and five people not affiliated with either major party will make up the 13-member Michigan Independent Redistricting Commission.
"Last year, millions of Michiganders voted to give citizens the power to draw our legislative districts, and now it is time to apply to be one of those citizens," said Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said. "This is a first-of-its-kind opportunity for Michigan voters to draw fair and impartial electoral maps for our state. I hope every Michigander considers applying to participate."
Wednesday's workshop in Benton Harbor is free. Organizers say it's a chance for people to ask the state additional questions.
In order to apply, a person must be an eligible, registered voter not currently or within the last six years, an elected official or declared candidate for a partisan office, among other restrictions.
Commission members will each earn approximately $40,000 as compensation for their service.
The commission must enact district maps no later than Nov. 1, 2021, becoming law by Dec. 31, 2021 so they can take effect for the 2022 election cycle.
The state says 5,789 people have submitted an application so far. They are open until June 1, 2020.
"They have the opportunity to not only be on the commission but the opportunity to redraw the lines in their communities and districts and make sure it's representative across the state both geographically and demographically," said Tapia.
Wednesday meeting is from 6-7:30 p.m. at Kinexus in Benton Harbor.
Those interested but cannot attend are encouraged to visit RedistrictingMichigan.org.

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/30/2005 -- With several mix tapes and albums planned for a 2006 release, ShowTyme Entertainment is definitely on route to being the next hype out of Houston. Finally receiving its long overdue notoriety, Houston's rap scene has proven it can rival that of New York and Atlanta. The city's most popular underground players have all gone on to sign major deals, therefore, leaving a void that the independent label is determined to fill.
Within just a few years' span in the rap game, ShowTyme Entertainment and its artists have been representing Houston with full force. Boasting four underground mix tapes, a full roster of hot and promising talent, and a strong pipeline of music projects underway the label is anxiously ready to broadcast to the rest of the world its full arsenal of banging music projects. The singles and mix tapes are already blazing the streets, and the streets are loving it- anxiously awaiting the next download to be released on the website or the mix tape to hit the streets. Not to mention that the small, yet powerful label has toured Canada, performed around the state and the South, and even opened up shows for the likes of Swisha House.
As the rest of the world awaits the next hype out of Texas, the label and its artists are carefully charting out their success. "We really want to fill the void left in the Texas underground rap scene and max out independently before we sign or even think about a major [deal]. We want to gain that respect from people," says label President, Doc Quinn.
In the meantime, keep your ears to the streets. With such a strong fan base already garnered all throughout Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana, just to name a few, there is no doubt that once the buzz starts spreading like wildfire the majors can only help but take notice.

如何在 Linux 中列出可用的软件包组
======

我们知道,如果想要在 Linux 中安装软件包,可以使用软件包管理器来进行安装。由于系统管理员需要频繁用到软件包管理器,所以它是 Linux 当中的一个重要工具。

但是如果想一次性安装一个软件包组,在 Linux 中有可能吗?又如何通过命令去实现呢?

在 Linux 中确实可以用软件包管理器来达到这样的目的。很多软件包管理器都有这样的选项来实现这个功能,但就我所知,`apt` 或 `apt-get` 软件包管理器却并没有这个选项。因此对基于 Debian 的系统,需要使用的命令是 `tasksel`,而不是 `apt` 或 `apt-get` 这样的官方软件包管理器。

在 Linux 中安装软件包组有很多好处。对于 LAMP 来说,安装过程会包含多个软件包,但如果安装软件包组命令来安装,只安装一个包就可以了。

当你的团队需要安装 LAMP,但不知道其中具体包含哪些软件包,这个时候软件包组就派上用场了。软件包组是 Linux 系统上一个很方便的工具,它能让你轻松地完成一组软件包的安装。

软件包组是一组用于公共功能的软件包,包括系统工具、声音和视频。 安装软件包组的过程中,会获取到一系列的依赖包,从而大大节省了时间。

### 如何在 CentOS/RHEL 系统上列出可用的软件包组

RHEL 和 CentOS 系统使用的是 RPM 软件包,因此可以使用 `yum` 软件包管理器来获取相关的软件包信息。

`yum` 是 "Yellowdog Updater, Modified" 的缩写,它是一个用于基于 RPM 系统(例如 RHEL 和 CentOS)的,开源的命令行软件包管理工具。它是从发行版仓库或其它第三方库中获取、安装、删除、查询和管理 RPM 包的主要工具。

### 如何在 Fedora 系统上列出可用的软件包组

Fedora 系统使用的是 DNF 软件包管理器,因此可以通过 DNF 软件包管理器来获取相关的信息。

DNF 的含义是 "Dandified yum"。DNF 软件包管理器是 YUM 软件包管理器的一个分支,它使用 hawkey/libsolv 库作为后端。从 Fedora 18 开始,Aleš Kozumplík 开始着手 DNF 的开发,直到在 Fedora 22 开始加入到系统中。

`dnf` 命令可以在 Fedora 22 及更高版本上安装、更新、搜索和删除软件包, 它可以自动解决软件包的依赖关系并其顺利安装,不会产生问题。

YUM 被 DNF 取代是由于 YUM 中存在一些长期未被解决的问题。为什么 Aleš Kozumplík 没有对 yum 的这些问题作出修补呢,他认为补丁解决存在技术上的难题,而 YUM 团队也不会马上接受这些更改,还有一些重要的问题。而且 YUM 的代码量有 5.6 万行,而 DNF 只有 2.9 万行。因此已经不需要沿着 YUM 的方向继续开发了,重新开一个分支才是更好的选择。

### 如何在 Debian/Ubuntu 系统上列出可用的软件包组

由于 APT 或 APT-GET 软件包管理器没有为基于 Debian/Ubuntu 的系统提供这样的选项,因此需要使用 `tasksel` 命令来获取相关信息。

[tasksel][11] 是 Debian/Ubuntu 系统上一个很方便的工具,只需要很少的操作就可以用它来安装好一组软件包。可以在 `/usr/share/tasksel` 目录下的 `.desc` 文件中安排软件包的安装任务。

默认情况下,`tasksel` 工具是作为 Debian 系统的一部分安装的,但桌面版 Ubuntu 则没有自带 `tasksel`,这个功能类似软件包管理器中的元包(meta-packages)。

`tasksel` 工具带有一个基于 zenity 的简单用户界面,例如命令行中的弹出图形对话框。

**推荐阅读:** [使用 tasksel 在 Debian/Ubuntu 系统上快速安装软件包组][12]

```
# tasksel --list-task

```

如果需要列出相关联的软件包,可以执行以下这个命令。下面的例子是列出和 "lamp-server" 组相关联的软件包。

```
# tasksel --task-desc "lamp-server"
Selects a ready-made Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP server.
```

### 如何在基于 Arch Linux 的系统上列出可用的软件包组

基于 Arch Linux 的系统使用的是 pacman 软件包管理器,因此可以通过 pacman 软件包管理器来获取相关的信息。

pacman 是 "package manager" 的缩写。`pacman` 可以用于安装、构建、删除和管理 Arch Linux 软件包。`pacman` 使用 libalpm(Arch Linux Package Management 库,ALPM)作为后端来执行所有操作。

**推荐阅读:** [使用 pacman 在基于 Arch Linux 的系统上管理软件包][13]

```
# pacman -Sg

如果需要列出相关联的软件包,可以执行以下这个命令。下面的例子是列出和 "gnome" 组相关联的软件包。

```
# pacman -Sg gnome
gnome baobab

El Llobet és una obra de Mura (Bages) protegida com a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local.

Descripció
Cal Llobet està format per dues cases unides. L'estructura de totes dues és semblant: planta baixa semisoterrada, primer pis amb accés des del carrer, i segon pis sota teulada. La plata soterrani queda oberta al nivell dels horts per la banda de ponent, i la planta pis queda com a primer pis per la banda de ponent, i arran de carrer per la banda de llevant. Les dues cases han estat reformades recentment. La façana principal s'obre al carrer. L'accés a les dues cases es realitza per una única porta adovellada desplaçada al costat esquerre. Pel que fa a les finestres, n'hi ha tres a la planta baixa i set a la planta pis, més una balconera enrasada amb barana de ferro amb únicament tres finestres en aquesta planta i un seguit de finestres. Destaca la finestra conopial gòtica situada sobre la porta d'arc de mig punt.

La façana de posterior, orientada als horts, presenta tres plantes diferenciades en les que destaquen grups de tres arcs de mig punt amples a cada pis formant les eixides als pisos i coberts a la planta baixa. L'estructura de la casa es posa de manifest que es tracta d'un edifici que ha anar sofrint canvis al llarg del temps. La planta semisoterrani és la que albergava els cellers i corts. Consta de tres crugies, totes elles cobertes amb voltes de canó: la central en direcció N-S és una volta de canó apuntada, i és un espai en el que hi ha dues tines, una circular que s'ha adaptat com a escala, i una quadrada. També trobem un dipòsit subterrani que era per l'oli. El pis ha estat modificat i no conserva l'estructura antiga, únicament l'eixida. Davant la casa, als horts, queden restes de l'antic aqüeducte probablement medieval que portava aigua de la font del Foradot als horts i casa del Llobet.

Història
El Llobet és una de les cases més antigues del nucli de Mura, ja que són esmentats el 950, quan Guifré Amat i un tal Llobet fan donació d'unes terres, vinyes i cases que tenien al terme de Nèspola al monestir de Sant Llorenç del Munt. En un document de 1035 s'esmenta com a terme les terres i vinyes de Lobeto situades al costat de Sant Martí. El 1580 Antoni Llobet, pagès de la parròquia de Sant Martí, fa un establiment a Joan Llonch, mestre de cases, d'una terra. En aquest moment la casa ja existiria al lloc actual. A la consueta de Mura de 1592 s'esmenten dues cases amb cognom Llobet: casa de la vídua Lobet amb 4 habitants, casa de Valentí Lobet amb 3 habitants.

Els mateixos hereus de cal Llobet conserven documentació en pergamí que fa referència a la casa i a diverses propietats dels Llobet. Aquesta casa seria molt probablement una de les primeres que es van construir al voltant de l'església de Sant Martí, formant una sagrera al meandre de la riera de Nespres o Nèspola, a la vall, probablement amb un inici d'ocupació al . Al  hi havia 21 cases a la sagrera que configuraven el nucli a l'entorn de l'església.

This chapter will aim to cover areas like - The proportion of premature death & illness due to poor diet. The prevalence of obesity & eating disorders (and malnutrition). Diet & ecology. Recent research on diet & mental health. What is a really healthy diet? Mediterranean diet & SMILES study. The value/dangers of supplements.
How can we best assess the healthiness of our diet?
I have recently written a couple of blog posts about diet and mental health - "Emerging research on diet suggests it's startlingly important in the prevention of anxiety & depression" and "So what dietary advice should we be following - for psychological as well as physical health?"
So what dietary advice should we be following - for psychological as well as physical health?
The key points of this blog post can be downloaded & printed out as a helpful 6-slide-miniatures-to-a-page Powerpoint handout.
In the 1970's I taught yoga and several different types of meditation. In the 1980's I began teaching courses in Autogenic Training, a form of deep relaxation/meditation. I continued running Autogenic classes for about 25 years. In addition to the relaxation/meditation exercises, the teaching also covered several other life skill/stress management techniques. For a much fuller description of these eight session courses, visit the Autogenic Training section of this website.
I read a lot of research. When I find an article of particular interest I download it to my bibliographic database - EndNote - which currently contains over 14,100 abstracts.


Robert Bohn, Sr. Museum Scientist, preps the soil for seeding.
Last week the UC Davis Public Garden team put the finishing touches on the campus's first landscape conversion project — the Shields Oak Grove Meadow. Congratulations to everyone involved in this team effort and to project manager Andrew Fulks, Director of the UC Davis Putah Creek Riparian Reserve!
Maintenance for this little-used lawn will be drastically reduced as mowing will move from once-a-week to once-a-year. In addition, when the grasses are established, irrigation frequency will move from 3-4 times a week to once a month.
To prepare for this new low-maintenance, low-water, and native grass landscape the 30-year-old sprinkler system was updated by the Grounds and Landscape Services irrigation team for water coverage suited to taller grasses; the soil was tilled and prepped by Arboretum Steward Robert Bohn, Sr.; and then seeded with with a mixture of native grasses by Jean-Paul Marié, Steward of the UC Davis Putah Creek Riparian Reserve.
For the grass enthusiasts out there the specific blend we used is as follows: Purple needlegrass (44.83%), Meadow barley (20.69%), California oniongrass (10.34%), Junegrass (6.90%), and Squirrel tail (17.24%).


Offering an outdoor pool, Hotel Le Tremplin is located in Méribel. Free WiFi access is provided. The property is 50 metres from the ski lifts.
Each room here offers a balcony, a minibar and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Featuring a bath or shower, the private bathroom has a hairdryer and bathrobes.
At Hotel Le Tremplin you will find a communal sauna, a hammam and a hot tub. Other facilities offered at the property include luggage storage and ski storage. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including skiing.

Stöcklweingarten ist eine Ortschaft in der Marktgemeinde Treffen im österreichischen Bundesland Kärnten. Das  Einwohner (Stand ) zählende Dorf liegt am Nordufer des Ossiacher Sees zwischen den Ortschaften Bodensdorf und Sattendorf.

Geschichte
Ursprünglich bauten die Mönche vom Stift Ossiach in Stöcklweingarten, wie der Name schon verrät, Wein an. Der Name stammt von "stickla" für "steil" und Weingarten. Heutige Haupteinnahmequelle ist der Tourismus. In Stöcklweingarten befindet sich ein aufgelassener Steinbruch bei dem früher Marmor abgebaut wurde.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Der Ort liegt am Ossiacher See, sowie auch am Fuße der Gerlitzen, wo man wandern und schifahren kann. In unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es auch die Finsterbach Wasserfälle und die Schiffsanlegestelle Sattendorf. Mit dem Schiff kann man nach Ossiach fahren und das Stift Ossiach besichtigen.

Aktivitäten
Im Sommer kann man Badeurlaub am Ossiacher See machen oder auf die Gerlitzen wandern gehen, sowie beliebte Touristenattraktionen in der Nähe besuchen.

Im Winter ist die Region für den Schisport bekannt. Auf der Gerlitzen kann man sowohl Schifahren als auch Winterwanderungen unternehmen.

Im Nachbarort Bodensdorf (ca. 2 km entfernt) gibt es Lokale wie das Cafe Biero, in dem Sie Cocktails, Bier und Weine bekommen sowie oft auch Livemusik erleben können.

Mobilität
Der Bus 5177 in Stöcklweingarten fährt in jeweils 20 Minuten direkt zum Hauptbahnhof Villach oder nach Feldkirchen.

Mit dem Zug kann man entweder in Sattendorf (Sattendorf Bahnhof) oder in St. Urban (St.Urban/Ossiacher See Bahnhof) aussteigen und ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß nach Stöcklweingarten gehen.

TOPIC | Private!
@Lovable no worries! we all get on when we can or when we feel like it, there's no pressure! i'm so hyped about this tbh, their whole interaction is just adorable!
Fey lifted a little, pleasantly surprised to find someone else with an affinity for Sornieth's leafy greens. Now that he thought about it, why wouldn't he have noticed this before? Dellingr had a rose in his mouth, duh. Typical of Fey to pay attention to plants and not their implications.
This dragon was so close, his demeanor so strange, and yet the purple mirror was so attracted to him, allured by his curious presence, how he seemed to be somewhere else even as they spoke, how bright mystery and pure spirit radiated from him. He was one of the most entrancing dragons he'd ever met, and that was saying something. Dellingr was a dream, Fey thought. A dream incarnate, inches from all four of his disbelieving eyes.
It took him a second to process the question. He jolted a bit, having forgotten where he was for a brief instance.
"Oh! I'm looking for a rare plant that grows in a specific region there. Aether cherries, to be exact. I'm studying their possible medicinal properties."
He automatically felt more of a connection to Dellingr at his revelation of their shared love of plants. Hesitantly, he offered up his own question.
"What about you? You say it's a dangerous journey, yet you take it yourself. What might be your goal?"
coatlfeathers
@coatlfeathers Fey is having a crises and I love these boys!
Dellingr's face hardened at the questioned. His bright eyes studied the Mirror, seemingly assessing something. Fey's expression was innocent, curious. Dellingr could see his brilliant pink hide shimmering in all four of Fey's eyes.
It wasn't that he didn't want to answer the dragon. Fey had, after all, answered Dellingr's questions with enthusiasm. He lifted his head towards the sky, which was now displaying a beautiful robin egg's blue. It was a few beats more before he finally replied, choosing his words carefully.
"I'm soul searching. I don't have a set path laid out, and if I happen across some rare plants, well...all the better." He gave a mysterious smile, one that hinted there was more to his story, but he didn't elaborate further.
"If you would be so kind as to have me, I could actually use some company. Very little is known about that species of cherry..." Excitement now rang like a bell in Dellingr's usual baritone.
Reminiscent of a cat, the Skydancer stretched his lanky hind legs, curving his back inward. Every inch of the dragon was fine-tuned for sharp turns, speed, and elegance, but he was prepared to move slower to accommodate the smaller dragon. He gazed fondly down at the purple shape standing among the shoots of grass and wildflowers.
It had been a long time since he just enjoyed the sights.

@Lovable he's having a gay crisis and I'm here for it
The purple mirror needed a second to think about the other's question, the same way Dellingr needed time to think about his. To wander Sornieth with his newfound plant friend, documenting and putting new species to use, an unstoppable botanical duo... well, it was quite the alluring prospect, to say the least.
However, on the other hand, Fey's anxiety nagged. He had a clan to heal, plants to take care of. If this journey lasted longer than his initial plan, then what? Where would Dellingr's soul take him? He didn't even know a lot about this new dragon, they'd just met, for Gladekeeper's sakes. What if this was some element of the shade trying to lure him in? What if-
"I think that's a sound idea, my friend. I think it will be interesting to see what we discover. Maybe I can do a little soul searching myself."
What. Was. He. Doing. There was a whole mental list of reasons not to trust this dragon right there! All rational thought defied this! And yet...Fey smiled. Some primal instinct in him trusted Dellingr.
@coatlfeathers Fey is internally screaming and I love it
"Wonderful!" Dellingr stated with an air of completing an especially lucrative business transaction. "I don't have any belongings that I need to pack..." He trailed off, craning his neck to glance around him, as if to confirm to himself that, yes, he didn't magically obtain several objects of luggage within the last few minutes.
The afternoon brought with it steadier winds than the morning had, drifting pollen, bits of leaves, petals and any foliage that broke away from nature's grasp. It would be perfect for gliding, sailing with his wingtips brushing against the soft grasses and weeds. But he ignored the urge in his legs to kick off into the air, sailing like a kite, perfectly steady and even. Instead, he brushed away stray pieces of grass that landed on Fey's shoulder, and trotted forward.
"It will be a very long journey, but those are the best ones." Dellingr smirked around the dewy pink rose that he held in his sharp beak. He was perfectly capable of storing it in his feathers, but he preferred to carry it around where he could smell it's distinctive, relaxing scent.
The Skydancer jumped along the tangles of thistle and weeds that collected around the perfectly smashed path that Snappers were prone to use. He bounced with happy energy before landing back on the smooth, packed dirt, leaving small claw marks pocked into the soil, and repeated the action, seemingly unable to stay still. His energy contradicted the mysterious, calm aura he usually attempted to give off. It was hard to act stoic when the day was so perfectly aligned for traveling.
"Should we stop anywhere before making real progress forward?" Dellingr asked suddenly after trotting a few feet down the path, his long legs making quick strides compared to a mirror's smaller ones. "I don't have a clan to check in on...well," he chuckled darkly. "Not any worth checking in on at the moment."
@Lovable hhhh i'm so sorry for not responding, school has been hell lately :((( aaaaaaaaaaa i'm glad i finally got a chance to!
The rush of blood to Fey's face upon Dellingr touching his shoulder was unexpected but not entirely unwelcome. He'd only known this dragon for a few minutes, and yet he found himself inexplicably close to this stranger. They barely knew anything about each other. And now he was on this strange journey. This was not his plan for today.
Fey's tail swished across the dirt. "I don't see any reason to stop at the moment. We've got the day ahead of us, and we're not getting any closer to where we're headed." His eyes caught on how the wind tugged at Dellingr, how he seemingly itched to be moving and traveling. A pang of guilt hit the purple dragon. It was like he was holding his new friend back from the freedom he clearly longed to have.
They were quite opposite, truly. One long, slim, graceful, shimmering. The other stocky, stout, laden with bags of herbs and not particularly well-groomed. Yin and Yang, they faced each other on the path, both opposite but together nonetheless. Dellingr's comment about his clan and the tone that it had threw Fey a bit; he hesitated, but decided not to mention it, instead storing it away for a different time.
"You don't... you don't have to wait for me, you know. I don't wanna stop you from flying just because I'm walking." His claws scraped at the path anxiously. He had the same energy about him as Dellingr, but more nervous than anticipatory. His was movement for movement's sake. Fey's was to expel tension. Of which he had a lot.
@coatlfeathers
The conversation flowed naturally, and Dellingr thought the mirror's voice sounded good against the rustling of foliage in the morning breeze. His twinkling, golden eyes held warmth and bemusement at the smaller dragon's mannerisms. While Dellingr felt his body was crafted by the wind and light that now surrounded them, he had the suspicion this dragon was more earthly, like the deeply rooted trees that always held his fascination.
His racing mind - because his mind was always racing, even in sleep - flashed him images of mountains and spires and redwoods that acted like boundaries around Sornieth.
Only when he sensed, more than heard, the anxiety in the smaller dragon's voice did his mind come to screeching halt. Fey was pawing at the ground, seemingly...embarrassed? Ashamed? Was it so obvious that Dellingr yearned to sore and glide on the warm currents? He ducked his head.
"No, no, don't-" Dellingr cocked his head, plucking the right words from his birdbrained mind. His wings naturally stretched to accept the pull and tug of the wind, but the thought of walking - actually taking in the scenery - sounded strangely appealing as well. "I can walk. I want to walk with you."
At home, he would have many fancy words to express his thoughts. Oftentimes, he would be asked to join the Seelie courts due to his way of crafting words. But Dellingr found it harder to be so grandiose with this little dragon. Perhaps it was because Fey didn't put on a persona. Everything about Fey seemed...genuine. Sweetly genuine. And real. It was a nice change compared to the dragons in his clan.
He nodded to punctuate his resolve, and tucked his wings tightly to his sides. Practicing patience was long-overdo for the skydancer anyway.


We have been busy in the workshop finalising some new designs, and are pleased to announce they are now available to purchase.
This is a variation on our standard 4cm thick chopping boards. We have come to learn that some customers have more to say than we can engrave in a single line of text. We have therefore introduced the 2-liner chopping board which allows for 2 lines of text to be engraved on up to two edges making it ideal for a verse or two from a poem. It doesn't have to be a poem; perhaps just a long list of names of loved ones – grandchildren's names can become lengthy!
The Gin & Tonic Board is the perfect size for cutting lemons and limes for your favourite tipple. It can be engraved on up to two edges with G&T and/or your own personalised message. We are sure this will be loved by many with gin undergoing somewhat of a renaissance.
You can find out more about our new boards by clicking the links in this article or browsing the chopping boards section. We have a couple of other new products available from our sister site – Oak and Personal. As well as the boards shown here you will also find a beautiful bottle coaster and a range of dips and snack bowls.
If you have any questions on these or any of our products do not hesitate to contact us.

Glenn Beck: In America, The 'Seeds' of Nazi Germany are 'Everywhere'
By Jared Holt | April 23, 2019 2:15 pm
Right-wing television and radio host Glenn Beck warned his audience yesterday that Christianity is being replaced by secularism in the United States and that it is a clear indication the U.S. is headed toward a path reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
On yesterday's episode of Beck's solo program on the digital television offshoot of his The Blaze outlet, Beck was joined by conservative talk show host Dennis Prager to discuss the string of bombings in Sri Lanka last weekend. The duo talked abstractly about what they believe to be the decline of Judeo-Christian influence in the Western hemisphere, during which Beck compared a cultural shift away from the church to the early years of Nazi Germany.
"We saw this before when [Friedrich] Nietzsche said 'God is dead.' He was really pretty much warning the German people, 'What is it you're going to replace God with, Germans, because, look out, you will replace reason and knowledge with something.' And they lost their faith, they lost their reason and the Germans replaced it with pseudo-science and folklore and legend, and look what that produced in Germany," Beck said.
"We're seeing the seeds of this everywhere and yet we are refusing to look at it," Beck said.
Prager said that the cross was like a "thin blue line" resting "between chaos and order in the West."

holding back the Hudson River, and it relieves pressure placed upon the 36-foot (11-meter) exposed section of the slurry wall visible to the public within the museum.
A COORDINATED EFFORT
From the start, the site was dominated by multiple project teams working on different aspects of the reconstruction effort. While Lend Lease oversaw the memorial and museum, other teams worked on the train station, the hub access where visitors would enter the train station and connecting structures, and the technical infrastructure to support the space.
The project leaders and their teams had to work together, negotiating access to space and roads, and making sure efforts in one area didn't conflict with work elsewhere.
"Trying to organize so many different elements
of the project was a constant challenge," Mr. Clarke
says. "It was probably the toughest environment,
from a coordination standpoint, that I've ever
worked in."
As a result, Mr. Santos, who oversaw scheduling,
always had to have several alternate plans in place,
knowing they would be constantly revisited and
revised based on the latest set of requirements and
stakeholder needs.
and projected costs to rein in spending and to accommodate the concerns of stakeholders such as the family members of the September 11 victims.
Resulting changes included fewer museum galleries and visitor entrances.
When the project was restarted later that year, the Lend Lease team set out to complete one of the most challenging aspects of the design: maintaining the integrity of the site's original slurry wall, which had kept the nearby Hudson River from flooding the site after the Twin Towers fell.
The designers wanted to preserve the wall within the museum as a testament to the survival and determination of the American people, but the wall needed to be reinforced for structural reasons, Mr. Santos explains. So the Lend Lease team had to construct a retaining wall, which would be 70 feet ( 21 meters) tall and 80 feet ( 24 meters) wide, behind the exposed slurry wall.
"No one had ever built something
like that before at that scale," Mr. Santos says. "It
was one of our biggest challenges."
To construct the new wall, the team had to exca-
vate from street level, sometimes digging by hand
to avoid damaging the existing slurry wall. The
retaining wall now serves as the primary barrier
"No one had ever
built something
like that [wall]
before at that
scale. It was one
of our biggest
challenges."

A BRITISH family are still searching for their 'uncle Rob' after he was last seen at the beginning of August.
James Robert Mawson, 51, was last seen in Alicante and has been reported missing with Spanish and West Yorkshire police, according to his family.
Family member Katie Morton said in a public post that it was extremely out of character for James not to contact anyone for such a long period of time.
She urged anyone who may have seen James, from Castleford in the UK, to contact Spanish or West Yorkshire police.

For Traditional Retail and Service Businesses
I feel a bit like the boy in the Hans Christian Andersen tale of The Emperor's New Clothes, though I'm not nearly so brave as he. You remember, don't you? Two weavers promise an Emperor a new suit of clothes that will be invisible to those unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, a boy cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!"
The Internet is the parade we're watching and Facebook is its emperor. I've seen "naked" and this emperor sure looks it, but I hesitate to shout it out loud because this would be tantamount to a confession of professional incompetence.
Let's face it. Those weavers have spun a pretty loud buzz with "Facebook and Twitter."
The first Internet buzzword was "eyeballs." Any site that could generate a high number of unique visitors and page views was said to be overflowing with eyeballs and its creator was considered a genius. But eyeballs didn't translate into dollars unless you delivered a message to the brain behind those eyeballs that was judged to be highly relevant and sufficiently credible.
Next it was about "going viral." My office was deluged with a river of advertisers asking, "How can we take our message viral? We want to go viral. Do you know the secret of going viral?" I told these advertisers, "Going viral is what happens when traditional word-of-mouth is empowered by digital technology. Do you have a relevant, credible message that contains at least one of the essential three word-of-mouth triggers?"
"Eyeballs" and "going viral" faded away due to a lack of success stories. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it's "Facebook and Twitter."
Internet acolytes say "Facebook and Twitter" in hushed tones like they're intoning a holy mantra. Gregarious extraverts say "Facebook and Twitter" like they're sharing the location of a keg party. Hungry business owners say "Facebook and Twitter" like they're asking for directions on a road trip. Aspiring young consultants say "Facebook and Twitter" with an air of condescension, as though it were "Checkmate" in a chess match.
This time I'm letting Lee Iacocca handle it:
"Talk is cheap. Where I come from, in the auto industry, you were held brutally accountable for your programs and products. The response to any idea was, 'Show me where it's working.'"
- Lee Iacocca, Where Have All the Leaders Gone? ch. 3 (2007)
Lee is right, kids. Talk is cheap. Show me where it's working. Google "Facebook success stories." I did. Prepare to be underwhelmed.
Facebook promises hypertargeting but this has been the promise of every media since the invention of advertising. Newspapers have been divided into sections for nearly a century. "Do you want to target men in the Sports section, women in the Lifestyle section, or businesspeople in the Business section?" Magazines were invented to allow us to target micro-groups that shared a common interest. Television and radio stations promise psychographic targeting through specific programming. Billboards promise tightly controlled geographic targeting. And each of these media is hampered by the same limiting factor as Facebook and Twitter. It is an inescapable truth: Response to your message will be dictated by its relevance and credibility, not by the vehicle of its delivery.
There is benefit to be had through a presence on Facebook.Twitter is a quick way to blurt 140 characters to whomever will give you a moment's attention. If you enjoy these things, do them. Your business will certainly derive some benefit.
But they are not the highest and best use of your time and energy.
This whole "Facebook and Twitter" thing reminds me of a conversation I had with a client 14 years ago in Milwaukee. Working together we had grown his business 10-fold in just 5 years. That's right, one thousand percent growth. He was swimming in cash because he was tenacious, hard-working, had excellent judgment and his employees loved him. All I had done was help him focus his message and his ad budget. When he arrived in Austin for his annual marketing retreat, he said, "This year I want to spend 20 thousand dollars of the ad budget for a country club membership. I really believe I can sell some product on the golf course." Knowing my client loved to golf, I said, "Sounds like a great idea. How often do you plan to golf?"
"Every Tuesday," he answered.
"I'm okay with this plan as long as we agree that you're going to be the one responsible for selling on the golf course, not me. If you can't make it work, it's your fault, not mine. You okay with that?"
He was okay with it. He bought the country club membership, began playing golf every Tuesday, sold a little product on the golf course and he's still a client today. But his business is now more than 50 times the size it was when we first began working together. My client continues to golf every Tuesday but he doesn't pretend that golf is what built his business.
If you like to golf, do it. Steal a few moments of your life for living. Maketime for the things that give you pleasure. Facebook is a country club membership. If connecting on Facebook is your thing, go for it.
But please, let's not pretend it's the highest and best investment of your time.
INTERESTING COINCIDENCE: After I had written today's MMMemo and posted it to the server, my friend Jeffrey Eisenberg, having no idea what today's MMMemo would be about, sent me this hyperlink to a story written by the executive editor of The New York Times. It seems Bill Keller questions the value of Facebook and Twitter, much as I do:
"Though I am not much of a Tweeter and pay little attention to my Facebook account, I love to see something I've written neatly bitly'd and shared around the Twittersphere, even when I know — now, for instance — that the verdict of the crowd will be hostile."
– Bill Keller, executive editor of The New York Times, May 18, 2011


I've been overwhelmed lately with everything I'm trying to achieve this year. I tend to do this, and put a lot of pressure on myself to accomplish things as quickly as I can.
What happens is my thoughts/ideas/goals/ambitions expand out until they reach a critical mass at which point I can't possibly sustain my current mode of operation.
Then I'm forced to scale back my focus in order to achieve quality results on at least a few things.

The Exhibitions
Earth Stories
Collections Up Close
In Memoriam: Roderick Antony Long (1942-2018)
All the Museum and Department were very sad to hear of the death of former staff member Rod Long. Rod, Uncle Rod as he was affectionately known, was to many people the face of the Museum. Dave Norman, our long time Director, has kindly written his recollections of a man who, put simply, we all loved him for his friendly, helpful and kind nature.
Liz Harper
Roderic Long ("Uncle Rod") was, for as long as we can remember, the palaeontological assistant and gallery warder in the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, Cambridge. He was, quintessentially, the friendly and welcoming face of the Museum, and retained a staggeringly comprehensive knowledge of the contents of the Museum; this knowledge was dispensed in endless snippets of wise and genuinely helpful advice to any and all visitors. Rod's long association with the Museum meant that his knowledge of many of the academics (long-since departed) was as fresh and bright as if they were still working on the collections.
Rod was born and raised in Burnham Market and his early experience of the constant passage of aircraft from the many air-force bases in East Anglia during and immediately after the 2nd World War gave him a lifelong interest in aviation. His education was of modest but very short duration and he, in his very early teens, began working in a local nursery (of the botanical variety). Rod was by nature a rather self-contained, shy individual: content in his own company, quiet and yet surprisingly sociable, and needed nothing but the simplest of the necessities of life. It was during this early part of his working life that the 'fly-paper' quality of his memory began to emerge: he quickly picked up the common names of the flowers he was tending and yet also, seemingly effortlessly, memorised all their Latin names. After his time as a nurseryman he was, for a short while, a deliveryman for the "International Stores" (an English supermarket chain that rose to prominence in the early 1950s). However, this did not suit our Rod and his life was shortly to change.
At the age of fifteen Rod was interviewed for (and was appointed as) an assistant at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. In this environment Rod was to blossom: he found himself surrounded by interesting and precious objects that he could care for and learn about. Museums probably attracted Rod because their general air of quietness and contemplation rather suited his personality. While assisting with the collections Rod began to develop the skills necessary for their curation. After a few years working at the Fitzwilliam, Rod applied for a similar position at the Sedgwick Museum of Geology (as it was then named) and was eagerly appointed.
Working under the fastidious eye of Albert 'Bertie" Brighton (the Museum curator) Rod was thrown into the business of keeping the Museum 'ship-shape' and ready for business each day, as well as assisting with the task of documenting the enormous collections: a task to which 'Bertie' pretty much devoted his entire life. The study, sorting and organisation of this huge assortment of somewhat alien objects: rocks, minerals and fossils was a daunting task, but Rod evidently relished the task and such work: routine suited him well. At about the same time that Rod was appointed, Michael Dorling was also taken on as an assistant to 'Bertie' Brighton and the two of them became the 'old retainers' and very much the visible face of the museum (years later joined by Steve Laurie who specialised primarily in curating the rock & mineral collection.
In keeping with the foundation of the Sedgwick Museum (1904) and the public money that was donated in memory of Adam Sedgwick, after whom the 'new' building was named, the Sedgwick had a reputation for being open to the public and had regular opening times. Visitors were always welcomed and Rod came, increasingly, the welcoming face of the Museum: he would be there, in his white lab-coat 'uniform', to greet newcomers, introduce them to the collections, identify specimens that they might bring in, and dispense his comprehensive knowledge of the collections with effortless ease. It is largely due to Rod that the Sedgwick has been regarded as the 'friendly museum' – his ethos lives on to this day.
Paradoxically shy and retiring by nature Rod simply revelled in knowledge and clearly enjoyed opportunities to dispense his own knowledge (as well as a seemingly endless supply of jokes, when occasion permitted). His passion remained aircraft, and the nearness of Duxford provided a source of endless pleasure in his free time. High days and holidays would see him return to Norfolk to visit his family and his roots.
After retirement Rod rarely came into the Museum but retained his friendship with various employees, enjoying trips to Duxford to see the aeroplanes with Ken Harvey (Department Photographer and now Museum Volunteer) who was especially kind to him. Sadly, the development of Parkinson's disease made it obvious that he would need to leave his own home in Arbury and be taken into care. He was moved to a care-home in Histon and re-introduction of a measure of order and structure to his daily life undoubtedly gave him great peace and contentment and, on occasion, offered opportunities to use his knowledge to assist his own carers from time to time.
A quiet, reserved, deeply private, shy and yet a happy bachelor. Rod's needs were simple, his life was simple and unadorned, and yet enriched by his gift of a quite extraordinary memory. Always ready with a laugh and a merry quip – especially against himself – a lovely smile, and the kindest and most gentle of natures. A truly lovely man – we all miss him.

Golden Globes: HFPA Nominates "Emily in Paris", Snubs "I May Destroy You"/
Golden Globes: HFPA Nominates "Emily in Paris", Snubs "I May Destroy You"
What is wrong with the Golden Globes that a brilliant show gets snubbed while mediocrity is honored?
Keith Baldwin
Here's the setup: a young but accomplished social-media maven is in over her head in the professional world where she finds herself in a major European capital (for the sake of argument, we'll pretend England is still part of the EU).
She has a complicated romantic life, and she wants to be successful — just not quite as much as she wants to enjoy herself. We follow her as she learns to navigate often overwhelming circumstances and how to stick up for herself — with a lot of help from some close friends.
In the case of Emily in Paris it's a set-up for some frivolous fun that has been widely panned for its lack of realism and reliance on clichés. In I May Destroy You it's a serious story about sexual assault and the challenge of confronting trauma, which has been widely praised for its power and realism, and regularly held up as a contender for the best show of 2020.
I May Destroy You | Official Trailer | HBOwww.youtube.com
Now, as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announces nominees for the 78th Golden Globe Awards, try to guess which of these shows just received two nominations... If you picked the one from Sex and the City creator Darren Star, starring Phil Collins' daughter — who happens to be just as white as all the other nominees in her category — congratulations, you've clearly encountered Hollywood before.
Unlike Lily Collins, Michaela Coel of I May Destroy You wasn't born into privilege and the nepotism of the entertainment industry. The daughter of Ghanaian immigrants to London, Coel made her own success as a writer and actress with her acclaimed Netflix sitcom Chewing Gum before creating her groundbreaking drama for BBC One and HBO.
Of course this may all seem like an unfair comparison. After all, Lily Collins and Emily in Paris received nominations for both Best Series and Best Performance in the "Comedy or Musical" category (which somehow manages to feel even more dated than the rest of the award show nonsense), while I May Destroy You was relegated to the limited series category — with some admittedly strong competition from the likes of Small Axe, Unorthodox, and The Undoing.
The two shows weren't even being considered for the same category. Isn't this a game of apples and oranges?
On the other hand, while no one could reasonably call I May Destroy You a comedy, at times it manages to be so much more cuttingly funny than Emily in Paris's one-note rehashing of fish-out-of-water tropes. And the issue is only marginally better when examined more closely.
Emily in Paris | Official Trailer | Netflixwww.youtube.com
Did Emily in Paris truly deliver a better comedy experience in 2020 than Insecure, Bob's Burgers, Superstore, Upload, The Good Place, BoJack Horseman,Truth Seekers, Solar Opposites, Woke, Space Force, I Am Not Okay With This, or a dozen other shows that weren't nominated? Definitely not. It doesn't belong.
And in the Limited Series category, the exclusion of I May Destroy You casts an unflattering light on the nominees.
For all its charm, was The Queen's Gambit's thin story and clumsy handling of addiction — solved by a Black savior character — really more worthy of recognition? It was certainly more approachable. Was Anya Taylor-Joy's stolid performance more affecting than Coel's defiant struggle to rebuild herself, or was it bolstered by the shows incredible ratings and by her performance in Emma — for which she was also nominated?
And were Normal People's familiar star-crossed lovers or Mrs. America's effort to humanize a reactionary political icon more groundbreaking than Coel's unflinching exploration of trauma? Or did they perhaps have more backing from their production companies, or creators with more industry connections?
emily in paris nominated but i may destroy you isn't....this is just so..? https://t.co/e3942jdpLH
— ambar (@ambar) 1612362922.0
What's more important than picking out any of these competitors to compare unfavorably to what Michaela Coel achieved in I May Destroy You, is the reality that — despite some half-hearted attempts to respond to criticism in recent years, Hollywood awards shows continue to prop up a whitewashed and sterilized version of art and entertainment — perpetuating entrenched power structures and content that's digestible to a mass audience.
Whether or not you accept that I May Destroy You is a better show than the nominees in that category, there is still a problem. It's fundamentally a problem that a show as unambitious — as competently mediocre — as Emily in Paris can be honored with two nominations for one of the most prestigious awards in the industry, while a show that pushes the boundaries of what television can do receives none.
These two shows are merely the most obvious snub and the most baffling inclusion this year. But they are indicative of a broader issue.
The way the entertainment industry chooses to award one work over another is broken. It's entirely possible that Michaela Coel just got on the wrong side of some powerful people. Or maybe her show was too intense — and too Black, and too female — for the HFPA's taste.
Michaela Coel on Turning Down a Million Dollar Deal with Netflix | Edinburgh TV Festivalwww.youtube.com
Is the solution to change that tiny group of journalists who select nominees and winners — to introduce some younger, more diverse voices? Make them somehow less susceptible to industry influence? Or is it to change the categories so there is more room when there's too much competition — and perhaps less room when an embarrassing filler seems like the only option? The answer is less clear than the fact that there's a problem.
But considering the power of these awards — and even the nominations themselves — to grant shows renewed popularity, and lend cachet to their creators the least we can do is call it out when a deserving show from a young Black creator is overlooked, and when formulaic, familiar pabulum takes a spot it doesn't deserve.

The store has been given until the end of April but manager Deborah Hill said that the store would cease trading once all the stock has gone.
The new plan that has been unveiled to save the high street of Boston
She said: "The business rates and online sales have been killing us.
"For a local business it's been impossible to keep going.
"Marks & Spencer has gone, what chance have little businesses got in the town if these huge high street retailers are struggling?
"I've been working here since we first started seven years ago, and I've met some lovely people in Boston.
"I'm devastated that we'll be closing down.
"It's typical, when you want to be busy you aren't but as soon as we've announced that we're closing we've been none stop."

Antoni Aleksander Iliński, also known as Iskender Pasha (; 1812–1861), was a Polish-Ottoman military officer and general. A Polish independence activist and insurgent, he took part in the independence struggles of Poles and Hungarians against the Austrian-Russian alliance. He converted to Islam in 1844 and subsequently served in various commanding posts in the Ottoman Army during the reign of Abdulmejid I (1839–1861) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Danube, Crimea, Transcaucasia, and Baghdad. He was promoted to the rank of Pasha (General) during the Crimean War in 1855.

Antoni Aleksander Iliński was born in 1812 to a Polish noble family in the town of Yarmolyntsi in Ukraine. In 1830, he took part in the November Uprising as a young officer of the Lithuanian Legion. He was an active member of the movement of Polish exiles led by Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski from Paris. Iliński worked under the leadership of Józef Bem in his abortive Portuguese Legion attempt (1833), and in further struggles to form Polish legions in Spain, France and elsewhere.

In 1844 he was arrested in Istanbul upon Russian request, for allegedly working to organise Ukrainian Cossack legions under Michał Czajkowski's "Eastern Agency". The Ottoman authorities were indifferent, but Russia pressured for his handover for trial. To escape this trap, he consented to an offer to convert to Islam and assumed Ottoman nationality under the new name of Mehmed Iskender. He was immediately accepted as a lieutenant colonel in the Ottoman Army as "Iskender Beg". In the years 1848–49, during the time of Spring of Nations, he was again Bem's aide in Hungary.

In the Ottoman Army
He served in the Army of Roumelia under Omar Pasha. He was a prominent figure in the military campaign that deposed and eventually executed the Herzegovina Vizier Ali-paša Rizvanbegović in 1851.

When the Crimean War broke out in 1853, he was charged with organizing and training the irregular troops (the bashi-bazouks) along the Danube. In the following year, Iskender Pasha's fierce and daring style in commanding successful cavalry raids on Russians brought him acclaim and he was soon promoted as colonel.

Early 1855 he was posted in the Yevpatoria Garrison in Crimea commanding a 400-strong cavalry regiment. His unit made a critical contribution in successfully repulsing a strong Russian assault on the town, which was threatening the rear of the Allied army besieging Sebastopol (see:Battle of Eupatoria) This victory brought him a second promotion in a year, making him a Pasha (general), (specifically a Mirliva, equivalent of a brigadier general).

The same year he commanded the advance guard of an expedition army under Omar Pasha which landed at Sukhumi, in the hope of relieving the Eastern Anatolian fortress-city Kars from a Russian siege (see: Siege of Kars). The city fell to the Russians, however, before the two armies could engage.

In 1857 he was again called to duty by Omar Pasha, who was appointed as the Governor and General Commander of Baghdad. He went to Baghdad and was active in the repression of tribal uprisings around Basra and in the Nejd area.

On his return to Constantinople in 1861, he fell suddenly ill after an official banquet and died on 2 June 1861. He was buried in Edirnekapı Martyr's Cemetery in Constantinople.

Q: Implementing a phase demodulator in software I'm currently attempting to send and receive some BPSK modulated data through sound. Currently, I'm using goertzel's algorithm as a bandpass filter for demodulation. I have no formal training in signal processing.
Given a sample rate of 44100Hz and a bucket size of 100, my intuition says that generating a wave at a frequency multiple of 441hz should result in me picking up a relatively constant phase. At other frequencies, the phase i detect should drift.
However, my current implementation shows a drift in phase when detecting a generated sound wave over the course of a second (around 90 degrees). Is this to be expected or a sign of a flaw in my implementation of goertzels?
Furthermore, is there a better, perhaps obvious way to detect the phase of a wave at a specific frequency then using goertzels?

A: A slow phase drift can be the result of a small difference in the clock frequencies of the transmitter and receiver.  This is to be expected.
Usually BPSK data is differentially encoded so you only need to detect the moments when the phase shifts by 180 degrees, and any slow phase drift or offset can be easily ignored.

A: You will need to perform some form of carrier recovery and symbol recovery to track and correct offsets in transmitter and receiver clocks
